Most of the bandits on Washan were from reckless backgrounds, so naturally they couldn't compare to the well-trained soldiers, and as expected, they received the news that the bandits in Washan had been subsided a few days later. The county order of this county also attached great importance to it, and was busy setting up a banquet to celebrate for Xue Shao, but Xue Shao refused to delay the return trip.

This market teahouse is a good place to listen to the excitement and inquire about the news. Although this place is some distance from the capital, it is not a remote place, and the news is quite well-informed. Some people say that the county order is so diligent, and it is one thing for General Xue to be meritorious in clearing bandits, but it is another thing for the people behind the Xue family. Now the hot King Yong has the grace of the Xue family, and the first emperor once promised the marriage of the daughter of the Yongwang and the Xue family, but he is not a person in the same boat? Even if it's not now, sooner or later it will be...

It wasn't until everything was over that Xue Shao knew that Lu Qingrong was going to go with them. Xue Shao called Xue Chang to his residence and glared at him, "You are bold and have taken matters into your own hands." ”

"Don't dare, the subordinates are just..."

Xue Shao frowned, "Just what?" What do big men do. ”

It's not that you're worried about the general, Xue Changxin said, and said: "I'm just worried about the safety of Taishi and them, if there is a mistake, please punish the general." ”

He said nothing, but Xue Shao had nothing to say... Halfway through, Xue Shao only put down one sentence and warned him: "Don't take it as an example." ”

"Yes!" Xue Chang knew that he had not made a mistake in this step, and said earnestly: "I heard that this Lu Niangzi studied under Taishi Ling, and I heard that she is familiar with Lao Zhuang, and she is familiar with the art of divination, and she has a wide range of knowledge. It's a pity..."

Xue Shao didn't expect Lu Qingrong to understand this, but Xue Chang was hesitant, which really made him impatient, he glanced at Xue Chang angrily, "If you don't want to say it well, you don't need to say it again in the future." ”

"The general is angry, angry. The subordinates didn't make a fool of themselves, but they just didn't know whether to say this or not. ”

Halfway through the words, is there any reason not to speak? "Speak!"

Xue Chang stubbornly said: "It's a pity that the general is not the same as Lu Niangzi, the general is a military general, and he reads military books on weekdays, which occasionally lasts the most... At most, it is Confucianism, even if it is with us on the return trip, I am afraid that the general and Lu Niangzi have nothing to say. ”

Xue Shao was suddenly silent, Xue Chang thought that his words had made sense of the general, but who knew that Xue Shao suddenly said: "Didn't you say that she is knowledgeable?" Didn't she even read military books, nor did she read Confucianism? Is this also erudition? ”

"It's... This..."That's right, no, it's not that Lu Niangzi wants to be courteous to you now!"

Xue Chang secretly pinched his sweat, "General, Lu Niangzi is also a woman, and she is not like us, if you don't read military books, doesn't it make sense?" The subordinates mean that if the general can secretly work hard and do what he likes, won't he be able to say more to Lu Niangzi? It's not a waste of the return trip, is it? ”

Xue Shao stared at him, thoughtfully, and nodded seriously, "That's right, you go down first." ”

"Yes." Xue Chang exhaled secretly, quite relieved, it seemed that the general had really opened his mind.

Xue Shao's army had already set foot on the way back to the capital, and Qingrong's carriage followed, and when she camped on the spot that night, Xue Chang was very discerning and arranged her camp behind Xue Shao.

Ah Zhen came in from outside quickly, "Sanniang, General Xue is here, saying that he wants to find you for something, but you want him to come in?" ”

Looking for her? Qingrong shook his head, this lonely man and widow are naturally not suitable to get along in the same room, "I'll go out." ”

He hadn't seen her since the first time he rescued her, and this was the second time she'd seen him. As soon as he walked out of the tent, he saw Xue Shao wearing a black round-necked robe, standing not far away, and the evening sun fell on his body, flickering and bright, adding a layer of solemn color to him, like a heavenly soldier and a god general. If you had those books in your hand, it wouldn't look so weird...

"General Xue." Qingrong stepped forward and saluted, "I don't know what the general is here for?" ”

Xue Shao coughed lightly and said, "I sent you some military books." ”

Qingrong was surprised, looked at him and said, "The Book of War? General, what do you mean by this? ”

Xue Shao said seriously, "Well, military books are often used on the battlefield, although you are a woman, but such a wonderful work, I think that both men and women can read and learn." Although I don't read much, I know that just reading those books is not a broad knowledge, and if you have a heart to learn, you should also read more books on the side. ”

He spoke in a loud voice, and even Ah Zhen and Song Yue, who were not far behind, heard it. Song Yue is full of strangeness, but Ah Zhen is not angry, this General Xue is just a military general, and he dislikes Sanniang for having no knowledge!

What is knowledgeable? Qingrong was puzzled, a little crying and laughing, and only took the book in his hand, "Thank you for the kindness of the general." But why did the general suddenly think of this? ”

"Although I have been practicing the art of war for many years, I also have many things that I don't understand. I heard that Sanniang is bright and intelligent, even if it is an obscure and esoteric book like Lao Zhuang, she also has a lot of experience, and she learns everything quickly. It is not difficult for you to come to such a book, and it would be great if you were willing to solve a problem or two for me when you were free. ”

Qingrong blinked unexpectedly, this is... What does it mean to ask her for advice?

Although she felt that it was a little strange that this person was chosen by herself, but remembering that he had helped him several times before, and today's words were extraordinarily sincere, Qingrong still did not say the words of refusal, "The general is in love, I should do my best." ”

"Hmm." Xue Shao looked at her, she was also dressed very plainly today, a dark green shirt skirt, and only a jasper hairpin on her head... It's green again, and she seems to like it.

Qingrong was a little uncomfortable by him, and she said: "If there is nothing to do, I will leave first, and the general will also go back." ”

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and the whole person was gentle and elegant, just like when he first saw her, the blue shadow lingered in his mind...

That day was only the day before he arrived in Cha'an County, and he saw a woman in a green shirt wearing a hat getting out of the carriage on the street, her demeanor was calm, originally unintentional, but he unintentionally caught a glimpse of the face under the tulle, elegant and refined, which he had never seen before. It's just that when I saw her again the next day, I found that she dared to kill the thief directly, and she was decisive, not at all like what she looked...

"General?" Qingrong noticed that he seemed to be a little absent-minded, and reminded him.

"I'll go first, you can go back." After saying that, he strode away without looking back.

Ay? What's the matter, it's fine just now, and I'm going to leave impatiently? Qingrong only felt that his temperament was really a little weird, so he just sighed and shook his head, and went back to the camp. How did she know that Xue Shao felt that she was embarrassed, and she couldn't hide her shame, so she had to leave quickly.

Ah Zhen and Song Yue followed Qingrong into the tent, and Ah Zhen muttered: "This general looks a little weird, he dislikes our Sanniang and doesn't say anything, he is so rude, he just leaves." ”

Song Yue laughed at her, "What a fool, if you dislike it, why do you say that you want to ask Sanniang later?" I think it's a drunkard, not a drinker. ”

"What's that?"

Song Yue just laughed vigorously, Ah Zhen wanted her to continue, but was interrupted by Qingrong, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you two, don't talk nonsense." ”

Mo said that Xue Shao and her were just new acquaintances, even if they really had those thoughts, what did it have to do with her? She was naturally grateful to him, but they were just the fate of Pingshui.

The army has been on the march for two nights, perhaps because of a great victory in the battle with Tibet, and now that they have come back and exterminated the thieves, the people have gradually relaxed. Li Wu is a deputy general in the army, and he and several of his soldiers drank and had fun in the camp tent that night, and those who drank and ate meat were especially easy to lose control under the stimulation of a few words...

"Then who is the girl brought by General Xue? Could it be his good look? ”

Someone sneered: "I've seen her appearance, she is a beauty, if it is really General Xue's good looks, where can he not go to her for a few days, and he can bear it wherever he goes?" ”

Just now, the man took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Really? How beautiful is it? ”

The man glanced at Li Wu, who was a little drunk, patted his ass and said, "Go, our deputy general is still here, it's your turn to daydream?" ”

"We haven't seen a woman in more than a year, can't we say a few words? went to Cha'an County to suppress bandits, General Xue put us outside the city, and in a blink of an eye, he brought a girl from the city, who knew that it was robbed there! Ask a few words what's wrong, just look at it and make it! Adjutant General, you said yes, right? ”

Li Wu squinted his eyes, and when he heard this, his heart was a little itchy, and he became interested, and said, "Let's go." Let's take a look at the beauty brought by Xue Shao! ”

Xue Shao counted the time, it's been two days, and I don't know if Qingrong has read the military book? Will it seem deliberate to look for it again today? He was a little upset, thinking that he was too much of a mother-in-law?

So, he got up suddenly, walked straight out, and met Xue Chang who came in. Xue Chang smiled a little meaninglessly, "Where is the general?" ”

"Eventful."

He pondered what to say, "Where have you seen these two days?" "Have you finished reading "The Chapter"? "I tried to find a conversation between the two, but I heard the voice of a woman shouting from the camp tent of Qingrong...

"Someone! Come on! ”

"What a call! If you can follow Xue Shao, you will never be able to tell me! ”

Xue Shao suddenly came back to his senses and rushed into Qingrong's camp tent, only to find two drunken soldiers breaking in. Ah Zhen dragged the other one stubbornly, and Li Wu was heading in the direction of Qingrong and Songyue. Xue Shao pulled away Li Wu, who was close to Qingrong, and punched him in the face violently, causing the other party to fall directly to the ground and unable to move. Before Li Wu could react, he directly dragged the person out, and the other soldier saw that it was Xue Shao coming, but he didn't dare to make any more trouble, and ran out with him, and kept shouting: "General, the general spares his life." ”

At this time, Xue Chang heard the voice, Xue Shao asked Li Wu to be tied up, and said loudly: "Vice General Li's heart is not right, and he wants to enter the camp to steal property, and he is lawless!" Drag them down and beat them with a hundred sticks! ”

A hundred military sticks! It's about beating people to death! Xue Changren was already clever, and seeing that these two people were drunk, most of them had bad intentions and wanted to do something, and they just happened to hit the muzzle of the general's gun. Xue Changxin said, fortunately, the general came quickly! "Yes."

The two soldiers shouted again and again: "The general spares his life!" The general spares his life! But Xue Shao didn't waver for the halfest, he didn't even look at it, and the cruelty in his eyes made people tremble.

"Today's matter, if anyone dares to mention it again, it will be dealt with by military law!"
