Ge Renmei went all the way north, tired from the journey and heavy-minded. She suspected that her wife was already having a secret affair with an adulterer at home, and not only did she want to be a cuckold, but she also wanted to make herself a father.
He was thinking a lot and was exhausted mentally and physically. When he arrived in Dingzhou, the plump Mr. Ge was already very haggard and thin.
Ge Renmei first spent two days chatting with important figures in Dingzhou, and then met Yin Xiao in the military camp.
"Commander Lou, you are younger than I thought. You are truly a hero. My surname is Ge and my name is Hitomi. We will be traveling together when we return to Kyoto this time."
Yin Xiao sat in front of him, leaning on a spear, and gave Ge Renmei a smile - he thought it was time to smile.
When Ge Renmei saw his smiling face, she was startled and couldn't help but take a step back.
"Ha, haha," Ge Renmei echoed with a smile, "Conductor Lou is indeed... extraordinary, haha, extraordinary."
Yin Xiao was so surprised by his praise that he tried his best to look humble: "Really?"
Ge Renmei couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing his questioning tone. She felt something was wrong with Yin Xiao, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only try hard to affirm: "Yes, the commander is the most heroic person in the Forbidden Army I have ever seen."
.”
Yin Xiao frowned, not knowing whether to be humble a few more times or to accept his praise.
After thinking about it, he decided to continue to deal with it, because Song Huiyue taught him to be kind and polite.
In order to show that he was sufficiently humble, he shook his head repeatedly: "You must have seen too little."
This time Ge Renmei was really speechless.
He chuckled twice, his eyes were already very embarrassed, he glanced at Yin Xiao and abruptly changed his words: "What's wrong with Commander Lou's arm?"
Yin Xiao told the truth: "I was hit by an arrow."
Ge Renmei put on a fatherly face and said heartbrokenly: "This is really unfortunate."
Yin Xiao didn't feel unlucky, so she didn't answer his words.
Just when Ge Renmei was sweating, Li Jun came with a pot of hot tea.
He glanced at Ge Renmei's embarrassment, quickly put down the hot tea and walked forward: "Ms. Ge!"
When Ge Renmei saw Li Jun, she was surprised at first, and then in order to liven up the atmosphere, she became greatly shocked: "Oh... Ouch... Ouch! This is not... I didn't expect you. You are here. It's really fate. Lord Guo is still here."
same as usual."
Li Jun smiled and waved his hand: "What kind of prince, don't mention it. Mr. Ge Xianggong came here this time for the imperial army to enter Kyoto. It's not even the time for the border defense rotation. Why do you think of employing people at this time?"
Ge Renmei saw that Yin Xiao had no intention of speaking, and Li Jun was obviously his personal soldier, and he had the same greetings with Li Jun.
This time there was finally chatting and laughing in the camp, and Ge Renmei also drank two cups of hot tea.
Yin Xiao sat aside, listening to every word they said, and stored their words in categories in his mind, only to use them when encountering such a scene in the future.
After Ge Renmei left, Li Jun was thoughtful, and he and Yin Xiao left the barracks and returned to the barracks. The three of them ate and talked around the table.
Li Jun briefly explained the purpose of Ge Renmei's visit: "I am very suspicious today, and I am not at ease with King Jin and King Yan. I want Ge Renmei to come and check if there is anything fishy about these people. If so, discard them. If not,
I brought him back to Kyoto a year ago, but I see that Ge Renmei was bent on returning to the capital and had no intention of investigating. She didn't even ask why I became his personal soldier. Why did I send him out now?
"
Song Huiyue put down her chopsticks: "It doesn't matter who you send."
Li Jun lost his appetite and stopped eating after only one bowl of pork belly: "Are we really going back to Beijing?"
Song Huiyue nodded.
Li Jun touched his belly and sighed: "When I went to Kyoto, I just put my head on my belt. Otherwise, how about asking Lao He to pick a few people to take with me?"
Song Huiyue waved her hand: "Let him take care of the business here. If you don't go to Kyoto, you will have to leave Dingzhou behind. When the matter is over, you will come back."
Li Jun tilted his head to look at Yin Xiao, wanting to see what Yin Xiao thought about returning to the capital - Yin Xiao was a human being, and as long as he was a human being, he had selfish motives and thoughts, and would not be ignorant like a puppet.
Yin Xiao took a thick and large pancake from the table, filled it with meat and vegetables, rolled it up, opened his mouth, and bit off half of it in one bite. He just ate it like a glutton, with no expression on his face.
.
He was neither happy nor worried about returning to Kyoto.
Yin Xiao knew in his heart that the King of Jin was a dragon, and he was born to control the wind and rain. He was clay on the ground, and his current appearance was all made by Song Huiyue. He had no chance of winning between the real dragon and the clay figurine.
Moreover, Song Huiyue's heart was full of Zhang Xutang - after all, neither he nor the King of Jin were as important as Zhang Xutang, so many of his words were in vain.
But it doesn't matter, he is patient and is willing to stay by Song Huiyue's side forever, fearing that everything will only last a long time.
He kept his head down and just ate. After finishing four burritos, he lowered his head and drank a bowl of tofu soup.
Song Huiyue was very pleased to see him eating so much - as long as he could eat and sleep, he would be happy.
When she was full, she stood up, poured hot tea, and patted Yin Xiao on the shoulder: "We still have to take a large sum of money with us. The money can reach the sky. Tonight, you can go to the market in person again, sir.
He has been very messed up this year and has messed up several big deals. Let's give him some time to wake up, lest he loses his business to Hu Jinyu again in our absence."
"Yes." Yin Xiao followed her figure with his peripheral vision.
Li Jun stood up and followed him: "I'd better go and talk to Lao He."
Song Huiyue picked up a few tea leaves and threw them into the cup, then made a cup of tea casually: "You don't need to go."
Li Jun really had feelings for He Jianghuai and couldn't help but said: "Then I'll go with Yin Xiao, one of them will do bad things and the other will do bad things, so as not to scare people."
"No need," Song Huiyue rejected him, "You stay in the barracks."
She looked out the window at the neat rows of barracks, thinking that when she got to Kyoto, she, the outlaw in the sea arrest documents, would hide behind Yin Xiao.
She had to plan carefully to send Zhang Xutang to hell.
Yin Xiao finished all the flatbreads on the table and rolled up all the dishes with the flatbreads. Then he silently wiped his mouth and got up, went back to the room and changed out of his shirt, wearing a smart short brown suit.
Li Jun followed him, earnestly persuading Yin Xiao not to be too rude to He Jianghuai, but Yin Xiao hid the sharp knife, put on the warm hat, looked blankly, and didn't listen to a word he said.
He ate too much and his mind went blank for a short time, thinking of nothing.
As soon as it got dark, he immediately went out, braved the wind, and walked to the foraging field.
He walked quickly. When he entered the market, the lamps had just been lit. There were six boys patrolling outside. There was so much chaos in Dingzhou this year. Although the market was making a lot of money, it was still walking on thin ice.
When the six people saw Yin Xiao, they did not see Li Jun or Song Huiyue. They were all trembling and secretly hid their hands holding dried meat behind their backs.
Yin Xiao, who came alone, was like a magic weapon out of its sheath, with its sharp edge revealed.
