"What do you want me for?"
Xiong Kai didn't care about Zhu Yixuan's indifference at all, and just said expressionlessly: "Captain Bai, you shouldn't be too soft-hearted. If you could be as decisive as Shen Yi, you could be on equal footing with Shen Yi now, instead of being suppressed by him."
Zhu Yixuan sneered, "Xiong Kai, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Xiong Kai slowly raised his eyelids and looked at him, "Captain Bai, I am just stating a fact. Now I am a cripple, and it is impossible for me to take revenge, but I don't want to see Shen Yi continue to be so glorious. In my opinion, you are of noble birth and the eldest son of the Zhu family. Shen Yi is just an unlucky crosser. Why should he be the little governor? Are you really willing to be suppressed by him?"
Zhu Yixuan crossed his legs, propped up his chin and looked at Xiong Kai in front of him, revealing a meaningful smile, "Xiong Kai, don't play tricks on me, tell me, what do you want to do?"
Xiong Kai raised his head suddenly, with strong hatred in his eyes, "I can be a hidden arrow in Bai Chang's hand and do things for Bai Chang. As long as Bai Chang can vent my anger for me in the future, I don't want Shen Yi's life, as long as he is the same as me!"
Death is not the most painful thing, living an incomplete life is the torment. He also wants Shen Yi to have a taste of the feeling of being despised and scorned by others!
Zhu Yixuan was not angry at Xiong Kai's words. After weighing the pros and cons, he smiled, stood up and said kindly: "I don't know what feud you have with Shen Yi, and I don't intend to interfere in your affairs, but I can give you a chance to turn things around. As long as I stand out in the future, you will definitely benefit from it.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. There is nothing in this world that money can't solve, and what I have the most is money. What do you think?"
Xiong Kai was not very satisfied with Zhu Yixuan's answer, but there was one thing that Zhu Yixuan touched his heart. He needed money, a lot of money, and now only money could make up for his lost self-esteem.
"Okay! Deal!"
After the two of them made the agreement, Xiong Kai quickly left the battalion commander's place, as if he had never appeared.
Before the autumn harvest, the Longxia Kingdom took the initiative to provoke again.
General Cen Yingfan could no longer tolerate this and ordered a massive attack.
On the battlefield, Xiong Kai kept staring at Chen Yi, watching him being invincible, the hatred in his heart was like a raging fire that burned more and more fiercely. On the other hand, Zhu Yixuan was tripped up because of Bai Feng.
Xiong Kai was so angry that he yelled, "Captain Zhu, love affairs will only become a stumbling block to success, ignore them!"
Bai Feng was so scared that he threw himself into Zhu Yixuan's arms and yelled at Xiong, "You bastard, I'll kill you first when I get back!"
"Enough! Get out of the way!" Zhu Yixuan yelled, and was about to push Bai Feng away angrily.
He caught a glimpse of an arrow flying towards him, but it was too late for him to dodge, so he could only subconsciously pull Bai Feng over.
With a "bang", blood splattered. The smug smile on Bai Feng's lips had not yet disappeared, but he fell down with his eyes wide open.
Zhu Yixuan was also stunned.
Xiong Kai yelled, "Captain Zhu, be careful!"
Zhu Yixuan reacted and without thinking too much, he quickly responded and killed the enemy.
The battle lasted a day and a night before it ended.
The surviving soldiers returned to the barracks.
Zhu Yixuan looked at the cold surroundings and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
In the past, whenever he left the battlefield, Bai Feng would always follow him closely, complaining about this and that, and giving him some bad advice that was not worthy of being mentioned.
He only felt annoyed before, but now he missed her inexplicably, and his heart trembled slightly.
Xiong Kai came to his side quietly and said in a low voice: "Bai Feng is dead. His body was taken away by the officials and will be sent back to Zhaohua County in two days. Zhu Baichang will be able to rise to prominence in the future without any stumbling blocks."
"Shut up!" Zhu Yixuan turned around fiercely, gritting his teeth, and staring at Xiong Kai.
Xiong Kai lowered his eyes and continued to persuade: "Captain Bai, Bai Feng's death was an accident. Please accept my condolences. I heard that Shen Yi has made another contribution today. Deputy General Pan strongly recommended him as the Grand Commander. If it really happens, Captain Bai will have to rely on others in the future.
Captain, you don't have much time left. If you let Chen Yi continue to make meritorious contributions, who in Zhaohua County will remember you in the future?"
Zhu Yixuan stood up suddenly and walked quickly into the tent.
Xiong Kai looked at his back, curled the corners of his mouth, and felt a little regretful in his heart. The next time he could fight would have to wait until after the autumn harvest. He didn't know if Zhu Yixuan could seize this last chance.
After thinking about it, he raised his foot and followed Zhu Yixuan's steps.
Song Yongnian watched this scene coldly from a distance, and when he saw Xiong drive away, he immediately went back to inform Shen Yi.
"Brother Shen, when Bai Feng died, I thought Zhu Yixuan would be very sad, and I wanted to go over and take a look for you, but I didn't expect that guy to be so close to Xiong Kaisou, and the two of them were whispering to each other. I think Zhu Yixuan might have betrayed me."
Shen Yi put away the long sword that he had just cleaned and said seriously: "Xiong Kai was originally a man under Zhu Yixuan. There is nothing strange about the two of them talking together. I just didn't expect Bai Feng to die like this."
Song Yongnian always thought that it was not right for Zhu Yixuan and Xiong Kai to walk together. Seeing that Shen Yi did not think in that direction, he stopped talking, but privately told Shen Dagou and Ye An to be vigilant.
Shen Yi had very good hearing, and he felt helpless about these brothers who were mumbling behind his back. He smiled helplessly and shook his head, saying, "It's almost autumn harvest time. The weather is bad this year, and I don't know if it will affect the harvest."
Everyone who was talking stopped talking and said, "Brother Shen, how about we ask the officials to help pass the message back?"
Shen Yi wanted to, but Liu Jianzhang had not returned since he left the military camp in the spring. He guessed that he had left halfway, and he didn't know if he would come again this year.
He had used all the jade and money that Su Tai had sent her to build relationships. Now, although he was not penniless, he could not afford to pay anyone to do things for him.
"Forget it, let's wait and see, or I can ask Zhu Yixuan. He has been in contact with Zhaohua County and should know more than me." Shen Yi pondered.
When Song Yongnian and the others heard this, they all tried to stop them, "Forget it, forget it. We are so far away anyway. Even if we knew about the situation at home, we can't help. It's better not to know so that we don't have to worry."
After everyone's persuasion, Shen Yi gave up the idea of looking for Zhu Yixuan, but he was still thinking about her in his heart.
Su Tai, who he was concerned about, was also paying attention to the situation in the field at this time.
Because the weather was bad, Su Tai went to the fields himself to try harvesting wheat when the government ordered it to be harvested.
It took five days of hard work to harvest all the wheat in the field. After a careful count, I was shocked. In previous years, I could yield 1,000 kilograms of wheat per acre of land, but this year I only yielded less than 800 kilograms, and the quality was not good either.
The village chief went to the town with a serious face to report the news, and came back to inform the whole village that the grain tax would increase again this year.
The villagers gathered at the entrance of the village and talked about it. (End of this chapter)
