Chapter 122

The red waist poured a full wine glass for him, and smiled: "No matter how different the little woman is, she can't compare to the general's style." can not only scold Fang Yu in the millions of troops, but also chant poems and orders between chips, and be willing to save people in times of danger, this is the demeanor of a heroic man. ”

Xuan Ce laughed: "That's the case, please ask Miss Redwaist to accompany me to make an order, okay?" ”

The red waist lowered his head and smiled: "The general is interested, and the little woman should accompany her." ”

The two of them ate and drank, ordered again, and threw pots, and played for an hour. A personal soldier came to report to Xuan Ce, saying that General Akuibu had something to ask to see. Xuan Ce just stopped the thing in his hand, and reluctantly said goodbye to the red waist and left. The red waist and the maid musician sent Xuan Ce away, and then went back to the house behind closed doors.

"Oops...... I didn't expect it to be so tiring to do this job. ”

Taking off the camouflage of the red waist, Xiao Yezi breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his neck: "This Xuan Ce can really be tossed." She smiled at the musician, "It's a shame that Brother Chai taught me how to give orders in advance, otherwise I would have been timid." ”

The maid Qiu Yishui snorted beside her: "What's the matter, isn't there any credit for my sister Shui?" ”

Xiao Yezi laughed, and immediately hugged Qiu Yishui's neck and kissed her: "Sister Shui is the most powerful, if Sister Shui hadn't taught me how to serve men, even ten little leaves would have been killed by Xuan Ce." ”

Chai Song smiled: "A good master leads the door, and the cultivation can be done in the apprentice individual." You are very talented, and you are ready to become a teacher. ”

Qiu Yishui also hugged Xiao Yezi and said with a smile: "Hmph, how can a person who can make the suave young pavilion master willing to give up the flowers, how can he not be even?" ”

Xiao Yezi's face turned red, smiled shyly, and then said: "Since the first step of the plan was successful, so that Xuan Ce likes it here, we can't lie on the merit book and eat nothing." From tomorrow, we will move on to the next step. Brother Chai, yesterday you said that you heard the news, after saying that, Yan Xuan and Yelu Xiye fought a tough battle in the northwest border, forcing the Tuotars to retreat thirty miles, right? ”

Chai Song said: "Not bad. Yelu Xiye made a lot of contributions in this battle. It's just that the class has not returned to the capital yet, so there is no reward yet. ”

Xiao Yezi smiled: "According to my observation, although this Xuan Ce is old, he still has arrogance in his heart and likes to be praised by others. Now Yelu Xiye has done such a big thing...... is also a general, I don't believe that Xuan Ce will be indifferent to watching others make meritorious contributions. Brother Chai, Sister Qiu, you go find a few sergeants and spread some gossip in the army - after all, the Yanjin people are a nation on horseback, this Xi Ye frequently fought and made meritorious contributions in the borderlands, while Xuan Ce couldn't shrink in Yandang City, which was really incompetent in comparison. As long as this public opinion is together, even if he is as calm as water, he will inevitably have to prevent Xi Ye from being upset. When the time comes, we will start from it, and we will definitely take advantage of it. ”

Qiu Yishui grinned and kissed Xiao Yezi on the face: "Mrs. Young Pavilion Master, you are really a showman!" When I write a letter to the Young Pavilion Master again, I have to praise you for your skills! ”

Sure enough, as Xiao Yezi expected, since she spread rumors, Xuan Ce came two or three times. Every time he came, Xuan Ce's face did not change, he only cared about drinking with Xiao Yezi and making orders, and never mentioned any political affairs. Xiao Yezi is gentle with him, he wants to give orders, he orders, he wants to drink, he drinks, he wants to watch the dance, he watches the dance. Xuan Ce didn't talk much to Xiao Yezi, and Xiao Yezi didn't inquire. Recently, Xuan Ce drank too much, and the anxiety between his eyebrows was inadvertently revealed. Gradually, Xuan Ce will also sleep in the wine shop and clothes. Xiao Yezi didn't bother, so he covered the futon for him, and left, but secretly taught people to spread the following rumors among the army - Wanyan Xuan, who was far away in the northwest, heard that Xuan Ce was not effective in defending the city, and intended to send Xi Ye to replace him.

Not long after the rumors spread, Xuan Ce really visited a drunken shop again. This time, the anxiety in his eyes could not be hidden.

That night, Xuan Ce drank more, watching Xiao Yezi sing and dance lightly, he was a little forgetful, grabbed Xiao Yezi's wrist, took her into his arms, and said with a smile: "Come, red waist, let's not get drunk tonight." ”

Xiao Yezi didn't struggle, only turned sideways slightly, then avoided his embrace, and said softly: "General, you are drunk." ”

Xuan Ce laughed a few times, lowered his eyes and said, "I really want to get drunk." Don't worry if you're drunk. ”

Xiao Yezi stretched out his hand and stroked his hair lightly a few times, and said softly: "If the general is bored, the little girl will change another dance to show the general, okay?" ”

Xuan Ce smiled: "You are a flower of interpretation, but it's a pity that you come from a slightly cold background, otherwise, it will not be difficult to accept you into the room." ”

Xiao Yezi smiled: "People live in the world, and it is inevitable that there will be gains and losses. Although the little woman is not blessed to serve by the general's side, there are also benefits to being free. Everything in the world has its own fate, and the fairness and conservation of gains and losses are the eternal laws. ”

Xuan Ce smiled bitterly: "Conservation of gains and losses? Not necessarily. I have been conscientious for several years, with great achievements, loyal to the country and filial piety at home, which point is not enough? It's just that because I am a general who has defected to the enemy country, I am dwarf everywhere, so how can I say that it is fair? ”

Regarding the origin of Xuan Ce's identity, of course, Xiao Yezi had already done his homework at Chai Song, but when he heard it at this time, he still had to pretend to be surprised: "The general is actually a general?" ”

"What? Even you, a little dancing girl, dare to look down on this official? Xuan Ce snorted coldly.

Xiao Yezi lowered his eyes and smiled: "The general misunderstood. The quality of the little woman Pu Liu, how dare she be disrespectful to the general. It's just that I was a little surprised when I heard that the general was a demoted general. Since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to perch, as long as the Lord is strict, and the hero should not ask the source, it is the sign of prosperity. If everyone rests on their laurels and judges the world by bloodline, there won't be so many stories in the Three Kingdoms, right? ”

This subtle remark made Xuan Ce smile: "Why, you still like to listen to stories?" ”

Xiao Yezi smiled softly: "Not only that, the little woman is simply a book maniac, but whenever there is a legendary story, she can't help but listen to it first." Not to mention, just among the biographies of Hou Yan that I have recently heard, there are also people who are the same generals as the generals, but they are still famous in the annals of history and will be remembered for eternity. ”

"Oh? Are you talking about a generation of war god Murong Chui? Xuan Ce smiled.

Xiao Yezi smiled: "Not bad...... Murong Chui joined the command of Qin King Fu Jian for some reason, although he was suppressed by the traitors of the former Qin, he still dedicated himself to the country and strived to make progress, he was really an iron-clad hero. She thought of something, and suddenly sighed faintly, "It's a pity that before the hero succeeds, he always has a bad fate." If nothing else, let's just say that the faint Wang Meng was just afraid that Murong Chui was not from his clan, so he used that vicious golden knife trick to frame Zhongliang, which was really a foolish act of self-destruction. ”

"Wang Meng? Golden Knife Meter? Xuan Ce's heart moved. Of course, he knew what the Golden Knife Scheme was. In the past, after Murong Chui, the status of Yan General was reduced to Qin King Fu Jian, and he was favored. The former Qin courtier, Wang Meng, was jealous of Murong Trai's great military achievements and great talents, and had the intention of framing Murong Trai, so he pretended to be friendly with Murong Trai. Taking advantage of the banquet with Murong Chui, Wang Meng deceived Murong Chui into carrying the golden knife, and bribed Murong Chui's servants to carry the golden knife thousands of miles away, found Murong Ling, the son of Murong Chui, and deceived Murong Ling into defecting in the name of his father. Murong Ling thought that the information sent by the servant was his father's, so he fled overnight. And Wang Meng took the opportunity to write to King Fu Jian of Qin and framed Murong Trai for rebellion, which suppressed the upward trend of Murong Trai's power. Now that he is subject to Yelu Xiye at the same level because of his identity, how do you know that he is not Wang Meng's first-class? Instead of letting others be Wang Meng, it is better to do it yourself first, so that you can change from passive to active.

At the moment, he was silent, and sighed pretendedly: "Hey, what are you talking about, or drink a bar." Didn't you just say you were going to show me a different dance? I'd like to see what new tricks you have. ”

Xiao Yezi bent his knees and smiled: "Yes, the little woman obeys her fate." ”

As soon as the dance was over, Xuan Ce left. Xiao Yezi watched Xuan Ce walk away, then closed the door and returned to the inner room.

In the inner room, Chai Song and Qiu Yishui were waiting inside. As soon as she saw Xiao Yezi turn around, Qiu Yishui smiled: "Xiao Yezi, you are really getting better and better at this gentle interpretation flower, even if we were watching in the dark just now, we can't tell which sentence is intentional and which is unintentional." Looks like we'll repay you when we get back to Cloudsdale. ”

Xiao Yezi grinned: "Such a disobedient pretending to be a gentle interpreter flower is indeed a personal work." I think he will make some moves below, Brother Chai, you have to keep an eye on it. ”

Chai Song nodded: "I'll go now." ”

Seeing Chai Song leaving, Xiao Yezi covered her stomach and snorted: "Sister Shui...... I drank a stomach of sherbet just now, but I died lightly. I'm going to eat the crispy fish you made, or I'll leave it to work." ”

Qiu Yishui stretched out her hand and patted her on the head, and said with a smile: "This girl has learned to favor her for personal gain." Okay, I'll do it for you. ”

The two women hugged each other and walked to the back kitchen without mentioning it.

In the following days, Xuan Ce did not come to the drunken shop again. But Chai Song used the scout network to find out about Xuan Ce's recent movements. I heard that Xuan Ce took the initiative to write a book to finish his face, and asked Yelu Xiye to return to Yandang City to garrison. Wanyan also has this intention, so it will be played. A few days later, Xi Ye came with his Shenwei Hall.

As soon as Xi Ye arrived in Yandang City, not only the militia in Yandang City fluctuated, but even Xiao Yezi, a drunken workshop, became busy.

Xuan Ce specially ordered Xiao Yezi to prepare a banquet table to catch the wind for Xi Ye and Lu Zheng of Shenwei Hall. Xiao Yezi was born in a reckless and didn't know anything about delicate banquets, but fortunately, with the help of Chai Song and Qiu Yishui, he did a similar job.

It's late afternoon when I'm ready to stop. Xiao Yezi, Chai Song, and Qiu Yishui waited at the door. It wasn't until nightfall that Xuan Ce was late with Yelu Xiye and Lu Zheng.

Xiao Yezi had heard Li Li talk about Yelu Xiye and his person, and when he saw it at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was indeed a northern man. But Lu Zheng, who was beside Xi Ye, was only eleven or twelve years old, and he was a child at all. I don't know what this kid is capable of, he has become one of the four masters of the Heavenly Ninja Sect at a young age, it is really better to see than to hear.

I saw that Xuan Ce introduced Yelu Xiye into the inner room respectfully, as if he was inviting a former classmate and friend, and he couldn't see the jealousy behind him at all. Xiao Yezi secretly admired in his heart, and he didn't show his face at the moment, silently assisting Xuan Ce to entertain Xi Ye.

Xi Ye seemed to be defenseless against Xuan Ce, and in Xuan Ce's admonition, he sent glass after glass of wine into his stomach. Lu Zheng beside him didn't drink, he only watched Xuan Ce persuade him to drink, and didn't speak. Xuan Ce didn't treat Lu Zheng as a child, and frequently ordered small leaves to cloth vegetables. The three of them staggered, and the talk was all polite words between colleagues.

Xiao Yezi looked at Xuan Ce, and saw that he was reluctant to get to the point, so he deduced in his heart that he must have had an influence on Lu Zheng's side, which made it difficult for him to launch an offensive against Xi Ye. She smiled slightly, she already had a plan in her heart, and immediately pretended to be drunk, and said softly: "This General Lu doesn't drink either, but it's rare." ”

Xuan Ce smiled: "Although our General Lu is young, he is not an ordinary ignorant person. He is the leading ordnance maker in our Yanjin Empire, and he is best at developing siege firearms. He stayed in the institute all year round, and rarely came out to drink and chat. You can see him here today, it is really a blessing for three lives, and he is not waiting for him well. ”

The implication of Xuan Ce's words is naturally to remind Xiao Yezi, Lu Zheng, who is still insightful about the affairs of men and women, and let Xiao Yezi deal with Lu Zheng. Xiao Yezi hid his face and chuckled, took the initiative to reach out and take Lu Zheng's hand, and a pair of charming eyes glanced at Lu Zheng's faintly born Adam's apple, admiration: "Oh? The little woman is shallow, and she is not well entertained today. Please also ask General Lu to have a lot, don't blame the little girl. ”

Although Lu Zhengren is smart, after all, he is young and not enough, and there are not many adult women who have blue eyes. He had already moved in his heart, but because of the presence of his boss Xi Ye, it was not easy to excuse himself. This time he was held by the beauty and made an ambiguous gesture, he lowered his eyes, as if he didn't dare to look at Xiao Yezi, and blushed: "Where, where, the girl is serious." ”

Although Xiao Yezi is not very old, he still has several times more experience than Lu Zheng and other chicks, and he knows that he can't be too aggressive in dealing with such a little boy, but he can't be too passive, so he only smiled softly at the moment: "I don't know how old General Lu is?" ”

Lu Zheng blushed and said, "I'm eleven ...... this year," he suddenly raised his voice, "Although I'm only eleven years old, I'm still an adult." ”

Xiao Yezi gently held his hand, smiled charmingly, took advantage of the unpreparedness of someone to gently brush his leg, and said in a low voice: "Sister knows." ”

Being stirred up like this, Lu Zheng's face was like a hot stone, his eyes were only staring at Xiao Yezi, and there was a slight warmth in his eyes.

Seeing Lu Zheng's face flushing, Xuan Ce had already understood it in his heart, and quipped: "Today is a small banquet, and the focus is on contacting feelings." Even General Yelu let go of heavy drinking, and General Lu didn't have to be too restrained. Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter, tomorrow you should do the right thing to do the right thing, tonight just relax. Isn't it, General Jerry? ”

Lu Zheng hindered Xi Ye's presence, and was busy clearing his throat, but the red glow on his face did not fade.
