Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Hearing Cheng Jie's words, Xu Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "Cheng Jie, how old are you? I'm three years younger than you. If I can bully you, then who are you calling the little bully? Is it the dog?"

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Song Bo's face darkened slightly, "Young Master, be careful with your words."

"I am a country bumpkin who doesn't know what it means to be careful with words. Could you please tell me what is acceptable to say, what is unacceptable to say, and what is careful with words? If you know, then as Cheng Jie's husband, have you ever told Cheng Jie what it means to be careful with words?"

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Song Bo paused and said, "I am just staying at the Cheng family for a few days. I cannot be considered a master of the Cheng family."

"Oh, I guess so. I heard that Mr. Song came from the capital, so he must be knowledgeable. Why would he accept such an ignorant child as his student?"

Xu Yuan smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. After she finished speaking, she turned around and said, "Brother, let's go."

Seeing that Xu Yuan seemed to be really going to leave, Song Bo said slowly, "Young Master, wait a moment."

Zhang Yue turned around, and before he could say anything, he saw Xu Yuan holding his hand.

Xu Yuan asked: "Old Master, do you have any other advice?"

"Young master insulted Young Master Cheng, aren't you going to give an explanation?" Uncle Song put his hands in his sleeves, a shrewd look in his cloudy eyes.

Today, even though he was here, Cheng Jie was humiliated like this.

How should he act in the Cheng family after that day?

Cheng Jie can be humiliated, but his face cannot be humiliated.

If he were to be killed by a little kid today, his fame would be gone.

"I wonder what the old gentleman wants to explain?" Xu Yuan asked back.

"Make amends, apologize."

Hearing Uncle Song's words, Cheng Jie straightened his back a lot. He looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Hurry up and apologize to me, your young master."

"You want to apologize?" Xu Yuan looked at Cheng Jie.

"Yes." Cheng Jie nodded, his face full of pride.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan walked over.

Zhang Yue said: "Zhiguo, don't go."

Zhang Yue didn't want to see Xu Yuan being bullied, especially by Cheng Jie.

"It's ok."

After making the wish, she walked in front of Cheng Jie and bent slightly.

Seeing this, Cheng Jie grinned and said, "Just bowing is not enough, I want you to kneel..."

There was crisp applause.

Cheng Jie's words came to an abrupt end.

Xu Yuan slowly withdrew his hand, looked at the slap mark on Cheng Jie's face, and said, "Oh, sorry, my hand slipped!"

"Make a wish!" Cheng Jie screamed and was about to pounce on Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan reacted faster and kicked Cheng Jie in the crotch.

Cheng Jie suddenly cried out in pain.

On the side, Song Bo was about to take action when he heard the young man speak leisurely.

"If the old gentleman takes action, it would be disrespectful to his elders."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he turned his head slightly and smiled, and then said: "Tianqi Law stipulates that those who fight in the military camp shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane. Old sir, think carefully about whether you want to take this responsibility for Cheng Jie and lower your own status for nothing."

The moment he heard Cheng Jie call "Uncle Song", Xu Yuan guessed that this old man was from the Song family of the Taiwei Mansion.

He was born in the Taiwei Mansion, is so old, and his surname is Song. He must be an important person in the Song Mansion.

Moreover, Mr. Song's steps were extremely steady. He was a martial artist and should have come from a military background.

I bet that Mr. Song would not think so highly of Cheng Jie.

If Uncle Song really planned to fight...

That's okay too.

The thing that is most in short supply in the military camp is soldiers.

She just didn't believe that the general of the Dingbei Army would watch her being beaten to death in the barracks.

Besides, who lives and who dies?

Who can tell for sure? Maybe Uncle Song is just an embroidered pillow who can't help but get hit.

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Song Bo retracted his hand, ignored Cheng Jie who was howling beside him, and said coldly: "You are a smart one! It's a pity that people who are too smart are annoying."

"Really? But I've heard that, things change over time, so don't look down on the young and poor."

"I have learned a lesson today!"

“You’re welcome.” Xu Yuan said, then turned and left.

Cheng Jie was still howling and crying, "Uncle Song, why don't you help me!"

"Because you're stupid."

Song Bo's eyes were cold. He looked at Cheng Jie and his tone was even colder: "I told you a long time ago, don't cause trouble, stay away from those two brothers! Otherwise, if Sishui County has a Cheng family, it can also have a Zhao family, a Qian family, and a Sun family. Remember?"

Hearing those last four words, a chill ran down his spine and into his heart. Cheng Jie swallowed and immediately said, "I understand."

-

After dealing with Cheng Jie and settling Zhang Yue, Xu Yuan planned to find a place to stay first.

Zhang Yue sent the man out and said, "Zhiguo, you can go back directly. I don't have anything to add here."

I have offended Cheng Jie today and I don’t know if I can join the military camp.

Who knows, he might pack up and go back in two days.

However, Zhang Yue was afraid that making a wish would feel burdened, so he did not say it out loud.

"Even if there is nothing to add, I will come anyway." Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Today I have completely offended Cheng Jie. With his vengeful character, he might cause trouble for you. I will come again tomorrow. At least I will not go back until I know that you can enter the military camp."

"Can……"

"No buts, we've come this far, no matter what, I'm going to get you in. Brother, I'll definitely come tomorrow, remember, no matter what Cheng Jie does, don't fight, I'll take care of everything."

If I say I wasn’t moved when I heard the words of making a wish, I would be lying.

Zhang Yue looked at Xu Yuan and nodded heavily, "Okay."

Only then did Xuyuan leave with peace of mind.

The military camp was far away from Sishui County. Xu Yuan walked for a long time but couldn't find a place to stay. Seeing the sky getting darker, her heart sank slightly.

Crows are circling in the desert.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Xu Yuan finally saw a dilapidated temple.

The dilapidated temple is not big. It has been abandoned for a long time and has been swallowed by wind and sand. It can only shelter from the wind.

Xu Yuan didn't mind it much. After all, she had lived in places that were dirtier and more run-down than this one.

Xuyuan found a piece of rag, wiped the ground, put his clothes on and prepared to lie down.

At night, it is extremely quiet, with only the hoarse crows mixed with some tiny fragmented sounds.

Xuyuan opened his eyes and found it was snowing.

The snowflakes are not big, but they are cool.

Seeing this, Xuyuan got up, blew out the fire starter, and prepared to find some wood to make a fire.

However, when he reached the back hall, Xu Yuan was completely stunned.

Under the cold moonlight, the yard was covered in blood and crows were devouring the corpses.

At the same time, the cold touch of iron spread across her neck.

Xu Yuan immediately blew out the fire stick, put his right hand on his waist, grasped the soft sword, and asked coldly: "Who?"

She could smell blood, and the person holding her hostage must have been injured.

She has a fighting chance.

"Make a wish?"

After Bei Yao finished speaking, almost all the strength in his body disappeared.

He took a step back and managed to stand with the help of the wall.

Xu Yuan was also stunned, and he loosened his sword and asked, "Shen Renyao?"

The fire started burning again. Xu Yuan saw Bei Yao's pale face, and then his eyes moved down to Bei Yao's abdomen, "Are you injured?"

Beiyao nodded.

Seeing the man about to fall to the ground, Xu Yuan hurried forward to help him up and asked, "Did you kill all the people behind you?"

Beiyao did not answer Xuyuan's words, but just panted and said, "Save me."
