Chapter 219 Excited wild boars in the melon field

... "I am used to using a long spear, and I don't know many sword moves. When fighting with Torre, I subconsciously used your previous sword moves," Jiang Wenjing paused, squinted his eyes, and his face darkened: "Torre said that this is the enlightenment move of the Mobei people when they were young..."

Ji Tong's eyes flashed with surprise, and the surprise and confusion on his face were very natural. If Jiang Wenjing hadn't confirmed his identity from Jiang Zhiyu's inner voice early in the morning, I'm afraid he would be fooled again.

"So, that's why the general thinks I'm a Mobei person, or a Mobei spy?"

His words were beyond Jiang Wenjing's expectations. He thought Ji Tong would explain, but he didn't expect him to question directly.

"It's just a suspicion."

Jiang Wenjing blinked slightly, his tone calm.

"Suspicion..." Ji Tong murmured and repeated, then he chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his laughter: "General, you know the situation of my family. We live on the border between Mobei and Tianqi, a place where all kinds of people mix. My body is weaker than others, so my father had no choice but to hire a master for me. The original intention of letting me learn martial arts was just to make me stronger."

"This Mobei sword technique was also taught to me by that master. I knew nothing about it before," Ji Tong saw that there was still doubt in Jiang Wenjing's eyes, and continued: "If I were really from Mobei, why would I reveal it when I knew that this was Mobei sword technique? Wouldn't that be deliberately arousing suspicion?"

Jiang Wenjing's eyes were slightly hesitant. Ji Tong saw that his expression was a little shaken, and he coughed a few times, and said in a lost voice: "Since the general rescued me, I have been with the general for several years. Now the general suspects me just because of these few Mobei moves. It really makes Ji very disappointed. ……”

He sighed lightly, then stood up and bowed: "Since the general has become suspicious, I will not continue to bother the general here. I will set off back to the front line. If the general is willing to use me in the future, you can continue to use me. If not, you can demote me to a small soldier." There

was a hint of sobbing in his voice: "But the general, please don't expel me from the barracks. I haven't found my brother yet. I am all alone now, and this is the only hope I have..."

Jiang Wenjing looked at him for a long time, his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, and veins bulged.

Considering the past friendship, he had already given him a chance, but he still tried to evade him like this...

He was disappointed, but pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Why should we be like this? If I really believed that you were a spy, why would I ask you so directly?"

"I was just distracted by what Torre said. Don't take it to heart, and don't say such arrogant words. How can the friendship between you and me be shaken so easily?" Since

he had given him the step, Ji Tong naturally would not take advantage of him and walked down according to his words.

The two of them talked to each other for a while, and teased each other about the interesting things in their youth. The tense situation just now disappeared in an instant.

Jiang Wenjing then left first, using the excuse that he was on official business.

Ji Tong watched him disappear outside the door, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately. He

didn't know whether this statement fooled Jiang Wenjing, but according to his understanding of Jiang Wenjing, Jiang Wenjing was a man of loyalty and righteousness. Even if he had doubts in his heart, he would not act easily without definite evidence.

He must think of a way to eradicate this matter from Jiang Wenjing's mind, without any trace left.

...

In the Xu Mansion, Jiang Sulan also came back from her aunt's house and brought back several fresh sweet potatoes.

As soon as she saw Jiang Zhiyu, Jiang Sulan couldn't wait to share with Jiang Zhiyu.

"The young master of the Shangshu family went to see the lanterns dressed as a woman, and was caught by his mortal enemy, the third son of the Minister of Rites. Fearing that his identity would be exposed in public, the young master of the Shangshu family dressed as a woman and accompanied him for the night. He returned home early the next morning, and at noon, he received news that the third son of the Minister of Rites was kidnapped into the street by thieves, put in a sack and beaten severely."

Her eyes were shining, like a wild animal running excitedly in a melon field.

"And, and, Gao Yan, you know, the one from the fourth room of the Minister of Rites."

Jiang Zhiyu thought for a while.

[Oh, I remember, that little submissive with a father complex, right?]

Jiang Sulan: "..."

Huh?

What do you mean?

She blinked twice, then whispered in Jiang Zhiyu's ear: "I don't know why Qingfeng Pavilion didn't accept him, so he went to Xianggu Pavilion in Baixia, which is the same as Qingfeng Pavilion. As a result, a woman happened to be looking for someone there that day. When she pushed the door, she saw her husband doing that foolish thing with Gao Yan..."

"The woman told us herself that if it was a woman, she would have endured it. But when she saw it was a man, she immediately became furious and made a big fuss. She pretended to chop with a knife. Gao Yan didn't even have time to put on his clothes. He could only pull down the bed curtains to cover himself. He lost face in public."

"Now the Minister of Rites has expelled Gao Yan from the house."

Jiang Zhiyu nodded.

【That woman was arranged by the wife of Marquis Anle. Emperor Lu Daizong has not recovered yet. Several people who have close relations with Emperor Lu Daizong have been angered by them. Gao Yan's hobbies are not so secretive. You can find out by bribing the servants around him.】

Jiang Sulan was shocked.

No wonder, she was thinking about it when she was eating melons with her aunt.

The woman went to find her husband, not to the place where the courtesans and singing girls were, but to the place where they were pampered and intimate.

So that's it.

Jiang Sulan's eyelashes trembled slightly, "There is one more thing. My aunt said that Prince Yu is going to return to the court, and the emperor has nodded in agreement."

【Nodding in agreement? I'm afraid he wants to lure the snake out of its hole and then kill him with a surprise attack and dig out his snake nest. 】

Jiang Sulan: “!!!”

Although the Emperor and Prince Yu are brothers, everyone with eyes in Shengjing can see that if it weren’t for the late emperor’s imperial edict, Prince Yu would have already reunited with his relatives in the underworld.

Now that His Majesty has agreed to let Prince Yu go to the capital, could it be that he is planning to take back Longxi?

Jiang Sulan thought about it for a while, and then gave up.

Why was she considering all this? It had nothing to do with her.

But if a war really had to start, could Xiao Siyuan be sent? She was really fed up with him.

As if she could hear her thoughts, Jiang Sulan was just thinking about it when Jiang Zhiyu on the other side asked first: "I heard that Xiao Siyuan has been pestering you every day during the days I was away?"

Jiang Sulan sighed: "I don't know why, he comes to Xu's house every day, but it's not for marriage. It seems that he just comes to see me and leaves after a stick of incense."
