In the quiet small garden, Su Lu and Xiao Cong were sitting against the wall.
In front of the two of them was a large water tank with several red fish swimming in it. Su Lu stared at the red fish, and flashed in his mind the senior officials of the Xuanfu he knew.
He Geng, the military governor, Fan Wenshao, the promotion officer, Lin Tong, who was named deputy military governor, Zhang Lu, who was transferred to the camp as a soldier, and Shao Ye, the governor who had been executed.
None of them look like spies.
Su Lu pondered for a moment and asked, "General, why don't you go back to the camp?"
Xiao Cong smiled bitterly: "I also want to go out, but..."
"What, Lao Xiao, you still want to go out and don't want to live anymore!"
An impatient female voice sounded, and a woman wearing a beige robe appeared opposite the water tank.
The woman was very fast, like a gust of wind, and appeared opposite the two of them.
The woman held a long spoon in her hand and pointed it at Xiao Cong. The spoon was greasy, as if she was still cooking.
Su Lu's eyes widened in surprise, "Holy shit, this light body skill is amazing, it's like teleportation."
Xiao Cong waved his hands repeatedly: "Mother Yan, don't misunderstand me. I'm just talking, I don't dare to put it into action, I don't dare to take action."
Su Lu was shocked, Xiao Cong, you are also a general after all. A general who has gone through countless battles and walked on the edge of life and death. To be so cowardly is not your style.
When Yan Niang heard Xiao Cong's soft words, her expression immediately changed from iceberg to charming as silk.
"Yeah, this is your robe, why don't you stay for dinner today? But let's make a deal first, you can't send the news about Lao Xiao back. There are many spies in the senior management of your Jiedu Mansion, it's too unsafe.
"
Su Lu couldn't help it anymore: "Madam, if you kidnap Xiao Shuai like this, the court will punish you for offending you."
"Bang"
Yan Niang smashed the spoon on the water tank.
The water flow in the large water tank suddenly spread out in all directions and hit the wall of the water tank.
"Wow"
The large, thick water tank exploded instantly.
The woman pointed the spoon at Su Lu with a sharp voice.
"Criminal? Why don't you ask him to try and see if I punish him or he punishes me?"
"I still want to stay for dinner, so I'll eat my shit and get out of here."
Xiao Cong hurriedly held the long ladle: "Don't worry, Yan Niang, calm down the fire, calm down the fire. Why won't you punish your sins? No one will punish your sins."
"General Su Lu is just worried that if I don't return to camp, my future will be affected. Yan Niang, you are overthinking."
Xiao Cong held Yan Niang's arm, comforted her softly, and left.
Su Lu was left with a confused look on his face. Damn it, you just left like this.
The water tank was broken and water flowed all over the floor. Most of Su Lu's robe was wet. Several red fish were lying in the water pool, their tails slapping against the puddle. It looked like they would not survive.
Yan Niang catches fire, which affects the fish in the tank.
Su Lu came out of the yard. Tudun'er and Niba, who were bragging on the roadside, looked at Su Lu in confusion.
"Master Hou, you wet your pants!"
"Master Hou, your pee is really... big enough."
Su Lu glared at the two of them angrily: "Go, accompany the eldest lady, give all the money, and I'll go back home and change clothes."
Su Lu returned home, changed his clothes, greeted a few guards and went out, going straight to the Nanguan Camp.
The siege of Beiyang has been resolved. He Geng and Lin Tong should have an idea by now as to what the next step of the camp's strategy will be.
At the gate of the camp, Guo Dashan was still on duty. When he saw Su Lu, Guo Dashan came over and said flatteringly.
"Master Marquis, if you are not at home, you will rest for a few more days, and you will be on duty so soon."
Su Lubian pointed at Guo Dashan: "Why, you still want me to get off my horse and check it for you."
Guo Dashan chuckled: "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare I? Lord Marquis, please."
"What are you doing to eat? Get out of the way quickly and let the Marquis get out of the way."
Guo Dashan roared at a group of guards, moved his horses away, and gave way to the gate.
Su Lu patted his horse and entered the marching camp. When he arrived in front of the Chinese army's tent, he was stopped by the Chinese army captain on duty.
"The camp is in an important place. General, please dismount."
The captain on duty commanded the guards to stop Su Lu and said with a gloomy face.
Su Lu dismounted, threw the reins to the guards behind him, told them to wait for him, and walked towards the central military tent.
"General, the Chinese military tent has been cordoned off and you cannot enter."
The captain on duty stopped Su Lu with a troubled look on his face.
Su Lu is from the fourth rank of General Mingwei. Apart from Lin Tong and He Geng, he is now the only one in Beiyang.
He was really a little worried about stopping Su Lu, but since he had the responsibility of guarding him, he didn't dare not stop him.
Su Lu glanced at the Chinese army's tent and felt something was wrong. I just led you to repel the Thule army yesterday. I won't be called for this military meeting today. This situation is a bit wrong.
"boom"
The sound of people neatly pulling out chairs and standing up came from the central military tent. It should be that the military meeting was over and the generals and captains of various ministries were leaving.
Sure enough, the curtain of the Chinese army tent was opened, and Su Ping was the first to walk out of the tent, cursing.
"My record is worse than that of Zhang Lu, yet I made him the governor."
Looking up and seeing Su Lu at the door, Su Ping's eyes lit up.
"Second brother, why are you here! Tell me why you let Zhang Lu become the military commander and put pressure on me and Fatty Erkun."
Su Lu glanced at Su Ping. Li Kun, Fatty Zhao, Dong Cheng, and He Congzhi came out of the tent one after another. When they saw Su Lu, they all came over happily.
Su Lu reprimanded Su Ping: "Okay, I feel wronged by being a captain. When will I be able to lead the troops and win the battle? I will personally find the commander-in-chief and ask you to ask for the military commander."
Su Ping chuckled and stopped talking.
Dong Cheng saw Su Lu and came over with a smile, "Master Marquis, why don't you rest more at home? There was a big battle last night and the soldiers were all still asleep."
Last time Dong Cheng wanted to go to Beijing to chase Su Lu, but he never expected to meet Xiao Cong, and was sent directly to the front line by Xiao Cong. This time when he saw Su Lu and thought of his niece, Dong Cheng's face was filled with smiles.
, if this marriage is consummated.
Su Lu felt that Dong Cheng's smile was a bit charming.
"I've had enough sleep, so come over and see how it goes. What's the next plan for the camp?"
Dong Cheng looked at the group of generals around him. Zhang Gu, who was still trying to squeeze in, waved his hand and said:
"Let's go to my camp and say that there are too many people here and it's inappropriate."
Zhang Gu couldn't squeeze through, and an annoyed voice sounded from the outer circle: "Master Marquis, don't leave yet. I know all the strategies, and it will be the same if you go to my camp."
Zhang Lu said at the end: "If you want to say it, go to my camp and tell me that Mr. Marquis is the commander-in-chief of our left route army."
Commander-in-Chief of the Left Route Army?
Su Lu glanced at Li Kun next to him, held a military meeting, and promoted me to the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army.
Li Kun whispered: "Second brother, we have a military meeting in camp and prepare to divide the troops into three groups and advance together. Second brother, you are the commander-in-chief of the left army and will have four thousand troops."
The commander-in-chief of the left army with four thousand soldiers?
