Chapter 84: Last laugh

Their confrontation decided the winner in an instant. It turned out that everyone thought that the winner should be the old general, so they did not intervene. At most, they guarded King Ning and blocked Chao Xi’s retreat. How can I think that the loser is actually the old general. General, listen to what King Ning said, do you still know that kid?
"Chao Xi." Shen Fei motioned to her, "Hurry up and apologize to the old general."
Chao Xi scratched the back of his head, took the stick to dismount, walked to the old general and respectfully saluted, "The kid is ignorant and offended the general."
Shen Fei told her to call herself a man here, otherwise she would be looked down upon. Chao Xi was dissatisfied and asked Shen Fei, why is sister Jinghua and sister Shuiyue also girls, so no one looks down on them? Would she be looked down upon if she was a girl?
Shen Fei said that life is different. One is a maid and the other is a guard. The guard is demanding.
Chao Xi is even more puzzled. Shouldn't girls be more respected when they are guards? Look, I have done what other girls can't do, how much honor?
Shen Fei still has reasons to say that everyone is a man, and she is a girl, so she looks strange. If there are more female guards, it is okay to say that if only she can do it, others will doubt her authenticity and strength.
In a word, her daughter is not good at being a guard. In order to be a guard, Chao Xi can protect Shen Fei personally, so she has to feel wronged. She calls herself a kid when there are people, and does whatever she does when there is no one.
In private, Shen Fei indulged a lot of her, almost no rules, but in front of outsiders, there were a lot of rules, and the words could not exceed three sentences, and he should salute when he meets someone who is higher than himself, and cannot leave him three steps away.
Chao Xi was worried about Shen Fei, and Shen Fei was actually worried about her, so she set a lot of rules for her, otherwise she wouldn't let her follow.
This is unconscious, and doesn't know how weak she is. What if she doesn't run into danger?
Especially on occasions like this, you can’t bring so many people together. The people who talk about things together are very martial arts. If you really attack him, he may not survive. She is not allowed to follow, because she wants her to collect his body. ?
General Li looked bad, "The old man I was famous, and he has never failed. Unexpectedly, he was ruined in your hands."
Chao Xi hurriedly lowered his head, "I don't know the severity, but I hope General Li Haihan."
"Humph!" He should have said this to Chao Xi. After discovering that Chao Xi was related to King Ning, he immediately thought about the excuses after accidentally hurting this person. Who would have become this person? Use it for him.
"What trick did you use just now?" General Li covered his chest, waved away his supporter, and stood up by himself.
"Dragonfly at three o'clock." Chao Xi's stick tapped three times. The first and second clicks were both false, and the third one was real, but neither the first nor the second fell. General Li did. Because the third time was also fake, she was hit by a stick.
The old girl who has raised a bear and carried a wheelchair has a lot of strength, and she did a set of actions like an understatement, without even sweating.
It's a shame to say that the four people stopped Chao Xi three times all the way, and they didn't even try to get the strength of others.
This son is unfathomable.
"How old is this year?" General Li seemed to ask her in a casual chat.
Chao Xi blinked, not knowing whether to answer or not, she had spoken more than three sentences today.
"What?" General Li dissatisfied, "Is this still a secret?"
Chao Xi shook her head quickly, nodded, and shook her head again. Everyone was confused, and even Shen Fei frowned at her, "General Li asks, tell the truth."
Chao Xi let go and said, "I am eighteen this year."
General Li came to be interested, "Why didn't you say it just now?"
Chao Xi glanced at Shen Fei, "His Royal Highness Ning said that he doesn't like talkative guards, and he can't speak more than three sentences a day."
"puff!"
Everyone laughed, and even General Li Wanliang's unchanging face loosened a little, "You are a funny baby."
Shen Fei consciously took responsibility, "Let General Li laugh."
General Li waved his hand, "I should congratulate His Royal Highness King Ning for finding a beloved person. The little brother Chao Xi has outstanding martial arts and strong skills, but it is a pity not to join the army."
He seemed to have moved his mind, "Little Brother Chao Xi is interested in guarding the border and defending the country?"
Chao Xi shook her head quickly, "Not interested."
She came to the frontier purely for Shen Fei, and secondly for revenge, the Yuan army made her hometown look like a ghost, not letting them pay, it seemed she was bullying.
It is a pity for General Li, Chao Xi is from King Ning. If he is unwilling, can he force it?
General Li opened his mouth and wanted to try again. King Ning suddenly said, "General Li, what did we talk about just now?"
It seemed that King Ning was reluctant to bear the little guard of Chao Xi, and General Li had to accept those careful thoughts and say, "King Ning took a step to speak."
Shen Fei got off the horse and walked a little farther with him. Chao Xi wanted to follow, but was stopped by a few others, "Don't worry, General Li and King Ning have a relationship, and it won't hurt him. "
Chao Xi was still a little worried, but the things they were talking about seemed to be of the very important kind. She was not convenient to know, but she had no choice but to wait aside, not far away, at most a dozen steps away.
The wind was strong, and what he said was as if something was being poured into him. Chao Xi didn’t hear it clearly, and only vaguely caught a few keywords. He said that the Yuan army has been moving a lot recently, and he suspects that they are going to attack. It is best to prepare as soon as possible So much.
Yuan army is about to attack?
Dashun hasn't hit back yet, are they coming again?
Too much, too deceiving!
Chao Xi chuckled with a stick, listened carefully, and felt about it. Shen Fei asked General Li to redouble his patrol from tomorrow. At least one thousand flags should be on the night. The grain and grass must be protected, and he will travel by himself. , Must bring more people and so on.
General Li nodded and said, "King Ning is the backbone of Dashun, and he should protect himself."
Shen Fei suddenly turned around and looked at Chao Xi who was trying to eavesdrop. The corners of his mouth were unconsciously aroused, "General Li, don't worry, this king has a family and a room, so how dare you have trouble?"
General Li followed his gaze and found Chao Xi who was eavesdropping, "King Ning, the guard, is really interesting. He is eavesdropping openly..."
Chao Xi seemed to have noticed that she was talking about her, and she straightened her body quickly, her ears still high, she didn't let the slightest movement, didn't dare to turn her head, only faintly heard the sound of shoe soles stepping on the grass.
The sound is getting closer and closer...
"what!"
Chao Xi instinctively covered her ears, where she was grasped by her other hand, and Shen Fei stood in front of her, "Didn't you let you stand in place and wait for me?"
Chao Xi blinked, "I didn't say anything."
"Need to talk about the guards?"
Chao Xi's entire face collapsed. She is now acting as a guard. The guard's rule is to be obedient and conscious.
What did she do?
First, he insisted on approaching a place ten or twenty steps away from Shen Fei regardless of obstruction, and then openly eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Am I worried about you?" Chao Xi made an excuse.
"General Li is the uncle of my mother and concubine. The relationship is not close, but not far."
Is it not far behind three generations?
They are not of the same generation, and they are the elders three generations apart. It is really not easy to be able to contact.
I remember that Aunt Liu next door said that she and her uncle didn't talk at all, let alone the uncle and her children.
"Do you know you are not familiar?"
Shen Fei seemed to have a mind-reading skill, answering her questions one by one.
"It's because I'm not familiar with it that I need to get in touch with each other and cultivate relationships."
Chao Xi suddenly realized that, no wonder, Shen Fei, the bastard, suddenly didn’t bring anyone out. It turned out to be to have a relationship with General Li. If he brought someone, it means that he is not at ease with General Li, and he can perform better without anyone. Sincerity, and respect for General Li, she broke in without permission...
"Am I messed up?"
Shen Fei shook his head, "You didn't mess up, I was negligent."
? ? ?
"what happened?"
"I forgot the saying that things gather together. Literati like literati, and martial arts like martial arts. General Li may not like me, but he definitely likes you."
Chao Xi was overjoyed immediately, "So I didn't mess up?"
"Not only didn't mess up, but he was hitting straight." Shen Fei put his hands in his sleeves, "but General Li is very prestigious in the army, you defeated him, haha..."
"Haha what?" I always feel what these two words mean.
"Nothing." Shen Fei said nothing.
"Shen Fei." Chao Xi didn't pay much attention to this, but instead paid attention to other things. "You want to have a relationship with General Li, why don't you call him uncle? Isn't this more intimate?"
Shen Fei was taken aback for a moment, and said for a while, "Calling his uncle is more like borrowing a relationship."
It turned out that Shen Fei didn't want to use this relationship to be good with General Li, but wanted General Li to recognize him with his courage and other aspects.
Chao Xi secretly felt that she was too innocent, not as much as Shen Fei thought, but Shen Fei's self-esteem was also too strong. If it was her, then the relationship would be connected. With this level of family affection, why not?
It can save a lot of trouble, but because Shen Fei has a strong self-esteem and does not want to borrow, so he can only take a long way to impress General Li with his strength and spend more time and energy. I really don't know if he is smart or stupid.
Maybe this is the character of literati.
Don't ask for help, rely on yourself.
"The talk is over, let's go back." The two had already walked to the horse.
Horses love freedom without restraint, no one can lead them to run, so Shen Fei arranged for someone to take care of them when he left. He was a young man. The young man had just been defeated by Chao Xi. At this moment, he had to help Chao Xi lead the horse. It was quite uncomfortable. Seeing that she gave her a rope with a cold snort.
Chao Xi thanked him, no matter whether he heard it or not, just do it by himself.
The two stepped on their horses and pulled on the chain one after another to leave, when someone suddenly spoke behind them.
"My grandson."
Shen Fei had a pause.
General Li led the horse and stood not far away, "It was my uncle who was sorry for you back then."
Shen Fei turned her head and smiled, "What the uncle said, my grandson knew that my uncle was actually trying to save my grandson.
A cold wind blew Shen Fei's three thousand green silks, "It's cold, uncle take care of your body."
Shen Fei also said this many years ago, but it was completely different from the current situation.
I remember that when his mother and concubine had just left, one of his twelve-year-old children came to seek asylum one by one, often eating closed doors, or simply driving people out.
The first thing the Emperor Xian had ascended to the throne was to get rid of his brothers, and all the ideas that were better than him were killed. Although Shen Fei was only twelve years old, his reputation as a child prodigy spread to the world, and he was also jealous of the Emperor.
Shen Fei himself seemed to know that he wanted to ask a powerful relative in the DPRK to speak for him or show him a clear way, but no one was willing to help him, not one.
He knelt at the gate of the General's Mansion for three days. His persistence was terrible. Li Mu had no choice but to open the door for him, but he had no choice but to give him four words.
‘Ask for more happiness’.
At that time, Shen Fei nodded, and the twelve-year-old childish face showed the maturity and Cangsang that did not fit his age, and did not ask him why? He didn't cry or make trouble, but said openly, "It's cold, uncle take care of your body."
Then he folded and left, with a girl who was younger than him. The girl's cold teeth trembled and followed him tremblingly.
Later, I heard that he went to beg his brother on his own and volunteered to guard his father’s tomb.
Xian Huang Nian allowed him when he was young and lonely, and no one was willing to help him.
"If someone was willing to help me at that time, I might not go to guard the tomb, and the first emperor would not agree. It is precisely because no one was willing to help me, the first emperor would agree to a person with no back and no threat to guard the tomb.
Keeping the tomb for three years is equivalent to giving up everything. After three years, the emperor's position is stable. It doesn't matter if he has any chance of turning over?
It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, and who can have the last laugh is not necessarily true.
