Gongshang Confidante

Five years later

It has been five years since Emperor Jinghui ascended the throne. The new emperor Ren De loves the people, promotes learning and reduces taxes, and is deeply loved by the people of the Zhou Dynasty. Not only that, because the mother of Emperor Jinghui Zhou Ren came from the Su family of a loyal minister and famous general, she was respected by court officials. After ascending the throne, everything went smoothly.

However, Emperor Jinghui's sincerity is like that of Emperor Jinghong, who was soft and considerate, but not strong enough for the frontier. Since Emperor Jinghui ascended the throne, the Guhe clan was relatively peaceful, and some tribes made provocative actions one after another. Fortunately, the black tiger The army guarded the border and repelled foreign enemies time and time again.

Since the empress died of illness and abdicated, there are still a lot of unofficial stories about the only empress in history. In the past two years, it was the female general on the border of Mobei who was more popular than the empress.

Five years ago, the ghost-faced Shura, who had intimidated the enemies of the Black Tiger Army, suddenly disappeared.But there is no ghost-faced Shura, but there is a jade-faced Shura. The female general is brave and good at fighting, and she is proficient in deploying troops and defeating the enemies outside Mobei.

In a teahouse in the capital city, a storyteller waved his fan and said, "It is said that Shura with the jade face, although she is the body of a daughter, is seven feet long, has the eyes of a vajra, is imposing, powerful, and has a smashing hammer in her hand. Dancing with wind, he knocked the enemy general's horse to the ground, and with a backhand hammer, smashed the head of the Di clan general!",

Hiss... Everyone in the field gasped when they heard it. The storyteller touched his beard, took a sip of tea, fanned his hands, and continued, "The Di army saw the general was killed, and fled back in a shit. Late, soon, the flag of the Black Tiger Army was waving, and there was a thunderous sound of fire and thunder, which wiped out all the troops of the Di tribe, leaving no one behind! It is said that on the battlefield, except for veterans, everyone else I vomited a lot, but it was a bloody, charred corpse all over the ground."

"After this battle, the Di tribe will never dare to offend me, Dazhou, and the rest of the tribes will be intimidated by the reputation of Yumian Shura. Even if they are ambitious, they must first weigh their own abilities!",

"Happy!" A big man in the teahouse shouted loudly, "Brutal, bloodthirsty! This jade-faced Shura is doing reckless things, and she looks like a Shura. Who dares to marry her! A woman should be virtuous and virtuous, or a husband." Godson, or knowledge of etiquette and morality, admission examiner, how decent is it to fight and kill!" A scholar-like person shook his head and said,

After Emperor Jing Hui ascended the throne, he promoted the rule of literature, established the study of rites and music, poetry and songs, and praised the style of writing. Without the Black Tiger Army, without the jade-faced Shura, fighting and killing at the border, defending the Zhou Dynasty, how can you have a say! Your head has long been chopped off by Di Clan and Gu He and kicked as a ball."

"Besides, so what if women fight and kill? There really is such a heroine among women, even if she looks like Shura, I can marry her!" The big man threw the frightened pale scholar back to his seat, angrily Said.

Pfft, someone laughed softly, it was on the second floor by the window, the big man looked upstairs displeasedly, and saw a woman in a light blue dress, with a refined face, shaking a fan in her hand, her smile was not a smile, Eyebrow proudly, "Girl, what's so funny?" the big man suppressed his anger and asked,

"Strong man, for the matter of defending the family and the country, I will applaud even if it is a girl's house." A woman in white beside her said softly. Embarrassing flowers, cherry lips and water chestnut, when speaking, it is like the bright moon blooming at the beginning of the month, reflecting the peach blossoms.

The woman in blue opened the fan in her hand, covering the faces of the people next to her. She looked at the big man with displeasure, "The girl has a broad mind, which is admirable." The big man shyly looked away and sat back in his chair.

"The emperor appointed Yumian Xiuluo as the general of Weiguo, and he has summoned Yumian Xiuluo back to Beijing to lead the black tiger general to be appointed as an official to receive the reward. It should be within two days," the storyteller continued, "At that time, we must see Yumian Xiuluo's dignity is great!", "Yes! Yes! It's the way to welcome the Black Tiger Army!" The people in the teahouse started discussing eagerly.

The woman in white pushed away the fan in front of her face and couldn't help laughing, "Chao'er, the storyteller in the teahouse finally stopped talking about the unofficial history of the empress this time."

Zhou Chiyu withdrew her fan and cast a glance at her, "I told you to pretend to be a man, but you don't agree, just look at how many flies I've sent away along the way." Su Muxue squeezed her hand lightly, "But didn't you pretend to be a man too? I’m going back to Beijing every day to report on my work, and I don’t know if Aunt Qing has arrived in the capital?!”,

"Don't worry, with Aunt Ning here, I will definitely catch up," Zhou Chiyu shook his head, "Aunt Qing has a big heart, and she actually leads Aunt Ning to meet General Su once a year. See you Ning Xiaobao",

After finishing speaking, Zhou Chiyu laughed again, "I heard that the imperial brother is going to give Xiaobao a marriage, which is enough for her to drink a pot."

"You, gloating", Su Muxue nodded her forehead, watching the people coming and going outside the teahouse, this capital city has not been here for a long time.

Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, he could only hear the beating of gongs outside, and someone shouted, "The Black Tiger Army has entered the city! The Black Tiger Army has entered the city!" The people became angry and rushed outside the door.

This time Emperor Jinghui rewarded his meritorious deeds, and the Black Tiger Army, Tiger and Leopard Riders and other generals returned to Beijing to receive the rewards, so the capital was very lively.

In the distance, two huge bright yellow banners approached, one with a dragon pattern embroidered on one side, and the other with the Chinese character Da Zhou, followed by two ink-colored banners, with a black tiger totem embroidered on one side and the Ning character on the other, fluttering in the wind , imposing.

The Black Tiger Army has [-] personal guards, elite soldiers in armor, riding a fine horse, with neat steps, solemn expression, and looking straight ahead. Except for the small sound of the sword hitting the saddle, no one makes a sound. This is the Black Tiger Army that makes foreign enemies fearful. .

The common people were stopped on both sides, cheering and praising, during which someone asked in a low voice, "Who is the jade-faced Shura? Is it the one riding the bay red horse?",

"What look? That's a man with a beard?"

Stop", "No, no, can't you? ",

Amidst the discussions, the Black Tiger Army quickly parted and made way for a small path. A tall white horse came at a fast pace, decorated with red tassels and a silver saddle, sitting on a tall and slender figure, wearing silver armor and feather ornaments He wears a silver helmet with a long knife on his waist, a straight back, deep features and focused eyes.

The horses of the leaders on both sides retreated slightly, with respectful expressions on their faces.

In an instant, no one doubted that the phoenix-like dragon in front of him, the heroic and transcendent general, was the jade-faced Shura.

The people were silent for a while, and then fell into a more heated discussion, staring at her with fixed eyes, the sun was covered by thick clouds, and the face in the shadow of the silver helmet could not be seen clearly. There was a bold woman who casually threw the fan in her hand towards the center. Go, land right next to her horse.

A long whip whizzed out, wrapped around a fan and rolled up. Yumian Shura held the whip and looked up towards the attic next to her. A ray of bright sunlight fell on her face just in time.

His skin was tanned by the sun to a wheat color with a honey-colored luster. His facial features were distinct and deep. Under the sharp sword eyebrows, his eyes were as amber in color and cold as glass beads, exuding a murderous air. His nose bridge was straight and his thin lips were tightly pursed. , every gesture is heroic, and she doesn't look like a woman, but it's not the angry-eyed King Kong in the storyteller's mouth, but like the husband in the dream when a young girl is pregnant.

She raised her head, the long whip swept over the head of the crowd, and headed towards the attic, the fan fell accurately into the arms of the woman in blue, and when she saw the woman in white next to her, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

That smile is like the spring shining on the land, the ice and snow melt into a trickle, the beautiful scenery is picturesque, and it is extremely pampered, just like the husband that every woman dreams of.

All the women stared straight at the smile of the female general on the white horse, wishing to see and kill her.

"She keeps looking at you like this, I don't like it," Zhou Chiyu said aggrievedly as he knocked on the table with his fan, and Su Muxue said with a smile, "It's clear that you hit her with the fan, but it's my fault?" ,

"Who told me that I'm just a down-and-out former emperor, but he is already the most respected female general in the current dynasty?" Zhou Chiyu sighed wistfully, rolling his eyes, "I have to be optimistic about you, be careful not to be You have lost your soul, look at those women below",

"You", Su Muxue shook her head helplessly, and turned to look at the people below, with a smile on her lips, Xiaobao has finally grown up.

"Benefactor, please don't push me." A gray-robed Taoist nun pushed and pushed farther and farther involuntarily in the crowd, until she broke through the guards, turned her foot, and fell to the road.

The general pulled the reins, the horse raised its front hooves and neighed, the little nun's face turned pale with fright, seeing that the horse's hooves were about to step down, a whip wrapped around her waist gently, rolled her up in the air, and fell to the ground. in one's arms.

"Ah!", the girls screamed uncontrollably, cursing in their hearts that the little Taoist nun was lying in Yumian Shura's arms. Thinking about it again, Yumian Shura was a woman, so she saved the Taoist nun out of reason. It's just that it feels as if the man in the dream has been robbed, and he can't wait to see her killed.

"Thank you, thank you general!" Fengqin's face was pale, and she felt that the person in front of her looked familiar in her panic, "Why, don't you remember me? Little Daoist", Ning Xiaobao raised the corners of her mouth, "Can you return your master's pastry?" Yes, how about making some for me?",

"Ah, it's you", Feng Qin covered her lips, she couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the one who went back to the gymnasium to steal snacks, "I see your ankle is sprained, I'll send you back", Ning Xiaobao bowed her head said,

"No, no, the benefactor let me down", the little nun struggled, she couldn't bear to be carried for a whole street by the jade-faced Shura in front of everyone,

"If you are afraid, just turn your face away. No one will recognize you." Ning Xiaobao twisted her head into her arms, only to hear a click, Ning Xiaobao hurriedly let go of her scared, and squeezed her The neck, so slender and tender, was almost unscrewed, "What's wrong with you?",

The slender neck, the snow-white skin flushed, bent over and buried in his arms, like a swan drinking water, Ning Xiaobao gently supported her, looking straight ahead, as if afraid of hurting her.

"General, just now...you seemed a little gentle..." The general next to him coughed and said in a low voice, "Shut up and look forward!" Ning Xiaobao gave him a cold look.

The next day, on the way back to Beijing, the story of Yumian Xiuluo hugging a Taoist nun spread throughout the capital, even Mobei,

It is said that later, the emperor gave up the idea of ​​giving Yumian Shura a marriage, and many versions were quickly circulated among the people.

According to the study, it is even better than the one sold by the Empress Ye Shi.
