The soldier held the arrow in both hands and presented it to him.
Qiu Cheng looked at it and had a bad feeling in his heart.
I didn't reach out to take it immediately.
He asked, "Where did you find this?"
The soldier looked embarrassed, but he did not dare to disobey the order and told the truth: "Just now, an arrow was shot from outside the camp and hit the flag."
Qiu Cheng was naturally furious when he heard this.
It was easy to tell who had sent this feather arrow. He almost snatched the feather arrow and tore off the white paper.
After a few seconds of unfolding, a few large characters appeared in front of the eyes. Before the wife of the first wife came closer to take a look, she saw Qiu Cheng's body shaking a few times, and he almost fainted. He also heard the sound of grinding his back teeth, and he uttered a few words: "This is too much! Shen Youli is too much!"
"Lord!"
She stepped forward to support him and showed concern.
With a glance, I inadvertently saw the contents on the paper.
Just nine simple words -
Qiu Wenyan, wash your neck clean!
Her face turned pale: "Who is so rude and arrogant?"
Miao Shu didn't see the content, but from the reactions of Qiu Cheng and his wife, she could tell that the content on the paper was unfriendly, and most likely it was "sent" by Shen Tang. She said calmly, "It should be Shen Youli. Such a move is nothing more than a revenge for the Nanyu County granary."
When the lady heard that it was Shen Tang, she was a little bit unconvinced and scolded him in a shrill voice: "I heard that this man was known for his kindness in the early years. I thought he was a famous person from an aristocratic family. I never thought he was such a stubborn, rebellious and unruly person. He really went too far!"
Miao Shu: “…”
She probably couldn't understand this distant aunt.
Doesn’t she understand the principle of reciprocity
On second thought—
The other party should understand, but what he cares more about is Shen Tang's irritating and slapping methods. In her consistent view, even if the two forces completely tear each other apart, under the restraint of education and reserve, they should be "polite", "smile with a knife in their heart", "silk with a needle in its sleeve", rather than throwing tantrums like ordinary people. After thinking this through, Miao Shu lost interest in further investigation and returned to indifference.
Shen Tang's words were quite shocking.
It took Qiu Cheng a while to recover.
This was followed by waves of raging anger.
Because of last night’s defeat and because of Shen Tang’s arrogance.
As the actual ruler of the Qiu family, he had not experienced the feeling of being looked down upon, threatened, and beaten by others for a long time. Shen Tang's letter, which was not really a manifesto, made everything he had tried to ignore in the past come flooding back like a tide...
The other party was just a kid in his eyes.
This made Qiu Cheng feel even more humiliated.
"furious!"
A scolding came out of his mouth.
"Pass on my order and prepare for battle!"
"If Shen Youli dares to come, he won't be able to leave!"
Because of Shen Tang's taunting operation, Qiu Cheng had no intention of pursuing the details of last night, nor did he want to listen to the loser's rebuttal. He felt a little sad about losing two experienced warriors, but their strength was not that high in his account, and they were not irreplaceable. So, he softened his expression and told the seriously injured eighth-class public servant not to think too much, and the most important thing was to heal his injuries...
The eighth-rank official agreed with great shame.
And he promised: "Next time I fight with Shen Ze's gang, I will use their heads to wash away last night's shame!"
Failure would make the morale low, but if done properly, it could also make the soldiers united against the enemy. At this time, it was natural to appease them with kind words and arrange for the posthumous compensation of the fallen soldiers. Qiu Cheng was a man of means, and his operation really boosted the morale of his men.
"Shun Niang, come here."
"only."
He could ignore the eighth-class carriage, but—
Bang!
There were only him, his wife and Miao Shu in the tent.
The wife was worried about how to comfort her husband.
The next moment, the gloomy husband turned around and swung his hand, hitting Miao Shu squarely on the right cheek, leaving the former stunned and the latter unable to stand and falling to the ground. As the red palm marks appeared, a streak of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At that moment, Miao Shu felt that the world was silent.
When the sound reappeared in her ears, the burning and severe pain on her cheeks made her forget to think, and her mind was blank.
He didn't even know when he was helped up by his wife.
Madam looked distressed, anxious, and a little afraid, and lowered her voice: "... My dear, why are you so desperate? Although we failed last night, it was not Shu Niang's fault alone. The Shen thief was more skilled and ambushed us early. How could human power have done everything?"
They were a young couple and knew each other well. She had seen Qiu Cheng in many embarrassing situations, but had never seen him lose control and attack.
This time she was really shocked.
Qiu Cheng just glared at her coldly.
Said to Miao Shu: "Reflect on yourself carefully."
After saying this, he left the tent.
He left behind two wives and concubines.
The wife looked a little helpless.
The person who usually speaks eloquently now stutters and hesitates: "Shu, Shuniang, the master is not like this usually... Maybe, maybe the loss last night was too great, or maybe Shen Youli's letter was too rude... That's why he couldn't control his anger..."
Miao Shu blinked and managed to regain some sanity.
He sneered, "Can't control your anger?"
His words were filled with sarcasm, his knuckles turned white, and he asked his aunt sternly, "Is he unable to control his anger now? Then why didn't he slap his favorite general in front of everyone just now? Does he dare? Can he? Isn't he a bully who only fears the strong and only bullies the weak?"
The wife's eyes widened when she heard this.
He raised his hand to cover her mouth.
"You are hysterical and crazy!"
Miao Shu turned his head away, panting heavily, "If he was the one who lost last night, would he be able to slap him like that?"
Throughout history, how many subordinates have been slapped in the face
Such a great humiliation could befall her
Just because she doesn't need to be respected
So it can be trampled on
At that moment, Miao Shu's hatred for Qiu Cheng even exceeded that for the imaginary enemy Shen Tang in her mind. The hatred and cruelty bursting out of her eyes were like that of a bloodthirsty and mad she-wolf, which frightened the wife who thought she had Miao Shu firmly under her control.
"Shu, Shuniang?"
Miao Shu closed her eyes and suppressed the surging anger in her heart. She raised her hand to break free from the support of the wife and said coldly: "Aunt, I should reflect on myself. Please do as you please. Also, the man you cherish is no cleaner than the men in the aunt's house in my eyes. In fact, he is not as comfortable as the servant I bought. Of course, you don't need to knock me every now and then, and you can rest assured!"
The wife of the first wife was stunned by this bold statement. She couldn't help but think of a detail - just after she persuaded Miao Shu to follow Qiu Cheng, Miao Shu hesitated and said that she needed two days to think about it. She went out for a night before returning.
Although the current social world is open-minded about men and women, there are still very few people who can do such a thing, not to mention that this person is the concubine of the leader of a faction.
The wife let out a breath of foul air.
Faced with a powerful enemy, she didn't intend to care about this matter.
Shen Tang is a man who always keeps his word.
She reminded Qiu Cheng to clean his neck and wait for her, which meant she was not joking, but she would really come with a sword and kill him!
"We have a connection with Sibao County. The makeshift team started in Sibao County four years ago. Now, we use Sibao County as a springboard - Qiu Wenyan, our neighbor, knows how to give warmth." At the morning meeting, he attended the meeting with everyone while chewing a pancake.
