Ni Chu

A woman squatted on the ground with her hands on her forehead as if in great pain. It was this woman who made the miserable howl just now.

Although Shi Lei is a little cunning, he is also a daring master. Seeing that someone was injured by the stone he kicked, he quickly ran towards the woman.

"Are you okay?" Shi Lei ran to the woman, bent down and asked in concern.

The woman covered her forehead and squatted on the ground in pain. Shi Lei was about to bend down to take a closer look at her, but she suddenly jumped up, pressing her forehead with one hand, and grabbing Shi Lei's neckline with the other. Eyes wide open, he scolded angrily: "Are you attacking me on purpose? Go! Come with me to Pei Gong to reason!"

"I didn't do it on purpose! I really didn't do it on purpose!" Shi Lei, who was grabbed by the collar of the woman, wanted to break free, but he didn't dare, and begged with a bitter face: "Madam, please forgive me, I'm new here, I don't understand The rules in the camp, if I knew that kicking stones is not allowed in the camp, I would definitely not do that!"

"New here?" After listening to Shi Lei's words, the woman let go of his grip on his collar, looked him up and down carefully and asked, "Could it be that you are Hussar General Xiang Ye?"

"No! No! No!" Seeing that the woman recognized the wrong person, Shi Lei quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm not Xiang Ye, I came with him. Together with his own military power, my military power has also been cut. Now I am a poor wretch with a position but no real power, Madam, don't laugh at me."

Shi Lei has never met this woman before, if he knew her identity, he would not have said so much in front of her, this woman is Liu Bang's original wife Lu Zhi.

After Lu Zhi came out of the room, he withdrew his followers and went to Fan Kuai's residence alone to find her sister Lu Xu.Unexpectedly, while she was walking, she was hit on the forehead by a flying stone. Coincidentally, the person who kicked the stone was Shi Lei who came to the barracks with Xiang Ye.

Lu Zhi smiled slightly at Shi Lei, and was about to speak when a group of soldiers ran towards them.

Hearing the sound of someone running, Lu Zhi turned his head and gave the soldiers a hard look.Seeing Lu Pheasant glaring at them, the soldiers who were running in that group stopped quickly, froze for a moment, and then ran in another direction.

Shi Lei looked at the backs of the soldiers, and said to Lu Zhi with some puzzlement: "Madam, those soldiers seem to be very afraid of you, who are you?"

Lu Zhi smiled sweetly at Shi Lei and said: "General Shi was joking, I'm just the maid of General Fan's wife, how could they be afraid of me? They ran away, probably because they were afraid of General!"

"Ugh!" Shi Lei scratched his head foolishly, and said with a smile, "Yeah, yeah, I forgot that I am a general, heh heh, if anyone bullies you in the future, just come to me, I'll take care of it." If you come out in the first place, even if you apologize for hurting you today!"

"Okay!" The smile on Lu Zhi's face was very bright, then he lowered his head and pursed his lips, and said to Shi Lei in a shy manner: "General Shi, can you walk with me? I want to go to the city to see , but the army is in turmoil, and one person dare not!"

After talking, she turned her head and glanced at Fan Kui's barracks, and her original idea of ​​going to find Lu Xu was greatly dispelled because of meeting Shi Lei. If she wanted to understand Xiang Ye, she had to start with the people around him.Shi Lei looked a little silly, maybe he could get a lot of first-hand information about Xiang Ye from him.

Shi Lei was originally a person with more than enough cleverness but not enough scheming, not to mention that Lu Zhi was born with a good skin, and when he spoke, he cast two coquettish winks at him, half of his bones were already brittle. Will refuse, quickly nodded in agreement.

Walking out of the camp, the two walked straight towards the center of the city.On the way, I also met some Chu soldiers. Seeing that Shi Lei was wearing a general's armor, these Chu soldiers didn't come up to question him even though they felt unfamiliar.

Since a massacre had just occurred in the city, many corpses had not been buried in time, and the city was filled with stench.

Liu Bang's army was stationed in the west of the city where people were buried alive. All the people who were killed were buried in the soil, and the air in the west of the city was relatively fresh.

The center of the city is completely different. Some corpses piled up under the city wall have begun to rot and stink. The Chu army who buried the corpses in the city also wore face scarves on their faces.

A team of Chu soldiers dug a pit at the foot of the city wall, and threw the naked corpses into the pit.

Lu Zhi covered his nose with his hand, looked disgustedly at the team of Chu soldiers who were digging a hole by the city wall, and said to Shi Lei, "They are really boring. They don't bury people when they kill them. They have to wait for a few days. Now the city is full of stench."

Shi Lei glanced at Lu Zhi with some surprise, but he quickly turned his gaze aside. He who had no intention of guarding against Lu Zhi before, raised a little vigilance because of her words.

Few women are so calm when they see a dead person, unless this woman is extraordinary.

Lu Zhi's words were blurted out. After she said it, she immediately regretted it. She quickly changed the subject and asked Shi Lei: "General Shi, can you see how many people are busy by the city wall?"

Shi Lei knew that she was deliberately changing the subject, so he didn't say anything. He glanced at Chu Jun who was digging a hole to bury the corpse in the distance and said: "Nine soldiers, one Shifu!"

"Ah? How come you can even tell the Chief Shifu?" After Shi Lei's words came out, Lu Zhi looked at him in astonishment, as if seeing a visitor from outside the sky.

"He doesn't work!" Shi Lei shrugged his shoulders and murmured towards the group of Chu soldiers.

"Oh!" Lu Zhi took a long breath and looked at the group of Chu soldiers. Sure enough, he saw a man with his hands behind his back pointing at the soldiers who were working, and couldn't help but smiled knowingly.

The two walked in the city for a while, and the stench permeating everywhere made them feel sick.Lu Zhi originally wanted to inquire about Xiang Ye's information from Shi Lei, but was completely dispelled by the stench, and finally had no choice but to say to Shi Lei: "There is a stench everywhere in the city, let's go back first."

Shi Lei responded, and walked towards the barracks side by side with Lu Zhi.

He didn't know Lu Zhi, but other people in the barracks did.When the two left the barracks, someone had already reported the matter to Liu Bang.

After Liu Bang heard about it, he just smiled lightly and didn't say anything.He has great confidence in Lu Zhi. Although Lu Zhi is nearly 30 years younger than him, she is a very scheming and ambitious woman. If she hadn't discovered that Shi Lei had something to use, she would definitely not have left the barracks with him .

After Lu Zhi and Shi Lei returned to the barracks, they said goodbye to each other and went back to their residences.

Walking around with Lu Zhi, Shi Lei felt as if a stone was crushed in his heart, heavy, but he couldn't find the reason.

When he returned to the residence, he found that Xiang Ye and Mengsu had gone somewhere, their rooms were all empty, and he asked the guard, but the guard only said that they went out together, but they didn't know where they went.

After Shi Lei went out, Xiang Ye and Meng Su sat face to face, silent for a long time, finally Meng Su raised his head and said to Xiang Ye: "Can you accompany me for a walk? I want to blow some air."

The dull atmosphere in the room made Xiang Ye feel a little unbearable, when Meng Su asked to go out for a walk, he agreed without hesitation.

After walking out of the room, Xiang Ye and Mengsu felt a little dazed again.The military camp was built in the west of the city, and there was almost no other place to go except for a residential area.

The two walked silently in the barracks, and from time to time one or two pairs of patrol soldiers passed by them.When they came to the westernmost corner of the barracks, Monsu stopped.

Seeing her stop, Xiang Ye looked back at her and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Meng Su lowered his head and pursed his lips. After a long time, he said in a voice as thin as a gnat: "Are you really going to leave me?"

Xiang Ye smiled, turned around to face Mengsu, sighed and said to her: "Mengsu, there is something I want you to know, I brought you here because I hope you will be safe in the future, Today is a troubled time, if you are always wandering outside, sooner or later you will be murdered by minions sent by Zhao Gao. You are safe only if you stay here. But I don’t like this place at all, and I don’t want to be anyone Seize the weapons of Jiangshan, do you understand me when I say that?"

Meng Su lowered his head, bit his lips tightly with his teeth, and after a while he shook his head desperately and said to Xiang Ye: "No! I don't understand! These days, if it weren't for you, I would have been murdered No, you are not here, I don’t know how to protect myself; if you are not here, I will definitely die. Don’t go, or take me with you when you want to go, okay?”

Xiang Ye stretched out his hand and patted Mengsu's shoulder lightly, with the corners of his mouth slightly upward, and said with a embarrassed smile, "I don't even know where I'm going in the future, how can I take you with me?"

"I don't care!" Meng Su suddenly reached out and knocked Xiang Ye's hand aside. When she looked up, Xiang Ye saw a crystal teardrop hanging from the corner of her eye: "I just want to be with you, you If you are a general, I will be your lieutenant; if you are a swordsman, I will be your entourage; if you are only a farmer, I will be your peasant wife!"

Xiang Ye was so surprised by Mengsu's words that he didn't close his mouth for a long time. He took care of her with the attitude of fulfilling his promise all the way. What he didn't expect was that Mengsu would tell him so boldly that if he was a farmer, She did what his peasant woman said.

"Did you really protect me these days just to fulfill your promise?" Xiang Ye was silent, but Mengsu didn't intend to let him go, her face was covered with tears, and she said with a choked voice: "Is the promise really that important? You would rather suffer Li Feng's sword than protect me? Did you send me here for safety, even at the expense of your own life?"
