"As someone who has been through this, I would like to advise you on something."
Zheng Quchi's heart was high, but he still pretended to be unreasonable.
"Uncle, we are so familiar with each other. If you have anything to say, just say it. I am not stubborn, so please listen to your advice." She said sincerely, her big eyes twinkling.
It must be said that Muke really didn't like Sang Xuanqing at first. He looked dark and short, like a briquette.
But after getting along with her, I found that her personality was real and easy to get along with. The most important thing was that she was like a treasure, and I kept digging for it.
So now he looks at her and is completely satisfied.
No matter what black is, it is called healthy skin color.
No matter how short you are, small people are smart.
She is also willing to work hard and is a good craftsman.
But for such an honest child, when he learned that she had taken a part-time job as a craftsman, he was really stunned for a long time, and he didn't even want to believe it for a while.
When the general asked him to join the camp, he was obviously working as a work officer, but secretly he was specialized in doing detailed work.
But he investigated the inside and outside of the construction camp, but he didn't find any clues on her body.
Who would think that Xiaozuo doesn't do some beastly things, but she is just like a doormat, and she will do whatever the mangy man arranges for her to do.
There are also people who are generally careful, judging from their experience, there will be more or less dark thoughts in their eyes, so when they look at the person they are looking at, they will hide, avoid, or look down, for fear that others will see them. The guilt and deceit in his eyes.
But when she looks at people, her dog eyes are very honest and sincere.
Muke didn't say anything about missing the point, but he was somewhat relieved to hear that she had found her way back.
"Uncle knows that you are involved with the Mo family. I am afraid that you are young and have gone astray and been taken advantage of by others. I will tell you everything about this matter. You must make a decision as soon as possible. The general will test you sooner or later. Yes, you must not get dizzy at the critical moment, do you understand?"
When Zheng Quchi heard this, he looked at him in surprise.
"Uncle Mu? I'm afraid you are not an ordinary work officer, or are you doing something small for me for the Mo family? It's not a big deal at all? Otherwise, why has it spread all over the place?"
Seeing her confused look, Uncle Mu couldn't help but laugh: "Nonsense, you've already taken me as a trick, how can this matter be so small? I will tell you about it later. In short, remember what uncle said, the general is already a netizen to you. You're being open-minded, I can see that. So don't be confused again. As long as you trust the general wholeheartedly and be loyal only to him, you will never regret it in the future."
Trust Yu Wensheng?
How big a heart must she have to make herself forget the things he did before.
Zheng Quchi had actually thought about these questions, but when Mu Ke laid them out in front of the public, it was actually equivalent to an open-book exam for her. If she could get the answers wrong in this way, let alone give Ke a gift. She herself felt hopeless.
"Well, Uncle Ke, don't worry, I won't be confused again. I have experienced so many things at once. No matter how ignorant I am, I should think more about how to go about the future."
She sounded like she was following his wishes, but in fact she was talking to herself.
"You are a smart child. You have lived for most of your life and still want to pursue success and fame, let alone at your age. You may be tempted by beautiful and brilliant prospects for a while, but these should rely on your true ability and your What you get by being down-to-earth can enable you to go on with peace of mind for the rest of your life.”
As he talked, his emotions became a little excited, just like he had experienced such difficulties and lost his way, and finally turned around after losing the most important thing to him.
Zheng Quchi quickly stepped forward and patted his back to calm him down: "I know, look at me. I'm standing in front of my uncle. Do you think I look like that kind of person? Although I am young, but My steps have never been frivolous. Every step I have taken so far has been very heavy. Sometimes when I look back, those footprints are still vivid in my mind."
Mu Ke listened to her relaxed and gentle narration. It was like being soaked in the fragrance of spring flowers. Talking is actually the spiritual part of people's clothing. It can make an ordinary person look like a layer of moist but not dazzling amber. Light.
Just like her.
"well."
After all, she was different from him. Thinking back to the same age, he couldn't catch up with the maturity in her heart. Every word and every thing he talked to her, she was not confused and panicked, and had enough understanding. Use confidence and experience to convince others.
What she may need is not other people's teachings, but letting go and giving her a bigger world to fly high.
How high can it fly?
Muke's heart became restless at this moment. It was jumping and trembling, excited for this unpredictable but certain day that he could definitely look forward to.
"Aqing, have you ever heard of the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild?"
From "Brother Sang" to "A Qing", this was a change in Mu Ke's inner attitude towards her. He wanted to cultivate her well and watered and fertilized the seedling he dug out.
Zheng Quchi nodded: "I've heard of it."
Mu Ke was surprised: "Where have you heard of it?"
Zheng Quchi: "..."
Hey, hey, he asked suddenly, which made her panic. Shouldn't she have heard it?
Indeed, if Master Li hadn't told her, she really wouldn't have known about such a thing, but could it be that this matter was still a secret among the craftsmen?
Before Zheng Quchi could defend himself, Mu Ke explained it to himself.
"It was someone from the Mo family who told you. Since you know, I can save my words. In the early spring of February, the leader of the craftsmen will hold the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild in Yongchun, Julu Kingdom. At that time, the Seven Kingdoms This is a rare and important event for craftsmen, and we will definitely go there. When the time comes, I would like to ask a favor from the general and bring you along with me."
Zheng Quchi was stunned for a moment: "Uncle Mu wants to take me with you?"
"Yes, I'll take you with me." He said seriously: "Aqing, you can't just be trapped in the small space in front of you. If you have the opportunity, you should go out and walk more to see how big the world is outside. "
Zheng Quchi said that she was not stubborn, and as long as someone was right and sincerely good for her, she would be grateful for the advice.
"I would like to go, but is this Jichun Craftsmen's Guild accessible to everyone?" She was a little unsure.
Although Master Li also said that he would take her there, she didn't trust him and always felt that he seemed to be hiding many secrets, so she had no plans to go with him from the beginning.
"Of course not." Muke smiled and patted her shoulder: "But you can do it. I have already submitted your earth-moving tools to the county's craftsmen's association for review. If you add a crane this time, Your craftsman rating should come down smoothly.”
Zheng Quchi looked at Muke stupidly: "Uncle...can it be so, so simple?"
She couldn't believe it when someone came down to do it for her before she even showed up.
"Of course it's not simple, but you have two works, and together with your brother Wei, I am willing to guarantee for you that your earth hoist and crane will make a significant contribution to the fortification, so this is why it went so smoothly."
Wei Yao?
During this period of time, he was busy, and she was also busy. There were very few opportunities for the two of them to meet. In addition, he seemed a little embarrassed towards her. Although she no longer cared about his informing, she was not interested in it for a while. Since I lost my previous enthusiasm, I never took the initiative to look for him.
Unexpectedly, he was silently helping her obtain a craftsman rating.
Upon hearing this exciting news, she jumped up and hugged Muke happily: "Uncle, thank you. If you didn't tell me, I didn't know you had done so many things for me."
Muke was also infected by her vitality and joy. He suppressed his laughter and asked her to stand up: "Thank you for anything. If you want to thank me, just go and thank the general. If you want to thank us, we can only run errands for you and fight for it, but the general is The person who controls your future destiny."
Is he instigating her to go find Yu Wensheng to "flatter him"?
But he was so elusive, where could she go after the "horse's ass"?
——
At this time, Yu Wensheng's cavalry, who was missed by Zheng Quchi, was returning in triumph from the grasslands of the nomadic barbarians.
The flags were flying, the red sunset was gradually fading, and they returned with their blood-stained clothes dyed red.
The fierce winds of winter are raging, and the canyon is filled with unbearable coldness. As night falls, the plains, hills, and distant mountains are all so quiet and cool, and blackness spreads like ink to the vast and boundless desolation.
Riding in the winding mountains, although there is a long distance between them, you can still see the city wall construction work in full swing on the other side of Guixanpo.
Because we are in a rush period, we usually light a bonfire after nightfall to catch up on work for an extra hour, but we generally don’t stay up late at night.
Yu Wensheng reined in his horse and looked at each other from a distance. For a moment, he made no move to continue on his way.
The rest of the troops stagnated. They were as solid as a rock. Because of the responsibilities and missions of soldiers, they would try their best to overcome all difficulties every time they went into battle, but at the same time they would inevitably feel tired and mentally numb and empty.
They didn't light torches, and the long procession lay silently among the dark mountains, without stars or moon. However, after seeing the city wall that was gradually built, they felt an inexplicable sense of stability and relaxation. .
It's like... they seem to have new support behind them, and they are not fighting alone.
As they struggled to face the enemy, there was also a force behind them working hard to protect and fight with them.
This time Wang Zebang killed the enemy and accidentally suffered some minor injuries. The blood loss made his face look a little cold and pale.
He followed the general's line of sight and saw that the fire in the distance was so bright and warm that even he couldn't help but feel a little moved: "General, it seems that Sang Xuanqing really did it..."
After a long silence, Yu Wensheng ignored the topic and asked, "Where is the vanguard unit that Nan Chen set out to do now?"
"The Liantai station in Julu Kingdom has stopped. It seems that the two countries are preparing to make a big move... I heard that Mo Ye returned to Julu Kingdom smoothly." Wang Zebang said.
At this time, Wei Yao couldn't hide his worry: "But it will take at least half a year to repair the city wall project and rebuild the damaged parts... If they are really stuck at this juncture and choose to attack, wouldn't everything be in vain again?"
"So..." Yu Wensheng put on his gloves with a slightly curved smile, exuding a terrifying blood energy: "It's time to try to see if the batch of Mohist weapons we seized from Nanchen Kingdom are worth it. It sold for such a huge price.”
Wang Zebang said: "General, you should take a rest first. Besides, Gongshu Lan has not done enough research on instruments, and some of them still don't understand how to use them. However, she said that she has recently developed a weapon that is sharper than iron weapons. Dedicate it to the general."
When Wei Yao heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Why do these words sound so familiar? Oh, Sang Xuanqing seems to have said it before."
"How can Sang Xuanqing compare with Gongshu girl?" Wang Zebang was dissatisfied.
Wei Yao was unhappy when he heard this: "Everything Sang Xuanqing does is obvious to all. She, Gong Shulan, talks about everything well, but in the end, which one can she really pull off?"
Wang Zebang frowned: "Don't forget, her surname is Gongshu. Just this surname alone is a hundred times more important than Sang Xuanqing."
"Who said that? Sang Xuanqing is the second brother of our general's wife. Could it be that our general's second brother-in-law is not as good as someone with a public surname?" Wei Yao said all the things he shouldn't have said in a hurry. .
Wang Zebang was shocked: "You...what are you talking nonsense about?!"
The two of them quickly looked at the general with sweat on their heads.
Firstly, they were afraid that if they criticized the general and his wife's family affairs, the general would want to kill them. Secondly, they were almost driven out of their minds and were really eager to get a definite answer from the general.
What does what happened before mean?
Is the "Liu Fengmian" mentioned by Sang Xuanqing the general's pseudonym, and is the general married to Sang Xuanqing's sister?
Help.
The spirit of gossip and curiosity was almost burning their eyes red.
However, Yu Wensheng was always there. He gently raised his thick eyelashes and half-smiled: "Have you had enough noise?"
Wei Yao and Wang Zebang immediately felt like a basin of cold water was poured over their heads, and their hearts felt so cold that they felt so cold.
They quickly lowered their heads, not daring to make another mistake.
"Has Gongsu Jiruo's whereabouts been found out?"
"He seems to have disappeared out of thin air. After checking, he is no longer in Fu County, but Gongshu Lan is still in our hands. Logically speaking, since he came for her, he cannot leave easily." Wei Yao said.
"Where's Master Li?"
Wang Zebang said: "Fu Rong checked and found out that he is indeed a carpenter from Jixia Academy. He is classmates and friends with Yuan Sui and Yin Xiao at the academy. This time he will go to Fu County with them because he hired He is a stonemason, so he did not participate in the construction of the city wall, but he was able to come and go freely because of his relationship with the original followers."
"And he has been following Sang Xuanqing these days. He is probably a carpenter, and he wants to have a close discussion. There is nothing wrong with him."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wensheng clasped his fingertips, tapped the reins, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Recall Fu Rong."
Wang Zebang and Wei Yao were shocked: "General, why are you recalling Fu Rong at this time?"
"I have my own opinion on this matter."
Wei Yao and Wang Zebang looked at each other in private, and both saw solemnity in the other's eyes.
Because what Fu Rong is best at is disguise, gathering intelligence and identifying people.
Therefore, whether a person is disguised, whether he is a man or a woman, or whether he is pretending to be old or young, all he needs to do is examine it with Fu Rong's eyes, and he will be able to get the answer.
