I couldn't help but ask funny: "Sent your cousin away?" He nodded, took the towel from my hand and stood behind to wipe my hair. For a while, Jing Jing was a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but open his mouth to break the silence: "Where did you go just now?" ”

"I went to say hello to the generals and told them to rest early tonight, and we will discuss the battle plan tomorrow morning."

Slightly stunned, he asked a little strangely: "Do you still need to order these in person?" Isn't it possible for people to pass it on? ”

Ah Ping said softly: "In the palace, I am the imperial grandson under one person, and they have to worship when they see me, but when I come out to go on an expedition with the army, I am just a nominal deputy marshal. ”

I turned my head when I heard the words, and saw that there was a warm color between his eyebrows and eyes, and his whole temperament was also gentle and elegant, but when I said this, I really had a hint of the taste of a prince. A good general does not mean that he will necessarily be a good emperor, but to be an emperor, you must first understand the hearts of the people. He has learned how to appease the emotions of the generals, and only when he treats each other with sincerity will the other party sincerely assist him.

After I looked at him for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?" ”

"I'm looking at my family, Ah Ping, is becoming more and more promising."

His face showed surprise, "What is the power of the king, but I will only talk on paper about marching and fighting as you said, and I have to learn more from my uncles when I really go to war." The emperor's grandfather also said that this battle was mainly based on Uncle Wang's marching formation, although I was the deputy commander, I would deal with it with humility, and I would only do it according to the emperor's grandfather's will. ”

I smiled and rubbed his head, "Come with me to be modest, say you're great, you're great." ”

Only then did he purse his lips and smile, and a smile was also dyed between his eyebrows: "That's right, I must be very good in front of my daughter-in-law, but we don't have to keep a low profile." As he spoke, he took my hand and said proudly: "Daughter-in-law, you are much shorter than me now, and it is not as easy as before to knock on my head." ”

I'm laughed at angrily, do you still need to show off if you're taller than me? But it is true that he has grown a lot taller in the past year, a head taller than me, and now I look very petite when I stand in front of him, no wonder that Zhu Gaoxu wants to say that I am short, and when these young men grow their bodies, they say that they grow taller when they grow taller.

After drying my hair, I asked Ah Ping where I slept, and he replied with a confused face that he should sleep in this room with him, but I vetoed it. The same problem is the same, whether on the march or in this city, if I sleep in the same room with him, nothing will change. At my insistence, he reluctantly led me to a nearby room, where I slept in the same room with the green lotus, and when he left, he looked at me with complaining eyes, but he didn't see it.

The room in the green lotus house is not as good as Ah Ping's, the bed board is very hard, and it is an unfamiliar environment, so I sleep very unsteadily at night. It's better that the green lotus has no heart and lungs, and it didn't take long to go to bed and fall asleep.

When I woke up the next day, I was told that Ah Ping had already gotten up and gone to the council chamber, and that there was an explanation for me to stay in the courtyard to rest.

I'm afraid of causing more trouble, so I still let the green lotus make it easy for me, looking at myself in the bronze mirror, it is no longer the black face that I used to have, but the complexion has darkened a little, and not only the face, but also the neck and exposed hands are smeared. The collar was deliberately raised to hide the fact that I didn't have an Adam's apple.

However, if you want a woman to dress as a man realistically, you still have to think of a way to solve the problem of the Adam's apple.

Ah Ping didn't come back until noon, when I was standing in the courtyard with Lu Lotus and Yan Qi discussing the varieties of flowers and trees, when I suddenly saw him walk in, and walked straight into the room, and there was obviously a gloomy color between his eyebrows. Yan Qi glanced at me, and at this time, only I could go over to inquire about the situation.

When I walked into the room, I saw Ah Ping's back standing in front of the window, and his figure was gloomy. I went over and whispered, "What's wrong?" ”

He turned around, and there was anger in his deep dark eyes: "Uncle Wang is arbitrary, I can only listen from the side from beginning to end, and all the opinions put forward have been refuted. ”

As I expected, although he said that last night, he still had that high energy in his bones. It is not easy to be humble and listen to the training, not to mention that he also has revenge in his heart, he is not a gentleman, he has seen him reciting military books most of the time along the way, and with his qualifications, he should memorize those books on marching and polemics. Not only that, but he also brought the historical books of many battles ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to study carefully, which can be described as well-intentioned.

Therefore, when the heart used does not match the reality, it is inevitable that resentment will arise in his heart.

All I can do is appease: "Ah Ping, didn't you say last night that you should treat this war with humility?" The people who are meeting with you today, from King Yan to the generals, are all people who have fought with the army and have fought with the army, and they must have more combat experience than you. Maybe your opinion is a good strategy, but the army is not more respectful of rights than the imperial court, and the army is based on military merits, you see that even your cousin, who is the son of King Yan, is just a young general, and he should not have the right to speak in this meeting. ”

Seeing that Ah Ping's eyebrows and eyes were softened, he was also pondering, proving that he had listened to my words in his ears. It's good to do this, but what I'm most afraid of is being stubborn and self-serving, and not listening to the advice of others.

I patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I won't bother you much, you have to figure out these things yourself." You'll figure it out in a moment, and I'll see if lunch is ready. ”

After hearing his answer, he went out and closed the door with his hand.

Yan Qi came up to ask when he saw me coming out, and I didn't say much, only that Ah Ping would come out by himself in a while, but someone had to go and ask for lunch, where to get it or go to a specific place to eat.

Uncle Mu went to ask in person, but he didn't expect that he was not the only one when he came back, and Zhu Di also came. accompanied by Zhu Gaoxu and others, carrying food boxes in their hands. Because of his level and identity, Uncle Mu had to go with him, so he didn't even give me a warning, so he took a photo with Zhu Di. Fortunately, his gaze only passed me quickly, and after looking around, he opened his mouth and asked, "What about Your Highness?" ”

Yan Qi replied: "Lord Wang, His Royal Highness is in the house, and his subordinates will call him." As soon as the words fell, there was a creak at the door, and Ah Ping opened the door from the inside and walked out with a gentle face.

Seeing Zhu Di smiling and said, "Uncle Wang, are you going to have lunch with me?" ”

Zhu Di nodded, "Mengcheng has just been recovered, and the people in the city are helpless, so we can only settle for the time being." ”

There was no dining table in the room, so the group could only spread out the chairs in each room, and finally there was a stone table in the courtyard. After Zhu Gaoxu opened the food box on the table, I really understood that Zhu Di's desolation was not false. Except for a bowl of braised pork, the rest were vegetarian dishes, because we had enough food and grass when we came, so there was no shortage of rice.

Seeing this, Ah Ping didn't care, and stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wang doesn't need to worry about us, just treat us equally." ”

Zhu Di didn't speak, but Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "Brother Wei has good eyesight, and he knows that this is already a dish." However, you may not be used to eating the soldiers, we want to eat enough and have the strength, and eat whatever you catch. ”

It means that these meals in front of you have been specially prepared for Ah Ping? But when I think about it, there are so many soldiers in the army, and if everyone had meat to eat, how many pigs would have to be eaten in one meal, it is impossible for the city of Mongolia, which has just been ransacked, to supply it. Most of them have rice to make ends meet, so it's a blessing not to go hungry.

Zhu Di and Ah Ping sat down at the stone table, raised their eyes and said, "Since you are fighting outside, you don't have to be informal, let's all come over and eat together." Apparently this was said to the crowd around us, who looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

It was Ah Ping who opened his mouth first: "What Uncle Wang said is very true, you all come and sit, it's not good if the food is cold for a while." ”

When he spoke, he glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that if it weren't for Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu and others present, he would have pulled me over to eat. But at this time, I couldn't rush forward in front of everyone, or Uncle Mu made a move first, and the rest of the people walked to the table one after another, and I was also mixed in.

Filled the rice in the bowl, and sandwiched a few chopsticks and dishes, and was just about to learn Yan Qi to squat aside to eat, but was stopped by Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Isn't there still a place?" Why do you hide and eat one by one? ”

I really wanted to knock out a bag of Zhu Gaoxu's head, but I was indignant and helpless, and I had to keep my face silent. I had to sit in the chair, opposite Ah Ping and Zhu Di, I don't know if it was my illusion, both of them seemed to take a quick look at me at the same time, and when I fixed my eyes, I felt that it was not.

When he turned his eyes, he saw Zhu Gaoxu looking over with a smile, and immediately lowered his head to eat. I'm really afraid that I can't help but be mad at this kid, and I can't wait to kick him under the table.

In fact, after a while, I really did this, because I was bent on leaving the table after eating quickly, but Zhu Gaoxu was particularly "affectionate" with chopsticks to sandwich braised pork for everyone on the table, and what was sandwiched into my bowl was a big piece of fat meat.

I've never been a meatless person, and I've had a disgust for fat from my past life to this life, and I feel sick just by looking at that greasy lump. Zhu Gaoxu was still beside him and said: "Eat meat, it's not easy to get this meat, it took me a morning to run to several farmers to buy a pig to slaughter." Everyone hasn't eaten meat for half a month, and it's a shame that Brother Wei came to take advantage of this light. ”

Kick it over, it's really too much nonsense!

But after kicking, he felt that something was wrong, not only did Zhu Gaoxu not show anything unusual, but he still bit the fat meat loudly, and his eyebrows danced. I couldn't help but look down at my feet, realized what was the surprise to raise my head, and even had a dead heart when I met the gloomy and indistinguishable gaze, I just kicked out the wrong direction, obviously I wanted to raise my right foot to kick, but cut out the left foot, and then, kicked Zhu Di!

Although Zhu Di just looked at me like that for a moment and then took his eyes away, the cold sweat on my forehead couldn't help but burst out.
