Chapter 652: Preparing for the Battle to Capture the Tower
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Li is 18 this year and has not yet started a family and raised children. You have so many outstanding confidants. Can you introduce a dozen or twenty of them to me?" Li Xiaofan was very witty and expected to please Rao Yue.
Unfortunately, the answer he got was three words... Hehehe.
"Everyone, get up, we are a family, you don't need to be too polite to me." Zhou Xingyun quickly motioned to the beauties to stand down. He will slowly enjoy this kind of imperial treatment in the future, but now he must leave a good and amiable impression on everyone.
"Thank you City Lord." The eldest girls stood up and focused on Zhou Xingyun.
At this time, Zhou Xingyun, who was so shameless, was extremely shy for once and scratched his butt at a loss: "Xiaoya, you continue to practice, don't worry about us..."
"Hmm. Are you looking for Xuanyuan Chongwu?" When Mu Ya left the barracks, she happened to hear Zhou Xingyun asking Han Qiumiao about Xuanyuan Chongwu's residence.
"Yes! That's why we passed by here. Then I saw you guys practicing archery, and I wanted to say hello to you."
A wise man does not do anything wrong, and is not afraid of ghosts calling at the door in the middle of the night. Zhou Xingyun had an undue desire for more than a hundred beauties at the shooting range. As a result, there was no 300 taels of silver in the place, so he forced himself to find an excuse for "passing by".
"Xuanyuan Chongwu shouldn't be in the barracks. I saw him go to the top of the mountain just now." Mu Ya always has a good look in her eyes. Not long ago, she saw Xuanyuan Chongwu passing by the shooting range alone.
"Oh. Then... let's wait here for him to come back." Zhou Xingyun quickly came to a conclusion. Instead of running to the top of the mountain to find Xuanyuan Chongwu, it would be better to stay at the shooting range and watch the beautiful woman shoot archery.
What is regrettable is that they may attack the capital city wall tomorrow. The members of Youyu Luoyue Archery Team followed Mu Ya's command and practiced for a quarter of an hour to maintain a good shooting feel before disbanding and returning to the camp to rest.
Zhou Xingyun, who was bored in every way, had no choice but to follow Mu Ya's prompts and go to the top of the mountain to find Xuanyuan Chongwu to see what he was doing alone.
Zhou Xingyun continued to move forward with three animals, and met little brother Wu Jiewen on the way...
Wu Jiewen did not see them, but walked by in a hurry carrying a mountain bird.
At first Zhou Xingyun didn't know what Wu Jiewen was anxious about, until he saw Tang Yuanying appearing on the other side to meet him.
It is true that the two of them met in the mountains and woods, which seemed like they were sneaking around, but they were not doing anything immoral.
"It's too small. Isn't there a bigger one?" Tang Yuanying looked at the mountain bird in Wu Jiewen's hand and complained rather dissatisfiedly.
"Second Senior Sister, I tried my best. It's early spring, the weather is not warm, and it's raining lightly today. Almost all the game on the mountain is hiding in its nests. I searched for a long time before I found this one." Wu Jiewen said bitterly.
It turned out that after Zhou Xingyun woke up, he never saw Wu Jiwen because Tang Yuanying sent him out to catch game.
"Forget it, it's better than nothing, let's go back." Tang Yuanying took the mountain bird directly from Wu Jiewen's hand without saying thank you, and then said with a smile on his face: "I'm going to make soup for the third junior brother tonight.
Don't talk nonsense, you know?"
"Second Senior Sister, don't worry. You worked tirelessly to catch this game in the mountains in the rain to make soup for Third Senior Brother to replenish his body. I just took advantage of the rain to help pick some mushrooms."
"No! I also collected the mushrooms! Tonight I want to stew wild birds with mushrooms and feed them to the third junior brother with my own hands." Tang Yuanying said very willfully, making Wu Jiwen dumbfounded.
After all, when Tang Yuanying faced Zhou Xingyun, she was more gentle and innocent than a rabbit with its teeth pulled out. Not only did she not dare to show off her temper, she even flattered her when she was wronged, which was very different from the unreasonable and unreasonable Senior Sister Tang in front of her.
"..." Zhou Xingyun watched the two of them secretly. Seeing Tang Yuanying bullying Wu Jiewen willfully, he couldn't help but sigh that this was the fiancée he knew before.
Tang Yuanying is the jewel of Jianshu Villa and the precious daughter of the master of the Sword-making Sect. She has always been so unruly and willful.
However, since Tang Yuanying committed herself to Zhou Xingyun, she regarded him as Tiangang and completely restrained her temper. She did not even dare to speak loudly in front of Zhou Xingyun.
It is true that Tang Yuanying did not dare to speak loudly in front of Zhou Xingyun, but it does not mean that she did not dare to speak loudly in front of others. Now for a little woman like Tang Yuanying, except for Zhou Xingyun, no man in the world is worthy of her serious treatment.
So... without Zhou Xingyun seeing it, Tang Yuanying, as the second senior sister of Jianshu Villa, ordered Wu Jiewen to go up the mountain to capture game so that she could flatter Zhou Xingyun tonight.
After Zhou Xingyun listened to Tang Yuanying's speech, he couldn't help but silently apologize to Wu Jiewen. Then...he will sit back and wait for the beauty's kindness tonight.
Zhou Xingyun didn't show up to expose Tang Yuanying's 'conspiracy' because he didn't want to let down the girl's kindness. Although he felt a little wronged by Wu Jiwen,... he could just cook another day and make a delicious meal to reward him.
"Alas...the sky has no eyes." Qin Shou watched Tang Yuanying and Wu Jiwen go away, and could only sigh softly.
"Don't say I didn't teach you, you should just pretend not to see it at this time." Zhou Xingyun said matter-of-factly. Tang Yuanying had good intentions to please him. If he didn't appreciate it and exposed her behavior, he would not only suffer a loss but also lower their favorability.
It will also hurt Yuanying Meimei’s heart.
Therefore, he turned a blind eye and silently accepted Tang Yuanying's intention, and then found an opportunity to thank Wu Jiwen and treat Brother Jiwen to a delicious meal. Why not get the best of both worlds!
Zhou Xingyun said as he walked, and unknowingly he reached the top of the mountain that Mu Ya mentioned.
Zhou Xingyun was very disappointed when he saw Xuanyuan Chongwu. He originally thought that Xuanyuan Fengxue would follow the boy, but who knew, this guy actually ran to the top of the mountain alone and wandered around blindly...
"How are you feeling?"
Now that he was here, Zhou Xingyun simply stepped forward to say hello. However, when he approached Xuanyuan Chongwu, he immediately discovered that there was a grave in front of the boy...
"I feel terrible. If the chief is willing to let me kick my feet on the ground, maybe I can feel a little better." Xuanyuan Chongwu looked at the tomb with an expression as if dust has returned to dust and everything is empty, as if I have fallen into the earth.
"Qi Yuan's grave? Did you bury it?" There was no name engraved on the tombstone, but Zhou Xingyun saw the nine-ring knife in front of the grave.
"Chief, can I ask you a favor? My sister is resting alone in the women's barracks north of Chengchai. If you go find her now, you might get something unexpected." Xuanyuan Chongwu said casually.
"What unexpected gain?" Guo Heng asked shamelessly, is Miss Xuanyuan taking a bath in the barracks?
"For example, if I happen to catch you spying on my sister, then I can practice my skills and make the bad mood become pleasant." Xuanyuan Chongwu slowly turned around and looked at Zhou Xingyun with eyes that looked like a criminal: "This opportunity is rare.
Isn’t the chief planning to attack my sister when I’m feeling down?”
"I'm not that kind of person! My brother is in a bad mood, so we should help you, care about you, and enlighten you."
"Brother Yun, that's not what you said on the way here." Li Xiaofan asked naively: "Where are the dangers of adding insult to injury and taking advantage of others?"
"Shut up! Chongwu is my brother-in-law, how could I add insult to injury to him? Come on, come on, let's go back to Chengchai to meet Sister Xiaoqing for a drink." Zhou Xingyun quickly made a sly look, Xuanyuan Chongwu's look, to put it bluntly, he just wanted to
Find trouble.
"Brother Xuanyuan, there is one thing I don't understand very well. You have killed so many people on the battlefield, so you should be used to seeing life and death. You shouldn't just realize it now and sympathize with the dead enemy." Qin Shou looked at Qi Yuan's tombstone and for a moment
It is difficult to understand Xuanyuan Chongwu's style, because when he was ambushed by Baize Tiangong, this guy would kill with a knife in his hand as if it were a common occurrence.
In other words, people can't help themselves in the world. They live in an era where fighting and killing are common. Even Zhou Xingyun and others are used to bloodshed. Why would Xuanyuan Chongwu sympathize with the enemy who killed his brothers and bury them with his own hands?
Qi Yuan.
"What I buried with my own hands was not enemies, but emptiness. To put it simply, revenge cannot fill the hole in my heart. Are you satisfied with this answer?" Xuanyuan Chongwu answered bluntly,
"Chongwu, you'd better stop talking nonsense. I find that nonsense is the most suitable for you..." Zhou Xingyun expressed his unruly emotion. Qin Shou, Guo Heng, and Li Xiaofan all nodded in agreement: "Same as above! You should just talk nonsense."
"Then when will the chief plan to have sex with my sister? So that I, the younger brother, can catch her in bed and vent my terrible emotions."
"Ah!" What else could Zhou Xingyun say? He just spat out the water in the boy's pants. Who told him to talk nonsense?
The sun was about to set, and Zhou Xingyun and several animals returned to Chengchai. At this time, everyone had already prepared dinner and waited for them to come back to eat together.
During the meal, Zhou Xingyun deliberately wanted to stimulate Xuanyuan Chongwu, and took the initiative to sit next to Xuanyuan Fengxue. He took the trouble to pick up the food and stuffed food into Miss Xuanyuan's aloof mouth. Sometimes, as a prank, he used chopsticks to pick up the dishes so as not to mess them up.
Stirring makes Xuanyuan Fengxue shy and extremely delicate.
Later, Xuanyuan Chongwu winked directly at Li Xiaofan, and before Zhou Xingyun finished his meal, he forcibly dragged him outside to exchange feelings...
You can forgive the sins committed by God, but you can't live if you commit the sins yourself. Zhou Xingyun favored one and the other, only adding food to Xuanyuan Fengxue, so... Wei Suyao and other women decisively refused to save him, and watched Zhou Xingyun being taken away by the animals.
It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that Zhou Xingyun returned to the barracks weakly.
During dinner, Zhou Xingyun only cared about teasing Xuanyuan Fengxue and forgot to cook the rice. As a result, when he returned to the barracks, he was extremely hungry.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, when Zhou Xingyun needed consolation the most, Tang Yuanying served him a bowl of fragrant mushroom stew and showed his hospitality as tenderly as water.
Zhou Xingyun opened his mouth happily, and while enjoying the stew, he listened to Yuanying's charming voice saying that she had personally collected the wild game from the mountain this afternoon, and hoped that he would not waste it and drink more.
How should I put it? Even though Zhou Xingyun knew that Tang Yuanying was lying, he was still very comfortable in his heart. In the end, he doted on the innocent little woman while there was no one in the room.
At about 9:30 in the evening, the girls learned that Zhou Xingyun had returned to the barracks, so they naturally gathered in the barracks.
Rao Yue visually inspected Tang Yuanying, who was already asleep, and suddenly said: "Fox spirit."
"Zhiqian, Qiu Miao, when tomorrow do you plan to send troops to attack the capital city wall?" Zhou Xingyun took the initiative to change the subject, lest the girls find out about his cheating and embarrass him.
"We still have one step missing, and we need your help now." Han Qiumiao and others came to see Zhou Xingyun so late, not just to gather and rest, but to discuss important matters with him.
"How can you help?" Zhou Xingyun could roughly guess Han Qiumiao's intention of looking for him tonight.
After Xuanyuan Chongwu took Zhou Xingyun away with a few animals, Han Qiumiao summoned the deacons of various sects to discuss strategies for attacking the capital tomorrow.
Xu Zhiqian definitely told Han Qiumiao that among the rebels stationed at the capital city tower, there were undercover agents who surrendered to Zhou Xingyun, as well as a group of small officials from the Shangshe Bureau. They promised Zhou Xingyun yesterday that they were willing to summon servants, guards, and servants to assist the eldest princess in putting down the rebellion.
Han Qiumiao probably needs Zhou Xingyun to send a message to Fengyu and others of Shangshe Bureau, asking them to identify the right opportunity tomorrow and cooperate with them to retake the city tower.
