Huo Feng just stood quietly for a long time without saying a word.

Jing Gang scratched his head and thought for a while, and then advised: "Miss Huo, I actually admire you very much. A girl's family dares to lead a group of women's soldiers to fight. There are so many ladies in the world, but there are very few female generals. You really don't need to force yourself. Isn't it better to find a man who knows how to appreciate you?"

"Brother Jing, have you ever liked someone?" Huo Feng continued to be silent for a long time, suddenly looked up at Jing Gang and asked this question.

"No, I am a rough man, and I will not have the same feelings as your young lady." After Jing Gang finished speaking, he saw Huo Feng showing a look that you wouldn't understand, so you quickly added, "Even if you don't understand, I can still know that there is one thing I can do. People cannot just care about themselves, regardless of other people's feelings. Miss Huo, you have caused trouble to Marshal Zhao like this, do you know?"

Huo Feng's face suddenly turned red and he said, "The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. What's wrong with me?"

"This... I can't say it well, but Marshal Zhao clearly doesn't mean this. If you do this, let everyone around you say you are a good girl. To persuade Marshal Zhao to marry you together, it's equivalent to everyone forcing Marshal. Is it right?" Jing Gang looked at Huo Feng and continued to persuade, "Of course, this is not your fault. After all, it's all that I'm bad. I'm a rough man and a bandit. Sometimes I don't care about the occasion. I'm a dirty word. I'm a nonsense to you and make you misunderstand. It's my bad thing, and I slap myself."

Jing Gang said that he wanted to slap himself.

"Brother Jing..." Huo Feng wanted to stop Jing Gang, but he thought that men and women would not kiss each other, so he stopped.

Jing Gang slapped himself twice, then said, "Miss Huo, I am a rough man, and I won't make any big mistakes. But Marshal Zhao really doesn't mean to marry. You are like this... it's like forcing him to ask everyone to persuade him to marry you. This is really bad."

Huo Feng lowered his head and then looked up for a long time before he asked, "Does Marshal Zhao really have someone he likes? What does the person he likes look like? Where is she now?"

Jing Gang breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Feng was a generous woman after all, and he would not cry and shout like some stingy women. He would be willing to be a maid for Zhao Boyang. This would make people feel embarrassed. Since Huo Feng was not hesitant, he said the truth: "What I said before is true, but Miss Huo. I really have no other meaning. Don't be too careful... After all, this matter is related to the reputation of other women, and you can't talk about it everywhere, right? I can only say that Marshal Zhao does have people he likes. As for what he looks like, I am not familiar with that girl. I am a rough man and can't explain it clearly. He is a lady from a noble family. He is very smart. He is good-looking, understanding and kind-hearted..."

"Then why can't she be together with Marshal Zhao...?" Huo Feng couldn't help asking, pondering for a long time, "Is it the princess who got engaged to Marshal Zhao back then? She has a noble background. It must be her."

"I said it, I really don't know this. Marshal Zhao's character is not about his personal affairs." Jing Gang was vague, not lying. It was because Zhao Boyang did not really admit that he liked Miss Su in front of him, although he knew it.

Thinking of Miss Su Jiu, a kind-hearted person, is also loyal, but sometimes he is quite stubborn, and even paranoid. When he helped Zhao Boyang make a comeback, he gave everything, but he was always hidden behind him. After Zhao Boyang gained a foothold, he quietly left, making Zhao Boyang almost depressed again.

Fortunately, Zhao Boyang has experienced great ups and downs. He knew that decadence and despair would be useless, so he turned all his energy on military affairs.

Although he is a rough man and his mind is not so sensitive, he can still notice that Zhao Boyang still likes Miss Su Jiu. Other women will not take it seriously. He may think that one day, he will meet Miss Su Jiu again...

"It must be her." Huo Feng murmured, "Marson Zhao asked for an imperial edict for her and never took a concubine for the rest of his life. He must have liked her very much."

"Maybe." Jing Gang remembered that he had been asking the scholar who was the best at liaring girls in the past, how can a woman give up? The scholar said a lot of literary words with slick mouth, but he couldn't understand it. Huo Feng was not a girl who read a lot, and he didn't want to listen to those literary words. He said directly, "Miss Huo, you like Marshal Zhao, it's not wrong to think about it, but you have to think about it for Marshal. You have done so much that the brothers around you moved me, and kept persuading the Marshal to marry you. Your father and mother were even more worried. Isn't this force the Marshal? If you like someone, you must accept you?"

"No, I didn't think so. I just changed myself and pleased someone I like. Is this wrong?" Huo Feng felt very wronged.

"But the marshal is right. It's not that a girl likes her, and he will accept it if she really wants to give her to her and use all the methods to change it." Jing Gang thought about it and then thought about the crowd of words that the scholar said about his children's love. There were not many sentences he remembered, and he couldn't explain the truth.

Huo Feng has another expression that you don’t know.

Jing Gang had no choice but to say, "Like Miss Huo, there are actually many men who like you in the army. Could it be that he has made a lot of efforts? You will accept it? He is so opposed to others. Even if he finally promised to marry you, it is not because he likes you, maybe because he sympathizes with you, pity you, or respects your father. Are you willing? Even if you are willing, don't you feel wronged that the Marshal is forced to marry a woman he doesn't like?"

Huo Feng's face turned red again. The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Is Jing Gang's words saying that she was shameless?

Jing Gang is a bit rude, but he doesn't even look at him at all. Seeing that Huo Feng's expression was really bad, he stopped talking and said, "Miss Huo, think about it carefully. People should not only care about themselves, but have to think about it for others. For example, your parents, when I came, your mother looked at me very badly. I think she was worried about you."

After Jing Gang left.

Huo Feng stood alone on the hillside to have a breath of wind.

It was sunny in the afternoon, but the wind was strong on the hillside, and she felt cold all over until Mrs. Huo came over.

When Mrs. Huo saw her daughter's expression, she knew that her daughter had been hit. She didn't ask what Jing Gang said, but just gently held her daughter's hand and said softly, "Go back to the house."

I decided on a few words. Perhaps the tone was too gentle, which made Huo Feng feel even more aggrieved, and he couldn't help but cry and fell into his mother's arms.

Mrs. Huo gently hugged her daughter and comforted her: "Don't be sad, everything will pass. It's no big deal."

Huo Feng cried aggrievedly: "Why? Why can't Marshal Zhao just like me?"

"Silly kid, what are you saying stupid things?" Mrs. Huo took off her cloak and criticized her daughter, and sighed, "Why did Marshal Zhao like you? Just because you are infatuated? Because you have a father with his right hand? Or because you are unparalleled, gentle and considerate? Think about Miss Wu, she is not very infatuated. She did not work hard to learn the rules like you, but she knew that she could not be the Marshal's wife, and would rather not be famous than follow the Marshal. For a woman, it was also a great sacrifice. You were a lady who looked down on Miss Wu before, but after falling in love with Marshal Zhao, you learned everything you didn't like before, and you thought it was a dedication. This was hard work, but I didn't know that in the eyes of others, this was also stupid."

"Mom, is this stupid?" Huo Feng didn't believe it. Many people still admire her. Supporting her to become the marshal's wife is the best recognition.

No matter how good a girl is, Mrs. Huo knows that sometimes she should give her daughter a headache at the right time. "Ms. Wu speaks in a quiet voice, and she can finish her sentences. She must say it slowly in three sentences. She eats less than birds. She has to spend about an hour cleaning everything before going out. From clothing, hairpins, to rouge colors, she really likes to waste her time on these things? With this skill, she can go around the garden, appreciate flowers, tease fish, and do things that really make her happy."

Huo Feng remembered that he had gotten along with Miss Wu for a long time, which was indeed as his mother said. Miss Wu sometimes didn't like this, but there was no way. Her father was a salt merchant and was afraid that others would say that their family was a nouveau riche and vulgar, so Miss Wu asked herself so much and did not dare to relax at all.

She used to look down on Miss Wu, but now thinking about it, what is the difference between me and Miss Wu? In the eyes of some people, she is also pretentious.

Mrs. Huo continued: "I know that your behavior has been approved by many people recently, including your father's colleagues, Marshal Zhao's counselors, etc., but you must know that they support you, not because you like it, but in terms of the current situation, you are suitable to be Marshal Zhao's wife, and Marshal Zhao at this time is indeed time to marry a wife, that's all."

"Since that's the case, it's okay for me to persevere!" Huo Feng felt that it was the best place for the people he liked to give.

"It's true in theory, but many things cannot be said in theory." Mrs. Huo thought about it, and should tell her everything thoroughly to her daughter, so that her daughter would not have any fantasies. She also said, "Everyone in the world knows that General Zhao is a person with deep affection. She didn't want to resist foreign enemies. She also asked for an imperial edict to marry only one person. I don't know how many girls in the world envy the girl who is about to become a hero's wife, but what's the result?"

"Marson Zhao is for justice." Huo Feng couldn't help but defend his sweetheart, "It is worthy of admiration for his children's love for justice."

Mrs. Huo sneered, "Those are all high-sounding words. How can peace between the two countries be maintained by a small marriage? But under the circumstances at that time, if you don't sacrifice this marriage, you will have to sacrifice more things. In contrast, sacrificing the happiness of a woman is good for everyone. Is there really no other way at that time? I don't believe it."

"No one knows the situation at that time. Marshal Zhao really has his own difficulties. He can't risk another war." Huo Feng continued to speak for Zhao Boyang, "Most people do this at this time."

Mrs. Huo did not criticize Zhao Boyang too much, and said: "It's all right to do national justice. My mother tells you something that you don't know, or something my mother heard by chance. Everyone knows about Jing Gang. Marshal Zhao rose up and the brothers in Jing Gang's village were the first to follow, and the greatest contribution was made. If one day... they will be founding heroes."

"Of course this daughter knows, so Brother Jing and Marshal Zhao have a deeper relationship than others." Huo Feng said as he remembered what Jing Gang said just now, that must be Marshal Zhao's intention. Marshal Zhao was politely rejecting him, and he suddenly felt his heart shining.

"But many people don't know how Jing Gang became a bandit." Mrs. Huo said slowly, "Jing Gang was wanted by the government because he broke into the powerful house of the capital with a group of brothers, killed someone, and held a noble lady hostage."

Huo Feng was stunned for a moment. She knew that Jing Gang was a bandit, but she always thought that Jing Gang was a hero who robbed the rich and helped the poor. She broke into a powerful family and killed people and held a woman hostage. She had never thought about it. Of course, Jing Gang was not close to her, and what kind of person she had had nothing to do with her. Marshal Zhao was strict in governing the army. Under his command, most of the soldiers were obedient, but there were also a small number of scum. More people also did things that harmed the world in the past, and now they wanted to live a different way.

She didn't quite understand why her mother told her this? Is she asking her to have less contact with Jing Gang in the future?

Mrs. Huo listened for a while, and after her daughter digested the information, she looked into her daughter's eyes and said, "The one who was killed was a boy less than ten years old. As for the noble lady who was held hostage, she was Marshal Zhao's previous fiancée, the princess who was later married to the Prince of Great Zhou."

"How is this possible?" Huo Feng opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it.

Mrs. Huo said: "This is a true matter. If you don't believe that you can ask Jing Gang or ask Marshal Zhao directly. I don't agree with some of the things they have, but I still believe that they are heroes who dare to act and be brave. If you ask, they will definitely tell the truth. Of course, I believe more that they have difficulties and reasons for being easily forgiven, but whether they should be forgiven is not the final say of outsiders."

...

On the other side, Jing Gang returned to the Marshal's Mansion.

When he entered Zhao Boyang's study, he looked at Zhao Boyang with a bitter face and said, "Marson, in the future, you can let me go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, or even dig channels, move bricks and build city walls, but don't let me deal with women. This is the hardest errand in the world."
