Chapter 33 The Madam of Chu State

There is no new news from Wu Ya'er.

After giving up the pursuit of Ankang Mountain, he turned back to Xiangzhou and worked with Liang Zhen to consolidate the northern land. The remaining rebels there were not afraid, and only Shi Chao was left, who fled further north.

Yuan Ji looked at the map and said, "We should meet up with Liang Zhen."

Li Minglou said: "Then he can take a good rest. This battle has seriously damaged his vitality."

Of course, you have to be determined to fight without sacrificing your vitality. Yuanji wanted to refute, but he was shocked when he said it, and swallowed it back. Don't you know this truth? The lady just sighed, why did he want to refute? It's strange, he is not like this.

of people.

Moreover, Wu Ya'er's vitality was severely damaged in this battle. It can be said that it was for them to win the capital.

He should be grateful to him and admire him...

Yuanji took a few deep breaths and said, "How about we reinforce him with some troops..." Still unable to bear the words, he put his hands on his knees and clenched them.

Li Minglou shook his head: "That's not possible!"

Yuanji let go of his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

"... Ankang Mountain has gained Hedong Road, and we are the most dangerous now." Li Minglou said, "He should give us some reinforcements. He is my husband."

Yuanji smiled, but he didn't feel like he wanted to laugh too much. He didn't know what felt wrong...

"Miss, don't worry." He said, "This battle at Ankang Mountain has also severely damaged our vitality. He will not dare to attack us in a short period of time."

Li Minglou said: "This winter is the key, we must do a good job in the autumn harvest."

It is summer now, and the autumn harvest here in the capital cannot be expected. The capital is like a giant beast and needs a lot of rice.

"Huainan Road can be self-sufficient." Yuanji said, "Any further support to the capital will be a drop in the bucket."

"Lian Xiaojun recently bought rice and grain in Jiannan Road, and it's probably almost done." Li Minglou said, "Let Jiang Liang write him a letter asking about the progress, and then ask Yu Qian and the others to come to the palace to discuss matters."

Yuan Ji responded that the discussion was about people's livelihood, so he didn't need to participate. He went to Jiang Liang first. As a retainer, Jiang Liang confidently lived with Li Minglou in the palace, so much so that many people in the capital secretly said that he was a chamberlain.

.....He is greedy for money, shameless and pretentious.

Liu Fan had advised him not to go too far, and Jiang Liang didn't care about his reputation.

"I'm already this old." He tugged on his sparse beard to show Liu Fan, "When I close my eyes, I can no longer hear others praising me. I still like to be respected and flattered now."

Especially when he was a teacher in the capital, he could only stand on tiptoe behind the crowd and take a look at the nobles.

There will be no regrets in this life and death.

Liu Fandao had nothing to say about this kind of pursuit. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Liang, who is greedy for money and shameless, is still wearing patched old clothes, he is mending torn socks with a needle and thread in front of the lamp. He is always holding the

The old teapot, the food and drink were exactly the same as those of the children around Mrs. Chu, and she stole his money to buy candy without paying back any money... He cut off his robe and broke off his relationship with him.

When Yuan Ji came over, Jiang Liang was flipping through the thick roster with a weird smile on his face, wondering which company he was plotting against.

The hundreds of years of prosperity in the Xia Dynasty have produced too many aristocratic families with rich heritage. In the peaceful and prosperous times, the people nourished the aristocratic families with their flesh and blood. Now it is the time for the aristocratic families to support the people.

After hearing that Mrs. Chu asked him to write a letter to Lian Xiaojun, Jiang Liang immediately put down what he was doing and started laying out paper and polishing ink.

"There are too many people in the capital, and those aristocratic families have hid all their food and are only willing to give gold and silver." He said, this is not Huainan Road, the capital is not yet stable, and Ankang Mountain is still watching, so we cannot use troops to raid homes.

The method of genocide forced them to take out the food, "Fortunately, Mr. Lian is here."

He wields his pen like a sword and speaks coquettishly.

"Don't come back if you don't get half of the rice from Jiannan Road."

.....

.....

After Jiang Liang was told to write a letter, Li Minglou discussed matters with officials in the palace, and Yuan Ji returned to his residence.

He did not live in the palace, but at the palace gate, because he was responsible for supervising the craftsmen who repaired the palace.

Fang Er and Jiang Ming were eating pickled vegetables and drinking rice wine in the house. When they saw that he was unhappy, they asked what was wrong, but what happened to the eldest lady?

"Miss, everything is fine. I think something is wrong with me." Yuanji picked up the rice wine, took a sip, and told the two of them his doubts, "Now that I follow the eldest lady, I have seen more of the world than when I followed the governor, but I have become narrow-minded.

Already."

I don’t know why, but when I hear the eldest lady praising Wu Yaer, I want to refute and slander him.

"Wu Ya'er is indeed a commendable person." Yuan Ji said, "He is brave and capable of fighting. Except for the initial incident, he also keeps his word and is quite helpful to us."

He should praise and appreciate such a person. Why does he feel disgusted when the lady mentions him?

"That's not because you are narrow-minded." Fang Er said.

Isn't it? Yuan Ji looked at him, and Fang Er raised a glass of wine at him: "That's because your vigilance instinct is stronger."

alert?

"A person as powerful as Wu Ya'er, although he cooperates with us now, what if he becomes our enemy in the future?" Fang Er said.

Such an enemy is so terrifying, Yuan Ji and Jiang Ming both looked solemn.

"Look, can you not be vigilant? This is instinct. The more praiseworthy he is, the more vigilant he must be." Fang Er looked at them and drank the rice wine in one gulp. "After all, he is not Han Xu, Xiang Yun or Xiang Nan.

."

He was completely ignorant to them, and had no idea how to control him other than holding his mother.

So that's it, Jiang Ming nodded, Yuan Ji dismissed the worry between his brows, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

"What's more, that Wu Ya'er belongs to Liang Zhen." Jiang Ming said, holding the pickles and humming twice, "Liang Zhen, I don't know how proud you are now."

If they hadn't driven him out of the capital, Liang Zhen wouldn't be where he is today.

Yuanji smiled: "He never dreamed who gave him such good luck."

.....

.....

"All my bad luck, Liang Zhen, is because of that Li Fengan. After his death, I, Liang Zhen, have everything smooth sailing."

Outside the gate of Xiangzhou City, Liang Zhen, who was wearing armor and had a thin figure and gray hair and beard, was laughing loudly. He was much older, but full of energy and his voice was like a bell.

"What is Jiannan Road like now? The young governor was supported by Han Xu, a civil servant, and his daughter escaped from Taiyuan Prefecture in embarrassment."

The generals gathered around him laughed.

Speaking of which, Li Fengan's lifelong wisdom was ruined by his daughter.

There was the sound of horse's hooves galloping ahead, and puffs of dust and smoke were rolled up. A big black horse leaped out of the dust and smoke, and the man in red cotton armor and black military robes on it instantly dazzled the eyes.

"My crow." Liang Zhen shouted, opening his hands to greet him.

"Here comes Governor Wu." The other generals also rushed forward.

Liang Zhen had already held the dismounted Wu Ya'er in his arms, patted him with a smile and looked at him: "How many years have we not seen each other?"

Wu Ya'er smiled and said, "It's been four years."

Liang Zhen sighed: "Why did it pass so quickly? Four years have passed and I'm still not dead."

Thinking of sitting in the capital, he felt that he would not even survive that year.

Wu Ya'er smiled and said: "How could the boss die? The rebels haven't been killed yet."

Liang Zhen laughed loudly: "My little crow's mouth is the sweetest."

The generals around had weird expressions, but Wu Ya'er had a sweet mouth? They were all former members of the Zhenwu Army, but they had never felt this way before. They only felt that Crow's mouth was hard and cruel...

But no matter how ruthless it is, it is just a bird resting on a big tree like Liang Zhen. Once the big tree dies, it will be homeless, so no one cares.

Unexpectedly, this bird flew into the sky.

As a result, their Zhenwu Army became famous, and it was no longer what it used to be. Everyone responded and laughed.

"What was the boss talking about earlier?" Wu Ya'er said with a smile, "I heard him laughing on the road."

Liang Zhen snorted: "It is said that Li Fengan's daughter, who was in Taiyuan Mansion with troops and horses, fled without fighting. Li Fengan's face was completely humiliated."

This time, what happened in Taiyuan Mansion spread all over the world, and Miss Li from Jiannan Road became famous.

Wu Ya'er thought about this name and felt a little familiar with it. When he first went to the capital, he heard this name. Miss Li sent someone to scold Liang Zhen, and then provoked Liang Zhen to go to the palace to see the emperor, and finally made him the child governor.

.

He thought at the time that this Miss Li was unusual. Later, he heard that she was married, but there was no more news...

I didn't expect to hear this again.

Did you make a mistake at the beginning? In other words, this young lady only has strategy but no courage...

He agreed with Liang Zhen that although the Ankang Mountain rebels were terrifying, it was unbearable to flee without fighting.

"...What's wrong with women? Women should be upright and confident?" Liang Zhendao reached out and patted Wu Ya'er, "Isn't our wife of Crow Crow, Mrs. Chu, also a woman? Look what she did!"

The corners of Wu Ya'er's mouth curled up, she...

".....This wife was chosen by my discerning eye for Crow."

"Look at these two couples, how well they match each other."

"I think back then, I was so worried about Crow's marriage..."

Liang Zhen's words echoed in everyone's ears, starting a story that has been told countless times. What can everyone do? Who dares to interrupt? Probably only the protagonist in the story...

No one wants to listen to other people telling lengthy stories about their wives. It’s so embarrassing and boring.

Everyone's eyes fell on Wu Ya'er, who stood beside Liang Zhen, listening carefully and intently.

".....The couple are a perfect match!"

Hearing the words, he smiled, and in front of the withered city in summer, it was like flowers blooming.

...

.......

(Double monthly pass? Crow is out for business hahaha)
