Chapter 35: The Pain of Hunger and Cold
After hearing this, the general's beard raised slightly, and his cold face sank, showing signs that the mountain rain was coming, and he hurried to Lian Wuping to confirm the situation in person.
I saw that many third-grade sect leaders on the martial arts training floor were scattered to cultivate martial arts, but there was no trace of Zhou Jinmu......
The general's anger rose, and he hurried back to the study again, his face heavy as iron, his chest panting, and he sat heavily on the round chair.
Xue Baojing felt that the entire room exuded a feeling of depression that made it difficult to breathe.
At the same time, the general said angrily: "Jin'er, he is really disappointing!" β
After a lot of foreshadowing, the time is ripe!
Xue Baojing hurriedly stepped forward and said suspiciously: "I don't know if Jin'er is also hiding it from Guo Mei?" β
As soon as the general heard Guo Zhi's name, the promise she had sworn that day came to his mind...... It turned out to be just perfunctory, and it couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.
He said coldly and angrily: "Jin'er dares to do this, isn't it because her good mother is used to it!" β
Seeing that the general was so angry, Xue Baojing hurriedly persuaded the general to drink osmanthus soup first.
The general agreed, and after drinking, his anger gradually subsided.
He couldn't help but sigh and shake his head, and said in a deep voice: "Guo Zhixi was originally a princess, but now she uses all the sets used by her father and queen mother on Jin'er......"
"If Jin'er knew that it would be better to consciously introspect, it's a pity that Jin'er ...... Hey......"
The general stroked his chest and sighed, Xue Baojing took a thoughtful step forward and said, "I have a suggestion, I don't know if I can share the general's worries?" β
The general's brown eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "You have a good way to govern your family, so let's talk about it." β
Xue Baojing had a solemn face, his willow eyebrows were bent, and he slowly spoke: "In my opinion, Jin'er is not too young, it should be time for him to go to the army to exercise!" β
After hearing this, the general did feel that his mouth was suddenly opened.
He didn't want Jin'er to be exposed to war-related things with his other children too early, but at the same time, he really couldn't allow Jin'er to lose his mind like this!
He frowned, nodded slightly, held his brown hair, and said in agreement: "The discipline in the army is strict, and it will definitely change Jin'er's head." β
Xue Baojing took this opportunity and hurriedly asked, "I don't know which forbidden army the general thinks Jin'er is suitable for training?" β
The general slowly analyzed: "In the southwest of the outer city of Zhenhao, the White Tiger Army guarding the Royal Hunting Ground Feilin Yuan is not only far away from home, but also has some distance from the battlefield outside the Guan, so it can leave home and have no worries about life. β
Xue Baojing secretly thought in her heart, the place where the general wanted to exercise was really the same as she thought, although the defenders of the imperial city were close to the general's mansion, but the generals admired the general, and they couldn't help but let his son go, making the purpose of letting Zhou Jinmu go to the army to exercise in the first place invalidated......
Feilin Yuan guards the royal hunting ground, and now, before the autumn hunting time, the palace is empty, and the defenders don't have to worry about protecting the royal nobles......
Xue Baojing opened his lips again: "The general's preferred heir, is the eldest lady Zhou Huanchun going with you?" β
The general raised his silkworm eyebrows, squinted Danfeng slightly, and said with a smile: "How do you know that Huan'er is my intended heir?" β
"Huan'er, talented, martial arts, informal, has prestige and popularity in the General's Mansion, although she is a woman, the general should not hesitate to regard her as the heir."
"You are really understanding, do you want Huan'er to go to the barracks with you, let me think about it!"
Hearing the general's words, although Xue Baojing's face did not attack, he was secretly suspicious in his heart.
The general also thought about it.
Although Huan'er is a material that can be made, he has given her the task of comprehending "Wuji Wanxiang......
"Martial Extremes" is very important, it must not be casually displayed in front of people, and it must not be accidentally lost......
From this point of view, it is more secure for Huan'er to continue to stay in the General's Mansion to participate in the martial arts.
Besides, Huan'er has been demented for many years and rarely recovers, and he still wants to know more about his eldest daughter.
After thinking about it, the general closed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Although the doctor said that Huan'er has recovered from his dementia, after all, it has only been less than a month, and he hurried to the general's mansion. β
"Let's let her stay in the General's Mansion and continue to observe and observe!"
If Xue Baojing insisted on letting Zhou Huanchun go to the barracks in front of the general, it would be linked to the result of her assassinating Zhou Huanchun's death later, and it would be difficult to guarantee that the general would not suspect her.
Thinking like this, Xue Baojing didn't insist on anything, nodded hurriedly, and said yes again and again.
The general sighed: "Actually, I still haven't decided who to choose to inherit the General's Mansion, so let's let each of them continue their training." β
He turned back with a smile and whispered to Xue Baojing, "Including Fumei." β
Xue Baojing smiled and nodded hurriedly.
Then, she said with a straight face: "Then I will inform Guo Mei tomorrow and let her take care of everything." β
The general waved his hand, and said with a straight face: "I will personally tell Zhi Xi about this matter." β
Xue Baojing asked "incomprehensibly", "Why?" β
"Zhi'er has always doted on Jin'er, if you are the first to mention this matter to her, she loves her son, and she will inevitably have unnecessary resentment towards you, and then you act in the house, I am afraid that she will also suffer a lot of trouble."
"Madame doesn't need to mention it in front of people, you suggested that I let Jin'er go to the army to exercise, just say that everything is my idea."
Xue Baojing lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "The general's degree of thoughtfulness is still the same as before. β
The general said noncommittally: "I just hope that the inner courtyard of the house is stable and peaceful." β
After that, Xue Baojing returned to "Hao Hongzhai".
She sat on the round chair, her willow eyebrows were tired, her eyes were closed, her treasure was gloomy, and she swallowed orchids.
Zhou Fumei sat on the chair on the left under the middle hall, her eyes were wide, she looked at Xue Baojing puzzled, frowned and asked: "Mother, didn't my father say that he hadn't chosen an heir yet, and besides, he not only agreed to let the third brother go to the military camp for training, but also had high hopes for the third brother to enter the army......
"Zhou Huanchun was unable to enter the barracks with his third brother due to his unstable condition."
"This is a happy thing, why is my mother still worried?"
Why are you still worried?
Because Zhou Huanchun didn't leave the General's Mansion, she couldn't arrange for the assassin to end Zhou Huanchun's life on the way!
Xue Baojing slowly opened and closed her eyes, her eyes stared ahead for a moment, she breathed out the orchid fragrance, and said with a slight opening of her red lips: "I always have a hunch that the general didn't let her go to the barracks because he gave her a more important task!" β
"A task that none of us know or understand......"
Seeing that Xue Baojing seemed to be in a bad mood, Zhou Fumei couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart.
She covered her body, lowered her eyebrows, owed slightly to Xue Baojing, and said in a delicate voice: "It's Fu'er I'm sorry for my mother, I have lacked wisdom since I was a child, and I can't win glory for my mother......"
Xue Baojing waved his hand, signaling that Zhou Fumei didn't have to say any more.
She clasped her hands, her face was as calm as a bottomless well, and she said slowly: "Everyone has their own aspects that they are good at and what they are not good at, you don't have to be arrogant, I don't have to hate iron and steel." β
She bent her willow eyebrows, and looked at Zhou Fumei with happy eyes.
"Your mother has already realized your heart, and at the same time, your mother also wants you to know that no matter how much ability you have, you will always be the little daughter who needs your mother's care and protection in your mother's eyes!"
Zhou Fumei's heart warmed instantly, her nose was sour, she blinked frequently, and nodded again and again.
Xue Baojing twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, closed his eyes again, and thought secretly in his heart.
After that, she had to make good use of her chips, and if she missed, she would die and continue to wait for her opportunity.
β¦β¦
The next morning, the general went to "Yuli Xuan" to talk to Guo Zhixi about Zhou Jinmu's trial in the camp.
On the first day of Guo Zhi's attack on the general's next dynasty, she came to her "Yuli Xuan" and couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly beckoned the general to sit down and eat snacks.
The general sat down in a deep voice, and then asked Guo Zhixian next to him, "It's not too early now, where has Jin'er gone?" Why haven't I seen him all the way? β
Guo Zhi attacked Danfeng like silk, touched her lips and chuckled, at the same time, she covered her face with a fan, secretly glanced at the inner room as if worried, and quickly withdrew her gaze, and said to the general in a soft voice: "Jin'er has gone to practice martial arts in the early morning, although he has lost the "Tianbi Yu Xuan", but he still concentrates on studying martial arts, and strives to create a new style, I can't stop that momentum!" β
The general had a calm face, his eyebrows curled in anger, and he exhaled a deep haze......
"I won't beat around the bush with you, you listen, I'm from Lian Wuping......"
Hearing the general's words, Guo Zhixi's hand holding the mung bean cake trembled slightly, his mouth opened slightly, and the whole person was stunned on the chair, and the scene was embarrassing for a while.
The general squinted at Guo Zhixian, and was coldly angry, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Where is Jin'er!" β
Guo Zhixun was shocked by anger, and the mung bean cake fell to the ground.
Her face became very ugly, her willow eyebrows frowned, and she said in a slurred voice, "He...... I was too tired yesterday...... Right now...... Also resting in the room. β
"Then I, as a father, must visit and care for it!"
Guo Zhixun was afraid that the general would go up to watch, so he hurriedly pulled the general's hand and said, "General, slow ......"
The general shook his hand coldly, calmed down for a while, and said slowly: "I want Jin'er to go to the White Tiger Army in Feilin Yuan to try. β
When Guo Zhixun heard this, she suddenly felt lightning strike, and the next moment her whole face collapsed, and after a while, she clutched her handkerchief tightly, and the pear blossom cried with rain: "General, what are you talking about?" Jin'er only made a slight mistake and occasionally slept lazily......"
"The food and clothing in the barracks are so simple, Jin'er feels the pain of hunger and cold, and she must not concentrate on martial arts!"
The general stood firm and said slowly: "'The heavenly general is entrusted to the people, and he will definitely suffer his mind and strain his muscles and bones'......"
"Now, he indulges in lust every day, and when he has to take on a big responsibility in the future, is it too late to hold on to his feet when he comes?"
"It's not that you don't know the military attachΓ© of the Han Clan, you are not higher than the Shi clan, you can't enjoy the inheritance of official titles, if you don't have military merits, the Zhou General's Mansion will only have one way to decline in the end."
Guo Zhixun listened to the general's words and seemed to have the meaning of cultivation, and couldn't help but secretly think that entering the military camp for training can familiarize him with military affairs and win the hearts of the soldiers.
Taking the lead in contacting the military merit camp is extremely beneficial to Jin'er's future.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhixi frowned slightly, picked up a handkerchief and wiped her tears.
She nodded slightly and said, "I understand what the general means, and I will definitely let Jin'er accept the general's hard work." β
The general nodded in satisfaction.
β¦β¦
At the beginning of the day, the moonlight is hazy.
Guo Zhixi and Zhou Jinmu shared dinner together in the "Lixiang Hall".
Guo Zhixi added food to Zhou Jinmu on the one hand, and informed Zhou Jinmu about entering the camp on the other hand.
Zhou Jinmu heard this, his eyes widened, he clenched the tablecloth, his muscles burst out, and he gritted his teeth and attacked Guo Zhi: "Mother, you ...... Do you know what you're doing? β
"Why did you want me to suffer in the army?"
Guo Zhisheng stepped forward and patted Zhou Jinmu on the shoulder, and persuaded bitterly: "Jin'er, calm down first and listen to what your mother said!" Mother does this for your own good! β
"If this matter is not good for you, then your mother will not agree to it! Do you understand! β
