General Above I am Below Chapter Fourteen “A Risky Move”
Edited by Xia
E/N: For those of you who are interested, I’ve edited the previous chapters and they should all be updated shortly. (^_^)
The quality of the young Toaist nuns of Hanshan monastery was relatively high. Their skin smooth like water, their eyes has traces of the beginning of spring, gentle lovely actions, and sweet tender voices. They wore flowery silk dresses and precious stone ornaments, which increased their good looking appearances. Moreover, in the mountains of poverty with hopeless futures, the girls" wealth was scarcer than the others. Under the generosity of Xia Yu Jin, who spend money like water, everyone displayed positive enthusiasm. Displaying their fearless spirit in front of the imposing generals, their coquettish glances were even more moving than the female singers of the Qin River. It was no wonder that the generals on the boat vulgarly whistled and clapped their hands, wishing one could throw out their eyes.
Xia Yu Jin is very pleased, allowing the boat to come closer. He wants everyone to see clearly how dissolute Nanping Junw.a.n.g was! Playing in the cl.u.s.ter of flowers! Embracing left and right! Not at all inferior to the wife!
Unexpectedly, when the boat approached, he was surprised to find the whistling fellows had shut up. Ye Zhao was standing in the middle of the crowd, almost like a thorn, staring at him with ugly complexion. The atmosphere was heavy.
Right! What we need is this reaction!
Xia Yu Jin excitedly embraces the beauty showing a lot of att.i.tude.
A drunkard fellow leaned over and whispered a few words towards Ye Zhao.
Ye Zhao immediately motioned towards Xia Yu Jin with her hands, hinting for his boat to get a little closer.
Naturally, Xia Yu Jin does not comply and pulls a face at her.
Ye Zhao then grabs a rope on the side of the boat and ties it to a copper wine pot. She swings it for a few circles in the air before throwing it and hooking the pot on the railing of the opposite pleasure boat. Ye Zhao stepped on the rope and leisurely walk towards her husband"s boat.
She wants to beat him in front of so many people?!
Xia Yu Jin was a bit nervous, but then he thought if she beat him in front of people in a public place, he could report it to the Emperor and immediately ask for a divorce! Overjoyed at the unexpected good news, he gets up, straightens his back and instructs the Taoist nun to retreat back few steps. He bravely welcomes the incoming pain!
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhao, with a whole body smelling of alcohol, unsteadily walked past the rope. She examined the woman first, then looked at him. She was about to speak but she hesitated.
Xia Yu Jin smiles coldly and asked, “What are you looking at? Never seen a man visiting a brothel? Ah … sorry, I forgot you are used to drinking parties with female entertainers.”
Ye Zhao glanced again at the Taoist nun, and in low voice, she asked: “Where are the girls from?”
Xia Yu Jin raised his head and said: “This master wants to play with the woman. What do you want?”
"I didn’t mean that, don"t be so loud." Ye Zhao hugged his shoulder and pulled him into a corner. With a low voice she sneakily asked, “Commandant Cavalry Liu said your young ladies look fresh with an unusual temperament. He wants me to ask which pleasure house they belong to, so he can visit to spend time with one or two girls."
Xia Yu Jin quickly exploded. He jerked his body away, pointing a finger to Ye Zhao"s nose and asked: “Just now, you guys cheered and clapped. So it is to rob me of my girls?!”
This issue is really embarra.s.sing.
Ye Zhao paused for a long time. Finally, she turned her sight to the river, nodding heavily: “It’s almost like that……”
Xia Yu Jin was somewhat proud as he boasted, saying “Humph, even if you cover the whole Qin River with courtesans, Laozi can still obtain beauties to serve me! Can you manage it?”
Ye Zhao turned to take a glimpse of him and saw the white fox fur softly fluttering by his ear due to the cold winds. His radiant face was a bit flushed. Xia Yu Jin had on a delightful expression and was very smart looking. Ye Zhao could not help but agree and said: “Truly is a beauty.”
Xia Yu Jin waved his hand impatiently: “Anyway, I"ll play with my beauties, you go back to those bunch of dirty men.”
"Don"t talk nonsense," Ye Zhao hastily explained, “They have been following me for six years and are my good brothers who are willing to risk life and limb. I promised them after the victory, we would celebrate at Qin River. Now, we have finally came back after all the difficulties, earning success and recognition. A man"s words carry heavy weight, you can not go back on it. “
“Who cares about your things?” Xia YuJin thinks that what she says is a bit reasonable, but his heart is still very upset.
Ye Zhao hugs his shoulder again and leaned to his ear, she ambiguously asked: “It would be better if……How about you go and drink with everyone?”
Xia Yu Jin frowned and pushed away her hands in an annoyed manner.
Ye Zhao nipped his ear, grinned happily, and said, “I will introduce you to them, okay?”
Her normally rigid expression had softened a bit and the corner of her lips curved into a very warm smile. Her colored gla.s.s eyes were intoxicating. They glistened dazzlingly in the dim light and reflected within those eyes were gleaming waves under the sunshine, looking somewhat seductive.
Xia Yu Jin hesitated for a long time, but he was determined. He is ready to tactfully refuse.
Suddenly, from the opposite boat, a drunken and shirtless man rushed out. Looking at this side of the boat he shouted: “Where is the beauty? Just now you told me there is a delicate beauty with a slender waist and long legs?! “
Qiu Lao Hu was enjoying the wonderful lively scene. After seeing this sluggish fellow, who ruined the atmosphere, he angrily kicked him into the river and cursed: “What nonsense! You s.h.i.t! What slender waist and long legged beauty! That is obviously the general"s man! You still want to f*cking flirt! Did you not see everyone here shut up?!”
Ye Zhao felt the person in her arms suddenly stiffen, his face becoming more and more ugly. She was just about to explain.
Xia Yu Jin aggressively stepped on her foot, he then grabbed the soil in the flower pot and raised it towards her eyes, struggling more fiercely than a trapped tiger.
Ye Zhao reluctantly released him.
Xia Yu Jin took the opportunity to jump into the cabin and forcefully slammed the door.
Ye Zhao went and knocked on the door to apologize: “Do not be angry. The brothers are not doing that on purpose, only their eyes are mistaken for a while.”
“Get lost! You d.a.m.n terrible woman! Don"t ever appear in front of Laozi again!” Xia Yu Jin roared over the musical sounds echoing on the Qin river for a long time, “Laozi vows to the heavens! Later on, you and I are no more!”
The young Taoist nuns suppressed their smiles. Feeling nervous, they persuaded Ye Zhao to withdraw, while secretly sneaking a few looks at her, they then ran into the cabin to comfort their patron.
Ye Zhao touched her nose and dejectedly went back. There she saw each brother on the boat laughing until their belly hurt. The main culprit, Qiu Lao Hu, once again blurted out: “This young fellow is quite good. Facing such a valiant general, he knows he is not your match, but still dares to shut the door and stubbornly resist! Just like my character in those years! General has good eyes ah!”
She immediately raised her legs and fiercely kicked the b.u.t.t of this nonsense-babbling fellow, sending him down to accompany the brother in the river and then she went back to drink.
"So cold! It’s killing me!” Qiu Lao Hu was struggling in the middle of the river as he shouted, “General! You f*cker values love more than friendship, Laozi has not finished with you!”
Ye Zhao took the wine pot and smashed it while pa.s.sing: “Get lost!”
