Chapter 366 Difference
It was already night at night in Zhenhai Jiedu Mansion in Hangzhou. There were many guards in front of the door, complete armor and sharp weapons. Under the lights hanging above the porch, it seemed particularly vulnerable. The entire mansion seemed like a beast lurking in the dark night to rest. It could hurt people at any time. On weekdays, there were few people in front of the door, and there were almost no people. Even if someone passed by occasionally, he subconsciously accelerated his pace and tried to leave the mansion as early as possible.
Just now, a heavy footsteps suddenly came from a distance, mixed with the sound of steel collision. The guards in front of the door immediately became alert, and they opened their bows and crossbows, as if they were facing a great enemy. When they got closer, the head lieutenant vaguely identified the person in charge of the leader Chen Zhang, the marquis of Yu, who was stationed in Liupu. The marquis was from the Lu clan of Huai, and was a close confidant among Lu Fang's confidants. Although his official position was far lower than Chen Zhang, he was not afraid. He was still seven or eight feet away. He shouted loudly: "This is where the court axe is. Who is coming? He will not release his troops and remove his armor quickly." As he spoke, he secretly sent a signal to the soldiers on duty in the door to prepare for unexpected problems.
When Chen Zhang heard the voice of the captain, he immediately ordered his soldiers to stop and stepped forward alone and said, "But is Captain Lu? A certain family is Chen Zhang, the Marquis of Yu in the Jiedu Palace. If there is any important military information, please inform your wife. Please be more accommodating."
The captain snorted coldly and said, "If there is military information, I will report to General Wang. Why bother Mrs.? It's late at night now, how can I disturb Mrs.? General Chen should come again tomorrow."
When Chen Zhang heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and he was secretly angry. He was a very meticulous person. How could he not see the contempt hidden in the words of the captain. However, he also knew that as a surrendered general, he was quite embarrassed in the Zhenhai Army. Although the Captain Lu had a low position in front of him, he was a very close confidant person around Lu Shuxian. If he offended him, he would be afraid of causing endless troubles. He had to suppress his anger and squeezed out a smile on his face: "It was not because I was overtaken by this general, but General Wang went to Huzhou to do business. Now he is not in the city. Moreover, General Wang had explained before leaving. If there is any urgent matter, he would ask his wife for advice."
The captain was a decisive person, but he refused. It turned out that after Lu Fang left the army, he sent Chen Zhang and other surrendered generals to Liupu. Opposite Liupu was the Xiling Ferry. Although the location was very important, the two sides of Zhejiang were now under Lu Fang's jurisdiction, and his status had dropped a lot. The real purpose was to put him outside the city, so that he would not regret it if he changed. This Captain Lu naturally understood the reason why he could not explain it. Now Chen Zhang led his troops to the Jiedu Mansion tonight, so he was so stubborn.
Seeing that the other party was so stubborn, Chen Zhang's anger in his heart became more and more intense. When he remembered the urgent news, he snorted coldly: "You are a little Renyong Captain, but you have a great deal of responsibility. When I wake up my wife and report it, I will tell you if you are right or wrong." After that, he returned to the ranks. The captain didn't know what was going on, so he heard the soldiers there shouting in unison: "I have urgent military situations for Chen Zhang to see his wife."
Dozens of strong men shouted in unison, with such a loud voice. The people in the houses in the fang were immediately awakened a lot. After a while, someone climbed up the wall to watch the fun. However, when they saw the open flames on both sides facing each other, they were so scared that they stepped down from the wall and blocked the door tightly so as not to be affected by the fish. Seeing this, the captain was already so angry that he was smoked from his orifices. When the soldiers were about to come forward to stop him, Chen Zhang had already lost his gratitude as he had just now. He held a spear in his hand, his face turned pale, and he looked like he would stab him to death if he came. The guards remembered his reputation, but no one dared to come forward to stop him.
The two sides were in a stalemate, but there was a flash of fire in the distance. A group of people came. Although Chen Zhang could not recognize who it was for a while, he ordered his subordinates to stop shouting for the time being to see if there was a turning point. At this time, the pedestrian had already discovered something was wrong. An old lady rushed over and shouted, "Who is so bold that she is actually making noise in front of the Jiedu Mansion."
The Chief Lu was so angry that he wanted to complain, but Chen Zhang rushed in front, bowed and said in a deep voice: "The last general, Chen Zhang, the Marquis of Yu in the Jiedu Palace, had an urgent military situation to inform his wife, but was blocked by this guy. He had no choice but to do so. Please forgive me."
When the old lady heard this, she immediately realized that the relationship was important at this time, and it was not a mere entourage who could speak. She quickly retreated to the team and informed the master. After a while, the old lady had carried a lantern and led a woman wearing a curtain cap to come over. She was several feet away. The captain's face changed drastically. He quickly bowed and bowed, saying, "I have seen Mrs. Chen."
"Forget it!" The woman waved casually, and her voice seemed particularly cold in the night sky like cutting ice and snow. At this time, Chen Zhang had already guessed who the woman in front of him was. Although Lu Fang was now at the top, he only had one wife and one concubine. The person in front of him must be his beloved concubine Chen Liniang. Thinking of this, he stepped forward and bowed and said, "I will not be able to give a full gift. Please forgive me, my wife."
Since Lu Fang went to war, Chen Liniang felt quite lonely. She was not like Lu Shuxian. She had to deal with internal and external affairs in the mansion. She had nothing to do all day long. The weather was good today, so she brought more than a dozen followers outings. When she came back, she happened to encounter this incident. After Chen Zhang finished his salute, she asked softly: "General Chen said there was an important military information notification to Sister Lu, but there was General Wang in the city, and his husband had said it before he left, so why bother Sister Lu."
"It's not that the young general doesn't know the rules, but that General Wang rushed to Huzhou and was not in the city. He also gave an explanation before leaving. If there is any important matter, he can ask his wife for instructions."
When Chen Liniang heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little painful. Although Lu Fang loved her very much and did not treat her first-class concubines, she knew in her heart that she was still incomparable to Lu Shuxian. For example, at this time, when the general in front of her had a big event, she would never think of discussing with her. Since ancient times, those who have sex with others will have a weaker love for others. Although her face is peerless, now Lu Fang is in the top position in the official position in less than 40 years old. Will she still lack beauty in the future? Once she loses Lu Fang's love for her, she is already alone and has no protection for her family? Thinking of this, Chen Liniang's pretty face behind the curtains couldn't help but frown slightly, showing a sad look.
Chen Zhang didn't know what Chen Liniang was thinking. He only saw the woman in front of him after hearing what she said just now, and stood there, like a wooden chicken, without saying a word for a long time. He had to cough in a low voice, trying to wake him up.
Chen Liniang was secretly pitying herself for her life, but she heard a cough. When she looked up, it was Chen Zhang in front of her. The old lady beside her looked quite strange. After thinking about it, she understood what was going on. She was embarrassed and her face turned red immediately. Fortunately, she was covered by a curtain, so she didn't have to worry about others seeing it. She suppressed herself and said softly: "Since it's an emergency military situation, General Chen will follow me into the mansion and say with a word."
Seeing this, Captain Lu did not care about his rudeness and stepped forward and said hurriedly: "No, after nightfall, no one should enter the palace with his troops. This is the iron rule of the envoy."
"What's the harm in General Chen entering the mansion alone? At most, let him leave his weapons." Chen Liniang frowned slightly, and there was a hint of anger in her heart.
The captain insisted on not allowing it. Chen Liniang was already quite impatient and asked coldly: "What if it was the order of Sister Lu's family? It would be unwilling."
"Madam is the lord of a mansion, so it's different." As soon as the commander Lu said, he felt something was wrong and stopped quickly, but it was too late. He only felt a lighter waist and a flash of eyes. But he saw the people beside him looking at him with a strange look. He didn't know what happened, but heard Chen Liniang say coldly: "When my husband left the city, he once reminded that if it was a military matter, the sister of the Lu family should be the main one. If it was in the mansion, I would be treated like my sister. Although I was the same as my sister. Woman, how can you let a villain be so arrogant? Even if you kill you with one sword today, my sister won't blame me." The captain was about to explain when he heard this, he suddenly felt a lighter on his head. It turned out that the helmet on his top had turned into two pieces at some point, and the bun on his head was cut off, and his hair was dripping down. In amazement, he saw the horizontal knife in Chen Liniang's hand that looked familiar. When he looked down at his waist, there was only an empty scabbard left, which was so scared that he was out of his mind.
Chen Zhang, who was standing beside him, was also shocked. Chen Liniang grabbed the sword and cut the other party's helmet. Her figure was like a ghost. Whether it was body skills, eyesight, hand power, and swordsmanship, they had reached an extremely high level. If he changed himself, he would probably have to wait for death. He had also heard that Lu Fang's concubine's swordsmanship was amazing. He could see that his timid appearance was just a "sword dance" to please others. When he saw him today, he realized that it was a first-class swordsmanship. He also saw the fierce and angry feeling in his words just now, and he was a little lost.
After Chen Liniang snatched the sword and demonstrated, she threw the snatched sword on the ground and walked towards the mansion gate. The captain stood there as if he was stunned. The guards behind him were robbed by his power, so he dared not say much. They opened the side doors and let the group enter. Seeing this, Chen Zhang couldn't help but smile, handed over the weapons to the guards who were walking with him, and gave a few more instructions, then took the messenger to follow him.
When the group entered the mansion, they saw the towers and water pavilions, and there were countless heavy courtyards. After walking for a cup of tea, they did not reach Lu Shuxian's residence. Chen Zhang thought to himself, no wonder he had been shouting outside for a long time, but he had not seen any movement. For such a large mansion, I am afraid that Lu Shuxian might not be able to hear it even if his group shouted outside for a night.
While Chen Zhang was thinking, the person in front of him suddenly stopped and saw Chen Liniang coming to him. A faint fragrance came over. He pointed to a courtyard not far away and said, "General Chen, there is the yard of his wife. I will let Madam Chen pass on it for you. I am a little tired, so I will go to rest first." She was in a very bad mood at this time and didn't want to see Lu Shuxian. After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave.
Chen Zhang said, "For the matter tonight, I will thank my wife here first." At this point, he bowed and bowed, then stepped forward and whispered: "Actually, in Mo Jiang's heart, both wives are ordinary, and they are no different. I believe Mr. Lu thought so too."
