miscalculation

The next day, Ji Lan waited at home all the time, looking restless, which surprised Ji Ze beside him.It was not until after lunch that the decree was sent to Ji's residence. Apart from ordering Ji Lan to enlist in the army and go north with He's army, there was another arrangement, which was to promote Ji Ze as Xiao Liang's personal bodyguard.

The two brothers looked at each other, not knowing what Xiao Yi meant, they sent the eunuch who announced the decree away, and began to discuss.

Ji Ze said: "Jing Bo, it is a good thing for you to go to the battlefield, but if you start as a soldier, it is inevitable that there will be times when you charge into the battle, so you must be more careful."

He joined the army at the age of 15, and he was a pawn when he joined the army, but he made his way to the top with his record.The general at that time had received Ji Langfeng's kindness, and he had a protective heart, and never let him fall into danger, for fear that he would be ashamed of his teacher's kindness.

Ji Lan said: "Brother, you also started as a pawn back then, so that you can serve the people when you become a general. You don't have to worry, let alone this trip to the border between our dynasty and the Northern Territory is under the command of Uncle He, and you are still afraid that he will treat me badly." No?"

He Tingyu is the marshal of Dongling soldiers and horses. He has dealt with people from the Northern Territory for many years. He wants to have strict military discipline and fair rewards and punishments.Like Ji Lan's father, he became famous at a young age, and the two had a very good relationship. Every time he returned to the court, he would go to Ji Shaokang's tomb to worship.

In the middle of Ji Lan's words, he hesitated, not knowing where to start. He wanted his elder brother to take care of Xiao Liang more, but he felt that with Ji Ze's temperament, he would definitely do his duty.

Seeing him like this, Ji Ze asked, "What? You have something to say, is it related to King Qin?"

Ji Lan's mind was revealed, so he stopped coddling now, knelt down in front of him, and said, "Brother, I know you don't agree with the matter between me and King Qin, but Jing Bo can't turn back, I hope you make it happen!"

Ji Ze sighed: "There are so many things like this in the army, but when it happened to you, I really don't know what to do. At first I thought King Qin was just playing tricks, but unexpectedly he really let King Qi go. Infatuated, during the month when King Qin was injured, there was hardly a moment of peace. You are too old, and even if the elder brother wants to control you, he can't control you much. The Sixth Courtyard of the Palace, do you want to be a widower for him for the rest of his life? Or do you want to compete with that Sixth Palace Fendai? Why can’t you marry a wife and have children and live a good life, but you are obsessed with such absurd things?"

Ji Lan wanted to retort, but she also knew that what he said was true and irrefutable, so she just shook her head and said, "Brother, if you meet him in this life, it's a disaster. It's my life."

Ji Ze thumped the table and said, "What are you talking about! If he becomes the king of a country, do you think he will be willing to be subdued by his wife all the time? If he becomes murderous, don't you care about your future and ambitions? Waiting for things to die in his hands won’t work? What about your ambition! What about your blood! Jingbo, how can you be so confused!”

Ji Lan sighed: "Brother, I don't care so much. If he becomes king, I will fight on the battlefield and win the world peace for him. If one day, he wants to kill me, let him. Or , don't be so pessimistic, before he changes his mind, I won't know if I will be bloodied on the battlefield."

Ji Ze suddenly stood up and shouted: "This is unknown, how can you say such frustrating words before you go to war. Well, you go down and pack your bags. I should report to the Prince of Qin's mansion in a few days, the personal guard It’s never been done.”

Ji Lan persuaded: "Brother, don't worry, the King of Qin promised me that you will return to the battlefield if you have a chance, and you will not be buried here forever."

Seeing his attitude towards Xiao Liang, Ji Ze knew that he would not be persuaded, so he simply didn't say much.The two talked for a while, but when they saw someone knocking on the door, they asked the butler to invite them in.

Yin Yuguang looked at the brothers of the Ji family, saluted Ji Ze, and said, "Hi, General Ji! I have heard that you use soldiers like a god. When I grow up, I wonder if I will be honored to join your command?"

Ji Ze smiled and said, "Young Master Yin, you are being polite. I don't know why you came here today?"

Yin Yu just looked at Ji Lan next to him, and hesitated a little, but the matter was urgent, so he boldly asked, "Excuse me, Second Master Ji, is Big Brother Zhao at the house?"

Ji Lan was taken aback, and said: "He got off the carriage at the entrance of the alley yesterday and said he went back to the post house. Why does Mr. Yin think he will be in Ji's mansion?"

Yin Yuguang seemed to let go of his restless heart, and said, "I wanted to send him some food and clothing this morning, but the postman said he didn't come back yesterday, so I thought he was with you."

Looking at his expression, Ji Lan knew that he thought Xiao Jie was staying at his house overnight, and he was probably thinking about some unspeakable things.But Xiao Jie didn't go back to the post house, maybe something was wrong.He said to Ji Ze: "Brother, I'll go out first and talk about it later."

Seeing that he suddenly became anxious, Yin Yu also bid farewell to Ji Ze and followed Ji Lan out together.

Ji Lan asked, "Young Master Yin, why are you still following me?"

Yin Yuguang said: "You two have such a good relationship, you must know where he is?"

Ji Lan knew that Xiao Jie only wanted to get rid of him, so he said: "I didn't go looking for him, but because I just received the order to go north with the army, and then we will be comrades-in-arms with him. He presumably went to look for the brothel Chuguan , Drinking flower wine is also unknown. You also know that brother Zhao's appearance is unsightly, and only by spending some money can he be amiable."

Yin Yuguang's face turned pale with shock, knowing that he was both happy and worried. The happy thing was that Ji Lan and Zhao Xinquan didn't have a good relationship, but the worried thing was that he was actually a guy who paid for laughing.He said "impossible" several times, and ran out.

Ji Lan was afraid that Xiao Jie might make a mistake, knowing that Xiao Liang and Xiao Zheng were still working in the official department, so he hurriedly went to the patrol camp to find He Xu.

Seeing him coming, He Xu was a little surprised and said: "Jing Bo, I heard that you are going to join the army and go north. I was just planning to go to your house to congratulate you later. You are so aggressive, what happened?"

Ji Lan quickly asked, "Did anything unusual happen near Swallow Alley yesterday?"

He Xu saw that he asked strangely, so he quickly said: "There is something wrong, but the patrol battalion can't control it."

Ji Lan said: "Brother He was joking, the patrol camps are all over the capital, what can you do that you can't interfere?"

He Xu shook his head and said: "I really can't control it. Yesterday, some inspecting soldiers reported that they met some big inner guards and kidnapped a man in Tsing Yi. You also know that the big inner guards are the people who handle errands in the palace. How dare we Tube?"

When Ji Lan heard this, she was quite surprised, said her farewell, and went straight to the Ministry of Officials to find Xiao Liang.

In the Chonghua Palace, after Xiao Yi finished reviewing the memorial, he summoned the leader of the hidden guards and asked, "Have you caught the unknown soldier who stayed in the Yin Mansion for several days?"

The leader of the hidden guard replied: "Return to the Holy One. This person is called Zhao Xinquan, a Jiangling man. He was sentenced to be sent to the army two years ago. The old grand master is kind, so he came to worship. For some reason, when King Jiannan saw him, he drew his sword and faced him."

Xiao Yi said: "I don't know about King Jiannan's temperament. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to provoke him. This person is so weird that he can cut him with a knife. That's all. After he was injured, the King of Jiannan invited the imperial physician to treat his injury, and even the King of Qin, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble."

The leader of the secret guards asked: "Why don't you use torture to extract a confession?"

Xiao Yi shook his head and continued to ask: "You said he is an ugly person? Is there anything special about him?"

The leader of the dark guard replied: "There are many scars on his body, but they are all old wounds, and they should have been there for a year or two. He is just wearing ordinary clothes, but there is a painting, which the subordinates have never looked at."

Xiao Yi said: "Submit it."

He opened the painting, but saw a child playing by the water, beside a white tiger holding an orchid in its mouth.His expression changed drastically, and he said, "Where is he now? Was he injured when you captured him?"

The leader of the dark guard saw that his expression was different, so he was a little bit suspicious, but Zhang Leshi was outside the hall again, so he could only say: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, that man fought desperately with his subordinates at that time. His martial arts are not low, but his right shoulder was injured. , so he was quickly captured alive. The subordinate stabbed him in the leg at the time, but it was not serious, because His Majesty only ordered me to arrest him, and the doctor had already asked the doctor to watch him last night."

Xiao Yi said: "You go to Zhang Gonggong and ask for two bottles of Shengji Huan Gu Gao, apply it to this person, then let him go."

The leader of the dark guard was a little surprised, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he nodded and retreated.

Xiao Yi tore the painting to pieces, sighed: "Forget it, I have already killed you once, and the relationship between father and son is broken. Since you escaped from the dead and are reborn as a human being, I will let you go."

Zhang Leshi was guarding outside the hall, seeing him coming out, and knowing what happened, he said to the leader of the hidden guards: "It's a good thing you haven't seen the painting, otherwise you might just move your head."

The leader of the dark guard wondered: "Eunuch, looking at the appearance of the Holy Majesty, it seems that this person has a lot to do with him. Why did you let him go so easily? This Shengjihuangu ointment is an extremely valuable ointment for falling. It is said that it is priceless in the market. There are only five bottles left by the genius doctor, but the Holy Majesty gave that person two bottles at once."

Zhang Leshi smiled and said: "You and I have been working in the palace for a long time, can't you even pretend to be deaf and dumb?"

The leader of the secret guard said: "Next month, it will be the humble official's birthday. I heard that my father-in-law will also have a holiday. I wonder if I can give him a face..."

Zhang Leshi interrupted: "I will teach you a trick now, what is pretending to be deaf and dumb."

At this moment, the little eunuch Qi Yuan brought Shengjihuangu paste, Zhang Leshi handed over the medicine to him, and entered Chonghua Hall without saying hello.
