Zhao Dangshi saw that he was not amazing and depressed, but his words and deeds revealed unusual self-confidence, and he was full of interest at the moment, and his mind flashed, as if he had some impressions of the name "Gu Junen" in his mind, and said warmly: "I am Zhao Dangshi, what is the opinion of Mr., Zhao listens." As the chief soldier, he is one of the best military leaders in northern Chu, and it is very difficult to talk to this poor and sour leader of unknown origin in front of him so kindly, and several soldiers around him have already shown disgruntle.

But Gu Junen seemed to be unconscious, not only that, he stretched his waist, yawned a lot, and then hugged his arms tightly, wrapped himself in a circle, and said tremblingly: "This, it's so cold here, I, I ......" Before the words were finished, a sneeze suddenly burst out, and the spittle Xingzi almost scattered Zhao Dangshi's face.

Rao is Zhao Dangshi's cultivation is good, and he can't help but sink at this moment.

"How dare a slut tease the lord!" The soldiers on the left and right were furious, Hou Dagui had a violent temper and immediately scolded, and he stepped forward to arrest Gu Junen as soon as he gave the order.

Seeing that the soldiers were about to bully Gu Junen, Zhao Dangshi caught a glimpse of Gu Junen's gaze in an instant. Those eyes were blazing and extremely sharp, and they were as good as the state of its owner. That look seemed to contain endless expectations and words, more like a grappling hook, which attracted Zhao Dangshi.

"Wait!" In the midst of lightning, Zhao Dangshi changed his mind. He turned the shoulders of the soldier in front of him, approached Gu Junen, looked at him silently for a while, and then took off the mink velvet wrapped around him, personally put it on for Gu Junen, and asked, "Is Mr. Gu still cold?" ”

This move shocked everyone present. The soldiers who wanted to take Gu Junen were dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe that the scene in front of them was real: Zhao Dangshi, who was the lord of the first army, would actually put on his winter coat to a stinky and hard beggar.

While they were surprised, their eyes were fixed on the patron Jun En to see what else he was doing. I didn't want Gu Junen to look calm, and he didn't mess up at all, but just lightly thanked Zhao Dangshi and said, "It's better, thank you Mr. Zhao." ”

Zhao Dangshi continued: "This is not a place to talk, if you don't dislike it, sir, please follow me back to the house to talk about it." ”

Gu Junen nodded expressionlessly, and said with a big grin: "That relationship is good, please lead the way." So under the amazed gaze of Hou Dagui, Han Gon and the soldiers at the head of the city, the two went down the city together.

Gu Junen couldn't ride a horse, so Zhao Dangshi called a carriage, worked as a groom himself, and brought Gu Junen to his home.

Lian Zhi had just returned to Zhao Dangshi's house, and before she could clean up, she heard that Zhao Dangshi had brought guests and hurriedly came out to greet her. As soon as I looked at him, I couldn't help but be stunned. In front of him, his master was only wearing a shirt, and his face was bruised from the cold, and the mink wool that he used to keep out the cold that was given by the Xiangwang Mansion and purchased from the merchants of Liaodong was actually put on a stranger's body at this time, and then looked at the stranger, who looked miserable like a homeless person.

Zhao Dangshi didn't say much to her, and directly instructed the maid in the house: "Lead this gentleman to wipe his body first and change into warm winter clothes." By the way, prepare some more food, and I'll eat with this gentleman later. ”

The little guys couldn't figure out where this withered man came from, and seeing that Zhao Dangshi valued him, they didn't dare to say anything, and took Gu Junen to wipe his body clean. Gu Junen was also at ease when he came, and he didn't have anything else to say, so he followed the little guys.

When they walked away, Lian Zhi followed Zhao Dangshi into the inner room, groped for a leather jacket, put it on Zhao Dangshi, frowned slightly, and said earnestly: "This winter, Daddy is afraid not to freeze!" ”

Zhao Dangshi rubbed his hands, didn't speak, turned around and walked to the stove and sat down, a wave of heat spread from Zhao Dangshi's baked palm to his whole body, indescribably comfortable and comfortable. He stared at the red-hot charcoal fire in front of him and muttered, "That person may be the one who is removing the cold flames from Fan Hecheng." ”

After changing clothes and eating again, Zhao Dangshi took Gu Junen to the study. He had remembered some things about this man, and knew that he was anything but simple.

Retreated left and right, closed the door, and only two people were left in the study to sit opposite each other. At this time, Zhao Dangshi suddenly found that the Gu Junen sitting in front of him was no longer the decadent person he was when they met, but was replaced by a personable Confucian.

"If it's true, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold." Zhao Dangshi smiled secretly in his heart, but he was a little more interested in this Gu Junen, who had changed his appearance.

"Sir, is the food still palatable?" Zhao Dangshi first asked tentatively.

Gu Junen shook his head slightly, just when Zhao Dangshi thought he was dissatisfied, he said: "Born in troubled times, human life is like grass mustard, if you can eat enough, you know that you are satisfied, how dare you talk about whether you are happy or not." ”

Zhao Dangshi listened to his words and seemed to be worried about the country and the people, and asked: "The world is peaceful, only a few rogues are just clowns, and sooner or later they will perish, what is the troubled times?" ”

Gu Junen looked at Zhao Dangshi and said, "Since the Apocalypse, I have been in trouble both internally and externally for more than ten years. Regardless of the fact that the military leaders in Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang and other places do not respect the king's law and are unscrupulous, there was a chaos in Liaodong before, and then there was a civil uprising in Shaanxi, and now Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other giants are in chaos, and the world is full of smoke, how can they still hide their ears and eyes and whitewash the peace? ”

Seeing that Zhao Dangshi was silent, he continued: "Now the Zhu family is in danger of overturning, but none of the ministers in the court have put forward effective countermeasures, and all the emperors have the idea of getting by. ”

Zhao Dangshi heard that his words were well-founded, his logic was clear, and his knowledge was broad, so he nodded secretly: "I really have some ideas." He was overjoyed, but sighed in his mouth: "It's a pity that the general is just a small general soldier, and he has no chance to participate in military affairs, nor does he dare to think about those who have or not. ”

When Gu Junen heard what he said, a smile appeared on his face for no reason. That smile clearly revealed that he didn't believe Zhao Dangshi's words at all. Zhao Dangshi only felt that he saw through it, and he was embarrassed for a while, if it weren't for his thick skin, he was afraid that he would have blushed a little at this time.

"People go to high places and water flows to low places, whether the general soldier wants to or not now, the next fool doesn't know, but the next fool is sure, when it comes to that step, some things can't help but the general soldier doesn't want to." He said lightly, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water.

The speaker has no intention, but the hearer has the intention. Zhao Dangshi was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift to a few years ago, when he had just arrived, there was no way out, only relying on all kinds of rogue camps to be displaced, and the day was precarious, and all he hoped for was to be able to make a stable livelihood in this world. Who knows that the world is unpredictable, he first helped Li Zicheng kill Cao Wenzhao, and then led the crowd to defeat Qin Liangyu, defeated Gao Yingen and Zhukou until later, after countless battles, he went up step by step, so that now he has become the chief soldier of the imperial court of a province, and at the beginning of this fight, he didn't dare to think about it at all. Looking back and thinking about it, it really feels like a dream. However, having said that, this is also being said by Gu Jun's words, it is the goals that urge him to grow up slowly, even if he can't help himself many times.

Zhao Dangshi restrained his mind, pretended to be indifferent, and said: "As Mr. said, this road still has to be taken step by step." The situation in the world is changing, and we don't know what will happen tomorrow today, although our army is at present safe, but if we can't be vigilant in times of peace, there will always be times when things are bad. After finishing speaking, he swept his gaze towards Gu Junen.

Gu Junen didn't speak, but reached into his clothes, and caught a tick in a moment. He tightly twisted the tick with both hands, pressed it the side of the chair, only to hear a "pop", and the tick had been crushed by him. Zhao Dangshi frowned, puzzled, Gu Junen said to himself: "What Mr. Zhao said is extremely true. The rogue is small, so there is nothing to worry about. But if Zhao Ying wants to go further, it is a critical period. He spoke very lightly, as if he had already seen something.

Zhao Dangshi was waiting for his words, and said, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

Gu Junen suddenly felt a little strange, and asked, "Why don't you ask the chief soldier about the origin of the fool first?" ”

Zhao Dangshi said with a smile: "Mr. is strange and magnificent, informal, at a glance, you can know that he is a master in the long-hidden mountain, and he must have a full stomach, so why ask again." He was full of vain words, and he didn't even blink his eyelids. The reason why he didn't ask Gu Junen about his origin was because he already had some understanding of the memory of his previous life, and secondly, he had already guessed that he had come to sell his talents. Since you have the heart to take the initiative to take refuge in Zhao Ying, it is the same to ask early and late questions.

Gu Junen smiled at the top hat given by Zhao Dangshi, and said: "Xia Yu is not a master, just a few days ago, Xia Yu was still in prison. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Gu Junen seemed to have lost his earlier pride at this time, his eyes drooped, and he said in a low voice: "I can't hide it, the fool is the people of Zuo Jinchengtianfu, who has been committed to books since he was a child, looking forward to entering the government from the imperial examination. It was also a moment of pig blood, and when I heard that the 'Grim Eye' had been a soldier, I thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so I surrendered to it, hoping to ...... Ahem, don't say it. ”

When he said this, he secretly raised his eyes to look at Zhao Dangshi to see how he reacted. But seeing that Zhao Dangshi's face was as usual, and he did not change color suddenly because of his "black history", he calmed down a lot in his heart, and then said: "It's ridiculous that 'Grim Eye' is a reckless man after all, and the marching and fighting are all based on will, and the people he trusts are only a few old brothers." Xia Yu repeatedly made suggestions and suggestions, and he regarded them as the wind in his ears. Later, he was troublesome with the foolishness, and sent the foolish to the subordinates, who were really the same as him, and he was stubborn and self-serving. When the fool saw that it was useless in the end, he had the heart to break away. However, he was arrested and imprisoned. It is also the road of endless people, and a few soldiers have always befriended Xia Yu, so they secretly opened the gate of the village and let Xia Yu out. Only then did I have the opportunity to meet the chief soldier. "I heard that the recent repeated offenders of Fan Hecheng are the subordinates of He Yilong, and Gu Junen's move is similar to a defection.

I don't want this Gu Junen to have such an extraordinary experience, Zhao Dangshi's heart fluctuated, and he carefully examined his person, but he felt that his words were sincere, not like a fake, and secretly thought to himself: "He shook off the background and didn't seem to be a hypocrisy, and he said earlier that he had a plan to offer, I'm afraid it's not bragging." ”

Sibi, he said: "Mr. is very human, he can get out of the heavy deployment of the rogues, I Fan He, and I am more courageous than ordinary people. It's not too late to make amends, sir, rest assured, as long as you devote yourself to the official army and break the rogue, the confused accounts of the past will naturally be written off. ”

Gu Junen thanked and said: "Earlier, I heard that the general soldiers of Zhao in northern Chu were heroic, wise and brave, and the battalions of the Liukou had repeatedly defeated the commanders, and now they are even more famous. There was a lot of offense before the foolishness, and I hope that the general soldier Haihan. ”

Zhao Dangshi smiled and said, "Mr. has said it." It seems that after a few words, Gu Junen has already been a little convinced, and then we have to see if he has real materials.

Loyalty, Gu Junen himself also knows that the time has come to show his true value. The young general soldier in front of him is very patient and also needs his own help, as long as he can seize this opportunity to gamble, the bet is right, after many years of hard work, today is the day when he Gu Junen will turn over.
