Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 1239: The Duke's Daughter [asking for monthly votes]

Wu Xian was disappointed.

"I told you not to mention it, so you really didn't mention it?"

How could he not know that these people would be so obedient?

Wu Xian clenched his back teeth, his cheek muscles tensed tightly, and squeezed out word by word from his throat: "Xinnan is ready to fight Shen Youli to the death. If I had known this, would I have come here when I went out? It's better to go to the North Pole to see the Eye of Heaven!"

It is said that north of Mozhou, there are thousands of miles of frozen land, and there are often colorful lights of various shapes, from Yin to Chen, and the arrogance is over.

Some colorful lights look like the Eye of Heaven.

Wu Xian has only seen it in folk travel notes, and he is very curious.

The former scout shrank his neck after being scolded, and the other troops looked at each other, and then all looked at Wu Xian, hoping that the parents could make a decision. The girl mustered up her courage and stepped forward to gently stroke Wu Xian's arm: "Now that things have come to this, it's useless for my father to scold me."

Seeing her come forward, the former scout grinned.

He said, "Don't worry, I'm sure this scout is not that powerful, and the estimated number of troops coming here is not that large. We found it early, so we should be careful and avoid it, and we will definitely not be discovered."

The daughter's comfort quickly extinguished his already small anger.

Wu Xian's eyebrows moved: "So confident?"

The former scout said embarrassedly: "Ahem, I have been a little slack in recent months, and I am not as sharp as before. Even if I can find them first, I can imagine it."

The current scouts are not as vigilant as he retired.

What level, you can experience it yourself.

Wu Xian carefully stroked the hammer head with his palm, pacing hesitantly. The former scout winked at the others, and the others winked at Wu Xian's daughter - Wu Xian was okay in other aspects, but his wavering and lukewarm style was really annoying.

After receiving the signal from her uncle, the girl timidly grabbed Wu Xian's sleeve.

The pair of black and white eyes were full of admiration, as if the purest light in the world fell into her eyes. Being stared at by such eyes, even the most forged steel would turn into a soft silk, not to mention that the girl had a face that was 60% similar to her mother's.

Especially these eyes, which were almost carved from the same mold.

Wu Xian's love for this daughter was more than that of dozens of other children tied together. She didn't need to say or do anything, just standing there, and she could easily make Wu Xian calm down. He said, "Father is thinking about whether to turn back."

The girl's movements were stiff for a moment.

The appearance of scouts meant that the enemy was not far away.

In this situation, do you still need to hesitate whether to go back?

Wu Xian didn't miss his daughter's reaction. He thought she was frightened by the situation, and patted her back of the hand to comfort her: "Shen Youli gave me the title of Duke of the First Rank, and promised to ask for the title of the daughter for you. It will be passed on to you in the future, but she..."

At this point, Wu Xian's face was a little distorted.

If it was just the four states of "Shen, Wu, Tang, and Di" that were so bizarre, it would only make things difficult for Wu Xian. For him, this matter would even be more beneficial than harmful - only the parties involved knew that the "deep love between Tang and Di" was fake, but the outside world thought it was real and couldn't be more real. Even the historians were not stingy in praising this friendship. It is conceivable how people in later generations would praise it. After careful calculation, Wu Xian still made a profit.

The main reason for his dissatisfaction was this Duke of the First Rank - Shen Youli conferred the title of Duke of the First Rank to Gu Ren and the same title to Wu Xian. Thinking of her stinginess, Wu Xian had never thought about how well she treated him - but why did she give Gu Ren's descendants the title of Duke of the First Rank, but he himself did not have this additional preferential treatment?

Don't say that the chaotic world may not be passed on to the third generation. It's the same with or without the title of Duke of the First Rank. Is it the same with or without the title? He, Wu Zhaode, is not more politically meaningful to her than a dead person? Wu Xian was so angry that his chest hurt when he thought about this.

But Wu Xian couldn't bring it up directly.

He asked for his daughter to be crowned as a princess, but Shen did not say anything, but simply agreed to Wu Xian's request. Wu Xian received the imperial edict from the inner court, and repeatedly asked for help, and only gave up when he was sure that there was no unnecessary expression. He got angry, asked Shen Tang for leave, and took his son, daughter, and his confidants on a spontaneous trip.

Wu Xian didn't believe that Shen Tang could still sit still like this.

As a result, this guy really sat still!

He didn't even move his butt!

As the leader of the warlords who once competed with her, Wu Xian, after being defeated, took the title of the first-rank Duke of Kangguo and traveled around Kangguo with his confidants, but she didn't respond at all! Wu Xian thought she would be nervous and ask a few questions, and then he could go down the stairs, play miserable, and cry about the pity of parents in the world. Shen Tang would be "touched" by him and make up for him with the treatment of "three generations of surrender", and this matter would be perfectly turned over?

But Shen didn't see the hint.

I don't know if he is blind or pretending to be confused.

As the only two dukes of Kangguo, Wu Xian took the initiative to ask for his daughter to be the heir. The political significance is great. Why is it not worth a "three generations down"? In the future, the title will be passed to his daughter. As the first daughter in the history of Kangguo and even the mainland, Shen Youli will be embarrassed as the king if she is demoted to inherit the title? Wu Xian really can't figure it out.

The girl's face was gloomy when she heard it.

What Wu Xian mentioned was also a pain in her heart.

She has many half-siblings, and there are also some who have good cultivation qualifications. Everyone thought that Wu Xian would choose one of them as the heir to the title for the continuation of the family, but Wu Xian would choose her against all odds.

A daughter without cultivation qualifications.

This decision made the brothers and sisters jealous and angry. They knew Wu Xian was partial but they didn't expect him to be so partial. Some of them simply turned to their maternal family.

The remaining children could only accept the reality. There was nothing they could do if they refused to accept it. Wu Xian was in his prime. Although he lost to Shen Tang, he still retained a considerable part of the family property. If some of it could flow out from his fingers, it would be enough for them to live a life of luxury.

The girl was not as open-minded as them.

She had no talent for cultivation and could not keep her future title.

She was unwilling to be a rich and idle person. She couldn't pin her hopes on the next generation and expect one of them to turn the situation around? As a man, her father could have dozens of children and could always bet on someone with talent. As a woman, she couldn't do it. The human wave tactic didn't work...

As a result, she felt even more depressed.

These thoughts could not be told to outsiders, especially Wu Xian.

She knew why her father favored her so much, but he did his best to make up for it through her missing her deceased mother Mi Kui. To maximize this favoritism, she naturally had to maximize her natural advantages. It was not enough to look similar, but the temperaments had to be as close as possible. Whether it was true or false, the most important thing was to gain benefits!

The girl's eyes were faintly watery.

She blamed herself in disappointment: "It's my daughter who is not motivated..."

If she had the qualifications to practice, she could keep the title of Duke of the first rank even without "Three Generations of Descendants", and she didn't need any extra treatment. Wu Xian felt distressed when he heard it: "Talent matters, how can they be solved by motivation? Blame the parents."

Wu Xian added: "Blame your father."

Mi Kui was smart and clever, and indeed much better than him.

The girl didn't dare to continue talking, but bit her lips with emotion, wanting to cry but not crying. Wu Xian looked at her like this, and his heart softened into a pool of water: "Hey, leave the motivation to your father."

A huge amount of information in just a few words.

The girl was dumbfounded: "Father?"

Wu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly towards the direction of the enemy scouts' activities, and played with the bone hammer deftly with his fingers: "You heard it too, this group of people below are not elite, and they are not very dangerous. We are in the light, they are in the dark, and we can take advantage of them."

The enemy has reached the border. No matter whether Wu Xian sends someone to report the news, or reports the news and takes a few heads for fun, no matter how big or small the credit is, Shen Youli will take the responsibility! Wu Xian hesitated just now to weigh the benefits of both!

The girl grabbed Wu Xian's arm.

War is not a joke.

Wu Xian has been idle for two years, and before that he was a pampered king. It is unknown when he will lead troops to fight. If he rashly goes to the battlefield now, she is also afraid that he will be in danger. This worry is not only about the loss of backing, but also a bit of father-daughter friendship. When the capital of Gao State was on fire, their mother sent them out ahead of time. Although they saved their lives, they were afraid and displaced along the way, which left an indelible shadow on her life.

"Father!"

The girl's voice was a little trembling.

Wu Xian did not waver, but turned to look at his son. He said seriously: "A man should stand tall and protect his blood relatives. Your father set a bad example before, you should not learn from him."

The young man's back stiffened for a moment, and then relaxed.

He nodded solemnly: "My son will."

His mother gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and now there are only the two of them.

Wu Xian sent ten people to follow his children, and the rest followed him.

He watched the twelve people disappear at the corner of the plank road, jump down from the back of the mountain, and disappear in the vast sea of ​​trees. Wu Xian had no worries in his heart. He was seen waving the bone hammer in his hand, with the hammer head against the mountain wall. The Dan Mansion surged with martial energy, and he put on his full armor again!

At this moment, his back was straighter.

Long-lost sharpness burst out from his eyes.

The surrounding troops and confidants all looked at him with excitement in their eyes.

"Brothers, your swords are not rusted, right?" Wu Xian was talking and laughing, while raising his hand to transform into a mask to cover his entire face, exhaling foul air, and abandoning the laziness he had cultivated over the years!

Everyone was so excited that their eyes turned red, and they all responded in unison.

"No rust!"

"Grind it three times a day, it won't rust!"

Wu Xian was very satisfied with these answers, but he felt a little empty in his heart - compared with these old people, he has indeed been too lax over the years - fortunately, Wudan warriors are not easy to get fat, so his waist has not swelled to the point where the original size can't be seen.

"It's good that it's not rusted!"

"It doesn't matter if it's rusted, just grind it with bones!"

"Everyone, follow me!"

Wu Xian took the lead and jumped down the plank road, and went down the mountain steadily after a few jumps. Behind him, dozens of people followed his pace one by one. Although there are not many of them, they are all Wudan warriors! In terms of combat power, they are not inferior to hundreds of people!

At the same time, Wu Xian's children were also working hard.

The girl ordered: "Quickly inform the garrison commander of the news!"

They were not sure how many enemies had come!

Was it the main force of the vanguard, or the outpost for investigation?

For a moment, various thoughts passed through her mind. She could even hear the restless heartbeat in her chest, and her hands and feet were cold. The whole person seemed to be pulled back to the time when she fled the capital. The tip of her nose seemed to be able to smell the lingering burnt smell.

The young man saw her hesitation and fear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Just a few words gave her great courage.

She took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

As time went by, her complexion did not improve. When she passed the news to the garrison commander, her face was pale and bloodless. She still said: "... This is what happened. General Yang, please send troops to support my father as soon as possible!"

It is no small matter for a first-rank duke to die on the front line.

Even if Wu Xian sneaked to the front line by himself and happened to detect the enemy's traces, and led dozens of people to the enemy's outposts for the sake of greed, the world would not believe it. They only want to believe what they believe! Compared with the so-called coincidence, the twists and turns of the plot are more eye-catching.

Lord Shen doesn't want his reputation to be damaged, right?

The garrison commander was not surprised by the enemy's traces, but he had no choice but to let Wu Xian get involved. If Wu Zhaode died in his own territory, he would really be in trouble: "Don't worry, my lady, I know about this matter, and I will send troops to support Duke Lu and others."

Duke Lu is Duke Lu Wu Xian.

The original title was to choose between "Gao" and "Wu", which could be used anyway, and it saved the trouble of addressing. However, considering that Wu Xian might hit the pillar in shame and anger, Shen Tang had to change it to "Lu", and Wu Xian was willing to stop.

The girl was grateful and said, "Thank you, General Yang!"

General Yang did not accept her courtesy: "No need to be polite, my lady, if you think carefully, Duke Lu is also my benefactor."

The girl was stunned and didn't know about this origin.

General Yang sighed: "That was an old story many years ago."

During the battle of Xiaocheng, the lady might have just been born, so she naturally didn't know about this past. This General Yang was also an acquaintance, the former Sibao County Commandant Yang Gong. In the battle of defending Xiaocheng, he burned his own courage and fought to the death with Gong Xichou...

The result was no suspense, he was defeated miserably.

Originally, he was doomed to die, but was forcibly rescued by Shen Tang.

For many years afterwards, his will was worn out and he became an ordinary person. During the Heyin County period, he helped Shen Tang train his troops, but as an ordinary person, he could only do so much. Later, he went to look after the shops. During the Longwu County period, he changed his job to guard the salt warehouse, and reunited with his daughter Yang Ying, and became more and more satisfied with his current life. As Shen Tang became more and more successful, Yang Gong became less and less important and was no longer needed.

He also lived a rich man at ease.

But——

This body was too bad after all.

Burning the Dan Mansion was a desperate gamble, and he was able to live many more years by stealing. In the past few years, his body became more and more useless, and the doctors in Xinglin were helpless to treat him in turns. Doctors can only treat stubborn diseases, but cannot take away life from heaven.

He told himself that he should be content.

Yang Ying was already able to set up a family, and he was no longer needed.

But no matter how he comforted himself, the voice of unwillingness became louder and louder, reaching its peak in the days when he thought he was dying! He still had too much unwillingness! He was not able to leave his body on the battlefield, and he was not able to see his daughter Yang Ying get married and have children.

Are you willing?

No!
