Chapter 287 The Little Nun 15
Chapter 287 The Little Nun 15
After mediating the conflict, Xue Zhen walked over to Ling Yi and said, "These two horses have quite a temper. Lao Liu used to be kept in a stable in another place. Now that he's been moved here, they're bound to fight."
"Tomorrow I'll have someone partition off this stable so they can have private rooms."
The general's warhorse is naturally fit for a single room, but now that it suddenly has a roommate, it's bound to throw a tantrum.
But even a general has his ways. He simply added walls to the large apartment to turn it into a shared room, making it very clear that he didn't care whether people lived there or not. From now on, these two people will only be able to fight each other across the wall.
"Or should I move the fifth brother out?" Ling Yi said politely.
"No need. It's the place that Lao Wu is used to living. Just because Lao Liu is here doesn't mean we have to give it space." Xue Zhen felt he was quite reasonable. Just because the warhorse has a new owner doesn't mean it shouldn't be given good treatment. The groom is used to it, and suddenly changing him might cause problems.
Ling Yi: "..."
Goodness, the general's name is really simple and unpretentious.
"Thank you, General." She cupped her hands in thanks again.
Xue Zhen: "..."
His eyes, which had been focused on the warhorse, finally came to his side and looked at Ling Yi: "You are not genuine."
Ling Yi: "?"
I was just saying thank you, why did I get personally attacked?
Does being a general give you the right to criticize people at will?
"You don't thank me at all, just talk the talk, how hypocritical." The general didn't notice her smile froze and continued, "Your smile is too fake, I don't like it."
He has always had a keen intuition, so naturally he couldn't miss the perfunctory attitude in Ling Yi's smile, which made him quite unhappy.
He gave her his favorite warhorse and protected her master and junior sister, so why won't he even give her a genuine smile?
The general, who never keeps anything to himself, spoke his mind immediately when he was unhappy.
Ling Yi looked at him with a forced smile: "General, has anyone ever told you that you're not very good at speaking?"
If you don't speak, no one will take advantage of you for being mute.
Xue Zhen nodded: "Yes, I killed them all."
He was the most senior member of the rebel army, and anyone who dared to contradict him was a traitor.
Ling Yi: "..."
Fine, fine, you're a tyrant in a chaotic world, huh? We'll punish you sooner or later.
Xue Zhen: "..."
This guy is so unreliable. He just told her the truth, so why is she unhappy now?
Xue Zhen wanted to punch her chest and say, "A real man should speak his mind, instead of keeping it all bottled up inside and crying by the window like a woman."
But he did have some intelligence. He glanced at Ling Yi's chest and moved his fist up to her shoulder: "You're so unpleasant. Just say what's wrong. I'm not going to kill you!"
When they met, he felt that this strong woman was to his liking, and as long as she didn't cause trouble, he would definitely not kill her.
Ling Yi felt a throbbing sensation in her temples; she felt like her menopause was coming on early because of the anger.
"General, you'd better stop talking, it's annoying me."
If you have something to say, just say it. Then shut up.
Xue Zhen: "..."
Why are you so angry?
He's the leader of the rebel army, how can you be so disrespectful to him?
He frowned, his thick, dark brows furrowed in displeasure, but he obediently turned to look at his warhorse and said nothing more.
This sight made Ling Yi feel like she had punched a piece of cotton.
She's so well-behaved, you can't even complain that he's deliberately trying to annoy you.
Ling Yi gazed at his tall, straight back and took two deep breaths: Forget it, forget it, I won't argue with a fool.
The two men watched the warhorses eat in silence, until the groom who was feeding them trembled with fear. Xue Zhencai then said, "From now on, you just need to take care of them."
After saying that, he turned around and said, "Aren't you going to check on your camp?"
This man is quite carefree; he arranged for his men to be stationed at the camp and then never went to check on them again, seemingly unafraid that any problems might arise.
Ling Yi smiled and said, "I have complete trust in the General's actions. It's alright to check it later."
Disagreements are good; they lead to integration, and incidentally, it also helps to catch any spies who shouldn't be there.
Xue Zhen frowned: "You're lying again."
How can this person be so dishonest?
Ling Yi choked again. Does this guy use his guts from brain to butt? Why can't he think outside the box?
She suddenly quickened her pace, trying to shake the person off.
Xue Zhen nodded: "They seem a bit anxious."
He was tall and slender, a typical fierce general. One of his steps was almost twice the length of Ling Yi's, and catching up with her took no effort at all.
Where the two walked, the patrolling soldiers all stepped aside to salute, while in the tents on both sides, people were also watching this scene cautiously.
"Brother, who is that woman?" In a tent, the two brothers, Zhao Da and Zhao Er, watched the two figures disappearing quickly through the tent cracks. Zhao Er asked in a low voice.
The brothers were formerly two captains in the local army. They gathered a group of people and raised a flag to rebel. Because they hadn't done anything too outrageous in their hometown, they weren't killed by the rebel army. Instead, they were given a chance to be granted amnesty and became lieutenants in the rebel army. Now they are in charge of their three thousand old brothers.
Although they joined the rebel army, it's impossible to say they were truly convinced.
After all, the rebel leader was mentally unstable. Not only did he forbid them from preying on the villagers, he also forbade them from having women indiscriminately. The feeling of having a mother-in-law above them made the two brothers extremely uncomfortable.
The silver was given to them voluntarily by the local gentry, and the women offered themselves to them willingly. Why shouldn't they be allowed to enjoy it?
If they weren't outmatched, they would have already torn down the general's tent and shown him the wrath of a common man.
Therefore, among Xue Zhen's group of cunning subordinates, these two definitely belonged to the active surrender faction.
They were thinking that once Xue Zhen died or suffered a defeat, they would take the opportunity to seek refuge with the group in the south, where they had heard that the treatment was much better.
As for why they should wait until Xue Zhen's incident before seeking refuge, well, that's obvious...
Who would want to be enemies with a tiger that's on the rise and coming down from the mountain? Do they think they have too much life ahead of them?
Moreover, those who dared to jump out first had already been killed by him.
The two brothers didn't want to become the chicken in the story of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, so they had no choice but to wait for the right opportunity.
They had initially seen a glimmer of hope, but they worried that if the stalemate continued, morale might waver, since Xue Zhen's prestige was maintained through victories in battle after battle.
Without victory, how could he possibly unite these unruly and scheming subordinates?
We were waiting peacefully, so how did this accident happen?
A new team suddenly entered the camp. Although it only numbered three hundred, it was enough to alert Zhao Er.
After all, this is a crucial time for wealth and honor, and he doesn't want to be affected by anything.
Zhao Da glared at his impatient younger brother: "What are you afraid of? She's just a woman, who knows, she might be Xue Zhen's lover?"
