Could it be that the general has a crush on me

However, although he thought so in his heart, he felt a little awkward to answer truthfully, Zhuo Ling hesitated for a while, and finally said: "This time the commander-in-chief is not you, but me."

"Really..." Qi Yunshuo was not annoyed, and said slowly, "This means that I don't need to worry about anything this time, right? I'm happy to be at ease, thank you General Qi."

"You... I'm too lazy to argue with you, so don't interfere if you have the ability."

Zhuo Ling continued to walk out. In fact, after getting along with him during this time, he probably got to know Qi Yunshuo a little bit. He knew that it was impossible for him to stand idly by with his character.

Not to mention helping himself, besides the recruits, there are other soldiers, many of whom are brothers who have followed Qi Yunshuo through life and death, so he must have a deep relationship with those people.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Ling suddenly calmed down a bit, and just now in the carriage he asked Qi Yunshuo why he was willing to help, so could it be that he was only doing it for those brothers?

Zhuo Ling shook his head, wondering why he always thought about these messy things.

When he came here just now, he was in the carriage of the General's Mansion, so now he is naturally responsible for escorting Qi Yunshuo, the "Prince", back to the palace.

"I heard that the lotus in the General's Mansion is blooming very well. I wonder if this crown prince has the honor to go and see it once or twice?"

Qi Yunshuo suddenly threw out such a sentence, which caused Zhuo Ling to be puzzled, and then he continued: "Is General Qi's expression not welcome?"

"His Royal Highness wants to go, and the general will naturally welcome you." Zhuo Ling replied with a smile on his face, but he thought that the general's mansion was originally Qi Yunshuo's mansion, maybe he wanted to go back to get something, or It's not an exaggeration to want to go back and have a look after being away for so many days.

So the carriage finally turned around and went back to the General's Mansion. After getting out of the carriage, Zhuo Ling led Qi Yunshuo inside familiarly. When he got to the study, he sent the servant girls to guard outside and closed the study door himself.

"Oh, it seems that you are adapting well."

Qi Yunshuo laughed softly, Zhuo Ling walked to the desk and sat down, and said, "I don't want to adapt, but what can I do? By the way, we are about to go to war now, so isn't it the matter of finding Liu Xianzhu?" Is there going to be a delay?"

"I sent my cronies to look for it, it's okay." Qi Yunshuo said as he walked to the bookshelf, looking like he was looking for some books.

"You came back to read books? As a general, do you have to cram your feet temporarily? Are you going to revisit the book of war a few times before going out?"

Qi Yunshuo ignored Zhuo Ling's sly question, after searching for a while, he took out two books, turned around and walked in front of Zhuo Ling, and threw them on the desk.

"Hug Buddha's feet well."

Zhuo Ling picked up the books and looked at them, both of them were military books, guessing: "You don't mean to tell me to read these two books in these three days?"

"No."

"It's almost..."

"It's not enough to just read it, you have to keep it in your mind."

Zhuo Ling: "..."

"Three days is enough."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Do you think my expression looks like I'm joking?!"

After confirming that Qi Yunshuo was really not joking, Zhuo Ling was completely pissed, stood up and replied: "How can it be possible to read such a thick two military books in three days, and besides, you may have to go to the barracks frequently during these three days. You have to prepare other things, and you still want me to remember?"

"Although I'm with you this time, if you, the commander-in-chief, don't understand anything, there will definitely be problems."

"what is the problem?"

"There are still a few lieutenants at the border. When the time comes, we will discuss the military situation together, not the two of us, so I may not be able to give you too many hints at that time. Think about it, as a general, if you Wouldn’t it be a big problem if they couldn’t understand what they said?”

Zhuo Ling had nothing to say, it did sound reasonable, he had never been to a battlefield, so naturally he couldn't think of this, he thought everything would be fine with Qi Yunshuo's presence, but now it seems that it is not such a simple matter.

"Then I may not be able to remember..." He looked at the two military books with some distress. Since he was a child, the most annoying thing was reading. Before, he had studied poetry collections related to romantic love for a period of time in order to please Yao Qixue, but It's just a collection of poems.

The art of war book, I know it must be boring, it is good to read it, let alone remember, the blood that was ignited in the barracks just now has cooled down a little bit.

"Sooner or later, you will ascend to the throne of God. In addition to the way of governing the country, you should learn some battlefield-related formations. It is not uncommon for the imperial conquest. Even if there is no such opportunity, at least you can tell the difference. The situation presented by the Qing battle report."

Seeing Qi Yunshuo explaining to him so seriously, Zhuo Ling felt that he was not worthy of sitting in this seat if he pushed back and forth again, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, isn't it just two books, I must have read them by heart!"

"Well, you can ask me anytime if you don't understand something." After Qi Yunshuo finished speaking, he suddenly walked around to Zhuo Ling and took a closer look. Zhuo Ling backed away a little uncomfortably, and asked, "What are you doing?" ?”

"It's nothing, it's just that His Highness said earlier that he would not bathe the minister, so the minister has heard that after so many days, is it rotten?"

"Go away, is this prince such a person who doesn't like cleanliness? Do you think everyone is like you?"

"My minister earnestly burns incense and takes a bath every day. If your highness doesn't believe me, you can smell it. The fragrance of orchids, have you smelled it?"

Zhuo Ling's eyes widened immediately upon hearing the words, "Bathing every day? How do you take a bath?"

"Do you still need to teach His Highness how to take a bath?"

"Didn't I warn you not to take a bath!"

Qi Yunshuo looked aggrieved: "But if you don't take a bath in such a hot day, news will spread in the court that His Royal Highness is sour and stinky. His Royal Highness is shameless and shameless, after all, now they all think I am you."

Zhuo Ling also knew in his heart that it is impossible to not bathe and change clothes for so many days in the scorching summer. He had deliberately ignored this problem before, but now he really has to face it.

"Besides, didn't His Highness also wash the humble minister, it's fair to reciprocate."

"But I didn't read anything, I washed it in a hurry every time and just finished it."

"Everyone is a man, I have what you have, what's the difference between seeing and not seeing?"

"It was like this before, but now I find that you are even tempted by a man's confession. Who knows if a person like you will do anything weird to the prince's body."

"This means that the humble minister has a habit of breaking sleeves?!"

Zhuo Ling originally wanted to be euphemistic, but he didn't expect Qi Yunshuo to bring it up so openly. He was a little surprised and asked, "Huh? Do you really have a habit of breaking sleeves?"

"What if it is? What if it isn't?"

This is obviously a tacit consent, Zhuo Ling doesn't know what to say, Qi Yunshuo is more than [-] years old, others at his age already have wives and concubines in groups, but he has always been a loner. question.

If he had heard the news before, he would definitely have contemptuously ridiculed him.

But now it feels a bit uncomfortable. I always feel that the two of us can be regarded as friends. If a friend is like this, I should try to persuade him.

Qi Yunshuo had already sat on the chair that Zhuo Ling was sitting on before, looking at Zhuo Ling who was full of confusion and bewilderment. In fact, he didn't intend to talk about these things directly. This time, what happened to Prince Zhe Cang was an accident. But since there was an accident, we might as well take advantage of it and test Zhuo Ling's bottom line.

Can you accept this kind of feeling, or completely hate and reject it...

"Qi Yunshuo..."

"Ok?"

"You are like this, do your parents know?"

"They are long gone, don't your Highness know?!"

"Of course I know, I mean, did they..."

"What if you know?"

"Then they didn't stop you?"

"What's stopping me? Your Highness, for so many years, I have done nothing except go to battle and kill the enemy."

Zhuo Ling was stunned for a moment, and felt that what he said seemed to have some truth, he continued to ask: "Then you have been unable to get married is it because you put all your energy on the battlefield, or is it because of your addiction to breaking sleeves?"

"I don't get married because I can't get what I love."

"Ah? What can't you ask for?"

"The person I love, I can't ask for it, and I can't let it go."

"Do you have a sweetheart? Which girl... or which family's son?"

Qi Yunshuo just looked at Zhuo Ling quietly, his expression didn't seem to want to answer this question, Zhuo Ling thought he just didn't want to mention it, so he persuaded him: "Actually, you don't have to be so sad, there are more than just things you can't ask for in this world. You alone, look at me, after so many years, it’s still not in vain.”

"Then can you let go?"

"I'm sure I can let it go. I already know that she has no intentions for me. The reason why she is perfunctory from far and near is just because of the situation. What about you? Can you let go?"

Qi Yunshuo shook his head and sighed, "If I could let it go, I would have let it go."

Zhuo Ling suddenly lost his mood, knowing that Qi Yunshuo had someone he couldn't let go of seemed to be more unpleasant than knowing that he decided to consider Bai Zhecang's love.

"It's just that you are cowardly if you can't let go, and you don't have the determination and perseverance."

"Perhaps, that's fine, you know there is a soup pool in my mansion, right?"

"Of course I know, I go there to take a bath every day."

"Hey, I miss it because I haven't been there recently. Your Highness, it's rare for me to go back to the residence today. Why don't we go to the hot spring together?"

Zhuo Ling frowned: "Why did you drag the prince with you to take a bath? The prince has no interest in bathing with you at all. Please do it yourself."

"But now they all think that I am the crown prince. It would seem weird if I walked around the mansion alone. Your Highness, even if you don't take a bath with me, you should serve around anyway, right?"

"Serve the left and right?"

Qi Yunshuo nodded, with a bright smile on his face, and said shamelessly: "For example, I am taking a bath, and your Highness is watching. Anyway, it is your own body. It's okay to look at it, just to monitor whether I am there or not. Do weird things in the shower."
