Everyone Knows I’m a Good Man

Chapter 44

Ji Changze's life in the military camp was still very ordinary.

Because the military advisor was ill, some military affairs that needed to be handled by the military advisor were moved to his side. He handled military affairs in the camp every day.

Occasionally listen to the gossip next door.

I really don't blame him for listening to gossip. Who asked the general to put him next to him? His ears are so good.

From the gossip, he heard several important pieces of information.

For example, this military advisor is not actually the general's pupil. He is the general's cousin, that is, the child of the general's aunt.

It was just that his sister-in-law had offended the second prince, so he was punished, and the whole family was imprisoned. The child of the military nurse nanny happened to have a cold and passed away. She was a loyal servant, so she secretly separated her child with him when the house was ransacked. There was an exchange of military advisors, and then they carried him all the way to the general's mansion to seek shelter.

The second prince was powerful and still a prince, and the charges he was charged with were personally ordered by the Ministry of Punishment. The general's mother did not dare to take her nephew with her openly, so she could only give him the name of a book boy.

Ji Changze thought while folding his clothes, no wonder General Hou always refused to vote for the second prince no matter how he tried to recruit him.

The cousins ​​grew up together, and their relationship was naturally good. The cousin's whole family was killed by the second prince. General Hou's temperament would not allow him to join the second prince even if he died.

I can't blame him for dying so quickly.

But the second prince is also a badass. He killed his aunt and uncle, and he still wants him to seek refuge with him.

Thinking about it again, it seems understandable. After all, the other party is a child of the royal family, and he has always said, "If I want you to be born, you must be grateful, and if I want you to die, you must die non-stop."

Maybe in other people's eyes, since he didn't kill General Hou's biological parents, it doesn't count as a grudge.

Then this matter is very clear.

General Hou has a grudge against the second prince.

He also had a grudge against the second prince.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

This matter needs to be discussed.

Ji Changze rummaged through the military affairs and found a trick, adding something that could deceive the second prince.

Sure enough, that night, the military advisor who always checked again called Ji Changze to the general's tent.

That's right, the military advisor lives in the general's tent.

Externally, it is said that the military advisor is weak and afraid of the cold, but internally, it is actually that the military advisor has been assassinated before. After all, if he, the military advisor, dies, it will be easy for another person to replace him.

After that, the two slept in the same tent. They were cousins ​​who grew up together anyway.

The only downside might be that the general has to endure the heat.

In the camp, two scholars, dressed in tight clothes, knelt in front of the charcoal basin and talked politely.

Behind him, General Hou was shirtless and extremely hot. He hid far away from the charcoal basin. He fanned himself with a cattail leaf fan in his hand and glanced at Ji Changze warily from time to time.

Ji Changze turned a deaf ear to this and only stretched out his hand to warm himself by the fire with the military advisor while listening to what he said.

"Did you know that if you do this, you will offend the second prince?"

"Of course I know, but can't you see that the second prince came to offend us first?"

The military advisor raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Ji Changze seriously this time, with a smile on his pale face:

"It seems you know a lot of things."

Ji Changze also smiled at him: "You and the general have never concealed anything from me."

When the general who was fanning himself heard this, his sharp eyes suddenly fell on Ji Changze, and his hand moved towards the spear calmly.

Ji Changze didn't even look back: "General, don't worry, if I really had any plot against you two, you wouldn't be alive now."

Feeling that he had been insulted, General Hou suddenly grasped the spear and threw it directly towards Ji Changze.

Ji Changze didn't move, and even smiled a little, letting the penis pass by him and plunge into the ground in front of him.

The military advisor's eyes suddenly looked very different when he looked at Ji Changze.

A person who is not afraid of life and death is very terrifying.

Especially Ji Changze's indifferent attitude, which ordinary people would never be able to do in the face of life and death.

He asked: "Aren't you afraid of death? If the spear just moved a little further, you would be dead and dismembered."

Ji Changze smiled and turned his hand, letting the back of his hand warm up.

"I'm not afraid."

"My lord and I are sitting face to face. If the general's spear was aimed at me just now, as long as I lower my body slightly, the spear will fall on your lord. The general will not risk your life."

The military advisor smiled and waved his hand to his cousin behind Ji Changze who had an angry look on his face. Seeing that he was reluctant to retreat, he asked: "I can see that you are talented. Why don't you take the imperial examination instead?" Are you coming to the military camp?"

Ji Changze asked: "Sir, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Why don't you talk about both?"

"The lie is that the competition between princes in the court is becoming more and more intense. If you take the imperial examination at this time, I am afraid you will be forced to choose a camp. If you choose wrong, you will die, and if you choose right, you may not survive."

The military advisor nodded, and the smile on his pale face became more appreciative: "Your lie does sound very true."

"In this case, it is better to choose General Hou, who is wise and powerful. He is a straightforward man, has never lost a battle, and is never harsh to his subordinates. He is loyal and patriotic to his superiors. If I vote under the name of General Hou, it will be a good place."

General Hou was looking at Ji Changze warily, ready to go up and kill this guy as soon as his cousin told him.

He looked at his cousin with a smile and said: "Although this boy looks yin, he is really good at judging people. His lies are so true."

Ji Changze smiled slightly, picked up the tea on the table next to him and took a sip to moisten his throat before continuing:

"The truth is more true. My wife was kidnapped by the rebels, and my parents were waiting for a famous doctor to save her life. Even if I take the imperial examination now, it will take nine years to be a scholar, and it will take several more years to become an official in the court. Can speak well."

Ji Changze was very happy; "I can afford to wait, but my wife and parents cannot wait. It is better to go to the nearest general who wants to eliminate the rebels. You will be sick just looking at the military advisor. It would be better if you can get another doctor."

As he said that, he turned back and glanced at General Hou, who had a "I'm really awesome" face: "As for the general..."

Ji Changze came back to his senses and said to the military advisor who looked at him with a smile: "Although the general has never lost a battle, he is not very scheming, acts recklessly, does not know how to restrain himself from superiors, and never win over subordinates, so he is not a good candidate for refuge. "

Behind him, General Hou was listening happily and wanted to see how Ji Changze praised him: "..."

Ji Changze was still saying: "The general has force but no wisdom. If there is no military advisor to look after him, the grass on his grave may be three feet high."

"You fart!!"

General Hou's muscles bulged with anger. He took a step forward and said angrily: "When I die, someone will guard the tomb. How can there be grass growing on the tomb?"

Ji Changze raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and glanced at General Hou, who was angry about the grave grass and had completely missed the point. He looked at the military advisor again, sighed, and raised his glass with a little admiration:

"Thank you for your hard work, sir."

Being able to bring his cousin with strong limbs and simple mind along the way and secure his position as general, this military advisor is quite capable.

The military advisor's smile did not change, he also raised his glass and exchanged glasses with him in the distance: "It's a bit hard, but the general is also kind to me. You continue to talk."

Ji Changze took a sip of tea, ignoring General Hou's sha're:n gaze, and continued: "The situation in the imperial court is unstable now. If the general is like this without the military advisor, I am afraid it will be over sooner or later, and the military advisor is ill. In terms of both emotion and reason, I shouldn’t take refuge in this person, but..."

The military advisor imitated him and raised his eyebrows: "But?"

The scholar wearing a long gown knelt down beside the charcoal basin, with a shy smile on his fair and gentle face: "But I heard from the general last night that I would like to invite a famous doctor from Wuxian County for you..."

General Hou slammed the table angrily: "How dare you eavesdrop on the two of us?!"

"It's just that my hearing is better than that of ordinary people, and I live next door."

General Hou became even more arrogant: "Then haven't you heard everything we said in the past few days?! Why didn't you report it!!"

Ji Changze gave him a confused look, "I'm not a fool. If I tell you two that I know your secret, wouldn't I be asking for your own death?"

General Hou: "...Then tell us now."

"How can I gain your trust if I don't tell you?"

General Hou; "..."

He felt that his brain was not enough.

After going around for a long time, he finally came out and said, "Why didn't you want to gain trust before? Tell us earlier."

Ji Changze: "I didn't ask you before."

General Hou: "..."

He was going to be furious.

Seeing his cousin angrily slapping him with a fan, the military advisor not only wasn't angry, but actually laughed even harder.

"Do you know that scholars look down on each other? You are so smart, so you are not afraid that I will be jealous of your talent and kill you?"

"My lord will not."

Ji Changze also laughed: "My lord, you have a weak body. You may not say it, but you are actually very scared. If you die and the general has no one to protect you, the best result is to leave one life. Otherwise, you will naturally die."

"At this time, there is someone who can help the general like you. He doesn't have any financial background and can only rely on the general. It's too late for you to be happy. How can you harm me?"

He asked himself and answered: "How can I ensure that I will not harm the general after you leave? It's simple. After you and I have a conversation, you should already know my ability. If I really want to harm the general, I don't have to wait until today. Even if I really harm the general after you leave, to the general, it’s just the difference between dying early and dying late.”

After Ji Changze finished speaking, he slowly put the teacup back with a slight smile.

"The general is destined to die anyway. You have no other choice but to trust me."

General Hou behind him: "..."

What nonsense is this guy talking about.

Why is he certain to die? He's insane.

The military advisor listened to Ji Changze's words, and his laughter became louder and louder. Finally, he laughed until he coughed. He waved the general who wanted to help him away. While coughing, he looked up at Ji Changze with a smile on his face. "How can a small place like Hu County produce a person like you?"

"Okay, I promise you that your status in the army will be the same as mine in the future. A famous doctor can tell you. As for rescuing your wife, the rebels are raging, and now they are all in the northwest. It will take several months for the army to pass by. If you want to rescue your wife, It’s even more difficult to get down, it all depends on your ability.”

Ji Changze, who had always had a slight smile on his face, and his expressionless face showed a hint of joy. He stood up and saluted the military advisor.

"Thank you, sir. Don't worry, sir. Although the general is stupid, he is sincere. Nagasawa will not bother to harm him, and he will do his best in the future."

After saying that, he strolled to where General Hou kept his weapons, picked up a bow, and took a box of arrows and touched them.

"This is a good bow and arrow. Thank you, sir, for giving it to me for self-defense."

The military advisor nodded and smiled: "You're welcome."

The stupid General Hou: "...that's my bow."

Ji Changze pretended not to hear anything and went straight towards the curtain.

It wasn't until Ji Changze opened the curtain and went out that he looked at his cousin with a confused look on his face: "Yingrao, is this guy really trustworthy? I think his words are very rude. I'm afraid he has different intentions, so why not kill him? "

The military advisor shook his head, stood up and sighed: "If you use polite words, you will be wary. I have taught you several times, but you always can't remember it."

"The general must remember that his talents are never inferior to mine. In the future, I will transfer the affairs of the general to his hands. Many people in the court are watching you. It's okay that I am here now. If I am gone, I will have to rely on you." Got him."

"But he has only been in the military camp for a few days. Besides, I think that although this boy looks like a human, he is very evil. He smiles with his eyes, but he is very scary for no reason. His appearance is so good. He doesn’t look like a good person at first glance.”

The military advisor shook his head: "Don't worry about this, just remember to treat him as you would treat me."

General: "...Don't."

"want."

The military advisor's face was serious, and he even said sternly: "In short, you can't offend him and let him know your sincerity."

"But how can I let him know my sincerity? Yingrao, don't you really think this boy is too handsome? Wenwen is weak. I guess he can't even hold a bow. Even if he is really talented, he If he doesn’t know how to fight, I can crush him to death with just one finger.”

The military advisor listened quietly to what he said, and then reminded him: "Mr. Ji has very good ears, so he must have heard everything."

General Hou: "..."

He paused with a stiff expression for several seconds before suddenly speaking: "I think Mr. Ji is very talented, handsome, and has a good-looking figure. Although he is a little weak in literary skills, it is precisely because of his weak character that he can tell you at a glance. A person who knows a lot about kindness must not hold grudges.”

--Whoosh!

An arrow shot through the tent and hit General Hou's feet.

General Hou jumped away suddenly and immediately drew his sword to stand in front of the military advisor: "Who is it!!"

The military advisor was not surprised at all. He slowly stepped forward holding the hand stove and picked up the arrow.

"The general doesn't even recognize his own arrows."

Seeing him slowly taking down a piece of paper stuck on it, General Hou stepped forward cautiously: "It belongs to Mr. Ji? Can't he come directly if he has anything to say? He has to shoot arrows. By the way, isn't he a scholar? Why can you still shoot arrows?”

The military advisor smiled after taking a look at it, and handed it to General Hou for him to see: "Since Mr. Ji just asked for a bow and arrows, he was saying that he can shoot arrows. Can't the general understand this?"

General Hou; "..."

Really, he felt that it was not that he was stupid, but that these scholars were too smart.

It’s just one sentence, I have to hint and hint like this, don’t you feel tired?

The military advisor went out to ask someone to repair the camp tent.

General Hou complained in his heart for a long time before taking the piece of paper. He saw five big characters written on it, written in a cool and unrestrained way:

——It is magnanimous.
