Chapter 115: Scheming Huo Ziyuan
"General, you shouldn't ask them, because they are all slaves of the Mo family and they certainly wouldn't dare to betray their master."
Song Zhuxin stood by and spoke slowly, her voice like an echo coming from a deep valley.
She deliberately put eye drops on Zuo Kexin. This woman must bear the consequences if she dares to snatch a man from her.
Although this general was not a good person and didn't even dare to look at a beauty like her, Zuo Kexin would definitely not get away with it.
"You too, get out of here and stay away from this general. A married woman is not staying with her husband, but is wandering around in front of the soldiers."
The young general made an angry accusation. He was the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, a family of military generals in the capital.
Although he is from a noble family, his achievements today are achieved through his own strength and fighting hard with every blow.
Since he was a child, he has been close to the Huo family, who are also from a family of military generals, especially the Huo family's Dalang and Erlang, who are a few years older than him.
He was not familiar with Huo Ziyuan who stayed in the capital, but for the sake of his two brothers, he naturally wanted to protect Huo Ziyuan.
And his wife wants to seduce him, what kind of thing is that!
It would be strange if he could be nice to her!
"General, it's not that I want to get close to you, but my husband asked me to tell General Xiao to let you go and talk." Song Zhuxin said in a hoarse voice.
"Well, stay away from me from now on." Xiao Ji emphasized again. After he finished speaking, he got up and walked away, fearing that Song Zhuxin would catch up with him and walk next to him.
"General, wait for me~" Song Zhuxin deliberately called out in a coquettish voice. She thought that Xiao Ji must be fascinated by her beauty and couldn't control himself.
"Song Zhuxin, the general can't hear us anymore. He has walked so far away!" Zuo Kexin said gloatingly.
"General, you have something urgent to tell my husband. Who do you think you are?" Song Zhuxin asked back with contempt.
She looked back at Zuo Kexin with a hint of provocation in her eyes, as if hinting at some unspeakable secret.
"Hmph! Song Zhuxin, why are you so arrogant? You are so shameless. General Xiao obviously doesn't like you."
Seeing the young general walking so fast, as if he were being chased by a dog, Zuo Kexin felt a surge of emotion in her heart, like rippling spring water.
"Song Zhuxin, let's not talk about whether the general likes me or not, but he definitely won't like a married woman."
A sneer of disdain suddenly appeared on her face. A married woman dared to compete with her for the general's favor. In the end, she was just wishful thinking!
"If I were not married, I would have married the general long ago, but you are a country girl who has never seen the world.
General Xiao just called you a waste! Hahahaha… How dare a country girl like you dream of General Xiao?
Song Zhuxin took a step back and spoke softly, her tone revealing an unquestionable pride, as if she were a queen high above everyone else.
She was not in a hurry to chase Xiao Ji because he walked too fast and she couldn't catch up with him no matter how hard she tried, so she simply stopped.
This damn country girl actually dared to humiliate her, and what she said was the truth, which made her very angry.
Thinking back to how Xiao Ji never dared to let her get close to Huo Ziyuan, and even spoke to her in a deliberately cold and sarcastic manner.
She must be afraid that he couldn't control himself. Whenever she thought of this, the anger in her heart would rise, as if a flame was burning in her heart.
"One day, I will definitely gain the general's favor. Just wait and see." Zuo Kexin swore viciously.
"Just look at it. I heard that you swore to marry Mo Lengzhou since you were a child, but my cousin got you in the lurch. Hehe..."
"Your cousin is a vixen, what are you so proud of?" Zuo Kexin asked angrily.
At the same time, she felt unwilling. She couldn't get her brother Leng Zhou in Mojia Village, and she couldn't catch up with a young general after leaving the village.
This made her feel very embarrassed and her cheeks felt slightly hot, but she was unwilling to show weakness to Song Zhuxin, a married woman.
She wanted to fight back, to respond to this insult with her pride and wisdom.
However, like Song Zhuxin, she had also become a shameless woman, and the words she wanted to curse at her were stuck in her throat, making it difficult for her to speak.
Xiao Ji walked quite a distance and could still hear two people fighting. He walked even faster, "Ziyuan, are you looking for me?"
"I didn't look for General Xiao. Is Xin'er lying to you again?" Huo Ziyuan asked gently.
But in his heart, he gritted his teeth and cursed his fickle wife more than a hundred times, and even cursed the eighteen generations of the Song family's ancestors three times.
"Ziyuan, I'll send someone to take you to Liangzhou to settle down first!" Xiao Ji asked tentatively.
He really wanted to say: It’s really not good for your wife to flirt with this general and the soldiers like this all day long!
But when he looked at the decadent Huo Ziyuan in front of him, he couldn't say anything!
Huo Ziyuan, who once dominated the Beijing's playboy circles, was the envy of their legitimate sons and grandsons.
They dress in fine clothes and ride horses, and act recklessly. Because they have older brothers, they do not have to bear the responsibility of the family.
"General Xiao, just take care of the arrangements. It really doesn't matter to me, a useless person."
Huo Ziyuan's voice was low and hoarse, as if every word was suppressed in the pain in his heart.
He gently stroked his lumbar spine, which was unable to straighten itself. "Do you think that if you send us away, Xin'er will stay by my side?"
Huo Ziyuan's sad words were filled with a hint of desperate questioning, and even Nuan Yang seemed to be silent.
He didn't want to complain to his elder brother's former exaggerated rival, but he had no other choice now.
He understood even more clearly in his heart that those beautiful fantasies had long been shattered by the cold reality.
The glory and stubbornness of the past are like sand flowing through his fingers, which he can never catch. So what face does he have left?
There is an old saying that goes, "To die with dignity is to suffer in life!"
He's already having such a hard time, why should he make himself and his family suffer for the sake of face!
Xiao Ji didn't know what Huo Ziyuan was thinking, and his words made him feel a pang of pain.
It was as if an invisible rope was tightly wrapped around his chest, making it impossible for him to breathe.
He didn't know how to answer and could only look at Huo Ziyuan's pale and tough face silently.
At this moment, a strong urge surged in his heart, as if he wanted to use his own strength to defend Huo Ziyuan's vulnerability.
"Otherwise, you should stay with me! I will order the soldiers not to approach your wife. Anyone who disobeys will be executed."
Xiao Ji's voice was firm, as if telling Huo Ziyuan that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, he would accompany him all the way.
"........."
A hint of astonishment flashed across Huo Ziyuan's eyes, followed by a deep feeling of being moved. He hadn't expected that playing the victim could actually move Xiao Ji.
Now he can hardly bear the bitterness and loss, and at this moment he seems to have received some comfort.
His slightly trembling lips finally managed to force a smile, "Xiao Ji, thank you."
Although this smile is mixed with helplessness and sadness, it also reveals a glimmer of warm hope.
