Chapter 283 Bald and Strong

New Year's Eve
Su Ziji took a shower and stood outside the tent with his hands folded to look at the scenery. The mountains in the distance looked a little dreamy in the morning light, and the snow-capped peaks were even more holy.

Some big birds skipped through the air and circled around the peak, making crisp calls.

In the past, Su Ziji probably only regarded this as an ordinary thing, but after experiencing the eagle incident, Su Ziji has become wary of these birds.

It's a pity that even the little fox can't judge which birds are spies and which birds are ordinary animals.

Thinking of the little fox, Su Ziji couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Ever since the little fox was injured, he had been hiding in the cave. For fear of getting infected halfway, he shaved the fur near the wound.

It probably hurt his self-esteem to make it alopecia areata. The little fox's wound is almost healed, but he has been depressed all the time, so he has to coax him carefully.

"Master Su, this is your breakfast." A soldier carrying a food box came over at this moment, saw Su Ziji in front of the tent, and immediately speeded up and handed over the food box.

Su Ziji gave a silver reward last time, but he didn't give it this time, and just smiled.

Turning around and going back to the tent to open the food box, he didn't eat first, but took two chicken legs wrapped in oil paper, pushed aside the chair, and said softly, "Xiaobai, it's time to eat."

After a while, the little fox came out, chirped twice, and wanted to shrink back.

"... Isn't it just a piece of baldness, why do you mind so much?"

"Gu Xian said: If you are bald, you will also become stronger."

"Chirp!" The little fox yelled angrily, what ancient sage, who said this?
Only then was he angry, Su Ziji took the opportunity to pick it up, and checked it carefully: "Your injury healed quickly, and it has already healed."

Should it be said that it is a little fox?Shao Sisen's arrow wound has not fully healed yet, and the little fox's wound is no longer visible.

"Chirp!" The little fox yelled twice again, then moved his ears, jumped down from his arms, and jumped back into the hole.

Su Ziji covered the hole with his hands, and when he got up, a familiar voice sounded outside: "Brother Su Xian, I'm Jian Qu, I'm here to drink with you now."

Jian Qu really only brought wine this time.

Su Ziji invited him in. Seeing that he was only carrying a jar of wine, he took out his bacon and smoked chicken to drink with him. He guessed in his heart that Jian Qu came to drink early in the morning, and he was afraid that something might happen.

Jian Qu drank a glass of wine, his face was flushed, he squeezed the wine glass, thought for a long time, and then asked: "By the way, Brother Su Xian, do you know the current situation in the cottage?"

"Sure enough" flashed in Su Ziji's mind, he also drank his cup, heard the slight sound of the cup and plate, and said, "I have no official position, unless the two imperial envoys call me over to talk about something, otherwise I only know that everyone in the army Knowing things, unlike Brother Jian, you are Qian Shuai's staff, so you must have learned about the cottage early."

After taking a sip of wine, he put it down and smiled: "Can I ask brother Jian to tell me about the situation in the cottage, so that I can know what's going on in my heart."

This makes sense, Jian Qu smiled: "It's natural!"

"Since I came to drink with you, unless these things are confidential, I will naturally know everything and talk about it."

Just a little bit about the cottage situation.

Su Ziji had already known about this through wild Taoists, but he didn't stop him, but nodded slightly.

Suddenly, I heard Jian Qu say that the cottage has always had sacrifices because it worships the gods.This was just what Jian Qu said casually, and Su Ziji's heart moved.

"Sacrifice?"

Jian Qu nodded, a little disapprovingly: "Yes, mountain folk and wild gods like Dongshan, Fazhu, and Yuanmu are not uncommon, but it's a bit surprising to hear that a priestess presides over the village sacrifices recently."

Su Ziji thought this way at first, but now his heart froze, the cottage was connected with monsters, how could he know that these gods were monsters?
Another priestess?

Su Ziji secretly paid attention, thinking that if he had a chance, he would investigate the situation.

Seeing that what Su Ziji asked had nothing to do with Qian Shuai's secrets, but only asked about the cottage, Jian Qu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt bitter.

He came to find Su Ziji this time, but he really had no choice.

Since that day when she separated from Qian Shuai, in the days that followed, even though Qian Shuai would occasionally call him over, his attitude toward him became more and more intimate each time. Not only did this not reassure Jian Qu, but it made him sleep badly. In the past ten days, a lot of hair has fallen out.

Coming to Su Ziji was the last resort.

Su Ziji can promise that he has a chance to survive, no matter how arrogant Qian Zhidong is, he will not go to the official ship to assassinate a small staff member, and it will be even safer when he arrives in the capital.

But whether Su Ziji could agree, Jian Qu had no idea.

Everyone can see that this big victory, Qian Zhidong will definitely return to the court, even if he is not a knight, he will still be a general. People, offend Qian Shuai?

Although he will not be assassinated in the capital at that time, it is not something that everyone is willing to do if he has an enmity with Xungui for no reason.

Jian Qu hesitated for several days because of this.

In the end, he chose to come because he thought about it. Su Ziji and Qian Zhidong might not be afraid of offending him because he wanted to compete with Qian Zhidong. After all, Su Ziji refused Qian Zhidong's invitation before, and Jian Qu heard about it.

It was with such weak expectations that he came here, and he looked like he could talk and laugh, but in fact his heart was as anxious as a fire.

Because he was afraid that Su Ziji would refuse and lose the last straw, he didn't even dare to speak rashly, but after Su Ziji finished asking about the matter and thought he had helped, he carefully talked about his reason for coming.

"Brother Su Xian, the enemy has already surrendered to 56 villages. If there is no accident, I am afraid that the war in the southwest will end soon. No matter how good the southwest is, it is still a remote place. When the war is over, people like me will not be needed."

"I'm also a Juren. I'm going to the capital to take part in this test. When you left, Brother Su Xian, you just didn't know... would you like to go with me?"

As soon as Su Ziji understood, it was Jian Qu's cryptic request for protection.

Ordinarily, Jian Qu is just Qian Zhidong's staff, not an official, and can leave at any time, but with Qian Zhidong's temperament, Jian Qu wants to leave, fearing that something will happen on the way.

Su Ziji originally planned to let Qian Zhidong die here at the end of the Southwest War. Jian Qu felt okay to himself, and was willing to be a favor, smiling: "As long as Brother Jian doesn't dislike it, when the time comes You can come to my boat, stay next to me, and discuss articles at sea."

"Brother Jian?" Su Ziji looked over and was taken aback when he didn't hear Jian Qu's words.

Seeing that Jian Qu seemed to let out a breath all of a sudden, his whole body relaxed, not only that, but also the circles of his eyes were red, with tears flickering.

"Brother Su Xian, I, Jian Qu, really have nothing to repay your kindness!" As she spoke, Jian Qu choked up a bit: "If I can reach the capital safely, I will definitely remember the great kindness of Brother Su Xian!"

"Brother Jian, why are you doing this?" Su Ziji pretended not to understand, and said in surprise, "It's just a way back to Beijing to save some travel expenses, it's just a trivial matter!"
