Chapter 1223 Cheng Wanli
The waiter lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I brought bath water to that man, and when I closed the door when I left, I accidentally looked inside and saw him take off his mask."
He leaned closer to Gan Song's head and spoke in a low voice that only the three of them could hear, "That man has a very talented appearance and is handsome. Unfortunately, there is a scar at the corner of his eye, which ruins the beauty of his face."

"A man with scars?" Gan Song was very surprised. "Besides scars, do you have any other characteristics?"
"No." The waiter shook his head. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something again and said, "Ah, by the way, that man only has four fingers on his left hand."
At that time, when he was bringing water in, the man was cleaning his sword. He accidentally noticed that the hand holding the sword was missing a little finger.
At that time, he was shocked, put the water down, and hurried out. However, when the door was closed, out of curiosity, he glanced inside. When he saw the scar under the corner of the man's eye, he was stunned. My legs were so frightened that I didn't dare to take another look. I closed the door in a hurry and ran downstairs.
For the sake of five taels of silver, the waiter told everything he knew. After finishing speaking, he cautiously glanced at Chu Jingqi, who had always been cold.
Seeing this, Gan Song took out another two taels of silver and gave it to him, saying, "My young master is hungry. Go and prepare some food."
Most of the troops stopped and set up camp on the outskirts of the city. Only Chu Jingqi, Gan Song and three young generals who had followed Chu Jingqi for several years entered the county.
The five of them ordered twelve dishes, cut ten kilograms of roast beef, three roast chickens, five kilograms of soju, and ten bowls of Northwest's famous spicy noodles.
While feasting, General Qian sighed, "It's been so many years since I've eaten soy noodles, and it still tastes like it was when I was a kid."
General Qian's hometown is in the northwest. However, after his parents died when he was ten years old, he wandered to the capital. Later, he joined the army. After many life and death experiences, he was transferred by Chu Xuanyu to Chu Jingqi as a junior deputy general. Later, he immediately fought against the Tatars. After achieving great merit, he was promoted to a minor general, with 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
This time, Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan were suddenly assassinated by the dead men of the Zhao family. Chu Jingqi was seriously injured. If Rong San had not come to help, he would have been killed by the dead men of the Zhao family.
Therefore, after Chu Jingqi's more than 20 junior generals heard that Chu Jingqi was coming to attack the Zhao family, they all raised their hands to come together.
Deep down in their hearts, they all wanted to annihilate the Zhao family and avenge their prince and princess.
But as a small Zhao family, there was no need for all the young generals in the army. Chu Jingqi chose six of them, two of whom were from the northwest, General Qian, and a young general named Lin. , also from the Northwest.
General Lin was on the outskirts of the city and did not follow. However, he told General Qian to pack him a portion of steamed noodles.
The two of them followed Chu Jingqi and traveled all over the country for more than ten years. They had not had the spicy noodles in the northwest for a long time and wanted to eat them.
Gan Song smiled and said, "If you want to eat, just buy a jar of saozi sauce and a few packages of noodles from the store. If you want to eat, you can cook it anytime."
General Qian clapped his hands happily and said, "I'll go find the store to discuss it right now."
"Why are you in a hurry? Let's finish our meal before we go." Another young general named Qin stopped him, "If you go now, when you come back, all the beef and delicacies on this table will go into my stomach. ”
General Qin was tall and thick, powerful and majestic. He was half a head taller than Chu Jingqi. According to modern measurements, he was more than two meters tall. Another young general named Jiang was only 1.55 meters tall, the tallest of all The shortest among the generals, the two stood together like an adult leading a child. General Qin was strong and could eat. He could eat a large bowl of rice in one breath. He could eat four or five bowls of steamed noodles in one breath. Therefore, all the food on the table he mentioned went into his stomach. It was really true. No joke.
General Qian sat down again.
After one stick of incense, a group of people were satiated. General Qian also bought a jar of saozi sauce and a large bag of noodles as he wished. He also bought six large bowls of noodles and ten kilograms of beef for the others. The three young generals ate.
A group of people walked out of the restaurant, loaded up their bags, got on their horses, and headed straight to the outskirts of the city.
When Chu Jingqi arrived at the Chu family's military camp, she saw a group of officers standing in front of the camp, and four ministers in various official colors standing in front of his camp, saying something to General Lin.
The soldiers guarding outside the camp had sharp eyes. When they saw them, they hurriedly came over and bowed down and whispered, "The prince is the magistrate, county magistrate, chief registrar, and historian of Xinyang County. I heard that the prince is here. They rushed over to pay their respects to the prince.”
After Xiao Bing finished speaking, several ministers also saw Chu Jingqi, and hurriedly ran over and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty Cheng Wanli (Ye Dakui, Wu Mian, Jiang Guoan) has seen the Crown Prince, Wan Fu for the Crown Prince .”
"Okay, let's all get up." Chu Jingqi frowned and walked into the tent.
General Lin followed him in and said, "I've been here for a while. I heard that you went into the city to eat. I wanted to go in to look for you, but I was stopped by my subordinates."
Knowing that the prince hates being disturbed by strangers when eating, how could he let this group of blind people disturb the prince's appetite?
General Lin wanted to say something else, but Cheng Wanli and others followed him in. He smiled and invited Chu Jingqi to live in the county government office, "This camp is simple and crude, and it's still cold at night. How can I let the prince here?" The county government office happens to be vacant. Although the place is small, it is repaired every year. The utensils are complete and the bedding is new. It is more comfortable than living in a tent. "
Several faces that smiled like Maitreya Buddha made Chu Jingqi's eyebrows frown even more tightly. He said coldly, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for your kindness. However, I have long been used to living in tents, so I don't think there is anything wrong with it." Convenient.”
On the contrary, those unfamiliar beds and unfamiliar bedding made him feel even more inconvenient.
"Ah..." Cheng Wanli, who didn't expect Chu Jingqi to refuse, looked blank. Then he came to his senses and wanted to persuade him, but was scolded by General Lin, "Master Cheng, the prince has been tired all the way. Now, It’s time to rest. If Master Cheng has anything to do, please come back tomorrow.”
Immediately and rudely, an eviction order was given.
Displeasure flashed through Cheng Wanli's heart, but he was just a small seventh-grade sesame officer, and he did not dare to look at Chu Jingqi's capable subordinate. He stiffened his face and said with a smile, "Then the prince is resting, and I will go ahead first." Resigned. ”
The four ministers hurriedly retreated.
Chu Jingqi looked at General Lin and said, "You can go down too. I bought some noodles and beef. You can eat them too. When you're done, come to my camp to discuss things."
"I obey my orders."
