Xiao An was invited into the big tent, and only brought his master Leng Wuwu with him, while the deputy general Zhang Cheng followed the soldiers to rest outside.
King Ji has already ordered to go to nearby villages to buy pigs and sheep to entertain reinforcements.
Xiao An looked at the layout in the big tent, and he couldn't figure it out. Who was the prince? Why was the layout so simple? It was not even as good as his own military tent.
Does this mean that King Ji is frugal and low-key? Or is Anyu Kingdom too poor?
Before coming here, I had thought about what to say, how to test, and what questions to ask, but now that I actually saw someone, Xiao An couldn't say anything.
After looking around, their eyes fell on the man sitting at the top. This man was their father!
"Is your injury not serious? If not, can we let our army doctor take a look?" Xiao An suddenly noticed that the area on his father's body that had been bandaged was bleeding, and asked quickly.
He Zexu smiled and waved his hand: "No, thank you General An for your kindness. Fortunately, the general and his soldiers came to help today. Otherwise, I and all the soldiers may have died in the battle."
Such a great favor, but I still don’t know which country’s general my little brother is.”
I asked before, but the deputy general only said that this was their General An, and said nothing else.
Regarding this question, Xiao An knew that since he took action now, it was impossible for the other party not to ask.
He raised his hands and cupped his fists at He Zexu and said: "Prince Ji may not believe it. The reason why I came to help you is because I happened to pass by. I really couldn't see their arrogance, so I couldn't help it."
Teach them a lesson.
As the saying goes, it's not necessary to know each other before we meet. It's actually hard to tell our origins, and I don't want to lie to you, Your Majesty, so can you stop asking this question?"
In the big tent, Xiao An was only with his master and the two of them.
However, there were several people on King Ji's side. Hearing his response, King Ji and the lieutenants and cronies around him were very surprised.
They really don’t understand why it’s so hard to tell the origins and identities of these people?
There are thousands of soldiers and horses in the group, not just a few or dozens. If we don't tell them now, if they want to know, they can find out soon.
What's more, didn't he tell this young general that his surname was An?
He Zexu and others analyzed in their minds that most of these people should be soldiers and horses of Mingli Kingdom. Anyway, they definitely cannot be from Guyan Kingdom and Gaoqiu Kingdom. The former has Mingli Kingdom sandwiched between them, and the latter
It is even more impossible. No matter how fierce the struggle for power in the Ming Dynasty is, they would not dare to help other countries kill their own soldiers in such a big way!
"I am presumptuous. It's not convenient for General An to say it, so don't say it. Come, please drink tea." He Zexu didn't feel that the young general was naive or rude at all.
Since it's not convenient to say it, there must be a reason why it's not convenient for someone to say it.
If you insist on asking, he is being rude.
I have had contact with such a young and half-grown child before, but the person in front of me, even though he is young, cannot treat the other person as a child.
To be able to lead troops to fight at such a young age is really amazing and extraordinary.
He Zexu couldn't help but think of when he was this age, that is, when he was practicing kung fu hard in the palace and studying poetry and books. If compared like this, he was really not as good as the young general in front of him.
Xiao An nodded, picked up the tea cup at hand, and glanced at the master who had been staying away from the incident.
Hey, in this situation, Master, shouldn't you say something to ease the awkward atmosphere?
Leng Wuyi saw what his apprentice meant, but still pretended to be confused and poured himself tea.
"Master, how do you like this tea?" Xiao An asked angrily.
Leng Wuyi nodded: "It's okay." Xiao An choked up with just two words.
You came here on your own initiative. Aren't you pretty clever on weekdays? Aren't you quite capable? What's wrong now? Are you stuck? Are you embarrassed?
Xiao An finally realized that it was impossible to expect Master to open his mouth and adjust the atmosphere.
Fortunately, at this time, soldiers came in to announce that the food and wine were ready.
He Zexu nodded and ordered the food and wine to be placed on the table.
Soon, a large round table was placed in the big tent, and the food and drinks were also served.
In order to get here as early as possible, Xiao An's journey for more than three days was very hard. He didn't eat well or rest well. There was another fierce fight today, and he was already hungry.
As soon as King Ji greeted him, he and his master came forward and took their seats without being polite.
The dishes on the table include fish, meat, and rabbit.
It didn't look very good, but it smelled good. Xiao An took a sip and it tasted pretty good.
"General An, would you like two drinks?" He Zexu asked.
"No, if the prince wants to have a drinking companion, he can drink with my master. He can drink well." Xiao An just didn't want his master to drink and eat without any distractions.
Hearing that Leng Wuyi was Xiao An's master, He Zexu toasted him with a glass of wine, and then several lieutenants took turns to toast him.
Leng Wuyi has a good capacity for drinking, so he doesn't refuse anyone who comes.
"King Ji, you have many injuries on your body, why don't you stop drinking?" Xiao An couldn't help but said.
After hearing this, several lieutenants immediately looked at the prince. Does General An really care about the prince?
"Disciple, being drunk can be harmful to your health. Why do you only care about Prince Ji? Come and buy a few drinks for me." Leng Wuyi frowned.
Xiao An heard it. Master did this on purpose. However, Master was too bad. He didn't say anything before when he should have said something to ease the atmosphere. Now he didn't need to say anything, but he came to cause trouble again!
This is not a help, it is a disservice!
"Master, I am still a child and cannot drink alcohol." Xiao An immediately refused.
I begged my mother to agree to come here, but I had something urgent to do. How could I drink? Drinking would mess up things.
If you get drunk, talk nonsense, and tell things about your mother and younger brothers and sisters, you will cause trouble for your mother.
"It is said that a tiger father has no son. General An is so powerful, but a general's family?" He Zexu didn't know why he was like this. He knew that others didn't want to reveal his identity, but he still wanted to know.
Xiao An didn't expect that his father would ask such a question. He turned around and saw the smile on his master's face.
"Your Majesty is right or not. My father is indeed a military general, but he doesn't seem to be as powerful as me." Xiao An thought for a moment, looked into his father's eyes and responded.
Ahem, Xiao An's words made Leng Wuwu, who was drinking, choke on his wine.
Xiao An heard the master's cough, looked over, and understood the meaning of the master's eyes. He didn't feel embarrassed at all, but raised his head. Does that mean that I said something wrong?
If I don't bring troops to help this apprentice, this father will be doomed!
He Zexu's lieutenant general and his cronies exchanged glances with each other and told each other to remember what the major general just said. His father was also a military general. Wouldn't that be easier to find out...
