Chapter 39: Sudden War
But this also means that he will close the store from now on and no longer get involved in the rouge industry, which is really a fatal blow to him.
"I'm afraid Mingyue Fang is going to end this time..."
"Who made him so excited and make such a heavy bet."
Everyone was ready to watch the joke on the side, but the shopkeeper didn't expect to lose, and he didn't even think about it.
Coupled with so many people watching, even if you want to deny it, you can't deny it.
Just when he was at a loss, Yu Yaozhi spoke.
"You don't have to close Mingyuefang, I was offended when I first arrived, I just hope that the shopkeeper can take care of it in the future, you and I are both businessmen, there is no need to be so stiff."
Yu Yaozhi's words can be said to have given Mingyuefang enough face, and he would rather lower his face than stiffen the relationship.
And Mingyuefang obviously didn't expect it.
"You..."
"Today's competition is just to learn from each other, and the shopkeeper should not take it seriously."
With that, he turned to the spectators.
"Everyone, you are here to witness, go to our fair rouge shop today, buy one get one free! Just one day! ”
When everyone heard that there was such a good thing, they all went to that place one after another.
Yu Miaozhi knew that he would win, so he asked Huzi to arrange everything early, and the store was now full, and he couldn't get in.
"Why did you help me?"
The shopkeeper came over and asked, he was more surprised than puzzled.
"There has to be a way out of everything, so that we can see each other later, don't we?"
These words are also a reminder that Mingyuefang is good at doing it for itself. After that, he left with Xie Lanzhou.
"I didn't expect Madame to be so kind?"
Xie Lanzhou quipped.
"Do you still have to say that? I have to take all the stray puppies on the road home and raise them. ”
With that, he smiled and walked quickly.
Xie Lanzhou reacted for a while, and then realized that this seemed to be a metaphor for himself, so he chased after him and started fighting.
Since then, Mingyuefang has not been troubled by too much, on the contrary, he often sends some of his new rouge to Yu Yaozhi.
It's also a no-fight and no acquaintance.
That night, the army had to travel a lot, so it was decided to camp temporarily.
Xu Song unsurprisingly arranged Fang Huai and Jiang Xueyan together.
Neither of them said no, after all, it was impossible for Fang Huai to let her a girl squeeze together with a group of big men, and if she was exposed, she couldn't tell.
He is a deputy general, and sleeping in his own account will not arouse suspicion, at most, he just thinks that Jiang Xueyan is a relation.
The two sat cross-legged in the tent, and Jiang Xueyan noticed Fang Huai's matching sword.
Isn't that the one you fight? He actually took it.
Seeing that sword, the anger and grievances in Jiang Xueyan's heart disappeared instantly, as long as he took that sword, it proved that he had his own in his heart.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xueyan couldn't help but feel complacent.
The atmosphere that had cooled down was instantly a little warmer.
"Do you still like this sword?"
Jiang Xueyan was the first to break the freezing point.
Fang Huai was stunned for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
"I like it."
Jiang Xueyan looked at him with a melancholy face, knowing that he was still sullen because of what had just happened, so she wanted to make him laugh, this road is still so long, it is difficult to keep fighting with him.
"Don't be bored, I didn't tell you in advance that I was wrong to come, but I really want to go to the battlefield and want to be a female general."
Female general, Fang Huai's mother also said this when he was a child, and in an instant, his mother's voice and smile echoed in his mind.
"And my father also knew about my coming out this time, and he said that he supported me in doing everything I wanted to do.
Jiang Xueyan looked at the stove in front of her and said with a smile.
Somehow, as soon as I remembered the three words of female general, I was very happy, as if I really went into battle to kill the enemy, wielding the sword in my hand to the fullest, and trampling the enemy under the horse.
"Do you know how difficult it is?"
Fang Huai said in a deep voice. He remembered that his mother had mentioned it back then, and it was clear that his mother's swordsmanship was perfect, but because she was a woman, she was not allowed to enter the court as an official.
In the end, she had to quit marrying, and her dream of being a female general was shattered.
"Naturally, I know that since I am here, I will not return empty-handed."
Fang Huai seemed to see the same thing in his mother's eyes from Jiang Xueyan's eyes, such tenacity and determination, which are rare in the world.
"Even so, I can't persuade him. But you have to promise me to protect yourself. ”
Fang Huai looked at Jiang Xueyan with a look of worry in his eyes.
"Why do you care so much about me? Could it be that you are pleased with me? ”
Jiang Xueyan came closer as she spoke, and under the glow of the firelight, Jiang Xueyan looked particularly good-looking, which made Fang Huai's heartbeat skip a little.
"I... I'm just afraid that I won't be able to explain to my uncle when I go back. ”
As he spoke, he quickly looked away, his face full of discomfort.
"Okay, okay, I see. It's not early, so let's go to bed. ”
Fortunately, there are two beds in this tent, otherwise Gao Huai would have to sleep on the floor along the way.
At this moment, the sound of war sounded not far away.
This is......
"Not good! It seems that the northwest side can't stop it. ”
At this time, Huo Zhao also found a clue, according to the front spies to report that the soldiers on the northwest border would rather die than give in, and finally all 3,000 soldiers died bravely.
Most of the soldiers in this army were recruited, and it was the first time they went to the battlefield, and some even touched their swords for the first time.
A few of them have already slipped back while no one has noticed.
I thought that it must be foolproof to have General Huo here, but no one expected that the enemy would be so strong, and the army's morale was discouraged in an instant, and many people shouted to leave.
Huo Zhao naturally noticed it, so he raised his voice and shouted.
"As you can see! Not far ahead is the battlefield, and the soldiers who are not afraid of death are in front of them, even if they die, they are countless heroic souls, if I am afraid of death, I will not stop them, and it is still too late to go back now! ”
As soon as these words came out, many people packed up their things and went back.
Jiang Xueyan felt very uncomfortable when she saw this scene, so she went up to stop someone and said.
"If everyone goes back, then there won't be many people who go into battle to kill the enemy, won't they have to fight home sooner or later? Rather than sit back and wait at home, why ......"
Before Jiang Xueyan could finish speaking, this person interrupted her.
"If you want to go up, it's also your group, I still have a big family, wives and children, so I can't be a lonely ghost here!"
So one by one they ran back.
Seeing this, Fang Huai stopped her and said:
"It doesn't matter, if you really don't have that heart, even if you're a deserter on the battlefield, you can't stop it."
Although some people left, there were still many brave and fearless soldiers who remained.
Seeing this, Huo Zhao nodded, and led the troops in the direction of the war.
