Chapter 205 Confusion
"General, I didn't say anything, I just... just said... "
Sun Yuan didn't know how to start. After all, which man would like to hear that he is not good enough?
Seeing that he was hesitating, Qi Shuo pushed him a little and asked in a low voice, "What did you say?"
"That is to say, you...at your age, it's time for you to get married and stay at home!" Sun Yuan said guiltily.
"Is that all you said?" Qi Shuo was a little unconvinced.
"There are some things, that is... that is... you can't focus all your energy on official duties! You still have to take care of your family affairs, such as taking a concubine? To relieve your emotions?" Sun Yuan said very tactfully.
However, Qi Shuo understood.
It turns out that the reason they said they couldn’t do this was because of this!
Qi Shuo really didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh.
"General... I have a big mouth. I say whatever comes to my mind. Please don't take it seriously!" Sun Yuan apologized quickly.
"Talk less nonsense in the future and do more serious work in the army! You're making the soldiers panic." Qi Shuo scolded him helplessly.
Sun Yuan nodded immediately and said flatteringly, "Okay, General, I will never do it again next time. Please don't punish me!"
Seeing Sun Yuan like this, Qi Shuo sighed and said, "Hey! That's enough! These are just trivial matters. I won't argue with you!"
When Sun Yuan heard this, he felt a little relieved. The general said he didn't care, so he definitely didn't care. So he didn't have to worry.
Seeing Qi Shuo was so easy to talk to, Sun Yuan asked a few more questions: "General, you are so happy today, is there any happy event in your family?"
Qi Shuo glanced at Sun Yuan, the big mouth. He didn't dare to say anything to Sun Yuan, lest the whole military camp know about his affairs.
"Okay! Let's get down to business! Don't interrupt!" Qi Shuo said in a deep voice.
"Oh!...Then let's talk about business..." Sun Yuan felt a little disappointed that he didn't get any gossip.
Qi Shuo began to instruct Sun Yuan to deploy some border defenses. Shanzhou was short of manpower now. Even though the British had dispatched 10,000 troops for emergency response, it was still weaker than before. Naturally, they had to be doubly cautious in border defense.
After listening to Qi Shuo's plan, Sun Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, General. I will definitely handle this matter well."
"Okay then! Go ahead and do it! If anything comes up, please report to the General's Mansion at any time."
Although Sun Yuan is a bit gossipy, he is efficient and Qi Shuo can trust him.
After Qi Shuo finished explaining everything, he got up and was about to leave.
Seeing that he was leaving after only being here for a short time, Sun Yuan asked, "General, are you going back to the General's Mansion tonight?"
"Hmm!" Qi Shuo just replied lightly and walked away.
Sun Yuan looked at the hurried figure and felt that there must be something fishy!
There must be someone or something in the general's mansion that is trying to seduce the general.
Sun Yuan guessed this way, but this matter had little to do with him, and at most it was just a topic of conversation after dinner.
But this time, he definitely wouldn't say anything nonsense, lest the general find out and scold him again.
……
Qi Shuo rode back to the general's mansion at full speed. It was already dark by then, and everyone in the mansion must have gone to bed.
Qi Shuo didn't want to disturb anyone, so he returned home quietly and went to his own yard, intending to take the military affairs back for approval.
Wu Li saw Qi Shuo and asked, "General, why are you back so late?"
Qi Shuo just said calmly: "Well! Don't worry about me, just go to sleep!"
Wu Li watched Qi Shuo go away, but still found a way to follow him.
Qi Shuo was working on military affairs by lamplight, while Wu Li came in with a bowl of glutinous rice balls and said to Qi Shuo, "General, can you give me some more approval?"
"Put it down and go out!" Qi Shuo said without even raising his eyes.
Wu Li came here dressed up, but the general didn't even look at her.
Wu Li was a little angry, but she didn't dare to disobey Qi Shuo. She put down the dumplings in her hand and said, "Then General, remember to eat something to fill your stomach, and don't be too tired!"
"understood!"
Wu Li looked at the busy man and walked out the door, but she did not go far. Instead, she waited in the yard.
She added a little medicine into the bowl of glutinous rice balls.
She is already this old now. If she doesn't take a chance, when will she be able to get what she wants?
However, Wu Li waited for most of the night and heard no movement from inside. She couldn't help feeling a little strange, so she looked out the window and found that the dumplings on the table had not been touched at all.
Wu Li was a little tired, thinking that the dumplings had been sitting there for so long that they might have gone cold. The general probably wouldn't eat them.
Wu Li was a little angry that her plan had failed, but there was nothing she could do. She could only go back to her room to rest. She could only continue to look for opportunities later. The general had been staying at home for so long these days, so there must be a chance.
However, Wu Li was not thorough enough in doing things. She thought Qi Shuo would not touch the bowl of dumplings again. But in the second half of the night, after Qi Shuo finished his military work, he felt a little hungry and remembered the dumplings left by Wu Li on the table.
He picked up the glutinous rice balls. Although they were a little cold, he was not picky and finished them in just a few bites.
If it were an ordinary day, he would definitely be able to tell the medicine added to the glutinous rice dumplings, but this was at home, Wu Li had served him for many years, and the medicine was added to the sugar filling of the glutinous rice dumplings, so the smell was not that strong, and for a moment he could not tell it apart.
It was not until he lay on the bed and began to feel hot that she realized something was wrong.
He is full of passion. For so many years, he has never been involved with women, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have passion.
At this moment, the first person that Qi Shuo thought of was Cheng Wenwen. The crazy thoughts in his mind drove him to find Cheng Wenwen.
But reason stopped her.
She is so pure and clean. I can't go to find her now, it will scare her.
In the battle between fire and reason, reason finally defeated Qi Shuo. Qi Shuo chose to go to the fish tank in the yard and wet himself with water to achieve the effect of cooling down.
But the water was not cold at all, and pouring it on him did not extinguish the fire at all. Even after all the water in the tank was used up, Qi Shuo was still covered in flames. He didn't know how to vent, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
Wu Li knew that he was a marcher, so the drug she gave him was quite strong. In the end, Qi Shuo's sanity was wiped out and he was left with only the flames of passion.
Now, he only wants to see Cheng Wenwen, he wants Cheng Wenwen.
It was late at night and in the dead of night, Qi Shuo opened the door and went to Cheng Wenwen's yard.
……
Cheng Wenwen was still sleeping at this moment. Suddenly, there was a knock on the courtyard door, but it did not wake her up. Instead, it woke up Pei'er who was sleeping in the side room.
Pei Er heard the sound and asked, "Who is it? Knocking on the door so late?"
"It's me! Qi Shuo!"
Even though Qi Shuo was confused, he still had a trace of consciousness and could tell that this was not Cheng Wenwen's voice.
It seemed as if Cheng Wenwen's voice and appearance had been engraved in his heart.
When Pei'er heard the general's voice, she immediately opened the door and saw the general standing outside with disheveled hair and soaking wet body.
Pearl was startled and quickly closed the door again, then ran into the house to call the lady.
