Volume 4 is in the ascendant Chapter 419: Settlement of Accounts at Night
"What's going on?" Bai Tu asked Zhang Xian, who was speaking hesitantly, with some impatience.
Zhang Xian, a general under Zhang Xiu, once defended Wancheng together with Lei Xu under the command of Zhang Chunhua.
At this time, Zhang Xian and Lei Xu were outside the 300 heavy cavalry in plate armor. After Bai Tu arrived, they were explaining this strange situation to Bai Tu.
Hearing Bai Tu's question, Zhang Xian looked at Lu Lingqi cautiously, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yes... Yang Feng intercepted Madam Xiahou before, but he didn't trust General Zhang, so he insisted on handing Madam Xiahou over to the king. In order to protect Madam Xiahou, General Zhang stationed troops in Yang Feng's army to protect her."
"Madam Xiahou? What Madam Xiahou? Whose madam?" Bai Tu's face was full of confusion.
"Well... I don't know anything, but Yang Feng and General Zhang said that Madam Xiahou is pregnant." Zhang Xian said, and looked at the white map carefully again.
White picture: ...
You don't know anything, why are you looking at me?
"Should I go out for a while?" Lu Lingqi asked, rubbing the painted halberd in her hand.
"No need! I'm Bai Hard Drive, so I don't know anything about Madam Xiahou!" Bai Tu slammed the table and said.
Lu Lingqi looked at the white map suspiciously, then looked at Zhang Xian who dared not speak, and seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "The Lady Xiahou you mentioned...did she have any other identity in Chu before?"
"Yes! It's the envoy from Wei State before! His name is Cao...Cao Bang!" Zhang Xian said immediately.
White picture: ???
"Cao Bang? Madam Xiahou?" Bai Tu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it.
Under Bai Tu's questioning, Zhang Xian finally told what he knew from the beginning.
However, Zhang Xian did not dare to ask why Lady Xiahou was here...
From his expression, Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi could already guess what kind of human drama was being played out in their impressions.
After hearing what he said, Bai Tu actually breathed a sigh of relief - firstly, Cao Bang was safe now, and secondly... the "Madam Xiahou" was obviously just a lie to get away, and Lingqi should be able to understand this... After all, Lu Lingqi also knew that Cao Bang didn't leave just to avoid her!
"Brother An Guo is really smart. He actually thought of the trick of disguising himself as a woman! Hahaha..." Bai Tu was laughing halfway when he found that Lu Lingqi was looking at him with contempt.
Seeing this, Bai Tu's face gradually hardened, and he said with some pause: "Could it be... Brother An Guo, is it really a girl?"
At this moment, Lu Bu's voice came from outside the tent: "Hard Drive, Hard Drive, your father has something to tell you!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Tu first asked Zhang Xian in a low voice: "Apart from you, are there other people in the army who know about these rumors?"
"This... probably everyone except Ji Zao's soldiers should know about it." Zhang Xian also said in a low voice.
White picture: ...
Bai Tu wanted to roll his eyes and yell angrily: Are you guys gossiping? Beep!
However, for the sake of ethics, he just kept it in mind and calmly let Zhang go first.
When Lu Bu came in, Bai Tu hurriedly said: "Godfather! An Guo... ahem, Yang Xiu is indeed quick-witted, but Miss Xiahou's escape plan has spread so widely, it's really a headache!" He emphasized first that all the previous ones were "escape plans."
"Huh? What's the plan to escape? Isn't she pregnant?" Lu Bu said with some regret.
Immediately, Lu Bu seemed to sense some kind of tangible resentment, and immediately changed his words: "Then your father will also criticize you! Aren't you on good terms with that Cao Bang? It is said that you even talked about the script all night? How come you don't even know whether she is a man or a woman!"
"The hard drive is stupid." Bai Tu admitted his mistake honestly, as there was no outsider around.
"Alas, things have come to this point. Now rumors are spreading. You must take responsibility!" Lu Bu said with great sorrow.
"This... I will have people focus on publicizing and refuting the rumors later." Bai Tu said cautiously.
"Refute the rumor? What's the use of refuting the rumor! Will it make people think that Lingqi is intolerant? No, this is not only for your dignity as the King of Chu, but also for Lingqi... When you go back, you should take Xiahou Juan as your concubine!" Lu Bu said without any doubt.
White picture: ???
Lu Lingqi:!!!
"Remember, you must never let any rumors like Lingqi is jealous spread among the people." After Lu Bu said this, he gave his daughter a look that said "Daddy loves you."
But Lu Lingqi always felt that something seemed wrong...
But after Lu Bu finished speaking, he left "angrily".
"Lingqi, I think my godfather may have some misunderstanding..." Bai Tu turned around and said to Lu Lingqi seriously.
Lu Lingqi remained unmoved.
"Why don't you speak?" Bai Tu asked more worriedly.
"Now I'm the head of the guards, I'll settle accounts with you tonight!" Lu Lingqi pouted.
"Then... should I go pick up An Guo first?" Bai Tu asked hesitantly.
"No, it's to pick up your Madam Xiahou." Lu Lingqi rolled her eyes.
Although Lu Lingqi was indignant about Lady Xiahou's affairs, she actually did not put up much resistance - Lu Bu had only one wife, and he did not remarry after Yan's death. He wanted to marry Diao Chan as his principal wife, but Diao Chan always refused.
For example, after closing the door, Diao Chan, who was decisive, did not ask Lu Bu to do anything in this regard, but Lu Bu himself never had the intention of flirting with other women.
Lü Lingqi naturally had no contact with the idea of resisting the vulgar behavior of taking concubines in the old society...
Even Huang Yueying and Zhang Chunhua, two strong female officials of the Chu State, did not directly believe in gender equality. They were both from aristocratic families and would certainly not have thought of becoming concubines before, but they must have thought that their future husbands might take concubines.
The former's "self-improvement" is to use mechanical engineering to achieve industry and promote mechanical engineering like men, while the latter... is more inclined to poison any concubine who dares to provoke her and put an end to it once and for all.
To put it more fundamentally, what they still think is "I am a heroine", rather than "Who says women are inferior to men".
Lu Bu's emotions were very real at the beginning. Although Bai Tu was frightened when Lu Bu came in and thought he would die soon, but... in fact, Lu Bu had mentioned the matter of Zhang Chunhua to Zhang Yang before.
In this regard, the only one who felt that it was against moral values was Bai Tu...
"I don't think this is good. Women hold up half the sky, which has always been advocated by our Chu State. In the prosperity and development of Chu State, the status of men and women is equally important. The new law of the Ministry of Justice also emphasizes that husbands and wives have equal rights to dispose of and inherit family wealth..."
"Get lost." The captain of the guards never argued with the King of Chu.
"I'll go get An Guo first..."
