Liu Xin guessed that Zhu Rong had gone far away, so she smiled and said, "Those who know me are filial piety. There are indeed some things that are not convenient for her to know."
Guo Jia smoothed the few strands of short beard that he had just grown under his chin, and said with a smile on his face: "Could it be that the lord wants to kill all these barbarians..."
At this point, his voice suddenly dropped and he made a beheading gesture.
Liu Xin didn't expect Guo Jia to be so cruel and ruthless, and couldn't help but be shocked. It wasn't that he had never had such thoughts, but after listening to Zhu Rong's words on the way here, he had basically given up on his plan to drive out all the barbarians.
Seeing Guo Jia's confident expression, Liu Xin couldn't help but shook her head and said: "Fengxiao, you guessed it wrong this time. Those barbarian soldiers are actually just ordinary people from various barbarian tribes. As long as they are willing to return to our Han Dynasty,
Rule and obey the management of the local officials, and I will give them a wide berth. There is something else that I don’t want Miss Zhu to know."
After a pause, Liu Xin continued: "There are hundreds of large and small barbarian tribes in Central and South China, and the chief culprit is only the Meng family of Jianning. Zilong, come here, I will give you a difficult task. You must win."
Take Meng Huo’s head!”
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei agreed in unison. But Feng Lie stood up and said, "My lord, I am also willing to fight Meng Huo to the death!"
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "I already know General Feng's loyalty and bravery. But in my impression, you don't seem to be Meng Huo's opponent. If you can take off Meng Huo's head, you will still be credited. However,
First of all, you must try to protect yourself, and don’t act rashly!”
Feng Lie was secretly happy in his heart, clasping his hands into fists, he promised: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will act with caution!"
Guo Jia frowned, leaned forward and asked, "Is this what the Lord doesn't want Miss Zhu to know about?"
The eyes of Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Feng Lie all fell on Liu Xin. Just now they were only focused on grabbing the order so that they could win the first prize, without thinking about it carefully. Now after hearing Guo Jia's words, they all became a little confused.
Back then, the three families of Zhu, Meng, and Feng formed an alliance and advanced and retreated together. But now Meng Huo not only broke up with Zhu Ding, but also seriously injured Zhu Ding. The alliance of the three families has naturally collapsed. Of course, there is no reason to let Meng Huo go. What is the need?
Hiding it from Zhu Rong?
Noticing the strange looks from everyone, Liu Xin coughed and said, "You may not know yet, but Miss Zhu and Meng Huo grew up together. This and that, they can be said to be childhood sweethearts. So, there are some things that she is not allowed to know.
Okay. Okay, this matter involves personal privacy, don’t ask too much, just do as I say. If there is nothing else, let’s leave.”
Everyone looked at each other with doubts, but no one could say for sure about this kind of thing. Only Feng Lie disagreed. If he said they grew up together, he should be included. Why didn't he see how good the relationship between Zhu Rong and Meng Huo was?
However, Liu Xin had already issued an "expulsion order" and everyone had nothing particularly important to report, so they all resigned.
As soon as Dian Wei walked out of the tent, he saw Zhu Rong waving to him not far away. Dian Wei's wife Feng Yingying and Zhu Rong had played together since childhood. After Zhu Rong arrived in Xiangyang, he went to his home twice and recognized her.
Dianman became a godson and was even more envious of Feng Yingying who was pregnant again.
Seeing Zhu Rong's move, Dian Wei couldn't turn a blind eye, so he had to walk over slowly, thinking about what to say if she asked about the content of the discussion just now. Although Zhu Rong and Liu Xin have a special relationship
, but the status of the discussion needs to be kept confidential, and cannot be disclosed casually even to the closest people. Moreover, Liu Xin originally wanted to hide it from her, and Dian Wei was able to grasp this.
Zhu Rong looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and said quietly: "General Dian, I have something to ask of the general, and I hope you can help me."
When Dian Wei heard that she was not inquiring about the content of the discussion, he felt relieved and said: "Miss Zhu and the sisters of Jian Naiqing are about to become Dian's sister-in-law. If you have anything to do, just ask me, why do you need to be so open-minded?"
."
Zhu Rong laughed and said, "Okay, this is what you said. I want you not to hurt Meng Huo's life on the battlefield."
Dian Wei was stunned. Isn't this contrary to Liu Xin's order? Could it be that what Liu Xin said just now is true, that Zhu Rong's love for Meng Huo has not been broken? But that's not right. He was also there that time three years ago.
, Zhu Rong’s favorite is clearly Liu Xin. Dian Wei looked at Zhu Rong in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and felt that he could not disobey Liu Xin’s order no matter what, so he said: "Miss Zhu, on the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, Dian Wei
I can’t guarantee that. Besides, Meng Huo injured your father, how can you not avenge him? I wish you best wishes, girl, not to defend him anymore."
Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Meng Huo is a thief. I wish I could skin him, rip his tendons, and eat his flesh. How can I defend him?"
Dian Wei listened to Zhu Rong's firm words, and his expression didn't seem to be hypocritical. He couldn't help but scratch his head, as if he understood something, and said seriously: "I understand, Miss Zhu wants to avenge her father with her own hands. Although Miss Zhu is a hero, but that Meng
Huo has a lot of brute strength. Please forgive Dian for speaking bluntly. I’m afraid the girl is no match for him. No wonder my eldest brother..."
Seeing Dian Wei hesitate to speak, Zhu Rong asked, "What's wrong with your elder brother?"
Dian Wei thought about what he almost let slip just now, how dare he stay here any longer, and said hurriedly: "Nothing, nothing. I wish you a good wishes, Miss. Dian is busy with military affairs, so I won't talk to you anymore. Farewell, farewell!"
Zhu Rong saw Dian Wei turning around to leave. The matter was urgent and he couldn't care about it anymore. He quickly shouted: "Dian Wei, stop!"
Dian Wei had no choice but to stop his steps, but did not look back. He looked like he was ready to run away at any moment, waiting for Zhu Rong to finish his words before running away.
Zhu Rong knew that he could no longer hide it, so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "General Dian, if you killed Meng Huo, then Zhu Rong would have no choice but to marry you."
"Ah!" Dian Wei couldn't stand and almost fell to the ground. Just kidding, this is trying to steal a woman from his eldest brother. Give him ten courages, and he wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Dian Wei can't do it anymore.
After walking forward, he quickly turned back and bowed to Zhu Rong: "Miss Zhu, you can't harm me!"
Zhu Rongfeng's eyes widened and she said angrily: "What? Am I ugly?"
Dian Wei hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, Miss Zhu, that's not what Dian meant. Dian said that if that happened, I wouldn't be able to explain it to my eldest brother."
Zhu Rong snorted and said, "That's pretty much it. In short, you must remember it firmly, you cannot kill Meng Huo."
Sweat broke out on Dian Wei's forehead. He was not thinking about killing Meng Huo and winning the first victory. He said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I promise not to kill Meng Huo, let them kill him."
Zhu Rong stamped his feet fiercely and said sternly: "No! No one can kill Meng Huo!"
Dian Wei said with a look of embarrassment: "Miss Zhu, Dian can only promise not to hurt his life, but he can't stop others from doing it! Besides, if Meng Huo is not eliminated and the war continues, this man really cannot be left alone.
"
Zhu Rong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said disdainfully: "Who wants to keep him? It's just that none of you are allowed to kill him. If you want to kill him, you can only let one person kill him."
Dian Wei frowned and said: "Since the girl is determined to take revenge with her own hands, tell Zilong and the others that if there is a chance, they will capture Meng Huo alive and hand her over to her. As a girl, it is better not to risk your life."
That’s right. If the girl is injured somewhere, we will not be able to explain it to my eldest brother even if I die."
As long as others regard her as Liu Xin's woman, no matter how angry Zhu Rong is, he can dissipate it. After hearing Dian Wei's words, Zhu Rong blushed and secretly cursed, what a pig head, that's all.
He still didn’t understand, so he had to make it clear to me? However, her tone had obviously softened, and she whispered: “General Dian, what I mean is that Meng Huo must be killed, but only by my brother.
Come and kill!"
Dian Wei was shocked. Although he believed that Liu Xin's martial arts skills were definitely superior to Meng Huo's, he rarely saw Liu Xin take action, especially on the battlefield. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how could he need Liu Xin to charge into battle? Dian Wei just wanted to do it again.
After explaining a few words to Zhu Rong, he suddenly heard the sound of a drum outside the Chinese army's tent. It was the sound of a gathering drum. It was obvious that there was some urgent military situation. At that moment, he didn't bother to say more to Zhu Rong. He hurriedly raised his fists and walked towards the tent.
Go.
From what Dian Wei said just now, Zhu Rong could vaguely hear something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was. Seeing the generals in the camp walking towards the tent, Zhu Rong also turned around and returned to his tent.
Facing Zhu Yan, Zhu Yu ordered: "Quick, bring me my robe!"
When Zhu Rong walked into the big tent, he saw a group of generals wearing helmets and lining up on both sides. Liu Xin was sitting at the top with a golden sword. The whole tent was silent. Zhu Rong had never seen such a formation before, and again
Not knowing where I should stand, I couldn't help but feel in a dilemma.
Liu Xin wanted to ask her out, but thinking that she was a girl after all, she couldn't embarrass her too much in front of so many people, so she could only frown and said: "Miss Zhu, stand behind me."
When Zhu Rong heard Liu Xin asking her to come in, Zhu Rong couldn't help but rejoiced. He quickly took the spear and walked into the tent with his head held high. As expected, he was very heroic. When passing by Liu Xin, Zhu Rong did not forget to whisper in a low voice: "You agreed to call me."
My sister’s things don’t count.”
Liu Xin glared at her and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense in the big tent!"
Zhu Rong didn't dare to say anything, and quickly walked behind Liu Xin and stood upright, just like the spear in her hand.
Liu Xin stopped paying attention to her and said to the generals: "I just came to report on the horseback. Countless men and horses rushed out of the enemy camp and were heading this way. What do you think?"
Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said: "Back to my lord, the enemy and our armies have been facing each other here for more than ten days. Our army has taken the initiative to challenge us, but the enemy has always avoided fighting. This is because our army's bows and arrows are sharp, and they cannot get close to our stronghold.
If you want to rush into the camp before, you will be destined to die! The general will think that the enemy is just bluffing."
Liu Xin turned to Guo Jia and asked: "Fengxiao, what do you think of this matter?"
Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "Liu Dan, Meng Huo and others have been defeated for several battles in a row. It's not that they don't know how powerful our army is. There must be something fishy when we raise our troops now."
When Zhu Rong heard the word "Meng Huo", he became angry and said loudly: "No matter what the strange thing is, go and take a look and you will know!"
