Chapter 244 I Want to Go
Zong Yantang felt quite indignant after hearing what his mother said.
"My skills are no worse than my elder and second brothers. If I hadn't been born a girl, I would have followed my father into battle and killed the enemy. There would be no need for me to pretend to be a lady in the capital."
Madam Zong's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Do you want to be like Ning Fengluan? You only learned a little bit of spearmanship and then went to the battlefield, which would only be a burden to others."
Zong Yantang frowned, "Mother, how can you compare me with her? I've worked hard since I was young. Unlike her, she only cares about practicing moves just to look good."
Then he looked at Ji Changqing and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll show you my spear skills. I'm a hundred times better than Ning Fengluan."
Madam Zong glared at her fiercely.
Don't bring up things that are not related to the topic.
At the beginning, Ji Changfeng was almost killed by Ning Fengluan on the battlefield - although Ji Changfeng just took the opportunity to fake his death, Ning Fengluan's private entry into the battlefield did violate taboos and cause trouble.
Not only did this girl mention Ning Fengluan, she also wanted to show off her sword in front of Guan Gong?
Really...
She was having a migraine attack.
Ji Changqing didn't take it as an offense, and said with interest: "Okay, I'll wait and see."
Upon hearing this, Zong Yantang immediately moved to the courtyard. With a flip of his wrist, the spear shot out like a silver dragon emerging from the water. The tip of the spear pierced the air with a clang, and leaves fell in an instant.
Feng Qingsui looked at her heroic figure and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"You can't judge a person by his appearance."
She said to Madam Zong.
"Cousin Tang looks quiet and beautiful, but her marksmanship is powerful and majestic, like a thunderbolt."
Madam Zong sighed softly, "She really put in a lot of effort and even learned the formation. What a pity..."
There was no precedent of women joining the army in Daxi, so even if Yantang wanted to go to the battlefield again, it would be of no avail.
Feng Qingsui felt that rules were made by people, and just because they didn't exist in the past didn't mean they wouldn't exist in the future.
There had been no female doctors going to provide disaster relief before, but didn’t she go anyway?
She took two steps to the right, approached Ji Changqing, and whispered, "Are you short of soldiers in your army? Why not give Cousin Tang a chance?"
Ji Changqing replied, "Yes. But...my aunt may not agree."
Zong Yantang has reached the age of marriage, and Madam Zong probably hopes that she can find a suitable husband and live a peaceful life.
Feng Qingsui smiled and said, "Let them decide for themselves."
The gun shadow suddenly retracted, Zong Yantang raised his head and raised his eyebrows, and asked with a bright look: "How is it?"
"good."
Ji Changqing commented.
"It is indeed slightly better than your two brothers."
He then tested her military tactics.
Zong Yantang answered very clearly.
After hearing this, Ji Changqing said to her, "Among the five thousand soldiers I brought back from Lega, there are three or four hundred women. They want to stay and serve in the army, but they don't have enough strength. I'd like to find someone to lead them. Would you be willing?"
"If you also wish to stay in the army and perform well, you may be able to lead them in the future."
Zong Yantang's eyes suddenly lit up.
He immediately looked towards Madam Zong and said, "Mom, I want to go!"
Madam Zong Da: “…”
What's going on with this nephew-in-law?
Not satisfied with kidnapping her niece, he now wants to kidnap her own daughter?
Zong Yantang put his spear aside, walked to her side, took her arm, and said coquettishly, "Mom, will you agree? I have nothing to do at home anyway, why don't I go to the military camp and take a look around? Maybe after three or five days, I'll get impatient."
Mrs. Zong: Haha.
When she was learning to shoot, she was also deceived in the same way: "Mom, it is better to let go than to stop me. I learned to turn around after suffering the consequences."
What's the result?
Just like a river flowing into the sea, it never comes back.
She said angrily, "Let's talk about it later. Don't take advantage of your cousin's husband's good manners and ask for too much."
Zong Yantang: (.︿.)
Ji Changqing smiled and said, "There's no rush for this matter. Auntie and Cousin Tang can take their time to think about it."
Madam Zong Da showed gratitude: "Thank you for your trouble."
Feng Qingsui chatted with them for a few words and then asked Zong Hebai: "Fourth Uncle should be awake now, right? I'll go check on him."
"I just woke up." Madam Zong replied, "Let's go together."
Zong Hebai's nerves were damaged by the poison. Although he woke up, he was still dizzy, his face was numb, and his vision was blurry.
Just after drinking the medicine, the servant announced that the old lady, cousin and regent had arrived.
He was stunned.
Cousin?
Which cousin?
When Feng Qingsui walked to the bedside, he could barely see her appearance and realized that the "cousin" he was talking about was her.
"When did you recognize your relatives?"
He tried his best to speak out.
Feng Qingsui chuckled and said, "Last night, you were unconscious, and your grandmother, eldest aunt, and second aunt were all here to watch over you. After giving you the antidote, they got bored and met your eldest aunt and second aunt."
Zong Hebai: "..."
Was he poisoned to facilitate this?
"It's better to admit it."
He said in a hoarse voice.
He glanced at Ji Changqing calmly.
This way, he wouldn't think she was an orphan with no one to rely on and have other thoughts about her.
Feng Qingsui took his pulse, wrote out a new prescription, gave it to the servant to boil the medicine, and then asked him about his poisoning.
"Why did Fourth Uncle get poisoned by this rare and bizarre poison from the Western Regions? If I hadn't come across it by chance, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been enough time to prepare the antidote."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zong Hebai's face darkened.
"It was a pure misfortune."
He gritted his teeth.
He immediately talked about how he was poisoned.
"I made an appointment with a friend to have tea at Tianxianglou. While I was waiting in the private room, a woman holding a pipa came in. She said she had just come to the teahouse to perform and invited me to listen for free..."
Then the woman began to sing and play by herself.
She played the pipa very well and the sound was beautiful, so he didn't chase her away immediately.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the song was over, two assassins broke in through the window and shot arrows. The woman immediately dropped her pipa and hid under the table.
He was a beat too slow and was hit by an arrow without warning.
After the guards rushed in to rescue them, the two assassins were defeated and committed suicide by biting the poison sac in their mouths.
The woman kept apologizing, and he only had time to instruct the guards to arrest the woman before he fainted.
"...After I woke up just now, I asked someone to check at Tianxiang Tower. That woman is definitely not a singing girl there. The pipa actually belonged to a singing girl there. She had traded it for a ruby earring."
He said with a dark face.
Apparently, the woman broke into Tianxiang Tower and pretended to be a singer, trying to avoid the two assassins.
She chose to hide in his private room, causing him to suffer an unexpected disaster.
Feng Qingsui: “…”
It's really bad luck.
"That girl is probably not an ordinary person." She laughed, "Fourth Uncle keeps her, so you have to be careful."
Zong Hebai nodded.
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
After Zong Hebai drank the medicine brought by the servant, he fell asleep.
Madam Zong invited Feng Qingsui and Ji Changqing to have dinner at her house. After the meal, Ji Changqing said, "I'll wait for you outside the door" and left.
Leave Feng Qingsui to chat privately with the Zong family.
Madam Zong watched him leave and said to Feng Qingsui, "Changfeng treats you well."
Feng Qingsui nodded: "It's okay for now."
Madam Zong smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, my birthday will be held in a hundred days. How about holding a family recognition banquet at that time?"
