Xue Ziqin's face was ashen, and he did not return to his residence. Xue Changfeng was there, and he actually didn't want to live with Xue Changfeng, he always felt a little awkward. He walked around the barracks a few times and looked like he was doing an inspection, but in reality he was full of his own affairs and was annoying.
"Where's Min Qiu?" Xue Ziqin was walking, grabbed a small soldier next to him and asked, his tone was so vicious that the small soldier was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly: "Min, Lieutenant General Min, patrol over there. !"
"Call me here!" Xue Ziqin slid the man out, and the soldier stumbled and hurried away.
He just stood there and waited, not knowing why he called Min Qiu here. Usually, the big and small things in the military camp, especially some tedious matters, he would leave it to Min Qiu to do it. Although there is nothing to do now, it is like a habit, and he wants to see what Min Qiu is doing.
It didn't take long for Xue Ziqin to see the little soldier leading Min Qiu over. Seeing Xue Ziqin's people, Min Qiu slowed down a bit. The little soldier was probably scared and ran away.
"The general is looking for me?" Min Qiu asked cautiously. He was used to seeing Xue Ziqin's unhappy appearance. In addition, he hadn't witnessed what happened today, but this time, he was in charge of the military camp with Xisu, so how could he not know about it.
Seeing Min Qiu at this time, Xue Ziqin didn't know where to start.
Xue Ziqin opened his mouth for a long time without saying a word. Looking at Min Qiu's face full of doubts, the hand he brought up because he was about to speak, simply patted Min Qiu's shoulder, and suddenly said, "It's hard work."
"???" Min Qiu was even more puzzled.
Xue Ziqin abruptly suppressed the anger he suffered from Cen Lizhen, pretended that nothing happened, and led him around the barracks aimlessly while talking: "Where are you staying tonight? Guo Linchong is staying tonight. Where?"
"Me?" Min Qiu was very terrified, Xue Ziqin actually took the initiative to ask them about their living conditions tonight, was he caring about his subordinates, "I live at Zhou Xiao's place, and Guo Linchong went on duty in the general's tent on his own accord. ."
"Self-invitation? With whom?" Hearing this, Xue Ziqin's expression suddenly changed, and his brows frowned slightly.
"Isn't it with you, General?" Min Qiu asked back, "I saw him over there just now, and I asked along the way, that's what he said."
"Oh?" Xue Ziqin glanced at the general's tent, but in fact, from their current position, they couldn't see the situation nearby at all, "Alright, so that nothing goes wrong."
Min Qiu looked at Xue Ziqin's profile and asked again, "Well... so the general has something to do with me?"
"It's alright." Xue Ziqin turned his face to look at Min Qiu, not sure if he was used to talking to Min Qiu on weekdays, but suddenly felt irritable, "It's alright, I can't call you?"
"Uh… "
"Uh what uh?"
"Um… "
"Tsk," the more Xue Ziqin looked at it, the more unpleasant he felt, "What do you mean by being so hesitant to say anything?"
Min Qiu thought for a while and said, "So what is the general looking for me for?"
Min Qiu kept asking this question over and over again. To be honest, Xue Ziqin just called people over subconsciously. There is no business to find Min Qiu, and I can't make up a more realistic reason. into hemp flowers.
Silence comes as soon as you say it, the two of you look at me and I look at you, and haven't spoken for a long time.
Xue Ziqin couldn't stand this sudden embarrassment, and finally squeezed out two words:
"drink wine."
"Isn't the general not drinking?" Min Qiu asked suspiciously.
"That general is going to drink today, isn't it?" Xue Ziqin asked.
"General, it's still during the war..." Min Qiu said, Xue Ziqin's face became worse and worse, seeing that Min Qiu had a chill behind his back, he swallowed and continued: "I don't have any alcohol now. "
Xue Ziqin lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Zhong Yi has it." Then he hooked Min Qiu's shoulder, and Mu Huatian walked towards Zhong Yi.
"Occasionally, this general also likes to eat and drink with his subordinates, you know?"
"Know… "
"Can you say a few more words?"
"Understood, General."
"That's right."
Xue Ziqin suddenly came to want to drink, but Zhong Yi suffered. He and his little apprentice took care of the wounded from the battlefield during the day. Just as he was lying down to rest, Xue Ziqin rushed into the tent without even saying hello.
"Zhong Yi, give me the wine." Xue Ziqin started to lift Zhong Yi's quilt.
"What are you doing?" Zhong Yi shouted in panic.
Luo Yansheng had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the sound, opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at the two tall and mighty figures in front of him. Then I saw Zhong Yi being taken off the bed, followed by the sound of the wooden board creaking when the dark compartment was opened, and then the two of them walked away without knowing what they were holding.
Zhong Yi scolded a few words, and then went back to the bed. Only then did he see Luo Yansheng half-rising and looking at him, and angered him: "What are you looking at?! Sleep!"
…
Min Qiu's drinking capacity is good, but Min Qiu also knows that Xue Ziqin's drinking capacity is not very good.
Xue Ziqin didn't drink much in the first place. Usually, when he celebrates his achievements, Xue Ziqin means to drink two glasses. It was the first time that he called him to drink together. Also because of the abnormality of this matter, Min Qiu was a little overwhelmed. He briefly recalled what Xue Ziqin would do when he was unhappy in the past. It was the first time that I asked for two drinks today.
Xue Ziqin took him to a place where the fire was burning and sat down. Originally, there were two soldiers chatting there. Seeing the general and the lieutenant coming together, they said hello and left. Xue Ziqin sighed inwardly that everyone under his command was quite sensible, then he tore off the lid on the wine jar and threw it aside. He didn't intend to leave anything behind, he picked up the jar and took a gulp. .
Min Qiu looked at him like that, as if he was going to be drunk, and was a little surprised, but he also opened the lid and took a sip. Oh, Min Qiu really didn't expect the wine that Zhong Yi was hiding there. It wasn't bad. He thought about it and took two more sips, completely immersed in the pleasure brought by the wine.
"Why do you say some people turn their faces so quickly?"
The two were sitting by the fire drinking, and Min Qiu was concentrating on tasting the good wine that Zhongyi had kept secret. Xue Ziqin suddenly spoke up, startling him, and when he looked up, he saw Xue Ziqin's profile. When Xue Ziqin said this, his eyes stared at the burning fire, and there was a beating fire in his eyes, and his face was slightly red.
Without waiting for Min Qiu to reply, Xue Ziqin continued, "Obviously she used to be very cute, why does it feel so strange now."
"The general said... the ninth prince?" Min Qiu asked tentatively.
But who knows, Xue Ziqin looked like he was here to chat with Min Qiu, but he just wanted to talk to himself. He didn't answer Min Qiu's questions, and said to himself: "What kind of blow do you think people have to suffer to become like this? He stays in the palace well, and his mother is the favorite concubine. Who can do anything to him?"
Although he didn't answer, Min Qiu also understood that Xue Ziqin was troubled by the Ninth Prince's affairs.
Xue Ziqin took a few more sips of wine as he spoke, as if the things in his heart could only be said after drinking. Min Qiu didn't answer, picked up the jar and touched it directly on the wine jar that Xue Ziqin was carrying, making a crisp sound. Xue Ziqin was drinking, squinting, glanced at Min Qiu with complicated eyes, then put down the wine jar and said, "I should be grateful for the old man's adoption of me, but I don't understand why they are all with the blood of the Xue family. Prince. I would rather assist him."
Xue Ziqin didn't say that Min Qiu's actions just now made him feel a warm feeling after a long time.
In fact, the more brothers who are born and die together every day, the easier it is to ignore the affection of getting along day and night. Min Qiu didn't delve into the original appearance of the matter, or why he was so unhappy, but brought up the wine jar and touched him... This simple action contained the mutual support and trust for so many years.
"No matter what the political situation is, I follow the general, and I will follow the general from now on." Min Qiu said lightly.
The meaning here is very simple. If Xue Ziqin wants to support the ninth prince, then Min Qiu will support the ninth prince. Whether it was the Northern Army or Xue Ziqin, everyone originally belonged to the Xue Family Army, that is, General Xue.
If one day Xue Ziqin is going to oppose Xue Changfeng - hearing Min Qiu's words, Xue Ziqin can't help but think, if there is such a day, there may not be many soldiers who can follow him.
The "Xue" of Xue Jiajun is still the "Xue" of Xue Changfeng. Xue Ziqin never questioned this point, but today, he actually had the idea to shake it.
For Min Qiu who said such words, Xue Ziqin didn't stingy his gratitude, he put his arms around Min Qiu's shoulders again, and then moved closer to Min Qiu.
Min Qiu turned his head to look at Xue Ziqin, and heard Xue Ziqin say word by word: "Others think that I must be grateful to the old man for his re-creation, but in fact, I have never seen him as my father. My father died a long time ago. ."
Xue Ziqin looked feminine, and when he said this, the pair of phoenix eyes showed a fierce light, but because of the alcohol smell, it seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and it was impossible to see it.
"It's okay, the general doesn't need to be too concerned." Min Qiu said.
"Min Qiu, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. You may be the one who can follow me in the Northern Army." Xue Ziqin turned his face away and put his hand on Min Qiu's shoulder. As he moved slightly, "Guo Linchong is tricky, and that bitch Shan Mo is just a little bit nicer to me now... As for Zhou Xiao, the old man is kind to him, and he won't do anything to hurt the old man."
"Just tell me what the general said," Min Qiu said, "but Guo Linchong... what's wrong?"
Speaking of serious matters, Xue Ziqin suddenly became serious.
He took his hand back, took another sip from the wine jar, and said, "I can't tell, but, do you remember what you told me three years ago? Guo Linchong wasn't in the house that night."
"General, you mean the general's wedding night?"
"What kind of big marriage is not a big marriage, I haven't even seen Princess Yun's face." Xue Ziqin shouted dissatisfiedly, "Also, that day, when I mentioned Cao Zhong's dog thief."
Min Qiu nodded: "It's really weird, but it's not a big deal."
"Do you know it intuitively?" Xue Ziqin said, "As a general, it is transparent to see what the people below are thinking."
"Oh?" Min Qiu was somewhat amused by his remarks, and because he was drinking, Min Qiu lost his usual caution, and said casually, "The general knows what I'm thinking?"
"What's on your mind? Mom." Xue Ziqin said disdainfully.
"..." Mentioning the name of "Old Mother", Min Qiu was sullen and could only drink to express dissatisfaction.
Xue Ziqin looked at the sky, the sky was empty, and suddenly remembered that Cen Lixuan wanted to see the snow at that time, he sent someone to carry the general's couch to the door and let Cen Lixuan see it. Not myself anymore.
Thinking about it like this, it seems to have opened up again.
Cen Lixuan is only a child, so what is the point of revenge for playing with him.
If he really cares about it, it seems that he is so dignified as General Xue, so naive.
The two chatted for a while, and the wine in the wine jar was bottomed out. Min Qiu knew that Xue Ziqin was not a good drinker, but he had never seen Xue Ziqin drunk. Every time he had a few drinks, he would never let himself get drunk. Today, Xue Ziqin drank his cheeks flushed red, and finally Min Qiu spoke, without a sign, Xue Ziqin fell on his shoulder and fell asleep.
Min Qiu wanted to cry without tears, and after shaking it several times to no avail, he could only carry Xue Ziqin back to Zhou Xiao.
