I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

Mu Heng's thoughts were inevitably drawn back to the night fifteen years ago, when his and his wife Shen's only daughter was born. It was also the anniversary of his daughter's death!

Shen gave birth to three sons for Mu Heng, and she dreamed that the baby in her belly would be a daughter.

Ten months of pregnancy and one day of delivery.

When she learned that she had given birth to a girl, Shen was so happy that she could hardly control the smile on her face. She stared at the sleeping face in her arms with her gentle eyes without blinking, and patted her back gently. She liked her more and more no matter how she looked at her.

Mu Heng was so excited that he seemed to be a father for the first time. He was as happy as a child and even wanted to name his daughter himself.

What pearl, Baoer, Mingyue, Mingzhu...

Mu Heng, a military man, racked his brains to come up with more than a dozen names and asked Shen to help him with the advice. Their daughter deserves the most beautiful name in the world!

As a result, before the child's name was decided, the imperial decree of death from the palace was delivered to the general's mansion.

This was a bolt from the blue for the Mu family!

However, the imperial decree has been issued, and the king's order cannot be disobeyed. Even if Mu Heng is a general, he is powerless! Openly disobeying the order is a crime of deceiving the king, and it is a serious crime that will result in the extermination of the entire clan!

Why did the emperor order the death of a newborn baby?

The reason turned out to be that the imperial teacher calculated that the fate of Mu Heng's daughter would threaten the stability of the imperial court!

The emperor actually believed such a ridiculous statement?

Afterwards, the emperor no longer trusted the Mu family as much as before, but suppressed them again and again. First, he took back Mu Heng's military power, and then demoted him from a second-rank general to a fifth-rank sinecure.

Even when the Mu family was used this time, Mu Heng was only given a rank of deputy general of the fourth rank! The 50,000 soldiers were not given to him, but to He Chengfeng. At most, he was He Chengfeng's assistant, helping him to recapture the border town and help him repel the North Vietnamese army as soon as possible and achieve military success!

......

"Dad, with your ability, isn't it only a matter of time before you break into the Imperial City?! Why do you have to compromise?" Mu Xingchen was puzzled. They were finally released from the capital, and of course they had to do something big when the tiger returned to the mountain. Did they have to wait until the war was settled before going back to be harassed by the dog emperor?

"Shut up!" Mu Heng glared at his eldest son fiercely: "Don't ever say such things again! Everything needs to be planned carefully."

"Dad, what you mean is..." Mu Xingchen's eyes flashed with light, and he looked at Mu Heng with hope.

Mu Heng refused to say more, and said with a long sigh: "Go out, and remember to rest early."

"Yes!" Mu Xingchen suddenly wilted and walked out with his head down.

How could Mu Heng not want to avenge his daughter? The emperor was incompetent and credulous, and was very wary of the Mu family. How could it be easy for him to accomplish great things?

Ye Ze, who was eavesdropping behind the tent: (○ Д ○) So what did he just overhear? He wouldn't be silenced by them, would he?

Ye Ze retreated quietly and was about to leave when he heard Mu Xingchen shout, "Who's there!" Then he heard his footsteps running towards the back of the tent.

"Xingchen, what's wrong?" The soldiers around Mu Xingchen also followed after hearing this.

Mu Xingchen said as he ran: "There's someone over there, don't let him get away!"

The soldier immediately perked up, "Damn it, who is this fearless person who dares to cause trouble outside General Mu's tent? I'll beat him to death!"

When Ye Ze heard the soldier's voice, he paused in his attempt to escape. This voice sounded so familiar!

"Stop! Who are you?"

While Ye Ze was hesitating, Mu Xingchen and the soldier had already caught up with him.

"I, I came out to relieve myself..." Ye Ze explained stutteringly with his heart beating like a drum.

Mu Xingchen frowned, took the torch from the soldier, and looked Ye Ze up and down. He was not sure if this soldier was sent by He Chengfeng to monitor them. If he overheard the conversation between him and his father, then...

Mu Xingchen's eyes became fierce, and he would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go!

The soldier who had chased after Mu Xingchen suddenly took two steps forward and said, "Look up. You look familiar to me."

Ye Ze looked up in confusion and met Xu Wu's inquiring eyes!

"Fifth brother? Why is it you?"

"Brother Ye? It's really you!"

They both spoke at the same time, their excitement evident in their words.

"Didn't you go back to your hometown? How did you become a soldier?"

"I came here with General Mu. What about you? Why did you join the army?"

Seeing that the two were chatting animatedly, Mu Xingchen coughed twice awkwardly and interrupted them, "Fifth brother, do you... know each other?"

Xu Wu grinned and said, "I know him! Xingchen, this is the little brother Ye I told you about before! I didn't expect to meet him here!"

“I see.” Mu Xingchen was relieved. “Since he is Xu Wu’s brother, he is also my, Mu Xingchen’s, brother!”

"Mr. Mu." Ye Ze bowed to him politely.

"Who's over there?" The patrol team heard the noise and asked towards them.

"It's me, Mu Xingchen. It's none of your business." Mu Xingchen waved to the patrolling soldiers. After the patrolling soldiers left, Mu Xingchen said, "It's still early. Why don't you come to my place and sit down together?"

"it is good."

"Let's go!"

In Mu Xingchen's tent,

The three of them sat around the table. Ye Ze first reminisced with Xu Wu, then asked in confusion: "Fifth brother, aren't you a soldier? How come..."

"Haha," Xu Wu laughed, "If I don't come here as a soldier, do I expect the emperor to make me a general?"

Both the Xu family and the Mu family are families of military generals. Xu Wu's father had fought in battles with Mu Heng and was a die-hard fan of Mu Heng. Later, the Mu family was suppressed by the emperor, and the Xu family was naturally not much better off. Otherwise, the Xu family would not have sent Xu Wu to Ninghuai County to be a small yamen runner.

After talking about Xu Wu, the topic was brought back to Ye Ze: "Why are you here so late at night?"

Ye Ze did not hide it from him and directly told him the real purpose of coming here.

When Xu Wu heard that his brother was targeted by a captain, he immediately slammed the table and said angrily: "Damn it! Don't be afraid, brother. I will go and meet this Captain Song in person tomorrow morning! Let's see if he dares to be arrogant in front of Xu!"

Ye Ze: "Fifth brother, I heard that Captain Song has a backer. If we openly offend him...I'm afraid it's not a good idea, right?"

Mu Xingchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ye, your Big Brother Xu Wu is very capable!"

Xu Wu, however, heard another meaning in Ye Ze's words: "You are not trying to play dirty tricks on him, are you?"

Ye Ze touched the tip of his nose and said nothing.

"Interesting, hehehe..." Xu Wu rubbed his hands and smiled cunningly: "Why don't we go over and beat him up now to vent our anger first!"

Then he straightened his expression and said to Mu Xingchen, "Xingchen, don't go. It doesn't fit your image of a gentle gentleman."

Mu Xingchen was unhappy: "This is not the capital, who should I be gentle for? If we are brothers, let's be together!"

Ye Ze bowed to the two of them and said, "Since you two think highly of me, Ye Ze, I won't be polite with you. Let's go over now!"

"Let's go!" Mu Xingchen looked relaxed, but he was actually a little nervous. This was the first time in his life that he had done such an exciting thing!
