Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 659
For several days in a row, Jug Tu and Cheng Rong strictly restrained the army, not allowed to enter the houses, and provided large-scale relief to the victims, so that the refugees around Anyang came back one after another, and settled down.

"Marshal, Qihou's troops violated the rules and robbed the mansion of General Song Rui, the subordinate of King Song. This obviously violated the military law. However, Zhou Ji, a close minister next to the king, took the lead in making trouble. This general will not dare to bring him to justice. Please, Marshal. Show me!" At this time, Qin Hou, who was furious, stayed and came to the camp of Qutu, complaining with grievances on his face.

"Qin Houye, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Although Zhou Ji robbed the mansion of a thief general, but he acted without authorization, it is still a violation of military law and should be dealt with." Jue Tu looked at An Tong beside him, and replied decisively.

"However, although I am the Marquis of Qin, my status is too different from that of the Marquis of Qi, so I cannot control Zhou Ji, so I ask the Marshal to be the master!" Qin Hou clasped his hands angrily.

"An Tong, let's go!" Qu Tu, with a fearless face, brought An Tong and Qin Hou Yizheng to the mansion left by Song Rui without saying a word.

What I saw head-on was the arrogant Zhou Ji leading his subordinates happily carrying large sums of gold and silver boxes.

"My lord Zhou Ji, there is a saying in the military law that all the prisoners captured on the battlefield must be returned to the public and should not be snatched without authorization. As an important minister, don't you know that?" Qu Tu stared at Zhou Ji coldly and blurted out.

Zhou Ji looked at Qutu with disdain, cupped his hands and said, "My Grand Marshal, we are the nephew of your father-in-law Qihou, we are actually a family, why should we be serious about some spoils of war?"

"Whoever it is, the military law is ruthless, Zhou Ji, your post has been dismissed, immediately go back to Shuilongguan to plead guilty to the king, and all the spoils will be handed over to the public!" Jue Tu declared expressionlessly.

"Okay, Que Tu, you have the guts. If that's the case, then I'll take my leave!" Zhou Ji endured his dissatisfaction, cupped his hands at Que Tu, and ran away with his subordinates.

"Ju Tu, you have caused a catastrophe. Zhou Ji is a close minister of the king. You have offended him. In the future, when you are by the king's side, you will encounter obstacles everywhere!" After seeing Zhou Ji, he immediately exclaimed again and again.

"Master Cheng, you are just. Why should you be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door? Besides, military discipline is so important now. If you don't punish violators, how can you make an example of others?" Jue Tu looked at Cheng Rong with a smile.

It has been more than a month since Kuang Tu and Cheng Rong went out to hunt for thieves at Shuilongguan, good news came every day, but there were also some bad news, which gradually fell into the ears of Chuxiu.

On this day, Chuxiu suddenly became interested, went for a walk in the imperial garden, happened to take Empress Axi to admire the flowers, but on the way, he heard the little eunuchs whispering and discussing.

"Hey! You are not doing your business, who are you talking about?" the fast-talking Axi asked with interest as he straightened the gold and silver hairpins and flower ornaments on Yun's temples.

When the little eunuchs saw that the king and the queen were approaching, they were so frightened that they knelt down and trembled.

"Quickly, what are you talking about? So preoccupied?" Chuxiu asked with a straight face.

"My lord, the servants are talking about the Marshal Diggu who is out in the field, conniving at the soldiers to do evil, and even arbitrarily doing things to drive away Lord Zhou. Now these words have been spread all over the water, and the servants have only heard of it. A little bit." A bold eunuch hurriedly reported.

"Kudu?" Chuxiu lowered his face and gradually turned his back.

"Your Majesty, this is just a theory, and some people say that the reason why Marshal Jue Tu got the position of Marshal is actually because of the relationship with the Empress Dowager Ping!" The little eunuch continued to kowtow.

"Talking! You're looking for death! These dirty, nonsense gossips dare to talk in front of His Majesty, so get out!" Chuxiu hadn't expressed his position yet, but Ah Xi beside him became angry and shouted back. Help the little eunuch.

"Axi, how could this be? Jugtu has a heavy responsibility, so he is so confused, and he is a disaster? Someone in the court impeached him, but I still don't believe it, but he is even a dog slave!" The angry Chuxiu watched helplessly. The serious Axi became surprised.

"Your Majesty, people's words are scary, and rumors are not credible at all. Maybe it was the rumors deliberately spread by Yunniang and King Song. What about slanderous words?" Axi stared at the eyebrows of the first repair, and softly comforted him.

"I don't doubt the employment, I just don't believe it, my vision can be wrong!" Chuxiu thought for a while, and suddenly smiled at Ah Xi comfortably.

Jianjia Palace, it was already noon, Axi came to accompany Baosi to have a meal as agreed, Baosi looked very good recently, but she was still frowning, depressed, when she heard Axi talk about the excavation, suddenly Concentrate: "Ah Xi, I also heard that recently there are rumors in Shuilongguan that the excavation of the army is a disaster. I don't know where the king is, do you still believe in the excavation?"

Axi smiled and said: "Young master's news is really well-informed, but Axi advises you to rest assured, the king has already stated his position, saying that he has no doubts about employing people."

"But the front line changes every day, I'm worried that Jug Tu will be disturbed by gossip and become irrational!" Bao Si frowned.

"Young master is worrying too much. Young master Dietu is a general, so how could he get confused? However, Axi wanted to remind young master that recently someone has been secretly spreading rumors, slandering young master and young master Dietu. Don't worry about it. Don't hit the gun!" Axi turned his eyes and lowered his voice.

"Axi, I won't be afraid, not only that, I also want you to send a message to Jutu, asking him to find a way to set up a big circle around Haojing, control the entry and exit of Haojing's soldiers and horses, and then lure Xirong's cavalry took advantage of the fire to loot and came to attack, this is called encirclement and reinforcements in the art of war!" Bao Si smiled at A Xi.

"Well, little master, don't worry!" Axi nodded happily.

On the front line of Anyang, under the moonlight, a woman wearing a purple cloak suddenly came to Qutu's camp. Qutu looked through the bonfire very strangely, carefully sizing up the beautiful woman in front of her.

The woman meekly removed the cloak and cloak on her bun, revealing her true face, and Jug Tu recognized at a glance that she was Xinyue.
