General, please be a loyal minister!

Han Zhao was flustered for a moment, and then he remembered that he had changed his appearance now, and Liu Ji might not be as sure as he was that day after seeing his appearance that was very different from before, so Han Zhao calmed down.

Liu Ji did have doubts because of this deceptive disguise, he stared straight at Han Zhao, trying to find a sense of disobedience on this "Gu Chongming" face.

Gu Chongming's facial features can only be described as handsome and upright, far from being as handsome as Han Zhao's gorgeous, it is a look that makes people look comfortable, but not deep in impression.

He is the master?Although he came here with [-]% confidence, Liu Ji became timid when he really saw him.

Because Xu was on a mission, Liu Ji tidied up and dressed up.

Following Han Zhao's preference for black, he took off his armor today and changed into a black brocade robe with wide sleeves.This is a very monotonous color, but the heavy silver-red embroidery on the cuffs, neckline, girdle and hem makes it luxurious.

The red tasseled crown worn on the battlefield was replaced by a silver crown embellished with rubies, and the sideburns that were always scattered were braided and tied behind the head.

Han Zhao lowered his eyes, and he had to admit that his disciple was really—a dog.

After looking at each other briefly, Liu Ji first said, "You are Mr. Gu, right?"

Han Zhao nodded.

Seeing Han Zhao not drinking the tea, Liu Ji asked with a smile, "Why don't you drink it? Could it be that Mr. Gu doesn't like Yunwu tea? Sorry, I don't know what Mr. likes, so I followed my own."

Of course I like it.

Lushan Yunwu is Han Zhao's favorite tea. Liu Ji has served Han Zhao for ten years and knows his preferences clearly, but now Han Zhao doesn't care about tea.

Han Zhao knew that he couldn't keep silent, so he put down his teacup and said under his breath, "This is not the third son's car."

Liu Ji asked back: "Which car can't I get in?"

"What are you worried about, Mr. Gu? My son will never be contemptuous, condescending, contemptuous, and unreasonable here." Liu Ji's tone was very ambiguous when he said this, and his eyes fell on Han Zhao's lips, with an indescribable expression. mean.

Han Zhao remembered Liu Ji's madness the night he left three years ago, and with lingering fear, he unconsciously sat back a little.

This small gesture did not escape Liu Ji's eyes, and his eyes sank.

Liu Ji straightened his clothes and changed into a comfortable sitting position: "Why did Mr. Gu avoid me that day?"

Han Zhao calmly replied, "I didn't hide from the third son, but I just left suddenly."

Liu Ji sighed: "It seems that I can't get into the eyes of Mr. Gu."

Han Zhao said coldly, "My lord is joking."

During the conversation, the team set off. Amidst the rumble of the carriage, Liu Ji said leisurely: "There is one thing that you may not know yet. My second brother is suspicious by nature and likes to be suspicious of his subordinates. Many staff members have suffered under his hands." If you can't learn how to grind, you will be kicked out and take refuge in me."

Han Zhao looked up at Liu Ji: Is he trying to sow discord?There's no need, he and Liu Jin have nothing to sow discord.

Liu Ji sighed: "I said that the second brother is really, too unconfident about his own charm, man, it's like sand and water, the tighter you hold it, the faster you run."

"My wife taught me this, but it makes sense. Don't you think so, sir?"

"Oh, don't tell the second brother this, he will be angry." Liu Ji laughed to himself.

Han Zhao looked at Liu Ji who was talking non-stop. He didn't know what Liu Ji was thinking or planning, but he couldn't say so much for no reason.

Based on his past understanding of Liu Ji, he vaguely felt that Liu Ji was angry, but why was he angry?

Outside, Su Xin, who was driven to ride a horse, looked at a young man in gray.

This gray-clothed young man was the young officer who asked Liu Ji for leave the day Liu Ji entered the city.

Su Xin cupped his fists towards the young man: "Su Xin, Mr. Gu's disciple."

The young man replied: "Geng Yi, the third son's deputy."

After saying hello, Geng Yi seemed hesitant to speak, and after walking for a while, he still asked: "Is the third son in Mr. Gu's car?"

Su Xin looked at him: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Geng Yi asked again: "Did the third son treat Mr. Gu to tea?"

Su Xin nodded: "It's a cup of tea, what's the matter?"

Geng Yi showed a "sure enough" expression: "It's okay, we may be colleagues soon."

Su Xin was puzzled and asked, "How do you say that?"

However, Geng Yi stopped answering.

However, Su Xin is a fine person, so he understood after a little thought. Before he heard that Liu Ji loves to rob Liu Jin, now it seems that he is a stone hammer.

But why not invite him to tea?One and two don't just look after Mr. Gu, okay?He is also very strong!

After leaving the southern capital, the scenery gradually began to be desolate and bleak, and sometimes you might not be able to see the crops and farmers after walking for half a day.After years of fighting, such a scene was expected, but it was the same scene even in Liu Ci's territory, which was relatively strong and stable, let alone other places.

There is no inn on the road ahead, so the group can only bury pots and cook food by the roadside like when they are marching.

It was Geng Yi who cooked for Liu Ji. He didn't know how to cook, but Liu Ji forced him to learn cooking skills in order to take one less cook with him when he went out. Geng Yi felt wronged, but he didn't know who to tell.

The ingredients were basically brought by themselves. A guard caught a fish in the river and offered it to Liu Ji, and Liu Ji asked Geng Yi to cook it together.

After the meal was ready, Liu Ji asked Geng Yi to invite Han Zhao to have a meal, along with Su Xin.

Liu Ji invited Han Zhao to take a seat: "The conditions of going out are not as good as those at the second brother's house, and I hope Mr. Gu will not dislike him."

Han Zhao glanced at it, four dishes and one soup, two meat and three vegetables.

This kind of food is indeed shabby for Liu Ji's status, but this is not a special condition for going out, and Liu Ji's daily meals are nothing more than this.

Han Zhao taught Liu Ji: When a soldier fights a war, every porridge and meal is picked out of the mouths of the people. Every time he goes to war, it consumes the strength of the people. Every soldier and every piece of food must be exchanged for tangible benefits on the battlefield. It should not be wasted.There is also "acting from top to bottom". If the general behaves badly, then the soldiers under him will not obey his rules. If you want to be serious about military style, you must lead by example.

Therefore, when he was marching and fighting, Liu Ji had stricter requirements on himself than anyone else. As a general, the only thing outsiders could criticize Liu Ji was his perverted temperament and his erratic temperament. I only know which family's soldiers disturb the people and which family's soldiers do not disturb the people.

When preparing the dishes, Geng Yi specially put his specialty braised pork ribs in front of Liu Ji, and put fish and green vegetables and other dishes that Liu Ji didn't like to eat far away, but Liu Ji reached out and took the fish in front of Han Zhao away, and put the fish in front of Han Zhao. The ribs were put in the past.

Geng Yi reminded: "Boss, this is crucian carp."

Liu Ji gave him a cool look: "You talk a lot? Can I eat?"

Geng Yi stopped talking: All right, all right, as long as you are always happy.

When serving the rice, Liu Ji also asked Geng Yi to pass the first served rice to Han Zhao.

Han Zhao knew that Liu Ji had seen through his disguise, so he abided by the etiquette of his disciples when eating, with Han Zhao as the first.It was no surprise that Han Zhao was spotted by Liu Ji, but he didn't understand why Liu Ji didn't say anything or ask anything.He even talked about Liu Jin with "Gu Chongming" as the third son with a relaxed and happy face.

Such an incomprehensible Liu Ji made Han Zhao a little anxious. Logically speaking, Liu Ji's growth is a good thing, but Han Zhao didn't feel very good.

Although he said he wanted to eat fish, after the whole meal, Liu Ji didn't move a single chopstick on the plate of fish.

The soldiers ate very quickly, and within a quarter of an hour, Han Zhao and Liu Ji stopped their chopsticks one after another—the two even matched their eating pace inexplicably.

"You take it easy, I'll go back to the car first. Geng Yi, make a cup of tea after dinner." After leaving these two sentences, Liu Ji got up and walked to the car.

After Liu Ji left, Han Zhao also got up and left.

After the two left, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became more relaxed. Su Xin stretched out his hand across the table and picked up a piece of fish that he had long coveted. Food can actually be placed in front of me.”

Geng Yi wondered: "Mr. Gu doesn't like fish either?" He wanted to show off to Gu Chongming, but wasted his expression.

Su Xin replied, "Because he doesn't know how to criticize."

After speaking, fearing that Geng Yi would not understand the point of this cold joke, Su Xin explained thoughtfully: "This is irony. The teacher is very good at picking thorns when approving homework." Ruthless and accurate.

Geng Yi nodded with empathy: "The third son is too."

Su Xin was not surprised at all, and blurted out: "Master Xiao."

Geng Yi didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Su Xin, who realized that he had slipped the tongue, hurriedly changed his words: "Uh...it's nothing."

At this end, Han Zhao, who had left behind, got into Liu Ji's carriage. He wanted to have a good talk with Liu Ji, so he sat opposite Liu Ji and called him, "Zhao Ji!"

Liu Ji looked at Han Zhao coldly: "Who is Mr. Gu calling?"

Han Zhao realized that Liu Ji didn't want to recognize him. He was sure that Liu Ji was angry, but he didn't quite understand why Liu Ji was angry: "What are you angry about?"

What is he mad about?

Listen, this tone is much like before, as if speaking to an unknown child, the subtext is: Your annoyance is really childish and incomprehensible.

Suddenly, an unknown fire arose in Liu Ji's heart.

Liu Ji leaned on the soft pillow and asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Do you like gambling, sir?"

Han Zhao didn't know what Liu Ji wanted to express, so he didn't answer, but looked at him quietly, waiting for him to continue.

"Take the bet size as an example. If you buy both big and small bets, you will probably lose money. But what about reality?"

"A person of insight chooses a wise master to serve, but it seems unsafe to choose one, so how many more? Invest in each one, so you will definitely win!"

This is absurd, Han Zhao doesn't agree, and he doesn't think Liu Ji really thinks that way.Sure enough, Liu Ji's next sentence was a turning point.

"However, gamblers who hold such thoughts ignore one point: whether it is loyalty or love, they are exclusive. People's hearts are fleshy. If you are left out, you will be lonely, if you are forgotten, you will be sad, if you are hurt, you will be painful... After discovering the betrayal, do those old feelings still count? Or do you feel that the other party has always been humblely attached to me, so you can act recklessly without worrying about his feelings?"

Liu Jiyue became more excited as he spoke, and even gradually approached Han Zhao, stretched out his hand against the wall of the car, trapped him in his arms, and forced him to look at him.

I have been looking for him for three years and worrying about him for three years, but he abandoned himself and joined Liu Jin's camp.

How could he do that!How dare he do this!
