Luokou, Young Marshal's Mansion, middle hall. After the banquet, Kou Zhong came to the door drunkenly and brought Xu Xingzhi to the door. Only then did he remember that he still didn't know who the envoy from the Li family was.
"Military advisor, who came here this time?" Xu Xingzhi said respectfully: "The third young lady of the Li family, Li Xiuning." Kou Zhong was startled, turned around and left.
"Hey, Marshal, Princess Xiuning has been waiting for you for a long time. Where are you going now?" Xu Xingzhi was very surprised.
"Take a bath. You go and talk to her first and drink a few cups of tea. I'll be there soon!" Kou Zhong's voice came from far away. It was obvious that he had returned to the backyard.
Xu Xingzhi: ...The word "色" has a knife on its head. This Li family is really unpredictable. Even a small messenger can directly hit their weak point.
A long while. Li Xiuning sat in the hall, holding a teacup in her bare hands, silent in thought. She was wearing a red dress, which was typical of a lady, but except for a wooden hairpin, there was no decoration at all.
What worries her is that this tea is a rare Longjing tea from the Song family and is generally not available to ordinary people. However, it was actually used to entertain guests in the Young Marshal's Mansion.
Has the Song family really decided to take over the world? Thinking of this, Xiuning's mind became increasingly heavy. What is the main reason why all the great clans in the world are so stable now?
That big mountain has always been there, and no one wants to, let alone dare to be the first, for fear of being used as a tool for others to establish authority.
"Xiu Ning, what a coincidence. Why do you think of me here? Are you here to see me?" Kou Zhong hurriedly entered the door, his hair still a little damp. When he saw the wooden hairpin on the girl's head, his expression condensed. , and my heart is even more satisfied.
Li Xiuning smiled: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you talk nonsense when we meet? I came here specially to see you. There is no coincidence."
"Looking for me? Sister Xiuning, you're not here to raise an army to accuse me, and then take me back to the Li family to behead me." Kou Zhong joked.
Li Xiuning couldn't help but smile, her eyebrows moved, and she looked up and down at the young man in front of her. What a big change.
In the past, Kou Zhong would only say hello and stutter when he saw him. Now, he is indescribably confident and domineering, and he is even more free and easy when facing him.
"What do you think?" Kou Zhong sat in the first place: "Let me tell you, Sister Xiuning must have missed me, so she came to see me!"
"Shameless!" Li Xiuning's pretty face turned slightly red, and she quickly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to calm down her shock. The people she communicated with and talked to were always young masters, romantic and metaphorical, but never as direct as Kou Zhong.
However, such a domineering confession still made her feel a little confused. As we all know, most girls’ families hope to have a strong supporter. What it means to be motivated, responsible, mature, steady and enterprising is actually four words: money and power.
After a moment of silence, Li Xiuning thought for a while and said: "Kou Zhong, I came here for two things. The first is: the winner is the king, the loser is Kou. I, Li, have lost to your young commander's army this time. I am convinced." . But can those soldiers you captured be returned to us? We can exchange them with money, food, and horses. The second and most important thing is, if possible, our Li family hopes to form an alliance with the Young Marshal's Army so that we can rely on each other. , and secondly, it is to ensure that the people in the two places can recuperate and no longer suffer from the war." Kou Zhong frowned.
"Sister Xiuning, you don't know something. According to the rules, if someone is captured by my young commander's army, those who are willing to submit are our soldiers. Those who are unwilling to submit have become slaves, and many of them have been rewarded by me to those who have made meritorious services. generals. If Li wants to take those people back, he has to talk to those generals one by one." The smile on Li Xiuning's pretty face gradually disappeared.
Does this mean that you are directly rejecting yourself? So love disappears, right?
"Sister Xiuning, I will give you a handwritten message later. You ask the housekeeper to negotiate with those people. As long as the price is enough, I believe they will respect me. Of course, you have to ask them about those soldiers who join my young marshal's army. Just go back to Li's family voluntarily." Seeing that his sweetheart's expression was wrong, Kou Zhong hurriedly explained.
Li Xiuning's expression softened slightly.
"Kou Zhong, you and I are close friends. I heard that Sister Yuzhi is visiting your place, and it seems that we are on good terms with each other. In this case, our two families should not be so tense. Xiuning came here this time to help us. A matter of family alliance."
"Form an alliance?" Kou Zhong thought thoughtfully, and then felt a little admired. This is the foundation of the aristocratic family. As long as it is for the benefit of the family, then even if someone spits in the face, if the leaders of the aristocratic family have interests, they can smile and wipe away the spit, or even praise the person for spitting well.
To be honest, he couldn't. He is a villain, and villains take revenge from morning to night.
"Yes, form an alliance!" Li Xiuning nodded: "To show our sincerity, we, the Tang Dynasty, specially selected a twenty-eight-year-old daughter of the Li family to marry you. She is handsome, intelligent, gentle and beautiful. And we can also promise that when the big Tang Dynasty comes, On the wedding day, I, the Li family, will give you a city in Changping County as a dowry to show our Li family’s sincerity. Kou Zhong, what should I do to the common people? Peace and friendship are the blessings of all people!" After hearing this, Kou Zhong did not comment. .
Peace? Only the weak can say these things. The strong want order, the order under which everyone is regulated.
"Sister Xiuning, you know what I'm thinking. What I've always wanted is you!" Kou Zhong stared deeply at the woman in front of him, his eyes full of naked desire.
"As long as you marry me, let alone a city, even if my young commander's army surrenders directly to your Li family!" The beggar gangster was born. From the first day he saw Li Xiuning, he secretly swore that if he could If you get this woman, you will have no regrets even if you die!
country? There is no such thing as beauty. Li Xiuning was startled, but she was certain in her heart. Kou Zhong is still the same as before, but as a man, he has no interest in the country?
Now that he is willing to surrender directly to the Li family, it can only explain one problem. The Song family did not intervene in the Young Marshal's army, otherwise he would have no right to surrender at all.
very good!
"Kou Zhong, what do you think of me? Yes, I have some affection for you, and our Li family has just terminated our engagement with the Chai family, but I am a human being, not a tool!" Kou Zhong was overjoyed: "Really, Sister Xiuning, have you terminated your engagement? That's great! Come on, let me show you something good!" After saying that, Kou Zhong stood up, pulled Li Xiuning out, turned left and right, and came to a place heavily protected.
Li Xiuning did not refuse and followed quietly throughout the process.
"Wow~" Kou Zhong opened the door and pointed to the huge sand table in the middle, feeling very proud.
"Look, Sister Xiuning!" Li Xiuning observed carefully and found that the sand table was very detailed, almost replicating the entire layout of a city inside and outside. The landscape, trees, wells, and a secret passage could all be clearly seen.
"It's really amazing work. What is this?" Kou Zhong put his hands behind his hands and smiled.
"Liangdu! Sister Xiuning, I know that you are a majestic princess of the Tang Dynasty and can't help it, so I decided to capture Liangdu as a betrothal gift and then go to the Li family to propose marriage in person!"
"Liang Du?" Li Xiuning's face flushed, and she raised her head and looked deeply at this man, her beautiful eyes as warm as water.
Proposing marriage in a majestic city is rare in ancient times. If this comes true, won't she leave her name in history?
In the future, she might still be the most beautiful woman in history. Although this man has not read many books and is a bit generous, he did not expect to have such sincere thoughts.
"Did you capture all the beams just when you wanted to? You will brag. And if you are not fully prepared, your loyal soldiers will suffer too many casualties, but you have to be careful that they will become disloyal." Li Xiuning said coquettishly.
Kou Zhongke became interested when talking about military affairs: "Haha, let me tell you..." The next day, they had breakfast.
Kou Zhong personally helped Xiuning onto the horse and quietly watched her leaving, feeling happy. It is the dream of most men to lie drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman and wake up to take over the world.
Like Zi Ling, his wife and children are like a drop in the ocean in this world, fleeting, how boring that would be.
Turning back to the house, Kou Zhong thought for a while, then turned and headed towards the small lake in the garden, preparing to feed and watch the fish.
When he had nothing in the past, if he saw fish, he would only think of one thing: how to eat it deliciously. But it was different now, with the powerful position in hand, he had a new hobby. He stood on the shore, holding some fish food in his hand, swaying it gently, and watching the fish fight and jump.
No matter how beautiful, strong, colorful, and graceful those carps are, they can only be at his mercy.
This fish food is like the power in his hand. He can give it to whomever he wants. If he wants it, he can, but he must make himself happy.
After a while, Koo Zhong walked to the lake, picked up the fish food that the maid had prepared long ago, picked up some and sprinkled it on the lake.
He knew that there were many fish waiting for food to arrive all the time. As long as he threw the bait, they would rush out in a short while.
After a while, Kou Zhong looked at the calm lake surface and fell into deep thought. Where is my fish? What about such a big fish that I have kept for such a long time?
...In the evening, the Young Marshal's Mansion, on the corner, on the grass.
"Hiccup!" Song Yuzhi looked imageless, lying on his back holding his belly, his clothes were disheveled, and his mouth was full of oil.
"You're full, you're full, Master Le, stop roasting. My body is already full of things you made!" Not far away, the little yellow cat couldn't catch any fish, so he got all the fish in the lake in anger. Caught it and grilled the fish vigorously.
The girl stretched out her little tongue and licked it. She obviously felt that this fish was the most delicious thing in the world, but she couldn't eat it anymore.
These fish are naturally the fish of the Young Marshal's Mansion. These guys didn't understand and took the bait themselves. In anger, the little yellow cat simply killed them all.
According to Buddhism, after reincarnation, people who have committed great sins will be reduced to beasts and livestock in the world, and become the primates of all things: human food, every reincarnation is a cleansing of sins.
So the little yellow cat was doing a great good deed. Of course, the carps didn't deny it, they just agreed. This is what you and I wish for.
Amitabha, good, good, good. It wasn't until late at night that the little yellow cat stopped chirping. It was obvious that at this moment, he had saved all the ignorant fish in the lake.
The last person and cat continued to lie on the lawn and let out a long breath. Feel comfortable! The crowing of frogs, the sound of water, the moonlight, and the evening breeze.
Song Yuzhi suddenly took off her long boots and thin white silk stockings, revealing a pair of delicate little feet. The cute toes were round and tender, and the insteps were as white as nephrite. Then she gently stretched them out in front of the little yellow cat.
"Well, I promised to play with your feet when my father kicked me out of the house." Song Yuzhi said softly. Little Yellow Cat:?
? ? Everyone in the world knows that this cat is a great martial arts master and a true cat gentleman. What do you mean?
ah? Are you kidding me, are you going to test my kitten on this? I tell you! I won't even touch it!
Song Yuzhi suddenly frowned: Hiss... be gentle, it's so itchy. Little Yellow Cat: ...It’s broken. Why do my paws and tongue have a mind of their own?
"What a strange feeling." Song Yuzhi's eyes began to rippling with water. I don't know when she started to have some hobbies that others seemed incomprehensible to.
"Meow meow!" [It's okay, it's not a big problem, bring that one over too. 】The little yellow cat has resigned himself to his fate. He is just an ordinary, weak and helpless kitten. How can he defeat the powerful cat claws and tongue.
Hey, people are in the world and can't help themselves. After playing for a while, Song Yuzhi looked around and whispered: "Master Le, should we leave?" As a grand master, she still has some conscience. With their appetite, if they don't leave, let alone this fish I'm afraid I can let Kou Zhong know what it means to be three feet high.
"Meow~" [Run away! 】
"Then where should we go next?" Song Yuzhi was a little embarrassed. With her appetite, she would probably not be welcome wherever she goes, which is a bit uncomfortable.
Of course, she doesn't have to eat it, but Le Ye is eating it, so why not give it to her?
"Meow meow!" [Looking at the news in Song's weekly newspaper, are the two factions of good and evil and people from all walks of life gathered near Jingnian Temple in Luoyang, fighting for the world's most precious treasures and jade?
When there are more people here, there must be someone who is careless and accidentally loses money or treasures. Let's go pick up some things and sell them for money so we can eat!
】The little yellow cat came up with a good idea. As we all know, the little yellow cat will never bully others or bully others with its power.
But it wouldn't be immoral if these people picked up what they didn't want, right? Song Yuzhi was thoughtful and nodded heavily after a moment.
"Do it!" Both the person and the cat were happy masters, and they didn't bother to say goodbye or talk nonsense. They agreed to take their own things, such as ginseng and so on, and disappear directly.
Grandmaster is fast. ...The second day. Kou Zhong woke up early in the morning and was a little confused, not knowing what to do.
The training of sergeants is done by the subordinates, and the work of the young marshal has been arranged for next month. The fish is gone!
"Reporting to the young marshal, when the maid went to clean up the room for the two great masters today, she found that the building was empty, leaving only a farewell letter." Xu Xingzhi came in to report.
As a military advisor and housekeeper, he takes care of almost all matters of the Young Marshal's army, no matter how small or small, he is fair and just, and everyone obeys him.
Kou Zhong subconsciously took the letter and opened it. There were only two words on it: meow, and a big cat paw mark.
The young commander was dumbfounded. What does it mean? After a while, the two looked at each other, at a loss. It took a long time for Kou Zhong to realize that his fish had been stolen and eaten by those two guys, right?
Blood loss! …
