Dian Wei asked to see him late at night, and there was nothing else to do, nothing more than about the training of the troops, to make a report to Chen Nuo.

Since he came, he also pulled Dian Wei into the table and talked while eating.

Zhao Xue put down her chopsticks, knowing that she wouldn't be able to interject as soon as Dian Wei came, so she took the opportunity to retire.

Out of the tent, Zhao Xue wandered with a leisurely step, turning back in three steps, two steps, and a relative.

She still wondered how nice it would be if she were a man. If she is a man, then she can drink and talk with her big brother generously, and even talk all night long, instead of tabooing this and that all day long.

She looked at her nondescript outfit and suddenly felt a little annoyed.

Maybe it's not that she hates these, but she can't see people as she really is, which is annoying.

I used to like men's clothes, but now I see them as shoe.

She reached out and tugged at the corner of her clothes, her eyebrows frowning slightly. At this time, a soldier from the training patrol passed by, and she straightened up, put on an iron face, and walked over.

The next day, Chen Nuo was going to the city to discuss matters, and Zhao Xue had to follow him. Chen Nuo still wanted to take it, but she was obsessed with going, so she followed her.

When she came back in the evening, Zhao Xue told Chen Nuo what she had seen and heard in the city, especially praising the gorgeous clothes and makeup of the girls in the city.

Chen Nuo also heard some flavor from it, so he quipped: "I remember that Xue'er never cared about these things before, and I also said that you have forgotten about your daughter." Why, you suddenly told me about this, it's heavy makeup, and it's glamorous, what does it mean? Do you want to restore your daughter's body? ”

Zhao Xue blushed and nodded.

Chen Nuo was joking, but he didn't expect Zhao Xue to take it seriously, so he quickly coughed, pretending never to mention what he had just said. Who knew that once Zhao Xue had the idea of restoring her identity, it would be out of control, and she begged Chen Nuo to agree to her.

Chen Nuo is also big-headed, and now is not the time to let go of Zhao Xue.

You must know that as a Sima of other departments, he also has more than a thousand people on his hands, and he needs help. Although there are Dian Wei and Han Meng, these two are just material for war, and they have planned a battle plan, and they will rush wherever they want, which is unambiguous. But if you want them to manage the army, you really can't talk big about it.

There is only one Zhao Xue, although Wu Yong is inferior to Dian and Han, but she is Zhao Yun's sister after all, her brain is very flexible like his brother, and she has read some poetry and books, and she also understands the principles of battle formations, and she is the only person in the current battalion who can be worthy of the position of deputy general.

In addition to these three people, Chen Nuo has no other more prominent helpers. As for Guo Jia, he can't be invited out of the mountain for the time being, at this time when there is a shortage of talents, can Chen Nuoyan easily let Zhao Xue go? But there can be no women in the camp, there are strict rules, if Zhao Xue wants to recover her daughter's body, she must also leave the barracks, which Chen Nuo does not want to see.

So he deliberately provoked him with this, Zhao Xue couldn't bear to leave Chen Nuo, and when he heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "Xue'er won't leave your big brother if she is killed!" ”

She quibbled in a hurry, and when she said such a thing, she suddenly felt too presumptuous, so she immediately bypassed the words, and continued: "But women are also human beings, why can't they make contributions in the army, this is too unfair!" ”

Chen Nuo smiled: "Xue'er is a heroine, of course she can." Cher, don't worry, as long as I can ...... in the future Oh, when a certain time comes in the future, I will definitely suggest that Yuan Gong let him set up a special women's battalion in the army, and then let you be the general of this women's battalion. Cher, what do you think? ”

"Female battalion general?"

When Zhao Xue heard this, of course, she had infinite longing. However, her mind was quick, and she turned to say: "But, does the eldest brother really want to serve General Yuan all the time?" I think General Yuan is generous on the outside, but he ...... on the inside."

Chen Nuo was afraid that the wall would have ears, so he immediately interrupted her: "Xue'er, these words are still rotten in the stomach, just tell me, others must not say it." ”

Of course, she won't say it easily, but when she thinks about the things before and after, she is not angry for Chen Nuo. Thinking that he made such a great contribution in the previous battle, not only helped Zhou Tingshi repel Sun Jian, but also waved his troops to capture Yuyuan Pass, not only was he not rewarded afterwards, but he was also almost about to take him to his death because he killed the enemy general Gongsun Yue, what kind of reason is this.

Since Chen Nuo didn't let him say it, Zhao Xue didn't talk about it.

This night, after thinking about it, Zhao Xue thought about it, and when she thought of the female battalion general that Chen Nuo promised her, she smiled beautifully and fell asleep peacefully. But in her sleep, she dreamed of her brother Zhao Yun, who was covered in blood.

Zhao Xue woke up crying, and realized that it was already dawn.

It happened that Chen Nuo entered the tent and saw the tears on her face, so he hurriedly comforted her a few words.

Zhao Xue thought of the dream just now, which reminded her of missing her brother, and she couldn't help hugging Chen Nuo and crying again. She cried a few times, feeling that the atmosphere was not right, and occasionally looked up, only to find that there was also Dian Wei with Chen Nuo.

Na Dian Wei stared at a pair of cow beads, and when he looked at it, he didn't see the reason. was seen by Zhao Xue and scolded him: "Retract your bull's eye!" ”

When Chen Nuo heard this, he let go of Zhao Xue, and when he looked back and saw Dian Wei's innocent face, he couldn't help but laugh.

He patted Zhao Xue on the shoulder and stood up: "Okay, you wash up quickly, and you will come with me into the city later." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and took Dian Wei out of the big tent first and returned to his own tent. From time to time, Han Meng and other generals had also arrived, so Chen Nuo simply explained their task of staying in the camp. By the time the generals received their orders, Zhao Xue was already dressed and came to see Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo took Zhao Xue and more than a dozen personal soldiers, and rushed all the way to the city.

Zhao Xue held back all the way, and finally asked Chen Nuo a question in her heart during the break: "General, I remember that I wanted to enter the city with you yesterday, and I still agreed to say that you agreed." Why haven't I brought it up today, general, you let Xue'er follow? ”

"What, isn't this what Cher was thinking?"

After talking to Zhao Xue for a night last night, Chen Nuo also felt that he owed Zhao Xue too much. Since she likes the hustle and bustle of the city, why not take advantage of the rare leisure of these few days to take her with her? It just so happened that Yuan Shao was going to summon him again today, so he brought it with him by the way.

Seeing that the rest was almost over, Chen Nuo took Xue'er and the others to continue on the road. When they entered the city, before they arrived at Yuan Shao's general's mansion, they encountered a group of menacing soldiers halfway.

There were forty or fifty soldiers in that group, and they were very unscrupulous along the way, not only disturbing the pedestrians and residents, but also taking advantage of the opportunity to plunder the merchants, without any law. After all, this place is Yecheng, the capital of Jizhou, although it is only preliminary, but presumably the public security will not be too bad, and it is infuriating to encounter such things today.

Seeing that the other party was about to rush in, Chen Nuo did not have the slightest intention of evading, and put Mahler on the road, waiting for the gang to come forward.

The group of soldiers were blocked, and immediately raised their swords and spears, threatening Chen Nuo to make his debut. The soldiers behind Chen Nuo also immediately rushed forward to protect Chen Nuo. Zhao Xue stood by Chen Nuo's side, pressed his sword and did not move, ready to attack at any time.

The situation is imminent, and pedestrians on both sides are avoiding.

At this moment, one of the other soldiers walked out, snorted, and shouted: "General Chen, don't come unharmed!" ”

Chen Nuo looked at it, immediately recognized it, and smiled: "It turned out to be General Zhu, when did you arrive in Yecheng?" ”

This General Zhu is a famous Han and a native of Hanoi. Before, Chen Nuo, together with Yan Liang, was ordered to send an envoy to Jizhou to persuade Han Fu to surrender, and when he was still in Dangyin, he met Zhu Han's group. They pretended to use the banner of Yuan Shao and surrendered in front of Chen Nuo's army. Chen Nuo accepted the horses he sent and asked him to lead his troops to Yuan Shao. After Jizhou returned to Yuan Shao, Chen Nuo has been busy with military affairs, so he didn't see this person again, but he didn't expect to meet him today.

When Zhu Han heard what Chen Nuo said, he smiled, his stomach straightened, and said: "Speaking of which, I have to thank General Chen for helping from this, if I hadn't gotten General Chen's approval, my defection to General Yuan might not have gone so smoothly."

General Chen didn't know that since I left the general, I took my men all the way to Jizhou. When I met General Yuan, General Yuan was quite worthy of it, not only took in me, an outlaw, but also entrusted him with the task of confidant. It's a shame to say that under the eyes of General Yuan, he is already engaged in the capital under General Yuan's account, and he is in charge of lawbreakers. So ......"

Zhu Han smiled when he said this, looked Chen Nuo up and down with his eyes, and said no more. It means that Chen Nuo will weigh it himself, and now he is blocking his way, is it interesting to let go.

Of course, Chen Nuo understands the weight of this official engagement. Yuan Shao wears many hats, one of which is the captain of Sili. This division is subordinate to the lieutenant, and his job is to report and deal with illegal officials. It's just that this place is not Gyeonggi, and it is impossible for him to correct the officials in Luoyang, but only the officials in Yecheng. But even if it is a small Yecheng, it is big enough, as long as it is Yuan Shao's official, then he also has the right to picket.

Looking at his villainous smug face, Chen Nuo also felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

At the beginning, he agreed to accept his surrender, of course, it was not something he could decide, and there was still Yan Liang at that time. Since Yan Liang didn't object, he didn't have anything to say. It's just that I didn't expect that once this villain has a will, he will really be rampant if he has a will, and he will immediately stop taking others in his eyes, which is really hateful.

But now that he is under his authority, he has to swallow his anger for the time being.

As soon as he heard Zhu Han say this, he pretended to congratulate him twice, and said: "Lord Zhu came out in a hurry, I don't know which official should be unlucky this time?" ”

When Zhu Han heard this, he smiled proudly: "I'm afraid this must be General Chen, you should know, right?" ”

Although he had a smile on his face, he was very unhappy in his heart. Now that you know what his position is, how can you still talk to him right now, and clearly don't take him as an official in your eyes at all! You wait, wait until I have done this, and then come back and clean up your kid.

Chen Nuo didn't bother to talk to Zhu Han, pulled the reins, and arched his hand: "General Ben also has to go to the Yuan Mansion to discuss matters, and I don't have time to pay attention to idle matters!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to strike his horse forward, but in a moment he felt that something was wrong.

He turned his head to look at Zhao Xue, only to see Zhao Xue staring at Zhu Han with a pair of eyes. Not only did Chen Nuo look strange, but even Zhu Han himself suddenly realized that he was staring at her and his scalp was numb.

Zhao Xue looked at Zhu Han carefully for a while, suddenly her eyes stood up, she was furious, she gritted her jade teeth, and blurted out: "You are ......"

Zhao Xue's hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, and he was about to draw his sword. But Chen Nuo was quick to stop him in time. Chen Nuo glanced at her and deliberately reminded him: "Zhao Xue, don't be rude, Lord Zhu is a capital official, and he is an illegal official, even if you admire him, you can't make such a mistake." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly said goodbye to Zhu Han and dragged Zhao Xue away.

Zhao Xue walked out of Zhangyuan, looked back and saw that Zhu Han was about to go away with the people, gritted his teeth, and chased back again. Chen Nuo hurriedly grabbed her and scolded in a low voice: "Xue'er, what's the matter with you?" This is Yecheng, you can't come nonsense! ”

Zhao Xue was so excited that she spoke incoherently: "But...... But...... That was the man who killed my brother that day......"

As he spoke, tears and hatred poured down his face.

Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed. Zhao Xue said that Zhu Han was the murderer of his brother Zhao Yun?

suddenly remembered what Zhao Xue had told him before, and suddenly fell into deep thought.

She had said before that after his brother heard his words that day, he took them to Yuan Shao. But halfway down the road, he was stopped by a group of people under the banner of the Yuan family. Because the gang coveted their horses, they had evil intentions and killed her and her brother Zhao Yun. Why didn't he think at that time that this gang of gangsters was actually Zhu Han's people?

You know, when it was, most of Yuan Shao's forces were in Hanoi, how could the Yuan family appear north of Ye County? Only Zhu Han is the biggest suspect. At that time, Zhu Han had just betrayed Jizhou, and soon fell into the grass. And in order to protect himself, he deliberately played the banner of the Yuan family at that time. Now it seems that it is not difficult to figure out what happened before and after.

I think that Zhu Han coveted the horses brought by Zhao Yun at that time, so he had bad intentions and intercepted and killed Zhao Yunren and others. Later, he went all the way to the south, arrived in the Dangyin Mountain, and temporarily settled in the village. When they went to Jizhou, they saw that the opportunity had come, so they took the opportunity to surrender.

Also, I remember that after the banquet that day, they were led by Zhu Han and others to the back mountain stable to see the horses, and there was a lonely white horse at that time. When he looked at the horse's eyes at that time, he said how could he be so familiar, it turned out that the owner of the white horse was none other than Zhao Yun. When he had Zhao Yun's help to repel the bandits before, he had seen Zhao Yun's white horse.

Maybe it was Zhao Yun's mount that recognized Chen Nuolai at that time, and he deliberately bit Chen Nuo to the edge of the cliff, which was sad and longitudinal, and it was originally made for Chen Nuo to show it, reminding Chen Nuo that its owner had fallen from the mountain and died.

It's just that Chen Nuo didn't expect this horse to be so humane at that time, he didn't eat or drink after the death of his master, starved alive, so that he lost weight, and finally jumped off the cliff and died.

Originally, after meeting Zhao Xue, after listening to Zhao Xue tell the story of his brother Zhao Yun's death, he also faintly felt something at that time. It's just that at that time, he was busy with military affairs and never had time to think, so he gradually left this matter behind. Looking back now, if it had been investigated at the time, it would have been not difficult to find out.

This matter will not be able to get through until Zhao Xue and Zhu Han, the two enemies, face each other, and it is really a bit ashamed.

No wonder Zhao Xue was staring at Zhu Han with a dead face before, it turned out that she also slowly recognized Zhu Han, the murderer. However, fortunately, he stopped Zhao Xue in time, otherwise he didn't know how much trouble Zhao Xue would make in Yecheng if he made such a fuss.

Although he knew that Zhu Han was the murderer of Zhao Yun, but at the moment he was in Yecheng and in full view of everyone, if Zhao Xue acted recklessly, not only would he not be able to avenge his brother, but he was afraid that the soldiers around Zhu Han would have already arrested her.

Now that we know who the murderer is, it is not too late for the so-called gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and there will be opportunities in the future, I am afraid that I can't kill Zhu Han to avenge Zhao Yun?

Chen Nuo was still afraid that Zhao Xue would continue, so he temporarily pulled her down, stepped aside, and tried to comfort her a few words. Although Zhao Xue was anxious for revenge, she was not an unreasonable person, and after listening to what Chen Nuo said, she nodded and promised Chen Nuo to put aside her hatred for the time being, and then report it when she had the opportunity in the future.

Chen Nuo sighed lightly, straightened her clothes and armor, and reached out to touch the tears on her face for her. But her white face, washed with tears, diluted the charcoal that had been deliberately smeared.

Chen Nuo looked even more guilty from her fair face. Such a good girl, who is not bad looking, even if she is not married, she should be treated in the boudoir, how can she suffer like this with him? Since Zhao Yun is dead, he will be the only one to take care of her in the future, and he will never let others bully her.

"Zhu Han!" Chen Nuo carved the name in his heart, retracted his hand, grasped the handle of the knife, and tightened it.

He said to Zhao Xue: "Don't worry, if you don't kill this fang, how can I be worthy of your brother under Jiuquan?" ”

If it weren't for the street, Zhao Xue almost threw herself into Chen Nuo's arms. In order to reassure Chen Nuo, Zhao Xue deliberately squeezed out a smiling face, looked at Chen Nuo's face, but said in her heart: "Big brother, how can I let you take this risk?" ”

Because of the urgency of time, Chen Nuo didn't have much delay, comforted Zhao Xue a few words, and took her to Yuan Shao's general's mansion. It's just that Zhao Xue is a subordinate after all, and he is not qualified to enter the general's mansion, so he and more than a dozen of his own soldiers who came with him have arranged to wait outside.

Chen Nuo explained Zhao Xue two sentences, and followed the other officials into the lobby to discuss the matter.

Today's topic is nothing more than about Gongsun Zhan's southward movement, Dong Zhuo's prestige and blessing, and the recent changes in the situation around Jizhou. Chen Nuo was thinking about Zhao Xue's affairs, and he didn't want to listen to these people's noise.

Long after entering the deliberations, a soldier suddenly came in in a hurry, with a panicked face, and reported to Yuan Shao: "No, it's not good! The official was beheaded in General Han Qi's mansion! ”
