Chapter 139

Qin mubai returned to the barracks and began to take care of some military affairs. Before that, the Wang account left by Li Ke became his handsome account. The two subordinates of the former Jiangzhou prefectural commander, including Guoyi prefectural commander, Changshi, Sima, brigade commander and Cao Shen soldiers, were waiting for him to examine and approve some compromise. Only then was the day over.

In the past, a strong dragon does not oppress the local leaders, but it is good to have power in hand. Qin mubai, a great figure sent by the emperor, had "cleaned up" Ma Kun before he could make a move. Naturally, these people under his command were a little scared and didn't dare to make mistakes. Let alone treat Qin mubai, even any one of the 100 ordinary soldiers, the officials and generals of Jiangzhou Prefecture also wait on him like an elder, and dare not neglect him.

The relief work for the people and the construction of dikes and dams are still going on. Every day, there are not a few of the money, goods, grain and grass that go in and out of the army, which are worth tens of thousands of dollars. With the stroke of Qin Mu's pen and pole, it may be related to the income and expenditure of tens of thousands of dollars. Soldiers in the government are ordinary farmers. No salary. Who doesn't want to benefit from the hard work of fighting floods and providing disaster relief? In addition, the officers and generals in these places usually misappropriate some military materials occasionally, and it is also common for them to do little harm to the public and benefit their own interests. Qin mubai understood these people's thoughts, so he didn't take many unimportant things seriously. Leave a little convenience for them, naturally also let them be convinced and willing.

In this way, these officers and generals were afraid, respectful and grateful to Qin mubai, so they got along well.

It took more than half an hour to deal with military affairs. After that, all the officers and generals went back to their accounts to have a rest. Qin mubai estimated that the people who went to the county to buy wine and vegetables for Li Ke and Gaoyang should also come back. I should go and have a drink with them.

"Anyway, Princess Gaoyang came because of me, and I shouldn't avoid her because of my basic politeness. What's more, I really have some responsibilities when she's in such a mess, and I can't leave her when she's in the most critical situation and needs me most... "

Thinking of this, Qin Mu Bai's heart is blocked: is it difficult for me to be "responsible" for her? It seems that nothing has developed between us. At most, she is just a mischievous child Forget it, I don't want to think about it. It's urgent to solve the immediate problems.

Because of his special status, Qin mubai was free to go in and out of the garrison, and was not restricted by the local military regulations. Just as he was about to leave the garrison, a Baiqi pawn came to report that there was a visitor. The visitor claimed to be an official in the mansion of the king of Jiangxia.

"Please." Qin mubai thought: what did the king of Jiangxia send people to do? After a few days, he should have been to Chang'an and come back. I don't know what happened when he went to the Emperor

A middle-aged man went into the handsome tent, bowed his hands politely, held an apricot yellow invitation card specially used by the royal family, and said, "general Qin, this is the invitation card issued by my Lord. The 16th of this month is the birthday of the Lord. The general is specially invited to have a banquet. Please take time out of your busy schedule to go. Don't refuse. "

Qin mubai took the invitation, looked at it and said, "I don't know who else the Lord invited?"

The man replied, "if you go back to the general of Qin Dynasty, the prince has sent out invitation cards to all the officials and generals above six grades in the four prefectures of Jin, Bing, Jiang and PU. As the LORD said, this time is called birthday. In fact, it's to make friends with all my colleagues. No gifts, no banquets, just like a poetry gathering as a family banquet. The Lord repeatedly told me to invite general Qin. Please don't refuse

"Well, I see." Qin Mu Bai nodded and smile, "the Lord is elegant and elegant. Qin has always respected him. Fortunately, Mr. Qin is still in Jiangzhou at the moment, so he has this rare opportunity to visit. How can he refuse? Don't worry, Mr. Qin will attend the banquet on time! "

"Thank you so much, general!" Man grateful salute, "general force is busy, humble duty dare not disturb, please leave."

"See off."

After pondering over the well-made invitation for a moment, Qin mubai could not help but smile and said in secret: Li daozong is a bit interesting. He took advantage of his birthday to have a banquet with the four prefectures. But emphatically declared not to accept gifts. Does this mean that he will "change his mind and be a new man"? It seems that he was also frightened by the corruption case, and began to restrain his old habit of being greedy for money. He also took the opportunity to declare that he was no longer accepting gifts and bribes. It is estimated that the emperor did not punish him for such a grand treat. Otherwise, how dare he act in such a high profile?

It seems that the result is not too bad, at least the emperor and Li daozong did not tear the skin. This is undoubtedly good news.

Qin mubai's mood relaxed a lot, so he left for the small wood house. If he told Li Ke the news, he would be happy.

Qin mubai left the garrison with three or five confidants. Naturally, no one dared to ask more questions. When we got to the edge of the woods, a figure jumped from the tree beside us.

Chen Yan.

"I knew you would come." Chen Yan looks at Qin mubai with a smile, as if she has something to say. A few pawns were far away, but they didn't dare to eavesdrop on her "private talk" with Qin mubai.

"You didn't go to the memorial ceremony, didn't you?" Qin mubai said, "it seems that something happened to me."

"Nothing else." Chen Yan's expression was calm, but there was a little banter in her eyes. "I'm just a little curious, you and that naughty little princess It seems that the relationship is very unusual? ""Just friends." Qin mubai said with a smile, "are you waiting for me here to inquire about this? Then I'll be a little strange. It's not what you always do. "

"It's no surprise, it's because you don't know me." Chen Yan said, "I will care more about my relatives and friends than anyone else, even surpass myself. I don't know what you think of me. But at the moment I have you as my friend. I just want to remind you that the little princess is not suitable for you. I can see that she is a troublemaker. If you get too close to her, you will get angry sooner or later. That's all I've said. You'll have to think for yourself. "

"Thank you very much." Qin mubai didn't want to say anything more. Chen Yan is really a man who does what she says and has a clear sense of love and hate. She never reveals her feelings directly, and her feelings are deep. It always gives people a feeling of rationality to coldness. But once in a while, she's really charming.

It's like now. Qin mubai felt great when she said, "I have treated you as my friend.". He was thinking that if this cold woman was gentle, she would be more deadly than her sword.

"One more thing." Chen Yan said. "In a few days, it will be king Jiang Xia's birthday. I will go to his house to celebrate his birthday. I want to ask you if you want to go with me? I don't mean anything else. I can see that King Jiang Xia is very interested in you and thinks highly of you. You two seem to be the same kind of people. You should be able to agree with each other. Many friends. It's not a bad thing. "

"Coincidentally, I just received an invitation from the Lord. I'll go. " Qin Mu Bai micro ran a smile, "when we go together, how?"

"Farewell to the palace." Chen Yan also does not refuse, just a smile, said with both hands sword clasping fist, "leave first."

"It's getting late. Why hurry to go? " Qin mubai said, "there are wine and vegetables in the cabin. Why don't you have a drink? I'll send you a ride later. "

"No, I'm not that expensive." Chen Yan slightly smiles, "Li Ke. Little princess, I'm not with them. If I don't talk too much, I won't ruin your happiness. You go. See you at the palace. "

"Good. See you later. "

Chen Yan walked away, natural and unrestrained, heroic, without looking back, and soon disappeared in the forest filled with night.

"A woman who is tough on the outside and soft on the inside..." Qin Mu Bai shakes his head and smiles, "what a woman Xia with personality. Interesting

In the cabin, the pawn who went to the county town to buy food and wine had already come back. He also cleaned up the cabin and could barely live in it.

Princess Gaoyang fidgeted inside and outside. From time to time, she stood on tiptoe and looked at the edge of the woods. She murmured: "it's really cold, but she still can't come Hello, go and urge your general

"Forget it, little sister!" Li Ke said with a smile, "how old is this? After a while, you will be so anxious. Qin mubai is a man who knows his priorities and does what he says. The reason why he hasn't come is because there is something important. Since he said he would come. I'm sure I'll come. "

"I know!" Princess Gaoyang looked at Li Ke with her mouth turned and said in a low voice: "I just Look at the food. It's going to be cold. It's going to make me sick! "

"Ha ha! Good excuse, good excuse Li Ke laughs.

"Third brother, you are a villain!"

Brother and sister are fighting, Qin mubai's voice suddenly rings outside the door: "how. It seems that some people speak ill of me behind my back? "

"Look, it's coming!" Li Ke said with a smile, "no one said bad words, only people are not in a hurry, scolded you a few words."

"I'm sorry. There are so many military affairs and we can't be absent. I'm late. " Qin Mubai smiled apologetically and said, "Your Highness, this poor little diet." You don't mind? "

Princess Gaoyang laughed: "I'm hungry! If you are hungry, everything tastes delicious! What's more, third brother can eat and you can eat. Why can't I eat? "

"Then don't compare with us." Li Ke said with a smile, "during my two or three months here, Mu Bai and I ate and lived the same way as those ordinary soldiers, and had been used to this kind of life for a long time. Don't look down on the white cut chicken, steamed fish and stewed mutton tripe on this table today. It's already a feast of tooth beating ceremony for us! "

"Ah, you have such a hard time?" Princess Gaoyang, who had been a child, was quite surprised. She looked around at Li Ke and Qin mubai. Finally, she fixed her eyes on Qin mubai's face and said, "I'm really thin and dark! Come on, come on, sit down and eat more! When you get back to Chang'an, I'll ask the imperial chef to cook the best food for you every day! "

"Well Good Qin mubai looks at Li Ke and sits down with an embarrassed smile.

Li Ke sighed: "pathetic, pathetic! I've been someone's brother for more than ten years. It seems that she has never cared so much! This brother is not worth money

"Third brother, you are a villain!" Gaoyang Princess bashful low scold a, first clip a big fish into Li Ke bowl, "this is OK? Eat it! Third brother is really black and thin. Then you have to eat more. You will be more handsome when you look better! "

Qin mubai and Li Ke burst out laughing together. Princess Gaoyang waved in embarrassment and exclaimed: "don't laugh! Don't laugh! What are you laughing at! You two big men, how are you like children? ——Eat"Good, good, eat!"

At this moment, Qin mubai and Li Ke are laughing to tears.
