Chapter 55: No Choice
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, thinking about the dangers of the imperial court and Zhou Shengchen's always brave and decisive judgment, and he made a judgment in his heart: Putting aside everything else, it is just that King Xiao Nanchen's wisdom is an unparalleled genius.
Needless to say, Jiao Feng's beloved wife is Hong Xiaoyu, a general who is absolutely loyal to Zhou Shengchen. Even if Yu Feng does not side with Zhou Shengchen now, when someone is liquidated by some force in the future, the Yu family will definitely be wiped out.
Without having to think too much, he returned the letter to Xiao Yan. Nao Feng sternly bowed his hands and said, "Here!"
The two had reached an agreement, and Xiao Yan immediately hosted the wedding, and held a wedding ceremony for Yu Feng and Hong Xiaoyu in Wang Jun's camp.
To say it was simple was because there were no Piao Guang or Zhou Shengchen in the seats of the officiants. But if you want to talk about the excitement, even Jiao Feng's clansman Jiao Shou has also arrived. The junior brothers and sisters at Hong Xiaoyu's side, such as Zhou Tianxing, Feng Qiao, etc., gathered together enthusiastically.
Everything was carried out according to formal etiquette. After Yang Feng and Hong Xiaoyu paid homage to Yang Guang in Zhongzhou and Zhou Shengchen in Jiangling, they received continuous blessings from everyone. After the banquet ended, the two returned to the "wedding room" - a separate tent and sat side by side.
The decoration inside the tent is rather simple, but it is full of red silk and pink ribbons, giving it a cheerful atmosphere. Feng Feng sat there for a long time, then turned around and saluted: "Feng has always admired the general, and even now, he still can't believe that this is the truth."
At this moment, Hong Xiaoyu was radiating all the charm of a woman, with a blush on his face and a lovely red lip. Seeing that he was still very polite, she laughed softly and said: "My rank in the army is higher than that of the general, but I don't know what I am doing at home."
"Whether in the army or at home, Feng can only obey the general's command without any complaints." Feng Zai quickly saluted.
With a sneer, Hong Xiaoyu looked at him and said, "Do you dare?"
"Of course I don't dare to disobey General." Jiaofeng bowed his head and bowed.
"That's exactly what it should be." Hong Xiaoyu saw that he kept praying, but he was already impatient. Reaching out to hold his hand, she whispered again: "Although I am reckless, I am still a woman. My husband is considerate, but I can only obey."
Miao Feng's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate: Hong Xiaoyu, you are indeed ready for battle, and you are very beautiful sitting next to you. If I don't love you, wouldn't it be a big sin on my part?
Gathering up all his courage, Yufeng tried to pull her. Originally worried that she would be embarrassed, he only felt filled with softness and fragrance.
After the lively wedding, Yufeng and Hong Xiaoyu immediately received a formal order from Xiao Yan and secretly sent out troops to the north bank of the Yangtze River in batches.
Their soldiers and horses moved on the pretext of patrolling. Xiao Yan immediately separated the king's army and stationed them at different opposite positions in Jinling on the south bank, waiting to act as suspects or take advantage of the situation to provide assists.
The arrangements here are in place, and there is new progress on King Xiao Nanchen's side. After crossing the river, Yang Shao took Liu Changshan and headed to Jiangling City with Yang Shiyi hostage, followed by Zhou Shengchen from a distance.
After the group of people sneaked into the city, Yang Shao saw Zhou Shengchen behind him being thrown away. He quickly left Nao Shiyi behind and pulled Liu Changshan into an alley.
The two of them didn't speak for a while and walked in circles for a long time. Yang Shao stopped and stood in front of Liu Changshan.
"Oh, thank you General Yang Shao for saving your life." Liu Changshan saw him staring at him and said after thinking about it. Although he was talking, Liu Changshan just raised his arm slightly as a gesture of thanks.
But before he lowered his arm, he saw Yang Shao's wrist flick. Immediately, a gleaming knife was held at his throat.
"Uh, what do you mean?!" Liu Changshan asked hurriedly, both shocked and horrified.
Yang Shao smiled coldly: "You have done so many evil things and dare to rebel against the world. I really cannot tolerate you!"
"You, then why did you take me thousands of miles to come to Nanxiao?! And you also said it was to repay my kindness for supporting you in the first place?" Liu Changshan said quickly. His voice trembled because of the fear in his heart.
Yang Shao nodded, and then said: "I do want to spare your life, but you don't have to lead troops anymore. Give me your military talisman!"
Although Liu Changshan was defeated, he still carried the military talisman with him, hoping to make a comeback in the future. But now his life was about to be in danger, and he had no time to think about the future.
Although his movements were slow and hesitant, he still took off the weapon talisman from his waist. Just as he was about to hand it to Yang Shao, he felt a figure beside him, and the soldier talisman disappeared.
Liu Changshan and Yang Shao were surprised. They quickly turned their heads to look, and were immediately stunned: in front of them, stood Zhou Shengchen with a gloomy face, but holding Liu Changshan's military talisman in his hand!
After putting away the military talisman, Zhou Shengchen said slowly: "Liu Changshan, let's go."
"I, I don't dare." Liu Changshan, who naturally knew his extraordinary martial arts skills and was worried about being killed by him from behind, said knowingly.
"You indeed deserve to die, but I don't want to kill you now." Zhou Shengchen said indifferently, "As long as you go and seek refuge with Southern Xiao Emperor Xiao Xu, he may still consider you as a member of the Northern Chen royal family. Not only will you If I take you in, I will give you a real official position."
Liu Changshan couldn't believe his ears and wanted to run away, but he still couldn't be dragged away by his feet.
"If you don't leave, I will kill you immediately!" Zhou Shengchen said coldly. Liu Changshan came to his senses, cupped his hands, and left quickly.
Yang Shao next to him breathed secretly and put the knife in his hand into the scabbard on his waist.
Zhou Shengchen turned to look at him: "You didn't originally want to kill him, right?"
Sighing, Yang Shao replied: "Yes. I thought he had indeed recommended me, and I got the position of military attache from an ordinary soldier."
After that, he bowed and saluted again: "I know that even if I die, I will never be able to repay Your Highness's kindness."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Shengchen took over and said indifferently: "Do you want to seize military power and then gradually become a real general?"
Yang Shao did have this intention, and wanted to use this method to gain the attention of other generals and princes in the vassal town. Moreover, at this time, he knew that he had offended King Xiao Nanchen, so naturally he did not dare to join his army.
Other well-known generals in the vassal towns include Gao Yuchao, King of Dingbei, but Yang Shao does not dare to go because King Dingbei has a close friendship with the regent currently standing in front of him, King Zhou Shengchen of Xiaonanchen. .
Moreover, Gao Yuchao, the king of Dingbei, has an even hotter temper. Yang Shao knew that even if King Xiao Nanchen could forgive him, he would definitely not survive if he surrendered to Gao Yuchao.
With such thoughts, he could only make up his mind to vote for Jin Rong, the governor of Taiyuan County.
He was secretly thinking about his thoughts, but Zhou Shengchen was already impatient: "You must want to vote for Jin Rong of Taiyuan County?"
Gritting his teeth, Yang Shao fell to the ground and said: "I have nowhere to go, and I don't dare to turn to His Highness. I'm just afraid that even if Your Highness won't punish me, I will definitely be killed by your general. So, I do I think Jin Rong, the governor of Taiyuan County, has a strong army. If I go to him, I might be able to be reused!"
