Chapter 367 What's the Lord in such a hurry to do?
Mei Ruhua glanced at Lord Sikong with disgust and said coldly, "Go ahead and ask! Today I'll expose your despicable and lewd true colors! When I see His Majesty the Northern Emperor, I will definitely expose you!"
Mei Ruhua turned angrily to look at Zhu Si and Meng Benbo who were walking in, and was about to ask a question when Lord Sikong's voice rang out—
"Lord Zhu, how many times have I told you not to read these kinds of books in the barracks? Why don't you listen? I've confiscated them for your own good. Otherwise, if your subordinates saw you like this, what would become of the military prestige and image of my Sikong Jin Army? I just took a look, and the content of this book is truly inappropriate. Considering this is your first offense, I'll let you off this time, but you can't do it again! By the way, what brings you all here? What brings you here? Please come and sit down. It's quite cold outside, warm yourself by the fire. Lord Zhu, is your hand feeling any better? Deputy General Meng, your ear still hurts, is your hemorrhoids better...?"
At this moment, Lord Sikong had transformed into a kind and considerate superior who cared deeply for his subordinates, his clear eyes filled with concern and gentleness.
As she spoke, she had already tucked the book she was holding back into her sleeve and sat down calmly.
Zhu Si was completely confused and couldn't understand what was going on. He stared at Lord Sikong with wide eyes, responding with a few "Huh? Huh?" Lord Sikong ignored him, turned around, poured himself a cup of tea, took a few sips, picked up a map from the side, and began to examine it.
"My lord, I do not have hemorrhoids!"
Meng Benbo glared at Lord Sikong and replied.
"Oh, I don't remember any of the three of you. Who was it?"
Lord Sikong then touched his nose and replied.
"not me!"
"It's not me either!"
"I don't have that thing!"
"So who got it?"
"Who knows? It certainly wasn't me!"
"It definitely couldn't be me!"
"Meng Benbo, it must be you, right? I noticed you haven't changed your underwear for half a month!"
"Damn it, you're the one who's wrong! I just changed mine yesterday!"
……
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, stop arguing!"
The Minister of Works, somewhat exasperated, tried to smooth things over, saying calmly, "Whoever got it knows it themselves! Don't try to argue here! Deputy General Meng, what business do you have with me?"
Hearing Lord Sikong's words, the argument subsided. Meng Benbo glared at Zhu Si, very angry.
"My lord, I just went with Fatty to check on the various camps and found that many soldiers have caught colds because they can't withstand the severe cold. The medicines we prepared for the army are almost used up. We must prepare another batch of medicines, otherwise the soldiers will not be able to withstand it if this continues."
Meng Benbo then gave a serious report.
"Yes, sir. We've been busy traveling, and with this rain and snow, not to mention the soldiers, even our warhorses are struggling. We're not far from Hanyang City, which is now under the control of His Majesty the Northern Emperor. I suggest we head straight to Hanyang City and make further plans after we replenish our medicine and rations."
Zhu Si also responded.
"What did the army doctor say?"
Lord Sikong frowned, looked up from the map, and gazed at the two people in front of him.
"The army doctor's advice is that adults should prepare plenty of medicinal herbs, rest for a few days, and continue their journey once the soldiers' condition has improved."
Listening to this, Lord Sikong couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Indeed, they had been traveling through wind and snow almost the entire way. Not to mention the soldiers, even she herself was finding it hard to keep up. After several days, she felt exhausted and even had the urge to catch a cold.
After thinking for a moment, she looked down at the map in her hand. It wasn't far from Hanyang City, but Emperor Beizun wasn't there. He was near the Jiangxi Fortress, and General Feng Yang seemed to be in Ningzhou City. Would the garrison of Hanyang City let their army in so easily? They might just treat them as enemy troops and attack them directly! She hadn't reported her whereabouts to Emperor Beizun when she came!
If we could get into the city, that would be even better; we could ask him for anything we needed anyway.
She paused for a moment, staring at a point on the map for a long time, her delicate brows furrowed. Suddenly, a bright idea flashed through her mind, and her hand instinctively reached for her chest. A warm, moist current flowed clearly from her palm into her body, and her eyes lit up instantly!
perhaps……
Does this work?
Thinking of this, a faint look of joy flashed in Lord Sikong's eyes. He put away the map in his hand and turned to look at the group.
"I understand. Tomorrow afternoon, once the snow has subsided, lead the army directly to Hanyang City. When you arrive at the city gate, do not enter the city yet; wait for my instructions. Deputy General Mei, you will temporarily handle military affairs on my behalf."
As Lord Sikong spoke, he tucked the map into his sleeve and suddenly stood up.
"Then, sir, where are you going?"
The group looked at Lord Sikong, who had already stood up and was taking a cloak and putting it on, with some surprise, and asked him in confusion.
Lord Sikong deftly donned his cloak and then a heavy overcoat, striding towards the door. "I am, of course, going to handle some very confidential matters. I cannot tell you casually. Just carry out my orders."
"Sir, when did you return? What orders did you give us, sir! Sir!"
Before Mei Ruhua could finish speaking, Lord Sikong's figure had already disappeared outside the door, his hurried manner as if he were rushing to be reincarnated.
Thinking of what he had just witnessed, he couldn't help but curse, "That damned official! Judging from his eager look, he must be rushing off to do something!"
She'd fallen for his trick again. She'd originally intended to confiscate those pornographic books, but his claim of confiscating them from Zhu Si was a lie. She'd discovered the adults were secretly reading them a few days ago!
Are all men like this?
"What's the rush, sir?"
"What lewd thing are you going to do, sir?"
Mei Ruhua's words puzzled Meng Benbo and Zhu Si.
Mei Ruhua glared at the two of them and said coldly, "Who knows if he's done anything lewd!"
After saying that, she turned around angrily and walked outside without looking back.
