Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 49 Fate is like a chess game (8)

Chen Wufu pulled Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng to a remote corner, and said to them: "I saw everything just now."

"Sir..." Gu Feng sighed in his heart, thankfully Ye Ziqi didn't agree just now, otherwise Chen Wufu would definitely beat them both up.

"Didn't think she'd want the two of you, it's really—"

"Don't worry, sir, the two of us belong to the second guard, and our heart is the heart of the second guard. We will never succumb to the despotic power of the third guard!"

"It's not about this." Chen Wufu waved his hands at the two recruits, "There are too many things involved here. Since you are involved, it's better to understand clearly. I said, listen."

"Yes." The two teenagers nodded in bewilderment.

"Sit down." Chen Wufu said, leading the two to sit down on the cold stone floor, and said: "First of all, the general Baichengshuang should not be long."

"Eh?" Ye Ziqi was startled again when he heard that, the fifth-rank general in Yiwei hasn't said to leave yet, will Bai Chengshuang, a third-rank master who has mastered the cold domain, be able to do it for long?
Chen Wufu eloquently said:
"Originally, she was not a member of the three guards. Baichengshuang was the commander of the first guard last year. After the former commander of the three guards, General Wang Xian, died of illness, she was directly transferred to the third guard by the king to take over Wang Xian's class.

At that time, some people said that it was because Baichengshuang and her elder brother Baichengyan had a bad relationship, and they had repeatedly contradicted the head of the guard, so they were separated; others said that this was to strengthen the control of the Baicheng royal family over the army.But these arguments are not the main reasons. "

"Actually, after the death of General Wang Xian, the position of the Chief of the Three Guards has been vacant for a few months because of two people - Chief of Staff Wang Zhong and Ma Chao.

Both of these two are well-known veterans of the Three Guards. They were born in a family of famous generals. Their ability, prestige, military exploits and influence are also evenly matched. They are recognized as the most suitable heirs of the Chief of Guards.But the problem is, they are not willing to give up the head of the guard to each other, and a lot of troubles have occurred in the past few months.In the end, the lord transferred Baichengshuang to take the position. "

Gu Feng said: "How could the two commanders agree to this arrangement?"

"Think about it, how old is General Shuang this year?"

"I heard it was 21."

"What's the number one priority for a woman at this age?"

"Could it be—a marriage?"

"That's right, everyone has tacitly agreed that Bai Chengshuang was transferred to be the head of the guard. It's just a way to slow down the army. With her status and ability, no one in the country can match her. A prince of the Celestial Dynasty. A person who will not stay in Ju for long, how can he be a general of Ju?"

"This way, the two commanders were calmed down for the time being. After negotiation, because Wang Zhong and Ma Chao are also bold and unrestrained men, they made a bet in front of the king, from the day Baichengshuang took office to the day she got married. Until the end of the day, whoever has made more military achievements during the period will be the next head of the guard, and the other will never be dissatisfied and will definitely assist with all his heart."

"There is another advantage of this move, that is, it can increase the value of Baichengshuang. General Lian Hongye's hometown has a beautiful general with the same status as General Lian. If such rumors spread to the inland, people will always be interested. Everyone It is beneficial to find a good husband for General Shuang among the nations, and it will also be the backing of the Ju family in the future."

"So, is Baichengshuang's general position really a dowry his father prepared for her?" Ye Ziqi asked.

"Huh." This time Chen Wufu was taken aback, "That's right."

"But, what does this have to do with us?" Gu Feng said: "Sir, if you want to persuade us that 'General Shuang will stay in Ju for a short time, so don't follow her', you just need to give us an order." , there is no need to talk about these inside stories."

"Haven't you seen it yet?" Chen Wufu smiled helplessly: "After this matter is done, the country of Ju, the royal family, the army, and the interests of all aspects are calculated, but no one has calculated the interests of Shuang. The general himself meant it. That's the problem."

"What does General Frost mean? What is that?"

Faced with the two people's questions, Chen Wufu did not answer immediately, but stared straight at Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng, and said after a while:
"You are what General Shuang means."

"what?"

Chen Wufu said: "According to what we said earlier, General Shuang only needs to be a nominal general when she takes office. But, after all, she is a student taught by General Lian, and she pulled out the sharp spear from the king's tomb again" Han Po 'People who are not willing to eat vegetarian meals after all.

From the first day she took office, General Shuang started military affairs and refined the army. Even if everyone treated her coming to Sanwei as a formality, she has been doing this seriously all by herself.It has been almost a year now, if there is any difference between her and the real general, it is probably because she still lacks a few of her cronies. "

"My dear friend?"

"That's right, without a capable confidant, you will not be able to stand firmly in Sanwei after all. But most of the officers in Sanwei have already chosen sides between Wang Zhong and Ma Chao, and there is nothing left for her. This is what everyone affirms. One of the reasons why Chengshuang has not been working for a long time. But—"

Chen Wufu stared at Ye Gu and Ye Gu seriously and said, "She invited you two to join the three guards, which is sending a signal to the whole Hanye City that she is going to cultivate her own power."

"Also, you may not know that after winning the game of martial arts, General Shuang's request to the king is not to arrange her marriage this year. Our princess may really prefer military uniforms over red ones."

"Then, sir, what should we do?" Ye Ziqi asked.

"I don't know." Chen Wufu smiled bitterly: "There are so many people who don't want General Shuang to stay in the country for a long time. I'm just worried that someone will dislike you, so I'll let you know in advance. What fate, after all, is chosen by oneself. No matter what you want to do in the future, just ask yourself to have no regrets."

"Sir, why don't you say something to keep us here?" Ye Ziqi joked.

"Hmph, who cares about you!" Chen Wufu also laughed and said, "Okay, this is the end of this matter. Now I will tell you the business, which is Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng."

"Here!" Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng stood up in response, straightened their bodies, and they could tell that this was about to explain military affairs.

"Next, your task is to follow the lord to Tianshui City of Yiguo to participate in the Leizhou Conference."

"What!" Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng were shocked when they heard the words.

"Don't be so surprised. During the Leizhou meeting, there will also be a 'martial arts' competition among countries to add to the fun. You performed very well in the military exercise. I saw half of it, and I thought I had to pick you two this year. Can't run away."

"But isn't the second guard going to fight in the north soon? Centurion, we want to kill horse thieves with you!" Ye Ziqi shouted.

"I know." Chen Wufu said: "But it can't be done. Leizhou will be a major event that affects the fate of the entire Leizhou. The four countries in Leizhou have now launched a counterattack against the horse thieves to recover supplies. It is inevitable that there will be times when they need to cross the border and cooperate with each other.

The Leizhou Council, the rulers of the four kingdoms of Yi, Ju, Cheng, and Ming, sat down to discuss these matters in advance.And its form is more important than its content.

Kyushu regards Leizhou Meeting as the meeting of the Song Dynasty to defend against Qianzhou.Every soldier who goes forward must be the best in order to demonstrate the military might of our country.

You have been selected by the higher authorities. For a Ju soldier, participating in the Leizhou meeting is the highest honor.This is a military order. "

"Yes..." Ye Ziqi finally said.

Chen Wufu suddenly patted Ye Ziqi on the shoulder.

"The centurion—"

"Don't worry, after the Leizhou meeting is over, I'll take you all to wipe out the horse thieves." Chen Wufu said heavily.He had personally led these two subordinates back and forth to Beishan Town to bury the bones, so he naturally understood what they were most looking forward to.

"Yes!" Ye Ziqi finally said firmly.

"If you have anything to worry about in the city, just go and have a look. Next time you come back, you don't know when it will be."

-

At the turn of winter and spring, the grass grows and orioles fly.

The color of the city is clean, under the plaque of "Tang Mansion", a girl in green is leaning on the lintel.

On both sides is a pair of Spring Festival couplets: "A few more joys in the old year", "New Year's blessings are more abundant".

The girl's head drooped slightly, her eyes fell on the ground, her hands were behind her back, she propped her body up and bounced from time to time, and the ring made a jingling sound.

Why haven't the people who waited come yet?
Will he not come?

Tang Wandie felt nervous in her heart.

After learning that the army was about to leave, she went to the barracks.However, they were told that the two had left.So she sneaked to the door of the house again and waited.Perhaps, they will come here to find themselves.

Hongxia has paved the way, who is it waiting for to go home?

"what--"

Turning the corner, Ye Ziqi let out a soft breath.

Just to see a friend, but it's really not easy to leave.

He had already planned to complain a few words first when they met, but when he saw the girl who had been waiting here early, he suddenly felt that this trip was worth it.

The girl walked towards him, and the sounds made by her waist restraint were slow and heavy.

Come to him.

"Are you leaving?" the girl asked.

"Yes." Ye Ziqi said: "Go to Yiguo Tianshui and participate in the Leizhou meeting."

He will come and she will wait.

No questioning, no explanation, tacit understanding.

"Here, this is my masterpiece." Tang Wandie held out a small wooden box with the lid open, and there were two yellow Xia Changdans inside.

"Thanks."

Ye Ziqi raised her hand to take it, but Tang Wandie waved her wrist, stretched it straight to Gu Feng and said, "Gu Feng, it's for you."

"Well, thanks." Gu Feng took the pill.

Ye Ziqi hung his hands in the air in embarrassment, and said helplessly: "I really——almost forgot how bad my relationship with you is."

"It's good that you know." Tang Wandie smiled.

Ye Ziqi put down his hand, but the moment he withdrew it, Tang Wandie suddenly grabbed him!
Ye Ziqi felt something was stuffed into his hand.

When I lifted it up, it turned out to be a red sachet.

The girl's pretty face flashed out from behind the sachet: "This is for you."

Ye Ziqi suddenly widened his pupils.

What does it mean when a woman gives a man a sachet?

"Be careful on the road, come back early." Tang Wandie said with rare seriousness.

"This time I'm going out to fight horse thieves, I don't know when I'll be back." Ye Ziqi said softly.

"The girl is going to find you."

"Eh?" Ye Ziqi thought he heard it wrong, "What did you say?"

However, at the next moment, an even more unimaginable scene appeared.

Tang Wandie stepped forward lightly, put her cheek against his, put her lips to his ear, and said softly:
"If you dare to come back too slowly, this girl will find you in person. The spices in the sachet are refined by this girl using spells. The fragrance can guide the way. No matter where you are, I will definitely find you!"

Ye Ziqi was dumbfounded, and instinctively looked to Gu Feng for help, but when he glanced over, he found that Gu Feng was gone!
"You don't need to look for it. He took my girl's pill and left a long time ago." Tang Wandie laughed.

Ye Ziqi was speechless again.

However, Tang Wandie did not continue to tease him, and returned to standing upright, facing him, and finally said softly:
"Safe journey."

The jade bracelet is light gauze, as light as the sunset.
