[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

"I always feel that something is wrong." Tuhenglu touched his nose and said in a low voice.

Jia Huan nodded indistinctly, he also felt something was wrong.

But if I really want to talk about it, it seems that I can't tell what is wrong.

Tu Hengding and the others could not wait to go.

Gu Dingguo, Chen Dazai and others remained in the camp.

Old General Gu stroked his beard and frowned, looking pensive.

Jia Huan glanced at Tuhenglu and exchanged glances.

"Ahem," Jia Huan cleared his throat, and asked, "General Gu, I have some questions I want to ask you."

Gu Dingguo paused while touching his beard, and looked at Jia Huan in surprise, "Master Jia, if you have any questions, just ask."

"General Gu has been in the frontier for many years, so he must know Manzi very well." Jia Huan asked.

Gu Dingguo nodded, "Yes, I have been in the frontier for [-] years, and I do know a little bit about barbarians."

The others looked at Jia Huan curiously, some of them didn't understand why Jia Huan asked this question.

Could it be that he suspected that General Gu was collaborating with the enemy and treason? That's impossible. All the people in Da'an, from the ninety-year-old man to the young man with yellow hair, all know that General Gu is a loyal family. Several sons died at the hands of barbarians. It is possible to betray the enemy, but he alone is absolutely impossible.

Although Gu Dingguo was asked a question by Jia Huan, he did not panic, but calmly waited for Jia Huan to ask the next question.

And just as he expected, Jia Huan asked again, "What does the general think of Manzi? I mean, how is Manzi's faith?"

Chen Taihui sneered, "People like barbarians, what kind of loyalty is there! They are villains through and through!"

Others also echoed and scolded the barbarian.

Only Old General Gu showed a thoughtful expression. He raised his head, with a hesitant expression, but still said: "If you want to talk about barbarians, although I hate them very much, you have to admit that barbarians were indeed quite loyal before. The people here rely on grazing and hunting for a living all day long. Although they are not educated, they are extremely trustworthy. This time, the old man really felt a little unexpected."

Jia Huan's eyes flickered, he nodded, and cupped his hands towards Gu Dingguo, "Thank you, General, for clearing my doubts."

After asking this question, he sat back in his seat and remained silent.

The others thought he was just asking casually, and then changed the subject, worrying about Tu Hengding's leadership this time.

Everyone didn't say anything just now, but they all agreed with Old General Gu's idea in their hearts. Although Tu Hengding is the prince and grandson, he has no experience in leading an army to fight. When something goes wrong, they all have to be responsible!

Jia Huan lowered his head, rubbed the teacup in his hand, and frowned slightly. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

It's a terrible feeling of uncertainty.

Seeing him thinking seriously, Tu Henglu couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, as if his heart was being scratched by a cat.

He poured a cup of hot tea into his teacup, touched it, and felt that the temperature was just right, so he took out the teacup in Jia Huan's hand and stuffed his own teacup into it.

Jia Huan froze for a moment, then opened his mouth, "What are you doing?"

"This cup is warm," Tu Henglu said.

Jia Huan let out a groan, rubbed the teacup, felt the temperature continuously coming out of the teacup, and squinted his eyes comfortably. The charcoal fires in this place are expensive, and none of the stoves he brought from the capital can It came in handy, I woke up halfway through sleeping last night and filled a kettle with hot water before I could fall asleep.

I don't know where I can buy things like silver frost charcoal.

Just as Jia Huan thought of this, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

The thought flew by so fast, almost in an instant.

Jia Huan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously clenched the teacup in his hand, taking a sip of tea to relieve his excitement.

Tu Henglu's ears turned red, and she silently turned her head away.

Jia Huan took a deep breath, raised his head and was about to tell Tu Heng Lu his guess, when he saw Tu Heng Lu blushing.

He froze for a moment, "Master Sixteen, why is your face so red?"

"Is there?" Tu Henglu touched his face subconsciously, and after realizing that his actions were a little too much for 300 taels of silver here, he quickly put his hands away and coughed, "Maybe it's hotter here."

Is it hot?Jia Huan tilted his head in confusion, there was a fire burning and there were so many people, it did seem a little hot.

Seeing that he diverted Jia Huan's question, Tu Henglu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What were you thinking just now?"

Jia Huan almost forgot about it. He was about to speak when he heard hurried footsteps outside.

A soldier in armor opened the curtain and walked in, with an anxious expression on his face, "General, something happened!"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

A look of panic flashed across Gu Dingguo's face, but he covered it up so quickly that almost no one noticed, "What happened?"

The soldier said in a calm voice: "His Royal Highness and General Xin led the army to Yongding River, but the barbarians... nothing unusual."

Nothing out of the ordinary? !

Everyone was stunned, feeling like they understood every word, but couldn't understand it together.

"What does it mean no abnormality!" Chen Taihui asked angrily.

The soldier shook his body, and said with a grim face, "Man, Manzi doesn't seem to have any intention of going to war."

What does it mean? !

Confusion was written all over their faces, and they all looked at General Gu and General Chen who were stunned.

Gu Dingguo restrained his surprised and puzzled expression, and said lightly: "I understand, pass on the order to order General Xin and His Royal Highness to return to the camp immediately, there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!" The soldier retreated quickly.

"Ridiculous, what's going on!" Chen Taihui slapped the table angrily, and the teacup fell to the ground.

Gu Dingguo calmed down, "Old Chen, what's there to be angry about? It's a good thing for those barbarians to keep their promises. The boys have worked hard these days, so it's good to tell them to rest."

Chen Taihui was panting heavily, so angry that he couldn't speak.

Although the other generals were also angry in their hearts, Gu Dingguo was the lead general. Since he opened his mouth, naturally there was no room for others to refute.

While Jia Huan, Tu Henglu and others were surprised, they also felt a little admiration for Gu Dingguo.

Gu Dingguo is indeed a general, not chaotic in the face of danger, not surprised by changes, this is the ability to control a [-] army, otherwise he will make a fuss at every turn, who will be convinced by the people below!

Let's go back to Tu Hengding's side.

After hearing Gu Dingguo's words reported by the soldiers, Tu Hengding's expression turned ugly for a moment. He held the reins tightly in his hands, looked at the barbarians facing each other across the bank, and asked through gritted teeth: "Do we really have to retreat?!"

They've all come here, if they go back, wouldn't they lose face when they go back!

Xin Shaoxin looked at him very puzzled, his eyes full of doubts, "The military order is like a mountain, can you still not retreat?"

"But we've all come here, so we can't make this trip in vain." Tu Hengding frowned, asking with some anger in his voice.

Xin Shaoxin didn't understand Tu Hengding very much. He grew up in the army, and the education he received was like a mountain of military orders. Let alone telling him to retreat at this time, even if he crossed the river, he would retreat without saying a word. retreat.

In the eyes of some people, this may be foolish loyalty, but sometimes, what is needed in the military is not to be smart, but to obey orders.

Of course, the premise is that the main general must be a person with a brain.

"Your Highness, we have to retreat." Xin Shaoxin said indifferently.

Tu Heng looked at his invulnerable look, and knew that no matter what he could not persuade him, he gritted his teeth and almost vomited blood in anger, "Back back!"
