Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 155 Zhu Shuzhen

Qiu Sangou glanced at the Song Dynasty general who was said to have led his army to surrender. His name was Liu Sichu, and Qiu Sangou felt that his name should be attached to him.

General Liu also said that he was a descendant of the King of Han, and although he was older, he was a nephew in terms of seniority.

Therefore, he would shyly call "uncle" in private.

However, Qiu Sangou's attention was quickly attracted by the discussions of several craftsmen nearby. They said that an official in Yingzhou ran away too fast and left his family behind. It was said that the official's wife was from Zhejiang and was very young. Eighteen is as beautiful as a flower, not to mention how gentle and pleasant she is. It is said that she is also known as a talented girl in her boudoir.

But in the eyes of the Qiu Ba people, this "madam" is really not worthy of mentioning on the stage.

Although the king of Han's first wife was just a commoner woman, his concubines were originally princesses, princesses, or even noble concubines of the Xia Kingdom.

Han Fang walked among the soldiers, looking around silently. From time to time, he told the clerk next to him some precautions. After walking out of the crowd, he asked in a low voice: "Where did that woman come from?"

The official replied: "Marquis Yun had nothing to do. He ran around out of the city. He happened to stop the family of a Song official on the way. The Song man escaped on his own. Marquis Yun saw that the woman was beautiful, so he sent her back. , it is said that the king is very interested in it."

"This General Liang, tsk."

Han Fang shook his head, handed the book he had recorded in his hand to the clerk, gave a few instructions, then turned and walked towards the handsome account.

As the King of Han, he can marry as many as he wants. Even after hearing that the King of Han knew that he wanted a woman, Han Fang was even a little relieved, because with the already born Crown Prince and the unborn child in Cao's belly, the King of Han now Just two children.

The heirs are few.

But now that the army is fighting abroad, as the commander of an army, many things should be put aside. You are heading south with 30,000 troops and tens of thousands of lives in your hands. How can you indulge in women? !

So Han Fang rarely showed dissatisfaction when he came in, but after seeing the scene inside, Han Fang was stunned for a moment.

In his conjecture, the King of Han was probably hugging the beauty happily, but at this moment, one of them was sitting on it, and the other was kneeling next to her, both holding pens in their hands and writing.

The woman had a very young appearance, wearing a pink dress with a white lining. People outside said she was eighteen years old, but Han Fang estimated that she might be a little younger.

"I heard that today's official handwriting is original. Can you write it?"

"Folk girls can give it a try."

The woman's hand is thin, like a branch wrapped in snow, with long and distinct fingers. When she presses the brush hard, people can't help but stare at her hand, and then they have time to appreciate Juan's beautiful handwriting.

The handwriting she wrote cannot be said to be completely thin gold, but it also has a certain artistic conception. After all, the handwriting can only be written by a woman.

"Mrs. Zhu writes well. It's a pity that although your husband is newly married to you, he doesn't feel sorry for you at all."

Zhu lowered her head and listened silently to the words of King Han next to her.

When she was kidnapped, she knew that with her appearance, living in a military camp would not end well.

It was just beyond her expectation. She had really thought that the so-called King of Han of Yan was really a murderous and ugly warrior. She did not expect that although his eyebrows were sharp, he had a heroic appearance and spoke to her in fluent Chinese. His words and demeanor are elegant.

While talking to him, Mrs. Zhu slowly let go of her guard, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can the king be lenient and let the slave go?"

Liu Ling said calmly: "What is your maiden name?"

"This slave's surname is Zhu. He is from Zhejiang. He married a good man from his hometown. Because of the imperial dispatch, his husband had to come to Hebei to serve as an official, so he is here today. His maiden name is Shuzhen."

Zhu Shuzhen looked at King Han with some hope. At least in her conversation with him for half an hour just now, she believed that he was not the unreasonable and unreasonable soldier leader as rumored.

"Please, Your Majesty, be more open-minded. Your parents will also be grateful to Your Majesty."

"Follow me first."

Liu Ling said lightly. Zhu Shuzhen's thoughts were cut off with one sentence. She lowered her head and her face suddenly turned pale.

Although her relationship with her husband was very reluctant, and the latter did not hesitate to leave her behind when she ran away. Her parents had always taught her to be a woman, but now that she has fallen to this point, she has become an immoral woman.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel confused.

Zhu Shuzhen occasionally heard that there were prostitutes in military camps. Those stinky and sweaty Qiu Ba in the military camp, and the scornful King of Han in the commander's tent. If these are the only two options left, it is naturally a good choice.

But if it was the man in front of me, it seemed that he was trying to get ahead of himself?

"Gongmei, what's the matter?"

Liu Ling had already seen Han Fang with a strange look on his face and motioned for him to sit down and talk.

"My lord, meet the king!"

"How's the money and food issue going?"

"In addition to the storage in the treasury of each state, the virtuous gentry in each state actively donated their property to show their respect. The rewards for the entire army were distributed last night. Everyone in the army is grateful for the king's kindness."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, go and have a rest."

"Here."

Han Fang stood up and bowed to salute. He didn't realize until he left the commander's tent that he didn't seem to have remonstrated yet.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later.

The affairs in the army were complicated. Although the King of Han had to read a lot of military documents and battle reports every day, many of them had been annotated by Han Fang. There was only a moment of rest from morning to night, and the 30,000-strong army was mobilized in many places, as well as summarizing various reports. All news will be delivered to him first.

The new Kang Gongbi was also gradually sharing some tasks, but Han Fang was always worried that he would not be able to do well, so he always tried to do as much as possible.

The days passed like pages of documents. The original intention of Liu Ling's attack was to force the Song Dynasty to hold peace talks and restore the annual gift. However, more than ten days passed, and people in the north began to send messages saying that Tong Guan Part of the army has begun to return for reinforcements, but there is still no news from the Song Dynasty court.

In the afternoon, the handsome tent was as stuffy as a steamer. Zhu Shuzhen was sweating from the hot scent, but she still fanned Liu Ling with a fan beside her. When she noticed that King Han's eyes moved to her, she couldn't help but lower her head and bite it. Lips.

"Go for a walk with me."

"Yes."

She agreed in a low voice, stood up, and followed him with a round fan.

Although the weather was hot, when the King of Han appeared, the soldiers still showed great enthusiasm. Liu Ling got on his horse and stretched out his hand to Zhu Shuzhen.

"Take you outside the city to enjoy the breeze."

Zhu Shuzhen timidly stretched out her hand, and Liu Ling used his skill to pull her onto the horse's back. He then taught her to lift her legs and straddle the white horse's back, allowing her to sit firmly in his arms.

She felt the man behind her hug her tightly, and the man's breath came over her overwhelmingly. She trembled all over for a moment, forgetting even the heat.

Just as he was about to ride a horse for a "ride" outside the city, Kang Gongbi came over to greet him and bowed to Liu Ling.

"Your Majesty, the sentry from the south came back and reported that the imperial court has sent a peace envoy, but it seems that there was an accident on the way."

No wonder.

Liu Ling suddenly realized that he thought the Song people were planning to lose with real swords and guns this time.

"What's the name of the peace envoy? What happened?"

"The peace envoy's name is Zongze, he"

"Okay, no need to say more, I know what happened. So where did this sect messenger stop?"

"In Jizhou, I heard that he was recruiting a large number of defeated soldiers. He was communicating with officials from all over the Hebei Road of the Song Dynasty and tried his best to persuade them to resist our army. The lower official suggested that if there is an opportunity, we can kill this person as soon as possible."

"Why is it so?" Liu Ling smiled, lowered his head and said something in Zhu Shuzhen's ear. The latter suddenly blushed and looked sideways at Liu Ling in disbelief. He showed the coquettishness of a girl and the intellectuality of a young woman at the same time. Temperament, and then, I didn't know whether I should refuse or agree, so I could only continue to blush.

"Mrs. Zhu's soft luggage is still in the camp, right? Take out a complete set of her clothes, including outerwear and underwear, sort them out, and send them to Zongze."
