I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

Everyone turned their attention to Chen Jia. Chen Jia put down the teacup in her hand and expressed her views to everyone, "Ajue and I were begging along the way. Most of the refugees we met were in groups of two or three. They found that the city was being massacred in the north, so they united to resist the fate of being massacred."

"It is said that they were originally beggars, but were later promoted to the Beggars' Army by your master?"

Huan Yi asked with a smile. Chen Jia knew that Huan Yi came from a family of military generals and cared a lot about the source of soldiers.

In fact, she also hoped to have a good relationship with Huan Yi and get some help from the Huan family of Qiao State before going to Shouchun City.

"Yes, my master did submit a petition for them."

Wang Meng tapped the table, "I'm very curious about the fighting power of the Qihuo Army."

"From what I saw along the way, the beggars were no less powerful than the armored cavalry."

"Armored cavalry? Even without armor, they have this ability?"

"Yes."

Wang Meng looked at Huan Yi, and Huan Yi's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, the Qihuo Army does have good manpower and can become an elite force."

Xie Shang smiled and waved his fan, "How are their riding skills?"

"Most of these people were born as horse slaves in Bingzhou. They are very familiar with horses and have excellent horsemanship."

Xie Shang smiled and teased Wei Lang, "It seems that they can indeed be organized into an elite cavalry. Rui Qing, where did you get this treasure? You are so familiar with the Beggars' Army?"

Wei Lang smiled rather domineeringly, "She is already mine, you are too late to give Lancao to her."

"Okay, I won't compete with you. Although the Northern Army can be established, who will train the soldiers? It can't be us, right?"

Chen Jia smiled and looked at her brother Chen Jue, then looked at Wei Lang. Wei Lang understood what Chen Jia meant, and he said, "How about Huan Yi be the commander-in-chief, Chen Jue be the assistant, and you guys provide the money and food?"

Huan Yi pointed at his nose and said, "Me? Are you sure you want me to go?"

Wei Lang nodded seriously, "Yes, only you, the Huan family, can do this."

Huan Yi shrugged and pointed at the silent Chen Jue, "I heard that this kid is a chatterbox. What happened today? Did you poison him to silence him?"

Wei Lang smiled and looked at Chen Jue, "He is also my brother-in-law. He didn't speak today. Maybe it's because he is shy because he met you for the first time. Jue, Zhang Du is asking you a question."

Chen Jue knew that he had to give an answer, and continued with Wei Lang's words, "I am just a junior, how can I speak nonsense if you don't speak? If I don't speak well, I will inevitably have a few words with you."

Huan Yi clapped his hands and laughed, "See, what did I say? This kid is just bullying Jue."

Wei Lang rolled his eyes at Chen Jue in annoyance, then glanced sideways at Huan Yi.

Wang Menglang laughed out loud, "Hahaha, Ruiqing, when did you start to care so much about your reputation? You get unhappy when your brother-in-law complains about you?"

Xie Shang picked up a cup of tea, drank it elegantly, and said lightly: "After all, you have to act like the head of the family."

Wei Lang snorted, causing everyone to laugh again. When everyone had laughed enough, he asked, "Is today's matter settled?"

Xie Shang nodded, "That's fine, but we don't want to be fooled by spending money in vain. We have to see the effect of spending money."

Wang Meng echoed, "Don't lose your sense of propriety in order to gild your brother-in-law."

Huan Yi leaned on the armrest and said, "Isn't he going to escort the military rations? Then let's see how the Qihuo Army shines in the hands of the Chen siblings. I am looking forward to the quality of these soldiers."

Wei Lang smiled and raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I have to show off to Yi Yi."

Huan Yi approached Wei Lang and nodded, "I can't be the commander of the Northern Army who is doomed to fail, right?"

"Too."

Wei Lang was toasting and chatting happily with everyone, while Chen Jia and Chen Jue, brother and sister, just sat aside.

When the song ended and everyone left, Wei Lang was sitting drunk in the carriage.

Wei Lang closed his eyes and leaned on Chen Jia's shoulder. "I have asked the servants to take the drunk Chen Jue back home."

"Thank you."

"Yiyi, today's matter is settled. Come with me to Shouchun the day after tomorrow."

"it is good."

Wei Lang raised his hand while drunk and wanted to touch Chen Jia's eyebrows, but Chen Jia shyly avoided it.

Wei Lang smiled gently and tied up her hair. "You just need to know that I never break my promises."

"Rui Qing, where are you staying today?"

Chen Jia always felt that it was not appropriate for Wei Lang to live in the Duke of Zhao's mansion for several days in a row. The Wei family in Hedong would inevitably have some thoughts about his behavior.

"Duke Zhao's Mansion."

"Will your family agree?"

"When working in the Dali Temple, sometimes I can't help but be unable to go home. Besides, Jue and I are both in the Dali Temple."

Chen Jia was silent. Yes, Chen Jue's identity as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was the best protection for Wei Lang to stay in the Duke of Zhao's Mansion.

"Yi Yi doesn't want me to live in Duke Zhao's mansion?"

"No, it's not."

"I will spend a lot of time living in Duke Zhao's mansion in the future. Yi Yi will get used to it one day."

Wei Lang closed his eyes and rested. He planned to go to Shouchun City with Chen Jia the day after tomorrow.

At night, the lights were on in the mansion of Duke Zhao. Chen Jia helped the drunken Wei Lang to the side room. Wei Lang leaned against the door of the side room and looked at Chen Jia with drunken eyes.

"Yiyi, you are so beautiful under the moon."

"Rui Qing... don't talk nonsense..."

"So you like being shy so much? It's okay, I'll be more polite in the future. You should get used to people liking you sooner."

Wei Lang patted Chen Jia on the top of her head, then staggered back to the room.

When Chen Jiacai returned to her room, she saw Chen Jue, who was not drunk. Chen Jue was drinking tea and waiting for her.

"You're not drunk?"

Chen Jue didn't know why he had to come here, but he couldn't help himself. At today's party, he realized Wei Lang's strength. The communication between the top wealthy families was not something that a young master like him who had just returned to Kyoto could interfere with.

So, when Chen Jia asked him to rely on himself to build up his strength and not to harbor grudges against Wei Lang, he completely understood.

Even though, he understood, he still wanted to come and see her, even if he could only be her younger brother.

"Sister, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, you know that."

"I'm glad you're not drunk."

Chen Jia sat opposite Chen Jue. Chen Jue looked at her flushed cheeks and felt a sour feeling in his heart.

Did Wei Lang make my sister fall in love so quickly?

That’s right, Wei Lang is handsome, capable, has many friends, and can help her rise to the top. If he were a woman, she would also like Wei Lang.

But... he didn't want her to not have any trace of him in her heart.

"Sister, Shouchun City, be careful on your way and don't be too aggressive."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

"If you encounter any problems, please write to me immediately. I will come no matter what."

"it is good."

Chen Jue didn't know what to say for a moment, and the two of them fell into a terrible silence.

After a while, Chen Jue stood up and walked to the door. He held the door handle tightly and said, "Sister, I will investigate the matter of Shouchun City's fall. I will also support the Zhaoguo Mansion. In the future, I will not let you work so hard."

Chen Jia looked at Chen Jue's back. Has he finally grown up?
