Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Yancheng.

When Deputy General Lei and others woke up in the restaurant and learned that Xie Wenyuan was actually the former crown prince of Da Zhao, they felt like the sky was falling.

Some people cried, some cursed, some broke down, and some even hit themselves on the head, but no one wanted to believe that this could be true.

Xie Wenyuan was not the kind of person who would feel guilty. When he heard the deputy generals scolding him, he scratched his ears, looked at them with disdain, and even taught them a lesson.

"You win and you lose, don't you understand? You still expect your enemies to show you mercy.

"Everyone is too stupid to use their brains. If you are deceived, you have to admit it. If you only know how to curse, you will not achieve anything."

Lieutenants,...

Ouch, I'm so angry, so angry!

"Mr. Xie, the prince trusts you so much and has given you all the power! How could you betray the prince!"

A confidant of King Wei glared at Xie Wenyuan with red eyes and accused him.

"Come on, the King of Wei is my puppet. I am the King of Wei's master. Do you understand this with your stupid brain?"

Xie Wenyuan raised his hand and hit him on the head, acting so righteously.

Confidant,...

The sense of faith I had in the past completely collapsed.

Is this the truth?

"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste time talking to you. You weren't killed outright because I thought you were still useful. I wanted to keep you alive and use you as mules."

Xie Wenyuan said,

"If you don't want to be one, I will be happy to fulfill your loyalty and will considerately let your family go with you so that you won't be alone."

My lieutenants,...

"General, I, I am willing to surrender to you!" Deputy General Wang said immediately.

"Oh... you can't." Xie Wenyuan glanced at him and waved his hand, "My prince said that anyone who humiliated his sweetheart yesterday can only die."

Deputy General Wang looked confused and frightened. What did that mean?

After being reminded by others, he finally realized that he was a little drunk after drinking a glass of wine yesterday and made a few dirty jokes about the prince's favorite concubine.

Is that all?

He is not convinced!

"No one can protect you if you say that in front of the prince." Xie Wenyuan said, "By the way, the magistrate of Yongchang County is the prince."

The deputy generals were defeated again!!

Oh, how stupid they are!

The two great princes of Zhao were right before their eyes, yet they didn't even notice them.

The anger in my heart was almost covered up by my own stupidity.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. I'll give you half an hour to think about it. If you really want to join me, come out of this room and someone will lead you away.

If you don’t want to join us, you don’t have to come out. It’s up to you to choose whether to commit suicide or wait to be harvested.”

After Xie Wenyuan finished speaking, he stood up and left quickly.

Compared with the Crown Prince Xie Jin's attempt to surrender, it can only be said that Xie Wenyuan's attempt to surrender was completely devoid of humanity and only contained various threats.

However, because of Xie Wenyuan's despicable attitude of "I am the greatest and you are all mules", and his daily behavior, people also feel that he is a genuine person and would not do such a thing as to abandon the donkey after it has done its work.

Moreover, the King of Wei is his puppet. Their loyalty to the King of Wei is actually loyalty to him, isn't it?

There is nothing wrong with this logic.

Deputy General Lei touched the wooden puppy in his arms, stood up first and walked out.

He has a mother, a wife and a few children waiting for him at home. If he died on the battlefield, they will receive a pension.

But now that he was dead, they could only die with him.

Deputy General Lei felt that he had no choice. He should follow whoever gave him a chance to survive. Isn't that the law of nature?

What's there to be entangled about?

"Deputy General Lei, are you willing to be a running dog of the Great Zhao?" King Wei's confidant scolded him.

"The King of Wei has long been a dog raised by the general." Deputy General Lei turned around and said to him.

The King of Wei's confidants were defeated again.

Others,...

It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it.

After a while, a few more people stood up and walked out.

In the end, except for the lieutenant generals who were sentenced to death, everyone chose to walk out. It was because their sense of faith collapsed.

The monarchs they are loyal to are all puppets. How can you expect them to hold on?

-

"How is it? My prestige is pretty good, right? They all surrendered!"

After Xie Wenyuan learned the news, he immediately said to Xie Jin proudly.

"Yeah, that's good!" Xie Jin nodded with a smile.

"Things in Yancheng have come to an end for now, and the follow-up has been arranged. Come back to Funing City with me, and I'll hold a celebration banquet for you."

"We haven't even entered the Chu palace yet and captured the Chu emperor." Xie Wenyuan waved his hand and said modestly.

"I feel unworthy of having a celebration banquet right now."

Xie Jin smiled and watched his performance quietly without saying a word.

What's the point of a one-man show? Xie Wenyuan glared at him and was too lazy to act anymore. "Leave now?"

Xie Jin nodded, "Let's go."

He is eager to go home.

"Your Highness, Hu Xiaoqi is clamoring to see you." At this time, the personal guard came over to report.

"...Okay, got it." Xie Jin responded.

I almost forgot about him.

"Who is Hu Xiaoqi?" Xie Wenyuan asked.

"How about you come with me to meet him?" Xie Jin told him about Hu Xiaoqi's situation, and Xie Wenyuan became interested after hearing it.

"Okay, let's go and take a look." Xie Wenyuan agreed.

-

"Have you forgotten about me?!"

As soon as Hu Xiaoqi saw Xie Jin, he asked in an accusing tone.

"...Of course not. I have been busy recruiting the Chu army." Xie Jin said with an unchanged expression.

"Thanks to your help, everything went smoothly and there were no extra casualties."

"Recruiting the Chu army? What does that mean? You captured the tens of thousands of Chu troops who came to support you? How come I didn't hear any movement at all?"

Hu Xiaoqi asked in surprise.

Because it was too quiet, he couldn't stay there for a day and a night and wanted to know what was going on outside.

Xie Jin explained it to him and introduced Xie Wenyuan next to him, pointing out that he was the general of the Chu army and the former crown prince of the Zhao Dynasty.

Hu Xiaoqi,...

Oh my God!

Even if he succeeded in kidnapping the prince's concubine and his child, the Chu army would have no chance of winning!

Because my hometown has been stolen!

In this battle, Great Zhao was destined to win, it was just a matter of how.

The prince chose a method with the least casualties, which was enough to prove that his previous words were not deceiving him.

Hu Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xie Jin,

"You will be my noble master from now on. I will follow you and you can assign tasks for me."

Seeing his unusual arrogance, Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but laugh and said immediately,

"I heard that you can fight Xie Xiaoer for a long time. Your martial arts skills are pretty good. Do you want to work with me and be my bodyguard? There are too many people around him, so you don't have a good chance to show off."

"Who is Xie Xiaoer?" Hu Xiaoqi asked.

"...the King of Qi who caught you and threw you into the stinking ditch." Xie Jin explained, and did not forget to add a bunch of adjectives to modify it, no, to incite hatred.

Hu Xiaoqi's face immediately became full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "When I practice martial arts hard, I will definitely be able to defeat him. I am still young, and he is already old!"

"That's great!" Xie Wenyuan applauded him and said with a smile,

"Xiao Qi, do you want to go with me to the Chu Kingdom Palace to play? You can also follow me to the prairie in the future. The world is so big, you can go wherever you want."

Hu Xiaoqi was a little confused. He looked at Xie Jin, then at Xie Wenyuan, and was having difficulty making a decision.

"What do you mean?" Hu Xiaoqi asked Xie Jin, "I've been seduced by him, why don't you try to keep me?"

"...It's good to follow him." Xie Jin nodded. "Following me, you have to follow a lot of etiquette. You are being disrespectful to me by speaking to me like this."

Go now.

"Did you hear that? If you follow him, you have to pretend, which is annoying." Xie Wenyuan said with a look of disgust, "Follow me, no one will care about you, it will be very comfortable."

Hu Xiaoqi thought about it and it made sense. The old man had taught him etiquette before, but he hated it and didn't want to learn it at all.

"Then should I call you master from now on?" Hu Xiaoqi asked Xie Wenyuan.

"It's up to you. You can call me cousin." Xie Wenyuan patted his shoulder like a brother.

Hu Xiaoqi,...

Oh, my dear cousin, you are so kind.

I feel like he made the right choice!

Xie Jin, ...

As long as you two are happy!

Funing City, Princess Mansion.

"Wow...Father, I finally see you!" When Xie Hongbao saw Xie Wenyuan, he hugged him and cried with joy.

"That's enough. You're all grown up now. Just cry for a while. You can't keep crying." Xie Wenyuan wiped his tears with a smile and patted his shoulder.

"Yes, yes, you are a big boy now."

Xie Hongbao wiped his tears, smiled at him, looked at him and said, "Father has gained a lot of weight and seems to be younger."

Xie Wenyuan,...

I have a big heart and a fat body, so I can't get over this topic, right?

Xie Wenyuan tapped him on the forehead in annoyance, then looked at the eldest princess, Zheng Qingyan and other people, and greeted them with a smile.

"Everyone, long time no see."

The eldest princess was not familiar with her nephew either. She had only seen him when he was young, but had not seen him since then.

The princess didn't know what he was like when he was the crown prince, so when she learned what he had done, she greeted him warmly.

"Wenyuan, come to your aunt's place. The last time your aunt saw you was when you were five years old."

"When Auntie spoke, I suddenly felt like a child again." Xie Wenyuan walked up to her with a smile.

"I still remember my aunt gave me a small bow and arrow, which I liked very much. I wanted to become an archery expert, but they said that I was the prince and didn't need to practice archery so hard.

Alas, now I can only talk nonsense with my mouth, but I am not active and I am not good at martial arts. I can do nothing else..."

The princess was amused by his words and praised him, "Your mouth can defeat thousands of troops!"
