"Could it be that Ruo Zhong is…"
In the camp, Sun Jian stared at the jade seal with wide eyes and then at Baili Ming in surprise.
Although he restrained his words, he was still surprised in his heart.
Seeing Sun Jian like this, Baili Ming smiled and said,
"This item is indeed as my lord thought!"
"It was lost when Dong Zhuo entered the capital that day. It is fine if the lord knows its name, but do not make it known.”
"At this moment, our army is still in Luoyang. Be careful that the walls have ears!”
Sun Jian's mouth tightened when he heard this.
The words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back.
He finally understood why Baili Ming was so careful!
Because this thing was hot!
Once the dukes found out, they would probably not be able to sleep well tonight!
The military counselor was still the most reliable!
As he thought to himself, he asked curiously,
"Ruo Zhong, where did you get this?”
Seeing that Sun Jian had finally calmed down, Baili Ming told him everything that had happened today.
Of course, he skipped over some unimportant details.
Sun Jian listened carefully. When he heard that Baili Ming had been assassinated, his body trembled. He quickly grabbed Baili Ming and sized him up.
"Ruo Zhong is not injured, right?"
Feeling Sun Jian's concern, Baili Ming couldn't help but feel warmth in his heart. He shook his head and smiled,
"Don't worry, my lord. Ming has learned some sword techniques. Although he can't go into battle to kill the enemy, it's fine for him to fight ordinary enemies!”
"Ruo Zhong also knows swordsmanship?"
Sun Jian was surprised when he heard this, but he soon calmed down.
That's right, what did Ruo Zhong not know!
He could even roast meat and brew wine to the extreme, so it was not surprising that he knew some sword techniques.
But at the same time, he cursed,
"This Zu Darong is always boasting to me. If something really happens, he's really unreliable!”
"He can't even protect the army!”
Seeing Sun Jian ridicule Zu Mao, Baili Ming laughed again,"
"My lord, it's not General Zu's fault today. I was too worried!”
When Sun Jian heard this, he smiled and said,"
"Fortunately, Ruo Zhong is amiable. Otherwise, I would have taught this fool a lesson.”
With a smile, his expression became serious again.
"Since that old palace maid served the Eldest Princess, then this item should have been hidden by the Eldest Princess that day.”
"This item is so important. Why don't we find an opportunity to escape?”
"Absolutely not!"
Hearing that Sun Jian was about to leave, Baili Ming shook his head and said,
"If we leave now, we will give ourselves away.”
"The alliance is probably about to fall apart. It won't be too late for us to leave after the other dukes leave first!”
"In addition, these few days, my lord can go and ask those old ministers to see if anyone is willing to leave with us!”
When Sun Jian heard this, he couldn't help but say,"
"It's fine to leave later, but what's the use of these old ministers?”
"Of course it's useful!"
Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"It's still the same word, prestige!"
"Among these old ministers, there are many famous Confucian generals like Duke Cai, Duke Huangfu, and Duke Lu. If they are willing to follow our army, they will definitely increase the prestige of our army!”
"I see!"
Sun Jian hurriedly nodded and said,
"I was worried too much."
He pondered for a while and said,"
"Speaking of retreating, I have another concern.”
"Yesterday, our army attacked Dong Zhuo and obtained a large amount of gold and silver. Today, with the protection of the officials, the dukes didn't notice.”
"But if our army withdraws, it will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of the dukes.”
"Ruo Zhong, see if there's any way to hide this gold and silver.”
Upon hearing this, Baili Ming smiled proudly and said,"
"I have already considered the matter that my lord is worried about. It is easy for the dukes to not have any disloyalty!”
"I have a method that will allow our army to benefit, and also make the dukes not doubt our gains!”
Seeing that Baili Ming had another idea, Sun Jian smiled and said,
"I knew that Military Advisor was far-sighted, but I thought too much. What solution do you have?
Seeing this, Baili Ming didn't keep him in suspense and said bluntly,"
"It's not difficult to resolve this matter. Dong Zhuo moved the capital in a hurry and only took the valuable gold and silver from the palace, but he still kept the books.”
"Although the dukes are still in Luoyang, they might not be interested in these books!”
"Our army can move all of them back to the camp. When we retreat, we can hide those supplies in these books and transport them away.”
"This way, there are four benefits.”
"Firstly, our army has been stationed for the past few days in the name of moving books. There should be something to do, and the dukes won't be suspicious.”
"Secondly, with the mountain of books in the palace as a cover, even if our army has more supplies, it won't attract too much attention from the dukes.”
"Third, that Cai Bo and the other great Confucians are people who love books. Our army can use this as a reason to invite these great Confucians to accompany us and revise the books.”
"I think that since these ministers can't enter the imperial court, they must be looking for something to do. With such a name, there's no need to worry about them not coming!”
"As for the fourth, these books are extremely precious…"
"Enough, enough!"
However, just as he said this, Sun Jian was already satisfied and said with a smile,
"These three points are enough!"
With that smile, he looked at Baili Ming curiously and said,
"In this world, what can stump Ruo Zhong!”
"There really is!"
Seeing this, Baili Ming thought for a moment and said with a serious expression.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Sun Jian quickly leaned over and asked curiously.
"Give birth to a child."
"Pfft…Hahaha…"
Sun Jian couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. As he laughed, he pointed at Baili Ming and said,"
"Is Ruo Zhong trying to make me laugh to death?!"
However, when Baili Ming saw this, he said with an aggrieved expression,"
"Lord, what you said is true. I really don't know how to give birth!”
However, this grievance caused Sun Jian to burst into laughter.
The laughter echoed outside the camp, causing the guards to look at each other.
What were the lord and the military counselor discussing?
Laughing like this!
However, the laughter in the tent did not last long.
Sun Jian finally stopped laughing. He hugged his aching abdomen and said,
"I finally understand. Ruo Zhong wants to start a family!”
Without waiting for Baili Ming to reply, he smiled and said,
"That's good too. I'll look around and find you a few beautiful wives and concubines. Then, you can have children.”
"Ah, this…"
Seeing Sun Jian getting serious, Baili Ming smiled bitterly.
This lord was good at everything, but he was too straightforward.
This was a joke, how could he be serious!
He hurriedly said,
"My Lord, don't be anxious. A real man doesn't have to worry about not having a wife. Ming was just joking!”
But when he said this, Sun Jian shook his head and said,"
"Ruo Zhong is joking, but I'm serious!”
"Ruo Zhong has been loyal to me until now. Other than some fame, I have nothing to repay him.”
"I think Ruo Zhong is also at the age of adulthood and should have a family!”
"I already have a plan. Don't refuse this matter anymore!”
The serious look on his face made him look like an elder of Baili Ming.
Of course, this was also true in terms of age.
Although Sun Jian was always calling him military advisor intimately, Sun Jian was already thirty-six years old this year. He was seventeen years younger than Baili Ming.
Being an elder was more than enough.
Seeing Sun Jian like this, Baili Ming couldn't refuse.
He only thought to himself that now that he already had Diao Chan in his tent, Sun Jian should not find a few useless people to stall him.
In that case, even if he was willing to cut himself into pieces, he would have to reject this matter!
However, Sun Jian was naturally unaware of this.
Seeing that Baili Ming no longer refused, he began to think about it.
What kind of woman should he find to be worthy of a talent like Ruo Zhong!
He heard that Cai Yong had two daughters, Zhao Ji and Zhen Ji. They were both talented and beautiful. If there was a chance, he could pull some strings.
As he was thinking, he sighed again.
What a pity.
His daughter was less than ten years old.
Otherwise, it would not be perfect to directly pull Baili Ming in as her son-in-law!
Eh?
Ten years old?
Would he be promoted in a few years?
Getting married at the age of fifteen seemed feasible!
As he thought of this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He rubbed his chin and began to size up Baili Ming.
He looked like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law.
When Baili Ming felt this gaze, his body couldn't help but tremble.
Damn it!
Old Sun, what's wrong with you?
Don't tell me he wants to recommend himself!
