It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

Ling Xiao nodded and agreed, "You should also go to bed early."

"Why not let my stone go straight through his throat today and kill him."

"If the girl hadn't cooperated with Murong Nan, I would have really killed him today."

Lu Xingchen smiled and patted his arm, "Okay, I got it."

"I know you're good to me and want to protect me, but you can't be childish."

"I'm not childish. I've grown up. I'm an adult. I'm sixteen years old." Ling Xiao said with a tense face.

Lu Xingchen smiled. "Oh, I forgot. It's Chinese New Year. You're sixteen. You're a big kid now."

Ling Xiao stamped his feet in anger, and said anxiously, "I told you I'm not a child, I'm an adult."

"Okay, you are an adult." Lu Xingchen followed his words.

"What do you mean by good?" Ling Xiao was excited.

"Good is good, good is not good, just give me a perfunctory answer."

"I am an adult now, you can't treat me like a child anymore."

"If you are the young master, then I am a child, then so be it. We are both children anyway."

"But you are not a young master. You are a young lady."

"You've become a girl, and I can't be a child anymore."

Lu Xingchen didn't quite understand what Ling Xiao meant. It seemed hard to understand.

"Isn't that the same thing?"

"Different is different." Ling Xiao emphasized through gritted teeth, then turned around and walked out with big strides.

"Ouch, you're going to kill me." Feixue's voice came from the door.

"You're so chubby, how can you be killed by an impact?" Ling Xiao said this and walked away.

Feixue was so angry that her face turned red and white.

How can she be chubby?

She is very slim, okay?

"Okay, don't be angry. He was just sulking and you just happened to be caught in the crossfire." Lu Xingchen comforted Feixue before sleeping.

Feixue has been in a bad mood ever since Lingxiao told her that she was chubby.

Ling Xiao is also a straight man, and he said that a girl who likes him has gained weight.

He even said that he is not a child, but obviously he is a child and he doesn't understand romance.

"Girl, am I really fat? How about I start losing weight starting tomorrow?" Feixue looked at Lu Xingchen with a sad face.

"You are not fat. If you lose weight, you won't be able to hold the gun." Lu Xingchen said.

Feixue became even more conflicted. She couldn't lose weight. What if she couldn't lift a gun? As the commander-in-chief's personal maid, how could she protect the girl if she couldn't lift a gun?

But Ling Xiao seems to like those weak and cuddly women.

Seeing Feixue so anxious, Lu Xingchen couldn't help.

Young children can only slowly endure their love on their own.

Early the next morning, Lu Xingchen set up camp and returned to Yuzhou with his troops.

After marching for half a day, Lu Xingchen took a short break and went to the bathroom. While washing his hands by the river, he suddenly saw something floating on the water.

"It looks like a person." Lu Xingchen said.

In an instant, several guards jumped into the water and pulled out the objects floating in the river.

It's really a person.

"General, this person should be Leng Feng." Wei Hu walked over, took a look and said.

The guards are giving him first aid to see if he can survive.

Fortunately, after a while, a stream of dirty water spurted out of Leng Feng's mouth.

Leng Feng coughed violently a few times and slowly regained his breath.

His face was pale and his whole body was trembling.

"You are about the same size as him, so get him a set of dry clothes to change into." Lu Xingchen said to Wei Hu.

Wei Hu agreed and went to get some dry clothes and handed them to Leng Feng.

Leng Feng took the clothes tremblingly and put them on himself.

Wei Hu gave him another blanket.

Leng Feng wrapped himself in a blanket and held a cup of hot water in his hand.

"Your name is Leng Feng?" Lu Xingchen asked.

Leng Feng nodded, "Yes..."

Their troops did not attack the city yesterday, and Lu Xingchen didn't know what happened.

Murong Nan also did not tell him that Leng Feng had escaped from the city.

"Did the King of Qingzhou escape with you?" Lu Xingchen asked.

Leng Feng shook his head, "No, he's dead."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Then you have two choices. One is to follow me, and the other is for me to send you to Yanzhou and hand you over to Murong Nan."

Although Leng Feng didn't know Lu Xingchen, he knew Wei Hu.

"This is our commander-in-chief." Wei Hu introduced to Leng Feng.

"I'll follow you." Leng Feng didn't hesitate for too long and said to Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen nodded, "Okay, then follow me."

Lu Xingchen needs middle-level generals who can lead troops in battle.

"Why did Lu Ziqiao fight when we attacked Qingzhou City?" Lu Xingchen looked at Leng Feng and asked.

"He's just an idiot." Leng Feng replied.

"If the King of Qingzhou can follow my advice and strictly guard Qingzhou City, even if you have extremely powerful explosives, you may not be able to capture Qingzhou City in such a short time."

"The King of Qingzhou is not a wise leader worthy of support."

"After occupying only Qingzhou, they began to think hard about who would inherit the throne of Qingzhou, and even had the idea of ​​deposing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest son."

"A master who is short-sighted and content with the status quo is not a wise leader."

"So do you think I'm a wise leader?" Lu Xingchen asked Leng Feng.

"I don't know. Although your troops did not directly participate in the battle, your battle formations and catapults are very powerful." Leng Feng answered truthfully.

"Whether you are a wise leader or not, that requires further investigation."

"You are so arrogant." Ling Xiao glared at Leng Feng.

"It was our Lord Commander who saved your life, but you don't know how to be grateful. Now you want to investigate us. It's as if we can't do without you."

Leng Feng looked at Ling Xiao coldly, without any fear. "You are a boy whose hair has not yet fully grown. You were not even born when I was fighting."

What Ling Xiao hates most now is that people call him a child. He gritted his teeth in anger and gripped the knife at his waist.

Lu Xingchen looked at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was so angry that he rode his horse forward.

"Okay, then follow me and prove your strength on the battlefield in the future." Lu Xingchen said.

"Well, then we will test each other." Leng Feng looked at Lu Xingchen with full confidence. "If you don't have the ability, you can drive me away or chop off my head. Anyway, you saved my life, and I will be yours from now on."

Lu Xingchen hummed softly.

After returning to Yuzhou, Lu Xingchen went straight to the yamen to find Master Guo.

Master Guo has sorted out the affairs in Yuzhou and is not very busy at the moment.

"The commander-in-chief is back. It seems that things in Qingzhou are going smoothly."

Lu Xingchen nodded, picked up the herbal tea in front of Master Guo and drank it all.

"Well, it went smoothly. We took half of Qingzhou's land. But if Qingzhou City is ours..."

"Murong Nan is quite generous. It seems that he is sincere in cooperating with us. He even gave us half of the land. What he lacks most now is land and population." Master Guo said, turning the bamboo fan in his hand.

"He took a fancy to my throwing vehicle and battering ram." Lu Xingchen smiled, "I gave him two and let him study them on his own."

"Murong Nan is an ambitious guy. We really have to be on guard against him in the future." said Master Guo.

"We'll talk about the future later... Now he's a trustworthy person. At least he's guarding the gate to our southeast, so we don't have to worry about anything."
