The swarthy old man looked at Bai Mu with a serious look, his expression was panicked and frightened, he hugged Jiang Liu'er tightly, hid him behind him, and looked at Bai Mu with confusion and pleading in his eyes.

Bai Mu understood, hurriedly smiled, and said in a voice as kind as possible: "Old man, don't be afraid. I just saw that this little brother looked a little like me, so I was a little curious, and we didn't have any ill intentions. ”

His words made the look of fear on the face of the swarthy old man a little less, but he also looked at Bai Mu with some surprise.

As a result, a man next to him who had not spoken preemptively said: "Brother Pang, you can say whatever the military master asks, what can't you say." Lord, I'll tell you. This old brother's surname is Pang, his name is Pang De, we are all old brothers, we grew up fishing together since childhood. Jiang Liu'er is not Brother Pang's own son, but a child they picked up by the sea. At that time, the little guy was only five or six years old, and he remembered that his name was Jiang Liu'er, and he had an older brother, and his father and mother were all killed by the Japanese Kou.

Brother Pang and his family have never had children, so they treat this child as their own son. Jiang Liu'er is also very smart and sensible, and we all like him very much. Master Jun, what else do you think you want to ask? ”

The man who spoke was a straightforward character, and he said a lot in one breath, saying everything that should be said and what should not be said, and Bai Mu had all the information he wanted.

Bai Mu knew it in his heart, and said to Pang De: "Is that so, old man?" ”

The man named Pang De glanced at the man who spoke just now with some complaint, so he had to nod and say, "Master Jun, that's the case." ”

Bai Mu nodded and turned his head to Jiang Liu'er and asked, "Little brother, you still have an elder brother?" Do you remember what your brother's name was and where he is now? ”

Jiang Liu'er said loudly without hesitation: "Of course I remember." After my father and mother were killed by those bitches, I only have one such relative as my brother in this world. Oh no, I was wrong, I have my dad now. Dad, mother, don't worry, you will always be my father and mother, and I will provide for you in old age. ”

Jiang Liu'er felt speechless, and hurriedly turned her head to comfort Pang De and his family.

Pang De and his wife just pulled Jiang Liu'er's arm tightly, with a complicated expression, as if they were afraid that this son, who had been raised for more than ten years, would suddenly disappear.

After comforting her adoptive parents, Jiang Liu'er turned her head and continued: "My brother's name is Jiang Chuan, and he is a scholar. When my brother left home and said he was going on a study tour, I was only five years old.

Not long after my brother left, the Japanese invaders were killed in my hometown, and when my father and mother fled with me, they were killed by the Japanese invaders. My father and mother hid me in a dilapidated sampan and pushed me into the sea, so that I did not die, and was finally saved by my current father and mother. ”

Jiang Liu'er said clearly, when it came to the time when the widow killed his biological parents, he still gritted his teeth with hatred, obviously the scene of the tragic death of his parents was something that he could not forget for a lifetime, who already had a clear memory at that time.

When Bai Mu heard this, he was already convinced of eight points in his heart. This Jiang Liu'er is very likely to be the younger brother of the lord Jiang Chuan.

It's just that he still needs to confirm again: "Little brother, your brother has been away from home for so many years, haven't you looked for him again?" ”

"The world is so big, where can I find it? When my brother left, he said that he wanted to travel all over the world. Not long after he left, the widows came, and his father and mother died. I floated here along the river, and my current father and mother depend on each other, fishing for a living, and I can only eat enough for a year, and I don't have anything to pangle to find my brother. I don't know if my brother is still alive now, I don't know if he's doing well, I miss my brother so much, if I can see my brother again, it would be good. ”

When Jiang Liu'er said this, she was obviously a little excited, and tears welled up in her eyes, and she stretched out her hand to wipe her tears as she spoke.

He didn't know why, although the person in front of him was a soldier with a bad body, but he instinctively thought that this person was not a bad person, he had no ill intentions towards him, and he seemed to have a sense of trustworthiness, which made this originally smart and alert teenager can't help but reveal his true feelings in front of Bai Mu.

Hearing this, Bai Mu thought in his heart: "Yes, yes, this young man must be the younger brother of the lord." ”

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then asked, "Little brother, if you can still see your brother, will you still know him?" ”

"Well, if I could actually see my brother, I would definitely recognize him. Before he died, my father told me that my brother had a pair of symmetrical red moles on his chest. And I remember a little bit of my brother's appearance, and if I see him, I'll be able to recognize him. Jiang Liu'er thought for a while and said firmly.

Bai Mu pondered for a while and then said to Pang De: "Old man, I may know where this little brother's brother is. I'll take this little brother to recognize people now. You can rest here first, or you can go to our tent over there. ”

When Jiang Liu'er heard that Bai Mu could help him find his brother, he suddenly became excited, his black eyes became even brighter, and he excitedly pulled Bai Mu's arm and said, "Brother General, can you really help me find my brother?" ”

Bai Mu nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, I never tell lies. After speaking, he looked at Pound.

Pang De looked at the excited Jiang Liu'er with a complicated and tangled expression, there was a kind of discomfort that he was going to lose like this, he was out of breath because of the unbearable pressure, and finally sighed heavily and said: "The old man will go with the military master, Jiang Liu'er is still my child anyway." ”

…………

On the shore by the harbor, the engineering battalion has set up a small barracks.

The barracks consisted of many tents, and the perimeter was surrounded by carts carried by the engineering battalion to form a circular barracks, and there were high lookouts on all sides, on which soldiers were already on duty.

At the same time, a wall was built around the perimeter of these carts with huge log pointed piles, which was equivalent to another layer of defense.

The largest tent in the middle of the camp was Jiang Chuan's royal tent, and the royal flag at the door of the tent and the Jiang family's army flag had been erected, flying in the sea breeze.

Two rows of guards lined up on both sides, standing with swords, tightly guarding outside the gate. There are also groups of guards patrolling around in the camp, and the whole camp is orderly and solemn.

Jiang Chuan was sitting in the king's tent, listening to Bai Jinxiu, who had just arrived from Shanhaiguan, report on the military situation.

"Although the main manpower of the Black Ice Platform is in Liaodong, since last winter, I have sent people to infiltrate outside the Guanwai. Now including the capital, Qingzhou, Yuezhou and other places have our rudders. Although the number of these rudders is not large, it is still possible to gather basic information. ”

"Well, Liaodong is our foundation, of course, we can't take it lightly. But now that we have entered the level, the layout of the level will become the center of gravity of the Black Ice Platform. You ask the people in Qingzhou to pay attention to it and confirm whether Li Zicheng's granary is in Jinan Mansion. If confirmed, it would be better to get it all in, including the enemy's arming. ”

Bai Jinxiu was silent, Jiang Chuan looked at her, gently put his hand on the back of her hand and smiled: "This matter is indeed difficult. Whatever support you need, I will give it to you as long as I can do it. We had just entered the customs and had no idea what was going on inside the customs. Your black ice platform is my eyes. It will be much easier to wait for this time to pass. ”

Bai Jinxiu's face flushed, and his hand subconsciously wanted to pull back, but in the end he still didn't move, let Jiang Chuan hold it, hung his head, two red clouds floated on his face, hung his head and said softly: "You will coax me with good words, I have heard this several times." I'm on your thief ship and can't get off. ”

Jiang Chuan smiled awkwardly, as if he had indeed said this kind of thing more than once.

Bai Jinxiu felt his embarrassment, raised her head to look at her, the two looked at each other, no one moved away, and she was a little stupid for a while.

Looking at Bai Jinxiu's delicate face, although she was still dressed as a man, it made Jiang Chuan feel a strange impulse in her heart.

He slowly stood up, holding Bai Jinxiu's hand tighter, and leaned forward slowly, a pair of eyes emitting a fiery light.

Bai Jinxiu seemed to understand what was going to happen, the red clouds on her face turned even redder, she couldn't help but raise her head slightly, closed her eyes gently, and her ruddy and full cherry lips were presented in front of Jiang Chuan like a ripe and attractive fruit, with a moving appearance that Ren Jun picked.

Only the long, fluttering eyelashes revealed the tension and panic in her heart at the moment.

The impulse in Jiang Chuan's heart became stronger, his breathing began to be a little rapid, his eyes became more hot, he slowly approached, and when his mouth was about to bite down on the tempting red apple, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, he retracted his body at once, and the impulse just now disappeared in an instant.

The hand holding Bai Jinxiu also let go.

Bai Jinxiu opened her eyes and glanced at Jiang Chuan, who was embarrassed and apologetic, and the resentment on her face was very clear.

She stood up, her face quickly returned to her usual coldness, but her gaze was a little unkind when she looked at the figure who had just walked into the king's tent.
