Chapter 65: Hatred Grows Secretly

The little รท said โ—Ž Net], the โ™‚ little รท said โ—Ž Net],

The Xiongnu live outside the pass all the year round, regardless of men, women and children all grow up on horseback, very brave, although there are many garrisons in the border city, but in the face of the attack of fighting again and again, as the commander of the five princes Zhu Bin only felt a headache, eager to go back home immediately, away from this place filled with blood and gunpowder.

Compared with the Fifth Prince, Chu Qinghe was extremely stable, his eyes had already recovered, and even the lame leg that had been injured before was pretended to be in order to lower the defenses of others.

However, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and the man couldn't bear to let his soldiers lose their lives, so he found a military doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and his body slowly "recovered".

Chu Qinghe has long had the name of the god of war in the border city, and the people love him very much, but the Huns were terrified when they heard this reputation.

I thought that the auxiliary generals of the Dayu Dynasty had already become a wasted person, not to worry, how to think that the blind eyes could be restored, the general of the Hun leading the army was named A Guta, when he first heard about this, he was so close to not falling off the horse, he suspected that this was an empty city plan made by the Han people, so he set up an ambush ten miles away from the camp, and led his brave elite soldiers to rush out of the camp directly, ready to attack the city.

Before the Xiongnu army arrived at the city, Chu Qinghe led his soldiers out of the city gate, carrying knives and fighting with A Gu.

The Xiongnu muscles and bones are strong, but in terms of martial arts, they are far inferior to Chu Qinghe, and a few breaths of kung fu will fall into disadvantage.

Seeing the long knife waving, the cold light bursted, this tall and sturdy Hun man gritted his teeth, his eyes were scarlet, and he wanted to lead the Han soldiers into an ambush, and shouted:

"Return to camp!"

The Xiongnu's riding skills were far stronger than those of Dayu's soldiers, and the horses were also very strong, and they had the intention to escape, and others could not stop them at all.

The guerrilla general Zhao Guokun chased after him on horseback, and when he passed the Chu Qing River, his eyes showed a little disdain, as if he was ridiculing him for being timid.

The man's dark pupils narrowed slightly, without the slightest intention of blocking, Zhao Guokun was originally his confidant, but he didn't know when he became the person of the Five Princes, and the reason why he fell from the horse back then was the handwriting of the Five Princes.

Looking at the galloping figure, the adjutant general asked in a low voice, "General, do we want to follow?" โ€

Chu Qinghe shook his head, pulled the reins hard, and turned the horse's head, "Poor Kou Mo chases, since Zhao Guokun is so brave, what are you stealing the limelight from him?" โ€

After returning to the city with the army, the five princes stood on the city tower, looking at the man who was covered in blood and qi, like a god coming to the world, and couldn't help but breathe.

"Chu Qinghe, as an auxiliary general, you didn't expect to be so cowardly, even Guokun dared to chase those stragglers, and you led the troops back to the city, which is really a shame for us."

When the adjutant general heard this, the corners of his forehead burst into green tendons, his chest swelled, and he couldn't wait to rush forward to reason with the five princes.

Pulling his arm, Chu Qinghe's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, "The lower official's injury has not healed, and when he fought with Ah Gu, he already felt a little weak, naturally he is not as brave as the guerrilla general, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me." โ€

As he spoke, he bowed his hand slightly, and left the city gate with his men.

Staring at the back of the group leaving, the faces of the five princes turned blue and white, constantly changing, how ugly it was.

"General, if we don't go after it, I'm afraid the five princes will not be happy." The adjutant whispered.

"The people who followed Zhao Guokun to chase Ah Gu Da are all the henchmen of this His Royal Highness, Ah Gu is more cunning than a jackal, how many of those stinky fish and rotten shrimp can come back alive?"

As the commander, Chu Qinghe hoped that his soldiers would work together to deal with the Huns, but the soldiers who were bought by the five princes were like rats in the granary, not only useless, but also dragged their feet everywhere to make stumbling blocks.

Chu Qinghe was extremely disgusted with people like this who disregarded the overall situation for his own selfish interests, so he knew that today was a plan to lure the enemy, but he did not stop Zhao Guokun.

Less than two hours later, the soldiers who had gone to chase the enemy turned back as quickly as refugees who had been plagued, and they kept screaming, "There is an ambush!" There is an ambush! โ€

Even if the fifth prince standing on the city tower couldn't hear clearly, he saw this scene of hasty escape, how could he not guess what happened?

The soldiers in the city hurriedly opened the city gates and let the embarrassed compatriots in.

As a guerrilla general, Zhao Guokun also has some prestige in the army, but at this moment he is being carried by two personal soldiers, his legs are strangely twisted, and his face is like gold paper.

The fifth prince trembled, clenched his fists with both hands, and slammed it on the rough and cold wall tiles, his knuckles overflowed with a trace of blood, but he didn't seem to feel pain, his face was hideous, and his expression was fierce, which was in stark contrast to the light wind and moon at the beginning.

Chu Qinghe's face appeared in his mind, and the resentment in the heart of the fifth prince became more and more intense, the person surnamed Chu must have guessed that there was an ambush, he deliberately calculated Zhao Guokun!

He's so bold, even if he's an auxiliary general? It's just a dog raised by his father, and he dares not to put himself in his eyes, one day, one day......

------

Xue Su didn't know anything about the border city, she stayed in the capital, and her life was very comfortable, every day she either went to stay in Yan Ruyu or rested in the master bedroom.

Because Chu Qinghe is Tan Zheng's righteous son, she will prepare the New Year's gift and send it to Tan's mansion every New Year's holiday, although the gift is not expensive, but it will not make people find fault.

Even if the mother and daughter of the Tan family don't look down on a rural village girl, the border city has reported good news, and the auxiliary general has recovered from his old illness and defeated the Huns, which is a real merit.

The so-called daughter is easy to get and good will be hard to find, since Chu Qinghe's eyes recovered, His Majesty has attached great importance to him, and the flowing rewards continue to be sent to the general's mansion, making others jealous and red-eyed.

The Tan family and the Chu family are grasshoppers on the same rope, and Tan Yuanqing is not a stupid person, so he will come to visit every now and then.

She thought that an illiterate woman like Xue would definitely rush to slap herself, but she didn't know what to do, and at this moment she was leaning steadily on the soft couch, as if she had no bones, this virtue was really breathtaking.

"Su Niang, the leader of the Huns, Ah Guta, was seriously injured, and the righteous brother will be back soon, he has made great achievements, and he will definitely be rewarded."

When she said this, the woman's slightly sharp nails clucked at her palms, leaving crescent-shaped red marks on the delicate flesh, but Tan Yuanqing didn't seem to feel any pain, with a light smile on her face, she advanced and retreated.

As soon as he heard that Chu Qinghe would be back soon, Xue Su's eyes widened in an instant, his black eyes were shining, and his cheeks were floating with a trace of crimson, like peach blossoms in March, a crescent moon at night, beautiful and incomprehensible, coupled with that look of expectation, it could simply melt people's hearts.

Her heart beat wildly in her chest, forcibly suppressing the surging emotions, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, "The reward is still secondary, as long as the general can return safely, I will be satisfied." โ€

Tan Yuanqing secretly sneered, feeling that Xue Su was extremely hypocritical, if it weren't for Chu Qinghe fighting for his life on the battlefield, how could a vulgar and lowly person like her live a good life? It's whimsical.

"You can't say that, a good man is determined to protect his family and defend the country, which is his duty, and this time he may be able to earn a life for you to come back, and then it will be beautiful."

Xue Su smiled and nodded, but did not answer, she has lived two lives, she should have seen it a long time ago, she is greedy for money and profit, but she also has a bottom line, and she is unwilling to exchange her husband's blood for glory and wealth.

If it was possible, she hoped that Chu Qinghe would never go to the battlefield again and live a peaceful life, as for his reputation, it was secondary.

Without speculating for more than half a sentence, although the two women sat facing each other, they were actually not all the way, if it weren't for the man at the head of the family, I am afraid that they would have torn their faces a long time ago.

Tan Yuanqing didn't stay long before leaving Tonghua Lane, and when she arrived home, she went directly to Mrs. Tan.

After taking a sip of tea, the woman's Qingli face had a trace of resentment, "What kind of shit luck did you say the Xue family took, and they were able to climb to this point, the surname Chu was originally just a wasted person, and when he returned from victory this time, maybe he would be knighted." โ€

Mrs. Tan glanced at her lightly, "Qinghe has gone further, which is also a rare good thing for our Tan Mansion." โ€

I understand this truth in my heart, but Tan Yuanqing is still very depressed, back then, she couldn't look down on Chu Qinghe, so she planned to withdraw from the marriage, and now that person is beautiful, doesn't it mean that she is blind and can't tell the difference between fish eyes and pearls?

"Even if it's a good thing, you can't let the Xue family take advantage, this woman is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, staying by my brother's side, sooner or later he will be separated from our family, and I'm afraid it won't be good at that time."

Hearing this, Mrs. Tan's face gradually became solemn, and the Buddhist beads in her hand turned quickly.

"The pillow wind has a great impact on men, although Qinghe is brave and good at fighting, but he is not very wary of women, otherwise with his identity, he would not have married in Jingyang at the beginning."

Seeing his mother's frowns, Tan Yuanqing's eyes flickered slightly, and he proposed, "Mother, don't forget, there is a concubine in my uncle's family, who is very beautiful, not worse than that Xue family, maybe it can also come in handy." โ€

The concubine in her mouth is a girl from the Hou Mansion of Chengen, named Xiao Xinian, one year older than her daughter Xiao Yingnian, because of her embarrassing identity, she gave birth to a charming fox face, and she didn't like Mrs. Hou, so she delayed the family affair and has not married yet.

"I have to discuss this matter with your grandmother, I regret that I am also Miss Houfu in the end, and I am afraid that I will lose face if I am a concubine."

"What's there to be ashamed of? She is just a concubine, and she is not worthy of being the main room for others, if she can really get the favor of Chu Qinghe, it will be a great creation, and when the time comes, she will use a little means to get rid of the Xue family and straighten her up, so that the general's mansion and our Tan family will no longer be separated. โ€
