Chapter 485: The General's Wife Strengthens the Wife's Responsibility (13)

"Where is the Madam?" Today, they were harassed by the Japanese pirates again. Jiang Qi was even more eager to get rid of them. This time, he couldn't wait to find Shi Yihao to discuss a foolproof plan with her.

As soon as he entered the tent, Cai Lian mocked him, "What's wrong? Are you thinking of our Madam now? If I were the Madam, my heart would be broken by you, General. Even if she was your biological sister, there would be no reason for me to cling to her every day. Your cousin is not afraid of people gossiping behind her back."

She had seen and remembered everything that had happened in the past few days. She didn't know what the general was thinking. He ignored his wife, who was both civil and military, and chose to flirt with his cousin, ruining his reputation.

If it were usual, she might not dare to speak out, but today Chen Bi provoked the Madam again, and she, as an outsider, could no longer tolerate it.

Jiang Qi looked uneasy, but didn't want to argue with her, so he hurried out. Cai Lian was relentless and chased him out, shouting, "General, are you still going to the parade ground to compete with your cousin at noon today?"

She wanted everyone in the barracks to hear it, so that they could see how shameless the general was to flirt with his cousin. Their wives were working hard every day to arrange and supervise the big and small things in the barracks!

"Chen Bi is my cousin, that's all." Jiang Qi turned to look at her, his eyes silent.

He didn't understand why they all misinterpreted what he meant. His subordinates would reflect on him in such a weird tone from time to time, as if he had done something to let his wife down. But there was never any transgression between him and his cousin. His cousin's family was broken up, and she came to him after a narrow escape from death. Was he, as a brother, going to abandon her? ! That would be too inhumane!

"Whatever the general says, that's what's wrong." Cai Lian spread her hands and rolled her eyes, "Anyway, we are all blind."

"Cai Lian! Are you talking like a human being?"

Jiang Qi didn't have time to react before he saw Cai Lian being pressed to the ground by Chen Bi.

"You shameless thing, you dare to say that to me? You should think about whether you can stay here for so long, thanks to our wife!"

Cai Lian was originally a fierce girl who grew up in the countryside. She was used to throwing tantrums and fighting since she was a child. Seeing someone actively provoking her, and this person was someone she always hated, she simply used all her strength and suppressed Chen Bi in a few moves. She sat on Chen Bi and shouted triumphantly.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Seeing that she couldn't be pushed, Chen Bi used the ultimate move in women's fights - pulling hair.

"You fatherless and motherless thing, dare to throw tantrums here in front of me, Cai Lian...ah..." Cai Lian screamed in pain, and there was a lot of long hair on the ground.

"I'll teach you to be mean, I'll teach you to be rude." Chen Bi turned over and sat her down again. After pulling her hair, he started to slap her.

"Enough." Jiang Qi watched the two people fighting from the side, his eyes were cold.

Chen Bi suddenly calmed down, and Cai Lian was also a little scared by him. The two of them were stiff, staring at him motionlessly.

"Cai Lian, go find the lady and tell her I want to talk to her about something." Jiang Qi pulled Chen Bi away and said to her in a deep voice: "You go to the training ground first."

"Lululu." Cai Lian got up and clapped her hands, "Some people are really biased." But she was very supportive of the general's willingness to have a good talk with his wife, and ran away like a gust of wind.

"Cousin!" Chen Bi covered her injured elbow and looked at him, her eyes full of sadness, "You just watched me being bullied, don't you feel sorry for me?"

"Chen Bi," he suddenly became serious, "You are already a big girl, I am just your cousin, there are some things I am willing to support you, but there are some things you can't say."

"Cousin...!" Chen Bi trotted over and wanted to hug his hand and act coquettishly, but Jiang Qi turned and left before her.

"From now on, you can go to the training ground by yourself. It's not about learning a lot, but about learning well. Practice well, it will come in handy one day."

"Cousin!" Chen Bi's voice was choked with sobs, "Don't you want Chen Bi anymore?" She didn't get a response.

In the tent.

Jiang Qi was in a bad mood, he felt that he had harmed his cousin. If he had stopped his cousin from coming to Kyoto in the first place, or stopped his cousin from leaving Kyoto...

"I heard Cai Lian said you were looking for me?" Hearing the familiar voice, his thoughts were interrupted. He turned to look at his wife, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She's so old, but she doesn't even know there's soot on her face. He approached her step by step.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Shi Yi frowned. She didn't understand his sudden laughter or his sudden approach.

"Look." Jiang Qi wiped the soot off her face, and then took two steps back. He just noticed that she frowned.

"Oh, it's okay, I have to go back later." Shi Yi thought it was something else, it turned out to be charcoal soot stuck on her face, so she didn't care, and said directly: "Just tell me what you have to say. There is still room for improvement in our explosives. We are testing more powerful ones, striving to be more perfect and effective."

"Are you so busy?" Jiang Qi was ready to talk to her, but after she said that, he couldn't bear to waste her time.

"It's not that busy, it's just that the Japanese pirates are as annoying as fleas. At present, there is no permanent solution, so we hope that the training will be more efficient, the weapons and equipment will be better, and we will keep improving." As Shi Yi spoke, he wiped his face with his palm a few more times, and his fair face turned black again.

Jiang Qi stretched out his hand, then suddenly put it down. She didn't care about these details, so why should he be so persistent.

"Are you looking for me?" Shi Yi's eyes were cast on him, and he was a little anxious. When he was anxious, he saw something on the desk.

"It's nothing serious." He handed her the letter from his mother, "I just want to tell you not to worry too much."

Seeing that she took it half-believingly, he hurriedly added, "This is also what mother wants to tell you."

There are some things that he can't say smoothly. He wants to wait a little longer, and wait until the Japanese pirates are quiet before explaining everything to her.

"Then I'll go out." Shi Yi put the letter in his sleeve.

He nodded, and thought of the fight between Chen Bi and Cai Lian today. He opened his mouth and said, "Chen Bi..." but was interrupted.

"I know everything about Chen Bi. Don't worry, I won't be ignorant and make things difficult for you."

"Ah..." He was a little shocked himself, and felt that what he wanted to say was far from what she understood. After waiting for a while, he didn't know what to say, and said with a stiff face: "You go and do your work first."

He thought that there would be plenty of time to talk slowly later.
