Ming Empire

Chapter 69 You Are Too Childish

Cao Yue's indignant words, followed by the last bah, stunned the red lady and didn't know how to respond.What Cao Yue said had some truth, but it was her husband who directly buried others in this way, and Hong Niangzi was also very angry and had the urge to kill someone. "You insult my husband like this, believe it or not, I will kill you?"

"You insulted me first!" Cao Yue looked directly at the very angry red lady, and said seriously: "Now you are my prisoner, if I want to kill you, it will only be a blink of an eye, without any effort. You If you want to kill me, there is no chance. Also, you wanted to kill me just now, but I didn’t treat you like that. You sneaked around the barracks to scout the situation, and after you were captured, you tried to kill me, the most military officer in Datong. It stands to reason that I can execute you Lingchi. But I don't want to kill you now, and I am going to let you go. Do you think that if it were your husband, General Li Yan, he would do this? If you can't do it, he will do the same No, it can be said that my belly is not comparable to you, I am very magnanimous. Haha, to sum up, in general, whether it is your ten husband Li Yan, or your red lady, compared with me, Cao Yue, It's too far away. These shoes are not worthy, so I can't accept it, and I'll give it back to you and my wife."

It stands to reason that Cao Yue would not quarrel with Hong Niangzi like this, but for some reason, being looked down upon by her, he couldn't help but refute, and even put a high hat on his head.At first, I was very angry when I spoke, but afterward, I found it quite interesting.

"You...you are too much," the red lady retorted with a blushing face regardless of being Cao Yue's prisoner now: "Cao Zongbing is indeed extraordinary in military exploits, he was reused by the court at a young age, and he has the capital to be proud of. But have you seen that the world is dark today, officials big and small are corrupt, people in many places are struggling to survive, and the government has repeatedly increased taxes. The people can’t survive, so they rise up to resist tyranny. The purpose of our rebel army is to save the people from the fire and water .As long as we destroy Baoming, the people of the world will live a better life. We are doing justice for the heavens, and you are helping the evil, and you don’t need to say who is superior and who is inferior!”

However, Hong Niangzi also admitted that what Cao Yue said still had some truth. Compared with Cao Yue, they were indeed inferior in terms of military exploits. Welcome to the Chuanguo Yuxi, no matter which one it is, it is an inexhaustible military exploit, which is admirable.Because of this kind of mentality, and Cao Yue's righteous words when speaking, the anger in her heart lessened unknowingly, and she didn't get into a rage.

"Then let me ask you a question, if your rebel army takes over the world, what are you going to do to make the people live a better life?"

This made the red lady stunned for a moment. She had never thought about this question before, but she still answered bravely: "If Baoming is destroyed, King Chuang will definitely find a way to make the people live a better life. You do not worry."

As the red lady said, her thoughts of persuading Cao Yue to surrender unconsciously rose again, and she said again immediately: "Cao Zongbing, I know that you are a brave and resourceful general, and you are kind to the people. If you can join our volunteer army, you will definitely be rewarded." Warm welcome from King Chuang and other brothers. Come up with us, wipe out Baoming, kill the old man Chongzhen, and restore peace to the people of the world."

"Do you really think that if Li Zicheng seizes the world, the people will be able to live a good life and the world will be peaceful?" Cao Yue said sarcastically, "I can only say that you are too naive. The slogan of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong raising troops They are all for the sake of the people of the world, but why don’t the two rogues unite for the sake of the people of the world? Why do they care about power and status, as well as the strength of the territory and the army under their command? It can only be said that they are all for the sake of Selfish interests are all for their own ulterior motives, not for the righteousness of the world. Also, have the people lived a good life in the places they captured?"

"Perhaps you don't want to admit it, but the fact is that your rebels have suffered more and more disasters for the people. The war has destroyed many families and destroyed many properties. The strength of our Han nation has been greatly damaged. Without your rebellion, tens of thousands of The common people will not die in the flames of war. Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and their high-ranking officials, who would think about the suffering of the common people now, they themselves live a life of extravagance, and the extent of exploiting the common people is no less than that of the Ming court. What kind of life do they live? Life, I believe you know better than me. You also know more about their struggle for profit than I do. So don't say those grandiose words, the truth is there, your rebellion can only bring disaster to the people of the world, You also helped Jiannu, so it can be said that you are preparing to destroy Daming together with Jiannu. Hehe, I have made an oath that I will destroy Jiannu in this life, put down the bandits, and bring peace to the world!"

"You're talking nonsense, it's not like this!" Hong Niangzi was a little anxious, but couldn't think of any words to refute.

"That's how things are, but you don't want to admit it." Without waiting for the red lady to say anything else, Cao Yue followed up: "I believe you know the reason why my father died. I and the rogue There are different hatreds, and in this life, I will fight against the captives and the invaders, build a stable world for the people of the world, and cut off the trespasser's head to pay homage to my father."

"I can also tell you very responsibly, whether it is Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, they will not be successful, and will eventually be destroyed. With me, Cao Yue, the world will be peaceful in the end. I advise you, Miss Hong, to stop mixing with bandits Together, otherwise one day you will end up in a situation where you will die without a burial place. Li Zicheng is suspicious. His subordinates Liu Zongmin and Niu Jinxing are all vulgar people who are jealous of talents. Your husband Li Yan will also be jealous of them, saying Maybe one day I will die at their hands. I won’t say that I want to recruit you to my tent, but I can promise you that if you are desperate one day, I will help you. Not for getting anything, just because I admire you. As a lady, I admire your chivalry!"

"No! You're talking nonsense!" The red lady lost her momentum.

Cao Yue's last two words of praise for her made her a little proud, but also made her unable to refute Cao Yue with righteous words.

"Believe it or not. Hehe, I'm kind enough to remind you. Don't forget, back then, my cousin Cao Bianjiao led an army to kill Li Zicheng in such a state of embarrassment that he almost killed him. You also know Jiannu's fighting power , They were all defeated by our brothers. Do you think your rebel army is stronger than them in fighting power and can defeat the officer army led by our brothers? Hehe, red girl, although you are very skilled in martial arts, don't be self-righteous. If you lead Army against me, I will surely kill you and flee miserably, the same is true for my husband Li Yan, and Li Zicheng is not much better. A word of advice, don't try to block the car with your arms."

Cao Yue insulted those people she admired all over the place, and even said that the rebels were useless, in a contemptuous tone. After hearing this, the red lady became angry again, and was very anxious to explain clearly, but she didn't know how to refute it. Cao Yue.In the end, he even forgot that his hands and feet were tied, and impulsively wanted to rush over to reason with Cao Yue, but his body lost his balance and fell to the ground with a plop.

Her fall also interrupted Cao Yue's impassionedness. Seeing the shy and anxious Hong Niang who fell to the ground, struggling and unable to get up, Cao Yue was a little bit dumbfounded.He hesitated for a moment, but still walked over, supported the red lady's body, and made her stand up.

The red lady struggled desperately to prevent Cao Yue from touching her body. As a result, she broke free from Cao Yue's hand, lost her balance, and fell into Cao Yue's hand involuntarily.Cao Yue subconsciously stretched out his arms and hugged Hong Niangzi tightly.
