Seeing that Qiu Ning seemed a little uncomfortable, Bai Muye asked in a calm tone as much as possible, "What's wrong with you?" Something hasn't been right for the past two days? ”

"No, I didn't ...... much" Qiu Ning's eyes were a little evasive.

Hey! Small!

Am I a fool when I am a brother?

Then, under Bai Muye's repeated questioning, Qiu Ning finally told the truth.

……

That night, after Bai Muye left Qiu Ning to go to see Xie Tingshi alone, Qiu Ning was probably lying on the bed made of wooden planks, how to lie down and feel panicked, and he couldn't sleep at all.

He lifted the quilt and began to wander around the world.

Surrounded by people celebrating on the streets, Qiu Ning was also infected by this atmosphere, and walked far away unconsciously.

Caught in the crowd, he walked aimlessly on the street, and he didn't feel a little sleepy, so he wanted to go back to Jiutingmen to sleep.

But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly bumped into the person behind him.

"Ouch-" The person behind him screamed in pain, covering his forehead and rubbing it while complaining: "How did you walk!" ”

Qiu Ning wanted to apologize, but when he saw the person in front of him, he was stunned.

"Ji Shilang?"

Seeing the slightly decadent appearance of the person opposite, he didn't dare to recognize him, but only called out tentatively.

The other party was also a little confused, but he didn't expect that there would be someone on this street who could recognize him, and when he looked at it, it was Qiu Ning.

He frowned with a complicated expression and asked coldly, "Is it you?" Why are you here? ”

"I ...... I see the excitement on the street, come out and walk around casually...... "Qiu Ning is a shy person in his bones, and he is uncomfortable when he sees an old person who he doesn't want to see much.

Ji Shilang sneered and mocked: "Feel free to walk? It can't be that you're eyeing someone's baby again, right? ”

Qiu Ning lowered his head, biting his lip without distinguishing, as if he would always be a head short in front of Ji Shilang.

Seeing that Ji Shilang flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, Qiu Ning gritted his teeth and finally asked what he wanted to ask.

"I don't know, I don't know how Ji Niangzi is doing?"

Ji Shilang turned his head when he heard this, his expression was resentful and ridiculed.

"You still have the face to ask? If it weren't for you......"

Suddenly, he was stunned, obviously only noticing that Qiu Ning was wearing a bright armor, and he asked suspiciously, "You...... In the army again? ”

Qiu Ning hurriedly straightened the somewhat lazy breastplate on his chest, nodded, and straightened his waist, as if he could finally raise his head in front of Ji Shilang.

He hated many people, but even when he was the most miserable and depressed, he couldn't hate Ji Shilang's family.

Ji Shilang was a little incredulous, and asked hesitantly: "Someone...... Will I use you? ”

This is just pure curiosity, and there is no malice to hear. Qiu Ning's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and he actually showed a confident smile, and nodded to Ji Shilang.

Qiu Ning's heart was suddenly full of gratitude to Bai Muye, even when he accepted himself as a deputy general, his gratitude was never so strong!

Ji Shilang looked at him again, his mood was complicated, and it seemed that something was difficult to say.

He came out this time for something that made him lose face.

Ji Xiaoniang was unconscious, and Ji Shilang never gave up treating her.

A year ago, a warlock said that it was a false illness and suggested "Chongxi" for him.

The warlock said that Chongxi, as the name suggests, is to use happy events, that is, marriages, to wash away the evil in the family, and then the little lady will wake up.

Seeing his daughter unconscious in bed day by day, Ji Shilang wanted to try this method, but the choice of marriage made him worried.

He thought of Qiu Ning at the first time, but immediately denied it.

He is a dignified servant, how can he let his daughter marry a thief? Not to mention Qiu Ning, who has a brilliant appearance, even those ordinary people, Ji Shilang can't look down on him, he likes either high-ranking officials and dignitaries, or wealthy families.

But he is a squire who is not high or low, he looks down on others, but people don't look down on him at this time.

It's okay if the woman is a normal person, but now she can't get up when she's lying in bed? Who would want to risk marrying a half-dead wife just to marry a mere servant? Even the wild bees and butterflies around the little lady Ji in the past shook their heads after the matchmaker came to say goodbye.

This time, Ji Shilang was like this again, he had just returned disappointed from a colleague's home, and when he was sad, he happened to meet his old friend.

Qiu Ning, he is in the army again? And looking at the armor he was wearing, the style was complicated, the workmanship was not bad, and it was obvious that his rank in the army was not low.

Ji Shilang asked tentatively: "You...... Under General Guo Tong? ”

Qiu Ning shook his head.

"That's being a lieutenant?"

Qiu Ning looked down at himself, this armor was worn by the daily captain, because it was an extraordinary period, and no one cared too much, so he found a set of well-fitting toilet sleeves at random.

He still shook his head.

Ji Shilang sighed in disappointment - he was still an ordinary soldier after a long time.

Then he listened to Qiu Ning say loudly: "Thanks to General Bai's wrong love, I am now a deputy general under General Bai Muyebai." ”

For the first time, he was in front of Ji Shilang, and he was worthy of admiration and was justified!

"Huh?" Ji Shilang gasped, a little incredulous, and looked at Qiu Ning carefully.

Although he didn't look down on Qiu Ning, he really hadn't seen Qiu Ning talk.

Qiu Ning laughed at himself: "The soldiers are in chaos, General Bai cherishes his talents, everything is based on defending Zhaozhou, and he is from a ...... or something."

He paused, and asked with concern from the bottom of his heart: "That day, the Turks broke through the city and harmed many people...... Is Ji Shilang's family okay? ”

Ji Shilang, who had already lived his mind just now, heard him ask like this, and hurriedly borrowed the donkey from the slope to get down to business.

He let out a long sigh: "The family is still the same, but the little girl is still in a coma......"

Speaking of Ji Xiaoniang, Qiu Ning's face became heavy again, it is estimated that he will not be able to get over this hurdle for the rest of his life.

Looking at his expression, Ji Shilang seemed to suddenly have hope, and he couldn't help but ask directly: "Qiu Ning, you, oh no, General Qiu, are you willing to save the little girl's life?" ”

Qiu Ning was quite surprised, but he still nodded desperately and said yes.

"Even so, I won't hide it from General Qiu. Some masters said that let a young talent marry a little girl in the sunshine and enter the door, and the little girl can wake up, I think General Qiu is heroic and extraordinary, which is exactly what the master said, I don't know if General Qiu is willing to ...... Money? ”

To be honest, Qiu Ning was scared.

He was stunned for a long time, and his heart was full of contradictions.

He didn't want to, he really didn't want to, he knew very well that he was just guilty about Ji Xiaoniang in his heart! But now, it seems reasonable for Ji Shilang to find him because of this matter, how can he refuse?

He had no choice but to say that he was keeping filial piety for his mother, and the matter of getting married had to be delayed, Ji Shilang readily agreed, promised to talk about it in three months, and just returned home to prepare.
