Chapter 401 Fourth Brother, Your Little Slave Girl is Pregnant
Eunuch Wang was an old servant in Prince Xuan's mansion. Later, when Prince Xuan was exiled, he came to Jiangnan to manage Zhao Xuan's properties and shops through the efforts of ministers who supported Prince Xuan.
He knew clearly about Yun Zhaoxue and Zhao Xuan's past.
After Su Wan'er miscarried, Zhao Xuan suspected that the women in the harem were having miscarriages one after another because they were not fortunate enough to give birth to his princes. Yun Zhaoxue, on the other hand, was fortunate enough to give birth to two princes at once.
He wanted to take Yun Zhaoxue as his concubine, but unfortunately she was Xiao Xuance's wife. If she were any other minister's wife, he would have simply forcibly taken her into the harem.
Wang Gonggong heard him say it himself.
After Zhao Xuan ascended the throne in Lin'an, he gave him important positions and promoted him to the position of chief eunuch. As a result, Xiao Xuanze became arrogant and thought that he was just like other military generals who could be ridiculed but dared not speak out. He treated his martial arts skills and weapons as decorations.
But he shouldn't have offended Xiao Xuance.
A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Xuance's narrow phoenix eyes. He stood up abruptly and shoved him away, sending him flying with a "bang!"
"Ouch..."
He lost his balance and fell backward. Holding his waist, he watched Xiao Xuance walking towards him and used his hands to support himself on the ground as he moved backward.
Xiao Xuance drew his sword with a clang, and as the sun blazed down, it exploded with a blinding white light.
He gripped his knife, and the murderous aura emanating from him seemed to materialize and press down. "Prince Zhenbei, what do you want to do? You really want to rebel!"
"Men, seize him!"
The soldiers and eunuchs he brought with him haven't even started making a move yet.
Zhu Feng and Zhui Ying had already brought men with knives to their necks. "Don't move! Or you'll die!"
When Eunuch Wang saw that all the men he had brought had been taken into custody, he panicked and invoked Zhao Xuan's name to suppress them: "If you dare to kill me today, the Emperor will certainly not let you off in the future, nor will he let your Xiao family members off."
Xiao Xuance said in a deep voice, "You have taken advantage of the fact that I will not rebel, so you have dared to bully my Xiao family. I will take you down first and bring you back to Lin'an. Then I will confront you before the Emperor and ask him if he really said those words."
"You dare..."
He swung the knife down.
Eunuch Wang was so frightened that he closed his eyes, his legs trembled, and he screamed, "Ah!"
At the same time, a wet and hot patch appeared in his crotch, and he was so scared that he peed himself.
Lu Xiao deliberately mocked him loudly, "You're scared to death, Eunuch Wang is scared to death! Eunuch Wang is at least over fifty years old, yet you're not even as good as a three-year-old."
The people around them burst into laughter, "Hahaha!!!"
Eunuch Wang's face turned pale, then red. "You...you just wait! When I see the Emperor, I'll definitely complain about you all to him, ugh..."
Lu Xiao took off his smelly socks and stuffed them into his mouth, then tied him up and took him away.
Gu Huai asked worriedly, "Marshal, are we really not going to withdraw our troops?"
Defying the imperial edict by refusing to withdraw troops and even kidnapping Eunuch Wang is tantamount to opposing the court; this is rebellion! It all happened so suddenly; they were completely unprepared.
Or did he have this planned all along?
Xiao Xuance ordered, "All soldiers, listen to my command! Withdraw your troops in five days and return to Baozhou!"
Lu Xiao and the others shouted anxiously, "Marshal..."
They've been preparing for so long, and now they're being asked to withdraw their troops? They're really unwilling to accept it.
Gu Huai interrupted him, saying, "Alright, the marshal is even less willing to withdraw the troops than we are. Everyone, stop making things difficult for the marshal. The imperial edict has been issued; it's not something the marshal can decide alone."
Youzhou.
Wanyan Zonglie received a message from his spies planted in the enemy camp.
Unsure whether he had truly withdrawn his troops, they became even more cautious, putting the soldiers defending the city on high alert.
When Wanyan Zongqin and his men received the news, they were completely different from Wanyan Zonglie's cautious attitude. They felt that the military generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty had no dignity in the court, and that even the weak civil officials and eunuchs could ride roughshod over them. They were aggressive outside the court, but subservient inside.
The Great Jing people worship the strong; the more powerful someone is, the more followers they have. Those civil officials and eunuchs are nothing; just kill them with one stroke and see how they can still jump around.
He had only heard about it before, but later confirmed it with Du Chong and Zhang Sheng that their military officers indeed had no dignity in the court.
But since the other party is his enemy, he deserves it! Hahaha!!!
"Drink, drink, drink..."
"Continue playing the music."
Sitting at the very end, Zhang Sheng obsequiously raised his wine cup to toast Wanyan Zongqin, "Second Prince, without your appreciation, I, Zhang Sheng, would not have the good days of enjoying fine wine and beautiful women today. I toast you."
"Come on! Cheers!" Wanyan Zongqin accepted the offer without hesitation, picked up his wine bowl, clinked glasses with him from a distance, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. He then reached out and grabbed the back of the neck of the maidservant serving him, pulled her over, leaned down and sealed her mouth with his own, passing the wine from his mouth to her.
The beauty was none other than Qin Yuru, the former Crown Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She was not good at drinking the strong liquor of the Great Jing Dynasty, and he forcefully forced her to drink a bowl of it, causing her to choke and cough incessantly, "Cough cough cough..."
Upon seeing this, he burst into laughter, "Hahaha!!!"
"The women of the Great Zhou are too delicate. They treat you like your lives depend on it if you're given even a sip of wine."
Qin Yuru was treated like a commodity and passed around. She had become accustomed to this kind of life, and her soft body nestled against the man's broad chest.
She wore a light, revealing dress with a high slit that exposed her slender, fair legs. Her fingers teased the man's exposed chest muscles by drawing circles on them. Her eyelashes slowly lifted, her eyes alluring, and she said in a sweet voice, "Your Highness~ It's because the wine in your Great Jing is too strong."
"How can I tame such a docile little lamb like you if you're not fierce?" Wanyan Zongqin grasped her small hand that was placed on his heart and pulled it down, while using his other hand to lift her chin.
"You're different from other sheep; you're a lamb in heat."
Wanyan Zongqin's hand grasped her fair thigh, about to penetrate deeper along the hem of her skirt.
The door was kicked open with a "bang!"
Just as Wanyan Zongqin was about to rebuke him, he saw Wanyan Zonglie at the door with a dark face, suppressing his anger. He pushed away the woman in his arms and teased him with a grin: "Fourth brother, did you eat a fireball? Why are you so angry? I heard that the little female slave princess you keep by your side is pregnant. She can't serve you anymore, so you must be feeling restless."
"Take any woman you fancy here, or how about this one in my arms? She's experienced and skilled in bed; she'll definitely make you feel very comfortable."
