Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 245
"It would be great if the father-in-law could lead the troops back to the defense. There are three thousand soldiers defending the city in Qu County, plus thousands of sailors, which is enough to defend. Excluding these troops, Qu County still has more than 4 troops. The son-in-law left two One thousand tiger guards, two thousand bear guards, six thousand archers, plus [-] handymen, two iron cavalry, two tiger cavalry, and the remaining [-] soldiers will be led by father-in-law." Feng Yao said.

"My son-in-law, you mean you only keep five hundred cavalry? What about those cavalry archers?" Gong Du asked.

"The eastern part of Yanzhou and Qingzhou are all mountainous places, which are not conducive to the battle of cavalry archers. It is better to bring them back to the Yingchuan battlefield!" Feng Yao said.

"Okay, I will take these soldiers back." Gong Du said.

"Also, father-in-law, there are silver taels, selected slaves, and some talents with special talents from this battle. You can bring them all to Pingyu and hand them over to Yinglian for safekeeping. Yinglian only has ten slaves under her command, and The things she manages are the most, please ask her father-in-law to persuade her, some things can be left to the servants to do, don't get tired!" Feng Yao said.

Gong Du nodded, with an unpredictable smile on his face, he patted Feng Yao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "My son-in-law, as long as you can always remember Yinglian in your heart, that's fine. Just marry the woman back, father-in-law, I will support you!"

Feng Yao was moved in his heart, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Father-in-law, there is one more thing. I hope that when father-in-law passes through Xiapi, he can bring Cao Yanran back to Pingyu together, um..., as well as Zhu'er, Xing'er, etc. , and all the wives and concubines that the generals got this time, take them all back to Pingyu! I don’t want the soldiers to be more interested in beauty when they go out to fight!”

"Okay, that's right!" Gong Du nodded.

"Then let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, please father-in-law prepare some chariots and horses in advance, and distribute the money and food. In the morning of the day after tomorrow, the son-in-law will lead the army to go out, and the father-in-law will lead the troops back to Pingyu!" Feng Yao said.

"Well, that's it. If there is nothing else, I won't disturb my son-in-law's rest! Resign!" Gong Du bowed and stood up.

Feng Yao also stood up, sent Gong Du to the front yard, checked the defenses in the mansion, and returned to Zhu'er.

Zhu'er had prepared a cup of tea a long time ago, and when Feng Yao came back, she immediately brought the tea with a smile and walked over, "Husband, you must be thirsty, I just made tea!" After taking a sip, he handed the tea to Feng Yao.

"Just right, neither cold nor hot!" Zhu'er said.

Feng Yao served the tea, looked at it, the tea was slightly steaming, the fragrance of the tea wafted from his nostrils, and the light tea color appeared clear and bright.

"I didn't expect Zhu'er to be so careful, and it seems that she tasted the tea in front of my face, she was testing the tea and wanted me to drink it with confidence, not bad!" Feng Yao thought.

Feng Yao took a sip, and when he was about to drink it all up, Zhu'er stopped him with a smile: "Mr., you must be tired after a day. Please sit on the couch and drink tea slowly, and my servant will wash you up." foot!"

After Zhu'er finished speaking, she blinked her charming eyes, and seeing Feng Yao nodding, she quickly pulled Feng Yao to the side of the couch to sit down, and a pot of hot water was already ready.

"Zhu'er, these are the jobs of maidservants, it's really difficult for you!" Feng Yao said.

"Husband, Zhu'er was originally a maidservant, and it is Zhu'er's happiest thing to serve her husband! Zhu'er is not in trouble!" As she spoke, Zhu'er took off Feng Yao's boots, and put Feng Yao's feet together. Press in the hot water and scrub gently.

Although Zhu'er could feel that Zhu'er's movements were a little rusty, but Zhu'er's soft jade hands kept sliding on her feet, which was still very enjoyable.

Feng Yao directly drank the tea, put the teacup aside, and looked down at Zhu Er's serious and lovely expression.

I have to admit that Zhu'er is indeed very beautiful, the black hair on her head is shining brightly under the light, straight and soft, Feng Yao couldn't help but reached out and stroked Zhu'er's hair.

Zhu'er shook her body, raised her head shyly, smiled at Feng Yao, lowered her head again, washed Feng Yao's feet with both hands quickly, her breathing was already a little rough.

After a while, after washing his feet, Zhu'er took the cotton cloth again, and wiped Feng Yao's feet carefully. Blow out the oil lamp, ………………….

……

An hour later, Feng Yao hugged Zhu'er who was limp all over, and lay on the couch.

"Zhu'er, do you still have family?" Feng Yao remembered that Zhu'er was going to be sent to Pingyu tomorrow, so his heart moved, and he wanted to take this time to learn more about Zhu'er's identity.

Zhu'er wrapped herself around Feng Yao's body like a snake, and pillowed her face on Feng Yao's arm. In the dark night, her shining eyes could be seen wide open.

"The slave family only remembers a vague shadow. The slave family may have left home when he was only five years old. He only remembers that he has parents and an elder brother. The family is doing well. His father may be a small official. He often sees someone giving his father Kneel down!" Zhu'er recalled slowly.

At this time, Feng Yao suddenly felt hot and humid on his arms, as if a few drops of tears dripped down, he asked quickly, "Zhu Er, why are you crying?"

Zhu'er raised her hand, wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just that I have experienced some things, and I gradually understand what's going on. , Zhu'er is very happy now!" As she spoke, Zhu'er bit Feng Yao's arm lightly, and giggled again.

It's just that in the superficially pleasant laughter, there is a trace of sadness that is hard to find.

Feng Yao reached out and stroked Zhu'er's face, stroked her hair behind her ears, and gently wiped away the remaining tears in her eyes, and said pitifully, "Zhu'er, can you tell me what you understand? You will be my husband from now on, and I really want to know everything about you!"

"Husband! My family can be said to be lucky or unlucky. Fortunately, I met my husband. Unfortunately, my parents gradually found out after growing up. It turned out that my family was trafficked and sold here since I was a child." of!"

"When the slave family thinks of the scene where the parents in the family may have lost their children and wash their faces with tears all day long, they can't help but feel sad, but there is nothing they can do. If it weren't for the husband leading the army to attack Qu County this time, within a month at most, the slave family would be destroyed. The Mi family sells them as slaves to strangers who can afford enough money!"

"My family has also heard that many female slaves who were sold ended up miserable! To be favored by your husband and respected so much, my family already feels very happy!" Zhu'er softly told her story, As if he was telling another story, his tone gradually became calmer.

But Feng Yao was shocked by these words in Feng Yao's ears!

"I thought these female slaves were sold by their family members, but I didn't expect that they were abducted and sold by human traffickers since they were young! This kind of insane behavior is intolerable!! Pearl, don't be sad, I must investigate this matter Be clear, and kill these human traffickers! If possible, I will help you find your family!"

Perhaps because he was lost from home when he was young, Feng Yao especially hated such people.
