"General, everything is ready. Let's go." Fu Wang's trusted deputy came over in full armor. He cupped his fists and reported the situation to Fu Wang. In the dim light, Fu Wang could vaguely see the joy on Fu Wang's face. "General, we will definitely capture Liu Xi alive this time and use the truth to shut the mouths of those despicable people. I'm sure they won't dare to suspect you again …"
Fu Wang was a little lost in thought. Hearing the deputy's relieved tone, he laughed and said, "So what if they doubt me?"
He hated to be schemed by scoundrels. Those people had no other ability but jealousy. But it didn't mean that he was loyal to the Meng's.
In fact, except for Fu Yang, his former lord and adoptive father, Fu Wang had never regarded the Meng's as a serious superior.
Those scoundrels suspected that he was not loyal to the Meng's.
However, disloyalty didn't mean betrayal. The Meng's offered was quite generous, and Fu Wang had no intention of jumping ship.
His trusted lieutenant smiled and echoed, "Indeed, it's nothing, but a fly bothers people."
For Fu Wang and his trusted subordinates, the Meng's planted informants were annoying flies.
Fu Wang looked up at the sky with a rather soft expression. He said, "At midnight, the army will set off!"
There was still some time before the time to take action. The trusted deputy had nothing to do, so he asked curiously.
"General, what good things have happened to you recently? Why are you so happy?"
A few days ago, he was still gloomy, but today he seemed to have swept away the haze and looked quite happy.
In normal times, Fu Wang would definitely avoid answering.
Probably because he grew up in a wolf pack, Fu Wang had a strong desire to possess the people and things he liked. If the situation allowed it, he even had the urge to hide them so tightly that the wind and rain from the outside world would not be able to touch them.
Even when he really entered the normal society, this bad habit hadn't been completely corrected.
In recent years, the situation was much better. At least there wouldn't be such an embarrassing thing as a general always digging a hole to hide treasures under the mattress.
"He has his eyes on a woman."
The trusted assistant general gave a dull 'oh' sound. He swept his eyes over his general with a strange expression. It was clear that he didn't have high hopes for this outcome.
The general was interested in the wife, but the wife might not be interested in his own general.
Fu Wang's expression darkened as he asked, "What's with your expression?"
"Have you forgotten about the ladies of the Fragrant House, General?" the assistant general asked gently.
Fu Wang: "…"
Fu Wang was a single adult with no concubines or children. Though he was highly valued by the Meng's now, in an ancient society where bloodlines and origins were highly valued, no matter how a brat like Fu Wang could climb up and become a legend, he would still be looked down upon.
Not to mention the noble ladies, even those poor and destitute women looked down on him.
Fu Yang naturally did not want to see Fu Wang suffer, so the marriage was delayed until Fu Jue passed away from illness.
Without a family to arrange for him, Fu Wang was alone.
It was just that he also had the needs of a normal man. Logically speaking, such a golden bachelor should be the most sought after object in the brothel.
But the truth was — ever since the young and ignorant Fu Wang had been lured to a few brothels by Fu Jing's old subordinates, he had been despised.
Using the words of the few flower maidens who maintained a dewy relationship with Fu Wang for a short period of time, serving such a man was like suffering.
Oh —
After learning of this matter, there was a period of time when Fu Wang's comrades looked at him strangely.
Men, no matter how old or young, always cared about certain things.
Even Fu Yang once made dirty jokes about Fu Wang, saying that he was indeed "born brave."
He was so yellow that he could not bear to look at him.
"He's a decent man."
In other words, he wanted to "turn over a new leaf" and did not want to talk about his dark history.
The trusted deputy was quite surprised. His general's reaction was not right. It was as if he wanted to take him back to warm the kang bed.
"Which family is she from?"
Jiamen Pass was a remote and desolate place. What kind of beautiful woman could be bred from such a barren land?
Could it be that his general did not like delicacies and preferred plain porridge and side dishes?
"You talk too much."
Fu Wang said in a faint voice of disdain. The trusted deputy felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart.
At this time, Fu Wang said with the horsewhip in his hand, "Just wait until you win against Liu Xi."
The trusted deputy was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
It couldn't be — could it be that his general had fallen for Liu Xi?
What a high standard!
His taste was also quite strange.
It was said that Liu Xi had disguised herself as a man for 18 years, but no one had seen through her disguise. It was obvious that she was a "boorish man."
The image of a bearded man whining shyly and pounding on his chest suddenly appeared in his mind. He could not accept it.
Time passed quickly in the solemn atmosphere.
Fu Wang never fought a battle without preparation. He had thoroughly studied the terrain around Jiamen Pass. Even if it was dark at night, his army would not be disturbed.
To be safe, he even wrapped the horses' hooves with cloth and tied their mouths to reduce the sound of hooves and snorts.
In his eyes, he was not only a man, but also a wolf. No matter day or night, it was his home field.
After some effort, Fu Wang had already led nearly 10,000 soldiers to Jiang Pengji's camp.
Torches burned in the distance, and he could vaguely see people walking around. The camp was quiet as usual.
But for some reason, Fu Wang's heart skipped a beat. He felt that something was wrong.
However, the arrow had been nocked on the bow and had to be released. He had been planning for so many days, and he could not let it go to waste.
The trusted deputy was the first to notice his abnormality.
"General, what's wrong?"
The deputy asked in a low voice.
Fu Wang shook his head and said, "I don't know why, but I feel that something is wrong."
The trusted deputy frowned and said, "Could it be that scoundrel is causing trouble for you again?"
Fu Wang had left most of his elites and trusted subordinates at Jiamen Pass, and the soldiers he had brought with him were all close to the Meng's.
He had no choice but to bring them with him for the sneak attack.
The last time Fu Wang attacked Wolong County, he had brought Fu Wang's old subordinates, who were also his trusted subordinates. They had made a great contribution.
The soldiers close to the Meng's were dissatisfied. They thought that Fu Wang was favoring them and discriminating against them because of the unfair distribution of military merits.
It was no wonder that Fu Wang was unhappy because they were not his elites.
"No, they don't dare to be so bold. If they neglect their duty because of personal feelings, I will cut them down. "
The trusted deputy glanced behind him and said in a low voice, "Then why …"
Fu Wang said, "I can't say. I just feel a little tired …"
As time went by, he even felt that his weapon, which usually did not weigh much, had become much heavier.
It was not a good sign.
If he was talking to an outsider, he would definitely not say that his condition and mentality were not good. But he did not have to hide it from his trusted subordinate.
After saying that, before the trusted deputy could speak, he was stunned.
If it were not for the darkness of the night, others would have seen his face turn red.
Before the battle, he had hugged a beauty and done all kinds of shameful things. Was that why he felt tired?
This reason … It would be embarrassing to say it out loud.
