Chapter Forty-Seven: Persuading the King to Have a Glass of Wine (Part II)

The Seventh Prince came back very late, for some reason, he was drunk, all the generals came around silently, the big battle was imminent, but the commander returned drunk at night. In the eyes of so many veterans who are familiar with military affairs, this does not bode well. Since ancient times, wine can make mistakes, how many wise lords and generals have planted a heel on this thing, and it is impossible for the prince who has been tempered in the army to be free not to know, since he took over the handsome seal, there are thirteen generals who have been cut off on the spot due to alcoholism, and he has been so strict in governing the army that he will get drunk regardless of his duties, and the faces of all the generals are a little unsightly, it seems that this war is more auspicious than lucky. A bearded general gently took down the wine jug that was still in the prince's hand, took a small sip silently, and then handed it to another.

It's been three days, everyone knows the preciousness of these three days, it's all lives that can't be bought back with gold, more than 70,000 soldiers are in a dilemma, if the prediction is good, they will run out of food tomorrow, and they simply don't have enough combat power to rescue them, no matter which commander is facing such a situation, he is only worried, but even so, the guy of the Seven Princes will force a full three days of joy. He's probably at his limit now, right? For such a long time, the reinforcements were far away, and the Nuwa people had their own opinions, and they had lived in seclusion since then, and it was reasonable that they did not want to get involved in the conflict between the Great Zhou and the Gallic Hui. But now, if they didn't do reinforcements to raid the 20,000 blast furnace rebels trapped in the Great Zhou, if they were caught in front and rear, it was estimated that their side would not even be able to die with the enemy.

The wine jug returned to the hand of the general with a full face and beard, he frowned and stared at the wine jug that could no longer shed a drop of wine, and smiled bitterly, "Lord Xiao of the former army is also coming back soon, everyone is ready to prepare." ”

"Squeak," some of the dilapidated doors were pushed open, and even the alert general couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw the visitor, "Madam," the beautiful woman that Bai said Fat Niu had seen in the courtyard over there was struggling to walk in with two huge food boxes, and behind her, there was a small head poking out the door, as if she was afraid that there would be too many people here, and refused to come. The little one's eyes lit up suddenly, and before her mother could call again, she quickly hid behind another person in the room, her round eyes staring at the big face that looked at her without blinking, and her mouth was clearly saying, "Daddy?!" ”

The beard was the first to react, and the first thing he thought of was that the fat cow dared to tease a woman from a good family! This is a great crime in the army, even those who don't report it will be punished with eighty sticks on their spines, but what frightens him the most is not this, but the woman in front of him... Looking at her expression, that child turned out to be her daughter? Could it be that this guy Fat Niu came here a few years ago, and finally forcibly took a Nuwa tribesman as his wife?!

In the face of everyone's scrutinizing eyes, the person who just wanted to subconsciously hold the food box in his hand immediately said that he had no innocent relationship with this woman who suddenly visited, and saw that several people stared at him viciously with a very distrustful gaze, and the fat cow almost patted his chest and swore viciously: "I like to eat, yes, but I have never touched a woman!" ”

The faces of several generals clearly wrote the word disbelief, to be honest, looking at the tears in the beautiful woman's eyes, even he could only admit that it must have nothing to do with him. Although he didn't know where he had done something wrong, the tears on his face were genuine, and even if he had no impression of what he had done, he must have remembered it clearly. Even he wasn't sure if he had been here a few years ago, he slapped his head on the head, no, why did he have to admit something he had never done, wasn't it just asking for trouble, besides, this kind of thing can be admitted casually if he wants to? It's nothing to pick up a bargain by yourself, but if someone else's husband comes back one day and points his nose so that he can't get off the stage, then he will have to be escorted to the yamen by his relatives and friends, and he can't lose that person if he thinks about it! However, as soon as the fat cow turned around, he knew that things had exceeded his expectations, and he must have been seen by the group of guys who were looking at the hot eyes and eating greedily, they must have thought that they were deliberately pretending to be stupid.

"Hey, fat cow, tell me honestly, did you do anything to others." Sure enough, while the beautiful woman was setting the bowl and pouring the wine, the heads of more than a dozen men were all together again. Although there is nothing to do about the woman who is in tears, there are many ways to deal with a man who is unrepentant, and several of the leading generals rushed up, and almost tied the person with a face full of grievances to a chair and tortured him to extract a confession.

"Heaven and earth conscience, I really haven't touched a finger of her! I didn't even think to pull her white and tender little hands at first sight・・・・・・ "The fat cow beat his chest, he did almost everything except swearing, but no one seemed to believe him, and several generals still grinded their teeth around him."

"Hey, I said you just admit it, you're still not a gentleman? Just do it, stretch out your head and shrink your head is also a knife, and you don't dare to admit what you have done, what kind of hero are you! A round-eyed man had just finished saying these words with a righteous face, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Na, do you have anything over there, hurry up and ask your daughter-in-law to find one for my brother, who is almost thirty years old, and you have to open meat for radish and tofu all day long, right?" ”

Others also coaxed on the side: "That's it, our grandfather is a tiger, a wolf, it's too unpleasant to eat vegetarian food all day long and be hungry - what, what's your business?" Nonsense! Of course, you don't have a daughter-in-law, but we also have to leave a root for our hometown, we are not greedy for meat, but we have to leave a few mouthfuls of soup for us to drink. Okay, as long as you promise to help us find a daughter-in-law, then we will still be good brothers in the future, no, we are brothers who are closer than good brothers! Let's not pursue your mistake of leaving your sister-in-law behind for so many years and not coming back・・・・・・"

Another stammering man immediately added in the back: "Yes, yes, yes!" That, that, a fat cow, you just, as long as you find a daughter-in-law for us, I, we, we, we, I ”

I had already been pressed on the chair by a few guys who served as servants, and the fat cow stared at him roundly, and he was very obedient, I knew that a few of you wanted Lao Tzu to be a matchmaker to say so much nonsense, and threatened Lao Tzu over and over again, he was a little reluctant in his heart, you said that you are just for a woman, as for being so soft and hard, how good it is to say it!

Just when everyone thought he had agreed, the beautiful woman stopped, "Your Excellency, I have misunderstood, he is not my husband. Li'er, you go out for a while, my mother still has to talk to these adults. The little girl blinked obediently and ran to the door, not forgetting to turn back and make a grimace at the fat cow as she left.

Everyone was dumbfounded, only the fat cow was alone after involuntarily feeling a little regret and broke away from the pairs of plush hands, "What did I just say, she is not my person at all," and seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the behavior of his companion who was heavy and light on friends: "You guys were so happy just now!" "To be honest, he's not just a bird, the face he just lost is now full of thoughts about getting it back, and it's like a raccoon dog with those people.

"But he can't come back," the generals who said the sentence began to think of Pian Pian again, oh, I see, that's why I came here in such a hurry to steal the man... No, no, the sadness on her face doesn't look fake, could it be ・・・・・・that the generals of the Great Zhou are not fools, and it is not good to make a woman run over regardless of her identity and reserve, maybe it is still a matter of nine deaths and no return.

Sure enough, the beautiful woman gritted her teeth and spat out a few words: "He was killed by the king of Gaul!" ”

The generals chuckled in their hearts, King of Gaul, this name was all too familiar to them. Even the three-year-olds in Kyoto know what that long, awkward name means to Da Zhou. As long as there is a natural barrier in Gaul, no matter how much the Hui people think about invading the Central Plains, they must first think about their own way of retreat, as long as Gaul cuts off the grain road from the Hui to the Great Zhou, the Hui people can only break their heads and bleed under the dangerous passes of several important towns in the Great Zhou, and finally have to slip away in disgrace. If the emperor hadn't put down the rebels on the border, he would not have given up Gaul, a vassal with a hundred benefits and no harm, so easily. Since the alliance between Gaul and the Uighurs, there has been no peace on the border of the Great Zhou. Even the prince's big defeat of the Hui army a few years ago made the Hui king frightened and defeated, but it did not stabilize the war. If this dispatch of troops can successfully relieve the siege of the Gallic royal capital, it will naturally be easy for the two countries to re-align, but this woman just named the old man who besieged the royal capital of Gaul, and she was very obedient, no wonder she didn't say a word when she came in. If you take this errand, not to mention that ten heads are not enough, even the Seven Princes may not be able to pass.

"As long as you promise to kill him as much as you can if you meet him in the future, I will keep my promise even if it doesn't work out in the end," the woman's burning eyes seemed to have a fire burning, "I will marry him!" Never turn back! If he dies, I will remain a widow for him... ”

The faces of the generals showed a look of horror and inexplicability, since ancient times, it is said that the Nuwa people are infatuated like a dream, I didn't expect her to be so persistent, willing to marry another person she doesn't like, just to avenge her husband, a few generals who picked up the bowl and silently put the bowl down, this kind of commitment is not something that can be done casually, with the constraints of military discipline, they can't also betray the honor that belongs to Da Zhou, and they don't want to put Da Zhou's safety at risk for a woman. Presumably that woman also thought of this, they were all soldiers of the Great Zhou, even if they could give their surnames to do anything for her, but it was impossible for them to betray their country.

"Smack!" Unexpectedly, the first response to her was a slap! Looking at the red palm prints on the woman's face opposite, the fat cow didn't expect that his actions would have such an astonishing consequence, and the woman's cheeks immediately swollen.

"Even if you don't open the conditions, I will kill the prince of that for you, I am the eldest husband, and I will not take advantage of you as a woman. If you really still have that person in your heart, pull this child up! If I see you despise yourself so much again, I will knock out two of your teeth next time! ”

The beautiful woman looked at the person in front of her in a daze, as if she couldn't believe what he said: "You really want to kill the king of Gaul for me?" ”

The fat cow showed a smug face, patted his chest and said: "Isn't it just a bird prince... Where is he now, I Tie Niu will go and chop him up!" ”

The generals who were around looked and shook their heads, it seems that this guy who only has the courage of a puppet did not understand the situation at all and agreed to the affairs of others, the king of Gaul is still besieged in the capital, even if he has wings, he may not be able to fly in, this guy, he only has a brute force, how do you know that the head is not just used to eat, alas, this thing is difficult to do, in case the seven princes are blamed, everyone has to fight for him.

The beautiful woman stared blankly at the man who seemed to be an iron tower, and her honest face only had the pride of a big husband who looked at death as if he were at home. She poured all the wine from before and filled the bowl again: "The general's personality is really admirable, although it is a big mistake to come to disturb him, but as long as he can get the general's promise, he has no regrets." Today, I don't know how to say goodbye, the women also know that the Great Zhou military orders are very strict, but this bowl of wine is for the generals to drink triumphantly, after the general leaves, the women will pray all night, asking the gods to bless the general and return safely, and the women will take the liberty first! As he spoke, he took a big sip of the wine in his hand.

Perhaps because she didn't know how to drink bars at all, the woman's cheeks instantly turned red, and she spat out even a small sip of wine that she didn't have time to swallow, and kept coughing as if she was choking. The fat cow was about to step forward to help her, but the woman pushed him away, as if she was going to imprint him in her heart at the end, and the beautiful woman drank all the wine in the bowl, and staggered to the door, never looking back.

"She's gone," although I had hoped she had never been here just now, but now there was a sense of loneliness in everyone's hearts. Several generals looked at the wine spilled on the ground distressedly, glanced at each other and rushed to the table to put the bowl under their noses, a guerrilla general who had time to get the wine jar was very frustrated and seemed to have found something and shook it happily, well, yes, there was still half a mouthful left in the voice・・・・・ only the fat cow was there alone, and he was still muttering something in his mouth.

"Hey!" The general who didn't know what the fat cow was thinking was overjoyed snatched a freshly opened jar from the hand of a guy who couldn't stand steadily holding the wine jar, glanced at the fat cow who was still there looking at the door like a clay sculpture, and poured the wine into his nose: "What are you looking at so distracted, everyone has already gone back, what else do you look at, come and drink, today's wine, hiccup, the palace will be up to me Hu Boss alone!" ”

The fat cow absentmindedly put down the jar that touched his teeth, only to see him sigh heavily, his face full of remorse, and only said a sentence in a half-loud voice: "I knew that I would have hugged her in my room just now!" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, with a gloating expression on their faces, and they all told you not to hold on, you didn't listen, and now a boiled duck has flew, regret it, right?
