When I left the camp of the Chinese army and went back to my own camp, the "conversation between men" between Tao Qing and his master seemed to be coming to an end, and I only heard Tao Qing's last sentence "... I always thought you were a smart person, but a really smart person... How can I get myself into the desperate situation of death. I’m done talking here, I’ve exhausted my benevolence and righteousness.” He raised his eyes to look at me, the corner of his lips curled up, the master should have noticed the emotional change in his eyes, and turned his head back, with a smile on his face. His expression was indifferent, unable to tell whether it was joy or anger, his eyelids drooped, his gaze flickered, and he replied to Tao Qing: "Anyway, please."
please
I was taken aback for a moment: What did he ask Tao Qing for
The master walked away in a hurry, I returned to Tao Qing, dragged him into the tent, and immediately asked: "Master, what do you want from you?"
He sat down unhurriedly, brushed off the dust that might be on his knees, raised his head and smiled and asked, "What do you think it could be?"
I was too lazy to guess, and asked again: "What did you just say? Is it related to me?"
"Do you believe me when I say it has nothing to do with it?"
I asked again: "Did you verbally bully him?"
He raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I can or I will?"
I was furious and slapped the table: "Second Tao, you are so unkind!"
"Oh?" He did not deny this, but he still asked in confusion, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
I accused him: "If you ask someone else a question, you must answer it honestly. If someone asks you a question, you should ask it three times!"
He is used to business negotiations. The so-called official dialogue means that when the other party asks who you are, you should answer your name and origin, instead of answering abstractly "I am your uncle". When I asked him a question, his answer was like " I'm your uncle" is abstract and provoking.
Tao Qing laughed, pulled my wrist and led me to sit down in his arms, I struggled symbolically twice, then raised my head and glared at him angrily. He rubbed my head and said: "You can't do anything with him, so you just take it out on me?" He said and pulled the end of my hair and tugged it lightly.
I trembled, and immediately realized my mistake, and said with a smile: "Well, I was just in a hurry...Your lord has a lot, don't worry about it like me—what did you guys say?"
Tao Qing flicked on my forehead, and I yelled, not daring to resist.
"It's just a matter of war..." He sighed and smiled helplessly when he met my curious eyes, "Yes, I mentioned you, let me keep an eye on you and don't let you wander around."
When I heard this, I really felt bad—the prime minister is so busy, and he still has to entrust someone else to guard me.
I squinted at Tao Qing. "Then how did you answer him?"
Tao Qing said with a smile: "I said, 'Of course I will take good care of her, but it has nothing to do with you, and you have no position to entrust or thank me.'"
I took a deep breath—Tao Qing, I couldn't bear to say harsh words to him, but you actually said...
Tao Qing approached me, his eyes full of unexplained smiles. "Why, do you feel bad?"
I avoided answering, and asked back in the same way: "Do you think I should feel sorry for you?"
"This is not a question of 'should', but 'will'." Tao Qing paused, and then he poked my heart with his right index finger, "Don't ask me, ask it."
I let go of my strength and leaned on his chest, sighed: "Don't ask it, you are also a uncle, you don't know three times when you ask..."
Tao Qing caressed the hair on the back of my neck, I squinted my eyes contentedly, and heard him whispering in my ear, "Although it doesn't know, it has already made a decision."
My eyelids twitched, but without opening my eyes, I lazily said, "You know everything?"
"You don't even bother to hide the look in his eyes, and he is the only one who is fascinated by the authorities. Shen Dongli can see other people's desires and fears, but he can't see his own feelings." Tao Qing's hand slipped from my shoulder and held Mine, kneading gently.
I closed my eyes and said back to him leisurely: "Master, it's just too contradictory. Now I finally understand that he was too unconfident, he couldn't believe the relationship between us, and he didn't believe that my feelings for him were just like his feelings for him. I, for so many years, have been cautious, walking on thin ice. But he is also too confident, confident that I will never leave him, even if the source of his confidence is only the so-called "teacher-student relationship", so my betrayal... is difficult for him accept."
Betrayal... These two words are really difficult to utter, the feeling of saying it is like being stabbed by someone, and then being stabbed again.
"You think it's a betrayal, so you've always felt guilty towards him?"
"It used to be, but now it's the other way around." The corners of my mouth raised, and I couldn't help but let out a smile, "He thought he betrayed me and felt guilty towards me, so I naturally don't want to use his guilt to do something... ahem... But I am his apprentice after all, and under his influence, I do things only for the end and not for the means, as long as the result is what I want, it might not be a taste to use some dirty means in the process."
Tao Qing let out a laugh. "I've seen a lot of despicable people. It's the first time I've seen you speak so straightforwardly and confidently. Are you in a daze or thinking all day because of these men?"
I sighed and said, "As the so-called self-cultivation, Qi family, governance of the country and peace of the world, I am still in the primary stage of the Qi family." I patted his shoulder with my backhand, "There is a master in governing the country, and the peace of the world depends on you, second brother."
He grabbed my hand and squeezed it, jokingly said, "What did you call me when you 'tortured' me just now?"
I stupidly asked, "What's your name?"
Tao... second child
He shook his head with a smile, and sighed: "It's another face to ask for help." He pinched my chin with his left hand and shook it from side to side, "You can be a rascal, but at least be tactful."
The word euphemism has never appeared in my dictionary.
Oh no, I never had a dictionary.
Tang Si flew into the tent like a gust of wind, cursed and couldn't help but rushed to Tao Qing and jabbed the tip of my nose, angrily said: "You actually left me alone in another man's room."
I slapped his hand off, frowned and said, "Don't worry, you are safe, no one will attack you."
Tang Si's magic finger made a comeback and poked my forehead instead. "You, you, you, don't you just rely on me to love you, because you are inconvenient now, I can't rub you round and squash you, I will take revenge, it's not too late in October! Just wait for me!"
Oh huh huh huh huh... I cast a sinister wink at Tang Si, and I felt very comfortable seeing his disgusted expression of eating a fly by mistake.
Ten months? Only ten months
I want to be favored all my life!
———————————
Ever since Qiao Yu, Tao Qing, and Tang Si rejoined the team, the burden on my shoulders has been completely relieved. Every day, I only grind the chessboard with Liu Che, eat melon seeds, and beat farts. For Tao Qing, Tang Si finally popularized his insidious tricks in the army. The lethality of all weapons was doubled, and the barb and poisonous stinger were fully armed. The only thing that was missing was the advertisement slogan "Tang's time-honored brand" engraved on the back of the knife , after Qiao Yu settled the recruits, he came back to me and became a guard—or the daddy, who is as meticulous as dust, meticulous in every possible way...
After Liu Che rested for a few days, his complexion improved, and he dragged me to play chess in the name of playing chess.
"Your subordinates are full of capable people." Liu Che coughed lightly, although his eyes were fixed on the chessboard, his mind was obviously not on it.
I waved my hands and sighed: "What are 'my subordinates', those are 'superior people'."
Liu Che was choked, his dry cough turned into a violent cough, his fair face flushed again, I looked up at him suspiciously, "Why are you so excited?"
His eyes flickered, he turned his face away, and then turned around again, with a dumbfounding expression. "Yingyu, you..." He was speechless, so shy...
I suddenly realized that I thought he must be thinking something wrong, and I couldn't help but feel contempt for him. "Where do you want to go! It's true that the benevolent sees the benevolent and the benevolent sees the benevolent." I took a chess piece, succeeded in slaying the dragon, and captured the piece.
Liu Che twitched the corner of his mouth, "Aren't you playing Liuxinglianzhu?"
While accepting my son, I said: "Who told you, I obviously changed my game of Go."
"when?"
"Now."
Liu Che was silent for a moment and said, "If I tell you the truth, I'll be mad at myself..."
"So, don't say things that the other party doesn't understand, like that Han Yushi scolding me, I can't understand a word, all his attacks have been nullified." I touched my chin, looked at The chess situation is very good, showing a gratified smile.
Liu Che shook his head and smiled slightly: "How can I say how you are... You don't look like my aunt at all, but more like Gaozu."
Gaozu? Emperor Gaozu...
The man who dreamed of a red sun in his bosom and killed the green snake to revolt? My Great Grandfather, Chen Gaozu, has a famous name, named after the radiant "Mang", the only bad thing is that his surname is Liu, so he lives up to his name, a hooligan who doesn't know a single character, but finally creates a century-old foundation for Great Chen...
I rely on! Finally found the reason.
It turned out that the hooliganism was not my fault, it was all caused by genetics! Those who win hooligans win the world! Xiang Yu, the overlord of Xishu, was so brave, he was besieged to death by those bastards.
I threw it angrily. "Even if I'm a rascal, I'm still a cute rascal! Even if I'm a rascal, I'm still a resounding rascal!"
Liu Che nodded with a smile: "Exactly. Gaozu started in the early days, but he was often assisted by high-level people. You have 'superior people' such as Xiao He, Han Jiao, and Zhang Liang. Why don't you worry about the world not being named Liu?"
I don't know how much sincerity and how much falsehood Liu Che said, but just listening to it literally, it really moved my heart, and I no longer thought about what happened to Xiao Han and Zhang, after all, I was not really Gaozu.
"Ache, when Minyue Kingdom is pacified, I will go with you to see the scenery of the Northern Kingdom!" I said proudly.
"If possible." Liu Che smiled lightly.
"Your Majesty." An announcement came from outside, "General Xu Li, please see me."
Liu Che frowned. "Just say I'm not feeling well, see you."
I rubbed my temples. It has been almost two months since Xu Li was suspended from his post. In the past two months, Bai Fan and Tao Qing formed an alliance and sent troops many times, causing casualties with the Minyue Kingdom, but they still won more than lost. They have Leijiabao as a blasting expert, and we have Tangmen as a bomb disposal expert. On their side there is the Black Society of Hidden Sword Villa, and on our side there is a high-quality militia from Baihong Villa. It's just that we have the talent advantage, and they have the geographical advantage, which leads to a stalemate. This time, weapons of mass destruction were used for the first time in this war, and it was very lively when the battle started—in fact, very few people actually died, because they all knew the power of explosives, and everyone was prepared for it. As soon as the Leidihuo detonated, they played "run fast". In the end, it was difficult to count whether more people died from the stampede or from the explosion.
It can only be said that this is a unique war, the first time in history, it heralds that the era of cold weapons is about to draw a comma, and in this epoch-making war, Xu Li brought his five or six Qianbu was sitting on a cold bench, looking up at the gloomy sky sadly with his chin at a forty-five-degree angle every day. Amidst the rumbling spring thunder and explosions, his whole body exuded the literary and artistic atmosphere of anti-pacifism—at that moment, sadness reversed. Niu Chenghe...
I can completely understand his rage, and then come to invite the battle on time like three meals.
I scratched my head, turned to Qiao Yu behind me and said, "It's time for lunch, let's go back."
Liu Che asked to stay: "Stay here, Tao Qing and the others probably haven't come back yet."
"No, no." Qiao Yu supported me to stand up, I waved my hands and said, "Then Xu Li is always yelling outside the tent, I have trouble digesting it."
Liu Che said, "Or should I drive him away?"
I sighed: "Don't make him jump over the wall, anyway, I'm used to going back to eat, or you just follow."
Liu Che hesitated for a moment, then also stood up. "Then I'll go over to your side..."
I shrugged my shoulders and said indifferently, "It's up to you."
Qiao Yu supported me with a look of being careful not to bump me if I fell, obviously my waist is a bit rounder and my stomach is not that big yet.
There were explosions in the distance, and the battle was in full swing. I temporarily changed my mind and turned to go to the observation deck.
"Aren't you going back to the camp?" Qiao Yu looked down at me suspiciously.
"Go and see if they can come back for dinner." Qiao Yu and I walked ahead, and Liu Che followed me on the left and right. Hearing what I said, he laughed and said, "Judging from the sound, we should be in time."
I ignored him, went to the observation deck and took the observation mirror. I turned the lens tube and squinted my eyes to look around for the figures of several adulterers and lovers, but they were all obscured by the gray smoke.
"I said, this is really disharmonious." I watched and complained, "It's explosives, landmines, bows and arrows, and swords and halberds. Even if it doesn't hurt people, it's not good to hurt flowers and plants. The green hills are charming, the spring flowers are blooming, the war hurts our feelings, let's stop the war, let's flirt..." (New Three Kingdoms)
This formation looks so scary, but in fact there are only a hundred or so people out today, routinely - minesweeping.
Tang Si and Tao Qing took skilled technicians to clear the landmines planted by each other, and then further destroyed the opponent's Nine Thunder Formation. At night, the other party planted mines at night, and we swept them the next day... Day after day, I feel almost used to it.
I scanned the whole terrain and came to a conclusion: They probably want to eat braised pork at night... My stomach hurts so bad...
Just as he was about to call it a day and go back to the tent, the lingering Xu Li followed up again, and this time he directly grabbed Liu Che. His posture had the courage to stop the sedan chair and call for injustice.
I glanced at Liu Che, and said in a low voice, "I'm leaving first." I wanted to slip away, but felt Xu Li's stare at me that was definitely not friendly, and I shivered with a chill down my spine. Startled Qiao Yu, he turned around and gave me a warning eye shot. I patted Qiao Yu on the shoulder, signaling him to be calm.
Xu Li snorted coldly, strode forward with his head held high, his voice was resonant, and what he said was heard in my ears, and all the words of "I hope your majesty will be close and sycophant" came out, which made me feel very uncomfortable, maybe the truth It's always annoying, I naturally don't dare to brazenly call myself "virtuous", at most it is "leisure", not to mention "sycophant", but what kind of good bird is he, Xu Li? Xu Li used to be Liu Che's confidant, but the so-called confidant also happens from time to time. My predecessors have done many things like killing a donkey. The way I look at Xu Li now is just like that. It's almost the same as looking at a donkey, and I don't bother to care too much about him.
He naturally knows who Li Yingyu is, but the fact that I am cousin Liu Che does not reduce my threat to his precious daughter, or even himself. After all, the lessons of history are still there. From two words, Xu Li, an old man, is not resourceful, so he never gave up gossip. He was afraid that I would steal Liu Che's seat, and he probably never guarded against Liu Che's giving up this seat to me. So compared to the way I look at him like a donkey, he looks at me like a vixen who brings disaster to the country and the people—what an honor!
I took Qiao Yu's arm and swaggered back to the camp. I always responded with double contempt to others who despised me.
Liu Che had no choice but to be stumbled by Xu Li. I sat opposite Qiao Yu and ate quietly. Although I repeatedly expressed my desire to share weal and woe with the soldiers, I still couldn’t stop those men from serving me the recipes for pregnant women. Every meal made my eyelids twitch and the corners of my mouth twitched. It was hard for Qiao Yu to accompany me to eat this "pregnant woman set meal" without changing his expression. What it's like to be "pregnant"...
Imagine his thin waist expanding in all directions like a sponge that has absorbed water, his lower abdomen is bulging, and there is a soft and loving smile on his stern face...
