Chapter 144: Changing Husbands
(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) )
Xu Ji felt that this battle was fought in a disorderly manner, and the formation he had worked so hard to maintain was torn apart as soon as he entered the battlefield, but fortunately, the officers and soldiers were greedy for merit and rushed to the war, and they came to the war before they had a stable foothold, which was also chaotic.
After nightfall, Xu Ji didn't even see the officers and soldiers again, he was very tired, but it was the result of trekking in the snow, not too much force when he fought bravely to kill the enemy.
The officers and men retreated with a sound of cymbals and regrouped at a suitable location.
I don't know who gave the order on the rebel side, and it soon spread all over the battlefield, saying that King Ning ordered the retreat, so they also withdrew from the battlefield.
Xu Ji was a little embarrassed, because he stabbed two generals before the battle, but when he arrived on the battlefield, he did not kill any enemy, one was that the snow was deep and difficult to walk, and the other was that Tang Weitian was in front of him, so that he could not get the knife.
But in the eyes of all the soldiers, King Wu is a "ruthless character", especially those seconded soldiers, the awe has increased dramatically, as long as they hear "King Wu is here", immediately follow up.
On the way back to the camp, Xu Ji met Ning Baoguan.
Ning Baoguan came to the front and looked at him twice, only said "King Wu has courage", and led his subordinates away.
Just such a four-word evaluation made the soldiers of Wu Jun excited.
Back in the camp and lighting a fire, Xu Ji was surprised to find that his armor was stained with blood, and he didn't know where it came from.
He did not go into his tent to rest, but re-set up the camp, guarded by men, rested, and made fires and food.
The generals have never accepted orders so simply, sometimes Xu Ji just raised his hand, and the generals on the opposite side took the initiative to ask to do this and that, without the slightest excuse.
After counting the number of people, Xu Ji's heart sank, the number of casualties was more than he expected, including several generals, he had to replace them immediately, and then ordered each team to send people out to retrieve the corpses outside the camp.
Busy until midnight, Xu Ji finally ate a bite of cold rice, washed up a little, and prepared to go back to the tent to rest.
Tomorrow is likely to be another hard battle, the soldiers who have just reached a draw with the officers and soldiers are elated, thinking that victory is just around the corner, but Xu Ji knows that if the officers and soldiers are unwilling to go to attack the army of the world, the alliance of the five kings will be defeated.
In front of the tent door, Xu Ji said to Tang Weitian: "You can also go and rest." ”
"I'm not tired." Tang Weitian's double knives have been invalidated, only the stick on his waist remains, trying to straighten his body, and it looks like he can fight again.
"Eat and sleep more, tomorrow will be when you are tired." Xu Ji said with a smile.
Tang Weitian had no choice but to go to the tent next door, and saw more than a dozen guards guarding outside the tent of the Metropolitan Governor, so he went to sleep steadily.
It was pitch black in the tent, Xu Ji fumbled for the light, and a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him, startling him, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold the knife, and was about to open his mouth to call the guards, when a person on the opposite side said quietly: "King Wu is scared of the slave family." ”
There was an extra woman in the tent, in her twenties, with a beautiful face, wearing a mink robe, not like the daughter of an ordinary family.
Xu Ji looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one else, he let go of the handle of the knife, "Who are you?" ”
"The slave family is the person of King Wu."
"Guards!" Xu Ji said loudly, not to entangle with the woman.
"I am the wife of Xiao Liu Mazi, and now I am a widow." Woman.
One of the guards came in and glanced at the woman, showing no surprise.
"Send Mrs. Liu back." Xu Ji said coldly.
"Yes." The guards came in and stood in the doorway in a gesture of please.
The woman did not leave, but sat down, looked at the burning wick, and said, "King Wu dares to kill the generals, but he does not dare to listen to a few words from his family?" ”
"General Liu left the camp without telling him, and you entered the account without telling him, both of them are guilty of the same crime."
"Please King Wu slash and kill the slave family with a knife, and let our husband and wife reunite underground."
"Nian is not a soldier of the Wu army, and you will not be punished for the time being." Xu Ji turned his head to the guards and said, "Who let her in?" ”
"I don't know." The guards were innocent.
The woman under the lamp showed a charming smile, "King Wu doesn't have to pursue it, the slave family is here to beg King Wu for mercy." ”
Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, "I have already said that I will not cure your crimes." General Liu's crime was stopped, and his family was not affected. ”
"Unimplicated? Why are those who have lost their husbands taken as wives? Why are people who have neither grace nor money sent out of the camp to block the officers and soldiers? ”
Xu Ji was speechless for a while, "I can...... Send someone to protect you, is there anyone else in the family? Xu Ji said not very sincerely.
"King Wu sent someone to protect the slave family, is it because I am King Wu's person?"
"Huh?"
"If you are not a slave who is your person, what reason is it to protect the slave? It's not good to spread out. ”
"The Wu army will protect all the people."
"The slave family has heard that it was King Wu who sent the people back to the back camp and did not let them block the officers and soldiers. But the slave family is not an ordinary person, and general protection is useless. ”
"You're not ordinary?"
"The slave family is from Qinzhou, surnamed Feng, with the small character Ju Niang, and has changed ten husbands in two years."
"Ten?" Xu Ji was taken aback.
Feng Juniang said with a smile: "The people of troubled times, life and death are impermanent, the slave family has had ten husbands, and the number of people who want to rob me is twice as much, so as soon as the slave family heard that Xiao Liu Mazi was killed, they knew that they would have an eleventh husband again." ”
Xu Ji was speechless.
"It's better to be robbed by yourself, the slave family has been waiting here for a long time, and from today on, King Wu is the husband of the slave family."
"I have a wife, you can go back."
"The eldest husband has three wives and four concubines, and the slave family doesn't want to be a princess, why should King Wu refuse?"
Xu Ji shook his head, and was about to order the guards to take the woman away, Feng Juniang said again: "If King Wu is willing to leave the slave family, the slave family will forget the ten husbands in front of him and concentrate on serving King Wu alone." ”
"Until I'm killed?"
Feng Juniang said with a smile: "Have fun in time, why should King Wu think so far?" If King Wu is unlucky, how can he lose more than the slave family? ”
"What if I don't keep you?"
Feng Juniang looked down and said coldly: "That slave family is still the widow of Xiao Liu Mazi, lonely and helpless, and has been bullied, as long as she has a breath, she will avenge her deceased husband." ”
"Revenge?" Xu Ji admired this woman's courage a little, but he didn't believe that she really had the ability to take revenge.
Feng Juniang sighed lightly, "I don't have a choice, the slave family has to go to King Ning and King Liang for advice, King Ning is the commander of the whole army, and King Liang is the lord of Xiao Liu Mazi, so I have to say something and do something." ”
Xu Ji was stunned again, he knew that Ning Baoguan would not be anything, but Ma Wei's side was indeed a big trouble.
Feng Juniang turned her head slightly and glanced at the guards at the door, "Have you heard my name?" ”
"Hmm." Empress Wei awkwardly admitted.
"There are many women in the camp, Feng Juniang can be called the leader?"
The guard became more and more embarrassed, and said directly: "King Wu should leave her, the rules in the army have always been like this, let her go, I don't know how much trouble it will cause." ”
Feng Juniang smiled again, "Xiao Liu Mazi still didn't forget to look at me before the battle, King Wu can think about it, is the slave family more troublesome, or more benefits?" ”
"It's a lot of trouble." Xu Ji felt a headache now, but he didn't say these three words, thought for a while, and said: "You stay, clean up the bed for me, be a maid for the time being, and I will find you another husband in a few days." ”
The guards did not wait for orders and immediately exited the tent.
No matter what Xu Ji says, it just means to others.
"Okay." Feng Juniang's understanding was the same as that of the guards, and she yawned, "King Wu, is this going to rest?" The slave family made the bed. ”
"Who else is in Xiao Liu Mazi's family?"
Feng Juniang frowned slightly, as if she had to calculate quite laboriously, "He also has three wives, one is uglier than the other, and at this time they should all belong to others, they originally had concubines." ”
Xu Ji almost wanted to ask Feng Juniang if she had a concubine, but after thinking about it, she still held back.
"Well, he doesn't have a father, I don't know if he is dead, or he was thrown somewhere, there are a few children, all of them are the same as him, with pockmarks on their faces, the most fortunate thing for the slave family is that he did not give birth to children, and the slave family has not raised anyone for life."
"I sent someone to pick up Xiao Liu Mazi's children...... What are you laughing at? ”
"It is said that King Wu is the son of a great general, and after the famous family, it is really ...... Unlike others. ”
Xu Ji heard that this was mockery, "What are the rules here?" I shouldn't take care of Xiao Liu Mazi's children? ”
"Xiao Liu Mazi has his own relatives and friends, and his children are adopted by them, and it depends on his luck whether he is doing well or not. King Wu killed his father and adopted his son, what would others think? ”
"What do you think?"
"Of course, I thought that King Wu was going to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so that not only Xiao Liu Mazi's family was afraid, but even his relatives and friends were also afraid, and the people in the army were complicated, and one person was afraid, which could cause thousands of people to tremble."
Xu Ji became more and more surprised, he thought that Feng Juniang was just a woman who sought glory with sex, but he didn't expect her to think so clearly and talk quite well.
"So I can't do anything? Wouldn't it be a cause for criticism to take you in? ”
"Of course, some people will definitely say that King Wu killed Xiao Liu Mazi in order to win Feng Juniang, but no one will be afraid of this, and no one will think that King Wu is doing something wrong, because-" Feng Juniang leaned over slightly, letting the light illuminate half of the delicate face, "There is only one Feng Juniang in the world, and it is natural for King Wu to fight, if King Wu does not fight, King Ning and King Liang will also fight, sooner or later." ”
Xu Ji laughed, turned around and walked out of the tent, and said to one of the guards: "Let her stay here, she is not allowed to go out." ”
"Yes." The guard glanced into the tent, but saw nothing, but felt a pair of flattering eyes sweep by, and the hairs on his back stood on end.
Xu Ji walked into the tent next door, Tang Weitian fell asleep with a stick, snoring like thunder, he said that he was not tired, but he slept deeper than usual.
Xu Ji snatched a blanket from Tang Weitian's body, wrapped it around his body, and slept on the mat, thinking that he would be disturbed by the sound of snoring, but he fell asleep after closing his eyes for a while, and he didn't even have a dream.
I don't know how long I slept, Xu Ji woke up suddenly, rolled over, put on his boots and walked out of the tent.
There was just a glimmer of light in the sky, and the camp was very quiet, the fires were mostly extinguished, the green smoke rose into the air, and the guards were changed, guarding the two tents.
The officers and soldiers did not take advantage of the night to sneak attack, Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, returned to his tent, and saw that Feng Juniang was sleeping on his bed, so he lightly took a few pieces of clothing, went outside to change them, and went to the watchtower to check the situation outside the camp.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the camp of the officers and soldiers is not far from here, spanning more than ten miles, and surrounds the camp of the righteous army in a fan-shape.
Xu Ji's heart sank again, the general obviously had no plan, if the officers and soldiers were not led away, let alone attack the eastern capital, even the plan of the flanking attack would be in vain.
