The General Wants to Hug and Sleep Chapter 15

Fifty thousand troops are heading to Cong Zhou for dealing with the bandits. All people thought the battle between the palace army with the Bandits of Cong Zhou will fight for quite some time, Xiao Zhi is leading three thousand elite troops, as flash as lightning, surrounded all outside the city of Cong Zhou and corner the bandit to the hills and swept them one by one.

No one knows that Xiao Zhi will use this kind of plan to draw the bandits attention. While he brought the soldier, taking the advantage to kill the bandits in their own hide place.

The originally bandit in Cong Zhou is hundred thousand and now it decrease to thirty thousand. If wants to wipe out them, it doesn’t take much time.

While in the center of Luo Yang City, in the palace, a man who is holding secret report, ferociously make a fist of his palm, “ Detestable Xiao Zhi, didn’t expect use that kind of movement.”

“The Third Prince, what should we do now? Does all several years effort being destroyed in such way?” his subordinate who standing near him, carefully asked.

The current Emperor dislike the princes hold the army, so several princes didn’t have any military power with them. The Third Prince has spend several years effort in Cong Zhou recruiting soldiers and buying horses, using the status as Bandit in the appearance, whenever the palace sending troops to wipe out the bandits of Cong Zhou, they won’t success. It because the influence of the Third Prince in Cong Zhou. Simply say, The Third Prince is Cong Zhou land lord. Cong Zhou is the place for Third Prince to retreat if he loses in competing for the throne. If he really loses, he could start up from Cong Zhou and gaining the power from there.

“Of course I can’t afford it.” Third Prince hatred voice, he unwillingly that several years effort, being ruined. “Isn’t anybody who could stop Xiao Zhi?”

“That Xiao Zhi very good in using his military forces, his martial art is legendary skillful, being afraid…”

“This kind of word, don’t need you to remind!” The Third prince kicked that person chest, “I just want to know, how to protect my military force in Cong Zhou!”

The subordinate in pain kneeling to ground, the face turned pale white, if there really a way, then the army won’t be defeated till reaching dead-point.

“So, there is no way out?” The third prince feet kick up again, then suddenly he heard woman laughing voice.

He looked to the direction, dressed in pink palace outfit that delivered exquisitely figure, The waist belt which attached by the gems and precious stones make her waist outline more obvious, her brow own pride and extravagance, if she is not the Tenth Princess, Dai Rui Qian, then who will be.

“Huang Mei, how can you come here?” The third prince asked. Even this place inside the palace, it is appertaining a secretive place, only few people who knows this place. While this Tenth Princess who is sharing same mother with him, so that why their relation is closer, once the Third Prince gains the power, naturally the Tenth Princess status also goes up too.

“Just now looking at Huang Xiong’s worried expression, makes me feel hilarious. He only Xiao Zhi, that makes Huang Xiong headache.” Dai Rui Qin holding her waist and walking inside the room.

“Does he is someone that easy to deal with? If he really easy to deal with, on the earlier you should have make him to be your husband, then my position won’t be at danger like now” Third Prince coldly said.

Dui Rui Qin expression changed, gritting her teeth, “Naturally, I hope Huang Xiong is doing fine, you and I are people whom getting in same boat, that’s why I especially come here to remind Huang Xiong, n.o.body is perfect, Xiao Zhi is also human-being, naturally, he has the weakness.

“Oh? What is his weakness?” the Third Prince is getting interest.

“Woman.” Once she asked someone to investigate the general residence secretly and hearing the information, she is impatience to suppress her hatred. Xiao Zhi unexpectedly falling in love with maid, simple says this is kind irony for her.

“Hahaha!” the Third Prince once heard it, he couldn’t hold his laugh, “In this world, everyone know that Xiao Zhi doesn’t like women, but you even told me that his weakness is woman?”

“Believe or not it up to you, I only could tell you that Xiao Zhi dotting one girl, if you can capture that girl, you have possibility to control him.” Dui Rui Qin coldly said.

The Third Prince muttered for while, “Alright, you are my Huang Mei who is sharing same mother, I believe on you.”

“But my information is not free.” Dui Rui Qin sneered, giving a glanced at Third Prince.

Third Prince is very understand in his mind, his own sister since young is so good at scheme, he knows, “As long as Xiao Zhi able be controlled, naturally, his life will be spared and given to Huang Mei” as abolished Xiao Zhi martial art, or makes him half life half death, it is not within his guarantee.

“Third Huang Xiong understand is fine.” Dui Rui Qin showed brilliant ray, “About that girl, once Huang Xiong able to control Xiao Zhi, solve it together.”

“It’s naturally.”

Both of them looking at each other eyes, their expression as if laughing inside, one wants to solve the current hards.h.i.+p, the other one wants to make use someone to kill someone else. Each of them has their own idea, scheming others.

The soldiers, in the Cong Zhou are one of the normal scenes, but the neat line of army is so rare to see.

Thousands of troops neatly lined up in two. Escorted a horse carriage and walked toward the center of Cong Zhou central city. The people of Cong Zhou didn’t dare to look around, even the one with experienced, after saw the soldiers dressed, someone said: “This is Xiao General army forces ah~, Didn’t the Xiao General should be in the outside of Cong Zhou to wipe out the rebellion bandits? Now, entering the city, did he have completely wiped out all the bandits?”

Many argumentations spreading. Many of people are guessing about Cong Zhou future after the war will be. But these kind of conversation only being whispered and no one would dare to talk facing this kind of military force.

The carriage stopped at the front of Zhi’s government repository main door, that old Zhi officer has been waiting with his family to welcome the general at the main door.

Xiao general is known as someone moody, famous as someone capricious even in the court and the commonalty, he only hoping during this period of suppressing the rebellion, don’t make anything that would offend the big general.

Once seeing the carriage, Zhi officer busying welcome, “This lowly…”

“Don’t need too much courtesy, avoid to make a noise for her.” He suppressed his voice to very low, seems to be like dreaming, there is trace of unspeakable gentleness.

Zhi officer absentminded for moment, this voice… is it the cold general speak out? And to the extend, who is the person that he referred as “she” ?

 

“Liu military officer.” Xiao Zhi spoke with lower voice from inside the carriage.

“I am here.” Liu military officer who stood next to the carriage also answered with lower voice.

“ If there is a uproar nearby, killed without remit.”

“Yes.”

Zhi officer is s.h.i.+vering, This Xiao general as expected is someone heartless.

The curtain of the horse carriage slowly raise, that elegant silhouette finally appear in front of people. The pitch black of hair is using the jade hair pin, the bright and clean fair skin, but give a sense of grave and stern, deep eyes, a straight high nose, the thin lips slightly raised give an expression of less cold person and more humanity.

In his arm, he is hugging someone, while that exquisite pretty face is showing a dotting expression, a face show dotting to the person in his arm.

Zhi officer suddenly feel his foot became impractical. This person… is he Xiao general?

While the person who is in general arm, because the face is facing general bosom so, only the hair and the posture that seen by people.

“Lead the way.” Xiao Zhi glanced at the Zhi officer who is dumbfounded standing beside him.

“Yes, yes.” Zhi officer answered with same lower voice, even he didn’t have chance to introduce his family member. The person who is guided Xiao Zhi to the mansion house, is specially employed because of Xiao Zhi for the vacated courtyard.

“Xiao General, this is the place for you to rest, if there is something dissatisfied, please inform this lowly.”

“Ng.” Xiao Zhi calmly answered.

The person who is in his arm safely lying in the bed, the person is moving, opened the teary eyes, using the wake up voice said : has arrive to Cong Zhou?”

“Arrived. If you want to sleep just sleep little bit.” Xiao Zhi said even he could see that she hasn’t fully awake.

“Oh… fine.” Chu Zhu Yu yawning, and continue close her eyes, “ if she known earlier yesterday, she would not read that Buddhist script, causing she slept so late.”

Xiao Zhi carefully put down Chu Zhu Yu on bed, he even takes the blanket cover her body.

While the Zhi officer who standing near him, his body stiffens.

Since the day she arrived at Cong Zhou, outside the war is keep on going, while she just staying at inside the mansion brewing tea. Or watching the opera inside the mansion with the Zhi officer’s wives, the concubine and those gretting teeth maids.

Of course, she wants to get out from the mansion but even the outside situation is come to stable, no one dares to agree her begging. Zhi officer afraid to agree, Liu military officer can’t agree, while the general, Xiao Zhi is using the beauty scheme toward her, kissing her till she forget to beg her wish.

His kissed, she couldn’t refuse, because it is love. Even her face turned red, even when he kissed her, her heart beating and jumping faster, but she doesn’t refuse.

She likes the way he kissed her, never stopping called her name, likes how he looked when he sleeping and hugging her, his expression, like his satisfaction expression after drinking the tea that she brew for him, all those things just makes her feel, she is the one very special in his heart…

Of course, being someone so special also has the bad side, the bad side is…

“Lady Chu, I… I haven’t go out from the residence to meet my family within this two months, don’t know Lady could help me asking half day permission, let me to visit my family.” One of the servant in Zhi’s residence who is asking to served Xiao Zhi, kneeling on ground asking for her help.

“Hm.. let me give a try.” Chu Zhu Yu agreed.

“Thank you very much lady Chu.” That servant retreated.

Few moments…

“Lady Chu, w.a.n.g Er that person who sweeping the floor today, accidentally stepped general clothes which put in chair.” Someone made a report.

“That… just was.h.i.+ng the clothes is fine.” Who is w.a.n.g Er? She doesn’t have any impression of that person.

“Even this w.a.n.g Er is careless person, but he has good character kind and honest, hoping Lady Chu puts a several good word, begging for w.a.n.g Er life!” that person act as minding his own business, the eyes expression seems old but his eyes is clear.

Life?! “only make the clothes dirty, life would gone?” She almost spat her saliva.

“That because it is general clothes.”

“I will speak to the general, won’t let w.a.n.g Er losing his life.” She is sweating.

“Thank you so much, Lady Chu.”

Another moment pa.s.sed

“Lady Chu! Lady Chu!” someone shouting, Lao Yuan turned back. Chu Zhu Yu gets a headache, putting the tea leaves that she observing, raised up her body and walking to the front of room door.

Indeed, a fat figure who was run out the breath, running all the way, Chu Zhu Yu knew the person, she is the mansion Li Mo Mo (elderly maid).

“Lady Chu! Please go with me!” once Li Mo Mo saw Chu Zhu Yu, without any explanation, She pulled her.

“Go? Go to where?” she strangely.

“Go to rescue someone.”

Hag? Help someone? “Are you sure I can help?”

“Sure, very sure, if it is you then it can be helped.” Li Mo Mo pulling Chu Zhu Yu while speaking, “Our young master didn’t listen to the General commanded, he took the army with him to chase the bandits by himself, now he was captured, Master begging the general helped but the general wasn’t agreed.”

“This is the army matter, I don’t understand.”

“You don’t understand it doesn’t matter, as long as you begging to the general for military force, rescuing the Young Master, it will do!” Li Mo Mo said with sad and dreary, “Young Master is the only son of the Master, Master just begging to keep the young master life safe, continuing to be able for praying the ancestors, about after rescuing somewhat he will get punish, all just according to General wish.

“But, If I going will I can rescue him?” Chu Zhu Yu doubted. Coming to Cong Zhou, The Zhi’s family is treating her good.

“Can. The general will only hear Lady Chu words the most. Now the Master and the Mistresses are at loss what to do so they just expecting your help.”

Listened? Chu Zhu Yu eyes glancing through to see Xiao Zhi face expression. Fine, she admitted, most of time, he really listened to hers.

That two person impatience walking, absolutely unaware of danger in that road, being followed.

Only walking out from courtyard, Chu Zhu Yu heard “dong” sound, Li Mo Mo that fatty body has lying on the ground already.

“Li Mo Mo” She screamed in fear, seeing a person with black robe, covering the face standing in front of her.

“Are you that woman that Xiao Zhi cares?” the person asked.

“If I am not, will you believe on me?” she trying to look around for help. But suddenly realizing that the guards who guarding the residence are lying on the ground.

“Of course not.” The person in black said. “I only listened to the command of my Master, for bringing you back.”

“Who is your Master?”

“That should see, whether you still alive or not!” the person in black robe, hands out knife and forcing Chu Zhu Yu to follow.

She felt in front, her eyes dark, all her body weak and faint. The last things in her mind, if she earlier knows, that time, she should learn one or two martial art movement from Xiao Zhi for escaping, even she can’t win but at least can escape.
