Chapter 371 Are you jealous of Miaomiao?
After Scorpion's large army fled in panic, the patriarch Aluhun immediately transferred the main force according to Xiao Lingqiu's plan, went around from Yueshang Lake to the enemy's rear, and attacked the more than 600 four soldiers who were originally preparing for a sneak attack. Prince Wanyan Tianyou's soldiers launched a surprise attack.
Relying on the geographical advantage and the high morale brought by the previous successful repelling of the Scorpion Army, the soldiers of the Heshan tribe were like tigers descending the mountain, unstoppable.
This sudden attack caught the soldiers of the fourth prince by surprise.
They were retreating steadily under the fierce offensive of Heshan's troops, and only dozens of them were able to escape.
In the end, the crisis in Heshanbe was miraculously resolved.
After learning about the arrival of the Scorpion Army and the Southern Jin Army, almost everyone was pessimistic, and many soldiers even said goodbye to their families.
Unexpectedly, they survived at this moment.
Even when watching the soldiers of the Southern Jin Kingdom fleeing, the people in the Heshan tribe couldn't believe it. It wasn't until they saw the corpses everywhere that they realized that they had successfully driven away the enemy.
The joy of surviving the disaster spread in everyone's heart, and everyone cheered and was immersed in joy.
The patriarch Aluhun had a happy face, and quickly came to Xiao Lingqiu, and said with gratitude:
"Our Heshan tribe was able to turn the crisis around this time, all thanks to Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang. You are the leaders of our Heshan tribe. My benefactor, no matter what difficulties you two encounter in the future, as long as it is within our ability, we in the Heshan tribe will do our best to help.”
The patriarch is also a human being.
Realizing that Jiang Shouzhong and the two of them were not simple, they wanted to build this relationship.
However, he was not sure about the identities of these two people yet. In order to avoid getting into trouble, he didn’t say anything and drew a big picture first.
But no matter what, the clan leader is indeed very grateful to Jiang Shouzhong. Especially this time, a large amount of rich loot was obtained, which can enhance the combat power of the Heshan tribe.
Jiang Shouzhong touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
I didn’t do anything.
Master Liefeng looked at the sassy and cool Xiao Lingqiu with fiery eyes, and then at Jiang Shouzhong who was hugging the woman, and the jealousy in his heart became even more uncontrollable.
What if you can marry such a strange woman and spend ten lifetimes in hell? What kind of luck did this guy have to win the heart of a beautiful woman?
Xiao Lingqiu held the reins tightly, and her plump and beautiful figure like a gourd seemed to be surrounded by a layer of holy radiance under the rising morning light. She said lightly:
"Don't be happy too early. After all, the He shirt is just a piece of fat on the chopping board. If you don't have enough self-protection ability, it will be swallowed sooner or later."
The patriarch sighed, looked at his daughter apologetically, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, Mrs. Jiang, Lei Tian will station the main force here in two days. At that time, no one should dare to take any chances with us."
Xiao Lingqiu curled her pink lips and said nothing.
To celebrate this victory, the clan leader summoned the clan's senior officials to hold a banquet and invited Jiang Shouzhong and his wife.
Originally Jiang Shouzhong didn't want to join in the fun, but under Xiao Lingqiu's stubborn suggestion, he had no choice but to go to the banquet.
At the banquet, the patriarch naturally thanked Jiang Shouzhong and Xiao Lingqiu again, and gave them a lot of gold and silver treasures. He also took the initiative to give the two of them a relatively luxurious courtyard to live in, and arranged for maids.
This attentive attitude obviously hopes that Jiang Shouzhong can stay.
It would be nice to stay a little longer.
Except for the mansion, Xiao Lingqiu accepted everything else.
During the banquet, many people came to toast Jiang Shouzhong, but Jiang Shouzhong was embarrassed to refuse.
Xiao Lingqiu carefully observed various senior figures in the Heshan Department.
She pays attention to everyone's interactions, whether they are close or distant, and pays attention to where everyone sits and who is next to them.
She also pays special attention to those who are closely related to Master Liefeng.
She took all these details to heart so that she could better understand the tribe's internal relationships and power structure.
After the banquet, Xiao Lingqiu asked Liao Feihu for a list of senior figures in the clan.
......
Back in the house, Xiao Lingqiu spread the list on the table, took out a pen and paper and sketched it out one by one.
Jiang Shouzhong, who smelled of alcohol, poured a cup of sobering tea and sat across from the woman to drink it.
Looking at the woman's soft and moving side face under the light, Jiang Shouzhong was slightly absent-minded and said with a smile: "You are really different from other women I have seen."
"Why are you different."
Xiao Lingqiu, who was trying to recall the banquet, crossed out two names and asked casually.
Seeing a few strands of the woman's hair hanging down on her forehead, Jiang Shouzhong hesitated for a moment, then gently pushed it aside and tucked it behind the woman's ear.
Xiao Lingqiu paused with the pen in her hand and continued to sketch.
Jiang Shouzhong savored the bitter feeling of the tea sliding down his throat, and said softly: "I thought you were very similar to Miaomiao, but now it seems that you are more like... a big boss."
" Big boss? "
Xiao Lingqiu raised his eyebrows with a strange expression.
Seeing that the candlelight was dimming, Jiang Shouzhong casually twisted the wick and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know how to describe it. I just feel like you are a ghost guard."
Xiao Lingqiu The thick eyelashes as curved as a row of fans blinked a few times, the corners of the lips were slightly raised, and he said inexplicably: "You haven't met a better me."
Afraid that these words would make the man think too much, Xiao Lingqiu immediately changed the subject: "How is your recovery from your back injury?"
Jiang Shouzhong nodded: "It's not bad."
He Pointing to the woman's feet: "I saw that your foot was seriously injured before. Is it feeling better now?"
Xiao Lingqiu subconsciously put her feet together, and the hem of her skirt was slightly swept back, revealing that Wearing a pair of delicate and compact felt boots, she said softly: "It still hurts a little. It will be fine in a few days."
The woman didn't care about the pain, lowered her head and continued to draw the list attentively.
Now the situation in Nanjin Country is better than she expected.
If you can't deal with Dazhou for the time being, you can take a few bites of the fat meat of Nanjin Kingdom first.
As for how to chew, Xiao Lingqiu had some plans in mind.
Now this Heshanbu can be used as a chess piece and play some role.
It is idle at the moment anyway. Regardless of whether this chess piece can be used in the future, it is harmless.
Jiang Shouzhong thought for a while and said: "It just so happened that the clan leader gave me some herbs. How about I ask the shop assistant to boil a basin of hot water and you can take a dip in the herbs."
Xiao Lingqiu was still immersed in work. Just a faint "hmm" in response.
A woman is a typical workaholic. Once she is immersed in official duties, she will put all her thoughts into it, and everything in the outside world seems to be temporarily forgotten by her.
Jiang Shouzhong walked out of the house and asked the shop assistant to boil a basin of hot water, and then found the herbs given by the clan leader to sort and match them - he had made medicine with Sister Ye before, so he knew a lot about herbs.
After a while, the store clerk brought hot water.
Jiang Shouzhong thanked the store clerk and brought the hot water back to the house.
He put the sorted herbs in and soaked them for a while. He watched the water begin to change color, tested the water temperature, and placed the basin at Xiao Lingqiu's feet.
But before he could remind the other person, the woman subconsciously stretched out her feet and made a move to ask the other person to take off her shoes.
Usually accustomed to being served by maids, Xiao Lingqiu, who was currently thinking, mistakenly thought that he was in the palace, so he instinctively acted like this.
This made Jiang Shouzhong a little confused.
What do you mean, let me help?
He did not object to soaking women's feet. After all, in Anhe Village, he often soaked the feet of Hong'er and Sister Ye, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After that, I washed Miss Xie’s feet.
It was just that the girl Xie Xie was very strong at that time, which made him somewhat reluctant.
As for Xiao Lingqiu's familiar behavior, it feels like an old couple... Jiang Shouzhong glanced at Xiao Lingqiu who was lying on the table and immersed in his thoughts. He hesitated for a moment, sighed helplessly, and finally moved in. Sitting on a small stool in front of the basin, he gently took off his partner's shoes and socks.
Different from the tall and plump figure of a woman, Xiao Lingqiu's feet appear round and small, as smooth as pearls, exuding an indescribable tenderness and gentleness.
Especially the bright kodan applied on the toenails highlights the whiteness of the skin.
Jiang Shouzhong gently held the woman's round ankles, and carefully put them into the hot water dyed with herbs. He looked up at Xiao Lingqiu, who was frowning in thought, and asked, "Don't burn it."
“Yeah.”
Xiao Lingqiu responded subconsciously, but then she suddenly retracted her feet, as if she was suddenly electrocuted by something.
The splashing water dropped on the man's clothes and even his face.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Shouzhong looked at her confused.
Xiao Lingqiu's cool cheeks turned red, and she stared at Jiang Shouzhong with a shy and annoyed look: "What are you doing!?"
Jiang Shouzhong pointed to the basin with an innocent look on his face: "I'm going to soak your feet? Didn't you ask me to soak your feet?"
Recalling what he did just now, Xiao Lingqiu realized that he had made a mistake, and his face flushed. Feeling a little embarrassed:
"I thought..."
Her words paused in mid-air, as if she was looking for suitable words to explain her misunderstanding.
"It's okay, you continue to do your thing. I'm free anyway. Since we are husband and wife, it's no big deal to wash my wife's feet."
Jiang Shouzhong couldn't help but take her jade feet and dip them into the basin again, rubbing them gently.
"You..."
Xiao Lingqiu wanted to break free, but when the man's fingers rubbed between the soles and toes of her feet, her delicate body suddenly softened, as if half of her strength had been taken away.
The woman bit her teeth slightly, her eyes filled with water.
She opened her delicate dark eyes slightly, looked at Jiang Shouzhong with a strange look, and asked in a low voice: "Jiang Mo, you...don't you feel...very embarrassed?"
"It's embarrassing?"
Jiang Shouzhong was confused, "Why is it embarrassing?"
Xiao Lingqiu coughed and said:
"In the Central Plains...actually in Yanrong, also No man washes the feet of a woman, even his own wife. After all, it is a very shameful thing."
Jiang Shouzhong was stunned and laughed: "I thought it was something serious, but it didn't matter to me. ”
Seeing that the man really didn't seem to care, Xiao Lingqiu had a complicated expression.
She thought she knew this man well.
But the other party always makes many unexpected moves.
This gave her an inexplicable illusion, feeling that Jiang Shouzhong was like a treasure, and he could always unearth some fascinating highlights inadvertently.
This feeling is really addictive.
Feeling the warmth from the man's palm, a tingling feeling came from his feet, making Xiao Lingqiu's body feel quite strange, and even sitting on the chair felt a little uncomfortable.
"Speaking of which, where are you from in the continent?"
Xiao Lingqiu pretended to be casual and pressed her dress slightly between her legs, changing the subject.
“Well, it’s a small mountain village, you don’t even know it.”
Jiang Shouzhong smiled.
"How would I know if you didn't tell me?" Xiao Lingqiu rolled her eyes.
Although she secretly investigated a lot of Jiang Mo's information, she could not find out only his household registration.
This is also a point she is very curious about.
Seeing that the man seemed unwilling to talk, Xiao Lingqiu did not ask any further questions, and changed the topic:
"Jiang Mo, if one day I, Yan Rong, destroy the continent, will you hate us? Although I know that you are being hunted by the court, in some people’s hearts, the feelings of the country are still relatively heavy.”
Jiang Shouzhong suddenly remembered that Yelu Miaomiao had asked the same question before, and said with a smile:
"It has nothing to do with me. As long as my friends are safe and I can live my life peacefully, then it doesn't matter. Big continents are small. Continent or whatever, just destroy it.”
“I like to hear your answer.”
The corners of Xiao Lingqiu’s mouth curled up, “But I don’t like people like you. If the whole country is like you, then..."
Xiao Lingqiu did not continue.
Jiang Shouzhong understood the other party's subtext and shrugged: "Traitors should be despised wherever they go. This is normal. But at the same time, if a country is full of people like me, then whose problem is it?
Of course, my situation is quite special. The country I believe in is completely different from your Yanrong or other continents. In short, you will not understand. "
Xiao Lingqiu is indeed. I couldn’t understand it and I didn’t bother to think about it deeply.
After the soaking and washing, Jiang Shouzhong took a towel and carefully wiped the woman's feet clean.
During the process, he suddenly remembered the massage that Sister Ye once taught him, and said, "Let me give you a massage."
Massage... Massage?
Xiao Lingqiu’s apricot eyes widened.
Before she could refuse, Jiang Shouzhong gently placed her feet on his shoulders, and then slowly massaged upwards along the rounded legs.
Xiao Lingqiu opened her red lips, somewhat dumbfounded.
Does this guy care about her as a husband, or is he deliberately taking advantage of her?
She wanted to pull her foot back, but finally held back.
The closeness between the two before made her no longer reject him.
Jiang Shouzhong applied a little force with his fingertips, first gently pressing along the tendons on the back of Xiao Lingqiu's calf, starting from heavy to light, and then slowly pushing back from the bend of the knee to the ankle.
With long-term care and maintenance with luxurious products, even if a woman is over thirty, her calf skin will still be smooth and dazzlingly white.
Whenever Jiang Shouzhong's fingers touched his hamstring, Xiao Lingqiu felt a burst of pain and numbness.
But every time I relax, I can't help but feel comfortable all over.
Gradually, fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of Xiao Lingqiu's nose and cheeks. Under the light of the fire, it seemed to add a natural and moving highlight to her face.
"Jiang Mo..."
Xiao Lingqiu squinted her eyes and murmured, "How about you go to Yanrong with me."
This is the woman's second invitation.
Jiang Shouzhong did not hear the complex emotions contained in the woman's words, and said with a smile: "I said I would go to Yanrong, but... I went because I wanted the Queen Mother to agree to marry Miaomiao to me. "
Xiao Lingqiu sat up straight.
Her jade hands subconsciously squeezed the armrests of the chair and stared at Jiang Shouzhong coldly.
The man was stared at and felt a little confused: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Lingqiu suddenly exerted force on her feet, kicked the man to the ground, and said viciously: "Impossible, Miaomiao...Princess Miaomiao is not suitable for you at all!"
