Chapter Ninety-Seven: An Undercurrent Surges

Qi Yu didn't think Commander Xiao was ridiculous. Qi Yu was originally guilty, but now Commander Xiao not only treated him politely, but also shouted at General Qi, which made the little woman a little flattered. ”

Shangguan Jiyue said flattered words, but her expression was calm, and her tone was even more calm, without the slightest fright.

Xiao Hong smiled, lowered his eyes and raised again: "You are a third-grade general with the emperor's imperial seal, and you have great military achievements, so you naturally deserve the title of Xiao's general." Besides, the emperor only ordered Xiao to come and detain General Qi to return to the dynasty to defend himself, and did not say that he wanted to tear off the rank of general, so there is nothing wrong with Xiao calling him like this, right? ”

Shangguan Jiyue's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she shot straight at Xiao Hong like a sword, her red lips opened lightly, and she said, "Then I don't know what Commander Xiao has heard here?" ”

"It's nothing," Xiao Hong met Shangguan Jiyue's gaze and said calmly, "I didn't hear a word that I should have heard, and I didn't hear a word that I shouldn't have heard." Xiao is not a person who likes to play with right and wrong, please rest assured General Qi, Xiao Mou's incident with Captain Mo tonight has not happened, and he will not mention it to anyone. ”

"Why?"

"Does it have to be for some reason? Although Xiao disdains the world and is not good at flexibility, he also knows the truth that more is better than less. General Qi returned to Jian'an with Xiao unharmed, Xiao's task was completed, and other things had nothing to do with Xiao. Now General Qi can rest assured, right? ”

Shangguan Jiyue stared at Xiao Hong tightly for a long time, she was not worried about her identity being revealed, but worried that if Mo Yi's whereabouts tonight were known by people with ill intentions, it would be a potential danger to him.

At this time, seeing Xiao Hong's gentlemanly and frank appearance, it was indeed that she was too cautious and cautious. couldn't help but retract his cold gaze, bowed to him, and said, "Qi Yu is here to thank Commander Xiao for Captain Mo." ”

Xiao Hong looked at the woman in front of him with burning eyes, his heart was full of emotion, and his eyes showed even more appreciation. Such a affectionate and righteous woman really embarrassed those hypocrites who were sanctimonious and betrayed their friends.

He immediately returned the salute, and without saying a word, jumped off the roof.

Shangguan Jiyue looked at the direction in which Xiao Hong's figure disappeared, stood in place and was stunned for a while, then quickly withdrew her gaze and looked up at the dark sky overhead.

A gust of night wind blew, raising her three thousand green silks to fly, blowing her plain robe to hunt. Under the night sky, plain clothes and black hair, a slender figure stood proudly, like a Nine Heavens Xuannu who had fallen into the mortal dust by mistake, and the beauty was incomprehensible......

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was overcast, and the two of them casually took a few bites of breakfast and prepared to leave. The shopkeeper had already brought horses for them and stood in the courtyard waiting.

Seeing the two of them coming out, they immediately stepped forward respectfully, lowered their heads and lowered their eyes on the horse rope, but they didn't dare to look at Shangguan Jiyue again. It wasn't until the two of them turned over and galloped away that the shopkeeper straightened up slightly and let out a long breath.

"Thank you last night."

The hoarse and low voice that suddenly sounded behind him startled the shopkeeper, he turned around sharply, and saw that it was the boy in Tsing Yi who came to stay last night, so he patted his chest and said, "I'm scared to death!" This boy, didn't you see it, the expression of the handsome boy who asked me about you last night was too scary! Next time, even if you give me more money, I will never do it! It's in vain to make money and spend it, and the little one hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet! ”

Hearing this, the boy in Tsing Yi stretched out his pale and thin fingers, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed heavily. The same pale complexion exposed under the black mask was flushed with cough for a while.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper kindly asked, "Childe, are you okay?" ”

The man in Tsing Yi waved his hand, signaling that he was fine.

After a long time, the cough slowly eased, he straightened up his thin and thin figure, looked at the direction of Shangguan Jiyue's departure through the mask with a pair of clear eyes, as if talking to himself, and said slowly: "She is the kindest person in the world, and she will not kill people indiscriminately......"

The shopkeeper didn't know why, but when he saw that he was carrying a package, he asked, "Is Childe going to leave too?" ”

"I'm tired of the little second brother going to lead the horse for me.

"It should be, it should be." The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, and trotted to the backyard.

After a while, the shopkeeper led a red horse over, and the man in Tsing Yi immediately turned over and got on the horse, ran out of the small inn, and galloped all the way north.

The twentieth day of the first month.

Every year on this day is the day when the emperor opened the seal, and it has not changed for nearly 30 years. And this year, the emperor made an exception to open the seal ahead of schedule and end the holiday, and the people also spread it.

First, because the emperor finally announced to the world that he would send troops to attack Nanchi. The second reason is that today's Jinluan Palace wants hundreds of officials to judge the famous Qi General - Qi Yu.

Qi Yu blended into the military camp as a delicate daughter, and Huaiyang became famous all over the world in World War I, and was promoted to the leader of the three armies by virtue of his outstanding military merits, ranking as a third-rank general. This is an extremely difficult thing for a man to do, but she has done it as a weak woman, and it can definitely be called a legendary story.

However, this legend is not tolerated by the world, because Beicang has never had a precedent for women to join the army since the founding of the dynasty. One can imagine how strong the shock to the world is when a woman joins the army and becomes a Sanpin general.

The perception that a woman who has always been considered a weak person by the world can also be a general subverts the narrow concept of the world. In this era of male superiority and inferiority, this shock is still strong. It made some people panic even more.

Of course, most of these people are stubborn men. They fear that women who have always been in very low status will become equal to them once they have this precedent, which they do not want to see in any way.

They have become accustomed to being on top and to looking down on a woman's perspective. And women also seem to have been oppressed by these worldly ideas for too long, so long that they forget to resist, forget to struggle, and become a habit, and can only accept it. thought that this was a matter of course, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame yourself for voting for a woman.

However, the appearance of Qi Yu was like a thunderstorm in the nine heavens, splitting a deep crack in this secular city wall. She used her actions to tell the world that women are no worse than men, and women who can do what men can do, or even do better.

Some men panicked, even frightened, and they tried their best to seal the crack. Lowly women should not be allowed to sit on an equal footing with them, and one day they may even have to listen to their orders, bow to them, and kneel down to worship.

Just thinking about it, they feel that it is difficult to sleep and eat, and they feel that it is a great shame.

Therefore, the sky was cloudy, and before it was fully bright, in the imperial city, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered early in the splendid main hall, and they stood on both sides of the hall one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, standing in the hall and whispering, determined to give the female general a dismount.
