Chapter 239: Brother Zhang, do you believe me now?
Zhang Dashu had saved a scholar a few years ago. The scholar stayed in the village for some time to recuperate from his injuries. Zhang Dashu learned a lot of words and principles.
When the scholar left, he left him a few books, saying that reading makes people wise and asked him to read more when he has nothing to do.
Zhang Dashu was a man who listened to advice. He read every day and the few books left by the scholar were all torn to pieces by him.
Later, when they robbed the rich to help the poor, he would intentionally take a few books back to the village.
Not only did he read it, he also asked everyone in the village to read it.
After fighting and traveling around for years, he has seen a wider world, read more books, and naturally knows more.
The sons of noble families and the common people...
Like clouds and mud.
The class divide is deeper than the chasm between the rich and the poor.
"I don't believe that the sons of aristocratic families would overthrow the imperial court and squeeze the power of the aristocratic families just to seek the welfare of the common people."
"Letting me trust you is equivalent to letting me hand my life over to you personally."
"General Xiao, I am unwilling to gamble my life and the lives of my brothers on your conscience."
Zhang Dashu stared into Xiao Ning's eyes.
The fact that he could say these words to her showed that he had been shaken.
Xiao Ning raised his lips and lowered his voice: "What if I am not from a noble family?"
The originally clear boy's voice turned into a soft female voice.
It sounds very beautiful.
Zhang Dashu frowned and looked at her, "Why are you suddenly doing this? It sounds creepy..."
It gave him goosebumps.
Xiao Ning: “…”
No, brother, I’ve exposed my vital points to you.
You actually told me this...
Xiao Ning was speechless and said, "Doesn't my voice sound feminine enough?"
Zhang Dashu: "Yeah, what are you trying to do by suddenly coming here?"
Do you want to scare him to death so you can inherit his army?
Xiao Ning: “…”
It was such an obviously female voice, but he still asked her what she wanted to do.
What else could she want to do? She couldn't possibly want to show him a talent.
Xiao Ning looked at him speechlessly.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Didn't you say you were unwilling to put your life in my hands and gamble on my conscience?"
"But I'm willing to bet on your conscience."
"So, I will hand my life over to you first, so you can rest assured."
It was still that soft female voice.
It sounds pretty good.
But when Xiao Ning said it, it sounded very irritating to Zhang Dashu.
"...General Xiao, let's just talk business. It's pointless for you to act like a woman."
Zhang Dashu had heard ventriloquism in a restaurant in the county town before.
That guy, let alone women, can even imitate the sounds of various animals very vividly.
Therefore, he still didn't believe that Xiao Ning was a woman.
And in his opinion, women are mostly submissive and need to be protected.
This guy named Xiao is more brave than a female demon.
It is better to believe that Xiao Ning is a woman than to believe that he himself is a woman.
Seeing that Zhang Dashu remained unmoved no matter how much Xiao Ning said, he simply let him see it with his own eyes.
Seeing that Xiao Ning didn't say anything, Zhang Dashu suddenly started to take off his belt.
He jumped up in shock and took a few steps back.
"You, you, you...what are you doing! I, I'm telling you, I'm different from the men from aristocratic families like you. I'm not into homosexuality!"
Zhang Dashu naturally thought that Xiao Ning wanted to use his male beauty to seduce him.
Xiao Ning: “…”
Silently, she quickened the pace of undressing.
Soon, the belt fell to the ground and she pulled the top down to her shoulders.
The exposed waist and abdomen are white and well-proportioned, with thin muscles covering the abdomen, and a few pink scars can be vaguely seen.
Further up, there is a white cloth wrapped around it, slightly raised.
At the end of the white cloth, a ravine is faintly visible.
There is no doubt that what appeared before Zhang Dashu's eyes was indeed a woman's body.
Zhang Dashu stared at Xiao Ning's body for a few seconds. Then he reacted, his face flushed red, and he turned his head away hurriedly.
Xiao Ning asked, "Brother Zhang, do you believe me now?"
Zhang Dashu still couldn't believe it.
Such a powerful general is a woman?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xiao Ning said helplessly, "Brother Zhang, you don't want me to take off this chest wrap, do you?"
Zhang Dashu glanced at Xiao Ning again and turned his head away hurriedly.
"I believe it, I believe it. Put on your clothes first..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning put on his clothes and tied his belt.
"Brother Zhang, I'm fine now. You can come back now."
Zhang Dashu turned around, glanced at Xiao Ning, and then hurriedly looked away.
Even seeing it with my own eyes, it was hard to believe.
"How can you... be a woman?"
Xiao Ning: "...My parents gave birth to me, there's nothing I can do about it."
Zhang Dashu: "Then why are you pretending to be a man?"
Xiao Ning: "This involves the private affairs of the aristocratic family. If Brother Zhang is interested, it's okay for me to talk to him about it."
Zhang Dashu: “…”
I really can't say I'm not interested in good conscience.
Seeing that Zhang Dashu was interested, Xiao Ning did not hide anything.
"I told Brother Zhang before that my father is the General Zhenbei."
"General Zhenbei is the second son of the Marquis of Jingyuan. He was the late emperor's study companion when he was young. After the late emperor ascended the throne, he wanted to weaken the power of the aristocratic families. General Zhenbei was the first to support him, and this even made his family unhappy."
"After all, the Xiao family has gone through a hundred years and has some foundation. At that time, my grandfather was in his prime, and my father was so outstanding. The Xiao family was in its prime."
"Later, the Xiongnu invaded, and General Zhenbei led the army under the emperor's order, and he almost crushed the Xiongnu royal court."
"Then the noble families took advantage of General Zhenbei's absence at the border and launched a counterattack, forcing the late emperor to death and supporting the current emperor to succeed to the throne."
"Then a widely circulated version emerged: General Zhenbei sacrificed his life for his country and died in Mobei."
"General Zhenbei died in battle. All the honors and rewards he deserved were naturally given to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion."
"At that time, my mother was pregnant and about to give birth."
"When the child was born, it was a girl, but my mother didn't want the credit my father had worked so hard to earn to go to others, so she lied and said I was a boy."
"Grandfather knew he felt guilty towards our Second Branch, so he defied all odds and petitioned for me to be crowned Crown Prince. To this day, I've been disguised as a man for twenty-one years."
Zhang Dashu: "...No wonder you are so natural, you can't tell you are a woman at all."
Xiao Ning: “…”
This is a compliment to her.
Or scold her?
The original owner pretended to be a man for eighteen years.
She only pretended to be a man for three years.
"Speaking of which, in this world, it's more comfortable to be a man."
"If she hadn't disguised herself as a man, she would have been married off long ago, and she might have had several children by now."
"How could it be possible that I could be fighting in the battlefield, making great achievements, and at the same time sitting here with Brother Zhang, having such a pleasant conversation?"
Hearing this, Zhang Dashu thought of his mother and sister and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, the world is always more tolerant towards men."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning said disdainfully, "That's because the rules are made by men. If the one in power were a woman, the world would naturally be much more tolerant towards women."
After saying that, he looked straight into Zhang Dashu's eyes.
"So, Brother Zhang, are you willing to join forces with me now?"
