Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 40
"Kneel down!" Wang's voice was full of anger.

Jiang Jinqian paused for a moment, bit her lip and knelt down, "Mother, I..."

Wang stroking her chest, she has had trouble sleeping and eating for the past few days, and this morning, the person sent by her brother told him that the task she entrusted him to go to the gambling house had not been completed.

There was a thunder in her heart, and after sending the woman away with a reluctant smile, her blood surged, and she drank several cups of tea before suppressing her anger.

You don't need to think about it to know that this is what my good daughter did!
Just as she was going to her courtyard, she heard a servant girl come to report that the second young miss had arrested a servant girl who committed a crime and went to Wutong Garden.

Mrs. Wang knew her daughter well. Jiang Jinyan was soft and cowardly in the past, which was easy to handle, but now she is so hard-hearted towards herself and Qian'er. Qian'er can't bear this loss and swallow this breath.

Can't bear to do these mindless things?

If she hadn't rushed away by herself, Qian'er might be crowned with a title of no distinction between dignity and inferiority. At that time, being a concubine would not only fail to save her, but would also be implicated.

Ever since the accident happened in Pinxiangxuan, I have been cautious, if something happened at this juncture, the consequences would be disastrous!

"You know what's wrong?"

Jiang Jinqian suffered from Jiang Jinyan again, but thinking that he would not listen to advice, he bowed his head guiltily and said in a low voice: "Mother, I thought I could..."

"Do you think? Do you think you can bring her down? Do you think she, Jiang Jinyan, is still at your disposal?!"

Jiang Jinqian clenched his fists thinking of Jiang Jinyan's condescending look when he stood in front of him to accept his gift.

"Mother! Daughter is not reconciled! Why... why! How can I be worse than her Jiang Jinyan! Why... why does my mother and I have to kneel for so many days when she says a word! Why can she step on my head! Why..."

Wang was stunned for a while, then helped Jiang Jinqian who was crying, "Qian'er..."

Jiang Jinqian threw herself into Wang's arms, "Mother, why...why are you not married...why am I just a concubine..."

Wang's heart tightened, she lowered her eyes, with a hint of sternness in her eyes, and said softly: "Qian'er, mother will not let you be wronged for too long."

Since we can't win over, we can't wait to die.

After leaving the Jing'an Hou's Mansion, Xia He breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really as deep as the sea once you enter the Hou's Mansion."

Xu Ming shook his head helplessly, "You know you're afraid?"

Xia He turned around and smiled, "I'm not afraid! I'm going to trample on concubines like Miss Jiang!"

Xu Ming reached out to cover her mouth, "Keep your voice down!"

Xia He smiled embarrassedly, "Xu Ming, you were in the flower hall, but you missed the show."

Xu Ming didn't take it seriously, "I heard, Miss Jiang sent a maid for my concubine."

Xia He pouted, "You can't teach a child. If you live in a deep house, you probably won't even have bones left."

Seeing her serious look, Xu Ming smiled and said, "Then what did you see?"

Only then did Xia He smile in satisfaction, and coughed lightly, "Second Miss is here to provoke, that maid did nothing wrong at all, I guess, she should belong to the Eldest Miss, and the Second Miss is trying to force the Eldest Miss, or Just give up the people under him, or... just deal with it with my own hands. I didn't expect that this seemingly amiable eldest lady is so powerful. She blocked the words of the second lady and the concubine with a few words. She is really beautiful. Don't be fooled by appearances!"

Xu Ming smiled helplessly, "How did you see that?"

Xia He knew that he wasn't interested in these things, and he was just agreeing with himself, so he curled his lips and said, "Stop talking, let's go to Shixianglou to listen to the music!"

Xu Ming looked at his clothes and frowned. The servant took the maid to listen to the music in Shixianglou?

Xia He smiled slyly, "Don't look at it! Money can turn ghosts around! Let's go!"

Shixianglou is a famous brothel in Luoyang. Although it is a brothel, it is also very elegant. Celebrities and refined scholars or arty family children all love to come here to spend a lot of money for a song or a dance.

The clerk of Shixianglou had a vicious look, and glanced at Xia He's maid costume, just about to wave his hand to invite him out, when he saw the man next to Xia He dressed in green clothes and dressed as a servant, but the jade hairpin on his head looked very familiar.

correct!It's the hairpin of Jinyulou!The young master of the Ministry of Punishment was still wearing such a jade hairpin the day before yesterday!
The boy laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "Master! Please, please!"

Xu Ming twitched the corner of his mouth, this guy's eyes were really vicious.

Xia He glared at the clerk, and said leisurely: "The money is in the hands of this lady."

The guy bent over and smiled and said: "Miss is beautiful and beautiful, I have never seen a person like you before, it is really rude, please go to the private room upstairs, miss!"

"It's almost..."

Xu Junhui, who was going downstairs, glanced at Xu Ming, who was dressed as a servant, and saw a handsome maid standing beside him.

Xu Ming is the most capable man around Xu Junyan, dressed like this and brought a beautiful maid to Shixianglou?

I really opened my eyes!

A playful smile flashed across the corner of Xu Junhui's mouth, and he walked towards Xu Ming and Xia He with his entourage.

Seeing that Xu Junhui couldn't dodge, Xu Ming had no choice but to bow his hands and say, "Xu Ming has seen the young master."

Xu Junhui fiddled with the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "I thought Xu Ming, you forgot your identity when you became a captain. I didn't expect you to remember to wear the clothes of a servant of our country's government."

Xu Ming was born as a servant, but when he followed Xu Junyan to Jin'an to learn martial arts, he had already regained his freedom and was no longer a servant of the mansion.

Xia He stepped forward and said angrily, "Young Master Xu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is naturally a nobleman who forgets a lot! Xu Ming has long since had nothing to do with your Anguo Gongfu!"

Xu Junhui glanced at Xia He's pretty face with anger, and smiled even more flamboyantly, "Which yard do you belong to? Did you follow Xu Ming? Why don't you follow Master Ben, huh?"

Speaking of reaching out to pull Xia He, Xia He clenched his fist and took a step back before dodging his hand.

She is not a maid, she can't offend her, she is not afraid of mere servant of the Ministry of Officials, before her father retired, he even beat the Minister of the Ministry of Officials!

Xu Ming held back his anger and pulled Xia He past him, deftly dispelled her palm, and said to Xu Junhui with a cold face: "Xu Ming still has work to do, so leave!"

If you want to deal with Xu Junyan, you have to let him go downhill. Provoking him at this time will only cause trouble for the master.

After Xu Ming finished speaking, he dragged Xia He out of Shixianglou.

Xu Junhui had a gloomy face, cursing bad luck.

Even a dog next to Xu Junyan dared to be so presumptuous to him!
He, Xu Junyan, is just a concubine. In the future, Duke Anguo's mansion can only be his own. He has only become a fourth-rank military general, so what if he leads Zhennanwei?

Without the support of his family, could he hold this army? !delusion!
In the Suzaku camp, the three lieutenants knelt down in front of Xu Junyan with pale faces, "General Xu, I know I was wrong, so I ask General Xu to hold you up high and spare the latter!"

Xu Junyan sat on the grand teacher's chair with a peaceful expression, "The three of you gave me a reason to spare you."

The three looked at each other.

Xu Junyan smiled lightly: "The three generals may have regarded Xu as Meng Tian of the Xuanwu Camp."

Then his tone became cold, "Since the three generals have already recognized the Lord, it is Xu who blocked the way of the three."

The three of them still couldn't afford to kneel, they had no choice but to submit. The handsome young general in front of him was imposing and ruthless.

Xu Junyan has cut off all their back routes, and they have been completely empty in the Suzaku camp.

Without the value of use, how could Meng Tian, ​​the leader of the Xuanwu camp, treat them.

After these three people dealt with it, Zhennanwei was truly holding it in his hand. Xu Junyan lowered his eyes, looked at his hand, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

"The three generals can continue to kneel if they want to kneel. If they kneel enough, they can go to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army. The Suzaku camp will never come again."

Xu Junyan's tone was extremely cold.

After all, there is no need to be cruel, the three useless lieutenants are not worth the effort to get rid of them, it is better to give them to Hang Zeping, the commander of the Chinese army, as a favor.

The Suzaku camp in the north of the city is where Zhennanwei is stationed. After these days of secret mobilization and manipulation, those who recognize the Lord have been convinced, and those who have two hearts have been eliminated.

This forbidden army can already be regarded as his Xu Junyan's. As a general, it is important to have soldiers loyal to him in his hands, not to mention that it is the closest to the imperial city.

Standing on the turret, Xu Junyan watched the majestic drill of the Forbidden Army on the Martial Arts Field. He thought of the fleeting opportunities on the battlefield, and the life-and-death scene when he faced Shangbeiye in Youzhou...

In order to lure the enemy to go deep, he led a group of soldiers and horses to the forefront, and the black iron sword was full of blood...

On the battlefield in Youzhou, how many good men from the Great Zhou Dynasty have been buried in the desolate land forever...

The lieutenants and generals standing beside him didn't dare to make mistakes, and stood respectfully aside. Everyone knew that Xu Junyan, who was in front of him with an elegant temperament, had made great achievements in the Youzhou battlefield!

Walking out of the Suzaku Camp, Xu Junyan frowned slightly when he saw King Duan waiting at the door.

Zhou Chengrui took a step forward and said with a smile: "General Xu, I see that the weather is fine today, so I would like to treat General Xu to a glass of thin wine."

Xu Junyan said lightly: "Xu has to go to Wucheng Bingma Division today, I'm afraid he can't..."

"Eh? General Xu doesn't need to worry too much. This king knows that General Xu will go to the Wucheng Military Division at this time of day every day. He has already sent someone to talk to Master Liang of the Military Division. General Xu does not have to refuse. This king has always been a A wealthy and idle person will not tire the general's reputation."

Xu Junyan couldn't refuse, "Since the lord has already sued Xu for leave, then Xu should be respectful rather than obedient."

After saying that, the two got on their horses and went to Shixianglou one after the other.

King Duan was dressed in a dark purple brocade robe embroidered with gold, giving him an air of nobility.

Xu Junyan, who followed closely behind him, was dressed in a brocade robe of stone blue and dark bamboo patterns.

In the south-facing wing of Shixiang Tower, there is a garden scenery outside the window, full of autumn bamboos, and the breeze blows, and the leaves are rustling.

Zhou Chengrui poured two cups of Shixianglou's signature Zuilanxiang.

"General Xu doesn't need to be polite. This king has been famous for General Xu for a long time, but it's a pity that we still meet each other too late."

Xu Junyan looked at the bamboo forest outside the window calmly. She should like this view.

Zhou Chengrui coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "This is a good drunk orchid incense from Shixiang Tower. General Xu, don't miss the fine wine."

Xu Junyan withdrew his gaze and glanced at Zhou Chengrui. The Zhennanwei in his hand had just been firmly held. Is this King Duan trying to win over the general?

"Your Highness is polite."

Xu Junyan nodded, picked up the white jade cup on the table and frowned slightly after drinking it in one gulp. The wine was too soft and couldn't compare to the strong wine on the battlefield.

Although he has been observing for so long, this Xu Junyan is indeed a character not to be underestimated.

But Zhou Chengrui was still a little uncertain about whether he could use it for himself.

After Zhou Chengrui smiled and drank a glass of wine, he gradually put away his smile.

"Does General Xu know that this time I can hold Zhennanwei in my hand, because of the favor of this king?"
