After counting the time, Shu Qing should be here too. After Shang Jun finished the dishes, he walked back to the front hall and saw Qin Xiuzhi holding a folding fan, looking seriously. "Why don't you rest for a while?"
"I can't sleep during the day, my hand is just a small injury." Shaking the folding fan in his hand, Qin Xiuzhi asked, "Is this your inscription?"
Shang Jun glanced at it and replied, "Well." I don't remember when I wrote it.
"There are a thousand tears in the bamboo, and the mist and rain in the Xiangjiang River do not know the spring." On the fan surface, there are two small lines of running script, the handwriting is powerful, the brush is skillful, the fortitude is a little graceful, handsome and unrestrained, with a few ink bamboo leaves on the screen, With just a few strokes, a scene of misty and rainy bamboo forests popped up in front of my eyes. Qin Xiuzhi praised: "Poems are good, words are better."
Shang Jun is funny, when it comes to words, Shu Qing's words are better. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Zhong walked in with a smile on his face and said, "Master, Lang Yue has already brought Miss Shu Qing to the estate, and she is accompanied by four men."
"Yeah." Shu Qing really brought Xuanyuan Yi and the others here. Although he didn't know what she was thinking, Shang Jun was still very happy to see Shu Qing, and after hearing Yang Zhong's words, he hurried out to greet him.
Qin Xiuzhi looked at the back of Shang Jun hurriedly rushing out, and the foot that was about to go out was retracted, so he didn't go to join in the fun, Shu Qing only wanted to see Shang Jun.
Qin Xiuzhi stared at the fan face blankly, but he was not appreciating it, and his mind had drifted to somewhere. It wasn't until Shang Xiao hugged Murong Shuqing and walked into the hall with a smile that Qin Xiuzhi raised his head. Behind Shu Qing, there were several men, Xuanyuanyi he had seen before. Xiuzhi nodded slightly towards him. Xuanyuan Yi's deep eyes looked at him coldly for a while, before nodding lightly as a return gift. Xuanyuan Yi's rudeness was not taken seriously, and he greeted Murong Shuqing with a smile, "Shu Qing."
"Xiuzhi, are you still here?" Murong Shuqing walked up to him with a smile, glanced at the fan in his hand, it was the word inscribed by Shang Jun, both of them were elegant people, no wonder they agreed so much. Murong Shuqing bowed and saluted, "I'm still thinking about how I can find you again, but I haven't thanked you properly." Indeed, he should be thanked. If it wasn't for her, she might have died, or lost freedom.
Qin Xiuzhi got up quickly, supported Murong Shuqing's arm, and sighed, "You don't have to be so polite with me." If it weren't for her, he might not have seen the Empress, nor would he have gotten to know someone like Shang Jun. Say thank you, it should be him thanking her.
"Okay, everyone, take your seats." Shang Jun looked at the two with a funny look, holding Qin Xiuzhi with one hand and Murong Shuqing with the other, and brought them to the main table. Shang Jun looked at Xuanyuan Yi, who had been expressionless since entering the village, cupped his hands and smiled, "I've heard the name of General Xuanyuan for a long time, please take a seat."
Xuanyuan Yi also bowed his hands politely and replied, "The owner of the village is polite." But his eyes kept lingering on Shu Qing, Shang Jun and the man named Qin Xiuzhi. He recognized him as the man who sent Shu Qing to the military camp. The three of them People have known each other for a long time, so what is their relationship? Qinger, you- owe me a lot of explanation.
Murong Shuqing felt Xuanyuan Yi's scorching gaze, and looked at him calmly, still with that faint smile, but somehow calmed Xuanyuan Yi's heart, well, he waited for her explanation.
The other people accompanying him were dumbfounded. They had just recovered from the beauty of Shang Junjun's beauty. They did not expect that in the main house, there was such a gentle and graceful man, even the unruly young lady. , looks like a hibiscus and a peony. Could it be that this Misty Mountain Villa has outstanding people, and all these fairy-like characters come out
"Langyue, I ordered the kitchen to serve food." Shang Jun raised his glass and said aloud, "It's rare that Misty Villa is so lively today, Shang Jun toasts everyone."
The master has raised his glass, and everyone raised the glass in response. After one sip, Pei Che politely cupped his hands and said, "The owner of the merchant is polite! We are the one who interrupted!"
"I don't want to leave if I know it's disturbing!" It was originally just a greeting, but Shang Xiao's words were neither salty nor light, neither light nor heavy, but the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became awkward.
Li Ming wanted to attack first, but the business lady was a little too deceiving, but Pei Che lightly kicked him under the table, causing him to swallow his words. Pei Che was also very puzzled along the way. He really didn't know the girl, let alone offended him. Could there be some misunderstanding? Pei Che got up and bowed to Shang Xiao before asking, "Miss Shang, I don't know where to offend Miss? Is there any misunderstanding?"
Shang Xiao played with the cup in his hand, raised a sweet smile, and replied lazily, "Misunderstanding? No." How could it be a misunderstanding? She thought too much about Sister Shu Qing two days ago, and wanted to see her in the military camp. Even if she met this god of plague, if it weren't for him, she would have met Sister Shu Qing without knowing it, and she would not have been rescued by her embarrassingly, so I wouldn't say anything about spraining her hand, and even causing her to be fined and grounded. cemetery. Now that I see him again, there is no retribution!
Pei Che was startled, her beautiful eyes, it turned out that when she smiled, she was so cute. Pei Che continued to ask, "Then why is the lady so unkind to me?"
Shang Xiao restrained his smile, with a ruthless expression on his face.
Unexpectedly, she would answer like this, and the people at the table were stunned, not knowing what to say. Especially Pei Che, it's not like standing and laughing, neither is sitting down. Xuanyuan Yi raised the corners of his mouth gloatingly, and finally someone agreed with him. Li Ming lowered his head and drank water fiercely. He also wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Pei Che, so he had to endure it hard.
However, Shu Qing didn't want to bear it, so he chuckled happily. It turned out that this fox also had a time when it was shriveled!
Such a scene really made Pei Che unable to step down. Although Shang Jun also found it very interesting, as the host, he still shouted to Shang Xiao: "Xiaoer!"
Guessing that eldest brother won't blame her, Shang smiled and pouted, too lazy to look at Pei Che again.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was not relaxed, Shang Jun chatted with Murong Shuqing and Qin Xiuzhi from time to time, as if Xuanyuanyi and the others did not exist. Li Ming was unhappy. They came here to talk about business, not to accompany them to eat and drink. With this time, it would be better to kill the enemy on the battlefield. Li Ming put down his chopsticks and said straightforwardly to Shang Jun: "Shang Zhuangzhu, we are here to ask for something."
Shang Jun also put down the wine glass and asked elegantly, "I don't know what Shang can do?"
He is willing to take up this conversation, so there is still hope. Maybe Li Ming's mistake can be successful. Pei Che and Xuanyuan Yi looked at each other without saying a word, letting Li Ming and Shang Jun deal with each other.
Li Ming knew that he had to seize the opportunity, so he quickly said: "What kind of battle Cang Yue has set up is very evil. Our army would like to ask the village master to help break the battle."
Shang Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Shang is just a businessman, I think the general is looking for the wrong person." He looked at Shu Qing without a trace, and saw that she was eating happily with her head down, looking unconcerned.
"Don't be humble, Lord of the Shangzhuang. The battle around the villa is very powerful. If you are willing to break the battle, you won't be able to capture it." Although Li Ming also felt that this Shangjun had no ability, but the strategist said he could do it, so let's give it to him first. He poured some fan soup to see if he agreed or not.
But Shang Jun didn't like his tricks, he still smiled humbly: "The general is wrong, those are just little tricks to protect the village, and it's hard to be elegant."
"But-"
Although Shang Jun's remarks are self-deprecating, in fact, he has clearly rejected their proposal. If they are interested, they should exchange a few words at this time and bring up this topic, but the purpose of their visit this time is to break the battle. Legally, he must be persuaded. Afraid that Li Ming would offend Shang Jun with his words, Pei Che pulled on Li Ming's shirt and motioned him not to say any more.
Pei Che got up, held a wine glass in his hand, and drank all the wine in the glass, before he said eloquently, "Shangzhuang lord, I believe that you have heard about the battle between Dongyu and Cangyue. Our army fought in self-defense. The ambition to seize the city and plunder the country, if Cang Yue wins, there will be continuous wars. Then the people of the two countries will suffer from the war, and it will also have a great impact on the business of Guizhuang. It will be a blessing for the people to end this war." Rumor has it that Misty Mountain Villa often sends food and clothing to poor people, hoping to impress him with the people.
Shang Jun's smiling face gradually darkened, did he use the common people to threaten him? He is not a saint, he thinks that he can help the world at the same time. Shang Jun also picked up the wine glass, but he did not drink it all, but sipped the wine carefully, until the wine in the glass was empty, and then he replied loudly: "Xiao Mi Villa stands at the border of the two countries, just do business, not politics. , It is the responsibility of the generals to protect the family and the country, and kill the enemy on the battlefield!"
This sentence of responsibility made Pei Che speechless for a moment, but Li Ming couldn't help shouting, "Why are you so unconscionable!"
Li Ming's clamor made Shang Jun's bad face even more hazy, and his obvious refusal obviously prevented Xuanyuan Yi and the others from coming down the stage. For a time, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more depressing and tense.
"Ah—" Murong Shuqing's soft cry broke the tense atmosphere in an instant. Everyone turned to look at her, only to see a maid standing nervously with a bowl of soup in her hand.
The maid was a little overwhelmed, she remembered that she just touched Miss Shu Qing lightly, there should be no burns or bruises. Although I didn't know what was going on, I knew that Miss Shu Qing was a guest of the owner, so she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Shu Qing."
Shang Xiao also nervously supported Murong Shuqing and asked, "Sister Shuqing, are you all right?"
Shu Qing covered her injured left shoulder and frowned slightly, looking very painful. She had to apologize to the maid in her heart. In the atmosphere just now, it was useless to talk about it any longer. It happened that she accidentally bumped into her shoulder, and she also pretended to have an old injury.
Shang Jun immediately walked to Murong Shuqing's side and asked, "I heard that you were injured last time, are you okay?" According to what he saw last time, her injury should not be a serious problem!
Qin Xiuzhi also said worriedly: "Shu Qing, do you want to ask the doctor to show you?" Only he knew how dangerous that arrow was at that time.
Murong Shuqing shook her head with a smile, and replied, "Well, it's fine." Today, after sitting in the carriage for an hour, although her shoulders hurt a bit, it wasn't that serious. She just didn't want to make them quarrel before she cried out.
"Xiao'er, help Qing to Qingfeng Pavilion." Shang Jun ignored all this, cupped his hands to everyone, and said, "Everyone, please take your time, Shang must leave first." He helped Murong Shuqing into the backyard.
Did her wound open again? Xuanyuan Yi stood up and wanted to follow him, but Pei Che grabbed his sleeve. Pei Che shook his head silently at him. In the current situation, he had better not follow him. Xuanyuan Yi paused for a while, then sat down and poured a large glass of wine, his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
There was also Qin Xiuzhi who was secretly hurting himself. A depressed mood made him panic, but what was he depressed about! Is it because Shang Jun is guarding Shu Qing, or is it only Shu Qing in the eyes of Shang Jun? Omg! His mind was really messed up, what kind of feelings did he have for Shu Qing, and what did he think about Shang Jun! Thinking of that handsome face, Qin Xiuzhi was slowly trapped by the more and more obvious affection in his heart.
Shang Jun and Shu Qing were talking in Qingfeng Pavilion, Shang Xiao saw that Shu Qing hadn't eaten anything all night, and was going to the kitchen to bring her a bowl of chicken soup.
Walking on the Thorn Ji Flower Road, Shang Xiao saw a tall and tall figure of ink green, and in the cold wind, his back almost merged into the coquettish sea of flowers. Shang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, saw the man's profile clearly, walked up to him slowly, and said with a smile, "Brother Qin, are you still going to sleep so late?"
Qin Xiuzhi regained his senses, smiled and replied, "I'm not tired, just walk around. Is Shu Qing's injury better?" fidgeting.
"My brother is with her, don't worry, it's fine." Seeing his dazed look, Shang Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slyly, and said with a clear face, "Oh, I see, you are thinking Sister Shu Qing thinks that she can't sleep, right?"
Qin Xiu said urgently, "No."
"You're so nervous?" Qin Xiuzhi was in a hurry to deny it. In Shang Xiao's eyes, he was shy. Shang Xiao walked up to him and whispered, "Both you and your brother think you and Sister Shu Qing are a good match. Come on!" Seeing them standing together today, Shang Xiao is sure that no one is more suitable than these two.
Qin Xiuzhi was reflexively denying it just now. Before he could understand why he was in a hurry to deny it, he heard Shang Xiao's words. Qin Xiuzhi's heart sank, and he frowned and asked in a low voice, "Does your brother think so too?"
"Yes." Shang Xiao nodded vigorously, as if he didn't believe it.
He also felt that he was compatible with Shu Qing, so he should be happy, shouldn't he? But what is he mourning for? Qin Xiuzhi smiled bitterly, at this moment, can he ignore his true thoughts? In fact, he has already understood what kind of affection he has for Shang Jun, but he can't and dare not admit it.
"What's wrong?" Shang Xiao looked strangely at Qin Xiuzhi's melancholy expression.
Qin Xiuzhi shook his head, how could he answer that the person I like is actually your brother
After admitting his feelings, Qin Xiuzhi felt both relaxed and depressed. He really didn't know how to face Shang Xiao's pure and clear eyes.
"It's nothing, I'm a little tired. You should rest early, too." Qin Xiuzhi looked away and turned to leave.
"Oh." Shang Xiao inexplicably watched the always elegant Qin Xiuzhi hurriedly cross the sea of flowers and disappeared before his eyes.
How is this going
Early the next morning, Xuanyuan Yi and his party, Shang Jun, Shang Xiao, Murong Shuqing, and Qin Xiuzhi, sat in the flower hall. Xuanyuan Yi, who had been silent last night, got up and said straight to the point: "Shang Zhuangzhu, I don't want to waste everyone's time. Breaking the formation is very important to our army's battle. , that Xuanyuan Yi is no longer difficult to be strong."
While blowing the tea in his hand, Shang Jun asked with a smile: "Tell me what you think, I will help you break through the battle, and you will be sure to win?"
Is he interested? Pei Che quietly glanced at Murong Shuqing, who was leisurely eating pastries. Everything seemed to have nothing to do with her. Last night, Shang Jun's attitude was very tough, why did it change so early in the morning
Xuanyuan Yi said loudly: "I already have a new offensive strategy, you command the front to break the formation, our army is divided into two groups, all the way to Qushan, bypassing its formation range, and attacking directly from the rear, when their main All attention should be paid to the formation. Our army's rear surprise attack will definitely be unexpected. If you succeed in breaking through the formation and attacking from the front and the rear, you will definitely win. , burn his grain and grass, and treat his body with his own way."
We chatted with Shu Qing for a long time last night. With his own strength, it is impossible to overthrow Long Chimu at present, but if you add the strength of Xuanyuan Yi and Shu Qing, there is still a chance, and Shu Qing said nothing. Wrong, Xuanyuan Yi did have a good plan. Shang Jun put down the tea in his hand, changed his sloppy attitude, and analyzed seriously: "The three-way attack is indeed a good method, but first, do you know the correct location of the enemy's grain storage? Second, this strategic method requires time. Very high, can you guarantee that the cooperation will be just right? Third, I have met You Xiao, and from what I know about him, it is impossible for him to just set up a battle and feel safe. Therefore, your Is the three-way attack feasible? I am afraid that I will fall into someone else's trap."
His opinion not only made Li Ming put away his disapproving expression, but also made Xuanyuan Yi brighten his eyes and became interested. He took out the topographic map he carried with him from his arms and spread it out in front of Shang Jun. , said: "Our army has identified the location of the granary. As for the attack time, it will start when you break the formation. You enter the formation and send out a signal, and the other two lines will start to attack. As for You Xiao, I have been fighting for two months. I know his cunning, but he also has a weakness, that is, he is too arrogant. He pulls the formation very large, and he is confident that no one can break his formation, so after the formation, there is another hidden ditch, and there is no other defense. So the three-way attack is still feasible.”
Shang Jun took a close look at the topographic map, and the route details were clearly marked on it. He also admired Xuanyuan Yi at the moment. As expected, he was worthy of being the general of the town of East Yu. It is estimated that it would be difficult for You Xiao to win. Shang Jun had more confidence in Xuanyuan Yi, and immediately smiled cheerfully: "Okay, I promise to break the formation."
"Really?" Li Ming exclaimed, agreed so easily
Pei Che was also shocked by Shang Jun's change. Looking at Murong Shuqing again, he still looked like he was out of the way. Wasn't it really because of her? What is the relationship between her and Misty Mountain Villa? How could she have such a big influence on Shang Jun
Shang Jun smiled and said, "Am I joking? Let's go. Solve this matter as soon as possible." He couldn't wait.
The group got up, and Qin Xiuzhi, who had been sitting next to him, suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and asked, "I wonder if Qin can go with him?" Qin Xiuzhi sighed bitterly, he should like Shu Qing, or a lively business smile would do, but he The one who thought about it the most was Shang Jun. He already knew his intentions last night. He should have escaped and stayed away from him, but he just couldn't control himself and wanted to follow him all the way. He admitted that he was crazy.
Before Shang Jun had time to speak, Shang Xiao, who was beside him, jumped up and said, "I'm going too."
Shang Jun shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Xiaoer, this is not to play."
"Brother, let me go." She knew that this battle with Cang Yue was related to avenging her parents, so she must go.
Shang Jun wanted to say something, but was shocked by Shang Xiao's determined eyes, and finally nodded gently.
Pei Che felt that the atmosphere was a little sluggish, and said with a smile, "Okay, since everyone wants to contribute, let's go together."
Unexpectedly, a good intention was exchanged for Shang Xiao to sneer without any face, "It's not helping you, it's a lot of work." Now the atmosphere is lively, and there is a burst of laughter in the flower hall, but Pei Che is dumbfounded. Who is he recruiting? Who did you mess with!
A group of people just laughed, but Shu Qing saw a very interesting scene, Xiu Zhi's clear eyes never left Shang Jun, maybe Shang Jun's spring is coming soon.
