Chapter 1239 1239: The Duke’s daughter [please vote]
Wu Xian hates that iron cannot become steel.
“You said you wouldn’t mention it, so you really didn’t mention it?”
Why didn’t he know these people would be so obedient?
Wu Xian clenched his back molars and tensed his cheek muscles, squeezing out word after word from his throat: "Nan Xi put himself in a position to fight Shen Youli desperately. If I had known this, I would have gone on a trip. Why don’t you come here to see the eyes of the North?”
It is said that in the frozen land thousands of miles north of Mozhou, colorful lights of different shapes often appear and appear. From Yin to Chen, the arrogance ceases.
Some colored lights are shaped like the Eye of Heaven.
Wu Xian had only seen it in folk travel notes and was very curious.
The former scout shrank his neck after being scolded, and the other officers looked at each other, then all looked at Wu Xian, hoping that the parents would come up with an idea. The girl mustered up her courage and stepped forward to touch Wu Xian's arm: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless for my father to scold him."
Seeing her come forward, the former scout grinned.
He said: "Don't worry, parents. I am sure that this scout is not very powerful, and it is estimated that there are not many troops to come over. We find it early, be careful to avoid it, and we will definitely not be discovered."
My daughter's relief quickly extinguished the already modest anger.
Wu Xian's brows moved: "So confident?"
The former scout said awkwardly: "Ahem, cough, cough, my subordinate has been a little slack in recent months and is not as sharp as before. . In this way, he can discover them first, so...it is conceivable that the active scouts are not as alert as he is to retire.
At what level, you can experience it yourself.
Wu Xian carefully rubbed the hammer head with his palm and paced hesitantly. The former scout winked at the others who were traveling with him, and the others winked at Wu Xian's daughter - Wu Xian was fine in other aspects, but his wavering meekness was really annoying.
After receiving the uncle's signal, the girl timidly grabbed Wu Xian's sleeve.
Those clear black and white eyes were full of admiration, as if the purest light in the world fell in her eyes. Being stared at by such eyes would turn any steel into soft tissue, not to mention the fact that the girl gave birth to a face that was more or less similar to her biological mother.
Especially these eyes, they are almost carved from the same mold.
Wu Xian's love for this daughter is greater than that of dozens of other children. She didn't have to say or do anything, she could easily make Wu Xian calm down by just standing there. He said: "My father is wondering whether to turn back."
The girl's movements froze for a moment.
The appearance of the scout means that the enemy is not far away.
In this case, do you still need to hesitate whether to go back?
Wu Xian did not miss his daughter's reaction, thinking that she was frightened by the situation, and patted the back of her hand to express relief: "Shen Youli made your father a first-class Duke, and promised to invite you. The title of the eldest daughter will be passed on to you in the future, but she..."
At the mention of this, Wu Xian's expression became distorted.
If it were just the four strange states of "Shen, Wu, Tang, and Di" that would at most cause trouble for Wu Xian, the matter would even do more good than harm to him - that is, as long as the person involved knew "Tang Di love" "deep" is false, and the outside world thinks it is true and cannot be true anymore. Even the historians do not hesitate to praise this friendship. You can imagine how future generations will praise it. After careful calculation, Wu Xian still made a profit.
The main reason for his dissatisfaction is still the first-grade Duke - Shen Youli gave Gu Ren the posthumous title of First-grade Duke, and gave Wu Xian the same title. Thinking that she was digging around for a day or two, Wu Xian never thought about how good the treatment was given to her - but why did he not get this additional preferential treatment for Gu Ren's descendant who was the third generation of Nai Jiang?
Don't say that the chaos of the world may not be passed down to the third generation. It is the same whether there is "three generations will descend" or not. Is it the same whether there is or not? Is he, Wu Zhaode, more politically significant to her than a dead person? Wu Xian felt so angry that his chest hurt when he thought about this.
But Wu Xian couldn't put it forward directly yet.
He asked his daughter to be a concubine, but Shen didn't say anything, but readily agreed to Wu Xian's request. When Wu Xian received the imperial edict from the inner court, he made repeated insinuations and only gave up after making sure that there was no unnecessary explanation. He lost his temper, asked for leave from Shen Tang, and took his son, daughter, and close friends on a spontaneous trip.
Wu Xian didn't believe that Shen Tang could still sit still like this.
As a result, this guy really sat still!
You can’t even move your butt!
Wu Xian, as the leader of the warlord who once competed with her, took the title of first-grade Duke of Kang State after his defeat, and took his troops to travel around the territory of Kang State, but she didn't give any reaction at all! Wu Xian thought she would be nervous, and after just a few words of questioning, he could go down the steps, cry miserably, and pity the hearts of parents all over the world. Shen Tang was "touched" by him again, and gave him the treatment of "three generations of descendants" He added, wouldn't this matter be a perfect ending?
But the one named Shen didn't see the hint.
I don’t know if I am blind, or if I am pretending to be confused.
As the only second Duke of Kang State, Wu Xian took the initiative to ask for a daughter, which was of great political significance. Why was it not worthy of "surrender after three generations"? In the future, the title will be passed on to her daughter. As the first daughter in the history of Kang State and even the mainland, she will be demoted one level to the title. How will Shen Youli's face look good as the head of the country? Wu Xian really couldn't understand.
Hearing this, the girl looked sad.
What Wu Xian mentioned was also a source of heartache for her.
She has many half-brothers and sisters, and some of them have good cultivation qualifications. Everyone thought that Wu Xian would appoint one of them as the heir to the title for the sake of the continuation of the family. Who expected that Wu Xian would choose her despite all the opinions.
A daughter who has no qualifications for cultivation.
This decision made all the brothers and sisters jealous and angry at the same time. They knew that Wu Xian was partial but did not expect that he would be partial to this extent. Some of them simply took refuge with their parents.
The remaining children can only accept the reality, and there is nothing they can do if they refuse to accept it. Wu Xian was in his prime. Although he was defeated by Shen Tang, he still retained a considerable part of his family property. If some of it can flow out from between their fingers, it will be enough for them to be rich and prosperous for a lifetime.
The girl was not as thoughtful as them.
She doesn't have the qualifications to practice, and she won't be able to hold on to the title of Xijue in the future.
She was not willing to let her be a rich and idle idler. We can't place our hopes on the next generation and hope that one of them can turn the situation around? As a man, my father could have dozens of children, and he could always find qualified ones, but she, as a woman, couldn't do it. The human sea tactic was not going to work...
As a result, she felt even more depressed.
These thoughts cannot be explained to outsiders, especially Wu Xian.
She knew why her father favored her so much, but he remembered her late mother Mi Kui through her and tried her best to make up for it. To maximize this preference, she naturally has to maximize her natural advantages. Similar appearance is not enough, the temperament must be as close as possible. Whether it’s true or false, profit is the most important thing!
The girl's eyes were vaguely watery.
She was disappointed and blamed herself: "It's my daughter who failed to live up to expectations..."
If she had the qualifications to practice, she would have been able to retain the title of Duke of the First Rank Kingdom even if she did not have the "Three Generations of Resurrection". Additional treatment is required. Wu Xian felt distressed when he heard this: "How can matters of talent be solved by striving for success? The only blame is on the parents."
Wu Xian added: "The blame is on the father."
Mi Kui is smart and smart, indeed much better than him.
The girl didn't dare to talk anymore, she just bit her lip because she wanted to cry. Seeing her look like this, Wu Xian's heart softened into a puddle of water: "Hey, just leave the matter of striving for success to your father."
Just a few words contained a huge amount of information. The girl was stunned in her heart: "Father?"
Wu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly in the direction of the enemy scout's movement, and played with the bone hammer with dexterous fingers: "You heard it too, these guys below I'm not an elite person, so I'm not very dangerous. They are in the light, they are in the dark, and they can still take advantage of it."
The enemies have reached the border, no matter whether Wu Xian sends someone to report the message, or he takes a few heads to play with while reporting the message. , no matter how big or small the credit is, Shen Youli will acknowledge it! Wu Xian's hesitation just now was because he was weighing the benefits of the two!
The girl grabbed Wu Xian's arm.
War is no joke.
Wu Xian had been idle for two years. Before that, he was a pampered leader of the country. He did not even know that it would be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse before he actually led his troops into war. She was also afraid that he would be in danger if he rushed to the battlefield now. This worry is not only the worry that the backer is gone, but also a bit of father-daughter friendship. When there was a fire in the capital of Gao, her mother sent the siblings out one step ahead of schedule. Although her lives were saved, the fear and displacement along the way left an indelible shadow on her.
“Father!”
The girl’s voice was a little trembling.
Wu Xian did not waver, but turned to look at his son. He said solemnly: "As a man, you must protect your loved ones. You have set a bad example as a father, so don't learn from it."
The young man's back stiffened for a moment, and then he relaxed.
He nodded solemnly: "My son will do it."
My mother gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and now they are the only ones left.
Wu Xian assigned ten people to follow his children, and the rest followed him.
He watched the twelve people disappear at the corner of the plank road, jump down from the back of the mountain, and disappear into the vast sea of trees. Wu Xian lost all worries. I saw him wielding the bone hammer in his hand, with the hammer head pressing against the mountain wall. Martial energy surged from the Dan Mansion, and he put on full martial armor again!
At this moment, my spine became straighter.
The long-lost vigor burst out from his eyes.
All the confidants around him looked at him with excitement in their eyes.
"Brothers, your swords are not rusty, are they?" Wu Xian was chatting and laughing, while raising his hand to cover his whole face with a mask, exhaling turbid air, giving up all the laziness he had cultivated over the years. !
Everyone was so excited that they were jealous and responded in unison.
"No rust!"
"Three times a day, no rust!"
Wu Xian was very satisfied with these answers, but he felt a little guilty - with these old people In comparison, he has indeed relaxed too much in recent years - fortunately, a brave warrior does not gain weight easily, so his waist has not swelled to the point where the original size cannot be seen.
“It’s good if it’s not rusty!”
"It doesn't matter if it's rusty, just grind it with bones!"
"Come with me, gentlemen!"
Wu Xian jumped off the plank road first, and after a few ups and downs, he was stable. Down the mountain. Behind him, dozens of people followed his lead. Although there are not many of them, they are all brave warriors! When it comes to combat effectiveness, it is not unreasonable to meet hundreds of people!
At the same time, Wu Xian's children are also working hard.
The girl ordered: "Inform the guard of the news quickly!"
They weren't sure how many enemies were coming!
Is it the main vanguard or the outpost for investigation?
For a time, various thoughts passed through her mind. She could even hear the restless heartbeat in her chest, and her hands and feet were cold. The whole person seemed to be pulled back to the time when he fled the royal capital, and the lingering smell of burning could still be smelled at the tip of his nose.
The young man saw her hesitation and fear.
“Don’t be afraid, my brother is here!”
These few words gave her great courage.
She took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
As time went by, her complexion did not improve. When she passed the news to the guard, her whole face was so pale that there was no blood. She still did not forget to say: "...This is what happened. , General Yang, please send troops quickly to support my father!”
It is not a small matter for a first-grade Duke to die on the front line.
Even if Wu Xian sneaked to the front line by himself, happened to notice the enemy's traces, and was greedy for credit and led dozens of people to attack the enemy's outpost, leading to his death, the world would not believe it. They only want to believe what they believe! Compared with the so-called coincidence, the intrigue with twists and turns is more eye-catching.
Lord Shen doesn’t want his reputation to be damaged, right?
The guard was not surprised by the enemy's traces, but he was helpless that Wu Xian would be involved. If Wu Zhaode died on his own territory, he would really be in trouble: "My daughter, please rest assured, I will know about this, so I will order my troops and horses to support Lu Gong and others."
Lu Gong and others. It was Wu Xian, Duke of Lu.
Originally, the purpose of banning the account was to choose one between "Gao" and "Wu". Anyway, they can be used, and it saves the trouble of addressing them. However, considering that Wu Xian might hit the pillar in shame and anger, Shen Tang had to change the word "Lu" before Wu Xian was willing to stop.
The girl burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, General Yang!"
General Yang did not accept her courtesy: "My daughter does not need to be polite. If you calculate carefully, Lu Gong can be regarded as Yang's benefactor."
The girl was startled and did not know this origin.
General Yang sighed: "That was an old thing many years ago."
During the Battle of Xiaocheng, this daughter may have just been born, so naturally she didn't know about this past event. This General Yang was also an acquaintance, Gong Yang, who was the commander-in-chief of Sibao County at that time. In the battle to defend Xiaocheng, he set himself on fire and fought to the death with Gongxi Qiu...
The result was no doubt that he was defeated miserably.
He was destined to die, but was forcibly saved by Shen Tang.
For many years after that, he lost his will and became an ordinary person. During the period of Heyin County, he helped Shen Tang train in the army, but he was limited in what he could do as an ordinary person, and then went to see the shop; during the period of Longwu County, he changed his career to guard the salt warehouse, and reunited with his daughter Yang Ying, and he became more and more interested in the current life. Satisfied. As Shen Tang gets higher and higher, Yang Gong becomes more and more insignificant and unnecessary.
He can also be content with being a rich man.
It’s just——
This body has deteriorated too much after all.
Burning Pill Mansion was a desperate effort, and the many extra years he could live were all stolen. In the past few years, my body has become increasingly weak, and doctors Xinglin took turns to diagnose and treat her, but they were unable to do anything. Doctors can only treat stubborn diseases, but cannot take away longevity from heaven.
He told himself that he should be content.
Yang Ying is already able to stand up in the family, and there is no shortage of him.
But no matter how he comforted himself, his voice of reluctance became louder and louder, reaching its peak in the days when he thought he was dying! He still has too much to be reconciled to! He failed to leave his broken body on the battlefield, and he failed to see his daughter Yang Ying get married and have children.
Are you willing?
Not willing to give in!
