After lunch, Xiao An returned to the camp. He was General An of Six Cities and could not stay by his mother's side all day.
Before leaving, I told my brother Xiaole to take good care of my sister.
As for my mother, she has her father by her side now.
Xiao Le didn't mind his brother's nagging, and told him to concentrate on training soldiers and horses in the military camp.
In the study, Wei Zijun, his wife, and Leng Wuyi stood in front of a map, looking at the only roads from Yangli Kingdom to this place.
"I'll arrange for people to guard these places." Leng Wuyi said while pointing to a few locations.
He Zexu nodded and thought for a moment: "Then I will arrange people in these places."
"What about me?" Wei Zijun asked after looking at the location they marked.
"As long as we are here, you can handle the affairs of the six cities with peace of mind. For the rest, we are here." After He Zexu finished speaking, Leng Wuyi nodded along with him.
"Okay." Wei Zijun was not polite to them. After all, they were better at dealing with this kind of thing.
After confirming the plan, Leng Wuyi left immediately.
Originally I wanted to give He Zexu some advice, but considering that he was Wei Zijun's husband and that he led troops to fight all year round, of course he didn't need to give him any advice.
"Are the people he brought with him from the small camp? Or from the city?" He Zexu asked after Leng Wuyi walked away.
"They are not from the military camp, nor from the city, but from the Jianghu people who came to seek refuge with him before." Wei Zijun told him.
"Sanniang, I went to the secret room before noon." He Zexu hesitated and told her.
"Well, didn't you tell me when you went there?" Wei Zijun responded while continuing to look at the pictures in the city.
"That person's words were too irritating, and I couldn't hold it back, so I taught him a lesson." He Zexu looked at her expression as he spoke.
When Wei Zijun heard this, he raised his head and looked towards him.
"I mean, isn't he your cousin? Do you think I'm going too far?" He Zexu asked hesitantly.
"If I were to say that I was kind enough to keep him alive, would you think I was cold-blooded?" Wei Zijun looked into his eyes and asked.
When He Zexu heard what she said, he felt a little anxious at first, but immediately felt at ease.
"Sanniang, there is actually something I have always been curious about. I was in a hurry to return to Beijing and didn't bother to ask you last time." He Zexu thought for a while and said.
Curious? What's going on?
Wei Zijun looked at him puzzled, wanting to make a guess, but had no direction.
"That is, on that Duanhun River, how did you escape from the mouths of those beasts after falling into the river? Later, I asked my subordinates, and they described the scene at that time, which was very bloody, so, I..." He Zexu
"So are you sure that I died tragically in the belly of those evil beasts?" Wei Zijun smiled.
"Are you still smiling?" He Zexu couldn't help but ask when he saw her smiling.
Wei Zijun quickly stopped laughing: "Okay, I don't laugh, I was wrong. In fact, when I did that, I had rehearsed it in my mind countless times. When your subordinates agreed to listen to me and leave from the river,
, I brought a water bag.
The water bag is not filled with water or wine, but with a pigment powder extracted from plants.
When that thing comes into contact with water, it will turn scarlet and smell of blood.
I also added some other chemicals to the pigment powder, which will make the evil beasts extremely excited, and the excitement is enough to make them bite each other.
I am good at playing in water. I can swim in the water and dive underwater.
The moment your good sister pushed me into the river, I pulled out the plug of the water bag. Therefore, when you first saw the scarlet blood in the river, it was actually the visual effect of pigment when it met the water.
The blood-red water rolling in the river behind is the blood of the evil beasts that were poisoned and became excited and bit each other and killed each other. It is the blood of the evil beasts.
At that time, the current in the river was very strong, and your men couldn't stop the raft even if they wanted to. And the farther away you are, the less strange the scene in the river will be.
In fact, the moment I fell into the river, I quickly dived first, a little deeper, and then swam to the side.
The evil beasts in the river, smelling the smell of blood, lost their minds and bit each other, and the effect was so successful that your men mistakenly thought it was me they were tearing apart." After Wei Zijun finished speaking, he looked at it with a guilty conscience.
the person in front of you.
She was mentally prepared, and it didn't matter if she was scolded or complained.
"Sanniang, why are you so courageous? You have just rehearsed it in your mind many times and never practiced it. How dare you do it for real? What if you fail? Didn't you think that you would fail?"
After He Zexu was shocked, he became panicked.
Just thinking about it, he felt that this method of cheating death was simply too crazy and too risky.
And she actually dared? If she failed that day, she would not be the only one who would be buried in the belly of the evil beast, but her four mothers!
"Ahem, don't be impatient. Listen to me. It's not like I haven't practiced it. I've tried it by the river before, but I didn't actually go into the water. I just used the caught hare and threw it into the river.
Attract the evil beasts, and then pour the pigment powder into the river, and then the evil beasts will quickly go crazy." Wei Zijun told.
That's it, He Zexu understood, but in his heart he still felt that she was bold enough to go out of his way: "What if it fails?"
"If I fail, I am destined to be unable to escape this disaster." Wei Zijun did not dare to laugh.
Because at this time, his expression was too serious.
"Sanniang, you did this in private, didn't you deceive me a lot?" He Zexu asked again.
When Wei Zijun heard this question, he immediately turned his face away, not daring to look at him: "It's been so long, can't we just settle the blame?"
He Zexu looked at her reaction at this time, feeling annoyed and amused at the same time. He reached out and gently held her cheek and turned to him: "So, you don't plan to compensate me?"
"Compensation? Yes, what do you want? Do you want to eat sweet and sour fish every day? I cook it for you every day, and there is also the wild tea you like to drink. I will fry it for you a lot more, and you can make tea soup for it.
You can take a bath or shower." Wei Zijun said immediately.
He Zexu couldn't really get angry with her: "You've done too much to me. You can't just use sweet and sour fish and wild tea to try to stop me."
"Then what do you want?" Wei Zijun couldn't think of any other way to compensate.
He has no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry: "Will I buy you a few wives? Then don't think about it as soon as possible. It's impossible. I won't agree."
Hearing that she had thought wrongly, He Zexu smiled: "I made an oath, how could I break it?"
"Then what kind of compensation do you want? Whatever I can do, I will definitely promise you." Wei Zijun promised.
He Zexu slowly leaned down and lowered his head, his face getting closer and closer to hers: "I want you...
