Plan to cut off the nine states

Xue Jinyao returned to the camp and entered the meeting hall. She saw King Wu discussing matters with the generals. She said nothing and stood silently at the door watching.

Many of Niu Tiannu's words moved her deeply, but none of them were as good as King Wu himself.

King Wu saw her and smiled and nodded to her. Xue Jinyao was worried that his true feelings would be revealed, so his face became colder and he even looked away.

There were many generals in the hall, nearly half of them were former leaders of the World Army. Xue Jinyao knew almost all of them, except for a few who couldn't name them.

Some generals saluted the Golden Saint, while others turned a blind eye.

Xue Jinyao had experienced the days of poverty and did not care about the kindness of people. She would not reciprocate when people turned their hands to her, and she did not care if they were cold. She turned her eyes as if looking for someone, but in fact, she just wanted to take a look at King Wu when she moved her eyes. .

Even towards her husband, she must maintain some dignity.

The King of Wu talked eloquently, and did not feel embarrassed at all when facing generals with complex origins and different demands. In one sentence, he could always try to please all parties.

He said: "Tian Cheng destroyed the five kingdoms, tortured the people, and caused chaos in all directions. If Tian Cheng is not destroyed, we will never be able to rest at ease. You came all the way from Qinzhou, Jingzhou, or Wuzhou. What did you do? It is nothing more than avenging great revenge and avenging great humiliation. Fortunately, we have captured the Eastern Capital, which is half of what we have experienced. If we are defeated by the officers and soldiers again, it is tantamount to adding new humiliation to the old humiliation..."

The generals nodded one after another, wondering if they really took it seriously.

Xue Jinyao was convinced. Even before King Wu finished speaking, she was already convinced. She couldn't help but think: He can really speak with this mouth. If it were another person, it would definitely be disgusting, but it's him, it's him... …

Xue Jinyao was afraid that he could not help but reveal his true feelings, so he turned around and left. He sat down in the room and thought carefully about what King Wu had said. He slowly understood that King Wu was still trying to win the trust of the kings. He hoped that the generals would keep their words to themselves. Word spread, making everyone think that he only wanted to defeat the officers and soldiers and had no intention of fighting within.

"If he didn't have such big ambitions, it would be great if he could go back to Qinzhou with me." Xue Jinyao murmured. Unlike other women who would appreciate flowers and compose poems when they are melancholy, Xue Jinyao would wipe his knife whenever he was worried. .

She has more than a dozen knives of different styles, all of which were stolen by the King of the World. Her daughter asked for them, but no one dared to fight for them.

Xue Jinyao wiped the knife carefully, not missing every inch. After wiping it once, he looked at it repeatedly against the sun. If he was slightly dissatisfied, he immediately wiped it again.

This trick was always effective. Xue Jinyao's heart gradually calmed down, so he put away the knife and went next door to visit his brother.

The three-year-old son of the coming king was completely unaware of the changes in his family. As long as his wet nurse was still there, everything was normal in the world.

Xue Jinyao couldn't remember what his brother's biological mother looked like, and didn't care. He held him and coaxed him for a while, then returned him to the wet nurse, then walked out and came to the door of another room. Just as he was about to push the door in, he knocked on the door instead. .

Feng Juniang opened the door with a smile on her face, "Why is the Golden Saint here? Ask someone to bring you a message, and I will go see you."

"No need to bother." Xue Jinyao stepped into the house.

Feng Juniang noticed that the Golden Saint was carrying a knife, and her heart skipped a beat. Although the Golden Saint often carried a knife, she was still a little scared, and the smile on her face became stiff.

Feng Juniang closed the door and walked to the table to pour tea. Finally she couldn't hold it back and blurted out: "It's the King of Wu who didn't let me talk nonsense. Really, Golden Saint, it's not me who didn't say it..."

"What are you talking about?"

"Ah? Didn't the Golden Saint come to ask me about meeting my godmother?"

"no."

Feng Juniang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sit down." Xue Jinyao ordered.

Feng Juniang immediately sat down, feeling nervous again, and argued: "I and the King of Wu are innocent, he...he doesn't like me at all."

Xue Jinyao snorted, "I'm not here for this either."

Feng Juniang smiled awkwardly and said: "That's because I'm overthinking it. Golden Saint, please sit down and have a cup of tea... The tea is a little cold, I'll ask the maid to heat it..."

"No need, where is the maid?"

"Outside...will be back soon." Feng Juniang did not forget to add.

Xue Jin refused to sit down, "What are your plans?"

"Intend?"

"Yes, what are you going to do in the future?"

"I...I don't know, what else can I do if I am born as a woman, and in troubled times, I have no choice but to drift with the tide?" Feng Juniang saw that the Golden Saint seemed to have no ill intentions, and she spoke much more normally.

"You duckweed has some ideas. Just after the death of your previous husband, you immediately became entangled with another man."

"It's not that I want to pester the King of Wu. It's actually... every time my husband dies, a group of men always come around and fight for me, as if I like this kind of thing. In order to avoid causing more injustice, I must find a backer as soon as possible. In the past, my godmother chose someone for me, but now she is not willing to meddle in other people's affairs, so I have to step in and help King Wu kill my husband. If I find someone else to back me up, it would seem like I am dissatisfied with King Wu. ,so……"

"You are also very eloquent." Xue Jinyao said coldly.

"What I tell is the truth, and I am a person who understands current affairs. Ever since the King of the World betrothed the Golden Saint to the King of Wu, I have understood my status and have no other thoughts."

"What's your status?"

"The maid next to the Golden Saint."

"Hey, I didn't see you serving me in the past. You also have a maid, and the maid raises the maid. How can I be so rich?"

Feng Juniang stood up and said, "I didn't dare to disturb the Golden Saint before, but now I can..."

"Sit down!" Xue Jinyao shouted.

Feng Juniang immediately sat back on the stool and said the second half of her words, "You can serve the Golden Saint."

"I don't need a maid, and even if I did, I wouldn't need someone like you, Jiao Didi, can you polish swords, guns, and wipe armor?"

"I can make mattresses and quilts, clean the house..."

"Save your energy. I'll find you a place to go, and you'll be gone soon."

"Golden Saint, are you going to drive me away?" Feng Juniang slipped off her stool and knelt on the ground with tears streaming down her face. "Golden Saint, please be kind to me. I really don't want to fight for the King of Wu..."

"Sit down!" Xue Jinyao said angrily, hating people with weak bones.

Feng Juniang reluctantly sat back on the stool, tears still pouring out one after another.

Xue Jinyao also hated the tears, "You don't have to beg me or go to King Wu. I have the final say on this matter. There are only two ways in front of you: one is to let me find a place for you, the other is to ask me to go to you tomorrow morning." The gods came to the world to use you as a sacrifice."

"Sacrifice?"

"My father has always liked you, but my mother stopped him from wanting you. Now that he has ascended to heaven, as a daughter, I don't have anything good to give him, so I have to take you..."

"Where did the Golden Saint arrange for me to go?" Feng Juniang became interested in the first choice.

"Great Master Liu Jiuzhuan is my father's eldest disciple, a disciple of Maitreya Buddha, and the leader of all the magicians in the World Army. Is he worthy of you?"

Feng Juniang was stunned, "It's worthy, but... Liu Jiuzuan is over seventy years old this year, right?"

"No way, only sixty-five."

Feng Juniang smiled bitterly, "Sixty-five is too old. I, I like to be younger..."

"My brother is young. He is three years old this year. Marry him and become my sister-in-law."

"Isn't this... even more inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? As my sister-in-law, you can also be a wet nurse and a maid. King Wu won't have any worries about you anymore. You have the best of all four aspects. It's suitable. It couldn't be more suitable."

Feng Juniang knew in her heart that Xue Jin was jealous and it was almost impossible for her to stay with the King of Wu. She had to say: "It's not that I don't want to get married with the Xue family, but regardless of whether it's true or not, I have the reputation of being a 'Kefu' after all. Wang is the only remaining male member of the Xue family. I don’t dare to marry him, just in case..."

"The old one doesn't want it, and the young one doesn't want it either. What do you want? Do you have to force me to send you to heaven?"

"No, no, I don't want to ascend to heaven. I mean -" Feng Juniang thought for a while and felt that King Wu most likely would not interfere with this nosy matter, and finally told the truth, "If the Golden Saint really wants to arrange a place for me, Then let me choose."

"Choose by yourself? Do you have a ready-made mistress?"

Feng Juniang's face turned red, "What did the Golden Saint say? Although I have married more husbands than others, I have always been a woman, and I have never flirted with anyone. If you don't believe me, you can ask."

"It's okay, why am I asking about this? Tell me, whoever you choose, if I think it's suitable, I'll send it over. If I don't think it's suitable, you can choose again until I'm satisfied."

The arrogance of the Golden Saint was not to be outdone by her mother, Huang Tieniang. Feng Juniang was worried, afraid of this woman, and even more afraid of the knife on the woman's waist. "The Protector General Wu Shigong has always wanted me. If I had to choose one person, I would choose him."

There are several world-protecting generals in the World Army. Xue Jinyao thought for a while, "Who is Wu Shigong? The name sounds familiar."

"In his thirties, he is tall and very strong. Everyone says he can draw ten bows at the same time, so he got such a name."

"Oh, he, I remembered it. Hey, he can pull ten bows, he can really brag. Whose subordinate is he now? I'll tell you."

"Thank you Golden Saint, but no need. Golden Saint just needs to let me go. Wu Shigong will definitely want me."

"How can that be done? If you go alone, others will say that I drove you away. I must accompany you and let Wu Shigong know that I gave you to him."

"General Wu must be grateful to the Golden Saint." Feng Juniang said helplessly, "Wu Wang's side..."

"You don't have to worry about this. Come on, let's set off now."

"Now? Too soon."

"I will marry King Wu on the same day, is it quick?"

"Not happy, not happy at all, my maid..."

"Let her go by herself in the future." Xue Jinyao was impatient and kept urging.

Feng Juniang had no choice but to pack up the soft things, shoulder the burden herself, and go out, looking around, hoping to meet King Wu or to have a better chance.

King Wu went to patrol the city again and was not in the camp at all. Xue Jinyao called a carriage and personally sent Feng Juniang on the way, "Which camp is Wu Shigong in?"

"Beicheng, Golden Saint can just send me to the camp gate."

"I have to see him in person. If you feel bad about it, let's turn around and leave. I'll choose the next one for you."

"The Golden Saint is so kind and kind, I really don't know how to repay her."

Wu Shigong, a subordinate of King Ning, received the notice and came to the gate of the camp. When he heard that Feng Juniang was going to marry him, he was so happy that he jumped up and down in public, overjoyed.

Xue Jinyao frowned and looked at him for a long time, then reluctantly nodded and returned to the camp.

Wu Shigong supported Feng Juniang, "Madam, follow me home. I will divorce my original wife immediately to make room for you."

"Send me to see my godmother." Feng Juniang said coldly. She had a different look in front of the obedient man.

Niu Tiannu didn't expect Feng Juniang to come again. After listening to her story, she couldn't help laughing and said: "This silly girl actually has true feelings. Alas, it's a pity that she trusted someone else. She has said everything about tomorrow's summons. What?"

"Except for using me as a sacrifice, she didn't say anything else. Godmother, is the matter of summoning the gods important? Maybe I can ask again..."

Niu Tiannv shook her head, "No need, it seems that she really listened to me, which is easy to deal with. I originally thought that she was using you to deceive my trust, but she didn't mention summoning the gods, so she was sincere."

Feng Ju Niang was confused, but Niu Tiannv was relieved and could finally act according to her plan.

Xue Jinyao returned to the camp, still not planning to tell the truth to King Wu or anyone else.
