The eleventh day of the first month

Su Ziji washed, stood outside the tent with his hands folded and looked at the scene, the mountains in the distance were quite dreamy in the morning glow, and the snow-capped peaks were even more holy.

Some large birds skim through the air and hover over the peaks, making crisp calls.

In the past, Su Ziji probably only regarded this as an ordinary thing, but after the eagle incident, Su Ziji has been vigilant against these birds.

It's a pity that even the little fox can't tell which birds are spies and which birds are ordinary animals.

Thinking of the little fox, Su Ziji couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Since the fox was injured, he has been hiding in the hole, and for fear of infection in the middle, he cleaned the fur near its wound.

Probably let it be bald, this thing hurts his self-esteem, the little fox's wound is almost healed, but he has been sullen, so he has to be careful to coax.

"Master Su, this is your breakfast. A soldier carrying the food box came over at this time, and when he saw Su Ziji in front of the tent, he immediately sped up and handed over the food box.

Su Ziji gave a silver red envelope last time, but this time he didn't give it, only smiled and bowed his head.

Turned around and went back to the tent to open the food box, he didn't eat first, but took two chicken thighs wrapped in oiled paper, opened the chair, and whispered: "Xiaobai, it's time to eat." ”

After a while, the little fox came out, chirped twice with the probe, and wanted to retract again.

“...... Isn't it just bald, why do you mind like that?"

Gu Xian said: If you are bald, you will become stronger. ”

"Chirp!" the little fox cried out angrily, what Gu Xian, who said this?

Angry, Su Ziji took the opportunity to pick it up and take a closer look: "Your injury is healing quickly and has healed." ”

Shao Sisen's arrow wound has not yet healed completely, and the little fox's injury is no longer visible.

"Chirp!" the little fox cried twice, then moved his ears, sprang out of his arms, and jumped back into the hole.

Su Ziji casually covered the entrance of the cave, and when he got up, a familiar voice sounded outside: "Brother Su Xian, I'm Jian Qu, and I'm coming to you for a drink now." ”

Jian Qu really only brought wine this time.

Su Ziji invited him in, and when he saw that he was only carrying a jar of wine, he took out the cured meat and smoked chicken he had here, and drank it with him, guessing in his heart that Jian Qu came to drink early in the morning, and he was afraid that something would happen.

Jian Qu drank a glass of wine, his face was bloody, he pinched the wine glass, and thought for a long time before asking, "By the way, Brother Su Xian, do you know the current situation of the cottage?"

Su Ziji flashed "sure enough" in his heart, he also drank a cup, listened to the slight sound of the cup and plate, and said: "I have no official or position, unless the two Qin sent me over to talk about things, I only know some things that everyone in the army knows, unlike Brother Jian, you are Qian Shuai's staff, and you must have learned the news of the cottage early." ”

took a sip of wine and put it down, and smiled: "Can you please ask Brother Jian to tell the younger brother about the situation of the cottage, so that the younger brother can know in his heart." ”

This is exactly what it means, Jian Qu smiled: "This is nature!"

"Since I have come to you for a drink, these things, unless they are confidential, are naturally inexhaustible. ”

Just a little bit about the copycat situation.

Su Ziji had already known about these through the wild Dao people, but he didn't stop him, and nodded slightly when he listened.

Suddenly, I heard Jian Qu say that the cottage has always had sacrifices because of its worship of the gods. This was just Jian Qu casually saying, and Su Ziji's heart moved.

"Sacrifice?"

Jian Qu nodded, a little disapproving: "Yes, the mountain gods such as Dongshan, the Dharma Master, and the Yuan Mu, these are not uncommon, but recently I heard that it was the priestess who presided over the village ceremony, which was a little surprising." ”

Su Ziji originally looked at it this way, but now his heart is in a daze, and the cottage is connected with demons, do you know if these gods are monsters?

Priestess again?

Su Ziji was secretly attentive, thinking that he would have the opportunity to investigate the situation.

Jian Qu saw that Su Ziji's inquiry had nothing to do with Qian Shuai's confidentiality, and only asked about the cottage, but in fact, he was secretly relieved, and he was bitter in his heart.

He came to find Su Zizhi this time, but there was really no way.

Since that day and Qian Shuai were separated, in the days that followed, although Qian Shuai would occasionally summon him, every time his attitude towards him became more and more affectionate, which not only did not reassure Jian Qu, but made him not even sleep well, just in the past ten days, a lot of hair has fallen out.

Coming to Su Zizhi is also the last resort.

Su Ziji can promise that he has a chance to live, no matter how arrogant Qian Zhidong is, he will not assassinate him on the official ship for a small staff, and when he arrives in the capital, he will be even safer.

But whether Su Ziji can agree or not, Jian Qu has no bottom in his heart.

Anyone can see this big victory, Qian Zhidong will definitely return to the dynasty, even if he is not knighted, he is also a general, Su Ziji is just a person without a background, will he really be willing to offend Qian Shuai in order to save a person who has known him for a long time?

Although he will be in the capital at that time, he will not be assassinated, but he has a grudge against Xungui for no reason, and no one is willing to do it.

Jian Qu didn't think about this and hesitated for several days.

In the end, he chose to come over because he thought about it, Su Zizhi and Qian Zhidong grabbed merit, or he was not afraid of offending, after all, Su Zizhi refused Qian Zhidong's invitation before, and Jian Qu also heard about it.

It was with such a faint expectation that he came over, looking at the fact that he could talk and laugh, but in fact, his heart was as anxious as cooking.

Because he was afraid that Su Ziji would refuse, he threw away the last straw, and he didn't even dare to speak rashly, but when Su Ziji finished asking about the matter, he thought he had helped, so he cautiously said what he meant.

"Brother Su Xian, the enemy army has surrendered fifty-six villages, if there is no accident, I am afraid that the war in the southwest will end soon, no matter how good this southwest is, it is also a remote place in the end, and when the war is over, there is no need for people like me. ”

"I'm also a lifter, I'm going to go to the capital to participate in this exam, Brother Su Xian, when you leave, I just don't know...... Would you like to walk with me?"

As soon as Su Ziji understood, this was Jian Qu asking for protection in a vague way.

It is said that Jian Qu is just Qian Zhidong's staff, not an official, and he can leave at any time, but with Qian Zhidong's temperament, Jian Qu wants to go, and he is afraid that something will happen on the road.

Su Ziji originally planned to let Qian Zhidong die here at the end of this southwest war, Jian Qu felt okay for himself, and he was willing to be a favor, and smiled: "As long as Brother Jian doesn't dislike it, you can come to my ship at that time, adjacent to me, and you can discuss articles at sea." ”

"Brother Jian?" After speaking, he didn't hear Jian Qu speak, Su Ziji looked over and was taken aback.

Seeing that Jian Qu seemed to let out a breath all of a sudden, the whole person relaxed, not only that, but also the circles under his eyes were red, and there were hidden tears flickering.

"Brother Su Xian, your kindness, I Jian Qu really can't repay it!" said that, Jian Qu choked up: "If I can arrive in the capital safely, I will definitely remember Brother Su Xian's great kindness!"

"Why is Brother Jian like this?" Su Ziji pretended not to understand the meaning, and said in surprise: "It's just a trip back to Beijing to save some travel expenses, it's just a trivial matter!"
