Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The gray houses in Jinyang are completely different from those in Tokyo and Yangzhou. Most of them are on the top of hard hills...they look like the eaves are particularly narrow. Probably because of the less rainy and windy climate in Hedong.

In Hongying's eyes, even if this place was the mansion of a famous general in the Northern Han Dynasty, the environment was very poor, but she didn't care. A woman naturally likes an elegant or luxurious environment, but she has seen so many red warblers that she doesn't particularly care about such things; in contrast, what makes her unbearable in Tokyo is boredom. A woman with a broken foot stays in the house all day, the boredom is very difficult.

This time, she came to Beihan voluntarily, and no one forced her. The Khitan people gave her a cruel nightmare and made her like this, of course she has hatred in her heart; but hatred is not the whole reason why she is willing to come to Beihan, there is another reason that she simply wants to come, that is, being in Tokyo is too boring.

Hong Ying stayed in the wing room for her for a while, then got up and found a piece of cloth, and slowly cleaned the room...Of course she has no interest in cleaning the room at all. If she likes to do this, why should she learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?

She did these virtuous things because Yang Ye was coming soon.

If Yang Ye has no interest in him, is he willing to give up a good horse worth two hundred guan? Hong Ying has never been a prostitute, but as a concubine, it is not that she has never seen a man, and she understands a man's mind very well. A person like Yang Ye obviously has the style of an official's family and a vanity fair, and he is very cautious; but he is young, strong, and hot-blooded, so it is generally impossible for him to not have enthusiasm for beauties.

If Hongying was asked to do this kind of table cleaning work in Chen Jiali's house, she would feel very boring, because there were servants doing it. But now, she doesn't feel bored, and she is very patient because there is expectation.

Everyone is acting, but sometimes acting is deliberately arranged, just like meeting Yang Ye by chance. It was a pre-prepared play, but the play was really real... If Hong Ying hadn't seen it personally, she would have never heard of this method; usually secret works, or beauty tricks, are sent directly, how could they be so meticulous? Anyway, Hong Ying had never seen it before, and I am afraid Yang Ye would not have thought of it either.

Just because it was too real, Hongying herself got into the play. At the gate of the brothel, she was sold and begged, and suddenly felt that the woman was very sad, and the tears were quite real. Hong Ying sighed, thinking that she would never encounter such a thing, she was a little relieved... Chen Jiali is still very kind to her own people, it is impossible to sell her into a brothel, and this time she is doing things for the emperor, and the emperor cannot take any credit for it.

At this moment, I saw Yang Ye push the door and walk in. Hongying's face was filled with joy, she hurriedly turned around excitedly and shyly, and then lowered her head and made a blessing: "I have met General Yang myself."

Yang Ye said expressionlessly, "Are you used to living here?"

Hongying hurriedly said: "It's a concubine's blessing to be in General Yang's mansion, there is no better place than this."

Yang Ye's face remained calm, but Hongying could feel that he was very useful. For such a person of status, if others admire what he has, they probably won't be unhappy;

Yang Ye said again: "You used to be in a merchant's house, and you had to do this kind of housework?" He especially emphasized the word merchant, even if you are well-clothed and well-fed, you are still a merchant.

The Red Oriole doesn't care about it at all, and of course it won't raise an argument. Immediately he replied softly: "If Alang likes it, I don't have to do it; when he is neglected, I am like a servant. But in General Yang's residence, I am willing to serve you tea and water. I want to do my best to repay your benefactor."

"Hmph." Yang Ye sat down on the chair. The red warbler happily made tea for him again.

Yang Ye sat there, stroking the water surface with the lid of the cup, and said seriously: "I came today to ask about your background."

"Please benefactor, please ask, I will definitely not dare to hide a word."

When Hongying first heard this sentence, she felt a little nervous because she was guilty after all. But soon he was relieved and understood what he meant... In fact, Yang Ye didn't doubt himself at all, but he was anxious to see himself, so he had to find an excuse. Interrogating his identity is a very good excuse for the scene.

This type of man, in Hongying's view, is more down-to-earth, he is not the kind of person who talks sweetly when he sees a beautiful woman he likes; that type of man gets tired of liking it when he likes it, and usually throws it away when he gets bored. Yang Ye is obviously not, there are no outsiders here, he is still so secretive, it seems that he is rarely close to women, and he is a little shy... Yang Ye's shyness is to find an excuse to cover up.

But men like Yang Ye are not reliable, he cares more about his feathers, and women don't hold much importance in his heart either.

It's just that Yang Ye is quite good. He is a kind and compassionate person, so he will help; this is already better than most dignitaries in the world. In fact, how many pragmatic men in this world think that women are important? Unless married, both parties have something in common to bind together. If Hong Ying was an inexperienced young lady, she might still believe her, but she wasn't.

A person like Yang Ye, although the conditions are very good, but what does he have to do with Hongying? He does not belong to Hongying...and he doesn't know how to please women. What people care most about is themselves, even Hong Ying who is of low status; this Yang Ye always wants to show how he has status and how a gentleman he is, but ignores Hong Ying's feelings, how can he win Hong Ying's heart?

Hongying, however, is all about supporting him and making him happy... because she needs Yang Ye now, not because Yang Ye can't let her go.

Yang Ye quickly asked the first question: "Why are your feet disabled?"

Hongying suddenly looked miserable, and sighed: "The owner of my concubine is a merchant from Yangzhou, surnamed Shen. Once I took a merchant gang to Youzhou, but was robbed by the Khitans. I went there several times before, but the business was very big, so the master went there in person, and brought my concubine to wait for the two sisters... My sister was tortured to death by the Khitan people. The concubine was driven to the hot coals for fun by them. Her feet were scalded and almost roasted, and she had to saw off them to survive." She said, shaking her head. , his face turned pale. Because it was not a fabrication, but a real thing, like a nightmare deep in my heart.

After hearing this, Yang Ye had an angry look on his face, apparently he was also dissatisfied with the Khitan people.

Hongying heard from Chen Jiali that although the Northern Han Dynasty was an ally of the Khitan, it wasn't that they were really friendly with the Khitan, they just needed to use each other. In fact, both the imperial court and the people in the Northern Han Dynasty would not like the Liao people.

Hongying was silent for a moment and then said: "After my concubine was redeemed, I couldn't return to Yangzhou. I stayed in Hebei for a while, and then went to Jinyang. Later, because the Shen family lost its owner, it didn't manage well, and the loss in Youzhou was too great, and the foreign debts couldn't be paid off, so they cleaned up all valuable things except the ancestral house and gave them to the creditor. I was in Jinyang, and I was not spared."

After she finished speaking, she began to cry, "This concubine has become like this, and she will be sold to a brothel. I wanted to die..."

Yang Ye was both annoyed and sympathetic, and said, "It's really miserable."

Hong Ying secretly glanced at him, took two steps forward with her crutches on her back, knelt in front of Yang Ye, choked up and said, "Thanks to my benefactor for saving me."

"That's all." Yang Ye said calmly, "It's just a little effort, and doing good deeds is not a bad deed."

Hong Ying whispered: "My concubine was a blessing in disguise. If I had to be sold to such a dirty place, how could I meet General Yang... a gentleman who occupies a high position at a young age, is decent, and shows his talent..."

After hearing this, Yang Ye stretched out his hand to help Hongying: "You are also a poor person, you don't have to be polite, just get up."

Hongying blushed when her arm was touched, she hadn't been in contact with a man for a long time, and of course a man like Yang Ye would not make my little mother disgusted. But he just touched it, then withdrew his hand, and asked solemnly: "By the way, your name is Hong..."

"If you go back to benefactor, my concubine's name is Hongying."

Hongying's feelings are still a bit off, Fang is serious, pretending to have no desires at all, and even can't remember her own name... Hongying knows that her status is low, but with such a feeling, how can she be in the mood for intimacy?

Yang Ye is an upright gentleman, he doesn't look like a woman, he is noble and worthy of respect; but Hong Ying feels that he is very cheap, that feeling...is a kind of intuition or illusion, as if he is very unattractive as a woman, he will be hit; it seems that he is in the business of prostitutes, exchanging himself for other things. Anyway, basically not in the mood at all.

She didn't have any impulse or emotion, so she became very calm, knowing in her heart that she was indeed selling, exchanging her body for something.

She took the initiative to say softly: "I don't even know how to repay my benefactor's great kindness, so I just..."

As soon as she said this, she wanted to stand up, but the artificial foot under her foot was not stable, and she immediately threw herself into Yang Ye's arms, and her warm|soft and fragrant body was attached to Yang Ye's body. Hongying hurriedly said: "Oh! I didn't mean to..."

Yang Ye supported her, and his face was a little red: "Slow down."

Hongying said softly: "I want to get close to General Yang, but I know that you are a gentleman, and I respect and admire you in my heart. It's all because I can't help it... You don't hate my concubine, do you?"

"No, no..." Yang Ye's breathing became short of breath.

Hongying continued to talk, also to dispel his worries: "The concubine was bought by General Yang, whether it's a concubine or a slave, it's just yours. It's only natural for a slave to serve A Lang. I'm very happy to be able to repay General Yang in this way, as long as you don't dislike it."

Yang Ye said: "What do I dislike?"

Hongying lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "I think I'm disabled, I know I'm not good enough..."

In fact, she is just not enough, maybe not very useful in daily life, but she is very pretty in other places, and she is not bad for sleeping.

Hongying has already taken the initiative to do it obviously, but Yang Ye still stands still. She said again: "My feet hurt a little, can General Yang hold me on the bed to rest for a while?"
