Chapter 137 Suspicion
When Yuan Tian said these words, although he was sincere, his heart was unavoidable.
If he had not been on duty in this military camp, he would have had a free and easy life waiting for him when he returned to the capital. If he had caused trouble to his brothers because of this matter, he would have done a great sin.
Each of them has a wife and children, and what they look forward to every day is military pay, so they must not let it fall into their own hands.
Su Qingtian glanced at Old General Xiao and then at Yuan Tian.
He stretched out his little hand and pulled down Yuan Tian's sleeve.
"Brother Yuan, when will the grilled fish be ready? Xiao Qingtian is already hungry."
Upon hearing Xiaowa's earnest question, Yuan Tian looked first at General Xiao.
"Look at what I'm doing. It's better to grill two more fish in this situation. I'm already hungry when I come back from the battle."
General Xiao had a relaxed look on his face and added these half-familiar and half-command words.
To Yuan Tian's ears, there was nothing he didn't understand.
"General Meng, please go over there and take a look."
Turning around and seeing Meng Fang's figure, the two of them were shocked and immediately stood up straight and gave a military salute.
"The general doesn't like Su Zheng, so why would Vice General Liao bring up an unlucky person?"
Most people who are familiar with the Xiao family know that Su Zheng's name should never be mentioned in front of anyone in the Xiao family.
"Why did the General suddenly become so close to Yuan Baihu?"
Although Xue Yu was full of questions, he did not dare to rush forward to disturb him.
"It's just a few of us chatting, and I was relaxed for a moment." After hearing Xue Yu's words, Vice General Liao's face suddenly changed, and he quickly explained, "I don't know that the general doesn't like Su Zheng."
When Vice General Liao looked at Su Qingtian again, his eyes were full of surprise and he murmured, "She is the daughter of Prime Minister Su?"
Not far away, Lieutenant General Liao had just settled his horses in the stables. When he turned around, he saw two people chatting happily on the playground.
Hearing this name, Meng Xin couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
"It would be nice if you came back as soon as possible!"
Meng Fang looked at Vice General Liao with more and more vigilance.
As a result, the Xiao family completely lost power in Beijing and was eventually expelled.
When Lieutenant General Liao saw Xue Yu leaving, he felt a little embarrassed when facing Meng Fang.
Meng Fang did not intend to tell the truth about the specific situation that day. Although the two men opposite had been in the military for many years, their details were not very clear.
Xue Yu, who was on the side, looked a little ugly when he heard what Vice General Liao said.
Finally, we talked about Fengcheng’s street scene and some of the best places to eat and have fun.
"Although Yuan Baihu has a casual temperament, he is a trustworthy partner."
Naturally, he was also confused.
After a while, the live fish, which was still alive and kicking, was disemboweled, washed, and then skewered on pear branches and grilled over a strong fire.
"ah?"
He had just come down from the battlefield with the General. He turned around to deal with some matters and then went to see the General when he saw this scene.
"He was indeed seriously injured."
Meng Fang smiled and did not answer.
He couldn't help but frown slightly.
Even if he misunderstood Vice General Liao because of this name today, Meng Fang would rather come to his door to apologize and plead guilty than let go of this slight suspicion towards him.
General Xiao and his family were exiled to Fengcheng. In addition to the unwarranted slander made by the Imperial Counselor in front of His Majesty, Su Zheng also made considerable contributions.
He quickly fished out a few fat fish from the water basket and sat on the stone bench nearby to quickly handle them.
Upon hearing the call, Lieutenant General Liao turned around and looked at Meng Fang in confusion.
"General Meng!"
Meng Fang had to be cautious about checking people and act step by step.
Back then, the Imperial Preceptor suppressed the Xiao family and slandered the Xiao family as a disaster for the country.
After asking several questions in succession, Xue Yu shook his head.
Glancing at Xue Yu who was counting weapons, he quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"Since both General Meng and General Xiao feel that Yuan Baihu is trustworthy, we will not regard him as an outsider."
Su Qingtian finished what she was supposed to do, holding her chin with her hands as she watched her grandfather find a topic to chat with Yuan Tian.
Nowadays, spies from various countries and the complicated forces in Mexico have placed people with different identities around them in Fengcheng.
The last of these was naturally inquired about by General Xiao on Su Qingtian's behalf. He was busy with military affairs during this period, and when he had some free time later, he would spend time with his little granddaughter.
As he said that, Vice General Liao's sharp eyes saw Su Qingtian's figure that had been blocked by General Xiao just now.
Lieutenant General Liao seemed to be very concerned about the other party's identity and asked again.
Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, based on his understanding of Su Qingtian, the war with the Yan Kingdom must have ended with a complete victory for the Xiao family army.
"He and General Meng have always been afraid of Yuan Baihu, why is it like this today?"
"Who is that little girl?"
Before Nie Chen returned to Xiao Mansion to take up his post, Xue Yu was very familiar with him, so naturally he wanted to go and say hello.
Meng Fang nodded and said vaguely, "I have been practicing for a few days and my body is sharp. I have just returned to the camp."
"Vice General Liao."
Vice General Liao glanced at Yuan Tian and said silently.
Lieutenant General Liao stepped forward and said anxiously, "You are finally back! I heard that you were attacked by a monster. Were you injured?"
Su Zheng was recommended by General Xiao and eventually became the son-in-law of the Censor-in-Chief. However, at the critical moment, he wisely protected himself and was unwilling to act as a guarantor for the Xiao family in front of His Majesty.
Vice General Liao in front of me not only mentioned him, but also became Prime Minister Su.
"Who is that little girl? Why does she come in and out of the military camp at will?"
I am afraid……
With such an existence that seems like an enemy but also a friend, it is better to be cautious.
Meng Fang was silent for a moment, then shouted in a slightly higher voice.
Xue Yu thought of today's miraculous battle situation and couldn't help but say, "This way, we can watch together with us the scene of today's great victory over the Yan Kingdom. The appearance of their group of scurrying escapers can be described as extremely embarrassing and ridiculous."
Due to unexplainable circumstances, they have always regarded each other as nothing.
Everyone in the army knew that neither the General nor General Meng liked Yuan Baihu.
Lieutenant General Liao pointed to a place not far away where many people were gathered, and then left.
"That is the little granddaughter of the General. She is also the daughter of Xiao Hongyan. Her name is Su Qingtian."
When Xue Yu saw this, he stopped talking. He looked up and saw Nie Chen standing beside him. He seemed to be holding something in his arms and walked over directly.
I thought the two people would have a very troubled conversation, but they didn't expect that they fell in love without saying a few words. They talked about everything about the military camp and the situation around the camp.
A familiar voice interrupted the two people whispering.
"General Meng, what else can you do?"
"I led Yuan Baihu's people to sneak attack the Yanguo camp. Not only did they burn down all their camps, but I also got back a lot of food."
As he said that, Meng Fang pointed to the place where Lieutenant General Liao wanted to go, "They are busy transporting food and supplies back from the Yan Kingdom camp."
"In this way, my Xiao family army will not suffer from hunger for a long time."
