lady, please calm down

'Da~da~da~'

Accompanied by a rhythmic sound of horse hooves, a nimble figure wearing a white robe quickly approached on a green-maned horse.

The personal guards cruising around the outside saw the opponent's menacing approach, and immediately gathered on the march of the white-robed knights to block it.

It wasn't until Xu Xiaoyi, the commander of the personal barracks, saw the face of the visitor clearly that he said: "Allow the alert, it's Commander Shen."

"Captain Shen"

More than ten breaths later, Tie Dan passed by Xiao Yi. With just a slight pull on the reins, the green-maned horse passed Xiao Yi's side. He turned a deaf ear to Xiao Yi's greeting and galloped straight towards the King of Chu. past.

This scene left Xiao Yi confused. If Tie Dan wanted to harm the King of Chu, he wouldn't believe it, but Tie Dan's enthusiasm clearly meant that he wanted to attack the king.

"Boss, Captain Shen seems to be very angry."

Pao Ze warned, Xiao Yi couldn't feel relieved after all, and hurriedly led others to follow him.

Today, Chen Chu had a rare free time and accompanied Ayu and Nian'er out of the city to play.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Chen Chu and A Yu looked over one after another.

But they saw Tiedan, who was a dozen or so steps away from a family of three, suddenly reining in his horse and stopping. The green-maned horse neighed and its front hooves flew into the air.

Tiedan leaned back, still sitting firmly on the horse's back. When the horse's hooves hit the ground, he quickly turned over and jumped down.

A set of movements is smooth and flowing, relaxed and elegant.

Looking at it, Nian'er clapped her hands and shouted in a milky voice: "Auntie is amazing, Auntie is amazing"

But after Tiedant dismounted, he walked forward angrily, but he seemed not to have expected that Ayu and his son were there, so he couldn't help but stop a few steps away and glare at Chen Chu.

Chen Chu was confused, got up and walked over on his own initiative, wondering: "What's wrong? Who made me, General Shen, angry?"

It was obviously a joke, but it didn't make Tie Dan laugh. She turned her head to look at the ground, not looking at Chen Chu. However, her red face and pursed lips undoubtedly proved that General Shen was very good. Not happy.

Like a child who is unconvinced and irritated with others.

Ayu behind him and Xiaoyi in the distance all came over nervously. It wasn't that they didn't believe in Tie Dan, but General Shen was famous for his reputation. He had a record of kicking King Chu out of bed more than a year ago. Who could They were all afraid that General Shen would suddenly show off his power and accidentally hurt the King of Chu!
At this moment, he probably guessed why Tiedan found him with an unhappy look on his face, and he asked tentatively: "But for the purpose of leading the army?"

Tie Dan, who was furious, opened his mouth and said: "Why are you robbing my people? The Second Guards Regiment are all old brothers brought down from the mountains by my father. Why don't you let me lead the troops to the expedition!"

That's the thing, but Tie Dan has never been a person who is good at verbal arguments, so when these words came out of her mouth, they completely changed their taste.
What does 'rob my person' mean? 'What does it mean that 'the two regiments of the Guards are all old brothers brought down from the mountains by their father'?
Tie Dan clearly did not mean this, but to others, most likely they would think that Tie Dan regarded the Second Guards Regiment as his captives and his private soldiers!
In the eyes of superiors, this is the most intolerable thing. How many years did it take King Chu to eliminate the situation of numerous hills in the Huaibei Army in the old Xiang Army system?

Will there be a good end for those who treat the military as private property?
Kou Shizhong, the former commander of the armed guards, was killed for treason.

Ma Maoxing, the former commander of the Ningjiang Army, died mysteriously in the rebellion, and the family members were completely eliminated.
Not to mention, Chen Chu had already regarded the Second Guards Regiment as his most trusted personal guard.

Xiao Yi, who had just caught up, was startled when he heard this and shouted: "Sister, be careful what you say!"

He was regarded as a brother by the king of Chu, and he was also a runaway son of the same lineage as Tiedan. He was afraid that the two would cause trouble due to misunderstandings, so in his desperation, he even forgot to call out his duties.

Tiedan grew up in the mountains and fields since he was a child. He knows nothing about power and planning for kings and ministers, and is as innocent as a blank slate.

But after all, he had been in the Huaibei Army for many years. After Xiao Yi reminded him, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
I was very angry when I came here, but now I didn't make it clear what I meant. Instead, I said the wrong thing.

Tie Dan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly he felt a huge grievance in his heart, and his eye sockets couldn't help but heat up.

In order not to shed tears in front of Chen Chu, Tie Dan didn't say anything, turned around, jumped on his horse, and rode towards the city.

It came unexpectedly, and it went inexplicably.

Chen Chu stood there, looking at Tie Dan's back as he ran away and wiped away his tears, and said nothing for a long time.

"Uncle." At this moment, Ayu stepped forward and gently pulled Chen Chu's arm. The latter turned back, smiled, and said, "It's okay."

Over there, Xiao Yi, who had resumed his alert formation, was also frowning.

Nowadays, the 1st Guards Regiment of Tongshan's team and the 2nd Guards Regiment of Shen Zaixing's team are indistinguishable from each other, just like the veterans riding side by side with Xiao Yi were transferred from the 2nd Guards Regiment to the pro-military camp in the early years.

After pondering for a long time, the old soldier said, "Boss Xu, in his early years, Brother Shen was busy with his life and had no time to teach Tiedan. She definitely didn't mean to seize military power. She probably wanted to bring her old brothers to avenge Brother Shen, but she suddenly knew that the prince would not let her lead the troops to the battle, so she said the wrong thing in a hurry. Boss Xu, you are close to the prince, please explain it for her."

"Yes, I know."

Xiao Yi nodded, but said unsurely: "Your Majesty is not such a petty person. Your Majesty should be aware of Sister Shen's character and won't take it to heart."

"Hey~" The veteran sighed, but did not seem to be relieved by Xiao Yi's words of comfort. He only muttered: "What's going on, Your Majesty? Back then, we promised Brother Shen in Tokyo that he wanted to marry Tie Dan! All this is dragging him down. It's been almost two years, but there's still no movement! Let me tell you, if we were brave enough to have a baby, would she still be clamoring to lead the army? That would solve everyone's worries. "

Hearing that he meant to complain about the prince's inability to do things well, Xiao Yi was not happy anymore and said straightly: "It's not like the prince didn't work hard! I was almost kicked out of my descendants by Captain Shen last time!"

Shen Zaixing has a very high prestige in the hearts of the refugees from Bashan Jiuzhaigou. Now the feelings of the refugees towards him have naturally been inherited by Tie Dan. Therefore, they are not only worried about Tie Dan's life events, but also worried about the last time the King of Chu was kicked. Feel ashamed.

It's like the fear of the father and brother of the mother-in-law when her daughter gets married and her husband's family discovers something wrong with her and wants to divorce her.

Just listen to the old soldier shouting: "Anyway, the prince promised Brother Shen in the city! The prince is the most heroic figure in the world, and he will definitely not do such shameless things! It stands to reason that Tiedan is already a member of the prince's palace. If the prince doesn’t train him well, it’s his fault and it has nothing to do with us! If the prince wants to regret it, he can go and talk to our brother Shen.”

The goods have been sold and we are not responsible!
Night, Xu hour.

In the residence of Ganquanfang, there was a small bundle on the table in the fourth bedroom. Tie Dan sat at the table with his slightly red and swollen eyes open, looking at the candlelight and not knowing what he was thinking.

'Tuk~Tuk~'

There was a knock on the door, but Tie Dan remained the same, showing no intention of getting up to say hello.

Immediately, the door was pushed open with a creak.

Tie Dan subconsciously turned around, only to see A Yu walking in with a gentle smile on his face. Tie Dan quickly turned his head away to prevent A Yu from seeing his eyes that were red from crying.

She and A-Yu were not familiar with each other. The most common interaction between the two was the teaching group organized by Cai's sister La Yunong and A-Yu last year to teach brave men and women.

Therefore, now that the two of them were in the same room, Tiedan still felt a little embarrassed.

But Ayu lost her usual reserved look and sat down at the table. She pointed at the baggage and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Sister Shen wants to go back to Caizhou?"

"What's the point of staying here if I don't go back? Anyway, he doesn't need me to lead troops to fight. I can only fight."

Although his tone was not as angry as it was this afternoon, there was still obvious resentment.

Ayu smiled, then took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, unfolded it and placed it in front of Tiedan.

Tie Dan, who looked sideways and looked away, glanced at it with his peripheral vision and saw the three characters "Letter of Appointment" written clearly on the paper, with all the lower regular script written on it.

Tie Dan immediately got closer and took a closer look. "He appointed Wu Kui, the leader of the Sixth Regiment, as the commander of the former enemy, and Shen Tie Dan of the Second Guards Regiment as his deputy. After joining Xin's troops, the Sixth Regiment and the Second Guards Regiment were ordered by Xin Qiji."

Just seeing this, Tie Dan was already happy. As for taking orders from Xin Qiji, she didn't care!
She just wants to take her father's brothers to personally avenge her father and fulfill her biggest wish!
Now that she has this letter of appointment, it means that Chen Chu has allowed her to lead the army again!
Until then, Ayu sighed and said helplessly: "My lord does not disbelieve in your ability to lead troops in war, but he has already regarded you as a family member. This expedition behind enemy lines is ultimately dangerous. After all, he has some selfish motives and does not want you." Go on an adventure.”

When Ayu and Cai Hua fight, she looks much childish, but if she wants to enlighten a childlike person like Tie Dan, she can do it easily.

Especially when Tie Dan heard her say, "It's not that he doesn't believe in your ability" and "He has selfish motives after all and doesn't want you to take risks." Tie Dan suddenly felt guilty and felt that he was too reckless in the afternoon and shouldn't have gone up there. Generally speaking, we should first listen to what Brother Chu has to say.

"I will be careful. You go back. Go back and tell him that after I avenge my father, if he doesn't want me to fight in the future, I will not fight. Tell him not to worry."

Tie Dan lowered his head and said this hesitantly, with some intention of apologizing, but the real owner was not in front of him. But Ayu said: "You can tell him this yourself."

"."

Tie Dan couldn't help but hesitate. If these words were in front of Chen Chu, she might not be able to say them out.

Ayu smiled and sighed: "After I came back today, the prince sat in the room for a long time. Later he told me that Tiedan was different from others. She had a chivalrous spirit in her heart and was as sincere as a child. Love and hate are clearly defined. The prince also said that he should not keep you in a cage like a little bird, but should ask your opinion in advance, and should not make decisions for you for selfish reasons."

It was originally a bland description, but after listening to it, Tie Dan could no longer hold back his tears. He just lowered his head and let the tears drip down his cheeks and onto his clothes.

"It's not his fault, it's all my fault."

After listening to Ayu's retelling of Chen Chu's implicit self-blame, Tiedan felt uncomfortable in his heart and could only relieve himself by admitting his mistakes.

Ayu didn't try to dissuade him, and let Tie Dan vent his anger on his own. After dozens of breaths, Tie Dan stopped crying. Then he sheepishly smiled at A Yu and explained, "I don't know. What's the matter? In the past, I didn't even cry when I was stung by snakes and scorpions in the mountains."

"A woman can cry a few times without being embarrassed~"

Ayu smiled and handed her handkerchief to Tiedan, and then said quietly as if she was feeling something: "When you have someone in your heart, that's how it is. You will secretly be happy all day just because he said a word of love; I would feel sad all night because he missed you. In the early years, when I was a daughter at home, I thought that if I could stay with him forever, my whole life would be sweet. But later on, I cried a lot because of him. nose."

Tie Dan, who only knows how to wield a knife and a stick, has absolutely no resistance to a bookish woman like A Yu, because Tie Dan feels that a smart and beautiful woman like A Yu should be able to handle everything without any worries. Things are right.

But now listening to Ayu say this, I know that she is also worried about gain and loss because of love, and her mood is up and down.

"Mrs. Chen, can I call you Ayu?"

"It's natural to shout."

"Then Ayu, can you tell me about what happened between you and him?"

Tie Dan looked straight at A Yu, his baby face full of expectation.

Ayu hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said to the maid waiting outside the door: "Go get two pots of good wine."

"."

Hearing this, Tie Dan said rather embarrassedly: "Ayu, I'm not good at drinking. I'll get drunk after just a little bit."

"Haha, it just so happens that I'm not good at drinking either, so you and I are matched!"

What happened between Ayu and her uncle in the early years was a bit disgraceful after all, and Ayu might not be able to talk about it if she didn't have some wine.

The saying that chess meets an opponent is absolutely true. The two of them only had three or five drinks together, and their faces were already flushed, reflecting each other's beauty.

In Tiedan's slightly confused but full of expectant eyes, Ayu finally said shyly: "Back then, when Zheng Yi was messing with Tongshan, my brother and I sneaked out of the city, but we got separated from him again.
It was too late, but it was soon. I thought I was about to be buried here, but I saw a man in black robes and red horses, clad in moonlight, rushing out of the darkness."

Maybe it's because Tiedan is simple enough, or maybe it's because Ayu, who is already thoughtful, hasn't talked to anyone for a long time.

In short, the causes and consequences of those events back then, and even her psychological activities, were all told to Tie Dan in full.

"Since that time, I often dreamed about my uncle, but I was engaged at that time. It wasn't until the day before my mother took me back home that I made up my mind! I took a bullock cart and secretly ran away to Caizhou. .

It happened to be that my uncle happened to go to Qingpu Garden that night. At first, I was too scared to say anything, but then I thought, I could just take this opportunity to rely on my uncle. So, I held it in and said nothing, and my uncle regarded me as Yunong. He always has a way to solve problems that I can’t solve anyway, hahaha."

After many years, Ayu and Chen Chu's children are now over two years old, and their mood is naturally very different from before.

Now when talking about that life-long gamble, under the influence of alcohol, Ayu not only did not feel shy, but also felt a little proud.

"No wonder Sister Cai scolded you little green tea!"

Tie Dan, who learned the inside story for the first time, also blurted out the words under the influence of alcohol, and then realized that 'Little Green Tea' was right in front of him!

Tie Dan quickly and clumsily responded: "Ayu, you are so courageous."

Ayu drank a glass of wine by herself and didn't care about Tie Dan's gaffe. She just said lightly: "You can scold me. Compared with the ebb and flow and the scenery of the world that I have seen with my uncle over the years, I was so surprised." It doesn’t matter if she curses a few times.”

Tie Dan didn't know what to say. Because she was close to Sister Cai, she probably knew that there was some overt and covert fighting between Sister Cai and A-Yu, but after meeting her today, Tie Dan felt that A-Yu wasn't that bad after all.

Even though she used some small tricks, she didn't harm anyone after all.

As if she had guessed what Tie Dan was thinking, the drunken Ayu leaned on the table with her elbows, playing with the wine cup with her slender fingers, and pointed out: "In this world, it is not easy for men, and it is also not easy for women. In a lifetime, I can How many times do I have to make the decision? Did I just miss it and spend the rest of my life trapped in another house, feeling depressed and sighing, regretting that I didn’t dare to fight for myself? That’s why the stupid sister Cai is smart and decisive and dares to make the decision for herself. I can not?"

Tiedan seemed to understand, but not completely.

May 26th, at night.

In Lulong County, Haizhou, Nanjing Road, Jin Kingdom, against the faint starlight, dozens of horse boats were docked on the dark sea.

Shi Wulang, the deputy commander of the naval force in charge of this crossing, walked to a high slope and reported: "Your Majesty, the wind direction and current are favorable. Our army is fully prepared and can board the ship."

"Ah."

Chen Chu nodded, and the soldiers who had already lined up on the shore boarded the ship in an orderly manner.

More than half an hour later, most of the soldiers had boarded the ship. Wu Kui and others standing next to Chen Chu took turns clasping their fists and saying goodbye to Chen Chu. The latter had some encouragement of his own.

When it was Tie Dan's turn, he just said: "I'm leaving, don't worry."

However, Chen Chu took a wooden box from Xiao Yi and handed it over, "This is a short musket just developed by the Ordnance Institute. You can carry it with you and use it when you are in danger. Brother Kui knows how to use it. When he gets on the boat, He's here to teach you."

Wu Kui on the side seemed to be trying to break up the tense atmosphere before the battle, and immediately said with a smile: "Brother Chu, don't worry, I'm here, I promise to give you a full beard and full shadow."

Seeing off Zhe Yanwen, Feng Shuangyuan and others all burst out with a burst of good-natured laughter.

Tie Dan had originally prepared something to say to Chen Chu, but he was surrounded by rough guys who spoke freely. Tie Dan tried to regain his courage several times, but in the end he was too embarrassed to open his mouth.

"Your Majesty, if you stay, you will be victorious!"

Wu Kui gave the generals a final salute and then strode towards the coast.

Tiedan, who was standing in the crowd, had no choice but to follow the others, but before turning around, he couldn't help but cast a glance at Chen Chu, which seemed to speak a thousand words.

Everyone walked thirty or forty steps when they suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Tie Dan, don't just think about charging into the battle, be careful."

Everyone knew without guessing that this was Brother Chu's voice. They couldn't help but turn around at the same time, only to see Chen Chu standing as steady as a mountain next to the swaying torch. However, this shout still accidentally revealed a trace of the secret that he tried to hide. Concerned.

After all, he is the commander-in-chief of an army, and he should not be in love with mother-in-law and mother-in-law when parting.

Wu Kui and others all looked at Tie Dan. Tie Dan, who was not used to being paid attention to, lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

But then, the words Ayu said to her the night before sounded in her mind: "I regret that I didn't dare to fight for myself. That was stupid!" '

In a thought, Tie Dan suddenly turned around and ran back.

The distance of dozens of steps was reached in an instant.

Normally, after running so many dozens of steps, she would never be too tired, but at this moment she blushed.

In the swaying firelight, Tie Dan stared straight at Chen Chu, almost using up all the courage in his life, and whispered: "Brother Chu, don't worry about me, I will conquer the world for you! When I return, you can marry me I'll go home, okay?" (End of Chapter)
