The general went out again at night + extra episode

"There were some problems on the way back, so it was delayed. Where is Mr. Zhao Ge, are you leaving?"

"As soon as he left, you came back, General. Did you avoid him on purpose?" Liu Qi asked.

Chapter 13 Servant Qu Yong (Revised)

"Why should I avoid him? It's true that I was delayed by something on the way." Xia Qingshu narrowed his eyes, looked at the direction where the group of people disappeared, and said faintly: "But unexpectedly, they waited patiently for so long Long."

"Hey, General, now that we have really formed a relationship with the Zhao family, you have to be more careful in the court in the future."

"As for the court affairs, I, Xia Qingshu, sit upright and walk straight, and I am not afraid of them. It's just that I didn't come back at the agreed time today. It is indeed the general's disrespect. Uncle Liu, go and prepare some gifts and send them to Zhao's mansion. Sorry."

"Okay." Liu Qi agreed.

Liu Qi got Xia Qingshu's order, found some rare things in the storeroom and sent them to Zhao Ge's old mansion.But the person who gave the gift brought back the gift intact, and the Zhao family refused to accept it.

Liu Qi hurriedly reported the matter to Xia Qingshu again. After hearing this, Xia Qingshu just nodded, indicating that she already knew about it and didn't take it to heart, and continued to read the wounded people's confession.

Seeing Xia Qingshu's indifference towards this matter, Liu Qi couldn't help but feel a little anxious. It's okay to offend the court elder.Moreover, the general and His Royal Highness the eldest princess did not deal with it. If the two got angry together, the general's achievements over the years would be reduced to ashes, and his life might not even be saved.

"General, my subordinates have something to say, boldly speak up."

"You said so."

"After all, the general is an official in the court, so you must not offend too many dignitaries. If these people join forces to suppress you, general, I'm afraid..."

Xia Qingshu interrupted Liu Qizhi's words: "What happened today was our rudeness, but we have made up for the etiquette that should be made up. If they don't accept it, it's their problem, and it's their narrow-mindedness. If you offend me, I will make up for it. They had already offended them when the matter was sent to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion for judgment. The fire had already started, and it didn't count what they Zhao Mansion said, nor what I Xia Qingshu said, it was the law that had the final say. Uncle Liu, don't think so much..."

"Then the general and His Royal Highness the eldest princess shouldn't be so tense, they have to give gifts and move around..."

"How can Her Royal Highness be confused with these filthy people... Hey, Uncle Liu, it's late, so don't worry about it, go back to your room and rest." Xia Qingshu stood up from the desk, pushed Holding Liu Qi's shoulders, he walked towards the door.

Liu Qi wanted to speak again, but Xia Qingshu stretched out her "pig's trotter" in front of her mouth and made a silent movement, then pulled the door of the study to send him out.

Turning his head, he saw that the door of the study room had been firmly closed. Liu Qi sighed softly, and walked towards the front yard.It's still early, he has to manage such a huge general's mansion, and there are many chores, how can he go back to his room so early to rest?

The general didn't let him take care of court affairs, but the miscellaneous affairs accumulated in the mansion still had to be dealt with.

For example, the gift returned by the Zhao family just now needs to be registered and stored; for example, it rained heavily last night, and several leaky eaves in the backyard need to be repaired...

While sorting out the order and arrangement of chores in his mind, Liu Qi walked along the corridor towards the front yard.Suddenly, a person walked forward with his head bowed and bumped into him.

"Ouch!" Liu Qi, who was very old and thin, was knocked back two steps by the man in front, staring at him.

"Butler Liu!" The person in front exclaimed, seeing that the person hit was Liu Qi, he was shocked, he quickly let go of his hand covering his head, took a big step forward, and supported Liu Qi With a shaking body, he bent down and apologized, "I'm sorry, Steward Liu, I didn't see you ahead."

Liu Qi's dizzy eyes widened, and he saw the face of the person in front of him clearly: "Qu Yong?"

"It's me." Qu Yong supported Liu Qi and sat down on the wooden chair beside the corridor, his face was full of apology: "Butler Liu, please sit down slowly, I didn't look at the road just now."

After a while, the dizziness in Liu Qi's head disappeared a lot, but the place where the collision still hurt, he gently rubbed it with his hands, and said slowly: "Didn't I send you to find the general? Wet, come back so late?"

"I couldn't find the general anywhere in the inner city, so I went to the outer city to look for it. After searching for a long time in the outer city, I still couldn't find the general."

"The general has already returned home, how did you get so wet?"

Qu Yong replied: "Didn't it rain heavily this morning? There was a drainage canal in the outer city that was blocked, and the streets and lanes in the low-lying areas were flooded. I guessed that the general might be there to check the disaster situation of the people and looked for it. As a result, the village There was a family who wanted to plant trees at the door, and they dug a few large planting holes, and I fell in without paying attention, and my whole body was wet."

After listening, Liu Qi said angrily: "That family is really careless, the tree has not been planted, Xué should use something to block it, or give a reminder."

"There should be a reminder, but I was in a hurry and didn't notice it."

"Hey, your face is still green, did you knock it when you fell?"

"Yes." Qu Yong nodded.

"I've been worrying about my head for the past two days. After being bumped by you, it's cleared up a lot. I'm fine, but you should pay more attention when you walk next time. Alright, it's so cold, go and change your clothes quickly. Otherwise, you will get sick, I ordered the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles, you can eat after changing your clothes."
