"What do you want to ask, son?"

The night wind blows, and the coolness is deep.The chirping of insects gradually faded away, and in the bone-piercing cold, Wan Lian asked aloud.Such a question.

"Gloom."

The smile on Wan Lian's face froze, as a sword, it was rare for her to retreat.The three souls of spirit fetus, clear light and dark light are indispensable when reincarnated.The spiritual womb is a refreshing spirit, which inherits human nature, clear light carries human wisdom, and dark light determines human fate.Now when he mentions Youguang, this is...

While thinking about it, he saw a silver light flickering in Jiang Chen's palm and emerged.

Wan Lian saw the phantom clearly, frowned, then sat down, and didn't look at Jiang Chen again, "Master, can you believe cause and effect?"

"Humph."

Jiang Chen sneered back.

"Shouyou, as the name suggests, sticks to the light. Once it comes, it will be safe. Now that it has existed, why should you pursue the reason for the relationship?"

It's really a good one that exists in the world, so why bother to investigate the cause of the relationship.

As soon as Fang heard this sentence, Jiang Chen felt that he should be furious, but at this moment, he felt that it was unnecessary.What is there to hate about him?

There was no words for a while, and the turret was silent for a moment.

"Written talent!"

"Written talent!"

The voice of Xie Yan calling from the corner tower came from far away.

Jiang Chen flipped his palms, retracted Shouyou, his eyes fell, and saw Xie Yan's figure coming out of the main hall.

Wan Lian breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that this person is really a savior, grabbed Jiang Chen's sleeve and swept down the stairs, landing in front of Xie Yan.

Xie Yan's eyes lit up, "Good work!" Seeing Jiang Chen, he bowed his head and smiled, "Wen Cai, Shouyang prefect sincerely invites us to cleanse the army, Yan Guan time is approaching, and you and Brother Wan Lian have not been seen yet, come here Look for one or two." Before Jiang Chen could reply, he said, "I don't care about drinking and having fun, but I don't want to show up for the celebration banquet. I'm afraid everyone will have trouble behind their backs."

Wan Lian replied decisively, "Thank you brother for your concern. I'll pass right away." A few days ago, the young master led the army to break Xiangcheng, and the young master publicly stated that he was not from a lowly family. Even if Xie Yan had opinions on him, there was nothing he could do about it.

Although the so-called good and low-born people in the world make no difference to him, but the young master has a (good intention) heart, although the lotus is unpopular, it is not ignorant.

"Yuan Du has offended me a lot recently, I hope Brother Wan Lian will forgive me."

He was so urgent, Wan Lian replied happily, "No problem, no problem, brother Yuandu don't need to worry about it."

He was so happy that Xie Yanzhang Er couldn't think about it.

Another thing is that the grain superintendent sent by Kyoto to escort the food and grass is a member of Shangyu Zhu's family.

So at the banquet, Jiang Chen heard, "Shangyu Zhu Yingquan, this younger brother Zhu Yingqi, under the order of the emperor, escorted 30 stones of grain and grass to the frontline army. Now the frontlines are reporting frequent successes, and all the generals have made great contributions..."

Jiang Chen sat at the table, and looked up when he heard the words. The other party was about forty years old, with a broad body and a fat body. He had the usual friendly appearance of a businessman, but he didn't actually look like a master with a thousand hectares of fertile land.This may be related to its status in the family.

Zhu Yingquan.Shangyu people.

interesting.

He was accompanied by a boy who was about XX years old, and he looked upright.

Zhu Yingqi.Congratulations to the eighth son of the Zhu family.

To put it more bluntly, Jiang Chen did care a little about his identity.

Zhu Yingtai's compatriot brother.

This information flashed in his mind, Jiang Chen was silent and did not move for a long time.

Xie Yan tilted his head and glanced, then looked down at Zhu Yingqi who couldn't hide his impatience for such a banquet even if he wanted to, and thought for a while, and thought, maybe the literary talent is used to being alone, and he will be at a loss when he meets his peers up

It is rare for a literary talent to cast his eyes on his peers... Although, even if he is an older person, he only manages to treat each other with courtesy.

Sometimes Xie Yan faintly felt that he knew whether they knew each other or not.There are a few times, but they don't really care.He didn't care about his status as the prime minister's nephew, nor did he seem to be interested in Nishan Academy.It was just a coincidence that their classmates met.Like ripples in clear water, after a moment, there will be no more waves.

In fact, as his elder brother said, he doesn't know much about Wencai's thoughts.Although he was only eight years old, he acted too well.He said that before the Qin and Jin battles, before the water flooded Xiangcheng, he had already drawn out the refugees in the city, but he didn't show it.Waiting for the change in the court before taking action... As a result, the court was completely silent.

Whether it's the tent or the battlefield or even the direction of the wind, he is so calm and suitable, as if everything is never worried about the unexpected.Like a battle-tested general, and a politician at every step... But thinking of his age and identity, Xie Yan said to himself that he was just born smart and nothing else.

"I don't know this little boy..."

Zhu Yingquan's words woke Xie Yan up for an instant, and he saw his eyes fixed on Jiang Chen, and the meaning of the question was quite obvious.

"This..." Xie Yan immediately got up to deal with it, but Xie Xuan secretly raised his hand to stop him.

Jiang Chen glanced at the slight abnormality here, and had a clear idea of ​​what he was thinking.It's just that the matter of Xiangcheng is too tough this time, although the court has nothing to say, but the whispers still exist.At the same time, he also made a general and regarded him as a foreign minister.Now that the Xiangcheng incident has happened, it is inappropriate for the internal ministers to have too much contact with the foreign ministers, otherwise they will be suspected of forming a clique.Huan Wen learned from the past, so the current emperor is extremely suspicious.Being an emperor, being suspicious is a safe and good quality.

Because of this, Xie's gentry had to avoid suspicion.

Although it was a little earlier, Jiang Chen was not surprised.

Xie Xuan tilted his head, but never met Jiang Chen's gaze.

"Hangzhou Ma Wencai." Jiang Chen stood up, held up his wine glass, with a polite smile on his lips, "I wish the army escorted the food and grass, and worked hard. Wencai respects the army."

Hearing his answer like this, Zhu Ying gave him a compliment intentionally or unintentionally between words, Zhu Ying was full of satisfaction, picked up the wine brought by the maid beside her, and respected him from afar. "Don't you dare. The general is famous far and wide, I wish you a long time to look up to me." After speaking, he thought his answer was appropriate and natural, and blurted out, "It's just that I never thought that the general is so young, and he is a hero!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present had different expressions.

It is absolutely impossible to say that Zhu Ying did not know Ma Wencai's age.The good news of Xiangcheng has been sent back to the capital, and now that the overall situation has been settled, Zhu Yingquan came here with the last batch of escorted food and grass, how could he not know about this eight-year-old son of a noble family who was named a general.

Xie Yan frowned secretly.I don't know whether this person has a heart or no brains. At this time, this sentence is simply setting up literary talent as a target, making it a thorn in the side...

Jiang Chen's complexion remained unchanged, and his answer was even more official, "I wish Suijun a great reputation. In ancient times, in wars, the bloodshed of soldiers was never far away, and the dispatch of the court was never far away. There was a constant supply of food and grass, and the morale of the army was never lost. It is by no means the strength of a single person. If this statement is spread, it will chill the hearts of thousands of soldiers in the army."

Wan Lian sat in the shadow behind Jiang Chen's left side, and they could hear every word clearly.Turning to see Xie Yan, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

That's good, Zhu Yingquan was labeled as disturbing the morale of the army in a few words.

Zhu Yingquan was stunned, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally understood what he meant. Her knees softened and she knelt down, "Forgive me, General. Zhu Mou has no such intentions, but it's just..."

But after a long time, there is no follow-up.I always feel like I don't know how to speak up.When the two armies are at war, they disturb the morale of the army.Even if Zhujiazhuang paid half of the court tax, he could not afford such a crime.

Jiang Chen's expression was calm, "I wish the army's lack of words was not intentional. However, when the two armies are fighting, I hope that the army will pay more attention in the future. Please stand up and sit down."

Should it be unexpected or expected?

Obviously he hasn't done anything yet, and when he encounters these legendary righteous parties who are well-known to every family through the ages, what he says will be misinterpreted either intentionally or unintentionally.

Sure enough, are they born hostile?

"Thank you, General! Thank you, General!" Zhu Yingquan felt relieved and thanked her several times. She raised her sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

The prefect of Shouyang stayed aside for a long time. Seeing that the situation was stable at this moment, he came out to smooth things over, and brought a glass of wine, "Today's banquet, let's not talk about other things. The generals are here, one is to take back the land of Xiangcheng, and the other is to report the success ahead. , Everyone, if you don’t get drunk, you don’t return, if you don’t get drunk, you don’t return.”

Seeing the situation, Wan Lian curled her lips.He can fully guarantee that this Zhu Yingquan is purely stupid.But being brainless to this point is considered a realm.If you don't know the situation and speak rashly in public, you will be taught a lesson.

The man of Shangyu Zhujia.

Is that Zhu Yingtai's relative?

Wan Lian supported her head and shook the wine cup, watching the lights flickering on and off... I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this time, troubles more troublesome than the war came...

Speaking of which, Shangyu Zhujiazhuang is obviously a bunch of ordinary people, how did it survive in this era when the gentry controlled the power?It is also said that it accounts for half of the tax money of the national treasury every year?Is there no one interested in Zhu Jiajia property?Could it be that all the families are so high-spirited? ...it's just so weird...

If it has been like this...

I'm afraid, it is inevitable to deal with Zhu's family.

As for the various aristocratic families in this world, they have been compared to princes and occupy one side.If you think about it, you won't compromise easily, so naturally you can't stay.

Wan Lian thought about this, paused, and couldn't help correcting her posture.He finally knew what it means to be close to vermilion, red and close to ink, to be black.If he was still following the former master, he would not have thought ahead of time about such things as how to disintegrate the family.

Finding the owner's side, although there are occasional thrills, it always makes people feel very interesting.

There are not many interesting things in the world, and it is even rarer if he lives such a colorful life.

It also exists for protection, the conduct of the former owner is indeed admirable, but it is not so mediocre.

This is more in line with his essential hobby as a sword spirit.

Although the sword is not the gentleman of a hundred soldiers, it is also a weapon of killing.

……

Jiang Chen would occasionally go to the barracks to check in person.For him, it was occasional, but for military doctors, big and small, it was frequent.

Frequently, he knows everything from the school army to the wounded.

Although it has something to do with his appearance, it is not fundamental.

When he came here, he could see more clearly what it meant to be like a straw, and what it meant to be as light as a flying canopy.

In the camp where the wounded soldiers were placed, there were wailing in the ears, and blood in the eyes.

Even if most of them survive, this life is doomed to be unhealthy.

Seeing him coming again, all the people's voices of pain slowed down a bit. Even though the pain was not over, some old people greeted with forced smiles, "Young master, you are here."

Even though the general's decree has been handed down, in this camp, they still see the gentle and patient young man in their eyes, nothing else.

"Well. I'm here."

He answered one sentence, two sentences, three sentences... What he saw in his eyes was the dazzling blood on the sheets covering their bodies.

Dr. Xu Jun was covered in blood, and when he saw Jiang Chen, he hurriedly got up to tidy up.He greeted him with his medical kit in his arms, his wrinkled face rarely showed some lightness. Thinking of his current status, he straightened his sleeves and bowed his hands, "General, you are here."

His voice was vicissitudes and hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot.That's not because of his old age, but because he hasn't had a good rest for a long time.Xu Feng'an has been with the army for many years, and now he is almost ancient.If it weren't for his excellent medical skills and his intention to stay in the barracks, he should also return to his hometown to be raised.

For an elderly man, Jiang Chen would not feel embarrassed, and stretched out his hand to support him, "Military doctors don't need to be polite. There are a lot of injuries in the army, and it has been raining heavily for the past few days. These soldiers are fortunate to have you take care of them. The weather It's getting colder. Hearing that the food and quilts have been delivered this time, Wen came over to take a look."

Doctor Xu turned his head and glanced at the wounded around him. Even though he had seen thousands of lives and deaths, he still couldn't bear it, and sighed, "The general has a heart. The soldiers in the army are lucky to meet the general. A few days ago, General Wan Lian sent him Herbs, I have used them, those with minor injuries have already left here, most of them here are new arrivals."

As for the coats and such...

Always in the future, I am afraid, will not come.

Thinking about the recent situation, Xu Fengan finally couldn't help persuading him, "Young general, just listen to Xu." He has been in the army for many years, and he has experienced too many things.With the current attitude, the imperial court probably has no intention of continuing to fight.

"Please tell me." Jiang Chen took his medicine box, took out various herbs and smelled them, and when they mixed each other, he responded.

Xu Fengan suppressed his voice, "General, I am afraid that the imperial court will call you back to Beijing in a few days. At that time..."

I'm afraid that the matter of the Northern Expedition will be left as it was before.As for those who have made great contributions, I am afraid that they should be more worried.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment while dispensing the medicine, and smiled faintly, "The old man is kind, and I appreciate it. Don't worry about this matter."

Things will not be that simple, but it is not troublesome.
