18. Leave it to me
Li Hao said: "This is something we can't control, but I believe in the captain's character, he said that he would ask for credit for us, then he will." β
After glancing at Li Hao, YΓ‘rvis stood at the mouth of the tent and looked into the distance, how much he wanted to see Darcy coming over now, because that would mean that he had already taken credit for them.
But a long time had passed, and as it slowly grew dark, Jarvis, who was standing at the mouth of the tent, was still standing there, still waiting for Darcy to come to them. But after waiting for so long, he didn't come, and there was a heavy sense of loss in his eyes.
"Yalvis, let's go eat, don't look any further." Li Hao saw that he had been standing for a day, so he went over to pull him.
"Do you think we're going to be a stepping stone for him?" Jarvis asked suddenly.
Li Hao understood what he meant, and said, "If that's really the case, don't worry, we will make him pay the price in the future." β
"Li Hao, don't you understand, why am I standing here waiting for news?" Yalvis asked heavily.
Li Hao understood that he now wanted to find someone to talk to him and let him confide in his inner pain.
Li Hao nodded.
Jarvis said: "Since I was a child, my father has constantly whispered in my ears that the hope of family revival falls on me, and I have also listened to my father's words, always trying to make myself stronger, so that I can lead the family back into the ranks of nobles, I continue to practice every day, every day. But when I entered Mick Academy. I realized that strength alone is not enough, you must have rights. No matter how strong he is, he is not the bodyguard of those nobles, unless he is the kind of peerless powerhouse. β
"That's why I'm here, I want to develop in the army, to make contributions in the army, so that I can slowly become very powerful. It will bring my family back to its glory. β
β¦β¦
It was already late at night, and Li Hao helped the drunk Jarvis back to the tent. Tonight, Yalvis didn't wait for Darcy to come back, so he drank a lot and talked a lot.
Li Hao gently put him on the bed. Looking at his appearance, he sighed, and then turned and walked out of the tent.
Standing outside, Li Hao looked at the dark night sky and said, "Why did I come here, why did I get involved in so many complicated things, family?" Is family really that important? β
Today he listened to Yalvis complaining, listening to how much he had done for the family, and he thought of the Martin family. The people of Martin's family also buried him alive for the sake of the family.
β»β»β»
The next day, Li Hao and the others got up early. And began to pack their bags and go back, they had already thought that since they could only eat white food if they stayed here, it was better to go back to the academy in style.
As they left the tent with their luggage on their backs, a voice rang out.
"Where are you going? The Great General wants to see you. β
Looking back, it was Vera who had greeted their convoy yesterday. He stood not far from the tent with a serious expression on his face.
As soon as Yalvis heard this, he said. He understood what he meant, and said, "We just want to set up a tent in a different place." I didn't sleep well last night. β
Vera nodded and said, "Then come with me, the general is waiting for you in the Chinese military camp, hurry up, his temper is not very good, slow down, you have a hard life to eat." β
"Oh, right away." Everyone threw off their luggage one after another.
Vera took Li Hao and they walked towards the middle camp of the barracks, and they could see the soldiers in the barracks practicing with each other along the way. The military camp here is very different from the military camp in the imperial capital, first of all, the momentum, the soldiers here, everyone will be more or less murderous.
Li Hao asked Vera suspiciously: "Sir, I want to ask, I think the strength of your soldiers here is similar to that of the imperial capital, why do you make me feel a little suffocated here?" ββ¦
Vera turned around and said, "Who are they compared to us?" Hum. It was clear from his tone that he had a strong disdain for the troops stationed in the imperial capital.
Jarvis pulled Li Hao at this time and motioned for him not to ask this question. Although Li Hao didn't understand why he did this, out of trust in him, Li Hao didn't ask again.
"This is the camp of the Chinese army, when you go in, be careful when you speak, our general has a really weird temper."
Vera is the second time to talk about this general's temper today, and it can be seen that the general's temper is really weird, and Li Hao's heart is also up and down.
"Grandma's, those bastards haven't come yet, Lao Tzu has eaten breakfast, and they made me wait so long, they don't want to live, Lao Tzu saw them, it was to give them face, they fucking shameless."
As soon as Li Hao walked to the door, he heard a person inside shouting and scolding. Listening to the voice, you can tell that this person is also very old.
"It's over, the general is angry, you can do it yourself." Vera then turned back to them and said.
Li Hao and the others glanced at each other and expressed their helplessness.
At this time, Li Hao and the others walked into the Chinese army camp amid the insults of the general inside.
As soon as you step into the camp, you can see that there are two rows of chairs on both sides of the camp, there is a large open space in the middle, and in front of the middle sits an old man, who should be the general that Vera said.
"Here, hehe, you people are so weird, I don't scold you, you won't come, it's really cheap." When the old general saw them come in, he sneered.
The camp is not very big, Li Hao and they heard it clearly, and they were very helpless about it.
After entering, standing in the open space in the middle, I saw the face of this old general with a very strange temper clearly. I saw that he was full of silver hair, his face was wrinkled, and he was wearing a set of black battle armor, and he looked like a mighty general from a distance, and he looked like a tenacious old man up close.
"You are the ones who have the merit in this transport?" The old general asked, when he saw them come in.
Jarvis was the first to reply: "It's just a small achievement, the main thing is that all the warriors of the convoy fend off the robbers together." β
The old general nodded. Said: "That's right, the credit should belong to all the fighters, since you said so." Go down, and I'll reward all the people this time. β
Yalvis wanted to slap his mouth once at this time, he just wanted to be modest in front of the old general, but he didn't expect the old general to really climb the pole.
Li Hao and the others were also very surprised, they all heard that what Jarvis said just now was modest, he didn't hear it so much, this old general really can't think with ordinary people's thinking.
"You're still not leaving? I'm not going to invite you to dinner. The old general said suddenly.
Jarvis was in a quandary. To go or not to go, to come. It means that they are busy in vain this time, and if they don't leave, how can they ask for credit?
Li Hao: They think the same way.
"Yo, you really want me to treat you to dinner. Don't think about it, I never invite a bunch of little ones to dinner, and I don't want to leave quickly. The old general looked distant.
At this time, Li Hao had a flash of inspiration, smiled on his face, walked out, and said, "Since the old general is unwilling to invite us little guys to dinner, it is better for us little guys to invite the old general to dinner." β
When the old general heard this, he was very happy in his heart. But his face couldn't be too obvious, and he said, "Hmph, invite me to dinner?" The beauty of thinking. It's hard for me to please. But in his heart, he was thinking, "Hehe, finally someone has come to the Tao." β
When Li Hao heard this, the old general did not immediately reject him, indicating that his guess was correct, and said with a smile: "That's really a pity, we originally wanted to eat at dinner." I want to hear about the old general's affairs when he was young, so that we can learn and learn. But ......" one eye was on him. β¦
"If you want to listen to my romance, one meal is not good, at least three meals, wrong, it is three days." The old general said.
Li Hao thought to himself: "This old general is really funny, he is still fighting for these things when he is old, and he is still a general, I really don't know, I thought he was asking for food." He said, "The old general just agreed, and I'll go back and prepare." β
"Wait a minute, I have a habit of eating, I don't like to eat what is sold outside." The old general saw that Li Hao was going out to prepare, and suddenly reminded.
"Hehe, I understand." After Li Hao smiled, he left the Chinese army camp with the rest of the people.
"Li Hao, you can really do it, how can you get that old guy done it all at once." After coming out, Mike asked.
"It's nothing, just now he kept repeating that he would eat, explicitly saying that I would not invite you to dinner, but in fact, secretly meant to let him be invited to dinner outside." Li Hao replied.
"He's really, if you want us to invite him to dinner, let's just say it clearly, and deliberately say that." Jarvis rubbed his head, he was still angry just now.
"Let's go, let's go prepare the ingredients, the old general wants us to make it ourselves, and we'll have to trouble Kai Rui later, fortunately we have a top chef." Li Hao smiled and looked at Ma Sidao behind him.
Maas patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me." β
β»β»β»
At noon, Li Hao and the others prepared a very rich meal in their tent.
Standing outside the tent, Yalvis suddenly shouted, "It's coming." Li Hao and the others immediately came out of the tent and welcomed the old general.
"Well, that's good." When the old general walked into the tent, he saw that the table was full of various dishes, and he was very satisfied.
This old general is really personal, before Li Hao could do it, he began to eat the dishes on the table, and said while eating: "This dish is mine, and this, ah, why is this so delicious, you are not allowed to move it,......"
After Li Hao and the others were served, they basically didn't move their mouths, and they were all watching the old general eat.
Jarvis thought to himself, "How did he get to this position?" β
Li Hao thought to himself: "Hey, it's really embarrassing for the soldiers." β
Mike thought to himself, "This man must be a rice bucket." β
Sirui thought to herself, "I must eat like him in the future." "Adoring eyes.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"It's so comfortable to eat, by the way, who makes these dishes?" After the rice was packed, the old general touched his stomach and asked.
Li Hao threw a look at Maas, and Maas immediately replied: "General, I did it." β
The old general looked at him affectionately and said, "Your food is so delicious, you will come to our military camp to be a chef in the future, and I will give you the position of head chef, what do you think?" β
"Ah......h He wanted to be a general on the battlefield, but he didn't want to be a chef.
Maas's eyes looked at Li Hao, who was sitting opposite. After Li Hao saw his eyes asking for help, he said to the old general: "Old general, this is not good. β
Old General: "Why? β
Li Hao: "You know one. I don't know the other two. Although Kai Rui has good cooking skills, he also has a bad problem, that is, he can't distinguish between the good and bad dishes and the combination of dishes. Last time, we ate Kairui's dish and pulled our stomachs for one night. β
Old General: "Really? β
Li Hao: "Really, if you don't believe it, you can ask the rest of our transport team that night." Our entire convoy had diarrhea. β
Li Hao suddenly thought of the scene of taking laxatives that night.
The old general looked at Maas with suspicion. sighed: "Hey, it's a pity that one talent! β
After Li Hao heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "This old general is really not easy to fool. β
"I'm done eating. It's time for me to go, too. The old general said that he was about to get up. β¦
This can't work, Li Hao's purpose is not just to invite him to a meal, it's as simple as that. The main purpose is to take credit for this transport.
Li Hao immediately walked over, he knew in his heart that it was better to deal with the old general directly. "Old general, look, you've eaten all your meals, shouldn't you say what credit we have received this time?"
"Another work? What else? How did I not know? "The old general started to do Tai Chi again.
Li Hao knew he would do this. He said in a solemn tone: "Old general, this is not good, we have invited you to this meal." In fact, it is a bribe for you, since you have accepted the bribe, then you have to do something! β
When Yalvis next to him heard Li Hao's words, he was shocked and immediately stepped forward to grab him, and the others also showed frightened eyes.
Li Hao doesn't care about this. He has his own considerations.
"What? I had a meal, and I was bribed. It's the funniest joke I've ever heard. "The old general did not get angry.
Li Hao continued: "Old general. You're not trying to pay off, are you? He looked at him with a look of contempt.
"Am I in debt? Jokes, I never pay off my bills, since you said that I was bribed by you, then when I was bribed, don't you want to be rewarded? I'll send it to you tomorrow morning. β
After speaking, he swaggered out, and said as he walked: "Grandma's, she has lived for such a long time, and she has been calculated by a few little dolls." β
After the old general left, Yalvis quickly stepped forward and said, "Li Hao, you were really in danger just now!" β
Li Hao smiled and said, "It's nothing? Actually, I've been thinking about why the old general asked us to invite him to dinner today, and suddenly it occurred to me that the old general had actually figured out how to reward us, but he wanted to deliberately make things difficult for us. So I stepped on his thoughts. β
Outside the tent, Vera walked up to the old general and asked, "General, how's it going?" β
The old general smiled: "That guy named Li Hao, wait for him to graduate, give me a way to get him to our legion." β
Vera laughed, "Yes." β
Mick City, the capital of the Mick Empire.
"Ah...... I'm finally back." Under the walls, Mike exclaimed.
Li Hao and the others were rewarded the day after they had dinner with the old general, and the reward was not very high, but this was very important to them.
"Sri, don't look at it, it's been more than ten days, you still haven't seen enough?"
Sri has been giggling with a medal that was given to him for the past few days.
"Li Hao, leave him alone, that kid, I know, a tendon." Mike said to Li Hao.
"I'm not afraid of him, I'm really stupid."
At this time, Yalvis came over and said to everyone, "The imperial capital has arrived, what are your plans?" β
Abt said, "I don't have any plans, just go to the academy dormitory." β
Yaheng: "Me too. β
Baird: "I'm going to go home first." β
Maas: "I'm going to find some work and earn some living expenses." β
Mike: "Didn't you just get a generation of gold?" Do you still have to go to work? β
Maas: "That bag of gold coins, I want to give to my parents in the country." β
Mike: "......"
Li Hao: "It seems that everyone has their own business, so it's better for us to disperse now, tomorrow, we will gather at the gate of the academy and report to the Academic Affairs Office together." β
Everyone: "Okay." β
β»β»β»
Sima Mansion.
In Li Hao's cabin, "I can finally sleep well, I haven't slept well for more than 20 days." Li Hao was lying on the bed, his hands and feet wide open.
"Wait, do you want to meet the eldest lady first?"
Lie in bed. Li Hao suddenly thought of Aidan. But as soon as I thought of her, my mind came back to the scene of her wiping her sweat that night.
"Forget it. Let's go again tomorrow. ββ¦
β»β»β»
At night, Li Hao woke up from his deep sleep. He looked out the window, saw that it was already dark, and said, "I've slept all day." β
After getting out of bed, he walked out of the wooden house, stretched his waist, and said, "I haven't practiced for a long time." It's just idle now, so it's better to refine "Mixed Yuan" well. β
β¦β¦
Aidan's courtyard.
Aidan sat in her courtyard. The night was already deep, she hadn't fallen asleep yet, it wasn't that she didn't want to sleep, but that she was in a bad mood right now.
The reason started when she came back from the convoy.
After she came back that day. Her father scolded her deeply, saying that he would go out on his own without consulting his family, and that he insulted the Stephen family.
In the end, he also mentioned the matter of the Jones family, and Aidan made up a lot of words at that time, but her father finally said that he was giving her a year, and if the Jones family did not come to propose marriage, she would have to marry the second prince.
"Hey". Aidan sighed and walked back to her room.
The next day, Aidan went to the square outside the guardhouse as usual. When she walked to the edge of the square. I heard someone next to me say something. "Did you hear anything when you went to bed last night?"
"I heard it, and it was terrifying. I didn't even dare to go out. β
"Yes, I heard it too, and for a while the sound of water. After a while, the sound of trees pulling......"
"Did any of you see what it was?"
"I know." In the distance came a walkway.
"What's that?"
"I happened to be on duty last night, so I went to see it. Who knew that I was startled, and saw a figure flying towards me, so fast, I thought it was a thief, and when I was about to shout, the person called me, I took a closer look, and I saw clearly, it turned out to be Li Hao's kid back. β
"He's back." After hearing this, Aidan said secretly. Then she didn't go to the square, turned around and ran in the direction of the cabin where Li Hao lived.
When she came to the cabin, she pushed the door and went in, and found that the house was empty, Li Hao was not here, he had already left.
β»β»β»
At the gate of Mick Academy, Li Hao and his brothers gathered here and went to the Academic Affairs Office to report the mission.
"Li Hao, where do you live, I haven't asked you all along?" Mike asked.
Li Hao was shocked, how should I say this? Looking at them, Li Hao decided to be honest, they all bowed, and there were some things that they still had to let them know.
After a while, he said, "Actually, I have something to hide from you. β
Mike was stunned, and the others were the same, looking at him with surprise.
"Actually, I am a guard of the Stephen family, and I can enter Mick Academy because of the sponsorship of the Stephen family."
"Haha." At this time, Mike laughed: "I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be like this." β
Seeing them laughing, Li Hao relieved his nerves, he was really afraid, they would say that they were the dogs of the nobles.
"Okay, let's go, let's go check in, and then we'll have a good chat." Mike said.
"What are you talking about?"
"Of course it's Aidan!"
"She, what does she have to talk about?"
"Don't lie to me, you think when you were in the convoy, you looked, I looked, we didn't see it, we just didn't say it."
"You already saw that I knew her?"
"Hehe, secret."
In the blink of an eye, they came to the academic affairs office, ......knocked on the door a few times, and said, "Is there anyone inside?" After a while, a woman's voice came from inside, "Someone, come in." β
Pushing open the door and going inside, an acquaintance sat up inside. Li Hao was surprised: "Senior sister, why are you, what are you doing here?" "This woman is Wu Qingman.
Wu Qingman looked up and found that it was Li Hao, and said in surprise: "Why are you, you are back." β
Mike said, "Senior sister, do you still know us?" I'm so happy, I didn't expect my senior sister to be so capable, and she is studying in the Academic Affairs Office. When Mike saw that it was Wu Qingman, his lewd smile was very bright.
"Hehe, I know that my senior sister is amazing, I have help in many school offices."
"That is, don't look at the wisdom and appearance of our senior sister, how outstanding it is." Mike's flattery is still endless.
"That's a nice thing to say, by the way, you're here to report to the school for this mission, right?"
Li Hao was just about to speak, but Mike preemptively said: "Senior sister is really the spokesperson of the goddess of wisdom, and you can know the purpose of our coming with a casual guess." β
Li Hao really couldn't listen to it anymore, he touched Jarvis next to him and said, "Pull him out, otherwise, we will all stand here." (To be continued)
