If it were in the past, Xiao Jiang would never have thought too much. Ever since Ren Hongchang learned that Nandou Beidou and other so-called immortals secretly controlled the wars in the world, he had been very vigilant.
Even though Miss Du is only in her teens now, if she develops normally in the future, she will not be an ordinary person. Qin Yilu, Guan Yu, Cao Cao, these people are all related to her. If Xiao Jiang ignores her, then she will not care about her in the future. She has done a lot of things, but her assets are her beauty and a heart that allows her to be manipulated by other men.
Xiao Jiang doesn't know much about women's thoughts, but he still understands the saying that women's hearts are at the bottom of their minds, that is, never believe a woman's words, especially a beautiful woman.
This Miss Du wanted to be his concubine. Xiao Jiang was very resistant at first, but after thinking about something in his mind, he changed his decision. He smiled and clasped his fists at Du Heng and said:
"Thank you so much, Mr. Du. Xiao Jiang has to rush to Chang'an within a month as ordered by the emperor. Now he can only make Miss Du tired."
Du Heng said angrily:
"The general is responsible for the country, the country, and the emperor's kindness. It is the right thing to do. I believe that my daughter, the Du family, will never hold back."
Xiao Jiang saluted Du Heng. Although Du Heng was theoretically his father-in-law, it was not a formal ceremony. It was okay to receive one salute, but he would not dare to accept more than one.
Farewell to Tao Qian again, Xiao Jiang left Xuzhou with a beautiful woman. The Du family was a wealthy family. Not only did they give Xiao Jiang his daughter, they also gave him five million yuan, fifteen horses, three carriages and a box of gold. Silver jewelry, as well as thirty guards and five maids, this dowry is nothing more than a wedding for the heir apparent of a super noble family.
Xiao Jiang set out with such a large group of people. There were many bandits in Xuzhou, but no one really dared to rob the team with the Xiao flag. They left Xuzhou safely and headed north, traveling through mountains and ridges and spending the night in the morning. Miss Du's family and several maids, who rarely go out, were quite tired.
Xiao Jiang didn't think about getting out some shock-absorbing springs. He didn't even care if the horse only had one stirrup. He was practicing day and night while resting. Although Miss Du was already his concubine, he There is no attack on her now.
Having had the Lingyue sisters, Xiao Jiang no longer had any greed for the beauties of the Three Kingdoms. You must know that their faces were originally like the mink that Ren Hongchang wanted to use, and compared with them, they did not exist during the entire late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.
More than twenty days later, Xiao Jiang took the Holy Oracle and passed the pass guarded by the Xiliang Army. Along the way, the guards knew that it was Xiao Jiang who passed the pass. They were extremely polite. In this world where the strong are respected, Xiao Jiang's power It represents his status.
"Xuan...Xuzhou Cavalry Commander Xiao Jiang is here to see you."
Although the Chang'an Imperial Palace is not as grand as Luoyang, it is still considered solemn. The eunuch's sharp voice made Xiao Jiang, who was standing outside the palace, amused. He strode into the palace wearing a military officer's uniform and glanced at the little kid on the throne. In his heart While complaining, he knelt down and saluted:
"Foreign Minister Xiao Jiang has met Your Majesty."
Sitting on the throne is the current emperor Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie. This little emperor is very smart, but he has no real power from the time he came to the throne until his death. The fat Dong Zhuo sitting on his left is the person who controls him now.
Liu Xie glanced at Xiao Jiang, and then looked at Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo just looked at him coldly. Liu Xie's body trembled slightly in fright, then he suppressed his fear and said loudly:
"Xiao Qing's family invites you."
After Xiao Jiang got up, Liu Xie said:
"A few days ago, Grand Administrator Gongsun recommended Captain Xiao, saying that it was rare in the world for a Captain to possess both civil and military skills... Master Sikong Dong also recommended you to me, saying that you are a talented person in the world.
Today, the world is in chaos and the feudal lords are divided. It is difficult for the emperor to obey the imperial orders. The imperial court is in urgent need of talents like the Qing family to assist. After consultation with Lord Sikong, I decided to reuse the Qing family.
Xiao Jiang Tingfeng..."
Xiao Jiang rolled his eyes in his heart and had to kneel down. The eunuch beside him took out the imperial edict and read it loudly:
"Today, Xiao Jiang of Xuzhou has made outstanding contributions, his martial arts are unparalleled and he can overwhelm thousands of troops. The emperor's favor is so great that Xiao Jiang has been granted the title of Marquis of Qi, a city of thousands of households, and a general of the army. He leads three thousand forbidden troops to prepare outside the city. He is strictly prohibited from entering the city without the emperor's order. .”
Xiao Jiang was very surprised when he heard this. You must know that Lu Bu is only a Zhonglang general. Although he is equivalent to the highest anti-counterfeiting general in the capital, there is still a difference between him and Xiao Jiang, a second-rank general in the army.
At this time, Dong Zhuo controlled the imperial power, and there were no generals, hussar generals, etc. appointed. Xiao Jiang, the general of the upper army, could command all the troops. He was much more authentic than the self-proclaimed generals of the coalition forces.
Although he only had three thousand soldiers and horses, they were outside the imperial city. Xiao Jiang vaguely guessed that this was Dong Zhuo's deliberate arrangement.
With 100,000 Xiliang troops stationed inside and outside Chang'an, Xiao Jiang's small number of men and horses could not make waves. Before Xiao Jiang accepted the order, Dong Zhuo on the side coughed and said loudly:
"General Xiao, the emperor's kindness is so great. You must handle your affairs seriously and don't wait for me to be disappointed."
Xiao Jiang wanted to win the reputation of Dong Zhuo's alliance. Now that he was summoned to Chang'an by the emperor's order, that did not mean that he had to curry favor with Dong Zhuo. After receiving the imperial edict, he stood up. An eunuch had already prepared Xiao Jiang's full set of official uniforms, seals, ribbons, etc. Well, he glanced at the officials in the hall and walked out of the palace with his things in his arms. Not long after, he found his military camp.
There is a small river ten miles south of the city. The three thousand infantry are not old and weak soldiers, but the military camp has broken weapons and old weapons. After a little inquiry, I found out that these three thousand soldiers were all the former Imperial City Forbidden Army, because Dong Zhuo was worried about being accidentally transferred to this secluded place.
Xiao Jiang didn't think so either. He was just a gangster when he arrived in Chang'an. After taking over the military camp, he asked his guards to take people to the city to buy food and supplies, and bought a house next to the military camp to live temporarily.
After the house was tidied up, Xiao Jiang returned to the room after the maid helped him wash up. Looking at Miss Du who was ready to sit by the bed, he stepped forward and hugged her and smiled:
"Madam, it's been a hard journey. I wonder why madam chose me?"
Miss Du blinked her eyes and said:
"General, my teacher taught me that no matter who I marry, as long as I am obedient and well-behaved, my father said that you are a hero of the world. Even though I am a concubine, it is fate. General... It is late at night, so let me serve you. …”
…
In the middle of the night, Xiao Jiang looked at the sleeping girl thoughtfully. This Miss Du had no name, only the nickname Xing'er. She was very simple and very obedient. Xiao Jiang had to wonder who her teacher was.
The possibility of Nandou is very high, but Xing'er doesn't practice martial arts. She relies purely on beauty and obedience to capture men. In other words, if this is Xiao Jiang's fault, she can immediately follow other men without any hesitation or shame.
Of course Xiao Jiang can't have much trust in this kind of woman, but being a concubine is still very good. As long as he doesn't die, this woman will be very chaste. This is her way to save her life. As for what love is, a woman with this kind of thinking Is it possible?
