The General Is As Urgent As Law

Xue Ziqin came out of the wing, the cold wind outside made him shiver.The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was difficult for women to understand, especially for a lady like Cen Liyun, who started to cry at every turn but couldn't understand half a sentence. It was really harder to guess the thoughts of an enemy general.

There are still a few hours before dawn, and even if it is dawn, Xue Ziqin may not get up. After all, this is not in the military camp, and everyone will want to be lazy sometimes.

After thinking for a moment, only Min Qiu can go there.I don't know if the other spare rooms have been tidied up. There is no bedding in this weather, so it is quite uncomfortable to sleep.Thinking of this, Xue Ziqin quietly ran to the room where Min Qiu was, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Min Qiu, Min Qiu."

There was an immediate reaction inside: "Who?"

"It's me." Xue Ziqin replied a little louder.

Footsteps sounded, and then the door was opened a crack, Min Qiu looked at Xue Ziqin sleepily, and asked in a daze, "What's the matter, General?"

"It's okay, I'll sleep with you." Xue Ziqin said and planned to go in.

Who knew that Min Qiu quickly stretched out his hand to push him: "The general's wife hasn't seen the general for three years, why are you sleeping here with me..."

"Hey, I'm so tired of crying." Xue Ziqin didn't care so much, stretched out his hand to open the door, and immediately got into the room.He casually threw his coat on the table, then got into the mattress and lay down, and said again: "It's not that I haven't seen you in three years, it's that I haven't seen you at all."

Min Qiu shook his head helplessly, closed the door and fastened it, returned to the couch, and lay down side by side with Xue Ziqin.

The original drowsiness was almost wiped away by Cen Liyun crying so much, Xue Ziqin lay on the couch with his eyes open, feeling extremely refreshed.Min Qiu had already fallen asleep, but was woken up by Xue Ziqin, and when he returned to the couch, he was still very sleepy, and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

Who knew that Xue Ziqin suddenly said, "How long have we not slept together?"

"Since the general became a general." Min Qiu said.

When Xue Ziqin was a major general, he often slept with soldiers.They were all soldiers, and occasionally they would sleep directly in the wild because of the war, and would lie in a mess when they were sleepy, not caring who was sleeping next to them or how many people were sleeping.

When Min Qiu said this, Xue Ziqin remembered a lot of things from the past.Min Qiu has been following him for a long time, and he is still reliable despite hard work.

Xue Ziqin said again: "Do you remember the time when you and the old man fought against Xi Su?"

"Ok?"

"Just when you thought I was dead and cried."

"..."

"You are really fragile." Xue Ziqin thought of the scene at that time, and felt it was funny from the bottom of his heart.Min Qiu beside him turned over, obviously embarrassed, and didn't want to talk to him.But Xue Ziqin didn't think it was enough, so he pushed Min Qiu with his elbow and said, "Do you remember?"

"...Remember." Min Qiu had no choice but to answer him, and then yawned a long time, "Go to sleep, General, it's getting late."

But Xue Ziqin seemed to be unable to hear the second half of the sentence, and continued: "She is Xuan'er's older sister, so I don't think she looks alike at all."

Hearing these words, Min Qiu suddenly regained his energy and replied: "The Ninth Prince was born to Concubine Jin, and Princess Yun was born to Queen."

"It must be like the emperor." Xue Ziqin said.

"Maybe they all look like mothers."

"Then why is she crying? She has been wronged like this after marrying into Xue's family." Xue Ziqin said again.

This made Min Qiu feel wronged for Princess Yun.He moved a little bit, lay flat and said: "General, why are you pretending to be stupid? Princess Yun has never seen you since she married, and the wedding night in the bridal chamber was also disturbed by assassins. Can you not be wronged?"

"...That's it."

Xue Ziqin replied like a fool.However, Min Qiu was disturbed so much that he felt sullen in his heart, he only heard him quietly saying: "If the Ninth Prince cries like this, will the general still find it annoying?"

He didn't know what was Xue Ziqin's illusion, but when he heard Min Qiu's words, he always felt that there was some sadness in it, as if there was something in the words.He didn't think too much, and replied truthfully: "Yu'er won't cry like that."

"What if?"

"Then everything depends on him."

"So, the general only finds it annoying because he doesn't like the princess." Min Qiu said.

"Why should I like her? I don't even know her." Xue Ziqin said confidently.

"..."

"Do you want me to give you a girl as your wife?"

"……want."

Xue Ziqin had nothing to say.

The two were silent for a while, Min Qiu and Xue Ziqin didn't speak any more.

Now Min Qiu couldn't sleep anymore, Xue Ziqin started the conversation, and he also remembered the past in his mind.Min Qiu asked suddenly: "Then why does the general like the Ninth Prince?"

Since it was the middle of the night, Min Qiu's voice was also very low, even a little hoarse.He waited for a while, but Xue Ziqin didn't answer.Listening to the gradual and gentle breathing in his ears, Min Qiu guessed that he must have fallen asleep, so he closed his eyes and planned to sleep.

A little while later, when Min Qiu was about to fall asleep in a daze, Xue Ziqin suddenly turned over and put one leg on Min Qiu's.

Min Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and wanted to move his leg away, and he was familiar with the habit that his general had developed all year round, he slept lightly, and would wake up when touched.In desperation, Xue Ziqin had no choice but to let Xue Ziqin sit like this, and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, while Xue Ziqin was still sound asleep on the couch, Steward Zhang knocked on the door.Butler Zhang didn't know that Xue Ziqin was sleeping here with Min Qiu. He had called Xue Ziqin before, but was told by Princess Yun that he was not in the room, so he ran over to ask Min Qiu where Xue Ziqin was.

"Deputy General Min, Deputy General Min!"

Min Qiu got up sleepily and opened the door, "What's the matter, Butler Zhang?"

"The major general is not in the room. Does Deputy General Min know where he has gone? The general has been looking for him since he got up."

"Ah, general..." Min Qiu rubbed his eyes, always feeling that he knew where the general was, but he frowned and thought for a while but couldn't think of it, so he said truthfully, "I don't know either."

"Excuse me." Butler Zhang seemed very anxious, and left after saying this hastily.

"It's okay."

Min Qiu closed the door, yawned a long time, and went back to sleep on the couch.

He lifted the quilt and got in with half-closed eyes.Immediately afterwards, he heard someone "hissing" in his ear taking a breath.

Xue Ziqin was falling asleep, and a movement next to him almost woke him up. He closed his eyes tightly, unwilling to get up, but then he had to get up: "You're pressing my hair!!!"

This exclamation made Min Qiu's doze off all at once.He hurriedly moved to the side, and only then remembered that Xue Ziqin ran over to sleep on his couch in the middle of the night last night.

Although Xue Ziqin's long hair was tied, he never had the habit of combing it into a bun, and he didn't pay much attention to where the ends of his hair fell when he slept.As a result, Min Qiu pressed a lock of his hair as soon as he came up, and he was about to turn over when he pulled his scalp in a sharp pain.

"Uh..." Min Qiu turned to him and said, "The general is looking for you..."

"I know, I know, I'm so sleepy." Xue Ziqin said impatiently, moved a little bit, the whole body lay on his stomach, but his head was tilted towards Min Qiu.

His long and narrow eyes were slightly closed, and the bridge of his high nose was sunk in the pillow.Min Qiu looked at him, sighed to himself, and said softly to himself: "... such a pretty face is for nothing."

"What did you say?" Xue Ziqin asked in a deep voice without opening his eyes.

"The general is looking for you..."

Xue Ziqin propped up his upper body and sat up with displeasure on his face: "Understood."

Even if he was still sleepy, the old man asked him for something, so he couldn't just stay there all the time, so he got up and got down on the bed, only then remembered that he only came here with a coat last night, and the armor was all on his own. in the room.

He put on his coat, sat back on the couch, and patted Min Qiu who was about to continue sleeping: "Go and help me get my clothes."

"General, go by yourself..."

"Am I the general or are you the general? Just go if you are told!" Xue Ziqin slapped him on the shoulder impatiently, so hard that Min Qiu almost cried out.

Min Qiu had no choice but to obey when the official rank crushed people to death.He just got up on the couch to get dressed, and then Xue Ziqin got back into the quilt.

"Hurry up." Xue Ziqin said with only his head showing.

Min Qiu said while putting on his coat: "Yes..."

Later Min Qiu bit the bullet and went to Xue Ziqin's room, but the delicate Princess Yun was not in the room, so he quickly ran back with Xue Ziqin's clothes and sword.

After the two of them packed their bags, Xue Ziqin went to the front hall.

Butler Zhang called early, it was not long before dawn.From a long distance, Xue Ziqin saw Xue Changfeng and two other women sitting at the big table in the front hall having breakfast.One of them was crying last night, his wife, Princess Yun.

Xue Ziqin stepped forward and said, "Father."

Hearing this, Xue Changfeng put down the porridge in his hand, looked at him sullenly and said, "You're not in your room when you come back, where did you go?"

"I..." Xue Ziqin thought for a while, and casually gave a reason, "I was afraid of disturbing Princess Yun, so I didn't go there."

"It's early in the morning, don't get angry." Fu Yang picked up some more vegetables for Xue Changfeng and put them in his bowl, "Isn't it Ziqin, come and sit down quickly, let's talk about something after eating."

"Oh, good." Xue Ziqin nodded blankly, and sat down beside Princess Yun obediently.

The candlelight was dim last night, so he didn't pay attention to Princess Yun's appearance.Now that she was very close, she noticed that although she and Cen Lizhen didn't look alike, they were also of first-class appearance, with red lips and white teeth, skin like creamy fat, and eyes like stars.Feeling that Xue Ziqin was staring at her, Princess Yun shyly lowered her head.

Fu Yang always said something, but she had never met Xue Ziqin before. Seeing him now, she began to gossip: "I heard that Lin'er served as a soldier under Ziqin's command?"

"Lin'er? Wei Lin?" Xue Ziqin asked suspiciously.

"Correct."

"That's the case, but he has gone with his father."

"Before then, thank you Ziqin for taking care of me." Fu Yang said.

Xue Ziqin was full of doubts, not knowing why.

He only knew that Wei Lin was Wei Yuanting's son, and also knew that the old man had found a good friend from before, but he didn't know what was involved in it, why the old man wanted to ask Wei Lin about his good friend.

If it weren't for Wei Lin's identity, Xue Ziqin couldn't guarantee that he would still remember such a small soldier under his command. In comparison, he remembered Jiang Ye more.

Fu Yang said generously: "Lin'er, he is my son."

Xue Ziqin almost spat out the breakfast he had just put into his mouth.He raised his eyes to look at Xue Changfeng, and saw that the old man's expression was as usual, as if he was not unhappy about it.

The old man's friend gave birth to a son with Wei Yuanting... No matter how you think about it, it's not an understatement.

Min Qiu next to him was also surprised, if Fu Yang hadn't asked him to sit down, he would not have planned to have breakfast with him.Now he and Xue Ziqin both had surprise written on their faces, then they glanced at each other quietly, and continued to bury their heads in their meals.

Xue Ziqin couldn't bear the curiosity about this matter in his heart, and while eating, he raised his eyes from time to time to look at Fu Yang opposite, but the more he looked, the more he could see Wei Lin's shadow.

After breakfast, Xue Ziqin and Xue Changfeng went to the study.

Xue Changfeng barely said a word, Xue Ziqin walked behind him, and couldn't help but look at his adoptive father.After not seeing him for a long time, he vaguely felt that Xue Changfeng's footsteps were sloppy when he walked, and he was not as energetic as before.Considering Xue Changfeng's age, how could he not be so obviously weak.After entering the study, Xue Ziqin said, "Father...does he feel unwell recently?"

Xue Changfeng went straight to the table and sat down, said: "No problem. You made a lot of noise along the way, and the eunuch came here before dawn to ask for an explanation."

"Oh? He's still here to ask for an explanation..." Xue Ziqin said, "Isn't this what my foster father ordered me to do?"

"So I sent him away for you." Xue Changfeng said coldly, "I don't need to explain the matter now, you should understand it."

"Yes."

"How many people did you bring?"

"More than seven thousand people."

"Very good," Xue Changfeng said, "we just wait for the emperor to issue a decree to establish a crown prince. The second prince is doing a lot of things right now, but with our people here, the emperor must have some scruples. When necessary..."

"Qin'er knows."

"If the emperor dies before the crown prince is established, it will be another vicious fight."

"The Xue family's army is not afraid of fierce fighting." Xue Ziqin said, with a confident smile on his lips.

"You made such a big commotion yesterday, I'm afraid there will be an imperial decree to order you to enter the palace in the afternoon." Xue Changfeng said, "You said that the border is safe, and you came back to visit me when you heard that I was ill."

"Yes."
