That's it, after about two months of long journey, I took my subordinates Agui and Axin to Jinling City, known as the "Imperial Capital of Six Dynasties".
Jinling was first recorded in history when Gou Jian, the king of Yue, built the city under the Rain Flower Terrace. It is an ancient city that stands on the bank of the Yangtze River and has experienced vicissitudes of life. It is also a cultural city of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, singing and dancing.
Of course, I am definitely not here to play, because I shoulder the important task assigned to me by the military advisor - to assassinate and replace the soldiers sent by Han Jin.
"Every word and deed of the general may be related to the fate of this decisive battle. If we want to defeat the anti-Zheng alliance, the general must not make any mistakes!" Military Advisor Yu repeatedly warned me, which made me breathless.
I think back when Emperor Tai Zheng unified the world and divided the country among the Three Heroic Generals. Today, hundreds of years later, there are people in the court who are also recognized as the "Three Heroic Generals".
That is: Mu Mingrui, Ni Hao, Gao Yu
These three generals are all demon kings who kill without batting an eye, and at the same time they have great strategies in their minds. According to my opinion, any one of them can do better than me, a subordinate general. After all, Military Advisor Yu is young and does not know people well.
That's right.
Although he is deeply trusted by his lord, Lou is willing to mess with him no matter what. But on the other hand, I am very worried. Is it really okay to trust others so easily?
When I think that every move I make will be related to the fate of this war, I can't help but feel like a stone is stuck in my heart.
The three of us found an inn. It was the largest city in Jiangdong, and the cost was so high. It cost forty taels of silver per person. In order to protect my safety, Agui and Axin had to guard the door.
outside.
It was time to rest. According to reports from spies, Han Jin arrived at Jinling City in about two days to hand over the army. At that time, he went out of the city to assassinate him without anyone noticing.
King Wu Huahao especially liked the bright lights at night, so he canceled the night ban without permission. There was a lot of wine and lights inside and outside the house. The noise of pedestrians and the laughter of children disturbed my peace.
It was really speechless that a hotel was built in this bustling place. I helplessly covered myself with a quilt and wanted to sleep as soon as possible.
Once people rest, they tend to have random thoughts. I was in plain clothes, rolling under the quilt. It was like what happened in the past, like a piece of smoke, drifting away quickly, but deeply affecting my heart.
The so-called marriage to Wang Li was not voluntary at all, it was just a cruel political marriage. It's not that she was mean to me, but there was always an indescribable pressure when getting along with her. I had to be controlled by him in everything.
Even if I catch a glimpse of a woman outside, I will always be laughed at when I get home.
Most appreciable

What makes me angry is that my handsome man can't beat her! Hey! This guy has endless brute strength. Every time I quarrel with her, I'm like a chicken - at her mercy.
I couldn't communicate with her at all, and I didn't know who to say what I was thinking, but I always felt lonely and lonely. I am an introverted and upright person, but I don't know how many people I have offended, let alone my close friends.
But I can't think about it anymore. If I continue like this, I won't be able to sleep well, and it will delay important events.
"It's not that I love Feng Chen...it seems that I was misled by my predecessor~"
This song, like a warm current, suddenly appeared and flowed gently into my heart. The whispering sound of the pipa plucked my heartstrings. This natural sound made me intoxicated and unable to extricate myself. I stuck my head out and greedily
Listening to the singing coming from nowhere.
What makes me regretful is that just when I cheered up, the singing seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with me, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
I was so anxious that I was scratching my head and my whole body was in pain. It was torture to have such unfulfilled thoughts. I ran to the window in embarrassment and looked out. Opposite my bedroom, I vaguely saw a graceful woman through the window paper. Holding the pipa in her arms, she kept sighing.
I concluded that the song must have come from his mouth, and I had to see her, so I jumped down desperately. I almost jumped! I was on the second floor, but this couldn't stop my anxiety, so I had to rush quickly. Leave the room and tell Agui and Axin to wait here.
Who would have thought that Agui was a little unhappy: "My two brothers are here to protect the general. If something happens to the general, how can we afford it?"
Ashin also nodded in agreement, these two boys were going to ruin my good deed! I had no choice but to ask them to follow me.
When I walked to the restaurant, I saw a group of women posing, standing in front of the entrance and shouting outside: "Master, come and have fun~"
What kind of restaurant is this? This is a brothel! Hey! I am an upright gentleman, how can I go in and out of a place like this? If I go in, what will Agui and Axin think of me?
"Oh, this uncle~" Just when I was thinking wildly, a woman with heavy makeup came over and took my arm: "If you are in a bad mood, how about letting the sisters stay with you for the night?"
If these were two men, they must be lustful and unable to extricate themselves at this moment. But what kind of person am I, Lou Ning? To be honest, just looking at her makes me feel sick. Her little face is so white that she looks like she crawled out of a flour bag. Looks like. His lips are red, as if he drank pig blood.
"General, you come to a place like this in the middle of the night..." Ashin looked at me in confusion. At this moment, my image of a tall hero in his mind had completely collapsed.
When the woman saw this, she threw herself into my arms: "It turns out that the uncle is a general.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
What a great thing it is to protect the country. They say that beauties are worthy of heroes. My sisters will definitely be worthy of generals."
The two children, Agui and Axin, turned their heads and peeked at me shyly from time to time. At this point, I had no choice but to continue. I bravely asked, "May I ask, Miss, I just heard a song down there, and the sound It's crisp and graceful, I wonder if it was sung by the lady?"
"Uncle, please come in. I'll tell you when I come in."
I got angry and pushed her away: "I'm asking you something serious, so don't talk to me about anything!"
"Ouch..." This shameless man came over again, stretched out his finger and pointed at my mouth: "Master, don't be angry, please say a few words and listen."
I vaguely remembered two sentences, but after being teased like this by her, they all disappeared. I had no choice but to slap my head desperately trying to remember: "What is the dust...the pastoral fog is coming?"
"It's not the pastoral fog, it's the misfortune of the front end...'Isn't it because I'm in love with the wind and dust, I seem to be misled by the front end', is this the song I'm looking for?"
"Yes, yes!" I was so excited that I subconsciously grabbed her hand: "That's the one!"
If a girl from a good family were to have her hand grabbed by me like this, she would definitely be blushing, agitated, and extremely ashamed. But this guy is a brothel girl, so why are there such taboos? In this way, it becomes my fault.
"Sister Yan Rui composed this song. Which of us brothel girls can't sing it? If you like it, can I go in and sing two verses for you?"
In order to find the answer, I had to pay money and go in with her to listen to the music. Although the woman made people uncomfortable by scratching her head and posing, she had a unique talent in singing. She sang and danced, but she didn't feel the same as before. This woman
It's definitely not a glimpse behind the window.
Then there were five or six more women, and a hundred flowers bloomed, each showing its beauty, but the fragrance of not a single flower could touch my heart.
The man was also annoyed: "Sir, you don't want to play with our sisters, do you?"
Good guy, I can fall out of love faster than I can flip through a book. I have no interest in it at all. I dropped another silver coin from my bag and prepared to leave here quietly.
At this moment, another burst of pipa singing sounded, and the graceful natural sound once again gently touched my heartstrings:
