Chapter 455: The Eve of the Great War

And wait until the deployment of troops in the capital division, as well as the situation of the Imperial City Forbidden Palace, and wait for these major events to be returned.

Immediately, Su Qi couldn't help but bow his hand again, and then he first glanced at Bai Chu, and then said with a sad expression:

"Master, although the hidden guards have lost a lot of manpower, there are still more than 400 people left. However, the personal guards led by Bai Chu, because they are your personal soldiers, are responsible for your safety on weekdays, so they all stay in the Rui Wang's Mansion. The five hundred brothers of the guards were all good, and in order to cover us and later Princess Shen and others evacuated, they all died in the confrontation with the rebels. ”

When he heard that the pro-guard team was wiped out, leaving only Bai Chu alone.

Xiao Jinxuan's mind couldn't help but emerge, those quite familiar faces.

Holding back the discomfort in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but look at Bai Chu, who was obviously a little red in her eyes, but standing there holding on, she couldn't help but immediately say:

"Bai Chu, I know that those who died in battle were all your good brothers who got along day and night, and my life can be said to be earned by them who were not afraid of life and death, and fought loyally and bravely to kill the enemy. So the pain doesn't change anything, and you immediately compile a list of the families of all the guards. When the rebels are over, I will give a pension of 500 taels to each family, and my Xiao Jinxuan will take care of all the guards for their families. ”

As soon as he heard Xiao Jinxuan's words, not only did Bai Chu immediately kneel on one knee and thank the other party for the grace of those dead guards.

It was Niu Jing and the others in the tent, including Xiao Jinxuan's cousin Xiao Yijun, whose eyes widened to varying degrees, and their mouths were constantly gasping for cold air.

After all, regular soldiers like them who served for the imperial court had a pension of only twenty taels for ordinary soldiers who died in battle, and those with positions ranged from fifty taels to one hundred taels.

But seeing that Xiao Jinxuan actually opened his mouth to give five hundred relatives and guards who died in battle, and five hundred taels of pensions to each person's family, he saw that the other party had the elite in his hands and could not be underestimated Niu Jing and other generals.

This time, I was shocked by Xiao Jinxuan's wealth and financial resources again.

thought that the identity of the other party was just the concubine of the Shuai Mansion, even if she later became the county lord, and now she has the identity of a concubine of the Rui Wangfu.

But casually opening her mouth can take out 250,000 taels of silver, Xiao Jinxuan is simply more wealthy than those ordinary nobles.

As soon as he saw the generals in the tent, with a stunned look, Zhou Xianyu, who was in the first place, couldn't help but glance at everyone coldly, and then said with a smile:

"Don't embarrass the master in front of Jinxuan, it's okay, it's as if this king usually harshly treats you. Today, taking advantage of this opportunity, I, Zhou Xianyu, also made a statement. We will inevitably fight back, and all the brothers who go with me on the expedition will be paid ten times the amount stipulated by the imperial court in the event of a death in battle. Niu Jing, Yi Jun, and Li Liang and others can inform your soldiers of this king's decision in a while. This time, this king will take you to kill the rebels and protect my Great Zhou! ”

In fact, these generals and soldiers have long put their lives and deaths out of the way when they choose to fill the army, so that the only thing they can't let go of is their parents, wives and children at home.

In fact, now in the Beijing military camp, everyone knows that the city wall of the Beijing division is stable, and the Xue family is well prepared, and it will inevitably be a vicious battle next.

And now that Zhou Xianyu has increased his pension tenfold, the last bit of worry in the hearts of the soldiers is gone.

This soldier was originally to protect his family and defend the country, and immediately the morale of everyone in the tent was immediately mobilized, and everyone was vying to be the vanguard officer who went out to fight, vowing to kill all the rebels who plotted against him.

And after Zhou Xianyu calmed everyone down, Su Qi, who was on the side, suddenly nodded like a hidden guard behind him.

Immediately, two hidden guards came out of the tent, and after a while, a woman with her head wrapped in a black gauze walked in.

And even if she didn't see the woman's face clearly, but after just glancing at the other party's figure, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes immediately lit up and said:

"Su Qi Baichu, you are really another meritorious service. I didn't expect that in such a chaotic situation in Jingshi, you would be able to bring Xiao Jinyu back. Remember to guard it strictly, with her in our hands, Ji Lingfeng, who was valued by Prince Tai, his life and death will be in our hands, and it will be of great use at critical moments. ”

And with this kung fu, I saw that the woman's hood was also taken off, and Xiao Jinxuan did not admit her mistake, there is no doubt that the other party is indeed Xiao Jinyu.

Seeing this scene, he also sat in the camp tent, because Xiao Jinxuan drove Mrs. Xiao to Guanyin Courtyard before, and Xiao Yijun, who had a conflict with the other party, immediately stood up

And he came to Xiao Jinyu's approach in a few steps, and stretched out his hand to protect this cousin who grew up together in the Shuai Mansion since childhood.

However, before his hand touched Xiao Jinyu who was in a coma, he was directly stopped by Su Qi.

Immediately, Xiao Yijun couldn't help but look at Xiao Jinxuan angrily and angrily, and pointed at the other party and scolded angrily:

"Cousin Jinxuan, why don't you let Jinyu go until now. It's not been a day or two since you've imprisoned her, and it's time for the big grudge to pass. My grandmother was kicked out of the Shuai Mansion by you, and my mother was also angry with you for a while, and now you have to use Jinyu's cousin as a bargaining chip to deal with Ji Lingfeng. She is your own sister, and if you lose your conscience, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to live in peace. ”

Su Qi, who was personally responsible for investigating the mystery of Xiao Jinxuan's life experience, knew very well that his master was the Beirong royal family at all, and he had nothing to do with the Xiao family of the Shuai Mansion.

Therefore, seeing that Xiao Yijun actually talked about family affection again, thinking of Xiao Jinxuan's previous suffering in the Shuai Mansion, Su Qi couldn't help but sneer and said:

"Xiao Qianhu, you'd better not stare at my master like this, otherwise I, Su Qi, will be unkind to you. What's more, this Xiao Jinyu may not know that my county lord infiltrated the Rui Wang's Mansion and took people away at any cost in order to prevent Ji Lingfeng and others. So I used a trick, on the surface, everyone thought that Xiao Jinyu was in the palace, but in fact, she was secretly taken back to the Forsythia courtyard of the Shuai Mansion, and was guarded by my hidden guards. The ridiculous person is in your Xiao family's mansion, you Xiao Yijun has no ability to find out, and now what face do you have to rob people here is really ridiculous. ”

Before Su Qi was reused by Xiao Jinxuan, he was a little beggar mixed in the three sects and nine streams, don't look at his weak appearance on weekdays, in fact, his mouth is very powerful.

Xiao Yijun, who was red-faced and red-eared when questioned, immediately wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Jinxuan's words one step ahead.

"Cousin Yi Jun, now that the war is imminent, you are a man in the Shuai Mansion and should put the affairs of your family and country first. It's going to pull the back house into the right and wrong, and honestly, I'm really disappointed in you. Moreover, Ji Lingfeng is Zhou Xiantai's right-hand man, but Xiao Jinyu's lovesick Gu can just contain the other party. In order for the turmoil in the Great Zhou to pass, too many people have died, can everyone else be sacrificed, but the people of your Xiao family can't be hurt in the slightest, Xiao Yijun, don't you think you're making trouble now. ”

The generals who were originally in the military camp with Xiao Yijun all day long, seeing that the other party had a dispute with Su Qi, their hearts were still subtly towards their brothers.

But after hearing Xiao Jinxuan's words that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and that people couldn't find fault with it.

Immediately, several generals who wanted to stand up and help Xiao Yijun and plead for Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but stop this idea.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who was watching this, still looked at Xiao Yijun without avoiding it, and then continued in a calm tone:

"Xiao Yijun, I and the Shuai Mansion can indeed be said to have broken off now, and what you said is right, I really can't wait for Xiao Jinyu's life. And I haven't killed her until now, not because I don't dare to do it, but because she still has the value of use. At least in the face of the overall situation, I can put aside personal grievances and calmly start from the overall situation. I hope that even if you hate me to the core, all the rights and wrongs will wait until this war to exterminate the rebels is over. Xiao Yijun, you are a descendant of the Shuai Mansion, don't be indecisive at this critical moment and discredit your ancestors. ”

Now that the Xue family has openly rebelled, Xiao Jinxuan does not need to pretend to be the daughter of the Shuai Mansion to help Zhou Xianrui stabilize his position and maintain Nasi and the Xiao family.

Therefore, in her current words, she has drawn a clear line with the Shuai Mansion.

In fact, it's no wonder that when she was driven to the family temple and witnessed the people around her dying one by one, she didn't think about forgiving the Xiao family for everything they did to her.

And when it comes to Xiao Yijun, don't look at him just now, he is really aggressive, but there is one thing that this military general is better than the minister, that is, he is not pretentious, and he is right and wrong.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was reasonable, and realizing that he was indeed wrong, Xiao Yijun, not only disappeared immediately, but also said apologetically:

"Cousin Jinxuan, I was reckless for my brother just now. Indeed, the descendants of my Xiao family, whether male or female, have nothing that cannot be sacrificed when the court is in danger. Even if I can hear that you don't want to recognize our dear family anymore, you can rest assured that your brother will not have any mustard intentions, and he will definitely follow the prince to fight the enemy. ”

It can be seen that both the pre-war mobilization and deployment and the enemy's troop distribution have now been analyzed and discussed.

Seeing that there was no objection in the tent, Zhou Xianyu immediately slapped the table and stood up, and then said with a serious expression:

"Now that what should be said has been made clear, the king of Ming Japan will take you back to Beijing. Inform the cooks, kill cattle and sheep, and today our brothers in the whole camp will gather together for a lively meal. After all, I don't know how many brothers will turn into military spirits after this time, but this is our duty as soldiers, and this king will definitely advance and retreat with you.

The reason why the Beijing military camp is extremely united and only listened to Zhou Xianyu's dispatch alone may not even be able to mobilize the imperial court.

The most important reason is that in every battle, Zhou Xianyu has always charged into battle with all the soldiers, and he is the most brave and good at fighting.

Therefore, whether Zhou Xianyu is the name of the king of war or the irreplaceable prestige in the Beijing military camp, he has fought in countless battles large and small.

And now, even if it is known that there are no less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the Beijing rebels, the morale of the Beijing military camp is still high.

Because they all firmly believe that as long as the commander is Zhou Xianyu, then they are invincible tigers and wolves, and any opponent will be torn apart by them!
