Empress Chu

"Did you say that if you have the ability to compete, whoever wins will deserve to eat? That's why the two sides fought?"

The five soldiers knelt down with a plop.

Master Zhu looked at the five people, but he didn't get angry, and asked, "Is that so?"

Among the soldiers kneeling on the ground, some were uneasy, some turned pale, and some turned red with grievances.

"Yes." They hesitated for a moment, but still admitted.

"If that's the case, let's deal with it by military law." Chief Zhu said, looking at the young general standing in front of the door, "Apologize to Captain Xie and the frontier army."

Military law?

The faces of the five people were ashen.

"My lord." The soldier with a flushed face couldn't help shouting anymore, "But we really can't help it, they are too picky, they overturned our prepared meals three or five times, saying that they didn't fit together, that we were disrespectful, Sending them pig food, we are not respectful, we all eat this kind of food, what we eat, they can't eat it, we are just not convinced—"

When his words fell, there were also shouts from the Beijing soldiers surrounding the outside.

"My lord, don't blame them, we just can't stand it!"

"Why are you picky and picky?"

"We eat pig food, but we want to see how much better they are than us at eating human food!"

"What's so crazy about them, they guard the border county, and we are not idle, we also guard the capital!"

The Beijing soldiers who had been quiet with the shouts made noise again and rushed forward one after another, while the frontier soldiers did not show any weakness.

"Nonsense, who is picky!"

"It's you who throw pots and bowls to see that we don't like it!"

"Come on, try it."

"Who is afraid of who!"

The scene was like boiling water again.

The officials standing in the middle also looked like the bottom of the pot again.

"Shut up!" they ordered.

Although there were a large number of soldiers, they did not dare to offend the civil servants and calmed down, but the atmosphere was still tense.

"My lord, look—" the officials breathed a sigh of relief, and asked for instructions, "It seems that this is the case, because there was a quarrel over eating, drinking, and quarreling, so let's deal with it according to military law."

Master Zhu's expression was calm: "I heard that the punishment should be punished naturally, but the Taifu's questioning is very strict, I can't make any omissions and I have to ask again."

What else is there to ask?Big things are turned into small things, small things are turned into small things, the punishment that should be punished, let these frontier soldiers rush to the capital to face the saint, the matter is over, the officials thought to themselves, but since the master Zhu has already moved out of the name of the grand master, they dare not object .

Master Zhu looked at the five kneeling cooks and soldiers, and asked, "What kind of food did you cook? People say it's pig food?"

A cook and soldier raised his head and said: "My lord, it is the meat and vegetables that are often eaten in the barracks." Enduring the grievance, "I know that our cooking skills are not good, and we are not as good as those restaurant chefs."

Master Zhu frowned and said, "What are you talking about, the chef of the frontier army is not the chef of the restaurant."

"But the masters of this family eat delicacies from mountains and seas!" Another cook shouted, raising his head to look at one of them.

All eyes on the scene followed him instantly.

I wish the principal to take it easy, not rushing or panicking, slowly turning his head, looking at the young general standing in front of the door, not paying attention to the quarrel and noise in front of him, just staring at his fingers out of boredom.

"Lieutenant Xie is a son of a noble family." He asked, "But it is difficult to kill the enemy in the frontier army, so you can't eat delicacies from mountains and seas?"

Xie Yanlai raised his eyelids to look at him, but before he could speak, the attendant standing beside him knelt down.

"My lord, this has nothing to do with your son, it's my fault." He said, "It's because our son had a hard time fighting enemies in the frontier army, and now that he's back in the capital, I want him to eat better and suit his taste, so Got into an argument with the kitchen."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself twice.

"My son is completely ignorant, please punish me, sir."

Master Zhu smiled, without looking at the attendant, he still looked at Xie Yanlai and asked: "Xie Xiaowei, is that so?"

Xie Yanlai lowered her eyelids that were originally raised, she didn't look at her attendants, she didn't look at Master Zhu, she didn't say yes or no, she just said lazily: "It's what you say."

Master Zhu sneered: "How dare I say something about Mr. Xie casually."

I don't call him Colonel Xie any more, but I say Mr. Xie, who knows whether he is referring to the Mr. Xie in front of him, or the Mr. Xie who is in the court.

The officials next to him knew very well that Zhu Zhu, who is the grand tutor, would not have a good word for Mr. Xie.

"Now that I know what's going on." An official said in a low voice, "Go back and tell the Taifu, so I can remind you."

So far, there is really nothing to do here, it's just some nonsense, I wish the master took a look at Xie Yanlai, boy, let's talk in the hall.

"Okay." He withdrew his gaze, "That's the end of this matter, take these people away—"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yanlai, who was too lazy to speak, spoke after him.

"Wait a minute." He interrupted Mr. Zhu, "This matter can't stop here."

cannot?

I wish the principal and the officials to look at Xie Yanlai.

The young general stood up straight, his laziness dissipated, he shook his hands in front of him, and said coldly: "This matter is not over yet."

Chapter 13 one person

Let this end here.

Whether it was the officials of the Ministry of War, the chief general of the Beijing Army, or even the frontier military general standing beside Xie Yanlai, all looked shocked.

"Why? That's the end!" He stretched out his hand to pull Xie Yanlai, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "Don't talk when it's time to talk, and talk when it's not time to talk."

Before these warlords didn't come, they didn't speak. If they spoke then, the fighting would have been stopped long ago.

Now that the masters of the Ministry of War have come forward to settle this matter, why do you say no?

Xie Yanlai shook off his arm: "How can this be over? The fight hasn't been over yet, and the winner hasn't been decided yet."

What!The military commander stared, and he still wants to fight!

"Master!" he shouted.

Surprised, he forgot his official name and called out his private name.

Master Zhu heard it, and said: "Lieutenant Xie is amazing, he is a young master at home, and he is also a young master in the frontier army."

The general's face turned red. According to his position, he is not inferior to Xie Yanlai, and his qualifications are higher than Xie Yanlai's. Xie Yanlai is the chief general in charge of going to Beijing this time, but it is really inappropriate to call him "Xiao Ye". Instead, it seems that Xie Yanlai is domineering in the army.

"My lord, you misunderstood." He hurriedly explained, "It's not that Captain Xie is a master in the army, it's just that our joke says that we are all rough men in the army, and we don't pay much attention to them. very—”

Master Zhu smiled: "General, you are self-effacing. I think you are very particular. Otherwise, why don't you call me young master?"

The military general was tongue-tied and bickered with the civil servant, how could he be an opponent.

Xie Yanlai pushed him away.

"Go ahead, the young master is the young master in the army, what's the matter?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "The young master is powerful, and everyone respects him as a master. This is how it is in our army. The powerful person is the uncle, unlike some people who are regarded as the master." Calling him an adult is just because of the official hat on his head."

The principal Zhu looked annoyed: "Who are you talking about?"

The general hurriedly reached out his hand to stop Xie Yanlai, and stopped him from speaking. They have already learned how irritating this young man's words can be.

Other officials also hurriedly stopped Master Zhu, Xie's children, what's so strange about being arrogant, Xie Yanfang spoke nicely in court, but no one regarded him as a good person.

The officials stopped Master Zhu, but the generals couldn't stop Xie Yanlai.

Xie Yanlai shook off him and stepped down the steps.

"I just want to tell you." He said, instead of staring at Mr. Zhu, he looked at the Beijing soldiers surrounding him, "Master, I am crazy because I am powerful, and the soldiers I lead are also powerful. If we are powerful, we have To be picky about qualifications is to go crazy!"

This remark made the Beijing soldiers who were originally quiet immediately noisy, and the few officials could not calm down even if they yelled loudly this time.

"Xie Yanlai! What are you doing!" an official shouted angrily.

The attendant knelt down and stopped Xie Yanlai: "Master Ninth, stop making trouble!"

A few more people squeezed in from outside, these were some young gentlemen who called "Ninth Brother" and "Ninth Brother" to Xie Yanlai, and a fat young man called "Ninth Uncle" and rushed over.

"Stop making trouble." The fat boy stretched out his hand to grab Xie Yanlai, his face turned red from excitement or anger, and his voice changed when he shouted, "Don't forget your current identity——"

As soon as he touched Xie Yanlai's arm, Xie Yanlai held it down with his backhand, kicked him and knelt on the ground, and the rest of his words turned into howling.

"When is it your turn to take care of me?" Xie Yanlai stepped on him.

The other young masters backed away instantly, with expressions of anger and fear.

"Xie Yanlai—" Xie Xiao was stepped on the ground, gritted his teeth and whispered, "This is outside—"

When the door is closed at home, the brothers of the family can fight whatever they want, but when they go out, they are still in harmony with the family.

This is outside, in plain sight.

"Are you shameless?"

Xie Yanlai bent down, put his hand on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know why you are alive?"

What nonsense?Xie Xiao's chubby face and small eyes were almost slit by Xie Yanlai's hand, the face of the young man who was close at hand became blurred, only those eyes showed indifference, pitiful.

Pitiful?

Who pity whom?

"Xie Yan came to you—" Xie Xiao shouted.

Xie Yanlai interrupted him: "I tell you, you are only alive because I beat you." After saying this, she raised her hand and was slapped.

Xie Xiao screamed.

The people around were also startled, not only the young masters of the Xie family were afraid, but also the officials and military generals stared at him, this Xie Yanlai is really domineering at home and abroad.

How dare you beat your own family like this!

Xie Yanlai kicked Xie Xiao away, rolled up his sleeves, and pulled out the long knife from the general's waist.

The general was so frightened that he came back to his senses: "Xiao——thank you! What are you going to do!"

Xie Yanlai ignored him, the long knife was spinning in his hand, the light of the knife was shining, the sons of the Xie family couldn't help but retreat again, and the officials also avoided.

"Xie Yanlai!" Chief Zhu shouted, "This is a military camp, what are you going to do?"

"In the barracks, of course we have to do what soldiers do." Xie Yan said, "Come on, I, Xie Yan, will fight with you—"

Xie Yanlai turned the long saber and pointed it at the densely packed Beijing soldiers in front of him.

"Let you young soldiers see that we are invincible, so powerful, and so crazy!"

The Beijing soldiers were startled for a moment, then angry, what young soldiers, who is the young soldier!

This Xie looks like a playboy!

"Just hit!"

"Brothers, let him know that we are not idle in the capital!"

If it was said that this place was like boiling water before, it has now turned into a quagmire. The principal Zhu and other officials were instantly submerged and unable to struggle.

Soldiers and horses galloped through the capital again, causing the capital to become chaotic.

"There's a real fight outside the capital—"

……

……

Deep in the imperial city, it is quiet and solemn.

The imperial guards stood still, and the eunuchs and maids walked dignifiedly and silently. The sound of pattering footsteps was particularly conspicuous here, attracting people's attention, but when they saw the people walking quickly, everyone immediately fixed their eyes.

"Xiaoman!"

Ale stood outside the hall and looked around, seeing the girl walking quickly, he hurriedly waved.

"Hurry up, why are you so slow, run quickly."

Xiaoman immediately slowed down, and Ah Le simply ran over to greet her, giggling: "Sister, I made a mistake, I should hurry up to pick you up."

Xiao Man snorted and said, "That's him, he got into a fight with someone in the Beijing camp."

Before the words were finished, Ah Le ran towards the hall, blinking and leaving Xiao Man behind.

Xiaoman was angry and funny, and when she walked into the hall, Ale had finished relaying the words.
