Chapter 40: The Wounded Man
In the back wing room of the Jiuzhen City County Guard's Mansion, Xie Yanran was resting in the room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe women in Jiuzhen City are all women who have been hurt, and the women in Jiuzhen City who were looking for Xie Yanran at the beginning have been sent away after General Huban came, and at this time, the two maids brought by General Human are waiting for Xie Yanran, who is in a somewhat gloomy mood.
Today is the day when the army goes out, and General Human, who leads 13,000 troops to Jiude, regains the two counties in Japan. Xie Qing also followed.
"Stand down, you don't need to wait."
Xie Yanran turned around, gave up, and let the two maids retreat. Soon, she was the only one left in the empty room.
"Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving."
Xie Yanran picked up a pen and wrote this sentence on a piece of silk, and the slender handwriting made the poems on the silk more charming. I raised my head and glanced at the riding clothes I wore on the day I returned to the city, which I had carefully put away and placed neatly at the head of the bed. Xie Yanran's heart was full of love.
Her nephew Xie Qing has been persuading her to go back to Jianye and not to take the dangerous Jiaozhou with her, and she also wants to leave this sad place. But she knew she couldn't go. Xu Qing'er's eyes when she died tortured her every night, and if she didn't finish what Lu He had explained, she would live in Lu He's shadow forever, although she knew that if Lu He didn't die, she would be controlled by Lu He for the rest of her life.
Lu He asked her to humiliate Feng Junyan fiercely, asked her to help Lin Yi mediate, and asked her to help Feng Junyan become the patriarch as soon as possible, before everything was completed, she couldn't leave, and she didn't dare to go. The humiliating thing is simple, the difficult thing is how to save his life. Nephew Xie Qing has said more than once that she wants to nip everything in the bud, if she hadn't insisted on not being able to take revenge, Feng Junyan and the others would have had an accident by now.
So in the past month, she didn't know how to face everything, so she could only stay in the county guard every day, waiting for everything to end, until today, when the army went out.
The experience in the past few months has changed Xie Yanran's personality a lot. The facts tell her that not all places are as prosperous as Jianye, and not everyone will look up to her because she is the daughter of the Xie family. The huge gap made her, who was not silent in her original personality, become silent.
Xie Yanran did not forget the first man who dared to despise himself, although he was a little younger than himself, but Feng Junyan's disgusting appearance was still firmly remembered by Xie Yanran.
"Although you invited me to eat a meal of fish, you invited me to eat it on your own initiative, not to mention that the fish is really hard to eat; Although you put on socks for me and shoes for me in order to heal my feet, it was your fault that your feet were sprained, and you took off your shoes and socks; You walked for me, but you touched my feet, touched my chest, turned my back, and dragged my ass without my consent. I took a bite out of you, but you brought it on yourself. Who told you not to take me seriously, who told you to take advantage of me everywhere, do you think I can be light and thin at will? I'm telling you, that's not enough, I'm going to take revenge on you and let you know what happened if you offended me! I haven't forgotten you, a hateful disciple."
Xie Yanran picked up the brocade silk that had written the poem and said to herself hatefully. No one has ever dared to do that to me, and it is best to die on the road on this expedition. Tian She'er, hillbilly, why do you look down on me.
Feng Junyan was really pulled into the battlefield once, and he was specially allowed to join Feng Siji's team, which was very surprising to him.
As soon as the number of people exceeds 10,000, the whole team can't see the edge at a glance. For Lin Yi, the Han army's dissatisfaction with 10,000 and its invincibility is not a myth, but a real reality. Starting with the First Emperor, generation after generation of troops from the north have used one human life after another to tell them what despair is, so this time no one will think that the Jin army will not win.
Feng Junyan surprised that the army was the same, but when he saw the group of sergeants under Feng Siji, he realized that he was thinking too much. The clothes and armor are not repaired, the flags are not neat, except for the fierce body, there is no way to see the appearance of the army from their faces.
"Oh Father, are these your sergeants? Why do you look so down. ā
Feng Junyan, who was walking on the road, asked Feng Siji puzzled.
"Have you forgotten them? These are the same people I met on the road when I came, why don't you remember? ā
Feng Siji looked at Feng Junyan with some fun.
Feng Junyan turned his head and carefully observed the faces of these people, but he couldn't see any of these people's faces.
"Ah, Father is joking? When they came, in addition to those who were seriously injured and sent back, the rest of them have basically fallen under Jiuzhen City and are buried under the green mountains, so it is difficult to come back from the dead. ā
Feng Junyan disagreed with Feng Siji's words.
"Of course those people are dead, but there are more than those in the Jiaozhou army. Ah, Father told you a long time ago, they are a group of people, a big, big group of people. The original team is dead, but there are still some people and some teams that are not. Now these people in front of you are the same group, the last bit of strength they have left. ā
Feng Junyan looked at the team behind him and was also overwhelmed, thinking that he could lead the well-equipped Jin army, but he didn't expect that it was actually a group of outcasts. After most of his military career, how could Feng Siji not understand that although these people also belonged to the regular army, the imperial court would not give them the same supplies as other Jin troops. In other words, no one will care if they live or die. When Feng Siji, who was full of confidence that day, saw these people for the first time, his heart was directly cold. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for me to be an official this time.
"Is that the sinners from the north? Ah, Father, is it not a dead end for us to be with them? ā
Feng Junyan remembered that Liu Nianqi had a bad feeling when he first appeared, and the experience of these days told him that it was not a good thing for Feng Siji to be sent to manage these sharp soldiers.
Have we offended someone? Feng Junyan's consciousness turned sharply in his mind, and he filtered the people he had met one by one during this time. Feng Siji and Liu Nianqi's reward orders were given by Du Huiqi, the barbarian general, and now only Xie Qing can influence Du Huiqi in Jiuzhen City, and the only person he has offended recently is Xie Yanran. Thinking about it this way, the reason for one thing is also clear.
Although I don't know why Xie Yanran wants to take revenge on her, but when she thinks that now the four of them have been put in the Ruishi camp, which is the easiest to die, if she says that she has no ill will towards her four people, she will not believe it if she kills Feng Junyan. However, since she didn't kill people directly, it means that if they could live, they wouldn't have died. Thinking about it again, Feng Junyan felt a lot more relieved in his heart.
"Ah, Father, who are they?"
Feng Junyan asked what he had always doubted, Feng Siji, as the official in charge of these people, has been in office for a month, and he will definitely not know.
"These people are the old ones of the Northern Expedition, and after the failure of the Great Jin Dynasty several Northern Expeditions, many of them were exiled to Jiaozhou, except for those who were condemned. These are the descendants of the exiles. ā
Feng Siji looked at these subordinates of his own, all of whom were heroes, but now they ended up like this.
"Ah father, didn't my uncle say last time that these people are people who have returned from the north?"
Feng Junyan listened to Feng Siji's words but was puzzled, just how could the descendants of the Northern Expedition be exiled to Jiaozhou, the Northern Expedition that was approved at the beginning was not only Huan Wen Zuqi, many families also supported it, even if the Northern Expedition failed in the end, it was impossible to be remembered until now.
"Be careful, don't go into details. Ah, Father can only tell you that there is indeed Ran Wei here, but these things are not something we can participate in, so let's think about how to survive in the next few days. ā
Feng Siji obviously didn't want to talk about these things to his son, and Feng Junyan looked at the group of soldiers who were not in good clothes and armor and were not in good armor behind him, and felt sorry for them and for himself. Abandoned sons, abandoned sons, why can they watch these people die so much, watch us die? Where have we offended you people? What's wrong with us? What the hell are you guys!
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Du Huiqi, the general of the barbarian guard, was discussing the matter of marching.
"General Du first entered Wuxi, and then pacified the rebellion of the slang people in Jiaozhou, this time he smashed Linyi and recovered his homeland, and his great achievements were comparable to the horse Fubo in the past."
In the big tent of the Chinese army, after Du Huiqi, the general of the barbarian protector, decided the route of the march with his henchmen, after everyone left, Xie Qing stayed.
"This general is the emperor's grace, and guarding the land and herdsmen for His Majesty is just a matter of duty, how can it be compared to the horse leather shroud of General Fubo. However, Xie Junhou broke 100,000 with 4,000, and this kind of record reminds people of the former Dongshan Jun Yu Weishui. ā
Everyone carried the sedan chair, Xie Qing gave him face, and Du Huiqi certainly gave Xie Qing face. Although he is the head snake of Jiaozhou, there is nothing the Xie family can do with him in Jiaozhou, but the Xie family's face must be given after all.
"This time I rushed to help Jiuzhen, I never thought that Li Xun's rebellion would take the opportunity to make trouble and lead the slang people to rebel, but it took a little more effort."
When Du Huiqi remembered the riot, his heart was on fire, Li Xun's rebellion was quelled by his father Du Ai, and Du Ai sat in the position of Jiaozhou Assassin because of this incident, and his brother inherited the position of Assassin after his Du Ai died. And he also held the military power of the entire Jiaozhou in his hands. It can be said that the entire Jiaozhou is under the control of the Du family, and I never thought that the Li family's rebellion would dare to come out to stir up the wind and rain.
"Why does Xie Junhou care so much about the head of this district this time?"
Du Huiqi remembered that when he was discussing the march just now, Xie Qing took special care of the sinners in his hands, and couldn't help but be curious. As a group of people who are unstable in their hands, Du Huiqi naturally knows where these people come from. The big guys in Jianye wanted to kill all these people, so they got them to Jiaozhou and left them to fend for themselves. He doesn't care about the thoughts of those adults in Jianye, although he also admires these heroes, but after all, there are only hundreds of people, and Du Huiqi, who doesn't want to provoke big people because of a trivial matter, has always been good at not making trouble with these people. Now that Xie Qing wants these people, he is also happy to sell his favors.
"Qing just doesn't want a hero to die in the field."
Xie Qing listened to Du Huidu's words, but his face was sacred.
Lying is also too obvious, every war first. It was clear that they were sent to death and said it so high-soundingly, Du Huiqi was a little disdainful when he remembered the way Xie Qing asked them to kill more enemies just now. I don't know how these four people offended him, but these little things, he just asked curiously, and he didn't say much. The two tacitly changed the subject.
