Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Handmaiden

Ja Jie took the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and in this battle, Ja Jie's soldiers suffered 21 casualties, killed 67 people on the other side, and captured 11 people alive, four of whom were seriously injured, and were directly beheaded by the soldiers, and there were still seven alive.

I heard that there is also an old man named Zhou Wenlong, but Ja Jie almost searched the entire manor and didn't find him. Finally, someone found a trace of water from the hole in the bedroom of the main house in the back house, and this is how the tunnel was discovered.

Looking at the rippling river water lapping on the steps, Jay Jie shook his head. Looking at the passage that has been flooded, it doesn't take much thought to know that this is a tunnel that kills people and kills mouths.

The water at the entrance of the cave was so fresh, it must have been caused by the river filling the tunnel in an instant. From this point of view, this tunnel has just been submerged, so Zhou Wenlong must have been buried in this tunnel.

Thinking about the water level of the Poplar River outside the city, Jay Jie smiled bitterly and smiled This Zhou Wenlong's body is not to be salvaged.

The enemy has been completely destroyed, and Jajie escorted the prisoners back to the city.

Li Zhi was frightened by a loud noise, and Ja Jie, who had just walked to the city gate, also saw the rising fireballs and pillars of smoke. Which direction is not far from the prince's rear army commander, the crown princess is not far away, but where is his fiancΓ©e Chen Juan.

Thinking of the attack on the camp a few days ago, who can guarantee that he will be able to arrive in time to get down to Chen Juan again. Ja Jie was immediately anxious, and immediately ordered the adjutant general to lead the army to escort the prisoners to the assassination mansion to pay the order, and he himself led thirty cavalry towards Xingyuan.

Thirty-one rode like a whirlwind to the gate of Xingyuan, and when he saw that the wind and waves were calm here, Jay Jie settled down.

The captain on duty at the gate knew Jay Jie, and he smiled: "Is General Abu worried about his daughter-in-law?" She's fine, the prince also sent someone to see it just now. Why don't you go in and have a look? ”

Ja Jie smiled innocently and said to the captain, "Thank you, Captain Shao." ”

As he spoke, he turned back and asked the thirty horsemen to dismount and rest, and he staggered into the line himself.

At the hanging flower gate leading to the backyard, Jay Jie saw Chen Juan waiting here. Seeing his fiancΓ©e waiting here, Jay Jie was surprised and delighted.

Seeing that Jalan Jie rushed over, Chen Juan's heart was also warm. Seeing his sweaty face, he couldn't help but take out a sweat towel to wipe his sweat.

Ja Jie has long known that although the girls of the Han family are not as hearty as the girls there are, they are more gentle and considerate. Chen Juan is so tender, Jay Jie's body has already been half crispy.

This general, who was wise and brave in front of the battle, is now left with only a smirk. Chen Juan couldn't help but blush with shame when she saw him staring at herself. Hurriedly stuffed the sweat towel into his hand, and said in a panic: "You wipe it yourself." ”

Ja Jie laughed even more idiot now, but he also liked to see Chen Juan look so shy, and he really wanted to take her home immediately.

Chen Juan suddenly remembered Zhang Wenyi's advice, and hurriedly said: "The crown princess is waiting for you in the back garden, pay attention not to let people see it when you go over." ”

Hearing this, Ja Jie couldn't help frowning, the crown princess was secretly summoned, what does this mean?

Chen Juan saw his suspicions, and she hurriedly said: "Although I don't know what the crown princess is going to do, I don't think she will harm you." You're my man, and I don't want her to hurt you. ”

Ja Jie thought about it and stretched out his arms to hug Chen Juan. Chen Juan was hugged by a man for the first time, leaning on his solid chest, smelling the smell of sweat on his body in his nose, he didn't feel a little disgusted, but felt at ease.

Feeling Chen Juan's dependence, Ja Jie relieved himself, let go of Chen Juan and strode towards the back garden.

When I entered the back garden, I saw the princess standing in the most conspicuous pavilion from a distance, doing needlework. Jay Jie cautiously walked over and stood outside the gazebo.

He crossed his hands and saluted: "The last general Jajie has come to meet Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." ”

Zhang Wenyi had already seen him coming, and then put down the needle and thread in his hand and pointed to the opposite position in the pavilion, and said with a light smile: "General Abu, please take a seat." ”

Ja Jie walked to the opposite side and sat down, he asked, "I don't know why Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess passed on a certain family to come." ”

Zhang Wenyi smiled faintly and said, "I think General Abu should have heard of my experience. ”

Ja Jie nodded, the experience of this crown princess Cheng Chubi told him. The feeling for her is different from Cheng Chubi, Cheng Chubi completely treats her as a weak little girl, but Ja Jie knows that this is a rose with thorns.

Zhang Wenyi pursed her lips and said, "Not only am I not the crown princess now, I don't even have a name, I can only be regarded as a living dead." In fact, there is much more to it than that, there are many crises around me, and it is difficult to guarantee tomorrow today. ”

Ja Jie knew that what the crown princess said was true, and these were not exaggerations.

Then I heard Zhang Wenyi continue: "So I need everyone's help now, but what I need is someone I can trust and the other party can trust me." ”

Speaking of this, Ja Jie has already understood the intention of the crown princess, and she wants to be loyal to her.

Ja Jie pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, you Han people have a saying: If you are not of my race, your heart will be different. I don't know why Your Highness would want to believe me. ”

Zhang Wenyi raised his eyes to look at Ja Jie and said, "General Abu, if we don't speak, how much difference do you think there is between us?" ”

Ja Jie thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "If you don't speak, I am no different from the Han soldiers under my command. ”

Then he suddenly asked, "Do you think I'm not of an alien race?" ”

Zhang Wenyi nodded and said, "You, Dangxiang, Xianbei, and Yan Yan should not be regarded as aliens, we are only different in language and living habits." You live in the mountains, Dangxiang and Xianbei live in the desert, and we live in the Central Plains. This is the reason why our living habits are different. If we want to say that the language is not compatible, in fact, the language of our Han people is also different, is it that we are also different? So we are not alien races, we can only say that we belong to different tribes. ”

Ja Jie said: "I have long heard that His Highness can do things that are not human, and Abu admires this very much. If His Highness is willing to trust, a certain family is also willing to be loyal to His Highness. ”

Zhang Wenyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "General Abu, I am not afraid of anything if I can have your support." ”

After speaking, Zhang Wenyi's eyes wandered, picked up the needle and thread at hand, lowered his head and said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "Wait a minute, if the prince asks, he will say that I came to you to talk about Chen Juan's marriage." Maybe I can't give you anything now, but you won't regret it in the future. Now you can go. ”

Ja Jie was taken aback when he heard this, but he was used to seeing the wind and waves, and his expression remained unchanged at this moment, so he got up and crossed his hands, and said, "Thank you Your Highness for your grace, Abu is grateful." ”

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

As soon as she walked into the courtyard, Chen Juan walked up and whispered, "The slave maid saw His Majesty's personal eunuch go to the back garden." ”

Zhang Wenyi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine." It's just that you may be getting married soon. ”

Chen Juan was taken aback when she heard this, and then she was overjoyed. Although Zhang Wenyi verbally married her to Ja Jie, as long as she didn't get married for a day, this matter was an illusion.

Ja Jie made meritorious service to save the prince this time, and received the attention of His Royal Highness the Prince. Now the crown princess also intends to woo him, as long as these two aspects can take a fancy to him, provoking Jie Fei Huang Tengda is just around the corner.

Being his wife is much more practical than being the prince's side concubine, just look at the situation of the crown princess, you can understand that even she is in the way of others, and she really doesn't even know how she died when she has no power and no power.

During this time, by Zhang Wenyi's side, she somewhat figured out the means of holding her own man. Today's knife test is really invincible, and Jay Jie was already moved beyond measure. As long as you can be careful in the future, no one can shake the status of this big wife.

Seeing Chen Juan's shy face, Zhang Wenyi couldn't help but complain secretly in her heart: her face was flushed, and she thought about her husband. This is really a rough word.

But Zhang Wenyi still had to remind her: "Are your own wedding dresses ready?" ”

Zhang Wenyi's question was like a basin of cold water to wake Cheng Juan up, saying that she had been following Princess Pingyang Zhao to be a nun with hair in the Changsheng Nunnery, where did she ever think of getting married? And most of her time is spent practicing martial arts, and she has never studied female celebrity at all, and this wedding dress is a floating cloud for her.

In ancient times, women were actually very particular about marrying, and they all said that the marriage was unhappy or not, just look at the wedding dress. If a girl's wedding dress is not embroidered well, then her marriage is not much better.

But now that she is really going to get married, the matter of this wedding dress suddenly gave Chen Juan a headache.

Zhang Wenyi smiled and said, "We can only buy anything else, but this wedding dress must not be bought, this is a lifetime thing." Recently, you don't care about anything else, so learn how to needlework and embroider wedding dresses with me! ”

In the evening, when Li Zhi came back, Zhang Wenyi stepped forward to help him change his long shirt, and he wanted to speak several times.

Li Zhi asked her with a smile: "Wife, what do you have to say directly, what are you polite to your husband." ”

Zhang Wenyi timidly walked to Li Zhi's side and said, "The concubine didn't discuss something with His Royal Highness, so she made the decision alone." Now that I think about it, it feels inappropriate, and I don't know how to tell His Highness. ”

Li Zhi turned around and walked in front of Zhang Wenyi, stretched out his hand to pick her chin, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's all up to you." Say, how should my husband punish you? ”

Zhang Wenyi knew that Li Zhi was not angry at this time, she still carefully hugged Li Zhi's waist and said, "Just this time, the concubine will never dare in the future." ”

Li Zhi laughed and said: "Then let's talk about what it is, if you can, my husband won't punish you today." ”

Zhang Wenyi lowered her head and said, "It's Chen Juan's business, the concubine wants to marry her off as soon as possible." ”

Li Zhi asked, "Why is she bad?" ”

Zhang Wenyi shook his head and said, "No, but Chen Juan is Aunt Pingyang's person after all, and the concubine is uncomfortable." Moreover, that Ja Jie is a very good general, and being able to win it over is also a help to His Highness. ”

Li Zhi pretended to be angry and said, "Hmph! Women are not allowed to interfere in politics, wife, you have gone too far! ”
