238: I can’t have it [two-in-one](1/2)
The confidant said cautiously: "I heard there is a war."
When Gong Xiqiu heard the word "war", his face became a little unhappy. Even though he had been trying to hide for a while, it didn't mean that the news was blocked. Hearing that the envoys of the King of Pigs ordered that Xiaocheng be slaughtered to pieces.
, still didn’t get the so-called “National Seal”.
The mentality is somewhat broken and the anger is strong.
But the one who was even more devastated than the Pig King's envoy was the Pig King.
Even though his title is "King She", he has no problem with his mind. No one knows better than King She what will happen if he doesn't get the national seal - once Zheng Qiao regains his breath, he can suppress the eager rebel crowd.
, the first one will come to deal with him.
King She and another rebellious brother became increasingly restless.
Specifically, the old general received a secret letter with harsher wording than the previous one, and even Gong Xiqiu, who had been closed to the public for many days, heard about it.
Gong Xiqiu sneered: "Is there another war?"
Last time, you did a useless job and massacred an entire city for the so-called "national seal"... This time there is a war, what else do you want to cause trouble?
The confidant bowed his head and said: "I heard it is a crusade against the coalition forces."
Gong Xiqiu: "What coalition forces? Those rabble?"
The confidant said: "It's them."
Gong Xiqiu pursed his lips and said indifferently: "I understand, you go back and tell your adoptive father, I will pack up here and go over."
They said they were cleaning up, but actually they didn't do anything.
I simply don’t like being on time and deliberately keep people waiting. Even if other people know it well, they have to endure it.
All the soldiers were having a banquet and there was endless singing and dancing in the hall.
As soon as Gong Xiqiu passed by, the old general enthusiastically asked him to come forward and sit next to him. Several young, beautiful, graceful and coolly dressed dancers came up to him. One of them had a particularly good appearance and was dressed more luxuriously than them.
This woman's waist was like a water snake, and she almost slipped into Gong Xiqiu's arms. She poured wine for him with a smile. Her eyes were as charming as silk, and her red lips were lightly parted.
The sound is as crisp as an oriole and very pleasant to the ear.
"Major General, please."
Gong Xiqiu accidentally touched the woman's naked back with his fingers, as if he had touched a delicate, soft and cold snake. He subconsciously froze. He was about to raise his hand to push the woman away, but he heard the old general ask him with a smile: "
Ah Nian, are you satisfied with this woman?"
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
He lowered his head slightly, his eyes met those eyes full of spring water, and he frowned and said, "Not satisfied."
When the woman heard this, her beauty immediately turned pale.
He hurriedly climbed out of Gong Xiqiu's arms.
She seemed to know her fate and kept shivering.
Normally, Mei Ji who was rejected by Gong Xiqiu would eventually be rewarded by the old general to other subordinates, or he would accept it himself. But this time, the old general was uncharacteristic and persuaded him in the tone of an old father: "How can a man not do this?
Do you like colors?”
This adopted son would be good anywhere.
He is obedient, loyal, has no ambitions, and does not think about coveting things that do not belong to him. He is much better than those unfilial sons in the family.
It's a pity that he is not his son.
The old general was very satisfied with him, but occasionally he would have a lot of worries - Gong Xiqiu liked gold, silver, jewelry, treasures and wine, but he was not greedy for money, he was quite indifferent to beauty, he was powerful, amazingly talented and young.
, there is still room for growth.
In a way, he is almost a perfect man.
But can a tool with no flaws really be used by him all the time? After three rounds of drinking, the old general’s cheeks turned slightly red.
Under the influence of wine, he said half-truthfully: "A-Nian, are you really unwilling to accept this girl? In this case, my adoptive father will reward her. Those soldiers below will follow you and my father on the expedition, away from the wives at home."
, there is no one to comfort..."
The dancer's face lost all color after hearing this.
She lay tremblingly on the ground without daring to say a word. Judging from the small tremors on her back that she was trying to endure, she was already frightened.
At the banquet, other generals also laughed and booed.
"At the age of a major general, not to mention a mother-in-law, even the children of concubines can run away." One person said nonsense under the influence of wine, "Is it because the major general has no one to teach the affairs of the house? Women are not fierce beasts that eat marrow.
It’s true to know the taste.”
Another person laughed and joked: "If you really reward a beauty with such a mark, I'm afraid that in less than two days, even the best buds will wither. You might as well accept it and add more flowers to the house."
How good is a person who knows both cold and hot?"
"It's such a shame to mark a beauty like this."
The old general raised his hand, preparing to have someone pull the woman down.
Gong Xiqiu said helplessly: "Just stay."
Hearing this, the already desperate woman raised her head to look at him in ecstasy, but Gong Xiqiu's eyes did not fall on her.
But no matter what, she escaped for the time being.
Gong Xiqiu knocked on the food table with his fingers: "What are you doing standing there in a daze?"
The glass of wine is already empty.
The woman hurriedly filled the wine glass for him.
When the old general saw this, the blockage in his heart finally cleared.
Gongxi Qiu took a sip of wine and asked the old general with a normal expression: "What is the reason why the adoptive father is urgently recruiting the children?"
The old general said: "For that group of thieves."
Gong Xiqiu: "My son is willing to relieve his adoptive father's worries."
The old general was happy in his heart, but there was still worry on his face.
He sighed and patted Yoshiko on the shoulder.
"As a father, I naturally know that my son is brave, but the alliance formed by this group of thieves is indeed somewhat capable. It is stronger than you and I expected. The leader of the alliance is named Wu, and his name is Xian. I heard that there are several people under his command who are outstanding in martial arts.
All the generals in the family are serious troubles!"
Gong Xiqiu said coldly: "Don't worry about my adoptive father, that gang of people is nothing in my eyes. My adoptive father asked me to lead an army of ten thousand, not to mention Wu Xian's generals, even Wu Xian himself, my son will also
Take off his head and make a cub for your adoptive father!"
The old general was greatly moved after hearing this.
He patted Gong Xiqiu on the shoulder and praised him.
"My son is brave! You can rest easy!"
Other generals also followed suit: "The Major General is the bravest of the three armies. Those local chickens and dogs are vulnerable. The last general is here, let me first pay a toast to the Major General."
Others also raised their glasses.
Gong Xiqiu had already rolled his eyes inwardly.
You still have to hold up your wine glass and drink with the generals.
At this time, a bearded military general with a somewhat unfamiliar appearance came out of the corner. He clasped his hands and said in a fierce voice: "How can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife? The last general asked for a fight and was willing to send troops with the major general to kill that group of rebels.
Leave no trace behind!"
Gong Xiqiu's eyes moved.
He didn't quite know who his adoptive father was.
This stupid young man looked angry.
Why do you say it's stupid?
Didn't you see that everyone else was silent?
He spoke very forcefully, but no one stood up to ask for a fight. Instead, they kept blaming each other? Craning their necks to wait for him to come forward?
Why?
Because it’s easier to gain military exploits by following him!
On the battlefield, there is no one with swords and guns, who will not hesitate to die?
Victory in war means glory and wealth, who wouldn't be tempted?
If you can save your life and gain military exploits at the same time, no fool would refuse to do it.
But I didn't expect that a stupid person would come forward on his own initiative.
From what I heard, I wanted to take the lead.
Gong Xiqiu didn't recognize this person's identity, but how could the old general not know? He immediately said three good things in one breath: "Okay, okay - I have strong generals like you, so why worry about forming an alliance with traitors and becoming powerful?"
Without saying a word——
Reward this person with two dancing girls and a box of jewelry.
He ordered Gong Xiqiu and him to mobilize 10,000 elite troops to meet the enemy.
Gong Xiqiu accepted the order in a deep voice.
It's said to be ordering troops, but in fact he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
He can have a good sleep and recharge his batteries.
Emmm——
Looking at the woman lying on his bed, shy and timid, he immediately lost his sleepiness and stared at the woman in bed. The woman hugged the quilt and bit her lip. Seeing that Gong Xiqiu had not moved, her pretty face turned pale.
He turned pale, stood up and knelt down.
To be continued...
