The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 159
"Miss Sima."

Someone yelled softly outside the house, Sima Lanting was thinking about something, when he heard the sound, he turned his head and saw Su Lin.

The white clothes are like snow, and the plain face is like flowers.

Smiling like a spring breeze, Sima Lanting quickly got up, saluted and said: "I have seen the lord."

"No need to salute." Su Lin smiled and quickly gave him a hand.

Sima Lanting got up and stood there cautiously.

"Miss Sima is still used to being here these days?" Su Lin asked with a smile.

"It's okay."

Sima Lanting nodded. In order to take care of her identity, Su Lin specially assigned her a private residence.

Let her teach guqin here, and get the same monthly work points as the company commander.

She chose to come here, perhaps because she was tired of the prosperous and luxurious life.

Want to choose a simple, modest life.

Living here is very simple, there are no obscene clients, vicious thugs, and money-hungry old bustards.

I am quite satisfied with my life here.

"I came here to discuss with Miss Sima. I plan to hold a performance in a few days. I want to ask Miss Sima to prepare a show."

Su Lin wanted to form a troupe of girls from brothels, and he was about to start a war with Qin Chu in the near future, so it was necessary to boost morale before the battle.

"I don't want to do that again."

There was a hint of disgust on Sima Lanting's face, thinking that Su Lin wanted her to entertain others with sex.

"That kind?" Su Lin was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Girl misunderstood, it's not like the previous shows that entertain people with sex, but sing some inspiring songs to convey positive energy."

"Positive energy?" Sima Lanting frowned. He had never heard of this word before, but the literal meaning is easy to explain. "You mean to teach everyone how to behave and convey truth, goodness and beauty, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's what it means." Su Lin nodded, the ancients of positive energy may not understand what it means.

"So, the little girl can agree." Sima Lanting nodded, as long as it wasn't the same as before, she was willing to do something for Dahan Town.

"Well, I want to discuss something with the girl. I just want to set up an art troupe. You will be the head of the troupe, responsible for teaching rhythm, dancing, and performing in Dahan Town. What do you want?" Su Lin really wanted to do this. , There is no one who has talent in this area.

Sima Lanting studied rhythm and dance since he was a child, and he can be said to be a master in this field. If she takes up this position, Su Lin thinks it is very suitable.

"Art Troupe?" Sima Lanting frowned slightly, Su Lin kept saying words and phrases she had never heard before, probably in the local dialect.

But I generally understand the function, which is to teach music, dance, and be responsible for performances.

"The little girl, He Dehe Neng, just wants to live a normal life and teach the skills she has learned, but she doesn't understand other things." Sima Lanting politely declined.

"Miss Sima, don't rush to refuse. You just need to be a name and be responsible for teaching skills. As for the trivial matters in the regiment, I can assign you a few deputy regimental leaders to take care of them." Su Lin laughed.

"This."

Sima Lanting was a little hesitant, it would be a little hypocritical to refuse after talking about this point.

"Girl, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement." Su Lin patted Sima Lanting's shoulder boldly, "Girl is only in charge of the show, and I'll send someone to help you with other things. Okay, I'll leave first if I have something else to do."

Sima Lanting also gave a wry smile, bowed slightly, "Respectfully send off the lord."

After Su Lin left, Sima Lanting looked at the slapped shoulder, shook his head and said with a smile, "This Miss Su looks like a fairy, but acts like a man, but she is very easy to get along with."

Then she walked out of the room, stepping on the slate floor of the courtyard with her blue cloth boots. The elegant environment made her feel very comfortable.

"There's a real magic here."

Sima Lanting opened his arms, never feeling the feeling of freedom like today.

In Yindu of Chu State, there is a dilapidated small courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

A luxurious carriage was parked at the entrance of the small courtyard. There were three black horses without any variegation. Anyone who could afford such a carriage even in Yin must be an extremely expensive person.

A young eunuch hurriedly knelt under the carriage, the maid lifted the curtain, and Zheng Xiu got out of the carriage.

The purple boots with the golden silk phoenix pattern stepped on the back of the little eunuch, and she was wearing a purple dress and a floor-length skirt, which symbolized nobility.

There are two maidservants behind to help drag the skirt. After all, the ground here is dirty, so it can't be the same as in the palace.

"Is it here?" Zheng Xiu asked lightly.

Walking by was Zheng Long, wearing a black cloth and flatteringly said: "Ma'am, the person is inside."

"Yeah." Zheng Xiumei's eyes showed a cold look, and he walked into the courtyard in purple boots.

The man in white, holding the handle of the long sword with both hands, the scabbard on the ground, with his back to Zheng Xiu, was closing his eyes and recuperating.

Hearing the sound, "Here we come." He didn't turn his head, but just said something lightly.

"Did you find that person?" Zheng Xiu asked expectantly.

The man in white turned around, didn't he see Gai Tianming, the white-clothed swordsman whom he hadn't seen for a long time?
He said slowly, "I found it, it's inside."

"it is good."

After Zheng Xiu only said this word, he quickly walked forward and opened the door.

I saw an old man with white hair sitting on the ground with a haggard look on his face. When he saw the door open and a noble woman came in, the old man showed doubts.

"Who are you and why did you arrest me here?" The old man looked a little nervous, but he wasn't too scared.

"Hehe, it's really hard for you to hide in the mountains and live that kind of hard life." Zheng Xiu said, his expression had turned cold.

Who is the person she hates the most?Su Lin ranked second, and the first one must be Yue Wang Wuqiang.

It was he who sent people to kill his parents, causing Zheng Xiu's family to be destroyed.

I finally found him today, and Zheng Xiu's face gradually became grim.

"You, how do you know, who are you?" Yue Wang Wuqiang began to fear, since he was destroyed in the mountains, he has been hiding in the deep mountains, living a life of poverty, thinking about staying there but leaving his life alone.

But unexpectedly, he was found. This is the state of Chu, and there are many people who want to kill him.

But I really don’t know this woman, and I don’t know why they have enmity.

"Do you still remember Fan Li and Xi Shi?" Zheng Xiu sneered.

"Fan Li? Xi Shi?" Yue Wang Wuqiang muttered, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in horror: "Are you their daughter? Are you alive?"

When he saw Zheng Xiu's appearance just now, Wu Qiang felt a little familiar. After all, he had also seen young Xi Shi.

At that time, it was ordered to destroy Fan Liman's family, so how could anyone slip through the net?
Could it be that Jing Jia released the water on purpose.

King Yue has no time to think about anything else, he just thinks about how to save his life.

"Forgive me, I was just confused for a moment. I was close friends with Fan Li when we were young. For the sake of my advanced age, please let your uncle go." Yue Wang Wuqiang hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Uncle Shi?" Zheng Xiu read a sentence, then laughed, pointing at King Yue, "Old thing, you are worthy of an old dog?"

"When you sent people to kill my parents, why didn't you think about your brotherhood? My parents ran all their lives for the country of Yue, endured humiliation, and finally King Goujian of Yue was able to make the country rich and powerful and destroy the country of Wu, but you sent someone to kill the country that once A person who has served the country."

"What kind of virtue do you have to be the king of Yue? Killing you is simply cheap for you. I will torture you slowly, cut off your ears, nose, eyes, tongue, cut off your limbs, put them in the wine jar You have been tortured, rest assured that I will not let you die so quickly, I will let people feed you, and let you live for another year and a half."

After Zheng Xiu finished speaking, his face became ferocious.

Yue Wang Wuqiang's eyes widened after hearing this, as if all the strength in his body had been drained, he collapsed on the ground, his eyes were gray and full of despair.
