Twenty-four showdowns
……
Facing Jiang Xun's imposing questioning, Chen's mother said timidly: "My lord, I was greedy for a while, and I was suffocated by lard, and abandoned the child in the wilderness and in a mountain forest......
Jiang Xun hurriedly asked again: "Which mountain forest is it?" Do you remember?"
Mother Chen shook her head: "I don't know about this?" I rarely go to Suzhou City, so I just found a piece of forest and left the child there, and the adults forgive ......"
Jiang Xun kept thinking in his mind when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Liu Ce, who was playing with Jiang Xun on the side, frowned, sighed and continued to ask, "Do you really not remember?" ”
Mother Chen shook her head: "My lord, it's been twenty years, and it's been many years since our husband and wife left Jiangnan, and we can't remember it anymore...... My lord, can you spare my son?"
At this time, Liu Ce said: "Don't worry, your son will not die for his crimes, and he will be released in two or three years at most, and your parents don't know how to discipline their children well, see what has become of them." At the same time, I promise to make your son's life "comfortable" in the past two or three years.
Father Chen and Mother Chen immediately kowtowed to Liu Ce when they heard this, and from the situation just now, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that this young man was the one who could really call the shots here.
After Chen's father and Chen's mother retreated, Zifeng stepped to Jiang Xun and knelt down with a "plop": "Second young master, it was my bad back then, and I hurt ......."
"Zifeng ......" Jiang Xun stopped him and said, "Don't say it, you can't blame you for this, you don't need to blame yourself......"
Saying that, Jiang Xun picked up the peace lock in front of the case, his face was full of pain, and he seemed to recall the scene when Jiang Rui was born, and that laughter still hovers in his mind.
"Rui'er ......"
Looking at the peace lock in his hand, Jiang Xun couldn't help but call softly.
This light call made all the brothers and sisters of the Jiang family couldn't help but look at Jiang Xun together, feeling puzzled, how could they mention the late Jiang Rui in a dignified manner?
"Brother, I want to be as good as you when I grow up in the future! Be a majestic general! ”
"Hahaha, Xiao Zhen is really manly! However, if you want to be a general, you still need to have a strong body and exercise a lot. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to my brother, and I'll practice more from tomorrow."
Just when Jiang Xun and Mrs. Shi were embarrassed by their families, the words between Liu Ce and Jiang Zhen diverted everyone's attention.
Mrs. Shi felt very warm when she saw Liu Ce and Jiang Ce sitting together, talking and laughing, and then she was worried that Liu Ce was tired, so she said to Jiang Zhen: "Qian'er, come here, don't tire Liu Gongzi." ”
Seeing his mother speak, Jiang Zhen reluctantly left Liu Ce's side. Liu Ce smiled and shook his head, he also liked Jiang Wei very much.
Seeing that there was nothing to do here, Jiang Xun immediately got up and wanted to say goodbye to Liu Ce and leave to return to Yuanzhou City, after all, today's birthday banquet was ironclad, which made him lose a lot of face, but fortunately, the bigger face was saved, and it was also a blessing for Liu Ce.
Seeing that Jiang Xun was leaving, Liu Ce got up and stopped: "Lord Jiang, it's getting late outside, you might as well rest for one night in the school captain's mansion tonight, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow. ”
Jiang Xun saw that it was indeed late outside, and even if he arrived in Yuanzhou City, it was estimated that it would be late at night, so he nodded and agreed.
Liu Ce asked, "My lord, you are in a hurry, you must have not had dinner, right?" ”
When Jiang Xun and everyone heard this, they realized that the rice had not been close since noon, and they didn't feel hungry when they had something to worry about, but now when they heard Liu Ce mention it, they also felt hungry, and they saw that everyone looked at Liu Ce embarrassedly.
Seeing this, Liu Ce thought for a while and said: "Today, my subordinates disturbed the birthday banquet of the adults, so let's do it, please go to the side room for a while, and your subordinates will go back when they go down." ”
"Liu Gongzi ......" Jiang Ruoyan couldn't help but call softly when she saw Liu Ce get up.
Liu Ce turned his head, nodded lightly at her, signaled that he didn't have to worry, and then walked straight to the back hall.
After waiting for about half an hour, a burst of fragrance came to my nose, and I saw Liu Ce holding a plate with seven bowls of noodles placed in front of everyone's table one by one. I saw that there were vegetables and meat in each bowl of noodles, and there was also a poached egg.
Liu Ce said with a smile: "The school captain's mansion is simple, and I can only make a few bowls of noodles for everyone to eat, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Mrs. Shi sighed: "Liu Gongzi, this, this is what you did?" You can also cook?"
Jiang Ruoyan was also shocked, and said secretly: How can he do anything? can fight, martial arts, arrange, rhythm, craftsman, and now he can cook! What else would he not have?
Liu Ce didn't explain, but said to Mrs. Shi: "Madam, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." ”
"Okay, good ......" Mrs. Shi hurriedly agreed, picked up the chopsticks, and looked at Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun saw that everyone was looking at him, and his stomach was really hungry, so he also lifted his chopsticks and took a bowl and drank the noodle soup.
When everyone saw Jiang Xun moving his chopsticks, they began to eat noodles, and soon there was a sucking sound on the table.
Liu Ce slowly sat down to the coffee table, quietly watched the scene of this family eating noodles with one hand on his cheek, and couldn't help but recall the scene of the reunion with his family in his previous life, and sighed heavily in his heart, he knew that he couldn't go back, and he could only continue to try his best to live in this strange world.
Jiang Ruoyan eats very elegantly, just lightly pinching a noodle and slowly inhaling the cherry bites every time, trying not to make a sound, and trying to maintain her image in front of Liu Ce.
And the brothers of the Jiang family can't take care of it so much, and even their father eats it and gobbles it up, so what do they care about?
Mrs. Shi also ate slowly, and kept telling Jiang Wei next to her to eat slowly and not choke......
After everyone finished eating, Liu Ce got up and handed a few clean towels to them, and then ordered the guards at the door to bring tea and pour a cup for each of them, and then put away the dishes and chopsticks.
Jiang Xun hasn't eaten so comfortably for a long time, to be honest, the noodles cooked by Liu Ce don't taste very good, but I don't know why the more he eats, the more fragrant it becomes, maybe he's hungry, right?
After Jiang Xun finished wiping his mouth, he suddenly felt that he wanted to smoke very much, and he couldn't help touching his waist, but then he found that he was in a hurry to go out today, and he didn't bring the jade cigarette stick.
Seeing this, Liu Ce silently took a box and took out a pipe from inside, which he made himself in his spare time. Of course, he doesn't smoke, purely to relieve the pressure of the battle, and to relax and have fun.
When Liu Ce handed the pipe full of tobacco to Jiang Xun, Jiang Xun was also attracted by such a novelty, only to see Liu Ce turn on Huo Zhe, light the tobacco for him, and then put an ashtray and a bag of tobacco on his table, and after doing all this, he would slowly return to his seat.
Jiang Xun rarely smokes, but that doesn't mean he can't smoke, Liu Ce's intelligence network has long understood his habits, and everything has been prepared for this day to come, except that the pipe is an accident......
After a period of swallowing clouds and spitting fog, Jiang Xun suddenly felt indescribably comfortable, and the Jiang brothers and sisters couldn't help but admire Liu Ce when they saw their father, who had always been rigid, showing a comfortable expression.
After smoking a bucket of cigarettes, Jiang Xun was still unsatisfied, poured the cigarette residue into the ashtray, and then poured a bucket from the cigarette pouch, and said to Liu Ce: "This thing is really convenient to use, how to call it?"
Liu Ce replied: "Go back to my lord, this thing is called a pipe, I do it casually when I am bored, if I don't dislike it, I will accept it, anyway, I don't smoke under it, and it is useless to keep it." ”
Jiang Xun nodded: "Then Ben Du is not welcome, he opened Huo Zhe and lit the tobacco inside and took a deep breath. ”
Jiang Ruoyan smelled the smell of smoke soaked in the fragrance of flowers, and sighed again in her heart that this Liu Ce's mind would be so delicate, this fragrance diluted the choking smell emitted by the tobacco leaves, which made people feel much better.
"Liu Ce, this governor has always been curious." Jiang Xun asked while holding a pipe, "You said that you are now a thousand households, and you are the Taishou of the Han Tomb, and you have an elite army under your command that can fight well, it stands to reason that it should be when you are in high spirits, but this government knows that you have never been married, and I have never seen you go in and out of Fengyue, and you are not a smoker, drinker, or gamble, so I really don't understand what you are thinking in your heart?" ”
Jiang Xun's words were also what Jiang Ruoyan wanted to ask, but she couldn't open her mouth, even between friends, it was not something that a girl could ask casually.
Liu Ce sighed, got up and saluted everyone, and then said to Jiang Xun: "My lord, it's not that I don't understand Fengyue, it's not that I don't know how to enjoy life, it's just that when I think of what happened to the people in the Far East, I really don't have any mood to think about those things, I just want to drive all the beasts out of the Far East, out of the grassland, out of the desert, and they don't dare to step into my Great Zhou again, and wait until there is no longer the slightest figure of that group of beasts in my Far East, so that I can live a comfortable life with peace of mind." ”
"Okay, I'm going to get rid of them all!"
When Jiang Ruoyan heard this, the words of the young man suddenly echoed in her ears, and she couldn't help but tremble, feeling her nose sore, and almost burst into tears.
Is he really still remembering the promise he made with his childhood? Isn't he afraid of exhausting himself if he does this? What was it that was holding him up step by step?
Jiang Xun nodded when he heard this: "I don't want you to have such a state of mind and courage at a young age, I still underestimate you, Liu Ce, you are very good." ”
Liu Ce arched his hand and said, "My lord praised it falsely." ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Xun suddenly said to Mrs. Shi: "Madam, it's not early, you can take the children to rest first, the governor still has some things to discuss with Captain Liu." ”
Mrs. Shi got up and glanced at Jiang Xun, and then at Liu Ce, her eyes were full of love, and then she said goodbye to Liu Ce with the Jiang family, and walked to the wing room under the leadership of the school captain's mansion.
After everyone left, only Liu Ce and Jiang Xun were left in the lobby, Jiang Xun lit a bucket of cigarettes again, and after confirming that his family was no longer in the hall, his face changed, and he took a deep puff of cigarette and said coldly to Liu Ce: "Say, are you a ghost in southern Hebei?" ”
When Liu Ce heard this, he sneered in his heart, he has been busy for so long just to wait for your words, since you have spoken, then simply have a showdown.
Liu Ce said slowly: "Since the adults already know, why do you knowingly ask? ”
Jiang Xun snorted and said, "Liu Ce, do you know who Jizhou is?" ”
Liu Ce said: "No matter who it is, anyway, I will take it back from Hu Nu now." ”
Jiang Xun shook his head and said, "Liu Ce, Liu Ce, this governor thought that he knew you well enough, but now I have to admit that I still underestimate you!" Less than a year after taking office in early April last year, you actually recovered Langcheng and calmed down the entire situation in southern Hebei. ”
Jiang Xun's words revealed an extremely cold chill, his eyes were staring at Liu Ce with slight jaws, if his eyes could kill people, I am afraid that Liu Ce would have died no less than a thousand times.
