Wu Jin turned around and asked Qi Chang to pour the hot water. At the same time, he reached out and rubbed his temples. When the hot water came, he stood up, twisted a handkerchief, handed it to Cheng Ting, and asked him to wipe his face carefully.
Cheng Ting washed his face, his eyes were swollen into slits.
Wu Jin took the veil away and said, "Take off your coat."
Cheng Ting took off his double-breasted gown as he said, and then he realized that he was sweating all over from crying. He sniffed and said, "Wu Jin, I think Liang Feng is right."
Wu Jin handed Qi Chang his coat to hang up and applied medicine to him: "In what capacity are you doing this?"
"I——" Cheng Ting was speechless.
Wu Jin continued: "Your eldest sister is a good friend of Miss Xu, but you are not. You rush to Huzhou to stand up for her and kill Master Ding for her. For her, it is not a help in the time of need, but to add insult to injury. Once any clue is left, Just giving and receiving in private is enough for outsiders to force her to be killed."
"Leifeng does things without leaving any traces."
"Even if she is clean and tidy, what will happen after Miss Xu becomes a widow? Will she remain a widow in the Ding family or return to her natal family to remarry? Will Mrs. Xu be willing to let her remarry? If she is forced to stay in the Ding family, she is young and has no heirs. The road ahead will be difficult, so how are you going to help her get out of her misery?"
Wu Jin's series of questions made Cheng Ting dizzy and speechless for a moment - he had never thought about these things.
Subconsciously, he mistook Xu Huiran for Mo Lingfeng, but he forgot that they were not walking the same road at all.
He felt Wu Jin's hand wiping the back of his neck, one after another, methodical and powerful, a hand that could be trusted and relied on.
"Wu Jin," he grabbed Wu Jin's wrist backwards, "I can't stand idly by."
When he thought of Xu Huiran's situation, he felt chilled, and even Mrs. Xu's face became ferocious.
Wu Jin patted his paws away, applied medicine to him, walked to the washing rack and washed her hands, picked up the white towel with her right hand, and wiped the fingers of her left hand clean one by one: "Let her have the right to choose. "
He changed the handkerchief to one hand and wiped his right hand in the same way. He walked back to the table and sat down, turning his gaze out the window.
There is wind and rain outside from time to time. The babbler hides in the canopy of the trees and occasionally makes a low cry.
Mo Lingfeng stood under the canopy of the tree, looking down at the roster that Yin Nan had brought back.
He withdrew his gaze: "We must seize the leverage of the Ding family, not just for a small fight, but enough to make Mrs. Xu and the Ding family compromise. Only in this way can Miss Xu have a choice."
Cheng Ting frowned: "But they are too far apart, how can we find evidence against them?"
"You can start arresting Mrs. Xu, and then send a letter to Huzhou, asking Miss Xu to keep an eye on her, but don't leave any traces."
Cheng Ting frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly stood up, his eyes bright: "I have a friend who told me about Mrs. Xu's business outside!"
He walked to the screen, took off the coat that had been torn by Magistrate Cheng and put it on, and hurried out: "I'm going to my eldest brother-in-law's house right now and asking my eldest sister to write a letter."
When he reached the door, he turned back, picked up his big package, and left Jiusixuan again.
Wu Jin stood up and stood with his hands behind his back facing the window.
Outside the window, Mo Lingfeng stood under the shadow of the trees. The drizzle fell on her hair, which glowed with a deep and cold light under the sky. Cheng Ting shouted to her, and then ran away. Mo Lingfeng Feng glanced at him, then turned to look at the window. After seeing Wu Jin's gaze, he smiled brightly.
Wu Jin's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that her eyes were like phoenixes spreading their wings. Suddenly the wind stopped and the rain stopped, the spring light suddenly dimmed, and only Mo Lingfeng's dark eyes remained in front of her eyes.
Soon, his heart returned to its original position little by little. The wind and rain remained the same. Mo Lingfeng returned to the flower hall and sat down. He patted the tiny water droplets on his hair and said, "Have you given Cheng San an idea?"
"Yes, I asked him to find excuses for the Ding family. How are your soldiers recruiting?"
"I sent someone to secretly recruit people in the countryside."
Her army of women is known to everyone in the world. It is not only a weapon in her hand, but also a cover.
No one knows that Nomad Qing and Yin Nan are recruiting soldiers and horses in the fields and countryside - what she wants to recruit is strong laborers, regardless of gender, who work in the countryside.
Only strong laborers can fight wars, and only those from the countryside can obey orders. If they are literate, that would be even better.
Last year, two crops were not harvested, and countless tenant farmers in counties and townships were displaced. It was the time to recruit troops.
"How's it going?"
"Very good, these people will be elite soldiers in the future," Mo Lingfeng suddenly smiled, "Zhong Jiaqing has a grandson who also wants to join the army, but he refuses to follow Zhong Jiaqing. He wants to come to my military camp and bring Zhong Jiaqing to my army. His nose was so angry that he was crooked."
"Oh?" Wu Jin put his two elbows on the table, crossed his fingers on his chin, and smiled half-heartedly, "The descendants of General Zhong must also be among the best, right?"
"Zhong Tao? He is not my opponent yet."
"Have you ever sparred?"
"When I first entered the fort, he beat me a lot, and then he couldn't beat me anymore. If he wants to come, I don't necessarily want him. It's for General Zhong's sake."
"General Zhong is also a famous general. Instead of following his grandfather, he wants to follow you. He must think that the army you command is superior."
"That's not true. He wants me to marry him."
Wu Jin was speechless for a moment, but fortunately he didn't drink tea, otherwise he would have spit out a mouthful of water. The word "Zhong Tao" was deeply engraved in his heart. He stopped asking any more questions and said, "Where's your xun? Play a tune and I'll listen." .”
Mo Lingfeng immediately became interested, took out the xun he brought with him, and started blowing it.
After she finished blowing, she asked Wu Jin: "How was it?"
Wu Jin nodded: "Okay."
Mo Lingfeng held back his laughter: "Then I'll play it to you tomorrow."
Wu Jin nodded readily: "Okay."
The next day, Wu Jin came to listen to her playing the xun again. After listening to it, he went to Shanye Residence to look at the account books. Mo Lingfeng stayed with Mo Qianlan in the second hall and did not go out. The house was quiet until Feng Fan came in the afternoon. .
Feng Fan rushed in full of anger and wanted to question Mo Yefeng if he planned to rebel!
Now there are only 18,000 soldiers left in the Zhenrong Army. Under the purge of the war, Zhong Jiaqing became the commander of the army and had jurisdiction over the entire fort. However, Mo Lingfeng, who held the actual position of being the head of the Women's Army, actually led the army. There were troops and horses accompanying them all the way—a total of five thousand people.
This group of military horses has its own military title, and is enshrined by the Mo family. The generals in the fortress are all aware of it, but now that there are frequent wars and it is the time when people are important, they cannot move or dare to move.
Recruiting troops is imminent, and this time Zhong Jiaqing also intends to control Mo Lingfeng - the Zhenrong army is full, so he can naturally suppress Mo Lingfeng.
If Mo Lingfeng didn't suppress him, he would devour all the Zhenrong army. Wouldn't it be a battle where she wins when she says she wants to and loses when she says she wants to lose?
Zhong Jiaqing couldn't even send her a secret letter to the emperor - then the fortress would mutiny, and the golden captives would take advantage of the situation, which would ultimately be a pain to the country.
Furthermore, since Mo Lingfeng had become so powerful, they could not escape their involvement. Could the emperor spare them?
From the moment Mo Lingfeng entered the fortress, she had been surviving in a crack and fighting her way out of countless worries. When everyone wanted to deal with her again, they could no longer act rashly.
