Chapter 204: The General Retained
The general was worried about the safety of the border passes, and when he thought of the lethality of the new weapon after it came out, he attached even more importance to Ji Wenchen and Su Qiqi.
But Ji Wenchen thought that if they solved the trouble of the city wall again, the general would definitely be able to let himself and his daughter-in-law go back to their hometown.
After General Li finished speaking, Ji Wenchen stepped forward: "General, the villain has something to report!" ”
General Li's eyes lit up when he heard Ji Wenchen's voice, and he looked at the military advisor in a blink of an eye, and the expression on his face, if Su Qiqi saw it, it would be absolutely obscene.
Looking at the refreshed brother, General Li smiled knowingly: "General Ji, just say something!" ”
Ji Wenchen clenched his fists with both hands and said: "General, what the military advisor said just now about strengthening the city wall, his subordinates have something to do!" ”
"Oh? Do you have a good plan to join the army? General Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at him excitedly and asked. These two brothers, no, two husbands and wives, always have unexpected surprises.
With so many people in the council chamber, it didn't seem appropriate to say his daughter-in-law's name directly, and this kind of thing couldn't let too many people know.
Ji Wenchen looked at the more than 20 people in the hall and said in embarrassment: "General, can you allow your subordinates to report in private?" ”
General Li knew in his heart that Ji Wenchen's plan was to be kept secret, so he loudly agreed: "If you have something to do, hurry back, and if you have nothing to do, you will stop today!" ”
Everyone knew that the general had something important to discuss with Ji Senjun, so they simply reported the situation in their hands and then retreated, and General Li saw everyone going out and immediately said to Ji Wenchen: "Brother Ji, let's talk in the study!" ”
As soon as this person dispersed, General Li even changed his title.
Ji Wenchen immediately invited: "General, can you invite the military advisor to go with you?" ”
Since the military division is going in together, it means that it is really a good strategy. General Li immediately raised his hand: "There is a labor division to listen to Brother Ji's strategy!" ”
After a while, there was a "bang" in the study: "Brother Ji, what you said is the truth?" Does it really work so well? ”
Although he knew that the general would be shocked, but his boss was a veteran general, Ji Wenchen did not expect that General Li would be so excited that he would knock down the table.
Of course, Ji Wenchen also understands the reason for General Li's excitement: There is no one in the world who is a general who does not keep the safety of the people at the border pass in mind. Unless it's the kind of bad guy who has a wolf's heart and lungs, loses his conscience, and comes to the border to sell his reputation.
Seeing that the general was so excited, Ji Wenchen said solemnly: "General, this is a matter of the safety of the lives of the people on the border, how dare your subordinates talk nonsense here?" My brother and I have tried this method many times before, and we have built a bridge in Zhangjiawan, you can send someone to investigate! ”
For this subordinate of his own, how can General Li not believe it? For so many years, I have been taking him with me because I know his loyalty.
General Li immediately waved his hand: "No, no, Brother Ji's words, General Ben will never doubt it, I was too excited just now, that's why I'm so excited!" Strategist, tell me, if this thing can be run in the city, isn't it another big thing for the benefit of the country and the people? ”
After listening to Ji Wenchen's oar-making method, the military advisor was also surprised. After listening to the general's questioning, he immediately replied: "The general is right, if this thing can really be done, the general will make a great contribution!" ”
General Li shook his head and said: "Li didn't think of merit, as long as the safety of the people can be guaranteed, even if the court doesn't reward Li for anything, it's nothing, this is actually the credit of Brother Ji!" Brother Ji, just mention any reward you want, brother, I will definitely report it to you! ”
Ji Wenchen shook his head and said: "General, my subordinates don't want any rewards, but after the city is built, if the general's requirements are really met, please allow Chen to leave the barracks and return to his hometown!" ”
"What? You're leaving? Isn't it good here? General Li asked puzzled.
Ji Wenchen shook his head and said, "No! General, follow you, Chen is very happy! It's just that my brother is homesick, and she is not used to here, so I want to take her back to my hometown! ”
Can he let such a person go? General Li was genuinely reluctant. So he turned his eyes to look at Liu Junshi, hoping that he could persuade Ji Wenchen.
But Liu Junshi shook his head gently.
For this man, who is also a friend and a subordinate, General Li is sincerely reluctant: "Do you really want to go back to your hometown to be a craftsman?" You're not going to wait for me to change guards and go back to the capital, and you're not going to go back to the Ji family? ”
Hearing the general mention the Ji family, Ji Wenchen's heart was very complicated. Although he is only a small five-grade official, he lives a simple and happy life. Although the Ji family has a lot of money, the Ji family is too annoying, between relatives, you calculate me, I count you, and when you fall asleep at night, you have to think about how to calculate people, so that you will not be calculated.
And he doesn't have to rely on the blessing of the Ji family, nor does he have to rely on the property of the Ji family. Even if he loses his official position in the future, but with Qiqi by his side, what is he not enough? Especially after remembering that he received a letter from his cousin not long ago, Ji Wenchen didn't think much about returning to Ji's house!
Thinking of being away for decades, when he was powerless to communicate with the Ji family, when his father came to the door and they didn't recognize him, Ji Wenchen felt sad. But when the Ji family was in trouble, Mrs. Ji spared no effort to inquire about herself, and when she learned that she had the ability to settle the affairs of the Ji family, and personally came to the border to ask for help, he only despised the Ji family.
The old lady said nicely, the Ji family is their brother's.
But over the years, his uncle has been living on that mountain, even if he is a concubine, he is also the blood of the Ji family. And Old Lady Ji didn't even mention it, how could he go back to the Ji family like this?
In fact, now the Ji family is giving him the entire Ji family Ji Wenchen, and he doesn't want to carry such a big burden. He didn't want to be alone before, but now he still has the woman he loves, how can he be willing to take her to that place to suffer? The daughter-in-law who grew up in the field wants to live a free life.
He wouldn't take her back to Ji's house, their home was just him, her and their children. The genealogy of the Ji family will be rewritten from his grandfather's generation!
Thinking of this, Ji Wenchen nodded solemnly and said, "Well, I think it's still familiar and easy to be an old business!" After so many years of traveling, I want to return to my hometown to accompany my daughter-in-law. General, you also know that there are too many rules in the family, and my daughter-in-law can't adapt to it. Moreover, there is too little human touch, there are too many intrigues, we don't want to live like that, I have always thought that an ordinary life is what Chen wants! ”
