stern wife

Chapter 19

After returning to Pei Runzhi's courtyard, Pei Xiaoran saw that the two elder brothers were playing chess, so he didn't bother him, and sat on the side alone, holding a cup of tea to sip.

Tasting and tasting, my thoughts gradually drifted away.

In a new life, she has many people to protect and more things to do, but... her body is only six years old.

Who can a six-year-old girl protect?What else can it do?
"Brother," Pei Xiaoran put down the teacup, and said to Pei Runzhi who was seriously thinking about his next move:

"After the Chinese New Year is over, my elder brother will help me go to the camp in the northern suburbs outside Beijing and pick some people out. I want to use them."

The two elder brothers looked at each other in surprise, Pei Runzhi asked:

"How many people do you want? What do you want them to do?"

Pei Xiaoran thought for a while, and said:

"A dozen or so is enough. Don't be too old. From now on, I will train|teach them and be my confidantes. When I grow up, I will let them be my personal soldiers."

Older people have mature minds and are not easy to subdue. If they are young, they can still have the affection of growing up together, and they will definitely be more loyal than the older ones.

Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan looked at each other, and they put down the chess pieces at the same time, and they had no intention of continuing the game, and looked at the little thing in front of them together.

This younger sister is really small and ambitious.

Pei Runzhi wasn't too surprised why his younger sister would say such mature words. Pei Xingshan had soldiers around him, so it's not surprising that she knew what a soldier was, but...

"You... really decided to go to the battlefield when you grow up?"

Pei Xiaoran nodded resolutely, and said: "Yes. Could it be that my brother looks down on me? If I think I'm a girl, why not?"

Pei Runzhi smiled wryly: "How could I look down on you? It's just... the sword has no eyes, the battle is unpredictable, the march is hard, the conditions for the garrison are even more difficult, and it will last forever... You, you have to think about it."

Of course Pei Xiaoran knew all of this, because she had experienced it all in her last life.

But if she has no power in her hands, what should she use to find out the murderer who killed her family behind the scenes, and smash him into thousands of pieces?

Pei Xiaoran stood up, walked up to Pei Runzhi, took his hand and shook it gently, saying coquettishly:
"Big brother, don't worry, isn't there still big brother protecting me? Besides, this is also my destiny. Since God destined me to keep one side peaceful, if I go against the sky, I might bring disaster back."

Her words made the two elder brothers fall into deep thought.

That's right, it is indeed 'destined' for Pei Xiaoran to be stationed at the frontier in the future, otherwise, Pei Runzhi would just take what she said as childish nonsense, how could she take it seriously?
After all, Suzaku has never had a woman take up an official position, let alone a general or marshal who leads the army in battle.

However, Pei Xiaoran was different from other women.

That year, Pei Runzhi was only 11 years old, and he and his eight-year-old third brother Pei Yuxuan waited outside the door for the birth of a new life.

When the crying of the baby was heard in the room, a purple cloud and mist came from the sky, covering the whole Pei Mansion, giving the people in the mansion the illusion of being in the cloud.

This strange scene attracted a lot of people to watch. Among these people, several people who looked like Taoist priests asked the guards of the Pei mansion if there was a baby born in the mansion, and asserted that the child was born with purple energy coming from the east, and he was destined to die. Extraordinary will bring good luck to the whole Suzaku.

The news spread into the palace somehow, and Suzaku's emperor, Long Yan, was delighted. He immediately ordered the people from the Qin Tianjian to check, and took back the birth date for divination. He even watched the astrology that night.

In the end, as those Taoist fortune-tellers said, this son has an extraordinary fate, and he has a general in his life. In the future, he will be a pillar of the family and country, and will keep Suzaku safe. As long as this son is here, at least Suzaku can be saved The year is not turbulent.

Unfortunately, what Wu gave birth to was not a son, but a daughter.

But since he can help him guard this great river and mountain, what about his daughter?Immediately, the emperor personally named this girl 'Xiao', and selected several top palace masters in advance to prepare this girl as martial artists.

It's just that the word 'owl' is too murderous. It is not only a kind of bird, but also a punishment of cutting off the head and hanging it on a tree. It is called 'showing the head of an owl'.

Therefore, Qin Tianjian is now speaking, in order to prevent this girl's life from being too murderous and reflect back on her own life, it is better to add a word "ran" after the word 'xiao' to dissolve it.

The emperor agreed, and Pei Xiaoran's name came from this.

Because of this, even though Pei Xiaoran is a girl, she has practiced martial arts with several great masters since she was three years old. What she usually reads is not poetry and songs, but the art of war.

The emperor also said that he allowed her to freely enter and leave the military camp without a badge, which shows his love and cultivation for her.

But to be honest, neither the Wu family nor the brothers Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan wanted Pei Xiaoran to be a pillar of the country.

They only hope that she can grow up safely, find a reliable person to marry, have a bunch of lovely babies, and live a happy life.

Instead of fighting for your life on the battlefield.

Pei Runzhi held his sister's little hand with his backhand and squeezed it. The little hand was very soft, but because he used to hold knives, guns and sticks on weekdays, his soft palm was rough and rough, and it hurt to the touch.

Pei Runzhi's heart trembled, and he said in a deep voice:
"I will help you choose the person you want. As for your ambition to serve the country...let's talk about it when you grow up."

Pei Xiaoran understood what the two elder brothers were worried about, nodded and smiled reassuringly.

Morning the next day.

The resplendent hall is propped up by four thick golden pillars, on which there are birds soaring into the sky. The bodies of the birds are painted with scarlet paint, their wings are outstretched, their beaks are sharp, and they are lifelike, as if they can hear When it rushed to the Nine Heavens, there was a distant cry.

Between the four golden pillars, there stood Suzaku's civil and military officials, all of them bowed their heads and looked down, very respectful.

On the top of the main hall, sits the king of the entire Suzaku—the No. 16 Chidi Chixuandi.

Emperor Chixuan was in his prime, dressed in a red robe, full of energy, eyes like lightning, and extraordinary in martial arts.

At this moment, he was smiling teasingly at the corner of his mouth, bent slightly, and asked slowly to the little eunuch kneeling in front of the steps:

"What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly, please say it again."

The little eunuch who was in charge of delivering the message was so frightened that he trembled and said:
"Slave, slave complies with the decree. Qi, Qi to report to His Majesty, someone from outside reported that it was, that it was King Li of the Great Yin, whose chariot had driven into Zhijing, and would arrive in a few days... and, and sent a message Said, so that His Majesty does not have to lead all civil and military officials to greet him, it is to blame for the trouble..."

The blue veins on the forehead of Emperor Chixuan bulged slightly, and he grabbed the crested armrest on the seat with one hand. Fortunately, the seat was made of pure gold, otherwise a piece would have to be forcibly broken off.
