Chapter 41: Perhaps It's an Old Friend (2)

  This wailing sound suddenly echoed, originally in the Zi Garden was very favored, and the person who handled things was also very kind. Many of the girls locked in the garden had a relationship with Chuhua, and when they heard this, they all came out one after another, ignoring the soldiers' obstruction, kneeling around us, crying bitterly for Chuhua.

  At this time, a group of people walked out of Rong Baotang, led by Zi Tongying, who was actually Duan Yuerrong. The soldiers who were escorting us looked bitter and whispered something in his ear. His face slightly displeased, he walked over and stood between me and Hu Canjun, saying coldly: "Is it just for a woman that you're so furious, General Hu? Under the bright sky, you're bullying my gift to you, this female slave. Are you dissatisfied with me or with my father, the king?"

  Hujun Jun still had an angry face: "Why did the young king have to bring up the old king?" He pointed at me and spat fiercely: "I was injured by this stinky bitch, the young king should hand her over to me, let me deal with her properly. Not to mention that I made a great contribution when attacking Xi'an City, the young king should reward me with some beautiful female slaves, but instead he sent this extremely ferocious and cheap woman to me, and I almost got castrated by her."

  The Nanzhao generals and soldiers couldn't help but laugh, with several bursting into loud laughter. However, upon seeing Hu's annoyed expression, they immediately fell silent. Hu continued: "Brothers are also dissatisfied, the young master only cares about his own pleasure, without regard for brothers fighting to the death on the front lines, nor does he reward them with women and wealth to enjoy themselves."

  "Daring and reckless, you're overstepping your bounds! You have no regard for authority. Come on, aren't you going to take me down?" Before Duan Yu Rong could even speak, a cold-faced young man with a tattoo on his left cheek had already called out to the soldiers to step forward. The soldiers under Hu's command didn't back down either, drawing their weapons: "Who dares to move General Hu?"

  Duan Yue's expression didn't change, she waved her hand to stop him: "Meng Zhao."

  He stared at Hu Canjun with his purple eyes: "Since General Hu said that the military merit of attacking Xi'an City is not clear, then let's just make it clear in front of our brothers."

  "I first used the birth control method to capture the thousand gold of Xi'an's defender, Wang Shilang, and use it to coerce him into opening the city gate and letting us in," Duan Yuerong walked over, and the soldiers who were blocking the way all stepped aside. His face was even whiter than a woman's under the sunlight, his purple pupils seemed like radiant purple crystals, extremely captivating. Even some of the soldiers beside him couldn't help but stare blankly: "That Wang Shilang had finally agreed to surrender, but didn't think that General Hu would take a liking to Wang Baochuan, she couldn't bear your insult and hanged herself. So our Nanzhao could have taken Xi'an city without losing a single soldier or general, but instead we had to launch a bloody attack. You, General Hu, ruined my great plan, taking Xi'an city is also a way for you to redeem yourself, it's only natural!"

  "Hu Canjun was taken aback: 'That... that is... I don't know where Commander Ke Mo will go, but this woman's nature is so fierce.'"

  Duan Yuexiang sighed and said, "This woman is a Han person, and she is also a general's daughter. Chastity is extremely important to her. When Hu Canjun conquered Xi'an City, he was indeed brave and invincible." Duan Yuexiang looked at Hu Yong with a proud expression on his face, walked over, and suddenly kicked him in the head, sending him crashing to the ground with blood all over his face. The women present only screamed after that, and Hu Yong's trusted followers had just remembered to draw their swords when they were beheaded by Duan Yuexiang's subordinates one after another, staining the garden with blood.

  Duan Yue's face was cold as she gazed at Hu Yong, who was struggling on the ground. She spoke in a sinister tone: "Indeed, you didn't get my consent, yet you allowed your brothers to plunder and loot. Tell me, how many women did you and your subordinates capture, and how much wealth did you seize? And still, you say I'm unfair with rewards? I haven't made you spit it out, but I'll punish you for disobeying military orders and taking unauthorized action. It's only because you're an old subordinate of my father that I've been lenient. Now, you dare to openly defy me, truly shameless! You think you're my elder?"

  Duan Yue's handsome face turned cold and cruel as he walked up to me, glanced at the painting, furrowed his brow: "Meng Zhao, I recall you asked for this woman from me before. If you still want her, I'll give her to you."

  Ban Zhao didn't even lift an eyebrow: "Thank you, Master, for your reward." He walked over quickly and said to me politely: "Miss Yuan, she needs treatment. You hand her over to me, I'll find someone to treat her."

  I lifted my tearful eyes and looked at this person carefully, the hard lines, the grayish-black eyes showed a hint of coldness, but when looking at Chu Hua, there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. Zhen Zhu said softly to me: "Miss, you can rest assured that Chu Hua is in good hands with this man, he is the only one among the Nan Zhao people who did not indulge in plundering in Zi Yuan Garden."

  I took off the blood-stained white silk from my body, wrapped Chu in it, and handed it to a young man named Meng Zhao. As I hesitated, someone grabbed my hair from behind, causing me to cry out in pain. When I looked up, I saw those cold, purple eyes: "Listen up, soldiers! You've had your fun, you've plundered enough. It's time to focus. Don't let playing with women make you weak. The Yu family army will counterattack soon. From now on, these new slaves and the soldiers under Hu Canjun's command will be under General Meng Zhao's jurisdiction. You should focus on training, without any mistakes. This Yuan Feiyan is exclusively mine, and I have great use for her. Whoever dares to touch her, I will punish with dismemberment."

  Duan Yue let go of my hands, and due to inertia, I fell heavily to the ground. I was surrounded by little stars, and then I felt someone's sharp fingernails digging into my arm, pulling me up. A shrill, high-pitched female voice sounded in my ear: "She is not Yuan Feiyan, she is not Yuan Feiyan."

  I raised my head in shock, only to see a woman with tattered clothes and disheveled long hair tightly grasping my arm. She was being pulled by an iron chain by a lecherous old man. The old man had beady eyes, a nose red from drinking, and swollen hands. He opened his arms, revealing the woman, then knelt down in front of Duan Yue with a flattering expression. Duan Yue looked at him with disgust: "What do you want?" A small soldier rushed over and knelt down, saying: "This old man said he used to be an administrator in the Imperial Garden, and his daughter was the number one beauty there. He said he came to offer her to you, sir. The young woman was brought here by force, but she suddenly rushed in on her own, and I couldn't stop her."

  My heart tightened, and this woman was actually Xiang Qin. Xiang Qin glared at me viciously: "She is not the original Second Miss, she is Bai San Ye's concubine Hua Mu Jin."

  I gazed at her coldly, but she stared back at me with a nervous expression, saying in terror: "No, you're not Huamu Jin, you're Huajin Xiu. No! You're a flower demon, and you and your sister are both demons. You've bewitched the master, and your hearts are as venomous as snakes and scorpions. It was your little brother Wu who led the Nanzhao army in, and you won't be satisfied until you destroy the Yuan family."

  At this time, a woman with a dirty body rushed in from behind. It was Lian Rui's family. She grabbed the old man who was holding Xiang Qin and cried: "You beast, you are so cruel! You beat your own daughter and now you want to give her to the barbarians of Nanzhao?"

  Lian Lao's foot kicked Lian Rui's family to the ground, and he spat a mouthful of thick phlegm: "She is my own daughter, what can I do if I beat her? If I don't hurt her, will she listen to me obediently?" Lian Lao turned his head back, smiling fawningly at Duan Yue: "Your Excellency, this king, my daughter is a famous beauty in the Zi Garden. Originally, she was supposed to be sent to Qing Da... not as a concubine of Qing's, if Your Excellency hadn't come, she would have followed Yuan Fei as a companion. Look at this delicate skin," Lian Rui's old man grabbed Xiang Qin's hair and forced her to lift her head, revealing that frightened pretty face, "Your Excellency can rest assured, she will serve you well."

  Duan Yue glanced at her and sneered: "This is obviously a madwoman, deceive the imperial edict, you deal with the rest."

  Lian Rui's family cried: "Xiang Qin, my poor child, how did you end up with such a heartless old father." However, the poor girl in her mouth was just staring at me fiercely, constantly scolding me as a flower demon.

  Lian Rui's family stared at me and also cried out in surprise: "This is Huamu Lan, the Huamu Lan of Xifeng Garden! How dare you impersonate Yuan Erniang!"

  Even Lao Tou glanced at me sideways and exclaimed: "This is absolutely not the original Second Miss, I see her every day."

  Duan Yue's face was cold as she spoke to Zhen Zhu: "You're the eldest maid in Zi Yuan, you tell me, is this woman really Huamu Jin?"

  Zhenzhu Town firmly looked at Lian Rui's family and Lian Lao, with a stern face, saying: "Yu Erniang has been kind to you, how can you be so disloyal and unrighteous?"

  Lian Ruijia and Lian Lao continued to argue, but Zhenzhu once again demonstrated her leadership in the Purple Garden, and since Lian Ruijia and Xiangqin had been too arrogant all along, the other maids began scolding them, calling them shameless, conscienceless, and saying they had lost all sense of decency.
