Chapter 138: To the Front
"No, I should thank you, otherwise, I will be determined by this pot." Hui Shangxian has been with Xiao Li for a long time, and he has also learned to come up with a few modern words, although it is full of disobedience.
Xiao Li couldn't help but chuckle, and the tension just now was swept away.
"I remember your reminder, let's all go back to work, I'll check the details of that woman." Xiao Li patted Hui Shangxian on the shoulder, and the two returned to the camp together.
It's just that this incident still made Xiao Li feel a pimple in his heart, he didn't expect Xiao Wanyin, this woman to be so difficult, it seems that he really underestimated her before, and he had to ask someone to investigate her details.
Xiao Wanyin, who left with Hui Shangyi, also had her own plans in her heart.
Just now she was taken aback by Hui Shangyi's attitude, and she became even more resentful of Xiao Li in her heart.
If it weren't for Xiao Li, she would have succeeded in becoming the young lady of Huifu now, but now she wouldn't even have a chance to be a concubine.
Unexpectedly, this plan failed again, not only failed to destroy Xiao Li's catapult, but it is estimated that she has to be more defensive of herself, and it seems that she has to think of a way.
At the same time, the Wu family received the latest news in Fuzhong.
Originally, after hearing that the gang of gangsters who surrounded Xiao Li fled to other places, she estimated that the clue was about to be broken, and she was in a hurry, but now she has a clue.
"Madam, this girl may have seen Miss Xiao Wanyin at the back door on the day they went out."
The female secret guard sent by the Wu clan to investigate brought a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl that the Wu clan had seen in the mansion several times before.
"Really?" Wu was very surprised, "Are you sure it's her?" ”
"Not sure." When the female dark guard heard Wu's words, she shook her head.
"Yes......" A flash of disappointment flashed in Wu's eyes, and he looked at the little girl, "Can you tell me what you saw at the time?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, the slave maid was ordered to clean the backyard that morning, but she saw a woman wearing a white veil and a hat sneaking out of the back door." The little girl said seriously.
"This woman is really cunning." Wu scolded secretly, covering his face with a hat, even if she was seen, she couldn't prove that it was her. The means are very clever.
Wu Shi thought for a while, took the little girl's hand affectionately, and asked, "Girl, you tell me seriously, don't be shy, that woman...... Big breasts? Is it in good shape? ”
The female secret guard next to her couldn't help pinching a cold sweat, she had followed the Wu family for many years, and she was not surprised that the Wu family asked such an explicit question, but it was different for the little girl who had only been here for a short time.
"Slave maid, slave maid think...... That's a beauty indeed. The little girl herself has just reached the age of cardamom, where has she heard such a question, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she said hesitantly.
However, although this is very subtle, it can also make the Wu clan understand the meaning.
"Hmph. I knew it was the vixen, and she must have done what happened that day. Wu pursed his lips, and probably guessed what was going on.
At that time, Hui Shangyi and Xiao Li reconciled and wanted to go out to visit the lake, basically everyone in the house knew that it was not difficult to follow the two people in advance, and it was enough to find someone to act when the time came.
Wu asked the female secret guard to take the little girl back, don't make a noise about this matter, and secretly made up her mind to find out.
Hui Shangyi has been in Yucheng for a while, and when he came here, he left all military affairs and handed them over to Xie Yunxiu to take care of.
The matter itself is not serious, but recently, he received a report from the front line, and the enemy has recently moved again.
But Xiao Li's side has not been properly resolved, and Hui Shangyi doesn't know whether he should go back or not. The importance of combat is to have no distracting thoughts, and one's current state is not suitable for fighting, but at the moment of the great enemy, we must not sit idly by.
Hui Yuzhong, as the head of the family, invited the two brothers Hui Shangyi and Hui Shangxian, as well as the Wu family and Xiao Li, who represented the women's army, to come to discuss, their family has always been loyal to the country, and now there is a war, and they must contribute.
Although Xiao Li was reluctant to meet Hui Shangyi in his heart, he also carried the main and secondary. So when he received the order, he followed the Wu clan without hesitation.
Although Hui Yuzhong is over half a hundred years old, he still looks like a family head who is not angry and arrogant, and he is usually relatively modest to others, but once he encounters business, the momentum on his body, like a moaning lion, is revealed.
"Gather everyone here today, I think you also know the reason, the front line, people are needed." Hui Yuzhong's voice was very low, but it was loud and clear, and it reached everyone's ears clearly.
Everyone had a nervous look on their faces, and everyone knew that the seriousness of this matter, although it was done, was definitely a great opportunity to make a contribution, but in case there was a mistake, it was the lower city of the horse leather shroud, and it had always been the case with the army. new
The Wu family and Xiao Li also have their own calculations in their hearts, this time may not be a good opportunity for their women's army, after so long of hard work, it's time to give them a chance to do a real job, if it goes well, maybe the emperor can notice it and become a legitimate army.
"I've thought about the people who will fight." Hui Yuzhong continued, like an elder in the posture, although he is too old to fight, but the Hui family is not short of candidates to fight.
The people below, after hearing this, were a little nervous, and the air became hot.
Especially Hui Shangxian, he didn't know if his father saw his progress in Yucheng this time, among these people, he was the only one who had never been on a real battlefield and had made military achievements, and he had always longed for such an opportunity in his heart.
"Yi'er, I want you to be the main general of this battle and lead the Hui family's army, no problem, right?" Hui Yuzhong first looked at Hui Shangyi.
This result was not expected by everyone present, Hui Shangyi is not only Hui Yuzhong's most favored eldest son, but also Hui Yuzhong's right-hand man, who has won many battles and sat in the position of major general at a young age.
And Hui Shangyi himself hesitated, he was also struggling with whether to fight or not, and it was precisely because of this that he did not make it clear until Hui Yuzhong personally appointed him.
However, when he raised his head and saw the burning eyes of many people present, including Hui Yuzhong, falling on him, he finally strengthened his mind.
"No problem!" He stepped forward and said loudly.
This is his mission to be born to gallop on the battlefield all his life, even if it is to spill all his blood.
The emotions of the people around him were ignited, and they applauded again and again, most of the people present were rough people who practiced martial arts, and they didn't pay so much attention to the rules, all based on their true temperament.
Hui Yuzhong nodded with satisfaction, and then appointed several lieutenants, who had also followed Hui Shangyi in the past to birth and death, and they were basically trustworthy in terms of ability.
But in the end, his eyes fell on Xiao Li.
Xiao Li faintly had a bad premonition in his heart, if he wanted the Women's Army to participate in the war, he should go directly to the Wu family.
"Li'er, you are my daughter-in-law, and you are also a major general of the Women's Army, and you have recently developed a new weapon. I want you to go to the front with a catapult, which can be regarded as a real combat experiment, how about it? "Hui Yuzhong really wanted Xiao Li to go to the front line.
"But......" Xiao Li hesitated.
"I know, you are also a daughter, and your safety is fully guaranteed by Yi'er." Hui Yuzhong added.
"Yes!" Hui Shangyi was excited when he heard that he could take Xiao Li with him, and said loudly beside him.
Xiao Li hesitated not because he was afraid of death, but Hui Yuzhong's appearance made her understand that on the surface, she wanted her to experiment with catapults, but in fact, she still had to match her with Hui Shangyi.
Unexpectedly, at such a critical juncture, this old man still cares about his precious son's lifelong affairs.
Xiao Li complained silently in his heart, and then looked at Wu for help, but he didn't expect that Wu had no opinion at all, and made a "come on" gesture to himself.
Xiao Li rolled her eyes at the Wu clan and retracted her gaze, she should have thought that this husband and wife were one heart.
"Okay, I'm willing to go to the front." Xiao Li finally chose to compromise, she knew that Hui Yuzhong was also thinking about himself by doing this, and if he refused, it would seem that he was too ignorant.
"Okay, worthy of being the daughter-in-law of my Hui family." Hui Yuzhong was very satisfied, and looked around at these people present.
is full of vigorous faces, like him who was high-spirited back then, and after so many years, it can be regarded as a small achievement. Now, it's time to step back and give young people a chance to show themselves.
Therefore, although he knew in his heart that he should go through the Wu clan to use the power of the Women's Army, he did not do so.
The Wu clan had worked so hard with him for so long, and there had been a very unpleasant incident before, and now, it was time for her to rest. This time, he wanted to leave all the things on the front line to the young people.
Hui Shangyi saw Xiao Li agree, and showed a snickering expression on the side, looking very obscene, and was ridiculed by several iron buddies who fought together all year round.
"Li'er, you have to be careful everywhere when you go to the front line, your kung fu is not low, it should be no problem to protect yourself, and when necessary, you must learn to give up." Although Wu had just encouraged Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi to go to the front line together, this time he took Xiao Li's hand and told him uneasily.
Xiao Li originally had some complaints about the Wu family, but now he couldn't help but smile when he saw the Wu family like this, and said, "Don't worry, mother, I won't have a problem." ”
After everything was done on the hour, Hui Yuzhong let everyone disperse, go back to recuperate, pack up his softness, choose a good day, and go to the front line together.
