Qin Mubai returned to the barracks and began to take care of some military affairs. Prior to this, the account left by Li Ke became the handsome account of his office. The subordinates of the former Captain Jiangzhou Prefecture, the two Captain Guoyi, Chang Shi, Sima, the brigade commander, and the various Cao soldiers all waited for him to approve some notes, and the day's affairs were counted as over.

For the long time, strong dragons do not crush ground snakes, but they have power in their hands. Qin Mubai, a big man sent by the emperor, "cleaned up" Ma Kun before he even took a shot. Naturally, these people under his hands were a little scared and afraid to make trouble. Not to mention treating Qin Mubai, it was any one of the hundred ordinary soldiers. The officials of Jiangzhou Mansion were also waiting like uncles, not daring to neglect.

Relief and repair of levees and dams are still going on. The money, goods, food and grass that enter and leave the army every day are not a few of them worth tens of thousands of dollars. The stroke of Qin Mubai’s pen may be related to the income of tens of thousands of dollars. support. The soldiers in the mansion are ordinary farmers without salary. After working hard to fight floods and rescue disasters, who doesn't want some benefits? In addition, the officials and generals in these places usually embezzle some military supplies occasionally, and it is common for small damages to the public and personal gains. Qin Mubai understood the thoughts of these people, so he didn't take many things that mattered more seriously, leaving some convenience for them, which naturally made them convinced and willing.

As a result, these officers and generals are both awed and respectful to Qin Mubai and somewhat grateful, so they get along fairly well.

It took more than half an hour to deal with the military affairs. After the completion, the officers and generals paid goodbye to their accounts and went back to rest. Qin Mubai guessed that the people who went to the county town to buy wine and food for Li Ke and Gao Yang should also be back, and he should go with them for a drink.

"Anyway, Princess Gao Yang came because of me, and out of basic politeness, I shouldn’t avoid her. Besides, she’s doing this now, and I do have some responsibility, let alone her. Leave her alone when you are in distress and need me most..."

Thinking of this, Qin Mubai's heart is stuck: Is it possible that I still have to be "responsible" to her? It seems that nothing has developed between us, she is at best just a kid who loves to fool around... Forget it, don't think about it, solving the immediate trouble is a top priority.

Because of his special status, Qin Mubai is completely free to enter and exit the military garrison, and is not restricted by military regulations of any local government. After cleaning up, he was about to leave Juntun, when a small **** of Baiqi came to report that there was a visitor. The visitor claimed to be the official in the palace of King Jiangxia.

"Please." Qin Mubai wondered: What did King Jiang Xia send someone to? After a few days, he should have been to Chang'an and came back. I don’t know how he went to the emperor’s place...

A middle-aged man entered the handsome account, he politely bowed his hands, holding an apricot invitation for the royal family, and said: "General Qin, this is an invitation from my prince. The 16th of this month is the birthday of the prince, and the generals are invited to have a banquet at the mansion. Please take the time from your busy schedule to go there, and don’t hold back."

Qin Mubai took a look at the invitation and said, "I don't know, who else did the prince invite?"

The man replied: "Returning to the words of General Qin, the princes of the four states of Jin, Union, Jiang, and Pu, who are rank 6 and above, all distributed invitations. The prince said, this time it is called birthday, but it is really to be out of the crowd. A colleague who is happy with words, does not accept gifts or hold a banquet, it is like a gathering of poets and friends as a writer's banquet. The prince has repeatedly commanded his humble position and be sure to invite General Qin to go. Please do not refuse the army!"

"Okay, I understand." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, "The prince is elegant and respectable, and Qin always respects the prince. Fortunately, Qin is still in Jiangzhou at this moment, so he has this rare opportunity to visit him. A gift of refusal? Don't worry, Qin will definitely go to the banquet on time!"

"So thank you the general!" The man saluted with gratitude, "The general is very busy, and he dare not interrupt his humble duty, please leave."

"Send off guests."

After thinking about the well-made invitation for a moment, Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile, and secretly said: Li Daozong was a little bit interesting. He took advantage of his birthday to banquet the officials of the four states, but emphasized that he would not accept gifts. Does this mean that he is going to "change his mind and be a new man"? It seems that he was also frightened by this corruption case, and began to curb his old problems of greed for money, and took the opportunity to declare that he was not accepting gifts or bribes. Seeing him entertain with such fanfare, it is estimated that the emperor did not give him any big punishment, otherwise, where would he dare to act in such a high profile?

It seems that the outcome of the matter is not too bad, at least the emperor did not break his face with Li Daozong. This is undoubtedly good news.

I understood these Qin Mubai's mood a lot easier, so he set off to the small wood house. If he told Li Ke this news, he would be happy too.

Qin Mubai|Bringing three to five confidants and Baiqi to leave the military village, naturally no one dared to ask more. When I reached the edge of the woods, a figure jumped down from the tree beside me.

Chen Yan.

"I knew you would come." Chen Yan looked at Qin Mubai with a smile, as if she had something to say. The few pawns flashed far away wittily, but did not dare to eavesdrop on the "whispering" between her and Qin Mubai.

"Aren't you going to pay homage to Zhu Chengwen, you didn't leave?" Qin Mubai said, "It seems that something has happened to me."

"Nothing serious." Chen Yan's expression was calm, but her eyes showed a little joke, "I'm just a little curious, you and that stubborn little princess... seem to have a very unusual relationship?"

"It's just a friend." Qin Mubai smiled, "You are waiting for me just to inquire about this? Then I will be a little strange, this is not your usual style."

"It’s nothing strange, it’s because you don’t know me." Chen Yan said, "When I treat my relatives and friends, I will care more than anyone, even surpassing myself. I don’t know what you think of me. , But at the moment I have regarded you as my friend. I just want to remind you that that little princess is not suitable for you. I can see that she is an expert at making troubles, and you will get angry sooner or later if you get close to her. I say Do this, you decide for yourself."

"Thanks a lot." Qin Mubai didn't want to say more. Chen Yan is indeed a person who can do what she says and has a clear love and hate. She never reveals her thoughts directly, her feelings are deep, and she always feels sensible to cold. But if she is sensual once in a while, she is really charming.

Just like now. Qin Mubai felt very good when she said "I have regarded you as my friend". He was thinking that if this frosty woman was gentle, it would be more deadly than her sword.

"There is one more thing." Chen Yan said, "In a few days it will be the birthday of King Jiang Xia. I will go to his house to celebrate his birthday. I want to ask you if you intend to go with me? I didn't. In other words, I can see that King Jiang Xia is very interested in you and highly valued. You two are like the same kind of people, and should be able to agree with each other. Multiple friends is not a bad thing."

"It's a coincidence. I just received the invitation from the prince. I will go." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "How will we go together then?"

"Farewell to the palace." Chen Yan didn't refuse but just smiled slightly, and after she said she clasped the sword and fists in both hands, "Farewell first."

"It's getting late, why bother to leave?" Qin Mubai said, "There are wine and vegetables in the cabin, why not come and have a drink? I will send you a cart and horse later."

"No, I'm not that expensive." Chen Yan smiled slightly, "Li Ke, little princess, I am not the same with them. If you don't talk too much, you won't be disappointed. You go, see you in the palace."

"Okay, there will be a period later."

Chen Yan is gone, unrestrained and heroic, strode forward without looking back, and quickly disappeared into the night-filled mountains.

"A woman who is strong on the outside and soft on the inside..." Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, "What a unique woman, interesting!"

In the small wooden house, the little **** who went to the county town to buy wine and vegetables has already returned, and has cleaned up the wooden house, barely able to live in it.

Princess Goyang walked around inside and outside the house where she was fidgeting, standing on tiptoes from time to time and looking towards the edge of the woods, muttering: "The real food is cold and won’t come... Urge your general!"

"Forget it, little girl!" Li Ke said with a smile, "It's only a while since you haven't seen anyone, so you're so anxious. Qin Mubai is a person who knows priorities, and he must do what he says. The reason why he hasn't He must come because there are important things. Since he said he will come, he will definitely come."

"I know!" Princess Gao Yang cast a glance at Li Ke, whispering: "I'm just...seeing that the food is going to be cold, and it will hurt my stomach if I eat it!"

"Haha! Good excuse, good excuse!" Li Ke laughed.

"Three brothers, you badass!"

The two brothers and sisters were fighting, Qin Mubai's voice suddenly rang outside the door: "Why, it seems that someone is talking bad about me from behind?"

"Look, here comes!" Li Ke smiled, "No one said bad things, only people who can't wait anymore and scold you a few words."

"Sorry, there are many military affairs and I can't be absent. I am late." Qin Mubai smiled apologetically and said, "His Royal Highness, you won't mind the poor food in this remote place, right?"

Princess Gao Yang laughed: "I'm hungry! Whatever you eat when you are hungry is delicious! Besides, the third brother can eat and you can eat, why can't I eat?"

"Then don't compare with us." Li Ke smiled, "The two or three months that Mu Bai and I were here, the food and accommodation were the same as those of ordinary soldiers, and I have long been used to this kind of life. . Don’t underestimate the white sliced ​​chicken, steamed fish and stewed lamb belly on this table today. This is already a feast for the tooth-fighting festival for us!"

"Ah, do you have such suffering?" The princess Gao Yang, who has been pampered since childhood, looked around Li Ke and Qin Mubai in surprise, and finally fixed her eyes on Qin Mubai's face, and said distressedly, "Really thin Ah, it's dark! Hurry up, hurry up and sit down and eat more! When you return to Chang'an, I will ask Yuchu to cook the best and most supplementary meals for you every day!"

"Uh...ok." Qin Mubai looked at Li Ke and sat down with an awkward smile.

Li Ke sighed and said: "Sad, sad! I have been someone's brother for more than ten years, and it seems that I haven't been cared about by her like this! Being an older brother is worthless!"

"Brother Brother, you badass!!" Princess Gao Yang cursed in a low voice, and first put a large piece of fish into Li Ke's bowl, "Is it all right now? Eat it! Third Brother is really black. If you lose weight, you have to eat more, and your face will be more handsome when you look better!"

Qin Mubai and Li Ke laughed loudly together, and Princess Gao Yang waved in embarrassment: "Don't laugh! Don't laugh! Eat, what are you laughing! How do you two big men look like children?—— Eat!"

"Okay, okay, eat!"

At this moment, Qin Mubai and Li Ke laughed to the point of tears.
