Chapter 26 Inspection of armaments
Chapter 26 Checking Armaments
"Let's talk about it later!" Xu Mengmeng saw that the floating light he had just found was in a hurry, so he quickly interrupted him, turned around and planned to go back, walked a few steps, thought about it, turned around and whispered softly, and then strode away.
"The young lady is delicate, she can't compare to the three of them, so don't conflict with them in the future, so as not to hurt yourself!"
"Miss, Miss, what are you thinking? The slave and maid have been shouting at you for a long time and have not heard it! Li Muqing's mind was still recalling the words left by the delicate and gentle son who had saved her before leaving, and Leng Buding heard Chunhong next to her calling her, and immediately reacted, her cheeks slightly hot.
"Chunhong, what did you just say?"
"The slave just said that the son who saved the young lady is really handsome, even better looking than the eldest young master, and he is so gentle, but I don't know which little son it is!"
"Well, it's very beautiful!" Li Muqing echoed softly.
"But, miss, don't you think his voice is familiar? Where have you heard of it? Chunhong kept muttering while carrying Li Muqing back to the house.
It's familiar! And it sounds good! The man called him "general" just now, I don't know which general in Beijing it is? No, no, I've seen those in the capital, all of them look like tigers, and they don't look like him at all, are they those who came from other places to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday?
"Stop" As soon as the two of them reached the door, a majestic and stern voice sounded.
"Dad~" Li Muqing looked at the person who came and shrunk her neck.
"Got out and got into trouble again?"
"Dad~ When did I get into trouble?" Li Mumu retorted in a low voice.
"Do you dare to talk back? You look in the mirror yourself to see what you look like now, where is half of everyone's beautiful appearance, in the past, your mother has spoiled you, this time for me to stay at home honestly, learn the etiquette of the female precepts, and save the embarrassment of the queen mother's birthday.
Chunhong, take a good look at your young lady, if you let her out again, I will sell you! Hmph~" Father Li threw up his sleeves and walked away after speaking.
"Daddy will only threaten me with you!" Li Muqing muttered dissatisfiedly and then went back to her yard.
"Uh-huh~" Xu Mengmeng left the lake and rushed to the house with the two of them, Leng Buding collided with someone in the Yunqi Teahouse, Xu Mengmeng didn't feel anything, but the person snorted.
"Are you alright?" Xu Mengmeng was a little out of breath because she was in a hurry, and her voice was not as cold as usual in the court, but had a warm and delicate feeling.
"It's okay" Song Jinyan raised his head and looked at the young man who hit him, his delicate and handsome face was slightly sweaty, thinking that there should be something urgent, he waved his hand and let it go.
Xu Meng was slightly surprised when he dreamed that it was Song Jinyan who bumped into him, but because he was in a hurry, he just nodded lightly and took someone away.
"What happened over there in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing?" As soon as he returned to the mansion, Xu Mengmeng immediately asked.
"Today, I went with Qiye to inspect the winter military clothes that were sent out yesterday, and after the inspection, we found that only one or two of the top in each box were filled with new cotton, and the rest were either some old cotton rotten cotton, and some even had some rags directly inside."
Lixing still can't believe what he found.
"What? You go prepare the horse first, and when I change my clothes, I'll go with you to see it!" ”
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Xu Mengmeng didn't dare to be sloppy, and was anxious to go and see what was going on.
Daying on the outskirts of Beijing
"General" "General"
The iconic mask on Xu Mengmeng's face is still very recognizable in the army, so many men greeted him along the way, and their eyes were full of admiration and faith.
They are not those unsophisticated ladies of the boudoir, naturally they don't care about the general's appearance, for them, intelligence and force are what he believes in, and the one who can make them survive the cruel battlefield is the god in their hearts.
Every time he came, he could receive the reverent little eyes of the men, and Xu Mengmeng was also used to it from the initial full of blood, and nodded lightly, as cold and serious as usual.
He strode into the tent where the armaments were stored, picked up a new military uniform in the bag, and gently checked it in his hand.
Hum! Clothes really weigh a bit when you lift them! It can be seen that the villain behind the scenes also used some heart, if it weren't for Lixing, who has always been a little more careful than ordinary people, it would be really difficult for others to notice that they couldn't keep it all for a while.
"Hiss~" Xu Mengmeng pulled out the dagger on the small arm of his left hand, and with a cold little face, he slashed at the clothes in his hand.
Sure enough, the imaginary scene of cotton flying out did not appear, and what caught my eye was pieces of rags of different shapes and colors.
Throwing away the tattered clothes in her hand, the anger in her eyes flashed, and she was almost laughed at angrily, the person who did her hands and feet really annoyed her!
"In addition to you and Qiye in the barracks who know about this, are there any other brothers in the camp who know?" Angry to the extreme, she gradually calmed down.
"Qiye and I sealed the camp tent after checking and discovering the problem, so those brothers outside don't know about it yet!"
Hearing his words, Xu Mengmeng's heart was a lot more relaxed, although Lixing was inferior to Yinyue in terms of force and Chi Yu in terms of intelligence, it has always been very reassuring to deal with things.
But to be honest, the vision of the deceased General Bai is still very good, and although the twelve horsemen left for the original body are slightly ordinary in appearance, their abilities are not bad.
Among them, Yinyue is good at martial arts, Lixing has a strong ability to deal with things, Jinchen has a pure heart, Chiyu is resourceful, Mufeng archery is a must, Seven Nights Night Vision is strong, Danmo can imitate calligraphy and painting, Liujin fine pipe account, floating light riding is good, Glimpses have a strong ability to find things, Qingli is clever and funny, and Gu Xuan is quiet and calm.
"In this case, don't disclose this matter for the time being, so as not to disturb the morale of the army, if a soldier asks when the military uniforms will be issued, just say that the military department is still preparing!"
"By the way, don't you say that more cotton has been collected this year than last year? Where did all that cotton go?
The army of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing can still be so harshly detained under the nose of the saint, so wouldn't those sergeants who are far away at the border pass be even worse? It's already mid-November, and the Northern Guard likes to attack in late December, and the north is colder than the capital.
This Wang Shangshu really doesn't take human life seriously like his evil son! ”
Xu Mengmeng had never cared too much about such things before, but when she saw the cruelty of war, she admired this group of hot-blooded people from the bottom of her heart, so the anger when she knew that someone actually deducted military supplies in private can be imagined, what is the difference between letting them go to the battlefield like this and letting them die?
"This matter seems to be related to Qi Shuhong, the head of the household!" Qiye on the side suddenly interjected.
"Haven't the military department always been responsible for military supplies, why is it involved in the household department again?" Xu Mengmeng spoke with some curiosity.
"The day before yesterday, I went to Fumanlou, the largest restaurant in the city, to have dinner with Glimpse, and met a small official of the military department at the same table in the restaurant who drank too much, and whispered a few words about the lack of military funds allocated by the household department this time, so I think it should also have something to do with the household department."
"In this way, the main problem should lie in the household department, and as for whether the military department is clean or not, it also needs to be verified." Akabane, who had been listening quietly on the side, interjected.
"No matter whose problem it is, if you dare to do something about it, I will never let him go!" The glow in Xu Mengmeng's eyes flashed again.
