Ming Empire

Chapter 87 Going to Datong

"Sister-in-law, you can't do this!" With a loud roar, a figure rushed into the tent and knocked the sword in Hong Niangzi's hand to the ground with a "bang".

It was Li Qing, Li Yan's younger brother.

He who has a close relationship with Li Yan, after hearing that his sister-in-law Hong Niangzi came back, he ran over excitedly to see him. When he ran out of the tent, he happened to hear the last few words of Li Yan and Hong Niangzi. After "Let's be husband and wife again in the next life", he immediately felt that something was wrong, and rushed in quickly. At this time, the red lady drew her sword and wiped it on his neck.Li Qing had quick eyesight and quick hands, he kicked the sword off Hong Niangzi's hand with one kick, and kicked the sword far away with another kick.

"Sister-in-law, how could you do such a stupid thing?" Li Qing yelled at the red lady recklessly, "If there is any conflict between you and elder brother, you can sit down and discuss it, why go to such an extreme!" Turning his head to Li Yan, he said, "Brother, why are you so heartless that you forced your sister-in-law to commit suicide? What did she do to make you like this?"

"Hey, just leave this matter alone!" After Li Yanchang sighed, he signaled Li Qing to go out first.

The red lady wiped his neck with a sword just now, which frightened him too, but he hesitated and didn't rush over immediately. He thought that the red lady was just acting, and the purpose was to demonstrate to him and make him submit. He didn't expect that the red lady would really Suicide, when he found out that his wife was really doing a fake show, it was too late to save her. Fortunately, Li Qing rushed in, otherwise the red lady would have cut her own neck.

In fact, he just treated the red lady so indifferently on purpose. What he expected in the end was that the red lady would subdue, say sorry to him a few times, explain the matter in detail, explain it, and make a promise, then he would also use the steps to go down, Forgive the red lady.But things didn't turn out as he expected, Hong Niangzi was so sad that she wanted to commit suicide, which totally made him dumbfounded.

Hearing what Li Yan said, Li Qing was also dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

At this time, the red lady stomped her feet, covered her mouth to hold back her crying, and rushed out of the tent.

"Brother, hurry up and chase sister-in-law back, maybe she's doing something stupid again!" Li Qing was in a hurry and rushed to Li Yan to urge him.

"I don't care about her, the most important thing for us now is to attack Datong." Li Yan's face became very indifferent, and he frowned and shouted at Li Qing: "I will immediately call the generals to discuss how to attack Datong."

The matter between the husband and wife was known by outsiders, and he felt even more ashamed. The man's pitiful dignity made him unwilling to show weakness in front of Li Qing, and he was even more unwilling to follow Li Qing's advice to chase the red lady back.

"But sister-in-law...you don't care about her?" Unexpectedly, Li Yan's attitude towards the red lady's angry departure made Li Qing even more dumbfounded.In their eyes, Li Yan and Hong Niangzi are the gods and couples that everyone envies. They are very affectionate. He really can't understand that after Hong Niangzi went to Datong for the second time, the relationship between the two will change like this.

"Let her go. I don't have time to pay attention to this matter now. If she wants to come back, she will come back naturally. If she wants to join other people, we can't stop her!" Li Yan said with a wry smile.

"Brother, you mean, sister-in-law, she...she wants to go to the army, to join Cao Yue in Datong?" Li Qing's eyes widened even more in surprise.

"There is no such thing. Let's not talk about your sister-in-law, and let other generals come over immediately, let's discuss how to attack Datong!" At this time, Li Yan didn't have much hesitation. Datong must be attacked, Cao Cao Yue also must be eliminated, he is a very proud person, he can't bear such a shameful humiliation, his wife actually speaks for the enemy, and there is an unclear relationship.

In fact, he doesn't believe that there is any shady relationship between Hong Niangzi and Cao Yue, but Hong Niangzi has always treated him too well, and the relationship between the two is also very harmonious. He cares too much about the relationship between the two No, he couldn't tolerate the appearance of another person in Hong Niangzi's heart.He couldn't accept that the red lady was humiliated by Cao Yue, and even spoke for Cao Yue.He would rather not have all of this than give in.Cao Yue, who had never met before, became a heinous person in his mind and must be eliminated.

Hearing what Li Yan said, Li Qing didn't know how to persuade him. Finally, after heaving a long sigh, he left the tent and sent someone to tell other generals to discuss matters in Li Yan's tent.

The last time Hong Niangzi left the camp in anger and went to Datong to assassinate Cao Yue, she went alone. The two maids, Ruyi and Xiaolan, were too late to follow, and were severely punished by Li Yan in the end.This time they didn't dare to have any more surprises. After hearing that the red lady came back, they immediately waited in front of Li Yan's tent, and when they saw the red lady rushing out of the tent, they immediately followed.When the red lady stepped on the horse and ran all the way, they also hit the horse to keep up, not daring to be negligent.

Crying bitterly, the red lady galloped on her horse without arguing about the direction, let alone the two maids following behind.

She didn't expect that things would turn out like this, because of some accidents, she was disgusted by her husband-in-law, and finally the two of them got into such an unhappiness, Li Yan actually ignored her death, when she drew his sword and wanted to commit suicide, He didn't even have the thought of blocking.

At this moment, everything in her heart collapsed, she hated Li Yan, and also hated the instigator Cao Yue.

She loves Li Yan, and she also knows that Li Yan loves her. Li Yan treats her like this because of what happened between her and Cao Yue. Without Cao Yue, she would not be in the current situation. .

"Cao Yue, I must kill you," Hong Niangzi yelled as she hit the horse and galloped wildly, "I must chop off your head and give it to my husband, so that he will forgive me!"

Because she hadn't rested well during this period, she was emotional just now, and during the fast running, the red lady finally couldn't hold on, and fell off the horse, and fell into the field beside the road, covered in mud all over her body.Ruyi and Xiaoyun, who followed, quickly got off their horses, helped Hong Niang who had fallen to the ground and couldn't get up, and carried her to a nearby abandoned farmhouse, where they helped her wash off the sludge on her body, and then fed her clean water.

After a while, the red lady woke up slowly, and saw her two maids protecting her, still calling anxiously, and couldn't help but shed tears again.The two maids had no choice but to keep persuading Hong Niangzi not to be sad.

Hong Niangzi is also a bold woman. After crying for a while, it seems that most of the depression in her heart has disappeared, and she wiped away her tears and got up.

After crying for a while, it seemed that the resentment towards Cao Yue was not as serious as when she was riding a horse and galloping just now. In fact, she really didn't think Cao Yue was a bad person. He was a good official, a good person, and very bloody. Most importantly, He didn't have any malice towards her, otherwise he wouldn't have caught her several times and then let her go.If it were someone else, it would not be so cheap for her. They might use her to threaten Li Yan, or really insult her, making her life worse than death.

The embarrassment that happened between the two of them can't be called humiliation. I really can't blame anyone for what happened in a hurry.

This is also the reason why when she faced Cao Yue last time, she could stab him to death with a sword, but she couldn't. The last time she had a drink and talk with Cao Yue, Cao Yue's words gave her a strong trigger.War is the most fundamental reason for the suffering of the people, and the rebel army is not as great as originally thought. The troops led by Cao Yue are the most disciplined army in the world, and they will be supported by the people.Such a person who loves the people like a son and wants to defend his family and country, drive out the Tartars, and let the people of the world live a healthy life, even if he is killed, his conscience will not let him go.

But if she didn't kill Cao Yue, she wouldn't be able to get Li Yan's forgiveness. It was really a tangled matter.

"Ma'am, let's go back to the camp, the general must be sending people to look for you everywhere!" the maid Ruyi whispered.

"No, he won't look for me, he doesn't care about my life or death anymore." Thinking of Li Yan's unfeeling just now, the red lady burst into tears again, but she quickly wiped away her tears and stood up.

"Ma'am, where are we going?" Xiaolan asked cautiously.

"Where are we going? Where can we go?" The red lady looked at the distant mountains, shaking her head and smiling wryly.

The two maids didn't dare to say anything, they stood beside the red lady with their heads down.They know their master's character well, and under the current circumstances, it's best for them not to say anything.

"Let's go to Datong, Mr. Xianggong is not going to lead an army to attack Datong, maybe we can help him!" The red lady said, ignoring the two maids, jumped on her mount, kicked the horse and left.

Ruyi and Xiaolan quickly followed suit!
