At first, no one in the tent paid attention to the three of them, maybe it was Ye Zhimeng's actions that aroused the disgust of the generals, and the general sitting on the main seat snorted: "Why, haven't you seen a woman?" ”

The general picked up the wine glass with one hand, hugged the slender waist of the beauty with the other, and when Ye Zhi opened his eyes, he pinched the woman's waist hard in front of Ye Zhi, in exchange for a coquettish cry from the beauty.

Ye Zhi's face turned red with a "brush", and he lowered his head to force himself to calm down.

Mei Xiaoren was furious, and when he saw Ye Zhi's appearance, he felt helpless. Ye Zhi has been with her for two years, and there is no woman around him except for her "fake" brother, and he is a scholar who abides by etiquette and law, so he can easily be embarrassed by that general.

The general raised his wine glass and sneered at everyone: "What a sour talent." ”

Mei Xiaoren took a few steps forward, got closer to the general, and wrote all the displeasure on his face, which made the people in the tent stop laughing.

She is a seven-rank county commander, and she is almost at the bottom of Daning's official list, but the rank of this general is not much higher.

Since it is a level, if it can be discussed, it will be discussed, and if it cannot be discussed, then it will be determined to see whose face is tighter, and whose aura can overpower whom.

Sure enough, the general saw that the people were not soft persimmons, gave up making fun of them again, and asked impatiently: "Are you here, is there something wrong?" ”

Mei Xiaoren got straight to the point: "More than an hour ago, the village next to me was robbed. ”

"See." The generals made no secret of it.

"Now that the captain has seen it, why can the bandits still succeed?"

The general grabbed the leg of mutton on the plate and tore it horizontally, and said while chewing: "I was ordered by the Prime Minister to guard the border pass, and it was the Xia people who wanted to fight, not bandits." ”

Mei Xiaoren sneered, "Then the imperial court asked the army to eat rice grains, not lamb legs, don't you eat them too?" ”

When the general heard this, he became angry, smashed the unfinished bones into the plate, and said angrily: "Boy, I respect you for your youth and promising, and you can be promoted to the county magistrate at this age and you are also a talent, but you are your official, Lao Tzu is Lao Tzu's soldier, and the well water does not violate the river water, why do you care about Lao Tzu?" ”

"Are you sure you want to keep the water from my well?"

"Could it be that Captain Ben still asks you to help me suppress bandits?"

The general's words caused laughter.

Even if Mei Xiaoren didn't speak, the battle-hardened captain had already seen through her thoughts.

That's right, she came here not only to ask for an explanation, but also to ask the army to help her suppress the bandits.

The general stood up, dragged the beautiful woman to Mei Xiaoren, and said, "Don't blame me for not giving you face, your people pretend to be high, you can't be high." Where can a man not touch a woman, this woman has been rewarded to you tonight, if you accept it, I will send someone to help you suppress the bandits tomorrow. ”

The general let go, but the woman stood motionless, causing the general to scold: "Don't go over quickly, serve the county commander!" ”

The woman timidly looked up at Mei Xiaoren.

Mei Xiaoren's expression was still so indifferent, but she was touched by the woman's watery eyes, because she saw innocence in the woman's eyes.

This was originally a trick between her and the arrogant general, and she couldn't bear to be caught in the middle.

The woman refused to go over, and suddenly angered the general.

"Cheap hooves, I dare not listen to Lao Tzu's words!" The general grabbed the woman's wrist and jerked her towards Mei Xiaoren.

With the strength of Takefu, which woman can bear it. The woman slammed down in front of Mei Xiaoren's feet and knocked her head.

Mei Xiaoren leaned over to help the woman, helped her calmly, and casually mentioned: "Women are also people." ”

"It's just a plaything, I'm tired of playing with this today, and I'll change a few more tomorrow."

"That's what the captain said." The generals chimed in.

The general returned to his seat and beckoned: "Okay, my soldiers, I have the final say, since you don't want to go with me, then leave as soon as possible!" ”

"Okay, you are in charge of your soldiers, and I have to take my people." Mei Xiaoren looked at the women.

"Are you deliberately trying to get along with Lao Tzu?"

Mei Xiaoren said lightly: "The captain must have never read any books on the battlefield, but there is a sentence you must have heard." ”

The general looked at Mei Xiaoren with contempt in his eyes: "What words?" ”

"The strong dragon doesn't crush the head snake!"

After Mei Xiaoren finished speaking, he took the woman's hand and took the woman out of the big tent.

The woman turned around and glanced at the other sisters, and the other women also got up one after another and boldly followed Mei Xiaoren away.

Mei Xiaoren knew in her heart that she couldn't take the generals, and the generals didn't dare to take her seriously. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, it has been this principle since ancient times, she Mei Xiaoren is undoubtedly the head snake here, even if she can't ask anyone, she doesn't need to be afraid of anyone.

After leaving the barracks, Ye Zhi asked in a low voice: "My lord, what if they refuse to borrow troops to help us suppress bandits?" ”

"On your own."

Mei Xiaoren only responded and scared Zhou Hu a lot. Killing it himself, doesn't that mean that he wants his brothers to be sent to death?

Zhou Hu snorted helplessly: "That general is really horizontal enough, and he is really eating the food of the imperial court." ”

Mei Xiaoren stopped and looked back at the barracks. The army would choose to be stationed here for other reasons besides the flat terrain, such as the sparkling brook next to it as their source of water.

She has no right to govern the people and things in the barracks, but even a foot out of the barracks is her territory, and she has the final say on where the river flows.

"Zhou Hu, go back and cut off the upstream stream for me!"

"Ah......h

"I don't raise a drop of water in Qiushui County, I don't raise a white-eyed wolf, I want to drink water and go elsewhere!"

On the way back to the county seat after leaving the barracks, Mei Xiaoren was not only angry but pondering the countermeasures to suppress the bandits, and did not notice that he was still holding a person in his hand.

Ye Zhi has been witnessing Mei Xiaoren leading the Qinglou woman forward, and it is not easy to remind him, but the repeated light coughs have not been able to attract Mei Xiaoren's attention.

Zhou Hu followed behind, snickering from time to time. Not only is the adult of his family not like other lords who have three wives and four concubines, but he has never been close to a woman, which is a matter of holding the hand of a female doll...... For the first time!

Mei Xiaoren walked for a long time before he came back to his senses, and found that he was still holding the woman, so he quickly let go of his hand and explained: "I was in a hurry, and I was rude." ”

The woman buried her head and bowed gently: "Little girl, thank you for your help." ”

The other women also bowed: "Thank you for your help." ”

"Don't you blame me for cutting off your business?"

The woman shook her head and sighed softly: "My lord doesn't know, we were all forced to come here, if it wasn't for the adults to take us away, we wouldn't know how to get out." ”

"Go back and tell you bustards, don't do business in the barracks outside the city in the future. It's not too early, so let's go back early. ”

Mei Xiaoren brought them out because he felt that these women were pitiful enough, and he couldn't bear to be ravaged by bastards who didn't treat women as human beings.

Now that the suburbs of Qiushui County are not peaceful, Mei Xiaoren asked Zhou Hu to send these girls back, leaving Ye Zhi with the lantern with her.

Mei Xiaoren saved the people of Qiushui County, and Ye Zhi couldn't wait to do something. He put down the lantern, squatted down beside it, took out the pen and paper he had brought with him, licked the pen and ink, and began to write it up by the candlelight.
