"How would I know, did you? Mr. An, paper can't cover fire." Even now, Ji Huaimo still subconsciously protects An Qinyang, and only calls him Mr. An.

"Huai Mo, I didn't expect to hide it from you, it's just the original intention of this matter..."

"The original intention is that you treat me as a fool from the beginning to the end." Ji Huaimo also calmed down at this time, and his tone was no longer so aggressive.

"Master An, rest, you have to hurry up tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at him and walked out.

After closing the door, he leaned his back on the pillar and looked up at the sky. However, before he had time to be sentimental, he heard someone report that the Haixing County Prime Minister was waiting to be summoned by him in the front hall.

Ji Huaimo thought about it, he had occupied someone else's land and hadn't seen this "landlord" before, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he answered and followed them to the front hall.While walking through the corridor, I met a hurried man with his head bowed.

"Deng Ping, what are you doing here?"

"..." The man stopped, raised his head slightly, showing a delicate and immature face, "General Qin asked me to come to you, he said...you will arrange work for me."

It was the boy Ji Huaimo rescued in the village that day.

His name is Deng Ping.

Deng Ping's eyes wandered slightly at this moment, he didn't dare to look directly at Ji Huaimo, so he could only stare at his toes uneasily, waiting for him to say something.

Seeing his shy look, Ji Huaimo couldn't help laughing, "Okay, you don't have to be cautious, Qin Chao and the others are playing tricks on you again, right?"

"..."

"Forget it, you come with me first."

"Yes."

When Ji Huaimo brought Deng Ping to the front hall, the county magistrate Song Lan had already been waiting there for a while.It was a short and fat man with a kind smile on his face and a shrewd light in his small eyes.

At this time, he was lowering his head to taste the fragrant tea in the tea bowl. When he heard the movement, he raised his head. Seeing that it was Ji Huaimo, he quickly put down the tea bowl and stood up. Greetings, it's really... the impoliteness, I hope the handsome man can't blame it." But the expression was neither humble nor overbearing, and there was no trace of panic, which surprised Ji Huaimo a little.

"The county magistrate doesn't have to be like this. It's my commander's fault this time. It's an emergency and there's no time to send someone to notify him. The magistrate is too tired to rush back from such a far place. He must be exhausted from the exhaustion of the boat and the car?"

"Not tired, not tired." The fat county magistrate hurriedly waved his hand, "It's really hard for the handsome man to travel long distances with the generals. If the handsome man doesn't dislike it, I will host a banquet at the official office tonight with the subordinate officials, Even if it is, it will cleanse the dust for everyone."

Ji Huaimo quickly refused, "Don't bother. The powerful enemy is still alive, and I really don't want to sing and dance."

"No, no, no, no singing and dancing today, just a simple meal. As the saying goes, if you are full, you are ready to fight. Even if you don't want to be an official, handsome, you can't starve the generals, right?"

"..." Ji Huaimo finally understood that this old fox was just playing tricks for himself.If he agrees, there will be rumors that the commander of the reinforcements does not think about defeating the enemy but only wants to enjoy himself tomorrow.If he refuses, he becomes a model for treating his subordinates harshly.

What a good calculation.But he underestimated him after all.

"When the county magistrate talks about the generals, I think of the [-] soldiers who followed me here. That's what I should consider the most. Why don't I ask the county magistrates to do me a favor and send each of them a message for dinner?" A bowl of white porridge, a piece of steamed bun, a piece of pork, feed them enough to serve the country, what do you think?"

"This... this..." The county magistrate really didn't expect that Ji Huaimo would have the nerve to say such a thing.You know, in Haixing County, which is close to the war zone, there is not so much money and supplies to squander.It's nothing to worry about a soldier's food, but it's terrible for a hundred thousand soldiers.Ji Huaimo is planning to blackmail them completely.

I really underestimated this yellow-mouthed kid, and now it seems that he is also arrogant.

It’s just that Fat Xiancheng’s face is still pale, and his face is still a good old man with a smile on his face. He just lost his composure for a while, and now he has already figured out a countermeasure, "Look at what you said, how can this be called helping? Da'an is trying his best, and naturally he can't ask for it, but...you know, Haixing is only a small county, and it has been suffering from wars all year round. Even if its people can't eat, how can they still have spare food? ...Ah, I'm not saying that the status of the soldiers is inferior to that of the common people, the low officials are just...just..."

"..." Well, you Haixing county magistrate, what an old fox, your words are full of traps, but I, Ji Huaimo, am not a vegetarian either.

He just said coolly, "I heard that there is a granary near here. I wonder if Mr. Deng...has the authority to open the granary?"

"What kind of granary?! There is nothing! The marshal listened to the nonsense of some villain? I have been an official here for 20 years, and I have never heard of any granary, let alone the authority to open a granary!"

"Oh, I just asked casually, what is the county magistrate so excited about?"

"Official...official..."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Ji Huaimo picked up a chair and sat down as if nothing had happened, looking at the short and fat man leisurely.

"My lord marshal, why are you suspicious of being an official?" The man didn't care about pretending at this time, anyway, he had something to rely on, and if he really broke his face, he really couldn't tell who would win.

Although Ji Huaimo brought a lot of people, it's hard to say if they really listened to him.

Thinking of this, he immediately straightened his back.

At this time, Ji Huaimo also felt that the beating was almost done, so he grinned, "Okay, okay, just kidding, it seems to scare Mrs. Deng. Well, this commander suddenly remembered that there is something else to do. Let's take a step ahead, the county magistrate can take care of himself."

After finishing speaking, he took Deng Ping and walked in through the front door, leaving only Fat Xiancheng standing in the hall alone, showing a pair of faces that did not match his kind face at all.

After coming out of the front hall, Ji Huaimo tilted his head and asked Deng Ping, "How do you feel?"

"..."

"Ah?" The young boy opened his mouth slightly, he didn't understand what Ji Huaimo meant by asking this question suddenly, so he didn't answer for a while, he just stared at Ji Huaimo with a pair of deer-like eyes, looking at Ji Huaimo with a certain degree cute.

"What do you think of the conversation just now? Can you handle it?" Ji Huaimo asked patiently again.

"..." The boy shook his head honestly.The conversation just now was too tiring and too profound, I couldn't handle it myself, and I couldn't bear to deal with it impatiently.

"Then what do you think you can do?"

"Go to battle and kill the enemy."

"You are young, but you have ambitions." The words were a little casual.

The boy said rather unconvinced, "I heard that the marshal also went to the battlefield at the age of eight. I am already 12 years old. I want to grow up faster, so that I can..."
