Chapter Ninety-Three: I'd Rather Die Than Give In
Next to the riverside trestle, facing a bitter scene that had just been staged, the 'well-informed' Yu Wenwen was excited, because of a story he wanted to see.
Oriental, at the end of the Heian period, the Taira clan and the Genji fell in love and killed each other, Genji's military genius Gen Yoshitsune repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and later the merit was high and the Lord pursued and killed his brother Gen Yorito, and Gen Yoshitsune took his servants to disguise themselves and absconded to avoid pursuit.
One day, when passing through the checkpoint, he was inspected by the defenders, and Gen Yoshitsune aroused the suspicion of the other party because he accidentally exposed his flaws, and his retainer Musashibo Benkei was in a hurry, pretending to be the master to reprimand Gen Yoshitsune, a 'servant'.
Normally, no servant dares to treat his master like this, so the defenders think that Yuan Yijing is a servant, not a noble wanted criminal, so they no longer suspect it, in fact, the checkpoint guard has already seen it, but he is grateful that the actions of the loyal servant and savior have not been broken, and Yuan Yijing and his party have been able to pass the test smoothly.
At this moment, Yu Wenwen also saw that the two in front of him were suspected of acting, so he was so moved that he decided to debunk the other party's identity, which is the so-called 'ten moves to refuse'!
"You, stand up and let the officer take a look."
The captive hesitated when he heard this, but finally stood up, and Yuwen Wen caught a glimpse of the strong man next to him who seemed to be a little nervous, and his heart was even more certain.
"What's your name and what do you do in the army?"
"The little ones are just handymen, and they are not worth mentioning," said the captive in a soft voice, keeping his head down.
'The clothes don't fit very well, and the back of his hands and neck are a little white, not like a person who works hard and suffers from the wind and sun,' Yu Wenwen thought, he looked the other party up and down and felt more and more playful.
Bastard, pretend to be a subordinate or a big-headed soldier, and remember to change into straw sandals, why are you wearing such stylish boots!
"You can't be called Chrysanthemum Langjun, right?" Yuwen said softly, he judged that the identity of the person in front of him was not low, and he couldn't be the general of Chen Jun, so he could also be called Chrysanthemum Langjun.
Who told you to be stabbed in the chrysanthemum by our army!
The captive didn't dare to answer when he heard this, but his head lowered, Yuwen Wen was about to laugh at why he was so 'girly' when he saw this, and when he thought of this, he suddenly felt a stirring in his heart: No!
How can a general who leads troops to fight a war have fine skin and tender flesh, and his skin is fair, and he will not be a woman dressed as a man, so his soul is dull!
Thinking of the incident of 'female generals dressed as men and being captured' that the majority of men like to see, Yu Wenwen suddenly felt that he was embarrassed.
Yu Wenwen didn't expect to meet a woman dressed as a man while watching the battle by the riverside, and his head couldn't turn for a while, he didn't remember any famous 'Jiangmen Tiger Girl' in the Southern Dynasty Chen Shi, and the 'Red Whisk Girl' could barely stand up.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, one of the three heroes of the Red Whisk Girl Zhang, according to legend, her father was General Chen, General Zhang died in Sui when he destroyed Chen, and then Zhang's mother was assigned to Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, as a slave, and Zhang, who dragged oil bottles, lived in Yang's mansion.
She grew up to become a courtesan in Yangfu, and was called the Red Whisk Girl because she held the red whisk dust, and one day Yang Su met with her junior Li Jing, and the Red Whisk Girl standing on the side took a fancy to this young talent and eloped with her.
"The age is not right" Yu Wenwen lost interest in an instant, Li Jing, the good spouse of the Red Whisk Girl, is still a minor, and the strange woman who is younger than Li Jing will not be the one in front of her.
"What are you doing with your head down, afraid to see people? Or are you afraid of being recognized? He said with a smile, and then ordered the other party to look up, and when he saw the man raise his head and take a closer look, Yuwenwen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that the eyebrows are clear, the appearance can only be said to be upright and not deformed, and the most important thing is that there is an Adam's apple, so it's not a woman, so it's even more interesting!
Yuwen Wen asked what the man was doing, and hung up to dry without saying a word, and the soldiers behind him also felt that something was wrong, and they all came up with knives and looked at the Chen army prisoners in front of them.
"The small ones are handymen, and they serve tea and water on weekdays."
"Serving tea? What kind of tea does your lord like to drink, how to prepare tea, what kind of water is water, whether to make tea or boil tea, how much tea cake to take at a time, how many dishes of water before serving tea, and what is used to carry tea"
Listening to this endless question, the man replied hesitantly, and when he answered the back, beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, but he had all asked and answered, seeing that Yu Wenwen was not 'abnormal', he just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief but heard this person continue to ask.
"Are you Lord Lang's personal entourage?"
"Yes"
"What are your husband's hobbies, what are your favorite clothes, the number of children in the family, who is the third in line, how many people are married, how many brothers are there, and how many are he in the family."
"Where is the mansion of the lord of your family, how much land is occupied, how many other courtyards are there, who is the housekeeper's surname, how many concubines are there, which one is the most favored, and who is she?"
"How many brothers do you have, how many are you ranked, where is your hometown, where is Ling Ci from, whether you have brothers, whether your uncle Gui Geng, and your brother-in-law have children."
Yuwen Wen asked a lot of questions, and the man answered them one by one, but sometimes he had to think about it before he spoke, so he was urged by Yuwen Wen to answer quickly from time to time, and it was easy to answer and even the people around him were relieved.
"I'll ask you again." Yu Wenwen opened his mouth and asked again, "Do you prepare tea for Lord Lang, is it brewed or boiled?" ”
"Yes boiling"
"You just said bubbles!" Yu Wenwen suddenly asked, the man's face changed and he said that he had made a mistake, and he was making tea.
Yu Wenwen asked him again what rank he was in the family, the man wiped his sweat and said that he was ranked third, Yu Wenwen retorted that you said that you were the fourth in the queue before, and seeing that the man was sweating profusely, he asked his brother-in-law how old Erlang was this year.
"It's twenty-four"
"You just said that your brother-in-law only has one son!"
When the man heard this, he was already flustered and sweating, and the 'master' beside him was about to open his mouth to defend when he saw this, but was held down by the soldiers of the Zhou army, Yuwen Wen looked at the man with a smile, and suddenly said after a while:
"I heard that your mother is a prostitute in Wuzhong Liquor Shop, and anyone can pay for it, so you can't say who your father is, right!"
The man was originally panicked, but after hearing this, his face turned red instantly, and he roared desperately: "Mother is just a slave in a wine shop, not a prostitute!! ”
When he said this, he was stunned, because he came back to his senses and knew that something was wrong, Yuwen Wen laughed when he heard this, and bowed: "It turned out to be the king of Changsha, and he was offended by Ling Ciduo, rude, rude!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the man's face changed, and several Chen army captives next to him rushed forward and were about to trap the beast fight, but the Zhou soldiers were already on guard, and they grabbed them and pressed them to the ground.
"If you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to kill, you will kill!" The man was pressed on the shoulder and shouted hoarsely, "Lone will not beg for mercy!" ”
Yuwen looked at the king of Changsha with interest, he felt that he was extremely lucky today, and he caught the commander of Chen Jun inexplicably, looking at the cramped uniform, he probably changed clothes and fled in the chaos of the army, but he didn't escape.
"Fortunately, this official Da Zhou Bazhou stabbed Shi Yu Wenwen." Yuwen Wen saluted again, "That one-legged bronze man is already hungry and thirsty. ”
"You, you're Yuwen Wen!" Chen Shujian's eyes widened when he heard this, he looked at the young man in front of him with some disbelief, the Yuwen Wen who made him grit his teeth and want to eat his flesh raw was actually in front of him.
Chen Shujian roared and wanted to rush forward to fight with Yuwenwen, but he was held down by the soldiers and couldn't move, he was like an angry lion but was locked in a cage, "Yuwenwen, you can't die well!" ”
"It's really worthy of the Chen family's species, you two brothers say exactly the same thing." Yuwen Wen's eyes narrowed with a smile, "King Shixing's expression appeared on the face of King Changsha again. ”
Chen Shujian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then stopped resisting, the one in front of him who killed his sworn enemy, Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing, killed a clan vassal king anyway, and now he has no scruples about killing him again King Changsha.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, now the autumn wind is rising on the edge of the lake, it is a good time for a decisive battle!" Yu Wenwen waved his hand, "Go, carry the one-legged bronze man, this official is going to fight a decisive battle with the king of Changsha on the shore of the lake!" ”
"Kill Lone, kill Lone, Lone will never beg you for mercy!!" Uncle Chen shouted hoarsely, his eyes were full of despair, he had no chance of living in the hands of this fang.
'So afraid of the one-legged bronze man, you can commit suicide, don't dare to kill yourself by chewing your tongue, and dare to play with me rather die than give in! Yu Wenwen complained in his heart, he was just scaring Chen Shujian, where did he have a one-legged bronze man, and he also lost a lot of eyes and related 'insiders', so that he could see through Chen Shujian's disguise.
At the beginning of this year, the emperor of Chen State, who was the king of Shixing when he was young, often went to Wuzhong to drink and have fun.
The slave's belly was also angry, pregnant with the blood of a nobleman, and later gave birth to a boy, so he was welcomed into the palace as Shuyi, and that boy was the fourth son of Chen Ji, the king of Shixing, named Chen Shujian.
This kind of partial historical information Yuwen Wen naturally did not know, and after 'detailed talks' with Chen Shuling, King of Shixing, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the other party revealed the life of Chen Shujian, the second rival.
Changsha King Chen Shujian's biological mother was from a humble background, so who dared to use this matter to provoke him was absolutely successful, even Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing, did not dare to provoke this topic at will, firstly, because his father was not good-looking, and secondly, the king of Changsha would really be mad.
Yuwenwen thought at first that the other party was a woman dressed as a man, and then guessed that it might be the king of the clan, but he warmed up first and asked questions, and finally released the fierce news, and this time he was really the master.
Seeing that Chen Shujian was going to die or die there and didn't dare to chew his tongue and commit suicide, Yu Wenwen had no interest in continuing, so he made a look and asked Chen Shujian and a few other captives to tie up, and then plug their mouths.
"It's not that this official doesn't pay attention to demeanor, it's really difficult to do," Yuwen Wen straightened Chen Shujian's neckline, "King of Changsha, do you know why this official doesn't go to command the water battle, but instead blows the wind by the river?" ”
Chen Shujian's mouth was blocked where he could speak, and he puffed his head to show his contempt for Yu Wenwen, but Yu Wenwen didn't care, and whispered in his ear: "With Zhou Envoy Jun commanding the water war, this official is naturally happy to be idle." ”
As soon as the words fell, Chen Shujian's face instantly turned pale, he knew who the other party specially emphasized that the 'Zhou Envoy Jun' was worth, his enemies Zhou Fashang and Yuwen Wen were in cahoots, and they must be the commander of the Zhou State Water Army this time.
"Immediately send someone to take a boat to find Zhou Zhijun, and say that the official has met his old man, and ask Zhou Zhijun to come over in person to catch up on the past." (To be continued.) )
