"Beijing, someone is coming from the capital!" The soldier ran fast, breathing heavily, but the light in his eyes was shining.
When people come to the capital, it means that food is coming.
"Who's coming?"
Coincidentally, Qi Yan and Ling Yutong also passed by, so they asked casually.
An Nanhou turned to look at them, and while keeping his feet down, he replied: "There are people coming from the capital. They should be at the entrance of the camp. I'll go...wait a moment."
His hasty steps suddenly stopped.
Then, he looked Qi Yan up and down.
"I'm not going, you go."
He curled his lips and said.
Qi Yan raised his eyebrows, and Ling Yutong, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but also raised his lips, which was interesting.
"Okay, I'll go."
"The Marquis is waiting here."
"I'll go too." Ling Yutong said immediately.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she spread her hands and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the delivery of grain and grass to the frontier. I'm a little curious and want to see what the capital has sent. Let me see it, right?"
"
An Nanhou nodded: "Of course, no problem."
So, the soldiers, Qi Yan and Ling Yutong went outside the camp together.
The door was crowded and there was a long motorcade standing there.
But Ling Yutong was not attracted by the motorcade at first sight, but saw... the man standing at the front of the motorcade. He was wearing a mask. The mask almost covered his entire face, and only allowed people to see his
A piece of chin.
Pale and handsome.
She squinted her eyes, and a figure flashed in her mind for no apparent reason: Cang Wu.
However, Cang Wu was wearing a hat, covering his eyes and nose.
As for the person in front of her, his face hidden under the mask should be handsome, but with this mask and the way he smiled when he saw them, she felt that the person in front of her... had a strange aura about him.
.
Tsk.
He looks like a leader, but not an official.
But she didn't expect that she would be slapped in the face at the speed of light.
Ying Huai bowed his hands to Qi Yan, and the smile on his lips was just right.
"I am the prefect of Huai, and I am a third-rank official. I have long heard that there is a young tiger general in the Qi family. I saw him for the first time today. He is really worthy of his reputation."
Qi Yan glanced at him.
Third grade?
When did a third-rank official appear in the imperial court whom he was not familiar with at all and whose name he had never even heard of?
Rank three, but it firmly suppressed him.
And from the first meeting with the other party, he felt that he didn't feel very good. It wasn't that he was superficially friendly with people in the officialdom, nor that he was so disgusting that he didn't want to contact him, but the person in front of him named Ying Huaixu.
It makes him a little unpredictable.
The other party was calm and calm, waiting for his response.
He did not accept the gift from the other party, but said calmly: "Please show me the official document."
With his appearance, if the other person was someone with a bad temper, he could just slap him in the face, turn around and leave.
But Ying Huaixu didn't.
Only the curve of the corners of his lips became lighter.
Then, he glanced sideways at the motorcade behind him.
"Since Qi Xiaoyou doesn't like to be friendly, we will keep things official."
"Take out the official documents."
Soon, the official documents Qi Yan requested were spread out in his hands.
While he was watching, Ling Yutong remained quiet and did not speak.
She could see Qi Yan's expression and quickly concluded that there was nothing wrong with the official document.
Sure enough, Qi Yan stepped aside the next moment and said: "Sir Ying, please."
"However, in my opinion, you are very young, so you don't need to call me little friend. In vain, you will make yourself older."
The smile on Ying Huaixu's lips curled up again.
"I just said that Qi Xiaoyou is not a friendly person, but now it's just my misunderstanding."
"I am already thirty-five years old this year. Even compared to the age of the Marquis, I am still close."
"I didn't expect that at my age, Qi Xiaoyou would still think of me as someone of the same age, haha."
Qi Yan hesitated.
The fact that he didn't frown was due to his years of moral cultivation.
Ling Yutong's eyes also moved slightly.
Neither of them showed any too surprised expressions, but the soldiers around them were different. They didn't control their expressions and all showed surprised expressions.
Although Ying Huaixu was wearing a mask and couldn't see clearly what he looked like, how could his eyes, chin, lips, and surrounding skin look like a person who had been happy for half his life?
Their expressions pleased Ying Huaixu.
He laughed loudly and narrowed his beautiful eyes.
Then, he patted Qi Yan's shoulder affectionately.
"My little friend, you are very good."
Then he raised his hand back and said: "Bring all your things in, wait for Xiaoyou Qi to look at the quantity, and then arrange a place for us."
"Arrange accommodation?"
Qi Yan looked at him with a darker look in his eyes.
Those who deliver food are just doing their official job of delivering food and grass. They have to leave as soon as they deliver it. Who cares where they live?
People with official salaries don’t know this truth?
unless……
Ying Huaixu smiled.
"You can tell by the look on your face that you have guessed it. Yes, there is also an imperial edict."
"From now on, I will stay in the camp and review the lack of food and grass in a timely manner. Of course, since I am a third-rank official, I will also come to the important plans and gatherings in the camp on weekdays."
"But don't worry, little friend, I will explain it to Mr. Hou later when I meet him."
"I won't interfere too much with your plans."
Qi Yan's brows still trembled slightly.
Don’t interrupt too much?
So what's the purpose of staying here?
A third-grade official came all the way to them just to do an errand that even a seventh-grade official could do?
Or just participate in their important gatherings, be mute, and just listen?
Are you just here to gain experience?
This is absolutely impossible.
But even though he thought so in his heart, he didn't show any of it on his face.
He even smiled slightly and was polite and generous.
When their eyes met, he also saw Ling Yutong's thoughtful expression.
The next step is to check the quantity of food.
An hour had passed since the convoy put down everything.
No one was talking much at this moment. Ying Huaixu stood aside and did not help with these things. Qi Yan depended on the quantity, and it was impossible to help. Ling Yutong was a woman, so it was not her turn.
Therefore, those who have free time should go to Huai Xu and Ling Yutong.
So, Ying Huaixu turned his head to talk to Ling Yutong freely.
"I have heard Miss Ling's name before in the capital."
Ling Yutong looked back at him.
She had a smile on her face, but her heart was tense.
She didn't know why, but even when facing this person, she couldn't... treat him like an ordinary person.
Then, she keenly realized that the other party seemed to be the same.
Since we are chatting, the distance between the words cannot be too far.
There was about a person's distance between the two, which allowed Ling Yutong to clearly see the mask on Ying Huaixu's face and his strangely beautiful eyes.
