But only a little.
But because of his age, if he really kept arguing with his juniors, he would really lose his grace, so he calmed down and said something casually.
"You are old and useless. The world will still belong to you young people in the future."
After saying this, he left without looking back. Looking at his back, Gu Shaoyu spent a lot of effort to calm down.
He could tolerate it when they didn't meet, but when they met, the hatred in his heart became a little uncontrollable. Du Jingyi patted his back and said softly to comfort him.
"Sooner or later, there will be a day when they pay the price. General, don't be too sad."
Gu Shaoyu didn't speak, he just glanced back at Du Jingyi, and many words were lost in the warmth held by his hands.
Throughout September, there was a sense of calm before the stormy waves.
Some are ready to go, some are unaware, and in this troubled time, the only one who is relatively happy is probably Luo Yuan.
Because he finally got some tasks, and now he was disguised as someone else and was responsible for keeping an eye on the Tong family.
Du Jingyi didn't trust the Tong family. She came to the conclusion after she transformed into Yan Zhiqing and had a personal chat with them. If she wanted to prevent outsiders from seeing their plans, she wanted to kick the Tong family out of the chess game now.
Although the Su family has this relationship with them, so they won't do anything random, but the Su family's business methods are decent and good, unlike the Tong family, which is all underhanded.
Therefore, Du Jingyi still had to be careful. Don't let them charge in the front, only to be disturbed by the Tong family in the rear. That would be very annoying.
Therefore, Du Jingyi was serious and serious when handing over this task.
Luo Yuan felt grateful for being able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, so even if he was doing some of the most basic monitoring duties, he still completed them meticulously and conscientiously.
Du Jingyi's intuition, coupled with Luo Yuan's careful investigation, really allowed them to catch the Tong family's sore foot. They were secretly investigating Yan Zhiqing's identity, and they were vaguely connected to Sui'an City. .
However, they did not expect Yan Zhiqing to be Du Jingyi, but thought that Yan Zhiqing was from the East Palace.
Tong's study room.
At this moment, Luo Yuan was slowing down his breathing and acting like a gentleman, listening to the words of the Tong family and his son.
"This means that Qing Zhi didn't take care of it long ago, but he didn't take care of it later, so he got stuck in the East Palace. He just attacked Qifang. Now he comes to stab him. Could it be that he is actually from the East Palace, but he was placed in the East Palace a few years ago? He is from Jinling City, otherwise how can we explain that his background is so difficult to check?"
Erlang Tong has some brains, but not much.
After guessing, I only guessed part of it, but the Tong family leader had other ideas.
"I don't know. I always feel that Yan Zhiqing's powdery smell is too strong. Can such a pink-haired and oily boy catch the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince? Maybe, maybe he has another identity!"
Luo Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the gloomy face of the Tong Family Master in the dark. He was somewhat impressed. But it was no wonder that anyone who could gain some fame in Jinling City would not be a weakling.
However, the identity of their general's wife cannot be exposed at this time, otherwise it will cause some trouble, which will affect the overall situation of the general.
Therefore, while the father and son were still guessing at Yan Zhiqing in the study, he couldn't help but repeat his old trick and quietly drugged their tea.
This medicine was specially formulated by their military doctor. It can bring down even the most powerful war horse of Dai Jin, let alone the father and son of the Tong family.
So when he left, he was light and airy, but the two Tong family members were not in the mood to think about other things. They could only collapse on the bed and the stench continued.
In the evening, when Du Jingyi listened to Luo Yuan's reply, he couldn't help laughing.
"Although Lieutenant General Luo is a bit excessive, it is still a good way to disrupt their position. Thank you very much."
"Madam, you're so polite. What's the point of this trick? When we fought against Dajin in Cezhou, it was so exciting to raise the sword and drop it. If madam hadn't told me, Luo Yuan would have gone down and killed them. It’s safe, so no one else can find out what happened.”
Luo Yuan's way of solving the problem is a bit bloody.
After all, the battlefield he has been facing is either you die or I live, so for someone who may be aware of his own secret, it is safest to die completely.
As for Du Jingyi's business career, she had some deceptive tactics, and she never denied that she was capable of calculations. However, compared to Luo Yuan, who would kill two people if he raised the knife and dropped it, Du Jingyi felt that the Tong family's father and son's crime would not lead to death.
Therefore, I still disagree with Luo Yuan's approach on this point.
But she is not an ignorant person, so her stance is different and the world she lives in is different. It does not mean that one is absolutely correct or the other is absolutely wrong.
"Vice General Luo, thank you for your hard work. In a few days, there should be news from Sui'an City. Even if the Tong family notices something and sees the fate of Qifang, they don't dare to investigate further. Therefore, we can stay here for the time being. Let it go."
Then, Du Jingyi said with a serious expression.
"The skeletons of my grandfather and uncle are still in the altar. When the time comes to break the altar and invite their spirits back, I think it would be better to use red silk embroidered with swastika patterns, but it is a little inconvenient for me to go out now. , I would also like to trouble Deputy General Luo to go to Linggui Temple and ask the abbot to help bring some blessings."
According to the rules of the Daxing Dynasty, those who died and were buried with honors had to use red silk with a swastika pattern as a lining. Now that Marshal Gu and others were already skeletons, it was impossible to wear them, but they were wrapped in red silk. It's quite reasonable.
So Luo Yuan took over the errand boy without hesitation and said bluntly.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely take care of it."
Du Jingyi naturally had no fault with Luo Yuan's abilities, but she felt a little sorry that such a powerful lieutenant always did some simple errands for her.
Although Luo Yuan has a rough temper, it doesn't mean that he can't watch his words. He quickly saw a little guilt in Du Jingyi's eyes, understood it immediately, and explained with a smile.
"My life has been saved several times by the generals of the Gu family on the battlefield, so it is my blessing to do something for them that I can do. So madam, please don't worry about these little things. Wait until you take care of those in the seventh room who should After dragging down those damned people, I have to give the general a chance. If I don’t stab them with three knives and six holes, it’s really hard to let go of the hatred in my heart!”
He gritted his teeth as he spoke, and Du Jingyi nodded firmly and agreed to the matter!
