"It's absolutely true! The villain will never be wrong!" The soldier nodded repeatedly.
"Is she crazy?!" Liu Xiu let go of the soldiers' clothes and stamped her feet angrily. Does she know what she is doing? Going deep into the enemy camp and assassinating the enemy leader, no matter whether she succeeds or not, how can she still survive?
Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Act immediately! Attack the enemy camp!"
"Lord!" Yao Qi hurriedly stopped him, "It's not the right time to take action now! Heavy rain is coming, Lord, just wait a little longer!"
Liu Xiu was about to speak when Yao Qi continued: "What's more, Xi Ling has already entered the enemy camp. Even if our army takes action now, we may not be able to rescue Xi Ling. Judging from my subordinates, since Xi Ling dares to enter the enemy camp alone, there must be something To ensure self-preservation, lord, let’s wait a little longer!”
Ma Wu, Zhu You, and Fu Jun also knew very well that taking action now would not only not help, but might also cause harm. However, if they watched Xu Xiling enter the enemy camp alone to assassinate the enemy's general, their own side would sit back and ignore it. , in this case, they can’t say it out loud.
People's eyes all fell on Liu Xiu, waiting for him to make a decision.
Liu Xiu's expression changed uncertainly. He raised his eyes and looked at the sky. It was now windy, large dark clouds were gathering rapidly in the sky, and the sky was gradually getting dark. He looked around, and everyone's eyes were staring at him.
What does it mean to shoulder a heavy responsibility? There are hundreds of people waiting for you to make a decision. And this decision can affect their life or death. Liu Xiu's fists clenched and unclenched. Open it and hold it tightly.
After a while, he said in a solemn voice: "Let's wait another quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, whether it rains or not, we will launch an attack!"
His words made everyone present secretly sigh in relief. After Liu Xiu finished speaking, he walked aside. When he came to Wu Zui, he gently stroked the mane of the war horse with his hands, and at the same time raised his head and looked up at the sky.
Zhu You walked up to Ma Wu, bumped him with his elbow, and whispered: "Zizhang, don't you recognize this girl Xi Ling? I thought you would agree to attack immediately!"
Ma Wu's face turned red, he glared at Zhu You with dissatisfaction, and said, "Things have their own priorities, and I won't distinguish between public and private matters!"
After speaking, he whispered again: "If Xi Ling can be safe this time, I will definitely treat her to a drink and apologize in person."
As time passed, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and the sky became darker and darker. Just as people were waiting anxiously, suddenly, there was a click and a thunder exploded.
Everyone's bodies were shocked and they raised their heads subconsciously.
Bang! A drop of water fell on Zhu You's forehead. He raised his hand and touched his forehead, looked at his fingertips, and said excitedly to Liu Xiu who was not far away: "My lord, it's raining, it's really raining!" "
Just as he was talking, raindrops fell down, hitting the leaves with a splashing sound. The raindrops fell more and more, and became denser and denser. After a short time, it turned into a downpour.
Liu Xiu couldn't wait any longer. He got on his horse and shouted to the left and right: "Action!" As he spoke, he took out a sweat towel and tied it around his face.
Ma Wu, Yao Qi and others also mounted their horses one after another. Like Liu Xiu, they covered their faces with sweat towels and then urged their horses to go deeper into the woods.
Speaking of Xu Xiling, she only took two maids, Xiaomei and Xiaoju, along the official road to the army camp.
In fact, the official and military camp was built around the ferry on the east bank opposite Juoyang. For people on the east bank of the Juishui River, the shortest way to go to Juoyang was through here.
Xu Xiling and the two maids were stopped by patrolling officers and soldiers before they reached the entrance of the military camp.
The commander leading the team walked up to the three of them and asked in a bad tone: "What are you doing? Do you know that breaking into the military camp without permission is a capital crime?"
Xiaomei and Xiaoju deliberately pretended to be timid and kept shrinking behind Xu Xiling. Xu Xiling slowly unbuttoned one side scarf and said to the minister with a smile: "This young lady is planning to go to the ferry.
Take a boat to Juoyang."
"Go to Huoyang..." The chief officer laughed out loud, and was about to reprimand him, but when he saw Xu Xiling's appearance clearly, the words of reprimand were in his mouth, and instantly disappeared into ashes. Not to mention that he was dumbfounded, and the nine soldiers behind him also
They were all dumbfounded. They had never seen such a beautiful woman in their lives. Moreover, this woman's eyes seemed to be able to talk. Her long and curved eyelashes were like two small fans, flickering and fanning.
It's heart-wrenching.
Seeing the other party looking at him in a daze, Xu Xiling asked cautiously: "Master Jun?"
"Ah? Ah!" Shi Chang came to his senses, swallowed his saliva with a grunt, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Miss, you don't know yet, right? The east bank ferry in Tuoyang has been taken over by the county.
The government has requisitioned it, and now if we want to go to Huoyang, we can only go to Nanjiuqu Ferry."
"Nanjiu Qu Ferry? Aren't we almost at Wancheng? We have to walk hundreds of miles more!" Xiaomei whispered.
Xu Xiling glared at her and signaled her not to talk too much. She said to Shi Chang: "We are going to Tuoyang to visit relatives, but the carriage broke down halfway. We walked here. The military master asked us to go to Nanjiuqu Ferry. Even if
The three of us, the master and the servant, are so exhausted that we can't go that far. I hope the military master can be accommodating." As she spoke, she took out a delicate little pouch from her sleeve and stuffed it into the chief's hand.
.
Shi Chang didn't even bother to care about what was in the kit. He only felt that Xu Xiling's little hands were soft and boneless. When he touched his hand, the ecstatic numbness spread from the palm of his hand to his whole body.
.
"Miss... what are you doing?" Shi Chang said with a red face.
"It's just a little thought. I hope the military master will be accommodating." Xu Xiling looked at Shi Chang with a smile. The smile on her face and her big bright eyes were like little claws, tickling people's hearts.
The chief opened the small bag of tips, poured it out, and rolled out two small golden beans.
The two little golden beans are not big, only weighing one or two coins, but because they were made by Xu Xiling, these two little golden beans have become so delicate and delicate, different from other golden beans.
"This... this is too valuable. Miss, please take it back!" He said this, but his long hands were holding two small golden beans tightly.
"The little girl really has no choice now. Please ask the military master to help the little girl!"
"Uh! Okay, okay, okay!" Seeing the sadness and sadness on Xu Xiling's face, as if she had lost her soul, she nodded repeatedly, then put the little golden bean into the brocade bag, held it in her arms, and said:
"Miss, please wait here for a moment. I will go back and report to the captain!"
It was only then that Xu Xiling knew that the commander of the officers and soldiers on the east bank was a county military captain. The commander asked his men to protect Xu Xiling's three daughters, and he himself ran all the way into the camp.
.
An ordinary commander could not talk to the captain at all. The level difference between the two sides was too big. However, Xu Xiling was lucky. The commander she met happened to be from the same hometown as the captain in charge, and she had a good personal relationship.
The commander ran all the way into the Chinese military tent and saw the captain sitting in the middle, handling paperwork. He intervened and saluted, and said: "Colonel Pan, there are three masters and servants outside the camp who want to cross the river from the ferry. Do you think it's okay?
Can you be accommodating and let the three of them pass?"
The captain raised his head, gave Shi a long look in displeasure, and said, "Did I tell you that you, boy, are full of food? Do you still need to report such a thing to me? The East Ferry at Juiyang has been closed.
No one is allowed to pass without permission, this is an order personally given by the Captain!"
Shi Chang shrank his neck when he was scolded, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word.
The captain raised his eyebrows, looked at him, chuckled, and said: "You have always been unprofitable, so you are so active this time. Are you depriving me of any benefits? Take it out and let me see!"
"No...no..." Shi Chang stammered.
The captain looked up and smiled, raised his hand and nodded, and said, "You still want to lie to me?"
Elder Shi blushed. He really didn't want to hand over the two golden beans. Although they were not very valuable, the lady who gave them was as beautiful as a fairy. Don't ask him to hand over the two golden beans now.
, even if he were asked to hand over that exquisite little bag, it would be like cutting his flesh.
He said sternly: "Captain Pan...Brother Pan, the master and servant are all weak women, and the carriage broke down halfway. Let the three of them walk to Nanjiuqu Ferry. I'm afraid they won't get there.
On the way, someone robbed me of my money and sex, and I died an unexpected death."
The captain heard the key point. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then the master and the servant are beautiful?"
"Uh...this..."
"Haha!" The captain looked up and smiled and said: "It's rare for a girl to fall in love with you. I want to see what the three masters and servants look like. If they are really good, I will propose a marriage for you.
!”
The captain's name was Pan Ji, and he was from three households in Danshui County. The eldest son was named Pan Li, who was also from three households. He was from the same village as Pan Ji, but they only had the same surname, not the same clan.
Pan Ji asked Pan Li to bring the three masters and servants of Xu Xiling into the Chinese army tent.
When Xu Xiling walked into the Chinese military tent, took off her veil, and gave Pan Ji a blessing, Pan Ji and Pan Li had exactly the same reaction, and they were dumbfounded. She didn't look like a woman in the world, more like the reincarnation of Daji, so charming to the bone.
, charming and charming.
If we compare Xu Xiling and Yin Lihua, the latter is beautiful from top to bottom, while the former is alluring from top to bottom. The two women belong to different types, but they have both reached the extreme of that type.
.
Seeing Pan Ji looking at Xu Xiling with wide eyes, almost flying out of his eyes, Pan Li couldn't help coughing.
When Pan Ji came back to his senses, he coughed twice to hide the embarrassment on his face, and asked, "I wonder what your lady's name is?"
Xu Xiling smiled at Pan Ji and said: "The little girl's surname is Xu, and her name is Xiling. She is originally from Huyang. She later escaped from the war and went to Tanghe. Now I heard that the rebels will attack Tanghe again soon.
The little girl had no choice but to go to a relative's house in Tuoyang to escape the disaster of the war."
What she said is quite reasonable, and there are many people like this who are running away from the war.
Pan Ji blinked, thought for a moment, slapped his thigh fiercely, and said with a smile: "So you are the eldest lady of the Xu family in Huyang, I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time!"
No wonder this woman is so beautiful. It turns out that she is the legendary eldest lady of the Xu family in Huyang, which makes sense.
In Nanyang County, Xu Xiling is also known far and wide as the rich girl. She is famous not because of her family background, but because of her beauty.
Although there are many rumors about her beauty, very few people have actually seen Xu Xiling's true face.
After finding out Xu Xiling's life experience, Pan Ji became more polite to her. He stood up, walked up to Xu Xiling, waved his hand and said, "Miss Xu, please sit down quickly!"
Xu Xiling said with an expression of embarrassment: "Xiling won't sit down! Xiling is in a hurry and hopes that the general can clear the way for convenience and allow Xiling to cross the river from the ferry as soon as possible."
"This..." It was a rare opportunity to get in touch with Xu Xiling, and Pan Ji was reluctant to let her go. Just when he was hesitating what to say, he suddenly heard a loud clicking sound coming from outside the camp.
