The man in black reported respectfully: "I don't know, even though I am humble. I only know that Mr. Li lingered on the road he had to pass for a long time, and asked many relevant questions, and then hurriedly retreated."
"Oh!" Ying Zheng snorted, "Is there something strange about the only way to go?"
"No, Vice General Zhang ordered people to step into it. There is nothing suspicious." The man in black hesitated, as if he wanted to say something else, "I humble... think..."
Ying Zheng was not happy and shouted: "Don't hesitate, just say what you have to say."
"I humbly think that... I think that Li Shaonei doesn't know how to fight. Anyone who knows how to fight knows that soldiers are very fast, and there is no obstacle on the way to the bandit stronghold. It's a good time to attack. Li Shaonei But retreating is not..."
Ying Zheng naturally knew what the next words were. He didn't ask any more questions, and continued to frown and pace back and forth.
"Can he bring a sand gun?"
The man in black shook his head and added: "Not at all, not prepared at all."
This sentence is enough to show that Li Zhao has no qualifications as a general.
Ying Zheng looked sharply and scolded alone: "You bastard, I had high hopes for you, but you are so perfunctory. I am so disappointed."
"Zhang Han is also a coward. He disobeys military orders and acts without permission. He deserves to be punished." Ying Zheng was so angry that Zhang Han also suffered.
"You, return to Mount Saga immediately and issue my decree. If Zhang Han is still alive, capture him."
The man in black was a person who stood up for his words. He did not immediately accept the order, but hesitated.
"Do you have any objections?" Ying Zheng had a straight face, obviously dissatisfied.
"I will die, please forgive me. Although Zhang Han acted on his own initiative, he had no choice but to do so. I believe that his crime will not be punished."
The man in black paused and continued: "Besides, the suppression of the bandits has not been successful. Killing the generals will definitely affect the morale of the army, so it is a bad idea."
Ying Zheng felt that this was reasonable, so he suppressed his anger and waved his hand, "Forget it, let him go for now."
Disobeying military orders is a big mistake and must be severely punished. It is not too late to settle the score after the bandits are suppressed.
"Stand back. If anything happens, be sure to report it as soon as possible."
"promise!"
The man in black is gone.
Ying Zheng was no longer in the mood to enjoy flowers.
"Father, maybe Li Shaonei is not so unbearable. He must have his own plan." Just now, Yin Man listened to the two people's conversation carefully, and then defended Li Zhao.
Ying Zheng was slightly unhappy and said: "What kind of plan can we have? Bandits are different from thousands of troops, so a quick battle is the best strategy. His retreat is obviously showing weakness."
"How can a leader who shows weakness become a good general?"
"Unless he has a deadly weapon, such as a sand gun, and he is arrogant and does not take the sand gun seriously." In Ying Zheng's eyes, Li Zhao just doesn't take the sand gun seriously, otherwise it would be so important. How could you not even bring such a lethal weapon?
"But......"
Yin Man still wanted to say something, but Ying Zheng waved his hand and stopped the topic. He didn't want to ruin his interest in flower appreciation because of this.
After his father left, Yin Man's heart couldn't calm down, and he always felt that something was binding him, and he couldn't get rid of it.
Who is holding him back? It looks like Li Zhao.
"Will my father blame Li Shaonei? If so, should I intercede for him?"
"Although escaping in the middle of battle is a serious crime, Li Shaonei lacks experience in suppressing bandits, so it is understandable to do so."
"Bah, bah, why should I care that he's here? He's not mine." He blamed himself, but couldn't get rid of that figure.
"Is he in danger? Hey, what am I thinking about? He seems to care about him a little." Thinking of it, Yin Man blushed with shame, "No, I don't care about him, it's just that he saved me and gave me I prepared the flowers, and I was just politely thanking him, yes, that must be the case."
Yin Man tried his best to deny the thoughts in his mind, but the more he denied, the worse it got. That figure always appeared in his mind, filled with joy, worry, and even some thoughts.
"No, if this continues, you will be blamed by your father." Yes, last time she was blamed by her father for asking Li Zhao about flower materials. His father definitely didn't want her to have any relationship with Li Zhao.
"Can't think about it anymore."
Yin Man tried her best to force herself not to worry about that person, so she quickly ran to the boudoir and grabbed the book tightly - Mo Xuan's Selected Poems. Only by holding this book in hand and reading the beautiful poems in it could she be moved. clam down.
This book was given to him by the palace maid Qiuxiang because she loves reading poetry. Of course, she also knew that this was Qiuxiang's way of currying favor with her, but she couldn't help but be fascinated by the contents.
"Looking, looking, looking, deserted and deserted... How can I be alone in the dark when I guard the window? The parasol trees are drizzling, and at dusk,... This time, how can I be so sad... ..."
Reading these poems and listening to the drizzle outside the window, I couldn't help but feel gloomy. The melancholy poem responds to the scene outside the window, and the "sorrow" in the heart arises spontaneously.
How can the word 'sorrow' be so important?
When a girl is hiding in her boudoir, who can't help feeling sad? It's just inappropriate to talk about it.
"What a beautiful poem, much better than the Book of Songs. I wonder who the author is? Is his real name Mo Xuan?"
Yin Man searched his mind thousands of times, but he couldn't think of such a poet in Da Qin.
"He must be a person with a story! I really don't know what he has experienced." Yin Man said to himself, forgetting the worries in his heart, and gradually immersed himself in 'Mo Xuan'.
"How wonderful it would be to know who such a talented poet is?"
Soon, she asked her maid to fetch Qiuxiang, "Qiuxiang, where did you buy this collection of poems?"
Qiuxiang looked at the princess's eyes that were fascinated by poetry, smiled knowingly, and said, "It's the Dongjiao Paper Shop, no, it's called Mo Xuan Book Stall now."
Yes, as scholars' demand for paper increased day by day, Xiao He also increased sales, so that the small paper shop could no longer accommodate so many, so Xiao He separated the books and opened a bookstore by himself next to it. stall.
That day, Qiuxiang happened to be passing by and saw the poetry collection. Knowing that the princess liked poetry, she bought it.
"Who is the shopkeeper of the bookstall?" Yinman suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked calmly.
Qiuxiang thought for a while and said, "It seems to be called Xiao He."
"Xiao He? Who is he?"
Qiuxiang waved her hands apologetically and said, "My maid doesn't know either. I will definitely inquire about it for the princess next time I leave the palace."
Yin Man nodded, not forgetting to remind him, "When the time comes, may I ask who Xuan Mo is?"
Qiuxiang understood, but couldn't help but giggle.
"You servant girl, why are you laughing?" Yin Man was a little embarrassed by the laughter, and she quickly scolded him jokingly.
Qiuxiang covered her mouth and forced herself to suppress her smile.
"Nothing, nothing."
"Go about your business!" Yin Man didn't want to be ridiculed anymore and wanted to send Qiu Xiang away, but he didn't forget to say, "By the way, the palace has run out of rouge. You go out and buy some."
Qiuxiang understood and left quickly, covering her mouth.
She knew that the princess's rouge had not been used up yet, and there was still a lot of it. Didn't this tell her to ask about 'Mo Xuan'?
Ying Zheng didn't know what happened here. After leaving the back garden, he felt even more irritable, so he postponed the morning meeting and changed it to the afternoon meeting.
