Chapter 159 I Want to See Him
Military Supervisor Luo led Gu Huan and the captain of the caravan's guard to the warehouse to sign the delivery documents. They happened to meet a group of drunk people who were chatting and laughing as they walked towards the tent of a camp prostitute.
"You all think that our commander is pure and has few desires. In fact, our commander has high standards. He is used to eating the exquisite delicacies from the mountains and seas in the capital, and he looks down on the wild vegetables of our camp prostitutes."
"Don't talk nonsense. There are so many noble ladies in Bianjing City who have thrown themselves at the commander, but he hasn't taken a liking to any of them."
"That's because they are not beautiful enough, not charming enough. Isn't this a concubine? Or the commander personally asked the emperor to grant the marriage, which is a great honor."
"Oh, so that concubine is a beauty. Deputy General Qi, you followed the commander back to the capital this time. Did you see what the concubine looked like?"
The man called Deputy General Qi laughed and said proudly, "Of course I saw it. When the commander got married, I and the brothers who accompanied him back to Beijing all went. The ceremony was grand, and the betrothal gifts and dowry were lined up for ten miles. All the rules and regulations were for the main wife. You can tell how much our commander dotes on this concubine. How could she not be beautiful?"
This statement caused a lot of wows, and those who had never seen it before became even more curious.
Gu Huan happened to pass by them and her face turned red when she heard the words, but she was also curious about how they were talking about her, so she slowed down her pace and pricked up her ears.
"How does it compare to the original one?"
"The original wife was a sickly woman, and the coach didn't want to marry her, he had no choice. She's plain looking, how can she compare to him?"
"Then tell us what that concubine looks like?" All the generals looked at her intently.
Deputy General Qi, who had seen Gu Huan for a moment at the wedding, was so proud that his neck almost stretched out like a giraffe.
"She is beautiful, but her identity is a bit embarrassing."
"Ah? What's your identity? Tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."
"She is the biological sister of Master Mu An's young mistress. By the way, there is another important story about this pair of sisters. It turns out that they were swapped by a wicked aunt when they were young. Our concubine is the legitimate daughter, and the young mistress is a concubine's daughter."
These words caused another exclamation.
These main generals are all Mu Junyan's trusted generals, and they all know very well who Mu An is.
Everyone in the military camp knew about General An's bravery in rescuing the Duke. His only son was adopted by Mu Junyan and he was married to a daughter of the Marquis. Everyone had heard of this, but no one had ever seen him in person.
"Wow, he's so young? Tsk tsk tsk, an old cow eating young grass. Ah! Why are you hitting me?"
The person who said this was slapped on the head.
Deputy General Qi glared at him and said, "You are so vulgar. Is our commander very old? He is only twenty-seven."
"Ignore him, tell me how our coach hooked up with this son's wife and sister."
A group of gossipers gathered together, and several pairs of bright eyes stared at Deputy General Qi.
I don’t care about camp prostitutes anymore.
The best gossip is about the head coach.
Deputy General Qi lowered his voice and said, "The young master's sister-in-law is pitiful. She was captured by the young lady and forced to be the young master's concubine to consolidate her favor. Somehow, the commander found out about it and felt that the young lady was indeed pitiful. He also found that her handwriting was as good as that of the late lady, so he kept her in the study to serve as a calligrapher. Guess what happened?"
"What?"
"Hurry up and tell me. I'll let you have sex with Hua Niang first after I'm done."
"Bullshit, Hua Niang is exclusively mine!"
"Okay, okay, you have it all to yourself. Stop wasting time and tell me."
Deputy General Qi said mysteriously: "Our commander has not left the study for several days. Every morning when the young lady comes out, she can hardly walk."
"Wow."
"Wow."
"OMG."
"Is this the beginning of the season so you don't let them go?"
"The young master's wife's sister must be extremely beautiful, otherwise she can make this old iron tree bloom?"
Deputy General Qi smacked his lips, recalling with an intoxicated look on his face: "Which noble concubine is really attractive. On the wedding day, all the noble guests and female relatives were dressed up, but when the bride stood there, she was like a fairy in the sky, and a group of wild chickens on the ground."
"As she walked towards our commander step by step, holding a round fan, her steps were like lotus flowers, and anyone passing by could smell a faint fragrance. Her slender waist was as graceful as a willow."
The big heads suddenly became as quiet as chickens.
All in the imagination.
They tried hard to imagine the woman's appearance in their minds, but they could not imagine how beautiful she could be.
Seeing their stupid looks, Deputy General Qi smiled slyly and said, "Think about it, what kind of beauty can pry open the heart of our iron-hearted commander? If the commander wants more, he will naturally take her in and make her his real woman. But the commander said he won't marry, so he can only take a concubine."
The generals then came back to their senses from their contemplation.
"How can a wife compare to a concubine? As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. Our coach started out by being a secret lover."
A group of burly generals burst into laughter.
Romantic affairs have always been the most talked about.
What's more, he is the serious and self-disciplined Lao Tieshu, and he is also their commander-in-chief and the current first-rank duke.
However, this is just their imagination, a joke, and they are just talking nonsense.
After all, they had fought with Mu Junyan for many years, and he had always been rude and cold-tempered.
Not to mention camp prostitutes, even if a female fly flew close, it would probably be slapped to death by him.
They all went to the camp prostitutes laughing and joking.
It's just a few jokes to satisfy my urge to talk.
Gu Huan's ears felt hot.
Mu Junyan is pure-hearted and has few desires?
After just a few times, many parts of my body were torn and swollen. I couldn't even wear pajamas at night, and my underwear hurt from rubbing against me.
Gu Huan lowered her head and quickened her pace to catch up with Military Inspector Luo.
General Luo was careless and didn't notice anything unusual about the person following him.
By the time all the food and fodder from the fifty carriages were unloaded, it was already dark.
There was no candlelight in the warehouse, so it was impossible to move things inside.
General Luo thought that the mountain road was difficult to travel on, and they came from Jiangling and were not familiar with the road. It would be bad if an accident happened.
Then he said, "How about you stay overnight and receive it tomorrow morning?"
Gu Huan was indeed very tired after a month of running around. She was terrified to walk on the mountain road early this morning, and her feet were covered with blisters. Naturally, she thought it would be best if she could stay for one night.
She thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Will you let the Duke take a look at the food and supplies?"
Luo Jianjun said with a smile: "The commander is busy with military affairs, how can this matter alarm him? But don't worry, the food, winter clothes and medicinal materials sent by your Pei family are just timely rain. I will definitely pass on your kindness. When the commander returns victorious, I will report your Pei family's righteous deeds to the emperor. Who knows, maybe he can even give you a generous reward."
Gu Huan guessed it, but still felt a little regretful.
She had discussed with the old lady and decided not to notify Mu Junyan to avoid distracting him.
Therefore, Mu Junyan probably doesn’t know that she came with the grain team at the moment.
This matter probably wasn't enough to alarm him.
Gu Huan looked a little lonely, but also a little unwilling in her heart.
She whispered, "I have heard of the Duke's reputation for a long time, and I would like to see him. Could you please tell him for me?"
"At this time?"
General Luo raised his eyebrows and turned to look at a brightly lit tent not far away.
"I'm afraid not. The coach may still be in the meeting."
Gu Huan followed his gaze and her heart sank, with her eyes slightly red.
Is this his tent?
"He...it's already dark, and he's still in the meeting? Is it that hard?"
Luo Jianjun raised his head and glanced at the newly risen moon. "We are just getting started. A while ago, the commander didn't sleep for three days and three nights. He even went into battle himself. His boots were filled with blood from the pile of corpses. Moreover, there were many times when he didn't have food to eat for the whole day. During these few days of rest, the commander can finally eat and sleep. That's good enough."
Gu Huan's heart tightened.
Mu Junyan never mentioned these things when he wrote to her some time ago. He just told her calmly to eat well and sleep well.
Gu Huan suddenly wanted to see him very much.
In her arms, she was carrying some snacks that she had made early this morning.
Since there were not enough ingredients, I just made sunflower seed crisps.
I protected it carefully all the way, I don't know if it's broken.
