Chapter 071: Don't be afraid, my sister protects you
"Don't go out yet! Wait for me! ”
When the people present heard this, they had the heart to push her to the ground and beat her wildly.
This person is here to torture them, right?
Among these people, Qi Lei's opinion was the largest, and almost as soon as she said that, he was angry, pointed in the direction above his head, and said gloomily: "Young Lady Yuan, you also heard it just now, someone is urinating on the top of our heads." I finally walked to the exit, and you didn't let people out? I'm sorry, but you want to stay in this dirty, smelly place, so stay there. Forgive me for not being able to accompany you! ”
Only one person could pass through this dirty tunnel, and if he wanted to go to the exit, he could only wait for the person in front of him to take the first step.
But Du Huaishao was just in front of him, and he didn't mean to move, he was annoyed, and he raised his hand to push Du Huaishao's back.
But he didn't want to, Du Huaishao grabbed his hand directly, and in the filth, he bared his teeth and smiled: "This brother, why are you in such a hurry?" Since Mrs. Yuan said so, she must have her reasons. Why don't you be patient and listen to it? ”
"I don't listen!" Qi Lei stretched out his hand and was about to push him, but the others also noticed the strangeness and hurriedly persuaded him from the side.
In the end, he stared at everyone with a resentful face, so angry that he couldn't speak coherently, "Okay...... Good...... You're all crazy...... They were all fascinated by this man...... Is she really planning something big......"
Dou Changke immediately frowned, puzzled: "I remember, Young Lady Yuan should be the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, right?" Qi Lei, since you are a subordinate and come out with her, shouldn't you obey her instructions unconditionally? If you don't accept her, why did you follow her in the first place? Do you want me to be kind, and when I return to Tianjing, I will go to the Five Cities Terracotta Division to say a few words for you? ”
What to say, this is intriguing.
Qi Lei wanted to argue with him by the neck, but Xiang Qian pulled his sleeve, "Qi Lei, you don't have to say a word." Moreover, we have already come here, but we will stay a little longer, and we can't afford to stay? Listen, what is the purpose of Vice General Xie doing this! ”
Xu found this step, and Qi Lei didn't want to be too embarrassed, so he immediately turned his face away and hummed in a low voice: "It's just a woman with long hair and short knowledge, what can it do?" ”
Xie Fenghua pretended not to hear this, first gave Du Huaishao a grateful look, and then said slowly: "You also heard the conversation between the two just now. Just imagine, if we go out and set fire to the granary now, will the people of the Northern Underworld have enough time and energy to deal with us? ”
Everyone else was stunned, and didn't seem to think of such a long-term problem.
And Qi Lei's face was already bruised, obviously she didn't expect that she didn't allow them to go out out of such considerations.
How loud the resistance was just now, now it is as silent as a quail.
Yuan Mindong glanced at him, and then said, "Sister-in-law, in this way, we still have to wait for a suitable time?" ”
Xie Fenghua snorted and nodded: "This timing needs to be accurate. It's too early, and what we've done may fall short. If it is too late, it will not be able to stumble on the pace of the battle between the Northern Underworld and Los Angeles, and it will only cause innocent casualties. ”
Her lips were pale and slightly chapped, and there was no clean place on her body. But even in such a dirty and smelly environment, she was still calm, and when she thought about it carefully, she never heard half of her complain from beginning to end.
What is even more commendable is that she not only did not panic, but also quickly analyzed the current situation through a few words. Although people are not in the game, they are as if they are on the scene, so as to formulate the most effective countermeasures.
- Such a strategic and decisive ability is simply breathtaking.
And this tenacity is enough to make people unconsciously admire and admire.
Qi Lei's head was already buried in his chest, and he didn't dare to look up at her again.
He was born in the rivers and lakes, and he has always admired people with hills and valleys. Unexpectedly, this time he looked away and said those embarrassing words.
Xie Fenghua finally looked at him and said earnestly: "Everything here is interlocking, and if you miss something, you will find a fork in the direction." So you don't have to be upset about it. The most important thing right now is to wait! ”
And after hearing this, Qi Lei became more and more ashamed. The whole face is hot, and I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Knowing the next plan, everyone could only stay put. Xu saw hope, and everyone was more patient than before, and they could even grit their teeth and accept it when they listened to others sigh on top of their heads.
Little by little, time passed.
When the sound of drums and chaotic horses' hooves finally came overhead, Xie Fenghua finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "It's time!" Let's get out! ”
As soon as the words fell, Qi Lei had already rushed out like the wind.
When they re-touched the air outside, several people in the group smelled the smell of their bodies with disgust, and then saw Xie Fenghua standing with his spine straight, and his eyes had changed from admiration to blind worship.
Such a good concentration is really admirable.
Due to their remote location, no one will notice their existence in a short period of time. After a brief but quick discussion, they went their separate ways.
The Northern Underworld people have 80,000 soldiers and horses in Jincheng, and the amount of grain and grass they need is also very large.
Xie Fenghua first asked Xing Feng to secretly investigate the location of the grain and grass, and after getting the news, he divided the rest of the people into three teams, centered on the granary closest to the main account, and lit the fire one after another, so that it must be burned clean.
This time, she acted with Du Huaishao.
The Northern Underworld had already gathered and was about to go to battle, the morale of the drums was high, and the people who stayed behind in the granary seemed to have relaxed, not noticing the approach of the peculiar smell.
For them, it's a lot of relief.
According to the original plan, they did not start igniting until the army was on the battlefield. After a long hibernation, finally waiting for the time to start, Xie Fenghua and Du Huaishao first lit the batch of grain and grass close to the main tent, and then took advantage of the chaos to kill a few people in the way, and moved to the next granary.
The flames rose into the sky, and the smoke billowed and burned half the sky red.
It was early in the morning, and the fire was so dazzling that the warring sides discovered the anomaly at the first time, and the situation on the battlefield suddenly turned upside down.
Yuan Minzhou stood on the city tower, looking at the raging fire opposite, and the hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.
He seemed to remember something, called Changying, and said uncertainly: "I remember, there was news from Ah Dong before?" ”
"Yes." Changying repeated the news again before saying, "Master Hou, this must be what the young lady meant. You see, do you need to prepare? ”
Yuan Minzhou nodded and said, "Hurry up and prepare." I guess they'll be moving soon. ”
Changying hurriedly retreated and prepared.
And the granary caught fire, directly dealing a heavy blow to the Northern Underworld who were fighting in front. The second prince of the Northern Underworld, Ming Xu, turned his head to look at the direction of the fire behind him, and waved the sword in his hand even harder, his eyes were about to split.
Because of this change, there was a great turmoil in the Northern Underworld Army, and many soldiers were cowardly and subconsciously retreated. On the contrary, the oncoming soldiers of the Liang Dynasty became more and more courageous, and soon killed them with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the leaves.
Tomorrow Xu was forced to retreat step by step, shouting that he was not allowed to retreat, while fending off attacks from all directions. Rao is like this, and the morale of the Northern Underworld people is getting weaker and weaker, showing a defeat in front of the Liang Dynasty's generals.
If the fight continues, the losses are estimated to be very heavy.
The deputy general next to him suddenly proposed: "Your Highness, why don't you withdraw your troops first?" The granary is on fire, morale is frustrated, and there must be no more brainless rushes forward. The first thing is to make sure that you don't have to worry about it! ”
Tomorrow Xu frowned and looked around, then nodded, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
The soldiers of the Northern Underworld retreated like a tide, and Tomorrow Xu was protected by a group of guards, and he was about to retreat into the crowd.
Suddenly, an arrow whizzed from behind and swooped through his shoulder. The arrow was so sharp that it directly knocked him off his horse.
And not far from Mingxu, Changying had already led people to wait, and at this moment, seeing Mingxu fall off his horse, he led people to climb up and fall in the crowd like a ghost, and unexpectedly rushed to Mingxu's side, and brought him back to Los Angeles in his powerlessness to resist.
Xie Fenghua stood at the top of the tent, and after shooting the arrow, his spirit was a little weak. When she saw the movements of Changying and the others, she breathed a sigh of relief, quickly turned around and joined the others, and took advantage of the chaos to return to Los Angeles.
On the bank of the Jinjiang River, the man with the hat stood at the mouth of the dirty tunnel with his hands in his hands, looked in the direction of the granary fire, and asked the subordinates beside him, "You just said that the second prince was not only shot by an arrow, but also taken away?" ”
"That's true." The subordinate replied.
And the hat man suddenly laughed, quite playful: "It's really not easy to make tomorrow Xu plant." Can you find out, who shot that arrow? ”
"The wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan, the second lady of the Xie family."
"Xie Er? Isn't that Xie Fenghua's own sister? The hat man was quite surprised, but he was quickly relieved and sighed, "The skills of this couple are really overwhelming." Is this what the world says, husband and wife match, work without getting tired? ”
As if talking to himself, he looked at the hole again, and quietly left the place.
And after Xie Fenghua and the others took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Los Angeles, they didn't care about any image, and they all sat on the ground.
When Yuan Minzhou came, what he saw was a picture of everyone embarrassed and tired. He didn't seem to notice the stench that permeated the tip of his nose, and walked towards Xie Fenghua.
But he didn't want to, Xie Fenghua saw his movements, and was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped back, and raised his hand to stop him from continuing to approach, "Master Hou, you stop!" Just stand there and don't come any more! ”
For some reason, she was able to be calm in front of Du Huaishao and others, but as soon as she saw Yuan Minzhou, that courage disappeared without a trace in an instant.
As early as when Yuan Minzhou came over, the others had already left with interest, and Xie Fenghua was a little less embarrassed.
But as soon as she lowered her head, she could smell the smell of her body, her face suddenly wrinkled, and she almost pleaded: "Master Hou, for the sake of my hard work, can you find me a place to wash the smell on my body?" ”
Yuan Minzhou shook his head with a smile, glanced at her, and said, "Then you come with me!" ”
Xu was aware of her squirming, and Yuan Minzhou was also very considerate to take her to a place where there were few people. When she climbed over the wall and entered the room and returned to her accommodation, Yuan Minzhou hurriedly ordered someone to prepare bath water and left the space inside to her.
At this time, Changying suddenly knocked on the door, "Master Hou, my subordinates have something to report." ”
Yuan Minzhou glanced at the movement on the other side of the screen, thought for a while, and then walked out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"The second prince of the Northern Underworld wants to see you." Changying said succinctly.
Yuan Minzhou pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "No." You tell him that the person who can dispose of him is the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty, not the Marquis of Ben. If he wants to hit any ideas, he doesn't need to hit Ben Hou's head. ”
Changying hurriedly wrote it down.
I heard him ask again: "Do you know, what did the young lady encounter all the way?" How did it become like this? ”
Changying had already found out the ins and outs, and when he asked at this moment, he hurriedly said it.
After finishing speaking, he carefully observed Yuan Minzhou's expression, and added, "Master Hou, the young lady has a good chest and a transcendent ability, if she hadn't set fire to the granary of the Northern Underworld in time, this battle would still be very difficult to fight......
"Are you worried she'll be punished?" Yuan Minzhou squinted slightly, and his tone was a little dangerous.
Changying realized what he said, and his heart trembled, shaking his head like a rattle, "Master Hou, my subordinates didn't mean that. It's just that I have great admiration for the young lady......"
He was in a hurry to explain, but he didn't want to, Yuan Minzhou glanced at him and said lightly: "You retreat first." In the past few days, I have paid attention to the movements of the people in the north of Jincheng. Perhaps, there will be a fierce battle next. ”
Changying hurriedly responded and turned to leave.
Thinking of the news he had just heard, Yuan Minzhou had mixed feelings in his heart.
All along, he wanted to do his best to give the person in the room a safe and worry-free environment. But after getting along a few times, he realized that it was too difficult to do.
It's not that he doesn't have enough skills, but that the man is always extremely tormented. If he didn't pay attention, he couldn't keep up with her, let alone send charcoal in the snow.
He rubbed his brow and sighed.
In the end, this is a sister, who likes to make noise, and it is really the same.
Thinking so, he went back to the room, shouted several times in a row, but did not hear an answer, his heart tightened, and he didn't care about avoiding anything, and walked directly behind the screen. When he saw the unconscious man lying in the water with his head tilted, he was suddenly shocked and shouted outside, "Changying, go find the doctor!" ”
The doctor came quickly, and as soon as he touched Xie Fenghua's pulse, his brows suddenly furrowed, Yuan Minzhou watched from the side, and asked worriedly, "Doctor, how is it?" ”
"Back to the Hou Ye, the young lady's pulse is a little inappropriate...... the doctor stood up and said thoughtfully, "The young lady still has injuries on her body, and she is overworked, so she can only rest and recuperate for now." The grass people went to prescribe some medicine first. Hou Ye remembered to treat the young lady's wounds. ”
Yuan Minzhou nodded hurriedly, and ordered Changying to follow the doctor down, while he returned to the room to treat Xie Fenghua's wounds. When he saw her fall into the water just now, he panicked, and it was only then that he saw that she still had two arrow wounds on her body, and it was hard to imagine how she could hold on all the way by herself, and she didn't miss a big deal.
His hand slowly ran under her ribs, and after soaking in the water for so long, the wound had cracked, revealing the flesh rolled over his shoulder. He first picked out the purulent part and sprinkled it with medicinal powder before carefully bandaging it.
Although this is due to excessive fatigue, the injuries on his body are not treated in time, which is the reason why Xie Fenghua is unconscious. After he finished treating the wound, he encountered Xie Fenghua's fever again, and he tossed for a long time.
Dou Changke and the others stood guard outside the door, listening to the movement inside, all frowning.
"Douzi, you said my sister-in-law is okay, right?" Yuan Mindong was a little worried, stretched his neck to look inside, but couldn't see anything.
Dou Changke hurriedly shook his head, signaling that he didn't know, and when he reacted to his title, his face suddenly lengthened, and he said angrily: "What did you call me just now?" ”
"Beans! Isn't that what my sister-in-law called you? Yuan Mindong was quite puzzled.
Dou Changke immediately jumped up and hit him on the head, he was already relatively tall, this pat on the head made him regain some pride, raised his eyebrows, and said proudly: "You can't just call me a bean." That's what the boss can call. ”
"That's my sister-in-law." Yuan Mindong retorted.
"That's the boss's sister, too." Dou Changke instructed him, and then said, "Let me tell you, although you are the eldest sister's brother-in-law, but after all, we are so far apart!" ”
When Yuan Mindong heard this, he suddenly fell silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
And Dou Changke was thinking about other things, and he didn't pay attention to his expression for a while.
On the way from Los Angeles to Jincheng, he had too many doubts in his heart. It's just that I didn't have time to take care of it at that time, so I had to put it in my heart. After calming down and thinking about it at this moment, he suddenly realized that these doubts had made him unable to ignore.
In fact, he hadn't thought of the boss for a long time.
When he saw Mrs. Yuan, he always had an illusion, feeling that the boss was still by his side, and he subconsciously regarded Mrs. Yuan as the person in his memory.
And to his surprise, Mrs. Yuan Shao actually accepted this cognition calmly, and even called him "bean" very naturally.
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly became calm.
But now she is still unconscious, and many things can't be asked in person, he gritted his teeth, and can only put these questions aside first.
After tossing and turning like this for a day and night, Xie Fenghua's fever finally subsided.
While taking care of Xie Fenghua, Yuan Minzhou did not give up the attack on the Northern Underworld. He first ordered Changying to take the dark guard to assassinate the deputy general in the Northern Underworld Army, and the dragons were leaderless, and then led the troops to fight head-on, and soon suppressed the Northern Underworld people to the point that they had no backhand.
Just as he was about to continue the pursuit of victory, the Northern Underworld suddenly sent an envoy to negotiate peace, and handed Yuan Minzhou a letter of peace and asked for an armistice.
At that time, Yuan Minzhou was dealing with business in front of the bookcase, and when he heard the news, the whole person was stunned, and confirmed it several times before asking: "Who is the peace envoy?" ”
Dou Zhong hurriedly said: "Hui Hou Ye, she is the eldest princess of the Northern Underworld. ”
Yuan Minzhou frowned suddenly, but before he could say anything, he heard Dou Changke say disdainfully: "How can the emperor of the Northern Netherworld send a princess to negotiate peace?" Those who don't know think they want to kiss! ”
Yuan Mindong glared at him, he shrunk his neck, but he still said with a stalk on his neck: "Master Hou, they shouldn't be coming for you, right?" Let me guess, are they thinking of it? First of all, in the name of peace, send a princess to come close to you, and then stuff this eldest princess into the Hou Mansion, and squeeze out the young lady, and when the time comes, you will give birth to a son and a half daughter, and your Hou Mansion will become a subsidiary of the Northern Underworld...... Hey, winter melon, why are you beating me? ”
"Shut up." Yuan Mindong had a dark face, and he couldn't wait to throw him out entirely, so as not to be embarrassed in front of everyone.
He glanced at his eldest brother out of the corner of his eye, and found that the other party had no intention of being angry, and he also had a number in his heart, and waved his fist at Dou Changke, and taught him a lesson while fighting: "Why did you beat you, don't you know?" It's full of nonsense all day long, and when my sister-in-law wakes up, I must tell her that you are sowing discord......"
"How can I sow discord?" Dou Chang's forehead looked puzzled, but there were so many people at the moment, and he was not good at showing his fists and feet, so he dragged Yuan Mindong out in a fit of anger, and his voice could still be heard from a distance, "Broken winter melon, you make it clear, otherwise we won't be done with this matter......"
Yuan Mindong's voice was faintly heard, but everyone was discussing countermeasures, and when they heard Dou Changke's words, they didn't feel anything, but after thinking about it deeply, they suddenly felt a strangeness.
For a while, all kinds of eyes were on Yuan Minzhou, and he was quite curious about how he would react.
But Yuan Minzhou didn't react, but his face was gloomy, and he couldn't see what was going on in his heart.
Seeing this, everyone immediately put away their curious thoughts.
Yuan Minzhou remembered Xie Fenghua's situation in his heart, and he didn't care too much, and continued to ask: "Dou Chengshou, where is the eldest princess now?" ”
"Back to Master Hou, I'm still in Jincheng." Dou Zhong thought for a moment, and then said, "Master Hou, the movements of the Northern Underworld are still quite fast. The day before yesterday, he had just captured the second prince of the Northern Underworld, and it had only been a long time before he had sent a peace envoy. Master Hou, otherwise, we won't accept the peace negotiation and continue to fight? ”
Anyway, they have enough troops now, and it's not that they can't be defeated.
Yuan Minzhou glanced at him, and just one glance made his heart tremble. He lowered his head and hurriedly said, "Master Hou forgives his sins." The lower official's brain is broken, and he forgets to be measured. ”
After saying that, he wanted to slap himself hard.
How important is the matter of negotiating peace, how can he decide it with a small city guard? He actually tried in vain to interfere with the decision of Dingyuan Hou, which was simply a lard.
Yuan Minzhou glanced at him again, and said lightly: "After Benhou goes to see the eldest princess, he will decide whether to report to the emperor." Dou Chengshou, you go and arrange it. ”
Dou Zhong hurriedly responded and retreated to prepare.
And Yuan Minzhou went back to the room, looking at the person lying on the bed, his eyebrows were almost twisted into pimples.
That day, after she was fished out of the water, she was unconscious. The doctor also came to see the injury, and it stands to reason that the wound is properly treated, and it is slowly recovering, and it is almost time to wake up!
It happened that Changying came in with the medicine, he took it carefully, and was about to lean over to feed the medicine, but he heard a whisper, and the bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground.
He thought he had misheard the ringing in his ears, and he leaned closer, with a tremor that he hadn't even noticed, and carefully discerned the words.
"Yinghua, don't be afraid, my sister protects you......"
