Chapter 74 Intuition
"No need, I have plenty of those things anyway, just eat them."

Sheng Jiaojiao sat on a wooden stake, watching Tan Ji help her with work with peace of mind, watching Tan Ji's flowing movements, just chopping a piece of wood, it felt like dancing with a big knife.

She laughed again:

"If others know that the future general is here to chop wood for me, I don't know what the military masters under you will think."

Tan Ji glanced at her again, seeing her smiling face, he lowered his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

He doesn't know if he can become a general, but Sheng Jiaojiao seems to have full confidence in him.

"Ah, I'll get you some water to drink."

Sheng Jiaojiao seemed to have remembered something, got up with her skirt in hand, turned around, walked through the grove, and went into the backyard to fetch water for Tan Ji.

He went around to the stove again and got some apples for Tan Ji.

Xiuniang was still doing embroidery in the main room, and Mrs. Qi and Miss Qi were in the main room, doing it with Xiuniang.

The Qi family had never invited an embroiderer before, so the old lady Qi and the young lady Qi were quite awkward, and they didn't dare to ask that embroiderer.

This embroiderer from South County is soft-spoken and sometimes asks how to make clothes for Qi Zhang. The expressions of old lady Qi and young lady Qi are both dull.

A sense of helplessness.

When Tan Ji came, he heard from Qi Rong that Sheng Jiaojiao was in the grove in the backyard of Qi's house, so in order not to cause misunderstanding, he didn't go through the main entrance of Qi's house, but took a detour, climbed over a dirt mountain, and arrived at Qi's house In the small forest outside the backyard.

So the Qi family didn't know he was coming.

When Sheng Jiaojiao sneaked over with the earthenware pot and apples, Tan Ji had already split the wood. He took out the knife he carried with him, and chopped off the thorns on the wooden sticks one by one.

"Take a break."

Stepping on the sparse grass, Sheng Jiaojiao sat on a fresh tree stump, took out a ceramic bowl, and poured Tan Ji a bowl of water.

When he came over, he sat down on the tree stump far away from Sheng Jiaojiao, and took a sip of water from the bowl.

The sweet water entered his throat, and Tan Ji's brows relaxed a little.

Immediately, he frowned slightly and asked:

"Aren't you going to talk to your elder brother about this matter in your family?"

"what?"

Sheng Jiaojiao turned her head, looked over an empty tree stump beside her, and looked at Tan Ji.

He raised his eyes, looked at the small forest around him, and said:
"The nobleman intends to win over you, but the servants of the nobleman's house let you buy so many trees, so let's just forget about it?"

"Oh, I asked my aunt to go to Chaozong to buy the tree. I was afraid that he would not bully us."

Sheng Jiaojiao felt that facing Tan Ji, there was nothing to say, so she looked at the gray sky above her head and the sparse branches dotting the sky, and said:

"When gods fight, what happens to mortals? My elder brother is just a small battalion commander in Zhishou County. How can he dare to follow nobles to do great things? I don't want them to think that our Qi family has attached themselves to nobles. I want our family to be ours. Home, it’s fine for you to live in the clouds.”

Tan Ji stopped drinking water, clasped the bowl with two fingers, turned his head to look at Sheng Jiaojiao who was sitting beside him, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't see his gaze, she just dragged her cheeks with both hands, and continued:

"Has that person called Chao Lai ever given a gift to your family?"

When she didn't get an answer, Sheng Jiaojiao turned around again, and finally just sat sideways on the tree stump, and asked again,
"Has the nobleman ever wooed you?"

"Have."

Tan Ji nodded slightly, seeing Sheng Jiaojiao frowned, and said again:

"I just asked him to take the gift back."

Like something Tan Ji would do.

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded and said with satisfaction:
"That is, don't get close to the abolished prince. There are a lot of people staring at him in the imperial capital. Maybe I will vent my anger on you and my elder brother. Knowing that the abolished prince cannot be allowed to control the military power, I will directly send two teams of killers to kill the Tan family. He and the Qi family were slaughtered."

Wasn't it because of this in the previous life?
Otherwise, Yin Ze's two women, one is still a regular wife and the other is just a regular wife, why did they just take advantage of Yin Ze's accompanying wife Ping to go back to their hometown and slaughter Sheng Jiaojiao's entire village?
Why don't you move to the wife's side?
It is more about keeping Qi Zhang alive and growing up in the army, and the military power will be controlled by Yin Ze in the future.

It's a pity that those people living in the imperial capital still missed the relationship between Tan Ji and Qi Zhang.

He and Qi Zhang have been brothers since childhood, and when Qi Zhang died, Sheng Jiaojiao was Tan Ji's responsibility.

In the soul-stirring life of his previous life, Tan Ji never betrayed Sheng Jiaojiao. With him, Sheng Jiaojiao had control of Daze's military power.

Unshakable military power.

Tan Ji sat on the tree stump, lowered his head, took a sip of water, and said in a low voice:

"I didn't think about that layer."

He just simply doesn't like jumping into the messy power struggle.

Chao came to the door of his house, claiming that he was ordered by a nobleman to give gifts, but Tan Ji didn't even let him in at the gate of the courtyard, and asked his aunt to reject both people and gifts.

He will not be like Sheng Jiaojiao, making the nobleman feel that he has won over Qi Zhang, and making the world feel that the Qi family is being bullied by the nobleman.

It seems that no one has been offended, but in fact the intention is far-reaching and intriguing.

Tan Ji has a stubborn personality, pursues strength all his life, and doesn't want to waste time on such meaningless interpersonal relationships. If he survives the battlefield, he will accumulate enough military achievements and grow into an unshakable existence in the army.

At that time, even if he had offended these nobles, they would have to try their best to win him over instead of finding fault with him.

If he can't survive the battlefield, no matter how he clings to the nobleman, it is meaningless.

"Then you should think about it from now on."

Sheng Jiaojiao raised her head, looked at the sky above her head, and said quietly:

"Trees grow towards the sun, so don't people? But among all living beings, who would have thought that the higher you go, the more you think, the more careful you are, the more careful you are, and if you are careless, you will lose everything. "

She knew Tan Ji's character. In his previous life, Tan Ji had such a character that made the royalists and imperial concubines itch.

They tried their best to treat Tan Ji tenderly and win them over, but Tan Ji stayed in the rear party without moving. If Sheng Jiaojiao is the summary of the rear party's interests, then Tan Ji is the foundation of the rear party.

As long as he doesn't move, the Queen's Party will be as stable as a rock, no matter if the court is in turmoil,

So Tan Ji supported Sheng Jiaojiao, and Sheng Jiaojiao also protected Tan Ji. She let him fight with peace of mind, and prevented him from being slandered by anyone. The halberd blocked it.

But Sheng Jiaojiao will not be able to protect him in this life, she will not be a queen, nor will she have a party.

If Tan Ji wants to climb up to the position in his previous life, besides his strength, he must also be cautious, cautious, and cautious.

Tan Ji didn't speak, he looked at Sheng Jiaojiao, when she raised her head, her neck had an elegant arc, as if he used the optimal route to shoot a bow and arrow arc.

very nice.

After recovering, Tan Ji lowered his eyes and said in a low voice:
"When we go out to march and fight, we hang our heads on our trouser belts. All things that have nothing to do with fighting are consuming us, so we don't want to focus on these power struggles, and your brother is the same Think so."

"Is that why you don't marry?"

Sheng Jiaojiao rested her chin and stared at Tan Ji with clear eyes.

To Tan Ji, marrying a wife and having children has nothing to do with fighting, right?
She was very curious, because Tan Ji had never been married in his previous life.

Seeing that Tan Ji just drank water and stopped talking, Sheng Jiaojiao sat up straight, waved her hands, and said:
"Don't worry, your head will always be there, always, so don't worry, say goodbye, find a good girl, and from now on, you have to treat yourself better."

Tan Ji looked at Sheng Jiaojiao, what she said had no grievances, as if she regarded him as one of her own.

Not a brother, not a friend, but one of our own.

He opened his mouth, with his sword eyebrows slightly raised, as if he was thinking and just about to speak.

Sheng Jiaojiao suddenly moved closer to him, with her arms wrapped around her knees, her face smiling like a flower,

"Tan Ji, you deserve a good girl."

These words moved Tan Ji's heart, and because he was drunk that day, the little affection he had when facing Sheng Jiaojiao suddenly came back.

He slowly frowned, looking at Sheng Jiaojiao with his dark eyes.

He has a sharper intuition than the average soldier, but all intuitions have a source.

Whether a person is good or evil, whether he can get along with him or not, and what purpose he has for him, Tan Ji can tell at a glance.

Only his intuition towards Sheng Jiaojiao has no source.

From the very beginning, she made it clear that he was on her side.

He must obey her and not betray her. When she gave him something, she never thought that she would get any reward in return, just like a carefully selected reward for him.

Whatever he did for her, she took it for granted, and even though she said thank you on the surface, she was never grateful from the bottom of her heart, as if he did things for her, it was justified.

But she was very kind to him, and she thought of him first and then Qi Zhang in everything.

For example, she gave it to him, but not to Qi Zhang, the book that recorded the secrets of the customs and customs of the country and the royal family.

She is protecting him, like a layer of protection, because she believes that Tan Ji can protect Qi Zhang.

Why is this happening?

Even the way she looked at him was pure yearning.

Tan Ji was a little puzzled.

She wishes him well, this arrogant and willful girl, expects him to live well?
"Jiao Niang, you let me." When you say kiss, do you mean you?

Tan Ji hesitated to say this, before finishing a sentence, he swallowed the words again when he saw Sheng Jiaojiao's eyes.

He didn't forget her domineering and arrogance, the incident with Niu Ju last time had already made her very unhappy, if he really wanted to talk about kissing, if she wasn't the first choice, she might be angry with him again.

Yes, she said that he deserves a good girl, but in the eyes of a proud and self-confident person like Sheng Jiaojiao, who else in this world is better than her?

Jiao Niang was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, she is different from ordinary women, it is great to be able to marry her as a wife.

But if he really came to propose marriage to her, would she respond?
Tan Ji lost his mind for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, his scalp felt numb and he didn't dare to continue talking.

He was afraid that if he asked the question too bluntly, he would annoy her again.

He was really scared of her.

"What, you don't finish talking."

Sheng Jiaojiao glanced at Tan Ji and said a word, seeing the way he pursed his lips, he knew that he didn't want to say any more.

So Sheng Jiaojiao could only stand up,

"Okay, you will chop these, these, into such long and short wooden strips later, and I will go find a book to read."

She gestured, feeling that sitting was boring, Tan Ji was always like a saw-mouthed gourd, unable to talk at all.

He simply went back to his room, found a book, sat on the tree stump, and waited for Tan Ji to finish his work while reading.

Tan Ji wanted to laugh at the obvious appearance that day.

He didn't bother her with her reading, and just stood aside two or three times, whittling the split wood into the shape she wanted.

The tree shadow above his head was swaying in the sunlight, he slowly stopped the knife in his hand, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Sheng Jiaojiao's demure profile reading a book.

There was a dark green tree shadow shaking slightly on her face. She raised her other hand and turned a page of the book with her white and tender fingertips.

Unknowingly, Tan Ji watched Sheng Jiaojiao like this for a long time.

She didn't notice it all the time, and her attention was all on the scroll in her hand.

I heard from Qi Zhang that when he became a general in the future, he wanted to build a school for his sister Jiao Jiaoer.

It must be built. A woman like Sheng Jiaojiao who likes to read should stay in such a place, be with the scrolls every day, live a peaceful and far-reaching life, and not be polluted by any worldly turbidity.

Tan Ji thought to himself, if he has the ability in the future, he should do his best for Sheng Jiaojiao's school.

Isn't Haoerlang defending his family and defending his country with blood on the battlefield just to create a peaceful and peaceful pure land where he can live with self-respect and self-respect for such a woman?

"Sister!"

Qi Rong's voice broke into the forest recklessly, Sheng Jiaojiao was startled, put down the scroll in her hand, and turned her head to look in the direction of the voice.

Tan Ji frowned slightly, picked up the knife in his hand again, and cut the wood.

Qi Rong's figure ran down from the soil slope behind the forest, got into the sparse forest, and said out of breath:

"Sister, I have bought mules and said they will deliver them to our door in the evening. There are five mules in total at this price."

He raised a few fingers and looked at Tan Ji again,
"Brother Ji."

Tan Ji nodded, put down the wooden strip that had been cut in his hand, looked at Sheng Jiaojiao again, and said:

"It's all done. I'll go to the north of the county tomorrow. In the past few days, I've worked hard for you."

Sheng Jiaojiao smiled at Tan Ji, pursed her lips slightly, put her hands holding the scroll behind her back, and said softly:

"Triumphant return."

She knew what he was going to do in the north of the county.

Go get rich!
Tan Ji clasped his fists in both hands, and cupped his hands at Sheng Jiaojiao, his movements were short and neat, like a general's salute to others.

Qi Rong, who was standing behind Sheng Jiaojiao, returned a salute in place of Auntie, which was also short and neat.
