Chapter 10 - The General Take The Initiative To Be Rob 10
Cai An was shouted at by Yan Jingze and stopped crying, but still couldn’t stop sobbing.
Yan Jingze: “…” It’s really irritating to the eyes.
“General Zhou, how…how…” After stopping his cries, Cai An suddenly remembered what happened in the past few days, his whole body stiffening.
The person in front of them, who is in close contact with their second young master, turned out to be General Zhou!
Yan Jingze said: “I was betrayed by Zhou Zhenrong two months ago and fell into an ambush. In desperation, I could only escape to the Rong and shaved off my beard to hide from those who were chasing me. I was seriously injured at that time, I don’t even have the strength to go back. I had gotten better after hiding left and right for two months.”
Yan Jingze said it very plainly but Cai An, a middle-aged man who has experienced many things, naturally knows how difficult it is for Yan Jingze to do that.
His tears fell again. He also gave himself a slap.
He actually misunderstood that General Zhou was a little white face, he really should have not!
General Zhou is such a person that was able to support both heaven and earth, how could he be a little white face!
General Zhou’s wounds are from constant battles! He is now weak because of serious injuries!
General Zhou was so badly injured and alone in the Rong’s land but he can still escape, it’s really admirable.
As for General Zhou and their second young master these days…
“General Zhou, you and second young master…” Cai An asked in a low voice. General Zhou suddenly became so close to second young master, did he have a reason?
Could it be that General Zhou suspected General Su, therefore, he wanted to take advantage of second young master to investigate something?
If so…although he works for Su Xingyin, General Zhou is the one who avenged the hatred of his parents, wife, and children. He is on General Zhou’s side!
Maybe this is why General Zhou revealed his identity to him! General Zhou trusts him!
He must live up to General Zhou’s trust. He’s willing to sacrifice his life for General Zhou!
Yan Jingze answered: “I fell in love with your second young master at first sight.”
Cai An, whose brain supplement was piling up: “Ah?”
Yan Jingze coughed lightly and said: “I haven’t married a wife and have children in all these years because I like men, but my vision is not low so I haven’t found anyone I like, until I met Axiu before.”
Cai An: “…” their second young master also seems to be like this too…
Yan Jingze added: “Although I met Axiu once 10 years ago, I haven’t seen him since then, there’s also you. At first I didn’t recognize you and didn’t know his identity, I just loved him, later…I didn’t expect him to be brother Su’s child.”
Yan Jingze mentioned later, he sighed —— coveting a nephew or something doesn’t seem so good.
Cai An was sad when he saw Yan Jingze like that, and quickly said: “General, though you are only 10 years older than second young master, you are still strong and young. You are a great match!”
“I fear that after AXiu knows my identity, he won’t want to be with me.” Yan Jingze continued, “So don’t tell him my identity yet, don’t tell anyone else either.”
Yan Jingze revealed his identity to Cai An because he didn’t want Cai An to find trouble with him again or do something privately.
He is not afraid of Zhang Erque, that guy can be fooled with just a few words, but Cai An is different.
If Cai An hates him, it’s enough for him to just put something in the medicine for him to drink.
And Su Xingyin’s side…If Cai An change his words, Su Xingyin’s impression of him may be completely different.
Naturally, the most important reason is, from the original owner’s memory, it can be seen that Cai An really respects the original owner.
It’s better for such a person to be his helper than to be his enemy.
“General Zhou, I will listen to you! I won’t reveal your identity!” Cai An said quickly, crying again.
General Zhou is not dead, that’s great.
The longevity tablet he set up at home was not in vain!
Cai An was very excited, crying nonstop. Yan Jingze felt a little uncomfortable seeing him like this.
The original owner is a good man but too bad he was killed.
“Don’t cry, they will be back soon.” Yan Jingze reached out and patted Cai An on the shoulder —— Cai An is still kneeling at the moment, lying in front of him crying.
“I……” Cai An’s words hadn’t been spoken yet when the door was opened.
Cai An’s approach before was obviously to send everyone away so he can talk to Yan Jingze alone. Those who went out to work specially slowed down, giving time for the two to talk.
However, they really can’t not return…They did pretty much everything so they have to come back.
Cai An and that Yan Jingze should have finished talking, right?
Cai An is always merciless when he speaks. They don’t know if that Yan Jingze was talking to tears now.
Jiu Jiu and the others were ready to see Yan Jingze’s red eyes twitching, but they didn’t expect that when they pushed the door in…
Yan Jingze is fine. Is that Cai An lying on the ground crying?
“What did you do to mister Cai?” Jiu Jiu looked at Yan Jingze cautiously.
“What can I do?” Yan Jingze was speechless, then he just lay back on the ground.
He is still weak!
As for Cai An, he wiped his tears and got up immediately. With red eyes, he said to Jiu Jiu: “Zhou……I’m fine, mister Yan did nothing to me! I just had a long chat with mister Yan about the Rong people, and I thought of my wife, children, and parents who had long since passed away.”
As long as Cai An talks about his family, he will cry easily. Everyone under Su Xingyin knew this.
Is he crying again?
But why did they always feel that something is wrong?
These people are a little suspicious.
Cai An glanced at Yan Jingze, who was already lying down. He doesn’t care about Jiu Jiu and the others, he gets up and sit in a corner. With his leg crossed, he started to think about things quietly.
The impact of what just happened on him was really big.
He didn’t expect……General Zhou actually likes men.
In this world, there are indeed men who naturally like men and only men. General Zhou should be one of them.
The general has always been alone all those years before, now with great difficulty, he has fallen in love with a person, how can he stop him?
Definitely not!
Fortunately, second young master also liked their general.
That said……With their second young master and general difference in seniority, General Su might not agree with them being together.
How can that be alright? Should he think of something for the general?
Wait a minute, he’s thinking a bit far, he should boil medicine for the general first!
Although Cai An also boiled medicine for Yan Jingze before, he didn’t pay much attention when he boiled the medicine. Not mentioning anything else, the wild ginseng he treasured, not even a root was put into the medicine.
But now……If it wasn’t for fear that Yan Jingze wouldn’t accept it, Cai An couldn’t wait to put the whole wild ginseng in it!
Not only that, this time Cai An has personally gone outside to bring back some snow to melt it and use it to boil the medicine.
Those soldiers, one by one, are dirty. When they wake up in the morning, he doesn’t know if they even wipe their hands and face with the snow…Is the snow they get clean?
How can he feed it to General Zhou!
Cai An took care of the medicine seriously. He also took out a packet of rock sugar, preparing to give it to Yan Jingze.
He likes to bring some rock sugar when he goes out. This is what a veteran told him, he said that it can save lives at a critical time.
Rock sugar is expensive so he was reluctant to eat it before, but how bitter is this medicine now! General can eat the rock sugar when taking medicine, it can also replenish his body!
Cai An followed Su Xingyin, at first, he was just an accountant. Later, he became a military advisor. Now he is one of Su Xingyin’s most important subordinates. Salary, rewards, and others, after some years, he has hundreds of tael.
He was alone with no hobbies such as viewing ancient books, calligraphy, qin, or buying antiques. His property is getting thicker and thicker. Old people also like to hide things on their body…
In fact, in addition to ginseng and rock sugar, he also brought some miscellaneous things like fried rice noodles.
He planned to take it out when they really needed it, so he didn’t take it out to eat before. Now he’s starting to think about what things Yan Jingze could have.
Cai An boiled the medicine, then gave it to Yan Jingze.
As soon as Yan Jingze smelled it, he smelled the scent of ginseng. Revealing his identity is really not wrong.
Yan Jingze took the medicine and took a sip, at this moment, Cai An took out another cloth bag and gave it to Yan Jingze: “General…no, mister, this is rock sugar. Mister can eat a few while taking medicine…”
There’s even rock sugar? Yan Jingze was a little surprised.
Then, he didn’t get to pick it up before the door was opened again. Su Moxiu is back.
“Cai An, what are you doing?” Today, Su Moxiu and Zhang Erque went to wait at the place where the sheep was caught yesterday. They didn’t see the sheep nor rabbit or anything, so they came back empty-handed.
Found nothing and afraid that Yan Jingze would be hungry…Su Moxiu, who was annoyed, wasn’t in a good mood. When he came back, he even saw Cai An leaning beside Yan Jingze.
Zhang Erque was not very friendly to Yan Jingze, Cai An is also the same.
It’s just that Cai An has always been tactful. After knowing his attitude, he shouldn’t do too much and it’s impossible for him to take Cai An, a scholar, to go hunting. Therefore, he only took Zhang Erque away.
As a result now…
Worried that Yan Jingze would be bullied, Su Moxiu quickly strode forward, his face full of anxiousness.
“Mister Cai boiled medicine for me.” Yan Jingze smiled at Su Moxiu.
Su Moxiu relaxed when he saw the medicine bowl, then he looked at the cloth bag Cai An gave Yan Jingze.
Yan Jingze opened the cloth bag, inside was an oiled paper bag. He opened the oil paper bag…there were some pieces of hard rock sugar in there: “Mister Cai said the medicine is bitter so he gave me some rock sugar to eat.” He didn’t want Su Moxiu to doubt him. That being the case, he should just make all things clear.
Cai An even gave Yan Jingze rock sugar? Su Moxiu frowned and looked at Cai An.
Others were equally puzzled — Why is mister Cai suddenly being so nice to Yan Jingze?
Yan Jingze smiled and said: “I discussed some knowledge with mister Cai, mister Cai just admires me very much.”
Su Moxiu didn’t quite believe it. With Cai An’s character, it’s unlikely for him to just discuss knowledge with Yan Jingze. He shouldn’t…take a fancy to Yan Jingze, right?
Yan Jingze said: “We discussed the《Enemies Control Book》left by General Li Ji from the previous dynasty. I also told him something about the Rong people.”
Yan Jingze smiled and started to chat with Su Moxiu after he said that.
He has the original owner’s memories and with his past transmigration, he has learned countless things. He was once the emperor and the zhuang yuan1The champion for the palace examination, his words are naturally reasonable and rational.
It was so much so that besides Su Moxiu and Cai An, everyone else was also stunned speechless.
After that, even Cai An couldn’t understand anything —— He is an expert at calculating accounts, he also knows something about arranging troops and the like, but he has only read the four books and five classics briefly. He was even more ignorant about qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Yan Jingze is different from them. No matter which field, he could open his mouth.
As expected of General Zhou, he knows so much! Cai An admires Yan Jingze even more.
Su Moxiu’s eyes become brighter and brighter.
The person he likes is so amazing!
This person must be hidden…Su Moxiu turned his body sideways, blocking Cai An’s view of Yan Jingze.
Yan Jingze noticed this and smiled at Su Moxiu.
Su Moxiu’s face turn dark and red: “I’ll open the hazelnuts for you!”
The hazelnuts he brought back the night before were left uneaten, now it should be time to eat it.
“Okay.” Yan Jingze answered.
Su Moxiu cracks open the hazelnuts. After taking it out, he gave it to Yan Jingze.
“If you eat, I’ll eat. If you don’t eat, I won’t either.” Said Yan Jingze.
Su Moxiu’s heart turns sweet when he hears the words. Even if they divided the hazelnuts and didn’t have a lot, it’s also particularly sweet.
Cai An eagerly sent his hazelnuts over: “Second young master, mister Yan, I can’t finish eating…”
“Just this much to eat and you can’t finish it.” Su Moxiu frowned again. He looked at Cai An suspiciously.
Cai An, who realized something: “…” second young master, you really misunderstood!
“Old Cai, if you can’t finish it, give it to me!” Zhang Erque shouted.
Cai An glanced at Zhang Erque. With a cold ‘heh’, he went to the corner with his hazelnuts.
He’s still hungry! He won’t give Zhang Erque anything!
Zhang Erque had already eaten up the hazelnuts he had been allocated. Bored, he said to Yan Jingze: “I didn’t expect you to be a scholar, able to talk about those semi-incomprehensible things.”
“I learn a bit.” Yan Jingze answered.
“Let me tell you, learning these is useless at critical moments! If you don’t learn these and change it to martial arts, you wouldn’t be like this at all!” Zhang Erque said. Where they are at, it’s no use reading those half-hearted books. It’s not as good as practicing martial arts like the General!
Yan Jingze replied: “Not necessarily.”
“How do you know? If something like yours happened to me, I must destroyed all those Rong people!” Said Zhang Erque.
Yan Jingze: “…”
“What? Don’t believe me? I can beat ten of you alone!” Zhang Erque patted his thick arm.
“If I wasn’t injured, you can’t beat me.” Said Yan Jingze.
Zhang Erque’s eyes widened like copper bells: “You don’t blush when talking big at all? Do you know, lao tzu can execute a lightning raid on the Rong people! If you can beat me…I……I will eat ten catties of shell hazelnuts!”
Yan Jingze: “It’s okay to fight, you don’t need to eat the hazelnuts…”
“Have to! When the time we spar comes! If you lose, just promise me one thing!” Zhang Erque said loudly.
Cai An: “…” Erque doesn’t want his teeth anymore, or he just doesn’t want his stomach anymore?
Su Moxiu was a little anxious: “Zhang Erque, if you want to spar, come at me!”
Zhang Erque is one of the most skilled people under his father, how can Yan Jingze compete with him? Even he can’t beat Zhang Erque!
The person he likes is good, it’s just……he’s a bit of a big talker.
But it’s all because of Zhang Erque’s provocation!
Su Moxiu added: “Nevermind, I am a scholar, I won’t fight you…How about this, my brother will do it!” His elder brother abandoned martial arts then failed studying, after retraining, though painful, his martial arts are very good under his father’s hand. That’s why, his brother should be able to tie with Zhang Erque.
“Ok!” Zhang Erque agreed without hesitation.
Su Moxiu breathed a sigh of relief, then he showed a reassuring smile toward Yan Jingze.
Yan Jingze: “…” he won’t get to see Erque eat shell hazelnuts…1The champion for the palace examination
