236 - You will be a military advisor
Can't bear to look at it?
No, Narcissus's words are simply saving too much face for Wang Xiaolai.
How can it be called unbearable to look at directly, and it seems a little uninteresting to describe it as miserable.
Within five days, Wang Xiaolai and Lu Gongyou performed 31 performances.
There was not a single victory.
All corners of the sand table have been thoroughly familiarized by Wang Xiaolai, but even so, he is still not Lu Gongyou's opponent.
On this day, Wang Xiaolai, who was deducing, threw away the small flag in his hand, and shouted with a scolding voice: "Don't play, don't play." โ
Lu Gongyou looked up at Wang Xiaolai and wondered, "Why?" โ
Wang Xiaolai looked at Lu Gongyou, grief and indignation: "Are you a pervert, how can you win so many in a row and still don't see a flaw?" โ
Lu Gongyou was speechless.
Wang Xiaolai can't figure it out anyway, no matter how much he changes his strategy, he has to be taught by Lu Gongyou to be a man.
After five days, Wang Xiaolai was physically and mentally exhausted from being beaten.
However, he is not without progress, from the beginning of the two who divided the winner and loser in half an hour, to now, he can fight an evenly matched, half a catty and eight taels.
It's just that Wang Xiaolai is half a catty of scrap iron, and Lu Gongyou is eight taels of gold.
No, just now Wang Xiaolai picked the game, the two fought for a full morning without winning or losing, and in the end, the impatient Wang Xiaolai directly stopped playing.
In fact, Wang Xiaolai stopped playing, and Lu Gongyou was also relieved.
Wang Xiaolai's progress in the past five days, Lu Gongyou can see it in his eyes, and it can be described as speed.
In this game just now, if Wang Xiaolai persists, the outcome is unknown.
How can a person have so many crooked ideas? The whims are endless.
If you change someone else, I am afraid that Wang Xiaolai will be beheaded by Wang Xiaolai a long time ago.
That is, the invincible Lu is invincible, so that Wang Xiaolai can be cured.
Waving his hand and ordering people to withdraw the sand table, Lu Gongyou stood up, looked at Wang Xiaolai and said: "You have done a good job, don't be a flag officer in the future, Qu Cai." โ
Wang Xiaolai was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced: "Master Hou, do you want to talk to Your Majesty about transferring me out of the Wangcheng Guards?" โ
Everyone in the tent looked at Lu Gongyou.
However, Lu Gongyou shook his head: "No, in the future, you will be my military advisor, together with Ziqing." โ
Wang Xiaolai's mood suddenly became depressed: "Ah, I thought Master Hou was going to let me go." โ
Lu Gongyou shook his head: "Regarding the matter of making you a military advisor, I will talk to Your Majesty." โ
Anyway, I can't get out of this royal city guard, so I can do whatever I like.
Wang Xiaolai shrugged his shoulders and agreed weakly.
Regarding Wang Xiaolai's arrangement, Lu Gong lobbied quickly, and the empress agreed quickly.
Originally, this matter was mentioned in the morning, but in the afternoon, Wang Xiaolai had already moved to live next to Yu Ziqing, with a separate tent and a special local soldier.
You don't have to get up early and go to bed late with the chess and card officers like before, and you don't have to train like ordinary soldiers.
Usually, as long as there is no special summons, you can sleep in the tent by yourself all day without anyone paying attention to you, so to speak, so to speak, there is so much free time that it explodes.
On the second day of Wang Xiaolai's transfer, Liu Mianyi and Chu Feng came to congratulate them, and took the wine and food they bought from outside.
A group of people sat at Wang Xiaolai's residence, eating, drinking and having fun, so happy.
While playing, Wang Xiaolai couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Feng, who was gnawing on a leg of mutton in his mouth, asked curiously: "My lord, what's wrong with you, aren't you happy?" โ
Wang Xiaolai smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, it's okay." โ
Liu Mianyi has been by Wang Xiaolai's side for a long time, and he knows what Wang Xiaolai is thinking in his heart, needless to say, he must have remembered the matter of the paper mill.
"My lord, are you worried about the paper mill?" Liu Mianyi asked softly.
Wang Xiaolai looked back at him, and then nodded: "It's not like that, I don't know how Jiuchai has managed the paper mill these days." โ
Liu Mianyi hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be fine, when I went to the street a few days ago, my lord, your shop in Xicheng, the business was still very good." โ
It's good that Liu Mianyi didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Wang Xiaolai became even more unhappy.
"Why can anyone go out casually, but I can't?"
Liu Mianyi whispered: "My lord, be quiet, this is what Your Majesty meant." โ
Wang Xiaolai raised his eyebrows: "What, I'm not allowed to complain yet." โ
Liu Mianyi: "ยทยทยท That adult, you extinguish the fire, come and see this. โ
As she spoke, Liu Mianyi took out two cigarettes from her arms and rolled them out.
Wang Xiaolai's eyes widened instantly.
"Where did you get this?"
Liu Mianyi smiled and scratched his head: "As a Qu Chang, every month, I can get two taels of tobacco, I used to chew it, the last time I saw adults take paper rolls, I kept an eye on it, no, just in time to catch up with the adults, your shop also sells paper, the price is not too expensive, I bought some paper, and I rolled it myself." โ
Wang Xiaolai took a cigarette roll and threw it in his mouth: "Hurry up, give me fire, I haven't smelled this for many days." โ
Liu Mianyi took out the fire fold and lit it for Wang Xiaolai, who took a sip, came up, and almost passed the top for Wang Xiaolai.
"Ahem, ahem."
Coughing violently, Wang Xiaolai covered his nose: "Familiar taste, familiar formula." โ
"What are you talking nonsense, sir?"
"No, no."
Just as he was swallowing clouds and spitting out mist, he heard someone outside: "Is Lord Wang there, is Lord Wang here?" โ
This voice was from Yu Ziqing, when Wang Xiaolai stopped his hand movements and looked up: "Brother Yu, come in and say something, I'm here." โ
Yu Ziqing heard the words and opened the curtain and entered.
Seeing that Liu Mianyi and Chu Feng were there, he was busy, arched his hands, and made a literati etiquette.
How dare Liu Mianyi and Chu Feng let Yu Ziqing do this, they hurriedly returned the salute: "I've seen Master Yu." โ
Yu Ziqing waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
"Brother Yu, what's wrong? Hou Ye won't call me again, right? Wang Xiaolai asked Yu Ziqing, who had just sat down.
Yu Ziqing shook his head: "No, Master Hou didn't look for you, but there were other people looking for you." โ
Wang Xiaolai was stunned: "Others, who?" I'm in the Guards of the Royal City, do I know anyone else? โ
Yu Ziqing said: "It's not a person in the army, it's someone outside, she said what her name is Shu Jiuchai." โ
"Nine hairpins?"
As soon as he heard Shu Jiuchai's name, Wang Xiaolai hurriedly stood up.
"Lord Wang!" Yu Ziqing shouted.
But Wang Xiaolai had already run out in one go.
This way, I went straight to the gate of the barracks, and the soldiers guarding the door also knew Wang Xiaolai, and at that moment they showed embarrassment on their faces, stopped Wang Xiaolai and said: "That Lord Wang, Master Hou has instructed you not to go out." โ
Wang Xiaolai said: "I know, I don't go out, I don't go out, I just see someone." โ
As he spoke, he saw Shu Jiuchai standing at the gate of the barracks, and hurriedly beckoned: "Jiuchai, Jiuchai, here." โ
Shu Jiuchai, who heard the voice, turned around, saw that it was Wang Xiaolai, snorted, ran up, and shouted first: "Master." โ
Wang Xiaolai asked: "You came to me, is there something wrong with the paper mill?" โ
Originally, it was just a casual question, who would have thought that Shu Jiuchai really nodded: "Something happened to the paper mill." โ
Just six short words fell into Wang Xiaolai's ears, but they were enough to make him petrify.
"Master, master."
fell straight to the ground with a thud, scaring Shu Jiuchai so much that he couldn't do it, and the two soldiers guarding the door were also startled, shouted and stepped forward, pushed Wang Xiaolai's arm and said, "Lord Wang, are you okay?" โ
was pushing, Wang Xiaolai suddenly turned over and sat up, staring straight at the camp gate, looking at Shu Jiuchai.
Immediately after, he got up from the ground, went to Shu Jiuchai, and took Shu Jiuchai's hand: "Something happened to the paper mill, don't go out of business." โ
Shu Jiuchai shook his head: "No, this is not the case." โ
Wang Xiaolai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, patted his chest and said: "Scared me, I thought it was the paper mill that went out of business, Jiuchai, you are really, say it earlier." โ
Wang Xiaolai, who thought it was just a false alarm, didn't wait to put his heart in his stomach, and Shu Jiuchai's next words made Wang Xiaolai's heart rise again.
"Two days ago, three workers left our paper mill."
"Resigned?" Wang Xiaolai asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Shu Jiuchai wondered: "What resignation?" โ
"Oh it's okay, you go on."
