laughing soul

"It's strange, is this the soldier brought out by the lazy Su Wanyue in my impression?"

Qiu Sheng rubbed his chin habitually and half-closed his eyes, looking at the well-trained sailors in the training ground with a puzzled look.

The two of them stayed at the gate of the training ground for a full half an hour. They had almost read the training content of the soldiers, and they were a little lost for a moment. I'm going to stand here for a whole day.I thought that if I took a good look at it, I would be able to take it back to the Jiangnan front for Han Jianhua to practice hard. Who knows that the training intensity and various technical difficulties of this army are not as low as those of the dead soldier army. This group of people has always practiced the posture of the navy, and some of them have accumulated experience for many years, and they are even better.

"It's not that he was just playing tricks to make up the numbers after Jiangnan started to be chaotic. It should be because of many years of experience that he has such proficiency. It doesn't take General Han's energy to deploy it when he brings it over." On his back, he was throwing an apple back and forth as if he couldn't rest, and suddenly stopped without warning, and broke the apple into two halves with a click, and threw half of it to Qiu Sheng. He took a bite of the crisp fruit politely, and said leisurely, "I guess he was afraid of being pulled down by you, a tyrant, after losing to Yalf, so he regained his strength and trained hard. Now I understand why he just now Is that dogleg?"

Biting the apple crisply and loudly, Chu Yu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Jiang Chen at that time, and Su Wanyue now, will be scared sick by you kid."

Qiu Sheng whistled at the somewhat noble general in military uniform, took advantage of the time when the man turned around and ran over quickly, turned his head and said with a smile: "Since the pavilion master knows, he should have stayed away from Qiu a long time ago. Don't you know that there are tigers on the mountain and go to the tiger mountain?"

Chu Yu wiped out the broken apples in two or three bites, and shook his hands vigorously, while laughing loudly: "Are you still afraid of you? Let's see who is more vicious, Master Qiu or me. I will go crazy first, and my boss will go crazy, so Chu will change her surname to yours."

Qiu Sheng looked at his unrestrained and unrestrained appearance, which was almost on his back on Xue Qianli's back. For the first time, he showed some handsome and youthful spirit. He was so happy that he squinted his eyes to appreciate the rare scenery, but he immediately wanted to fight back: " That's true, shouldn't a daughter-in-law take her husband's surname? I let you go, but you come to ask for it yourself..."

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but was interrupted by the general who was running as fast as a little leopard: "Commander!"

Qiu Sheng was taken aback, not knowing how much this man had listened to, she hurriedly looked at Chu He carefully, but she didn't see the expected shyness and anger, but she was facing a slightly curved and thin back, still trembling slightly.

Grinding her teeth silently, Qiu Sheng thought with a bit of embarrassment, "This is my apprenticeship, dare you make fun of me."

Looking at the general, his eyes were extremely serious: "Jiangnan is about to start a war, didn't Su Wanyue inform you?"

"The commander is..." There are no people who dare to call Su Wanyue's name directly in the navy barracks. A flash of green and red intersected on the general's face, but fortunately, this is also a smart man with a particularly fast brain. , even tentatively asked, "Could it be, Your Majesty?"

"Just call Qiu Ye in the army, don't waste time on superstitious etiquette, and talk about things," Qiu Sheng said lightly, "Jiangnan has not been very peaceful recently, and Yalf brought his own crap to fight Come home, I will give you and the brothers in the army three incense sticks of time to pack up the ordnance and supplies, and the warship will pass directly from the sea. The sooner you greet the helmsman, the better. Once you bring your army back, you will go to war... a few years Before Yalf came to mess with Sapo, did you lead troops into the battle?"

Probably because he is ignorant and has never seen such an emperor, the general was obviously taken aback, and after a long time of reaction he stammered: "Return to your majesty... Master Qiu, I brought it before, but... you also know the result , It is really not enough for outsiders to understand the record, I am ashamed to say it."

Hearing this, Chu Yu, who had collapsed on the horse's back and concentrated on looking at the clouds, suddenly turned over and jumped down, leaning on the big tree trunk with his back slightly slumped, frowning with a grass seedling in his mouth.

Probably because he was running too fast, and his eyes were filled with confusion, the general didn't seem to listen to Qiu Sheng's stinky fart just now, and he didn't even notice Chu He, who was completely burnt in the background. Seeing that the pavilion master performed such a big change of life in such a quiet manner, the general's goosebumps were frightened immediately: "This expert..."

Qiu Sheng grinned: "I'm next to you, the owner of the Cuiwei Pavilion. His surname is Chu. Seeing him, the face he gave must be bigger than mine. Take care of all the pretty girls and handsome guys in your place, and take a look at Lao Tzu." asked for his skin."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Yu, who was standing not far away, bent his lips and smiled at him, as if he had just finished speaking. This person is unparalleled in romance and suave, but he has a charming and handsome face, and his demeanor is hard to find in the world. He is like the breeze and bright moon, but he clearly has a three-pointed beauty.

The general clearly believed that he had no interest in Long Yangzhi, but for some reason he looked at him in a daze. Before he could blink his eyes, Qiu Sheng moved his body slightly, and looked at him neatly. He blocked it completely: "It was a battle that was sure to lose, no wonder you. It seems that you are also a veteran with some actual combat experience," clasping your hands together: "Dare to ask the general's name?"

The general was startled by his extreme lowering of his body, and almost jumped back subconsciously: "The last general, Fengqing, has a long way to go, thanks to Qiu, Master Qiu..."

He still wanted to say a few more polite words of modesty, but Qiu Sheng had already grabbed his wrist and looked at him at the same level. I will give you a military adviser, if you are familiar with the sailor, you should take it with you."

Feng Qing's eyes were opened by his simple and crude inspection method, and he thought that this person is not like a high-ranking emperor, but more like a general who lashes out at Fang Qiu. That kind of casual officer.

"Master Qiu is willing to trust the last general, Feng Qing... can't repay him."

"The Su family is a rat's den with bottomless filth. The leader's greedy general spends all his salary to enjoy a little wine, and leaves a pile of scrap metal and trash. How can guns win the battle?" Qiu Sheng waved his hands and motioned to kneel down. Feng Qing stood up straight on the ground and said, "I seem to have some impressions of you. Was it the champion of martial arts when the first emperor died? I hadn't made up my mind to knock down this hard brick of Su Wanyue. How to arrange it is all that old man Jiang Chen worried about for me, sending a piece of good material to this ghost place to see people's eyes, it is really a waste of money, I can't blame you... Get up first, brother Feng, this is not a new year It’s the holidays, and besides, I put my money bag with my wife, so I really can’t afford the new year’s money.”

The last sentence was muffled in his throat, for fear that the good-eared daughter-in-law who was leaning on the tree would hear it.

Feng Qing: "...Thank you Qiu Ye."

Qiu Sheng was very satisfied with this person's smooth change of mouth, and he has always cherished and loved talents—just now he gradually used seven or eight parts of his internal energy to test whether Feng Qing's basic skills are deep, but unexpectedly the other party faced him. Without changing his face, he caught his continuous internal moves, and he performed quite easily, and Qiu Sheng withdrew his hands again, so he still couldn't figure out where the limit of this person's internal strength was - just about to He said a few more words, but Chu Yu gave a long whistle lightly behind him.

He looked back with a smile on his face, but saw Su Wanyue running over with sweat profusely, his pig face twitching back and forth in the wind, blocking Chu Yu's figure firmly: "Your Majesty the Emperor! Little man turn up..."

Qiu Sheng's face was about to collapse completely, but when she heard the words, she turned slightly serious: "Master Su, please find a place to explain in detail slowly."

The meaning of concealment in these words is obvious, Feng Qing hurriedly said: "Master Qiu, the general will order all the soldiers to pack their luggage, and wait for Master Qiu at the training ground after three incense sticks."

It seems that this person is also good at observing words and expressions, Qiu Sheng secretly wrote down Feng Qing's name in his heart: "There is General Lao Feng...Master Su, lead the way."

Su Wanyue didn't have time to figure out how his navy general managed to establish a relationship with the hot-tempered Uncle Qiu in such a short period of time, and was urged so vaguely by Qiu Sheng that he had no choice but to get on his horse lead the way.

Chu Yu strolled over from under the tree, the distance between the two snow horses was so close, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but tilted his head and said in a low voice: "You should really wear a mask like the King of Lanling in ancient times, so that you don't lose money. Attracting bees and butterflies and flowers and grass, I am too small-minded to see others covet you."

"It's really unreasonable. Master Qiu was young and tasted the most beautiful things in the world. When it's Chu's turn to try something out, he will do everything possible to obstruct it. Why, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps?"

The long ribbons that tied his hair loosened at some point and tied around his wrists, and the long hair that fell down his shoulders covered the side of his face. Qiu Sheng couldn't see his expression clearly, so he just smiled and said, "I'm not looking back at Hua Cong lazily." What's the matter... There is basically no serious military division in the army of dead soldiers, and one is deployed from the South Camp? Who is better?"

Chu Yu pushed back all the broken hair, and got entangled with Wan Chi Bow: "You have decided to appoint this person? Just now in the training, the formation he formed was indeed more eye-catching than General Han, but it is only on paper. It can’t be compared with swords and guns, are you not afraid that he will temporarily drop the chain and show you when he goes to the battlefield?”

Leaning over and grabbing Chu Yu's white ears, Qiu Sheng said indifferently: "You have never really been in the military camp before. It takes a lot of effort to line up such a posture of troops, and it takes a lot of effort to arrange for the general to win the battle thousands of miles away. I'm a little better than you at trivial matters such as how high the requirements are... Besides, even if you want to fight the actual battle, Han Jianhua should be at a disadvantage on paper. Regardless of the overall situation, this Fengqing is in the sea after all. The one who actually fought against Yalf in the past, Lao Han has stayed in the South Camp for so many years and fought in land warfare, this time he was ordered to do it as a last resort, I am afraid that he will lose the chain."

Chu Yu looked at him quietly the whole time, and after a moment of relief, he agreed: "What you said is reasonable, there is only one thing."

Qiu Sheng turned around with a smile: "Huh?"

"You said you remembered that he was the number one scholar in martial arts handpicked by the late emperor that year..." Seeing that Su Wanyue got into a slightly old reserve granary tent, there were a few crackling noises inside, presumably it was this The man was doing his best to clean up and prepare tea, Chu Yu reined in the reins, leaned on the horse's back and joked with a smile, "Just because of your memory of forgetting what you said with your front foot, please forgive me for my treason, isn't it in Huadu? Well, I went to the deputy arsenal station to check the roster?"

Qiu Sheng: "..."

"Take a quick look at the roster of generals of the navy army, only to find that Feng Qing looks very familiar, and found out that this man is the number one scholar who was the most rebellious and playful year on the pilgrimage. You clearly know this He is the leader of the president, but he still pretends to be ignorant and asks why the name is taboo. This scene is really well acted. General Feng didn't see any flaws. It also shows that you are very smart and clever, and it is just right to show your special favor for the world's talents. "Chu Yu smacked his lips, shook his head and said, "Yes, Zizhan, you can tell nonsense with your eyes open, wait and teach me."

Wishing that Su Wanyue would pack up quickly and let them in, but this person seemed to be showing his loyalty by cleaning the tent hard, Qiu Sheng held his breath for a long time, and finally said sullenly: "Did you not leave at all? Patronizing and peeking at me at the secondary station."

Chu Yu half turned his face to raise his eyebrows and smiled: "Is there even a need for peeking? You can figure it out by pinching your fingers. Your little thought can fool Feng Qing, who has strong limbs and a simple mind. Can you hide it from me? ..." He stopped his voice suddenly, turned around after getting off his horse, and ran into Su Wanyue who was tossing and sweating head-on, and quickly reached out to support him: "Master Su, be careful."

Qiu Sheng, who had been captured by the army, was stunned for a while on the horse, and then he settled down and walked into the tent. Seeing that Chu Yu was serious, he took out a pen and paper and put it on the table. He patted the cushion on one side and called Qiu Sheng to come over.

Although I knew and seen Chu Yu's scheming as if he had opened his eyes early in the morning, but in the past, most of them were united fronts on the battlefield. Seeing how he tosses others with his hands, the shock is shocking, and there is still a feeling in his heart that he can use his power to break through. The refreshment of the enemy thirty thousand.Right now, he was guessing so accurately and minutely, and he guessed it right, suddenly felt a strange and weird feeling, as if the person in front of him was not his family, but rather like the roundworm in his stomach had become a spirit.

Trembling, he sat down next to the roundworm spirit, but saw that the other party didn't take this matter to heart at all, and calmly pushed a cup of weak tea over: "Just listen carefully, and I will remember it for you."

One sentence completely comforted him, Qiu Sheng took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, looked up at Su Wanyue who was still panting slightly: "Master Su, what did you find?"

Su Wanyue drank a large tea bowl of cold water, and took out a small book made of worn-out sea-patterned paper from his bosom: "The villain thought about it carefully, and I'm sure it has nothing to do with the prince. We can talk about each other, but when the prince was still in the rivers and lakes, he met the villain once in the southern border. The villain went to pay a visit...ah no, it was a visit...ah no no no, yes..."

"The case in Nanjiang is still being investigated, so you don't have to be so taboo." Qiu Sheng lightly brushed the broken title page of the small book, "Maybe she is just an unlucky person who was taken out in a crisis period. Don't believe the nonsense in the market if the rumors spread too hard to be true."

Su Wanyue nodded hastily: "The ancestor of the villain has some friendship with the village owner of the Nanjiang Wugu village. Although the villain has no relationship with the weird-tempered village owner, after all, he is like a senior, and he goes to visit from time to time. Unexpectedly, I met the prince there. The prince's words were cold and alienated. Although the villain wanted to hug the high branches, he didn't dare to make him angry. Besides, he was just a prince with no land in the mountains and rivers... I didn't elaborate After asking, they each walked away, and since then, I have no memory of them."

Lost in the mountains and rivers?

Qiu Sheng lowered his head and smiled coldly. Once upon a time, he was as naive as this person, thinking that Qiu Wei just wanted to escape from the officialdom and go to be his wandering wild crane.Thinking about it now, it was probably to temporarily escape from the chaotic royal family, and then prepare for the majestic return someday in the future.

Putting a long line to catch big fish is really ingenious and superior to others.

"Then what about this booklet?" Qiu Sheng carefully shook out the tattered seaweed paper, "could it be recorded by your ancestors..."

"Exactly, but I am afraid that in order to keep this thing a secret, the ancestors wrote it all in a mess of oracle bone inscriptions and gold inscriptions. The villain knew nothing about ancient books since he was a child, except that he could barely understand this. The top one is Qiu Jiaweizi and his party." There is nothing else that can be done." Su Wanyue pointed to the line of characters that looked like ghostly symbols to Qiu Sheng, and took out a picture of the comparison between the bronze inscriptions and oracle bone inscriptions and the current characters from his pocket, pointing out the words one by one. Show Qiu Sheng, "Although this method is a bit stupid, if Your Majesty can give the villain enough time, it will not be difficult to get it right little by little."

Qiu Sheng looked at his twitching old face. As a person with an ancient prose disorder just like Su Wanyue, he deeply understood Su Wanyue's painful mood when he saw this thing, and the respect hidden in this respectful dogleg. Beneath his appearance, he was full of reluctance.

However, the sympathy gave up after a while, and considering that if Su Wanyue was not allowed to take on this task, he or Chu Yu might be in trouble, Qiu Sheng's remaining conscience was finally wiped out: "It's not a very serious matter." Hurry up, I'll give you time..."

"No need."

His hands were empty, but it was Chu Yu who put down the brush and took away the roll of hot potato. He glanced lightly, raised his eyebrows and gave Qiu Sheng a slight smile, then lowered his head again, and wiped almost all of them at an unimaginable speed. Read the entire table-sized seaweed paper from beginning to end.As he lowered his head and quickly scanned the lines of ancient characters, Qiu Sheng watched his long brows gradually frown, and when he finished reading, his face turned pale.

He didn't deliberately restrain his expression, Su Wanyue could see it clearly, and asked nervously, "Master Chu? Are you..."

"It's okay." Chu Yu rolled up the sea pattern paper and handed it to Qiu Sheng, pinched the small pimple on the center of his eyebrows, raised his eyes and looked like a gentle and gentle gentleman, "Lord Su, excuse me for the time being."

Su Wanyue was flattered: "Please please..."

Qiu Sheng frowned slightly and was led out of the tent by him, and said in a low voice, "A major event? Before the death of the late emperor?"

Chu Yu looked at him for a long time with a complicated expression, and then let out a long sigh.

It's not that he didn't notice this matter, and he even checked it for a long time, both openly and secretly, and finally got an almost final answer from Jing Ran a few days ago.Although the facts are indeed chilling, but because of the bad impression of Qiu Wei, and the fact that this person is not his own uncle, Chu Yu didn't think much about it other than lamenting that the world is going downhill and people's hearts are not old. It is nonsense to hinder the mood, but Qiu Sheng is different from him.

Avoid him and inquire about everything, but forget that the person himself will also have doubts.

If he made a move, he couldn't stop him any more. After all, he still wanted Qiu Sheng to know about it eventually.

Taking a deep breath, before Qiu Sheng's patience was about to run out, Chu Yu asked softly, "Do you still remember the plague that almost wiped out the city?"
