Chapter 61: Winning Love
Yuan Chen suddenly understood Wu Ruojie's intention to rub the ring, and she suddenly remembered that this action was so familiar, he had rubbed the ring before ordering to kill Zhao Qiuping and Yuan Moqing. Maybe that meant he wanted to kill.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder and looked at Li Jia. I saw that Li Jia was still smiling, and walked towards her slowly, as if he didn't take Wu Ruojie in his eyes at all, and teased: "Can my sister-in-law ride a horse?" If you don't ride a horse, you can sit in a sedan chair with you. My sedan chair is also spacious, not to mention that you and I are sitting in it, even if we are lying down, it is really not crowded. Ha ha! As he spoke, he burst out laughing, and the men behind him laughed uncontrollably.
Peeked at Wu Ruojie again, and saw that he was also staring at this side. Yuan Chen's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "I'...... Also horseback riding. ”
"Oh? That's a pity. Li Jia shook his head, but he still didn't finish, "Okay, if the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." After speaking, he turned around and raised his legs to get on the horse, his movements were very sharp and chic, and he seemed to be a master. When his men saw that the lord was about to mount their horses, they gave the order to set out.
Yuan Chen walked to Wu Ruojie's horse, got on an empty horse, sat down, knew that he was wrong, and said to Wu Ruojie in a low voice: "I didn't expect that this peasant rebel army also has some culture, and even knows Song words." ”
Wu Ruojie didn't look at her at all, but didn't squint and said: "They know much more than you expected, I don't believe you can go to the sedan chair with him." ”
"You...... Fart! Yuan Chen scolded and followed out. Wu Ruojie did not show weakness, rode a horse to overtake her, and chased after Li Jia.
"Yo, it looks like you ride a lot of horses, too." Li Jia looked at Wu Ruojie and said with a smile.
"Returning to the general's words, I often go back and forth to the state capitals and county offices, if I take a sedan chair, I don't say anything about the delay for a long time, but I am afraid that it will delay the use of weapons for officers and soldiers. That's why I've been riding horses for a long time, and I'm pretty good at riding. ”
"Oh?" Li Jia smiled, "In this way, your weapons are also shot from all sides, and you don't look at the other party's origins?" ”
"Tell me the truth, General." Wu Ruojie said with a smile, "You are a person who practices martial arts, and you must know that weapons are also like horses, which are divided into three, six, nine and so on." For example, those who make weapons like us, in addition to materials and craftsmanship, also need a heart in order to keep good weapons and do good business. ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Li Jia asked.
"Actually, as soon as I saw the general, I admired the general very much, so I also asked the general not to find fault with the words of the subordinates." Wu Ruojie paused and continued, "The current situation is the same as the Three Kingdoms period, with the Ming, Jurchen, and Dashun triparted. However, since ancient times, the world has been together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, and in my opinion, in a few years, the world will be unified. ”
"Oh? Go on. Li Jia was interested, straightened up, and asked.
"It's not that I'm disloyal as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, but it's that the Ming Dynasty has indeed come to an end, lost the hearts of the people, and can't get good results; However, the Jurchens are alien races outside the Guan, and they cannot gather people's hearts, and if they want to achieve the hegemony of the Central Plains, they are also delusional. Therefore, according to the bottom of the view, only the king of Dashun Chuang can not only make meritorious achievements, but also according to the orthodox roots, which is the desire of the people. ”
"Oh?" After Li Jia heard this, he crooked his mouth and smiled, "Aren't you afraid of saying so many rebellious words, I cut you?" ”
After Wu Ruojie heard this, he laughed, hugged his fists and said: "If the general wants to cut it, he will cut it yesterday." ”
"Haha! That's right, that's right! Li Jia laughed and said, "It's not a secret, the contemptible person is really the vanguard of King Chuang's subordinates, and Li Jia is also." ”
Hearing Li Jia admit his identity, Yuan Chen was taken aback, thinking to himself, Wu Ruojie really expected things like a god.
But after hearing this, Wu Ruojie hurriedly made a look of sincere fear, and said respectfully: "I have heard of the name for a long time, and I often think that one day I will see what the hero will be, but I don't expect that the hero is right in front of me today." ”
"Ha, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Li Jia shook his hand and smiled, "But you are really a hero among people, and your knowledge is quite far-reaching." As I said last night, if I have the honor to introduce you to King Chuang, it will also attract a great talent. ”
"The general has won the prize." Wu Ruojie said with a smile, "But if you can be loyal to King Chuang for life, you will live up to the people of the world." ”
"It's good, it's good that you have such knowledge." Li Jia praised, "In this case, I will definitely fulfill you." I think you will do something great in the future, so that I can also accumulate contacts for myself, and from now on, you and I can be brothers. ”
After hearing this, Wu Ruojie hurriedly said modestly: "General, you don't dare to do this." ”
"What dare you do?" Li Jia glared, pretending to be angry, "Don't you look down on me?" ”
"Oh, don't dare, don't dare, the general's prestige is shocking to all directions, I'm afraid that I can't climb high, how can I look down on it?"
"Ha, that's good, that's good." Li Jia smiled, "Looking at my appearance, I may be a little older, and I will be my brother in the future, by the way, I don't know my brother's surname?" ”
"Oh, my name is Li Duanlin." Wu Ruojie didn't pause at all, and actually said the name of his predecessor. Yuan Chen was shocked when she heard this, she recalled the man who was shot by her own hands during the special operation. Why? Why did Wu Ruojie not hesitate to say this name? Could it be that he has been haunted by that hatred? Thinking of this, she peeked forward, but she could only see his cheeks, his expression, and his psychology, which she didn't know.
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Li, so we can be regarded as our own family. Ha ha. Li Jia said with a smile.
Wu Ruojie also smiled slightly and did not answer.
"That's right." Li Jia turned his head and peeked at Yuan Chen, leaned in front of Wu Ruojie and lowered his voice, "Brother is suitable for marriage?" Yuan Chen saw that the other party was looking at him, so he hurriedly lowered his head, slowed down his horse's pace, distanced himself, and couldn't hear their conversation clearly.
"Oh?" Wu Ruojie was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile, "Brother is talking about my first marriage?" ”
After Li Jia heard this, his eyes widened and he smiled: "Oh? It turns out that brothers have more than one wife? What a blessing. ”
"Ahem, what a blessing." Wu Ruojie shook his head and sighed, "Don't hide it from my brother, my brother originally had two wives and concubines, but they all died in the war." ”
"Oh?" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, "So, the one behind you." ”
"Oh, it's actually a brother's chord." Wu Ruojie said.
"Oh?" Li Jia's eyes rolled and asked, "Brother, is this woman redeemed from the Zangchun Pavilion?" ”
"Exactly," Wu Ruojie was suspicious, wanting to see what Li Jia's purpose was, so he asked along the topic, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
"Hah, but that's too inappropriate." Li Jia pretended to be mysterious and said, "Brother is about to suffer a great disaster." ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Wu Ruojie deliberately put on a frightened look and asked hurriedly.
Li Jia smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will tell you all the reasons truthfully." But can you tell my brother how much silver taels you spent to redeem this woman? ”
"This ......" Wu Ruojie pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, although Tian Wan told his brother not to tell others about this matter, he didn't hide it from you, brother. got this woman, in fact, she didn't spend a penny. ”
"Oh?" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, his eyes turned quickly, and he looked incomprehensible.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Wu Ruojie didn't want to give the other party space to think, so he hurriedly asked.
"What do you ask?" Li Jia asked again.
"Oh, I did." Wu Ruojie said, "He told me to take good care of my life." ”
"Gone?" Li Jia rested his eyes and asked.
"Hmm...... Nope. Wu Ruojie said.
"Ha, brother," Li Jia smiled, "you didn't tell me the truth. ”
"Brother, brother's words are true." Wu Ruojie said.
"It's true that what you say is true, but you also have something to hide, so let's say it, you can see if what I said is right or not." Li Jia smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, your relationship with this Tian Wan can be described as extraordinary. This woman was given to you by Tian Wan for you to play with for free, but he also has a request, that is, when you need to return it, you must return it to Zhao without complaint. I don't know if I'm right? ”
Wu Ruojie had a little sum in his heart, and hurriedly hugged his fists and smiled: "Brother is really like a god." ”
"Really?" Li Jia touched his chin and smiled proudly.
"But my brother hasn't guessed why we made this deal." Wu Ruojie wanted to take out Tian Wan's words, so he provoked.
Li Jiazheng was so proud that he got carried away, opened his mouth and said: "It's not that he wants to keep the ownership of this woman, or give it to the person who deserves it at a convenient time?" ”
"Who deserves this woman?" Wu Ruojie asked.
"Of course we are the king! Promoted to knighthood, glory and wealth, that Tian Wan is all based on this woman. Hahaha! After Li Jia finished speaking, he laughed wildly.
Wu Ruojie was deliberately stunned: "Oh? What kind of woman can have such an effect? ”
"Don't you know who this woman is?" Li Jia blinked and asked.
"Brother is clumsy, please ask my brother to show me." Wu Ruojie hugged his fists.
"This woman ......" Li Jia said in a long voice, and then said, "It's the first beauty in Jiangnan - 'Chen Yuanyuan' is also." ”
"Huh? Chen Yuanyuan? Wu Ruojie was taken aback. Half of this surprise was fake, and the other half was real. He didn't expect Li Jia to recognize Yuan Chen, and hurriedly asked, "How did my brother find out?" ”
Li Jia smiled slightly, and said proudly: "Yesterday, I also had a woman in the Zangchun Pavilion 'Qin Huai Bayan', and it was Li Xiangjun is also. Didn't you see this woman too? When she met Chen Yuanyuan, she clearly shouted out 'Yuanyuan, is it really you?' At this time, I looked at Chen Yuanyuan herself, although she was dressed up and disguised, she couldn't cover her posture of captivating the country and the city, and the appearance of sinking fish and geese. In fact, I didn't hide it from my brother, I had been looking for Chen Yuanyuan in Jiangnan for a long time, but unfortunately I heard that Zangchun Pavilion had sold it to a merchant, but I couldn't find the merchant's name. This time it was really effortless, it was made by God. Ha ha. ”
"But, what is my brother looking for Chen Yuanyuan?" Wu Ruojie asked.
"Brother doesn't know." Li Jia said, "Although King Chuang has become famous, there are few women who can be warm by his side. This time, my brother came to Jiangnan to find beautiful women to give to him. In particular, King Chuang heard that Jiangnan's 'Qinhuai Bayan' is the most beautiful, and Chen Yuanyuan is the honor of 'Bayan', so he gave an order that I must find Chen Yuanyuan. ”
"I see." After hearing this, Wu Ruojie squinted his eyes and rubbed the ring on the thumb of his left hand.
"Brother doesn't think much about it, does he?" Li Jia looked at him and asked.
"Oh?" Wu Ruojie was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Me? What do you think about more? ”
"After all, King Chuang is taking away your love." Li Jia said, "But for the sake of my brother's extreme fatigue, my brother won't be beautiful, right?" Anyway, Chen Yuanyuan doesn't belong to you, you also took advantage of it, and enjoyed such a beautiful woman, in fact, it was not in vain. If you can give her, you can not only enjoy more women, a fresh mood, but also enjoy the glory and wealth, why not? ”
"Well, what my brother said is also ......," Wu Ruojie said.
Li Jia continued: "Actually, to be honest, brother, I am also very curious about this woman, what kind of beauty can pour the hearts of all men. But this time, it really lives up to its name. I'm not afraid to tell my brother that before I dedicate it to King Chuang, I will definitely taste something new. I hope that my brother can also give my brother a convenience. ”
"Huh?" Wu Ruojie was shocked when he heard this, and felt that a fire was burning in his heart.
"Brother doesn't think much about it, does he?" Li Jia smiled with a hippie smile, and there was a little more cunning in his words.
Wu Ruojie thought about it for a while, and said with a yin smile: "If my brother can take it, then just take it." In fact, this is a pun, quite a call for provocation. But Li Jia was arrogant, he didn't hear the clue, and when he saw the other party nodding, he was even more complacent and laughed.
Yuan Chen watched the two in front of him laughing hand in hand from behind, not knowing what the reason was, but an ominous premonition came to his heart.
Although the horse team was not slow, it was not as fast as Yuan Chen and Wu Ruojie when they came, and it was late at night before they returned to Changzhou. As soon as he entered the city, there were generals in civilian clothes under Wu Ruojie at the city gate, and when he saw this, he asked a little more questions, and he understood a little in his heart, bowed his head and hugged his fists and said: "Big brother, you can count it back." ”
Wu Ruojie blinked and said with a smile: "This is the eldest brother I met in Suzhou this time, General Li Jia, hurry, go and prepare, hurry up and line up accordingly." ”
"Hey, no, no, brother, don't disturb the night, let's go straight to the house." Li Jia said busily.
Wu Ruojie frowned and said, "How can it be? Brother, you've really slapped your brother in the face. ”
When Li Jia heard this, he couldn't stop it, so he had to agree. Seeing this, his generals hurriedly mounted their horses and galloped into the night.
Wu Ruojie led Li Jia and a group of people, deliberately slowed down his pace, and walked towards the mansion.
"The brother's mansion is not close." Li Jia said with a smile.
"My brother is tired, and my brother will take care of the wind and dust for my brother for a while." Wu Ruojie said.
Li Jia shook his head after hearing this, and said "No, no", but his heart was very good, and he laughed wildly: "Seeing that my brother is so well-behaved, my brother can call the shots and let Chen Yuanyuan accompany you for another night." But just as he was getting carried away, a large number of torches suddenly lit up on the roadside, on the wall, and even on the trees around him. Someone shouted, "Bah! Anti-thieves don't be rampant, the officers and soldiers are here! (To be continued.) )
