Selfishness

"How about my dance? Does the Major General still like it?"

Can you say you don't like it?

"The long servant girl is like clouds and clothes like fog, and Jin Yinluo recommends light steps." Alas, although she is beautiful, she is wary of Chu Yuan, so the objective evaluation has turned against her original intention.

"The major general has a good literary talent. It seems that both civil and military skills are true." Anyway, he has plagiarized a lot, and it doesn't matter if he plagiarizes one more sentence. Sure enough, people are easy to fall.

"The lord of Chu praised you absurdly. Your dancing posture is comparable to that of the Nine Heavens Xuannv. I'm afraid this worldly poem is not worthy of it."

"Oh? It's because of the immortal family's aura that the major general is so far away from me?"

Speaking of which, I have been standing at the entrance without moving a step, it seems that I am very repulsive to Chu Yuan.Sure enough, this beautiful and intelligent woman scares me the most.As he got closer, his thoughts were guessed.

"It's not because the Lord Chu is so charming that I forgot to walk." I said as I walked towards Chu Yuan.As soon as he walked in, he was pulled by her.Because she was sitting, this pull forced me to sit down too.

"When the flowers are full and the moon is full, the major general will have a drink with me." Chu Yuan took my arm, and with the other hand he picked up the wine glass and fed it to my mouth.

When I was about to refuse, I heard someone approaching from behind, and said slowly: "This is a good wine and a good scene, can I let the king participate?"

As soon as I turned my head, I saw Chen Hui with a "smile like a flower" walking towards us.

Chu Yuan snorted softly, put down his wine glass and said, "Master Sheng came just in time."

"When you hear the moving flute, follow the sound." Chen Hui sat next to me, picked up the glass and drank it, and said, "It's really good wine, and it's also a good scene."

This "good scene" made me feel a pain in my waist.

"The two lords of the country are bright and charming. It's better to do this elegant thing of drinking and singing. I, a vulgar person, will not participate. I will go out to see if there is anything going on in Mofu." As I said, I said While "running" outside, I really didn't want to stay here, feeling that I would be tortured to death by these two women.

But as soon as he ran out of the yard, he was "encountered" by other people again.

"Where is the major general going in a hurry?" Yuan Ming walked towards me slowly, shaking his folding fan.

"Why hasn't Lord Yuan rested yet?" I stopped and looked at the person walking out of the shadows.

Yuan Ming smiled and said: "I heard that Zhonghu City is very lively, so I went out for a walk. It really is a city that never sleeps."

"Oh? Did Lord Yuan find any delicate flowers?"

After I finished speaking, Yuan Ming laughed loudly and said, "Speaking of which, I am just wondering that the Lord of Chu stayed in the Mo Mansion and never went to Muxuan Pavilion to enjoy singing and dancing." He looked at me and said, "It seems that Mofu is more attractive."

"Could it be that the girls in Muxuan Pavilion can't get into the eyes of Lord Yuan?"

"How come? The girls in Muxuan Pavilion are all talented and beautiful, how can they not be loved by others? Besides..." He closed his fan, tapped his palms and said, "They all look like major generals, with strong bones."

"There is a certain similarity between the people in Hucheng who are united in one mind."

Yuan Ming turned his body sideways, cast a glance over, and said, "Really? I thought it was the Mohist army for a moment."

"The Mo family's army is the family soldiers of the Mo family and belongs to the Mo family. But the girl in Muxuan Pavilion is free and at ease. How could it be my Mo family's army?"

Yuan Ming said with a smile, "Zhonghu City is really a magical place."

"It's getting late, the Lord Yuan should rest early. Zhonghu City is not magical, I hope the Lord will not worry about it."

"Lieutenant General," Yuan Ming called me, who turned to leave, and said, "There are quite a few people who are thinking about Zhonghu City. Are you afraid of attracting wolves when the general holds this meeting?"

"The body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, and Zhonghu City just sticks to its own morality. For the sake of faith, why is it difficult to sacrifice something? Isn't it? Yuan Guozhu?"

Yuan Ming was taken aback for a moment, and lowered his eyelids slightly.He looked at me with a wild smile on his face and said: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. For the sake of the prosperity of the empire, it is worth losing something, because everything lost will be taken back."

"Hey, I wish the Lord Yuan can get his wish."

"I'm afraid that if I get what I want, some people will not get what they want."

"Didn't Lord Yuan say that what is lost will always be regained? Lord Yuan, don't lose your wife and lose your army."

"Major General is really interesting." Covered in shadows, he walked towards me slowly and said, "Why don't we cooperate so that everyone can get back what they lost."

"This general has nothing to lose. If Lord Yuan wants to find an ally, he should ask someone else."

After I said goodbye to Yuan Ming politely, I turned around and went back to my room.When passing by the pear garden, I saw that there was no one in the pavilion.I don't know if it's because I chatted with Yuan Ming for too long, or the two women talked too little.

"Little master?" An Feng's questioning voice interrupted my thoughts.

"What's wrong?" I asked blankly.

"Why didn't the little master go to rest? Are you worried about Master Sheng?"

"How could Anfeng think so?"

An Feng chuckled, and said helplessly: "An Feng has been with my little master since I was a child. When I was young, master, you liked to sit alone in the Liyuan Garden, but at that time you were in a daze. But since you met Lord Sheng, you stayed in the Liyuan Garden The number of times is increasing, and the daze has turned into thinking—every time I frown."

"That's not because of Chen Hui."

"If the little master says it's not, then it's not."

"Tsk, it seems like I'm lying!" I looked at An Feng dissatisfied and said, "Why do you always think I'm thinking about her?"

An Feng pretended to cough and said with a smile: "Little master, it's late at night and you should rest earlier. Master Sheng has already returned to his room."

"Really? What did Chu Yuan say? Is she doubting our relationship with Chen Hui?"

"I think so. She tested Lord Sheng, but Lord Sheng responded calmly."

"It's not appropriate to deny it now, it's better to be ambiguous. If you can't see the situation correctly, you won't act rashly."

"Do you want to tell Master Sheng?"

"No, she's much smarter than me, so she's already thought of it."

"Today's Lord Sheng protects his master very tightly."

I knew without looking back that Anfeng must be smirking.

"You're the one who talks too much! Do you feel at ease when I marry her?" I poked An Feng's forehead vigorously and said.

"Yes."

"...Get lost!" I closed the door and fell directly on the bed.

It's been a long night, and I don't know how those big shots fell asleep peacefully.For such a small city, I have worked so hard that I can't sleep at night.And they own a country, their psychological quality is really good.

"Little master, everyone is here." An Feng helped me tidy up my clothes while telling me the situation in the hall, "The Lord Chu arrived very early, not as late as yesterday."

"Go out. You have to show any tricks before you can deal with it."

In the hall, those "big shots" were chatting with each other.And those four people drank tea alone, didn't look at anyone, and didn't say anything.

"I'm sorry for the long wait, I hope you adults don't blame me."

"Major General, you are welcome. The hour has not arrived yet, I was the one who arrived earlier." Chu Yuan raised his head from the teacup, and looked at me with a smile on his face.

What does this Chu Yuan... want to do?Weird.

"Thank you, Lord Chu, for your understanding."

"The general summoned us the next day, what's the matter?" Chu Yuan opened his lips more than halfway, but was interrupted by Chen Hui.Chu Yuan smiled, and continued drinking tea indifferently.

"There is an official matter in Zhonghu City, and there is also a private matter." I stood up and cupped my hands and said to Xiao Han, "Master Xiao, I heard that you are attacking Youguan, right?"

"That's true."

"Then... I wonder if Lord Xiao is willing to let Mo Xu participate in this battle?"

Those princes and city lords gasped and looked at us in surprise.

"Oh? The Major General wants to join the Xiao Kingdom?" As soon as Yuan Ming said this, those fools snorted and looked at me with displeasure, while some looked at me mockingly as if they were watching a joke.

"Zhonghu City is absolutely neutral. It goes without saying. This general is participating in this battle in his own name."

"Personally, does that mean the Mo family?" Yuan Ming was really "vicious" and refused to let me go with a single word.

"It can be said like this."

The weeds immediately exploded, and all kinds of ugly words came out, all mocking me desperately for breaking my promise.

I glanced sideways at An Feng, and he understood immediately. He struck the thunderbolt and roared, "Quiet!" The Mohist army guarding the hall also struck at the same time. The sound of metal colliding was like thunder, and the hall was instantly quiet. .

This Mohist army has all been on the battlefield, and the bloody smell is still very heavy.At this time, they were all staring at those grasses with murderous intent, how could those pampered patriarchs bear it?The unified movements are not only well-trained, but also deterrent - the sound of the weapons is neat and thick, even if the number of people is smaller, it is still possible to scare them.

"Youguan is the border of the Kingdom of Jin. If you can't take back the land of the Kingdom of Jin, what face do you have to meet the late emperor? No matter what the world is like now, the Mo family followed the late emperor, and the former emperor's land must be complete! It must not fall into the hands of foreigners! This trip also hopes that Lord Xiao will allow me to give my Mohist army a chance to be loyal to the late emperor." After I finished speaking, I was about to kneel down and make a big salute, but Xiao Han held me back.She said: "The Mo family is utterly loyal, and this king has no reason to refuse. With the help of generals on this trip, we can also regain the former emperor's land faster."

"Mo Xu is going as a Mohist, so he is no longer a major general. The hundred soldiers who go with him, the Lord Xiao can also dispatch at will. As long as we can retake Youguan, our Mohist army will not fear life and death."

"The major general is truly a hero. The Mo family is indeed loyal. This king admires him very much."

"It's our duty to take back the former emperor's land from foreigners. Sheng Guo sent soldiers to the young general, hoping that the young general can take back Youguan as soon as possible." Huh?What is Chen Hui sending troops to me at this time?

"The state of Chu is also willing to send a team of soldiers, General Yu." Chu Yuan was still lazily leaning on his chair, even talking about dispatching like a game.

"Then Mo Xu thanked the two kings first."

"This is where the righteousness lies." Chen Hui looked at Yuan Ming and said, "Master Yuan, are you right?"

It turned out to be to test Yuanming!He had suspected that he was in collusion with the Nanzu before, and if he didn't send it, he must be confirming this guess.

Yuan Ming still had a gentle smile on his face. I thought he would pause for a while, but I didn't expect him to say boldly immediately: "How can our country of Yuan be neglected in matters of righteousness. Our country of Yuan will also send troops to the young general. "

How straightforward he was made me a little puzzled.If there is no collusion, it is naturally the best.If there is really a collusion, then the people he sent will definitely be in a dilemma, whether to fight or not to fight - we will definitely find out if we don't fight, and we will tell the world that he will definitely break the trust of the people.In any case, his army had to watch at all times.

"Then this meeting is over, and Mo Xu will go to the front with Lord Xiao."

"I'll wait for the good news." Chu Yuan's phoenix eyes curved, and he smiled at me very gracefully.

"I will live up to everyone's high expectations." I bowed slightly and said, "Mo Xu's private affairs have been delayed for a long time, please don't blame me. Anfeng, send the things to the adults sitting here."

Immediately, Anfeng handed over to them the documents we had already drafted concerning trade matters in Zhonghu City.

After those "adults" took the paperwork, you looked at me and I looked at you, and they refused to write for a long time.And I was not in a hurry, drinking my own tea and eating pastries.

"Anfeng, try it too." I handed the pastry to An Feng and said, "Isn't the cook in the Mo Mansion a lot better? The pastry is getting more and more delicious."

"Yes, it does taste better."

"Major General likes pastries?" Yuan Ming spoke to me very naturally.

"It is said that the general loves spicy food, but I didn't expect to love this sweet food." Xiao Han looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said leisurely.

"Major General must only love this sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Chu Yuan leaned back on his chair and said, "If not, from yesterday's dinner to now, how come this mansion only has sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

"Master Chu really doesn't observe very much." Chen Hui glanced at Chu Yuan and said.

"This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is really good, the cook in the Mo Mansion is really not simple." Xiao Han said to himself, completely ignoring the swords and swords beside him.

"Speaking of which, Chinese goji berries are pretty good, why don't you bring some to the major general?" Yuan Ming waved his fan as usual.

"Then please bring some from your country's merchants."

After Yuan Ming listened, he smiled boldly and signed the document with a pen. Some "adults" also signed the document proudly.

"Our country's sweet-scented osmanthus is also good, let's make some candied sweet-scented osmanthus for the major general." Chen Hui also signed the document.

"People in our country don't like sweets, but chili is the best, and the spices are also unique. I hope the major general will like it." Xiao Han also signed the document.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Chu Yuan.And that person was still drinking tea leisurely, not paying attention to his surroundings at all.

I smiled and didn't care.

"My lord has a proposal." Chu Yuan's voice drew everyone's attention.

Is this trick finally going to work? "What is the master of Chu's opinion?"

"This king wants to marry the young general as his wife."

In an instant, there were many voices in the lobby, some fell off chairs, and some exclaimed.There are also those who snort coldly like Chen Hui and Xiao Han, and of course there are those who spout water like me.

"There are many beauties in the harem of the lord of Chu, not inferior to this general, not to mention the beauty, this general is far behind."

"The major general made the three thousand pink and white colorless. If the major general marries me, he will be the empress, and the harem king will also be disbanded."

"Hey, Lord Chu disbanded the harem? This is really a fairy tale, who doesn't know the heart of the Lord Chu's love of beauty?" Chen Hui snorted coldly, looking very unhappy.

"The Major General's face has never been seen before, and the beauty-loving Lord Chu made such a promise. I'm really anxious." Xiao Han frowned and looked at Chu Yuan with contempt.

"Doesn't this prove that the king's love for the Major General is no longer worldly? I, Chu Yuan, don't care about the Major General's appearance. If the General is willing to marry me, Chu Yuan will clean himself up and love the General alone in this life."

"How many people has the Lord Chu said this to?" Chen Hui had a slight smile on his face, and his eyes were slightly vacant.

"Only the general is missing."

The atmosphere in the hall is getting weirder and weirder, and I feel a little bit on pins and needles.

"It turns out that the lord of Chu is here to propose marriage." Yuan Ming's iconic heroic laughter sounded again.He put away his fan, no longer pretending to be gentle and refined, and his upright body was revealing his aggressiveness.Yuan Ming smiled and said to me: "Actually, this king also has plans for this trip. I wonder if the major general can marry me."

"Hey, isn't it still early for the Lantern Festival?" Xiao Han couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I've already met a beautiful woman, so why wait so long? A fair lady and a gentleman are so good, why did you spend time?" Yuan Ming smiled wildly.

"Master Yuan is right, so the king also come to ask for a kiss." Chen Hui no longer stared at Chu Yuan, but looked at me "gently" and said, "Major General, would you like to marry me?"

"This is wonderful, how do you choose the major general?" I think Yuan Ming came to watch the play from the very beginning!

"Why don't you invite Mo's family army to come out and take a look?"

"My father devoted himself to seeking the Buddha, so it is inconvenient to show up."

Could it be that Chu Yuan wanted to inquire about his father's whereabouts?After all, why would she want to marry me if she's so sassy?My appearance really can't compare with her harem - as far as I know, there are several stunning beauties in the harem.Presumably it was because of the power of Zhonghu City. The combat power of the Mohist army and the prestige of the Mohist, no matter which one can make their national strength several times stronger.

Although I was puzzled, I was also thinking about Chu Yuan's motives.But vanity is still disappointing, exploding like an exponential function.To be proposed by these excellent rulers—it is definitely not a mediocre person who can lead a country, and I still feel a little smug in my heart.But of course I won't agree.

"The Mohists said that we have to mourn for the late emperor for ten years. It's only halfway through now, how can there be a happy event? There are so many good people in the world, and I hope the lords will find someone else."

Chu Yuan stood up with a smile and said, "Then when the ten-year period expires, Chu Yuan will come to propose marriage again. I hope the Major General can give an accurate answer then."

"Hahaha! Then I'll wait until the deadline expires to come back. Major General Wang won't turn me away."

After the two finished speaking, they both left the lobby.Those scumbags also signed the papers, and then left after saying some hypocritical polite words.

"Heh, the Major General is really lovable. It seems that it is very difficult for the king to marry the Major General." Chen Hui gave me a "glamorous" look and said, "When the ten years expire, it must be extremely exciting." Ah." Then, Chen Hui left without even looking at me.

Oh, it's my fault too?

"Major General." When I was feeling sorry for myself, Xiao Han suddenly called me.Only then did I remember that Xiao Han hadn't left yet.

"When will General Xiao leave? I'll ask people to prepare earlier."

"How about tomorrow?"

"Oh? Why not today?"

"The major general left before those wild wolves had left, so the sheep pen will not suffer?"

"Hey, sheepfold? That's not necessarily true." Zhonghu City is a sheepfold?It must be a wolf's den!These wolves can't beat us.

Xiao Han smiled and said, "This king underestimated."

"You should smile more, how beautiful you look when you smile!" I blurted out as soon as my mind got hot.

Xiao Han was taken aback for a moment, then coughed dryly, and then resumed his original face and said: "The king is going back to his room to rest first, the major general is ready, just call me again."

I looked at the back of Xiao Han leaving, and thought of Xiao Han when I was injured in Youguan.The last picture I saw before I lost consciousness was her holding my anxious face.At that time, she was much more expressive, not as cold as she is now.

Has the current situation created a hero and changed the nature of a hero?

The author has something to say:

It's so late again... What a shame!
