Outside the cooking camp, Shen Wan paused. After his eyes turned around, he whispered to Du Xiaomeng: "Don't talk later, the general will only say if you want you to speak." ”

"Got it." Du Xiaomeng replied in a soft voice.

was about to ask Shen Wan if she wanted her to see someone, but Shen Wan closed his mouth and glanced at her. She swallowed back the words that were about to be asked, followed Shen Wan's gaze, and glanced at two soldiers walking not far away. The armor worn by those two people was very different from that worn by Zhan Qi's soldiers, and they should have been soldiers who followed Shangguan Hong.

When they walked over, their eyes swept over Shen Wan and Du Xiaomeng's bodies a few times, intentionally or unintentionally. Although the two of them were dressed as ordinary soldiers, they looked at Shen Wan, the deputy general, without any respect.

Since Shangguan Hong came, Zhan Qi has changed from the supreme commander who commands the whole battalion to a deputy who is controlled by others, even if the soldiers in Zhan Qi's hands are several times more than Shangguan Hong's hundreds of elite soldiers, even if this military camp is originally his own territory, Zhan Qi and his soldiers have to stand aside in front of Shangguan Hong. And the group of people who followed Shangguan Hong were soldiers who had been secretly trained by the Third Princes for many years, they were acting on the orders of the Third Princes and Shangguan Hong, and now that the status of their own adults was the highest in the barracks, how could they put Shen Wan, the deputy general, in their eyes?

Although the people on Shangguan Hong's side have only been in the barracks for two days, they are already as if they are the leaders in the barracks. The soldiers under Zhan Qi had many opinions on this, especially Shangguan Hong, who was sent by the central government and had never led troops to fight but had occupied the commanding power, but they also knew that the palace was shocked, and the power fell into the hands of the three princes, and the general was in a helpless situation with no way out, so they had to obey the general's orders and retreat in a low-key manner.

Because of this, Shen Wan led Du Xiaomeng all the way, and from time to time saw Shangguan Hong's soldiers swaggering past them, but Zhan Qi's soldiers didn't see much of it. It wasn't until he approached the tent where Zhan Qi was that he saw that all the soldiers under Zhan Qi were guarding nearby, and Shangguan Hong's soldiers were not mixed in.

Du Xiaomeng followed Shen Wan into the tent, and after entering, he found that in addition to Zhan Qi, there was also a Shangguan Hong. Seeing the person she tried to avoid as much as possible appear here, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

When Shangguan Hong saw the visitor, his face showed a little surprise. After glancing at Du Xiaomeng, he turned his inquiring gaze to Zhan Qi, but Zhan Qi ignored his inquiring gaze, and instead instructed Du Xiaomeng: "Ah Ming, stand in front of Lord Shangguan so that he can clearly see your appearance." ”

"Yes General!" Du Xiaomeng really stood in front of Shangguan Hong, and then turned back and forth between Zhan Qi and Shangguan Hong with the curious eyes of the young man.

Zhan Qi looked at Shangguan Hong with a smile and said, "I heard that Lord Shangguan has something to ask Ah Ming, and General Ben specially called him over. I don't know what is so special about this kid that can attract your attention, Lord Shangguan? ”

I didn't expect Zhan Qi to come to this hand, but Shangguan Hong still reacted quickly and replied with a smile on his face: "Xiaguan heard that there was a young man who braved the wind and snow to join the army overnight, and Xiaguan also heard that he came to join the army with a token of General Zhan. As he spoke, he glanced at Zhan Qi with a smile, and then looked at Du Xiaomeng, "This little soldier sounds like General Zhan, and he came to join the army at this time, and the lower official can't help but be curious about it......

"It turns out that Lord Shangguan wants to know this kid's family background?" Zhan Qi didn't wait for Shangguan Hong to finish speaking, and then interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "I thought it was some complicated matter, you just came to ask General Ben directly, so you don't have to go to the cooking camp!" This kid is the son of an old subordinate of General Ben, named Amin. The old subordinate was a fellow villager of the general, and after he was discharged from the army, the general once went to visit his home when he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. At that time, this kid was only seven or eight years old, and he kept pestering General Ben to shout that he wanted to join the army and go to war. At that time, General Ben was so entangled by him that he couldn't help it, so he gave him a small thing, telling him that when he grew up, he could take that little thing to General Ben to join the army, but he didn't expect that he really came to join the army without hiding from his family. ”

As he spoke, Zhan Qi stretched out his hand and pressed Du Xiaomeng's head, and said with a smile: "This kid's cranky personality is the same as his father!" When he said this, he did this with a bit of love from the elders to the juniors.

Shangguan Hong looked at Zhan Qi, who looked like an elder, and the young man with a hippie smile, and the demeanor and behavior of the two did not show anything unnatural. After looking at it for a moment, he smiled softly and said, "I see." General Zhan solved the doubts in his heart for the lower officials, and the lower officials were grateful. ”

Zhan Qi smiled very happily and said, "Lord Shangguan, you're welcome! Now I have also called Lord Shangguan, if you still have any questions, just ask! ”

"No doubts." Shangguan Hong shook his head with a smile, "If General Zhan doesn't have anything else, Xiaguan will retire first." ”

Without waiting for Zhan Qi to say anything, Shangguan Hong, who didn't want to communicate with the people in the tent in words or other aspects, strode out without looking back, and soon walked away.

Seeing that Shangguan Hong's figure had completely disappeared, Du Xiaomeng, who had spoken a dialogue since entering the tent and was in a passive cooperative position, turned around and asked Zhan Qi, who was standing beside him: "You can eliminate Shangguan Hong's suspicion of me by doing this?" ”

Zhan Qi smiled, Du Xiaomeng really didn't disappoint him, she didn't need to explain anything to her, she could know the purpose of everything he did just now. He looked down at her and said, "To a suspicious person, he will never give up doubting anything, anyone. However, the more you show disguise in front of a suspicious person, the more suspicious he will become, on the contrary, you put everything in front of him without reservation, and let him see it generously, which will alleviate his suspicion. I can't guarantee that Shangguan Hong will continue to doubt you, but judging from his performance just now, he is not interested in you for the time being. As long as you don't arouse his interest, he won't stare at you and won't go out of his way to trouble you. ”

Du Xiaomeng thought about it for a while, and felt that what Zhan Qi said seemed to make sense. Hopefully, Shangguan Hong will really not be interested in her anymore in the future.

Zhan Qi looked at Du Xiaomeng, who was thinking about things a little distracted, for a while, and seemed to hesitate, but finally asked, "You, are your injuries healed?" ”

Du Xiaomeng, who came back to her senses when she heard the question, didn't notice Zhan Qi's strangeness, and replied casually: "It's almost good." ”

Zhan Qixiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." It's not appropriate for you to stay here for too long, I'll ask Shen Wan to send you back. If you need anything, just tell Brother Jin, he is a trustworthy person. ”

"Got it." Du Xiaomeng nodded, "Then I'll go back first." ”

She turned around and was about to go out, Zhan Qi looked at her with an expression of wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, just watched Shen Wan send her away.

It wasn't until Du Xiaomeng walked away that Zhan Qi said to himself to her back, "The matter will be resolved soon." Don't worry, what I promised you will be done, and I will respect your choice and go or stay as you go. ”
