The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 185 Xiao Ying flatters

In the 35th year of Chenghua in the Daqing period, Zhou Chunfeng and Xiao Chao led the rebel army to repel the Northern Di. The battle lasted for a year and a half.

During these two years, the Di invaders in the north were defeated step by step, and all their existing territories were captured by the rebels. The royal family of the Northern Di was captured, and countless gold, silver and treasures were seized. Tens of thousands of enemy troops were captured and sent into exile.

It can be said that during the eleven years of chaotic war, the rebel army seemed to have received divine help. They turned the tide from their initial disadvantaged combat power and became the most brave and fearless army in China.

The generals led by Xiao Ce had been preparing for a long time, waiting for Zhou Chunfeng and the other two to return triumphantly from Yingzhou. That would be the perfect time to attack the imperial city.

In the main camp, Zhou Chunfeng replied to a secret letter sent by Xiao Ce via express horse from Jinzhou City. Soon, Xiao Ce dispatched generals to take full control of the northern border (now renamed Yingzhou City), and he and Xiao Chao would lead a portion of their troops to the imperial city to join the commander-in-chief.

"General Zhou~"

Zhou Chunfeng had just sealed the secret letter with wax when a soft and gentle voice came from behind the curtain.

Zhou Chunfeng raised his eyebrows and looked up to see the slim and graceful Xiao Ying coming in with a tray in her hands, with a decent smile on her face and beautiful eyes full of longing.

"Miss Xiao~" Zhou Chunfeng stood up very tactfully and kept a certain polite distance from the other party as he approached the table.

Seeing Zhou Chunfeng avoiding her like a vicious person, Xiao Ying felt frustrated, but she didn't show it on her face. She was still very attentive and brought the teacup to her.

"General Zhou, this is the calming tea I personally prepared for you. It's rare that the war in the northern border has ended. I hope General Zhou can relax and have a good rest."

Zhou Chunfeng was not stupid. Xiao Ying had been flirting with him several times and trying to please him, so how could he not know what the other girl was thinking?

"Miss Xiao, you are too polite. I am still busy with official business and I am afraid that I may have offended your kindness."

Faced with Zhou Chunfeng's polite refusal, Xiao Ying remained unperturbed. Instead, she smiled flatteringly and said, "Look at what General Zhou said. General Zhou has worked hard for the rebels for many years. It is my daughter's blessing to be able to work for General Zhou."

Zhou Chunfeng: ...

Seeing Xiao Ying approaching again, Zhou Chunfeng had no choice but to turn away from the desk and evade her. He bowed and said, "I hope Miss Xiao will respect herself. I still have official business to attend to."

After saying this, without waiting for Xiao Ying to react, he picked up the envelope on the table and strode out of the tent.

Xiao Ying looked at the man in disbelief as he slipped away in front of her. She felt angry and annoyed, and cursed Zhou Chunfeng for being ungrateful and unromantic.

What's wrong with Xiao Ying? Is she not as good as Zhou Chunfeng's wife in the countryside? How can an elderly peasant woman be compared with the daughter of the Xiao family?

It should be his blessing that she could see Zhou Chunfeng.

Soon, the eldest and second brothers captured the imperial city, and the Xiao family's status rose accordingly.

At that time, Zhou Chunfeng was still not worthy of her status!

She was really angry!

What a great Zhou Chunfeng! She doesn’t believe that she can’t win this man over!

On this side, Zhou Chunfeng lifted the tent curtain with a gloomy expression and glared coldly at the soldiers guarding outside the tent.

At this moment, Shen Wei, the deputy general under Zhou Chunfeng, who had obtained the carriage, hurried back from the toilet. Seeing that his master's face was not right, he hurriedly said cautiously: "General, what happened?"

Zhou Chunfeng glanced at Shen Wei, feeling depressed. He said that if Shen Wei was outside the tent, he would never let a woman break into his tent at will.

However, he didn't want something like what happened today to happen again. He glanced indifferently at the four soldiers on either side and said, "Stand at attention for two hours, not a quarter of an hour less."

The soldiers knew what they had done wrong, but they were completely helpless. Miss Xiao was the master, a noble woman, and they couldn't stop her just by saying so.

So, they were willing to accept the punishment: “Yes.”

"If it happens again, we will punish you according to military regulations."

Upon hearing this, several soldiers were so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their eyebrows: "As you command."

Shen Wei scratched his head in confusion: "General——"

"Pick a few more clever ones and come over." Zhou Chunfeng cut him off coldly and continued, "Next time I let someone into my tent, you'll have to find your own way out."

Shen Wei was startled, then realized belatedly that those young men had let people into the general's tent without authorization.

Should!

You have followed General Zhou for so long, but you still don’t know your master’s temperament. You deserve to be punished.

However, he was more curious about who the soldiers had let into the tent just now. He looked up at Zhou Chunfeng's creepy gaze and was so scared that his throat was choked.

Don't be curious anymore.

"Yes, General." After Shen Wei said that, he turned around and went to the camp to pick out a few smart soldiers to guard the tents.

Zhou Chunfeng put his hands behind his back, took a deep breath, and was about to call Ming Yi to send someone to deliver the letter.

"Hey, Lao Zhou~"

But then, Xiao Chao came towards them with a smile on his face, holding his three-month-old son.

Xie followed closely behind and politely bowed to Zhou Chunfeng, "General Zhou."

Zhou Chunfeng tried his best to suppress his emotion and returned the greeting: "Sister-in-law."

Having been brothers for many years, Xiao Chao could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Zhou Chunfeng. He wondered if someone had offended him.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Chao noticed the envelope he was holding behind him while asking, "But what did my eldest brother say in the letter? Could it be that something is wrong with the matter in the capital?"

At this critical juncture, attacking the imperial city is imminent and necessary. Xiao Chao is worried that something might be wrong with the commander's troops in the front.

Zhou Chunfeng took a deep breath and said coldly, "Nothing."

Because of Xiao Ying's incident, Zhou Chunfeng felt indescribable annoyance when he saw Xiao Chao. "Send someone to take a letter to the master."

Hearing this, Xiao Chao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said heartlessly: "I'm glad you're okay, haha~"

After Zhou Chunfeng finished speaking, he stopped talking and left.

Xie noticed Zhou Chunfeng's abnormality, and with her sharp mind as a woman, she also noticed that there were no soldiers guarding the tent.

He couldn't help but frowned: "Why is there no one guarding General Zhou's tent?"

Xiao Chao realized it later and just as he was beginning to have doubts, he saw Shen Wei leading four soldiers.

"Watch out, anyone who comes to visit must first report to the general before being allowed in."

"Yes."

After Shen Wei finished his instructions, he turned around and bowed to Xiao Chao and his wife, "Second Master, Second Madam."

Xiao Chao blinked, sensing something was amiss. Xie Shi took the initiative and asked, "What happened in General Zhou's tent just now?"

Shen Wei scratched his head, not knowing how to answer. He just blamed himself for not being there because he went to the toilet.

Xie looked at him and probably guessed that he didn't know either, so her eyes fell on the curtain in front.

After thinking about it, he was about to go forward and lift the curtain, but unfortunately the person inside opened the curtain first.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law." Xiao Ying didn't expect that her second brother and second sister-in-law were outside the tent, and quickly put away the panic in her eyes.

When Xiao Chao saw his younger sister coming out of Lao Zhou's tent, he was stunned for a moment: "Ying girl, why did you end up in Lao Zhou's tent?"

When Xie saw this scene, there was nothing she couldn't understand. No wonder General Zhou's face was so gloomy just now.

I once heard the head of the household mention that General Zhou and the country lady had a love stronger than gold, and they had never lost contact over the years. Moreover, the group of Jingwei that General Zhou led were all sent to the army by the lady from the Zhou family.

Among all the generals of the rebel army, who would not envy the group of Jingwei in General Zhou's hands? This shows that the wife of the Zhou family is a capable woman, not to mention the relationship between husband and wife.

Speaking of her sister-in-law, although Xie had only been with Xiao Ying for a few days, she knew women best. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that her sister-in-law was arrogant and coveted General Zhou, but only she, the foolish head of the household, was unaware.
