A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 431
Not long after, Wang Dou led the army to the city of Gaoyi, and seeing the army rolling in, no matter Xu Yue'e and his generals, the local magistrate's garrison, or the country gentry, all showed expressions of fear.

At this time, there were many people around the south gate, and they all admired: "Although Mrs. Xu's soldiers are elite, they are still incomparable to these officers and soldiers."

"I don't know who it is. It turns out that it is General Wang who is the brave champion of the three armies. No wonder Mrs. Xu greeted him respectfully."

"I heard that the great general won great victories in Luoyang and Xiangyang again. The Holy Majesty named him a loyal and brave uncle, and hung the seal of the general who conquered the captives."

"General Wang is also a loyal person. I heard that he followed Duke Zhonglie and killed many Tartars in Julu."

"Uncle Zhongyong and Mrs. Xu are really talented and beautiful, a natural couple..."

While the people were discussing, Wang Dou rode his horse and came to the front, Xu Yuee led the crowd, regardless of the scholars and military generals, all bowed down: "I will pay my respects to Uncle Zhongyong."

Wang Dou said: "Everyone is interested, please get up."

He carefully looked at Xu Yue'e in front of him, she was still so heroic, wrapped in a tight-fitting battle jacket, her figure was even more bumpy, exuding the charm of a mature woman.Her head was covered with a silk handkerchief, and she was wearing a cloak, which brought her some majesty and heroism.After not seeing her for a while, Xu Yue'e became more temperamental.

After Xu Yue'e got up, she didn't dare to meet Wang Dou's eyes. Some of the female soldiers standing behind her were the female deserters from Shun Township that day, and they also avoided looking at Wang Dou's face.

Finally, Xu Yue'e looked at Wang Dou, and said softly: "Uncle Zhongyong has worked hard all the way, Yue'e has prepared a banquet in the city, and there is also a place to stay, please come to the city to rest."

Seeing her shy and gentle appearance, everyone in Gaoyi was stunned. Mrs. Xu has always been cold and arrogant, and she does not pretend to be flamboyant to men, but she did not expect to be as docile as a kitten in front of Uncle Zhongyong.

Many people secretly sighed: "A female leopard like Mrs. Xu can only be subdued by a tiger like Uncle Zhongyong."

Some local scholars who had a crush on her couldn't help feeling sad when they saw the goddess in their hearts.

Wang Dou said: "Okay."

In the south of Gaoyi City, there is a large temple with a brick pagoda, which the locals call Nansi. Wang Dou ordered the army to camp around the Nansi.

The whole area of ​​Gaoyi is flat. Only in the southwest near Zanhuang, there is an earth mountain called "Phoenix Mountain", so Gaoyi City is also called "Phoenix City".The city of Gaoyi is not big, and the streets and alleys in the city are all set in the south and north, and the east and west are set. A bridge is built outside the gate of the city, with wooden beams on it, and straw and mud paved as bridge decks.

In the local language, these grass-paved bridges are like nests where the phoenix lays eggs. Every time an egg is laid, a high-ranking official will be born in Gaoyi.In the history of Gaoyi, Zhao Nanxing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was "one of the three leaders of the Donglin Party" at that time, so the local people believed in this statement.

Xu Yuee led Wang Dou into the city, pointed out the scenery in the city for Wang Dou all the way, and talked about what she did in Gaoyi and other places, which seemed to show her merits in front of Wang Dou.

Wang Dou said: "Miss Xu, you have done a good job. It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. It is very good to give relief to the victims without giving them laziness."

After hearing Wang Dou's praise, Xu Yue'e was even more pleased.

Soon, they arrived at Wang Dou's resting place, which was the garden of a local squire.

When Xu Yue'e came to Gaoyi from Zanhuang, the squire heard that Mrs. Xu was temporarily requisitioned, so in order to curry favor, she immediately gave up.Unexpectedly, it was Uncle Zhongyong who stayed here, and he was even more overjoyed. He was busy serving him, intending to show his face in front of Wang Dou.

At this time, not to mention that Wang Dou is famous all over the world, he has to be named an earl, and he has already left the category of warrior, regardless of whether he is an official or general, he cannot be underestimated.

But the squire's wish was not fulfilled, he was driven away by Xu Yue'e, and she led a few female soldiers to serve Wang Dou herself.

Wang Dou took a comfortable hot bath, changed his clothes, and attended a grand dinner before returning to his room to rest.

The guards were on guard in the garden outside the courtyard, while Wang Dou was reading books comfortably on the bed. The squire had a lot of books in his study, so Wang Dou took a few to read.

Just watching, the door opened with a babble, Xu Yuee came in with a teacup, and said softly to Wang Dou: "General, this cup of strong tea is for you to sober up."

Wang Dou put down the book, smiled and said, "I'm sorry."

In fact, Wang Dou didn't drink anything tonight, with his current fame and status, who would dare to force him to drink?But Xu Yue'e had a heart, and Wang Dou also had to thank her.

Xu Yue'e looked at Wang Dou carefully, slightly annoyed: "Look at you, you still smell of alcohol."

After saying hello, a female soldier came in with a basin of washing water. Xu Yuee asked the female soldier to go out. She tested the temperature of the water, picked up a face towel and twisted it, and said, "I'll wash your face."

With her head down, she came forward shyly and painted Wang Dou's face.

Wang Dou coughed lightly and asked her to serve him, only to feel the faint fragrance of Xu Yue'e's body continuously radiating, and a few strands of beautiful hair brushed against his face, making it itchy.

After washing her face, Xu Yue'e went to the water basin again.

Wang Dou saw that Xu Yue'e seemed to have been well-dressed tonight, with a little makeup on, her black and smooth hair was casually tied up in a bun, and she was wearing a white silk skirt, showing a bit of charm.From Wang Dou's angle, she could just see her side profile. Under the candlelight, her long eyelashes blinked from time to time, her expression focused and soft.

Seeing Xu Yue'e coming again, Wang Dou said softly: "Miss Xu, it's better for the maidservants to take care of these things, you..."

Xu Yuee said: "I am willing."

He waited on Wang Dou to wipe his face, called the female soldier to bring out the water basin, and closed the door by himself.

It could be seen that she was panting violently. After a long time, Xu Yuee turned around, her cheeks flushed. She looked at Wang Dou, and slowly came to the bed, bowing her head in silence.

Wang Dou looked at her and thought of this woman, who was originally from the same village as Xinzhuang. Due to tragic accidents, her fate slipped into an unknown future step by step.Looking at this woman, scenes of the past flashed through my heart, the incident of Xinzhuang, the incident of Jingbian Fort, Xu Yue'e's escape from Shun Township Fort, Julu's assistance and so on.

He sighed and said, "Miss Xu, you..."

A soft finger pressed Wang Dou's lips, but it was Xu Yue'e who stopped Wang Dou from speaking.

She said hurriedly, "General, you don't need to say anything."

She looked at Wang Dou obsessively, and said: "I remember the general said that you don't dislike the slave family."

Wang Dou sighed, "How can I..."

Xu Yuee shook her head and said: "I can tell that among the men in the world, only the general truly cares about my family, does not dislike my family, and really cares about my family. The other men just covet my family's beauty and fame."

She quietly said: "As early as in Jingbian Fort, I saw it, and since then, I have tied my heart to the general..."

She looked at Wang Dou, her eyes were extremely hot, and suddenly she threw herself into Wang Dou's arms, and whispered in Wang Dou's ear, "General, give me a child."

……

The morning sun shone in through the thin layer of window paper, Wang Dou woke up, looking at the curvaceous body beside him, he felt like he was still in a dream.

He listened and smiled slightly.

At this time Xu Yue'e had actually woken up, remembering her debauchery last night, her heart was sweet and ashamed at the same time, she let Wang Dou move her, and just pretended she didn't wake up.

Wang Dou reached out, then went to tickle her again, Xu Yuee cried out in surprise, turned around and repeatedly begged for mercy: "My family is awake, please, General, please spare the little girl."

Wang Dou said: "Do you still dare?"

Xu Yuee pleaded: "Don't dare, don't dare, I don't dare anymore."

She begged, but her mind was very smooth, and then she smiled and climbed onto Wang Dou's body, resting her head comfortably on his chest.

Perhaps, this is her nature, delicate and lively, Wang Dou remembered that before the accident, Xu Yue'e was very active in Xinzhuang, singing folk songs well.The ravages of the war have turned a lively and cheerful woman into an indifferent person. Thinking of this, Wang Dou felt more pity for her.

He hugged Xu Yue'e, stroked her smooth skin with one hand, and said, "What are your plans?"

Xu Yuee sighed softly: "I still stay in Zanhuang, I finally have a foundation here."

Seeing what Wang Dou wanted to say, Xu Yue'e put her finger on Wang Dou's mouth again, and said, "I'm not afraid of the general's jokes. In fact, I feel a little inferior. I'm afraid I won't be worthy of the general. So I'm desperate to climb up and gain status and power. Revenge and kill the Tartars can match the general."

Wang Dou sighed, "Why are you doing this?"

He looked at Xu Yue'e and said: "In the future, if you have any difficulties, tell me. You have to remember that there is a man who cares about you on the East Road."

Xu Yue'e's tears rolled down, she hugged Wang Dou tightly, weeping uncontrollably.

……

When the door opened and Wang Dou and Xu Yue'e appeared in front of everyone, everyone had different expressions.

Xu Yuee's female soldiers showed a look of relief. Of course, they knew what Xu Yuee was thinking, and they were very happy and blessed that Sister Yuee was finally with the general.

Xie Yike and other generals of the security guards knew what happened to Xu Yue'e back then. This woman was as vicious as a snake, even daring to kill her own son.Just like Baihu Kefu's rumors, many people think that women like Xu Yue'e are inauspicious.

With Wang Dou's current status, it's no surprise that a woman came to serve her, but Xu Yue'e...

Xie Yike had already grown two sexy mustaches. At this moment, he was stroking his beard, his thoughts turned, and he was just thinking, would Xu Yue'e bring any harm to the general?It won't cause harm from now on, will it?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Xu Yue'e's heart ached, her face slowly turned cold, and she returned to her usual indifferent and arrogant expression.

Wang Dou turned around and smiled at Xu Yuee. Xu Yuee's heart warmed up, and she suddenly felt that she didn't care about anything anymore.

But in front of everyone, she was already used to that cold look, and she couldn't return to that cute and lively look when facing Wang Dou alone.

Wang Dou said: "Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Xu, I will be grateful for the hospitality."

Xu Yue'e saluted and said: "This is the last general's job, and the last general will send the general to you."

When everyone left the city, they were sent off by local officials and gentry. After leaving the city, the army had assembled.

Wang Dou got on his horse, took a deep look at Xu Yuee, and said, "Take care."

The horsewhip made a crisp sound in the air, and with a sound of riding, he flew away in the dust. Behind Wang Dou, the rolling army followed, converging into an unstoppable torrent.

Xu Yue'e watched the army go away in dismay, and slowly regained her composure. Her eyes showed a fierce look, and she shouted: "Return to Zan Huang!"

Everyone around, no matter the generals, or the officials and squires in Gaoyi, all breathed a sigh of relief, and the familiar Lady Xu returned.

She was really not used to her shy and gentle look in front of Uncle Zhongyong before, so she still looked pleasing to the eye with such a cold face.
