Luokou, the middle hall of the Marshal's Mansion. After the banquet, Kou Zhong came to the door with Xu Xingzhi in a drunken state. Only then did he remember that he still didn't know who the envoy from the Li family was.
"Military advisor, who is here this time?" Xu Xingzhi said respectfully, "Miss Li family's third daughter, Li Xiuning." Kou Zhong was startled, turned around and left.
"Hey, Marshal, Princess Xiuning has been waiting for you for a long time. Where are you going now?" Xu Xingzhi was very surprised.
"Take a bath, you go and talk to her first, drink a few cups of tea, I'll be there soon!" Kou Zhong's voice came from far away, and it was obvious that he had returned to the backyard.
Xu Xingzhi: ...The word "色" has a knife on its head. This Li family is really unpredictable. Even a small messenger can hit their weak point directly.
For a long time, Li Xiuning sat in the hall, holding a tea cup in her bare hands, thinking silently. She was dressed in a red dress, which looked like a lady's dress, but except for a wooden hairpin, there was no decoration on her head.
What worries her is that this tea is a rare Longjing tea from the Song family, which is generally not available to ordinary people, but it is actually being used to entertain guests in this young commander's mansion.
Has the Song family really decided to get involved in the world? Thinking of this, Xiuning's mind became more and more heavy. What is the main reason why all the big families in the world are so stable now?
That big mountain has always been there, and no one wants to, let alone dare to take the lead, for fear of being used as a tool for others to establish their authority.
"Xiuning, what a coincidence. Why do you think of me? Are you here to see me?" Kou Zhong hurried in, his hair still a little damp. When he saw the wooden hairpin on the girl's head, his expression condensed.
, I feel even more satisfied.
Li Xiuning smiled: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you always talk nonsense when we meet? I came here specially to see you. There is no coincidence."
"Looking for me? Sister Xiuning, you're not here to raise an army to accuse me, and then take me back to the Li family to behead me." Kou Zhong joked.
Li Xiuning couldn't help but smile, her eyebrows moved, and she looked up and down at the young man in front of her. The change was really big.
In the past, Kou Zhong would only say hello and stutter when he saw him. Now, he is indescribably confident and domineering, and he is even more free and easy when dealing with him.
"What do you think?" Kou Zhong sat in the first place: "I told you, Sister Xiuning must have missed me, so she came to see me!"
"Shameless!" Li Xiuning's pretty face turned slightly red, and she quickly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to calm down her shock. The people she talked to were always young men from big families, romantic and alluring, using metaphors and inducements, but they were not as direct as Kou Zhong.
However, such a domineering confession still made her feel a little confused. As we all know, most girls' families want to have a strong supporter. What means being motivated, responsible, mature, steady, and ambitious can actually be summed up in four words: money and power.
After a moment of silence, Li Xiuning thought for a while and said: "Kou Zhong, I came here for two things. The first is: the winner is the king, the loser is Kou. I, Li, have lost to your young commander's army this time. I am convinced."
.But can those soldiers you captured be returned to us? We can exchange them with money, food, and horses. Secondly and most importantly, if possible, our Li family hopes to form an alliance with the Young Marshal's Army so that we can rely on each other.
, Secondly, it is to ensure that the people in the two places can recuperate and no longer suffer from the war." Kou Zhong frowned.
"Sister Xiuning, you don't know something. According to the rules, if someone is captured by my young commander's army, those who are willing to submit are our soldiers. Those who are unwilling to submit have become slaves, and many of them have been rewarded by me to those who have made meritorious services.
Generals. If Li wants to take those people back, he has to talk to those generals one by one." The smile on Li Xiuning's pretty face gradually disappeared.
Does this mean that you are directly rejecting yourself? So love will disappear, right?
"Sister Xiuning, I will give you a handwritten message later. You ask the housekeeper to negotiate with those people. As long as the price is enough, I believe they will respect me. Of course, you have to ask them about those soldiers who join my young marshal's army.
Just go back to Li's family voluntarily." Seeing that his sweetheart's expression was wrong, Kou Zhong hurriedly explained.
Li Xiuning's expression softened slightly.
"Kou Zhong, you and I are close friends. I heard that Sister Yuzhi is visiting your place. It seems that we are not on bad terms. In this case, our two families should not be so tense. Xiuning came here this time to help us.
A matter of family alliance."
"An alliance?" Kou Zhong thought thoughtfully, and then he was a little impressed. This is the foundation of the family. As long as it is for the benefit of the family, then even if others spit in their faces, if the leaders of the family have interests, they can still smile.
Wipe away the saliva, and even praise others for spitting well.
To be honest, he can't do it. He is a villain, and villains take revenge from morning to night.
"Yes, make an alliance!" Li Xiuning nodded: "To show our sincerity, we, the Tang Dynasty, specially selected a twenty-eight-year-old daughter of the Li family to marry you. She is handsome, intelligent, gentle and beautiful. Moreover, we can also promise that when the big Tang Dynasty comes,
On your wedding day, I, the Li family, will give you a city in Changping County as a dowry to show our Li family’s sincerity. Kou Zhong, what should I do to the common people? Peace and friendship are the blessings of all people!" After hearing this, Kou Zhong did not comment.
.
Peace? Only the weak can say these things. What the strong wants is order, an order where everyone is under his rules.
"Sister Xiuning, you know what I am thinking. What I have always wanted is you!" Kou Zhong stared deeply at the woman in front of him, his eyes full of nakedness.
"As long as you marry me, let alone a city, even if my young commander's army surrenders directly to your Li family!" The beggar gangster was born. From the first day he saw Li Xiuning, he secretly swore that if he could
If you get this woman, you will have no regrets even if you die!
Country? How can beauty be good? Li Xiuning was startled, but he was certain in his heart. Kou Zhong is still the same as before, but as a man, he has no interest in country?
Now that he is willing to surrender directly to the Li family, it can only explain one problem. The Song family did not intervene in the Young Marshal's army, otherwise he would not have the right to surrender at all.
very good!
"Kou Zhong, what do you think of me? Yes, I have some affection for you, and our Li family has just terminated our engagement with the Chai family, but I am a human being, not a tool!" Kou Zhong was overjoyed: "Really,
Sister Xiuning, you've broken off the engagement? That's great! Come on, let me show you something good!" After saying that, Kou Zhong stood up, pulled Li Xiuning out, turned left and right, and came to a place heavily protected.
Li Xiuning did not refuse and followed quietly throughout the process.
"Wow~" Kou Zhong opened the door and pointed to the huge sand table in the middle, feeling very proud.
"Look, Sister Xiuning!" Li Xiuning observed carefully and found that the sand table was very detailed, almost replicating the entire layout of a city inside and outside. Landscapes, trees, wells, and a secret passage could all be seen clearly.
"It's really amazing work. What is this?" Kou Zhong put his hands behind his hands and smiled.
"Liangdu! Sister Xiuning, I know that you are a majestic princess of the Tang Dynasty and can't help it, so I decided to capture Liangdu as a betrothal gift and then go to the Li family to propose marriage in person!"
"Liang Du?" Li Xiuning's face flushed, and she raised her head and looked deeply at this man, her beautiful eyes as warm as water.
It is rare in ancient times to propose marriage in a majestic city. If this comes true, won't she leave her name in history?
In the future, she might still be the most beautiful woman in history. Although this man has not read many books and is a bit generous, he did not expect to have such sincere thoughts.
"Did you capture all the beams when you wanted to? You will brag. And if you are not fully prepared, your loyal soldiers will suffer too many casualties, but you have to be careful that they will become disloyal." Li Xiuning said coquettishly.
Kou Zhongke became interested when talking about military matters: "Haha, let me tell you..." The next day, they had breakfast.
Kou Zhong personally helped Xiu Ning onto the horse and quietly watched her leaving, feeling happy. It was the dream of most men to lie drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman and wake up to take charge of the world.
It would be boring to be like Zi Ling, whose wife and children are just like a drop in the ocean in this world, fleeting and fleeting.
Turning back to the house, Kou Zhong thought for a while, then turned and headed towards the small lake in the garden, preparing to feed and watch the fish.
When he had nothing in the past, when he saw fish, he would only think of one thing: how to eat delicious food. But now, with the power and position in hand, he had a new hobby. He stood on the shore with some fish food in his hand.
, sway gently and watch the fish fight and jump.
No matter how beautiful, vigorous, colorful and graceful the carps are, they can only be at his mercy.
This fish food is like the power in his hand. He can give it to whomever he wants. If he wants it, he can, but he must make himself happy.
After a while, Kou Zhong walked to the lake, picked up the fish food that the maid had prepared long ago, picked up some and sprinkled it on the lake.
He knew that there were many fish waiting for food to arrive all the time. As long as he threw the bait, they would rush out in a short while.
After a while, Kou Zhong looked at the calm lake surface and fell into deep thought. Where is my fish? What about such a big fish that I have raised for such a long time?
...In the evening, the Young Marshal's Mansion, the corner, the grassland.
"Hiccup!" Song Yuzhi looked imageless, lying on his back holding his belly, his clothes were disheveled, and his mouth was full of oil.
"You're full, you're full, Le Ye, stop roasting, my body is already full of the things you made!" Not far away, the little yellow cat couldn't catch any fish, so he got all the fish in the lake in anger.
Caught it and grilled the fish vigorously.
The girl stretched out her little tongue and licked it. She obviously felt that this fish was the most delicious thing in the world, but she couldn't eat it anymore.
These fish were naturally the fish of the Young Marshal's Mansion. These guys didn't know what they were looking for and took the bait themselves. The little yellow cat was so angry that he simply killed them all.
According to Buddhism, after reincarnation, people who have committed great sins will be reduced to beasts and livestock in the world, and become the primates of all things: human food, each reincarnation will wash away their sins.
So the little yellow cat was doing a great good deed. Of course, the carps didn't deny it, they just agreed. This is what you and I wish for.
Amitabha, you are so good. It was not until late at night that the little yellow cat stopped chirping. Apparently, at this moment, he had saved all the ignorant fish in the lake.
Finally, the person and the cat continued to lie on the lawn and let out a long breath. They felt comfortable! The frogs croaked, the water sounded, the moonlight, and the evening breeze.
Song Yuzhi suddenly took off her long boots and thin white silk stockings, revealing a pair of delicate little feet, with lovely round and pink toes, and insteps as white as nephrite, and then gently stretched them out in front of the little yellow cat.
"Well, I promised to play with your feet when dad kicked me out of the house." Song Yuzhi said Rourou. Little Yellow Cat:?
??Everyone in the world knows that this cat is a grand master of martial arts and a true cat gentleman. What do you mean?
Huh? Are you kidding? You are going to test my kitty with this? I tell you! I won’t even touch it!
Song Yuzhi suddenly frowned: Hiss... be gentle, it's so itchy. The little yellow cat:... That's bad, why do my paws and tongue have their own thoughts?
"What a strange feeling." Song Yuzhi's eyes began to rippling with water. I don't know when she started to have some hobbies that others seemed incomprehensible to.
"Meow meow!" [It doesn't matter, it's not a big problem, take that one too.] The little yellow cat has accepted his fate. He is just an ordinary, weak and helpless kitten. How can he fight against the powerful cat claws?
And cat tongue.
Hey, you can't help yourself when you are in the arena. After playing for a while, Song Yuzhi looked around and said quietly: "Master Le, should we go?" As a great master, she still has some conscience. With the two of them,
If I don't leave, not to mention this fish, I'm afraid I'll make that Kou Zhong know what the sky is three feet high.
"Meow~" [Run away!]
"Then where should we go next?" Song Yuzhi was a little embarrassed. With her appetite, she probably wouldn't be welcome wherever she went, which was a bit uncomfortable.
Of course, she doesn't have to eat it, but Le Ye is eating it, so why not give it to her?
"Meow meow!" [Looking at the news in Song's weekly newspaper, are the two factions of good and evil and people from all walks of life gathered near the Jingnian Temple in Luoyang to compete for the world's most precious treasures and jade?
When there are more people here, someone must be careless and accidentally lose money or treasures. Let's go pick up some things and sell them for money so we can eat!
】The little yellow cat came up with a good idea. As we all know, the little yellow cat never bullies others and bullies the small ones.
But it wouldn't be immoral if these people picked up things they didn't want, right? Song Yuzhi thought thoughtfully and nodded heavily after a moment.
"Let's do it!" Both the person and the cat were happy masters, and they didn't bother to say goodbye and talk nonsense. They agreed to take their own things, such as ginseng and so on, and disappear directly.
Great master, it's fast...The next day, Kou Zhong woke up early in the morning and was a little confused, not knowing what to do.
The training of sergeants is left to the subordinates, and the work of the young marshal has been arranged for next month. The fish is gone!
"Reporting to the young marshal, when the maid went to clean up the room for the two great masters today, she found that the building was empty, leaving only a farewell letter." Xu Xingzhi came in to report.
As a military advisor and housekeeper, he was in charge of almost everything in the Young Marshal's army, no matter how big or small it was. He was fair and impartial, and everyone obeyed him.
Kou Zhong subconsciously took the letter and opened it. There were only two words on it: meow, and a big cat paw mark.
The young marshal was dumbfounded. What did this mean? After a moment, the two looked at each other, at a loss. It took a long time for Kou Zhong to realize that his fish had been stolen and eaten by those two guys, right?
