The adjutant spoke in a hurry, and couldn't force himself to speak after finishing this sentence.
Ji Jinrong poured a glass of water for the other party, and told him to calm down first.
Arthurs pursed his lips, stared at the glass of water that Ji Jinrong handed over for two seconds, and quickly put his mind back on the business. He asked, "What's the matter?"
The adjutant said: "My lord, Master An Jie has rebelled!" Seeing that Arthurs had no intention of letting Ji Jinrong leave, he continued, "He sold the locations of several of our secret strongholds to Duke William. It's dangerous!"
Arthurs' fingers tapped the edge of the table.
Seeing Arthurs' expression, the adjutant gradually became calm. He still couldn't think clearly, and shouted: "My lord..."
Arthurs said lightly: "I see, you go down."
The adjutant had long been used to Arthurs' temper, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Ji Jinrong felt admiration. Arthurs didn't say anything, didn't make any arrangements, just said "I see", and the pace of the people below changed from anxious to steady when they left.
It can be seen that Arthurs is their backbone.
Ji Jinrong noticed that Arthurs only twitched his brows when he heard the word "An Jie", and remained calm at other times, not even the slightest emotion when he heard the location of the stronghold was leaked.
Ji Jinrong knew that there were some things he could not ask, so he quietly stepped aside and put the dishes into the food box.
For some reason, Arthurs was a little uncomfortable with Ji Jinrong's indifference, so he stepped forward to clean up with Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong was stunned.
Arthurs didn't feel how strange his behavior was at all. He put away the dishes with ease, looked at Ji Jinrong and asked, "Aren't you curious?"
Ji Jinrong shook his head.
He didn't know who An Jie was, nor what the stronghold of the Freedom Army was. Why should he be curious? Many people die quickly because they always want to know things they shouldn't know.
Arthurs said: "You are very clever."
Ji Jinrong didn't answer, but smiled and said, "I'll take the things back to the kitchen first."
Arthurs stared at Ji Jinrong, his eyes were full of beautiful blue.
He gently grabbed Ji Jinrong's palm.
Ji Jinrong was stunned.
Arthurs picked up the missing tableware with his other hand, with a smile in his eyes: "This one is missing." He let go of Ji Jinrong's hand, opened it and put the tableware in.
Arthurs' attitude was very natural, so Ji Jinrong didn't pay much attention, and closed the food box again and went out.
At this point Arthurs was back at his desk, looking as if he was going to get busy again. After Ji Jinrong walked away, Arthur rubbed his index finger with his thumb, reminiscing about the wonderful touch just now.
Just thinking about it, he felt a burst of electricity rushing to his brain.
Arthurs was a little parched.
Oh, how did the cutlery run away and hide, he didn't know =v=
When Ji Jinrong returned to the kitchen, Caroline had already finished her lunch.
He asked Caroline and himself to go back to the room.
Ji Jinrong, Caroline, and old Robert sat up and talked.
Ji Jinrong said: "Master Arthurs is not simple."
Caroline was insensitive to these matters, and looked at Ji Jinrong anxiously, waiting for Ji Jinrong to continue.
But old Robert responded: "Yes, this lord is not simple." He is old and cannot lift his shoulders or hands, and others are much less wary of him. There are some things that Ji Jinrong and Caroline cannot inquire about. You can easily inquire. He said, "It's been less than half a month since he came here, and the whole city has fallen under his control. Although this city is small, it is a well-known holy place of medicine, and the Imperial Medical Association has always been established in this place. Having a large number of doctors with excellent medical skills is a very good help for the army... This lord's method of winning people's hearts is really amazing."
Ji Jinrong said: "Not only that." He looked serious, "His status in the Freedom Army is not low, but there must be other reasons for 'recovering from illness' in such a small place at this time."
Old Robert felt that his little master had grown up. His nose is a little sore again, what's the use of growing up, his little master has been the emperor for a few days, and now he doesn't even have the qualifications to inherit the territory—otherwise, with his little master's wisdom, he will definitely be able to live in peace Staying in the fief, you don't have to live the life of living under the fence.
Old Robert hated those who put his little master as a scapegoat.
He agreed with Ji Jinrong's words: "Yes, there must be other reasons."
Ji Jinrong said: "Just now I know what 'other reason' is."
Old Robert and Caroline both sat up straight and looked at Ji Jinrong together.
Ji Jinrong said: "The Freedom Army started from a chaotic army. The whole team is mixed with good and bad people, and there are everyone. As long as there are people, there will be conflicts of interest. The reason why this lord retreats to such a small place at this juncture is to take advantage of the opportunity. Get rid of the guys in the Freedom Army who don't agree with you."
Ji Jinrong is not such a simple person.
The loneliness and loneliness Arthurs showed in front of him was true, but Arthurs' ruthlessness and ambition were also true.
Arthurs was not at all surprised when he heard that "Master Anjie" had betrayed him, and he had obviously expected such a day.
Since such a day was expected, how could Arthurs let that "Master Anjie" know something important
What that "Master Anjie" knew must be what Arthurs wanted the other party to know.
Then Arthurs let that "Master Anjie" go to Duke William with the "important information" he knew—
If Ji Jinrong guessed correctly, those strongholds were indeed strongholds, but the people in those strongholds had conflicts of interest with Arthurs.
In this way, Arthurs can get rid of those who are at odds with him, and he doesn't have to be charged with infighting!
After this incident, other people will hate the traitor and Duke William even more. Arthurs came forward to integrate the others, and his position in the Free Army will definitely be improved to a higher level!
Arthurs is ruthless and ruthless, and his future achievements will definitely not be small.
And Arthurs didn't avoid him just now, and asked him if he was curious. This peculiar attitude was obviously intended to recruit him—as for why Arthur wanted to recruit a cook, Ji Jinrong hadn't figured it out either.
Possibly he's blown the shit out of old David
Although it's just a trial right now, Ji Jinrong knows that one day Arthurs will officially speak.
Before that, he had to make all the plans.
Ji Jinrong straightened his face, and his eyes swept over the faces of old Robert and Caroline: "This Sir Arthur is a great careerist."
Old Robert's heart skipped a beat.
He stared at Ji Jinrong's childish face, tremblingly said: "You want to..."
Ji Jinrong said, "I want to ask what you guys mean." He paused, "Do you want to live a peaceful life in the future, or do you want to follow me all the time—if you keep following me, you may encounter many very strange things in the future. Dangerous thing."
If you want to fight against the fate of the entire era, the price you have to pay is absolutely huge.
At least stability and tranquility will be a luxury.
Seeing Ji Jinrong's firm expression, old Robert's lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.
Caroline said firmly: "Where you are, I will be there!"
Caroline did not use "brother", but "you", expressing her determination to Ji Jinrong.
Old Robert also recovered his voice: "I can't go anywhere, I can only continue to drag you down."
Ji Jinrong said: "How can you say it's a drag? I have a lot of things that I need Grandpa to explain to me."
Old Robert knew that Ji Jinrong was comforting himself.
Ji Jinrong was already able to analyze things that he couldn't, so what else does he need to consult in detail. He sighed: "If you or Caroline have children, I might be of some use."
Ji Jinrong didn't say much.
It is indeed a good choice to take refuge in Arthurs.
It is far better to follow a leader who is ruthless to his enemies than one who is indecisive. He has no chance to contact Chief Eric or Duke William now, Arthurs is already the best candidate. Maybe Arthurs is not as good as leader Eric now, but with Arthurs' skills and heart, his status will definitely not be lowered in the future.
If he wants to get in touch with the best and most outstanding people of this era, he should strive to go up and reach a height that can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
Ji Jinrong said: "I have things to do, and when I do them, I will sacrifice a lot of things." He looked serious, "Once a choice is made for many things, there is no way to turn back. Even if one day in the future you regret today There is no way for me to let you go back to today and choose again."
Neither Caroline nor old Robert were children.
They have no intention of changing their decision.
If Arthurs were really as ruthless and ambitious as Ji Jinrong said, how could they let Ji Jinrong face it alone? Originally, in this kind of world, it is impossible to hope for a stable life, so why not follow Ji Jinrong and accomplish what he wants to do with Ji Jinrong!
The three reached an agreement.
Ji Jinrong lay in bed and took a nap for an hour before being woken up by the supervisor. It turned out that the buyer in the mansion was sick, and the ingredients were about to bottom out, so the supervisor asked him to buy ingredients. Ji Jinrong received a large sum of money, went to the kitchen to find a few helpers, and went to the market to buy ingredients.
Compared with the ready-made vegetables and meat in the mansion, Ji Jinrong saw more strange ingredients. He knew that many ingredients on the dinner table were domesticated, and many of the ingredients sold in the market were "pure natural", which dazzled Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong picked around and returned with a full load of fresh vegetables and live animals.
Unexpectedly, on the way back, he ran into Moore again.
Ji Jinrong greeted Moore with a relaxed face: "Meet you again!"
Moore felt that this guy was haunted!
He sullenly said, "Why are you wandering in the street?"
Ji Jinrong pointed to the "porters" who were captured by him next to him: "The supervisor asked me to come out and buy." I bought a lot of ingredients that I had never seen before, and I really wanted to taste what it was like right away, and what should I do? eat!
Looking at Ji Jinrong's slightly bright eyes, Moore felt even more aggrieved.
Going out to buy something is so happy, can this guy pursue it a little bit!
Seeing that Moore's face was ugly, Ji Jinrong handed the wheat sugar biscuit in his hand to Moore, and said with a smile: "I'm in a bad mood. Eat something sweet. I think your complexion is not very good. You must have not had lunch yet. No matter how busy you are, No matter how tired you are, you can't starve yourself!"
Well, in fact, this biscuit has a little too much sugar, and it tastes too sweet, which he doesn't like very much.
Moore looked at the biscuits that Ji Jinrong handed over, and looked through the opening of the paper bag, all of them were round-headed and cute.
The sweet smell of maltose came to the nostrils, and Moore, who usually hated desserts the most, found it inexplicably pleasant.
Moore took the biscuit and looked at Ji Jinrong's childish face.
This guy is only fifteen or sixteen years old, so of course he is easy to be happy at such a young age. He was several years older than this guy, yet secretly jealous of a guy younger than himself! What right does he have to be proud of his ability and talent!
Moore said, "Have you finished shopping?"
Ji Jinrong said: "I've bought everything the housekeeper specified." In fact, he also bought a lot of things that were not specified, because the vendors liked them very much, so the price was much cheaper than selling them to others, and the money given by the supervisor was completely enough! He also gave him a small portion of the ingredients he was interested in for free, so that he could go back and try it. He promised the traders to go back and tell them when they came up with a new method, and they were all very happy.
Moore looked at Ji Jinrong's brows and eyes brimming with a happy smile, and thought to himself that this guy is still a child after all, and he is happy to do such a small thing.
He was actually jealous of a child!
It really shouldn't be!
Moore made a deep reflection on his mentality.
But when he thought of how his teacher treated Ji Jinrong differently, he still couldn't control the sour bubbles in his heart.
Thinking of the teacher's instructions, Moore's heart moved.
He said firmly to Ji Jinrong: "Would you like to go to the Imperial Medical Association with me? Just ask someone else to send the things back."
Ji Jinrong did not expect Moore to make such an invitation.
This is... the magical friendship that comes with sugar cookies
Ji Jinrong squeezed his favorite honey-filled bear cake, but in the end he was reluctant to give it away to "deepen friendship".
Maybe Moore likes sugar cookies
Yes, that must be the case, so the honey filled bear cake is still not given to him.
Ji Jinrong happily made his decision, waved goodbye to the others, and obediently followed Moore to the Imperial Medical Association.
Ordinary people don't have the opportunity to enter this kind of place, so don't miss it!
Moore watched Ji Jinrong carefully hide the bag of biscuits in his pocket, and the veins on his forehead couldn't help twitching a few times.
Did this guy think he was going to grab his biscuits? !
Who would be so childish!
Moore led Ji Jinrong forward and warned: "When you get there, don't run around or talk nonsense, just follow me. If the teacher said you are very talented, I wouldn't take people there indiscriminately. Those who enter the Imperial Medical Association are all the best doctors in the empire—” He was halfway through his speech, looking at Ji Jinrong, only to find that Ji Jinrong had slipped his hand into his pocket—then sneakily took out a small bear-shaped biscuit, and prepared to put it in his mouth deliver.
Moore stopped and stared at Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong was caught and introduced to Moore without changing his expression, "This is a honey filled bear biscuit. The vendor's craftsmanship is excellent. Such a small biscuit is actually filled with sweet honey! The biscuit is crispy and crispy on the outside. , the fresh honey in it flowed out after one bite, because the biscuit is small and there is not much honey, it doesn't taste greasy at all, it's really great!"
Moore: "..."
I really want to hit someone!
Obviously he doesn't like sweets at all, but after hearing Ji Jinrong's words, he was inexplicably hungry!
Moore stared at the biscuit in Ji Jinrong's hand.
Ji Jinrong ate the biscuit in his hand in one gulp.
Moore glared at him.
Ji Jinrong had no choice but to take out the biscuits from his pocket: "Would you like to try some?" This is the last pack, and the person who bought the biscuits just now has already closed the stall!
Moore laughed angrily at Ji Jinrong's distressed expression.
He snatched the whole bag of biscuits into his hands with lightning speed, stuffed them into his pocket, and confiscated them all.
Ji Jinrong: "..."
Now it was Ji Jinrong who wanted to hit someone.
Moore taught with a sullen face: "I'll introduce you to the situation of the Imperial Medical Association. You only care about eating there, is it reasonable?"
Ji Jinrong felt that he was really a little rude, so he had no choice but to give up grabbing back his honey-filled bear cake, and followed Moore obediently to the seat of the Imperial Medical Association. Along the way, Moore had already told Ji Jinrong the general situation of the association.
In short, this is the most authoritative medical exchange center in the empire, and it also has the largest library of medical classics and the largest medicinal material storage center. At this moment, everyone in the association has only one goal: to solve the plague created by the mad duke!
To this end, they have done many experiments, hoping to find out the method of preventing and curing that terrible infectious disease!
The arrival of the Free Army reassured the people in the association.
The imperial army has completely collapsed, and now only the Free Army can compete with Duke William.
Thus the Free Army took over the Imperial Medical Association peacefully.
Moore said that he was in charge of this area, but he was actually an errand runner, trying his best to coordinate the relationship between the Freedom Army and the Association—not only to meet the requirements of the Association, but also to strive for the interests of the Freedom Army.
Moore is under a lot of pressure.
He is not yet twenty years old. Because he lived a very hard life when he was a child, he has a somewhat vain personality, and he really hopes to be recognized by others. When he is underestimated and insulted, he will erect the sharp thorns all over his body, trying to fight back against those people. When he found that the relationship was a little stiff, he regretted it again, and he was very worried that his impulsiveness would mess up the things entrusted to him by Arthurs and his teacher.
His task this afternoon is to prepare a batch of medicine according to the new prescription.
The thought of dealing with those pharmacists who were not convinced by him made Moore's brain ache slightly.
Just now Moore was worrying about not being able to handle this matter, when he saw the cheerful Ji Jinrong appearing in his field of vision. After receiving the wheat sugar biscuits from Ji Jinrong, he suddenly had the idea of asking Ji Jinrong to go to the Imperial Medical Association together.
When he heard that everyone in the kitchen called Ji Jinrong "the amazing boy", he felt disapproving. That's because Ji Jinrong dealt with cooks from humble backgrounds! If he was facing those aristocratic pharmacists with weird personalities, would he still be so "magical"!
Imagining that scene, Moore felt very comfortable.
Even though he knew it was wrong, but—but he still wanted to see Ji Jinrong deflated!
Oh, jealousy never makes sense.
If Ji Jinrong is embarrassed later, he will come forward to rescue him.
Moore thought to himself.
