Chapter II Seeking Out of Account
Uncle Fu looked at Yang Xiao in a very strange way, as if he was going to find a flower from his face. He was paying a visit and invited him again. The second young master was really polite today. This was a word he had never despised using for Zuo Liangyu in the past, but now it was like a different person.
"All it was the result of the whip that scared the second young master." Uncle Fu was thinking randomly. But Yang Xiao's actions were something he was happy to see. So he hurriedly took Yang Xiao's clothes and placed them neatly on the bed.
Yang Xiao slowly stretched out his arm, picked up the jade-colored shirt on the bed, and slowly put it on his body.
"Second Young Master, let me help you!" Uncle Fu looked at Yang Xiao's painful expression and hurried forward to take a step forward.
"Don't worry, Uncle Fu." Yang Xiao didn't force himself. After saying a word, he stood there and let Uncle Fu mercy him.
After Uncle Fu put on Yang Xiao's clothes, he tied them with soap ribbons, and then picked up the soft towel with hanging belts and planned to bring them to Yang Xiao.
"It's raining outside. If you don't bring this, you'd better bring a hat!" Yang Xiao shook his head and said.
"Since the young master became a scholar, his outfit has not changed for five or six years, why has it changed suddenly today?" Uncle Fu murmured in his heart. However, he didn't ask much. After responding, he took a straw hat and gently buckled it on Yang Xiao's head. Then he turned out a straw raincoat on the foot of the tent and put it on Yang Xiao's shoulder.
"I'll go see my elder brother and I'll be back later." Yang Xiao said, then he slowly walked to the tent and reached out to lift the old cotton curtain hanging on it.
"Second Young Master?" Uncle Fu hesitated.
"Don't worry! It won't be arguing!" Yang Xiao turned around and smiled, revealing two lines of white teeth.
The door curtains were together, and the cold wind blew in the wind with drizzle.
Yang Xiao, who had been in the house for a long time and had a fever on his face, felt refreshed and his spirit was shocked. He just hesitated slightly and stepped into the wind and rain.
The sky was gloomy and dark clouds were covered with dark clouds. Except for the occasional lights near the large tents, the rest of the entire camp was pitch black.
Yang Xiao had Zuo Liangchen's memory and naturally knew where Zuo Liangyu's camp was. After looking around and making the direction, he walked towards a large tent not far away with vague lights.
It had been raining for more than twenty days in a row, and the ground was extremely slippery, and there were many low-lying areas filled with mud and water. At the beginning, Yang Xiao could still use the lights in the distance to distinguish the water shadows on the ground to avoid the water accumulation. But after only a few dozen steps, the shoes he had just put on were completely wet, and the chill was even transmitted to his feet through the upper.
To this extent, he simply stopped caring about whether there was water on the ground and walked forward directly.
"ah……"
When he was about twenty steps away from the tent, he suddenly heard a thunderous voice from the woman, with a long tremor. He was a person who had been through it, and he could hear it as soon as he heard it was the woman's voice when she was in love, and the sound came from the tent.
Women were not allowed to appear in the army, which was a crime of killing and decisive execution. But now the rioters are like ants, the frontiers are uneven, and the military discipline is broken. Killing good people often happens, and forcing the robbery of civilian women is just a trivial matter for the Ming army. Even Cao Wenzhao's subordinates, who claimed to be strict military discipline, often do such things, let alone Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, who had poor military discipline.
When Yang Xiao heard this voice, he knew that his fake brother was busy. After hesitating, he continued to step forward.
"stop!"
Just as Yang Xiao was less than ten steps away from the tent, a low voice suddenly sounded from the edge of the tent. Then two black shadows appeared, one raised the lantern high, and the light shone on Yang Xiao's face, while the other man's hand was pressed on the handle of the waist knife.
With the light, Yang Xiao clearly saw two burly men wearing soft armor. Both of them looked at Yang Xiao with a look of vigilance.
Both Yang Xiao knew these two people, who were the personal soldiers under his cousin Zuo Liangyu's tent. The big man who pressed his waist knife was also the captain of Zuo Liangyu's personal soldiers, named Zuo Kuan. As for the other person who carried the lantern, he couldn't name it.
"It's better to be an official. You have women and guards." Yang Xiao smiled in his heart and bowed seriously: "I want to see my eldest brother."
Seeing Yang Xiao's actions, Zuo Kuan curled his lips and looked up and down at Yang Xiao's eyes. He didn't know what medicine this nerd had taken wrong. Not only did he come to see the general in the middle of the night, but he also gave up his long-term airs and saluted the military man he had never looked down upon.
"The general has something to do. If the second young master wants to see the general, he might as well come tomorrow morning." Zuo Kuan refused.
Zuo Kuan looked down on Yang Xiao very much. He usually looked up at the general and was even more arrogant and disdainful to the military men. If it weren't for the general's face, such poor scholars would have killed them with a few sticks, then put them in sacks and threw them into the mountains, ensuring that they would disappear without anyone noticing. Even the people from the Jinyiwei would not find any clues when they came to investigate.
"Then I'll meet again after my elder brother finishes his official duties!" Yang Xiao was not angry, standing there straight with a smile on his face.
Yang Xiao was very close to the big tent, and his voice could clearly be transmitted into the big tent. Just as he was speaking just now, the big tent was calm and there was no sound at all. But after he said this, the voice in the big tent immediately started to sing loudly again, as if he was demonstrating to Yang Xiao.
The woman's screams were even mixed with a man's bold panting, and the sound became louder and louder, one wave higher and one wave higher than another. The sound of wind and rain outside could not suppress the most pleasant and primitive voice of human beings.
"If I were really Zuo Liangchen, I would have been angry for a long time." Yang Xiao felt a little chilled, and the whip behind him began to ache under the impact of wind and rain. He knew that Zuo Liangyu was testing his patience, so he was like a javelin tied to the ground, not moving at all, and the expression on his face did not change at all.
He didn't speak, and Zuo Kuan and the other two didn't speak. The three of them stood here and stood in a stalemate, listening to the messy sounds in the tent.
"In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs, and it is especially difficult to be a woman in a vulnerable group." Listening to the voice in the tent, Yang Xiao sighed. Although he felt a little uneasy, he did not overestimate himself to blame Zuo Liangyu like Zuo Liangchen. His life is in danger now, so he has no intention of paying attention to these things.
