Chapter 24 It's Ridiculous
The garrison barracks at the junction of Dongling Kingdom's west border and Xicang.

At noon, the summer sun was fierce.Although a sunshade was built, the fierce temperature still made the gatekeepers a little unbearable in the sun.After wiping off his sweat, an older soldier glanced around and found nothing unusual, so he breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with the young soldier who was still guarding the gate tremblingly.

"Hey, did you hear about that last night?"

The young soldier gave the old soldier a sideways look, disdainful of his laziness.Without answering his words, the young soldier still stared straight ahead.

The veteran felt that the young soldier might not understand what he said, so he ignored him.So he spoke again, "You should have heard about General Han's return to camp yesterday morning."

"Hmm." It turned out that it was the gossip general's business. When the young soldier heard the old soldier's words, his serious face gradually wavered.Imagining Han Poli's always stern face in his mind, the young soldier moved slightly towards the veteran for a while.Whispering in his ear, the little soldier was afraid that someone would hear him, "I was on guard yesterday morning, and I saw it all."

Hearing that there were more details to dig out, the veteran felt that he gave the other gatekeepers standing opposite him a wink and asked them to watch for him, "What did you see? Is it really what they said, General Han?" Bring a child back?"

When the young soldier heard what the veteran said, embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face. "That's what I saw."

A look of pity suddenly appeared on the veteran's face, thinking that such a wise and powerful general like them, now...

He earnestly warned the young soldiers, "Although it is said that a man should start a family first and start a career later, if he is really dragged down by this, it is not a good thing. Don't say I didn't remind you, you young people must be careful in doing things , otherwise, if an unmarried child is born, it will be difficult to stop the rumors. With our general status, I am afraid that the child will be hurt in the end. In a special family, the most important thing is the distinction between the concubine and the concubine."

What he said made the young soldier a little confused. He didn't understand why the veteran's expression suddenly changed, "But General Han didn't say that the child was his, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say this now."

"What do you know! If it wasn't your own child, he would eat and live in the same tent, and even walk around in the barracks?" The veteran said with a white look at the young soldier. "Now the entire military camp is talking about this matter. Although the identity of the child has not been confirmed, I guess it is almost the same."

After the veteran said these words to the young soldiers, he clenched the weapon in his hand and continued to stand guard.It was as if he wasn't the one who started the gossip first.

On the contrary, it was the young soldier, who was frightened and froze in place when he heard what the veteran said.He never thought that General Han would be a strict father, and his son would be brought to the barracks for exercise at such a young age.Well, I don't know how old General Han was when he entered the barracks.

Although the white tent is not much different from other tents, as long as you walk into the barracks, you can see its special features with your own eyes.

People sitting inside cannot hear the gossip outside.As the gossip protagonist, Han Poli was sitting on a low table with Xia Zhi, posing as if sipping tea carefully.Behind the curling smoke, there is still a man as gentle as jade sitting.

Su Zijin raised his eyes slightly, saw Han Poli drinking another cup of tea, and paused.He smiled silently, and then looked at Xia Zhi who was sitting next to him. Compared with Han Poli, this child was much more elegant, at least he didn't waste his tea.

"You said that you saw blood red before you fell into a coma. So you are suspecting that the team that followed you out were all dealt with by Vice General Chen?" Because Han Poli had already indicated that there was no need to avoid Xia Xia when he spoke. Hoven, so Su Zijin repeated what Han Poli said before pouring out the next tea.

Xia Zhi held the teacup and sat silently on the side.Even though she heard that the two might be talking about important secrets, Xia Zhi's expression remained unchanged.

Han Poli frowned, somewhat resisting Su Zijin's summary for himself, but he couldn't refute it.However, when it comes to conspiracy issues, he is indeed not as good as a military division. "If he really did it, how could Vice General Chen dare to go back to the barracks alone?"

"You came back alone." Su Zijin slightly raised his eyes, and when he saw Xia Zhi's figure, he added, "The only difference is that you brought a military doctor and a child with you."

Xia Zhi paused while drinking tea, and pursed her lips in silence.

"It's not the same. Mr. Fang was invited by General Chang, and I just dropped by. As for Deputy General Chen, the words he gave when he came back were unconvincing." Han Poli shook his head, his focus was only It was on Deputy General Chen's body, so he didn't hear what Su Zijin meant.

When the general could not be found, Deputy General Chen and his party encountered the spies buried in Dongling of the Xicang Kingdom.In the end, the other young generals used their lives to cover Vice General Chen's return to the camp. The purpose was to let him remind General Chang in time that there were spies in the camp.Otherwise, their team, which was secretly dispatched to carry out missions, would not have been wiped out so quickly.

Su Zijin raised the corners of his lips slightly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. "These words he said were nothing more than a breach of trust between you and General Chang. Ever since the imperial decree this year that you were only in charge of Fuhu Camp, and the other things were handed over to General Chang, the atmosphere in the barracks has been tense. It has changed. Everyone has become impetuous."

Xia Zhi sniffed, the hot tea made her want to sneeze.Especially after listening to the entire conversation between the two, Xia Zhi smelled a hint of danger in it.

Decree, demote, spy?

She was very curious about this General Chang who temporarily led troops out for training.

Han Poli didn't see Xia Zhi's abnormality, but when he heard Su Zijin mentioning the imperial decree, a look of disdain appeared on his face, "Only people like them value military power so much. In this barracks, only Fuhu Camp is where the real elites are. When it comes to combat effectiveness, you don’t want too much.”

It sounded like a very conceited statement, but Su Zijin and Han Poli looked at each other and smiled, with a flash of unclear meaning in his eyes.

When the water boiled, he poured the boiling water into the pot, shook it, and then slowly filled up the teacup in front of Han Poli, and Su Zijin didn't even miss Xia Zhi's cup.

Seeing Su Zijin's flowing movements, Xia Zhi finally moved her gaze upwards.His eyes were fixed on Han Po's sharp-edged side face.

"What are you always staring at me for?" Han Poli noticed Xia Zhi's gaze, he was stunned for a moment, his lips curled up, and asked softly.

It's been a long time since I heard Han Poli speak in such a gentle voice, and Su Zijin showed a theater-watching smile on his face.Unexpectedly, a person who usually only speaks in a loud voice would have such a gentle side, which really made him very uncomfortable.

"Your injury is healed." In fact, Xia Zhi was just bored and only had eyesight on Han Poli.It was only when he turned his head that Xia Zhi saw the scar on his forehead that was still there this morning, but now it has healed.

It turned out that Xia Zhi was looking at this, and Han Poli put his big hand on Xia Zhi's head, but didn't say anything.He has already learned from Mr. Fang that Xia Zhi will have clairvoyance from time to time, so he needs to practice his eyesight frequently to recover that special ability.

"Our wise and mighty general, do you know that since you brought her back, there have been discussions outside? So why don't you first reveal to me a little bit about the identity of this little doll, for example, are you and her What's the relationship?" Su Zijin felt very curious when he saw the involuntary connivance in Han Poli's eyes.What kind of identity does this child have that made Han Poli take her everywhere without avoiding suspicion.

Xia Zhi quietly moved towards Han Poli's direction.She felt that sitting too close to Su Zijin would be dangerous, and it was safer to be with Han Poli.

"Mr. Fang's apprentice, didn't I tell you earlier." Han Poli didn't know where Su Zijin's teasing meaning to him came from. Su Zijin is usually very shrewd, why would he ask such a question today? A question for which the answer is already known.

"Mr. Fang's apprentice, what are you doing all the time following you instead of staying at the military doctor's office?" Of course Su Zijin knew Xia Zhi's superficial identity, but he was curious about why Han Poli was so kind to Xia Zhi. "It has been rumored that she is your child. Don't say you don't know, this is really tricky. Well, if it is really your child, you are twenty now, and she is seven years old, then this child is you13 I got it when I was young. General, you are so powerful, I admire you.”

Listening to Su Zijin's ridicule, Han Poli's face became darker and darker, and finally he became serious, as if he wanted to solve Su Zijin by force. "Don't talk nonsense."

Su Zijin raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Han Poli to be so tight-lipped this time, no matter what he said, he didn't reveal any news to him.Then he turned his attention to the little one. "It's better for you to tell me, what is the relationship between you and why do you have to stick together all the time?"

Xia Zhi glanced at Han Poli, then at Su Zijin, and finally answered him in silence.

In fact, Xia Zhi had already reached a consensus with Han Lili in private, and they wanted to temporarily conceal the matter of the National Fortune Stone.Don't make any plans until Fang Yinhan finds a solution.

The big one was tight-lipped, and the small one refused to reveal anything. Su Zijin shook his head helplessly, and stopped gossiping.

There was silence in the tent, but it was quickly broken by the sound of steady footsteps.A soldier in white armor stood outside the door, speaking anxiously.

"General, there is something urgent to report."

"Say." Han Poli put away his face, and looked at Su Zijin with an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Something happened at Fuhu Camp."
