Wife is General Ghost Face
Chapter 40 This Man Is His!
001
The ghost-faced general who had already left the door heard the shouts behind him and the sound of chasing footsteps. His steps became more and more rapid, and he almost fled away.
After guessing that the matter might be related to Xu Jun, he hesitated for a long time, and finally let Tao Chi put down the investigation for the time being, because he was afraid of knowing the result.
He is already like this, why does Xu Jun keep chasing him?
"General, wait." Xu Jun quickly chased after him.
Some things must be made clear, otherwise the wound under the scab will never heal, and may even fester.
The ghost-faced general walked faster, without looking back at all, he just walked forward quickly, trying to stay away from Xu Jun.
"Not yet!"
Xu Jun was a little angry, looking at the ghost-faced general who was running away very fast in front of him, he couldn't catch up even if he trotted.
Hearing these two words, General Ghost Face paused, and the next moment, he fled even faster.
Xu Jun stood where he was, staring blankly at the fleeing ghost-faced general.It would be an absolute lie to say that he hadn't noticed anything unusual at all at this moment.
Looking at the ghost-faced general who was almost running away, Xu Jun felt bitterness in his throat, and he finally mustered up the courage to explain clearly to him, why did he want to run away instead?
"Ouch!"
The ghost-faced general who was about to walk out of the corridor heard the sound of pain coming from behind him, he stopped and turned around.
Xu Jun, who had been chasing him, fell to the ground somehow.Both of Xu Jun's hands were on the ground, and when General Ghost Face looked back, Xu Jun was raising his palms to look.
It seemed that the skin was worn out, and he blew into his palm with a bitter face, as if it would not hurt.
Almost instinctively, the ghost-faced general quickly walked a few steps towards him, and when he was about to get close to Xu Jun, he remembered that he should run away.
Xu Jun didn't notice his movements. He sat on the ground and raised the palm of his other hand to look at it, frowning as if it was in extreme pain.
The person under the mask sighed silently, and finally walked over and squatted down, "Where did you fall? Let me see—"
Before General Ghost Face could finish his concerned words, Jun Xu had already rushed towards him, holding him tightly with both hands!
Xu Jun's strength was so strong that both General Ghost Face and himself fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was no one around here, so no one noticed the two people who fell together here.
"You..." General Ghost Face found himself fooled.
"I got you."
Xu Jun held the ghost-faced general's arm tightly. He raised his head and looked around. When he saw the soldiers standing guard in the distance, he stood up. The back of the house that cannot be seen.
This was the corner where they hugged and kissed when they met again in January, not far from the corridor, barely hidden.
Xu Jun forcefully dragged the man to a corner, then blocked him in the corner, and stubbornly looked at the man in front of him.
He didn't know how Ghost Face General guessed it, but he knew that he had to make it clear.
If the ghost-faced general escaped now and happened when he first entered the camp, he would definitely feel very happy. He felt that it would be better if the ghost-faced general did not pursue it, and that everyone would live in peace.
But now he doesn't think so anymore, he likes this person, it's different from his liking for his father, mother, and elder brother, he wants to love him for the rest of his life.
"I really have something to do. There seems to be some movement in Xiaguo in front of me. I want to go over and have a look to confirm the situation."
"You haven't even changed your armor, and your weapons are still in the house."
After being exposed by Xu Jun, the ghost-faced general remained silent, frowning and pursing his lips, looking at the person in front of him in pain.
Why does Xu Jun have to tell him that it's not good for them to live in peace like before?He will pretend that he doesn't know anything, even though Xu Jun may not like him, just teasing him.
"I didn't do that on purpose!" Xu Jun cut straight to the point.
He hesitated, but now he has decided to make it clear.
The ghost-faced general was stunned, Xu Jun's straightforwardness made him a little dazed.
"I was drunk that day, and when I went outside to blow the night breeze to sober up, I fell asleep for some reason." Xu Jun's face was all tangled up, and there was really no credibility in saying this.
After that day, he also tried to recall the memory of that time, but no matter what he thought, he still couldn't remember why he appeared in the courtyard where the ghost-faced general lived.
The two places are not too far away, but there is a distance between them, and the corridor is not without guards.
But what he said was true, he was really drunk.
The only thing he remembers is that he ate a lot of braised hoofs and got a little dizzy from drinking. After he told Ping An, he went outside to have a breeze, and he couldn't remember it as he walked.
When he woke up, he was already lying on the bed, and his clothes were disheveled.
General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun in front of him, his whole body seemed to be a little sore and limp as if he was overly nervous, he didn't know what was wrong with him.
General Ghost Face opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't make a sound.
"Then, when I woke up, I realized that we were already like that..." Xu Junyue whispered.
Thinking of what happened at that time, a thin layer of blush could not help appearing on his fair cheeks. At that time, the ghost-faced general's body was covered with bluish marks, and that place was even more...
Even after the fact, as long as Xu Jun thinks about the situation at that time, his heart will beat faster.
General Ghost Face closed his slightly opened mouth, and he stared silently at Xu Jun in front of him.
Xu Jun's expression didn't look like he was lying, but what Xu Jun said made him a little bit dumbfounded, and made him even more confused.
He originally thought about many possibilities. His first acquaintance with Xu Jun came from Jin Qi's introduction, Xu's boy, the youngest son of Xu Shangshu.
Even if he was at the border, he probably knew Xu Lan's embarrassment in the court, because of his relationship with Jin Qi, although he didn't know the Xu family, he was definitely on Jin Qi's side.
So for Xu Jun, at the beginning, he was somewhat defensive.
After guessing that the matter might have something to do with Xu Jun, he inevitably thought a lot. Even if he believed in Xu Jun, he couldn't trust his father Xu Lan like he believed in Xu Jun.
But after he thought a lot, Xu Jun told him that it was all because he was drunk...
Thinking about what happened when Xu Jun was drunk before, General Ghost Face couldn't laugh or cry even more, and the bitterness in his smile became more and more intense.
He was in a mess in his heart, but physically he was relieved immediately after listening to Xu Jun's explanation.
He believed Xu Jun's explanation almost immediately, but intellectually he couldn't accept it, and it was hard to accept it.
When he woke up and found that he was actually done by someone so unbearable, he still remembered the anger, disgust, and murderous intent. He couldn't find the culprit for a long time, and the extreme hatred did not follow. Dissipated but more intense.
After he found out that it might be Xu Jun, the hatred did not disappear.
It's just that he keeps telling himself that this matter has nothing to do with Xu Jun. He likes Xu Jun, but he hates that person very much. He keeps telling himself that these two people are different things.
Now Xu Jun told him that it was the same thing, the person he liked was the same person he hated the most, and the person he liked was the person he hated the most and wanted to kill the most!
"Not yet." Xu Jun anxiously looked at the person in front of him who hadn't moved for a long time.
"I'll think about it." After a long time, a dull voice came from under the mask.
General Ghost Face took a step to the side, passed Jun Xu and left.
At this moment, he was at a loss, and his heart was in a mess.
His liking for Xu Jun has not diminished, but the hatred that has accumulated in his heart for several months has not dissipated either.Even though he was relieved after knowing that the man was Xu Jun, he still couldn't immediately dispel the hatred.
Seeing General Ghost Face leave, Xu Jun wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but he still let him go.
Before he made up his mind to tell the story today, he didn't know that the ghost-faced general had already guessed something. The worst plan he made before he came was that the ghost-faced general was furious and arrested him and locked him up or cut him off. head.
Now that General Ghost Face left silently, he was a little caught off guard.
A long time after General Ghost Face left, Xu Jun slowly came out from that corner and returned to the accountant's side.
Back in the accounting room, Xu Jun was a little absent-minded.
Sima He next to him said a few words to Xu Jun, and seeing that Xu Jun was still in a daze, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of Xu Jun, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"
"Huh? What?"
"My subordinate is asking, sir, when are you going to buy seeds?" Sima He looked suspiciously at Xu Jun who was clearly absent-minded.
"What seed?"
"Didn't your lord say that we should sow all the seeds in the field before the end of the month?" Sima He asked.
If the war really starts, they will all retreat to the back of the city, and there may not be much time to care about it by then.
"Oh."
Thinking of this, Xu Jun got up and rummaged in the drawer for a while, found out the list that had been made before, took the money, and went out the door.
Seeing this, Sima He quickly called the people next to him to follow.
The frontier garrison has always used soldiers to raise soldiers. Most of the seeds are kept by themselves, but they still buy some more every year, and Xu Jun changed the planting plan this year, so he has to buy more seeds.
After arriving on the street, Xu Juncai finally recovered and led the crowd to walk up and down the street for half an hour before he finally bought all the seeds he wanted.
Xu Jun gave the things to the other soldiers and asked them to carry them on horseback. When they were about to go back, they met the group of bandits at the old place at the gate of the city.
Seeing the group of bandits, Sima He and the other soldiers immediately put themselves on guard, feeling a little envious of their enemies, so Xu Jun, who looked sleepy, naturally raised his hand and waved to them, saying hello.
"Are you beaten by Shuang?" The bandit leader who was also here rarely looked at Xu Jun who seemed to be beaten by Shuang and was completely paralyzed.
Xu Jun gave him a weak look, "What are you doing here?"
There are a lot of bandits at the gate of the city today, at least a hundred at first glance.Normally, the group of bandits would often appear in the city to buy and sell things, but most of the time only a dozen or so would come.
"Buy something."
"Ok?"
"It's not a good thing you did!" Furious at Xu Jun's baffled look, several familiar bandits came over and chattered.
Before, they relied on the armies on both sides to live. Although their lives were tight all the time, they were still passable, but this year they lost a lot of income because of Mr. Xu.
Because of the lack of income from Dayu, the people in the mountains had to raise money to buy something for the winter.
Xia Guo and Dayu went to war, and the lives of the people in their mountains were not going to be much easier.This time it seems that the two countries are going to fight big. Of course, they have to make some preparations in advance.
Speaking of this matter, everyone thought of red mushrooms.
"What do you say about the red mushroom?" one person asked.
Ever since Xu Jun taught them how to collect red mushrooms, the people in the mountains have been drilling into the mountains before dawn, but the weather was already a little late at that time, and it was the first time for them to get this thing, so the chances of success Not too big.
Some time ago, things were sorted out, but there was another war on Dayu's side, and they couldn't find Mr. Xu at that time, so they delayed.
"Oh, you sorted out your things and sent them to the camp." Xu Jun looked around, let go of the reins, walked to the side of the bandit leader, and sat down next to him. There was only such a stone nearby.
The bandit leader was squeezed to sit beside him, and he glared at Xu Jun, but Xu Jun was unmoved.
"Be careful yourselves, Yuan Guo has also joined the battlefield this time," Xu Jun said.
Yuan Guo was at the end of the mountain range, and Yuan Guo's participation in the battlefield not only had an impact on Dayu, but also had a great impact on the people in the mountains.Originally they were only attacked on two sides, but now they were attacked on three sides.
After hearing Xu Jun's concerned words, all the bandits were taken aback.
"Oh." The bandit leader complied obediently, and his tone softened a lot, "What's wrong with you today? Who made you unhappy?"
"Not unhappy." Xu Jun said in an obviously unhappy tone.
"Do you want to drink water?"
The bandit next to him hurriedly handed over a water bottle, and Xu Jun took it obediently, holding it in his hands and drank half full.
"I still have some dry food, do you want to eat?"
Xu Jun shook his head while stroking his stomach full of water.
After discussing with the bandits about the red mushroom, Xu Jun got on his horse and returned to the camp.
Just after entering the camp, Xu Jun saw a few familiar people waiting outside the accountant's room.
These people are the experienced herders that Xu Jun asked for from General Ghost Face, and they are responsible for raising the batch of cattle and sheep that he bought before.
Because the battle situation on the front line was unstable, the cattle and sheep were all driven to the grassland behind the city to graze, and this group of people also went there.
"Xiao Mister, you are back." Several people came forward.
Xu Jun handed over the seeds brought back to Sima He and asked him to deal with them first, "What's wrong?"
"Cubs."
"what?"
"The sheep you let us raise have cubs." Several people showed joy. "A lot of lambs have been born intermittently until now. We thought we should report it, so we came to take a look."
Hearing this, Xu Jun finally showed a smile on his face.
After saying hello to Sima He, Xu Jun immediately followed the group to the back of the city. Because the ranch was stationed a bit far away, it took some time for everyone to reach the ranch.
It was evening when Xu Jun returned to the camp after seeing the newborn lambs.
He bought both sheep and cattle before, and there are relatively more sheep, and many sheep have given birth in the past few months.
According to the previous plan, after the big sheep gave birth, some of them would be slaughtered to improve the food for the soldiers in the camp.However, this matter still needs to be reported to General Ghost Face before the slaughter can begin.
Xu Jun returned to the camp, and after arranging the seeds he bought earlier for everyone to sow, he wrote a request for instructions and walked towards the meeting hall.
After all this back and forth, it was already a few days later when Xu Jun stood in front of the gate of General Ghost Face's residence again.
Before knocking on the door, he was still a little apprehensive.
Xu Jun knocked on the door, but it was not General Ghost Face who came out to open the door, but two soldiers guarding the door.
Seeing Xu Jun, the two stopped Xu Jun who was about to go into the house, "Xiao Mister, the general is not here."
Xu Jun was a little puzzled. A long time ago, General Ghost-Mask would not let anyone approach his residence, so there has been no one guarding the gate of General Ghost-Mask for a while.
"Then when will he come back?" Xu Jun stretched his neck and looked into the house while holding the documents. The residence of General Ghost Face was more like a small courtyard. He stood at the entrance, so he couldn't see the situation inside the house.
"The general didn't say anything, if Mr. Xiao has something to do, why don't you tell us, and we will tell the general when the general returns." One of them suggested.
Xu Jun stood at the door for a while, but seeing that the ghost-faced general did not appear, he handed over the information in his hand to the gatekeepers and asked them to forward it on their behalf.
In the evening, Xu Jun went to the meeting hall again. He was going to talk to General Ghost Face and talk about cattle and sheep in person, but he still didn't see anyone.
No one was found in the conference hall, so Jun Xu went to look for him again, but after he was still blocked outside the door, Jun Xu realized something was wrong, General Ghost Face seemed to be avoiding him.
Aware of this, Xu Jun stood at the door a little confused.
He was hesitating whether to sneak in to have a look, when Tao Chi came out of the house.
"Is the general in there?" Xu Jun asked.
"No." Tao Chi said, "By the way, the general agreed to the matter you reported earlier."
Xu Jun obviously didn't believe Tao Chi's words, if the general wasn't in the house, why would Tao Chi go in the house by himself?
Xu Jun raised his foot and walked into the house, and the two gatekeepers and Tao Chi quickly reached out to stop him, "The general is really not here."
"Really?"
"real."
The three of them finished speaking in unison, and Xu Jun had already rushed to the door at an extremely fast speed. After a while, before everyone could react, he was already standing at the door of the inner room.
Xu Jun looked around at the door, but he didn't see the ghost-faced general, only an empty room and an open window.
The three of them were startled, and hurried in to arrest Xu Jun.
Tao Chi entered the room and saw that the room was empty, his eyes flickered for a moment and said: "Look, I told you that there is no one, why should I lie to you?"
The two people who came in from the side quickly responded, saying that there was no one in the room, and Xu Jun left the yard surrounded by the three of them suspiciously.
Leaving the small courtyard, the two soldiers guarding the gate continued to guard the gate, while Tao Chi accompanied Xu Jun back.
"When are you going to start?"
"what?"
"Didn't you say you were going to slaughter the sheep?" Tao Chi looked greedy, but many people in the camp were waiting for this day.
If it weren't for the fact that these cattle and sheep couldn't be eaten raw directly, it is estimated that when Xu Jun just bought them back, he would have been eaten up by these people who looked at the cattle and sheep so greedy that their eyes turned green.
"I'll arrange a time."
"Call me if necessary." Tao Chi rarely took the initiative.
After this matter was confirmed, he couldn't help but leave immediately. When Xu Jun got up the next day and was about to go to the accountant to have a look, many soldiers on the road saw him and came up to him with smiles and asked when to eat meat.
At noon, the entire camp was filled with a joyous atmosphere, the tension and depression of the imminent war was completely gone, and everyone seemed to be celebrating the New Year.
Xu Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so in the afternoon, he arranged for people to go to the pasture behind, and selected a batch of large and fat rams. Finally, he found a butcher, and the sheep began to be slaughtered the next day.
It is also a good season to say that mutton is warm in nature, and it is easy to get angry if it is often eaten, but it happens to be the weather in November, and the weather is already very cold, which is the most suitable season to eat mutton.
Moreover, mutton already has the effect of warming and tonifying. Eating mutton at this time can actually dispel the cold.
However, although mutton is a good thing, there are a lot of soldiers in the camp, so it is impossible to slaughter a batch and eat all the mutton.
After the sheep were slaughtered, Mr. Xu asked people to bring everything back.
The meat that could be stored for a period of time was put aside for the time being, and he first took the sheep bones to the cooks who were already gearing up.
In the evening of that day, the smell of mutton bone soup wafted from the cafeteria, so greedy that even Xu Jun couldn't help swallowing.
In the evening, when the bell rang for the end of the training, there was an explosion in the cafeteria.
The mutton soup is made from nourishing bones. Although there is no meat in it, a lot of other vegetables have been added, but the burst of meaty fragrance makes everyone want to drink two bowls in a row.
It's a pity that the quantity is limited, so there is a limit for each person, and everyone can only hold the soup bowl and divide it into two sips to drink slowly.
After the mutton bone soup was finished, it was the haggis, and then the meat. The smell that wafted from the cafeteria every now and then made the eyes of a group of elders glow red.
In less than five days, the scent somehow drifted to the camp next door. When Xu Jun finished planting the seeds and returned to the accounting room, there were several team leaders sitting in the room looking eagerly at each other.
These people are representatives sent by the deputy generals of several nearby camps, and they want to talk to Xu Jun about mutton soup, no, it is about buying cattle and sheep.
Seeing Xu Jun who came back from the field, everyone stood up unanimously and looked over eagerly.
"Little Mister." Everyone's attitude was unprecedentedly good.
From the time they entered the camp here, they seemed to smell the smell of meat in the air of the camp, and they didn't stop drooling all the way down.
"What happened?" Xu Jun asked.
"Sir, have you forgotten?" The crowd immediately became anxious, "Didn't it be agreed before that when the trial breeding here is successful, we will also buy some cattle and sheep for our camp?"
"Yeah, that's what I said before."
"Xiao Mister, you see that the meat is already eaten here, so we can't just let us just watch it like this?"
"Our grazing land over there has been circled."
Listening to everyone's words, Xu Jun remembered this incident, but he had to dispel everyone's enthusiasm, "The matter of raising cattle and sheep in your camp has been postponed."
"What?!" Everyone panicked.
"You also know that the big battle is coming. If we add more cattle and sheep at this time, the fight will be very troublesome..." Xu Jundao.
There are at least tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in a camp. If you want to buy cattle and sheep, you can't just buy two or three hundred. When the time comes to war, these things may become a drag.
"Don't, Mr. Xiao, we promise that it will never affect anything!"
"That is, don't worry, we are definitely optimistic about them."
"Even if those people from Xia Kingdom call, we will definitely not let them get hurt, and we will definitely protect them intact."
Xu Jun looked at this group of tall and burly captains who were about to cry with the eyes of an idiot. This group of people probably forgot that they were soldiers to protect Dayu, not a few sheep.
"Okay, I will think about this matter again." Xu Jun interrupted everyone's begging, thought for a while, and under the eyes of everyone, he said: "I will talk to the general about the cattle and sheep. If the general If you don’t agree, then there’s nothing you can do.”
Hearing the name of General Ghost Face, everyone fell silent.
When the army buys something, it needs the approval of the ghost-faced general before the accountant can approve the money.
Although most of the time it is the accountant who manages these trivial matters, and when necessary, the accountant submits the application first, and then the ghost-faced general makes a decision, but the final decision is in the hands of the ghost-faced general.
Little Mr. Xu Jun's reputation in the camp is quite famous, and everyone probably knows his temper, so they can still cry and plead for mercy in front of Xu Jun.
But even if they were given two hundred guts, they would not dare to cry at General Ghost Face.
"Then I will trouble you, Mr. Xiao."
"Mr. Xiao, please help us to say more good things. You may not be able to call from Xia Guo, right?"
Xu Jun raised his hand and waved it in disgust, and drove everyone out of the accounting room, telling them to go back and wait for news.
He originally thought that these people must have gone back early, but he saw them again in the evening. At first, he thought that there was something wrong with Xia Guo.
It wasn't until he saw this group of green-eyed people holding bowls in the cafeteria during the meal that he couldn't help but understand that the emotional group came here to eat.
Xu Jun had no choice but to laugh at the cheekiness of this group of people. Later, he thought about it carefully, wrote a feasible application form, and counted the time to find General Ghost Face.
No one knows whether the war will start or how long it will last. If you are always afraid of this and that, you will be unable to do many things at all.
Xu Jun was thinking about his words while going to the meeting hall. When he was about to reach the meeting hall, he saw General Ghost Face leading a group of people walking towards this side.
The moment their eyes met, both of them were a little surprised, and the ghost-faced general obviously didn't expect to meet Xu Jun here.
"General, I have something to tell you." Xu Jun stopped walking.
General Ghost Face paused in his footsteps, but he didn't stop. He and Xu Jun passed by.
In the palace, when Xu Lan jumped off his horse and rushed towards the palace, his face could not conceal the exhaustion.
Entering the palace quickly, Xu Lan couldn't wait for the eunuch to report, and immediately went to the imperial study.
Jin Qi, who was originally dealing with government affairs inside, saw Xu Lan rushing in suddenly, he waved the person next to him who was trying to stop Xu Lan to go out, "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, the situation on the side of the rebel army has been confirmed." Xu Lan's expression was not good, and he was still somewhat cautious under the exhaustion.
Upon hearing this, Jin Qi immediately put down the pen in his hand.
He went out to let the eunuch guarding the door back away. He didn't look at Xu Lan until he confirmed that there were only two people nearby.
"The leader of the rebel army should be the remnants of Jinyi's side. Whoever it is may have been found out now, but the emperor, the minister is not in a hurry to come back because of this matter." While speaking, Xu Lan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him. In the past, "the reasons why the rebels were able to foment rapid population development were known."
Jin Qi took it and looked at it.
His face turned dark with just one glance, and a look of anger appeared on his face. He slapped the letter in his hand on the table, but he didn't speak, he just looked at Xu Lan angrily.
"Your Majesty, the general's identity has been exposed."
Jin Qi's eyes flickered, "What's going on?"
As far as Jin Qi knows about this matter, only four people know about it, he, Xu Lan, General Ghost Face himself and Xu Jun.
Regardless of other things, judging from the current situation, the most suspicious person is Xu Lan in front of him.
Because Xu Lan had stayed in Jingshan City for a while, and his eldest son Xu Ming was the leader of the local army garrison in Anqing, he was satisfied no matter in terms of time, place and conditions.
"I don't know how the news leaked yet, but the reason they did this..." Xu Lan didn't say what he said next, because it was already stated in his letter to Jin Qi.
The rebel army is using the excuse that Jin Qi may not be the blood of the Jin family of the Dayu royal family, and continues to win people's hearts and build momentum. As for the ultimate goal, it is already self-evident.
Jin Qi pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache. This incident has always been a thorn in his heart. He thought that after killing all the members of the Li family, no one would know the secret anymore, but he did not expect it to turn out like this now.
The only people who knew this secret were the two of their family and the Xu family, and the only people who could do so were members of the Xu family.Even if he didn't want to believe it, all the arrows pointed to the Xu family.
Jin Qi was silent for a long time. After a long time, he looked up at Xu Lan with a painful look on his face, "You know, I never thought of killing you."
Jin Qi didn't call himself 'Zhen', it was before he ascended the throne, that was more than ten years ago.
"I know." Xu Lan didn't change his face.
Jin Qi was surprised, and almost blurted out his doubts in his heart, "Then why did you return your military power?"
Xu Lan helped him avenge his enthronement. He has always been grateful to Xu Lan, and has always respected him as his father and husband from the bottom of his heart, but Xu Lan slowly returned his military power and even prepared to fade out of the court after he ascended the throne.
Looking at Jin Qi like this, Xu Lan remained humble and indifferent as always, "When the child grows up, he must learn to walk and run by himself."
Jin Qi was stunned, unable to make a sound for a long while.
"I can plan for the emperor for five, ten, or 15 years, but I can't plan for the emperor for a lifetime. Some roads, the emperor should learn to walk by himself when he grows up."
Jin Qi laughed out loud, but his eyes were red, and he turned his head to the side in embarrassment, not looking at Xu Lan.
He should have thought earlier that Xu Lan would always be that Xu Lan, the one who planned a world for him because he was out of breath and begged him to help him, the No. 1 in that world.
Suddenly, Jin Qi remembered the past.
He is thirty now, and Xu Ming is twenty-four. When he first entered Xu Lan's name, he hugged and coaxed Xu Ming for Xu Lan.
Xu Lan had just been an official in the court at that time, she was not very well-known, and there were many trivial things about her.
He has forgotten the specific reason why Xu Lan brought him to his house. What impressed him the most was that Xu Lan took care of the crying Xu Ming by himself. famous.
Later, he guessed that Xu Ming was probably hungry, and he couldn't move away to prepare for food, so he stuffed Xu Ming, who was still in his swaddling baby, into his arms and let him hold him.
After that, the two coaxed Xu Ming to feed him, and when he fell asleep again, they were both terribly tired.
He can't remember the specific details at that time, but he still remembers his envy for Xu Ming.
Although he is a prince, he is high and high, but his father and emperor have never looked at him because of his mother and concubine, and the concubine Li who adopted him in name has such a vicious temper, so he is more precocious than any prince. Everyone envies and longs for affection and care.
He killed all the members of the Li family, all the brothers, and even killed his father and mother, but he couldn't feel any murderous intentions towards Xu Lan. A large part of the reason was that Xu Lan was the only "adult" who really treated him well in this world. .
"Mr. Xu certainly did not leak this matter, and the general's side should not be possible, so the only possibility now is that there is a third person in the camp who knows the identity of the general." Xu Lan changed the subject.
Jin Qi, with red eyes, took a deep breath to calm down the violent fluctuations in his heart, "Then what do you think should be done now?"
"The worst situation has already happened. It is impossible to stop the mouths of those rebels..."
in camp.
Xu Jun looked at the person who was shoulder to shoulder with him and did not turn his head, and he was even more sure of the ghost-faced general's avoidance.
Faced with such a result, Xu Jun was very surprised. He thought that this person would definitely lose his temper when he knew about it, instead of pretending not to know anything and avoiding him like this.
In the next few days, Xu Jun ran extraordinarily diligently, but no matter where he found this person, the final result was the same.If there is nothing to do, let him go out, and if there is something to do, leave the information and he will read it later.
Two days later, when Xu Jun was so depressed that he was squatting on the ground outside the account room and drawing circles, General Ghost Face walked past with Tao Chi and a few others.
Seeing Xu Jun squatting on the ground depressed, several people all looked over.
However, during this period of time, everyone also found that something unpleasant happened between General Ghost Face and Mr. Xu, so no one dared to say hello to Mr. Xu.
Seeing a few people, Xu Jun quickly stood up and ran forward in a fawning manner.
Seeing Xu Jun coming towards him, General Ghost Face panicked in his eyes, he turned his head in a panic and ignored it.
After Xu Jun ran over, he hugged Tao Chi's arm next to General Ghost Face, and then his sweet voice came out, "Taozi..."
Tao Chi was so excited at the time that he got goosebumps all over his body.
"Why?" Tao Chi's scalp was numb, and he pulled his arm out of Xu Jun's hand.
"peach."
"Just say something, and I've already said it's Tao! Chi!"
"Tao Chi." Xu Jun changed his words obediently, and moved closer.
"..."
"Didn't you say before that I can ask you for help anytime I have something, are you free anytime?" Xu Jun blinked his big eyes, his eyes were flattering.
Tao Chi faced the gazes of the people around him, and a chill ran down his spine.
He said this before, but at that time he wanted to help Xu Jun slaughter sheep!
"Are you hungry, may I treat you to eat?"
"I'm not hungry."
Xu Jun stretched out his hand to feel in his bosom, and after a while, he took out the baby's small oil paper bag with small snacks, and handed it up with both hands, "Here is the jerky."
Tao Chi refused to answer, even if he was given a hundred guts, he would not dare to answer.
"Tao Chi, Chi Chi..."
"Brother, what exactly do you want?" Tao Chi was really about to cry at this moment, because the cold gaze from the side almost pierced him.
Tao Chi turned his head slightly, trying to sneak a glimpse of the ghost-faced general standing beside him exuding a terrifying murderous intent.
Just as he turned his head slightly, he met a pair of scarlet eyes. In those eyes, his body had been separated, he was a dead person.
At that moment, Tao Chi even had the urge to turn around, kneel down and hug the ghost-faced general's thigh, and then raised three fingers, swearing to the sky that he and Xu Junqing were absolutely innocent.
"Chi Chi."
This time it wasn't just Tao Chi, even the people around him couldn't help shaking.
The ghost-faced general stared secretly at Xu Jun's hand tightly hugging Tao Chi's arm, his eyes under the mask were red.
Listening to Xu Jun's cloyingly sweet voice and those flattering words, his heart was so sad that it almost melted his whole being!Not only his person, but even his fine iron armor seemed to be able to be melted away.
"I want to arrange for people to retreat, but there are not enough people, Chi Chi, can you—"
Before Xu Jun could finish his words, he suddenly found himself being pulled by a force, and then his feet left the ground, and he ran into the air.
The ghost-faced general couldn't take it anymore when he looked at the arms of the two who had been holding each other for half a cup of tea!
Decided to hide from Xu Jun until he sorted out the matter, he knew it was his fault.But it's only been a few days, why doesn't Xu Jun want him to be with someone else?
He took a step forward, glared at Tao Chi fiercely, then grabbed Xu Jun and pulled Xu Jun away from Tao Chi, and pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly.
This man is his!
All of a sudden, there was silence all around.
General Ghost Face hugged the person in his arms, his heart was so sad that even his breathing was sour.He directly carried Xu Jun onto his shoulder with all his strength, snatched Xu Jun, turned around and left angrily.
The ghost-faced general who had already left the door heard the shouts behind him and the sound of chasing footsteps. His steps became more and more rapid, and he almost fled away.
After guessing that the matter might be related to Xu Jun, he hesitated for a long time, and finally let Tao Chi put down the investigation for the time being, because he was afraid of knowing the result.
He is already like this, why does Xu Jun keep chasing him?
"General, wait." Xu Jun quickly chased after him.
Some things must be made clear, otherwise the wound under the scab will never heal, and may even fester.
The ghost-faced general walked faster, without looking back at all, he just walked forward quickly, trying to stay away from Xu Jun.
"Not yet!"
Xu Jun was a little angry, looking at the ghost-faced general who was running away very fast in front of him, he couldn't catch up even if he trotted.
Hearing these two words, General Ghost Face paused, and the next moment, he fled even faster.
Xu Jun stood where he was, staring blankly at the fleeing ghost-faced general.It would be an absolute lie to say that he hadn't noticed anything unusual at all at this moment.
Looking at the ghost-faced general who was almost running away, Xu Jun felt bitterness in his throat, and he finally mustered up the courage to explain clearly to him, why did he want to run away instead?
"Ouch!"
The ghost-faced general who was about to walk out of the corridor heard the sound of pain coming from behind him, he stopped and turned around.
Xu Jun, who had been chasing him, fell to the ground somehow.Both of Xu Jun's hands were on the ground, and when General Ghost Face looked back, Xu Jun was raising his palms to look.
It seemed that the skin was worn out, and he blew into his palm with a bitter face, as if it would not hurt.
Almost instinctively, the ghost-faced general quickly walked a few steps towards him, and when he was about to get close to Xu Jun, he remembered that he should run away.
Xu Jun didn't notice his movements. He sat on the ground and raised the palm of his other hand to look at it, frowning as if it was in extreme pain.
The person under the mask sighed silently, and finally walked over and squatted down, "Where did you fall? Let me see—"
Before General Ghost Face could finish his concerned words, Jun Xu had already rushed towards him, holding him tightly with both hands!
Xu Jun's strength was so strong that both General Ghost Face and himself fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was no one around here, so no one noticed the two people who fell together here.
"You..." General Ghost Face found himself fooled.
"I got you."
Xu Jun held the ghost-faced general's arm tightly. He raised his head and looked around. When he saw the soldiers standing guard in the distance, he stood up. The back of the house that cannot be seen.
This was the corner where they hugged and kissed when they met again in January, not far from the corridor, barely hidden.
Xu Jun forcefully dragged the man to a corner, then blocked him in the corner, and stubbornly looked at the man in front of him.
He didn't know how Ghost Face General guessed it, but he knew that he had to make it clear.
If the ghost-faced general escaped now and happened when he first entered the camp, he would definitely feel very happy. He felt that it would be better if the ghost-faced general did not pursue it, and that everyone would live in peace.
But now he doesn't think so anymore, he likes this person, it's different from his liking for his father, mother, and elder brother, he wants to love him for the rest of his life.
"I really have something to do. There seems to be some movement in Xiaguo in front of me. I want to go over and have a look to confirm the situation."
"You haven't even changed your armor, and your weapons are still in the house."
After being exposed by Xu Jun, the ghost-faced general remained silent, frowning and pursing his lips, looking at the person in front of him in pain.
Why does Xu Jun have to tell him that it's not good for them to live in peace like before?He will pretend that he doesn't know anything, even though Xu Jun may not like him, just teasing him.
"I didn't do that on purpose!" Xu Jun cut straight to the point.
He hesitated, but now he has decided to make it clear.
The ghost-faced general was stunned, Xu Jun's straightforwardness made him a little dazed.
"I was drunk that day, and when I went outside to blow the night breeze to sober up, I fell asleep for some reason." Xu Jun's face was all tangled up, and there was really no credibility in saying this.
After that day, he also tried to recall the memory of that time, but no matter what he thought, he still couldn't remember why he appeared in the courtyard where the ghost-faced general lived.
The two places are not too far away, but there is a distance between them, and the corridor is not without guards.
But what he said was true, he was really drunk.
The only thing he remembers is that he ate a lot of braised hoofs and got a little dizzy from drinking. After he told Ping An, he went outside to have a breeze, and he couldn't remember it as he walked.
When he woke up, he was already lying on the bed, and his clothes were disheveled.
General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun in front of him, his whole body seemed to be a little sore and limp as if he was overly nervous, he didn't know what was wrong with him.
General Ghost Face opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't make a sound.
"Then, when I woke up, I realized that we were already like that..." Xu Junyue whispered.
Thinking of what happened at that time, a thin layer of blush could not help appearing on his fair cheeks. At that time, the ghost-faced general's body was covered with bluish marks, and that place was even more...
Even after the fact, as long as Xu Jun thinks about the situation at that time, his heart will beat faster.
General Ghost Face closed his slightly opened mouth, and he stared silently at Xu Jun in front of him.
Xu Jun's expression didn't look like he was lying, but what Xu Jun said made him a little bit dumbfounded, and made him even more confused.
He originally thought about many possibilities. His first acquaintance with Xu Jun came from Jin Qi's introduction, Xu's boy, the youngest son of Xu Shangshu.
Even if he was at the border, he probably knew Xu Lan's embarrassment in the court, because of his relationship with Jin Qi, although he didn't know the Xu family, he was definitely on Jin Qi's side.
So for Xu Jun, at the beginning, he was somewhat defensive.
After guessing that the matter might have something to do with Xu Jun, he inevitably thought a lot. Even if he believed in Xu Jun, he couldn't trust his father Xu Lan like he believed in Xu Jun.
But after he thought a lot, Xu Jun told him that it was all because he was drunk...
Thinking about what happened when Xu Jun was drunk before, General Ghost Face couldn't laugh or cry even more, and the bitterness in his smile became more and more intense.
He was in a mess in his heart, but physically he was relieved immediately after listening to Xu Jun's explanation.
He believed Xu Jun's explanation almost immediately, but intellectually he couldn't accept it, and it was hard to accept it.
When he woke up and found that he was actually done by someone so unbearable, he still remembered the anger, disgust, and murderous intent. He couldn't find the culprit for a long time, and the extreme hatred did not follow. Dissipated but more intense.
After he found out that it might be Xu Jun, the hatred did not disappear.
It's just that he keeps telling himself that this matter has nothing to do with Xu Jun. He likes Xu Jun, but he hates that person very much. He keeps telling himself that these two people are different things.
Now Xu Jun told him that it was the same thing, the person he liked was the same person he hated the most, and the person he liked was the person he hated the most and wanted to kill the most!
"Not yet." Xu Jun anxiously looked at the person in front of him who hadn't moved for a long time.
"I'll think about it." After a long time, a dull voice came from under the mask.
General Ghost Face took a step to the side, passed Jun Xu and left.
At this moment, he was at a loss, and his heart was in a mess.
His liking for Xu Jun has not diminished, but the hatred that has accumulated in his heart for several months has not dissipated either.Even though he was relieved after knowing that the man was Xu Jun, he still couldn't immediately dispel the hatred.
Seeing General Ghost Face leave, Xu Jun wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but he still let him go.
Before he made up his mind to tell the story today, he didn't know that the ghost-faced general had already guessed something. The worst plan he made before he came was that the ghost-faced general was furious and arrested him and locked him up or cut him off. head.
Now that General Ghost Face left silently, he was a little caught off guard.
A long time after General Ghost Face left, Xu Jun slowly came out from that corner and returned to the accountant's side.
Back in the accounting room, Xu Jun was a little absent-minded.
Sima He next to him said a few words to Xu Jun, and seeing that Xu Jun was still in a daze, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of Xu Jun, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"
"Huh? What?"
"My subordinate is asking, sir, when are you going to buy seeds?" Sima He looked suspiciously at Xu Jun who was clearly absent-minded.
"What seed?"
"Didn't your lord say that we should sow all the seeds in the field before the end of the month?" Sima He asked.
If the war really starts, they will all retreat to the back of the city, and there may not be much time to care about it by then.
"Oh."
Thinking of this, Xu Jun got up and rummaged in the drawer for a while, found out the list that had been made before, took the money, and went out the door.
Seeing this, Sima He quickly called the people next to him to follow.
The frontier garrison has always used soldiers to raise soldiers. Most of the seeds are kept by themselves, but they still buy some more every year, and Xu Jun changed the planting plan this year, so he has to buy more seeds.
After arriving on the street, Xu Juncai finally recovered and led the crowd to walk up and down the street for half an hour before he finally bought all the seeds he wanted.
Xu Jun gave the things to the other soldiers and asked them to carry them on horseback. When they were about to go back, they met the group of bandits at the old place at the gate of the city.
Seeing the group of bandits, Sima He and the other soldiers immediately put themselves on guard, feeling a little envious of their enemies, so Xu Jun, who looked sleepy, naturally raised his hand and waved to them, saying hello.
"Are you beaten by Shuang?" The bandit leader who was also here rarely looked at Xu Jun who seemed to be beaten by Shuang and was completely paralyzed.
Xu Jun gave him a weak look, "What are you doing here?"
There are a lot of bandits at the gate of the city today, at least a hundred at first glance.Normally, the group of bandits would often appear in the city to buy and sell things, but most of the time only a dozen or so would come.
"Buy something."
"Ok?"
"It's not a good thing you did!" Furious at Xu Jun's baffled look, several familiar bandits came over and chattered.
Before, they relied on the armies on both sides to live. Although their lives were tight all the time, they were still passable, but this year they lost a lot of income because of Mr. Xu.
Because of the lack of income from Dayu, the people in the mountains had to raise money to buy something for the winter.
Xia Guo and Dayu went to war, and the lives of the people in their mountains were not going to be much easier.This time it seems that the two countries are going to fight big. Of course, they have to make some preparations in advance.
Speaking of this matter, everyone thought of red mushrooms.
"What do you say about the red mushroom?" one person asked.
Ever since Xu Jun taught them how to collect red mushrooms, the people in the mountains have been drilling into the mountains before dawn, but the weather was already a little late at that time, and it was the first time for them to get this thing, so the chances of success Not too big.
Some time ago, things were sorted out, but there was another war on Dayu's side, and they couldn't find Mr. Xu at that time, so they delayed.
"Oh, you sorted out your things and sent them to the camp." Xu Jun looked around, let go of the reins, walked to the side of the bandit leader, and sat down next to him. There was only such a stone nearby.
The bandit leader was squeezed to sit beside him, and he glared at Xu Jun, but Xu Jun was unmoved.
"Be careful yourselves, Yuan Guo has also joined the battlefield this time," Xu Jun said.
Yuan Guo was at the end of the mountain range, and Yuan Guo's participation in the battlefield not only had an impact on Dayu, but also had a great impact on the people in the mountains.Originally they were only attacked on two sides, but now they were attacked on three sides.
After hearing Xu Jun's concerned words, all the bandits were taken aback.
"Oh." The bandit leader complied obediently, and his tone softened a lot, "What's wrong with you today? Who made you unhappy?"
"Not unhappy." Xu Jun said in an obviously unhappy tone.
"Do you want to drink water?"
The bandit next to him hurriedly handed over a water bottle, and Xu Jun took it obediently, holding it in his hands and drank half full.
"I still have some dry food, do you want to eat?"
Xu Jun shook his head while stroking his stomach full of water.
After discussing with the bandits about the red mushroom, Xu Jun got on his horse and returned to the camp.
Just after entering the camp, Xu Jun saw a few familiar people waiting outside the accountant's room.
These people are the experienced herders that Xu Jun asked for from General Ghost Face, and they are responsible for raising the batch of cattle and sheep that he bought before.
Because the battle situation on the front line was unstable, the cattle and sheep were all driven to the grassland behind the city to graze, and this group of people also went there.
"Xiao Mister, you are back." Several people came forward.
Xu Jun handed over the seeds brought back to Sima He and asked him to deal with them first, "What's wrong?"
"Cubs."
"what?"
"The sheep you let us raise have cubs." Several people showed joy. "A lot of lambs have been born intermittently until now. We thought we should report it, so we came to take a look."
Hearing this, Xu Jun finally showed a smile on his face.
After saying hello to Sima He, Xu Jun immediately followed the group to the back of the city. Because the ranch was stationed a bit far away, it took some time for everyone to reach the ranch.
It was evening when Xu Jun returned to the camp after seeing the newborn lambs.
He bought both sheep and cattle before, and there are relatively more sheep, and many sheep have given birth in the past few months.
According to the previous plan, after the big sheep gave birth, some of them would be slaughtered to improve the food for the soldiers in the camp.However, this matter still needs to be reported to General Ghost Face before the slaughter can begin.
Xu Jun returned to the camp, and after arranging the seeds he bought earlier for everyone to sow, he wrote a request for instructions and walked towards the meeting hall.
After all this back and forth, it was already a few days later when Xu Jun stood in front of the gate of General Ghost Face's residence again.
Before knocking on the door, he was still a little apprehensive.
Xu Jun knocked on the door, but it was not General Ghost Face who came out to open the door, but two soldiers guarding the door.
Seeing Xu Jun, the two stopped Xu Jun who was about to go into the house, "Xiao Mister, the general is not here."
Xu Jun was a little puzzled. A long time ago, General Ghost-Mask would not let anyone approach his residence, so there has been no one guarding the gate of General Ghost-Mask for a while.
"Then when will he come back?" Xu Jun stretched his neck and looked into the house while holding the documents. The residence of General Ghost Face was more like a small courtyard. He stood at the entrance, so he couldn't see the situation inside the house.
"The general didn't say anything, if Mr. Xiao has something to do, why don't you tell us, and we will tell the general when the general returns." One of them suggested.
Xu Jun stood at the door for a while, but seeing that the ghost-faced general did not appear, he handed over the information in his hand to the gatekeepers and asked them to forward it on their behalf.
In the evening, Xu Jun went to the meeting hall again. He was going to talk to General Ghost Face and talk about cattle and sheep in person, but he still didn't see anyone.
No one was found in the conference hall, so Jun Xu went to look for him again, but after he was still blocked outside the door, Jun Xu realized something was wrong, General Ghost Face seemed to be avoiding him.
Aware of this, Xu Jun stood at the door a little confused.
He was hesitating whether to sneak in to have a look, when Tao Chi came out of the house.
"Is the general in there?" Xu Jun asked.
"No." Tao Chi said, "By the way, the general agreed to the matter you reported earlier."
Xu Jun obviously didn't believe Tao Chi's words, if the general wasn't in the house, why would Tao Chi go in the house by himself?
Xu Jun raised his foot and walked into the house, and the two gatekeepers and Tao Chi quickly reached out to stop him, "The general is really not here."
"Really?"
"real."
The three of them finished speaking in unison, and Xu Jun had already rushed to the door at an extremely fast speed. After a while, before everyone could react, he was already standing at the door of the inner room.
Xu Jun looked around at the door, but he didn't see the ghost-faced general, only an empty room and an open window.
The three of them were startled, and hurried in to arrest Xu Jun.
Tao Chi entered the room and saw that the room was empty, his eyes flickered for a moment and said: "Look, I told you that there is no one, why should I lie to you?"
The two people who came in from the side quickly responded, saying that there was no one in the room, and Xu Jun left the yard surrounded by the three of them suspiciously.
Leaving the small courtyard, the two soldiers guarding the gate continued to guard the gate, while Tao Chi accompanied Xu Jun back.
"When are you going to start?"
"what?"
"Didn't you say you were going to slaughter the sheep?" Tao Chi looked greedy, but many people in the camp were waiting for this day.
If it weren't for the fact that these cattle and sheep couldn't be eaten raw directly, it is estimated that when Xu Jun just bought them back, he would have been eaten up by these people who looked at the cattle and sheep so greedy that their eyes turned green.
"I'll arrange a time."
"Call me if necessary." Tao Chi rarely took the initiative.
After this matter was confirmed, he couldn't help but leave immediately. When Xu Jun got up the next day and was about to go to the accountant to have a look, many soldiers on the road saw him and came up to him with smiles and asked when to eat meat.
At noon, the entire camp was filled with a joyous atmosphere, the tension and depression of the imminent war was completely gone, and everyone seemed to be celebrating the New Year.
Xu Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so in the afternoon, he arranged for people to go to the pasture behind, and selected a batch of large and fat rams. Finally, he found a butcher, and the sheep began to be slaughtered the next day.
It is also a good season to say that mutton is warm in nature, and it is easy to get angry if it is often eaten, but it happens to be the weather in November, and the weather is already very cold, which is the most suitable season to eat mutton.
Moreover, mutton already has the effect of warming and tonifying. Eating mutton at this time can actually dispel the cold.
However, although mutton is a good thing, there are a lot of soldiers in the camp, so it is impossible to slaughter a batch and eat all the mutton.
After the sheep were slaughtered, Mr. Xu asked people to bring everything back.
The meat that could be stored for a period of time was put aside for the time being, and he first took the sheep bones to the cooks who were already gearing up.
In the evening of that day, the smell of mutton bone soup wafted from the cafeteria, so greedy that even Xu Jun couldn't help swallowing.
In the evening, when the bell rang for the end of the training, there was an explosion in the cafeteria.
The mutton soup is made from nourishing bones. Although there is no meat in it, a lot of other vegetables have been added, but the burst of meaty fragrance makes everyone want to drink two bowls in a row.
It's a pity that the quantity is limited, so there is a limit for each person, and everyone can only hold the soup bowl and divide it into two sips to drink slowly.
After the mutton bone soup was finished, it was the haggis, and then the meat. The smell that wafted from the cafeteria every now and then made the eyes of a group of elders glow red.
In less than five days, the scent somehow drifted to the camp next door. When Xu Jun finished planting the seeds and returned to the accounting room, there were several team leaders sitting in the room looking eagerly at each other.
These people are representatives sent by the deputy generals of several nearby camps, and they want to talk to Xu Jun about mutton soup, no, it is about buying cattle and sheep.
Seeing Xu Jun who came back from the field, everyone stood up unanimously and looked over eagerly.
"Little Mister." Everyone's attitude was unprecedentedly good.
From the time they entered the camp here, they seemed to smell the smell of meat in the air of the camp, and they didn't stop drooling all the way down.
"What happened?" Xu Jun asked.
"Sir, have you forgotten?" The crowd immediately became anxious, "Didn't it be agreed before that when the trial breeding here is successful, we will also buy some cattle and sheep for our camp?"
"Yeah, that's what I said before."
"Xiao Mister, you see that the meat is already eaten here, so we can't just let us just watch it like this?"
"Our grazing land over there has been circled."
Listening to everyone's words, Xu Jun remembered this incident, but he had to dispel everyone's enthusiasm, "The matter of raising cattle and sheep in your camp has been postponed."
"What?!" Everyone panicked.
"You also know that the big battle is coming. If we add more cattle and sheep at this time, the fight will be very troublesome..." Xu Jundao.
There are at least tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in a camp. If you want to buy cattle and sheep, you can't just buy two or three hundred. When the time comes to war, these things may become a drag.
"Don't, Mr. Xiao, we promise that it will never affect anything!"
"That is, don't worry, we are definitely optimistic about them."
"Even if those people from Xia Kingdom call, we will definitely not let them get hurt, and we will definitely protect them intact."
Xu Jun looked at this group of tall and burly captains who were about to cry with the eyes of an idiot. This group of people probably forgot that they were soldiers to protect Dayu, not a few sheep.
"Okay, I will think about this matter again." Xu Jun interrupted everyone's begging, thought for a while, and under the eyes of everyone, he said: "I will talk to the general about the cattle and sheep. If the general If you don’t agree, then there’s nothing you can do.”
Hearing the name of General Ghost Face, everyone fell silent.
When the army buys something, it needs the approval of the ghost-faced general before the accountant can approve the money.
Although most of the time it is the accountant who manages these trivial matters, and when necessary, the accountant submits the application first, and then the ghost-faced general makes a decision, but the final decision is in the hands of the ghost-faced general.
Little Mr. Xu Jun's reputation in the camp is quite famous, and everyone probably knows his temper, so they can still cry and plead for mercy in front of Xu Jun.
But even if they were given two hundred guts, they would not dare to cry at General Ghost Face.
"Then I will trouble you, Mr. Xiao."
"Mr. Xiao, please help us to say more good things. You may not be able to call from Xia Guo, right?"
Xu Jun raised his hand and waved it in disgust, and drove everyone out of the accounting room, telling them to go back and wait for news.
He originally thought that these people must have gone back early, but he saw them again in the evening. At first, he thought that there was something wrong with Xia Guo.
It wasn't until he saw this group of green-eyed people holding bowls in the cafeteria during the meal that he couldn't help but understand that the emotional group came here to eat.
Xu Jun had no choice but to laugh at the cheekiness of this group of people. Later, he thought about it carefully, wrote a feasible application form, and counted the time to find General Ghost Face.
No one knows whether the war will start or how long it will last. If you are always afraid of this and that, you will be unable to do many things at all.
Xu Jun was thinking about his words while going to the meeting hall. When he was about to reach the meeting hall, he saw General Ghost Face leading a group of people walking towards this side.
The moment their eyes met, both of them were a little surprised, and the ghost-faced general obviously didn't expect to meet Xu Jun here.
"General, I have something to tell you." Xu Jun stopped walking.
General Ghost Face paused in his footsteps, but he didn't stop. He and Xu Jun passed by.
In the palace, when Xu Lan jumped off his horse and rushed towards the palace, his face could not conceal the exhaustion.
Entering the palace quickly, Xu Lan couldn't wait for the eunuch to report, and immediately went to the imperial study.
Jin Qi, who was originally dealing with government affairs inside, saw Xu Lan rushing in suddenly, he waved the person next to him who was trying to stop Xu Lan to go out, "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, the situation on the side of the rebel army has been confirmed." Xu Lan's expression was not good, and he was still somewhat cautious under the exhaustion.
Upon hearing this, Jin Qi immediately put down the pen in his hand.
He went out to let the eunuch guarding the door back away. He didn't look at Xu Lan until he confirmed that there were only two people nearby.
"The leader of the rebel army should be the remnants of Jinyi's side. Whoever it is may have been found out now, but the emperor, the minister is not in a hurry to come back because of this matter." While speaking, Xu Lan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him. In the past, "the reasons why the rebels were able to foment rapid population development were known."
Jin Qi took it and looked at it.
His face turned dark with just one glance, and a look of anger appeared on his face. He slapped the letter in his hand on the table, but he didn't speak, he just looked at Xu Lan angrily.
"Your Majesty, the general's identity has been exposed."
Jin Qi's eyes flickered, "What's going on?"
As far as Jin Qi knows about this matter, only four people know about it, he, Xu Lan, General Ghost Face himself and Xu Jun.
Regardless of other things, judging from the current situation, the most suspicious person is Xu Lan in front of him.
Because Xu Lan had stayed in Jingshan City for a while, and his eldest son Xu Ming was the leader of the local army garrison in Anqing, he was satisfied no matter in terms of time, place and conditions.
"I don't know how the news leaked yet, but the reason they did this..." Xu Lan didn't say what he said next, because it was already stated in his letter to Jin Qi.
The rebel army is using the excuse that Jin Qi may not be the blood of the Jin family of the Dayu royal family, and continues to win people's hearts and build momentum. As for the ultimate goal, it is already self-evident.
Jin Qi pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache. This incident has always been a thorn in his heart. He thought that after killing all the members of the Li family, no one would know the secret anymore, but he did not expect it to turn out like this now.
The only people who knew this secret were the two of their family and the Xu family, and the only people who could do so were members of the Xu family.Even if he didn't want to believe it, all the arrows pointed to the Xu family.
Jin Qi was silent for a long time. After a long time, he looked up at Xu Lan with a painful look on his face, "You know, I never thought of killing you."
Jin Qi didn't call himself 'Zhen', it was before he ascended the throne, that was more than ten years ago.
"I know." Xu Lan didn't change his face.
Jin Qi was surprised, and almost blurted out his doubts in his heart, "Then why did you return your military power?"
Xu Lan helped him avenge his enthronement. He has always been grateful to Xu Lan, and has always respected him as his father and husband from the bottom of his heart, but Xu Lan slowly returned his military power and even prepared to fade out of the court after he ascended the throne.
Looking at Jin Qi like this, Xu Lan remained humble and indifferent as always, "When the child grows up, he must learn to walk and run by himself."
Jin Qi was stunned, unable to make a sound for a long while.
"I can plan for the emperor for five, ten, or 15 years, but I can't plan for the emperor for a lifetime. Some roads, the emperor should learn to walk by himself when he grows up."
Jin Qi laughed out loud, but his eyes were red, and he turned his head to the side in embarrassment, not looking at Xu Lan.
He should have thought earlier that Xu Lan would always be that Xu Lan, the one who planned a world for him because he was out of breath and begged him to help him, the No. 1 in that world.
Suddenly, Jin Qi remembered the past.
He is thirty now, and Xu Ming is twenty-four. When he first entered Xu Lan's name, he hugged and coaxed Xu Ming for Xu Lan.
Xu Lan had just been an official in the court at that time, she was not very well-known, and there were many trivial things about her.
He has forgotten the specific reason why Xu Lan brought him to his house. What impressed him the most was that Xu Lan took care of the crying Xu Ming by himself. famous.
Later, he guessed that Xu Ming was probably hungry, and he couldn't move away to prepare for food, so he stuffed Xu Ming, who was still in his swaddling baby, into his arms and let him hold him.
After that, the two coaxed Xu Ming to feed him, and when he fell asleep again, they were both terribly tired.
He can't remember the specific details at that time, but he still remembers his envy for Xu Ming.
Although he is a prince, he is high and high, but his father and emperor have never looked at him because of his mother and concubine, and the concubine Li who adopted him in name has such a vicious temper, so he is more precocious than any prince. Everyone envies and longs for affection and care.
He killed all the members of the Li family, all the brothers, and even killed his father and mother, but he couldn't feel any murderous intentions towards Xu Lan. A large part of the reason was that Xu Lan was the only "adult" who really treated him well in this world. .
"Mr. Xu certainly did not leak this matter, and the general's side should not be possible, so the only possibility now is that there is a third person in the camp who knows the identity of the general." Xu Lan changed the subject.
Jin Qi, with red eyes, took a deep breath to calm down the violent fluctuations in his heart, "Then what do you think should be done now?"
"The worst situation has already happened. It is impossible to stop the mouths of those rebels..."
in camp.
Xu Jun looked at the person who was shoulder to shoulder with him and did not turn his head, and he was even more sure of the ghost-faced general's avoidance.
Faced with such a result, Xu Jun was very surprised. He thought that this person would definitely lose his temper when he knew about it, instead of pretending not to know anything and avoiding him like this.
In the next few days, Xu Jun ran extraordinarily diligently, but no matter where he found this person, the final result was the same.If there is nothing to do, let him go out, and if there is something to do, leave the information and he will read it later.
Two days later, when Xu Jun was so depressed that he was squatting on the ground outside the account room and drawing circles, General Ghost Face walked past with Tao Chi and a few others.
Seeing Xu Jun squatting on the ground depressed, several people all looked over.
However, during this period of time, everyone also found that something unpleasant happened between General Ghost Face and Mr. Xu, so no one dared to say hello to Mr. Xu.
Seeing a few people, Xu Jun quickly stood up and ran forward in a fawning manner.
Seeing Xu Jun coming towards him, General Ghost Face panicked in his eyes, he turned his head in a panic and ignored it.
After Xu Jun ran over, he hugged Tao Chi's arm next to General Ghost Face, and then his sweet voice came out, "Taozi..."
Tao Chi was so excited at the time that he got goosebumps all over his body.
"Why?" Tao Chi's scalp was numb, and he pulled his arm out of Xu Jun's hand.
"peach."
"Just say something, and I've already said it's Tao! Chi!"
"Tao Chi." Xu Jun changed his words obediently, and moved closer.
"..."
"Didn't you say before that I can ask you for help anytime I have something, are you free anytime?" Xu Jun blinked his big eyes, his eyes were flattering.
Tao Chi faced the gazes of the people around him, and a chill ran down his spine.
He said this before, but at that time he wanted to help Xu Jun slaughter sheep!
"Are you hungry, may I treat you to eat?"
"I'm not hungry."
Xu Jun stretched out his hand to feel in his bosom, and after a while, he took out the baby's small oil paper bag with small snacks, and handed it up with both hands, "Here is the jerky."
Tao Chi refused to answer, even if he was given a hundred guts, he would not dare to answer.
"Tao Chi, Chi Chi..."
"Brother, what exactly do you want?" Tao Chi was really about to cry at this moment, because the cold gaze from the side almost pierced him.
Tao Chi turned his head slightly, trying to sneak a glimpse of the ghost-faced general standing beside him exuding a terrifying murderous intent.
Just as he turned his head slightly, he met a pair of scarlet eyes. In those eyes, his body had been separated, he was a dead person.
At that moment, Tao Chi even had the urge to turn around, kneel down and hug the ghost-faced general's thigh, and then raised three fingers, swearing to the sky that he and Xu Junqing were absolutely innocent.
"Chi Chi."
This time it wasn't just Tao Chi, even the people around him couldn't help shaking.
The ghost-faced general stared secretly at Xu Jun's hand tightly hugging Tao Chi's arm, his eyes under the mask were red.
Listening to Xu Jun's cloyingly sweet voice and those flattering words, his heart was so sad that it almost melted his whole being!Not only his person, but even his fine iron armor seemed to be able to be melted away.
"I want to arrange for people to retreat, but there are not enough people, Chi Chi, can you—"
Before Xu Jun could finish his words, he suddenly found himself being pulled by a force, and then his feet left the ground, and he ran into the air.
The ghost-faced general couldn't take it anymore when he looked at the arms of the two who had been holding each other for half a cup of tea!
Decided to hide from Xu Jun until he sorted out the matter, he knew it was his fault.But it's only been a few days, why doesn't Xu Jun want him to be with someone else?
He took a step forward, glared at Tao Chi fiercely, then grabbed Xu Jun and pulled Xu Jun away from Tao Chi, and pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly.
This man is his!
All of a sudden, there was silence all around.
General Ghost Face hugged the person in his arms, his heart was so sad that even his breathing was sour.He directly carried Xu Jun onto his shoulder with all his strength, snatched Xu Jun, turned around and left angrily.
