When Yu Panxi woke up, Xiao Chumo was looking at her with a smile on his face, pinching a strand of broken hair from her ear in his hand and playing with it.

Thinking that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night last night, Yu Panxi couldn't help but snort and poked his hard chest: "Stay at home all day and don't go to the barracks, you are not very competent as a loyal general!" ”

Looking at her arrogant appearance, Xiao Chumo couldn't help pinching her nose affectionately, and said with a smile: "There are no major matters in the army at the moment, and the rest of the trivial matters will naturally be handled by a few lieutenants, and it is not necessary for me to sit in charge." ”

"Only you will stay at home all day, and the soldiers in the army will not complain?"

When he said the latter sentence, Yu Panxi couldn't help but be a little serious.

Although Xiao Chumo can and is willing to accompany her all day long, as a loyal and brave general, he will not go to the barracks for a few days, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will complain. In the army, the most taboo is not to work together, what if this is to lay the root cause for the future?

Sensing her worry, Xiao Chumo didn't take it seriously at all, but laughed: "How is it possible." Those soldiers are brothers who have been with me for so long, and many of them have even fought together from the battlefield. Even if I stay at home for another two days, no one will say anything. ”

Xiao Chumo had just finished speaking, and Yu Panxi saw him with such an indifferent attitude, and thought that he didn't take her words to heart. Just as he was about to speak to persuade him again, Chu Lu's voice suddenly came in from outside the door.

"General, are you up? Wei Gongzi came, saying that he was looking for you, and he was waiting in the front hall at this time. ”

There are many people surnamed Wei in Kyoto, and there may be only one person who comes to visit at this time. It was Wei Tingyan who had rumors with Yu Panxi some time ago.

Hearing the first voice, Yu Panxi smiled slyly, and looked at Xiao Chumo with some smugness: "Look, if you have complaints, isn't this coming." ”

Wei Tingyan is an errand boy in the army, but he also has some skills, and he has now been mixed up from the sixth rank flying cavalry captain. Regarding this point, Xiao Chumo had already said it when he introduced this cousin to Yu Panxi before.

Since the rumors were spread by Xiao Yuan'er and his cousin-in-law some time ago, Wei Tingyan has only been to Xiao's Mansion once because of this matter. I heard that he was later reprimanded by his own father, scolding him for not having a long heart, and he would be used by others, so he was confined.

Presumably, it's time to release it now.

It's just that although the previous rumors have gradually dissipated, with Wei Lun's temperament, it must be impossible to agree that his son came to the Xiao Mansion so quickly.

Wei Tingyan came over at this time, but he was afraid that there was something in the barracks, and he needed to discuss it with Xiao Chumo, the general.

Yu Panxi's joking words successfully made Xiao Chumo's face black and black.

He had just said that he was not needed in the barracks for the time being, and the soldiers would not complain about what he had not been going for a long time. But at this time, Wei Tingyan's arrival inevitably made him a little embarrassed.

It's just what Yu Panxi just thought, how could Xiao Chumo not guess it, so he had to get up and put on his robe in resignation. Moreover, even if Wei Tingyan didn't come here because of military affairs, he definitely didn't have a reason to hang his cousin in the front hall.

Yu Panxi watched him reluctantly get dressed and walk out the door, almost laughing on the bed. With Xiao Chumo's awkward temperament, it is estimated that she will not have a good face when she sees Wei Tingyan, so she can only say a word to the latter and ask for more blessings.

As Xiao Chumo went to the front hall to meet Wei Tingyan, seeing that the hour was not early, Yu Panxi naturally got up.

I don't know if it's because Xiao Chumo has been by his side for the past two days, which has given Yu Panxi a full sense of security in his heart. Obviously, her sleep was very light in the past, and she would wake up easily when she almost heard the slightest movement, but recently she often slept until three o'clock in the morning.

For their master's work and rest time, Yinling and Chulu quickly got used to it. As usual, Yu Panxi got up and freshened up, and brought the breakfast that had been made late in the kitchen.

Yu Panxi drank the fragrant glutinous millet porridge, and only felt that this life was very happy. If she could, she really wanted Xiao Chumo not to lead the troops to fight again, so she stayed with her all the time.

The courtyard here is quiet, but at this time, in Xiao Chumo's study, there is a full low pressure.

Because Wei Tingyan came over this time because there was something in the barracks, Xiao Chumo took him to the study.

It's just that the latter still remembers the things he embarrassed himself. As Yu Panxi guessed, from the beginning of the meeting, Xiao Chumo did not give him a good face.

Poor Wei Tingyan looked innocent, he didn't know what he had done wrong, and he annoyed his cousin again. After all, it would be almost noon in a short time, how could he have thought that he would still be early!

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

Xiao Chumo sat behind the bookcase and stared at Wei Tingyan. It's just that the cold eyes really made the latter tremble a little.

It's already spring, why does it still feel a little cold?

Wei Tingyan rubbed his arms, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, and then explained his intention to Xiao Chumo.

"Cousin, this matter really needs to be handled by you personally. Have you heard about the haunted house on the outskirts of Beijing recently? ”

"Yes. What's wrong with it? ”

Xiao Chumo nodded, his already bad mood became more and more irritable at the moment.

How is it a haunted house again. Yesterday, Xiao Yuan'er only mentioned what spirit talisman the ghost mansion came over to give him, and today Wei Tingyan ran to talk about it again. He almost wondered if the two men had done it on purpose.

Wei Tingyan saw that his face was very bad, and he also knew that his cousin had never believed in these things. But it's not like this when you mention it, right?

He didn't know about Xiao Yuan'er's visit to the Xiao Mansion yesterday, and he also knew that the imperial court had sent someone to investigate the ghost mansion. But what needs to be resolved now is not the rumor itself, but something else that has arisen from it.

"That haunted house has been spreading in Kyoto recently, and some people are panicking. At present, a wave of roving mountain bandits took a fancy to this opportunity, and simply set up camp on the hill near the house, specializing in robbing passers-by there. ”

From Wei Tingyan's next words, Xiao Chumo learned that the ghost mansion happened to be on a small road, and if the caravan wanted to save time and take a shortcut, it had to pass through there.
