Chapter 148 Wearing Armor?
Zong Ai gave him a disgusted look, and said full of hostility: "Look at your guts...it's nothing to do with you, go out of the palace and go home to hide!"

After finishing speaking, he went out aggressively, looking at that appearance, he didn't know what he was going to call people for.

Shen Liuzhen looked at Zong Ai's leaving back, shaking like a frightened rabbit, his face was full of panic and uneasiness.

But as soon as Zong Ai went out, he turned half of his body, turned his face inward, raised his sleeves to wipe away the fine sweat on his forehead, and the tears that were about to come out of his eyes, and when he put down his sleeves again, With an indifferent face, how could there be even a little bit of panic?

Then, he looked at the commotion outside the main hall, took a deep breath, shook his sleeves to adjust his posture, and Shi Shi ran out of the palace.

On that day, the new emperor, who had just ascended the throne, had just sat on the throne for less than four months before being stabbed to death in the palace again by the eunuch Zong Ai with the palace servants.

When this news came out, the government and the public were shaken, and the officials were in an uproar.

Even the Xianbei aristocrats who acquiesced in Zongai's crime of regicide last time, after experiencing the humiliation of the death of two successive emperors at the hands of Zongai, could no longer bear it.

Of course... Not everyone can't bear it. There are also a group of courtiers who stand in line with Zong'ai, those Xianbei nobles who rely on him, trying their best to keep Zong'ai's status and the previous scandal of killing the king.

Because keeping him means keeping the benefits he has already obtained.

So a new battle began again...

When Shen Liuzhen grandly arrived at Wu Lei's mansion, it was just in time for Wu Lei to lead his people to resist a sudden assassination.The corpses of assassins and guards were strewn about in the yard.

Shen Liuzhen looked at the dead bodies on the ground, a little timidly, but still with the dignified demeanor of a gentleman, he stepped over the corpses of those people, walked up to Ulei under his watchful eyes, raised his sleeves chicly, He bowed to the courtesy of a Confucian scholar, bowed and said:
"The emperor's grandson, this is the right time. How to win over the courtiers and listen to the emperor's orders is up to you..."

Holding the sword in his hand, Wu Lei panted, with some blood on his face, but said with a smile: "You haven't come for a long time, I thought you were going to follow that eunuch all the way to the dark."

Shen Liuzhen straightened up, put his hands together, and said slyly: "Then how can it be possible? Wouldn't it be a pity if the stepping stones that the grassroots have saved for a long time are not used?"

Wu Lei wiped the blood from the sword on the arrow sleeve, threw it into the scabbard with a "crash", and asked, "Is it enough?"

Shen Liuzhen pursed his lips and smiled, revealing a pair of innocent dimples: "...enough."

……

……

The army expanded, and by the way, all the stragglers captured in the southwest were taken away.Most of the strong labor force is gone, and there is no condition for rebellion again.

In this way, the imperial court sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and incidentally solved the chaos in the southwest, which really had the best of both worlds.

But Xie Yuan had a headache.

In her battalion, more than half of them were captives, and they had to be retrained to integrate them into the ranks of the imperial court. This task was no easier than fighting a battle.

And it takes time and effort.

Xie Yuan was covering his forehead in the tent... She could actually guess what Master meant:
Out of the desire to take care of her, Master gave her a bunch of stragglers who were originally barbarians and bandits to fill the camp.

These people are especially difficult to discipline. It takes a lot of time to be able to go to the battlefield after passing the training.

So Master and the others led the soldiers and led the imperial decree to set off early, but Xie Yuan had a reason to stay with such a battalion and leave a month later.

In this case, if the imperial court finally decides to go to war with the Beiyi people.Xie Yuan was left behind, and he might not be able to catch up...

Although she has been doubting the justice of what she has done recently, she still instinctively feels extremely uncomfortable when she encounters this situation of being "taken care of" later.

Isn't this kind of care another kind of "contempt"?If you have enough confidence in her, you won't keep her behind.

Only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled need the protection of others, and she doesn't!
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan's thick sword eyebrows twitched, and snapped the Langhao brush in his hand.

After folding it, she realized that she had made too much effort and ruined a good pen in her hands.

If this had been left in the past, it must have been the result of Shen Liuzhen looking sideways, and his father turning around to invite her to eat.

"Hey..." Xie Yuan blamed himself, threw the pen away, and walked out of the tent.

As soon as he left the door, two soldiers standing at the door said: "Master Captain, are you going to patrol and wear armor?"

Yes, Xie Yuan now has personal soldiers, messengers, guards, and 60 people who follow her directly.

Xie Yuan paused, looked at the earnest eyes of the soldier, and said with some guilt: "No, no need."

It's a joke, if you want to wear that full armor, you have to take off the wooden armor on your body. Her breasts have grown enough to distinguish the abnormality of a man's body. By then, won't she just wear it as a girl?

After that, she lifted her legs and left.

Those two personal soldiers quickly followed her, and five other orderly soldiers also lined up behind her.

While chasing her, the soldiers said in the tone of someone who came here: "No... Captain, if you don't wear that outfit, the soldiers below will not know who you are at all, and it will be bad for your dignity. There may also be unnecessary collisions...why don't you wear them?"

Xie Yuan turned half his body and looked at him.

She has grown rapidly recently. Although she is still not as tall as the tall and burly people in the barracks, she looks like an adult.

The only difference that still looks immature is that she still has a slender figure and the round lines on her cheeks that have not receded.

"What's your name?" Xie Yuan asked flatly, with a hint of coldness.

The young man in his early twenties shook his eyes, panicked, and said, "My name is Erdan Xiao."

Xie Yuan held back her cheeky twitching expression... Although her own name is just a word "Yuan", which means the leader of the ranking, it doesn't have any special meaning, and it can't be considered clever.

But farmers who have not read the book are always very straightforward and outrageous in choosing names. She has heard a lot of "two eggs" and "three dogs"...

Little Erdan...does that sound like a name?Xie Yuan couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Then she asked another soldier who was less talkative: "What about you? What's your name?"

"This subordinate is called Sun Tian."

Although that person is also more than 20 years old, he looks calmer and smarter. Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't talk much.

Xie Yuan nodded, pointed at Sun Tian and said to the "little bastard": "I don't like people talking, you can learn from him in the future. For things like whether I wear armor or not, I hope I can say it once. .”

Xiao Erdan's face turned red "shua", as if he felt very ashamed, he quickly shut his mouth tightly, and didn't say anything else.
