His words, Qingrong's master and servant, could be heard clearly in the tent. Qingrong had made the same plan as that day, but when she saw him appear, she felt an inexplicable peace of mind.
Xue Chang was also guarding not far away, and quickly followed him, admonishing: "General, I think this Vice General Li's behavior is hateful, but if you kill him like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain." This Deputy General Li is.
Ying Guogong, General Li's side, General Li is King Yong's capable subordinate. The Li family and the Xue family had a quarrel before. If this happens, wouldn't they offend the people? Now that Luo people are talking about it, I'm afraid who will decide
Will not give up.
Xue Shao's tone was still full of anger, and he said: "I dealt with him not only for today's matter, but also for the sake of the previous soldiers."
Xue Chang knew that what he was talking about was that when Tubo was defending against the enemy, Lieutenant General Li escaped from the battle and ordered his soldiers to go forward to kill the enemy. Because of his mistake in delaying the military situation, those soldiers died in vain. Afterwards, because of the Li family's involvement in the army,
The power reduced this matter to a trivial matter. What's more, he still relied on his family background to be tyrannical and unreasonable in the army. Xue Shao was very dissatisfied with this. I'm afraid he had wanted to kill him a long time ago, let alone tonight
He was so bold as to attack Qingrong!
"But what happened tonight, the general was looking for an excuse for Lieutenant General Li to commit theft, so he was beaten to death for this matter. For a minor crime and a heavy punishment, wouldn't it allow some people to accuse the general of abusing his power?"
Xue Shao raised his eyebrows and scolded in a low voice: "She is a woman after all. If this matter spreads, it will not do her any good. If it were not for our improper arrangements, she would not be frightened by this. People like Li Wu, one day,
If you don’t deal with it, it will ruin the morale of the army. If something happens, I will bear it myself!"
Xue saw his firm expression and knew that he had made up his mind. He couldn't persuade him anymore. He took a deep breath and lowered his head, "Yes."
When they saw Xue Shao coming into the camp, A Zhen and Song Yue consciously retreated. They had been wary of Xue Shao in the past, but after this incident, they developed a good impression of him.
"What happened tonight... was my negligence and poor arrangement. You are a woman and you are in the military camp. Naturally, you should pay more attention to your safety." Xue Shao was both angry and annoyed at his own carelessness. If
Otherwise, how could she be put in danger again?
His voice was stern just now, but now he has a different tone, which seems to be lower and gentler. Qingrong shook her head, "Thank you..."
She looked intently at the man in black in front of her. He was tall, with a tough and cold face, dull, not good at words, and even weird...but he always gave her an inexplicable sense of security. But this time
Could it be that she had an illusion at this moment?
Xue Shao said sternly: "Why do you need to say thank you? It's my responsibility."
Qingrong felt a little sorry and asked: "General's hand?"
"It's okay."
"There's already blood, why don't we wipe it off?" After saying that, he took the handkerchief and handed it to Xue Shao.
After Xue Shao took it, he just said, "This is a daily routine for me, it is better than letting you get blood."
That's right. Swords have no eyes. He has gone on wars and been through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but he always felt that Qingrong shouldn't experience or even hear about it.
Qingrong is now gradually calming down. Ever since Li Wu appeared, she has speculated about his identity in the army. It seems that he is not an ordinary soldier. Xue Shao just wanted to kill him in the name of stealing. No,
Is it appropriate to know, and will it bring him trouble? "The man just claimed to be the deputy general, will the general's actions be blamed?"
Xue Shao looked at her, but didn't know how to answer. He didn't know if this would make her worry and feel guilty about things that had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that Xue Shao was silent, Qingrong stopped asking. "General." Her voice was soft, just like the person she was, "Thank you very much. Not only thank you for showing up in time to help me out of trouble, but also thank you for showing up in front of everyone.
Cover it up for me. I know words are light, but my gratitude is real. The general saved me twice, and I am really grateful. If the general needs help in the future, I will definitely do my best and will never be perfunctory.
"This is the most sincere and feasible return she can give.
Maybe she was frightened, but the accumulated water in her eyes made her eyes full of autumn, as if the spring water in the early morning would extinguish all a person's arrogance, arrogance, anger, and pride... He clenched his fists with extreme restraint
, did not go to see her again, "You are here, I don't want anything to happen to you."
Whether it's out of responsibility or other reasons, it's unclear.
Qingrong smiled softly and nodded, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere just now, "By the way, I have heard that the general has quelled the bandit troubles, but I have never been able to see him. Yesterday, the general left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to tell him.
Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general, and I hope the general will not mind."
She actually had a very nice smile, but she seemed to be so polite and courteous to everyone... Xue Shao came back to his senses and found that he always looked at her like this these past two times, which was really strange.
Xue Shao didn't know what to say, so he just said yes, "This is what I should do." It seemed that besides what he should do and his responsibility, he couldn't say anything else...
Qingrong looked at him and smiled, saying "hmm", but suddenly mentioned: "I'm reading the book the general gave me."
In fact, this is just a common sentence, for Yu Qingrong. But it unintentionally touches the heartstrings of interested people, just like a seemingly tiny stone thrown into the calm water, but it causes ripples...
Qingrong didn't care about his reticence and continued: "Soldiers are crafty. I think whether it's marching or fighting, or doing things in society, as long as you can make good use of this principle, you can achieve excellence. I knew these things before.
Very few, but now that I have read it, I realize that such a wonderful work is indeed worth reading."
Xue Shao also agreed and nodded, "It's just that although I'm familiar with it, I'm not good at using it."
Qingrong heard from Xue Chang that Xue Shao was brave in battle and had great skills. He once led hundreds of troops to encircle and suppress two thousand troops, and also achieved a great victory. Now it seems that he is more brave but less good at "strategy".
"The general is also a careful person. It's not difficult to master the trick, but the general has some prejudice against this kind of technique? Do you think it is a crooked way rather than a serious way?"
Xue Shao stared at her, not expecting that she could understand him like this.
Qingrong smiled slightly and said: "I once heard your husband mention that many military generals disdain this method of warfare and feel that only real guns and swords can fight. If there is no blood, how can we talk about fighting between two armies? It's just me.
It is a fallacy to think that this is the case. Marching and fighting is not for killing, but for the sake of the people of the country. If it is just to slaughter the enemy, isn't it putting the cart before the horse? If you can defeat the enemy with surprise without spending a single soldier, how can you not compare with others?
Is it good to bleed like a river?"
There was surprise in Xue Shao's eyes. He was impressed by her words and secretly happy that she could say so many things to him. Therefore, he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then nodded solemnly, "You said
It makes sense.”
This was the first time Qingrong saw him smiling, and he was no different from others, except that he looked a little naive when he nodded... Qingrong couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker, "The general also has this thought in his heart.
Only then will you feel that what I said is reasonable, I am just pointing out what the general thinks."
Xue Shao was about to speak, but was interrupted by Azhen's voice outside the curtain, "Sanniang, Mr. Zhang is here."
Qingrong glanced at Xue Shao, thinking that her husband must have heard the noise and came here to look for it. She glanced at Xue Shao apologetically, but Xue Shao understood it, stood up and said: "Then I'll leave first.
If you have anything to do, just send someone to look for me in the nearby camp, and I will arrange for my own soldiers to be on duty here later."
"Thank you, General."
When Xue Shao left, he met Zhang He outside. Zhang He looked at his straight face, but there was a smile around him, and felt a little strange. He lowered his head and thought for a while before smiling.
He shook his head and sighed. After all, he was young and energetic.
Zhang He never wanted to meddle in other people's business, but he still had a good impression of Xue Shao. So at noon the next day, when he was resting on the spot, Zhang He found Xue Shao and started chatting. He had just finished the war with the Turks.
When they talked about the current affairs in the court, Zhang He was just looking for an excuse, and Xue Shao was a man of few words, so the two of them only talked to each other, leaving others to listen, which was very boring.
"How long has the general been away for the war with Tibet?"
"Half a year."
…
"General Xue is really young and promising."
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
"That night, thanks to the general, I also thanked the general for Sanniang."
"You're welcome, doctor."
"Forgive me for asking, but I wonder if the general can get married now?"
"No." Xue Shao frowned impatiently, as if he thought Zhang He had too many questions.
Zhang He understood and said with a smile: "That's a pity, but for a person like the general, naturally there is no need to worry about the marriage. This Sanniang has promised to get married before, and now that I am back in the capital, I may still be able to drink
Her wedding wine…”
At this point, both of them knew what it meant.
Xue Shao was silent. His expression didn't change much, and he didn't show any annoyance. In fact, it wasn't much to say he was sad. After all, they had just met. But to say he wasn't lonely at all was to fool people, and he didn't know who that person was.
Who, and is she happy with this marriage? If she is happy, of course...it is also excellent.
Zhang He was not surprised by his reaction. He had already reminded him when he needed to. As for the rest, it was beyond his control. What's more, based on what he saw, he didn't think Xue Shao would be a good match for Qing Rong...
Since that day, Xue Shao never went to see Qing Rong, nor mentioned her. He didn't mention her, and he didn't let Xue Chang mention her. He just thought of her, but it was unavoidable.
Qingrong was a little surprised by Xue Shao's abnormality, but she didn't ask any more questions. The day before she returned to the city, she went to look for him and wanted to thank him in person, but she never saw him. Although she didn't say anything about Xue Shao
Shao was acting abnormally, but he was secretly angry. He didn't understand why his attitude became so cold again.
So after entering the capital, Zhang He and his party separated from Xue Shao's army, and she no longer thought about it.
