Brother Wanfu

Chapter 75 Autumn
The situation has undergone some unknown changes because of this battle.

The four of them discussed in the tent for a while, and then Qin Shen summoned several generals he had promoted to talk about the gains and losses of this battle.

It's getting late, the war has already begun, and the war may start at any time, Qin Shen told everyone to take the time to rest, even if they rest, they can't slack off their guard.

He returned to his tent after giving his own instructions. As soon as he entered the tent, he heard that one of the generals followed him to see him.

This man's surname is Jin, and his single name is Yao. He is only fifteen or sixteen years old. When the Suzheng Army first raised the flag to rebel, Jin Yao followed his father, Jin Yuanming, and joined the Suzheng Army.

The Jin family was originally a master of martial arts, but by the time Jin Yuanming's generation had long since declined, he opened a martial arts gym to make a living. He didn't want to be alone, but Jin Yao was a rare young man who learned martial arts. The father tried many times to send him to join the army, but unfortunately he was blocked by his official status, so he couldn't succeed, and he was also stolen by those corrupt officials for nothing.

This time, the government did a lot of injustice in Yanzhou, causing the people to rebel, and the Jin family and his son followed suit without saying a word.

The father and son of the Jin family know martial arts, and Jin Yuanming also likes to study the art of war. At the beginning, he put in a lot of effort to capture the government, and was promoted by Qin Shen as a general. Unfortunately, Jin Yuanming was getting old and fell from his horse during training. His life was in danger, but he broke his leg and couldn't ride a horse for two or three months.

The war was imminent, Qin Shen wanted to choose another general, but when he heard Jin Yao recommended himself.

He carefully questioned him about the principles of formation and formation, and tested his horse-handling skills. Unexpectedly, he was not inferior to his father, and even had a lot of spirituality. Qin Shen appreciated him and promoted him to his side. .

Jin Yao performed well in this first real contest with the imperial army. Qin Shen changed his formation many times temporarily, and Jin Yao was able to keep up immediately.

He would invite to see him now, Qin Shen sent someone to pass him in without thinking too much.

Qin Shen folded his arms in front of the map, and when he saw Jin Yao coming in, he asked.

"What's the matter?"

Jin Yao glanced left and right, and when Qin Shen saw this, he sent everyone out.

"Okay, let's talk."

"General," Jin Yao lowered his voice, "The last general looked at the tactics of the court soldiers this time, and felt that the old General Zhang's use of troops was a bit subtle."

As soon as he said that, Qin Shen took a look at him.

"How subtle?"

Jin Yao was a little uncertain, "I always feel that the old general Zhang had a good chance to defeat us, but he stopped at the critical moment. Is it possible... Is it possible that the old general Zhang didn't really want to Hit us?"

After saying this, Qin Shen couldn't help but look at him twice more.

General Zhang did it cleverly. He didn't expect that the general he promoted, who was younger than him, could see it.

It really is a good seed full of spirituality.

Qin Shen secretly praised him.

But he didn't answer, just smiled lightly.

"Got it, go back."

"Eh?"

It was the first time Jin Yao heard the general's laughter, but when he looked, he only saw a beautiful and flawless silver mask.

But the meaning of the general under the mask has long been known?

Jin Yao scratched his head and realized again that the general's smile was actually a compliment to himself.

He was secretly happy, "Then the general will not bother the general!"

Qin Shen nodded with a smile, he saluted and retreated.

Unexpectedly, he had just walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped at the door, and then bent down to pick up something.

"This, this?"

Qin Shen looked and saw that he was holding a pearl earring in his hand.

Qin Shen paused slightly.

Seeing this, Jin Yao became embarrassed, "I didn't step on it on purpose."

After he said this, he heard the general's voice drop a bit.

"Put it aside and go down."

Jin Yao quickly put the earrings on the small table beside him, and left the tent.

After he left the tent, Qin Shen walked to the small table in front of the door.

The flawless pearl earrings fell to the ground and were stepped on again, dusty, very much like the gloomy look on the little girl's face when she turned and ran away.

He took off the mask and put it aside, picked up the pearl earring.

The chariots and horses escorting Qin Tian stopped at an inn on the way.

It was inconvenient for them to make a publicity about their party, so they kept things light and simple, and only Wei You was familiar with Qin Tian's side.

Seeing that the girl hadn't rested yet, Wei You found a piece of incense and came out.

"Is the girl tired? Would you like me to burn some incense for the girl?"

Qin Tian shook his head and asked him, "Is there any news about the battle between the Suzheng army and the imperial army?"

Wei You said no, "We're traveling very fast, and we don't know if the war is over yet, so we can't get word of it for a while. Girl, let's rest earlier."

In the morning, the girl was still secretly excited, but when she came back from the barracks, her expression dropped.

Wei You didn't know much about the little girl, so he could only guess that she was exhausted, and now he wanted to persuade her to rest earlier, when she suddenly heard her asking.

"General Wei, is my temper not very attractive?"

What is the problem?
Wei You was stunned by the question, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the girl had a serious face, and she really wanted to get an answer to this question.

"How is it possible?" Wei Youdao, "Your Excellency, Madam and Young Master all like girls so much, how could they not be liked?"

But the little girl still lowered her head.

"I used to think the same way, but now, I wonder whether I have acted too much by relying on the tolerance and gentleness of others, so that others will be bored."

It may be possible for this kind of thing to happen to other people, but Wei You thinks it is impossible for it to happen to a girl.

She looks cheerful and loves to laugh, but in fact she is cautious a lot of the time.

Maybe others can't see it, but Wei You lived under the fence for many years when he was a child, so he can clearly see this kind of care at a glance.

She didn't know why the girl suddenly thought this way, Wei You pondered for a moment.

"If you treat people with sincerity, you won't be hated even if you don't like them. On the contrary, people who treat people with some falsehood will only be seen through after a long time."

He called Qin Tian, ​​"Even the subordinates can see clearly how the girl treats others. How can she be hated by others if she is careless? Maybe it's just the girl's own illusion."

Delusion?
But that elder brother didn't want to see her at all.
Isn't that annoying?
Qin Tian became confused between yes and no.

Instead, Wei You saw guards approaching from Yanzhou not far away.

Qin Tian was still thinking about it, when he suddenly saw that Wei You had left and returned without knowing when.

Wei You had a happy expression on his face, "Girl, the Suzheng army and the imperial army have ceased fighting. Neither army suffered any major casualties. The Suzheng army was not defeated, and the young master is also safe!"

As soon as the words fell, the boulder hanging in Qin Tian's heart fell to the ground.

As for the things she couldn't figure out just now, they didn't seem to be that important anymore.

No matter what, she hoped that her brother-in-law would be well, and since that was the case, she had nothing to worry about with him.

"I'm not angry with you, I'm not an angry person anyway."

In her heart, she secretly comforted herself.

Suzheng barracks.

Since Fu Wen often went out with Qin Shen to do things, it was somewhat inconvenient for him to be afraid of being recognized when he came to the camp.

Now the close guard was replaced by Li Xiu who used to work in secret.

Now Li Xiu was guarding outside the tent, when he heard the young master in the tent calling him, he hurried in to listen to the order, but saw the young master was sitting cross-legged at the low table in the center of the tent, wiping something with a handkerchief.

The light was dim, he didn't see clearly what the young master was holding in his hand, but saw the young master kept his head down, wiping the object carefully, and whispered to him.

"Find a clean purse."

Li Xiu took the order and hurried down to get the purse, found a clean purse from time to time and returned to the camp.

He stepped forward to present it, only to find that what the Young Master was wiping was a pearl earring, emitting a faint white light.

The young master didn't say a word, but just took another look at the earring, and silently put the clean earring into his purse.

Li Xiu retreated, and the summer night was filled with fireworks overflowing from the vast land.

Qin Shen looked at the purse, took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Is he overreacting?
The rumors about the Princess of the Eastern Palace became more and more widespread, as if everyone was clamoring for the princess to be called out.

He always felt that at least judging from her age, it would not be her. After all, judging from her age, the former crown prince had passed away, so how could he leave an heir?

Kuang's father also said that she is the daughter of Ye Zhichen and Lu Wanying, and that she was brought up by Lu Wanying herself. Although her background is special, she will not become the princess in the rumors.

But for some reason, he had such a random dream, but when he woke up, his father sent her to the military camp.

Qin Shen still couldn't figure out how his father had such an arrangement.

What he couldn't imagine the most was what would happen if a timid little girl like her was suddenly pushed to the position of the long-awaited princess?

The herbs she likes to tend, the herbal diet she likes to specialize in, and the books and storytelling she often entertains, all the life that her calm temperament adapts to will disappear in an instant like water droplets under the scorching sun. up.

All that's left is heavy responsibilities, complicated situations and the danger of being targeted by the emperor...
At that time, he was disturbed and wished he could send her away quickly, so that she would be far away from all of this.

But right now, Qin Shen thought about it carefully, and felt that she should not be.

Maybe it was just an unintentional move by her father to send her here.
It's just that the way she walked away with red eyes appeared in front of his eyes again.

Qin Shen was silent for a while, then slowly put away the purse with the pearl earrings in it.

*
In the evening, Qin Tian realized that one of the pearl earrings was missing.

But this matter is not important, she got the reassuring news, and she returned to Qingzhou early the next morning.

Mrs. Qin didn't rest well for two nights, seeing that Qin Tian came back safe and sound, she hastily pulled her away.

"Nothing hit you, did it?"

Qin Tian didn't even say no, and couldn't help secretly comparing Mrs. Qin with that direct brother. Compared with his direct brother, Mrs. Qin treated her much more smoothly. After the misunderstanding was resolved, she has always treated her very well, unlike that direct brother. , making people confused.

She muttered to herself, but she still told Mrs. Qin about the battle that Su Zhengjun had just fought with the imperial army.

The news came faster than others, Mrs. Qin was very nervous between Qin Tian's words, but she laughed and shed tears when she heard the result.

There is nothing better than relatives who are out in the field, not injured, safe and sound.

At noon the next day, Mrs. Qin called Qin Tian to go to the largest Qingyu Temple in Qingzhou and burn three sticks of peace incense.

The sweltering summer is gradually passing, and the wind is blowing from the north with traces of coolness.

In a blink of an eye, the weather has entered autumn amidst the constant news from the western battlefield.

　good night
