To live is a wish that cannot be smaller, but it is not easy to achieve.

The fighting did not end until the afternoon of the next day. The bandits, who were lucky enough not to die, threw their weapons to the ground, knelt in the woods in rows, and surrendered and begged for their lives.

Chu Weiyang was very embarrassed, walking around with a spear in his hand, babbling: "Spare your life? It's impossible to spare your life! Your Majesty said that bandits are bandits, all wolves that can't be fed, and they can't be merciful! When we set off, His Majesty made it clear that it was 'suppressing bandits', not 'recruiting peace'! ”

"You don't have to pretend here!" A woman in the crowd jumped out, pointed at his nose and scolded: "What do you want, you say!" ”

"I didn't ask for it, it was His Majesty who asked you to die!" Chu Weiyang spread his hands with an innocent expression, "Besides, even if I ask for something, what can you bandits give me?" Even if you want to make beauty tricks, beauty tricks are useless to me! ”

The more he chattered, the more unspeakable he became, and the woman was so angry that she picked up a short knife and threw it at him: "Less nonsense! Take me to your master! ”

"Hehe, let's talk about it earlier!" Chu Weiyang dodged away from the short knife, rubbed his hands and smiled slightly, "I thought that your beauty was going to use it on me, so you wanted to leave it to Ling Laosan?" Whether it's good or not, the beauty trick is useless to me, but it will definitely work for Ling Laosan, come on, I'll take you there! ”

After saying that, he turned around and led the woman all the way to the big tent of the cold night.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ye Han cooking porridge on the small stove, and the smile on his face almost dazzled Chu Weiyang's eyes.

"Ling Ling, Ling Ling, what's wrong with you? Silly? Chu Weiyang was terrified.

Ye Han raised his head and gave him a blank look, the smile on his face remained the same: "I'm not stupid." Say, what's the matter? ”

Chu Weiyang refused to say anything, so he took two steps back in fright and shook his head: "No, no, you're not Ling Laosan!" Have you been disguised? ”

Ye Han refused to pay attention to his stupid words, still lowered his head to look at the stove, and said casually: "If you have nothing to do, go out, don't talk here and make my daughter-in-law sleep." ”

"Yo-" Chu Weiyang let out an exclamation, and then laughed: "Your daughter-in-law?" I understand, I understand, I also said why you laughed like a fool, it turned out that you tasted the sweetness at your daughter-in-law! ”

Ye Han raised his head violently and glared at him angrily: "You have something to say, get out of here!" ”

Only then did Chu Weiyang realize that he was indeed very unpopular, so he had to laugh twice, and turned around to beckon the female bandit in: "Yaoyao, Ling Laosan, you are very blessed, first there is the Qingyang County Lord who is thousands of miles with you, and now there is a beautiful female bandit who wants to make a beauty trick on you, I really envy others......

"Get out!" Ye Han simply and neatly ordered the eviction of customers.

"Great!" Chu Weiyang didn't hesitate at all, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ye Han glanced back at behind the curtain and saw that there was no movement, and then looked back at the woman at the door: "How could the fifth child hand over the Zhenwu Army to a woman?" Who are you? ”

"Your Highness didn't hand over the True Martial Army to me." The woman said coldly, "It's just that the Zhenwu Army is a waste, and you killed him as soon as he showed up." ”

Ye Han smiled: "That's really too wasteful." ”

The woman's face was expressionless, and her delicate little face tightened: "I am Your Highness's maidservant, and I was ordered to come to oversee the army, and I didn't expect such a thing to happen." ”

Ye Han nodded in understanding: "In the past few days, your battles have been good. I didn't expect that there would be a strange girl like you by my fifth brother's side. ”

"But I still lost, and I have the deep grace of His Highness." The woman's expression was gloomy and she gritted her teeth.

The night cold fanned the stove, laughing and not speaking.

If the Northwest Army, which has been fighting for many years and crawling out of the bloody battles, is defeated at the hands of a servant girl, then it will be a big deal. Even if most of the people below are private soldiers raised by King Qing, then he can't afford to lose this person!

The night is in a good mood, and he laughs while fanning the stove. The woman couldn't bear it, and stepped forward and said urgently: "Now that we have surrendered, what are you going to do to spare those people's lives?" ”

"Don't forgive." Ye Han said lightly: "This king is going to dig a pit and bury them all." By the way, that includes you, too. ”

"Bury me," the woman knelt down heavily, "bury them!" His Royal Highness King Li, you are a hero and the protector of Nanqi! No hero has made a name for himself by killing innocents, and you can't do that! ”

Ye Han raised his head to look at her, with a gentle expression: "You have always been doing indiscriminate killing of innocents. This king kills you, and he does it to the people. ”

The woman didn't answer for a long time, and only the charcoal fire in the stove crackled in the big tent.

The porridge in the pot was already boiling very thick, and the night cold latte hook flicked the coals, took the small pot and put it aside, and began to roast the meat again.

The big tent was suddenly filled with fragrance.

"His Royal Highness!" The woman finally could no longer maintain her arrogance, and knelt forward and fell to the ground, with a cry in her words: "The slave does not believe that you are a cruel person! The soldiers are just following orders, and it's not their fault! Please forgive them, slaves and maids are at the disposal of Your Highness! ”

"How many people are left in the True Martial Army?" Ye Han asked.

The woman wiped a handful of tears and hurriedly said, "Your Highness's Zhenwu army has about 30,000 people, and more than 8,600 are stationed here...... There are less than six thousand left. ”

"Six thousand," Ye Leng analyzed quietly, "a few more battles are enough, and continuing to be bandits is enough to save a disaster." It's not that this king doesn't want to spare your lives, but he doesn't dare to keep them. ”

"Your Highness!" The woman was so anxious that she kowtowed, "The slave can guarantee that they will not dare to make trouble again...... As long as His Highness spares their lives, they can disband on the spot and go home to farm......"

Ye Han threw the half of the rabbit roasted in his hand into the plate next to him, raised his head, and said coldly: "Girl, begging for mercy has to look like begging for mercy, your attitude makes this king very embarrassed." ”

The woman was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears: "Then what do you want?" Can you chop me? ”

"Okay." Ye Han immediately responded.

The woman froze.

Ye Han looked at her with a cold expression: "Since I am here to beg for mercy, I must be prepared for life and death." From the moment you kneel on the battlefield, your life is the king's, and let this king hear the name of your old master from your lips again. ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly bowed her head and said yes.

Ye Han said again: "All those who surrender will be incorporated into the Northwest Army, and they will no longer be involved with the Jin Palace." If there are two ends of the first rat, the whole family will be punished. What do you think? ”

"But," the woman looked up suddenly, "the True Martial Army is the palace...... It was trained by the King of Jin on the orders of His Majesty, how could he be incorporated into the Northwest Army......"

Ye Han didn't answer, just looked at her coldly.

The woman trembled in fright and hurriedly bowed her head: "Slave ...... The slave and the maid have overpassed. ”

Ye Han waited until she fell to the ground and shivered before she spoke again, and said coldly: "You can go back and tell those people that it's still too late to kill yourself at this moment." Once the word 'surrender' is uttered, either obey the incorporation or ambush the whole clan, and the Northwest Army does not say that it will not kill the prisoners. ”

"The slave knows," the woman said, criing in a suppressed voice, "everything is up to Your Highness." ”

Ye Han stringed the other half of the rabbit and put it on the fire, and smiled: "That's very good." The matter of the people below is settled, and now it's time to talk about you. ”

"Me?!" The woman looked up, "I...... The slave knows that she is guilty, and she does not dare to ask His Highness to spare her life, and she is willing to beg for death! ”

"You can die," Ye Han smiled, "what about your family?" The Liu family in Sangyu Lane on the outskirts of Beijing, will everyone die with you? ”

The woman's face changed drastically: "You...... How do you know?! ”

This is a redundant question. To know is to know, and how to know what's important.

Ye Han didn't come to fight with his eyes closed, he knew that the "bandits" here were pretended to be real martial artists under the command of King Jin, and of course he knew the origin of the woman in the bandit team.

His "knowing" is fatal to the prey in the cage.

The woman could no longer maintain her composure, and couldn't help crying: "The slave maid's family didn't help the Jin Wangfu to do things, they are innocent!" His Royal Highness King Li, the slaves and maids have died without complaint, and I ask His Highness to be gracious......"

"This king is not gracious," Ye Han interrupted her impatiently, "You will be treated the same as those below, either you will surrender to this king, or the whole clan will be wiped out." ”

The importance of the lives of the whole clan and their loyalty to the old lord seemed to be a matter of choice that did not require hesitation.

But the woman hesitated for a long time, and she didn't make a decision until Ruan Qingzhi couldn't bear to come out from behind the curtain.

Ye Han saw the curtain moving, and hurriedly stood up, with a smile on his face: "Why did you get up?" Woke you up? ”

"I smell the scent!" Ruan Qingzhi yawned, walked over and pounced on the rabbit meat on the plate: "Who grilled it?" You? ”

Ye Han smiled and nodded: "Of course." Taste the craft of being a husband. ”

"Phew!" Ruan Qingzhi grimaced at him, "No shame! Where are you going, you're 'husband'? ”

Ye Han laughed: "You personally asked your father for this marriage, and now you have been with you for thousands of miles, why do you have to deny it at this time?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't deny it, she was busy nibbling on rabbit meat.

Ye Han hurriedly served porridge for her and handed it over, and said gently: "Drink porridge first." The doctor said, you haven't eaten well in the past few days, and you are not allowed to eat too much rabbit meat. ”

Ruan Qingzhi just nibbled on the meat and ignored him.

So Ye Han looked at the woman on the ground again: "Haven't thought about it yet?" ”

The woman suddenly raised her head and blurted out, "Slave maid...... Willing to serve His Highness! ”

Ruan Qingzhi nibbled on a mouthful of rabbit meat and suddenly couldn't chew it.

She simply swallowed her heart, looked up at the woman, then at Ye Han, and asked with her eyes: What is going on?

New sisters?

Ye Han understood the meaning in her eyes, stood up in fright, and said angrily to the woman: "This king doesn't want you to 'serve', but wants you to 'surrender'!" Don't you understand?! ”

The woman was startled, and hurriedly prostrated herself and kowtowed: "The slave is willing to surrender!" ”

Ye Han sat down heavily, his anger still lingering, and he was reluctant to speak for a long time.

Ruan Qingzhi was not in the mood to eat at this time, so he simply put the roast rabbit in his hand back on the plate, squinted his eyes and looked at the woman: "I can lead the troops to fight again, I have the backbone and courage, and I look very good, it's a pity to be a servant!" I heard that King Jin has a few very powerful women around him, who are both loyal subordinates and proud concubines, so you should be one of them, right? ”

"Yes." The woman bowed her head and admitted, "The slave maid is the person of the King of Jin, and it is inconvenient to serve His Royal Highness King Li, so ......"

"So you are willing to continue to serve in the army and be in charge of the Zhenwu Army after the incorporation?" Ye Han asked.

The woman was stunned.

Continue, serve in the army?

She wasn't a favorite of King Li, so she would never remain an Overseer who wasn't in the military. What kind of medicine is sold in Liwang gourd?

Ye Han didn't let her guess, and explained clearly: "There has never been a female commander in the Northwest Army, but this king thinks that it doesn't hurt to make an exception once in a while." ”

"Your Highness!" The woman was overjoyed, "Bi'er will not fail in her mission!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi frowned again.

Ye Han hurriedly said: "Change the name!" ”

"Yes!" The woman hurriedly bowed her head again, "Please give your name to Your Highness." ”

Ruan Qingzhi pursed his lips: "Let you be the female commander, and not let you be a slave, what name do you give?" Don't you have a name yourself? ”

The woman was expressionless and refused to answer, and Ye Han smiled and said: "This king remembers that your name was Wu'er when you were in your mother's house, and you will still be called Liu Wuniang in the future." ”

Liu Wuniang bowed her head to accept the order, and then straightened her waist, her back straight, and she really had the demeanor of a female commander.

Ruan Qingzhi glanced at her, then lowered his head and drank porridge and stopped talking.

Ye Han handed her half of the freshly roasted rabbit, instructed her to "eat slowly", and then waved his hand to Liu Wuniang: "You go and help Chu Weiyang deal with the acquisition matters." Now that you have joined the Northwest Army, you are a person in the Northwest Army, and you must learn the military minutes again, and you can no longer be as casual as when you were a bandit. ”

Liu Wuniang took the order and stood up, but there was some hesitation at her feet: "Your Highness, you ...... Don't ask about King Jin? ”

Ye Han shook his head and stopped answering, got up and walked to the side to wash his hands, and came back to help Ruan Qingzhi tear the meat on the half of the rabbit's leg next to him and put it on the plate, and said with a smile: "Don't gnaw so fiercely, I will suspect that you are trying to gnaw me." ”

Liu Wuniang finally retreated silently.

Ruan Qingzhi listened to her walking away, and immediately threw down the bones in his hand and pouted: "What a skilled and empathetic female commander!" - Why didn't you let her explain everything about Ling Shuang? Afraid of her embarrassment? ”

"It's not." Ye Han patiently explained to her, "It's her good to be loyal to the old master, and I don't want to ruin her goodness." ”

Ruan Qingzhi's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and he held back for a long time and asked: "Aren't you afraid that she will be too loyal to the old master and finally put your Northwest Army in?" ”

Ye Han shook his head: "She doesn't have that ability." I don't ask her because I'm confident enough that I know everything she knows. ”

Ruan Qingzhi wanted to laugh at him for being "overconfident", but he didn't open his mouth because he felt bored, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Ye Han looked at her amusefully and narrowed his eyes: "What are you?" Jealous? ”

Ruan Qingzhi immediately blew his hair and almost didn't jump up: "Who is jealous?" Which eye did you see me jealous?! I'll tell you in the cold night, don't talk about it! I'm in a bad temper! ”

"Yes, I see." Ye Han agreed very seriously, but he couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ruan Qingzhi was so angry that he simply stood up again, and circled: "You actually said that I was jealous...... How could I be jealous of a female bandit! She is a woman of Lingshuang, even if she is not now, it is not good for you to be a brother and a daughter-in-law, right? I'm jealous...... What kind of vinegar do I eat! ”

"I see, you're not jealous." Ye Han said sincerely.

Ruan Qingzhi spun around a few times and sat back heavily, his mouth pursed high.

Ye Han looked at her and smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, I swear to you, I really don't mean anything else!" She was left because the Zhenwu Army was quite loyal to the fifth brother, and the sudden incorporation would definitely encounter a lot of resistance, and they had to have their own people to cooperate. ”

Ruan Qingzhi understood this truth when he thought about it, but it was one thing to understand the truth or not, and it was another thing to feel comfortable or uncomfortable.

Ye Han also understood this, so he was very helpless when he saw Ruan Qingzhi's aggrieved appearance, so he had to explain again: "This time, there are too many people in the Zhenwu Army surrender, and they can't really kill them all." If you want to surrender, you have to make them sincerely obey, otherwise once one or two escape, our four thousand soldiers will be exposed in front of people. When the time comes, I can't tell the origin of the soldiers under my command, and there will inevitably be people in the court who are suspicious of Qingwangfu, so we will not be able to get involved with the Qingwangfu case again. ”

Ruan Qingzhi remembered that he still had such a concern, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Ye Han pulled her hands and rubbed them in her palms, and sighed with a smile: "The real Northwest Army is not here, it is not easy for me to go all the way and integrate all the way, and I don't know if the newly incorporated ones are easy to use or not." I'm going to take them to fight the Zhenwu army elsewhere in two days, and if I don't get it right, they may come back to fight me...... You don't know that you feel sorry for me. ”

Ruan Qingzhi was originally very sad by him, but when he heard that he started to be coquettish again, he immediately gave him another slap in the face: "If Your Royal Highness King Li can't even solve this little thing, you will be the commander of the Northwest Army for nothing!" ”

Yehan didn't get the comfort of his daughter-in-law, he was very disappointed, and responded "yes" aggrievedly.

Ruan Qingzhi was amused by him, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's not easy to know you!" His Royal Highness King Li has worked hard, His Royal Highness King Li has thought thoroughly, His Royal Highness King Li has worked hard every day, and the county lord is deeply moved, and swears that he will never be jealous, and he will never make trouble with you because of jealousy, okay? ”

"Not really," Ye Han thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's good for you to eat a little vinegar once in a while." ”

Ruan Qingzhi snorted, refusing to give him this face.

Ye Han was not annoyed, turned around and took the ointment from the small table next to her to wipe her hands, and laughed at herself: "How can there be such a poor man as this king in the world, who can't ask his daughter-in-law to be jealous!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi raised her chin and arrogantly said that she would not bother to do such a childish and useless stupid thing as jealousy.

After that, I added in my heart: I missed a word yesterday, and you can't wait to your tail to the sky, where do I dare to let you know that I am jealous!

Ye Han saw through her careful thoughts, and did not reveal it, and after adding charcoal to the furnace, he got up and asked with a smile: "Do you want to go and see our Northwest Army together?" ”

The 100 or so people in the Northwest Army have nothing to look at, but what you can see are the private soldiers who originally belonged to the Qingwang Mansion and the Zhenwu Army that is being incorporated at the moment.

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head, frowning: "I still think you need to interrogate Liu Wuniang." Not to mention, I suspect that King Jin knows more about the plague seventeen years ago than we do. ”

Ye Han was about to leave, but when he heard this, he turned back: "That incident, my father himself is more nervous than anyone else, and he will definitely not survive if he is not strict in his tone." Even if Lao Wu has someone from the hospital in his hands, he may not be able to ask anything. ”

"What if, what if he has in his hands the person who helped the emperor do this back then?" Ruan Qingzhi stood up.

Ye Han's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?" What do you perceive? ”

Ruan Qingzhi briefly explained Chu Shen's matter, and then found the letterhead in the secret compartment of the library building of the Tai Hospital and handed it to him: "Ling Shuang said that he knew about this matter. Chu Shen followed him all the way, and he would definitely tell him more details, maybe there would be evidence or something......"

Ye Han took the letterhead and read it, his brows furrowed tightly.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at his face and asked carefully, "It's tricky, isn't it?" ”

"It's tricky," Ye Han gave her back the letterhead, "and it's weird." ”

Ruan Qingzhi was puzzled.

Ye Han pulled her to sit down, muttered for a long time, and still shook his head: "No." Chu Shen shouldn't be that kind of person. ”

Ruan Qing suddenly jumped up: "You said before that you never looked at the wrong person, what did you say this time?" Chu Shen is not that kind of person? He's clearly here to bully me, and you still don't believe it...... Do you not believe me? ”

Ye Han held her down and sighed, "It's not that I don't believe you." I believe you that Chu Shen is tyrannical and deceitful, but it doesn't seem like he was willing to do such a thing as spreading plague and killing the people. ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't know much about Chu Shen, so he couldn't refute it for a while, and thought for a while before muttering, "However, bad guys don't have it written on their faces." My father also gave birth to an honest and dutiful face, who would have thought that he would sacrifice such a poisonous plan to the emperor? ”

Ye Han can't answer this question either.

The two of them thought silently for a while, and Ye Han spoke: "In this way, I will find another opportunity to deceive Liu Wuniang and see if I can find out." This matter is too implicated, and I am afraid that she will not say it if you ask her directly. ”

Ruan Qingzhi pursed his lips and said nothing.

Ye Han hurriedly raised his hand to beg for mercy: "That's it, I'm not going!" I let Chu Weiyang go, how? ”

Ruan Qingzhi sneered: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you go, why are you so nervous?" You don't have a ghost in your heart, and you still need to be weak in your heart to do the right thing? ”

"My heart is weak...... What do I have to be ill-intentioned! "The night was cold and devastating.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at him with such an embarrassed look, and couldn't stop laughing.

Ye Han suddenly understood her thoughts, and was angry and funny: "You just make trouble, sooner or later I will be afraid of you!" ”

"Why, you're not afraid of me now?" Ruan Qingzhi exclaimed.

Ye Han suddenly realized that he had fallen into the trap again, and with a wail, he turned around and ran outside.
