The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 196

On the top of the mountain, Sima Xukong saw the Second Prince sitting on a rock in a state of embarrassment, with a dark face, only a pair of eyes, like a lone wolf in the wilderness, staring at Sima Xukong viciously.Looking at the others, at least half of the generals in the barracks were lost, and those who survived were also lingering, dying, relying on each other, and had no strength to cheer for the rest of their lives.

When Sima Xukong saw the second prince's gaze, he knew that the second prince must not have realized the mistake he made, and it was very likely that he would have to blame him for this.

When he heard Sima Xurun's first words, it confirmed his conjecture.

"Sima Xukong, what do you mean, you almost killed me..."

Sima Xukong was originally in danger to rescue Sima Xurun, but now instead of a word of thanks, he came up with accusations, which made the people who followed Sima Xukong couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation.

But Sima Xukong seemed to be used to it, and asked calmly: "I don't know what I did not do well enough to make the second brother misunderstand?"

"Hmph, where is there any misunderstanding... You see, I am trapped here, why did I come here now? You must take this opportunity to use Xu Zizheng's hand to get rid of me, don't you..."

"Why does the second brother think so?" Sima Xukong said convincingly, "I rushed here in a hurry after receiving the order. The second brother should know that it will take at least a month to get here from the capital. But it took me 20 days to get here, I don’t know what else is dissatisfied with the second brother?”

"Even if you show it to the empress dowager, you can't be procrastinating. But when you get here, you don't bother to put on a show. Just say that you could have killed him directly, but you just watched Xu Zizheng's death." People are killing my soldiers... Do you want to see that I have not lost enough soldiers and generals..." Sima Xurun didn't know where to find these excuses, as if they made sense, he kept shouting angrily, pulling his neck, "I Let me tell you, I don't need your help at all, as long as we persevere, we can win...Don't say you are like a hero, I don't need your help at all..."

Seeing Sima Xurun's domineering look, He Nuo felt a burst of suffocation, thinking that this person can really turn black and white, the prince tried his best to save him, but turned into complaining, which is really unreasonable...

Turning his head to one side, He Nuo didn't look at this bastard, for fear that he couldn't help it for a while and threw some poisonous powder at him.

With his hands behind his back, Sima Xukong's expression remained unchanged, he thought to himself that the second elder brother was really thinking of himself, as if he was afraid that his subordinates would not be able to hate him, and every sentence he said would attract people's hatred more and more.But this is also good for him, the more Sima Xurun talks, the more he will lose people's hearts.

His eyes narrowed, and Sima Xukong said with a smile: "Second brother has suffered a lot these days, and his mind will inevitably fluctuate. I don't take these things to heart. It's just...Second brother, are you sure you want more money?" Do you want to stay here? People from the Xu family will return at some point, and I don’t think your soldiers can last long, so I advise you to follow me down the mountain early and take care of yourself For good."

Looking at Sima Xukong bitterly, Sima Xurun said: "You don't need to remind me, I will take my people away...Everyone listen to the order and set up camp..."

After the words fell, only a few people obeyed his arrangement and stood up slowly. They didn't have the momentum that soldiers should have. They all looked old, weak, sick and disabled, which made people feel funny.

Sima Xurun was also aware of this problem, and felt ashamed in his heart, so he frowned and walked out first.But after walking a few steps, he looked back at Sima Xukong, and asked coldly, "Didn't you say you were going down the mountain, why don't you lead the way..."

Sima Xurun's strong-willed appearance made people who saw him secretly turn their faces away and laugh secretly.But Sima Xukong tried his best to keep a straight face, and said: "Pioneer, lead the way..."

"Yes……"

After receiving the order from Sima Xukong, the vanguard stood in front of the team, ready to go, and walked down the mountain without haste.And such an energetic appearance formed a sharp contrast with Sima Xurun's embarrassment, which made Sima Xurun feel infinite hatred for Sima Xukong.

Seeing that Sima Xurun walked a little farther in front, He Nuo complained in a low voice in Sima Xukong's ear: "Today I have really seen what it means to repay kindness with grievances, what a heartless person, what others did for him How much, instead of framing people like this. If we had known, we would not have helped him, and it would be nice to watch him fend for himself..."

"Before I came here, I knew it would be like this, but I can't help it. Who told him to be my second brother." Sima Xukong turned around and got on his horse, and said casually, "It's just that I'm no longer the only boy I was back then. Children who can swallow their anger will also resist injustice and bullying."

He Nuo heard the meaning behind Sima Xukong's words, so he couldn't help but chased after him immediately, and asked, "Will the prince fight back? I have several methods for you to choose from, it depends on how miserable you want the second prince to be." It's..."

Gu Shiyong saw that He Nuo's words were a little too much, so he dragged him back, and said: "The prince has his own plans, so don't come up with some strange ways."

"It's called immediate results, why is it so strange?" He Nuo defended himself aloud, "You've never seen how powerful I am, I'm sure you'll be so surprised that you won't be able to close your mouth from ear to ear..."

Gu Shiyong had also heard about this person's ability, that he was very capable to make Sima Xukong value him so much, so he didn't doubt He Nuo's words.It's just that Sima Xukong doesn't need help in this area. He wants to use his own strength to test the Second Prince and defeat him in the end, and He Nuo will not understand these things.

Seeing that Gu Shiyong stopped talking, He Nuo couldn't help but feel very annoyed, thinking that those who marched and fought, didn't they just care about a quick word, now he has a faster way to deal with that arrogant second prince, why not use it?On the contrary, one or two are both secretive, which is really worrying.

Seeing Long Rui's flag flying from afar, Lei Qing'er cheered happily, she hurriedly turned to look at her eldest grandson Jingrong, and said, "Miss, it must be the prince who is back..."

Leaning out half of his body and looking out, Changsun Jingrong said: "It was an hour later than expected, it seems that Xu Zizheng gave the prince a headache this time."

"War, there are many unforeseen factors, maybe it was delayed because of other things." Lei Qing'er stared at the army ahead, as if all his thoughts were on that man.

Seeing Lei Qing'er's appearance, Changsun Jingrong smiled, thinking that no matter how she explained now, this girl might not be able to listen to her, now she just wants to see He Nuo soon.As for myself, don't you really want to see Sima Xukong safe and sound?
I don't know when, Changsun Jingrong no longer rejects the yearning for Sima Xukong in her heart, she seems to have understood her own heart.So what if he really likes him, he has experienced so much with Sima Xukong, if he doesn't even have this bit of trust, then what are those knots of life and death?I can laugh at all the difficulties, why don't I dare to look directly at my heart?Her eldest grandson Jingrong is not a cowardly person...

Looking at the small group of people in the remote corner, Sima Xukong's smile gradually became warmer, and he ran over quickly, just in time to see his eldest grandson Jingrong standing outside, waiting for him.

Looking at his eldest grandson Jing who was smiling and looking at him, Sima Xukong couldn't help asking: "Why are you so enthusiastic today?"

"Why, is it warm to smile at you?"

"Not only that, you are still standing here to welcome me, it is really flattering." Sima Xukong smiled and held the hands of his eldest grandson Jingrong, and said affectionately, "Seeing you makes me feel at ease."

The arc of the corner of the mouth slowly tilted up, Changsun Jingrong said: "The mouth is really getting sweeter and sweeter."

Sensing the team stopped, Sima Xurun looked forward with his head, and found that his eldest grandson Jingrong was also here, as if he had found an excuse to make trouble, he rode away angrily, saying: "Okay, marching!" Women are the most taboo in war, yet you bring your wife into the barracks, it is becoming more and more inappropriate... I must report this matter to the Empress Dowager, and punish you for disturbing the morale of the army..."

Sima Xukong paused for a while, and seemed to realize that Sima Xurun was talking about himself, so he couldn't help but look sideways at him, and asked, "If you don't bring your own wife, who else will you bring?"

"Of course no one is allowed to take it with me, so as to ensure that all my thoughts are in war..."

Seeing Sima Xurun's upright look, Sima Xukong couldn't help asking suspiciously: "This... Jingrong is by my side, and she also wants to take care of me, so I can focus more on marching and fighting. This is not a good thing. Well, I don't know why the second brother objected so much."

"Hmph, with a woman by your side, will you put yourself in the place to let her take care of you in daily life?"

"if not?"

"Of course it is..." Sima Xurun suddenly became impatient, thinking that this brat was setting a trap for himself, trying to embarrass himself in front of everyone.He didn't go on talking at the moment, just thinking in his heart, how to severely sue the empress dowager.

Changsun Jingrong naturally saw the hatred in Sima Xurun's eyes, and immediately thought that this man really didn't know how to repay his kindness, not only that, but also stupid as hell.

His lips pursed, and Changsun Jingrong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I thought that the Second Prince must have suffered a lot outside, and he still has the strength to command others here. It's not a problem if you think about it. Otherwise, it's fine, you Let's take a rest here, and we will go back to Beijing first. Anyway, the task of the Empress Dowager has been completed, so what are you still doing here? It's boring and boring, and it's really boring. My lord, let's go back earlier, shall we?"

Sima Xukong could feel that when Changsun Jingrong said these words, the corners of the Second Prince's mouth trembled, which made him feel good, thinking that the one who knew him best was the little woman in front of him.I can't do anything about the second prince for the time being, but the eldest grandson's appearance is different, she can use words to taunt the second prince, but she doesn't have to take any responsibility for it, who made her a celebrity in front of the empress dowager?And Jing Rong didn't say anything wrong, he had completed the task of rescuing the Second Prince, so he could have returned to Beijing.

Seeing that Sima Xukong seemed to be seriously considering what the eldest grandson Jingrong said, Sima Xurun couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly said: "Aren't you joking? The Empress Dowager asked you to protect me. I haven't caught Xu yet." Zizheng, the threat has not been lifted, why are you leaving..."

Sima Xurun's reaction was really eye-opening. For the first time, Changsun Jingrong was so righteous when he saw a beggar, as if everyone owed him.What kind of confidence does this Sima Xurun have to do these things?

Changsun Jingrong frowned slightly, and said: "The empress dowager seems to have left it to you to catch the thief. When we left Beijing, the empress dowager only told me to save your life, and nothing else , but I didn’t explain it. Second Prince, it’s a serious crime to falsely pass on Yi’s decree, so don’t put yourself in danger.”

Sima Xurun naturally didn't know how the Empress Dowager ordered Sima Xukong, so when he said those words, he was not very confident.But now Sima Xurun is already riding a tiger, if he is abandoned, then there is only one dead end here.And if he returned to Beijing with Sima Xukong, then he would be a loser. Even if the Empress Dowager would not punish him, then his reputation would be ruined, and he might not be able to convince the public if he sat in the ninth or fifth place in the future.So Sima Xurun told himself that he must never let Sima Xukong go, and that he wanted to use him to fight a turnaround...

Turning his eyes around, Sima Xurun suddenly changed his tone and said, "Let's find a place to set up camp. I know this place very well. It's a good place to go down the mountainside. It's easy to defend but hard to attack. We can rest there temporarily." .”

Sima Xukong said in embarrassment: "Go down the mountainside, that's Xu Zizheng's territory, resting there is simply asking for death."

"How could it be Xu Zizheng's territory there?" Sima Xurun said, "I came all the way from there. There is no trace of anyone living on this mountain. How can it be Xu Zizheng's territory?"

Looking at Sima Xurun helplessly, Sima Xukong said: "Second brother, it is impossible for Xu Zizheng to live in each of his territories for a few days to show that this place is under his control. "

"Of course I know, but I mean..."

"Well, let's go to Meishan. It's under the jurisdiction of Long Rui, and the supply of military supplies is also convenient, and Long Rui's reserve army can support us. After all, we will feel more at ease in our own place. What do you think?"

Sima Xukong didn't give Sima Xurun a chance to finish his speech, so he raised a new suggestion and asked all the generals.Sima Xukong's people naturally readily agreed.But Sima Xurun's people could not nod their heads in agreement because they were only in the way of their master's face, otherwise, they also wanted to restore the original life of wanton life.Especially after experiencing life and death, I cherish my life and want to live a good life.

Looking sideways at the reaction of his subordinates, Sima Xurun couldn't help clenching his teeth.He had never heard of Meishan, but seeing what Sima Xukong said was so logical, he had no excuse to object.There are also cowardly subordinates like myself, when they heard that good times are coming, one or two of them have a peaceful attitude, pretending to be blind and deaf, and they don't take themselves seriously at all... What a Sima Xukong, bribe him People's hearts are really good...

Sima Xurun also knew his current strength, since he couldn't fight against Sima Xukong, he could only endure this anger, and look for an opportunity to express this anger in the future.

Seeing that everyone no longer objected, Sima Xukong said: "So, let's go to Meishan."

When the army stopped to rest, Changsun Jingrong leaned on the cushion, brushing his long hair again and again, staring at the cup in front of him without turning his eyes for a long time.

Sima Xukong, who had just entered the tent, saw such a grandson's face, walked up to her with a smile, kissed her long hair lightly, and asked, "What are you thinking? None found."

Putting the comb on the table, Changsun Jingrong said: "I was thinking, if you saved the snake, the Second Prince, he might bite you back at some point. That Sima Xurun is not a fuel-efficient lamp, are you sure?" Want to help him?"

Sima Xukong leaned back, leaned against the bedpost, and said lazily: "Of course I don't want to help him, just because of what he did to me before, I have a hundred reasons to just sit idly by. But I don't care about him, the empress dowager will make use of it. There is also a fifth prince who is afraid of chaos in the world, and he will put a hat on me. As for the third prince..." Sima Xukong paused, and then said, "There are still many doubts about me, so I need to be careful. So many people are staring at me, I have no choice but to save the second prince's life first."

Changsun Jingrong knew that it was still difficult for Sima Xukong to accept the fact that the third prince was a traitor.Since childhood, the third prince was the only prince who was willing to be close to Sima Xukong. When others were bullying Sima Xukong, only the third prince would care about him, reason with him, and take care of the injured Sima Xukong.Up to now, although Sima Xukong is afraid of the appearance of the third prince on the surface, in his heart, the person he respects the most is also the third prince.Now all kinds of evidence show that the third prince is the most suspicious person, but Sima Xukong still can't figure it out. With the third prince's temper, how can he do such a rebellious thing?If he wanted to sit on the throne, Sima Xukong would even help him, because he had the ability to manage Long Rui in an orderly manner. Why did he choose the path that was most difficult to turn over?Sima Xukong couldn't figure it out, so he felt that there must be something hidden in it, so he comforted himself.

Stretching out his hand to cover the back of Sima Xukong's hand, Changsun Jingrong looked at him tenderly, as if silently comforting him, and then said: "That man, Second Prince, has suffered such a big loss and doesn't know how to be good. Instead, he is always looking for trouble for you, which is really abominable. If you just let him go, it would be too cheap for him, why not teach him a lesson, first wear down his spirit, so as not to cause trouble for us. "
