General, he's cheating again

Chapter 39 Sprinkle a handful of salt

Looking at the three people opposite, Huai Ji and the envoy only bowed their hands to them from a distance, then turned and left.Originally, they also said that they would not disturb other people in the barracks and other drills, but the purpose of coming this time was to inquire about the opponent's situation first, and Huai Ji didn't want to stay any longer after they had a solid idea in mind.

During this round of inquiry, Huai Ji had a very high opinion of Qin Qingrong's first impression. He thought that Qin Qingrong's temperament was unearthly and refined, and his appearance was even more excellent. Compared with Qin Qingrong, he was indeed inferior.

"General, His Royal Highness Huai Ji said that he wants to bring you back to Baidi Kingdom, General, so that they can make a comeback."

Just now when Huai Ji was talking to the envoy, she didn't know that Leng Ji had a strong ear, so she thought that the person on the opposite side could not hear her when she lowered her voice, but Leng Ji still listened to everything and reported it to Gu Zhen.

"Oh, it's ridiculous."

Gu Zhen crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows slightly, with a trace of sarcasm on his lips, "This general wants to see how they take me away, it's really a good idea, why don't you just look at how many catties you have?" ?”

Hearing this, Qin Qingrong looked at the backs of the two people leaving not far away, but showed a trace of worry, "So the purpose behind Bai Diguo is to restore the country and make a comeback? This is not the same as their rhetoric about relying on Song on the condition of marriage." Does not match.

If these two people hide their scheming in front of the emperor, I'm afraid there will be big moves in the future. "

"What a hassle.

I don't know where the emperor's brain was twitched, so he would hand over the pass jade card to two foreigners so hastily. "

Gu Zhen pursed the corners of his lips and smiled, looked sideways at Leng Ji and said in a cold voice: "Follow them quietly, see where they went after they left the training ground, and report back in time."

After receiving the order, Leng Ji clasped his hands and answered "Yes", then disappeared beside Gu Zhen.

On the street, Huai Ji and the envoy walked out of the practice field and rushed to Lin's mansion.

And when they entered the gate of the Lin Mansion, they were led all the way to the book pavilion by the servants in the mansion.The two stood in the bookstore and waited for a while, only to see Lin Wenshan, who had just left the palace and returned to his residence, entered the door with a happy face.

Lin Wenshan's long and narrow eyes were full of approval, he was sitting upright on the wooden chair, casually picked up the teacup at the side, took a sip, moistened his throat, and said, "Huai Ji, you performed very well.

The emperor's summoning of the old man into the palace is to discuss with the old man about the marriage of Baidi Kingdom, the old man can tell that the emperor likes you very much.

Now, he has summoned a decree to send envoys to Bai Di Kingdom to invite your father to come to the capital to make peace with the merchants, and the old man will write to the King of Minnan today, asking him to prepare assassins to sneak into your father's horse and lurk together into Beijing.

The old man believes that as long as the marriage is settled, the secret guards in the old man's mansion will cooperate with the assassins sent by the King of Minnan to ambush the city at the subsequent banquet. able to proceed smoothly.

At that time, their assassination targets are Gu Zhen and Qin Qingrong, and your target is the emperor, do you understand? "

"Lin Xiang, I think Gu Zhen is a rare talent."

Huai Ji stated her request bluntly, "I don't want to kill him. Since Da Song doesn't bother to reuse this person, I will bring him back to Bai Di Kingdom after the matter is completed."

"Hmph, don't blame the old man for speaking harshly, you think it's beautiful."

Lin Wenshan revealed a trace of contempt and said: "You know that Gu Zhen is a man of great power, and he is rebellious and dissolute, it is really hard to tame.

Just talking about killing him, the difficulty is already unattainable, and you still want to tame him.

The old man is afraid that you will die before you even see through his heart.So the old man advises you to kill this person and not keep him. "

"Even so, I still want to try."

There was a hint of stubbornness in Huai Ji's eyes, and he clenched his hands behind his back into fists, thinking that if he could really get Gu Zhen's help, then it would definitely not be out of reach for Bai Di Kingdom to repeat its glory days.

Seeing that Huai Ji refused to listen to persuasion, Lin Wenshan didn't want to say any more, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, if you want to keep him alive after the matter is over, I won't stop you.

But in the past few days, the old man had to think of some way to suppress Gu Zhen and Qin Qingrong. "

Rolling his eyes, Lin Wenshan thought of something and said in a deep voice: "You must know that the emperor has always believed what these two people said, if they disrupt the situation at that time, I am afraid that the marriage will not be so easily settled.

The old man Qin Qingrong hasn't found any loopholes to attack him yet, but you have to know that Gu Zhen has always had a bad reputation, and the world often says he is dissolute.

Now that you are deeply favored by the emperor, tomorrow you will send a beauty from your palace to seduce Gu Zhenxia on his way out of the palace in the early morning.

At that time, find another person to testify and make the matter worse. I think the emperor will punish him for your sake.

Wouldn't it just be possible to suppress it and reduce the stumbling blocks that hinder us from making plans? "

"Okay, I'll do as you say.

But I will not let the emperor punish him for a felony. " Huai Ji frowned slightly and looked at Lin Wenshan and reminded him in a cold voice: "And you, don't secretly harm him behind my back. "

Hearing Huai Ji's words, it even seemed a bit protective.

Lin Wenshan immediately understood Huai Ji's true intentions towards Gu Zhen, and he snorted softly and sneered, "The old man advises His Highness not to have unreasonable thoughts on others, so as not to spoil the big event."

Looking fixedly at the blue-purple bruises looming on Huai Ji's neck, Lin Wenshan said without hesitation: "Gu Zhen, that rascal, is very picky about the person next to his pillow.

The old man believed that he would not set his eyes on a thing that was ruined by others, no matter how beautiful that thing was, he would only sneer at it. "

"How do you know he can't?"

Huai Ji immediately understood the implication of these words, recalled the humiliation he had suffered these days, silently pinched his nails into his flesh and said angrily: "My Highness's shame today is in return for success in the future.

When the time came, Gu Zhen became a prisoner of Baidi Kingdom and surrendered at the feet of His Highness.

His Highness doesn't believe it, he won't follow orders. "

After he finished speaking, he swung his arms and turned around, walking out of the Book Pavilion together with the envoy with a sullen expression on his face.

And Leng Ji, who was following these two people, saw these two people entering the Lin Mansion, and stopped following them but waited around the Lin Mansion.Because there are so many hidden guards in Lin's residence, if he rushed in rashly, he might startle the snake.

After Huai Ji and the envoy left the mansion, Leng Ji silently followed for a while, seeing the two of them going back to the palace before leaving the mansion and returning to the mansion.

Qin Qingrong and Gu Zhen parted ways after they finished arrow practice and left the practice field. One went to the government affairs hall to handle official business, and the other returned home with Ah Ren, who had practiced basic skills all afternoon.

With Leng Ji not around, Gu Zhen seized the opportunity to bully this little brat, A Ren.

For a while, he ordered Ah Ren to go to the study for him to pick up books, and for a while he ordered Ah Ren to take the money and go to the street to buy him some preserved fruits to satisfy his hunger...

Ah Ren, who was sweating profusely, stopped in front of Gu Zhen's cabinet with a bag of dried apricot meat wrapped in kraft paper, and smiled cleverly on his honey-tanned face.

Then, he turned around and ran into the kitchen, grabbed a large handful of salt and sprinkled it on the candied fruit mercilessly, then melted the salt on the candied fruit, with a smug smile on his lips.

Arranging the candied fruit neatly on the plate, Ah Ren Jing finished walking towards Gu Zhen's cabinet with a plate of candied fruit in his hand, humming a ditty all the way in a good mood.

When he came to Gu Zhen's side again, Ah Ren fixed his eyes on Gu Zhen who was crooked on the beauty's couch and said in his heart that this hateful guy is about to suffer a lot. Let's see if this guy dares to take advantage of his master all the time. Bully him if he is not there.

Ah Ren opened his clever eyes wide, pretended to be obedient and bowed his hands to Gu Zhen and said: "General, Ah Ren bought back the preserved fruit. General, try it quickly, see if it suits your appetite."

Slowly putting down the book in front of his face, Gu Zhen squinted his phoenix eyes and carefully looked at the expression on the face of the little boy in front of him. He could vaguely sense the anticipation in the boy's expression when he looked at him. He looked at the pieces on the plate again. Sticky preserved fruit, the corners of his lips curled into a narrow smile.

Holding up the porcelain plate on the side table with his slender hand, Gu Zhen looked at Ah Ren and seemed to pass the fruit plate to Ah Ren casually, and then he smiled lazily: "Little liar, I remember that you like to eat Sweet. This plate of candied fruit is actually rewarded by the general for your hard work after you run around in the afternoon."

Seeing Ah Ren's shocked expression, the smile on Gu Zhen's lips deepened, "Don't understand, what are you still doing?

Take it and eat it. "

"You! Why didn't you say it earlier!" Ah Ren was impatient, pouted aggrievedly and took the candied fruit from Gu Zhen's hand, ran out with resentment, and washed the candied fruit with water again.

After soaking the preserved fruit in water for a while, he cherished a small bite of the preserved fruit, and the flesh in his mouth was not chewy but had a nasty taste.

Feeling that the preserved fruit finally became less salty and still quite tasty, he put the preserved fruit back into the kraft paper and wrapped it up, then ran to the gate of Gu Mansion and sat on the stone steps in front of the door, waiting in a daze for something.

It wasn't until Leng Ji, who had rushed back to the mansion, appeared in front of the door, that Ah Ren regained his spirit.

He stopped Leng Ji, immediately stuffed the candied fruit in Leng Ji's arms, raised his head and blinked excitedly at Leng Ji: "Master, Master, Ah Ren will give you all the delicious food!"

Leng Ji lowered his eyebrows and frowned slightly at the wrinkled and wet fruit in his hand. He looked at Ah Ren lightly and asked, "Where did it come from?"

Hearing the words, he couldn't help thinking of what happened just now, Ah Ren felt wronged.

However, he didn't dare to mention to Leng Ji that Gu Zhen always bullied him, fearing that Leng Ji would worry about him, so he changed the subject and said with a disappointed face: "Master, do you dislike Ah Ren's preserved fruit and don't want to eat it..."

"No."

Leng Ji picked out a small piece from the paper bag and put it in his mouth, then handed the rest back to Ah Ren and said slowly: "I'm an adult, I don't like these sweet things much anymore. Since Ah Ren likes it, Ah Ren Just eat more.

Ah Ren's intentions, I understand. "

"Master lied!"

Ah Ren frowned in dissatisfaction, pouted and said: "But the general is also an adult, he likes to eat these! And he often asks me to buy them. He... he often asks me to do this and that. .Master, Ah Ren is so tired, I don’t have time to rest, woo woo, wow..."

As he was talking, he felt aggrieved and couldn't hold back any longer, Ah Ren turned his face to the sky, closed his eyes, raised his head and burst into tears.

Listening to the crying, Leng Ji felt his ears hurt, he showed a trace of helplessness and said: "Ah Ren, every time the general asked you to buy preserved fruit, did you steal it?"

Hearing that Ah Ren gradually stopped sobbing, he would indeed stuff it into his mouth from the inside every time, but now being asked by Leng Ji, he felt guilty and dared not speak.

"Actually, the general treats you like this now, just like the prince treated him when the general was young."

Leng Ji stretched out his hand to caress Ah Ren's head and comforted him: "The prince has always been very strict with the general. When he was in the mansion, he would always bully the general as long as the princess was not around. In fact, the prince just wanted to exercise the general's ability to resist pressure.

Sometimes when the general is bullied badly, the prince will ask the general to run errands to buy him preserved fruit, because the prince knows that the general loves to eat preserved fruit.

I remember that at that time, the general and I would secretly eat some preserved fruit on the street every time we bought them, thinking that the prince would not find out.Now that I think about it, I realize that the prince actually did it on purpose.

Ah Ren don't blame the general, the general actually likes Ah Ren very much. "

Hearing what Leng Ji said, Ah Ren suddenly felt a little ashamed, he immediately wiped away the tears on his face, then lowered his head in shame and asked: "Then Master, General, did he cry because of this when he was young?"

"No, General, he seldom cries." Afraid Ah Ren would think too much, Leng Ji said again: "Crying is a very normal thing, if you feel uncomfortable, you have to cry, it's not shameful."

"No! Ah Ren wants to learn from the general, and will not cry no matter how difficult it is in the future!"

There was a blazing light in Ah Ren's eyes, and he spoke firmly when he looked at Leng Ji.

In the pavilion, Gu Zhen, who was falling asleep while reading a book, sneezed vaguely.
