"Don't worry, Your Highness the King of Chu. With me here, how can Mrs. Xiahou be wronged?" Yang Feng emphasized his status as "Sai Hou" in front of Bai Tu.
"Yeah." Bai Tu responded somewhat coldly.
Yang Feng was not bothered by this either. After all, the King of Chu was afraid of henpecks and would not dare to show his happiness - why did he know that Bai Tu was henpecked?
Nonsense! If you are not afraid of guilt, does Mrs. Xiahou need to run away?
On the other side, Zhang Xiu also solemnly asked for orders: "The official has lived up to the king's trust and has protected...the envoy has returned!"
Bai Tu:……
"Thank you for your hard work, Youwei." Although Bai Tu was speechless, Zhang Xiu seemed to have completely accepted the setting, but he didn't treat Zhang Xiu as he did Yang Feng, who was following orders.
In fact, Yang Feng thought about it after he returned and felt that since Zhang Xiu dared to do this, he might have misunderstood him before...
After using his supreme wisdom, Yang Feng remembered that Jia Xu's old yin "beep" seemed to be the teacher of another female official in the Chu Kingdom. So, Zhang Xiu may not be from the Queen of Chu!
At the same time, Yang Feng did not dare to mention the previous defeat. He looked like the scene was harmonious. After greeting Bai Tu for a few words, he led his troops and left. After that, he would take over Xu County.
Yang Feng no longer had any temper for Chu's "black cavalry". Thinking about the previous battles, he still felt trembling in his heart.
Of course, Yang Feng had no intention of directly surrendering to Chu.
First of all, Yang Feng has become accustomed to being a small warlord of his own. There is room for him to survive in the Fu Han camp, but it is impossible in Chu State. It is the limit for him to continue to lead his troops. How can it be like now?
In this way, directly give him the territory to develop on his own?
Secondly...
Yang Feng still had serious concerns about the military discipline of his officers, and it was hard to get rid of it. Even if he was cleansed and emphasized strictly, he could only maintain a superficial appearance.
After all, Yang Feng was unwilling to abandon so many low-level generals who had been burned, killed and kidnapped. He wanted them to completely change their ways and return to their rightful ways... Haha.
In the alliance of various forces to support the Han Dynasty, as long as it looks reasonable on the surface, it will be fine, but if you join the Chu...
Yang Feng probably doesn’t have enough heads to cut off!
What's more, the forces supporting the Han Dynasty may not be afraid of the Chu State. Yang Feng also thought in his heart: Don't look at me now because I am afraid of the Chu Army. If the Marquis of Qi and others block it in front, I will still dare to kick them in the back...
After Yang Feng left, Bai Tu met Xia Houjuan again.
When he saw Xia Houjuan dressed in women's clothing, Bai Tu couldn't help but be stunned. It wasn't until Lu Lingqi's waist was secretly attacked by Lu Lingqi that he came to his senses.
In fact, it's not that Xia Houjuan is so amazing, but... during the period after learning Xia Houjuan's identity, Bai Tu felt very uneasy, and all he could think about was the women's version of Cao Bang.
even……
Already prepared to be eye-catching, and then think about the possibility that the female version of Cao Bang will become the princess... Bai Tu finally understands the emperor in "Ouchi Secret Agent 00 Shots".
However, after actually meeting Xia Houjuan, Bai Tu realized that his previous assumptions were completely nonsense!
"Cao Bang" is the men's version of Xia Houjuan, which does not mean that Xia Houjuan is the women's version of Cao Bang - after all, in order to dress up as a man, Xia Houjuan used to make himself look ugly.
"Juan is ashamed to have caused trouble to the King of Chu." When Xiahou Juan saw Bai Tu, his face turned red at first, and then he said apologetically.
Since becoming an important planner of various Chu dramas, Xiahou Juan and Bai Tu have met frequently, but... Xiahou Juan still feels embarrassed when he thinks of the rumors he made in order to escape.
"Huh." Lu Lingqi snorted softly.
"It also troubled Empress Chu..." Xia Houjuan said to Lu Lingqi again.
This scene made Zhang Xiu feel a little restless, and he quickly asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, the last general will go to organize the army first."
"Thank you, General Zhang, for your help. In order to frighten Xiao Xiao, Juan made up a lot of rumors and deceived the general. Please forgive me." Xiahou Juan said quickly.
"Ah?" Zhang Xiu looked very surprised, which made Bai Tu glare at him - it's a rumor. Why are you surprised? With my character, is it strange that it's a rumor?
"Ahem, cough, cough, Xia Houfu... Don't worry, miss, I won't talk nonsense!" Zhang Xiu felt Bai Tu's gaze and immediately reacted.
However, it makes no difference whether he talks nonsense or not.
After all, that guy Yang Feng will definitely spread the word, and the entire Wancheng Army, except Ji Zao soldiers, has basically heard about it...
If it were before, the spread of this gossip might have been slower, but... the industrialization process has led to the concentration of workshops, which will also lead to the concentration of workers, which will lead to a sharp increase in the speed of message exchange - in terms of magnitude, it is no different from the Internet
Appear.
After all, most of the ordinary farmers in the past would never enter the county town in their lifetime, and there was no concentrated population. For them, the emperor just used a golden pole. But... after a period of information exchange, they began to understand that the emperor's happiness
It's not as simple as a golden pole.
As for the big gossip about "Mrs. Xiahou", Bai Tu will probably return to Aurous Hill before he does!
What's even more terrible is that the speed of news transmission at this time is faster than before, but it's also really slow...
Refuting rumors? No matter in terms of spread speed or spread, it cannot be faster than folk gossip, and this kind of gossip is that no matter how much people believe in Chu State and Bai Tu, they will instinctively believe the rumor itself.
This has nothing to do with Bai Tu's prestige, but everyone's joy...
The only thing that can refute the rumor and must prove it is that Mrs. Xiahou was hunted down by "Queen Lu", which is completely false!
This can only be proven through actual actions.
…
Having rescued "Cao Bang", Bai Tu breathed a sigh of relief...how strange!
This "rescue" process was so bizarre that even now Bai Tu still can't accept it.
But at least there was no need for Bai Tu to take charge of the central army himself. He handed over the army directly to Zhang Xiu. Bai Tu took the guards and rushed back to Wancheng first. Cao Bang... no, Xia Houjuan naturally followed suit.
When they returned to Wancheng, the sky was already dark. Bai Tu originally wanted to arrange for Xiahou Juan to go to the post house to rest, but this time Lu Lingqi directly intervened and said to Xiahou Juan: "You go and wash up first, and then come to the prefect's house to see me."
Before Bai Tu could say anything, Xia Houjuan seemed to have guessed it and agreed immediately.
And as soon as she returned to the Prefect's Mansion, Lu Lingqi "took over" her duties directly, leaving Bai Tu aside, taking off her military uniform and changing into the attire of the Empress of Chu...
Bai Tu honestly went to the office first - compared to Xia Houjuan, Bai Tu was more worried about himself!
Bai Tu knew Lu Lingqi's temperament very well. Although he was feeling emotional now, he would not be too emotional about Xia Houjuan. After all, the previous "story" was also a temporary solution.
Although Xia Houjuan had no intention of passing the blame and just took it on his own, Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi both knew that this story was Yang Xiu's original work...
There have been a lot of worries recently, but as soon as Bai Tu enters office mode...it becomes even more worrying!
Bai Tu, the majestic king of Chu, would naturally not only have family matters to worry about. If the Chu country was really so stable, Bai Tu wouldn't have to spend a few years cultivating himself.
There were even official matters to worry about, so Bai Tu even forgot about personal matters for a while, until the middle of the night...
