The general is in charge, the prime minister is corrupt

I froze for a moment, almost out of habit, and cleared my throat.But it felt inappropriate again, it seemed that doing anything at this time was a bit embarrassing.Out of courtesy, he still walked forward and cupped his hands: "General Luo."

From now on, they will be colleagues, and Huo Nu and his party must take care of each other.But he is so skilled in martial arts, he definitely doesn't need help from others.

He looked at me with a half-smile: "So it's Lord Shi." The new official uniform he was wearing was very slim, with a dark red dragon-patterned background, thin willow leaves embroidered with cloud silk, and a light green lace in the middle of the belt. Xuanshan jade.The hair is not combed casually like that day, but fastened with a hairpin, which is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

Although he looked a little absent-minded, he hadn't forgotten the business.Walking on the thin cobblestones, I suddenly said: "General Luo saw it just now, please keep it in your heart and don't spread it around, okay?"

To put it bluntly like this, he was a little embarrassed, his face was obviously stiff, but he quickly returned to normal: "I didn't see anything today."

"That's good." Si Jue was so blatant just now, it was hard not to be seen.I curled my lips helplessly and tried to change the subject: "To be honest, I hold a false position in the Ministry of Rites, so I have already seen and heard about the general's bravery."

"Don't dare to be." His originally sharp eyes, when he smiled, became soft and outrageous, making it easy for people to let go of their guards and want to get close to him, "Actually, winning the championship was not the intention, but unfortunately the final opponent suddenly said that he was unwell and didn't want to be with him." I competed, so this champion is also unbeatable."

It turned out to be the case, no wonder the date is one day earlier.Suddenly, I thought of a figure, short and wearing a felt hat, probably he had given up.

"You can't say that." I looked up at him, just in time to see his reddish eyes, "I'm afraid the general is superior in martial arts, which is why he keeps his opponents intimidated."

While talking on his lips, he was thinking about how to explain to his parents when he got home.My father is fine, how can my mother be willing to part with his son.When the imperial decree came down, I was appointed to enter the palace by name, and my mother took care of everything for food and clothing, and turned around every step in front of the city gate.Now I'm going to the battlefield, regardless of life or death, I will love her to death.As I was thinking about it, I asked the people beside me: "Have you ever discussed with your family about the expedition?"

With his hands behind his back, his expression was flat: "What kind of family are you referring to? If you don't count them as friends, then I have no one to discuss with. Because I have never seen my parents since I was a child, so I have nothing to worry about."

"Ah?" I didn't realize it all at once, "Then you..." How did you survive?I swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly. After all, I am a stranger, so I'm afraid it's not good to ask so abruptly.So I thought to myself, maybe because of the war at that time, I was abandoned in my infancy, and was taken in and raised by some kind-hearted people to teach martial arts.

if it is like this…

If he is free, I can ask him to accompany me home to strengthen my courage. For the sake of the guests, my mother should restrain herself a bit, so as to save time for the family to take care of her.I made up my mind and patted him on the shoulder: "If you have nothing to do today, why don't you go to my house and get together?"

"Second Young Master is back!" The servant served tea and water diligently, "It turns out that Young Master still has guests." Entering the small hall, I kept thinking about countermeasures.

Since I was promoted to an official, I have my own mansion, and I only go home during the holidays, unless there is something important, I don't run to Si Jue, so my ears are clean.Not to mention my mother, that guy Si Jue can teach me a lesson, thinking of today's "lesson", I can't help but blush.

The one who served us tea was a new servant called Shi Huai, who was a good servant in calligraphy and ink, and it was not easy to get a servant's name.Thirteen or fourteen years old, with bright eyebrows and bright eyes, is very clever.

"Master and Madam went to the Jinxiang Pavilion to listen to an opera, and they said they won't be back until tomorrow."

What a coincidence.I silently glanced at Luo Zhongliu, he was not at all restrained, as if he was the owner of the house and not me.

I told Shi Huai: "Clean up a guest room for Mr. Luo... By the way, is my room cleaned up?"

"Yes." He smiled, "Madam ordered the servants to tidy up every day, and it was a coincidence that the young master came back once, but he was outside again.

"Then tell the kitchen to make some wine and food. By the way, the wine should not be too strong, and the food should be as light as possible."

Shi Huai wrote down one by one: "Master's taste is similar to Madam's."

Without waiting for him to turn around, I said again, bring me my osmanthus chessboard.Only then did he turn around and say to Luo Zhongliu, "Please be more casual."

I didn't know what to say: "That General Luo, no, Big Brother Luo." This time it was even more embarrassing, as soon as I said these three words, I felt goose bumps all over my body.How come it sounds like a 16-year-old girl in Huaichun calling her lover, this makes her even more uncomfortable.

"Call me Yuen Long." The gentle voice is like mellow wine, which makes people taste it again and again: "This is the word my godfather gave me."

"Then you can just call me Shi Lang." Thinking of the words my dead father gave me, my face flushed again.The light-yellow lampshade warms the room, and some ice is placed around to keep the heat from lingering.After drinking some of Uncle Ge's newly brewed peach blossom wine, my throat opened up a little, and the faint floral fragrance wafted from the tip of my nose, but it was not as violent as caviar.

The chessboard has not been used for a long time, but it is still as shiny as new.It seems that Shi Huai is not lying, the chess pieces are shining brightly, as if they have life under the dancing candlelight.

"I don't know how to play chess." Luo Zhongliu said innocently.

No, yes, next...

I seemed to be petrified, how could I miss this move, a mouthful of old blood that had accumulated for many years almost burst out of my throat.

"Uh, is that so?" I silently put away the chess pieces, twitching the corners of my mouth, "It's a pity that it's still difficult to turn off the fire when you're in the mood.

Just about to let out a long sigh, he saw a white finger standing in front of the chessboard: "I never come to the meeting for anything, but I don't know if A-Lang is interested in teaching me."

This A-Lang yelled very smoothly, as if he had yelled it countless times.At the end of the sentence, it was like something numb licked the tip of my heart, which made me tremble.I suppressed the idea of ​​hugging him by force, silently thinking that his words must be poisonous.Look at his expectant, uh, smile: "Of course."

"Yuen Long..." He called out, but he still felt his whole body tense up.I quickly changed the subject: "This chess is really like fighting a war. First of all, the layout is the foundation." I put down nine sunspots and stuck him a few times, don't say I bullied him.

"The nine star positions around Tianyuan must be occupied first, but it would be even better if you have a unique move. It's like fighting a war with the right time, place and people, and the final battle will be inseparable."

"If I want to attack by force in a war, how can I stick to such rules?"

"Of course you can play fast chess and catch the opponent by surprise, but I'm afraid this is not recommended by military strategists." I picked up a roll of white pieces, "I don't know how to fight, these are just talk on paper, if Yuen Long gains something , then I’m satisfied. I’m going to Huonu now, and I hope you will support me more.”

"That's natural, but I'm just an unknown person, so I don't dare to be a supporter." He looked into my eyes, and for some reason, I always had the illusion that his lips were about to fall in the next moment Come on, those eyes made me panic, I hurriedly lowered my eyelids, laid out some simple chess games, and briefly explained.

"Is this how General Luo looks at people?" I couldn't help it, that strange feeling made me feel bored.

"I'm sorry, Luo is not from Meng Lang, but..." His hand suddenly stretched out, then stopped in mid-air, and his slender fingers tapped out of nowhere, "A-Lang's eyes, I can't help but look at them more." Take a look, it's...beautiful."

Strange, many people have said this to me, but why do people feel so embarrassed when it comes out of his mouth?I was very humble: "My elder brother's eyes are much prettier than mine." Although I never admitted it.

My elder brother went to the military barracks after urinating, and he was also away from home all year round.But he must be more unrestrained than I am, because every time I sneak out of the palace with Si Jue, I always meet him in various embarrassing occasions.I can only say hello knowingly from a long distance away, and then I know very well that people will not let go.It seems that since I was young, I have only had a handful of words with him, and I only have a vague impression of him.

As soon as the sun came out the next day, Shi Huai knocked on my door: "Master, I'm so awake. Madam heard that you're back, so she hurried over here." I rolled my eyes, wondering what time it is.Pulled off the corner of the quilt and continued to sleep soundly.

Suddenly there was another shock, and he stood up.He put on his clothes indiscriminately, and could not open his eyes in a daze. The next moment, the door was pushed open.When I saw it was Shi Huai, I almost slapped him while I was angry.Lying back on the bed weakly, he wrapped himself tightly in the corner of the quilt again, and said vaguely: "This time it's the heavenly king and I won't get up."
