001

Meeting with Xu Ming, everyone rested in the inn for a day or two, and then immediately went to the disaster area.

The area where the disaster area is located is a basin area near a Grand Canal. The water in that canal is so fast that it rises every year. However, nothing happened because the imperial court kept repairing the dam. collapse.

When they arrived, the flood season was over, and they abandoned their carriages and walked for a long time, finding the section of the embankment that was not destroyed at a high place.

Looking from the embankment to the place where the flood was washed away in the distance, the large area within the line of sight is flooded mud, destroyed houses, destroyed crops, and wet ponds and Washed down tree litter.

There is a smell of water in the air, and occasionally you can see the corpses of some drowned rats or other animals, which is disgusting.

"It seems that a lot of people died this time." Tao Chi followed up after visiting around, "I heard that the torrential rain in the upper reaches broke the sluice above, and the flood flooded in here, and then the area in front It collapsed immediately."

Some time ago, there was heavy rain upstream, and they had heard about it on the way here.

"We have also inspected the embankment, basically there is no problem, and there is no cutting corners." Another lieutenant said.

"General, what should we do next?"

The torrential rain in the upper reaches caused the water volume of the river to soar and rush, and the embankment collapsed after arriving here.If that's the case, then everything looks like a coincidence.

General Ghost Face looked at the embankment under his feet, and his eyes followed the river water downwards.

If there is nothing wrong with the levee itself, what went wrong?

"Those people diverted the river." A soft voice sounded behind him.

Xu Jun, who rolled up his sleeves and was fishing for tadpoles by the water, pointed to the upstream and then to the submerged place.

The place upstream behind them is a high ground, and the water flows past where they stand and then flows down. Because of the terrain, the water flow will become more and more urgent.

"Usually in such places, the river channel should be widened to reduce the impact of the water flow on the embankment, but here the river channel has not expanded but narrowed a lot, and the embankment is facing the water outlet."

In this way, once a flood occurs, the flood will collide with the river embankment at an extremely fast speed and with great force. As long as the river has a little more water and a faster flow, this place will be washed away sooner or later.

Everyone looked at what Xu Jun said, and after a while, let alone something like that.

"Where did you learn this, kid?" asked Zhuge Jin who followed Xu Ming all the way.

"I won't tell you." Xu Jun went up the embankment coaxingly.

His father, Xu Lan, was knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He was the emperor Jin Qi's husband. Although it was a thing of the past, he still bears the name of Grand Tutor.

Xu Lan loves books, and his family has a rich collection of books in all aspects. He is not allowed to wield knives and guns, but his family does not stop him from reading books.

Seeing that Xu Jun didn't say anything, everyone turned their heads to look at the ghost-faced general beside him.

"If it's true what Mr. Xu said, then this matter..." The person who built the dam at the beginning was Wang Jinyi and Yi Wang with the same surname.

The person under the ghost's face didn't speak, but just looked into the distance, seemingly in a daze or in deep thought.

At this moment, Zhuge Jin suddenly said, "Although I don't know what you were investigating in the palace before, I think you have forgotten something?"

"What do you mean?" Tao Chi thumped in his heart.

"I heard that you checked all the people who showed up at the celebration banquet many times, and even checked the records of everyone leaving." Under the scrutiny of Tao Chi and the lieutenants, Zhuge Jin smiled as if The usual evil spirit.

Tao Chi looked at Zhuge Jin in front of him, and unconsciously raised his hand and placed it on the handle of the knife at his waist.

This matter has always been a secret. He has never told anyone, and has been very secretive during the investigation. How did Zhuge Jin know?

As for the other lieutenants, General Ghost Face was investigating and they all knew about the celebration banquet, but they couldn't ask if the general didn't say anything.

"Don't underestimate the sources of people in the martial arts." Zhuge Jin is really not afraid of these people. People other than Ghost Face General don't talk about fighting, and it is no problem to run away from him.

"What do you mean?"

The person under the ghost's face turned his head and looked at Zhuge Jin quietly at some point, with a calm murderous look overflowing from his faint black eyes.

How much did Zhuge Jin know about that matter?

"Don't get excited." Zhuge Jin instinctively took a step back, pulling away to a safe distance, "Don't get me wrong, I don't know what you are investigating, I just think you seem to have missed something."

"What's the matter?" Tao Chi drew his sword.

"Investigate like you, and there are people who will never be suspected."

Tao Chi and the people under the ghost's face both frowned, what exactly did Zhuge Jin want to say?

Just as he was talking, a group of soldiers rushed over in a distance, led by Xu Ming, followed by Chu Yiling.

Seeing everyone, Xu Ming ignored the others and ran directly to Xu Jun's side, "Brother, are you alright?"

Xu Jun, who rolled up his trouser sleeves, looked at him blankly.

"I just received the news that the inn where you are staying is on fire." Xu Ming was at the camp when he received the news, and he immediately looked for Xu Jun when he learned that Xu Jun was not in the inn.

"How could there be a fire?"

"I was attacked by someone. It should be the group of people last time. They all went to Chu Yiling." Xu Ming said.

"Master, are you okay?" Xu Jun nervously looked at Chu Yiling next to him.

"I am fine."

"He caught two, but he committed suicide." Xu Ming patted Xu Jun's head.

Xu Ming originally did not agree with Xu Jun being an apprentice with Chu Yiling, but after learning about Chu Yiling's identity from Zhuge Jin and seeing that Chu Yiling had no ill intentions towards Xu Jun, he reluctantly agreed. .

If Xu Jun is interested, it would be a good thing to learn some self-protection skills, although he would prefer to teach himself.

"What's going on here?" Tao Chi asked.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chu Yiling said, "About two months ago, this group of people came to me and asked me to work with them to capture the Black Tie Token. I refused, and they have been following me since then."

"Two months ago? Didn't the martial arts conference not be prepared two months ago?"

After entering Anqing City, they also knew more or less about the martial arts conference.

Two months ago, there was no news about the martial arts conference, but that group of people had already found Chu Yiling. One of the people in the meeting.

Chu Yiling is indeed the most likely winner of this martial arts competition, but also may be the biggest obstacle in the eyes of some people.So it was because they couldn't win over that they made such a bad move?

Several people were thinking about the possibility behind this incident, when they saw that Chu Yiling suddenly began to rummage around after seeing Xu Jun.

"how?"

"Where's my medicine?" Chu Yiling looked for medicine.

It was only when he saw Xu Jun that he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to take his medicine today.

The inn was on fire, and everything was gone. It seems that the medicine he took a few days ago was not brought out.

"Ah, my rabbit!" Xu Jun was also anxious.

"It's okay, brother took it out for you." Xu Ming comforted.

After learning that the inn was on fire, he rushed over immediately, but he couldn't find Jun Xu. After knowing that Jun Xu was not safe in the inn, he helped Jun Xu take out all the luggage.

But it's only Xu Jun, he has no time to care about the others.So now, except for Mr. Xu's things, all the other people's luggage has been burned clean.

"Forget about things, we'll buy them later, the question is what to do now?" one of the lieutenants asked.

They didn't have anything, just some change of clothes and dry food.Although the martial arts tournament is about to begin, they still have no clues.

"I'm going to stay here for a while, and leave after attending the martial arts conference." Chu Yiling didn't plan to go at first, but now he wanted to have a look, so he could buy some medicine by the way.

"Since that's the case, I think it's good. They change their clothes and go with you." Xu Ming arranged, "It's just a matter of taking advantage of the name of the martial arts conference to sneak into the city, otherwise it would be too conspicuous for you to go there like this."

Xu Ming pointed to the person with the ghost face next to him, thinking about what Xu Jun said before, Xu Ming didn't want to see him very much.

"Okay." The deep voice under the ghost's face spread.

"Then I'll arrange this matter." After speaking, Xu Ming left, and the rest of the soldiers stayed to protect Mr. Xu according to his orders.

When Xu Ming left, everyone remembered what they had just said, and turned their heads to look for Zhuge Jin, only to find that he had long since disappeared.

"He ran away." Xu Jun pointed to the distance.

As soon as his brother came, Zhuge Jin ran away.

Everyone looked at each other, dumbfounded.

When they saw Zhuge Jin again, it was when they walked back from the embankment.

Zhuge Jin got a fan out of nowhere, fanned it leisurely, and waited by the side of the road.

Seeing Zhuge Jin, Tao Chi immediately went up to meet him, "What do you mean by that before?" The person they would never suspect, he had thought about it for a long time just now, and the only person he could think of was the current emperor—Jin Qi.

If it was the emperor, it was very possible, he had every chance and reason to poison him.

General Ghost Face holds the military power of 80 million troops, and he is a household name in Dayu. He has even guarded the border and guarded Dayu for many years. Although everyone is afraid of him, he has great merit.

With great achievements, it is only natural to be afraid of General Ghost Face, but...

Although they didn't know the relationship between the Ghost-faced General and the emperor, the Ghost-faced General always called the emperor by his first name, and the emperor never got angry because of it. Although everyone dared not discuss it publicly, they probably guessed that the two might have a close relationship in secret.

Seeing that everyone's faces became strange, Zhuge Jin guessed that these people must be thinking wrong again. He glanced at Xu Jun who had been looking at him, and said with a smile: "Don't you understand? I checked all the people who went out, but have you checked the people who live in the palace?"

According to their search methods, those who live in the palace cannot be found.

"It's King Yi!" one of the lieutenants suddenly shouted.

Among them, only Tao Chi has been investigating this matter for the ghost-faced general. They don't know much, they only vaguely know that they are investigating.

"King Yi returned to the palace according to the order, and lived in the palace before the celebration banquet, and left after the celebration banquet." Tao Chi also remembered this.

"The Huali powder that you asked me to investigate before, do you know where the most are?" Zhuge Jin pointed to the ground with his fan mysteriously, "here."

Listening to Zhuge Jin's words and seeing his mysterious appearance, the people under the ghost's face breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Xu Jun, who was staring at Zhuge Jin with his eyes wide open. He wasn't the best person!

In fact, think about it, it is normal to not be able to find out when Xu Jun left the palace. With his weird movements, it is not easy to sneak out of the palace.

After he rejoiced, there was boundless anger and killing intent in his heart, Jin Yi!

The joy and joy that hadn't faded away, as well as the overwhelming killing intent and anger, all the emotions were mixed together and turned into an endless and complicated silence.

On the side, Xu Jun stared at Zhuge Jin, but the latter blinked at him.

He didn't want to get involved in this matter at first, but since it was related to Mr. Xu, he decided to pay back his previous life-saving grace.

It's just that Xu Jun may not be the one who poisoned him, but something interesting must have happened between Xu Jun and the ghost-faced general.

002

Back in Anqing City, everyone looked for a place to live again.

At night, everyone settled down in the private room on the third floor.

Next, they were going to the city where the martial arts conference was located. They needed to re-pack their luggage. Everyone was assigning tasks. Zhuge Jin who was standing in the house suddenly opened the window and jumped from the window on the third floor, which shocked everyone.

Just as Zhuge Jin jumped out of the window, there was a knock on the door, and Xu Ming came over.

Xu Ming held up his little pillow and the little quilt with colorful snakes painted on it, and looked at Xu Jun expectantly, "Brother, sleep together."

He was startled by the fire at the inn before, in order to avoid such a thing from happening again, he hugged his quilt and pillow after returning to the camp.

"No." Xu Jun refused with puffy cheeks. He is so old that he doesn't want to sleep with him anymore.

Xu Ming was hit, and his whole body slumped down feebly.

Seeing Xu Ming like this, Xu Jun felt a little soft-hearted, but it's really hot to sleep together in this weather.

Xu Jun was struggling, and the deputy general beside him couldn't help but asked with a smile: "General Xu, what did you do before, why did Zhuge Jin run away when he saw you?"

Zhuge Jin had run away long ago, leaving only the wide open window still shaking from side to side.

"Huh?" Xu Ming looked bewildered.

The lieutenants looked at each other in blank dismay, suddenly feeling sorry for Zhuge Jin.He ran away when he saw anyone, but people didn't remember anything at all.

Thinking about what Xu Jun said before about his brother meeting his relatives when he was drunk, the lieutenants looked at each other with a bit of malice in their eyes.

"General Xu, would you like to sit down and have something to eat together?"

"Yes, we've heard about the general's name for a long time, and it's rare to see him, why don't we have a few drinks?"

Xu Ming originally came to look for an opportunity to get close to Xu Jun, but was rejected by Xu Jun. He was sad at the moment, seeing the warm reception from everyone, he sneaked a glance at Xu Jun next to him, and hurried to Xu Jun to be next to Xu Jun sit down.

"Come on, let's have a drink with General Xu."

"I also offer a toast to the general."

Although they had heard Xu Jun say that Xu Ming would kiss anyone when he was drunk, but they had never seen him before, so they were all a little curious at the moment.

Not only Xu Ming, but even Xu Jun and the others were a little concerned.

The last time Xu Jun was drunk and bold enough to snatch the mask of General Ghost Face, it was quite interesting. I wonder what would happen if he got drunk again?

Xu Ming didn't notice, sat next to his younger brother Xu Jun as he wished, happily picked up the wine on the table and drank a big glass full.

When the people next to him saw it, they hurriedly wanted to toast again, and this time they did not forget to add another glass to Xu Jun, "Xiao Mister also accompany us to have a drink?"

"Stop messing around." The man under the ghost's face looked coldly at the messing around.

Most of these lieutenants followed him for a period of time, and he could tell at a glance how small they were.

The ghost-faced general opened his mouth. Although everyone was a little bit unwilling, they didn't dare to do it again. They said a few more words of persuasion and after drinking two drinks, they stopped drinking.

After eating, everyone went back to their houses early to rest and prepare for tomorrow's departure.

After the dinner, Xu Ming hugged his little pillow and quilt, and followed Xu Jun all the way into the house.

After putting the quilt and pillows on Xu Jun's bed without authorization, Xu Ming rubbed his forehead and pretended to be drunk, "I seem to have drunk too much."

Xu Jun had no choice but to let him stay.

After washing, the two of them lay side by side on the bed at night.

Xu Jun closed his eyes and was about to go to sleep, but Xu Ming, who was wearing the little snake quilt he made by himself, kept talking non-stop, not at all drunk.

"Mother wrote a letter a while ago and said that she likes the red mushroom you sent her very much, let me tell you." Xu Ming turned his head sideways and looked at his brother with closed eyes, his tone was sour.

Xu Ming was jealous, Xu Jun sent the red mushroom home to his mother but didn't give it to him, obviously he was closer to Xu Jun.

"Where did you come from?"

"Picked in the mountains." Xu Jun opened his eyes, a little guilty.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat."

"..."

"I'll give you some next time too?"

"I know you miss your brother the most!" Xu Ming twisted his body happily, getting closer to Xu Jun.

Xu Jun moved in to avoid it, it was so hot.

"By the way, why don't you stay here to accompany brother, and go back with them when they come back from the investigation?" Xu Ming looked forward to it.

"No."

"why?"

"I want to watch the martial arts competition." Xu Jun has stayed at home since he was a child, and rarely has the opportunity to go out. "And you will be very busy for disaster relief."

Xu Ming wanted to refute, wanted to say that he was free, but thought about it but didn't say it.

"It's not impossible for you to go, but remember to stay away from that King Yi." Xu Ming suddenly became serious.

"Ok?"

"Then King Yi is by no means as stupid as he appears on the surface." After a pause, Xu Ming continued, "You also know the situation of our family. If you get too involved with King Yi, it will be very troublesome."

It takes a lot of money to recruit people, and King Yi chose the fastest way to get money.

King Yi's hands and feet were not clean, and the embankment disaster relief was fraudulent. As the person in charge of the nearby garrison, he always knew it, but he didn't do anything.

Xu Jun turned sideways and lay facing Xu Ming.

It's not that he doesn't understand some things, on the contrary, he understands them like a mirror in his heart.

In the early years, the Xu family almost did everything they could to support Jin Qi's ascension to the throne. What he got in exchange for the reputation of a hero was the reputation of a hero, and he was in a situation of walking on thin ice.

Jin Qi is not necessarily not a Mingjun, but no emperor likes a minister with great achievements, even if he is a Mingjun, this cannot be changed.

King Yi has always wanted to rebel and usurp the throne, and the Xu family was the one who supported Jin Qi's ascension to the throne. If they get involved with King Yi, they will definitely provoke murderous intentions.

"I see." Xu Jun nodded wearily.

After being silent for a while, Xu Ming said again: "What's the matter between you and that ghost-faced general?"

After Xu Ming finished speaking, he waited for a while but did not wait for the answer from the person next to him. He propped himself up and looked, only to find that Xu Jun had already fallen asleep.

On the other side of the inn, in the ghost-faced general's room.

The lieutenants who were talking and laughing at the dinner table just now are all lined up in the room at this moment, there is no joke on their faces, they are serious and serious.

"King Yi has been making small moves since before, but there has been no major movement, but I heard that there seem to be many people coming and going in and out of King Yi's residence recently, and there are many people in the Jianghu."

"Could the martial arts conference this time be related to him?"

"Martial Arts Conference?"

"Didn't it be rumored that there was some kind of black iron order before? If he can win the black iron order, it means that he has a chance to command the martial arts."

Everyone fell into contemplation. This is not impossible, but very likely.

"But he wants to make an enemy of the imperial court with only a few martial arts experts, isn't it a little too overreaching?" one of the deputy generals questioned.

As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at General Ghost Face.

Although most of them didn't know what happened before, it was clear that someone wanted to attack their general before.If this matter is true, then Yi Wang's suspicion is even greater.

Most of Dayu's troops are in the hands of General Ghost Face. Once something happens to General Ghost Face, Dayu will definitely be shaken. If the man in the palace dies again at this time, Dayu may indeed be shaken.

The person under the ghost mask had obviously thought of this a long time ago. Under the mask, his face was already as black as charcoal. After sweeping the crowd with cold eyes, he said: "If there is any abnormality, I will kill you without mercy."

The lieutenants lowered their eyes.

"But general, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to explain it to me."

How could King Yi be regarded as a relative of the emperor, the elder brother of the emperor, and the son of Concubine Li, if they really killed him directly, it would be a heinous crime if the emperor pursued him.

"He won't have any objection to the decision I made." The faint words of the man under the ghost's face made everyone break out in cold sweat.

General Ghost Face's words are a bit out of line, if it spreads out, if anyone with a heart listens to it, it will be a heinous crime committed by treason.

He has always been the only one who can make decisions about the emperor's affairs. If General Ghost Face can make decisions for the emperor, wouldn't it be a mess for the emperor and his ministers?

Everyone was shocked, but no one dared to ask.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone was ready to set off early in the morning.

Xu Jun bid farewell to Xu Ming and got into the carriage, and waved goodbye to him at the window, until the car was far away, he put down the curtains and moved to sit beside the ghost-faced general.

"Is something wrong?"

"General." Xu Jun rolled his eyes, thinking about how to remind him of what Xu Ming told him last night.

"Ok?"

"I heard that King Yi has three heads and six arms, it's fierce!"

The person under the ghost's face was puzzled.

"I heard that he still eats people." Xu Jun grinned and made a very fierce expression.

The person under the ghost face raised his eyebrows, so?

Xu Jun frowned and looked at the person in front of him who didn't understand what he said, and suddenly felt disgusted, this person is really stupid.

Xu Jun doesn't want General Ghost Face to get hurt. After spending so long with him, he actually likes this guy, just like he likes the little rabbit. Although there are still many things that have not been clarified, he doesn't want this guy to get hurt. , and I don't want him to involve too much with King Yi to make the emperor want to kill.

"You can't get too close to King Yi, he is so fierce, if he is not good, the emperor will be angry with you."

The person under the ghost's face was surprised. After a while, he realized that Mr. Xu was caring about him?

003

Listening to the Nuo Nuo voice of the person beside him, thinking about how fierce this person was just now, there was an uncontrollable smile on his face under the ghostly face.

After hearing Zhuge Jin's words before, he was really relieved and felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

A person like Xu Jun is so elusive to him.Such a beautiful person, he doesn't want him to be contaminated with those filthy things, he just needs to be himself.

Knowing that Xu Jun did not do that thing, he was relieved, followed by deeper disgust and hatred.

A person like him who is covered in filth in the mud, if one day Xu Jun knows about those filthy things, he will feel disgusted!So for him, it is probably a luxury to be by Xu Jun's side.

"Okay." A gentle voice came from under the ghost's face.

"That's good." Knowing that the people next to him understood what he said, Xu Jun heaved a sigh of relief.He was still thinking that this person is so stupid, what should he do if he still can't understand him.

The ghost-faced general stretched out his hand to touch the rabbit on Xu Jun's lap. After a while, his voice came again, which was even more gentle, "Don't talk about getting married again."

Before Xu Jun could open his mouth, General Ghost Face said again: "You and I are both men, such dirty things are beyond the law of heaven."

Xu Jun's face gradually turned pale. He knew that this man must hate men to the core by now, and the marriage would definitely fail.

If the marriage fails, this person must still be investigated.Once checked, maybe when it will be found out.If found out, he will be beheaded.

Xu Jun looked at the person beside him pitifully, he was about to be beheaded by this person.

Xu Jun was disappointed, "Oh..."

The ghost-faced general who was stroking the rabbit looked at Xu Jun who was so disappointed by his words that his whole body became limp and powerless, his heart palpitated and his heart pounded.

His heart, which had already been completely dead, suddenly looked forward to it again.

Only this time, he quickly curbed that unrealistic expectation, and he warned himself not to be greedy.

The city where King Yi lived was called Jingshan City, not far from Anqing, and it only took two days to get there by carriage.

They set off early in the morning, and it happened to be the next night when they arrived at Jingshan City.

After arriving at Jingshan City, everyone felt the upsurge of the martial arts conference again.

Almost all the inns in the entire Jingshan City were overcrowded. They searched many inns along the way, but they couldn't find a vacant room.

Everyone was having a headache looking at the dim night street, when an acquaintance ran over from a distance, Xu Ming waved his hand at Xu Jun from afar, "Brother, here."

He had expected that Jingshan City would be like this for a long time, if it was just General Ghost Face, he would not bother to pay attention, but it is impossible for him to wrong his younger brother, so he had already called someone to come and book the inn.

Everyone was slightly startled and walked over.

Xu Ming, who was going to give Xu Jun a surprise, saw that his younger brother became flustered, and immediately left the others and walked around Xu Jun nervously, "What's wrong?"

Xu Jun looked at Xu Ming, and then at General Ghost Face, his mouth was flattened, unhappy, "He said he won't marry me."

The anger and embarrassment on Xu Ming's face because he saw Xu Jun unhappy, instantly turned into a sweet smile after hearing Xu Jun's words, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be sad, be good."

Xu Ming was very happy, and quickly and enthusiastically entertained everyone into the inn.

He calculated that everyone would come at this time, so even the dishes had been arranged. Of course, the dishes on the big table were all Xu Jun's favorite dishes.

The tastes and hobbies of other people have never been in his consideration.

After coaxing his younger brother to finish the meal at the dinner table, Xu Ming said a lot of nice words, and then coaxed Xu Jun to go back to the room happily.

After entering the house, Xu Ming didn't finish.

"You shouldn't get too close to General Ghost Face on weekdays. His identity is not simple. Although Daddy didn't say anything about it, Daddy seems to have known him a long time ago." Xu Ming said softly, the last thing he wanted to see him like this The younger brother was injured.

No matter what his face looks like under that mask, a person who can sit on an equal footing with the current emperor and be called by his name, and who also holds 80 soldiers in his hands, is not something that the Xu family can provoke.

After finishing speaking, Xu Ming saw that Xu Jun was still looking weak, so he changed the subject, "By the way, do you like the mountain we used to play when we were young?"

Xu Jun nodded. When they were young, they often went to a summer resort in the mountains to play.It was cool and delicious there, and he liked it very much.

"Then when I hand over the military power, shall we live there?" Xu Ming said.

"Hand over the military power?"

"That's right, in a few years when I'm old, I won't be a general anymore." Xu Ming counted with his fingers.

He was only twenty years old and he was in the prime of life, and it was too early to retire and return home.

This path was chosen by himself, and his father Xu Lan also meant the same, and he was trying to fade out of court within three generations.

A companion is like a tiger, although his father and he have not attracted murderous intentions, but if something happens, it will be involved in a wide range of situations. Neither he nor his father want to involve Xu Jun and their mother.

When Xu Jun heard this, he opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

After saying a few more words, Xu Jun took the opportunity of Xu Ming to wash up and went out, wanting to blow the night breeze.

When he walked to the yard behind the inn, he found that the yard had already been occupied.It was the lieutenants he was familiar with who occupied the yard. They sat around the table drinking wine and eating peanuts under the moonlight, very carefree.

Usually they have to train every day in the camp, and the tasks are heavy. Such leisurely days are very rare. Now it is rare to have the opportunity, so they are naturally very happy.

Seeing Xu Jun coming, everyone quickly gave up their seats.

"Come, come, drink." Tao Chisai gave Xu Jun a wine glass.

Hearing Xu Ming's words, Xu Jun was very unhappy, and he drank the wine as soon as they were offered it.

After a round of drinking, the deputy generals realized that Xu Jun was silent, "What's the matter? Who made you unhappy?"

Xu Jun shook his head and didn't speak.

How could he be happy?

He knew the situation of Xu's family. Although he was pretty on the outside, he had to think about everything he did. Xu Ming was fine, he felt more comfortable staying away from the court.His father, Xu Lan, even went out for a drink with his colleagues on weekdays, and had to think about the stakes.

This was already the case, but he got into trouble again and provoked a murderer. If something happened, his brother, his father, and mother would definitely be implicated.

In the inn, when the ghost-faced general who was resting on the bed after washing was surrounded by all the lieutenants and called downstairs to the yard, Xu Jun had already been hiding under the table for a long time.

Under the darkness of night, the lieutenants, who were all drunk, couldn't laugh or cry.

They originally wanted to play around, thinking that this is not a military camp, and since they are all here, nothing will happen to Xu Jun even if he is drunk, so they kept persuading him to drink.

Who knew Xu Jun got under the table and sulked after he was drunk, and he couldn't persuade him no matter how hard he tried!

"It was fine last time, and I don't know what's wrong this time." Tao Chi suppressed a smile.

They couldn't persuade them for a long time before, so they moved the table to the side and put it aside. As a result, Xu Jun, who was nesting under the table as a tortoise, saw that his tortoise shell was gone, gave them a wronged look, and squatted down. Moved on the ground, then moved to squat under the table.

Hearing the deputy general tell you what happened before, the person under the ghost's face took a step back, bent slightly and looked under the table.

Sure enough, under the table, I saw a sulking person squatting and shrinking into a small ball.

"Come out." General Ghost Face walked over and tapped on the table.

The people under the table didn't move.

General Ghost Face took two steps back, bent down and looked under the table, only to see that the person who was squatting towards him just now turned his back and squatted with his back facing him instead.

The person under the ghost's face was funny, "Who messed with him?"

All the lieutenants shook their heads and hurriedly said that they had nothing to do with this matter. When they saw this man, he was so silent.

The ghost-faced general turned his head and thought about it, then bent down and lifted the table up, and put it aside.

The little tortoise under the table was lost, and suddenly found that his tortoise shell was gone. He raised his head in aggrieved look at the villain who had snatched his tortoise shell, moved his buttocks, and squatted down on the table again.

"Hahaha..." The lieutenants couldn't help laughing when they saw this.General Ghost Face is also dumbfounded.

"What are you doing squatting down there?" General Ghost Face squatted down.

The little turtle turned around and turned his back to him, obviously not wanting to speak.

The ghost-faced general moved inside, squatted into the tortoise shell, and made neighbors with the little tortoise.

"What happened?" At this moment, General Ghost Face's heart was pounding like a deer. Although he kept telling himself not to have any more expectations, his heart couldn't help jumping and beating wildly.

Ever since he told Xu Jun that he would not marry him, Xu Jun has been in such a listless and depressed look. Now that Xu Jun is squatting under the table and sulking, is it because of him?

Xu Jun looked up at the person who ran into the table without his permission, moved away, turned his back, and ignored him.

"Tell me." The man under the ghost's face was a little at a loss, he had never comforted anyone, and he didn't know how to comfort him.

The little tortoise secretly turned his head to look at him, and the two of them met their eyes, and he quickly turned his head back.

"I won't tell anyone."

The little tortoise peeked at it aggrievedly again.

The person under the ghost's face thought for a long time before saying, "I'm on your side."

He can't promise Xu Jun because he is not worthy, and once Xu Jun knows how dirty he is, he will definitely not accept him.

Xu Jun finally turned around, he lowered his head and played with his fingers.The ghost-faced general did not speak, but waited patiently.

After a while, Xu Jun moved forward and squatted next to General Ghost Face.Sensing Xu Jun's closeness, the heartbeat under the ghost's face accelerated again.

Xu Jun dawdled for a while, and then softly begged: "Weitang, don't kill my head, okay?"

The person under the ghost's face was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Xu Jun in astonishment.

In the next moment, endless anger and grief welled up from the bottom of his heart. Why did this person think that he wanted to kill him?Or, in Xu Jun's heart, is he really as cold-blooded and ruthless as the rumors say, that the reincarnation of evil spirits will kill innocent people indiscriminately?

"Are you okay?" Another pitiful voice.

The anger welling up in the heart of the person under the ghost face was instantly dissipated, leaving only a deep sense of helplessness.

"Okay." Besides good, what else could he say?

The little turtle sniffed, then said as if thinking of something: "Then tell the emperor not to kill the heads of my father, elder brother, and mother, okay?"

General Ghost Face frowned, what does this have to do with his father, brother, and mother?

What's the matter with Jinqi?

"Are you okay?" Xu Jun stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve.

"Okay." There was deep helplessness in the deep voice, "As long as I'm here, Jin Qi won't touch your Xu family alone."

After getting the answer he wanted, the little turtle moved towards him, getting closer to him intimately.

The person under the ghost's face looked at Xu Jun who was slowly approaching him. He knew that he should get up and lift the table, and take the person back to sleep. He knew that this person was drunk, but he didn't want to move. The people next to him squatted under the table, enjoying this moment of silence.

"Will you marry me?" The soft voice sounded again unexpectedly.

"You're drunk, I'll take you back." The voice under the ghost's face was rare and embarrassing.

Unable to get the answer he wanted, Xu Jun pursed his lips, looked at him aggrievedly, then moved away, clumsily moved to a distance, not squatting next to him, or getting along with him.

Seeing this scene, the person under the ghost's face clearly knew that this person was drunk and crazy, and there was no reason to follow, but he still couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart.

"Okay." He looked at the person who was hiding away, and his heart softened, and he responded with a good word.

As soon as the words fell, he heard the sound of a group of people taking air-conditioning outside the table.

General Ghost Face was inexplicably guilty and irritable, and was about to stand up and lift the table, and take this man back to sleep even if he used force, when something suddenly appeared in front of him.

The little tortoise that had been so wronged and moved away from him just now moved back and squatted face to face with him, getting very close.

That fair face came closer, his lips parted, and a soft and pleasant voice came, he said: "My lady, can I kiss you as a husband?"
