Chapter 54 Nine Banners Camp
He Yan failed to worship Xiao Jue, but was pestered by Xiao Jue's nephew.
Cheng Lisu pulled He Yan to the room where he lived in the garrison. The room was naturally different from the shops where the new recruits lived, and it was a separate house. Although it was not luxuriously decorated, it was much better than the places where the new recruits lived.
There was even a tinted fragrance in the room. The one that was filled with fragrance was an exquisite fairy ornament. Seeing He Yan staring at him, Cheng Lisu explained: "This is a good thing I brought from the capital. My uncle doesn't allow me to order here. I'll order it secretly, don't tell him."
It's like a child doing bad things secretly on his back.
He Yan said in his heart, let alone Xiao Jue, she wouldn't let her do it even. It's summer, and the weather is so hot, so there is no need to panic about how much fragrance it is.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cheng Lisu misunderstood his meaning again and asked tentatively, "Do you like this very much? If you like it, I'll give it to you!" He stuffed the incense burner into He Yan's hand, "It's okay, we can afford it!"
He Yan put it back for him, "...Thank you, I have no place to put it."
Yes, Cheng Lisu thought for a while and nodded regretfully, "Let me go back and tell my uncle that he would change your room, just like me."
He Yan: "..."
It would be strange if Xiao Jue could agree! Cheng Lisu really did this, and she could call her Brother Cheng Lisu!
"By the way, you don't know who my uncle is, right? My uncle is the current governor of the Right Army, General Feng Yun, the second son of the second son of Xiao, your boss." Cheng Lisu finished speaking in one breath, and then went to see He Yan's face. Seeing that He Yan's expression was as normal, he said "Huh", "Why are you not surprised at all?"
Should she be surprised? He Yan said: "I think the young master is so handsome, unlike ordinary people. I guess the young master's uncle should be like this. Sure enough, if he has his uncle, he will have his nephew."
This pleased Cheng Lisu. He showed a shy smile, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "That's not the case. I'm far worse than my uncle. My uncle lives next door to me, but he's out now. Otherwise, I'll take you to see him."
He Yan said in his heart, there is no need.
"Come on, I'm ready to pour my tea." Cheng Lisu was so busy that he stuffed a cup of tea into He Yan's hands. "After drinking this cup of tea, we are just brothers!"
He Yan looked at the tea in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and put the tea back on the table.
Cheng Lisu was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Cheng, I think we shouldn't be called brothers. We are at the wrong age." He Yan said.
She and Xiao Jue are of the same generation, but Cheng Lisu is called Uncle Xiao Jue. If she and Cheng Lisu have a favor, wouldn’t they also call Uncle Xiao Jue in the future?
Can she let Xiao Jue take advantage of this? She thinks beautifully!
"Why are you the wrong generation?" Cheng Lisu was puzzled, "I am fifteen this year, and I heard from Teacher Liang that you are sixteen this year, and we are not much different."
"Your name is Xiao... the uncle of the governor, he is not old." He Yan said. Xiao Jue and he are only one year older than his previous life. Now he has just reached the crown. She asked, "Is he your uncle?"
"Well, we are related." Cheng Lisu explained very seriously.
It turned out that Cheng Lisu's mother, Mrs. Cheng, was a cousin and Xiao Jue. However, Mrs. Cheng and Xiao Jue were too old. When Xiao Jue was born, Mrs. Cheng was already married, and the siblings rarely interacted with each other. However, when Cheng Lisu grew up, she loved to stick to this uncle of the same age as hers.
He Yan thought, it seemed that he remembered that when he was in Xianchang Hall, a fat young man often came to find Xiao Jue, but he forgot whether he called Xiao Jue "uncle".
"My uncle is excellent in everything, and he is the best in his martial arts. With his face shining, others dare not call me a 'bad boy' again." Cheng Lisu was not ashamed when he talked about his nickname, "Now I am having a good relationship with you again, and you are as good as my uncle. I am so amazing!"
He Yan: "..." I don't know where to start with this amazingness.
Speaking of He Yan, Cheng Lisu thought of something again and asked her, "By the way, you are so outstanding, Brother He, what do you do at home?"
He didn't even drink the tea, but he actually called "Brother He". He Yan didn't know whether to answer his question first or correct his statement first. She said, "My family is an ordinary family."
Her look of not wanting to say much fell into Cheng Lisu's eyes, and Cheng Lisu said solemnly: "I understand, you experts like you are unwilling to disclose your whereabouts."
He Yanxin said, I'm afraid this child has a brain problem?
"You are so capable, why are you doing in Liangzhou Wei?" Cheng Lisu asked, "With your ability, why should you join the army?"
He Yan said to his nephew again: "A man should make achievements and have to be rewarded and built a house, marry a wife and have children, and this is not in vain."
My nephew is not as impulsive as my uncle. The young man with red lips and white teeth looked at her for a while and nodded and praised: "Your idea is very good, very... steadfast. But Brother He, is it too slow to join the army and make achievements? There is no war in recent years. It is said that heroes will come from troubled times. In our peaceful and prosperous times, you have nowhere to display your martial arts, and it is wasted."
He Yan: "..." This child is quite thoughtful.
"It's better to show you a clear way." Cheng Lisu leaned closer to her and whispered: "Do you know the Nanfu soldiers under my uncle?"
He Yan nodded: "I heard it." The Nanfu soldiers were established by General Xiao, and they were invincible and invincible.
"In the southern government troops, there is a charger of the Iron Cavalry team and the Nine Flags Camp."
He Yan, Jiuqiying, also knew that this was a confidant Xiao Jue trained for himself after taking over the Nanfu army. Most of them were raiding and charging, with strange means.
"This time my uncle came to Liangzhou Guard. In addition to other matters, he would also pick some people from this group of recruits and take them back to join the Jiuqi Camp."
He Yan was shocked, "Didn't Jiuqi Camp no longer accept people?"
"That is known to the outside world. What is the most rare thing in the world? It is talent. Everyone in the Jiuqi Camp is talented. Last time, a big brother in the camp was injured and broke his hand. He couldn't fight. Now he is an official in the court. So, to make achievements, get promoted and make money, you have to find the right place first. If you are so skilled and you are your own, you should go to Jiuqi Camp." The boy said slowly.
He Yan gradually put away his smile. After a moment, she frowned and said coldly: "Have you ever said anything to others just now?"
Her eyes were cold and Cheng Lisu was startled, and he stumbled: "No..."
"Then remember, you should not say this to both of you."
Cheng Lisu nodded subconsciously: "...Okay."
He Yan was satisfied, and suddenly bent his eyebrows and eyes again, and the corners of his lips were raised, "But what you said just now is right."
"Hey?" Cheng Lisu was stunned.
The fastest speed of promotion is second. She fought on the battlefield for meritorious achievements, and even if she was really promoted, she might not be able to contact the He family. It is different from Xiao Jue. General Feng Yun and General Feihong are mortal enemies, and just this can do countless articles.
What's more, it's much easier to inquire about the court affairs by Xiao Jue. She never thought about having any entanglement with Xiao Jue in her previous life, but now she has to rack her brains to be Xiao Jue's confidant. This is really incredible, but it's a coincidence.
He Yan drank the tea in the teacup in one sip, stood up and said, "I want to enter the Jiuqi Camp."
