Chapter 96: My Little Soft Husband-in-law: He Has Low Self-Esteem 13

The next day, news came from the village, news that Jiang Zuilan expected.

Lu Su was shocked when he heard this, "The village chief slipped and fell to his death?!"

Lu Su subconsciously looked at Jiang Zuilan, was it his wife who did it?

No, no, we can’t let others know. This matter has nothing to do with the wife. The village chief just slipped and fell to his death!

"Well, I'm going out." Jiang Zuilan ignored Lu Su's worried and flustered expression and walked directly out.

Now she had to go to Li Zheng and bribe Li Zheng to choose his second aunt as the village chief, so that Lu Su could live more comfortably as the village chief.

What happened next went very smoothly. Li Zheng paid the second aunt to become the village chief. This made the second aunt both surprised and a little panicked. She had never been a village chief before, could she be a good one?

Jiang Zuilan didn't care about that and told his second aunt to take more care of Lu Su.

He also spread word to the village that he had taken away all the money from the blind bear seller, so that he hoped Lu Su could live a low-key life in the village.

After doing this, the conscripts have arrived.

Jiang Zuilan left more than 600 taels of silver to Lu Su, and only took a few taels of silver with him to prepare for emergencies.

Regardless of Lu Su's scorching eyes, he followed the recruiting officers and soldiers and left calmly.

That free and easy back made Lu Su's eyes darken, and a strong feeling of loss made him clenched his hands involuntarily, and he didn't realize it until the veins protruded.

How could the wife abandon herself like this?

How could she leave without any scruples?

Has she wanted to leave him a long time ago?

Think about the last time he asked his wife if the owner would kick him out?

The wife only said that this place would always be his home and she would never drive him away.

But now she's gone, she's gone!

I am the only one left in this family. Without her, what kind of family would this be?

Without you, I have nothing.

It turns out that the wife has never cared about him. He is so ugly and yet he still wants to be liked by the wife. It is really ridiculous!

As time passed, Lu Su's heart gradually sank. She really... didn't like him...

His eyes gradually became blurry, his heart felt so uncomfortable, he felt like he couldn't breathe, he felt so uncomfortable, he... hurt so much!

She lied to him! Was her kindness to him also a lie to him?

She was so heartless. From the beginning to the end, he only saw her back, so free and easy, like a fish entering the sea and running towards the free sky. She never looked back at him, she abandoned herself!

It felt like his mind was in a mess and his heart felt very uncomfortable. He only knew that he felt so uncomfortable and that he really hurt...

His face gradually turned pale and his lips pursed into a straight line.

The loss, sadness, pain, and helplessness in his heart... He seemed to be immersed in his own world, and he didn't know what the people next to him were saying.

There seemed to be a voice in his ears laughing at him, being abandoned, and laughing at his pretentiousness!

Time passed little by little, from the bright sun to the willow branches above the moon, Lu Su was still standing in the yard, his nails dug into his palms, and his flesh was already bloody, but he didn't feel anything.

Gradually, his eyes became gray, crazy, and twisted, and the initial cowardice in his eyes was gradually eroded by darkness. He wanted to become powerful, he wanted to be strong, he wanted to become stronger than her!

Will she look up to herself then? Will she be able to see herself?

He didn't know, but he knew that if things were like this, he would never fall in her eyes for the rest of his life. He wanted to become strong, and he wanted to find her! So that she would never be able to leave him in the future! If she dared to leave him,

Then imprison her, then she can be with him forever!

Right, that is it!

Lu Su's eyes were full of crazy paranoia, he didn't want to be abandoned by her again!

Jiang Zuilan didn't know whether Lu Suhei had turned black or not. Their group and the people from other villages gathered together, numbering tens of thousands. They walked for four or five days before arriving at a city, Yuzhou City.

They entered through the rear city gate. Sandbags were piled up at the city gate and blocked by a fence. The front city gate faced the Shuiyun Kingdom. If an enemy attacked, they would attack from the front through that gate.

Looking at this posture, it looks like the enemy is about to attack the city. Yuzhou City is indeed very close to the border city of Shuiyun Kingdom. The border of Shuiyun Kingdom is two hundred miles away.

The leader of the conscription army asked these newly recruited soldiers to help transport rolling logs, thunder stones, kerosene, and crossbows, which were tools for defending the city.

No wonder there was a sudden conscription, it was because the border was tight.

This kind of posture has never been seen by farmers in these villages. Many people retreated when they saw this situation, and some even wanted to incite others to stir up trouble and run away.

It's just that these officers and soldiers have killed people before, so why would they make such a fuss? After a few of the troublemakers were shot dead on the spot, everyone was very aware of current affairs and accepted the arrangement honestly.

Fortunately, although these soldiers were tough, their military discipline was pretty good, and they, the new recruits, had the little corps commander to provide them with accommodation.

Moreover, the little corps leader promised that as long as they worked honestly, not only would they be able to return home intact after the war, but they would also receive ten taels of silver in military expenses. If there were casualties, there would be pensions. He would not treat them badly.

As soon as they heard that there was money available, these people stopped making trouble. Jiang Zuilan stepped forward and put a rolling log on his shoulders.

Carrying the rolling logs from the warehouse to the city tower, I saw that the army outside the city had been deployed. The sparse arrows were shot from outside the city to the city tower. Some could not even get up the city tower, and some were shot directly at the city tower.

Some shot at the soldiers from upstairs.

The soldiers on the tower held big shields in their hands, and some archers shot arrows down the tower.

The first few waves were exploratory shots, but soon a large number of arrows flew up the tower, and many people were hit by the arrows.

Jiang Zuilan dodged a few arrows with sharp eyes. At this time, the city wall became dangerous. From time to time, soldiers who were shot and fell or recruits who were recruited fell down.

However, most of the soldiers had armor for self-defense. It was the new recruits like them who only wore some simple military uniforms made of vines, so the casualties were relatively low.

I saw a tall, muscular woman looking down at the tower with a haughty expression.

"These bastards from Shuiyun Kingdom don't dare to fight happily on the battlefield, so they only know how to shoot cold arrows. Come on, go to the battlefield and fight for three hundred rounds! I, Zhao Sanhu, will kill them all!"

The woman's loud voice successfully attracted the attention of people nearby.

Suddenly, the woman who called herself Zhao Sanhu scratched her head irritably. In the blink of an eye, she saw Jiang Zuilan walking steadily on the tower carrying a rolling log. Occasionally, one or two arrows shot at her, but she easily dodged them.

"Hey! What's your name!" A loud female voice sounded, and everyone followed her gaze and looked at Jiang Zuilan.

Jiang Zuilan slowly raised his head and saw that the woman was asking about him, so he said: "Jiang Zuilan."

The woman shouted unhappily: "You speak too quietly!"

Because the woman was unhappy, her voice unconsciously raised several decibels, successfully attracting the attention of the people next to her.

There were several people following her, and the armor on those people was obviously better than that of ordinary soldiers.

Zhao Sanhu raised his chest and raised his head, saying: "A woman should have a loud voice and be full of femininity! How can she act like a man?"

"Looking at you, you are pretty good at it. Follow me from now on!" After Zhao Sanhu finished speaking, he motioned to the person next to him.

A soldier wearing armor next to him said to Jiang Zuilan, "Thank you for your promotion, General Zhao!"

"Thank you, General Zhao, for the promotion." Jiang Zuilan slightly bent his right knee, arched his hands, and performed a military salute.

I didn't expect that man was actually a general. He was attracted by a general as soon as he arrived. What kind of bad luck was this?

After following Zhao Sanhu on his inspection of the city tower, Jiang Zuilan discovered that the enemy had been tentatively attacking the city. After a few casual charges as a pretense, Jiang Zuilan was already preparing to stop fighting.

After confirming that the general of Shuiyun Kingdom on the other side was a coward, Zhao Sanhu felt relieved and climbed down the city wall.

"Do you dare to rush out with me and kill her mother, the coward from Shuiyun Kingdom?!" Jiang Zuilan raised her eyes and saw that Zhao Sanhu was actually asking her.

"Why don't you dare?" Jiang Zuilan didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows. At this time, people have asked, can you still say you don't dare? That's impossible.

"Okay, come fight out with me!" Zhao Sanhu shouted with a loud smile as he mounted his horse.

Looking back, he saw that Jiang Zuilan had no horse, so he quickly ordered someone, "Someone will lead her horse and bring her weapons!"

Jiang Zuilan looked at the tall horse in front of him, got on his horse without hesitation, and took the spear handed by a soldier.

Fortunately, I knew how to ride a horse when I was in the Jianghu plane, otherwise it would be too late to learn now.

"Okay, rush!" Zhao Sanhu was even more happy to see that Jiang Zuilan could ride a horse. He raised his hand and made a gesture to the man guarding the city gate, and the heavy city gate was opened immediately.

A group of people jumped out on horses. Zhao Sanhu was indeed a general who was very brave on the battlefield. He picked off several people and then turned to look at Jiang Zuilan in the crowd.

At a glance, I saw that the man on the horse was not panicking, and he was swinging his spear powerfully. Although it seemed to be unorganized, he was able to dismount the enemy.

Zhao Sanhu secretly said, OK!

Then he turned back and concentrated on fighting the enemy.

This was a tentative siege, and it was not fierce. It didn't take long for the enemy to withdraw their troops.

After the brief battle, everyone was busy treating the wounded soldiers and burying the corpses. At this time, Zhao Sanhu, as the commander-in-chief, naturally had no time to spare.

Zhao Sanhu rode up to Jiang Zuilan, patted Jiang Zuilan's shoulder with admiration, and asked, "Where did you learn this good kung fu?"

Jiang Zuilan knew that Zhao Sanhu might be a little suspicious, or maybe it was just pure confusion. No matter what, she still told the truth, "My parents died young, and I usually make a living by hunting in the village."

"Yes, she is a female man! You take her to find a place to live, preferably close to my government office, and she will follow me from now on." After Zhao Sanhu finished speaking, he gave a few words to his confidant, which was already considered very good.

Pay attention to Jiang Zuilan.

Jiang Zuilan naturally wanted to say thank you. After all, she was a new recruit. Wouldn't she be flattered to be treated with such courtesy by a young general?
