After a month and a half, Li Ruyi still failed to change her father's opinion of Jiang Yunqi, and the punishment of cleaning the stables was naturally not cancelled, which made her feel more and more guilty towards Jiang Yunqi.
Li Ruyi, who used to come to the military camp only once a month, had come to deliver food to General Li for the third time in just the first half of this month.
Fortunately, although General Li appeared mighty and domineering outside, he was actually henpecked at home. When he heard his youngest daughter say that his wife asked her to come, he did not delve into why his daughter came so frequently. Instead, he was quite happy that his wife was thinking about him.
However, General Li also knew that Ruyi was a woman after all, and it was indeed against the rules for her to frequently enter and leave the military camp.
Also, Ruyi had been constantly whispering in his ear about the sinister Jiang Yunqi, which always gave him a bad feeling.
Besides, every time those young boys outside saw Ruyi, their wolf-like and ferocious eyes really made him, an old father, feel uncomfortable.
So he thought he should take some time to go home and asked his wife to have a personal guard deliver meals to him in the future.
Of course, Li Ruyi didn't know what General Li was thinking. She just took the opportunity when her father went to watch the new recruits training to change into a soldier's uniform and go to the stable. This time, she also brought the good wine that Jiang Yunqi had been thinking about.
"Have you been waiting for a long time? It's all because Li Si has been guarding outside. I couldn't find a chance to come out. I finally waited for him to leave."
Li Ruyi pouted and complained. Before Jiang Yunqi could say anything, she quickly took out the wine jug hidden in her sleeve, looked at him with a smile and said:
"Last time I heard you say that you wanted to get drunk to forget your worries. I can't fulfill your other great ambitions, but a pot of wine is okay. I specifically asked about it. This is the wine of Zuihualou, and it is also the most famous wine in the whole Huaizhou City."
When it comes to wine, Jiang Yunqi is extremely greedy.
If he had known that drinking was not allowed in the army, he might have hesitated whether to enter the barracks.
However, if he hadn't come to the military camp, he would not have met a woman as easy to please and of such a high status as Li Ruyi.
"Thank you, Ruyi. I'm lucky to have you. Otherwise, I don't know how I would have gotten through this day." Jiang Yunqi said this, and he couldn't help but hold Li Ruyi's hand.
But after just a short moment, he seemed to come to his senses and immediately relaxed: "Ruyi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, I just couldn't control my emotions at the moment."
But Li Ruyi was dumbfounded, and her face suddenly turned red.
Although she often went to the military camp and had met many men, she had never been so close to a man.
Moreover, she had always had a filter for Jiang Yunqi as a kind-hearted person, and she also felt guilty about the injustice he had suffered in the previous competition. In addition, she had a slight affection for him after spending such a long time together. All these thoughts were entangled together, and her heart was beating wildly at this moment.
Seeing that Li Ruyi just blushed and lowered her head without saying anything, Jiang Yunqi knew that she had a good impression of him.
So he immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "I am not an irresponsible person. Since I have touched you just now, I must be responsible for you. Ruyi, if you are willing, I will immediately go to the general to ask for marriage."
Li Ruyi came back to his senses now.
Getting married? Isn't this too fast? She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Besides, she just touched his hand, and she was not such a conservative person. However, before Li Ruyi could reply, the voice of the soldiers in front came.
Li Ruyi didn't dare let her father know that she was wandering around the military camp, so she only had time to say to Jiang Yunqi, "Let me think about it again," and then trotted out of the stable.
Jiang Yunqi's expression suddenly turned gloomy. He glanced gloomily at the two soldiers who came to lead the horse, feeling resentful towards them for ruining his good deed.
The two soldiers didn't notice anything at all. They just looked at Li Ruyi's back curiously and said something like, "That soldier is really unruly and running around in the camp."

Mingyue found a matchmaker to rent a courtyard with three entrances, and also rented a few rooms next door. Finally, he managed to make arrangements for all the bandits under his command.
Only now did she have time to contact Qin Xingye's spies in the State of Wu.
Both Song and Wu had spies planted in each other's country. Qin Xingye wanted to compete for the throne, so naturally he placed many people in Wu. Now Mingyue got a good deal.
"Tell me all the news you know about Jiang Yunqi. The more recent the better." Mingyue looked at the man in the audience who looked simple and honest but was extremely tall and strong, and felt deeply moved.
Who would have thought that the man under Qin Xingye actually held the position of a thousand-man captain in the Wu army camp, and was also the most trusted and valued subordinate of General Li in the Thirteenth Army Camp.
Of course, this was the spy Mingyue had specially found in Jiang Yunqi's military camp. There must have been spies from other military camps and official circles as well.
The man, the captain Wan Yu, bowed to Mingyue before replying seriously, "If you ask other people, I may not be able to give you an answer, but if you ask Jiang Yunqi, I can tell you something. Jiang Yunqi is actually a capable person..."
At this moment, Wan Yu's face no longer had the arrogance and pride he had in the military camp. He was extremely respectful to Mingyue, and one could tell at a glance that it was Qin Xingye who had specifically ordered this.
Following Wan Yu's words, Mingyue also learned about Jiang Yunqi's current situation.
He concealed his true strength during the competition, was punished to sweep the stables for two months, was isolated and excluded by the soldiers in the army, and was particularly disliked by General Li.
This is different from the scene in the original owner's memory. The original owner had already died at that time, but her head was chopped off by her husband. She was full of resentment and could not enter the cycle of reincarnation. She had been following Jiang Yunqi, thus witnessing his mythical life.
Jiang Yunqi in his previous life was clearly a version of Long Aotian. After killing his wife, everything went smoothly for him and he lived his life without any setbacks.
This is also the reason why the original owner hated and felt so painful. The scumbag never got retribution in his entire life. How could she not hate him
And now, listening to what Wan Yu said, Jiang Yunqi's current experience is clearly exactly the same as the lucky guys' counterattack in some novels. In the beginning, everyone looked down on him, but he met a noble person, and finally counterattacked and slapped his face, and since then he has reached the peak of his life.
Well, Jiang Yunqi’s benefactor also appeared, that is General Li’s youngest daughter Li Ruyi.
As the saying goes, if you walk along the river, you will get your shoes wet. There are eyes everywhere in the military camp. Someone had already discovered the secret meeting between Li Ruyi and Jiang Yunqi, but no one dared to tell General Li.
This is also the reason why the soldiers excluded Jiang Yunqi, mostly out of jealousy, envy and hatred.
