Jia Yu wiped the blood off his face and threw the blunted steel knife aside.
His blood-stained face glared fiercely at the middle-aged man in luxurious clothes standing in his tent.
“What’s it about, speak quickly.”
Lai Da’s heart pounded when he saw Jia Yu.
He was terrifying.
A month ago, when he first met him, he was just an ordinary tall man.
Now, he was like a fierce tiger, making him afraid to look directly at him.
“Third, Third Master, I’m here by the order of your sister-in-law, Second Madam, to ask you to come outside the camp for a moment.”
Jia Yu’s reputation had risen rapidly in recent days.
The battle outside Guangning Gate had become known throughout the capital, thanks to the propaganda of the common people in the southern city.
The Rongguo Mansion had produced a valiant and fierce general, just like their ancestors.
The battle at Xizhi Gate had further revealed Jia Yu’s terrifying combat strength.
The Mongols were like chicks in his hands.
“Second Madam?” Jia Yu frowned. When he first entered the Rongguo Mansion, he was teased by many, but it was this Second Madam who helped him then.
However, why was Wang Xifeng looking for him?
Jia Yu’s intelligence had been reduced, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t remember his past life memories.
Wang Xifeng wasn’t a righteous character in the Dream of the Red Chamber.
Greedy, lacking decorum.
However, this sister-in-law was truly beautiful.
When he first met this sister-in-law, he shamelessly got hard.
Then, he received a very warm piece of clothing.
“We are in the middle of a war, I cannot leave here.”
Jia Yu refused without hesitation.
Lai Da lowered his head and said softly: “Second Madam is in a carriage in the alley outside, she just wants you to go over and say a few words.”
Jia Yu raised an eyebrow: “She’s already outside the camp, then let her come in, don’t worry, it’s safer here than in the city.”
The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, like the capitals of other dynasties, was rich in the east and noble in the west.
The western district was where nobles and high officials lived.
Lai Da thought for a moment and nodded.
Soon, a person dressed in men's clothing with a straw hat on their head entered the tent, accompanied by Lai Da and a few gray-haired guards from the Jia family.
In the tent, Jia Yu was wearing silver-white battle armor, with mottled patches of dried black blood and pockmarks from injuries, marking the many battles it had seen.
When the white straw hat was taken off, a white, delicate face was revealed.
Even wearing ordinary people's linen clothes, it couldn’t hide the noble air about her.
A pair of phoenix eyes, with a hint of spring breeze.
“Third Master, you have changed so much.” Before coming, Lai Da had told Wang Xifeng.
The current Third Master was not the young man who had just come from the countryside outside the city, full of youthful awkwardness and naivete.
When Wang Xifeng first met Jia Yu, she simply felt that he was very handsome.
His height was over six feet, he had a handsome face, and a sturdy physique.
Although she didn’t want to admit it, she had to say that compared to her husband, Second Master Lian.
Perhaps he only won in terms of his noble son's aura and his skills in playing with women.
She could see his physical reaction when he saw her.
She had given Jia Yu the clothes that Second Master Lian didn’t like.
Unexpectedly, in less than a month.
Jia Yu had become a household name in the capital.
Now, Jia Yu had shed his youth, the blood on his face, the stains on his body, all spoke of the achievements of this man.
Wang Xifeng’s father was also a general.
Unfortunately, he died on the battlefield when she was young, and the family’s title was passed on to her second uncle, Wang Zizheng.
She had also dreamed that one day Second Master Lian would enter the capital’s military camp and get some kind of official position, so that she could also gain some glory.
But Second Master Lian only thought about playing with women every day.
He played even when he shouldn’t have, he didn’t play with the women in his own house, he liked to play with the dirty, cheap ones outside.
Wang Xifeng thought about many things in a flash, then quickly brought her thoughts back.
However, she noticed that there was a piece of clothing hanging on the rack in the tent, the one she had given Jia Yu.
“Second Madam Lian, is there anything urgent?”
Jia Yu kept it short: “I’m very busy, I don’t have much time to waste.”
Wang Xifeng was beautiful, but his soldiers were waiting for him.
He had accumulated a lot of Kill Points, as long as he continued to earn more merit, the Emperor would promote him, and he could replenish his army.
In this cold weapon era, having a gun meant you could do anything without fear.
The Jia family’s downfall was simply because they didn’t have a gun.
They were at the Emperor’s mercy.
He was different.
As long as he had enough Kill Points, he could recruit a large number of Xuanjia soldiers.
Five thousand Xuanjia soldiers, as long as he didn’t rebel, he could walk all over this world.
At that time, he would be able to have as many beautiful women as he wanted, just by saying a word.
Wang Xifeng said awkwardly: “Third Master, I’m here today to ask for your help.
My family, my uncle, Wang Ziren, is currently a cavalry captain in the Three Thousand Camp.”
“He was injured in the Xuanfu battle and his legs were injured, making it difficult for him to fight.
Could you please let him out of your plan.”
Wang Xifeng didn’t know what Jia Yu’s plan was.
But last night, her aunt had gone to her house crying.
Second Madam was also there, pleading her case.
They said that her third uncle would definitely die on the battlefield if he followed Jia Yu’s plan.
For some reason, this matter couldn’t be told to the men of the Jia family, so it fell to Wang Xifeng.
“Hahaha.” Jia Yu laughed, his voice filled with mockery: “It’s about this, tell me his name.”
Damn it, so it was all about a coward.
No wonder their family was ruined in the end.
In the face of national disaster, he could only choose to escape, how could he not perish?
Wang Xifeng could hear the change in Jia Yu’s emotions.
“Third Master, if it’s inconvenient, you can just forget it...” Wang Xifeng unconsciously lowered her posture.
Jia Yu walked over to the rack, took down the piece of clothing, and handed it to Wang Xifeng.
“Greed for life and fear of death is human nature, but in the face of national disaster, enjoying the best things yet not defending your country.
Such a person is unworthy of my company.
You have the surname Wang, there is only Wang Ziren on the list with the surname Wang, I will help you strike his name off.”
Wang Xifeng took the clothes in a daze, feeling a lot of grievance for some reason.
“Old Five, you two escort them out of the camp.” Jia Yu picked up his long sword: “I’ll go back to the front lines.”
Only Jia Yu’s personal guards, Wang Xifeng, and a few old men remained in the tent.
Seeing that Jia Yu had gone far, Old Five smiled and said to one of the old men: “Father, let’s go out! Master needs us to guard him.”
The old man looked at Wang Xifeng: “Second Madam, do you think we should leave first? Third Master needs them to help him over there.”
Wang Xifeng held the clothes, took a deep breath, and smiled: “Alright, let’s go.”
So Third Master had really subdued these proud and fierce soldiers!
Wang Xifeng felt very uncomfortable, but as a shrewd and worldly person, she was very good at gathering information.
These old men of the Jia family were all tough guys who had fought in countless battles, following two national dukes.
They were also the most important foundation of the Jia family.
Her second uncle had always wanted to get these household retainers of the Jia family.
Unfortunately, after the death of the two national dukes, only Lady Jia could mobilize them, no one else could.
Now, these people were all under Third Master’s command.
And what was that plan?
Was there anything more dangerous than guarding the breach here?
