The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 197 Heading to Meishan
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. "

Sima Xukong naturally saw the concern in Changsun Jingrong's eyes, and immediately felt warm, he took him into his arms, rubbed his chin on the top of her hair, and murmured: "Why, now you know that you feel sorry for me?"

Feeling the shock of Sima Xukong's voice, Changsun Jingrong smiled lightly, and instead of breaking free from Sima Xukong's embrace, he leaned closer to him and said, "Who cares about you, but just thinks that he is not worth helping?" , there is no need to waste your efforts on him. Hey, what can you do to tease him?"

The words of Changsun Jingrong reminded Sima Xukong of He Nuo's suggestion, and immediately refused: "You don't want to use He Nuo's poison powder again, this trick is not effective now, because the target is too strong, the second prince saw it You know that He Nuo is playing tricks. It's not like you don't know that the Second Prince is stingy and holds grudges, which will only harm He Nuo."

"You're so stupid, who said you're going to be poisoned?" Changsun Jingrong wrapped his fingers around Sima Xukong's big palm and said lazily, "We are in control of the life and death of the second prince now, he is just a strong outsider. It's nothing but a puppet, and I only dare to play prestige in front of you. If you don't give him some color, this guy will definitely push his nose on the face and do even more outrageous things. As for me, I just want to let him Realizing who I really am..."

Smelling the aroma of Changsun Jingrong's long hair with the tip of his nose, Sima Xukong asked with a bit of intoxication: "What are you going to do?"

Looking up at Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong smiled coquettishly and said, "I won't talk about it now, you will know when the time comes."

Seeing Changsun Jingrong's lovely appearance, Sima Xukong couldn't help pointing at the tip of her nose, and jokingly said: "I discovered a long time ago that you can't offend a woman if you offend anyone. And you, the most important woman among women It is the best, and it must not be offended."

"It's good to know," Changsun Jingrong smiled complacently, "so you must not do anything wrong with me, otherwise, you will definitely be very miserable..."

"Don't always say threatening words, let's taste the sweetness of tenderness first." Sima Xukong smiled, bowed his head and kissed the delicate red lips of his eldest grandson Jingrong.

The man's unique fortitude was drawn into the lips of the eldest grandson Jingrong, and he explored slowly with a bit of caution.When he found that his actions did not lead to a repair, Sima Xukong was pleasantly surprised at first, and then slowly became wild, holding Changsun Jingrong's shoulder, deepening the kiss.

Perhaps it was because he was imprisoned for too long, but Sima Xukong quickly forgot about Jinxi and Hexi. He walked with his hands on Changsun Jingrong's body, lighting a string of flames.

Seeing the little flames threatening to start a prairie fire, Changsun Jingrong suddenly held Sima Xukong's hand, and said with reddened cheeks, "Now is not the time."

These words were like pouring a pot of cold water on Sima Xukong's head, which made him sober up and annoyed a little, and said, "I have been waiting for a long time, why is it not the time yet?"

"Since you've been waiting for so long, you don't mind waiting longer."

Looking at the smiling grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong asked helplessly: "Then what are you waiting for?"

Looking around, Changsun Jingrong said: "I don't like to let trivial things affect my mood, and I'm not satisfied with the environment here. Anyway, no matter how you say it, it's not okay here..."

Seeing that Sun Jingrong insisted, Sima Xukong had no choice but to let her do it, shook his head amusedly, and said, "Isn't this kind of thing a mutual love? Why does it have something to do with the environment? This is the first time I've heard of it." to such a statement.”

"Then are you listening?"

"Of course I have to listen. I haven't heard what my wife said before." Putting his arms around the eldest grandson Jingrong again, Sima Xukong whispered in her ear, "But Jingrong, you can accept me, really. Okay. I can’t even believe this day will happen. Now that I’m experiencing it myself, it still feels like a dream. If this is really a dream, please don’t wake me up, just let me sleep for a while longer.”

Hearing Sima Xukong's almost humble words, Changsun Jingrong felt a little distressed, poked him on the cheek and said: "Stop talking sweet words, let's think of a way first, let your second brother get out of trouble, and don't look for ours." It's troublesome. Thinking about it, it's really annoying. After I saved someone for the first time, I didn't get thanked, but complained."

Seeing the eldest grandson's face puffed up, Sima Xukong couldn't help pecking her on the cheek, and then smiled dotingly: "You can do whatever you want with the second brother, as long as you are happy."

"Hey, that's what you said, don't feel bad again then."

"Just kidding, my love is only for you, others don't have this privilege."

……

At this moment, Sima Xurun, who was sitting in the tent on the other side, had no idea that he had become a bargaining chip between husband and wife, and was still discussing with his subordinates how to regain the initiative from Sima Xukong. .

In fact, after Sima Xukong rescued the people, the generals under the second prince had already identified Sima Xukong, thinking that only such a capable and capable person should lead the people to defeat the Xu family army and unify Long Rui.

However, their master, the Second Prince, did not want to see such a thing happen. He wanted to let everyone in the world know that he was more capable than Sima Xukong, and even qualified to be the king of a country.It's just that the current situation is very favorable to him, all the good things have been taken by Sima Xukong, and he is left with a disheveled face.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, Sima Xurun stared at his subordinates coldly, and said displeasedly: "The king asked you to come because of his idea, what's the matter if one or two are silent... Could it be possible? , have you all taken advantage of Sima Xukong, have you already betrayed the king..."

"Subordinates dare not..." Everyone lowered their heads, but they dared not answer.

"If you don't dare, then quickly find a way. This king doesn't want to be poked all the way back to the capital... The reason why this king was plotted by Xu Zizheng in this battle is entirely because the Ninth Prince provided a The information given to me is wrong, otherwise, relying on our strength, how could we lose so badly? You all remember this king, this Ninth Prince is not a hero, nor is he a capable person, he is just good at It's just a despicable villain who uses the machine... He caused your brother to die on the battlefield, don't you want to seek revenge from him..."

Everyone knows how much of these words are true and how much is false, but who would point out the Second Prince, unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

Among Sima Xurun's followers, there was a man named Lu He, who was usually glib, but now that the prince was so angry, he thought it was time to take the sidelines and express his opinion.Now the second prince is short of manpower, if he wins the favor of the second prince, wouldn't he have his own role in being promoted?
With such thoughts in his heart, Lu He stood up, bowed and said, "My lord, I have a way, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Speak up if you have a way, hurry up..." Seeing that someone was willing to say something, Sima Xurun hurriedly urged.

Turning his eyes around, Lu He said: "That's it, aren't we going to Meishan? It's the territory of Long Rui, and the officials are also subordinate to the Empress Dowager. But in Long Rui, your status is far away. Those who are above the Ninth Prince, even if it is the Ninth Prince, must obey your command. Regardless of whether it is seniority or order, or status ranking, you can make the Ninth Prince obey you obediently. After that, we can follow the trend Once you regain the military power in the hands of the lord, don't you have the power again... At that time, we will have the experience of fighting against the Xu family's army, and understand the weaknesses and strengths of the Xu family. Coupled with the vigorous officers and soldiers, we can use our strengths to avoid weaknesses , and strive to wipe out the Xu family army. Wouldn't this not only gain face, but also gain plums?"

Sima Xurun had also considered Lu He's words, but it was just an idea, because he didn't think that cunning boy Sima Xukong would honestly wait for him to plot against him.

Shaking his head, Sima Xurun said: "But Sima Xukong is not a fool, he will obediently hand over the things to me? I'm afraid that in the end, I will be the one who was calculated..."

"My lord, you have to have confidence in yourself," Lu He continued without giving up, "Then what is so special about the ninth lord? Isn't it that he has a capable assistant to help him, but this is called wrist rather than ability. If you use this If you leave the matter to you, the prince, you will definitely be able to do a good job. Therefore, there is no need for us to get too entangled in this matter. Anyway, sooner or later, everything the Ninth Prince owns will belong to you..."

Although Lu He's words aroused disgust from his colleagues, the Second Prince was very comfortable listening to them.Under the severe blow, someone could say something unrealistic, which became a life-saving straw, which strengthened the confidence of the Second Prince.

Pointing at Lu He, Sima Xurun asked, "You...what's your name?"

"Oh, the little right cavalry general, Lu He."

"Well, I think you are quite clever, so you can follow me from now on."

Getting the expected result, Lu He was quite happy, but he didn't show it, he just bowed his body deeply, his eyes flashed with joy.

On the other hand, the generals next to him were quite disdainful of Lu He's move.But I can't help it. People will say that they have won the favor of the master, even if they know that they are leading the second prince to the abyss, there is nothing they can do.

When the magistrate of Meishan learned that the two princes were coming, he panicked for several days. Finally, with the help of his subordinates, he packed up a few decent houses for the nobles to rest.

It's just that Meishan is really not a rich place. Even if the county magistrate racked his brains to find out what he thought was the best thing here, Sima Xurun frowned frequently.

There was no other way. What Sima Xurun originally thought was that after coming to Meishan, he would be able to act like a domineering and powerful man, enjoying the glory and wealth as if in the capital, and then let Sima Xukong go to work hard and enjoy the success himself.But after actually observing here, I found that this Meishan is like a small remote village, and the people all have bitter faces, as if they are forced by life.There are no good mountains and rivers for entertainment, and the woman is even more shriveled, without any sense of beauty.

The strong contrast made Sima Xurun very angry. He glared at the magistrate of Meishan, and said angrily, "Don't you just take some random things and just fool us? Is it possible that this is what you 'carefully' prepared... ..."

The county magistrate trembled, and hurriedly knelt in front of Sima Xurun, and said in a trembling voice: "How dare you lie to the two princes... This is indeed the best in our place. Because Meishan has been drought for many years, The people who can walk here have almost gone, so it looks a lot of desolation, and the things produced in the field are also barren, and it is difficult to pay the tax amount issued by the above every year. But even so, the lower officials can guarantee that these residents The places and food to eat are definitely the best we have to offer..."

Walking to the table, Sima Xurun leaned over and picked up something in his hands, and said mockingly: "Is it just a piece of broken persimmon to use as fruit... It's abominable..." After speaking, Sima Xurun smashed the persimmon hard. He threw it to the ground with disgust on his face.

Looking at the juicy persimmons that were thrown on the ground with distress, the county magistrate said helplessly, "They were bought from Lin County. People here haven't eaten fruit for many years."

Seeing that the county magistrate is also shriveled, it doesn't look like he has eaten too much oil and water at all. Sima Xurun was so angry that he turned around and glared at Sima Xukong, asking: "Didn't you say that you can come here?" Is it easy to rest? With such conditions, how do you let people rest..."

Sima Xukong was stunned for a moment, then realized that the second prince was talking to himself, and explained: "Second brother's words are really strange. I only said that we have the opportunity to recuperate, but I didn't say that we should enjoy it. Could it be that the marching Is war going out to have fun? It is enough to have water to drink, enough to eat, a place to practice, and sleep, otherwise, what else does the second brother want?"

"I……"

"If the second brother likes prosperity and wealth, then go back to Beijing first. I will send troops to protect the second brother and return to Beijing safely. Presumably the Empress Dowager is also very worried about your safety. Seeing that you are safe, she is relieved." gone."

Although Sima Xurun didn't want to see his younger brother very much, but now that he returns to Beijing, wouldn't that mean giving up everything?He wouldn't be so stupid, so even if he lost face again now, he could only bear it back with hatred and said, "Actually, if you take a closer look, it's not that bad here. Brother Jiu is right, now is not the time to enjoy yourself, it's still time to enjoy yourself." To wipe out the Xu family army first is not to be ashamed of the Empress Dowager's entrustment." After finishing speaking, Sima Xurun walked to a hard seat in a dignified manner, sat down, his eyes were vague looking around.

"Second brother can think so, I feel relieved." Sima Xukong smiled, then looked at the county magistrate and said, "I'm really disturbed by coming here this time."

"You...what are you talking about? It's a blessing for us officials to be able to contribute to the country." The county magistrate didn't expect that the prince was so fierce just now, but this one is so approachable, with a gentle tone, He is always smiling at people, which is really flattering.

"After we get here, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the county. Don't worry, we will discipline our soldiers and won't let them do things that violate the rules. In addition, if they take something from fellow villagers , we will definitely buy it back at the original price, please rest assured that there is no need to cause panic.”

"The Ninth Prince is really too polite, he can serve the country, but what about our duty, don't say that." The county magistrate looked at Sima Xukong flattered, what virtue and ability did he think that he could be so cherished by nobles?Immediately, the impression of Sima Xukong couldn't help but improve a lot.

After saying some comforting words to the county magistrate, Changsun Jingrong asked him to leave first, and planned to take a rest himself.But before he could go out, he was stopped by Sima Xurun,
"Ninth Brother, what you said just now was for me?"

Turning around to look at Sima Xurun who was full of depression, Sima Xukong pretended to be surprised and asked: "Just now I just expressed my feelings, why does the second brother think so?"

With a snort, Sima Xurun said: "Your soldiers are fully equipped, what do you need to buy? But mine is different. Most of the things on my body are either used up or lost. It's time to get some The new one is back. And the purpose of your saying these words is to remind me..."

"If the second brother really needs those things, then you can buy them." Sima Xukong said logically, "If you just take the things and don't pay for them, no matter who it is, wouldn't you be a bandit?"

"I...Of course I don't want to get something for nothing, but, just marching and fighting, who would bring so much money." Sima Xurun explained stammeringly, "Every army has a quartermaster, but my quartermaster I didn’t know where I went, and my things were all thrown on the mountain, so it’s naturally different from your situation.”

After careful consideration, Sima Xukong suggested again: "Then you can use the things you don't need in the barracks and exchange them with others."

"Have you forgotten what I just said? We don't have many things left, and we have to buy a lot of them again. Where can we get the things we don't use and exchange them with others?"

"Is that so..." Sima Xukong said slowly under the enthusiastic gaze of the Second Prince, "Then you can do something for the county magistrate in exchange for reward."

"What did you say...? Ask me to help that county magistrate..." The second prince's voice suddenly became louder, and he said as if he couldn't believe it, "I'm the prince of Long Rui, and I just asked him to send him off. Give me something to honor me, how can he...?"

Seeing that Sima Xurun had finally told the truth, Sima Xukong smiled and said, "Then second brother, go directly to the county magistrate, why are you listening to me?"
