Chapter 140: The General's Mansion Rebelled

Shengjing, the General’s Mansion.

In the martial arts arena, a young woman in a red tight-fitting outfit is practicing with a spear.

The silver spear with a red tassel seemed to be a part of her body. As she turned and moved, her black hair and the silver spear flew together.

It is as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a swimming dragon.

In the pavilion nearby, there sat a beautiful middle-aged woman who looked 70% similar to the woman, looking at the woman practicing shooting with a loving face.

Qiu Yu said, "Madam, our young lady's skills are getting better and better. I think this year's top martial arts champion is not as good as our young lady."

"That's right. Our young lady was taught by the general personally since she was a child. How can others compare to her?" Qiuyue said.

The beautiful woman was very proud, but she still reminded the two maids: "Just talk about it in the mansion, don't say too much outside."

"Don't worry, ma'am. We can save it." The two agreed with a smile.

The two of them grew up with the young lady. In name, they were master and servant, but in reality, they were almost like sisters.

In this general's mansion, no one treats them as slaves.

Seeing the woman put away her gun, the beautiful woman waved to her, "Wushuang, come and rest. Mother made you some iced sour plum soup. Come and have a bowl to cool off."

The young woman, Qi An, strode into the pavilion, smiled at the beautiful woman, took the sour plum soup from her hand, and drank it in one gulp.

It was cool, sweet and sour, and Qi An wiped his mouth and said, "Mom, another bowl, please."

The general's wife, Shen, wiped her sweat and smiled as she rejected her: "Don't be greedy for coolness."

Qi An: “…”Okay.

Ata looked at the gentle and beautiful Shen and the two lively and clever girls in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

Who could have thought that they would die so tragically soon?

The petitioner this time came from an imaginary ancient world. She was the only daughter of General Huo Yu of the Sheng Dynasty and her name was Huo Wushuang.

As we all know, few generals and marshals in feudal dynasties could complete their duties well from beginning to end.

Fighting desperately to build an empire for the emperor, guarding the borders and protecting the people.

However, suspicion is a common problem among emperors. Which emperor could tolerate the military power falling into the hands of others?

The more brave, loyal and patriotic a general is, the more likely he is to become a thorn in the emperor's eyes and a thorn in his flesh, who will be removed by all means.

Therefore, all the generals and marshals, it would be better for you to die on the battlefield, wrapped in your horse's hide, and leave behind a good reputation after your death.

If he was a little bit slower, his military power would be taken away, and he would be killed as a traitor on some trumped-up charge.

Huo Yu was a little worse off than them.

The emperor of the previous dynasty was licentious and immoral, and the people were suffering. People with lofty ideals rose up in rebellion.

In the end, the world was taken over by the sworn brothers Huo Yu and Zhao Jian.

They ended the tyranny of the previous dynasty and established the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Huo Yu was good at fighting and was very brave, but he lacked wisdom.

He knew that he was not fit to be an emperor, so he took the initiative to let his sworn brother Zhao Jian sit on the throne, and he himself protected him and guarded the country.

Zhao Jian was moved by his magnanimity and humility, and appointed him as the Great General of the Nation, promising that the Huo family would be honorable for generations, second only to the emperor.

Zhao Jian was sincere when he said these words at the time, and he really felt that he could do it.

Afterwards, Zhao Jian took charge of the government, and Huo Yu fought for him in all directions to defend his country.

But the supreme imperial power can change a person beyond all recognition. Even father and son can turn against each other, let alone sworn brothers?

Twenty years later, Huo Yu became a world-famous general, commanding an army of 300,000 at the border.

The emperor couldn't sleep.

Especially after one of the princes rebelled and forced the emperor to abdicate, although Huo Yu arrived in time with troops to stop the rebellion, he was still afraid.

The prince's rebellion could still be stopped by Huo Yu, but what if Huo Yu rebelled? Who could suppress him?

Once suspicion arises, it is like a tiny poisonous thorn stuck in the flesh. It cannot be pulled out and will cause a dull pain all the time.

Even though Huo Yu had never done anything beyond the limit.

Not to mention crossing the line, Huo Yu doesn't even have a son, only an only daughter.

Although Huo Yu was a great general, he only had one wife, the daughter of a fifth-rank official, who accompanied Huo Yu in guarding the border all year round.

The couple had only one daughter, who also grew up in the border area.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Huo Yu returned to Beijing less and less frequently, trying his best to weaken his presence.

But the emperor's suspicion was unreasonable. Huo Yu's reputation became more and more prominent, and the people called him the God of War.

The soldiers at the border were even more loyal to him, and the people at the border called them the Huo Family Army.

When the emperor heard the news, he suddenly felt that his position was even more precarious.

The dragon couch was so spacious, but he felt crowded when he lay on it.

Seeing that Huo Wushuang was already sixteen years old, the emperor ordered her and the general's wife to return to the capital in the name of finding a husband for her.

Huo Yu tried to refuse, but the emperor acted like a sworn brother and said bluntly that it was the uncle who was concerned about his niece's marriage.

Huo Yu had no choice but to let his wife and daughter go back, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that perhaps he was too wary of his sworn brother.

He has been doing his duty all these years, and his brother has been doing fine as usual. Maybe he was overthinking it.

Besides, unless he rebelled, the imperial edict had already been issued and he had no choice but to obey.

Huo Yu is a very loyal person at heart and would never do anything like treason.

After Huo Wushuang returned to Shengjing, the emperor doted on her in every way, and no other princes and princesses were as favored as her.

He let Huo Wushuang choose any of his sons, and whoever she chose would be the crown prince, and the princes all showed their courtesy to her.

The emperor's actions won praise from both the court and the public. They all said that he valued and trusted the general and that the king did not doubt his ministers.

Huo Wushuang didn't want to pick on anyone. She grew up in the border area and didn't like the capital at all.

She loves freedom, loves galloping across the vast wilderness, and loves chopping off the heads of Japanese pirates with her own hands.

She didn't want to marry any man, and didn't want to be trapped in the backyard competing with many women for a man's favor. She disdained it.

She returned to Beijing this time to reassure the emperor and had no intention of getting married.

But before she could figure out how to escape, news of Huo Yu's death came from the border, saying that he was ambushed by Japanese pirates and poisoned to death.

General's wife, Shen, fainted when she heard the news.

The emperor was furious and immediately sent generals to the border, saying that he would avenge his brother at all costs.

Huo Wushuang didn't believe a word he said.

She sneaked out of the city overnight, without sleeping, and killed several horses, and arrived at the border before the court generals.

By the time the imperial court people arrived leisurely, Huo Wushuang had already led the Huo family army to repel the Japanese pirates and cut off the heads of the enemy generals.

She herself was seriously injured and almost died.

She suspected that the emperor was responsible for her father's death, but she could not find any evidence.

The court and the public were shocked again. It turned out that Huo Yu's daughter was also a master at leading troops. The God of War had a successor, so there was no need to worry about the invasion of Japanese pirates.

The emperor was almost angry to death when he got the news, and he was even more certain that Huo Yu had long been intending to be disloyal.

Otherwise, why would he teach his daughter martial arts and pass on to her all the skills of leading troops in battle?

Isn't it just to hold on to the military power tightly?

Rebellious ministers and traitors!
