At the foot of Niutou Mountain to the west of Wutong Town, Hu Shichang had just finished sending the signal when Wu Guida arrived.
"I have seen the general!" Hu Shichang bowed his hands.
"What's the matter?" Uqaida asked.
"I wonder if the general plans to take the opportunity to attack the forward camp?" Hu Shichang asked.
"What kind of opportunity? Why a sneak attack? Is it okay to just attack the border with the army?" Ugeda looked at Hu Shichang in confusion.
He felt that Hu Shichang's move was unnecessary. It was clearly agreed that as long as the army crushed him, Xu Maofeng would definitely die. But at this time, this old boy wanted him to make a sneak attack. This would cause his army to lose combat power!
Hu Shichang naturally knew what Ugueda was thinking about, so he said directly: "Recently, I found something strange in the forward camp. I'm afraid they will play some dirty trick..."
Before Hu Shichang could finish his words, Wu Guaida waved his hand and interrupted: "Any dirty tricks are just paper in front of thousands of troops. As long as the general's military formation is formed, it will be the day when Xu Maofeng is beheaded." !”
"The general is naturally very powerful, but his subordinates are still a little worried." Hu Shichang persuaded him with his hands raised.
"Can you lead troops? Have you ever fought in a war? Do you understand the art of war?"
Wu Guaida's three questions in a row made Hu Shichang confused about how to answer. He was just a little worried, so he reported in advance. He never imagined that his good deed would actually turn out like this...
"Okay, you go back quickly now. After all, you now control the entire military crossing. If someone discovers that you are not in the military camp, that will be our biggest loss in Beimang!" Ugeda said.
"Yes, I understand. I hope the general will think twice about what I said and say goodbye!"
Watching Hu Shichang leave, Uqaida shook his head. Although he knew that Hu Shichang was thinking about Beimang, how could he, a recommender, understand this march and war!
…
Xu Mansion, Zheyang County
Seeing the last batch of gas masks being sent away, Xu Maocai sighed to the northern sky: "Brother, I hope you can survive this disaster safely!"
"Second Master, don't worry. According to the news sent over there, this mask is indeed not afraid of the poisonous gas in the swamp." Uncle Liu stood aside to comfort him.
Xu Maocai nodded: "Yes, I have to thank that brat for this. If it weren't for him, the Xu family would not be alive today!"
Uncle Liu and the others did not speak. Everyone agreed with this sentence. Although they had prepared backup plans, they could not live as freely as now...
As several people returned to the main hall, Xu Fan walked in with letters from Beijiang.
"Father, there is a letter from uncle." Xu Fan handed the translated content of the letter to Xu Maocai.
When he saw the content of the letter, Xu Maocai's face showed joy: "Okay, God really bless my Xu family!"
Uncle Liu took the letter from Xu Maocai's hand. After taking a look, his face also showed joy, and then he passed the letter around.
"The young master's talent is truly extraordinary. Not only did he make these people unable to understand the content of the letter, but he even had a unique way of contacting him. He is truly an expert!" Horseman Wang Zhuo praised.
"Yes, with this method, we won't be afraid of those people monitoring us in the future!" Guard Chen Qi agreed with a smile.
Although they are grooms and guards, they are the two commanders of the Forty-Eight Cloud Cavalry!
Just when everyone was sighing, Uncle Liu said: "Second Master, we have to guard against this Hu Shichang."
"Yes, although this person has discovered the clues, fortunately he doesn't know what this thing is used for." Xu Maocai nodded and said: "Fan'er, send a letter to your uncle and tell him to be careful of this person. If the other party has any For any move, please write to inquire in advance. Then tell him that the final gas mask will be delivered in two days."
"Yes, father." Xu Fan stood up and held his hands, but just as he was about to leave, Uncle Liu stepped forward to stop him.
"I wonder what's wrong with Uncle Liu?" Xu Fan asked.
"When you write the letter, Master, please bring another message, saying that everything is fine with the Zhou family, don't worry, if you enter the swamp, wait for the Xu family's special number!"
Hearing what Uncle Liu said, everyone in the hall understood what Uncle Liu was going to do!
"Uncle Liu, have you made a plan with Que'er?" Xu Maocai asked.
"Although the young master is talented, he is not decisive enough. He just wants to avoid disturbing the two young masters." Liu Bo said respectfully.
Xu Fan was stunned. He looked at his father. Although he didn't know what Uncle Liu was talking about, he could tell that it must be related to the killing!
Xu Maocai nodded to Xu Fan and motioned him to do as Uncle Liu said.
Xu Fan bowed his hands to Uncle Liu to show his understanding...
It seems that the added one seems ordinary, but it is completely different, because it is an iron order of the Xu family!
If an ordinary person summons Xu Maofeng's army with a signal, this army will not move. If it is specially made by the Xu family, then the army will attack with all its strength!
…
In the study, Xu Que carefully conceived the drawings, while Huang Qianying sat aside and watched carefully.
This may be the closest they have ever gotten to each other.
As for the parting kiss, it can’t be counted. After all, it was too sudden, and it was under an inexplicable situation...
Xu Que could smell the faint fragrance of Huang Qianying's body, hear her rhythmic breathing, and even vaguely feel her body temperature.
As a few strands of hair fell, Xu Que subconsciously raised his head and looked at Huang Qianying, and unfortunately, the two of them just looked at each other...
this……
"Cough, cough!" Huang Qianying quickly pretended to cough: "Hurry up and draw, I also want to see how this boat rows!"
"Ah, okay!" Xu Que responded, lowering his head with some reluctance and continuing to draw.
At this moment, the whole room was quiet and a pin drop could be heard, as if they were the only two people left in the world...
Xu Que thought that he was just a layman and could not be a saint at all. In other words, if a saint faced such a scene, he would probably not be as good as him!
His thoughts became more and more chaotic, so chaotic that he didn't even know he had made a mistake in his drawing. He even connected the two points of fan blades and steam activation without realizing it...
"Are you sure this is the case?" Huang Qianying didn't know what Xu Que was thinking, but after comparing the structure on the drawing with her mind, she found that there were some problems, but she didn't know what was wrong, so she asked decisively: " It’s connected here, can this thing still move?”
"ah?"
Xu Que quickly recovered his thoughts, and then realized that he had been distracted and made the wrong drawing!
"This thing is just a fixed bracket. It is used after the boat is parked or during maintenance. You don't need to think about it."
Xu Que felt that he couldn't say that he was distracted and drew the wrong picture, so he could only make up a more reliable lie at will.
"Oh, so that's it." Huang Qianying nodded thoughtfully: "What about this line and this thing?"
Seeing the two lines pointed by Huang Qianying, Xu Que's face was filled with black lines. He just had a little wrong idea, and as for drawing so many mistakes...
"This is the auxiliary line I made to analyze the steam engine. It is for correction. Yes, it is correction!"
Xu Que's face was not red and his heart was not beating. Anyway, the other party had never seen that kind of thing, so whatever he said was right.
Huang Qianying touched her chin and thought about it before nodding slightly. Although she had never seen how Xu Que drew pictures, this painting method was also very novel, so she did not doubt that there was anything wrong with the little man next to her.
As Xu Que carefully composed the picture again, the air suddenly became quiet again, and it also felt stuffy?
Huang Qianying raised her head gently, only to see a pair of eyes as clear and deep as the starry sky.
Xu Que didn't look at her, but was drawing pictures seriously. This feeling made Huang Qianying feel a little panicked.
She tried her best to suppress this emotion, trying to calm herself down, but her fingers were trembling a little, and they were beating mechanically on the table.
Xu Que frowned slightly and raised his head when he saw Huang Qianying's delicate fingers tapping the table rhythmically.
In an instant, the distance between their noses was enough to feel each other's breath.
Huang Qianying pursed her lips and thought, if this little man dares to kiss you, I will definitely slap you...
