Chapter 125 Military Supervisor
The military supervisor sent from above will be here soon.
He specially sent a letter to Duan Wen, specifically asking to see Jun Qiulan.
Duan Wen didn't dare to delay and directly contacted Jun Yu using the walkie-talkie.
Jun Yu was also anxious.
Ever since Duan Wen and Huo Lan blocked the news from the border town, all the news available from the capital was false and fabricated by them.
Of course, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that there are spies in the border towns and the capital.
So that's where their troubles come from now.
The news known in the capital was that Jun Qiulan and his family were still living in the adobe house they had just arrived in.
Jun Qiulan pondered for a moment and said, "It's not a big deal. The military supervisor specifically asked to see me, but didn't say he wanted to come to our house. I'll just ask General Huo to make the arrangements when the time comes."
After a pause, he continued, "If we want to be on the safe side, we can discuss with Madam Zhao and the others and rent out our old house temporarily."
This is not a big problem.
Song Xirong listened and said, "Okay, I'll go discuss it with Old Lady Zhao tomorrow morning. I'm sure they will agree."
Jun Qiulan held her parents' hands and said, "Don't worry. We have the strength to fight back now. We just need to avoid the attack for now."
Jun Yu smiled and said, "Ji Bai, you should worry about yourself first. Can you get a vacation there?"
Jun Qiulan couldn't help laughing: "If it's really urgent, it's okay to ask Yan Jing for leave."
It just so happens that he hasn't had any scenes in recent days.
It mainly depends on when the military supervisor arrives.
The communication speed was slow, and the letter must have taken some time to be delivered on the way.
Maybe I’ll get it in the next two days.
Jun Qiulan thought about it and decided to tell Yan Jing about it.
If there is an emergency and he happens to have a role to play, then he will really be left there.
He can't release any pigeons from any direction.
However, after careful consideration, Yan Jing's role is more important.
Yan Jing has been tolerant enough towards him.
If it wasn't for the overall situation, why would the emperor give face to such a military inspector sent by the emperor?
If he says he wants to see him, does he have to go?
The military inspector represents the emperor, but isn't it normal for him to have resentment towards the emperor?
Anyway, this military supervisor cannot leave the border town for the time being.
Want to leave right after you come?
That's not so easy.
The next day, when Jun Qiulan went to the crew, she told Yan Jing about this.
You may need to take a whole day off, but you may not know exactly which day you will take the leave.
After listening to this, Yan Jing frowned slightly.
"What happened over there?"
Taking leave one after another.
Of course he knew that Jun Qiulan was not taking leave to be lazy. With his character, he would not do such a thing.
But we agreed before joining the team that I would not take leave if I could avoid it.
This is not a restriction on Jun Qiulan alone, but a restriction on the entire crew.
Jun Qiulan's performance in the crew has always been very good, but recently, he has been asking for leave more frequently.
He was not worried about anything else, he was just worried about whether something really happened to Jun Qiulan.
Yan Jing said the same words again: "How can I help you?"
Jun Qiulan felt Yan Jing's trust.
To be honest, at this moment, he was really at a loss for words.
He didn't know how to explain it, and even at this moment, he almost wanted to tell the person in front of him directly.
When a person faces the absolute trust given by another person, all his lies become sharp swords stabbing him.
But this question seems to have no solution.
Jun Qiulan didn't know what to say, let alone how to start.
Whether you are friends or partners, sincerity between each other is just the foundation.
Jun Qiulan's mood was actually very complicated. Liu Yue had guessed his origins before, and he knew that Liu Yue was trustworthy, so he occasionally deliberately revealed some flaws so that Liu Yue could guess more.
Of course, he did have selfish motives. He had no one to look after him here, and Sister Yue could just help him cover up in an emergency.
As for Yan Jing, Jun Qiulan knew that Yan Jing was as trustworthy as Liu Yue.
But I just can't say it.
Did he have to drag Yan Jing to a separate room for no apparent reason and then suddenly tell him that he came from ancient times?
Now that the rebellion is underway, it has reached a critical moment, so I need to ask for leave.
Even if Yan Jing trusted him, after hearing such words, if he didn't send him to a mental hospital, it would be considered as feeling sorry for him.
He actually wondered why Yan Jing couldn't guess it?
If he had guessed this, it would have saved him a lot of trouble.
Jun Qiulan was very conflicted.
When Yan Jing saw Jun Qiulan's conflicted expression, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You just need to tell me if you need help or anything."
Jun Qiulan had an idea. Yes, he could also slowly reveal some clues and let Yan Jing guess.
Yan Jing is so smart, he can definitely guess it.
He thought for a moment and said, "I want to buy some salt. The cheapest kind will do."
Yan Jing: “??? How much?”
Even though he didn't understand, salt was a thing you'd find in abundance in supermarkets, at all prices.
A batch? How big a batch?
Jun Qiulan pursed her lips and said, "Let's have one ton first."
Yan Jing: “???????”
He was really speechless.
A ton of salt?
When people are speechless, they really laugh, "Why? Do you want to tell me one day in the future that you have eaten more salt than I have eaten rice?"
Even if Mr. Yangeng and his entire village were to pickle vegetables together, they wouldn't need so much salt, right?
There doesn't seem to be any rumors recently that would prompt people to stock up on salt.
Jun Qiulan was speechless at this moment.
Yan Jing is the director, and he can also write scripts.
Doesn’t he read online novels at all?
Jun Qiulan opened his mouth and said, "Anyway, I just want this much salt now. The cheapest one will do. I was planning to ask Master Qingheng to order it for me."
Yan Jing also opened his mouth, "Okay, send me an address and I'll ship it directly to you."
Jun Qiulan directly gave Yan Jing the address of the warehouse: "The key is with my assistant."
They had just harvested one million kilograms of grain some time ago, and he was very tired from carrying it back and forth.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, a ton of salt, used by the entire army, doesn't seem to last too long.
I guess I still need to ask Master Qingheng to help him get some more.
Of course, there is coarse salt in the military camp. When mixed with cooking, it will last for a while. Once they find their own salt mine, the situation will be much better.
Jun Qiulan: "What about my request for leave?"
Yan Jing was speechless: "I never asked before, but today I really want to ask, what is it that has kept you so busy recently? What secrets are you hiding from me?"
Although busy, it did not delay the filming of the crew.
Even though he was not very satisfied with the previous scene, he could see that Jun Qiulan had put his heart into studying it and was not being lazy.
Jun Qiulan was rarely playful: "Guess."
Yan Jing waved his hands and smiled helplessly: "Go and do your own thing. You don't have any scenes today. Think about the previous scene again."
Jun Qiulan agreed, then said hello to the other actors and said she was going to practice dancing.
Everyone knows that the dancing scene is Jun Qiulan’s highlight, and even for the entire movie, this scene is very important.
Jun Qiulan almost never stopped practicing dancing.
Apart from watching the crew every day, I basically go to practice dancing.
Of course, they also heard about Jun Qiulan's recent leave.
But, who doesn’t have something urgent to do?
The director didn’t say anything, what can they say?
What's more, Jun Qiulan did not delay the filming progress.
As for Jun Qiulan's filming being blocked by Yan Jing for a few days, isn't this normal for the entire crew?
Among these main actors, who hasn’t been stuck in a role?
It is normal to have dozens of NGs in one scene.
In comparison, Jun Qiulan's performance is already very impressive.
After saying hello, Jun Qiulan left.
He didn't lie, he really did go to practice dancing.
I only practiced in the morning and returned to ancient times in the afternoon.
Mother has already arranged everything.
They also moved some daily necessities into the old yard next door, pretending that someone was living there permanently.
Old Madam Zhao was very nervous.
Is the peaceful life they have worked so hard to achieve going to be broken again?
Their family, with old and young, is supported by three daughters-in-law and a little daughter.
Seeing that the life of the deceased family was getting better and better, they were even asking people to buy bricks and beams for their new house.
If things go well, they will be able to move into their new house during the Chinese New Year.
But unexpectedly, someone from the capital suddenly came.
This family is said to rely on the three daughters-in-law and the youngest daughter, but in fact, they all depend on the Jun family for their livelihood.
If anything happens to the Jun family again, their family will not have an easy time.
Besides, the Jun family is such a good family of four. Over the past year, they have done so many good things that benefited the country and the people.
Is it true that such a good person should not be able to survive just because of the so-called politics in the court?
Jun Qiulan noticed the old lady's anxiety.
"Old Madam, don't worry. This matter will only last for a few days. It will not affect our future life. The future will definitely get better and better. If we wait for a while, maybe the three uncles will be released from the barracks."
Madam Zhao's husband was also a scholar from a grassroots background. His family was exiled because Mr. Qian was involved in a case of cheating in the imperial examination.
But Mr. Qian was innocent. Because he had no background, he could only sacrifice his own life to buy a way to survive for his family.
Therefore, Madam Zhao’s three sons were also wronged.
The war is tense now and there is a shortage of manpower in the military camp. The three uncles Qian are all cooking in the kitchen, so there is no danger for the time being.
When the war calms down, those who have been wronged like this can stand up and seek redress, and justice will be done to them. From then on, those who are willing to stay in the barracks can stay.
If you don’t want to stay, you can go home.
After all, in their ideal world, there would be no situations where grievances could not be redressed as much as possible.
Madam Zhao nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'm not afraid of anything else, but I also hope that your family will be well."
"It will be fine." Jun Qiulan pretended to be relaxed. "General Huo and Prefect Duan are both our own people. It's just that it's not suitable for us to confront the court head-on for the time being. We can just put on a show for them."
Old Madam Zhao smiled and felt much more at ease.
The little girl and Miss Jun studied the so-called medical skills and medicine together. The sisters had a good relationship, took care of each other in life, and talked a lot.
Therefore, it is not difficult to see what the Jun family is going to do now, including the ideas that people from the city came to promote to them some time ago.
that is good.
Although she had not read much and did not have much knowledge, she knew that the world was beginning to be cannibalistic.
If you want to survive, someone has to overthrow the current rulers.
The Jun family members are all very good. With them in power, the people of the world feel like they have fallen into a blessed nest.
Jun Qiulan didn't expect that the next day after they cleaned up the old adobe house, news came from the city via walkie-talkie.
The military supervisor arrived.
When he saw Duan Wen and Huo Lan, he said nothing and just said that he had brought the emperor's edict to Jun Qiulan and asked Jun Qiulan to come out to receive it.
However, Jun Qiulan was already in the crew at this time.
I really didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Fortunately, they were well prepared.
Since Jun Qiulan was not there, only Jun Yu and Song Xirong were responsible for receiving the military inspector.
The two men also changed into old clothes and respectfully saluted the military supervisor in the adobe yard.
To say that Jun Qiulan has a talent for acting, apart from the fact that when he was still the prince, he needed to use different masks to treat others, maybe it is really a bit hereditary?
The couple Jun Yu and Song Xirong expressed emotions such as fright, timidity, shrinking, and panic vividly.
But the strange thing was that they only saluted halfway before being helped up by the servant beside the military supervisor.
So he just bowed and didn't kneel.
Logically speaking, they are still criminals. Not to mention that the military supervisor from the capital has the emperor's edict, even ordinary scholars with meritorious service have to kneel.
This is the rule of this era.
The military supervisor did not explain, but his attitude was lukewarm.
"I came here to deliver His Majesty's imperial edict. Why don't you let Jun Qiulan come out quickly to receive it?"
Jun Yu gave a flattering smile, "My lord, I'm truly sorry. Life is tough right now, and winter is just around the corner. Lan'er went hunting in the woods early in the morning to supplement the family income. We can't say for sure when he'll be back."
This forest is so vast that even if we go in and look for someone, we may not be able to find him even after searching for a whole day.
The military supervisor was silent for a moment. "In that case, I will wait here. You can go about your business."
Jun Yu and Song Xirong looked at each other, then quickly retreated and made a pot of rough tea to entertain the military supervisor.
"Sir, you take a rest first. My husband and I have to get busy."
What are you busy with?
I definitely can’t go to school in the city today, luckily I’ve made arrangements in advance.
So today they went to the yard next door to make folding fans and write inscriptions and draw pictures on them.
As for this matter, they were all doing it during the initial period and were very familiar with it.
There is absolutely no flaw.
But, they know it in their hearts.
The fact that a school was being established in the city could not be concealed for long.
But at least I have to fool around today.
It is really inappropriate to confront each other head-on right away.
A true hunter will kill his prey with one strike when it is off guard.
They are now the hunters and the military supervisors are the prey.
At the same time, they are also prey.
Be careful not to be fooled by hunters.
After a while, Duan Wen and Huo Lan came over one after another.
Originally, they were going to come together when they met the military supervisor at the city gate, but the military supervisor said that the imperial edict was a secret order and was only for Jun Qiulan to see, so they had no reason to follow.
The military supervisor only brought a servant and a guard with him. He found someone to lead the way and went straight to the village.
Duan Wen and Huo Lan waited and waited in the government office, but the military supervisor didn't come back and there was no sound from the intercom, so they guessed that Jun Qiulan must have gone to another world.
So they discussed it and came over one after another.
"Master Duan, are you busy with official duties these days?" The military supervisor turned to Huo Yan and asked, "General Huo, is there any urgent military information in the camp today?"
That being said, the military supervisor didn't seem surprised that they were here.
Huo Lian and Duan Wen looked at each other, unable to see through this man's intentions.
This man was not of high birth, and Huo Lian's spies were unable to find out which prince's relative he was attached to.
Could it be that he is really just a pure minister?
Junchen...
It’s actually even more difficult now.
Just obeying the emperor would go against their thinking.
Jun Yu and Song Xirong came over to greet them, served them tea, and then went to work next door.
With Duan Wen and Huo Lan around, they felt more at ease.
There were villagers who originally wanted to join in the fun, but when they saw that both Magistrate Duan and General Huo were there, and that there was another young man in the group, they guessed that he might be a high-ranking official, so they quickly hid away.
Some people knew that Jun Qiulan was the prince in the past, and they privately speculated whether the emperor had sent someone to take Jun Qiulan back.
After all, the oldest of the emperor's sons is only three or four years old, and the youngest may not have been weaned yet.
How can a little kid like this inherit the throne?
They discussed that even if Jun Qiulan was not their biological child, he was talented after all.
As long as Jun Qiulan is allowed to ascend the throne and issue an imperial decree, the next emperor can only be passed on to these little princes, doesn't that make sense?
One educated youth overheard this and said, "Are you guys going to kill yourself? Why are you getting involved in the private affairs of the imperial family at this time?"
He thought that what Jun Qiulan was going to do now was much greater than being an emperor.
Why go back to the capital to muddy the waters?
The capital city. The educated youth came from a merchant family and had always dreamed of visiting the capital one day.
Now that I think about it, it’s nothing special.
During this period, the clerk sent by Kong Sheng told them a lot of news from the capital.
How can such a filthy place be a good place?
Small merchants like them might have a say in the border town, but in the capital, they might not even be qualified to shine shoes.
The idea of equality for all is better.
"Speaking of which, this time we've officially started a fight with the Rongdi. We're close to the city, so they shouldn't be able to get here, right?"
The city is now on high alert.
On the main battlefield, the Rong and Di armies were not allowed to reach the city gate.
Perhaps Rongdi really thought so, but the explosive pack in Huo Yan's hand did not give Rongdi this opportunity.
Especially now they have such a powerful weapon as walkie-talkies.
When the scouts sent out by Huo Lian discovered the enemy's traces, they buried explosive packs directly on the road they had to pass, and then arranged several sharpshooters to ambush in secret.
When the Rongdi army entered the encirclement, the arrows were lit and shot straight at the explosive packs they had buried.
The fighting hasn't even officially started yet, but the Rong and Di people are already in disarray.
Later, they did not dare to confront them head-on, but only sent a few teams to harass them.
Huo Lian arranged for the people in the villages close to the Rongdi to evacuate in advance.
This was Jun Qiulan's suggestion.
In the past, they could only settle some veterans in villages closer to the Rongdi, and organize the villagers to protect themselves or fight back with their limited weapons.
Evacuating the people seemed too costly for them.
But Jun Qiulan doesn't think so.
Protecting the lives and property of the people is what they should do.
If the Rongdi invaded, burning and killing several villages at will, wouldn't the people in the city over there be in panic?
There are local soldiers who have to worry about the safety of their families at home while fighting.
It’s better to evacuate.
Huo Lian was also glad that he listened to Jun Qiulan's advice on this issue.
Two of the evacuated villages had been looted just a few days before.
Although they moved away, there were still some things that they could not take away, but the Rongdi people, who were poor in resources, did not care about these things.
Everything that could be used was taken away.
At this moment, Huo Lian was turning the topic to the war, also wanting to test the confidence of the military inspector.
Seeing that he came over, he did not make things difficult for Jun Qiulan's parents. Although his attitude was not good, he was polite.
The military supervisor's surname was Wang. "General Huo, I, a mere penholder, have no idea what's going on on the battlefield. You should be fully responsible for any issues concerning the war. I will only focus on my work."
No matter what this person is like or what his background is, he is already very grateful that he does not interfere in the military camp.
In the previous battles with the Rong and Di peoples, the military supervisors sent down were always complaining, saying this was inappropriate and that was against etiquette. It was all very confusing.
Huo Lan felt like he was about to lose a few clumps of hair.
For this matter, Huo Lian even wrote a letter to the old emperor, saying that they did not need military supervisors here and asked these military supervisors to go back.
But such a memorial is destined to receive no response.
During wartime, unless there are special circumstances, according to ancestral etiquette and laws, at least one military supervisor must be present.
Duan Wen also took over the conversation, "I wonder if Lord Wang plans to live in the city or in the military camp? I can make arrangements in advance."
Wang Daren looked at the two people, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"I will rent a yard myself, and you can find someone to cook for me. General Huo should also send two people to protect my safety. By the way, if there is a war, you can also take me to the battlefield."
This person...
The more Duan Wen and Huo Lan talked, the more confused they became.
Jun Yu was writing inscriptions and drawing on folding fans in the yard next door. Needless to say, writing inscriptions and drawing became a way for him to relieve stress.
He also roughly heard the conversation next door.
Immediately, cold sweat broke out on Jun Yu's back.
I'm afraid this military supervisor already knew their current situation.
No, maybe the emperor has known it all along?
Even though he is old and frail, he is still a tiger.
It is hard to say whether what they did before was hidden from the emperor.
