Chapter 235: Help my wife
When Zhang Zhi saw Xiao Ning, the worry that had been hanging in his heart for days finally settled down.
He quickly handed the matter in his hands to his deputy, strode towards Xiao Ning, clasped his fists and said, "General, you are finally back!"
The voice was trembling and excited.
Xiao Ning supported him with one hand and said with a smile: "Why are you so excited? I told you I can come back safely."
"I naturally know that the general will return safely."
As he was speaking, he saw a young man with his hands tied standing next to Xiao Ning. He had dark skin and regular features.
He hesitated and asked, "General, who is this..."
Xiao Ning said: "Zhang Dashu."
Zhang Zhi almost fell down when he heard this. "Who?"
Xiao Ning said: "Zhang Dashu, the leader of the rebel army."
Zhang Zhi: "...You went out and brought back the rebel leader?"
Xiao Ning: "What do you mean by robbing? Don't be so vulgar. I just invited Brother Zhang to come and take a look at our camp."
Zhang Zhi: “…”
Who invites someone with their hands tied?
Zhang Dashu was also speechless.
He raised his bound hands and said, "General Xiao, since you sincerely invited me to be your guest, why don't you untie my hands first?"
Xiao Ning: "No problem, but there is one thing, Brother Zhang, I sincerely invite you to visit, please don't do anything to make me sad, otherwise I will be in a state of panic."
"I believe that Brother Zhang can achieve such great things, so he won't be so depressed as to commit suicide, right?"
Zhang Dashu: "This is natural."
So Xiao Ning pulled out his dagger and with a swipe, the belt that was tied to Zhang Dashu's hand fell to the ground.
Zhang Dashu rubbed his wrist which was red and swollen from being strangled.
Looking at the soldiers training in the training ground, he had already guessed Xiao Ning's motive for bringing him to his base camp.
But he didn't believe that the young master of a noble family would have a compassionate heart.
However, now that we are under someone's roof, it's okay to bow our heads for a while.
Zhang Dashu followed Xiao Ning and continued to tour the place, becoming more and more silent.
This is the difference between these unconventional forces and the regular army.
Zhang Dashu watched and took notes.
I thought he would train his soldiers in the same way when he returned.
"What do you think, Brother Zhang?"
Xiao Ning said.
Zhang Dashu nodded and said, "Very good, they look very impressive. How many years have you been training these soldiers?"
Xiao Ning didn't hide anything from the other party.
"These over here were collected half a year ago, these over here were collected a year ago, and these over here were collected recently. Some of them are from the county where you just went to recruit soldiers."
Zhang Dashu was very surprised. "Are they all new recruits?"
Xiao Ning raised his lips, "Yes, Brother Zhang, do you want to see my veterans?"
Zhang Dashu nodded, then thought of something and said, "It can't be the 5,000 people you mentioned earlier."
Xiao Ning said, "I have been leading those five thousand men for three years. When they were in Shengjing City, they were trained according to my methods. Today, I will bring Brother Zhang to see them."
Zhang Dashu: “…”
If three years is considered a veteran, then are his brothers who have been with him for ten years considered very old veterans?
But having said that, General Xiao was still a very capable man. He was strict in military discipline and there was harmony throughout the barracks.
Is this the strength of a child from an aristocratic family?
He can train soldiers, manage the army, and win people's hearts.
Anyway, he was almost moved by her sincere attitude.
They are now enemies, but she kidnapped him so openly just to let him visit her camp.
Don’t even mention that this Xiao guy wants to subdue him.
In fact, he also wanted to conquer this guy named Xiao.
So, on the way to Jinzhou City, Zhang Dashu asked Xiao Ning, "You are so reckless in serving the court. Aren't you afraid that your achievements will be so great that you will be punished by death?"
Xiao Ning didn't hide anything from Zhang Dashu: "Brother Zhang, do you know the late emperor?"
Zhang Dashu was stunned for a moment, not knowing why she suddenly brought up the late emperor, but he nodded anyway: "I've heard a little bit. The older generation all said he was a good emperor."
Xiao Ning said, "The previous emperor, in order to implement the imperial examination system, suppressed the power of the aristocratic families. He was retaliated by the aristocratic families and committed suicide in the palace. And my father... the General Zhenbei who dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu, who kept them from attacking for more than a decade, was anxious to return to the capital to protect the emperor, but was plotted against and killed in Mobei."
"My wife, Princess Duanhui, is the only daughter of the late emperor."
"I foolishly believe that when my achievements become too great for the Lord, I should support my wife and make her his successor."
Zhang Dashu's eyes widened when he heard this and he looked at Xiao Ning in disbelief.
It took a while to digest this sentence.
"What did you say……"
"You want to make a woman... emperor?"
Xiao Ning chuckled when he heard this: "Brother Zhang, don't you think our era needs a female emperor to help women all over the world stand up straight?"
Zhang Dashu swallowed hard.
He still looked at Xiao Ning in shock, as if he couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of a young master from a noble family.
"Don't you want to be the emperor yourself?"
Xiao Ning narrowed his eyes and looked ahead, then smiled and said, "Compared to the court, I am more suited to the battlefield."
"If Her Royal Highness is fortunate enough to ascend the throne in the future, I will volunteer to guard the border for her, allowing her to focus on maintaining peace at home."
Hearing this, Zhang Dashu suddenly laughed out of place. "You and your spouse are separated. Aren't you afraid that she will find another man behind your back?"
Xiao Ning's heart stagnated slightly when he heard this, then he lowered his eyes and said calmly: "This is her freedom."
And even if she stayed in the capital, she could not give the princess the happiness she wanted.
Then let us be a pair of king and minister and work hard for the unity of the world.
fine.
It's really good.
Zhang Dashu looked at Xiao Ning.
Now I really admire her.
Because no man wants to be cuckolded, she actually said that it is a wife's freedom to find another man or not.
"General Xiao is truly magnanimous."
Xiao Ning waved his hand like he was chasing away a fly, "Go away, you old bachelor, you're making fun of me."
Zhang Dashu: “…”
The two of them were silent for the rest of the journey.
Xiao Ning felt depressed because of what Zhang Dashu said and thought about her future with the princess.
Zhang Dashu was thinking about what Xiao Ning had just said.
Xiao Ning said that this era needs a female emperor to help women all over the world stand up straight.
Zhang Dashu thought, if he could really make a woman the emperor.
Can it really improve the status of women in the world...
Do those men no longer have the right to abuse, beat, or sell their wives and daughters?
Wouldn't that mean there would be fewer miserable women like his mother and sister in this world...
Thinking of his mother and sister, Zhang Dashu, a man as strong as a mountain, couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes.
That was his lifelong pain.
Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I regret why I didn’t kill that beast earlier.
Even if he were to be boiled in oil after death, he would not be afraid!
He felt that just based on Xiao Ning's words, he wanted to follow her.
But there's no guarantee that she wasn't saying this to coax him.
After they had used him up and gathered his troops, they killed him with a single blow.
After all, people from these aristocratic families are always cunning and sweet-looking but cruel at heart.
Therefore, Zhang Dashu did not express his willingness to cooperate with Xiao Ning.
He followed Xiao Ning calmly and entered Jinzhou City.
