Back Off, Let Me Come

Although Gong Xiqiu had received the news in advance, he couldn't help but change his face when he heard the order to withdraw troops.

After leading his troops back, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. He rushed to his adoptive father angrily and heard the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra before he even got close. Opening the door, hot air mixed with the aroma of wine and rouge hit your face. He said loudly: "Father--"

The old general put down his wine bottle.

Not surprisingly, he said: "A Nian is here, sit down."

He raised his eyes and saw that Gong Xiqiu was still dressed in armor.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the weapon on his waist and frowned slightly.

His expression suddenly turned unhappy.

"A-Nian, what do you look like?"

Gong Xiqiu casually took off his weapon and threw it to the soldier standing by the door. He strode forward and said anxiously: "Father, the alliance army is just a bunch of rabble. Gathering the power of all the generals and eliminating them is like picking something out of a bag. Why should we withdraw our troops?" ?”

The old general thought Gong Xiqiu was going to say something.

This was not unexpected, it was Gong Xiqiu who said it.

But being mentally prepared and actually hearing it are two completely different emotions. The old general put down his wine bottle with an unpleasant clang and said with a stern face: "A-Nian, you are getting more and more unseemly! All we have to do is obey the order. Don’t ask any other questions.”

The staff member sitting at the lower right didn't even move his eyelids.

Gong Xiqiu stopped talking: "But -"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a somewhat familiar veteran. Gong Xiqiu cast his cold eyes over him - he was very familiar with this old guy. He is an old man who has followed his adoptive father for many years. He has no skills but is good at flattering and causing trouble. In addition, he is also related to the old general, so he is used to relying on his elders.

He said: "Major General Gongxi's words are so light. Before the expedition, those heroic words were still in my ears. What was the result? I lost more than 2,000 elite soldiers in the battle with the rebels. I failed to send out the troops. I brought my troops back in despair. The losses were heavy. What are you saying now that 'the Alliance Army is a rabble'... Are you trying to shirk responsibility for your own inability and fear of accountability?"

Others present were silent.

These days, they have been feasting every day, and their bodies have become tired. It's not that they don't want to fight and make meritorious deeds, but even Gong Xiqiu can't get any advantage from the alliance army, so they are a little worried, secretly spreading the wrong news - the alliance army is still quite tyrannical.

Coupled with the order from above to withdraw troops——

They just took advantage of the situation.

As for the run on Gong Xiqiu?

Hey, there are a lot of people who can't stand Gong Xiqiu's barbaric behavior. It's just because of Gong Xiqiu's unbeatable record and the veteran general who defends him everywhere that they have to endure it. Now I have the opportunity to watch "Warrior" jump out and ridicule Gong Xiqiu, tsk tsk tsk, you can't miss such a good opportunity to watch a movie.

Each of them seemed to be lowering his head to taste the wine, but in fact, he was secretly raising his ears to "listen" to the excitement. Some of them were more "foresighted" and secretly gathering strength - if the barbarian Gong Xiqiu suddenly went crazy, he could evacuate as soon as possible. , so as not to be affected.

To their disappointment, Gong Xiqiu did not get angry.

He just snorted sarcastically.

His eyes fell on the old general, waiting for a reply.

The old general scolded his confidants who were jumping up and down, then softened his expression and said comfortingly: "Winning or losing is a common thing for military officers. No one dares to say that he is victorious in every battle. Underestimating the heroes of the world is like a frog in the well, and sooner or later he will suffer a big loss." In the year, it was not my father's intention to withdraw the troops. Due to military orders, I had to obey."

The seemingly loving eyes filled the same sentence.

[A-Nian, don’t be willful. 】

Seeing that Gong Xiqiu didn't say a word, the old general was ready to talk to Xini again: "I've been running all the way. I see you're tired too. Let's go down and have a rest."

Gong Xiqiu stood still for a long time.

The old general's face turned darker and darker.

Finally, unwilling to clasp his fists, the young man turned around and walked away. His steps were no longer as light as before, and every step seemed to be venting his inner dissatisfaction. Without Gong Xiqiu as a spoiler, the music that had stopped started playing again, people were pouring wine, and people were joking.

The staff envoy said: "The temper of the young general..."

The old general said: "Young people are very popular."

"The general won't send someone to explain to the major general?" the staff messenger said very calmly, but if Gong Xiqiu was there, you could taste a bit of sarcasm in his words. He said to the old general, "so as not to hurt the father and son." It’s not worth it to be nice.”

"It doesn't matter, A Nian is not the kind of person who likes to be petty." The old general waved his hands indifferently and said in a serious tone, "This child is also very forgetful. However, what the messenger said is not unreasonable. A Nian is not unreasonable. At this age, he still can’t calm down... He just missed once... There are many heroes in the world, but he can’t really be invincible... Sigh."

In just a few words, the old general attributed Gong Xiqiu's temper to the failure of sending troops rather than being dissatisfied with King Pig's order.

The staff members smiled and said nothing.

Gong Xiqiu turned around and walked away before returning to normal.

The subordinate officer waited for a long time and trotted to catch up.

"Major General."

He looked a little worried.

Gongxi Qiu's treatment is not harsh and ruthless, but high-level brave warriors have an aura of calmness and self-power. When they are in a bad mood, the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth will also be affected by it and become chilly and cold. Other brave warriors will be very uncomfortable if they get close.

I'm afraid subconsciously.

Gong Xiqiu waved his hand: "Go back home."

The subordinate officer asked: "Aren't you going to the barracks?"

Gong Xiqiu said: "I won't go! It's too boring."

The subordinate officer couldn't help but feel his scalp numb when he heard him complain about being bored.

Because every time Gong Xiqiu complained about being bored, he would find fun for himself, either singing, drinking, dancing, singing, drinking and dancing, or having people play beads with him... Just thinking about it Just desperate.

"Major General..." The voice was somewhat pleading.

Gong Xiqiu waved his hand and let him go generously.

Returning to his temporary residence, Gong Xiqiu sensed a strange smell in his territory - this smell was not dangerous, on the contrary, it was very weak and harmless.

Seeing the source of the breath, he remembered.

Previously, the adoptive father had used soft and hard force on his dancing girl.

The woman's outfit this time had much more fabric than the previous one. It was completely covered from head to toe and wrapped in a barrel shape from top to bottom. Her features were almost invisible. When she saw Gong Xiqiu coming back, she was stunned and seemed to have no trace of her. I thought I could see Gong Xiqiu again so soon.

The hand holding the plum branch froze and stood there.

She was at a loss.

Stuttering: "This, this flower is..."

Gong Xiqiu waved his hand to indicate that she didn't need to explain any more.

Question: "Is it possible that someone will give you a hard time while I'm away these days?"

The woman shook her head: "No, everything is fine."

Seeing that Gong Xiqiu had no intention of leaving her behind, she felt blessed and prepared to leave with the plum blossom branch in her arms. As soon as she took a step forward, she heard Gong Xiqiu ask her a strange question: "Can you play beads?"

The woman was shocked: "Huh?"

Play beads...

literal meaning.

It was a monkey game that even the women in the boudoir despised, but Gong Xiqiu enjoyed it endlessly. Women naturally couldn't do it, but she could help pick up the beads that were knocked far away. The woman's thick clothes made it difficult to move, and she seemed clumsy and naive when running.

After a while, sweat broke out on his forehead.

Gong Xiqiu saw it and said, "Oh, it's really different."

The woman asked in confusion: "What's different?"

Gong Xiqiu threw the beads casually, and the round, shiny longan pearls fell firmly into the porcelain vase where the woman put plum blossom branches. He smiled and said: "I know a Mama, oh, the 'girl' you are used to calling her, then With physical strength, I can attack for eight hundred miles at night without losing breath!"

When the woman heard this, she remained suspiciously silent.

"Night attack...eight hundred miles?"

Gong Xiqiu explained: "It's a serious night attack of eight hundred miles."

The woman became more and more puzzled. She looked at Gong Xiqiu blankly and said without asking for explanation: "A night attack of 800 miles, is there anyone unreasonable?"

Gong Xiqiu: "..."

The woman licked Gong Xiqiu's words carefully.

He said in astonishment: "There is such a heroine!"

Gong Xiqiu skipped the discussion about seriousness and improperness with a nonchalant expression, and threw beads again in a fancy way - this time it was the "Mother and Son Chasing Soul Style". One bead was thrown first, and when it was about to fall in mid-air, the second bead was thrown. The impact of the beads took advantage of the force, and the two beads fell into the porcelain bottle one after another - making two ding-dong sounds, which was very pleasant to the ear.

He said: "Well, she is also a great 'lady'."

When a woman is called a scholar, she is called a lady.

The last time I met Shen Tang in private, my already high favorability level increased a lot. He has never seen a confidant who is so in line with his wishes. He seems to be fine anywhere. The woman heard Gong Xiqiu's comment and asked curiously: "But the young general's beauty?"

"Beauty?"

Gong Xiqiu expressed his disbelief.

It's not that he doesn't understand the word "beauty", but——

Compared with "beautiful girl", he felt that the word "close friend" was more suitable.

Furthermore——

It's not like any beauties will fight to the death when they meet.

He hit Shen Tang hard, and Shen Tang hit him equally.

Gong Xiqiu shook his head: "Not really."

The woman was surprised and said: "It's the young general who can't get what he asked for?"

Gong Xiqiu: "..."

The woman didn't know what she was thinking of. She sighed: "It's just that to be admired by the young general, she must be a peerless beauty."

Sitting up straight from his lazy posture, he finally realized that he and the woman were on the same page and were not on the same channel at all.

Gong Xiqiu reminded her.

"Mama can travel eight hundred miles at night without getting out of breath."

You call this a peerless beauty who is "outstanding in color"? ? ?

The woman's mind also changed, and she said nonchalantly: "I can't imagine that the military formation is not a woman's business..."

After hearing this, Gong Xiqiu couldn't help complaining to the woman: "When I attended some banquet earlier, I heard an old woman reprimanding her daughter-in-law for saying, 'It's not a girl's business to be talented'. Everyone around praised her, but you said that military formation is not a girl's business..." …Don’t you need to learn anything about co-writing?”

I couldn't help but look at the woman with a look like "Why are you so lazy?" She didn't learn this or that--it made Mama even more rare.

If we use beads as a metaphor, it is definitely the largest, brightest, roundest and most outstanding one among the many beads he has collected!

woman:"……"

Gong Xiqiu's thick eyebrows stood up and he said sternly: "Then how much have you learned?"

The woman was so frightened that she trembled, taking in the aura of a brave warrior, with a white face, and said, "Learn, learn how to control the middle minister, how to be filial to your parents-in-law, how to serve your husband..."

She has a good family background and good looks.

Her father also intended to use her future marriage to win over people and increase her strength. He also allowed her to study and become literate, and privately hired teachers who were proficient in dance and music to teach her. Women also like it and learn it similarly.

It was originally reserved for future boudoir fun with my husband.

Unexpectedly, this became a life-saving straw for her. He was targeted because of his appearance and figure, and was rewarded by Gong Xiqiu because of his outstanding dancing skills.

Gongxi Qiu muttered: "I don't want to make progress."

woman:"……"

When did she stop seeking improvement? ? ?

Seeing that her eyes seemed unconvinced, Gong Xiqiu opened his mouth to argue with her: "Are you unconvinced? Are your parents-in-law rebellious and unfilial, and do you expect girls from other families to come over and be filial? Has your husband been taken away? A pig with four limbs cannot take care of itself, so I expect you to take care of it? As for being in charge of the central government, serving two meals in court, food and clothing, isn’t there someone in charge of the house?"

woman:"……"

Gong Xiqiu counted with her on his fingers.

"If you think about it all, isn't it very unmotivated?"

Gong Xiqiu still can't understand it.

Now when I heard it, it turned out that this one didn't learn and that one didn't learn. They were really lazy. As expected, Mama was still diligent and hardworking!

The woman was struck speechless.

Following Gong Xiqiu's logic, she felt deeply ashamed.

Seeing her starting to reflect, Gong Xiqiu patted her shoulder with satisfaction and said, "You are right if you know you are wrong. There is no limit to the world of life and the sea of ​​learning."

It's not too late to find your way back.

The woman whose shoulders were almost slapped apart said: "..."

Having influenced one person, Gong Xiqiu was in a good mood.

The woman's face showed bitterness: "But young general, women are not allowed to tolerate heaven and earth. They have no literary heart, no courage, no matter how hard they make progress..."

It's nothing more than a despised thing.

Even women will use "XX is not a woman's thing" to preach righteously - such as beauty and bad luck, "poor fate" is because the woman was born to bring disaster to the country and the people, or she is talented and learned and brings disaster, or she is born in a lowly position and has no support, and she never talks about the world. How, not to mention the perpetrator. Thousands of mistakes are all the fault of one person.

Gong Xiqiu said: "Mama is different."

Bosom friend has nothing to do with gender.

The woman didn't understand what it meant.

I just know that Gong Xiqiu likes that "Mama" very much, so naturally he won't say a bad word.

at the same time--

Shen Tang sneezed several times.

"Who is speaking ill of me behind my back?"

I rubbed my nose, it still felt a little itchy.

Lin Feng worked hard on the side: "Maybe it's a compliment."

When Shen Tang heard this, she thought she was hot - well, how could anyone be willing to scold her: "Praise? Hehe, it's not impossible. If there really is such a person, he won't think of anyone else besides Gong Xiqiu."

Thinking this way, my mood improved.

Lin Feng's expression changed slightly: "Isn't that an enemy?"

Shen Tang sat down calmly: "The enemy is the one with conflict of interest. Haven't we started fighting yet? Besides, Gong Xiqiu has a very interesting temper. I won't be at a loss for making friends. He has a lot of experience and a lot of blood, but he lacks experience. It’s the best time to brush him.”

Lin Feng barely understood the first two sentences, and the last sentence...

"Have a lot of blood? A lot of experience?"

Shen Tang explained: "Don't those popular sayings always say that when you encounter a strong person, you will be stronger? Fighting with strong people and accumulating experience means 'more experience', and as for 'thick blood'... it means Gongxi Qiu This man is very powerful and cannot be killed no matter how hard he fights. Just like the pig that Wuhui killed by bloodletting, it still didn't die even after a basin of blood was poured out. This is called 'blood thick'!"

She spoke in an easy-to-understand way, and Lin Feng understood.

only--

Shen Tang saw that the little girl looked a little embarrassed and frowned slightly, as if she had encountered something that was very troubling to her.

She asked concernedly: "What's wrong?"

Lin Feng sighed maturely.

"The slave family is thinking about how to maintain both loyalty and justice."

Shen Tang: "???"

Several question marks popped up on her forehead.

|ω`)

This is quite heartbreaking to say that talent is not a woman's business.

I just think the person who said this is very sad and short-sighted, and will only have the name "Sun" in his life.

But what’s even more distressing is that when I went to Douyin earlier, there were a lot of comments - the more you learn, the more tragic you become... A mother with several children expressed sympathy and said that she has no children, has a bad brain, etc...

I'm really sick.

Good guy, instead of binding the little feet, you have to bind the cerebellum? ? ?

Mayflies who live and die, ordinary people who are confused, people who have passed their lives in a daze, how shameless is it to use this perspective to comment on a pearl that can leave a bright figure in the long river of history? ? ?

Face, so spicy - big!
