Chapter 12 Turbulent Times II

When I returned to my room, I saw Nanashuo sitting next to me reading a book. This is the first time I've seen Guan Yunyu since I went to him. Although Qishuo is always clumsy when doing things, he hasn't seen him for a month, and he is also worried about it.

Qishuo heard the sound of the door opening, quickly stood up, and casually buckled the book in his hand. Immediately, he came to a bear hug that I will never forget.

"General, you're finally back, you don't know that you've suffocated Qishuo to death in the past few months. ”

I pushed him away from me, firstly because it was hot, and secondly because I couldn't stand his hug. I touched my chin, where he had been hit by an elbow and almost hit my tongue.

"Yes, if you are bored like this, you will be more quick in doing things. ”

I picked up the book that I had just held, added a bookmark to it, and squared it. As soon as you look at this book, you can see that it was taken from upstairs, and everything is still as it is.

Seeing me doing this, Qishuo came over with a shy face and said, "The general is really careful. ”

I pinched his smiling face and said, "Who is serving whom?"

"It's okay, anyway, the one-year period has passed a lot, and the general won't need me to take care of it in the future. Then I will go home and enjoy myself. ”

"Go home and be happy? You're not here, you're going to go home? What are you talking about?"

Qishuo covered his mouth and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, anyway, the time that Qishuo spent with the general is getting shorter and shorter, and the general still has to cherish Qishuo." ”

As he spoke, Qishuo's face leaned over again. It's like this every time he wants to ask for something, and this time he should be asking for something. I pushed his face away and didn't let him get too close to me so that he wouldn't hug me for a moment.

"General, my uncle who has been reunited for a long time has returned, can I go and pay a visit. It will only take a while, and I'll be back right away. ”

"Uncle, I've never heard you talk about it, I'm afraid you made it up. I don't agree to that. ”

"No, I grew up in my uncle's house, and my father was on the frontier, so my uncle is my second father. Now that I finally have an opportunity to meet him, how can the general just refuse?"

Actually, I didn't really refuse him, I agreed to whatever he asked in the past, I was just afraid that it would encourage him.

"If that's the case, then you should go quickly. Remember, don't waste too much time. It's almost noon now, and I'm going to see you in the afternoon. Also, you must not make any more demands for a month, or I will return you to midnight. ”

Qishuo had a surprise on his face, hurriedly thanked him, and hurriedly ran out, for fear of missing something.

After Qishuo left, I had to go upstairs by myself, to the library.

The people in charge of management inside didn't know me, so at first I didn't want to go inside, as long as I took out the tokens of my subordinates. I don't know what that thing is, and I certainly don't have this so-called token.

But this stubborn man never let me in, and out of my heart, I took out my general token, hoping that it would have some effect.

As soon as the manager saw my token, he immediately knelt down and saluted, saying something damn unknown to the general. I just thought he was talking nonsense, let him get up, and lead me to some of the books I wanted.

Because of what he thought was rude, he was much more attentive to the work, and his legs and feet were also nimble, and it didn't take long to get out all the books I needed.

Seeing him like this, I suddenly had the idea of exchanging him with Qishuo. But when I think about it, if Qishuo is in this place, I'm afraid that the entire empty building will be in chaos. Thinking so, I laughed. It made the manager who had been panicking just now think that I was going to do something with him.

After I left, the steward saluted me and sent me out of the door. So much so that I now realize that I am from the position of general. In the past, under the strength of midnight, I have always positioned myself as the person under the general, and it seems that today's events are indeed beneficial.

On the way, I entrusted the books to some of my subordinates, so that they could put the books that I urgently needed on my desk. And they did the same.

Looking at their departing figures, I was relieved. Now I'm going to go back to my house and eat, and I'll come back after a little rest. I remember that when I came back, I had to see Qishuo, because my words always counted.

Along the way, I walked by myself, as a military general, I was not as good as others to use a sedan chair, Midnight and Jun Youxiao and others were on foot. Out of my old habit, I walked in the direction of Midnight's House, but after walking part of it, I realized that I had made a mistake.

I sneered and laughed at myself in my heart, and then changed my way to my own house, so that no one would realize that I was on the wrong path.

Back at the General's Mansion, Lao Hong walked out first, and he greeted him at the door. At first, I didn't pay much attention to my mansion, but now that I look at it, I just think it's a lot more gorgeous than a midnight house. Just sitting on the north and facing south layout, outsiders feel that the people living here are not ordinary.

The pair of stone lions at the door, which shows the general's style, were made by the most top-notch craftsmen, and even if you look closely, you can't find any flaws. On the eaves are cyan glazed tiles with special patterns, and the mocking wind on them is also one of the most genuine.

The Realm Lord should have thought that the treasures I saw in Guan Yunyu's library and the treasures I saw in the books were top-notch, so ordinary things couldn't get into my eyes. But he's wrong, I don't care, I'm just interested in it, but I'm not going to force it.

"How the general walks, next time I will order a few subordinates to take the general over. ”

"No, I like to walk. ”

"The meals were all ready, and I was about to send them to the general, but I didn't expect the general to come. ”

With that, Lao Hong led me to the dining room. As he walked, he introduced that the dining room was in the side room on the left, and the study room was in the side room on the right, and the hall room facing the door was used to pick up customers. Behind the gate is the corridor and the dwellings of the underlings, so there is not much to know. There are two doorways between the side house and the hall house, which lead to the backyard.

Lao Hong said and pulled me to the backyard, the backyard is not as big as I thought, there is a path in the middle that divides the yard into two parts, and some plants are planted in the separated places. Directly opposite is my bedroom, which occupies more than half of my bedroom, and the small piece on the left is another study. The east and west compartments are guest rooms that are used to stay with some visitors.

Originally, this compartment was used to live for children, but since there was none, they used it to pick up customers.

I saw that the West Chamber was being cleaned up by the subordinates, so I asked, "Is anyone coming?"

"It was ordered by the realm lord himself, but I don't know who the old slave is. ”

"That's right. ”

No matter who it is, when the time comes, I just treat each other politely, regardless of whether I know that person or not. Since it was ordered by the realm lord, then I will treat that person well.

After reading it, Lao Hong led me to the side house where I dined. I sat on the finely carved Nanmu table and stool, and I only felt that the realm lord had really put a lot of effort into it, and everything was good, but I didn't let others notice my luxury.

Seeing these painstaking delicate treasures, I felt in my heart that I really couldn't do anything against the realm lord anymore. Maybe that's what he's for.

Fortunately, the meals and utensils are ordinary, and with the Realm Lord's careful heart, he will not let go of these, and he should be afraid that I will get tired of it.

After the meal, I thought that the matter was over, but I didn't want Lao Honglai to have something to say. But everything still has to go back to the bedroom, which is the place where private things are ordered.

I sat on the rosewood chair in the bedroom and looked at the few delicate-looking little guys brought by Lao Hong, who should be in charge of my daily life. I don't have the heart to choose carefully, but this matter is also very important, that is, I choose a kind face and stay by my side.

"What's your name?"

"Sparrows. ”

"Strange name. "I laughed at the name on the surface, but in my heart I was actually breaking the question.

Lao Hong gave a few orders, and stepped back after I gave them the order to retreat. I lay on the bed, not caring about those trivial matters, just touching my necklace, thinking about today's events, my heart was both relieved and uneasy.

All of this was ordered by the Realm Lord, and he told me the secret that only the Realm Lord could know since ancient times, which means that he has accepted me, and that such an important fragment of Lan Yun is in my hands. But his every instruction today is biased in favor of his two sons, as if I let them deserve it, because I am a descendant who is not rightly named. Looking at Lao Hong, they are clearly the people used by the realm lord to spy on me, and there is no need to choose those little guys.

Thinking about it, I fell asleep. After taking a nap, I didn't wait for the Sparrow to wake me up, so I put on my clothes and got up and walked into the empty building.

Lao Hong didn't sleep, and when he saw me out of the house, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask me something about sleeping, and reprimanded the spine bird guarding outside the house.

"Don't talk about him, is it wrong for me to wake up on my own? I don't like the red futon, the bed is too soft, and nothing else. ”

I didn't give Lao Hong a chance to continue to say anything, so I went out directly. I pushed away the subordinates who wanted to send me off, and walked to the empty building by myself. Coincidentally, I met Jun Youxiao who was followed by a subordinate on the way.

"What a coincidence, are you alone?" Jun Youxiao asked.

"Well, I'm afraid of noisy people when there are too many people. ”

"Your method is good, they do have a lot of inconvenience themselves. Jun Youxiao glanced at his entourage.

We came to the East Garden together, Jun Youxiao went to his own building, and I went to the empty building.

Midnight never left, or midnight came early. After saying hello to Midnight, I sat down in the upper seat of the Midnight room. Drinking a stronger tea. In the middle of the night, he was approving some papers, and he didn't even look up at me.

"You come to me like this, and others will see what it looks like. ”

"How would I know what other people's eyes look like. ”

Midnight put down the pen and said, "What I said before, you will only cause us trouble for no reason. ”

I put down the teacup in my hand and got up to leave.

"Say just two words, that's it. It's boring. Midnight said.

"Since this is the case, you are so afraid of trouble, wouldn't it be good if we broke off like this, and that day it would be as if nothing happened. In the future, you will be General Mu, I will be General Yan, and we will only be at the same level. ”

I was about to push the door open when I heard Midnight stand up and she walked towards me, but not too close.

"Does it have to be like this?"

"I was wondering if it had to be this way, too, but what you did in the middle of the night forced me to do it. I just think that if you don't look down on me and feel that being with me makes you lose face, then just say it, I don't want to be like this. Sneaky, I have been secretly living for more than ten years, and my identity and demeanor are all sneaky. ”

This time, Midnight grabbed my hand, turned over and said, "I didn't say anything, I didn't think about anything, all this was your own thoughts, didn't you?"

I didn't answer, I was just acquiescing. All of this was really my imagination, and it didn't show anything in the middle of the night.

"If there is another person who is much better than me, her temper, her looks, and her status are better than mine, then what will you choose?"

"I'm sorry, midnight. I'm not in a very good mood today, my heart is very messy, and as for your vexatious question, I'm not in the mood to answer it. You go on, I'll go back. ”

I left midnight behind and left on my own. It's not so much that I'm leaving, it's that I'm fleeing. It's not that I can't answer Midnight's question, I just don't have the mood to answer. If it is true, then I will answer from the bottom of my heart, I only love Midnight alone. However, if midnight thinks about it, I won't think about it. Midnight, are you worried about me, or what, what do you think?

Back in my room, I tried to forget all the things in my mind and focus on tidying up my work. Qishuo had already returned, but I was afraid of disturbance, so I randomly sent him a task, and he did so.

After finishing the paperwork in my hand, I reached for the book I had prepared in the morning and looked at it intently. I smelled the incense burning in the house and was shocked.

"What kind of incense is this?" I asked Qishuo, who had already returned.

"I don't know, this was brought by General Midnight, and it was said that it was for the general to use for your meditation. ”

Midnight really still has me in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have brought me incense as soon as he came back. I was happy in my heart, and I felt that my attitude towards Midnight just now was really worse. But going back now is something that will be said.

I took out the best piece of paper, wrote what I thought on it, and put it in a brocade box.

"Qishuo, give this to Midnight and say that this is my gratitude. ”

"Yes. Qishuo replied and sent the thing to Midnight.

I was so happy that I could read the book, so I flipped through all the books on the table. These books all record things about Lan Yun, and although what is recorded in them is not as extraordinary as the realm lord said, it doesn't hurt to know more.

I kept reading the books until it got dark. Luckily, I just got back, so I don't have anything to deal with. Qishuo has already returned, and whether his mission is completed or not is reflected on his face. Judging by the look on his face, he did a good job of this important task.

"General, I've heard that there is another war. Qishuo saw that I was in a good mood, so he asked on the side.

"With whom?" I said, putting down the book in my hand.

"The people of the Que Demon Clan. They're murderous. ”

I stood up and asked, "Where did you hear that?"

"Nothing, my uncle said. ”

Few people know about this, so it's hard to know what his uncle's role is.

"What else did he say?"

Qishuo looked embarrassed and said, "Originally, my uncle didn't let me tell it, but I thought the general knew, so I said it." Who knows, general, you actually don't know. Then it's all right, the general should just listen to a joke. ”

"There is no such joke. ”

"Oh my general, I only know a little bit about it, and I don't know the rest. I'm just a servant of the general, how much can I do. ”

"Then who is your uncle, I would like to pay a visit. ”

"No, my uncle doesn't like to see other people, and if the general goes, he will know that I have said it. Then I will have no good fruit to eat. ”

When I think about it, it's true that this doesn't do any good for Qishuo. Now Qishuo refuses to say, if I force each other, not only will I not be able to ask anything, but it will break the relationship between us. I was reckless.

"In that case, I won't ask any more. It's getting dark, I'm going home, will you go back?"

"The general wants to go. ”

I listened to him, cleaned up the table briefly, and handed over the rest to Nanashuo. But within a few steps, I stopped. I really don't want to go back to the General's Palace, where I am terrified by the furnishings and the people, where I am like a captive beast.

I couldn't help it, when I returned to the house, I ate hastily, pretended to be sleepy, and slept directly on the bed. No matter what Lao Hong had anything important to say, I didn't even hear it, and even shut the sparrow out of the door.

The next day, I came to the empty building, and everyone looked at me wrongly. Some of them were just generals who were slightly lower than me and better than me, and they still had evil smiles on their faces. Even Ansima came up and hooked me on the shoulder, saying something strange.

Because of midnight yesterday, I didn't go directly to Midnight's room, but to my own room. Seven Shuo was in there tidying up my room, the cleanest room I've ever seen, as neat as the one in the middle of the night.

"Is there something going on?" I asked.

"The general will know in a moment, it's a good thing anyway. The realm lord gave the general orders, but Qishuo couldn't say it. You go to the general's room at midnight first, and you'll know when you get to the general. ”

I finally didn't go there at midnight today, but this time I was even driven over. It just so happened that at this time, the people there invited me to come at midnight. When I asked him what it was, he just laughed and said I would know when I passed.

I looked at Qishuo, and then at this person, and I just felt that today was very different.

It was midnight, so I walked faster. When I opened the door and called Midnight, I saw Midnight staring at me strangely in the house.

There were a lot of people gathered in this room, and the top seat in the middle of the night was reserved for the Commander Mu, and the rest of the people were like I had never seen before. They all looked at me and didn't understand who I was. Only a person in the room who looked like a gorgeous girl did not look back at me, and her demeanor was very dignified.

"He is General Yan Chenchi. "Midnight introduced me.

At this time, everyone in the room changed their expressions, and even praised me. Just as the midnight conversation ended, the girl turned her head and looked at me. I looked at her and felt that she had an indescribable beauty, a beauty completely different from midnight.

Midnight's look was very bad, and she had always had this Qinggao in her eyes and didn't know where to go. Who the people in the house were, no one explained to me who the girl was and how she could be with us.

I was already very messy in my heart, but after seeing this, I only felt that I was a mess, and I didn't want to sort it out, so I was already discouraged.

I knew right away who they were, but looking at Midnight's look, I knew that I had to be very mentally prepared.
