Prince is a ghost

The day before Yan Xichao's expedition, the emperor held a banquet in the palace to see off the soldiers.Since the queen and prince had just passed away, the banquet was relatively simple.Chu Quan and Yan Xichao sat on both sides of the emperor respectively. They were the highest commanders in the army, one civil and one military.

The emperor was in a bad mood and didn't say much all the time.The ministers were also well-behaved, they didn't even dare to communicate loudly with their colleagues, they just drank in muffled voices.

At the end of the day, the emperor said to Yan Xichao: "I wish Aiqing a triumphant return!"

Yan Xichao said indifferently: "I will not disgrace my mission."

"And..." the emperor said softly, "Protect the national teacher."

"Unless I die, he will be safe and sound." Yan Xichao glanced at Chu Quan who was playing with his wine glass in boredom.It was just this look that shocked the emperor. He had never seen such profound emotions in the eyes of this indifferent general. He looked at Chu Quan as if he wanted to engrave Chu Quan deeply in his life. .The emperor always believed that his national teacher and the general were at odds, but now it seems that things are not that simple.But the war was imminent, and the emperor could only convince himself that he was thinking too much.

On the second day, Yan Xichao led the army out of the city mightily.Chu Quan set off on the road lightly, without bringing a single confidant, surrounded by Yan Xichao's people.But he didn't care about this at all - Yan Xichao would not do anything to him, he was very sure, after all, Yan Xichao's guilt and so-called love for him were something he could take advantage of.

From the capital to the battlefield in the north, it takes as little as ten days and as long as half a month.Chu Quan sat in the carriage most of the time, sometimes closed his eyes to rest his mind, and sometimes looked at the scenery outside the window.Chu Quan could tell that the condition of the carriage during the war could not have been so good: the seats were covered with soft cushions, and a small square table was placed in the middle. On the table were endless fruits and snacks, and under the table were some Books to pass the time.Whatever Chu Quan needed, he only needed to call softly, and someone would come to meet his needs immediately.Thanks to someone, Chu Quan felt that he was not going to fight, but to go on vacation.

But Yan Xichao likes to find someone to serve him, so he accepts it, anyway, he is the one who is comfortable.However, Chu Quan was a little puzzled. It had been three days since he set off, and Chu Quan had never seen Yan Xichao once.Could it be that he was avoiding himself?Well, anyway, out of sight is out of sight.

That night, the army camped on the outskirts of a city to rest.Chu Quan was sleepy in the carriage for a day during the day, feeling bored, and planned to go out for a walk.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, the soldier sitting at the door who was devouring food immediately stood up, "Master, what are your orders?"

Chu Quan smiled kindly, "It's okay, I'll just take a look, you continue to eat." Chu Quan looked at the things in the soldier's bowl, and frowned: "Is this what you eat?"

"Yes!"

Chu Quan thought for a while, but said nothing.He walked for a while, and came to the temporary kitchen. He had just finished cooking, and the inside was in a mess, and there was no sign of the cook. It seemed that he had gone out to eat.

Chu Quan glanced at the ingredients displayed in the kitchen.Heh, it seems that Yan Xichao is using his entire army to support him alone.

At this time, Chu Quan heard a slight sound of footsteps, and then two thin soldiers sneaked in.Chu Quan secretly laughed in his heart, and quietly hid.

After the two people came in, one of them immediately began to look here and there, and then complained dissatisfiedly: "What are these! It's not for people to eat at all."

Chu Quan was slightly taken aback, only feeling that this man's voice was somewhat familiar.

Another said in disbelief: "These are very good! We are at war now, and it is not easy to fill our stomachs!"

The man snorted coldly, "You are used to hard times! When I was at home, these things were fed to pigs."

"So your family is rich!"

"Of course." A very proud voice.

"Then why did you come to fight? I am because if I don't join the army, my mother will starve to death..."

The man's voice lowered, "I want to follow him."

Chu Quan finally remembered where he had heard this crisp voice. He was just about to go out when he heard that voice very unwillingly say: "I have seen someone deliver food to the national teacher, and his food is a thousand times better than ours. A hundred times! Why, the general still eats the same as us."

"Maybe it's because the general likes him very much!"

"Nonsense! How could our general like him! Don't you know the rumors in the palace?"

"What rumor?"

The man smiled sarcastically, and said in a low voice: "It is said that the current emperor also has a habit of cutting off his sleeves. The national teacher climbed onto the dragon bed and won the emperor's favor. The general treats the national teacher so well because of the emperor's face."

Another exclaimed: "Is this true?"

"It's about the same. What is the national teacher? It's not the prostitution/favor of an Israeli servant."

Chu Quan laughed, "That's really good."

The two were startled, seeing Chu Quan coming out of the room with a smile on his face, one of them knelt down with a plop, while the other bit his lip and stared at Chu Quan angrily, he was still afraid in his heart, However, when he thought that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and Yan Xichao has the greatest power in the entire army, he refused to accept it and said, "everything I said is true."

"No, I serve people with color, so the emperor gave me the seat of my teacher." Chu Quan glanced at the young man up and down, "But you are not the same? Why don't you see the general doting on you so much? And let you live here Such a hard day."

"I do it voluntarily!"

"Oh? That's really interesting." Chu Quan narrowed his eyes, and suddenly grabbed the boy's clothes and pulled him over. The boy screamed, "What do you want!"

Chu Quan sneered, raised his chin, and looked straight into his big black eyes, "Don't you dislike the fact that you can't eat the food here? I'll take you to eat something good."

The boy kept struggling, "Let me go!"

Chu Quan didn't understand at all, and dragged him out, leaving the other soldier stunned.

Yan Xichao and Zhuang Sui discussed the marching route for the next few days, rubbed their brows wearily, and subconsciously asked, "What is Chu Quan doing now?"

Zhuang Sui was quite helpless, "General, you only asked half an hour ago. The national teacher should have a rest in the tent after dinner."

"Well, when you fall asleep, ask someone to tell me."

Yan Xichao usually didn't appear in front of Chu Quan, but when Chu Quan fell asleep, he would always stand beside his bed for an hour or two, doing nothing but looking at Chu Quan in the dark.

——Obviously can't see anything.

A soldier hurried in, "Report to the general, the national teacher..."

Yan Xichao stood up abruptly, "What happened to him?"

"National Teacher, he dragged a soldier towards the stable."

Zhuang Sui asked in confusion, "What is he doing there?"

Yan Xichao immediately said, "Let's go and have a look."

Being dragged all the way to the stable, the boy's hair was already loose, so Chu Quan simply pulled his hair and pushed him into the stable.

The young man's arrogance was gone at this moment, and he fell to the ground, looking at Chu Quan with a pale face.

Chu Quan bent down, grabbed his shoulders, and made him face down, facing the black horse dung. "Come on, try this taste, if you like it, I will bring you to eat every day."

"No! Don't!" The boy yelled at the top of his voice, tearing up, "General, come and save me!"
