Long Xiao wipes Qingfeng

Chapter 41 Confession

Jiang Xi was waiting for Xiao Jiu outside the prisoner-of-war camp. Seeing Xiao Jiu walking over gracefully and luxuriously with Xi Wen, he teased, "Yo, my cousin is here, how is my cousin's husband?"

Xiao Jiu rolled his eyes, and said: "You don't want to learn Jiang Huai's tunes, Zhong Shuo is very good, don't go to him if you have nothing to do."

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Why should I go to him if I have nothing to do? Cousin-in-law still needs to recuperate. You treat people like eyeballs, so cousin doesn't dare to say anything."

Xiao Jiu said: "Cousin knows, what is the crime of disrespecting the emperor?"

Jiang Xi took a half step back consciously, and said: "I don't dare."

Xiao Jiu said, "Have those prisoners of war gone to see it?"

Jiang Xi said: "I read it, you came late, the people below reported that you are the princess of Qianghu."

Xiao Jiu asked in surprise, "Princess? Who is her husband?"

"It's Qianghu's son-in-law, the youngest General Goshawk, Abed."

Xiao Jiu said, "Zhong Shuo killed her husband."

Jiang Xi said: "That's right, she stopped crying now, she bit and tore at the guarding soldiers, restrained her and then yelled at her, I'm afraid it's not right for you to go now."

The three of them had already arrived at the entrance of the tent, Xiao Jiu heard the voice of spitting inside, and said: "Everyone is here, let's take a look, the princess of Qianghu should be of some use."

Jiang Xi smiled and said: "Exactly, the old king Qianghu treats his daughter like a pearl like a treasure, very precious."

Xiao Jiu stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and said, "That's just right, what's her name?"

"Nasu."

The inside was in chaos, and the two soldiers barely held Nasu down, and she even spit on her face.

Xiwen dragged a chair, Xiao Jiu sat down, and said: "Find a chair, and let Her Royal Highness sit down."

So Princess Qianghu was tied to a chair.

She stopped cursing, but looked at Xiao Jiu carefully, and said in fluent Chinese: "Emperor Ji from Changhua also comes to this kind of place?"

Xiao Jiu was not surprised that she knew who she was, and said slowly: "You hurt my husband, why can't I come?"

Nasu reacted and said angrily, "Bah! Shameless! Your husband killed mine, why can't I hurt him? It's a pity that I didn't kill him!"

Xiao Jiu held back his breath a long time ago, and calmly said: "That depends on your own ability. You are in Changhua now, do you think your father will be very anxious? Your Royal Highness?"

Nasu had a violent temper, and said anxiously: "How dare you?! My father and king will definitely ignore you! Even if I die, I will not help the tyrant! Women in the desert will never betray their country!"

Xiao Jiu said: "It seems that Your Royal Highness has learned Chinese well, and can also use idioms. Of course you will not betray the country, so what if I want to force you? I cut off your finger at will and sent it back to your father. Does he mean that?" Won't come to rescue you?"

"You are shameless! Is a person like you worthy of being a Di Ji?!"

Xiao Jiu stood up, took a few steps forward, pinched her cheek, and said, "Whether I am worthy or not has nothing to do with you. There is one thing I need to tell you. Your husband's body is being placed outside."

Nasu couldn't speak because he pinched his cheeks, and could only stare wide-eyed.

Xiao Jiu said: "You obediently write a letter, find something personal and put it in, let us send it to your father, and then let you go and see him, how about it?"

Nasu hesitated, Xiao Jiu said again: "When you go back, send your husband's corpse back with you."

Although the person is gone, there is still a thought.

Xiao Jiu let go of his hand and said: "When the two countries are at war, the sword has no eyes. If Abe survives, Zhong Shuo will die. It is beyond human control. I pity you for losing your husband, but my husband is also seriously injured and dying. I respect you as a man." Fierce girl, if you don’t kill you, letting your father and king retreat to redeem you and your husband is already the biggest concession, so you can do it yourself.”

He turned to leave, and Jiang Xi followed behind him, saying: "My cousin has softened her heart."

Xiao Jiu glanced at him and said, "I'm in a different place, I can't be much better than her, but it's just limited mercy, it's nothing."

Jiang Xi said: "I really didn't expect you and Zhong Shuo to go so far."

He looked like he wanted to have a deep talk, but Xiao Jiu didn't want to talk too much, and said as he walked, "There are so many things you can't think of. I'll go back and see Zhong Shuo. You can do your work." After speaking, he went to Zhong Shuo again. Shuo's tent.

Cousin Jiang Xi was full of words, and standing in the cold wind in Linye, he finally understood what it meant to be "splashed water by a married daughter".

After Xiao Jiu broke up with Nasu, she thought about it for two days, and finally she was willing to write a letter to King Qianghu. After the letter was sent, Xiao Jiu asked someone to take her to collect Abede's body. Please refer to it when King Hu replies.

After all, Zhong Shuo was young, and his injury healed quickly, but Xiao Jiu was afraid that he would hurt the root, so he specially asked the military doctor to prescribe some tonics for his body. Watching him drink it every day, Zhong Shuo was very cooperative, no matter how strange the taste was, As long as it was served by Xiao Jiu, he would be bored like drinking in the army.

Jiang Xi wanted to see Zhong Shuo all the time, but was stopped by Xiao Jiu several times, and finally had no choice but to sneak into Zhong Shuo's camp when Xiao Jiu was away.

Zhong Shuo looked at Jiang Xi who looked like a thief, and asked doubtfully, "Master Jiang?"

Jiang Xi said: "I'll have a few words with you, and I'll leave in a while. Don't tell my cousin that I've been here."

cousin……

Zhong Shuo said, "Master Jiang, please tell me."

Jiang Xi didn't see him in the slightest, sat down and said: "Congratulations to General Zhong for winning the surprise attack yet."

Zhong Shuo said, "Your Majesty Jiang is too polite. Shuo dare not take credit for Changhua."

Jiang Xi said: "You are polite, you and your cousin are lovers, and you and Jiang Huai are also on good terms on weekdays, just follow Xuan Chen and call me cousin."

Xiao Jiu had already used the words Zhong Shuo gave him to flaunt everywhere, and Jiang Xi naturally knew about it.

Zhong Shuo listened to Jiang Xi's words "love couple", and for some reason, he was very upset in his heart, and he said, "Cousin."

Jiang Xi smiled and said: "Xuan Chen stopped me from seeing you, for fear that I would say something, but my father never told me anything, he worried for a long time in vain."

Zhong Shuo said: "Cousin is laughing, Your Highness has always been like this."

Jiang Xi glanced at him, and Zhong Shuo realized that he had said something wrong. He and Xiao Jiu were cousins, and he was the one who knew Xiao Jiu the most.

Zhong Shuo said apologetically, "Beining lost his mind, please forgive me, cousin."

Jiang Xi said: "No, I'm also pleased that you can do this. No one has ever protected my cousin like this."

Zhong Shuo didn't know what came to mind, and said with a smile, "Your Highness looks domineering, but he actually has a very good heart."

Jiang Xi said: "No, he was easy to bully when he was young, and he was framed by that vicious Zhuang Jing, and he learned a lot of lessons."

Zhong Shuo frowned slightly, "Emperor Zhuang Jing is not as good as His Highness, she must be jealous." He said it seriously, obviously thinking so from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Xi laughed, and said against conscience: "It should be so. Fortunately, she has a lack of virtue and has been locked up."

Both of them knew why Zhuang Jing "had lost her virtue", so they just tacitly agreed at this moment.

Jiang Xi said seriously: "Beining, that day you disappeared, Xuan Chen threw all the seals to me like crazy and ran away, I can see how much he cares about you, I don't need to say more about how difficult he is, so this This time I came here to tell you that since he was a child, he has never liked anyone, you are the first one, although the emperor doesn't love him very much, but my cousin is the baby of my Jiang family, you can't let him down."

"How old did I make you, and you can be regarded as the one I grew up with. I can see how good your character is. I used to be optimistic about you. If you betray him."

"I will slaughter you all over the house."

Zhong Shuo: "... Beining has been taught, thank you cousin." As expected of cousins, the methods are similar.

Jiang Xi nodded and said: "Then you can just lie down, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." He probably guessed that Xiao Jiu would be back soon, so he ran away in a hurry.

Not long after Xiao Jiu came back, Zhong Shuo said, "Your Highness, my cousin has been here."

Xiao Jiu said: "Thousands of precautions are still not taken care of, that's all, what did he say to you?"

Zhong Shuo said with a smile: "It is said that the minister should treat His Highness well."

Xiao Jiu said disdainfully: "What about you and me, you don't need him to point fingers."

Zhong Shuo said, "Cousin is for Your Highness."

Xiao Jiu said: "I know, it's just that if your injury is not healed, he will tell you something, like a bully."

Zhong Shuo leaned lightly on his shoulder, "No, Brother Jiang and I are acquainted, just talking a few words."

Xiao Jiu straightened his hair and said, "Okay, as long as you don't mind."

Zhong Shuo put his arms around his waist tentatively, and said, "I don't care."

Xiao Jiu leaned towards him so that he could move his hands and feet, and said, "Beining, do you want to watch me dance with a spear?"

Zhong Shuo raised his head and said, "Think."

Xiao Jiu wrapped him tightly, removed the headgear, and changed into a woman's strong attire, then asked Songzhu to clear an open space in front of the tent, and found the silver gun that Zhong Shuo had given Xiao Jiu.

The silver gun was quite heavy, so Xiao Jiu picked it up easily. He glanced at Zhong Shuo who was standing at the door of the camp. He held the gun with one hand and put it behind his back, pointing the tip of the gun obliquely at the ground.

Xiao Jiu didn't do any fancy moves, just raised the tip of the spear directly, turned around and turned around, using a set of marksmanship cleanly and neatly, like winter snow and spring thunder, stunning and resounding throughout the world, his thin waist was outlined by his strong clothes, Zhong Shuo really likes the arc when he bends down and turns around.

After playing with a set of guns, Zhong Shuo even had other thoughts.

Xiao Jiu put the gun back and said, "How?"

Zhong Shuo said with a smile, "It's just like a spring flower, you never forget it when you see it."

Xiao Jiu handed the gun to the attendant, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Why are you so good at talking?"

Zhong Shuo dragged Xiao Jiu into the tent, and replied, "Because..."

Song Zhu suddenly said outside the tent: "Your Highness, General, Qiang Hu's reply letter has arrived."

Zhong Shuo stopped what he was about to blurt out, looked at Xiao Jiu, and said, "Bring it in."

Songzhu came in with a piece of cloth in his hand, Zhong Shuo took it over to look at it, and said, "He said he would send Nasu back, so he withdrew his troops and gave us the stone forest and sand dunes."

Xiao Jiu said: "It was a surprise to catch Su. I didn't expect this battle to be so easy."

Zhong Shuo said: "It is God who cares for Your Highness, and their troops were also depleted a lot."

Xiao Jiu squeezed his hand, and said: "You can say yes, but in short, we should strengthen our defenses, otherwise Qianghu will pretend to surrender."

With rich experience, Zhong Shuo nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness, why don't you send envoys to the peace talks and let them retreat first. My injuries are not serious, but I can take people to the sand dunes myself."

His health was indeed recovering quickly. Xiao Jiu went to the military doctor every day, probably knowing better than himself, so he said, "Well, let's choose an envoy first. How about Jiang Xi?"

Zhong Shuo felt that it was not so good.

Seeing his disapproving expression, Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "It's just a joke, my cousin is too tired, let someone else go."

It's true that Jiang Xi couldn't leave, and it was a bit dangerous to go, so it was not suitable for him to go.

Zhong Shuo found the list, discussed with Xiao Jiu carefully, and finally settled on a person from the army.

The following things went much smoother. King Qianghu treated Nasu very well and was willing to exchange his fief for his daughter. The peace talks ended soon, and the corpses of Nasu and her husband were also sent back. Qianghu retreated, and Zhong Shuo led the people The sand dunes were drawn ten miles into the territory of Changhua, water sources were dug, additional troops were stationed, and the Great Wall was requested to be built.

These are considered the achievements of Emperor Longde's reign, and he quickly approved the papers when they were sent to the palace.

By the time Zhong Shuo recovered from his injury, the foundations of the Great Wall had already been laid.

In the late spring and March, Linye was still cold, but there were wild geese, and the westerly wind and desert scenery of Duanyan, looking at the desert at Yumen Pass, looked like a long yellow river rolling under the sun.

Zhong Shuo stood beside Xiao Jiu and sighed: "Only when I saw the desert, I realized that I am as ordinary as a gravel, and it takes only a moment to snap my fingers for a hundred years."

Xiao Jiu said: "In a century, the same is true for the emperor. How to live up to himself is an eternal problem."

Zhong Shuo looked sideways at him and said, "I used to think that the Zhong family was my responsibility in this life, thinking that to live up to the Zhong family was to live up to myself, but that was different when I met His Highness in Jiang's mansion that year."

Xiao Jiu faintly looked forward to it, and asked, "Why is it different?"

Zhong Shuo said: "I fall in love with you at first sight, but it's hard to let go of your love."

Before Xiao Jiu could speak, Zhong Shuo continued, "On His Highness's birthday, what I wanted to say to His Highness on the city wall can only be said today."

"Your Highness, I am pleased with you."

He finally said it, and slowly let go of his nervously clenched hands, and was pulled into Xiao Jiu's arms the next moment.

Perhaps he was so happy that he couldn't hold back his strength, which made Zhong Shuo's scar a little painful.

Zhong Shuo held his shoulders, Xiao Jiu leaned over to kiss him, from intense to lingering, and finally ended, Zhong Shuo couldn't even handle it.

Xiao Jiu leaned on his shoulder and said, "Beining, I'm very happy, thank you, thank you."

Zhong Shuo secretly laughed at Xiao Jiu's foolishness, and said, "I want to thank Your Highness. I heard what you said to my uncle that day, and I thought about it a lot. I have to be selfish once, even if Your Highness regrets it later and hates me." Yes, I am also willing to miss the future of His Highness, this is an unforgivable crime."

Xiao Jiu smiled sullenly on his shoulder, and said: "Yes, you have committed a serious crime, Your Highness punishes your crime, would you like to?"

The tips of Zhong Shuo's ears gradually turned red, and he said, "Yes, His Highness is willing to say anything."

Xiao Jiu kissed the tip of his ear and said, "Okay, as long as you like it."

Zhong Shuo leaned in Xiao Jiu's arms to watch the afterglow and sunset, pairs of geese, and stretches of yellow sand, they are the most insignificant people in the world, they should have lived alone, struggling and suffering in the world of mortals, but they met at last, Embracing each other in the faint spring breeze of Yumen Pass, after all, they are cuddling each other, not envious of swan geese.

Zhong Shuo remembered that when they were in Yangzhou, Xiao Jiu left in anger. He sat by the window alone, feeling that the sharpest knife on the grassland was not as painful as his own. There are also the creaking stairs of the century-old store that have been in disrepair for a long time, the greeting of the second child Wu Nong in soft words, and the person waiting for him with an umbrella under the green willow tree in front of the door.

He has thousands of thoughts and dare not speak.

Fortunately, Xiao Jiu was too stubborn, the flower basket in the rain, the life-like ring, all of which he trusted physically and mentally. When he was still hesitating, it was Xiao Jiu who cut off his back path and let everyone know that he was the only one who could do without him.

The vows of the mountain alliance are too thin, and staying together is the only promise for the rest of my life.

Thank God, when I meet him in this life, I have a branch to rely on.
