The next day, at noon

Qiu He brought hot water and looked at the closed door. Thinking that General Yun must be too tired after the battle yesterday, she did not knock on the door. But it was almost noon and she could not go without eating.

Seeing her hesitant, Chuncao came forward and asked softly, "Sister, it's getting late. You should ask the general to get up, wash up, and eat something early. Don't let him get hungry."

"Well, I'll go and shout. By the way, how are the wounded soldiers over there?"

Talking about them, Chuncao smiled and said, "They are all doing well. They have all had their medicines changed and are in good spirits. They also gave us this hairpin as a thank you gift."

Qiu He took it and looked at it carefully. There was a lotus pattern carved on it. Although it was a bit rough, it was very carefully made. She pursed her lips and smiled: "General Yun's subordinates are all good people. Let's do more work in the future and help them wash clothes."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister."

There was a knock on the door and Jiang Li turned over and continued to sleep.

Qiu He's voice came from outside the door: "General Yun, are you awake? Why don't you get up, wash up, eat something, and then go back to sleep? It's almost noon..."

Noon? Jiang Li shuddered and sat up suddenly.

I felt a little dizzy, so I closed my eyes to relax. When I felt better, I stood up and opened the door. I looked tired and yawned, "Qiu He, did you say noon just now?"

Seeing how sleepy he was, Qiu He looked a little worried: "General, do you want to see the doctor? He doesn't look right. Is he too tired?"

Jiang Li rubbed her face, sobered up a little, and waved her hands hurriedly. Are you kidding? She is a woman. If she asks a doctor to take her pulse, that would be telling everyone that she is a woman. You can imagine how the old antiques will react then.

Why bother yourself? Even if you want to see a doctor, you have to wait until you return to Qi State. He casually said, "It's okay. Maybe he's just too tired from the journey and didn't get enough rest on the battlefield."

"Just make some food, and I'll take a nap in the afternoon."

"...Okay, and General Chu sent someone to tell him that there will be a celebration banquet in the evening, so he should not forget it."

Jiang Li nodded, he was too sleepy to open his eyes. It was just the beginning, they hadn't even won the battle yet, why were they holding a celebration banquet? Feng Lan was really extravagant, and he would have to keep a close eye on them when they became a vassal state in the future.

This wasteful habit must not be tolerated.

Yawn~~~

The day passed quickly and the sky gradually darkened.

Jiang Li sat on the chair, looking at the dancing singers below, feeling somewhat uninterested. It was boring, really boring. He wanted to go to sleep. Damn it, he didn't seem to be so sleepy before.

We are in someone else's territory, so it's not easy to ask a doctor to take a look. One pulse revealed everything. I'll have to wait until I get back to see a doctor.

Chu Huai had a smile on his face. He clapped his hands and turned to look aside: "General Yun, do you think the singer didn't sing well?"

"No, it's just that this general likes quietness. As long as General Chu likes it, don't worry about this general. You guys are responsible for watching the singing girl, and I'll be responsible for eating."

"Haha, General Yun, you are joking. If the singer's singing is not good, there are better ones. After the banquet is over, I will send them directly to General Yun's residence. I hope you will accept them."

Jiang Li took two bites and didn't have much appetite. Hearing this, his eyes were a little confused. What did this mean? Why should he accept it? There will be something more delicious later. Do you want to give it to her to try?

Chu Huai glanced at him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he is worthy of being a general who can command the Death Soldiers. This calmness is not comparable to that of ordinary people. He will definitely rise to a high position in the future. It will definitely do no harm to make friends with him.

After the singer finished dancing, she twisted her waist and a sweet breeze wafted over as she walked, making people's noses itch.

Holding the wine pot in hand, a sweet voice sounded: "General Yun, I will pour you a glass of wine. This is the most famous peach blossom wine in Jiudu. It is not intoxicating at all. Why don't you try it?"

She laughed tenderly: "If it is inconvenient for you, General, I can feed you."

Jiang Li took a look at the wine that was handed to his mouth, turned his head away with a look of resistance: "No, this general does not like to drink, you should leave. Can this girl stay away from me? I sprinkled too much perfume powder, and it has become pickled."

"A-choo~, A-choo~~~"

"Ouch, sorry, I don't like strong scents. Please change to someone without a scent bag. You can go down first."

It was the first time for Taohong to be humiliated in front of so many people. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she felt very aggrieved: "General, you are so cruel. I just want to serve you, why are you so heartless? Oh..."

When Jiang Li heard the crying sound, the strings in his head were tense and about to break. He clenched his fists and said patiently: "Young lady, please step back and stop crying. This general is afraid of noise."

"General Yun, this is top-quality stuff, specially prepared for you..."

"Hush, General Chu, if you didn't hear clearly, I will say it one last time. Change to someone without a sachet, talk less and don't cry. A mute is also fine. I'll give this to General Chu."

Chu Huai heard the words and saw the hostility between his eyebrows. He felt a little nervous and knew that he was angry. He scolded him in a low voice: "Useless thing, hurry up and get off. Let Tao Yao serve you instead."

Taohong felt even more aggrieved after being scolded. She snorted twice and walked out quickly. Not long after, a woman in green came in, quietly poured tea without saying a word.

Well, this is good, quiet and my headache doesn’t hurt as much.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Li got up and returned to his residence. He pushed open the door and was about to rest when he was frightened by the person who appeared in the room. "Who are you? Who told you to come to my room?"

The woman in white had a veil covering her face and was sitting motionless on the edge of the bed. When she first saw her, she thought it was a ghost and was scared to death. Could this be the surprise that Feng Lan had talked about?

"Greetings, General Yun. General Chu asked me to come here to serve you well. I am... a pure woman, not dirty."

Silence. The room was as silent as death.

Bai Rui didn't hear the voice, and subconsciously raised her head, meeting that pair of deep eyes, like an ancient well. Her heart trembled slightly, and she was a little scared: "General Yun, is there something wrong with me?"

Jiang Li pursed his lips. He was extremely fed up with the soldiers like Feng Lan. They were not good at fighting to defend their country. Every day, they just got into trouble. Their life stories were very annoying.

"No, it's just that this general has no feelings for women. You can leave now and take the banknotes. It's also fine if you want to stay, but you have to take care of the wounded like Qiu He. Are you willing?"

"This... I am innocent, how can I take care of the wounded? The general is humiliating me. I'd rather die."

Bai Rui stood up and was about to rush into the wall.
