145. You are not a woman
Outside, the mountainous area, the nearby towns and villages have been taken over by the Northwest Army, but the people who once lived here will never return.
When Xiaozhou Wu Lin and the others led people to inspect, they saw those empty chicken coops and pigsties, and saw the courtyards of the houses that had been trampled by the "bandits", and they couldn't help but scold their mothers all the way.
After returning to the town and dismounting and unsaddled, Wu Lin complained: "Don't let these things reach the ears of the county lord. The county lord cherishes the people the most, and if she knows that a good village has been plagued like this, she doesn't know how to be sad! β
Hearing this, Liu Wuniang, who had been quiet all the way, suddenly turned around, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes.
Xiaozhou was keenly aware of it, and immediately greeted him and asked, "What does Miss Liu want to say?" β
Liu Wuniang originally wanted to dodge, but when she heard the question, she had to stand still, and she didn't answer.
Wu Lin walked over and said coldly: "Miss Liu, the last general has no other meaning, and His Royal Highness will not pursue what the True Martial Army did in the past." But I hope that you and the soldiers can distinguish between right and wrong, and you must ensure that such indiscriminate killing of innocents and destruction of people's homes will never be done again in the future! β
Liu Wuniang hooked the corners of her lips and smiled coldly: "Since it is the military discipline of the Northwest Army, the soldiers naturally abide by it." β
"Since you are willing to comply, what did you mean by that glance just now?" Xiaozhou walked over and asked nonrelentingly.
Liu Wuniang's expression was proud, and the irony at the corners of her lips became more and more obvious: "I laughed at the Northwest Army for being famous for its iron-blooded ruthlessness, but it turned out that when I also had the tenderness of my mother-in-law and mother-in-law, when I saw the people suffering, the first thing I thought of was that I was afraid that a woman would be sad." β
"The county lord of Qingyang is not an ordinary woman," Xiao Zhou said coldly, "She is a true phoenix, and she takes it as her responsibility to protect the people of the world, so naturally she can't see the people suffering, and the soldiers of the Northwest Army can't bear to see her sad." β
Liu Wuniang sneered, although she did not refute, the contempt on her face was not concealed at all.
Xiao Zhou was angry and immediately stepped forward to theorize, Wu Lin hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "It's because I said it badly before, don't blame Miss Liu for not liking to listen." β
This is obviously bending down and bowing his head to pave the steps for the other party.
Liu Wuniang didn't take the opportunity to say a good word to vaguely pass the past, but followed Wu Lin's words and asked, "What did you say before, where did you say it badly?" β
Wu Lin frowned, his smile faded, and his tone became a little cold: "I said that the county lord of Qingyang would be sad, but I was wrong. The county lord of Qingyang is never angry and sad about things that cannot be changed, she will only stand with the people in times of crisis, and she will be benevolent and help the world. The county lord and His Royal Highness are willing to put the people in their hearts, so the two of them have hit it off at first sight since they met, and they are destined to be a good couple for a lifetime. β
"Of course," Liu Wuniang smiled and shook her hand: "His Royal Highness and the county lord are a good match, and they are indeed a good couple." β
This is a good sentence, and her expression is very good-looking, but the meaning of the words always feels wrong.
So, after Liu Wuniang walked away, Xiaozhou immediately ran to find Ye Han and Ruan Qingzhi, who were catching rabbits on the hillside, and told them what had just happened.
"Don't care," Ye Han waved her hand, "She is not happy in her heart, and her words and expressions will inevitably bring out a few points, you just ignore it." β
Xiao Zhou stomped his feet several times so that his eyes failed to attract Ye Han's attention, and he was so angry that he simply turned to Ruan Qingzhi again: "County Lord, do you see this ......matter?"
Ruan Qingzhi patted the snow on her body and sat down: "A female general who can lead troops to fight naturally looks down on me as a young lady who enjoys wealth and wealth by relying on her family background. However, it is not a good thing for a team to have too many emotions for the generals. β
Xiao Zhou nodded again and again when he heard this: "That's exactly the truth!" She's a woman, and we can't talk to her, so we can only watch her yin and yang all day long...... How else can this soldier be braided? You don't know, the county lord, she also said that she was born as a maidservant, and her temper is even bigger than that of a princess! β
Ye Han also frowned when he heard this, and walked over and sat down beside Ruan Qingzhi: "She didn't say anything about the team's incorporation?" β
Xiaozhou shook his head.
Ye Han thought for a while and said, "That being the case, you guys are paying attention these days to see if there are any available people in the Zhenwu Army, quietly cultivating, and slowly moving the power over." As for Liu Wuniang, let's ask Chu Weiyang to accompany her for a while, let's just say that she has a heavy responsibility and must have a comprehensive understanding of the affairs of the Northwest Army, and Chu Weiyang will tell her little by little. β
Xiao Zhou thought this idea was very good, clapped his hands and jumped: "I'll go find Brother Chu!" That eccentric woman, I'm afraid only Brother Chu can deal with her! β
Ye Han and Ruan Qingzhi nodded at the same time, and secretly said in their hearts, Chu Weiyang, take care.
When Xiaozhou ran away happily, Ruan Qingzhi looked at Ye Han and asked, "You say, why did she target me?" β
"How do I know!" Ye Han had a bitter face, "Women's hearts are needles, and the women in this world - except for those who are so smart and empathetic like you - are all weird, I really can't guess!" β
Ruan Qingzhi listened to his words and turned quickly, and couldn't help laughing for a while.
Ye Han looked at her face and said cautiously: "Anyway, she shouldn't be the reason that Xiaozhou guessed." Chu Weiyang has always looked at the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, he deliberately stirred up trouble, don't believe him. β
Ruan Qingzhi sneered.
Ye Han also realized that he was too nervous, and explained helplessly: "I'm really not weak-hearted, I'm afraid that you will be too careful." You see, there are too many bad guys! β
"Yes," Ruan Qingzhi said with emotion, "Especially that Chu Weiyang, he has been by your side for so many years, he really knows people and faces!" He actually said that the beauty trick for you must work...... I'd like to ask him, how does this beauty plan have to work? I didn't make it work! β
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Han's face was already stiff.
"You, did you hear it?!" He asked through gritted teeth.
Ruan Qingzhi spread his hands to him, looking helpless: "Chu Weiyang said so loudly, how could I not hear it!" Bring a woman to my man in front of me, and I will wake up even if I sleep like a dead pig! β
Ye Han looked at her pitifully: "Since you have heard it, you must know that I am innocent." β
Ruan Qingzhi laughed.
Ye Han saw that her smile didn't look like a mustard, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then a little lost.
So, I'm still not really jealous.
Ruan Qingzhi didn't know that Ye Han was looking forward to her jealousy again. On the contrary, she was a little worried, for fear that Ye Han would think that she was jealous and ate too much.
After all, jealousy means jealousy, and jealousy is one of the "seven outs"! She plans to live a good life, even if she has a stomach full of vinegar, she has to endure it!
It's not that she can't bear it, it's just that she hates being targeted, especially when the other party is also a woman.
Ruan Qingzhi recalled Liu Wuniang's previous expression and tone in his heart, clapped his hands and stood up: "Let's go and see the new comrades of the Northwest Army!" β
accepted the incorporation of the Northwest Army, and was a member of the Northwest Army. There will be no "real martial army" in this mountain from now on.
Of course, Ye Han would not object to her proposal, so the two of them packed up their traps and bows and arrows, and hurried to the hillside where the troops were training, watching the soldiers busy from a distance.
The incorporation of the Zhenwu Army was unusually smooth.
Although those people are used to being bandits, in the final analysis, they are all the children of ordinary people, and who really wants to be bandits for the rest of their lives?
The prestige of the Northwest Army is known to the whole world, and they thought that they would never see each other for the rest of their lives, but now they suddenly became soldiers of the Northwest Army, and many soldiers were so excited that they cried.
Of course, there are also those who do not obey the control, Lao Cheng and they are not soft at all, they have learned a lesson from the slashing and beating, and the rest are honest.
When the soldiers saw the cold night, they immediately rejoiced and saluted, and the chaos was also lively.
Some people guessed Ruan Qingzhi's identity, and when they mentioned "Medicine King Niangniang", talking about Ruan Qingzhi's wonderful hands and benevolence in curing diseases and saving people, it was naturally another lively time.
When Ye Han was giving a lecture to everyone and repeatedly emphasizing the military discipline of the Northwest Army, Liu Wuniang hurried over: "Your Highness, the last general has something to say!" β
Yehan stopped and looked at her: "Please have something to say." β
Liu Wuniang arched her hand, then glanced back at Ruan Qingzhi, and said coldly: "Your Highness, fighting with soldiers is a matter of life and death, and women cannot be allowed to put their beaks." The last general hopes that His Royal Highness will send his inner relatives out of this place, and don't let the tenderness of his children affect the iron-blooded hearts of the soldiers, let alone listen to the ignorant woman pointing fingers and saying some ridiculous stupid things! β
Before she finished her words, Lao Cheng, Zheng and Lao Liu had already opened their mouths wide, and Chu Weiyang even stretched out two thumbs up, admiring him.
Ye Han's face had already become gloomy, and he didn't answer for a long time.
Ruan Qingzhi took two steps forward and sneered: "Fighting with soldiers is a matter of life and death, and women can't be allowed to put their beaks." Miss Liu's words are very good! β
"Call me General Liu!" Liu Wuniang said coldly.
Ruan Qingzhi was very talkative, and immediately called him "General Liu Shen" according to his words, and then stepped forward and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, it's all my fault for my clumsiness, I always thought that General Liu Shen was a daughter, but I didn't expect it - there is such a beautiful man in the world, and the county lord can be regarded as having a long experience today!" β
The soldiers who heard her laughter nearby laughed in unison, and a few upright soldiers shouted: "The county lord is not mistaken, General Liu is a woman!" β
"Female? How is that possible? Ruan Qingzhi narrowed his eyes, and his smile grew cold: "Don't lie to me!" How can a woman keep saying that women are not allowed to put their beaks when it comes to fighting with soldiers? Since women are not allowed to put their beaks, what was she doing just now? Fart? β
Speaking of which, everyone can see that she is angry.
Liu Wuniang's phoenix eyes narrowed, and her face was full of anger: "You ......"
Ruan Qingzhi raised his hand to cut off her words, still with a smile on his face: "Liu Shen will calm his anger, I know that the long list you put just now is not a fart." Therefore, since women are not allowed to use their beaks in the matter of fighting with soldiers, and you yourself have to put your beaks, there is only one explanation for this matter - it is obvious that you are not a woman. β
Liu Wuniang was so angry that she smoked. If it weren't for Ye Han always staring at her, the embroidery knife in her hand would probably have been raised.
The soldiers present didn't care about this, they had been bandits for a long time, and they were used to being open-mouthed, so they immediately shouted:
"It turns out that Liu Shen will not be a girl, I said it earlier, what are you squirming when the brothers pull you to take a bath?"
"That's it, you won't go to the county to visit the kiln that day!"
"No, county lord, that Liu Shen is really squatting and peeing, she doesn't have that thing......"
The knife in Liu Wuniang's hand was finally raised.
Lao Cheng Liang shouted angrily in a loud voice like thunder: "General Liu! Northwest Army Military Regulations: The blade must not be aimed at the comrades! β
Liu Wuniang's big knife trembled in her hand, stalemate for a moment, and finally put it down heavily.
At this time, the previous generals who were shouting indiscriminately had been frightened by Liu Wuniang and shut up by the cold of the night. Ruan Qingzhi was willing to answer the conversation, and said with a smile on his face: "How do you know that Liu Shen will not grow that thing?" Didn't she grow it in her head and in her mouth? β
Liu Wuniang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and waved the long knife in her hand all at once.
She calculated it in advance, and specially chose an angle that the night cold didn't have time to save. Of course, she didn't really want to do anything to Ruan Qingzhi, if she cut it accurately, her blade should just be swept against Ruan Qingzhi's cheek, and then just wait to see this delicate little county lord collapse and cry in fright.
But before the knife was swung out, she knew something was wrong.
Who would have thought that the little county lord would hideβhide in the wrong direction.
Liu Wuniang watched the knife in her hand aim at Ruan Qingzhi's face and slashed over. If this sword is solid, will it not be to split people in half!
This knife used all its strength, and it was too late to close the momentum at this time. Liu Wuniang was completely stunned, she only knew that she was tearing her throat and yelling, and she didn't have any idea.
The soldiers present were also frightened, and for a time there was deathly silence on the hillside of thousands of people.
Time seems to stand still, and only Ruan Qingzhi is alive. She flew up and kicked Liu Wuniang's wrist accurately, and at the same time dodged and leaned back, her whole body bent backwards into a bow.
The long knife swirled in front of her eyes and thud into the snow beside her.
Ruan Qingzhi straightened her waist neatly, looked at Liu Wuniang, and smiled slightly.
The night cold next to him exhaled slowly.
Liu Wuniang's screams never stopped. Seeing Ruan Qingzhi stand up, instead of regaining her composure, she sat down on the ground with a thud, covered her face with her hands and cried.
Crashed.
Ruan Qingzhi spread his hands innocently, turned around and asked Ye Han, "What's wrong with her?" β
Ye Han didn't answer, and the soldiers who came back to their senses next to him had already burst out into applause.
Lord Qingyang, good skills!
Ruan Qingzhi shrank behind Ye Han, blushing a little.
Her skills are actually not good, but everyone's expectations for her are too low, and they thought she was going to die, but now she is already a master unscathed.
What's more, there is Liu Wuniang as a foil for her - the only female general, her skills are nothing more than that!
Ruan Qingzhi threw up his sleeves and sat down. Ye Han walked over and grabbed her hand without saying a word, and the two waited together for Liu Wuniang to finish crying.
At this time, there were already people among the soldiers who were coaxing, shouting that Ruan Qingzhi would take over this part of the team instead of Liu Wuniang.
Ruan Qingzhi waved his hand and smiled modestly at all: "I will be true of everything, but I can't really do everything!" There are so many people who can use soldiers to fight, and I am the only one who can cure the plague. β
Liu Wuniang soon stopped crying, and when she heard this, she immediately raised her head and glared angrily at Ruan Qingzhi.
Ruan Qingzhi smiled and said coldly: "General Liu, your martial arts are really ordinary, it's too embarrassing to cry at every turn!" It's a shame that you're not a woman, otherwise you'll lose the face of women all over the world! β
"You, kidding me?" Liu Wuniang slowly stood up.
Ye looked at her coldly: "The military regulations of the Northwest Army, which one was violated, you said it yourself." β
"I didn't!" Liu Wuniang was anxious, "I didn't really want to kill her, I just scared and scared her!" Who knew she'd run to my knife by herself......"
No one interrupted her, but the more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and finally she shut her mouth in a sneer.
Ye Han casually pointed to one of the soldiers in the team.
The soldier wasn't sure whether to let him speak, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he hesitated and spoke: "Military discipline is 'you must not aim your sword at your comrades', so General Liu was wrong when he raised his sword, not whether he hurt the county lord." β
Ye Han nodded slightly, and looked at Liu Wuniang again.
Liu Wuniang was not convinced, gritted her teeth and said: "But she is not a 'comrade'!" She has no military status, she is not from the Northwest Army! β
"That's even more serious." The night was cold and cold, "The first article of the military regulations: those who bully innocent people will be beheaded." β
Liu Wuniang's face changed drastically, and she stammered: "But I didn't plan to bully her at all, it was herself...... What's more, she's not an ordinary person! β
"It's not easy to do if it's not the people," Chu Weiyang came over with a smile, "She is the county lord, and if you bully her, it will be a capital crime." β
Liu Wuniang was stunned for a long time, and suddenly raised her head and laughed: "I understand, I understand!" It's because I offended her, so you are doing everything possible to find a crime to force me to death! I know that I am a servant girl, and I will never be as noble as a young lady like her, but why! β
"Just, it's up to you to be wrong." Ruan Qingzhi stood up and said slowly.
Liu Wuniang glared at her angrily, as if she wanted to kill with her eyes.
It's a pity that Ruan Qingzhi doesn't care about this lethality at all. She was not so much talking to Liu Wuniang as she was explaining to the soldiers in front of her: "Previously, His Royal Highness chose to let Miss Liu take over our team because Miss Liu was willing to stand up in times of crisis and exchange her life for the safety of all the soldiers. This benevolence of loving soldiers like a son is admirable. β
Liu Wuniang straightened her chest, and when she saw Ruan Qingzhi's gaze, she hurriedly glanced to the side to show her disdain.
Ruan Qingzhi retracted his gaze and continued: "The Northwest Army appoints people on the basis of merit, and they will not treat you very harshly because you are a woman or because you are a servant. But Miss Liu, you yourself have betrayed the trust of Your Highness. β
"Where did I live up?!" Liu Wuniang yelled at her with her neck straight.
Ruan Qingzhi sneered: "You are too anxious to advertise yourself as a heroine among women." You are anxious to show in front of Your Highness that you are not an ordinary woman, that you are not afraid of the powerful, and that you are not inferior to a man...... Unfortunately, I am both a woman and a 'magnate', so you want to deliberately disrespect me and step on me to flaunt that you are the only female hero in the army. When you gave me no face in public, most of you thought that in order to show that you were united with the soldiers, Your Highness would definitely drive me away, an 'ignorant woman', and maybe even insult me in public for being a 'stupid woman with long hair and short knowledge', right? β
Liu Wuniang wanted to say, "Of course not", but her throat was so dry that she couldn't say a word.
Ruan Qingzhi glanced at her, scolded "stupid" unceremoniously, and said: "Actually, when you gambled your life to seek the future of the soldiers, you were already a heroine among women. I really admired you before, but now, I really look down on you. β
She picked up Liu Wuniang's embroidery knife with her toes, turned it in her hand twice, and handed it back to her: "You want to be a heroine among women, but you don't know that it is impossible for a heroine to climb up by humiliating and trampling on other women, let alone by flattering men." If you say in public that 'there is no room for women to fight with soldiers', you will not let any of the men present hate you for seeing you too late, they will only laugh at you for forgetting that you are a woman yourself. You must know that if the Northwest Army excludes women, you yourself are the first to be excluded. β
Liu Wuniang stood beside her with a red face, and she didn't know if it was because of anger or shame. After Ruan Qingzhi finished speaking, she finally gritted her teeth and spoke: "You are not as good as me." If you want to reject women, you should be the first! β
There was a burst of boos in the ranks of the soldiers.
Ruan Qingzhi spread his hands: "You see, the soldiers don't think so. β
Liu Wuniang's eyes widened as if she wanted to refute, but Ruan Qingzhi intercepted her words again and sneered: "In fact, the Northwest Army does not exclude women. They only reject people who have no ability but can only talk crookedly and intrigue, such as you at the moment. β
"Exclusion or not, it's not up to you to decide." Liu Wuniang said coldly, "A young lady like you, who has been pampered since childhood, of course I don't know how difficult it is for girls from poor families to grow up!" β
"I really don't know." Ruan Qingzhi smiled slightly, "I have had whatever I wanted since I was a child, I only know how to be gentle and humble, and strive to be the best in doing things." I really don't need the means of intrigue between the little maids and stepping on others to climb up, and I never thought to understand it. β
Liu Wuniang thought that Miss Qianjin was proud, and she would not be willing to admit that her background had an advantage. Unexpectedly, Ruan Qingzhi not only admitted it, but also ridiculed her face to face for being a servant.
Thinking of her background, Liu Wuniang couldn't help but feel a little more angry, looked at Ye Han and said aggrievedly: "The last general knows that he is from a humble background, and he can't compare to those young ladies who have studied ...... sharp teeth."
"You're wrong," Ye Han stood up and said coldly: "In the Northwest Army, there are also generations of lowly slaves, and they still worship the marquis after making great achievements, and no one is as stupid and arrogant as you, and the princess who bullied this king in public still thinks that this king should appreciate you." β
Liu Wuniang didn't mean well when she heard this, so she knelt down on one knee and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, Bi'er has no intention of offending the princess!" I just think she's a ......."
"That's it," Ye Han raised his hand to stop her words, "I wanted to reuse you before, you thought you had a good character, but now it seems that this king doesn't know anyone." - Chu Weiyang, you should take a closer look in the army, and choose another person to take over this important task. β
Chu Weiyang happily agreed loudly and waved his fist: "Soldiers, the position of general is vacant, your opportunity has come!" β
There was an immediate commotion in the crowd, and many people were eager to try, and no one sympathized with Liu Wuniang's situation.
Ye Han took Ruan Qingzhi's hand and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, the clown who jumps off the beam is not worth being angry about." How about I take you to the mountains to hunt wolves? β
Ruan Qingzhi has no interest in wolves, she wants to go hunting pheasants.
Ye Han immediately said that everything was listened to by the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law's instructions were always correct.
Ruan Qingzhi cocked his tail, and finally felt a little more comfortable in his heart. So the two handed over all the affairs of the army to Chu Weiyang and them, and ran to find a cage to hunt pheasants.
Watching the two walk out of the distance, Liu Wuniang finally woke up, got up and chased: "Slow!" Your Royal Highness, I have a secret, you will definitely be interested! β
