Chapter 196: Two Brides
?
Xiang Yu only took Xiang Qing into account when planning the wedding, and while he was preparing to marry Xiang Qing, in the military camp of the Chu army, another person was also preparing to marry a 'daughter'.
This person is Fan Zeng, and while Wu Wei was in contact with Fan Zeng, he also found 'Meng' Su. After a long conversation with 'Meng' Su, she was finally persuaded to visit Fan Zeng often.
Fan Zeng, who is in his seventies, has not returned home since he followed Xiang Liang's expedition to the west. After being away for many years, this old man naturally can't get rid of the longing for his hometown and relatives.
The appearance of 'Meng' Su just made up for the emptiness in Fan Zeng's heart. Although 'Meng' Su is the queen of the 'door', her 'sexual' personality is not as hot as Xiang Qing's, although sometimes she will be more brutal to Xiang Ye, that is because she regards Xiang Ye as her man, and outside, she has always maintained a gentle image.
It's not that Fan Zeng hasn't seen 'Meng' Su, but after an in-depth long talk with 'Meng' Su, he fell in love with this 'female' baby who looked gentle and lovely, but was full of a bit of heroism.
"'Meng' Su, the old man has known that you have been in the barracks for a long time, and today is the first time I have had such an in-depth 'exchange' with you. If you are a man, you must be a general who can command the three armies, Xiang Ye will marry you back, coupled with Xiang Qing's bravery and courage, with your assistance, his future future is really limitless! Fan Zeng held the tea bowl with tea in his hand, took a sip and said to 'Meng' Su: "I hope he won't become the enemy of the general!" β
"Father laughed!" Meng Su smiled slightly and said to Fan Zeng: "Since I followed Xiang Ye, he has always admired and admired the general, and often praised the general in front of me as the only hero in the world. I can use the reputation of my girl's family to vouch that Xiang Ye will never have two hearts for the general. However, he has a 'problem', if the father has the opportunity, please advise him! β
Fan Zeng put the tea bowl on the table in front of him, smiled at 'Meng' Su and said, "What 'is wrong' with General Xiang Ye?" If you want the old man to persuade him, I'm afraid you have to tell the old man some of the things you said between the pillows! β
'Meng' Su pursed his lips, his face was as red as a big red cloth, and he lowered his head and said to Fan Zeng: "What 'Meng' Su wants to say is not about the pillow seat, but that Xiang Ye is very disgusted with Pei Gong, and what happened in Pei Gong's military camp back then, he will never forget it. The previous time in the Hong 'Gate', he learned that Pei Gong was going to personally go to the general to ask for guilt, and ambushed the crossbowmen around the general's tent, and also ambushed the knife and axe men outside the Yuan 'Gate', just waiting for Pei Gong to come and take his 'life'. Later, if it hadn't been for the hard persuasion of everyone under his tent, he would never have withdrawn the people who had been ambushed, and I am afraid that a catastrophe would have been caused long ago! Although we know that he withdrew the ambush in the camp, we don't know that he also left people on the road, I heard that those soldiers had already stopped Pei Gong, if someone hadn't rescued him, I'm afraid Pei Gong would have become a dead man! β
Fan Zeng listened to what 'Meng' Su said, his face 'color' changed very strangely, and as soon as 'Meng' Su's words fell, he continued: "It's a pity, if I had known that Xiang Ye had this plan, I would definitely not have discussed with the general the opportunity to discuss the plain 'wave', and I would have secretly arranged to remove Liu Bang!" β
After listening to Fan Zeng's words, 'Meng' Su was stunned for a moment, and said with some astonishment: "Could it be that Father Fei also wants to kill Pei Gong?" β
Fan Zeng didn't answer her question directly, but smiled at her and said: "The old man has never returned to his hometown since following General Xiang Liang's westward expedition, and now he is very lonely here. In the future, we will take care of each other! β
Meng Su didn't expect Fan Zeng to suddenly say that he wanted to recognize her as a righteous 'girl', he was taken aback, and looked at Fan Zeng in amazement and asked in an incredible tone: "Father Ya really wants to recognize me as a righteous 'daughter'?" β
Fan Zeng smiled and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, 'Meng' Su hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of Fan Zeng, bowed down three times and said, "Father is above, please accept the 'daughter' to worship!" β
"Haha, get up!" Fan Zeng smiled and stretched out his hand to pick up 'Meng' Su and said to her: "Since you recognize me as a father, then I will tell you something." The general is preparing for the marriage of Xiang Ye and Xiang Qing, and if the Xiang family marries a 'daughter', I Fan Zeng can naturally marry. From today onwards, I will ask people to prepare a dowry, how about handling your marriage with Xiang Qing's? β
'Meng' Su and Xiang Ye have long been husband and wife, all they lack is a name, and she also knows that Xiang Yu wants to marry Xiang Qing, originally her and Xiang Ye's plan was that Xiang Qing would go out of the 'door' from Xiang Yu that day, and she would go out of the 'door' in the barracks. Now that Fan Zeng has taken the initiative to ask her to marry from Fan Zeng, it is naturally much better than going out of the barracks, and of course she has no reason to refuse.
"Thank you, father!" Meng Su lowered her head and thanked her with a shy face, and after talking to Fan Zeng again, she said goodbye and returned to the barracks to tell Xiang Ye about this happy event.
After Meng Su left, Fan Zeng stood outside the 'door' and looked at her back and sighed and said to himself: "'Meng' Su, don't blame your father-in-law, your father-in-law is also for the general's hegemony, Xiang Ye is too good, if such a person has no ambition, if he is ambitious, he will definitely be the general's fierce enemy, and the harm will even exceed Liu Bang, only if you and Xiang Qing tie Xiang Ye at the same time, I can let down my guard against him!" β
A few days later, there was still no news from Pengcheng, but the Chu army's barracks were full of lights, especially Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng's big tents, which were 'covered' with red brocade outside the tent, a festive scene.
Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng stood outside the big tent respectively, with a smile on their faces, they kept greeting the people who came to congratulate them, and many Chu army generals and princes carried large and small boxes to Xiang Yu's tent to send a few boxes first, and then to Fan Zeng's tent to send the remaining boxes. It didn't take long for the two large tents to be filled with wooden boxes of all sizes, large and small, filled with all kinds of luxury goods.
Xiang Ye was wearing armor, and a red 'flower' made of red silk hung in front of his 'chest'. He stood outside the barracks with a smile on his face and greeted the generals and princes who had come to congratulate him.
"Haha, Xiang Ye, congratulations, I married two daughters-in-law 'women' at once, one of these two daughters-in-law 'women' is the general's sister-in-law, and the other is the father's righteous 'daughter'! You are really blessed, my brother will have to rely on you in the future! Xiang Ye had just sent a few congratulatory generals into the barracks, when a big man with black letters tattooed on his face slapped him the shoulder and laughed.
Seeing the person who came, Xiang Ye hurriedly arched his hand to him and said with a smile: "General Yingbu came to attend the wedding of the last general, it is really brilliant." The general must have a few more drinks today, heroes like the general are here, and I, Xiang Ye, have a lot of face! β
"Hahahaha!" Yingbu raised his head and laughed, put his arms around Xiang Ye's shoulders, put his mouth to his ear, first looked around in a daze, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered: "You are married to two 'women' heroes, they are not opponents of ordinary men on the battlefield, you have to pay attention to your body tonight!" Don't be tired and weak tomorrow morning, it's the right thing to stay or not! β
After listening to Yingbu's words, Xiang Ye lightly punched his 'chest' and scolded with a smile: "The general's hero on the battlefield, it turns out that there are so many unbearable things in his head 'private'!" β
After hearing this, Yingbu laughed a few times, put his arm around Xiang Ye's shoulders and said to him: "Man, no matter how heroic you are on the battlefield, when you see a 'woman', you and my brother are not outsiders, so why bother with those clichΓ©s." Okay, brother, don't delay your welcome, let's go in first! β
Looking at Yingbu's departing back, although Xiang Ye's face was full of smiles, his heart was full of sighs.
Yingbu is also a great hero, if it weren't for the battle of Julu that Yingbu and General Pu led the army to kill the Qin army that had come to block the Chu army from crossing the river, which boosted the morale of the Chu army, and then attacked the grain route of the Qin army and cut off their grain and grass, the outcome of that battle is still difficult to say.
If Xiang Ye didn't know what would happen in the future, he would definitely become friends with Yingbu. But he knew what would happen in the future, and he also knew that Yingbu would become his enemy sooner or later, and he didn't want to get too close to the enemy in the future, otherwise he would probably be like Xiang Yu would be like Xiang Yu did with Liu Bang.
More and more people came to congratulate him, and in Xiang Ye's barracks, a team of personal soldiers held wine jars and delicacies in their hands and shuttled between the camp tent and an open space surrounded by camp tents.
Many of the generals of the Chu army and the allied forces of the princes who came first sat at the low tables in the open space in order, laughing and talking loudly with each other, and the military camp was noisy, but it was also very lively.
"Here comes the bride! Here comes the bride! With the sound of drums, eight sergeants dressed in red and colored carried a sedan chair into the barracks.
Xiang Ye hurriedly stepped forward and waited outside the 'flower' sedan chair, and an officer of the "Women's Army" walked to the sedan chair and bowed down to the person sitting in the sedan chair and said: "General Xiang has been waiting here for a long time, please get off the sedan chair for the 'female' general!" β
The 'female' officer finished speaking, and eight sergeants dropped the sedan chair on the ground. Xiang Ye stepped forward to open the sedan curtain, only to see 'Meng' Su, who was wearing a red brocade robe, biting his lip and bowing his head in the sedan chair.
"'Meng' Su, come out, everyone is waiting!" Xiang Ye bent down and said with a smile to the 'Meng' Su in the sedan chair.
"You carry me!" 'Meng' Su, who was originally with his head down and a shy face, raised his head and smiled sweetly at him when he heard Xiang Ye's voice, stretched out his arms and said, "I want you to carry me into the barracks!" β
"Great!" Xiang Ye answered, turned his back to the sedan chair, and bowed down.
A pair of soft little hands rested on Xiang Ye's shoulders, and he put his hands behind his back, holding Meng Su's two small buttocks, carrying her and walking towards the barracks.
As soon as he entered the barracks, the princes and generals who had arrived in advance suddenly coaxed, and many people stood up and shouted at Xiang Ye.
Xiang Ye was thick-skinned enough to feel anything, but 'Meng' Su was flushed with shame and buried his head in his back.
As soon as 'Meng' Su was sent back to the big tent, before Xiang Ye had time to catch his breath, there was another burst of drums, and the officer in charge of the ceremonial ceremony stood outside the barracks and shouted again: "The bride has arrived!" β~
