Chapter 306: Manage Your Bandits
Above the major general is the lieutenant general, and then comes the general at the level of Huo Gannian and Cao Fang.
In the battle to defend Kyoto, Yun Chen killed the most enemies and made the greatest contribution as a vanguard, but he had no intention of being promoted at all.
He only got the title of earl, plus a thousand taels of gold and countless jades.
In the eyes of others, the title of earl is good, it can be inherited, and there is a fiefdom, which is only one step away from the title of marquis.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Donggong was wary of Yun Chen.
Yun Chen is a woman and will get married sooner or later, so she can only give up the title of earl to her husband or offspring.
But being promoted to general is different, as he has military power above that of lieutenant general.
The Eastern Palace clearly didn't want Yun Chen to lead the troops alone.
Seeing through this, people can't help but feel sorry for Yun Chen.
Yun Chen didn't care at all. As soon as he left the palace with the gold, he immediately forgot about Huo Gannian who was still discussing matters with Nan Lijun in the East Palace.
She invited the guards of the Huo Gang who were fighting on the battlefield with the Beijing Army to defend their homeland into the Major General's Mansion.
He distributed the gold and jade among everyone, set up a night banquet in the front hall, and prepared to celebrate with everyone.
In order to avoid suspicion due to his current identity as a woman, Yun Chen specially invited Yun Wang to entertain the guests.
The prime minister stood in front of the door with his sleeves tucked into his hands, looking stern, serious and steady, as if he was waiting to catch a truant student.
Most of the guards of the Huo Gang were good at fighting but had average education. They came to the door of the Major General's Mansion, laughing and talking arm in arm. When they saw Yun Wang, they immediately restrained themselves, lowered their heads and hands, and lined up to enter the mansion. None of them dared to be presumptuous.
I could only hear someone whispering:
"The Prime Minister is here to entertain guests? Are all Ah Chen's banquets of this high standard?"
"What are you afraid of? He's Achen's brother! He's one of us! Damn it, I should have worn new boots!"
Looking at this scene, Yun Chen couldn't help laughing:
"It turns out everyone is afraid of intellectuals!"
When no one was around, Yun Wang rolled his eyes:
"You're being polite, but you invited a bunch of grown men to your house for dinner so late at night. You're being impolite, but you even invited me to entertain them. Thank you, Sister Chen, for letting me take time out of my busy schedule to look after the gate."
Yun Chen couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh out loud, but as soon as he laughed, he was stopped by Yun Wang's eyes.
"Sister Chen, you are now a woman inside and out, so it's best not to smile like that."
Yun Chen glanced at Lan Qian, who was covering her mouth with her hands while laughing, and followed her example, covering her mouth and nose tightly. "What about this?"
Yun Wang's mouth twitched, "Goodbye. Lest others misunderstand that I have body odor."
"Hahahahahahaha——" Yun Chen laughed again without any image.
This battle wiped out all the fear in Yun Chen's heart caused by the exposure of his daughter's identity.
Holding sword and arrow, kill the enemy and defend the country.
Amidst the endless fighting and bloodshed, she suddenly remembered what her master had once said to her:
No matter how the world misinterprets and criticizes you, you just treat it as a dog barking.
She rediscovered her fearlessness and determination, and resolved to be herself from now on.
No matter others say that she is a brave female general or a traitor, she is just a "Cloud Tiger" with a clear conscience.
So what if she is the only unique woman in the world.
After figuring this out, Yun Chen felt relaxed all over. He and his fellow guards from the Huo Gang drank heartily, laughed, and chatted.
When Yun Wang wasn't paying attention, Yun Chen stood on the stool.
Before I knew it, Yun Chen was already on the table.
If Yun Wang hadn't been watching closely, Yun Chen would have almost gotten too excited and ridden on Hua Jue's neck.
It had been a long time since he had a drink with Yun Chen. Hua Jue was so happy that he drank several more pots. He soon felt dizzy and threw away the rules between men and women. He put his arm around Yun Chen's shoulders and said with a big tongue:
"Good Ah Chen! Become, become, be an earl! Soon you will be a marquis, a general! My good brother! Seeing you like this makes me happier than if I were the young master of the Huo Gang!"
Hearing this true and heart-wrenching truth, Yun Chen was so moved that he choked up. He nodded repeatedly, hugged Hua Jue back, and patted his shoulders continuously.
Ye Yan hurriedly separated the two, but before he finished, he heard Bu Yan, drunk, burst into tears:
"My brother!! Achen!! My brother!!"
Ye Yan walked over and gave Bu Yan a solid slap on the head:
"Why are you howling so unlucky?! Ah Chen just turned into a woman, he's not dead!"
Hua Jue's eyes lit up, and he commented, "The word 'change' is used very, very, very well!" Then he hugged Buyan and said, "You should change into one too. After you change, you can become sisters with Achen!"
Ever since Yun Chen's daughter's identity was revealed to the world, Bu Yan has been devastated.
He couldn't accept that Yun Chen was actually a woman!!
There was actually a woman who knew he had hemorrhoids!!
He couldn't remember how many secrets between men had been overheard by Achen.
He picked up a bowl of wine and cried to Yun Chen, "The brotherhood between you and me ends today!"
"What bullshit..." Ye Yan was too lazy to curse and just kicked Buyan on the butt. Hua Jue also cursed and wanted to hit someone, but Yun Chen went over and held Buyan's wine bowl, looking at him with red eyes.
Bu Yan held Yun Chen's head, rested his forehead against hers, and said lovingly:
"From now on, we are sisters!"
"Okay!" Yun Chen howled and shouted with full energy:
"elder sister!"
Bu Yan gritted his teeth and promised fiercely:
"I'm here! Good sister!"
After saying that, the two were about to hug each other, and Ye Yan was so scared that he quickly grabbed Bu Yan's throat and dragged him away.
The Huo Gang guards around all burst into laughter.
Bu Yan's upper body was being dragged by Ye Yan, and his lower body and legs kept struggling, crying loudly:
"Achen and I are sisters now! What's wrong? Can sisters not touch each other? We used to be close brothers who were willing to die for each other, but now we can't even touch each other? Wuwuwu..."
These words expressed everyone's thoughts.
Ever since Yun Chen "became" a woman, for the sake of Yun Chen's reputation, no one can chat and laugh with her arm in arm anymore.
Even high-fiving to say hello is a luxury, and touching is beyond the norm.
After the battle to defend Kyoto was over, everyone watched Yun Chen gasping for breath from exhaustion, her calves trembling as she walked, but no one dared to step forward to support her.
If it were in the past, I'm afraid everyone would have rushed forward to support Yun Chen, you carry me and I support you.
Who cares about the rules and regulations? The most important thing is that all the brothers survive.
Now, this huge barrier between men and women has completely separated Yun Chen from his brotherhood with everyone else.
Thinking of this, the guards of Huo Gang threw their bowls and cursed:
"Fuck the rules!"
"Achen is our brother first! And then comes the woman!"
"I don't care! Ah Chen has been promoted to earl! I have to carry her on my shoulders to celebrate!"
"Alright! Throw it high! Make Achen happy!!"
As they spoke, everyone stepped forward and formed a circle, pushing Yun Wang and Ye Yan, who had been watching over everyone to make sure they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, two miles away.
Countless hands grabbed Yun Chen's shoulders, back, waist and legs, and lifted him up steadily.
Someone shouted, "Come on, come on—send little Achen up to heaven to play one!"
Everyone responded in unison, and just as they were about to throw Yun Chen up, they heard a loud "Marquis Huo is here——"
Huo Gannian's figure appeared at the door, standing tall in the shadow under the lantern. The candlelight made his face dim and unclear, making it impossible to see his emotions.
In an instant, the whole place fell silent, and everyone froze in their actions, not daring to act recklessly again.
Yun Wang, who was pushed to the ground, stared at Huo Gannian, as if saying:
"Brother-in-law, please take care of these bandits under your command!"
Throwing his unmarried wife into the air in front of Huo Gannian?
The guards of the Huo Gang felt that they probably couldn't save their hands. According to Huo Gannian's temper, anyone who touched Yun Chen tonight would have their hands chopped off.
Yun Chen was lifted up in the air, struggling with his limbs. "Hey? Why don't you throw me away? Otherwise, it looks like you're using me as a sacrifice to the gods?"
She followed the crowd's gaze. She hadn't heard clearly because of the chaos just now, but now she realized that it was Huo Gannian who came.
She lay on her back in the air and waved happily to Huo Gannian:
"A Nian! You're back!"
Huo Gannian walked out of the shadow of the candlelight.
To everyone's surprise, there wasn't a trace of displeasure on his face, only a gentleness so soft that it could drip with water.
He asked, "Are you happy?"
Yun Chen nodded vigorously: "Happy!"
He shook his head and smiled helplessly, and stopped talking. He just raised his hand and motioned everyone to continue.
In an instant, the whole audience erupted in cheers, almost blowing the roof of the Major General's Mansion off.
The crowd surrounded Yun Chen, and countless strong hands lifted her high into the air.
Cheers and blessings surround us:
"Send my brother to the sky!"
"Good Achen! You will be a marquis today! You will achieve success tomorrow!"
"Good Achen! Good boy——"
