The general went out again at night + extra episode

"Five days, wait another five days, if the imperial court still doesn't pay the military salary, I will write to my old friend and ask her to borrow some food." Xia Qingshu paced in the room with arms folded.

Ji Qianyao was surprised: "Who has the ability to afford the rations of tens of thousands of soldiers?"

"There are many merchants in the south of the Yangtze River who are rich. In the old days, I was lucky enough to befriend one person. He was the richest of the rich, and he was also a heroic and courageous person. It shouldn't be a problem to borrow some food. It's just that it's a trouble to her in the end. If it's not the last moment, we will Would not choose this path.”

"Who is that person?"

"My surname is Yang, and my name is Xiyu. She is the daughter of a cloth merchant in Zhejiang. She lost her father when she was young. She started a business with her mother at the age of 14. At the age of 17, she was in charge of the family property and managed it in an orderly manner. Now she is only 23 ears, and the scale of Yang's cloth shop has been expanded by three years. times." As he spoke, Xia Qingshu's eyes showed approval.

Ji Qianyao caught it, and was alert in his heart: "You are so proficient in business at such an age, you are also a strange woman in the world, when did you meet?"

"When Hongsu was traveling for two years, he happened to meet her. Seeing her in danger, he rescued her."

"Oh? What happened to her?" Ji Qianyao asked more and more carefully, feeling sour in his heart.She originally thought that Xia Qingshu's unrestrained temperament would not be easy to "attract bees and butterflies", but Ji Qianyao was wrong, it was precisely because of her unrestrained temperament that she made many friends and attracted many bees and butterflies.Xia Qingshu also has the grace to save this Miss Yang, maybe she has secretly agreed with her long ago, waiting for the opportunity to set Xia Qingshu up.

"I met mountain bandits on my way and wanted to rob them of money. They were defeated, so I rescued them."

"Are you still in contact after the rescue?" Ji Qianyao's jealous jar was overturned, and acid water was bubbling out.

"A few letters are not considered familiar. They are just traveling together for a while in the old days. They know how to be chivalrous and courageous, and help those in need. It shouldn't be difficult to borrow some food." Xia Qingshu has her own principles: "It's just that I don't like to cause trouble to others in the end. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not write to ask for it."

"There is still a period of time, let's look at the situation in Beijing and China."

When the two were talking, Liu Yan came to find him, and said through the curtain: "General, Doctor Jiang invites you to come over and talk about the tree coffin and wooden box."

"Got it, I'll pack up and go." Xia Qingshu had to deal with business, so naturally he couldn't stay in the camp with Ji Qianyao.She turned her head, and wanted to smile apologetically, but Ji Qianyao looked at her with a frown, and asked in doubt: "What did you tell me about the tree coffin man? Is it true?"

Xia Qingshu forgot about this. After the night of fun, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess liked to hear interesting stories from her in the camp. She mentioned a few strange things about the tree coffin man that day, but His Highness didn't believe it, so she called it a random fabrication.

But this matter is true, not fabricated.Xia Qingshu needs to explain to her carefully: "Really, I never lied to you."

"Is there really a half-human, half-demon thing in the world?"

Xia Qingshu nodded solemnly: "Yes. In order not to cause commotion, there is no rumor about this matter, only a few confidants and Doctor Jiang know about it."

"What is the wooden box that Liu Yan just mentioned?"

"Before the tree coffin man attacked the barracks, I gathered the strength of nine generals to kill him. The tree coffin man met the enemy with his right hand from the beginning to the end, and held a wooden box in his left hand. I felt strange. After his death I took it off afterward, but the wooden box looks small but is extremely strong. I tried my best, but I couldn’t open it. It happened last winter month. Not long after I killed the tree coffin man, His Majesty issued a decree calling me back to Beijing , this matter can only be referred to Xueqin for the time being. She has also solved the mystery of the wooden box for a long time. The day you arrived at the barracks, she told me how to open the box, and we took out a thin slice from inside."

The more Ji Qianyao listened, his brows frowned deeper: "Have you ever dealt with the tree coffin man? How does its kung fu compare with yours?"

"I didn't fight with it. The tree coffin man came to the barracks three times, all of which were resisted by his subordinates. The first two times injured dozens of soldiers. The third time, I had a plan and gathered the strength of nine generals to kill him. " Xia Qingshu lowered his eyes, and said seriously: "If I fight it alone, I will probably be invincible."

"Basically lost?" Ji Qianyao was stunned, Xia Qingshu's force was one of the best in Dayan, and a person with such high martial arts skills still said that he was probably lost to the enemy. One can imagine the horror of the tree coffin man.

Chapter 46

"I sent a lot of people to investigate in the southern border, but I haven't found any useful information yet. Where did they come from? What is the purpose? Is there anyone behind the scenes? We don't know at all." After a pause, Xia Qingshu continued: "The good news is, Since Dongyue, in the following months, the tree coffin man has not come back, nor has he heard such strange things from the people. If there is only this one in the whole world, and we kill it, it will be a great luck."

Ji Qianyao said worriedly: "I'm afraid that it's still hidden in the dark, harboring evil intentions."

"Do your best and know the destiny, you don't have to worry too much." Xia Qingshu comforted Ji Qianyao while holding Ji Qianyao's hand.

Now that Ji Qianyao knew about it, he naturally wouldn't just sit idly by: "Doctor Jiang, I'll go with you, maybe I can be of some help."

"Okay, let's go together."

The sun has been shining brightly for the past few days, and the temperature has picked up during the day. Jiang Xueqin ordered his men to move out the flame wood placed in the greenhouse and place it in the sun.After the tree coffin man died, a sapling grew out of his chest, and his whole body gradually decayed and disappeared, as if absorbed by the sapling, which was very strange.
