After chatting for a while, Ling Yinyun changed into a military uniform, tucked his knife around his waist, and was on duty at night.

Ling Yinyun and Geng Xingfeng happened to meet Fang Xu who was stargazing, so they went together. After passing through a ditch, he found several figures sneaky, and Fang Xu fixed his eyes and recognized one of them as Bai Wan. After Ling Yinyun asked, she realized that she was Bai Zilan's half-sister.

Fang Xu stepped forward, bowed and said, "I don't know what Miss Bai is here?" Bai Wan smiled and pointed to the back, and everyone followed her gesture to see a man being held down by the shoulder and pouring wine into his mouth. Bai Wan said disappreciably: "He lost the sword competition, so he was punished for drinking." ”

Geng Xingfeng's face was displeased, and he said sharply: "This is no longer a punishment for drinking, but for pouring wine." ”

Bai Wan glanced at him and said coldly, "Who are you?" ”

Fang Xu said lightly: "This is the deputy chief soldier of Xuequan Guan Geng, and the one next to him is Captain Ling." ”

Bai Wan's eyes lit up, stared for a long time, and said with a light smile: "You are Ling Yinyun?" I often hear my father and brother mention you, and they say that you are a rare talent. ”

Ling Yinyun shrugged and said, "I don't dare to be ashamed of this false name. ”

Bai Wan snorted coldly and said, "Don't pretend to be a humble gentleman in front of me, I won't eat this." Well, since my father and brother value you so much, then you compete with me with a sword, and I want to see if you are really so powerful. Ling Yinyun secretly shouted that it was not good, if it was a simple competition, he would be confident and fearless. But the other party is Bai Zilan's own sister, so she can't offend her.

Fang Xu also saw his embarrassment, came forward to play a round, and said with a smile: "It's late at night, if General Bai finds out that Miss Bai is wandering here, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." ”

Bai Wan said unhappily: "Don't use him to press me, I'm not afraid of him." She looked at Ling Yinyun and said provocatively: "You refuse to compete with me, are you afraid of losing to me?" ”

Geng Xingfeng saw that she was a girl and aggressive, and couldn't help but say: "Hmph, you said you wanted to compete, but whether you win or lose, it is not good for him." He is a military attaché, and even if he defeats you, he will be said to be invincible. ”

Bai Wanliu's eyebrows were raised, and she said angrily: "Okay, then I'll find someone to compete with him, this is always okay, right?" Before the words were finished, Yuan Zhong and Pu Du walked over together. Fang Xu saw the two of them, frowned slightly, leaned over to Ling Yinyun's ear, and said, "On the left is Yuan Zhong, who is Jiang Ping's general, and on the right is Pudu, who is the son of the lieutenant of Luzhou County." Alas, neither of these two is easy to mess with, so don't act recklessly. ”

Ling Yinyun nodded and said, "Don't worry, Ling has his own measure." ”

Bai Wan saw the two whispering in a low voice, she was very displeased, and urged: "Come on, are you comparable?" ”

Ling Yinyun took a moment to complete and said calmly: "Thanks to Miss Bai for being so important, Ling is very gracious, but now it is on the night shift, and it is really not suitable to fight with others." If he steals half a day of leisure, he will definitely learn something. He secretly thought, in short, get through this pass first, see her once another day, and avoid it once.

How could Bai Wan let him go so easily, pursed her lips and said, "If you refuse to fight, I will treat you as a loser." Since you lose, you have to drink three cups of penalty wine. ”

Ling Yinyun knew that she would be unreasonable, so she smiled indifferently at first, then her eyes were sharp, and she said coldly: "If Ling Mou wants to drink this cup of punishment wine, it is not a difficult matter, but there is a military law that people on duty are not allowed to drink, and if they drink themselves or force others to drink, they will be dealt with by military law." Dare to ask Miss Bai, are you willing to bear this crime? Bai Wan was speechless for a moment, her eyes were stunned, no matter how much she messed around, she also knew that the military order was like a mountain and could not be violated.

Fang Xu smiled, secretly pleased that this plan was very good, this move really made Bai Wan unable to refute, only to see her stare for a long time, and said angrily: "You show me a walk!" She turned around and left with Yuan Zhong and Pu Du.

Geng Xingfeng said lightly: "What a big Miss Bai, she is so blind. Chu Yihou is righteous and awe-inspiring, the heroes obey him, and General Bai is gentle and elegant, and treats people politely, how did he come out of this rude? ”

Fang Xu touched his beard and said with a wry smile: "As a county guard, Chu Yihou is busy with official business, so he has no time to control her. ”

Geng Xingfeng snorted coldly and said, "If you continue like this, you will eventually break into a big disaster." ”

After everyone had gone around for a while, they did not return to their accounts until the end of the day.

Ling Yinyunfu entered the account, and the Ji sisters waited for him to change his clothes, but he wanted to refuse but was rejected in unison. Ling Yinyun thought of Yuan Xiaoling, and after asking, she learned that she couldn't let go of her reserve, so she didn't dare to stay in the tent for a long time, so she only sat for a while and left.

After the lights went out, there was a sound of rustling outside the tent, Ling Yinyun was shocked, and pulled out a dagger, but was strangled by someone who came. A familiar voice came, whispering, "It's me." ”

Ling Yinyun showed surprise on his face, and he realized that he was Bai Zilan. Bai Zilan lay down and said happily: "I have hidden two beautiful maids, it seems that you are very blessed." ”

Ling Yinyun remembered what happened earlier, and said tremblingly: "What did you come to me for?" ”

Seeing his vigilant tone, Bai Zilan sighed lightly: "Alas, I really shouldn't have said those words to teach you to guard against me like this." ”

Ling Yinyun was worried that the Ji sisters would hear the conversation, and whispered, "It's not appropriate to talk about this matter now. ”

Bai Zilan smiled and said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry, do you think they don't know anything?" Fang Xu and I have known each other for many years, how could I not know what I was thinking. ”

Ling Yinyun was puzzled and said, "Why did you embark on this path? ”

Bai Zilan took a long breath and said solemnly: "Although the king is mediocre, he can be regarded as passable, but it is a pity that the three sons under his knees are all banes. In the case of the crown prince, this person is a virtuous corporal on the surface, but in fact he is unscrupulous, occupying land and bullying farmers, and robbing the people's daughters. How can such a cunning person talk about governing the country and how can he level the world? ”

Ling Yinyun couldn't help but say, "What about Le Pingjun and Yongshan Jun? ”

Bai Zilan shook her head and sighed: "Since ancient times, even if the second son is virtuous and loves the people, he cannot inherit the unification, not to mention, Le Pingjun lives a luxurious life and spends extravagantly. Yongshan Jun was so happy that he wantonly conscripted soldiers. These two are as good as the prince's absurd behavior. ”

Ling Yinyun saw that he was indignant and dissatisfied with the status quo, and knew that the reason why he had this idea could be described as freezing three feet, and it was by no means a day's cold. He said helplessly: "Why did you find me? ”

Bai Zilan said: "You are good at war, and all countries must rely on the military to consolidate their territory." ”

Ling Yinyun asked rhetorically, "What if I just want to retreat to the mountains and forests?" ”

Bai Zilan said: "What if everyone in the world thinks for themselves and doesn't care about others? Farmers do not farm, merchants do not do business, and the power of the country is declining. When the neighboring nations see their decline and take advantage of the opportunity to enter, will the people be able to live and work in peace and contentment? ”

Ling Yinyun frowned and said, "Alas, I'm just a reckless man. ”

Bai Zilan shook her head and said, "If someone who is not good at fighting gives orders, even if you know that this person's decision will kill most of the brothers, are you still willing to obey the order?" Today, you followed General Yuan and did not empathize, because he was a famous general, used troops appropriately, and planned far-sightedly. ”

Ling Yinyun's face was embarrassed, and for a moment, he was at a loss, although what Bai Zilan said did not make him agree, it was not unreasonable. As a sergeant, any decision is related to the life and death of a soldier, and if you are not careful, you will regret it.

For a long time, the two were silent and no longer spoken, Ling Yinyun didn't know if he was asleep, but if he spoke again, he was worried that he would mention this matter, so he struggled a little in his heart, and finally chose to close his eyes and fall asleep.

In the early morning, Ling Yinyun woke up slowly, he looked around, and did not notice Bai Zilan's figure, as if he had left. He saw the Ji sisters holding the hairpins, holding up the copper basin containing water, their eyes were bright, staring at him. Ling Yinyun got up and collected his clothes, washed a little, explained a few words, then walked out of the tent, came to the room, picked a pigeon, sprinkled it with salt and pepper, and snorted. He looked at Wang Xi, who was in charge of the meal, and praised: "Your cooking skills are really good, and the game last night was also delicious." ”

Wang Xi saw him complimenting, but for some reason, he just smiled awkwardly, and his face was full of sadness, and he seemed to be preoccupied, but after Ling Yinyun asked, he learned an amazing fact. It turned out that Teng Yu was drunk last night and unfortunately fell off his horse and died. Hearing this, Ling Yinyun was surprised, showed regret, and lowered his head to lament. Wang Xi saw that he was sad, and said, "Captain Ling, I wonder if Captain Teng talked nonsense last night?" ”

Ling Yinyun frowned and said, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Wang Xi was uneasy, looked around, lowered his voice, and said: "I have been working in the house for more than ten years, I know countless people, and I have quite a lot of experience, I understand that Captain Ling is an upright person, so I might as well tell you the truth." I heard that Captain Teng did not fall from his horse at all, but was beaten to death, and he died in a miserable state, covered with bruises, and his head was bleeding. ”

Ling Yinyun was shocked at first, and then said in a deep voice: "If you don't see it with your own eyes, everyone will be the same, I'm afraid it's a rumor, don't spread it randomly." ”

Wang Xi shook his head and said firmly: "Even if I don't see it, I will never believe that he fell off the horse." If you think about it carefully, the horses here are all controlled, how could Captain Teng hide from the world and easily lead the horses away. Moreover, he was drunk, and who would give him the horse? ”

Ling Yinyun felt very reasonable, and asked, "If this is the case, then why was he beaten to death?" ”

Wang Xi looked helpless, took a long breath, and said: "Captain Teng is upright, heroic and uninhibited, but unfortunately every time he gets drunk, he often talks nonsense, and his nonsense is chaotic. In the previous military camp, it would be fine, but there are many people here, and if you are not careful, you will offend the royal power and nobles, how can there be a way to live. ”

After Wang Xi mentioned this, Ling Yinyun remembered that Teng Yu complained about the prince yesterday, and couldn't help but feel chills in her heart and shiver. The people present at that time, in addition to him, there were Geng Xingfeng and Su He, Geng Xingfeng would not talk nonsense, the only possibility was that Su He was informing.

Ling Yinyun patted Wang Xi's shoulder and comforted: "People can't be resurrected after death, so don't think too much." He paused, and suddenly said, "By the way, what about Captain Su?" ”

Wang Xi shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Captain Su didn't know what kind of good luck he had, but he was actually selected by Mrs. Jiang and accepted him as a general in the house. He is good now, he no longer has to go to war, he just needs to follow Mrs. Jiang, eat and drink spicy, and enjoy all his power. ”
