Chapter 49: Doubts
In the past few days, Jiang Yingnian's heart has always been in some kind of indescribable anxiety.
On the one hand, he chose to hide Qu Yin by his side, which was a psychological contest in itself, he had to pretend to be indifferent in front of everyone, and then wait for the opportunity to let her go reasonably.
But since there is this matter in the name of "receiving gifts", no matter what the actual situation is, the eastern camp will not be able to hide this rumor after all.
He was afraid that it would reach the north, reach someone's ears.
On the other hand, the imperial court sent a letter to Xiang Ju'an, and suddenly wanted to reward Xiang Ju'an for his meritorious deeds, but Xiang Ju'an's official position had already climbed to the highest, and the matter of rewarding him was all up to his own will. And for this reward, Emperor Shu unexpectedly also gave Jiang Yingnian, the same batch of protΓ©gΓ©s who entered the camp, some shares.
How to say, this reward is only in the name of reward, and the power to share the reward is still in Xiang Ju'an's hands. The general meaning of Emperor Shu's will is that all the soldiers have merit in guarding the border passes, but I can't see the land, and I hope that the general will reward the people with lofty ideals for me.
Xiang Ju'an received the order and revealed it to everyone without reservation, making it clear that he was ready to give his subordinates two direct generals.
Special to General Hanrong and General Hancai.
Jiang Yingnian felt itchy in his heart after hearing it, who doesn't want such an honor? But the wolf has more meat and less meat, and only two places have been given, and there are so many officers and soldiers in the army, how good do you have to be to be able to do this important task?
Not only did he want it, but he also got the idea of another spot.
After Ju'an knew about the reward, he had already sent someone to the north, Jiang Yingnian thought about it, and sent an urgent letter to the north overnight.
There are not many things to say about Thaksin:
Ah Yu, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed? Today, I specially sent a letter to inquire about the matter, and the general planned to select two people as General Hanrong and General Hancai.
I'm very impressed, and at the same time I care about what you mean.
It is better to work together with you than to work alone, and I hope that one day I can win the great general's weight with you and enjoy this honor together.
Year of the Silk.
Then he waited expectantly for a reply.
The north soon replied to the letter, Jiang Yingnian paid attention to whether the messenger had arrived in the camp every day, and the messenger had just arrived in the east, and before he could get off the horse, Jiang Yingnian hurriedly greeted him and asked if there was any letter from him.
I saw that he took the letter and hurriedly opened the envelope, and when he saw Guan Jiyu's handwriting, he couldn't help but laugh.
There are few numbers on the letter: As you expect, for the glory of Nanqin and the glory of the Qingzi Camp of Jiangfu, you must do your best to fight for glory and victory!
Jiang Yingnian held the letter paper to her chest, and her mood could not be calmed down for a long time.
It was the first time he had such a wonderful feeling, and he himself thought it was incredible.
Jiang Yingnian asked himself if he was not a self-motivated person, in the past, he was not interested in everything that needed to be fought over.
Those things that love to compete for and grab reputation are all done by the people in the Qingzi Camp, and he is not uncommon.
But this time, as soon as he heard Xiang Ju'an say that he planned to choose two people to seal this honor, Jiang Yingnian was immediately moved, and his first reaction was: These two places, it would be good if they were given to him and Guan Jiyu.
Guan Jiyu naturally won't refuse, she has been squeezing her head in major competitions to compete for the first place since she was a child, and she can't wait to have this opportunity.
Jiang Yingnian was both excited and a little worried, he remembered that Helan Yan was also very good, and even many places were above him, what if Guan Jiyu and Helan were finally selected?
Once this setting is formed, Jiang Yingnian will not feel good in his heart, so he can only work hard secretly and take all the trivial matters in the army more diligently and seriously.
And Han Zhen's side, since he dedicated that "big gift" to Jiang Yingnian, he has been close to Jiang Yingnian intentionally or unintentionally.
Jiang Yingnian saw that he was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and in order to prevent Han Zhen from discovering the clues, he told Qu Yin: "Even if it is pretended, it must be pretended." β
Qu Yin was given to him, and he was the person of Jiang Yingnian.
Even if it's fake, it has to be real.
Qu Yin had a lot of wounds on her body, and Jiang Yingnian couldn't find anyone else to help her with medicine, so she could only do it herself.
Speaking of this, he is still very uncomfortable doing this kind of thing. Qu Yin was even more embarrassed, other parts of the body could be medicated by themselves, but only the one on the back, it was not enough, and it was impossible to see, so she had to grit her teeth and let Jiang Ying work.
Jiang Yingnian's face was red, her ears were scratching, and she was at a loss as she held the medicine bottle, not knowing how to start.
That fair-skinned and tender back was like a thorn full of thorns for Jiang Yingnian, and he couldn't do anything.
There were several times when he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and threw the medicine bottle aside, but thinking that if he didn't give Qu Yin medicine in time, her wound would inevitably suppurate, and it would be difficult to treat, Jiang Yingnian gritted her teeth and picked up the medicine bottle again.
Qu Yin always looked loveless, and said, "General Jiang, why do you have to embarrass yourself like this? It's better to just kill me. β
Jiang Yingnian said: "I won't kill people indiscriminately, you are not wrong, I will never be able to kill you." β
Qu Yin is silent and quiet most of the time, she seems to have changed as a different person, and she is no longer the noisy little girl she used to be.
Jiang Yingnian didn't dare to take off his coat at night, the room he lived in was not big, and there was no place to lay on the ground if he wanted to sleep, so he had to climb into bed silently and share a bed with Qu Yin.
He slept in his clothes all night, and before going to bed, he said to Qu Yin seriously: "I know it's inappropriate to do this, but under special circumstances, I hope you can understand." I know you're unmarried, and I'm not going to talk nonsense and tarnish your name. β
Qu Yin just turned his head slowly, glanced at him, and whispered: "My life is worried now, do you still care about any reputation?" β
In the dark, Jiang Yingnian was silent and said, "It's not just you, I'm still thinking about myself." β
Qu Yin didn't say a word, he still continued: "If it was in the past, it would have been forgotten, but now that I have someone I like, I care more about these things." β
As he was talking, there was a knock at the door, and Jiang Yingnian immediately became vigilant and asked, "Who?!" β
"Master Jiang, it's me." Han Zhen's voice came slowly.
Jiang Yingnian sat up and said, "It's so late, is there anything wrong with Lord Han?" β
Han Zhen laughed in a unique disguise, and said, "Come and see if you still like the gift I gave?" β
Jiang Yingnian was stunned for only a moment, then took off her outer shirt like lightning, even her underwear was stripped clean, and she was shirtless and only wore pants, and then went to open the door.
He asked Han Zhen with a wicked smile: "Lord Han is really in good spirits, unlike us who have women in the room, how can we still have the energy to wander around, in the end, it is the most reserved person in the gentle township!" β
Han Zhen saw that he was shirtless and his trouser belt was loose, and there was a sense of relief in his eyes.
Han Zhen looked into the room again, he was about the same height as Jiang Yingnian, Jiang Yingnian couldn't completely block his vision, seeing Han Zhen's action, it was fake to say in his heart that he wasn't nervous.
Jiang Yingnian couldn't help but block it with her body again, and said, "Lord Han, you said that you will give it to me, that is my thing, you look at it like this, I am not very happy." β
Han Zhen had no choice but to take a few steps back and said, "I'm just concerned about whether Lord Jiang is satisfied with this woman, and I don't want to come suddenly and disturb Lord Jiang's interest." β
After saying that, Han Zhen retreated, Jiang Yingnian breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door and turned around, only to see that Qu Yin had also taken off his shirt at some point, left a close-fitting belly pocket, and deliberately turned his back to the door.
This silent coordination is the most realistic.
Jiang Yingnian said: "It's enough for me to deal with him alone, you don't have to ...... like this."
Qu Yin put on his clothes and said indifferently: "That person is very cunning, he can't do enough drama, how can he deceive him?" β
Jiang Yingnian also quickly got dressed, and the two returned to their respective positions, living in the same room and sleeping in the same bed in silence.
After a long time, Qu Yin took the initiative to speak and said, "I don't know what it is now?" I'm in the same bed as my brother and the enemy......"
Jiang Yingnian knew that she couldn't let go of her feelings, and watching her brother being killed in the main city of the Yanjiang Corridor would not be easily forgotten by anyone.
He chose to be silent, the whole room was eerily silent, and he seemed to hear the sound of tears falling on the pillow.
Qu Yin continued: "General Jiang, do you know that I once admired you? β
She said very calmly, as if she was telling someone else's story, and said: "When I first saw you, you were in high spirits, and none of your Xuli army dared to chase after you, but you, who alone only carried a longbow, dared to chase after you regardless of it. β
Jiang Yingnian even slowed down her breathing, lest she disturb her rare speech.
In the dark, the two could only hear each other's breathing, Jiang Yingnian listened to the song and said slowly: "That day, even if I fell into your hands, you didn't embarrass me in the slightest, you gave me all your own horses, you said it wasn't fun here, let me not come again." At that time, I was stupid, and your frowning and serious words touched my heart. β
Qu Yin's tears were still flowing, she couldn't help choking a little, but continued: "At that time, I was still very naΓ―ve, I thought that as long as I persuaded my brother and let our lonely army no longer disturb Xu Li, we could end these contradictions...... But how did I know that you came for his life? β
Jiang Yingnian's heart was poked uncomfortably, but he could only say calmly: "That's a matter of no way, do you know that I also have a brother?" My eldest brother was killed by your lonely soldiers when he was on his way to the northern border! I can't let go of this kind of hatred. β
Qu Yin closed his eyes, could no longer restrain the sorrow in his heart, shook his shoulders and cried: "Are you really sure that your eldest brother was killed by the lonely wandering soldiers?" As far as I know, although the eldest brother has the intention of disturbing Xiang Ju'an's army, he only intends to disturb the army, and has never had the intention of killing the people of Xuli! β
On the top of Jiang Yingnian's head, there seemed to be a thunderbolt, and after a while, he asked, "Are you really sure?" β
Qu Yin calmed down and said weakly: "My brother just wants to frustrate Xiang Ju'an's spirit, he has just ascended the throne, and he knows that Xu Li and the Western Helu have had an alliance relationship for many years, how could he take the risk to attack your Xu Li?" β
"It's only because my brother is young and vigorous, and he wants to provoke Xiang Ju'an, so he was put on this hat." She turned her head and said to Jiang Yingnian: "There is strict discipline in the Lone Army, how can there be a stray soldier who runs beyond the border line to the territory of Xuli?" Jiang Yingnian, I don't think that your eldest brother's death was caused by the so-called lonely wandering soldiers. β
Qu Yin's last sentence made Jiang Yingnian's blood flow backwards, and his chest felt like a boulder had been crushed, making him breathless.
Jiang Yingnian's eyes widened in horror, and there was darkness in front of him, and he couldn't see through it no matter how hard he tried.
went to the north heart, was admitted to the camp, and entered the border gate to live in the camp.
It's ridiculous, what he thinks is the path of revenge, it's ridiculous.
He suddenly remembered that Guan Jiyu had told him that the people under Du Yuanqiao looked strange.
There were many doubts, and he felt that everything was full of doubts for a while.
But he was in a state of confusion, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.
At the moment he is just a loser who can be easily defeated!
Jiang Yingnian couldn't help but laugh bitterly, the expression on his face had never been so distorted.
It's ridiculous, he can't find the right enemy for revenge.
Jiang Yingnian's sudden laughter shocked Qu Yin, and he called his name several times, but Jiang Yingnian still didn't react.
He sat up suddenly, picked up the curved bow on the table, rushed out like crazy without putting on his shoes, and shouted frantically at Xiang Ju'an's room: "Go to his guards, Lao Tzu is gone!" β
