The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 185 Ruby’s Thoughts

After making sure that there was no one outside the house, Zhu Xiucai came closer and whispered: "Hongyu, your injury is really fine, right? Do you need to go back to Jingzhou to recuperate?"

Bi Hongyu had never been in close contact with a man. Now she was lying on the bed with thin clothes. She actually felt a little nervous.

"Nothing, no need." Bi Hongyu pretended to be calm and shook her head slightly. Her voice was as cold as ever, but her rapidly trembling eyelashes showed her inner uneasiness.

Zhu Xiu nodded, not noticing anything strange about her. She just smelled a mixture of blood and herbs, mixed with a faint fragrance. She found it smelled good and couldn't help but inhale it hard.

Bi Hongyu trembled all over, clenched the quilt with both hands, shrank inside, and stared at him warily as if she was a pervert.

"Uh" Zhu Xiu felt a little embarrassed, shrank back and whispered: "You are injured and it is not convenient for you to travel far for the time being, so you will stay in Puzhou City and recuperate while helping me take care of Shenghe Dishe and Taihe Restaurant. I will know every move in Puzhou within half a year of preparation."

Bi Hongyu whispered: "I am the deputy commander of the Zhenhai Battalion. It is the mission of the Zangfeng Battalion to spy on intelligence. I have no right to interfere."

Zhu Xiu smiled and said: "The Zangfeng Camp is short of manpower. I have decided that all the Zhenhai Camp personnel left in Puzhou City will be transferred to the Zangfeng Camp and will be temporarily managed by you. When I return to Jingzhou, I will send people to replace you as soon as possible. .”

Bi Hongyu was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly: "I understand."

After talking about the business, Zhu Xiu said seriously: "You have made great achievements this time. If you want any reward, just ask! Even if Jingzhou doesn't have it, I will try my best to get it for you!"

Bi Hongyu turned her face and said calmly: "When the matter in Puzhou is settled, just let me return to Jingzhou as soon as possible."

Zhu Xiu clapped his hands and said: "That's necessary! You are my right-hand general, and I can't live without you!"

The corners of Bi Hongyu's mouth seemed to curve up, and a smile flashed across her face.

After hesitating for a moment, Bi Hongyu whispered: "Miss Fu is very important to you?"

Zhu Xiu rubbed her chin with green beard: "How should I put it? Well, yes, Mrs. Fu is very important to me! Not only to repay the kindness she treated me back then, but also for the future, which is related to whether we can be stable. Live steadily and enjoy life comfortably.”

Bi Hongyu looked at him and suddenly said: "Do you like Mrs. Fu?"

Zhu Xiu's butt slipped and almost fell off the edge of the bed. She lay on the edge of the bed and whispered: "How is that possible! You must not say such nonsense, otherwise it will be a big misunderstanding!"

Bi Hongyu frowned and said, "I just want to ask, why are you nervous?"

Zhu Xiu wiped the cold sweat from her forehead: "Don't ask random questions about this kind of thing, especially Mrs. Fu!"

Bi Hongyu said indifferently: "Mrs. Fu comes from a distinguished family, is as beautiful as a flower, and has never given birth to a child. She can still talk to you. She is just a few years older than you. It's normal even if you like her."

"Sister, Mrs. Fu is almost ten years older than me. We are almost separated by generations!" Zhu Xiu bowed her hands and smiled bitterly, begging for mercy and asking her not to joke about this kind of thing again.

Bi Hongyu wanted to laugh, but because of her injury, she frowned in pain.

As if realizing that she was a little unusual today, Bi Hongyu hurriedly stopped her smile and returned to indifference.

She didn't know what was going on, but after walking through the gate of hell, her indifferent temperament seemed to have changed.

Bi Hongyu seemed to be covering up her gaffe just now, and said coldly and softly, "You shouldn't let Mrs. Fu's elder brother salute me, you should stop her."

Zhu Xiu asked strangely: "Why?"

Bi Hongyu turned her face to the inside of the bed and said softly: "I am a refugee with a low status. Before I met you, I didn't even have a household registration."

Zhu Xiu chuckled, shook his head and said: "In front of life, no one is worth mentioning! You saved Madam Fu's life and showed great kindness to the Fu family. It is natural for you to be worshiped by Fu Zhaoxin. Not to mention the world. , How can there be a dynasty that never falls, and a lintel that never falls? Honor, wealth, and honor can be transformed in a matter of days!

The emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty had great wealth, and three years ago he was sitting in the imperial palace of Kaifeng. But now the whole family is making a living by farming in the bitter cold land of Liaodong.I, Zhu Xiu, was still trying to survive in the Khitan army more than two years ago, and now I am still standing here.

Therefore, there is no need to belittle oneself, the good days of our group have just begun! "Zhu Xiu was in high spirits and winked at Bi Hongyu.

Bi Hongyu wanted to laugh but held it back, silently pulled the quilt up to cover her face, and said dullly: "You go out, I want to sleep for a while."

"You take good care of yourself and I'll come see you when I leave." Zhu Xiu closed the door and left.

When the room was quiet, Bi Hongyu lifted the quilt, looked up at the beams in a daze.

This is the first time she has been seriously injured and the first time she has been in bed to recuperate. Over the years, it seems that she has never stopped to rest.

Before meeting Zhu Xiu, he hid in the salt warehouse all day long, pretending to be a man, hanging out with a group of Xue family's evil slaves, busy with secret information for Bi Zhenhai, busy stealing salt and selling salt, and helping the villagers.

At that time, she didn't know the meaning of doing these things.

Just because he had been lonely since he was a child, begging for a living, and hugging Bi Zhenhai and a group of villagers who also couldn't survive to stay warm and earn a bite of food.

And because he simply believed that the people in Jingzhou were poor and the people who made it difficult for them to live were the bully Xue family, he wanted to take revenge and vent his anger.

The Xue family sold salt at a high price, so they stole the salt from the Xue family and sold it to the people at a low price. The more the Xue family suffered heavy losses and ruthlessly raided the salt dealers, the more they felt relieved and felt that they were doing harm to the people. Act on behalf of heaven.

Unfortunately, something went wrong after all, and Bi Zhenhai's salt-selling gang was brutally destroyed. If Zhu Xiu hadn't come to the rescue, the Xue family would have killed them all.

Bi Zhenhai took refuge in Zhu Xiu, and Bi Hongyu took refuge in Zhu Xiu as a matter of course.

At first, Bi Hongyu didn't feel any difference when the person giving orders was changed. She didn't hesitate to die when she needed to fight, and she worked hard without complaining.

Until Zhu Xiu led them to annihilate the Xue family, took charge of Jingzhou, and began to sell private salt openly, without having to worry all day long that the government officers and soldiers would suddenly surround them and kill them all.

Bi Hongyu suddenly understood that they were also members of the government and members of the Zhangyi Army.

In name, they are selling private salt, but in fact they are just doing business for the Jiedu Mansion.

Zhenhai Camp was their new designation, and Bi Hongyu felt a sense of belonging for the first time.

From then on, the Zhenhai Battalion continued to grow and gradually became a well-organized military force of 600 people.

The sworn brother Bi Zhenhai serves as the commander, and she is the deputy commander.

In Jingzhou, she could enter and leave Jiedu Mansion and any military camp at will. Officials from Jiedu Mansion and prefecture and county officials would take the initiative to greet her when they saw her. Even Shi Kuangwei, the commander-in-chief of the Jiedu Mansion, would greet her in a familiar manner when he saw her. Call her "Red Jade Lady".

Bi Hongyu learned martial arts, read and read by Zhu Xiu's side, and watched Jingzhou grow step by step under Zhu Xiu's plan.

And she herself has grown from a down-and-out private salt dealer to the current deputy commander of the Zhenhai Camp.

Scenes of the past year or so flashed before Bi Hongyu's eyes.

She took out a silk square handkerchief from under the pillow, which contained a ruby ​​bracelet with her name engraved on the inside.

She held the bracelet tightly to her chest. It was a little cold, but her heart was getting hotter.

Zhu Xiu gave her this bracelet, gave her a name, and changed her life.

Bi Hongyu took a deep breath. She had never thought about the future before, nor had she ever thought about herself.

She survived the catastrophe this time, and she wanted to seriously think about how to go forward for herself.
