C63 An Excessive Punishment
The battle between the princes triggered by the position of marshal was finally suspended with the King of Justice, Ji Jiang, in battle attire. Although the battle had come to a halt, the conflicts hidden in the army needed time to be dealt with. The three armies of the King of Justice regained their calm after Qii Liufeng mediated many times. Ji Jiang then reorganized the troops according to the will of the Imperial Advisor. It took more than ten days to raise the morale of the troops.
The aircraft was lost after a slight jump. The casualties were negligible and gave the Zhang Province army a chance to reorganize. The tens of thousands of defending troops that retreated from Mt. Mang took this opportunity to obtain the most suitable arrangement for themselves.
After careful calculation, in truth, the Zhang Province did not defend for 40 days. At most, it only lasted for 20 or so days. However, these 20 days of battle was indeed the toughest siege for the three main armies.
The princes had their own ulterior motives for coveting the position of marshal. Although the Grand Marshal had five thousand more direct descendants in his hands, these five thousand were the surrendered soldiers of the Zhou army. The king, Ji Jiang, insisted that the surrendered soldiers would not be able to participate in this battle. There were really very few soldiers that Ji Cheng, the marshal, could use. Halfway through the battle, they heard that Emperor Zhou Wen had fled long ago. The entire army was even more discouraged. They fought, stopped, and stopped. After attacking for more than 20 days, the city walls of Zhang Province had not been torn at all.
In truth, Zhang Province had not been taken down by the righteous army. The moment the battle began, the defending army knew that the Emperor had fled. If it had not been for the protection of the civilians, the defending general would have immediately ordered the retreat to the east.
In truth, Great Zhou had given Zhang Province to Great Zheng. When the army retreated, there were still twenty thousand soldiers left. The general could not bear to see his many years of followers die. He chose to abandon the city and go east. These soldiers were also human. They were loyal and brave, and they did not deserve to die.
Fu Tine made use of this period of time to let a few hundred palace people leave the capital with books. And then... Without the books, we will not be able to cross the river. The books contain the road opened by Uncle Zhong Yi's residence. Hurry up and go to the Jolin Courtyard to receive the letter. "
Fu Tine's idea was good, but unfortunately, the people did not believe in it. Those who truly had some knowledge and knowledge would come to collect the book and help promote it along the way, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
Taking advantage of the few days of free time to arrange for the last wave of brothers to leave the capital, Fu Rong Fu Hua and a group of personal servants were still unwilling to abandon Fu Si and his brother. No matter how the two persuaded, these few people still stayed behind in the end.
The reliable 20 constabularies, together with four young masters and four loyal servants formed a small group of more than 20 people. They used the Jolin Courtyard as their home all day long, eating and spilling everything inside. The Jolin Courtyard was a large office, and it was quite spacious inside. It was actually safer for more than twenty people to stay here than the Zhongyi House.
A few days later, the news of the Emperor's escape spread to the north and south of the Great Zhou. Not a single one of the capital's officials were left alive. The various big houses and government offices were robbed one after another. The rebels and bandits were getting more and more rampant. The rebels had also gone to the Junlin Courtyard to see a house full of filial sons and grandsons dressed in linen mourning clothes. There was not a single bit of jewelry or gold. He kicked open the door and saw books and books. He browsed through a few rooms. He didn't even look at the books at the back. He turned his head and went to another place to live in the future.
Only then did Fu Tine relax her heart and let Fu Hua and Fu Rong bring the rest of the soldiers to various places to post notices. She also sent Second Servant Qiu Dong to the south gate to intercept people and patiently explained for a few days. Finally, there were civilians who came to collect the books one after another.
On the title page of each book was the signature of Fu Si's great name and the illustrated handbook of Count Gai's residence. This was a necessary procedure. Otherwise, picking up a book and crossing the river would mess up one's heart.
On this day, the Jolin Academy finally had some free time. No one came to collect the books in the afternoon. Fu Tine leaned back in the chair with her empty eyes and stared blankly at the sun shining through the window and into the house. When it landed on the mottled shadows on the ground, she was stunned. After a while, she stretched out her five fingers and grabbed a handful of sunlight, as if doing so could calm her panicked heart.
Fu Jiang felt uncomfortable seeing this, and he supported her to the side, but he could not find any words to say. Since a few days ago, her stomach had inexplicably hurt. Once the elder sister was free, she would be like this. She did not say a single word. Whenever someone answered her, they would only receive an incoherent answer. Otherwise, it would be a difficult fake smile.
"Two times of abdominal pain is exactly a month away, right?" Fu Tine suddenly said, "I remember the last time I had abdominal pain was to send daddy back to the south."
"What does big brother want to say?" Calculating the days, it was indeed a month away, "Big brother, don't think too much, it is just abdominal pain. When we go back to the river, we'll let the doctor take a look. "
"Okay." After a sound, Fu Tine raised her hand again and grabbed the sunlight that seeped in. Then, she narrowed her eyes. "If Big Brother is like this in this life, neither man nor woman, what will the outcome be?"
"Big Brother!" Fu Jiang jumped up in shock and hurriedly leaned over to the bed and said in a suppressed voice, "Why would Big Brother think like this? Daddy said that in a few years, I will think of a way to make you..."
"Daddy will have a way." Fu Tine tried her best to smile and patted Fu Jiang to comfort him. "Go to the back and see if the dinner is ready." Seeing Fu Jiang walk away step by step and turn back three times, Fu Jiang then covered his chest and closed his eyes. He muttered in an almost inaudible voice, "This punishment is too heavy."
Fu Tine did not notice anything unusual the first time her stomach hurt. She only thought that the cup of tea was playing tricks on her. A few days ago, when she felt abdominal pain again, she realized that she was already fourteen years old. In this era, women were mature early. Many girls who were fourteen years old were married. However, she had yet to develop, and there were no signs at all.
One after another, she caressed her flat chest, and Fu Tine fiercely pinched the shirt on her chest. Could it be?! Could it be that she really did not want to live a life without men or women? A chill spread from his chest to his limbs and bones, and even Yan Xia shivered at the same time.
Fu Jiang and the others had already returned with dinner. They pointed to the bed and said, "Help me move it to the window. It looks like it's going to rain."
