Chapter 429 Peerless Hero
Wang Wenzhou saw that the battle was almost over and it was time to go find those two old ladies who had charged into battle.
"Xiaoyu, help me down from my horse!" Wang Wenzhou said.
Wang Wenzhou dismounted, walked to a body, squatted down, and kept rubbing the blood on his body.
Jian Fengyu shook his head with a wry smile. The adults were trying to play tricks again, acting like heroes in front of the ladies.
After Wang Wenzhou put on makeup, he picked up his sword and stabbed the corpse. There had to be some blood on the sword, otherwise it would be too easy to be recognized.
"Let's go find Jiaojiao," Wang Wenzhou said as he mounted his horse.
“Yes!” Jian Fengyu nodded.
Zhang Jiao stood with her sword in hand, looking at the prisoners scattered all over the ground. She was filled with emotion. "Grandpa, do you know? Jiao Jiao has finally been able to fight on the battlefield just like you did back then. Not only that, Jiao Jiao has also led her troops to a great victory."
"Jiaojiao!" Wang Wenzhou dismounted and ran towards Zhang Jiao.
"Ah!" Zhang Jiao turned around and saw that Wang Wenzhou was covered in blood. Zhang Jiao was terrified and screamed as she ran towards Wang Wenzhou.
Wang Ying, who was standing next to Zhang Jiao, also changed her expression and hurriedly ran over.
"Jiaojiao! Sister-in-law!" Wang Wenzhou felt that at this moment, he should pick up the two babies and spin them around.
"Husband!" Zhang Jiao ran faster and rushed ahead.
Wang Wenzhou grabbed Zhang Jiao, swung her around half a circle, and then with a "thump," Zhang Jiao was thrown to the ground by Wang Wenzhou.
"Ouch!" Wang Wenzhou cried out, clutching his waist.
"Husband!" Zhang Jiao quickly got up and went forward, anxiously checking if Wang Wenzhou was injured.
"Husband, are you alright?" Wang Ying ran over at this moment.
"It's nothing!" Wang Wenzhou twisted his waist, wiped the blood from his face, tossed his hair, and said coolly, "I heard you were in a fierce battle, and I was so anxious that I rushed over with my troops! I didn't expect my baby to be so amazing. Not only is he good in bed, but he's also incredibly good at killing enemy soldiers."
Wang Ying carefully examined the bloodstains on Wang Wenzhou's body and suddenly realized that they weren't splattered, but rather smeared on. Wang Ying rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou, thinking, "You rascal, you're really good at fooling people!"
Zhang Jiaobao didn't notice that her eyes were glistening with tears of emotion.
Zhang Jiao recalled the day she and Wang Wenzhou encountered danger, and how Wang Wenzhou stayed behind to cover their retreat so that she could escape. From that day on, Wang Wenzhou became Zhang Jiao's hero.
"Husband!" Zhang Jiao hugged Wang Wenzhou tightly.
Wang Wenzhou smiled slightly and gently patted Zhang Jiao's back. This act hadn't been in vain.
"Hmph!" Wang Ying snorted coldly.
Wang Wen tilted his head and noticed the disdainful look on Wang Ying's face.
Wang Wenzhou gave Wang Ying an awkward smile.
Wang Ying said irritably, "You rascal, wash your own clothes. You're not Liu Xiaohua or Sun Xiaohua, you're all grown up, why are you still putting dirty things on yourself?"
"Huh?" Zhang Jiao turned to look at Wang Ying, sensing that something was wrong.
Wang Wenzhou grabbed Zhang Jiao and kissed her. He couldn't let the silly Jiao Jiao figure this out, otherwise the only baby in the family who regarded him as a hero would be gone.
After the kiss, Wang Wenzhou put his arm around Wang Ying with one arm and Zhang Jiao with the other, and said with a smile, "Babies, babies, let's go back to camp."
……
Forbidden City.
Zhu Youjian burst into laughter as he read the report of victory from the front lines.
"Bo Xin is truly my lucky star! He has removed another major worry from my mind!" Zhu Youjian said with a smile. "Wang Chengen drafted an edict ordering Wang Wenzhou to return to the capital immediately. He cannot be allowed to stay in Shaanxi any longer. If he continues to stay in Shaanxi, there will be no magistrates or prefects left in Shaanxi."
"This old servant obeys the decree," Wang Chengen said, bowing.
"Bo Xin is both a scholar and a warrior, a hero of unparalleled talent. It is truly a blessing for the Ming Dynasty that I have Bo Xin's assistance!" Zhu Youjian exclaimed repeatedly.
Wang Chengen curled his lip. How could the Emperor trust Wang Wenzhou, that swindler, so much?
Zhu Youjian thought for a moment, patted the two memorials in his hand, and asked, "Wang Chengen, in your opinion, how should I deal with Gao Yingxiang?"
Wang Chengen thought for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang has some connection with the bandit Gao, so it is understandable that he does not want to kill him. Lord Sun also wants to kill the bandit Gao because he does not want to leave any future troubles. This old servant does not know what to do about this matter."
Wang Chengen actually supported killing Gao Yingxiang, but he dared not say so in front of Zhu Youjian, fearing that Wang Wenzhou would retaliate against him if he found out. Wang Wenzhou was a mad dog, vindictive and vengeful, and he dared not offend him.
Zhu Youjian nodded, somewhat troubled, and said, "When I sent Boxin to the Northwest, I promised him that if he could persuade Gao Yingxiang to surrender, I would spare Gao Yingxiang's life. I am very pleased with this great victory, and the court officials have already heard the news. Just now at the court assembly, all the officials wanted to execute Gao Yingxiang by slow slicing as a warning to others. But how can I break my promise? If I do that, wouldn't I be breaking Boxin's heart?"
"Ahem..." Wang Chengen coughed awkwardly a few times. He actually wanted to laugh out loud, but he coughed to avoid it. Although Wang Chengen had served Zhu Youjian for so many years, he really couldn't understand why Zhu Youjian cared so much about Wang Wenzhou. For the emperor to utter such words that chilled the hearts of his subjects was simply the talk of lovers in the throes of passion.
"Those lazy bums in the court can't stand seeing Bo Xin make meritorious contributions!" Zhu Youjian sighed, saying helplessly, "Look, now that they know Bo Xin has made new contributions, they've started attacking him again. Is it wrong for Bo Xin to be loyal to the court and to me?"
Wang Chengen shook his head with a wry smile. "Your Majesty, are you still going to complain?"
Wang Chengen had a persistent feeling that Zhu Youjian and Wang Wenzhou were deeply in love. For over a month, Zhu Youjian hadn't seen Wang Wenzhou and thought about her almost daily. He was practically obsessed. Upon learning of Wang Wenzhou's abduction, Zhu Youjian was frantic with worry and issued several imperial edicts, ordering Sun Chuanting to ensure Wang Wenzhou's safety.
Upon learning that Wang Wenzhou had made another meritorious contribution, Zhu Youjian was as happy as a child, dancing with joy. He kept muttering to himself like this for two hours.
……
Under the cover of night, more than 20,000 remnants of the defeated army hurriedly made their way.
After the great battle, Liu Zhe led his men to escape the encirclement and sent people to gather more troops. Soon, more than 20,000 men gathered under Liu Zhe's command.
Liu Zhe had no courage to stay any longer. He led his men and fled overnight, intending to seek refuge with Li Zicheng. Although Li Zicheng had fallen out with Gao Yingxiang, Liu Zhe was still Gao Yingxiang's son-in-law, and they had fought together for many years, so they had developed a bond. Liu Zhe believed that Li Zicheng would not mistreat him.
In the group, Yu Tao, mounted on his horse, cursed Wang Wenzhou in his heart. Although he had been a thief, he had already submitted to the imperial court and become a commander of a thousand households. He was living a very comfortable life until he met Wang Wenzhou, when his life completely changed.
Not only has he lost a hand, but he has also become a defeated general. He hasn't had a drop of water for a day and a night, and Yu Tao is now both thirsty and exhausted.
Yu Tao looked down on Liu Zhe. Yu Tao, who always considered himself a hero, thought that Liu Zhe had been scared out of his wits by the government troops and did not even dare to stop and rest. He ran away overnight for fear that the government troops would catch up with him.
But Yu Tao was helpless; he was a nobody with little influence. Yu Tao secretly vowed to work hard in Li Zicheng's army and get a position so he could stop being so humiliated.
