Jiang Sheng nodded and agreed readily: "Of course. Besides making this hidden weapon, I also have a big order for you. Once the price is determined, we can sign it."
The strong man hummed and said solemnly, "No problem, my name is Tie Niu, you can just call me A Niu from now on."
"Okay, Aniu, let's talk somewhere else."
"Come with me, let's talk in the backyard. It's quieter there, and there aren't any strangers around."
Half an hour later, the deposit was paid.
Jiang Sheng took the contract and left satisfied.
When we returned to the barracks, it was already dark.

New Year's Eve
The torches in the military camp were lit, illuminating the camp brightly.
Inside the main tent, dancers were dancing on the stage.
The soldiers below the stage sat at a long table, watching the dancers while drinking and eating meat. The atmosphere was very lively.
Huo Ying'an came over and sat next to Jiang Sheng, with a flattering smile on his face: "General Mo, I toast you a glass."
Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows, picked up the wine glass with a normal expression, and took a sip. He was reluctant to drink more for fear of getting drunk and being tricked.
He has never been able to hold his liquor well, so he naturally has to be more cautious.
"Hey, I heard that General Mo used to go to town to drink a lot. He was a very good drinker. How come on such a big day like New Year's Eve, he just didn't drink a single sip?"
Jiang Sheng met those inquiring eyes and smiled: "Nothing, I still have to keep watch tonight, so it's naturally not advisable to drink too much."
"Besides, when I went to town before, I was accompanied by beautiful women, so it was inevitable that I would get drunk. Now..."
Huo Ying'an understood what he said and clapped his hands. Soon the curtain was lifted and three beauties came in.
Her voice was delicate and sweet: "General, let me pour you some wine."
"I will help you massage your shoulders~~~"
Jiang Sheng smelled the strong scent of rouge and raised his hand to cover his nose, feeling dizzy. "No need, General Huo, please have them leave. The smell of rouge is really too strong."
Huo Ying'an chuckled and waved his hand: "Everyone, go away. Since General Mo doesn't like it, we can just change it."
"No, I don't need..."
A jade hand opened the door, and a woman in a white dress walked in slowly. She had a beautiful appearance, and under the candlelight, she was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.
Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment and quickly looked away.
The woman walked forward slowly. There was no smell of rouge on her body, only a faint floral fragrance that was almost imperceptible and smelled very nice.
A cold voice sounded: "Sir, let me pour you some wine."
His eyes fell on her thin clothes, and he asked doubtfully, "Are you a good girl?"
"Well, I'm Yuege. I heard that I could get fifty taels of silver by pouring wine in the military camp, so I came here."
Huo Ying'an explained with a smile, "I know General Mo is an upright man and would never touch a woman before he comes of age, so I recruited a few women from the countryside."
"Don't worry, they are all girls with clean backgrounds. They are just pouring some wine. This night watch is very difficult. Some people say that talking is always good."
Jiang Sheng glanced at him, raised the cup in his hand and drank.
Yue Ge immediately filled up the glass, and his eyes seemed to fall on him. This man who looked a little immature was actually the world-famous General Mo.
If she could be by her parents' side in the future, her parents' illness would surely be cured, and she wouldn't have to worry anymore.
After the dancer finished her dance, everyone had almost finished eating.
They gathered together and whispered about something, the constant chattering gave Jiang Sheng a headache and he didn't know if he could go back to the tent.
He reached out and tugged at his brother who was drinking on his right, and whispered, "Major General, can I go back to the tent first? It's a bit noisy here."
Jiang Ling hummed, "Go back and rest first, and come to the main tent to keep watch at night. It's just a formality."
He glanced at Yue Ge and smiled: "That girl is indeed good. Are you interested in her? If so, I can accept her..."
Jiang Sheng repeatedly waved his hands to refuse: "No, women are too troublesome. Even if I want to consider it, it will be after I reach adulthood. I don't want to be distracted by these things now."
"This girl will stay for one night and we'll send her away tomorrow."
Seeing his brother like this, Jiang Ling didn't say anything and nodded: "Okay, I'll let Cheng Xia take you back."
"It's okay, I can go back by myself."
Jiang Sheng slowly stood up, stepped back and walked outside. The biting cold wind blew on his face, and his dizzy mind instantly cleared up. He walked towards his tent.
After a quick wash, I leaned on the bed and wanted to take a nap.
Hearing the sound of light footsteps, Jiang Sheng opened his eyes quickly and stared at the curtain vigilantly.
Yue Ge came in with hot water and met those cold eyes. She was so scared that she quickly lowered her head and said timidly, "General Mo, it was General Huo who asked me to come here to help you wash up."
“…No need, I can handle these little things myself.”
Once you get used to doing it yourself, you don’t want others to get close to you, and your body will be subconsciously alert, which is not bad enough.
Jiang Sheng withdrew his gaze and his expression softened.
"I can do these little things myself. There's no need to trouble Miss Yuege. You can sit over there and read a book. I'll do it myself."
Yue Ge said softly, "I... can't read much, so I'd better not read it. If I do, I won't understand it well."
"Bring me some water so I can soak my feet."
"Yes, General."
After Jiang Sheng quickly finished soaking his feet, he couldn't fall asleep either. He looked at the person standing there with some helplessness: "Miss Yuege, I don't have anything to do here. You can go to bed early."
"Take these fifty taels and leave the barracks early tomorrow morning. This place is not suitable for girls."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white figure knelt on the ground with a thud.
Yue Ge reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes, looking at him with tearful eyes: "Please, General, save me. If I go back, I will definitely be sold to a brothel by my parents."
"I can do anything. I just want to be a servant by your side. I hope you will have mercy on me."
Jiang Sheng stared at her closely, and naturally did not miss the calculation that flashed through her eyes, which made him feel annoyed.
He has always disliked people who think too much. This woman has violated a taboo, so naturally she cannot stay with him. Her secret may be discovered at any time.
He stood up and said in a colder voice: "Miss Yuege, if you want to find work, please follow me."
Yue Ge's eyes lit up and she quickly stood up and followed him.
After Jiang Sheng led the person to the main tent, he bowed and said softly, "Major General, this girl wants to come to the military camp to find work. I wonder what kind of work I should arrange for her."
"…Looking for work in the military camp?"
Jiang Ling glanced at his brother's impatient expression, and understood what he was saying. He said softly, "If you are willing, I will have someone take you to town and find you a job."
"The barracks are all men. It's really inappropriate for a woman like you to be here. Do you understand what I mean?"
Yue Ge knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "General, I want to serve General Mo. I beg you to grant my wish."
