Chapter 51: Qin Niang
Nangong Yufeng took them back to the camp, Wang Shaoyan was placed in Nangong Yufeng's military tent, Xi Cui was inconvenient to change back into women's clothes, so she could only continue to pretend to be Wang Shaoyan's servant and stay in the military tent with him.

Xi Liang didn't know where to get the news of Xi Cui's coming, so he hurriedly ran to find Xi Cui, and when he came in, he saw that Wang Shaoyan had forgotten how to salute, gasping for breath, and his forehead and face were full of sweat from running too quickly. Seeing Xi Cui, Xi Cui smiled very happily, "Xi Cui, I don't believe you when the prince says you're here!" I didn't expect it to be true! Are you here to find our young master? The young master shouldn't have known that you were coming, he was only transferred to another place a few days ago, our young master is now General Sun's most powerful subordinate, and he was promoted with me, and now he is already a deputy general! Xi Cui, how long can you stay? The young master will not be able to come back in half a month at the earliest, can you wait until then? If the young master knows that you are here, he will be very happy! You ......"
Listening to his chatter, Xi Cui hurriedly handed him a bowl of water and quipped, "I'm not going to disappear right away, you can rest and talk slowly...... If the young master sees you like this, let alone the deputy general, the young master of the little general will also cut it for you! Where does the frizzy have the appearance of a general! ”
Xi Liang grinned, "Xi Cui, you are still like that, you can't find a mistake in what you say and do." Hearing you say that, I really believe that it is indeed you in front of me! He took a sip of water, wiped his mouth with his sleeve casually, and continued, "You see, I haven't seen my relatives for too long, and I'm so excited." You don't know that when the young master is fine, he always likes to sing songs with Qin Niang, and he doesn't talk to me much, and I haven't even had a close person to talk to when I've been here for months. Since the young master met the person named Qin Niang, he almost doesn't like to deal with others......"
Qin Niang! It's supposed to be a woman, right? Why can there still be women in the barracks? Xi Cui felt a pinprick pain in his chest, and thought that his position in Xi Yunjian's heart was very important, but it turned out that he was simply making himself amorous. When she was busy intriguing with others for the sake of Yun Ting and him, she was busy intriguing with others, but the person she thought she could entrust for life had already had another confidante to accompany her. On the one hand, the golden iron horse expands the territory, and on the other hand, the pink beauty nephrite is in the arms, what a pleasant scenery!
Only then did Xi Liang know that he had said the wrong thing. Knowing the existence of Qin Niang, Xi Cui will definitely be unhappy. Although he didn't know why the young master treated Qin Niang so kindly, he clearly understood that the young master's heart was most concerned about Xi Cui.
When Nangong Yufeng came in, Xi Liang was talking about Qin Niang, his face changed instantly, and he raised his leg and gave Xi Liang a kick, "When did you kid change so much!" Get out! ”
Xi Liang hurriedly put down the bowl and ran out, knowing that he had caused a big disaster, Xi Liang felt that he should find a way to make up for this mistake. So he quietly returned to his tent, found the two subordinates who were usually closest to him, and muttered a few words to them, and the two of them immediately ran out.
Wang Shaoyan was also shocked when he heard the name Qin Niang, Xi Yunjian was not that kind of person at all! He didn't believe it! Looking at Nangong Yufeng's appearance, he should have known, so he asked, "Yufeng, who is this Qinniang?" ”
Nangong Yufeng wanted to expose this matter, but Wang Shaoyan had already asked him and couldn't avoid it, so he had to avoid Xi Cui's gaze, sat on the side, and said in a low voice, "It's just a military prostitute, it is said that after being a famous family before, she was implicated by her family and was confiscated into the army, and at first she refused to obey and killed a soldier who wanted to force her, and later committed suicide and was saved by Yun Jian." Since then, Yun Jian has taken her with him, and when Yun Jian is there, she will serve her, and she will stay in Yun Jian's camp when Yun Jian goes out. ”
"Have you seen her?" Xi Cui looked at Nangong Yufeng, and couldn't see any expression from her current appearance. has experienced too much during this time, Xi Cui has already learned that joy and anger are invisible, even if she is sad and wants to cry now, it will not be easy for people to see. I don't know why, she always wants to arm herself very strong in front of Nangong Yufeng, and even she herself didn't notice this habit.
Seeing her calm face, Nangong Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief, Xi Liang said that Xi Yunjian had seen Xi Cui before he set out on the expedition, and it seemed that Xi Cui had promised and was willing to wait for him. At that time, he saw Xi Yunjian's face full of joy, and felt that Xi Cui would definitely have a good life if he could follow Xi Yunjian, although he was a little sad at the time, he still decided to bless them. As for this Qin Niang, Nangong Yufeng didn't think that he could change anything, he was just a military prostitute, if Xi Yunjian really became the identity of the general Xi Cui, he would definitely not be able to become the wife he was marrying, and then she would have to face more than just Qin Niang. As long as Xi Cui is not jealous, she can follow Xi Yunjian to live a stable life.
He thought that Xi Cui was the same as he thought, but he didn't know that Xi Cui had already begun to make other plans for his future. Fortunately, Xi Yunjian who they said at the beginning would not force her, and when he became famous, Xi Cui could find an excuse to continue to stay by Yun Ting's side, An An worked for three years, and after three years, he took the deed of sale from his wife to live the life he wanted.
Xi Cui didn't really feel very angry about the fact that Xi Yunjian had a new love, and even if he did, he was more disappointed. The disappointment of a man who has filled his expectations with all his heart has become a betrayer.
"I want to go out for a walk." Xi Cui said.
Wang Shaoyan coughed lightly, "It's okay, anyway, when General Sun summons us, we should go over, you will inevitably be bored alone, otherwise ask Duan San to take you around and have a look." ”
Before the words fell, someone informed General Sun that they wanted to go over, and Xi Cui came out with them and found Duan San who was guarding outside.
Duan San had already heard what Xi Liang said, and the woman named Qin Niang had already appeared when he left, but Xi Yunjian didn't always look for that woman as Xi Liang said. Is this Xi Liang talking nonsense?
Thinking of asking Xi Liang to understand, he took Xi Cui to Xi Liang's side, Xi Yunjian's tent was next to Xi Liang's, Duan San had been here before, so he naturally knew a lot of people. He took Xi Cui to approach Xi Yunjian's tent, and naturally no one would stop him, and when he walked to him, he heard a quarrel inside. There was a faint sound of a woman crying, and a man talking loudly, which sounded like Xi Liang.
Duan San can't wait to beat this kid, what are you kid doing? Is it clearly causing chaos for Xi Yunjian?
Xi Cui probably guessed where this was, and looked up and asked Duan San, "It seems to be Xi Liang inside!" Third brother, don't you listen? ”
Duan San nodded reluctantly, gritted his teeth and scolded. "Xi Liang, you rabbit cub, what are you doing in the general's tent!"
As soon as Xi Liang heard it, he knew that Duan San was coming, and whispered a few more words, so he hurriedly ran out, and when he saw that Xi Cui was also there, he suddenly didn't know where to put his hands. "Third brother, why did you bring Xi Cui here?" I'm about to get Qin Niang out and explain to Xi Cui again. It's better that you brought someone directly and arrested him.
Xiao Yu's appearance at the right time revealed Xi Liang's thoughts and thoughts. Xi Cui smiled, Xiao Yu didn't show up all the way, why did he come out to stir up trouble at this time?
"Xi Liang, this shouldn't be the young master's tent, right? The woman inside is a girl? The relaxation on Xi Cui's face made Xi Liang's scalp tingle for a while.
Duan San ignored him, escorted Xi Cui and entered the camp.
The furnishings inside are simple, with a simple bed on the left and a thick layer of leather on top. There was a low table in the middle, and around the low table were four or five squares, which were supposed to be used for sitting. On the right side was a screen, behind which it was supposed to be a bathing place, and next to the screen hung a map of the march, which was full of circles and forks.
Although the weather in the southwest is warmer than in the capital, it is also the cold spring in February, but the woman is wearing a thin water-green low-cut brocade skirt with a layer of smoke veil, and her beautiful figure adds a bit of hazy beauty. Look at her face again, her eyes are like peach blossoms, and her head is full of green silk and she is casually pinned with a white jade hairpin with exquisite workmanship.
Xi Cui didn't understand, this Qin Niang was beautiful, but Xi Yunjian had not seen her like this in the capital, why would she be tempted by her?
Xi Liang glanced at Qin Niang, crossed her and picked up a box on the low table, and was about to come over when he suddenly remembered something, turned around and bent over, and took off the white jade hairpin on Qin Niang's head, without even looking at Qin Niang's long hair that was instantly scattered. walked straight to Xi Cui, opened the box, put the hairpin in the box, and handed it to Xi Cui, "The things in this are all prepared for you by the young master, and this woman always secretly uses them when the young master is away!" I asked her just now, but she dared not give it. ”
Xi Cui glanced at the box, which was full of ornaments for women, and remembered the pearl hairpin that Xi Yunjian had given him before, and couldn't help but smile, "The young master seems to like collecting these things very much." ”
"You're Xi Cui?" Qin Niang stood up suddenly, found a red rope out of nowhere to pull up her long hair at will, came to Xi Cui's side, and looked Xi Cui up and down, "It's not too late yet, right?" Look at this body is a child who hasn't grown up yet, how do you serve the general like this? Don't say it, now you can't see men and women when you wear men's clothes and don't look carefully, where do you look like me, it's a real woman! Only a woman like me can accompany the general and relieve the general's loneliness, but what about you? What can you do for the generals? What do you want to do now that you've found this place? Accusing the general of disloyalty, forcing the general to drive me away? Do you deserve it? I've heard that you're just a slave now, and if the general misses the old days, he might be able to give you the title of a concubine, otherwise the general will completely dump you, and it's just a matter of words. I'm afraid you'll be inferior to me by then, right? I'm also a general servant......"
Xi Cui closed the lid and listened to her, then looked into her eyes and smiled, "I didn't say anything, you just said everything that should be said and what should not be said, it seems that you have seen more thoroughly than me, and you have seen far-reaching, what else do I have to say in front of you?" ”
"What do you mean?" Qin Niang's face was not good, and she seemed to be a little annoyed.
Xi Cui shook his head, "I am now an innocent maid, let's just say that I have been looked at differently by the eldest young master of the Hou Mansion, whether he is a general or a nobody, it is unknown whether I will follow him." Even if I get dumped, it won't have much impact on my life, because I'm not his maid. And you are different, who knows when he will get tired of you and what will you do then? Even if he has been protecting you, who can guarantee that he will take you wherever he goes when this war is over? What will you do then? Xi Cui watched her face become whiter and paler, until there was no trace of blood, and then sighed, "Originally, you are a more pitiful person than me, I don't want to hurt you so bluntly, but you are not a pathetic person worthy of sympathy, how can I not satisfy you?" ”
"You...... How could you be like this? Qin Niang looked at Xi Liang, and then at Xi Cui, "Xi Liang, didn't you say that Xi Cui was gentle and kind, and never argued with others?" So who is this sharp-toothed woman now? Or what you see is simply what this woman is disguised in, and you and your master have been deceived! ”
Xi Liang was indeed taken aback, Xi Cui was not like this in the past. She always talks to people with a docile and harmless face, even looking at her back, people will feel very relaxed. But those hurtful words that didn't see blood clearly came out of Xi Cui's mouth, isn't it just that the young master has changed these days, but even Xi Cui has also changed? What kind of world is this, and why are people always changing so incredible?
Duan San was very satisfied with Xi Cui like this, he watched all the way how Xi Cui became what she is now, if she wasn't like this, how could she take on that responsibility?
Xi Cui felt the comfort and encouragement from Duan San's hand on his shoulder, and smiled at him, "Third brother, don't worry, she is not qualified to let me bother yet." After speaking, he returned the box to Xi Liang, "Whether the things in this are for me or not is not up to you, if he can see each other one day, it will be mine or mine." ”
Then he left the camp without looking back, and Xi Cui, who was standing on the side, didn't even look at it again. A poor woman who wants to grieve with others even though she has reached the end of her rope does not deserve or need pity.
Xi Liang didn't turn around until Xi Cui went out for a long time, glanced at Qin Niang, and sighed softly, "See, right?" You're no match for that little girl at all! That's what our generals like! It's useless to be a woman just pretty! ”
After saying that, he ran away with the box in his arms.
Leaving Qin Niang alone to guard the empty tent.
She couldn't understand why her little maid could comment on her life so confidently, obviously they lived humbly and hopelessly. How could she not know what her future fate would be? But she was unwilling, obviously Xi Yunjian was an opportunity to save herself, but Xi Yunjian never promised herself, no one knew that he left her but never touched her. All along, the most he did with her was her singing, he was in a daze, and occasionally he would smile and say the name of Cui......
Leaving Xi Yunjian's tent, Xi Cui followed Duan San around, and did not go back until he was tired.
There was no medical woman in the barracks, and Xi Cui couldn't change the medicine by herself, Nangong Yufeng wanted to find Qin Niang to change Xi Cui's medicine, but when he looked for it, Qin Niang had already committed suicide in Xi Yunjian's camp tent. Because no one dared to go in there except Xi Liang, no one knew what had happened since Xi Liang left. No one even knows when Qin Niang died.
After Nangong Yufeng knew that Xi Cui had been there, he thought that Xi Cui had forced Qin Niang to death, and rushed in with a gloomy face, Wang Shaoyan and General Sun were still talking, and they were not in the account at the moment, Duan San also went out to give her Zhang Luo food because Xi Cui was going to change the medicine. When Nangong Yufeng came in angrily, there was only Xi Cui in the account.
Xi Cui had just smeared medicine on the wound with the bronze mirror, and before his clothes were tidied up, he was pulled up and almost didn't tear off his arm. Fortunately, he didn't scratch the right shoulder, otherwise the wound would bleed if it was not done well, and the medicine would be in vain.
"Have you ever been to Qin Niang?" Nangong Yufeng's tone seemed to be about to eat people, "Do you know that Qin Niang is dead?" What exactly did you do? He didn't know why he was angry, it seemed that Qin Niang's life and death had little to do with him, but as long as he thought that her death was related to Xi Cui, he couldn't control his emotions.
Why did Xi Cui do this? Does she really care about Xi Yunjian that much? Do you care enough to tolerate other people? even did not hesitate to force a poor woman to death! If this is the case, then how can she live with Xi Yunjian? Xi Yunjian's identity can't be only her as a woman, does she want to kill one by one?
Instinctively, he didn't want Xi Cui to become such a woman, that kind of woman was the one he hated the most in his life.
Xi Cui broke away from his hands, sorted out his clothes, and spoke slowly, "Qin Niang is dead?" How did he die? ”
"Kill yourself!" Nangong Yufeng almost gritted his teeth and said this, Xi Cui's careless appearance made him feel cold, as if it was not a person who died at all, but a cat or a dog. Although he also kills people on the battlefield, things are different now, he is a man, on the battlefield, either you die or I live, and he kills people that is his mission. But what about Xi Cui? A living person died because of her, and she was so indifferent!
"Kill yourself...... Xi Cui pursed her lips and shook her head, "I'm in a hurry, maybe I still have a chance to live." ”
"Don't you feel a little guilty?" Nangong Yufeng finally couldn't help it.
"Guilt? Why should I feel guilty? Xi Cui looked at him with a funny face, "I saw her, but it wasn't my will, I just went to see the young master's tent." It was she who was aggressive and made things difficult for me everywhere, and I only told the truth twice, not even a single heavy word. And then I left, and now she's suddenly killed herself, and you're asking me so much what do you want me to do? (To be continued.) )
