Chapter 266
"He is indeed in Yuancheng, if it weren't for his command, Yuancheng should have been taken by us by this time."
"What?" Chen Jia asked incredulously. "Do you mean the old monster left him?"
"Yes, yes." Jiang Youchun replied seriously, seeing that Sun Aoting was struggling to lift, he carried Cheng Hu directly on his back and motioned for Sun Aoting to go first. Seeing this, Sun Aoting went down the mountain first.
"How so? That old monster was so cruel, how could he let him go so easily? That old monster clearly killed all the servants in his house and took away his grandson Zunhao? Chen Jia couldn't figure it out.
"If so, I'm afraid that the man will use his grandson to blackmail him."
"But, what does the old monster want to do?" The old monster obviously only likes Lin Mufeng, saying that he wants Lin Mufeng to give birth to a little baby with him, and he will give the little baby the world in the future. Could it be that he is preparing the world for the so-called little baby now?
Dizzy, how do I study someone with a brain problem, what are my plans? Chen Jia shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
"Now that the war is at a stalemate, what are you going to do?" Jiang Youchun didn't dare to mention marrying Chen Jia again, the last time the two were so unhappy, and now he really recalls what the tone and expression should be when the two were brothers and sisters before every time he speaks.
"I want to go one step further by myself." Chen Jia didn't hide it either.
"Well, are you going back to the county lord's mansion?" Jiang Youchun's position is okay, he said that every word he remembers that he is now a brother, for fear of provoking Chen Jia's disgust.
"No, I'll go back to the old mansion in Changxian County." Chen Jia wanted to go to the stone house to practice, but she didn't want to be isolated from the world, she stayed for fifty days last time, but she didn't expect that she would not have time to save her eldest brother, and it also led to the tragic death of Hai Ling, such a tragedy, Chen Jia didn't want to come again.
"Then I'll send someone to inform you if there's anything going on."
"Yes."
"Has your kung fu improved a lot?"
"Yes."
"I'm afraid it's out of reach." Jiang Youchun smiled bitterly, the kung fu of the woman he liked was higher than his own. reached a height that he couldn't hope for, and if he wanted to catch up with her, he was afraid that he would have to work harder.
"It's just a coincidence, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. It's too early for me to get to that person, otherwise I wouldn't have given up Wu Kunpeng. ”
"Is that the bark-faced man?"
"Yes, he said that he has lived for more than 500 years, and today I am afraid that no one can be defeated, and I don't know if I can train to the point where I can fight him. But you have to work hard. ”
"Well, where is he from?"
"Wuji Country's is very good to Lin Mufeng. Andinghou, I have to step up my training after I go back, I'm just afraid that this war is still related to Wuji Country, if they start another war on the southern border, I'm afraid that Shenghe will be in danger. ”
"Okay, don't worry!" Jiang Youchun's heart was full of reluctance, but he was also a person with a sense of mission, and he couldn't leave the responsibility on his shoulders.
Equally. A strong sense of responsibility drives Chen Jia to practice, the old monster has taken control of Wuji's power, Wuji's emperor exists like a puppet, and now he has used his dignity to control Jin'an's Wu Kunpeng, if Chen Jia doesn't work hard, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will be at his mercy in the future.
Doesn't it say that with great power comes great responsibility?
Chen Jia never imagined that she would one day have to take on such a huge responsibility.
Hehe, perhaps, since the moment he entered the stone house, his fate has been out of control. Chen Jia sometimes regrets that he has wasted a lot of time over the years, and he has not been able to practice kung fu with all his strength over the years. Could it be a different situation now?
Fortunately, Chen Jia knows that as long as he wants to work hard, it is never too late, so he should go to the stone house to retreat now.
Cheng Hu took it as his duty to defeat Wu Kunpeng. Naturally, there was no longer the thought of dying, and the next day, Chen Jia said goodbye to everyone and took Ah Jiu and others to the old mansion in Changxian County.
Liuyun because of that exposure, Chen Jia let her be a personal maid, she no longer has to hide her head and shrink her tail to live, the three adobe tile houses of the old house are in disrepair and have been difficult to live in, fortunately, Chen Jia has money, Liuyun and Ah Jiu dotted, and soon a good one, a house that can be called a mansion in this mountain will be built, Chen Jia will also set up a mansion for the third uncle Cheng Shi's family, after all, it is his own uncle, why not take care of it? In front of the family and the country, what is the gain or loss of a small favor?
Ah Jiu and Liuyun live in the house every day, and the people who want to see Chen Jia are blocked one by one, Chen Jia himself practices in the stone house every day, and Liuyun regularly delivers meals to Chen Jia every day, in order not to make people suspect anything, Chen Jia directly found Li Zheng to buy the mountain and the old monk bag behind the back mountain, and arranged people to plant ornamental seedlings on the mountain, develop and develop forestry, as for himself, concentrate on practicing the exercises.
I don't hear anything outside the window, and I only practice internal skills.
Chen Jiale is free, but he doesn't know what is going on outside?
With Chen Jia's request, in addition to matters that endanger the lives of his family, including state affairs, don't disturb his practice, Liuyun filtered every message secretly sent by members of the Feifeng Organization, although many messages were so big for Liuyun that they could shock the world and cry ghosts and gods, but when combined with what Chen Jia said, he didn't dare to tell it, which was really miserable.
……
It is said that Cheng Hu and Jiang Youchun and Zhao Zilin are guarding Fancheng, Chu Xiuyu is also a lot more relieved, although Yuancheng has gained and lost, but after all, 100,000 Jin'an troops were killed in this battle of Fancheng, although his side has a loss of 30,000 military horses, but after all, it is much better than the other party.
Chu Xiuyu was happy for a while, and he did not pursue Cheng Hu's dereliction of duty, and only asked him to make meritorious contributions to the border of the prosperous city.
As for Jiang Youchun, he was transferred back to Rongcheng, leaving only 50,000 military horses for Sun Aoting, Yang Mingyuan's team was also transferred back to Changcheng, and Jiang Wenhan's team left 30,000 people, only 20,000 were transferred back. This move is also to give Sun Aoting the strength to fight back, and Chu Xiuyu is ready to fight a protracted battle this time.
Zhao Zilin was also named a second-class general because of his outstanding military achievements, and the second elder of the Zhao family was also given an edict, Zhao Zilin called himself an orphan to the outside world in order to avoid the two couples from revealing his stuffing, and the two husbands and wives were their adoptive parents. said that he was not used to living in the city, but he still lived in the mountains, for fear of causing trouble to Zhao Zilin, and saw that Zhao Zilin often sent people to give gifts and silver. regarded the old couple as filial piety to their parents, and the two of them put their hearts at ease and took care of Xiaoju's grave more carefully, for fear of neglecting this girl who had never met.
While recruiting troops, Fancheng pocketed the two small cities on the periphery of Yuancheng. Zhao Zilin often sent people to Yuancheng to make some trouble. The Sima family had just taken over Yuancheng, and they were often in a hurry. And Wu Kunpeng also took advantage of this respite from the suspension of the war and returned to Kyoto in Jin'an.
It's just that Wu Kunpeng never thought that he had only been gone for a few months, and Yelu Anrong would be able to easily accept the fate of his favorite concubine's father Xiangguo, and fight against him, and the first time he went to the court to see a Wu Shaobao wearing exactly the same court clothes as himself, he almost thought that he was dazzled.
Seeing that some of the courtiers who were originally obedient to him looked at him with dodgy eyes, his heart sank suddenly.
This Wu Shaobao is said to have later become a Taibao, and he was also an official residence in Shenghe. Why did he abandon his family and children and run to Jin'an to seek refuge with a little concubine?
"Wu Xiangguo has worked hard, although I haven't been able to win Shenghe for the time being, but I still have to reward Wu Xiangguo, make Wu Xiangguo the left minister, and enjoy the treatment of an earl!" As soon as Yelu Anrong came to court, he immediately talked about the two kingdoms he had set up.
"Thank you for your grace." Wu Kunpeng had to kneel down and thank him.
"Wu Xiangguo is also old, I have found a helper for Wu Xiangguo, this is our right minister, Wu Xiangguo, in the future, some simple things will be helped by Wu Xiangguo, and Wu Xiangguo usually doesn't have to work so hard."
"The old minister, thank the emperor for his understanding." Wu Kunpeng looked grateful.
The courtiers below each have a ghost in their hearts. This Wu Kunpeng went to Yuancheng, and it is said that even his only grandson is gone, and Wu Xiangguo's daughter is the emperor's favorite concubine, and the two are compared. Isn't it clear who is light and who is heavy?
The court said something trivial and important, and Yelu Anrong let the court disperse. Alas, he played too much at night, and he is now sleepy!
When Wu Kunpeng went down to the court, he walked out with a cold face, and all the courtiers surrounded Wu Xiangguo to congratulate, but Wu Xiangguo suddenly left everyone and walked towards Wu Kunpeng.
"Wu Xiangguo, please stay."
"How. Does Wu Xiangguo have any advice? Wu Kunpeng pursed his lips and asked with disdain.
"Haha, how dare you advise, it's just that I want to have a private chat with Wu Xiangguo. Why don't you go to my house and sit down? Wu Xiangguo was polite, and he didn't seem to see Wu Kunpeng's displeasure at all.
"The old man still has something to do, so he won't go. If you have something to say, just say it here. Wu Kunpeng mercilessly refused. He knew this Wu Shaobao, and he also knew that he had some credit for his fall in Shenghe back then, but now he is Wu Kunpeng, and it is not good to have a seizure.
"The matter of the historian is really embarrassing, I just sighed, I just want to catch up with Wu Xiangguo. Why, Wu Xiangguo refuses to give a face? Wu Xiangguo looked around, there were many courtiers watching the excitement, he was not easy to pick out, so he could only mention the historian in a whisper. Sure enough, Wu Kunpeng's attitude immediately changed when he heard it.
"In that case, Wu Xiangguo will talk about it in the lower mansion."
"Okay, Wu is better than being respectful."
After the two looked at each other, they laughed and laughed, and went out of the palace gate one after the other, which made the courtiers behind them talk about it.
"What does this mean? Isn't the relationship between the two pretty good? ”
"Hehe, didn't you see it? It's clear that Wu Kunpeng doesn't want to talk to Youxiang, but there's no way, let's do our own thing and let them fight. ”
"That's fine. Ha ha! ”
……
"Wu arrived for the first time, and there was a small gift for Wu Xiangguo." Wu Xiangguo took out a jade jade cup from his arms and handed it to Wu Kunpeng, the cup was obviously commonly used, and it was one of the cups that the old man of the Shi family used to regard as treasures and was reluctant to use.
Wu Kunpeng saw that his face had changed color, and with cold eyes, he took the cup and put it on the table, and thanked him.
Although the Ming people don't say dark words, Wu Xiangguo also knows that only if that layer of paper is not pierced can he have scruples, and if it is really pierced, it will not be interesting.
"Why did Wu Xiangguo fight and stop fighting?"
"What? If Wu Xiangguo is dissatisfied, if he wants to fight, he can apply to the emperor to go on the expedition. Wu Kunpeng still couldn't calm down the unhappiness in his heart, and he was also carrying a gun and a stick when he spoke.
"I am the material for the war, but Wu has a good personal relationship with Lin Xiangguo of Wuji Kingdom, if Wu Xiangguo wants to continue fighting, Wu can help Wu Xiangguo." Wu Xiangguo found a seat and sat down, looking like his own home, Wu Kunpeng frowned, but didn't say anything.
"As long as Wuji and Jin'an are caught between Shenghe, he Chu Xiuyu is too busy to take care of this end, can we still win?"
"Since that's the case, then you might as well try, as long as Wuji Country sends troops, my side will immediately send people to fight Fancheng." Wu Kunpeng doesn't believe that Wu Shao has this ability, but if it really happens, it may not be a good thing......
"Okay, Wu will go back and repair the book for Lin Mufeng."
"Okay, you can go."
Wu Kunpeng didn't want to keep it, Lin Mufeng was his grandson, he was originally ready to let him help, but he felt that it was not the right time, if Wu Shaobao went to persuade him, it would be easy to worry.
It's just that if you want to get the power of Jin'an now, you have to get rid of the Wu family. Isn't he just relying on his daughter? As long as he lets people share his daughter's favor, or directly except for his daughter, what other backing can he have.
……
There are two Xiangguo in Jin'an here, and Lin Mufeng is not having a good time in Wuji over there, I don't know who leaked the news, saying that the old monster has left Wuji. The emperor didn't react, only asked Lin Mufeng why he had to sign a peace contract with Shenghe, after Lin Mufeng explained the reason, the emperor didn't agree to sign the contract, no matter what Lin Mufeng said, the emperor just didn't agree, which made Lin Mufeng very unhappy.
If you can't sign a contract, you can't marry Chen Jia smoothly, so what's the point of doing all this by yourself?
Mu Feng was depressed in his Xiangguo Mansion, but he saw the old monster with a two- or three-year-old child appear in front of him, the child looked very cute, with a fleshy little face, big eyes watery with tears, and a small mouth that was deflated, as if he could cry at any time.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Ha ha...... Zunhao, this is your brother, call him brother. ”
"Brother." I don't know how the old monster scared Zunhao, the poor child stared at the watery eyes, vigilantly looking at everything around him, but he still obediently stepped forward and called Brother Lin Mufeng.
"What's your name?" Lin Mufeng squatted down and pulled Zunhao and asked.
"Wu Zunhao." Zunhao replied obediently, probably because he thought Lin Mufeng looked very kind, and he held Lin Mufeng's hand and refused to let go.
"Wu Zunhao? Old monster, what's going on? Lin Mufeng frowned, when he first saw this child, he always had a sense of déjà vu, but he really didn't have a relative surnamed Wu.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Haha...... you are my little baby, he is your brother, my little baby. The old monster was really smug with a smile, the old face like the bark of a dead tree was shaking with laughter, and the amber cloudy eyes also flashed with a hint of light, which made Lin Mufeng look even more strange.
