Zhou Xiaoxiao went to visit Gongsunyu several times in the following days.
Seeing that although she was "recuperating" in bed weakly, her mental state was fairly good.
Gongsun Yu showed strength that was completely inconsistent with her weak appearance, and Zhou Xiaoxiao had never seen her drop a single tear.
Only once did she take Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand, put her lustrous face on the back of Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, I know I'm wrong. If I make my life this time, I'll change it later. ."
Zhou Xiaoxiao observed for several days and knew that Gongsun Yu's mother must have secretly resolved the matter properly. Just let go.
…
One day, King Yan Cheng Shizhao came to visit. Because he saw the sky frequently, the servants took him directly to the courtyard where Yu Xingzhi's study was located.
Fang Zhi was outside the courtyard, and a sonorous sound of the piano came through the wind.
I saw the exquisite courtyard, Yu Xingzhi was dressed in Tsing Yi, sitting cross-legged under the sycamore tree, tune the silk tree with his hands.
Ten fingers flying snow, seven strings move Purple Emperor.
Many voices frowned, and Wanhe listened to the sound of pine.
Zhou Xiaoxiao danced a long gun to the sound of the piano in the courtyard.
The silver light shone, shaking the stars, and the sound of the piano went straight to the sky.
Cheng Shizhao leaned against the courtyard gate and gave a few clappings.
"Other families have men dancing swords and women tuning pianos. Your family is better. Everything is the other way around."
"Your Highness, you are not happy if you don't raise your bar for a day." Zhou Xiaoxiao said.
She practiced with sweat all over her face, and when she saw Yu Xingzhi bringing a towel over, she naturally put her face close.
Yu Xingzhi carefully wiped away the sweat for her.
Cheng Shizhao covered his eyes and was speechless, feeling that he had no eyes to see.
Zigui, you poor man. It's just a shame for our elders.
…
The three of them sat down at the side of the tea table by the guest of honor.
Cheng Shizhao looked back and forth at Yu Xingzhi several times, pondered for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Zigui, Your Majesty has the intention of expeditioning the Liao Kingdom in the north. If you want me to be the commander-in-chief of the army and in charge of the central army, you..."
Zhou Xiaoxiao heard that the two were going to discuss military and political matters, so she planned to get up and avoid it.
Cheng Shizhao stopped her: "Just sit and listen."
Yu Xingzhi and Zhou Xiaoxiao exchanged glances. Seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded encouragingly.
Then he said, "Since that's the case, I'll go with my cousin."
Cheng Shizhao glanced at Zhou Xiaoxiao: "You... don't you have any opinion?"
He couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart. After hanging out with Zigui for a long time, I was as useless as him. Men have made great achievements, so why should they care about the opinions of the mother-in-law at home.
Zhou Xiaoxiao blinked her big innocent eyes and spread her hands: "I have no opinion."
Cheng Shizhao let out a long sigh in his heart, thinking that this woman usually escapes, and she is still reasonable in matters of right and wrong.
In the eighteenth year of Jinyuan, the Son of Heaven bestowed a golden seal on soldiers and appointed Cheng Shizhao, the Prince of Yan, as the military marshal, raising 200,000 troops to expedition Daliao in the north.
Cheng Shizhao, the Prince of Yan in that year, had six out of twenty.
Under the post of Grand Marshal, he dispatched troops from various states, together with a total of 200,000 troops, and the troops were divided into three groups to go on the Northern Expedition.
The champion Hou Yu Xingzhi was in his twenties and forty-four. He was the deputy of the King of Yan, and he also led the Central Route Army.
On the day of the expedition, the flags shrouded the sky and the sun, and the armor of the elite soldiers and generals choked.
Cheng Shizhao was in high spirits when he first took up the post of military marshal.
But inevitably a little apprehensive.
When the army set up camp, he led the lieutenants to Yu Xingzhi's camp to discuss military affairs.
Yu Xingzhi was sitting in the account reading a volume of military books, with a guard standing behind him.
This person is not obvious, but his eyes are bright and restrained, and his expression is extraordinary.
Cheng Shizhao glanced at him casually.
But it was a big surprise.
Pointing at the person: "You... you... "
With the power of Prince Yan, the little guard was not afraid, and even rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Cheng Shizhao was furious: "Zigui! This is a marching war! You, you, you even brought her with you!"
The guard didn't know the superiority or inferiority, and even confronted him face to face: "Your Highness, what do you mean? Do you think that a certain skill is not enough to be the champion Hou Zhiwei?"
"Is this a question of incompetence? You, you, how can you follow the barracks?"
The man was rude: "Hmph, the lord looks down on him like this. I think the lord is surrounded by talented people. I would like to ask for advice. See who is not qualified to guard in this military camp."
Behind Cheng Shizhao stood a tower-like man.
"This fellow Wu is so rude, how dare he speak so outspoken in front of the lord. Let the Sa family come and learn your great tricks."
This person's surname is Meng, his name is Zhongtian, and he is from Kansai.
With brute force, a pair of 120-pound copper hammers are the vanguard and favorite generals under Prince Yan's tent.
Seeing that Yu Xingzhi's guard was so rude, Meng Zhongtian was already resentful in his heart. At this moment, when he heard his provocative words, he couldn't hold back any longer. He jumped out and made a gesture when he shouted.
Cheng Shizhao's bodyguard, Guo Suren, had seen Zhou Xiaoxiao pretending to be a man and beating Cheng Shizhao under him.
At this moment, when I saw Zhou Xiaoxiao dressed as a bodyguard, I felt that my head was as big as a fight, and I secretly complained in my heart.
Auntie, who wants to compete with you.
If you win, others say you bully women, and if you lose, it's even more embarrassing.
I can't think of Meng Zhongtian's brother on my side.
With a bull-like temperament, he was provoked a few words, and hurriedly bumped into it. He hurriedly pulled Meng Zhongtian's sleeve and winked vigorously.
But I heard that Zhou Xiaoxiao said: "Okay, although this one is down, let's go to the school outside to compare, it's not a man who dare not compare."
Meng Zhongtian couldn't control Guo Suren's wink, he flung the curtain and went out first.
Zhou Xiaoxiao succeeded in her trick, and followed him out with a smile.
Guo Suren covered his eyes with his hands, and said bitterly in his heart: Little auntie, aren't you fooling my brother? You are not a man at all.
Cheng Shizhao was furious and said to Yu Xingzhi, "You don't care about her?"
Yu Xingzhi touched his nose and called out from behind, "Xiaoxiao, be careful with your actions, don't hurt the prince's people."
…
During the march, the days were dull and boring.
Everyone in the camp is a man with strong blood.
I heard that the masters under the champion Hou are going to compete with the vanguard general Meng Zhongtian.
For a while, everyone seemed to have won something lucky, and they were so excited that they surrounded the temporary school grounds.
Only that Meng Zhongtian, red sandalwood skin, nine feet tall, with a leopard head and eyes, a tiger body and a wolf body. Going to the venue for a stop, it was a majestic big man.
In comparison, the guard surnamed Zhou of the champion Hou looked like a weak chicken against a fierce tiger, which was not enough to watch. Not to mention his stature, he has fair complexion and handsome features.
So some non-commissioned officers on the sidelines who made good friends with Meng Zhongtian laughed and said, "Master Wu, I advise you to admit defeat early. Master Meng didn't make a big move. He broke your legs and feet. When you look back, Master Hou doesn't look good."
Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled but didn't get angry. She took a stand and said, "Please enlighten me!"
Neither of them used weapons, they only agreed to fight with their bare hands.
That Meng Zhongtian wailed strangely, like a hungry tiger rushing towards its prey, the prey of an eagle.
He opened his two iron arms and rushed towards him.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was not afraid, just stretched out her seemingly white palm and firmly caught the cast iron arms.
With a meal under his feet, he didn't take a step back.
The two were deadlocked for a moment, but Meng Zhongtian was a little unsupportive.
Meng Zhongtian was shocked.
I thought to myself: This person is so small, it is unbelievable that he has such great strength.
With a loud shout, he put his hands aside, and used his feet to make great gains and falls, trying to trip up his opponent.
But he felt numb in his knees, and his calf was weak.
Fortunately, he has practiced the lower set for many years, and his legs and feet are extraordinarily solid. He stumbled a few steps and did not fall down immediately.
Quickly jump out of the circle.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was also surprised here.
These two techniques of acupoint-pointing are secret methods passed down by Wu Dao's family, and Zhou Xiaoxiao has made them proficient.
When facing the enemy, use it, and you will fall if you hit it.
In this clear point, the opponent has not fallen.
So he also put away his contempt.
Meng Zhongtian only felt a flower before his eyes, and the little figure disappeared for a while.
Looking everywhere.
Suddenly, the back collar and trousers waist were tight, and the sky was spinning for a while, and he was lifted up by someone.
Everyone only heard Zhou Xiaoxiao shout, and actually lifted the iron tower-like Meng Zhongtian above his head and threw it out far away.
Meng Zhongtian was in the air, and his heart was screaming bitterly.
It's just that this time it takes a heavy fall. Can't afford to climb.
Who would have thought that when he landed, he only felt that the strength was very light, and there was not much pain.
Knowing that the other party left his hand, he felt ashamed and ashamed. With his face flushed, he got up and cupped his hands: "Brother Zhou is very good at handling it, he has put on his family clothes, he has served them!"
There were cheers and cheers all around.
The men in the army, the most respectful of those who have real ability.
Zhou Xiaoxiao fought big and fought hard to win.
So it won the favor of the people. No longer blindly support Meng Zhongtian.
One person jumped out of the crowd: "Rongan in the next chapter. I also want to learn from Brother Zhou."
The man held a steel gun with a hard iron point, and first made a false claim, holding it in a loud voice, and said in his mouth: "We are marching people, but also rely on the ability of weapons. I don't know what Brother Zhou is so good at. instrument?"
When Zhou Xiaoxiao saw that this man used a gun like himself, he felt itchy. Bringing up his silver gun is about to end.
Yu Xingzhi stopped the two of them, removed the gun head, wrapped it in a cloth, and the cloth was covered with lime.
Win or lose based on how much white and gray you have painted on your body.
Fang was relieved to let Zhou Xiaoxiao end the match.
For a while, the sky was windy and the red dust was rolling in the field, and I saw two dragons going out to sea to grab pearls, which was spectacular.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was like a fish in water, and he made several comparisons in succession, without a single defeat, and everyone was convinced.
When returning to camp.
That Meng Zhongtian hooked on Zhou Xiaoxiao's shoulder and called him a brother.
Guo Suren was in a hurry, winking like killing a chicken and wiping his neck.
Meng Zhongtian stared and said, "Old Guo, what are you doing, your eyes are about to pop out. I said Lao Guo, you are too boring, you must have known that Brother Zhou is so good. But he deliberately didn't tell me, and he just stared blankly. Watching me lose such a big ugliness in front of my brothers."
Guo Suren covered his face and was speechless.
I thought to myself: You idiot, no wonder the brother didn't remind you. Don't take your stinky paws off. Didn't you see that Hou Ye's face was as black as the bottom of a pot
Until the night is about to rest.
In Yu Xingzhi's tent, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Yu Xingzhi slept in separate beds due to the marching army to fight.
Zhou Xiaoxiao finished washing and was making her bed.
Yu Xingzhi, who was sitting on the head of the bed in plain white clothes, suddenly said, "Xiaoxiao, you haven't compared with me for a long time. We also have a competition."
Zhou Xiaoxiao said oddly, "Now? What?"
Yu Xingzhi was a little unnatural: "It's better than anything. It's okay to wrestle."
Zhou Xiaoxiao rolled into his arms.
"Brother Xingzhi, in order to stick with you every day, I used all my martial arts skills today, and finally got a foothold in this barracks. I won't be driven back by that bastard Cheng Shizhao."
She wrapped around Yu Xingzhi's waist, and arched her long-haired head back and forth in his arms.
"I'm exhausted. My waist is sore and my back hurts too. Why don't we have better massage skills than anyone else. Give me a squeeze first, okay? Okay?"
So Yu Xingzhi instantly threw that little jealousy out of the sky. Willing to work hard for the lady.
