Chapter 176: Difficult and Beautiful
Chapter 176 is difficult and stunning
In August of the fortieth year of the Mandala Empire, when Hu Wei was carrying salt to Jinsha Prefecture and selling it everywhere, 100,000 soldiers of the Royal Cavalry Regiment in the imperial capital Longcheng set off for the ancient capital of Langtian.

Under the influence of Valencia's propaganda, this group of young people who regarded the war as a handsome man, regardless of the opposition of their families, resolutely enlisted in the army, vowing to collect the old capital Langtian, kill the Red Turban Army there, and reclassify Langtian into the arms of the old lady of the Mandala Empire.
I have to say that this time is Valencia's victory to regain military power, and he successfully used those naΓ―ve minds to make them fantasize about the bloody battlefield as a heroic and romantic backyard.
Valencia's ambition was to regain imperial power and become an emperor as great as his grandfather. He wanted to plant the banner of the Mandala Empire in every corner of the Tianfeng Continent.
After successfully suppressing the Blizzard Legion and disarming the Red Fen Legion with 100,000, Valencia, with the support of Cubiras, the commander of the Royal Cavalry Regiment, successfully expanded the Cavalry Regiment from 500,000 to 700,000. In terms of numbers, the number of men and horses of the first army of the Royal Cavalry Regiment alone exceeded the total number of the four major army corps in the southeast, south, and northwest.
With the centaurs, Valencia naturally wants to stand up, and he wants to make Ximen Yufeng and Suarez afraid of him. This kind of legislation is naturally a show of military strength. Therefore, Valencia accepted the proposal of the imperial uncle and sent troops to the ancient capital of Langtian.
It has to be said that Valencia is a small tadpole that should be on the wall, and not the emperor of the Mandala Empire. Because the structure of his brain is different from that of ordinary humans.
He actually listened to the words of the emperor's uncle Kubilas, and wanted to use 100,000 noble soldiers to establish this authority. In other words, the 100,000 troops sent to Langtian this time were all children of nobles from the upper echelons of the empire, from generals to soldiers, and the worst was the son of a rich family.
Valencia's approach caused strong dissatisfaction among the major nobles, whose children were sent to the army with mixed qualifications, not to fight.
Ordinary people welcome this practice. This is not because of how patriotic they are, how earnestly they look forward to the recovery of Langtian, and those who have nothing to do with them.
They are happy that there are fewer evil young masters and fierce slaves on the street, and the daughters of their own families can go to the streets without worrying about being molested.
What is the combat strength of these rich second generations and second generation officials of the Mandala Empire, who are accustomed to living an arrogant and luxurious life? It is still unknown that they were happily at this time, leading a large number of quartermasters to smash the grain and grass obtained by the people's rice jars, and walking on the road to Langtian with brain-dead fantasies. Maybe they can give all the red turban army in Langtian to the chrysanthemum like robbing the people's daughters?
Huaxi City, Jinsha Prefecture.
After a long journey and eating a lot of loess, Hu Wei finally arrived here. There was no welcome from the people, and there was no official welcome, so Hu Wei came here silently. He even entered the city without informing the people of the Wolf Legion.
"Whew, it's finally here. In the inn, Hu Wei collapsed on the bed in a large font, and he was really tired of this journey. But this tiredness is worth it, after this journey, his mental strength has increased a little, which can save his life on the battlefield.
"Young master, let's wash your face. Jebel walked into the room with a basin of warm water.
"Oh. Hu Wei sat up, looked behind Zhebei, and asked a little strangely, "Where is Chu Zhu?"
Chu Zhu and Jebe are fighting for the right to wait for Hu Wei all the way, this will be the only one in Jebe, and if he can't see Chu Zhu, of course Hu Wei will be strange.
Jebel replied: "She went out on the street, saying that she wanted to buy some vegetables or something, and made you a good meal, so that you can enjoy it." β
"Grocery shopping?" Hu Wei touched his chin and said, "Isn't there a ready-made kitchen in this inn, why does she go out to buy it?"
Jebe shook his head and said, "I don't know. That's what she told the soldiers. β
"Hmm. Hu Wei let Zhebei help him wash his face and hands, and didn't say anything more. Not saying it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to, in his mind, he is still guessing Chu Zhu's intention to go out.
Hu Wei was still guessing, and suddenly a familiar fragrance came into his nose, and he didn't need to look up to see the familiar embroidered cloth shoes. Hu Wei has always wondered how these embroidered shoes, after walking so many roads, are not dirty at all. By the way, I keep wearing these shoes, and I don't know if her feet will stink.
Chu Zhu was holding a chicken in his hand, and he would still crow if he was alive. Ying Ying came to Hu Wei, raised the chicken in her hand, and said with a smile: "Young master, we have a chicken to eat tonight." β
Hu Wei looked at the chicken in Chu Zhu's hand, then looked at Chu Zhu, and said with some doubts: "You went out to buy chickens just now?"
"Yes. Chu Zhu replied: "When I passed by the market before, I saw people selling chickens, but at that time, the team was marching, and I couldn't let the team stop, so as soon as I arrived at the inn, I went out." Fortunately, the boss didn't sell out. Chu Zhu patted his chest as he spoke, looking very happy.
While Hu Wei felt a headache, a trace of warmth also rose in his heart. No matter what the purpose of this Chu Zhu approaching him, but along the way, she, the maid, is still very dutiful.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't see through this woman, Hu Wei really wanted to have a maid like Chu Zhu, at least this maid would take it out and have face. Chu Zhu is not only beautiful, but also has an elegant temperament, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Come to think of it, even Prince Chihe admits that his maid is not as good as Chu Zhu, what a wonderful person this is.
It's a pity that this Chu Zhu will never be able to become a real maid. Although during this time, she was extremely well-behaved, and from time to time she played the piano and sang music for Hu Wei. But Hu Wei could see from Chu Zhu's eyes that although she called herself a maid, she looked down on everyone in her eyes, including Hu Wei.
Chu Zhu's eyes were not obvious, but Hu Wei could clearly feel it. After thirteen years of wandering in the rivers and lakes, Hu Wei no longer knows how many such eyes he has encountered, and sometimes even if he doesn't use his eyes, he feels that this is a kind of contempt of a superior person.
Chu Zhu secretly glanced at Hu Wei, a coquettish smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, his little face was flushed, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Young master, can you kill chickens?"
"Oh, you won't?" Hu Wei shifted his gaze from Chu Zhu's face to her slender jade hand. The hands that I used to play the piano last night were clutching a small-legged chicken. The chicken is very energetic and keeps moving, and it seems that it knows its fate very well.
"Hmm" Chu Zhu nodded and said, "I've grown so big, and I've never killed a chicken." Young Master, if you know, can you help Chu Zhu?"
Chu Zhu's delicate voice is simply a deadly poison for men. Don't say it's helping her kill chickens, even if it's helping her kill people.
Hu Wei just wanted to agree, but suddenly his heart jumped violently. Why did I have such a thought just now? It's nothing to help her kill a chicken, but why would you want to help her kill someone?
Hu Wei was in a daze in his heart, and then smiled at Chu Zhu and said: "I have only called chickens in my life, and I have never killed chickens." I'll help you, who will do this. If it really doesn't work, just send it to the kitchen, and the master there will definitely do it. β
Chu Zhu's eyes, inadvertently, flashed a faint cold light. Shaking his head, he said: "I still don't want to, I don't want to fake the hands of others, I will study and study it myself, it shouldn't be difficult to think about." β
When Chu Zhu went out, he was so sobbing that I really felt sorry for me, and I almost didn't let Hu Wei scream, the chicken could be eaten without killing.
How Chu Zhu killed the chicken, Hu Wei didn't know, but Chu Zhu's skill in stewing chicken was indeed quite good. I don't know what she put in the chicken, the chicken soup is fragrant and mellow, and when you take a bite, your stomach and intestines are warm and fragrant.
"Young Master. Zhu Daneng held Zhang Dahong's invitation sticker in his hand and knocked on the door to come in.
Hu Wei stopped Zhu Daneng's words with his eyes: "Steward Zhu came just in time, how about coming over and taste this chicken soup." This is stewed by Miss Chu Zhu herself. Hu Wei said and turned his head to look at Chu Zhu and asked, "Chu Zhu, is there anything else?"
"Yes, I'll go to Sheng. Chu Zhu glanced at Zhu Daneng and bowed his head and went out.
Hu Wei gave Zhebei a look, and Zhebei followed out. Hu Wei didn't say it, she also knew that Hu Wei wanted her to look at Chu Zhu.
Hu Wei saw that Zhebei had closed the door, and then said to Zhu Daneng: "Say, what's the matter, what is that in your hand?"
Zhu Daneng handed the invitation note in his hand to Hu Wei's hand and said: "This is the invitation note sent to you by Commander Suarez, and he will pick you up at Linxi Tower at night." β
Hu Wei took the invitation sticker, looked at the name on it, and said with a smile: "The Wild Wolf Legion really lives up to its reputation, and it actually knew that I had arrived in Huaxi City so quickly." I thought it would be Renata's post, but I didn't expect it to be Suarez, it's really a face-saving thing. Okay, the time is about the same, it's not good to let the old man wait, let's go. β
Zhu Daneng felt that it seemed a little early to go now, but it was nothing if he went early for a while. So he nodded and turned to open the door, but was stopped by Hu Wei.
Hu Wei pointed to the window behind the house and said, "Don't let those two girls see it, otherwise they will definitely be clamoring to go." Young Master Ben doesn't have the habit of taking women to the Qinglou. β
Zhu Daneng was surprised: "How do you know that Linxi Tower is a Qinglou?"
Hu Wei smiled: ", will Suarez choose a bathhouse to receive us?"
Hu Wei is right, Linxi Building is indeed a green building. Linxi Tower is not the largest green building in West China City, and the 'Yihong Courtyard' in the east of the city is larger than it, but this Linxi Tower is the favorite place for all wealthy families in West China City, especially the sons of the family. Because Renata, known as the flower of the Wolf Legion, often accompanies Suarez to meet guests here.
Renata is the most famous beauty in West China, she is not only the daughter of Suarez, but also a versatile person, who is good at poetry, writing, etiquette and music. The most important thing is that Renata still has no in-laws. Whoever wants to be able to get into her eyes has to hug the beauty, then there are all the beauties in the country.
Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng sneaked out of the inn without taking them, and after several turns, they finally found Linxi Tower. Counting up, this is the third time Hu Wei has come to Qinglou. His Qinglou luck has always been not very good, I don't know if this time, it can be better.
A casual table of wine in Linxi Building costs hundreds of gold coins, which is not a place where ordinary people can afford to consume. So compared to other fireworks places, this place is a little more deserted. But the luxurious Cheng dΓΉ of Linxi Tower is not comparable to those green buildings.
As soon as Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng walked to the door of Linxi Tower, they saw a woman greeted them with a smile on her face. At first, Hu Wei thought that the goddess here was going to come up to solicit customers, but when he saw the person who came, he realized that it was Renata's female military advisor - Li Fei.
Li Fei was still a few steps away from Hu You, so he pulled on his skirt and said: "Li Fei represents Lord Suarez, and Renata City guards to welcome General Hu Wei and General Zhu Daneng." β
Li Fei is Renata's close confidant, and her status in the Wolf Legion can be said to be second only to Renata. Suarez sent her to wait for Hu Wei here, which can be said to have given Hu Wei enough face, and also reflected the importance of Hu Wei from the other side.
Hu Wei dared to return the salute and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, how dare you wait here for the labor division." β
Li Fei said with a smile: "General Hu Wei is really a good memory, we are just a one-sided relationship, but General Hu Wei can remember the little girl." β
Hu Wei laughed and said, "I'm a person, I don't have other skills." For beautiful girls, it can be unforgettable. β
Hu Wei's words had the meaning of teasing, Li Fei really didn't care, and said with a smile: "The adults are laughing, the little woman Pu Liu's posture, that can be called beautiful." Adults, please come with the little girl, Renata Castle Guard is already upstairs. β
"There's Miss Lao Lifei. β
With Li Fei, Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng going up to the second floor, two beautiful little girls were waiting by the door, and when they saw the three of them coming up, they quickly opened the door.
The door was divided to the left and right, and a sound of the piano leaked out of the room. The sound of the piano was euphemistic at first, and then became joyful, tinkling and dingling, with the decoration of this Linxi Building, which made people feel that they were not in the world.
A hint of discoloration flashed in Hu Wei's eyes, during this period of time, due to the influence of Chu Zhu, he also had a certain appreciation for the music of the Tianfeng Continent. Although he couldn't play such a tune, he could hear that the person who played the piano was a master of it.
After listening to the end of the song, Hu Wei walked into the room. Seeing the woman sitting in front of the piano, Hu Wei couldn't help but be surprised: "I didn't expect Renata Castle Guard to be able to play such a good piano, I really admire, admire." β
The corners of Renata's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a lovely look, and sighed: "It's a pity that I can't get into the general's eyes." β
Renata is an allusion to Hu Wei's refusal to marry her. She has always been very confident in herself, confident that within the empire, except for her military achievements, she is not as good as Ximen Yufeng, no matter what aspect she is, she will not lose to anyone. Unexpectedly, he personally proposed to marry Hu Wei, but Hu Wei disagreed. This was a blow to her. Although what she said to Hu Wei at the beginning, it was just a temporary move. But that's how a woman is, she can reject you, but you can't reject her. Otherwise, you're going to be in trouble.
Hu Wei scolded in his heart, this is another annoying goblin. Whoever wants to see Renata's appearance and dare to think that Renata is a weak woman will definitely die an ugly death.
"Hey, Mistress Renata laughed. It was my eyes that were too shallow, and as soon as Renata got close, she slipped out. Hey, isn't the Legion Elder here?" Hu Wei didn't dare to have a deep conversation with Renata about this, and dared to change the topic urgently.
This peach blossom luck is not something that everyone can enjoy, and if you don't get it right, you have to become a peach blossom disaster. This Renata is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, so you have to be careful with it.
"Do you have to call me Lord?" Renata obviously didn't intend to let Hu Wei go like this, her eyes revealed an extremely resentful look, I don't know, I thought Hu Wei had done something to her.
The bitter one in Hu Wei's heart can squeeze out the bitter bile. Before he came to Huaxi City, he knew that Renata would definitely not let him go so easily. But he never imagined that Renata was playing with him like this.
Hu Wei said bitterly: "My lord, let's stop playing, okay?"
As soon as Hu Wei's words came out, Renata actually made a gesture to cry, so frightened that Hu Wei quickly changed his words: "Nana, can I call you Nana?"
Hu Wei doesn't care if it's meat or not, the key is not to make Renata cry. This woman's tearful eyes can sometimes be fatal. This is the territory of the Wild Wolf Army, and if you make other people's goddesses cry, they don't have to reason with you, they just have to shoot you to death.
Renata is going to cry, she is acting. Seeing Hu Wei surrender, she put away the look of wanting to cry, glanced at Hu Wei and said, "Forget you, dare to bully me in the future, be careful that I die to show you." β
Hu worriedly said, I don't know who died to whom. If you give me two more hands like this, I won't live for the first time.
Renata pushed the piano away, got up and said, "Father has some things to deal with, and I'll be there in a moment." Let's have a cup of tea and chat, you don't object. β
"The guest is as he pleases, and the guest is as he pleases. Hu Wei nodded again and again, borrowing his two guts, he would not object to anything in this kind of matter. The big head hasn't arrived yet, there is tea for you to drink, what do you want to do? Find two goddesses to let you play while waiting?
There was already a tea set on the table, and the small copper kettle on the stove was steaming, and it was obvious that this qiΔ was prepared.
Hu Wei and Renata sat down opposite each other, Zhu Daneng, that kid, I don't know when he ran away, maybe Li Fei pulled him away, anyway, this pair of men and women are not there. Only Hu Wei and Renata were left in the room.
The flame on the small stove, jumping and jumping, was reflected on Renata's face, which was very beautiful, and Hu Wei was a little daze when he saw it. Even he himself didn't believe that he had refused the show of love from the woman in front of him. I really don't know how I did it at the time.
"Well, let me do it. Hu Wei grabbed the pot in her hand before Renata reached for it. The pot was a little hot, but he didn't feel it.
Renata looked at Hu Wei and nodded, wanting to say something, but she held back. A little wind brought the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard into the house, and it seemed that they were also curious about what would happen here.
