Wife is General Ghost Face
Chapter 27 Don't Go, Don't Go!
001
After the several lieutenants found out about the dike ledger, they were busy for several days, with almost no one in sight.
Not only them, even Chu Yiling and Zhuge Jin disappeared after that day.
Xu Jun lost interest after running to the competition venue for two days by himself, and instead stayed in the inn obediently.
Originally, his biggest task was to help manage food for disaster relief, but with his brother around, he basically didn't need to help with disaster relief, and now he has become an idler.
The martial arts competition gradually reached its climax with the passage of time. After the unattractive audition passed, most of the people who can still stand on the stage today are people with two brushes.
There are more and more tourists on the street, and there are more small vendors taking advantage of this opportunity to do small business than before.
Chu Yiling wasn't there, General Ghost Face was busy, and Xu Jun wasn't interested in the fights of those people, so he chose the time to go shopping in the street.
Before going out, he also hung the short knife given to him by the ghost-faced general before his waist.Although he seldom goes out, he also knows that he should pay more attention to safety when there is a large flow of people.
After making all the preparations, Xu Jun stood in front of the door and patted his chest to make sure that the ring was still there, the purse was in his pocket, and the short knife was hanging on his waist, so he opened the door and went out.
Jingshan City is huge, and there are several main streets alone.
Xu Jun chose one that sells more food, and ate it all the way along the street to the end of the street, until his stomach was so full that he couldn't eat anymore, he touched his stomach and prepared to go back satisfied.
Just as he was turning around, a few young men surrounded by sloppy young men.
"Young master, are you having fun?" The group of people had followed him all the way from the middle of the street.
Xu Jun's face is fair and well-behaved. Although his clothes are simple but the fabrics are of high quality, he looks like a young master who sneaked out of some compound.
"Hand over the things obediently, so that you will suffer less flesh and blood, and the brothers will also save some effort."
Xu Jun held the delicious food he bought and turned slightly to prevent these people from snatching his things.
The people next to him laughed when they saw this. People like Xu Jun are the best to attack. He is a little fat sheep and he has no guts.
Xu Jun retreated to the side, to the corner.
His eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the group of people in front of him curiously. Apart from the bandits in the mountains, he had never seen robbery since he grew up. So this is what robbery is like?
"Why are you so dazed, kid?"
"Hand over the money quickly."
Seeing Xu Jun not moving, several people were angry.
Just when everyone was about to make a move, a group of people suddenly surrounded them, a group of big men in capable short suits.
There were a lot of people in that group, there were about twenty people in total. After they lined up, they surrounded everyone including Mr. Xu.
"What are you doing?" The robbers turned their heads and felt a little ignorant when they saw the large number of people on the other side, but they still insisted: "Do you understand the rules? First come, first served."
A group of men in short clothes raised their eyebrows, first come first?
"Where did you get it from?" Get out of here!" The group of people afterward unceremoniously carried him and threw him out.
This group of people was full of banditry, those people were not opponents at all, after being thrown out, they only dared to jump on the spot, and turned around and ran away after a while.
The group of people ran away, but the group of men in smart short clothes all looked at Xu Jun covetously.
Xu Jun blinked innocently, looking at the group of familiar bandits in front of him, should he say thank you?
"Why are you here?" This group of people is the group of bandits in the mountains beyond their barracks.
Seeing Xu Jun's question, everyone's expressions were distorted.
why are they here
What else could they be for?Not for this guy? !
They had been guarding the city before, waiting for the opportunity to take Xu Jun up the mountain. Who knew that they had waited for a long time, only to find that Xu Jun had already left after the army had set off.
No one knows how long it will take for Xu Jun to go back, maybe it will take two or three months after he leaves.
The harvest season for red mushrooms is in summer. If Xu Jun waits for three months before going back, the red mushrooms in the mountains will already be out of season.
This year, Mr. Xu has tampered with the dishes again, so that they will not get much harvest in Dayu. If the red mushrooms are soaked in soup again, the winter days in the mountains will be sad.
After much deliberation, everyone decided to follow the group of deliverers to find someone here, but when they got here, they happened to meet the martial arts conference, and they went around here for a long time but couldn't find anyone.
"I'll go by myself!" Xu Jun, who had been robbed, was obediently taken out of the city gate and taken to a ruined temple outside the city.
This dilapidated temple has been around for some time, and there are almost only a few tiles left.
"You guys live here?" Xu Jun was surprised.
When this matter was mentioned, a group of bandits showed embarrassment. They brought some food and silver scraps when they came, but the cost of the journey was much more than they expected. In addition, they never found anyone. So the money I had with me had already been spent.
"I want you to take care of it!"
"This is for you." Xu Jun took out the snacks he was holding in his arms, "It's delicious."
Seeing the snacks offered by Xu Jun, all the gangsters who were originally aggressive were stunned for a moment.
Their original purpose of coming here was to tie this man back with evil intentions, but now that they saw Mr. Xu's appearance, they didn't know what to do.
Although they went up to the mountain to become bandits, they were not the kind of people who were really full of banditry. Most of them came to the mountain to beg for a living because they had nowhere to go.
On weekdays, although they always harassed the troops on both sides and the unscrupulous businessmen nearby, they never moved ordinary people or ordinary businessmen.
The reason why I insisted on looking for Jun Xu is because he knows red mushrooms very well and he is from Beijing. Maybe they will rely on his relationship to sell them later.
"It's delicious." Xu Jun passed the snacks forward again, and stuffed them into the arms of several bandits.
Seeing Xu Jun like this, the aggressive crowd softened for a while.
Although their purpose of coming here was to find Mr. Xu, it seemed that they didn't need to be so vicious.
"You don't need to be kind." The leading man looked at the bun in his arms, swallowed, and stuffed the bun back, "You come back with us, our boss wants to see you."
"It will be a while before I go back."
"How long will it take?"
"It should be soon." Tao Chi's investigation seems to have progressed. They have been busy for a while, and I believe there will be results in a short time.
Before the bandit on the other side could speak, Xu Jun took out the money bag from his pocket again, "By the way, I still have some money here, you guys use it first."
Xu Jun stuffed the money bag into the arms of the bandit leader, with a bit of sympathy and resentment in his eyes.
Seeing Xu Jun like this, everyone was stunned again.
In Jingshan City, in the inn.
After Tao Chi entered the inn, sweating profusely, he went upstairs to find General Ghost Face.
After entering the door, before taking a breather, Tao Chi reported, "General, King Yi did collude with Xia You and tried to get Xia to send troops. We waited outside King Yi's mansion for a long time, waiting for the people from Xia to follow all the way. , took the opportunity to intercept their carrier pigeons, this is a copy."
The copy that Tao Chi handed over was a text message written in lower case letters. It is unknown what it refers to specifically, but the general idea is to let someone get ready, and the conditions here have been negotiated.
"We checked, and the carrier pigeon is used by Xia's army."
The army has a special way of sending messages. In addition to specific messengers, it will also raise some carrier pigeons with strong flying capabilities, so that once the battlefield changes, it can respond as quickly as possible.
"Send someone to keep an eye on that person." General Ghost Face said.
Such a letter alone can't explain anything. Even if they use this to accuse Jin Yi of colluding with the enemy and treason, Jin Yi can still find excuses to shirk.
"Yes."
"Is there anything else?" General Ghost Face looked at the hesitant Tao Chi.
Tao Chi has always been a person with great ability to handle affairs, it is rare to see him so hesitant, he only lived like this on one thing.
"What did you find?"
"There was a reply from the people in the palace that the matter of poisoning at the celebration banquet has come to an end."
"Say."
"On the eve of the celebration banquet, when the emperor summoned all his ministers to celebrate the general's achievements, it was King Yi's people who were responsible for the drinks at the banquet. The person in charge has been controlled by our people. According to the account, he received King Yi's order to mix the medicine in the into the drink."
Huali San is not a special medicine, its characteristic is that it has a long incubation time and is not easy to detect.
General Ghost Face was the last to go that day, and when he arrived, the people next to him served bowls, chopsticks and drinks alone.
It was the drink that was served at a different time from the others. After the banquet, the wine jar was destroyed along with the other wine jars, and naturally nothing was found.
"It has been determined that the person who signaled the poison was King Yi, and there is another thing..." Tao Chi didn't know how to say it.
"Say." The person under the mask seemed calm, but the fingers hanging around his waist were clenched tightly.
Tao Chi knelt down and lowered his head, "The subordinates of Hualisan have re-investigated, and although it does have the effect of making people confused and weak, as Zhuge Jin said, it also has the effect of oral medicine. Effectiveness will make people extremely talkative and loyal to their wishes."
After checking up to this point, Tao Chi understood almost immediately why General Ghost Face had been pursuing this matter after the celebration banquet. He always had a bad premonition.
It's just that he didn't dare to think about it any more, no matter what happened that night, it wasn't something he should know.
"What else?" Came a cold voice.
"When the Emperor Ye invited all his ministers to pour wine for the general, King Yi was overwhelmed with alcohol and became drunk halfway through the banquet. When he left the stage, our people were still drinking outside. If he hid in the house ahead of time, our people..."
002
"Enough!" The icy voice drank out the hostility surging in the chest of the person under the ghost's face.
Tao Chi didn't dare to speak, just knelt on the ground.
The white mask blocked the angry face of the person under the mask, but it couldn't hide the coldness in his eyes, let alone hide the killing intent emanating from him.
At that moment, the cold murderous aura pervading the room rushed towards Tao Chi like a tidal wave, firmly fettering his heart, preventing it from beating.
Even though this situation had already been expected, and even though it had already happened, at this moment, the person under the ghost's face still couldn't restrain the murderous intent and anger in his heart, as well as the constantly churning acid water and desire to vomit in his stomach.
At that moment, goosebumps almost stood up all over his body, and the disgusting feeling seemed to swim on his skin, making him wish he could peel off that layer of skin with a knife!
Just thinking of being such a disgusting person and doing such disgusting things to him, the person under the ghost's face can no longer restrain himself.
"roll!"
Tao Chi almost fled away.
As soon as he left, there was a sound of throwing things one after another in the house.
The biting killing intent seemed to follow Tao Chi's footsteps, until he went downstairs, he was still covered in cold sweat and his hands and feet were numb.
General Ghost Face became famous in a battle more than ten years ago, and now he holds 80 soldiers. He can really be said to be under one man and over ten thousand, but such a person is...
Tao Chi tried his best to control himself, not letting himself delve into this matter, or even thinking too much about it.
Some things are better if you don't know them, and if you know more, you will be killed.
Tao Chi left the inn quickly, but when he was about to leave, he thought of Xu Jun.
He glanced back at the inn behind him. Xu Jun didn't know where he was at the moment, and of course he couldn't appear in his sight.
But thinking of Xu Jun, Tao Chi's mood became inexplicably complicated.
Since Mr. Xu appeared, these lieutenants have clearly felt the change of General Ghost Face, and also vaguely noticed the ambiguity between the two of them.
Everyone has never discussed this matter. On the one hand, it is because of the prestige of General Ghost Face that they don't have the guts to gossip behind their backs. On the other hand, it is also because such things are too shocking.
A majestic seven-foot man, who doesn't like soft and delicate women, actually has a fondness for people who are also men.Even if that person was their general, the lieutenants would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.
But for some reason, Tao Chi thought of Xu Jun inexplicably at this moment.
If Mr. Xu is here, if Mr. Xu knows about this, there will be more complications.
Inside the ruined temple, Xu Jun sneezed hard.
He rubbed his nose, wondering who was scolding him.
After handing over the purse to the group of bandits, Xu Jun left all the snacks he bought, and said something nice to let everyone stay in an inn before leaving.
The group of bandits in the ruined temple looked at the purse in their hands and the snacks on the ground, while they were dazed for a long while before recovering from Xu Jun's concerned words.When they remembered that their purpose was to kidnap Xu Jun, Xu Jun had already fled away in a hurry.
Xu Jun ran all the way, and after making sure that the bandits couldn't keep up, he slowed down.
He walked towards Jingshan City. When he entered the city gate, a group of soldiers were searching for something, and it was very lively.
After entering the city, Xu Jun was about to go back to the inn when a man wearing a bamboo hat suddenly appeared beside him and dragged him into the alley.
Just as Xu Jun was about to speak, the person who dragged him to the alleyway had already covered his mouth.Just at this moment, a group of soldiers searched for the place Xu Jun had just passed by.
The group of soldiers seemed to be looking for someone, but they went all the way to the city after seeing no one.
When the group of people walked away, the person who caught Xu Jun into the alleyway took off his hat, revealing the face under the mask.
"master!"
Another person walked out of the alleyway, and that person was Zhuge Jin who had disappeared for a while.
"Why are you here?" Xu Jun looked at Chu Yiling and Zhuge Jin in front of him.
"We were attacked." Zhuge Jin looked outside the alleyway, and led the two of them into the alleyway, talking while walking.
"Master, are you alright?" Chu Yiling immediately became nervous when he heard that Xu Jun was attacked.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and Chu Yiling is indeed in a bit of a panic. The hem of his clothes seems to be still stained with blood, but it's been a while, and it's all dry.
"I'm fine, it's not my blood." Chu Yiling said.
"I said why don't you care about my health?" Zhuge Jin pointed at herself.
"Zhu Xiaojin, are you okay?"
"...Zhuge Jin, how many times do you have to tell me to remember?"
"Shut up, someone is coming." Chu Yiling stopped Zhuge Jin.
The three of them stopped, and a group of people hurried over in the alleyway in front of them.Those people's steps were heavy, and they sounded like soldiers in armor.
The three of them immediately headed towards the fence, turned over and entered a house next to the laneway, avoiding the search of those people.
After returning to the alleyway, Xu Jun quickly asked what happened.
"It's not your good master. The group of people who attacked him suddenly came after the first day of the game and said they wanted to chat with him. As soon as he heard about the identities of those people, he followed them. " Zhuge Jin seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
At that time, the two of them were walking towards the inn. After hearing about the identities of those people, Chu Yiling followed them outside the city.
Zhuge Jin was curious, so he kept following.
He was originally curious about what happened to Chu Yiling and these people, and even more curious about what those people were trying to do, but who knew that when he got there, Chu Yiling drew his sword and chopped them down, beating the group of people to pieces.
It was only after seeing this scene that Zhuge Jin realized that Chu Yiling obediently followed them because the baby apprentice was almost injured by this group of people, so he came here to find a place.
As far as Zhuge Jin was concerned, it wasn't too much trouble, so he followed Chu Yiling when he saw Chu Yiling make a move.Along the way, he had already suffered a lot because of this group of people's sneak attacks from time to time, and his stomach was suffocating.
The two of them were planning to teach this group of people a lesson before returning to the inn, but who knew that this group of people seemed to have been prepared for a long time, people kept coming out, and they couldn't kill them all.
Soon, the two were surrounded by the crowd.
At this time, they met Jin Yi.
Jin Yi's meaning was very simple, either Chu Yiling would submit to his subordinates and work for him, or die there.
Needless to say, Chu Yiling and Jin Yi had a falling out, and the two conspired to kill each other.
The two originally thought that they would be fine after breaking out of the siege and leaving there. Who would have thought that they would be surrounded by soldiers as soon as they entered the city.
After they rejected Jin Yi, the entire Jingshan City was covered with their notices saying that they attacked King Yi, so now soldiers are arresting them all over the city.
The two of them were concerned that they would bring trouble to other people, so they found an excuse for King Yi to attack, so they didn't go back to the inn. They planned to go to the inn to check the situation later, but who knew they saw Mr. Xu at the gate of the city.
"He probably jumped the wall in a hurry, and he can't care about anything else." Zhuge Jin smiled.
Embezzlement of disaster relief funds, and unauthorized diversion of dikes and dams have caused casualties in floods every year. If this matter is reported to the emperor, he will definitely be held accountable.
If it was replaced by other people to investigate this matter, he could still find a way to deal with it, but this time the ghost-faced general is a tough bone, he can't chew it.
Although the two of them didn't know what those deputy generals had investigated, they could also feel that Jin Yi was about to make a move. If he was stabbed by General Ghost Face at this time and everything fell short, wouldn't he be mad?
"Be careful yourself." Chu Yiling looked at Xu Jun.
Xu Jun responded softly, "Okay." He had to go back and tell the general about it.
"Actually, this Jin Yi is also pitiful." Zhuge Jin, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly felt emotional.
"Pitiful?"
"You don't know?" Zhuge Jin turned to look at Xu Jun.
Xu Jun shook his head, he knew about the seizure of the throne by the former emperor's sons, but because the Xu family was in the imperial court and held important positions, some things were more difficult to say than ordinary people, so he only knew a general idea, his father, My brother never mentioned it.
"At the beginning, the first emperor had more than ten sons. The most promising successors were Concubine Li's two sons, Jin Feng and Jin Yi. Besides, there was an eldest prince Jin Tai, and the rest of the princes were all worthless..."
After the first emperor got older, people in the court kept proposing to appoint a crown prince, but the Li family kept blocking it, because according to the situation at that time, the person who should be crowned crown prince was the first prince Jin Tai.
The Li family stopped it, and the eldest prince Jin Tai's people wanted to make a deal, so there was a lot of trouble, and even the common people were fond of talking about it.
There was no definite date for this matter, and it was delayed until the first emperor suddenly became seriously ill.
As soon as the first emperor fell, the dispute between the two parties immediately escalated to the situation of fighting in battle.
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the common people waited with bated breath. At this moment, Jin Qi, who had never been noticed, appeared with the imperial decree written by the late emperor himself.
In the name of the prince, the two parties were held criminally responsible for the crime of conspiracy to usurp the throne and treason.
The appearance of Jin Qi and the appearance of the imperial decree surprised everyone, but at that time both parties had prepared for the worst, so no one paid any attention to him who was powerless and powerless.
But what both parties never expected was that Xu Shangshu Xu Lan and his eldest son Xu Ming had already deployed nearly ten thousand elite soldiers in the palace and capital. As soon as the imperial decree came out, the soldiers took action and arrested everyone on both sides on the spot.
The members of the Li family rose up to resist, and the eldest son of the concubine Li, Jin Feng, was killed on the spot, and many other members of the Li family also died.
Jin Tai originally had troops outside the city, but the person who was supposed to carry the message for him had already been replaced by Xu Lan's people. When the news came out that the affairs in the palace had been settled, Jin Tai had already lost his head.
After this incident spread in Dayu, everyone was extremely surprised. Many people didn't even know who Jin Qi was, but it was such a person who won the championship in one fell swoop after more than ten years of keeping a low profile.
Things are set, but this thing is not over.
The first thing Jin Qi did after ascending the throne was to bestow the death of Concubine Li, the woman who had raised him for more than ten years and was nominally his mother.
"He killed a lot of people back then. Besides Concubine Li, Jin Feng, and Jin Tai, it was rumored that even the first emperor was poisoned by him." Zhuge Jin said the creepy words in a joking way. , "As soon as he ascended the throne, he killed his father and his mother, and all his brothers died in the following three years. Either it was an accident or poisoning. In short, everyone who could die died."
Xu Jun followed the two of them and walked forward in the quiet alleyway. He didn't know if it was because the alleyway was a bit gloomy or something, but he only felt a chill behind him.
But Zhuge Jin hadn't finished speaking, "Besides, those who supported Jin Tai and Concubine Li were all dead. Originally, the Li family was so powerful that even the first emperor didn't dare to confront them. Enemy, but now if you look at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who else is from the Li family?"
Xu Jun really doesn't know these things, he has heard that Jin Qi's methods are cruel, but it's just an impression.
Moreover, if Jin Qi is sincere and merciful in the matter of seizing the palace, it may not be possible.
"He is not as gentle as he appears on the surface, but he is indeed a good emperor. After he ascended the throne, he did a lot of construction for Dayu, so that the prosperity of Dayu's various industries made the country prosperous and the people safe."
"If you want to talk about this, you have to talk about your father Xu Lan. At the beginning, Jin Qi's seizure of the palace was almost designed by him, and the whole plan was seamless. Jin Qi was the one he chose, and he was also the one who assisted Jin Qi to secure the throne. So do you know what people in the world say about your father? They say he is No.1 in the world."
"Back then Jin Tai was arrogant, Jin Feng and Jin Yi had perverse personalities, and Jin Qi was cruel and ruthless. Jin Qi's succession was initially disliked by the public, but it turned out that Jin Qi was a good emperor."
"Your father Xu Lan assisted Jin Qi to secure the throne and then slowly handed over all military power. Now he is basically an idle person with no power in his hands, but it also prevents Jin Qi from taking action against your Xu family."
"Although he is in an important position now, he is doing idle clerical work. Even if Jin Qi has the heart, he can't find an excuse. Withholding his salary, you can't kill your mentor just because you remember something wrong, so how will the world think of him?"
"Do you know what people in the world say? They say that your father is smart and chose a good emperor for Dayu."
Xu Jun didn't speak, he didn't know if his father was the No.
Probably this 'No.1 in the world' is to blame.
003
The Xu family is indeed kind to Jinqi, but no matter how great the kindness is, it probably can't be worth the sentence of 'choose a good emperor for Dayu'.
Jin Qi is indeed a wise king, which can be seen from Dayu's current situation.
But if no matter how much Jin Qi did for Dayu, it would end up as "Xu Lan chose a good emperor for Dayu", then no emperor would be willing to kill him.
One year or two or not, but three or four years?
Maybe not in three or four years, but what about ten or fifteen years?
It has been nearly 15 years since Jin Qi seized the palace and ascended the throne at the age of sixteen or seventeen with the help of Xu Lan. Now he is in his thirties, that is to say, he has heard these words for nearly 15 years.
The three of them walked forward for a while before finally walking out of the alleyway.
At the end of the alleyway was a relatively remote street, and there were no people there. After the three of them came out, they immediately detoured towards the inn.
After coming out, Zhuge Jin stopped saying these things that counted as treasonous, and the two put on the bamboo hats, and went to the inn quietly with Xu Jun.
In the silence, Xu Jun remembered another thing.
Before Jin Yi said that he knew General Ghost Face more than ten years ago, could it be related to the seizure of the palace?
Jin Qi seized the palace and ascended the throne 15 years ago, and General Ghost Face appeared three or four years after he ascended the throne. It happened to be the critical moment when he was rectifying the imperial court and had no one in his hands, and took charge of the military power of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers for him.
Xu Jun didn't notice it before, but now that Zhuge Jin said so and counted the time, his heart is itching more and more, and he is more and more curious about the appearance under the mask.
After getting rid of those soldiers, the three of them quickly returned to the inn, but instead of entering through the front door, the three of them climbed over the wall from the backyard.
Back at the inn, the three of them went upstairs and met one of the lieutenants. Zhuge Jin immediately told them what had happened before.
Xu Jun went back to his room, pondered for a while, but failed to dispel the curiosity in his heart, he took out the rabbit cage, took out the rabbit to hold it, and trotted to the door of General Ghost Face.
After taking a deep breath in front of the door, he broke in without knocking.
As soon as he entered the door, he immediately looked at the face of the person in the room.
Xu Jun broke in, and the masked person in the room was startled, "What happened?"
Xu Jun held the rabbit in disappointment, "Why are you still wearing a mask in the room?"
General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun who looked disappointed, and then at the door that was suddenly knocked open, and immediately guessed that Xu Jun had come up with a new idea.
"Is something wrong?"
"miss you."
The heart of the person under the ghost face jumped suddenly, and his throat became extremely dry.
"It said so." Xu Jun handed the little rabbit he was holding in front of the ghost, and the little rabbit kicked his legs cooperatively.
The ghost-faced general's beating heart hadn't had time to recover, and a bitter taste was already oozing from his parched throat.
Xu Jun made a surprise attack and failed to see the face under the mask when he entered the house. After being disappointed for a while, he recovered and carried the little rabbit to the house to find another one.
After putting the two little rabbits together and letting the two little rabbits meet, Xu Jun also squatted beside him, petting one for a while and the other for a while.
General Ghost Face stood aside, quietly watching this scene.
He smashed almost all the things in the house in the afternoon, and just asked the shop assistant to replace them with new ones. If the things in the house are broken, they can be replaced or not, but once some things are broken, once they happen, there is no way to change them. recover.
In fact, this is also good, so that he can save so much thinking, and he doesn't have to worry about breaking his sleeves to go against the law of heaven. Anyway, he and this person will not have any results.
"Not yet?" After Xu Jun called out to the people next to him three times and failed to respond, he turned around, "What are you thinking?"
"What?" The man under the ghost's face put down the things in his hands and walked over.
Xu Jun, who was squatting on the ground, frowned and looked at him, pointed at a rabbit on the ground and blamed him: "You have starved it thin!"
General Ghost Face looked at the two fur balls on the ground. He looked back and forth several times but couldn't tell the difference, let alone which one was thinner.
"You take it back and feed it."
"Ok?"
"I might be too busy to take care of it." General Ghost Face turned his head to look at the wine that had just been put down on the table.
He didn't like or dislike this thing before, and he only thought of it as a tool for heating in winter, but now he likes it a little bit. The spicy feeling when drinking this thing makes him not have to think about some things for a moment.
When Xu Jun heard the words, he was overjoyed at first, and then looked over suspiciously.
This person snatched it from him before, why should he kindly return it to him now?
"Go back if you have nothing to do." General Ghost Face tightened his hand holding the jug.
"You forgot, it's already evening." Xu Jun was puzzled in his heart. Ever since the deputy generals taught him self-defense before this person took over, the two of them would practice for a while every day at this time.
As soon as Xu Jun mentioned it, General Ghost Face remembered.
The two went downstairs one after the other and went to the backyard of the inn.
At this time, most people were preparing their meals in front, but it was quiet here.
After arriving at the place, the two put on airs.
Xu Jun has been learning for some time, and he has mastered the simple self-defense methods. Coupled with the steps he learned from Zhuge Jin, the whole person is slippery, and even Tao Chi and the others may not be able to catch them. hold him.
Coupled with the fact that after meeting Chu Yiling some time ago, Chu Yiling, who is known as the best sword in the world, would occasionally help with tricks and give pointers, Xu Jun's escape skills can be said to be the pinnacle.
After putting on airs, Xu Jun looked serious, "Come on!"
The man under the ghost's face took a step forward and punched him. Almost at the same time, Xu Jun grabbed his arm, turned around and threw him over his shoulder.
Looking at the ghost-faced general who was easily thrown by him, Xu Jun helped him up and then asked strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
Although it is a sparring partner, General Ghost Face made him fall easily when he was practicing at the beginning, and it basically took some effort for him to catch him later, so as to achieve the purpose of practice.
"It's okay, continue."
Xu Jun is very talented, he learns things quickly and is very serious and hardworking. He is obviously afraid of the heat, but every time they don't stop him, he will never be too hot or tired.With talent and hard work, it won't take long for him to learn any new moves in style.
It's just that even so, it still needs a certain amount of practice, so every time Xu Jun is taught a new move, he will practice with Xu Jun for a while until he can master it.
In the past, he always looked forward to this matter, and he was equally concerned.Now he can't bear it.When two people practice hand-to-hand, skin-to-skin contact is unavoidable, let alone anticipation.
"From tomorrow onwards, you will practice with Tao Chi and the others. I will tell them to make time for them."
Xu Jun was slightly surprised, "What happened to you today?"
It was to return the rabbit to him, and to tell Tao Chi and the others. Isn't he with him?
"I'm going to be very busy going forward."
Xu Jun frowned slightly, "But I want to practice with you."
The ghost-faced general who had turned his back and was about to leave was stunned, he had never thought of the somewhat puzzled and angry words.
"I don't want to practice with Taozi, I just like to be with you." Xu Jun is upright, although Taozi and the others sometimes fight him together, but he likes to be with this person the most.
He likes it, he doesn't like it, and he never hides it.
"But I'm going to be busy going forward."
"That can be postponed." Xu Jun insisted.
He was a little dazed, this man was fine this morning, what's wrong?
Could it be that something happened to Jin Yi?Xu Jun only decided in an instant that he would hate Jin Yi even more.
The corners of the mouth of the person under the mask curled up, but the smile was filled with endless bitterness, "Jinyi has found some things, and the border may not be peaceful after a while, you can go home after this time, the military camp is not suitable you."
Hearing the last sentence, Xu Jun's eyes widened in disbelief.
He is not suitable for the barracks?Where is he not suitable for the barracks?
After he entered the camp, he did all the things in the accounting room properly, and he didn't go on a business trip in the management of food and grass. Why should this person let him go home because he said he was not suitable?
"Don't make any more jokes about getting married. If it spreads, it will make people laugh."
Xu Jun pursed his lips, his chest heaved rapidly, "That's not a joke, and you agreed!"
"I didn't agree, I just said I'm thinking about it." General Ghost Face turned his head, his eyes under the mask were cold and ruthless.Where he couldn't see under the mask, his face was pale at the moment.
If you like it, you like it. After experiencing those things in the past, he already understood this truth.
He likes Xu Jun. From the fresh memory when we first met, to the surprise when we saw each other, to the admiration in the camp, plus the time spent together day and night for such a long time, this feeling has only increased but not diminished. He controls.
But he couldn't let it continue, because he didn't deserve it, and because he was dirtier and more unsightly than Xu Jun imagined.
As long as Xu Jun leaves the military camp, he will surely forget about the camp in a short time, and will marry a gentle wife under the arrangement of his parents.
People like Xu Jun are pure and clean.Surely he would treat the girl well and be a good husband and father.
"I'm not leaving." Xu Jun was furious, he was really angry.
He really put his heart and effort into the matter of the military camp. He basically did everything by himself. Why can't he do it if this person says it's inappropriate?
"I'll tell your brother to pick you up."
"Don't go!"
"If you still want to be an accountant, you can go to your brother, he will definitely agree."
"If you don't go, you won't go!"
The person under the ghostly face turned his head sideways, Xu Jun's eyes were already red with anger, how could he still say those cruel words that he was going to say?
But he was far worse than Xu Jun knew, not just the celebration banquet, not just the blood on his hands, even his birth, even the blood that flowed from his body, was filthy.
Such him, such filth, how could Xu Jun be contaminated?
After the several lieutenants found out about the dike ledger, they were busy for several days, with almost no one in sight.
Not only them, even Chu Yiling and Zhuge Jin disappeared after that day.
Xu Jun lost interest after running to the competition venue for two days by himself, and instead stayed in the inn obediently.
Originally, his biggest task was to help manage food for disaster relief, but with his brother around, he basically didn't need to help with disaster relief, and now he has become an idler.
The martial arts competition gradually reached its climax with the passage of time. After the unattractive audition passed, most of the people who can still stand on the stage today are people with two brushes.
There are more and more tourists on the street, and there are more small vendors taking advantage of this opportunity to do small business than before.
Chu Yiling wasn't there, General Ghost Face was busy, and Xu Jun wasn't interested in the fights of those people, so he chose the time to go shopping in the street.
Before going out, he also hung the short knife given to him by the ghost-faced general before his waist.Although he seldom goes out, he also knows that he should pay more attention to safety when there is a large flow of people.
After making all the preparations, Xu Jun stood in front of the door and patted his chest to make sure that the ring was still there, the purse was in his pocket, and the short knife was hanging on his waist, so he opened the door and went out.
Jingshan City is huge, and there are several main streets alone.
Xu Jun chose one that sells more food, and ate it all the way along the street to the end of the street, until his stomach was so full that he couldn't eat anymore, he touched his stomach and prepared to go back satisfied.
Just as he was turning around, a few young men surrounded by sloppy young men.
"Young master, are you having fun?" The group of people had followed him all the way from the middle of the street.
Xu Jun's face is fair and well-behaved. Although his clothes are simple but the fabrics are of high quality, he looks like a young master who sneaked out of some compound.
"Hand over the things obediently, so that you will suffer less flesh and blood, and the brothers will also save some effort."
Xu Jun held the delicious food he bought and turned slightly to prevent these people from snatching his things.
The people next to him laughed when they saw this. People like Xu Jun are the best to attack. He is a little fat sheep and he has no guts.
Xu Jun retreated to the side, to the corner.
His eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the group of people in front of him curiously. Apart from the bandits in the mountains, he had never seen robbery since he grew up. So this is what robbery is like?
"Why are you so dazed, kid?"
"Hand over the money quickly."
Seeing Xu Jun not moving, several people were angry.
Just when everyone was about to make a move, a group of people suddenly surrounded them, a group of big men in capable short suits.
There were a lot of people in that group, there were about twenty people in total. After they lined up, they surrounded everyone including Mr. Xu.
"What are you doing?" The robbers turned their heads and felt a little ignorant when they saw the large number of people on the other side, but they still insisted: "Do you understand the rules? First come, first served."
A group of men in short clothes raised their eyebrows, first come first?
"Where did you get it from?" Get out of here!" The group of people afterward unceremoniously carried him and threw him out.
This group of people was full of banditry, those people were not opponents at all, after being thrown out, they only dared to jump on the spot, and turned around and ran away after a while.
The group of people ran away, but the group of men in smart short clothes all looked at Xu Jun covetously.
Xu Jun blinked innocently, looking at the group of familiar bandits in front of him, should he say thank you?
"Why are you here?" This group of people is the group of bandits in the mountains beyond their barracks.
Seeing Xu Jun's question, everyone's expressions were distorted.
why are they here
What else could they be for?Not for this guy? !
They had been guarding the city before, waiting for the opportunity to take Xu Jun up the mountain. Who knew that they had waited for a long time, only to find that Xu Jun had already left after the army had set off.
No one knows how long it will take for Xu Jun to go back, maybe it will take two or three months after he leaves.
The harvest season for red mushrooms is in summer. If Xu Jun waits for three months before going back, the red mushrooms in the mountains will already be out of season.
This year, Mr. Xu has tampered with the dishes again, so that they will not get much harvest in Dayu. If the red mushrooms are soaked in soup again, the winter days in the mountains will be sad.
After much deliberation, everyone decided to follow the group of deliverers to find someone here, but when they got here, they happened to meet the martial arts conference, and they went around here for a long time but couldn't find anyone.
"I'll go by myself!" Xu Jun, who had been robbed, was obediently taken out of the city gate and taken to a ruined temple outside the city.
This dilapidated temple has been around for some time, and there are almost only a few tiles left.
"You guys live here?" Xu Jun was surprised.
When this matter was mentioned, a group of bandits showed embarrassment. They brought some food and silver scraps when they came, but the cost of the journey was much more than they expected. In addition, they never found anyone. So the money I had with me had already been spent.
"I want you to take care of it!"
"This is for you." Xu Jun took out the snacks he was holding in his arms, "It's delicious."
Seeing the snacks offered by Xu Jun, all the gangsters who were originally aggressive were stunned for a moment.
Their original purpose of coming here was to tie this man back with evil intentions, but now that they saw Mr. Xu's appearance, they didn't know what to do.
Although they went up to the mountain to become bandits, they were not the kind of people who were really full of banditry. Most of them came to the mountain to beg for a living because they had nowhere to go.
On weekdays, although they always harassed the troops on both sides and the unscrupulous businessmen nearby, they never moved ordinary people or ordinary businessmen.
The reason why I insisted on looking for Jun Xu is because he knows red mushrooms very well and he is from Beijing. Maybe they will rely on his relationship to sell them later.
"It's delicious." Xu Jun passed the snacks forward again, and stuffed them into the arms of several bandits.
Seeing Xu Jun like this, the aggressive crowd softened for a while.
Although their purpose of coming here was to find Mr. Xu, it seemed that they didn't need to be so vicious.
"You don't need to be kind." The leading man looked at the bun in his arms, swallowed, and stuffed the bun back, "You come back with us, our boss wants to see you."
"It will be a while before I go back."
"How long will it take?"
"It should be soon." Tao Chi's investigation seems to have progressed. They have been busy for a while, and I believe there will be results in a short time.
Before the bandit on the other side could speak, Xu Jun took out the money bag from his pocket again, "By the way, I still have some money here, you guys use it first."
Xu Jun stuffed the money bag into the arms of the bandit leader, with a bit of sympathy and resentment in his eyes.
Seeing Xu Jun like this, everyone was stunned again.
In Jingshan City, in the inn.
After Tao Chi entered the inn, sweating profusely, he went upstairs to find General Ghost Face.
After entering the door, before taking a breather, Tao Chi reported, "General, King Yi did collude with Xia You and tried to get Xia to send troops. We waited outside King Yi's mansion for a long time, waiting for the people from Xia to follow all the way. , took the opportunity to intercept their carrier pigeons, this is a copy."
The copy that Tao Chi handed over was a text message written in lower case letters. It is unknown what it refers to specifically, but the general idea is to let someone get ready, and the conditions here have been negotiated.
"We checked, and the carrier pigeon is used by Xia's army."
The army has a special way of sending messages. In addition to specific messengers, it will also raise some carrier pigeons with strong flying capabilities, so that once the battlefield changes, it can respond as quickly as possible.
"Send someone to keep an eye on that person." General Ghost Face said.
Such a letter alone can't explain anything. Even if they use this to accuse Jin Yi of colluding with the enemy and treason, Jin Yi can still find excuses to shirk.
"Yes."
"Is there anything else?" General Ghost Face looked at the hesitant Tao Chi.
Tao Chi has always been a person with great ability to handle affairs, it is rare to see him so hesitant, he only lived like this on one thing.
"What did you find?"
"There was a reply from the people in the palace that the matter of poisoning at the celebration banquet has come to an end."
"Say."
"On the eve of the celebration banquet, when the emperor summoned all his ministers to celebrate the general's achievements, it was King Yi's people who were responsible for the drinks at the banquet. The person in charge has been controlled by our people. According to the account, he received King Yi's order to mix the medicine in the into the drink."
Huali San is not a special medicine, its characteristic is that it has a long incubation time and is not easy to detect.
General Ghost Face was the last to go that day, and when he arrived, the people next to him served bowls, chopsticks and drinks alone.
It was the drink that was served at a different time from the others. After the banquet, the wine jar was destroyed along with the other wine jars, and naturally nothing was found.
"It has been determined that the person who signaled the poison was King Yi, and there is another thing..." Tao Chi didn't know how to say it.
"Say." The person under the mask seemed calm, but the fingers hanging around his waist were clenched tightly.
Tao Chi knelt down and lowered his head, "The subordinates of Hualisan have re-investigated, and although it does have the effect of making people confused and weak, as Zhuge Jin said, it also has the effect of oral medicine. Effectiveness will make people extremely talkative and loyal to their wishes."
After checking up to this point, Tao Chi understood almost immediately why General Ghost Face had been pursuing this matter after the celebration banquet. He always had a bad premonition.
It's just that he didn't dare to think about it any more, no matter what happened that night, it wasn't something he should know.
"What else?" Came a cold voice.
"When the Emperor Ye invited all his ministers to pour wine for the general, King Yi was overwhelmed with alcohol and became drunk halfway through the banquet. When he left the stage, our people were still drinking outside. If he hid in the house ahead of time, our people..."
002
"Enough!" The icy voice drank out the hostility surging in the chest of the person under the ghost's face.
Tao Chi didn't dare to speak, just knelt on the ground.
The white mask blocked the angry face of the person under the mask, but it couldn't hide the coldness in his eyes, let alone hide the killing intent emanating from him.
At that moment, the cold murderous aura pervading the room rushed towards Tao Chi like a tidal wave, firmly fettering his heart, preventing it from beating.
Even though this situation had already been expected, and even though it had already happened, at this moment, the person under the ghost's face still couldn't restrain the murderous intent and anger in his heart, as well as the constantly churning acid water and desire to vomit in his stomach.
At that moment, goosebumps almost stood up all over his body, and the disgusting feeling seemed to swim on his skin, making him wish he could peel off that layer of skin with a knife!
Just thinking of being such a disgusting person and doing such disgusting things to him, the person under the ghost's face can no longer restrain himself.
"roll!"
Tao Chi almost fled away.
As soon as he left, there was a sound of throwing things one after another in the house.
The biting killing intent seemed to follow Tao Chi's footsteps, until he went downstairs, he was still covered in cold sweat and his hands and feet were numb.
General Ghost Face became famous in a battle more than ten years ago, and now he holds 80 soldiers. He can really be said to be under one man and over ten thousand, but such a person is...
Tao Chi tried his best to control himself, not letting himself delve into this matter, or even thinking too much about it.
Some things are better if you don't know them, and if you know more, you will be killed.
Tao Chi left the inn quickly, but when he was about to leave, he thought of Xu Jun.
He glanced back at the inn behind him. Xu Jun didn't know where he was at the moment, and of course he couldn't appear in his sight.
But thinking of Xu Jun, Tao Chi's mood became inexplicably complicated.
Since Mr. Xu appeared, these lieutenants have clearly felt the change of General Ghost Face, and also vaguely noticed the ambiguity between the two of them.
Everyone has never discussed this matter. On the one hand, it is because of the prestige of General Ghost Face that they don't have the guts to gossip behind their backs. On the other hand, it is also because such things are too shocking.
A majestic seven-foot man, who doesn't like soft and delicate women, actually has a fondness for people who are also men.Even if that person was their general, the lieutenants would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.
But for some reason, Tao Chi thought of Xu Jun inexplicably at this moment.
If Mr. Xu is here, if Mr. Xu knows about this, there will be more complications.
Inside the ruined temple, Xu Jun sneezed hard.
He rubbed his nose, wondering who was scolding him.
After handing over the purse to the group of bandits, Xu Jun left all the snacks he bought, and said something nice to let everyone stay in an inn before leaving.
The group of bandits in the ruined temple looked at the purse in their hands and the snacks on the ground, while they were dazed for a long while before recovering from Xu Jun's concerned words.When they remembered that their purpose was to kidnap Xu Jun, Xu Jun had already fled away in a hurry.
Xu Jun ran all the way, and after making sure that the bandits couldn't keep up, he slowed down.
He walked towards Jingshan City. When he entered the city gate, a group of soldiers were searching for something, and it was very lively.
After entering the city, Xu Jun was about to go back to the inn when a man wearing a bamboo hat suddenly appeared beside him and dragged him into the alley.
Just as Xu Jun was about to speak, the person who dragged him to the alleyway had already covered his mouth.Just at this moment, a group of soldiers searched for the place Xu Jun had just passed by.
The group of soldiers seemed to be looking for someone, but they went all the way to the city after seeing no one.
When the group of people walked away, the person who caught Xu Jun into the alleyway took off his hat, revealing the face under the mask.
"master!"
Another person walked out of the alleyway, and that person was Zhuge Jin who had disappeared for a while.
"Why are you here?" Xu Jun looked at Chu Yiling and Zhuge Jin in front of him.
"We were attacked." Zhuge Jin looked outside the alleyway, and led the two of them into the alleyway, talking while walking.
"Master, are you alright?" Chu Yiling immediately became nervous when he heard that Xu Jun was attacked.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and Chu Yiling is indeed in a bit of a panic. The hem of his clothes seems to be still stained with blood, but it's been a while, and it's all dry.
"I'm fine, it's not my blood." Chu Yiling said.
"I said why don't you care about my health?" Zhuge Jin pointed at herself.
"Zhu Xiaojin, are you okay?"
"...Zhuge Jin, how many times do you have to tell me to remember?"
"Shut up, someone is coming." Chu Yiling stopped Zhuge Jin.
The three of them stopped, and a group of people hurried over in the alleyway in front of them.Those people's steps were heavy, and they sounded like soldiers in armor.
The three of them immediately headed towards the fence, turned over and entered a house next to the laneway, avoiding the search of those people.
After returning to the alleyway, Xu Jun quickly asked what happened.
"It's not your good master. The group of people who attacked him suddenly came after the first day of the game and said they wanted to chat with him. As soon as he heard about the identities of those people, he followed them. " Zhuge Jin seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
At that time, the two of them were walking towards the inn. After hearing about the identities of those people, Chu Yiling followed them outside the city.
Zhuge Jin was curious, so he kept following.
He was originally curious about what happened to Chu Yiling and these people, and even more curious about what those people were trying to do, but who knew that when he got there, Chu Yiling drew his sword and chopped them down, beating the group of people to pieces.
It was only after seeing this scene that Zhuge Jin realized that Chu Yiling obediently followed them because the baby apprentice was almost injured by this group of people, so he came here to find a place.
As far as Zhuge Jin was concerned, it wasn't too much trouble, so he followed Chu Yiling when he saw Chu Yiling make a move.Along the way, he had already suffered a lot because of this group of people's sneak attacks from time to time, and his stomach was suffocating.
The two of them were planning to teach this group of people a lesson before returning to the inn, but who knew that this group of people seemed to have been prepared for a long time, people kept coming out, and they couldn't kill them all.
Soon, the two were surrounded by the crowd.
At this time, they met Jin Yi.
Jin Yi's meaning was very simple, either Chu Yiling would submit to his subordinates and work for him, or die there.
Needless to say, Chu Yiling and Jin Yi had a falling out, and the two conspired to kill each other.
The two originally thought that they would be fine after breaking out of the siege and leaving there. Who would have thought that they would be surrounded by soldiers as soon as they entered the city.
After they rejected Jin Yi, the entire Jingshan City was covered with their notices saying that they attacked King Yi, so now soldiers are arresting them all over the city.
The two of them were concerned that they would bring trouble to other people, so they found an excuse for King Yi to attack, so they didn't go back to the inn. They planned to go to the inn to check the situation later, but who knew they saw Mr. Xu at the gate of the city.
"He probably jumped the wall in a hurry, and he can't care about anything else." Zhuge Jin smiled.
Embezzlement of disaster relief funds, and unauthorized diversion of dikes and dams have caused casualties in floods every year. If this matter is reported to the emperor, he will definitely be held accountable.
If it was replaced by other people to investigate this matter, he could still find a way to deal with it, but this time the ghost-faced general is a tough bone, he can't chew it.
Although the two of them didn't know what those deputy generals had investigated, they could also feel that Jin Yi was about to make a move. If he was stabbed by General Ghost Face at this time and everything fell short, wouldn't he be mad?
"Be careful yourself." Chu Yiling looked at Xu Jun.
Xu Jun responded softly, "Okay." He had to go back and tell the general about it.
"Actually, this Jin Yi is also pitiful." Zhuge Jin, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly felt emotional.
"Pitiful?"
"You don't know?" Zhuge Jin turned to look at Xu Jun.
Xu Jun shook his head, he knew about the seizure of the throne by the former emperor's sons, but because the Xu family was in the imperial court and held important positions, some things were more difficult to say than ordinary people, so he only knew a general idea, his father, My brother never mentioned it.
"At the beginning, the first emperor had more than ten sons. The most promising successors were Concubine Li's two sons, Jin Feng and Jin Yi. Besides, there was an eldest prince Jin Tai, and the rest of the princes were all worthless..."
After the first emperor got older, people in the court kept proposing to appoint a crown prince, but the Li family kept blocking it, because according to the situation at that time, the person who should be crowned crown prince was the first prince Jin Tai.
The Li family stopped it, and the eldest prince Jin Tai's people wanted to make a deal, so there was a lot of trouble, and even the common people were fond of talking about it.
There was no definite date for this matter, and it was delayed until the first emperor suddenly became seriously ill.
As soon as the first emperor fell, the dispute between the two parties immediately escalated to the situation of fighting in battle.
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the common people waited with bated breath. At this moment, Jin Qi, who had never been noticed, appeared with the imperial decree written by the late emperor himself.
In the name of the prince, the two parties were held criminally responsible for the crime of conspiracy to usurp the throne and treason.
The appearance of Jin Qi and the appearance of the imperial decree surprised everyone, but at that time both parties had prepared for the worst, so no one paid any attention to him who was powerless and powerless.
But what both parties never expected was that Xu Shangshu Xu Lan and his eldest son Xu Ming had already deployed nearly ten thousand elite soldiers in the palace and capital. As soon as the imperial decree came out, the soldiers took action and arrested everyone on both sides on the spot.
The members of the Li family rose up to resist, and the eldest son of the concubine Li, Jin Feng, was killed on the spot, and many other members of the Li family also died.
Jin Tai originally had troops outside the city, but the person who was supposed to carry the message for him had already been replaced by Xu Lan's people. When the news came out that the affairs in the palace had been settled, Jin Tai had already lost his head.
After this incident spread in Dayu, everyone was extremely surprised. Many people didn't even know who Jin Qi was, but it was such a person who won the championship in one fell swoop after more than ten years of keeping a low profile.
Things are set, but this thing is not over.
The first thing Jin Qi did after ascending the throne was to bestow the death of Concubine Li, the woman who had raised him for more than ten years and was nominally his mother.
"He killed a lot of people back then. Besides Concubine Li, Jin Feng, and Jin Tai, it was rumored that even the first emperor was poisoned by him." Zhuge Jin said the creepy words in a joking way. , "As soon as he ascended the throne, he killed his father and his mother, and all his brothers died in the following three years. Either it was an accident or poisoning. In short, everyone who could die died."
Xu Jun followed the two of them and walked forward in the quiet alleyway. He didn't know if it was because the alleyway was a bit gloomy or something, but he only felt a chill behind him.
But Zhuge Jin hadn't finished speaking, "Besides, those who supported Jin Tai and Concubine Li were all dead. Originally, the Li family was so powerful that even the first emperor didn't dare to confront them. Enemy, but now if you look at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who else is from the Li family?"
Xu Jun really doesn't know these things, he has heard that Jin Qi's methods are cruel, but it's just an impression.
Moreover, if Jin Qi is sincere and merciful in the matter of seizing the palace, it may not be possible.
"He is not as gentle as he appears on the surface, but he is indeed a good emperor. After he ascended the throne, he did a lot of construction for Dayu, so that the prosperity of Dayu's various industries made the country prosperous and the people safe."
"If you want to talk about this, you have to talk about your father Xu Lan. At the beginning, Jin Qi's seizure of the palace was almost designed by him, and the whole plan was seamless. Jin Qi was the one he chose, and he was also the one who assisted Jin Qi to secure the throne. So do you know what people in the world say about your father? They say he is No.1 in the world."
"Back then Jin Tai was arrogant, Jin Feng and Jin Yi had perverse personalities, and Jin Qi was cruel and ruthless. Jin Qi's succession was initially disliked by the public, but it turned out that Jin Qi was a good emperor."
"Your father Xu Lan assisted Jin Qi to secure the throne and then slowly handed over all military power. Now he is basically an idle person with no power in his hands, but it also prevents Jin Qi from taking action against your Xu family."
"Although he is in an important position now, he is doing idle clerical work. Even if Jin Qi has the heart, he can't find an excuse. Withholding his salary, you can't kill your mentor just because you remember something wrong, so how will the world think of him?"
"Do you know what people in the world say? They say that your father is smart and chose a good emperor for Dayu."
Xu Jun didn't speak, he didn't know if his father was the No.
Probably this 'No.1 in the world' is to blame.
003
The Xu family is indeed kind to Jinqi, but no matter how great the kindness is, it probably can't be worth the sentence of 'choose a good emperor for Dayu'.
Jin Qi is indeed a wise king, which can be seen from Dayu's current situation.
But if no matter how much Jin Qi did for Dayu, it would end up as "Xu Lan chose a good emperor for Dayu", then no emperor would be willing to kill him.
One year or two or not, but three or four years?
Maybe not in three or four years, but what about ten or fifteen years?
It has been nearly 15 years since Jin Qi seized the palace and ascended the throne at the age of sixteen or seventeen with the help of Xu Lan. Now he is in his thirties, that is to say, he has heard these words for nearly 15 years.
The three of them walked forward for a while before finally walking out of the alleyway.
At the end of the alleyway was a relatively remote street, and there were no people there. After the three of them came out, they immediately detoured towards the inn.
After coming out, Zhuge Jin stopped saying these things that counted as treasonous, and the two put on the bamboo hats, and went to the inn quietly with Xu Jun.
In the silence, Xu Jun remembered another thing.
Before Jin Yi said that he knew General Ghost Face more than ten years ago, could it be related to the seizure of the palace?
Jin Qi seized the palace and ascended the throne 15 years ago, and General Ghost Face appeared three or four years after he ascended the throne. It happened to be the critical moment when he was rectifying the imperial court and had no one in his hands, and took charge of the military power of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers for him.
Xu Jun didn't notice it before, but now that Zhuge Jin said so and counted the time, his heart is itching more and more, and he is more and more curious about the appearance under the mask.
After getting rid of those soldiers, the three of them quickly returned to the inn, but instead of entering through the front door, the three of them climbed over the wall from the backyard.
Back at the inn, the three of them went upstairs and met one of the lieutenants. Zhuge Jin immediately told them what had happened before.
Xu Jun went back to his room, pondered for a while, but failed to dispel the curiosity in his heart, he took out the rabbit cage, took out the rabbit to hold it, and trotted to the door of General Ghost Face.
After taking a deep breath in front of the door, he broke in without knocking.
As soon as he entered the door, he immediately looked at the face of the person in the room.
Xu Jun broke in, and the masked person in the room was startled, "What happened?"
Xu Jun held the rabbit in disappointment, "Why are you still wearing a mask in the room?"
General Ghost Face looked at Xu Jun who looked disappointed, and then at the door that was suddenly knocked open, and immediately guessed that Xu Jun had come up with a new idea.
"Is something wrong?"
"miss you."
The heart of the person under the ghost face jumped suddenly, and his throat became extremely dry.
"It said so." Xu Jun handed the little rabbit he was holding in front of the ghost, and the little rabbit kicked his legs cooperatively.
The ghost-faced general's beating heart hadn't had time to recover, and a bitter taste was already oozing from his parched throat.
Xu Jun made a surprise attack and failed to see the face under the mask when he entered the house. After being disappointed for a while, he recovered and carried the little rabbit to the house to find another one.
After putting the two little rabbits together and letting the two little rabbits meet, Xu Jun also squatted beside him, petting one for a while and the other for a while.
General Ghost Face stood aside, quietly watching this scene.
He smashed almost all the things in the house in the afternoon, and just asked the shop assistant to replace them with new ones. If the things in the house are broken, they can be replaced or not, but once some things are broken, once they happen, there is no way to change them. recover.
In fact, this is also good, so that he can save so much thinking, and he doesn't have to worry about breaking his sleeves to go against the law of heaven. Anyway, he and this person will not have any results.
"Not yet?" After Xu Jun called out to the people next to him three times and failed to respond, he turned around, "What are you thinking?"
"What?" The man under the ghost's face put down the things in his hands and walked over.
Xu Jun, who was squatting on the ground, frowned and looked at him, pointed at a rabbit on the ground and blamed him: "You have starved it thin!"
General Ghost Face looked at the two fur balls on the ground. He looked back and forth several times but couldn't tell the difference, let alone which one was thinner.
"You take it back and feed it."
"Ok?"
"I might be too busy to take care of it." General Ghost Face turned his head to look at the wine that had just been put down on the table.
He didn't like or dislike this thing before, and he only thought of it as a tool for heating in winter, but now he likes it a little bit. The spicy feeling when drinking this thing makes him not have to think about some things for a moment.
When Xu Jun heard the words, he was overjoyed at first, and then looked over suspiciously.
This person snatched it from him before, why should he kindly return it to him now?
"Go back if you have nothing to do." General Ghost Face tightened his hand holding the jug.
"You forgot, it's already evening." Xu Jun was puzzled in his heart. Ever since the deputy generals taught him self-defense before this person took over, the two of them would practice for a while every day at this time.
As soon as Xu Jun mentioned it, General Ghost Face remembered.
The two went downstairs one after the other and went to the backyard of the inn.
At this time, most people were preparing their meals in front, but it was quiet here.
After arriving at the place, the two put on airs.
Xu Jun has been learning for some time, and he has mastered the simple self-defense methods. Coupled with the steps he learned from Zhuge Jin, the whole person is slippery, and even Tao Chi and the others may not be able to catch them. hold him.
Coupled with the fact that after meeting Chu Yiling some time ago, Chu Yiling, who is known as the best sword in the world, would occasionally help with tricks and give pointers, Xu Jun's escape skills can be said to be the pinnacle.
After putting on airs, Xu Jun looked serious, "Come on!"
The man under the ghost's face took a step forward and punched him. Almost at the same time, Xu Jun grabbed his arm, turned around and threw him over his shoulder.
Looking at the ghost-faced general who was easily thrown by him, Xu Jun helped him up and then asked strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
Although it is a sparring partner, General Ghost Face made him fall easily when he was practicing at the beginning, and it basically took some effort for him to catch him later, so as to achieve the purpose of practice.
"It's okay, continue."
Xu Jun is very talented, he learns things quickly and is very serious and hardworking. He is obviously afraid of the heat, but every time they don't stop him, he will never be too hot or tired.With talent and hard work, it won't take long for him to learn any new moves in style.
It's just that even so, it still needs a certain amount of practice, so every time Xu Jun is taught a new move, he will practice with Xu Jun for a while until he can master it.
In the past, he always looked forward to this matter, and he was equally concerned.Now he can't bear it.When two people practice hand-to-hand, skin-to-skin contact is unavoidable, let alone anticipation.
"From tomorrow onwards, you will practice with Tao Chi and the others. I will tell them to make time for them."
Xu Jun was slightly surprised, "What happened to you today?"
It was to return the rabbit to him, and to tell Tao Chi and the others. Isn't he with him?
"I'm going to be very busy going forward."
Xu Jun frowned slightly, "But I want to practice with you."
The ghost-faced general who had turned his back and was about to leave was stunned, he had never thought of the somewhat puzzled and angry words.
"I don't want to practice with Taozi, I just like to be with you." Xu Jun is upright, although Taozi and the others sometimes fight him together, but he likes to be with this person the most.
He likes it, he doesn't like it, and he never hides it.
"But I'm going to be busy going forward."
"That can be postponed." Xu Jun insisted.
He was a little dazed, this man was fine this morning, what's wrong?
Could it be that something happened to Jin Yi?Xu Jun only decided in an instant that he would hate Jin Yi even more.
The corners of the mouth of the person under the mask curled up, but the smile was filled with endless bitterness, "Jinyi has found some things, and the border may not be peaceful after a while, you can go home after this time, the military camp is not suitable you."
Hearing the last sentence, Xu Jun's eyes widened in disbelief.
He is not suitable for the barracks?Where is he not suitable for the barracks?
After he entered the camp, he did all the things in the accounting room properly, and he didn't go on a business trip in the management of food and grass. Why should this person let him go home because he said he was not suitable?
"Don't make any more jokes about getting married. If it spreads, it will make people laugh."
Xu Jun pursed his lips, his chest heaved rapidly, "That's not a joke, and you agreed!"
"I didn't agree, I just said I'm thinking about it." General Ghost Face turned his head, his eyes under the mask were cold and ruthless.Where he couldn't see under the mask, his face was pale at the moment.
If you like it, you like it. After experiencing those things in the past, he already understood this truth.
He likes Xu Jun. From the fresh memory when we first met, to the surprise when we saw each other, to the admiration in the camp, plus the time spent together day and night for such a long time, this feeling has only increased but not diminished. He controls.
But he couldn't let it continue, because he didn't deserve it, and because he was dirtier and more unsightly than Xu Jun imagined.
As long as Xu Jun leaves the military camp, he will surely forget about the camp in a short time, and will marry a gentle wife under the arrangement of his parents.
People like Xu Jun are pure and clean.Surely he would treat the girl well and be a good husband and father.
"I'm not leaving." Xu Jun was furious, he was really angry.
He really put his heart and effort into the matter of the military camp. He basically did everything by himself. Why can't he do it if this person says it's inappropriate?
"I'll tell your brother to pick you up."
"Don't go!"
"If you still want to be an accountant, you can go to your brother, he will definitely agree."
"If you don't go, you won't go!"
The person under the ghostly face turned his head sideways, Xu Jun's eyes were already red with anger, how could he still say those cruel words that he was going to say?
But he was far worse than Xu Jun knew, not just the celebration banquet, not just the blood on his hands, even his birth, even the blood that flowed from his body, was filthy.
Such him, such filth, how could Xu Jun be contaminated?
