What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Chapter 68 Chapter 67

"Hey? What are you running for?"

Ning Yu didn't grab him, and turned to look at Jiang Jue with a delicate expression.

"Is there something you father and son are hiding from me?"

"Ma'am, you don't understand this."

Jiang Jue held her hand.

"Usually when you ask him about this, he's just annoyed. Today he didn't say anything, and became a deserter. I thought my husband had many years of experience in leading soldiers, and he must have been worried before fleeing, hahaha..."

"I hope, I hope he is as blessed as your father."

"Yes, yes, eh? Why is Madam boasting?"

Ning Yu held Jiang Jue's hand instead, smiling broadly.

After Jiang Hong returned to Beijing, he didn't leave the house much.

As soon as the tree is big, it is inconvenient for the General's Mansion to have too many contacts with various families in Beijing.

The second is that he can always be asked about marriage.With military merits, a bright future, and the cousin of His Royal Highness Jiarou, there are always people who want to get on this line.

Tonight, he left the mansion alone, turned around the alley and walked to the long street, and as expected, that little tail followed behind him.

But this time, Jiang Hong didn't pretend to be ignorant like in the daytime, but turned around an empty street corner, waited for the little tail to catch up, and then grabbed her collar and dragged her in front of him.

"Whose girl are you, it doesn't matter during the day, why don't you go home and follow me at this hour?"

Jiang Hong stretched out his long arms and leaned against the brick walls on both sides, ignoring her desire to escape, and stared at her unhappily.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Shangguan Lu Yong had no choice but to take off his hood resentfully, put his hands into his sleeves and answered slowly with his head down.

"Then... I want to meet the general. You don't go to the garden, you don't go for an outing, and you don't go to anyone's banquet. What can I do..."

"What did you see me doing?"

Jiang Hong suddenly realized that the topic had been taken away by her.

"That's not what I asked. Where is your home? I'll send someone to take you back. Don't follow me all day long."

Shangguan Lu Yong lowered his head and did not speak.

Jiang Hong also couldn't pull a girl he didn't know, he didn't feel at ease just leaving her behind and went back to his house, so he could only try his best to persuade her.

"Then tell me, why do you follow me? I have no intention of marrying a wife, let alone we are strangers, so stop messing around."

"But you caught me."

Shangguan Lu Yong's eyes were shining brightly, when he raised his head to look at him, it seemed to reflect the broken stars in the sky.

"General Jiang, I've heard my brother tell your stories since I was a child. I just want to see you more. I don't want to do anything."

Jiang Hong somehow felt a little familiar with the eyes that couldn't hide their passionate feelings, so he didn't interrupt her, and waited for Shangguan Lu Yong to finish speaking with his arms folded.

"I heard that during the battle in the Black City, the general escaped death by sneaking into the Black City and dormant for half a month to spy out the city's defenses. It really is true! I thought I was well hidden, but you still found me, how amazing you are. "

Being praised so straightforwardly, Jiang Hong couldn't keep his face sullen.The girl's deer-like round eyes looked at him adoringly, and even wanted to touch the pattern on his shoulder.

"Wow, is the general's robe made of Monan cloth? I recognize this pattern, which is different from ours in the Central Plains."

With thick eyebrows, round eyes, and the habit of wanting to move his hands and feet excitedly while talking, Jiang Hong easily matched up with the new servant of the household department whom he only met at the Longevity Festival.

"What is your relationship with Lord Shangguan Luming? Does he have a younger sister, is it you?"

He took half a step back to distance himself from her.

Unexpectedly, the girl covered her mouth in surprise, and even approached him again in admiration.

"Oh my God, you can guess this, General. You are indeed General Jiang, who has galloped on the battlefield for more than ten years and made countless achievements! You are amazing!"

"Miss Shangguan, respect yourself!"

Jiang Hong couldn't back up anymore, if he backed up again, he would stand directly on the street, what kind of words would it be like to be forced out of an alley by a little girl.

"I'm sorry, I'm so excited, I'm so excited. You don't know, I grew up listening to your stories. In my heart, you are the bravest hero in the world. Don't be offended by being abrupt..."

Shangguan Lu Yong obediently put his hands behind his back and took a few steps back, smiling embarrassedly.

Jiang Hong sighed, turned around and motioned for her to follow.

"There are countless stories in the storybook, Miss Shangguan. I will send someone to take you home later, and don't come here again."

Shangguan Lu Yong was half a step away, followed behind him dejectedly, and walked towards the General's Mansion together.

"I see, you think I'm annoying."

"I……"

Jiang Hong tilted his head to refute, but swallowed it back.

"Anyway, Miss Shangguan, stop following me."

The people from the General's Mansion drove the carriage out, Shangguan Lu Yong got into the carriage obediently, and suddenly turned around.

"General Jiang, can you send me back? I beg you, that's all I want. I promise I won't bother you again in the future, okay?"

Just as Jiang Hong was about to refuse, Shangguan Lu Yong seemed to be holding him, lying on the side of the car window, blinking his big eyes and beggingly looking at him.

"Just this once, okay?"

After being followed by Shangguan Lu Yong for many days, Jiang Hong, who had been teased several times by her clumsy tricks that were too stupid to even cover up, finally nodded.

"Great!"

Shangguan Lu Yong only occupied a small corner by the car door, giving Jiang Hong a large space.

Just send her back, and then talk to that guy Shangguan Luming, let him take care of his sister and stop wandering the streets alone at night.

Jiang Hong thought so.Didn't notice that Shangguan Lu Yong calmly rubbed towards him, then rubbed again.

"General Jiang."

Jiang Hong was startled by her sudden approaching voice, and immediately straightened his back and leaned against the car wall to distance himself from her.

"When did you find out that I followed you?"

Jiang Hong didn't want to talk to her, so he turned his head and ignored her.

"Is it the time when I hid next to the bun shop and got scalded by steam?"

It was the day before yesterday, and he saw her hiding behind the cage thinking she was clever, but she was so hot that she jumped out by herself.

"Or was it the time when I stepped on a duck egg sold in a basket and was dragged and shouted at me to lose money?"

He remembered that the aunt who had been stepped on by the duck egg was very angry, and he could hear her messing up a pot of porridge downstairs in the teahouse.

"Or earlier? When I'm eating wontons at the wonton stand at the entrance of the General's Mansion and waiting for you to go out?"

This is even more ridiculous, she always sits in one position, and he can see her pretending to bow her head to drink soup as soon as he leaves the house.

"You laughed, General Jiang."

Even Jiang Hong himself didn't realize that the corners of his mouth curled up, and he was even a little embarrassed when she said this, so he coughed hastily.

"You read it wrong, Miss Shangguan."

He deluded himself to think that she must not have seen clearly in the darkness of the carriage.

"So you don't find me annoying, do you?"

Shangguan Lu Yong looked up at him with his chin propped up.

"I don't follow you anymore, but if my brother posts you a post, can you not reject him?"

"What did I see your brother do?"

Jiang Hong looked at her in puzzlement.

"Because I want to see you."

She looked at him without avoiding it, without any twitching at all, as if it was a very common thing.

Jiang Hong's palms were sweating, and for the first time he didn't know how to deal with this kind of straightforwardness.There seemed to be a kind of gentle magic in her eyes, which made him unable to look away.

It seemed that it was getting hot, and he felt a little stuffy.

Fortunately, the Shangguan Mansion is not far away, the coachman stopped the carriage and said outside: "Young General, the Shangguan Mansion is here."

Jiang Hong got up as if he had been pardoned, and stood under the carriage waiting for Shangguan Lu Yong to come down.

"General Jiang, you haven't answered yet?"

She jumped out of the carriage lightly and landed beside him without leaving.

"Miss Shangguan, you..."

Jiang Hong instinctively wanted to refuse, but he couldn't think of any good reason.Because she is too sincere, hypocrisy will only make him feel guilty.

But he was interrupted again by Shangguan Luming who came out of the mansion in a hurry.

"Yongyong, come here quickly."

Shangguan Luming glared at Shangguan Luyong with an ugly face, Shangguan Luyong could only walk behind him with his head down and entered the mansion gate.

But before entering the mansion, she turned her head and gave Jiang Hong a sad look, as if saying that if he didn't agree to see her again, he would be hard-hearted.

Jiang Hong was heartbroken by this look.

"Thank you, General Jiang, for sending the official house sister back to the mansion. The younger sister is not sensible. In the future, the officials will strictly discipline her and won't let her go out of the mansion at will. It's late today, so I won't let the general drink tea."

Shangguan Luming came over and made a shallow salute, just to see off the guests.

Jiang Hong talked quickly this time, glanced at the gate of the mansion where Shangguan Lu Yong was no longer seen, and thought he was smart enough to help Shangguan Lu Yong with a word.

"I just happened to meet your sister on the road today when I was returning home from the Ministry of War, and I sent her back along the way. Don't scold her."

Shangguan Luming looked at Jiang Honglai's direction with his sleeves in his hands while smiling.

"The lower official didn't know that the Ministry of War was at the General's Mansion, but I troubled General Jiang to go home first, and then turned around to send my little sister back."

It got darker and darker, Jiang Hong pursed his lips, thinking he might as well not say anything.

"It's getting late, General Jiang, please go back."

Shangguan Luming's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip, so Jiang Hong had no choice but to hand in his hand and get on the carriage resentfully.

On the way back to the mansion, Jiang Hong suddenly slapped his thigh, lifted the curtain of the car and asked the coachman: "His sister followed me, and I sent her back with good intentions. Why is that Shangguan Luming so angry at me? I didn't mess with him!"

The coachman stroked his beard, swayed his legs leisurely and replied: "Major General, I only have one daughter, if one day she stays away from home all day and goes out to run with men, do you think I will give that brat a good face?" ?”

"Then it will definitely not be given to... huh? So I have to suffer?"

Jiang Hong was extremely depressed.

"Hahahaha, I can't answer the major general's question, you have to figure it out yourself."

Duan Wangfu.

"My lord, our people have already ambushed Princess Jiarou on her way back to Beijing, but what about the things you promised Beidi?"

In Fufeng Garden, Mrs. Xu, who was brought back from the northern border by King Duan, was negotiating with King Duan.

"Here, my king has already sent people to deliver the materials on the list to the ferry in Donghai Mansion, and they will be able to reach Beidi by sea in a few days."

King Duan threw a volume of brochures to Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu opened it to see that it was the medicinal materials and other materials urgently needed by Bei Zhai, as well as half a drawing of the catapult.

"My lord, don't worry, Bei Zhai has always kept his word and will definitely kill Princess Jiarou on the way."

Imperial Mausoleum Feng En Hall.

The ever-burning lamp curled up with clear smoke, stretching the shadow of Wei Huai'en kneeling on the futon into a long blurred shadow.She was dressed in plain clothes, without any makeup, and stood alone in front of the incense table.

"Mother, brother."

After one stick of incense burnt out, she opened her eyes and added three more, rubbed her swollen and sore knees, walked around the incense table, and held the two tablets, one new and one old, to their proper positions.

"It's been three years since I came to see you."

With nostalgia, she caressed the ravine engraved with the names of the former empress and the first prince with her fingers, and her thumb lingered for a long time when they left.

"Wynn is doing well. Maybe you have been watching me all the time, knowing that I have avenged my brother and done many things that you didn't allow me to do before."

Above these two tablets are the monarchs of the dynasty, the ancestors and ancestors.The originally solemn and solemn Feng'en Hall was now set off by her low voice like a home that could be attached to.

She seemed to be able to perceive two souls standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile.

"I have a lot to say to you."

A drop of tear fell on the back of her trembling hand, which made her shrink back.

"I didn't mean to cry, but you know, I cry so easily."

It's just that after no one would take her tears seriously, and after tears were just a sign of cowardice, she forced herself to harden her heart.

"I came to see you this time, first because Wynn's road is going very smoothly, and maybe there will be good news for you this year."

She picked up the somewhat old tablet and carefully carried it into her arms.

"The second is because there is someone who wants to meet you."

She seemed a little embarrassed, as if she felt a little embarrassed in front of the two relatives she had imagined, and seemed to be able to feel the interested eyes of the two souls.

"I'll call him in right now, and you'll like him."

She put the memorial tablet back, turned her head and called out to the back outside the hall door: "Xiao Qi, come in."

These servants are not allowed to step into a sacred place like Feng En Hall, even though there are people from the Princess Mansion inside and out, he still hesitated for a moment before entering when he pushed the door.

"come over."

Standing behind the incense table, she was surrounded by clear smoke and candlelight. There was a smile on the corners of her eyes and brows, and the warm orange was reflected in her plain clothes.

If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't need to kneel down to her long ago, but now he inexplicably wants to bow down under her skirt.

Because the room was full of lofty tablets, oppressing him so that he couldn't lift his head, only she stretched out her hand to him.

"Wynn."

He walked to her side and interlocked the fingers of her right hand, as if he could get infinite strength from her to support his spine.

"Mother, brother. His name is Xiao Qi."

She took his hand and raised it up, shaking in front of the two tablets which were completely different from those in gold on the black background.

Only then did he realize how different the two tablets were, and just by looking at their vermilion background and gold-painted characters, he knew that these two tablets were her relatives.

Because it also makes him feel warm.

　See the parents - tablet.

　　Emperor Yonghe doesn't count.

　　In fact, the two of them have a rough life experience, but compared with everything they have now, the pain in the past seems not worth mentioning.

　　But a spoiler, Xiao Qi is about to stand up, you may think that he has become bad later, but what bad thoughts can he have hahaha
