Wife is General Ghost Face
Chapter 58 You are not allowed to say chapters!
001.
There are only a few days of excitement in the camp. Once the New Year is over, before the Spring Festival, the camp will resume the usual schedule.
But it is different in the capital city. The New Year in the capital city will still be very lively until the end of the New Year and the Lantern Festival.
Especially this year, the capital will be extra lively, not only because of the victory, but also because Xu Lan, the master of the Shangshu Mansion in the capital, is very happy this year.
New Year's Eve has passed, the first day of the first month, Xiaonian, and Lantern Festival. In less than half a month after Lantern Festival, Xu Lan has already hosted a lot of friends for gatherings. In addition, this year he walked around with other people. is also extraordinarily diligent.
There is no other reason why Xu Lan is like this, but because during the Lantern Festival, his youngest son Xu Jun, who was far away from the border, brought him a gift from the border.
It was a leather jacket made of wolf fur. The workmanship was not very fine, but that jacket was made of the fur of several wolves, and it looked extraordinarily graceful, rich and majestic.
The Minister Xu Lan had been looking forward to the gift for a year, and finally he was looking forward to the gift from his son. It was such a hard-won gift, so he wanted to let the whole capital know that his son had given him a gift. .
You must wear it when you go out, you must mention it when you meet people, and you are my son...
Throughout the first month, almost all the ministers in the court were forced to listen to Xu Lan's Kuazi Jing, so that all the civil and military officials in the court knew how filial his son was.
The first month passed, and the second month came, the weather in the capital was not so cold long ago, and gradually became warmer, but Xu Shangshu was still wearing a leather jacket.
Even when he went to court, he had to wear a jacket on his body.
It was the end of another morning, Xu Lan walked out of the palace gate, stood in front of the carriage, and nervously patted the jacket on her body again and again, for fear of getting a little dust.
The officials next to him who went down together saw Xu Lan, and hurried to detour one by one, for fear that Xu Lan would drag them for another hour if he was in a good mood.
Xu Lan put away the jacket carefully, and was about to get into the carriage to go back, when the chief eunuch turned around, "Master Shangshu, please stay still."
Xu Lan turned around, "What's the matter?"
"The emperor invites Lord Shangshu to gather in the imperial study."
Xu Lan nodded, and followed him to the imperial study, because he was really reluctant to hand over the jacket in his hand to others, so he even hugged the jacket.
At the beginning of the new year, Dayu has won a big victory, and there are also a lot of things now.
In addition to settling down the cities and people that now belong to them in Dayu, the retirement of some veterans in the camp and the recruitment of new recruits are also a major event.
In addition, some things from last year have to be taken care of this year.
Last year they signed an alliance with Daning. After a year of rest, the situation in Daning has gradually eased. So at the beginning of the year, in addition to sending them tribute, they also sent people to send Some petitions for commerce.
Naturally, the alliance between the two countries cannot be just a name. Trade is inevitable, and there will be some other exchanges besides this.
This move can benefit both countries a lot, so both countries are happy to do so, so the emperors on both sides attach great importance to it.
In addition, when Dayu was fighting, Daning sent troops to respond to their border army's request and helped them. Although they didn't really send troops to attack, in general, they sold their favor. So now they have to say something about it.
Xu Lan is in charge of these matters. He has been busy with Daning during this period of time. He is not surprised that the emperor wants to see him now.
After entering the imperial study, what Jin Qi asked was indeed about these things.
"...Then do as agreed before, and try to introduce some new agricultural varieties." After reading the scriptures in front of him, Jin Qi rubbed the bridge of his nose.
Although Dayu is rich and powerful, not everything is good.
Their big elm is a little lacking in farming, not because the people on their side are lazy, but because of the terrain, the climate here is relatively hot and cold in winter, which leads to poor harvests in these two seasons .
"Yes."
When it comes to official business, both of them are quite serious.
"Also, what do you think about Daning's application to open the canal between the two countries?" Jin Qi asked.
Between Daning and Dayu, there is a river in a part of the middle, because this river is the junction of the two countries, so no one is allowed to come and go.
"If the canal is opened, judging from the current situation, it will be more beneficial to Daning. They seem to have contacts with the other countries nearby. The canal can reduce a lot of transportation time..."
After some discussion, by the time the two finished discussing these matters, it was already noon.
Today's weather is good. At noon, the sun is already shining outside the door.
Jin Qi got up to go out, and was about to ask Xu Lan who was next to him if he would stay in the palace to eat with him, when he saw that Xu Lan was wearing his woolen jacket again.
Since the whole first month, Xu Lan has always been dressed like this, no matter what he was wearing underneath, he was wearing that woolen jacket outside, which made the corners of Jin Qi's mouth twitch a little.
"Aren't you hot?" Jin Qi looked at the bright sunshine outside the door.
February comes after the first month, and the weather is not as cold as it was during the Chinese New Year. Many people have already put on thinner coats.
Seeing Jin Qi mentioning her coat, Xu Lan walked forward excitedly, "The emperor also thinks this coat looks good? This is the best wolf fur..."
Jin Qi turned his head and looked at the sunshine outside.
He was a little puzzled, why didn't such a big sun kill this noisy person?
"Stop, stop!" Seeing that the person next to him was about to continue, Jin Qi couldn't help but interrupt.
"If the emperor likes it, why don't you ask someone to make one?" Xu Lan touched the jacket on her body lovingly.
Jin Qi looked at the person next to him who was wrapped in a fur ball, and he was determined not to wear something.
"Speaking of which, these things should be common at the general's side, otherwise the emperor will ask the general?"
Hearing this, Jin Qi's heart instantly became sour.
He knew that these things were more common in the border army, but the man had stayed in the camp for more than ten years, and he never thought of getting him a jacket...
Jin Qi looked back at Xu Lan whose hair was fluttering gently with the breeze, like a flower peacock with its tail spread, and felt even more upset.
The two were standing in the yard outside the imperial study room basking in the sun and talking, when they saw the chief eunuch standing guard coming forward, he bowed slightly in front of the two of them, and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is back."
"He?" Jin Qi was startled, and then resisted his impulse to pretend to be calm, "Call him here, I want to see him."
"Yes."
The chief eunuch went down, and after a while, he led Lin Xu, who was dressed in green, into the courtyard.
Lin Xucai came back from the outside, travel-stained, with a slight tiredness on his face.
When the two came in front of Jin Qi and the two of them, the chief eunuch next to him bent down again and retreated outside consciously, his emotions were hugging Xu Lan and Jin Qi.
"Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu."
"Heh, are you willing to come back?" Jin Qi's mouth was bitter as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Your prime minister has worked hard." Xu Lan smiled.
"It's not hard work. I heard that Lord Shang Shu has been busy with Daning's affairs recently, so it's hard work." Lin Xu replied.
Jin Qi, who was neglected, looked at the two who ignored him in an official tone, with a bit of jealousy on his bitter face, "I thought you wouldn't come back."
Lin Xu finally took a look at Jin Qi, but still didn't reply.
Seeing this, Xu Lan offered to propose: "The emperor just sent someone to prepare the meal, and the prime minister just came back. I'm afraid the family hasn't prepared it yet, why don't we stay and have dinner together?"
Before Lin Xu opened his mouth to speak, Jin Qi on the side was already in a hurry, "Who allowed him to stay? It's my stuff, and I can only eat it for whomever I say!"
Jin Qi's childish words exploded in the courtyard, Xu Lan and Lin Xu looked back at him, as if they were looking at a child having a temper tantrum.
Jin Qi became more and more annoyed by the eyes of the two of them. He turned his head to look at Lin Xu, and pointed at him, "Your Excellency is very carefree. This absence from work lasted for more than a month or two. Do you know that this is a serious crime?" ?”
"The minister is on business." Lin Xu was neither surprised nor pleased.
"What business? I think you are clearly absent from work!"
"The minister handed over the notebook, didn't the emperor see it?"
"Did I agree?" Lin Xu handed over the paperwork, but when he saw it, the person had already run away, regardless of whether he agreed or not.
"By the way, Master Shangshu, I'm afraid I'll trouble you to go with me to check the affairs of several commercial firms." Lin Xu ignored Jin Qi next to him and looked at Xu Lan.
"Is there really a problem?"
"Well, judging from the current situation, although those people's hands and feet are not very big, they do cut corners."
It's not easy for the frontier army. The conditions are not good and the environment is so harsh. These people are still here to take advantage of the loopholes to suck blood. This is not something that people like.
"I'll make time."
Lin Xu clasped his fists together.
"You two!" Jin Qi slapped the stone table next to him.
Is he the emperor or are these two emperors?They actually dare to ignore him, dare to ignore him, which emperor in the whole world deserves him to be so useless?
"Believe it or not, I will arrest you two and kill you two!"
Lin Xu and Xu Lan looked at each other, and they continued talking.
"I met the young master, he is a good accountant."
As soon as Xu Lan heard Lin Xu mentioning Xu Jun, Xu Lan immediately became excited, and quickly asked for details, and then pulled on her body. Xu Lan quickly turned around to let Lin Xu appreciate the leather jacket on him, and got Lin Xu After the praise, he hummed happily.
Jin Qi squatted in the corner by himself and drew circles. He was not remembered by the two of them until the eunuchs had prepared the dishes in the sunny courtyard.
The three sat down, Lin Xu looked at the table full of delicacies, and couldn't help but think of the steamed buns he ate in the camp.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you didn't allocate food to the border army during the Chinese New Year this year?" Lin Xu asked.
"There is some tension in the national treasury this year." Jin Qi said.
The war has lasted for a year, during which time taxes have been raised.But an army of hundreds of thousands is not so easy to raise after all, not to mention that he has to support not only border troops, but also local garrisons.
"It's not easy for the frontier army to garrison troops. It's better for the emperor to show something. After all, we only won the battle last year."
Jin Qi nodded, he also had the same idea.
In any case, after winning a battle, being an emperor must show something.
"Since the emperor agrees, I'll ask the people from the treasury to send some things over there." Lin Xu immediately pulled out his little abacus from his sleeve, and began to fight.
"What are you doing?" The corner of Jin Qi's mouth twitched fiercely, a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
"Didn't the emperor say that he wanted to show something?"
"What I said was to make up for it when the situation gets better! I didn't ask you to plot against me..."
Xu Lan drank some wine, smiled and watched Lin Xu deduct Jin Qi's money to raise soldiers.
002.
After arguing to no avail, Jin Qi became even more ugly when he learned that he would only be able to eat kimchi for the next two months.
"He's fine, he's not injured." Lin Xu, who was the big winner, said suddenly after putting away his calculations.
Jin Qi was slightly stunned, took a sip of wine from the glass on the table, and smiled.
"And, the relationship between the two of them is also very good."
At that moment, Jin Qi just wanted to stuff his cup into Lin Xu's mouth!
Jin Qi, who was quite annoyed, glanced at Lin Xu, who seemed to be particularly sharp after coming back, moved his body a little uncomfortably, and buried his head in eating.
He is clearly the emperor, why is he so useless?
In the first month of the lunar year, the warm sun in spring makes people warm and makes people extra sleepy.
In the mountains where the frontier garrison was located, after the warm winter sun melted all the snow in the mountains, Xu Jun fell into the atmosphere of winter sleepiness.
Walking on the road, he would yawn from time to time, being warmed by the warm sun.
After the winter snow melted, the field became busy. After the heavy snow, the field had already sprouted buds, which looked extraordinarily vibrant.
However, besides wheat and some seasonal vegetables, there are many weeds that grow together.
This is the bad thing about the newly reclaimed land. There are many grass roots and seeds that they can't distinguish at all buried in the ground, and when the snow melts, they come out in pinches.
When it was almost February, Xu Jun, who was busy pulling weeds in the field, got the news that the court had sent him a batch of supplies.
Hearing this news, Xu Jun immediately became excited, threw away the things in his hand, turned around and ran towards the camp.
After returning to the camp, he met those who came to deliver the supplies. After Xu Jun learned the source and quantity of these supplies from them, his face burst into a smile.
Xu Jun received the supplies and arranged for other people to live there, and then excitedly ran to the group of soldiers who were unloading supplies.
While responding to the greetings from the people around him, while looking at those things, Tao Chi, who was excited, grabbed his collar and led him to the side.
"Taozi, what are you doing?" Xu Jun wanted to struggle, but Tao Chi immediately let go.
"The general asked me to come over and call you over."
"Huh?" Xu Jun was puzzled.
He often met with General Ghost Face, so it must not be a private matter for General Ghost Face to ask Tao Chi to come to him, but he couldn't think of anything recently if it was a business matter.
The camp has been rebuilding recently, and now many things have just been finished, and there is nothing special to pay attention to except for acceptance.
"A letter came from inside." Tao Chi said.
As soon as Tao Chi finished speaking, Xu Jun quickly ran towards where the ghost-faced general was.
"This guy!" Tao Chi also hurriedly followed.
When Tao Chi followed to the chamber, Xu Jun had already read all the letters in his hand.
The letter from the court was written by Lin Xu, and the part related to Mr. Xu was related to the materials. It said that the materials were gifts from Lin Xu.
Although I don't know where Lin Xu got so many things, Xu Jun immediately became happy when he saw the word "gift".
In addition to this incident, another incident was written on the letter, which was about the celebration banquet.
When the border army won the battle, the DPRK and China would naturally have to show something, and the army had to show something, and the same was true for General Ghost Face.
So this time Jin Qi passed the imperial decree as before to let the ghost-faced general return to Beijing, and he hosted a banquet in the palace to celebrate the ghost-faced general.
"General, do you want to go back?" Xu Jun asked.
General Ghost Face thought for a while, then nodded, he didn't want to leave Xu Jun here, but Xu Jun should be homesick.
"Are you going back with me?"
"Yes!" Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Xu Jun immediately became excited.
During the Chinese New Year, Xu Jun has been homesick all the time, but as the general accountant of the border army, he is not allowed to leave here without a good reason, and he can only think about it when he goes back to see something.
"Make preparations as soon as possible, and we will set off in a few days." General Ghost Face said, and he just happened to have something to say to Jin Qi when he returned.
Although it is okay to exchange letters for those things, but since Xu Jun is homesick, he will go back with him to have a look.
"Thank you, General." Xu Jun said softly.After finishing speaking, he stood up and threw himself on General Ghost Face, hugging his neck and rubbing against his neck.
After spending so much time with General Ghost Face, Xu Jun can be considered to know this person well.
Given the relationship between General Ghost Face and Jin Qi, Jin Qi's celebration banquet was probably just an excuse to let him go back and meet.
According to the past, the ghost-faced general might not go back, but now he agreed to go back so readily, probably because of him.
The ghost-faced general was silent, he pursed his thin lips lightly.
Seeing the two hugged together, Tao Chi silently looked away, he couldn't stand the two of them anymore.
Hearing that the two said they were going to leave, Tao Chi's eyes were slightly bitter. He originally planned to explain to General Ghost Face about leaving after the construction of the camp was completed after the Chinese New Year.
He originally didn't want to tell anyone, but he was a lieutenant general and he had a lot of things in his hands. If he didn't explain clearly before leaving, he would definitely bring a lot of trouble to General Ghost Face.
Now that General Ghost Face and Jun Xu are going back, he is the only one left in the camp here, so naturally he can't leave so soon, otherwise General Ghost Face and Jun Xu will leave as well, and the camp will be in chaos immediately.
Xu Jun let go of the ghost-faced general, looked at the letter in his hand again, and said excitedly: "After I go back, I must thank Lin Xu very much. Thanks to him, I can buy some more cattle and sheep to raise later, otherwise I don't know what to do. How long will it take to raise the money to buy it, but this time he helped a lot.”
The ghost-faced general, who was happy, had cold eyes, secretly jealous. He could also ask for supplies, and he could also ask for a lot.
After deciding to go back, the camp began to make preparations.
If the two of them want to leave, they still have to leave for at least one month or two months, so there is a lot of preparation to be done.
General Ghost Face didn't talk about it, just what Mr. Xu had to explain, it couldn't be finished in a day or two.
Things like weeding and fertilizing in the field, as well as the arrangement of newly delivered materials, the purchase of cattle and sheep, the harvest of seasonal vegetables, and what to plant in the field after harvesting...
Xu Jun has to explain things in advance. The things in this field are different from other things. You have to tell some things in advance. Otherwise, when Xu Jun comes back in two months, I don’t know what will happen in the field.
And it should have been spring by then, and it was the season of planting. In case he was delayed by something and couldn't come back in time, the accountant should at least know what to plant.
Xu Jun was nervously making preparations, while Ghost-Mask General fell into contemplation for a long time after a brief explanation.
He promised Xu Jun to leave with him, and he has been making preparations for this since the end of the battle, so that Xu Jun said that he could leave at any time.
However, it is easy to learn how to cook and farm, but the arrangement in the camp is a hassle.
Hundreds of thousands of troops, if he is gone, who should he hand over to?
In mid-February, Xu Jun finally explained everything that should be explained.
General Ghost Face asked Tao Chi to take care of the barracks, while Xu Jun handed everything over to Sima He for the time being.
After finishing the preparations, General Ghost Face immediately arranged for departure.
General Ghost Face was very efficient, and he was ready to set off on the second day after making arrangements on the first day.As soon as the sky was gray and bright in the morning, the team had already left the camp.
Xu Jun, who was still in a daze and didn't wake up at all, was put in the carriage behind, and fell asleep reeling in the bumpy carriage.
The carriage moved forward quickly, staggering.
Half a month later, they arrived at the city.
Today's city is different from when they left. When they left, this ancient city was somewhat dilapidated due to the constant war.
But now, this place has changed from the previous desolation, overcrowded, and prosperous.
Originally, the city of Dayu, which was the closest city to Xia Kingdom, was a very dangerous place.
But now, because the border defense line has been pushed forward, the city has instead become a prosperous city where merchants often live, and a key city that must be passed through by merchants.
It happened to be evening when they arrived in the city, so the team simply stopped to rest.
After a simple dinner, Xu Jun went out alone and went shopping in the street.
Mr. Xu is still quite emotional about this city. During the year and a half he was in the barracks, he spent almost half of the time here, so he naturally cared.
Because it wasn't long, Xu Jun didn't go looking for those bandits, and after simply strolling around the street, he was going back to rest.
When approaching the inn, Xu Jun saw a very familiar figure among the crowd, that person rushed towards him, looking back in horror while running.
Seeing that person, Xu Jun hurriedly squeezed away the people around him and got in front of him.
There are many people in the night market, and tourists and businessmen from all directions make the street crowded and noisy.
When Xu Jun pushed aside others and stood in front of the fleeing man, the fleeing man bumped into him without seeing him.
"Ouch!"
Xu Jun, who was hit, took two steps back in embarrassment, and almost fell down. Fortunately, Zhuge Jin who bumped into him quickly grabbed him.
"Are you okay?" Zhuge Jin looked back warily while pulling Xu Jun to the corner.
"What are you doing?" Xu Jun rubbed the painful place.
Since the last time they separated, he hadn't had the chance to see Zhuge Jin. He didn't expect Zhuge Jin to be here in the city.
Zhuge Jin kept looking nervously on the way he came, but Xu Jun followed his line of sight but didn't see the officers and soldiers.
"Are you stealing again?"
"What? No." Zhuge Jin was restless.
"Then what are you doing?" As soon as Xu Jun finished speaking, Zhuge Jin suddenly shrank his head, and the next moment, he suddenly turned around and ran away.
"Zhu Xiaojin?" Xu Jun yelled, but Zhuge Jin ran faster as if the soles of his feet were oiled.
Xu Jun looked at the back of him running away, wondering, when he turned around, he was greeted with a big hug, "Brother!"
Xu Ming, who was somewhat similar to Xu Jun, looked at his younger brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, his eyes were red.He hugged Xu Jun tightly in his arms, his voice was a little choked up.
He was terrified when he heard that Xu Jun had been staying at the front line of the border.
During that time, he wrote home many times, trying to bring Xu Jun home, or take him to the place where he was stationed in the army, but it never succeeded.
"Why are you here?" Xu Jun was surprised.
Xu Ming in front of him was not wearing armor, but in casual clothes.
The off-white dress made him look fairer and more cute, which also made the two of them more similar.
"I came here on purpose to find you. I heard that you were going back to Beijing, so I came here specially to wait for you to go together." Xu Ming held onto Xu Jun's hand and did not let go.
"Are you going back together too?"
"Don't you know yet? The emperor appointed a prince, so this time the whole world celebrates, and the generals stationed in several places were also called back."
"Prince?" Xu Jun was surprised, Jin Qi already has a child?Didn't you say that the draft was just a while ago?
"It's not Jin Qi's child, it's Jin Yi's..." Xu Ming was a little confused, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."
This matter has already been spread in Dayu and caused a sensation, but it is no longer news.
Many people disagree with Jin Qi's approach.
Not to mention the previous rumors that Jin Qi was not of the blood of the Jin family, even if the rumors were false, Jin Qi's practice of appointing someone else's child as the prince really made people somewhat puzzled by his views.
But in this way, no one mentioned the previous rumor.
After receiving the imperial decree, Xu Ming did not go back to the capital directly, but immediately came here to wait for Xu Jun after getting the news. He hadn't seen Xu Jun for a long time, but he missed Xu Jun.
"Zhu Xiaojin, why is he running?" Xu Jun was puzzled.
"Zhuge Jin? Speaking of which, I seem to have seen him here before." Xu Ming looked bewildered.
Both of them looked puzzled. After thinking for a while, they both ignored it and walked to the inn together.
Xu Ming came here first, and found a place in a nearby inn. After knowing that Xu Jun lived nearby, he immediately checked out there and came here to live with Xu Jun.
Xu Jun didn't want to sleep together at first, but he and Xu Ming hadn't seen each other for a long time, and couldn't bear Xu Ming's soft and sweet words, so he quickly agreed.
Xu Jun and Xu Ming have been talking non-stop since Xu Ming came.
The two of them not only talked at dinner, but also slept together at night, and even when they were on the road together the next day, the two of them talked and laughed all the time in the carriage.
Ever since Xu Ming arrived, the ghost-faced general who had been left aside gave a pitiful look at Xu Jun, and then at Xu Ming who was next to him who was in high spirits.
When he went back this time, he brought a lot of things with him.
In addition to Mr. Xu and the guards, he also brought the soldier talisman he had been in charge of, as well as some documents and confidential information.
These are all sorted out by him in more than a month after the Chinese New Year. He knows that he will leave, so he is preparing early.
When he went back this time, he happened to talk to Jin Qi about it, and then gave him all the things to prepare for taking over, so that he could leave immediately when he wanted to leave.
Apart from these things that must be fought, he has been thinking about how to tell Jin Qi about this matter.
More than ten years ago, he entered the military camp alone in order to help Jin Qi stabilize his position, and then stationed at the border for more than ten years.
Before meeting Xu Jun, he always thought that he would continue like this until he was old, until he could no longer lead troops to fight.
But it's different now, now he has the life he wants to live and the things he wants to do, so he can no longer stay there.
It's just that if he wants to leave, there will be no one guarding the gate here, and Jin Qi will definitely be in trouble.
In fact, he didn't quite understand what was going on with his brother, just like the woman who was his mother. Although he knew that Jin Qi treated him well, he always had an unreal feeling that he couldn't do what Xu Jun did to Xu Ming. close.
Blood relationship is more like a noun to him, and he will never experience that feeling.
Now that he has to leave, he can no longer help Jin Qi guard the border. He thinks more about how to leave as soon as possible and how not to cause trouble for Jin Qi, but he can't be like Xu Jun...
The ghost-faced general was in a daze, and Xu Ming, who was also sitting in the carriage, was already pulling Xu Jun to ask Xu Jun, asking if there was any place he wanted to go back this time.
Both of them grew up in the capital, and they had a lot of memories when they were young. Later, when Xu Ming grew up and Jin Qi wanted to seize the throne, Xu Ming entered the military camp early and became a general of the local army.
After that, the two of them didn't have much chance to get along with each other. Now that the opportunity is rare, Xu Ming has a lot of things to say and do with Xu Jun.
"I want to go to Bai's dim sum shop, and he's going to Li's house..." Xu Jun counted on his fingers, counting a lot of names, all of which were for food.
Counting and counting, he himself couldn't help swallowing.
"Do you know what I miss most in the military camp? What I miss the most are those delicious foods." Xu Jun swallowed, "You don't even know that there are only steamed buns in the military camp."
Xu Ming touched Xu Jun's head and smiled.
How could Xu Ming not know!He also stayed in the military camp for several years, but he still couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard Xu Jun's aggrieved voice.
"You have been staying at home since you were a child, and you haven't suffered much..." Xu Ming said in the tone of an old father.
This can't be blamed on him, Xu Jun is indeed doted on by their family.
His father and mother treated him well, Xu Ming didn't get jealous or care about that.He was fortunate that because Xu Jun still had him as an older brother, he naturally received more favors.
Xu Ming was the only one in his family when he was a child, and he was often bullied by other people's children at that time, so if Xu Jun dared to bully Xu Jun when he was a child, he would definitely beat him to the ground.
Such a person who was hurt by a group of people to the bottom of his heart, ended up going to the border to suffer, and steamed buns and kimchi every day, how can people not feel distressed?
"Why don't you go back this time? Just stay in the capital." Xu Ming has been trying to persuade Xu Jun to go home, "If you really like it, you can also do things with me."
It's always convenient to have him taking care of her.
Xu Jun hesitated for a moment, he was overwhelmed by the delicious food that kept popping up in his mind.What barracks, what soldiers, how can it compare to those delicious snacks?
"No."
Before Xu Jun could speak, the ghost-faced general beside him had already spoken.
Xu Ming looked over, and it was the first time he had looked at General Ghost-Mask for the first time since he saw General Ghost-Mask again, looking at this big villain who was trying to abduct his brother!
"I'm talking to my brother, you are not allowed to talk!" Xu Ming was extremely fierce.
He is just such a younger brother, if he is kidnapped, where will he cry?
General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun quickly, Xu Jun was going to live in seclusion with him, if he went to Xu Ming's place, what would he do?
Xu Jun didn't think that much, he hadn't recovered from those delicious things, "Let me think about it..."
Hearing Xu Jun's answer, both General Ghost Face and Xu Ming's expressions changed.
Xu Ming still wanted to persuade Xu Jun, but panic flashed across General Ghost Face's face.He was already ready, so wouldn't Xu Jun leave with him at this time?
"Let's not talk about that, I'll accompany you to eat your fill when we go back!" Xu Ming said.
"Okay!" Xu Jun was immediately bribed.
"I also—" General Ghost Face opened his mouth, but Xu Ming interrupted him.
"The general will go back this time, the emperor will definitely want to see you. The general should live in the palace, so Mr. Xu will come home with me."
Going home to live at home, Xu Jun naturally has no objection. General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun who was still wringing his fingers to find something delicious, and his heart began to become sour.
Unlike him, Xu Jun is not without family and concerns.
Perhaps the previous sentence of leaving to live in seclusion was just a casual remark to Xu Jun, and he was the only one who cared about it.
General Ghost Face didn't dare to ask, he calmed down and just listened quietly to the words of the two who had been chatting and laughing along the way.
The capital is better, better than the camp, the weather is warm, there are many people, there are many streets, and there are a lot of delicious food. In Xu Jun's heart, the capital is completely inferior to the border...
Xu Jun is very happy along the way, because he will soon return to his favorite capital city!
In addition to the delicious food, Xu Jun also has another thing in his heart, and that is about Lin Xu.
The word Lin Xu was on his lips every day, and he kept saying that he would thank Lin Xu when he went back.
Xu Ming was curious after hearing this, and agreed after asking why, and the two even thought about calling Lin Xu to eat delicious food together.
The ghost-faced general sat quietly in the corner, listening to the arrangement of the two with his ears up, but he was not included in Xu Jun's arrangement.
The carriage shook, and the rabbit squatting on the carriage floor rolled and hit General Ghost Face's feet. He bent down and picked up the rabbit, letting it squat on his lap.
He touched the little rabbit's ears, and the little rabbit obediently let him touch it, noticing that he was in a bad mood, so the little rabbit even rubbed his palm affectionately.
The ghost-faced general who couldn't find someone to confide in looked at it, and suddenly became unreasonable. Lin Xu has nothing to thank, that's his job!
He has also done so much for Xu Jun, and once brought food and grass for him. Why didn't he hear Xu Jun say that he wanted to invite him to dinner?
Thinking about this, and thinking that Xu Jun likes the capital and doesn't like the border, and has arranged a lot but without him, General Ghost Face just feels his nose is sour.
General Ghost Face touched the little rabbit's bumped head, and then glanced at the excited Xu Jun. Xu Jun didn't even notice that the little rabbit fell down.
When General Ghost Face lowered his head to look at the rabbit on his lap, he felt that he and the little rabbit were standing on the same front, the same front ignored by Jun Xu.
Poor little rabbit, your father doesn't want you anymore.
The little rabbit moved its three-petal mouth, as if silently responding to the words in his heart.
The Ghost-faced General poked the little rabbit on his lap, and poked it again.
He is so pitiful, Xu Jun doesn't want him anymore.
The little rabbit moved and became more and more clingy.
The ghost-faced general picked up the rabbit on his lap, looked at it face to face, and asked it with his eyes, if Xu Jun didn't go with him, he would snatch Xu Jun and pack it up to resist the possibility of leaving.
The little rabbit smacked his mouth, General Ghost Face felt that they had reached a consensus.
There are only a few days of excitement in the camp. Once the New Year is over, before the Spring Festival, the camp will resume the usual schedule.
But it is different in the capital city. The New Year in the capital city will still be very lively until the end of the New Year and the Lantern Festival.
Especially this year, the capital will be extra lively, not only because of the victory, but also because Xu Lan, the master of the Shangshu Mansion in the capital, is very happy this year.
New Year's Eve has passed, the first day of the first month, Xiaonian, and Lantern Festival. In less than half a month after Lantern Festival, Xu Lan has already hosted a lot of friends for gatherings. In addition, this year he walked around with other people. is also extraordinarily diligent.
There is no other reason why Xu Lan is like this, but because during the Lantern Festival, his youngest son Xu Jun, who was far away from the border, brought him a gift from the border.
It was a leather jacket made of wolf fur. The workmanship was not very fine, but that jacket was made of the fur of several wolves, and it looked extraordinarily graceful, rich and majestic.
The Minister Xu Lan had been looking forward to the gift for a year, and finally he was looking forward to the gift from his son. It was such a hard-won gift, so he wanted to let the whole capital know that his son had given him a gift. .
You must wear it when you go out, you must mention it when you meet people, and you are my son...
Throughout the first month, almost all the ministers in the court were forced to listen to Xu Lan's Kuazi Jing, so that all the civil and military officials in the court knew how filial his son was.
The first month passed, and the second month came, the weather in the capital was not so cold long ago, and gradually became warmer, but Xu Shangshu was still wearing a leather jacket.
Even when he went to court, he had to wear a jacket on his body.
It was the end of another morning, Xu Lan walked out of the palace gate, stood in front of the carriage, and nervously patted the jacket on her body again and again, for fear of getting a little dust.
The officials next to him who went down together saw Xu Lan, and hurried to detour one by one, for fear that Xu Lan would drag them for another hour if he was in a good mood.
Xu Lan put away the jacket carefully, and was about to get into the carriage to go back, when the chief eunuch turned around, "Master Shangshu, please stay still."
Xu Lan turned around, "What's the matter?"
"The emperor invites Lord Shangshu to gather in the imperial study."
Xu Lan nodded, and followed him to the imperial study, because he was really reluctant to hand over the jacket in his hand to others, so he even hugged the jacket.
At the beginning of the new year, Dayu has won a big victory, and there are also a lot of things now.
In addition to settling down the cities and people that now belong to them in Dayu, the retirement of some veterans in the camp and the recruitment of new recruits are also a major event.
In addition, some things from last year have to be taken care of this year.
Last year they signed an alliance with Daning. After a year of rest, the situation in Daning has gradually eased. So at the beginning of the year, in addition to sending them tribute, they also sent people to send Some petitions for commerce.
Naturally, the alliance between the two countries cannot be just a name. Trade is inevitable, and there will be some other exchanges besides this.
This move can benefit both countries a lot, so both countries are happy to do so, so the emperors on both sides attach great importance to it.
In addition, when Dayu was fighting, Daning sent troops to respond to their border army's request and helped them. Although they didn't really send troops to attack, in general, they sold their favor. So now they have to say something about it.
Xu Lan is in charge of these matters. He has been busy with Daning during this period of time. He is not surprised that the emperor wants to see him now.
After entering the imperial study, what Jin Qi asked was indeed about these things.
"...Then do as agreed before, and try to introduce some new agricultural varieties." After reading the scriptures in front of him, Jin Qi rubbed the bridge of his nose.
Although Dayu is rich and powerful, not everything is good.
Their big elm is a little lacking in farming, not because the people on their side are lazy, but because of the terrain, the climate here is relatively hot and cold in winter, which leads to poor harvests in these two seasons .
"Yes."
When it comes to official business, both of them are quite serious.
"Also, what do you think about Daning's application to open the canal between the two countries?" Jin Qi asked.
Between Daning and Dayu, there is a river in a part of the middle, because this river is the junction of the two countries, so no one is allowed to come and go.
"If the canal is opened, judging from the current situation, it will be more beneficial to Daning. They seem to have contacts with the other countries nearby. The canal can reduce a lot of transportation time..."
After some discussion, by the time the two finished discussing these matters, it was already noon.
Today's weather is good. At noon, the sun is already shining outside the door.
Jin Qi got up to go out, and was about to ask Xu Lan who was next to him if he would stay in the palace to eat with him, when he saw that Xu Lan was wearing his woolen jacket again.
Since the whole first month, Xu Lan has always been dressed like this, no matter what he was wearing underneath, he was wearing that woolen jacket outside, which made the corners of Jin Qi's mouth twitch a little.
"Aren't you hot?" Jin Qi looked at the bright sunshine outside the door.
February comes after the first month, and the weather is not as cold as it was during the Chinese New Year. Many people have already put on thinner coats.
Seeing Jin Qi mentioning her coat, Xu Lan walked forward excitedly, "The emperor also thinks this coat looks good? This is the best wolf fur..."
Jin Qi turned his head and looked at the sunshine outside.
He was a little puzzled, why didn't such a big sun kill this noisy person?
"Stop, stop!" Seeing that the person next to him was about to continue, Jin Qi couldn't help but interrupt.
"If the emperor likes it, why don't you ask someone to make one?" Xu Lan touched the jacket on her body lovingly.
Jin Qi looked at the person next to him who was wrapped in a fur ball, and he was determined not to wear something.
"Speaking of which, these things should be common at the general's side, otherwise the emperor will ask the general?"
Hearing this, Jin Qi's heart instantly became sour.
He knew that these things were more common in the border army, but the man had stayed in the camp for more than ten years, and he never thought of getting him a jacket...
Jin Qi looked back at Xu Lan whose hair was fluttering gently with the breeze, like a flower peacock with its tail spread, and felt even more upset.
The two were standing in the yard outside the imperial study room basking in the sun and talking, when they saw the chief eunuch standing guard coming forward, he bowed slightly in front of the two of them, and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is back."
"He?" Jin Qi was startled, and then resisted his impulse to pretend to be calm, "Call him here, I want to see him."
"Yes."
The chief eunuch went down, and after a while, he led Lin Xu, who was dressed in green, into the courtyard.
Lin Xucai came back from the outside, travel-stained, with a slight tiredness on his face.
When the two came in front of Jin Qi and the two of them, the chief eunuch next to him bent down again and retreated outside consciously, his emotions were hugging Xu Lan and Jin Qi.
"Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu."
"Heh, are you willing to come back?" Jin Qi's mouth was bitter as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Your prime minister has worked hard." Xu Lan smiled.
"It's not hard work. I heard that Lord Shang Shu has been busy with Daning's affairs recently, so it's hard work." Lin Xu replied.
Jin Qi, who was neglected, looked at the two who ignored him in an official tone, with a bit of jealousy on his bitter face, "I thought you wouldn't come back."
Lin Xu finally took a look at Jin Qi, but still didn't reply.
Seeing this, Xu Lan offered to propose: "The emperor just sent someone to prepare the meal, and the prime minister just came back. I'm afraid the family hasn't prepared it yet, why don't we stay and have dinner together?"
Before Lin Xu opened his mouth to speak, Jin Qi on the side was already in a hurry, "Who allowed him to stay? It's my stuff, and I can only eat it for whomever I say!"
Jin Qi's childish words exploded in the courtyard, Xu Lan and Lin Xu looked back at him, as if they were looking at a child having a temper tantrum.
Jin Qi became more and more annoyed by the eyes of the two of them. He turned his head to look at Lin Xu, and pointed at him, "Your Excellency is very carefree. This absence from work lasted for more than a month or two. Do you know that this is a serious crime?" ?”
"The minister is on business." Lin Xu was neither surprised nor pleased.
"What business? I think you are clearly absent from work!"
"The minister handed over the notebook, didn't the emperor see it?"
"Did I agree?" Lin Xu handed over the paperwork, but when he saw it, the person had already run away, regardless of whether he agreed or not.
"By the way, Master Shangshu, I'm afraid I'll trouble you to go with me to check the affairs of several commercial firms." Lin Xu ignored Jin Qi next to him and looked at Xu Lan.
"Is there really a problem?"
"Well, judging from the current situation, although those people's hands and feet are not very big, they do cut corners."
It's not easy for the frontier army. The conditions are not good and the environment is so harsh. These people are still here to take advantage of the loopholes to suck blood. This is not something that people like.
"I'll make time."
Lin Xu clasped his fists together.
"You two!" Jin Qi slapped the stone table next to him.
Is he the emperor or are these two emperors?They actually dare to ignore him, dare to ignore him, which emperor in the whole world deserves him to be so useless?
"Believe it or not, I will arrest you two and kill you two!"
Lin Xu and Xu Lan looked at each other, and they continued talking.
"I met the young master, he is a good accountant."
As soon as Xu Lan heard Lin Xu mentioning Xu Jun, Xu Lan immediately became excited, and quickly asked for details, and then pulled on her body. Xu Lan quickly turned around to let Lin Xu appreciate the leather jacket on him, and got Lin Xu After the praise, he hummed happily.
Jin Qi squatted in the corner by himself and drew circles. He was not remembered by the two of them until the eunuchs had prepared the dishes in the sunny courtyard.
The three sat down, Lin Xu looked at the table full of delicacies, and couldn't help but think of the steamed buns he ate in the camp.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you didn't allocate food to the border army during the Chinese New Year this year?" Lin Xu asked.
"There is some tension in the national treasury this year." Jin Qi said.
The war has lasted for a year, during which time taxes have been raised.But an army of hundreds of thousands is not so easy to raise after all, not to mention that he has to support not only border troops, but also local garrisons.
"It's not easy for the frontier army to garrison troops. It's better for the emperor to show something. After all, we only won the battle last year."
Jin Qi nodded, he also had the same idea.
In any case, after winning a battle, being an emperor must show something.
"Since the emperor agrees, I'll ask the people from the treasury to send some things over there." Lin Xu immediately pulled out his little abacus from his sleeve, and began to fight.
"What are you doing?" The corner of Jin Qi's mouth twitched fiercely, a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
"Didn't the emperor say that he wanted to show something?"
"What I said was to make up for it when the situation gets better! I didn't ask you to plot against me..."
Xu Lan drank some wine, smiled and watched Lin Xu deduct Jin Qi's money to raise soldiers.
002.
After arguing to no avail, Jin Qi became even more ugly when he learned that he would only be able to eat kimchi for the next two months.
"He's fine, he's not injured." Lin Xu, who was the big winner, said suddenly after putting away his calculations.
Jin Qi was slightly stunned, took a sip of wine from the glass on the table, and smiled.
"And, the relationship between the two of them is also very good."
At that moment, Jin Qi just wanted to stuff his cup into Lin Xu's mouth!
Jin Qi, who was quite annoyed, glanced at Lin Xu, who seemed to be particularly sharp after coming back, moved his body a little uncomfortably, and buried his head in eating.
He is clearly the emperor, why is he so useless?
In the first month of the lunar year, the warm sun in spring makes people warm and makes people extra sleepy.
In the mountains where the frontier garrison was located, after the warm winter sun melted all the snow in the mountains, Xu Jun fell into the atmosphere of winter sleepiness.
Walking on the road, he would yawn from time to time, being warmed by the warm sun.
After the winter snow melted, the field became busy. After the heavy snow, the field had already sprouted buds, which looked extraordinarily vibrant.
However, besides wheat and some seasonal vegetables, there are many weeds that grow together.
This is the bad thing about the newly reclaimed land. There are many grass roots and seeds that they can't distinguish at all buried in the ground, and when the snow melts, they come out in pinches.
When it was almost February, Xu Jun, who was busy pulling weeds in the field, got the news that the court had sent him a batch of supplies.
Hearing this news, Xu Jun immediately became excited, threw away the things in his hand, turned around and ran towards the camp.
After returning to the camp, he met those who came to deliver the supplies. After Xu Jun learned the source and quantity of these supplies from them, his face burst into a smile.
Xu Jun received the supplies and arranged for other people to live there, and then excitedly ran to the group of soldiers who were unloading supplies.
While responding to the greetings from the people around him, while looking at those things, Tao Chi, who was excited, grabbed his collar and led him to the side.
"Taozi, what are you doing?" Xu Jun wanted to struggle, but Tao Chi immediately let go.
"The general asked me to come over and call you over."
"Huh?" Xu Jun was puzzled.
He often met with General Ghost Face, so it must not be a private matter for General Ghost Face to ask Tao Chi to come to him, but he couldn't think of anything recently if it was a business matter.
The camp has been rebuilding recently, and now many things have just been finished, and there is nothing special to pay attention to except for acceptance.
"A letter came from inside." Tao Chi said.
As soon as Tao Chi finished speaking, Xu Jun quickly ran towards where the ghost-faced general was.
"This guy!" Tao Chi also hurriedly followed.
When Tao Chi followed to the chamber, Xu Jun had already read all the letters in his hand.
The letter from the court was written by Lin Xu, and the part related to Mr. Xu was related to the materials. It said that the materials were gifts from Lin Xu.
Although I don't know where Lin Xu got so many things, Xu Jun immediately became happy when he saw the word "gift".
In addition to this incident, another incident was written on the letter, which was about the celebration banquet.
When the border army won the battle, the DPRK and China would naturally have to show something, and the army had to show something, and the same was true for General Ghost Face.
So this time Jin Qi passed the imperial decree as before to let the ghost-faced general return to Beijing, and he hosted a banquet in the palace to celebrate the ghost-faced general.
"General, do you want to go back?" Xu Jun asked.
General Ghost Face thought for a while, then nodded, he didn't want to leave Xu Jun here, but Xu Jun should be homesick.
"Are you going back with me?"
"Yes!" Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Xu Jun immediately became excited.
During the Chinese New Year, Xu Jun has been homesick all the time, but as the general accountant of the border army, he is not allowed to leave here without a good reason, and he can only think about it when he goes back to see something.
"Make preparations as soon as possible, and we will set off in a few days." General Ghost Face said, and he just happened to have something to say to Jin Qi when he returned.
Although it is okay to exchange letters for those things, but since Xu Jun is homesick, he will go back with him to have a look.
"Thank you, General." Xu Jun said softly.After finishing speaking, he stood up and threw himself on General Ghost Face, hugging his neck and rubbing against his neck.
After spending so much time with General Ghost Face, Xu Jun can be considered to know this person well.
Given the relationship between General Ghost Face and Jin Qi, Jin Qi's celebration banquet was probably just an excuse to let him go back and meet.
According to the past, the ghost-faced general might not go back, but now he agreed to go back so readily, probably because of him.
The ghost-faced general was silent, he pursed his thin lips lightly.
Seeing the two hugged together, Tao Chi silently looked away, he couldn't stand the two of them anymore.
Hearing that the two said they were going to leave, Tao Chi's eyes were slightly bitter. He originally planned to explain to General Ghost Face about leaving after the construction of the camp was completed after the Chinese New Year.
He originally didn't want to tell anyone, but he was a lieutenant general and he had a lot of things in his hands. If he didn't explain clearly before leaving, he would definitely bring a lot of trouble to General Ghost Face.
Now that General Ghost Face and Jun Xu are going back, he is the only one left in the camp here, so naturally he can't leave so soon, otherwise General Ghost Face and Jun Xu will leave as well, and the camp will be in chaos immediately.
Xu Jun let go of the ghost-faced general, looked at the letter in his hand again, and said excitedly: "After I go back, I must thank Lin Xu very much. Thanks to him, I can buy some more cattle and sheep to raise later, otherwise I don't know what to do. How long will it take to raise the money to buy it, but this time he helped a lot.”
The ghost-faced general, who was happy, had cold eyes, secretly jealous. He could also ask for supplies, and he could also ask for a lot.
After deciding to go back, the camp began to make preparations.
If the two of them want to leave, they still have to leave for at least one month or two months, so there is a lot of preparation to be done.
General Ghost Face didn't talk about it, just what Mr. Xu had to explain, it couldn't be finished in a day or two.
Things like weeding and fertilizing in the field, as well as the arrangement of newly delivered materials, the purchase of cattle and sheep, the harvest of seasonal vegetables, and what to plant in the field after harvesting...
Xu Jun has to explain things in advance. The things in this field are different from other things. You have to tell some things in advance. Otherwise, when Xu Jun comes back in two months, I don’t know what will happen in the field.
And it should have been spring by then, and it was the season of planting. In case he was delayed by something and couldn't come back in time, the accountant should at least know what to plant.
Xu Jun was nervously making preparations, while Ghost-Mask General fell into contemplation for a long time after a brief explanation.
He promised Xu Jun to leave with him, and he has been making preparations for this since the end of the battle, so that Xu Jun said that he could leave at any time.
However, it is easy to learn how to cook and farm, but the arrangement in the camp is a hassle.
Hundreds of thousands of troops, if he is gone, who should he hand over to?
In mid-February, Xu Jun finally explained everything that should be explained.
General Ghost Face asked Tao Chi to take care of the barracks, while Xu Jun handed everything over to Sima He for the time being.
After finishing the preparations, General Ghost Face immediately arranged for departure.
General Ghost Face was very efficient, and he was ready to set off on the second day after making arrangements on the first day.As soon as the sky was gray and bright in the morning, the team had already left the camp.
Xu Jun, who was still in a daze and didn't wake up at all, was put in the carriage behind, and fell asleep reeling in the bumpy carriage.
The carriage moved forward quickly, staggering.
Half a month later, they arrived at the city.
Today's city is different from when they left. When they left, this ancient city was somewhat dilapidated due to the constant war.
But now, this place has changed from the previous desolation, overcrowded, and prosperous.
Originally, the city of Dayu, which was the closest city to Xia Kingdom, was a very dangerous place.
But now, because the border defense line has been pushed forward, the city has instead become a prosperous city where merchants often live, and a key city that must be passed through by merchants.
It happened to be evening when they arrived in the city, so the team simply stopped to rest.
After a simple dinner, Xu Jun went out alone and went shopping in the street.
Mr. Xu is still quite emotional about this city. During the year and a half he was in the barracks, he spent almost half of the time here, so he naturally cared.
Because it wasn't long, Xu Jun didn't go looking for those bandits, and after simply strolling around the street, he was going back to rest.
When approaching the inn, Xu Jun saw a very familiar figure among the crowd, that person rushed towards him, looking back in horror while running.
Seeing that person, Xu Jun hurriedly squeezed away the people around him and got in front of him.
There are many people in the night market, and tourists and businessmen from all directions make the street crowded and noisy.
When Xu Jun pushed aside others and stood in front of the fleeing man, the fleeing man bumped into him without seeing him.
"Ouch!"
Xu Jun, who was hit, took two steps back in embarrassment, and almost fell down. Fortunately, Zhuge Jin who bumped into him quickly grabbed him.
"Are you okay?" Zhuge Jin looked back warily while pulling Xu Jun to the corner.
"What are you doing?" Xu Jun rubbed the painful place.
Since the last time they separated, he hadn't had the chance to see Zhuge Jin. He didn't expect Zhuge Jin to be here in the city.
Zhuge Jin kept looking nervously on the way he came, but Xu Jun followed his line of sight but didn't see the officers and soldiers.
"Are you stealing again?"
"What? No." Zhuge Jin was restless.
"Then what are you doing?" As soon as Xu Jun finished speaking, Zhuge Jin suddenly shrank his head, and the next moment, he suddenly turned around and ran away.
"Zhu Xiaojin?" Xu Jun yelled, but Zhuge Jin ran faster as if the soles of his feet were oiled.
Xu Jun looked at the back of him running away, wondering, when he turned around, he was greeted with a big hug, "Brother!"
Xu Ming, who was somewhat similar to Xu Jun, looked at his younger brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, his eyes were red.He hugged Xu Jun tightly in his arms, his voice was a little choked up.
He was terrified when he heard that Xu Jun had been staying at the front line of the border.
During that time, he wrote home many times, trying to bring Xu Jun home, or take him to the place where he was stationed in the army, but it never succeeded.
"Why are you here?" Xu Jun was surprised.
Xu Ming in front of him was not wearing armor, but in casual clothes.
The off-white dress made him look fairer and more cute, which also made the two of them more similar.
"I came here on purpose to find you. I heard that you were going back to Beijing, so I came here specially to wait for you to go together." Xu Ming held onto Xu Jun's hand and did not let go.
"Are you going back together too?"
"Don't you know yet? The emperor appointed a prince, so this time the whole world celebrates, and the generals stationed in several places were also called back."
"Prince?" Xu Jun was surprised, Jin Qi already has a child?Didn't you say that the draft was just a while ago?
"It's not Jin Qi's child, it's Jin Yi's..." Xu Ming was a little confused, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."
This matter has already been spread in Dayu and caused a sensation, but it is no longer news.
Many people disagree with Jin Qi's approach.
Not to mention the previous rumors that Jin Qi was not of the blood of the Jin family, even if the rumors were false, Jin Qi's practice of appointing someone else's child as the prince really made people somewhat puzzled by his views.
But in this way, no one mentioned the previous rumor.
After receiving the imperial decree, Xu Ming did not go back to the capital directly, but immediately came here to wait for Xu Jun after getting the news. He hadn't seen Xu Jun for a long time, but he missed Xu Jun.
"Zhu Xiaojin, why is he running?" Xu Jun was puzzled.
"Zhuge Jin? Speaking of which, I seem to have seen him here before." Xu Ming looked bewildered.
Both of them looked puzzled. After thinking for a while, they both ignored it and walked to the inn together.
Xu Ming came here first, and found a place in a nearby inn. After knowing that Xu Jun lived nearby, he immediately checked out there and came here to live with Xu Jun.
Xu Jun didn't want to sleep together at first, but he and Xu Ming hadn't seen each other for a long time, and couldn't bear Xu Ming's soft and sweet words, so he quickly agreed.
Xu Jun and Xu Ming have been talking non-stop since Xu Ming came.
The two of them not only talked at dinner, but also slept together at night, and even when they were on the road together the next day, the two of them talked and laughed all the time in the carriage.
Ever since Xu Ming arrived, the ghost-faced general who had been left aside gave a pitiful look at Xu Jun, and then at Xu Ming who was next to him who was in high spirits.
When he went back this time, he brought a lot of things with him.
In addition to Mr. Xu and the guards, he also brought the soldier talisman he had been in charge of, as well as some documents and confidential information.
These are all sorted out by him in more than a month after the Chinese New Year. He knows that he will leave, so he is preparing early.
When he went back this time, he happened to talk to Jin Qi about it, and then gave him all the things to prepare for taking over, so that he could leave immediately when he wanted to leave.
Apart from these things that must be fought, he has been thinking about how to tell Jin Qi about this matter.
More than ten years ago, he entered the military camp alone in order to help Jin Qi stabilize his position, and then stationed at the border for more than ten years.
Before meeting Xu Jun, he always thought that he would continue like this until he was old, until he could no longer lead troops to fight.
But it's different now, now he has the life he wants to live and the things he wants to do, so he can no longer stay there.
It's just that if he wants to leave, there will be no one guarding the gate here, and Jin Qi will definitely be in trouble.
In fact, he didn't quite understand what was going on with his brother, just like the woman who was his mother. Although he knew that Jin Qi treated him well, he always had an unreal feeling that he couldn't do what Xu Jun did to Xu Ming. close.
Blood relationship is more like a noun to him, and he will never experience that feeling.
Now that he has to leave, he can no longer help Jin Qi guard the border. He thinks more about how to leave as soon as possible and how not to cause trouble for Jin Qi, but he can't be like Xu Jun...
The ghost-faced general was in a daze, and Xu Ming, who was also sitting in the carriage, was already pulling Xu Jun to ask Xu Jun, asking if there was any place he wanted to go back this time.
Both of them grew up in the capital, and they had a lot of memories when they were young. Later, when Xu Ming grew up and Jin Qi wanted to seize the throne, Xu Ming entered the military camp early and became a general of the local army.
After that, the two of them didn't have much chance to get along with each other. Now that the opportunity is rare, Xu Ming has a lot of things to say and do with Xu Jun.
"I want to go to Bai's dim sum shop, and he's going to Li's house..." Xu Jun counted on his fingers, counting a lot of names, all of which were for food.
Counting and counting, he himself couldn't help swallowing.
"Do you know what I miss most in the military camp? What I miss the most are those delicious foods." Xu Jun swallowed, "You don't even know that there are only steamed buns in the military camp."
Xu Ming touched Xu Jun's head and smiled.
How could Xu Ming not know!He also stayed in the military camp for several years, but he still couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard Xu Jun's aggrieved voice.
"You have been staying at home since you were a child, and you haven't suffered much..." Xu Ming said in the tone of an old father.
This can't be blamed on him, Xu Jun is indeed doted on by their family.
His father and mother treated him well, Xu Ming didn't get jealous or care about that.He was fortunate that because Xu Jun still had him as an older brother, he naturally received more favors.
Xu Ming was the only one in his family when he was a child, and he was often bullied by other people's children at that time, so if Xu Jun dared to bully Xu Jun when he was a child, he would definitely beat him to the ground.
Such a person who was hurt by a group of people to the bottom of his heart, ended up going to the border to suffer, and steamed buns and kimchi every day, how can people not feel distressed?
"Why don't you go back this time? Just stay in the capital." Xu Ming has been trying to persuade Xu Jun to go home, "If you really like it, you can also do things with me."
It's always convenient to have him taking care of her.
Xu Jun hesitated for a moment, he was overwhelmed by the delicious food that kept popping up in his mind.What barracks, what soldiers, how can it compare to those delicious snacks?
"No."
Before Xu Jun could speak, the ghost-faced general beside him had already spoken.
Xu Ming looked over, and it was the first time he had looked at General Ghost-Mask for the first time since he saw General Ghost-Mask again, looking at this big villain who was trying to abduct his brother!
"I'm talking to my brother, you are not allowed to talk!" Xu Ming was extremely fierce.
He is just such a younger brother, if he is kidnapped, where will he cry?
General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun quickly, Xu Jun was going to live in seclusion with him, if he went to Xu Ming's place, what would he do?
Xu Jun didn't think that much, he hadn't recovered from those delicious things, "Let me think about it..."
Hearing Xu Jun's answer, both General Ghost Face and Xu Ming's expressions changed.
Xu Ming still wanted to persuade Xu Jun, but panic flashed across General Ghost Face's face.He was already ready, so wouldn't Xu Jun leave with him at this time?
"Let's not talk about that, I'll accompany you to eat your fill when we go back!" Xu Ming said.
"Okay!" Xu Jun was immediately bribed.
"I also—" General Ghost Face opened his mouth, but Xu Ming interrupted him.
"The general will go back this time, the emperor will definitely want to see you. The general should live in the palace, so Mr. Xu will come home with me."
Going home to live at home, Xu Jun naturally has no objection. General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun who was still wringing his fingers to find something delicious, and his heart began to become sour.
Unlike him, Xu Jun is not without family and concerns.
Perhaps the previous sentence of leaving to live in seclusion was just a casual remark to Xu Jun, and he was the only one who cared about it.
General Ghost Face didn't dare to ask, he calmed down and just listened quietly to the words of the two who had been chatting and laughing along the way.
The capital is better, better than the camp, the weather is warm, there are many people, there are many streets, and there are a lot of delicious food. In Xu Jun's heart, the capital is completely inferior to the border...
Xu Jun is very happy along the way, because he will soon return to his favorite capital city!
In addition to the delicious food, Xu Jun also has another thing in his heart, and that is about Lin Xu.
The word Lin Xu was on his lips every day, and he kept saying that he would thank Lin Xu when he went back.
Xu Ming was curious after hearing this, and agreed after asking why, and the two even thought about calling Lin Xu to eat delicious food together.
The ghost-faced general sat quietly in the corner, listening to the arrangement of the two with his ears up, but he was not included in Xu Jun's arrangement.
The carriage shook, and the rabbit squatting on the carriage floor rolled and hit General Ghost Face's feet. He bent down and picked up the rabbit, letting it squat on his lap.
He touched the little rabbit's ears, and the little rabbit obediently let him touch it, noticing that he was in a bad mood, so the little rabbit even rubbed his palm affectionately.
The ghost-faced general who couldn't find someone to confide in looked at it, and suddenly became unreasonable. Lin Xu has nothing to thank, that's his job!
He has also done so much for Xu Jun, and once brought food and grass for him. Why didn't he hear Xu Jun say that he wanted to invite him to dinner?
Thinking about this, and thinking that Xu Jun likes the capital and doesn't like the border, and has arranged a lot but without him, General Ghost Face just feels his nose is sour.
General Ghost Face touched the little rabbit's bumped head, and then glanced at the excited Xu Jun. Xu Jun didn't even notice that the little rabbit fell down.
When General Ghost Face lowered his head to look at the rabbit on his lap, he felt that he and the little rabbit were standing on the same front, the same front ignored by Jun Xu.
Poor little rabbit, your father doesn't want you anymore.
The little rabbit moved its three-petal mouth, as if silently responding to the words in his heart.
The Ghost-faced General poked the little rabbit on his lap, and poked it again.
He is so pitiful, Xu Jun doesn't want him anymore.
The little rabbit moved and became more and more clingy.
The ghost-faced general picked up the rabbit on his lap, looked at it face to face, and asked it with his eyes, if Xu Jun didn't go with him, he would snatch Xu Jun and pack it up to resist the possibility of leaving.
The little rabbit smacked his mouth, General Ghost Face felt that they had reached a consensus.
