Chapter 204: General is not good enough?
Qi Shuo hadn't been to the military camp for a few days! Naturally, he had to go and take care of things.
Because Qi Shuo had been training intensively in the army some time ago, the soldiers felt the low pressure. People close to Qi Shuo guessed that Qi Shuo was in a bad mood, so whenever there was nothing to do, everyone would avoid Qi Shuo.
Qi Shuo arrived at the military camp today without saying hello in advance. As soon as everyone saw him, they tied him up.
"General? Why are you back?" Sun Yuan had just picked up the roasted lamb leg and hadn't started to eat it yet. When he saw Qi Shuo coming back, he honestly put the lamb leg aside and asked, "General, this is a freshly roasted lamb leg. Would you like to try it? Have some?"
Sun Yuan originally thought that according to the general's habit in the past few days, he would definitely go back to the tent to deal with military affairs without eating. However, this time the general actually walked straight over, sat aside, took the leg of lamb, and began to cut it with a knife, distributing pieces to the generals.
"General... let me do it!" Sun Yuan was a little confused. Has the general changed his personality?
Qi Shuo did not ask anyone to do it for him. After distributing the lamb legs, he said, "It's been a while since I've eaten meat with you guys. You don't have to be restrained today! Enjoy your meal! But you still can't drink the wine!"
When Sun Yuan and his companions heard their general say this, they immediately nodded and said happily: "Okay, okay, since the general said so, I won't be polite!"
Sun Yuan was a lover of food. He was big and strong. Although he was not good at martial arts, he was very strong and rarely suffered losses on the battlefield. So Sun Yuan would naturally not treat himself badly when it came to food.
After hearing Qi Shuo's words, Sun Yuan was no longer restrained and started to eat the meat with big mouthfuls of indulgence.
Qian Cheng asked: "General, you are in a good mood today! Is there something good?"
Everyone thought that Qi Shuo was unhappy because of the death of 20,000 soldiers in Shanzhou some time ago. The emperor also blamed the general for this incident, demoted the general's position, and caused the general's newly married wife to divorce the general. Everyone knew this and it was not the general's fault. It was all those villains who were only interested in fighting for power and wealth, and were deceitful all day long, causing the soldiers to fall into the trap and die.
When Qi Shuo heard his subordinates say this, he couldn't help but smile. He was indeed in a good mood these days.
"Okay, let's finish our duty quickly!" Qi Shuo finished the lamb leg in his hand and got up to go to work.
If you finish your work quickly, you can return home faster, see the people you want to see, and spend more time with the people you like.
Seeing the general rushing to the tent to handle official business so eagerly and looking very happy, Sun Yuan couldn't help but start to analyze it and said, "The general seems to be in a good mood today. There must be something happy happening at home."
Qian Cheng asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Sun Yuan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "The general's family only has a few simple people. What could be so happy and eager to go home? There is only one answer!"
Sun Yuan stretched out a finger and spoke in a mysterious way, as if he knew some big secret.
Qian Cheng and the others were very curious and came over to ask him, "What's the reason? General Sun, please tell me!"
Sun Yuan laughed and waved to his brothers, then began to talk about the general in a low voice, saying: "Think about it, who can make you so eager to go home?"
"This……"
"Of course it's a wife, children and a warm bed!"
"But the general has no wife, and the several wives he married before didn't stay with him!"
"That's right! General Sun, stop keeping us in suspense! Hurry up and tell us!"
"..."
Everyone was guessing.
Sun Yuan continued to laugh, and then revealed the answer: "It must be because of women! The general's previous wife is gone, but that doesn't mean the general will not have a wife in the future!"
"Really? But I heard that the general... is not good in that aspect!" someone suddenly said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The general is keeping himself clean, what do you know? Stop talking nonsense!" Sun Yuan began to defend the general's reputation, and then said: "If the general is really not good enough, where did the child come from?"
Sun Yuan's words were very loud, and he was determined to clear Qi Shuo's name.
"What can't I do?" A deep and powerful voice interrupted Sun Yuan from behind.
Sun Yuan was stunned on the spot, and then turned around in shock and looked at Qi Shuo: "General... General... Have you finished your military affairs?"
"What did you just say about me that I can't do?" Qi Shuo asked him solemnly.
"I didn't say anything?" Sun Yuan thought quickly and made up an excuse. Then he said, "I mean, there is nothing a general cannot do. A general can do anything!"
Qi Shuo didn't hear what they were whispering about just now. Since Sun Yuan didn't want to talk, he didn't force him. He just said, "Come in with me. I'll arrange something for you!"
"Ah?" Sun Yuan thought that the general was going to interrogate him privately. He was very worried and did not want to follow the general into the tent.
Qi Shuo saw that the person behind him had not moved yet, so he turned to look at Sun Yuan: "Why don't you come in?"
"Ah! Coming right up... Coming right up..." Sun Yuan turned his back with a bitter look on his face. If he had known earlier, he would have just eaten the barbecue and not complained about the general's private affairs. Now he has been caught.
Sun Yuan still had to think of an excuse to get away with it. The general had asked him to ask in private, so he must have heard it, right?
Otherwise, should you confess and receive leniency, or resist and receive severity?
Sun Yuan hesitated a little and slowly entered Qi Shuo's tent.
"General? Is there something you want me to do?" Sun Yuan asked carefully.
Qi Shuo looked at Sun Yuan like this, obviously a little suspicious, and then asked: "What did you do that makes you look like this?"
"Ah?" Sun Yuan was startled and quickly shook his head, "No, no, how could I do anything wrong? General, you are overthinking it."
Seeing Sun Yuan's guilty look, Qi Shuo wanted to refute him.
"What did you talk about just now? Tell me about it." Qi Shuo lowered his voice and used an interrogative tone.
"Ah? General? I didn't... I didn't say anything..." Sun Yuan was already feeling guilty, and when asked this question, he disguised himself too poorly. His guilty conscience was immediately seen through, so he asked Qi Shuo to continue asking in this direction!
"You are also an old follower of mine. Is there anything you can't say to me but have to say behind my back? Sun Yuan, do you have any objections to me again?" Qi Shuo asked in a deep voice.
This is a really big accusation! Sun Yuan just made a few idle remarks after dinner, how could it be considered as dissatisfaction with the main player?
"General, I didn't! How could I have any objection to you? I really didn't mean that!" Sun Yuan hurriedly explained.
"Then what did you say about me just now? What's wrong? Speak clearly!" Qi Shuo asked in more depth.
Sun Yuan knew that if he continued asking like this, he would be questioned sooner or later, so he might as well confess as soon as possible to avoid any suspicion.
