[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 202 [English]

Chapter 194: Sound Sleep

Before Qiao Tianya left the house, Shen Zechuan said, “I’ll go back soon and tell Yuan Zhuo about the Liuzhou Port. We’ll talk about it in detail later. It’s been cold recently and the earth dragon in the house is going to burn up. Don’t let him get sick again.”

Qiao Tianya was more comfortable than Fei Sheng in front of Shen Zechuan and said, “Pay attention.”

Shen Zechuan thought for a while and said: “There are many people who have submitted invitations to see me this year, and they all want to find a future. Let’s block it for the next few days. We will wait until Yuan Zhuo recovers. You did a good job today. Yan Heru has ulterior motives. Don’t let him in next time.”

Qiao Tianya took out the folded paper from his sleeve, pushed it to Shen Zechuan, and said, “That’s why I’m here. There are many famous people who posted. Yuan Zhuo read them all carefully and wrote two lists for the master.”

“Two portions?” Shen Zechuan’s fingertips were warm, he brushed the paper away and read it.

“This one can be kept or not used,” Qiao Tianya pointed to the left, “This one can be kept or used.”

Shen Zechuan looked at the available positions. They were all well-known bachelors. Very few of these people could be used, because what China University of Science and Technology urgently needed now were hard workers.But these people came all the way to Cizhou to join Shen Zechuan. For the sake of reputation, Shen Zechuan could not be scornful and had to keep them in his house as guests of the Qing Dynasty.On the other hand, the other ones available are basically unknown characters.

“We will need a group of people after the spring,” Shen Zechuan said. “At that time, counting the talents selected by Zhou Gui, we will draw up a list for each state and arrange them all.”

Shen Zechuan plans to take back the remaining three states before spring so that he can catch up with spring plowing. Otherwise, he will definitely have to worry about food again at the end of the year.

Qiao Tianya responded when he heard the words. Hearing the footsteps under the eaves, he stood up and said with a smile: “The second master is back.”

After Xiao Fangxu left, Xiao Jiming was the Libei King. It was inappropriate to call Xiao Chiye “Second Young Master”, so he simply changed them all to Second Master.

Xiao Chiye stood still under the eaves. Chenyang and Gujin took off the cloak for him one by one. The maid next to him offered a hot handkerchief, and he wiped his hands with it.Ding Tao quickly opened the curtain, and Xiao Chiye leaned in.

Qiao Tianya and Fei Sheng got to know each other and were about to leave, but Xiao Chiye asked, “Where is Hai Rigu?”

Fei Sheng glanced sideways at Shen Zechuan, and seeing Shen Zechuan’s acquiescence, he replied: “If I go back to the second master, it will be in our Beiyuan campus.” He winked, and while bending down to take the handkerchief from Xiao Chiye’s hand, he said, “The master specially arranged for the Jin Yiwei to do daily counting to prevent them from running around.”

“Gujin,” Xiao Chiye looked back and said, “I’ll go to the Beiyuan campus to find Hai Rigu later.”

Shen Zechuan was sitting behind him, so Fei Sheng naturally wouldn’t ask too many questions.He saluted Xiao Chiye again and followed Qiao Tianya out.The master was inside, and the guards couldn’t stand under the eaves to say hello. A few of them stepped up in unison and went to the side corridor to discuss matters.

The room was very hot. Xiao Chiye took off his clothes and took off his knife. Shen Zechuan sat on a chair and looked at him.Xiao Chiye walked non-stop from the battle site to Bianbo Camp, and then from Bianbo Camp to Cizhou. Seeing this look in his eyes, he felt it was all worth it.He leaned over, completely blocking the chair with his body, and said, “Isn’t it light?”

Shen Zechuan still held the pen, and rubbed his fingertips along the smooth pen barrel a few times, as if he didn’t understand, and whispered: “Where are you kissing?”

Xiao Chiye raised his hand and pinched Shen Zechuan’s chin to prevent him from running away. He then leaned in and pressed him into the chair to kiss him.When Shen Zechuan tilts his neck up like this, his sliding Adam’s apple will be exposed, melting Xiao Chiye’s coldness in his mouth.He stopped writing, moved his hand up Xiao Chiye’s arm, and hung on Xiao Chiye’s neck when he was picked up.

There is no comfort in a lover’s kiss. It is a feeling that others can give. Only the dissatisfaction of desire revealed when asking for it is the real thing. This is the unique licking between lovers.Xiao Chiye needs this kind of secret and extreme dependence. It is his belonging and his territory.

Shen Zechuan was heated up by the kiss. Xiao Chiye put he on the table, held up his arms, and looked at him seriously.In less than a moment, Shen Zechuan’s flush swept up from his ears and quickly spread to the corners of his eyes.He seemed like he couldn’t stand Xiao Chiye. He couldn’t even stand such an aggressive gaze. It was another…incredible temptation.

The two people are obviously very familiar with each other, and they can find each other’s vital points with their eyes closed.But at this moment, Shen Zechuan would still be twitched by Xiao Chiye’s eyes, and the acceleration of his breathing caused fine beads of sweat to stick to his smooth back.

Xiao Chiye looked so dangerous, as if he could plunder Shen Zechuan like a storm if he unchained him.He needs Shen Zechuan so much, but he is extremely restrained.The breasts were like lava rushing under the thin ice, and Shen Zechuan felt the pain of pinching through his eyes.

This is the change brought about by abstinence.

Xiao Chiye kissed Shen Zechuan slowly, stretched out his arms and threw his robe into the chair, and said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

Shen Zechuan wiped off Xiao Chiye’s thin sweat, pulled away, and blinked to signal him to go ahead.

* * *

When Xiao Chiye came out again, he had changed into clean clothes.He was wiping his hair in the room and saw the box on the table. After opening it, it was the jade sent by Yan Heru.

Outside, Chen Yang was talking to Shen Zechuan and said, “I have to return to Bianbo Camp in three days, but the master will stay.”

Shen Zechuan seemed to be looking at the case and answered very slowly: “It will be February soon. Has the location of the racecourse to be built in Luoshan been selected?”

Xiao Chiye picked up a piece of red jade and rubbed it.

Chen Yang replied: “It has been selected. Construction can start after Duanzhou takes it back.”

Shen Zechuan said: “The new guns General Lu wants will be almost ready by the end of February. Then we will take the new horse road to avoid taking another detour.”

There were some tedious chores behind them. While Xiao Chiye was listening, he thought about the defensive battle a few days ago.

Xiao Chiye now leads the imperial army to guard Sha Second Battalion to replace Jiang Sheng’s vacancy.Both Guo Weili and Zhaohui were transferred back to the original camp, and the first battalion was guarded by Zuo Qianqiu and Lu Guangbai.Xiao Jiming’s intention for this arrangement was obvious, that is, the Libei Cavalry gave up the advance and relied on the two best defenders to meet Hasen’s attack. Libei completely switched from offense to defense.

Not only that, Xiao Jiming also made adjustments at the battle site. In the past, changing generals was equivalent to changing lines, and the cavalry in the battle camp also had to be changed.It was different now. Except for Zuo Qianqiu, the chief generals of the three battalions were stationary, and the other three had to rotate irregularly.This gave Guo Weili a headache. The soldiers he was used to leading no longer followed him. Zuo Qianqiu was still watching him when he was on defense, as if the chain had been shortened and stuck in his neck, making him feel uncomfortable all over.Xiao Chiye wanted to break away from the Forbidden Army and run in with the other two battalions of cavalry.Lu Guangbai even more, he had to get familiar with the cavalry and change his mind from standing on the ground… Everyone seemed to have their hands and feet tied and bumped together, and they were very unaccustomed to the beating.

But the effect is obvious.

Because the rotation is out of order, Hazen is not sure who his opponent is every time he attacks.Without Xiao Fangxu, the morale of the Libei Cavalry was indeed low, but the Biansha Cavalry also failed to achieve their goals.Hasen not only faced Zuo Qianqiu, who once guarded Tianfei Palace, but also had to be wary of the border garrison who would hide in the snow.

Hasen didn’t know what happened in Libei behind that wall, but victory did not arrive as expected, and the two sides fell into a more anxious stalemate.Here, Hassen finally learned how powerful Xiao Jiming was. The new Libei King was not even remotely similar to Xiao Fangxu. He seemed to be shrinking, but in fact, he drew a dead front on the east side, making it impossible for Hassen to advance even half a point.

Xiao Chiye put aside his distracting thoughts and closed the box again.

Chen Yang resigned, and Shen Zechuan was still writing something. The rustling of the pen and ink melted into the sound of snow.Xiao Chiye didn’t go out to disturb him. He knew that Shen Zechuan wanted to capture Yiwang before February and would go to the study to discuss the use of troops in detail later.He put the napkin aside and poured it into the quilt.

I don’t know if it was intentional or not.

When Shen Zechuan got up last night, he didn’t ask the maid to make the bed. Xiao Chiye seemed to be able to smell Shen Zechuan’s scent when he lay on it, which made him feel relaxed and could dispel the dull mood brought by the battle.

Xiao Chiye closed his eyes and fell asleep before his hair was dry.

Fei Shengyou came to call Shen Zechuan. Shen Zechuan withdrew from the case and said, “Open the window, it’s so boring.” When he got up, he thought of something and said, “Forget it, wait for me at the door.”

Fei Sheng bowed his head and exited.

Shen Zechuan stayed at his desk for too long and the back of his neck was sore.he opened the curtain inside and heard Xiao Chiye’s steady breathing after entering.

Xiao Chiye turned sideways, with half of his face sunk in the quilt, sleeping deeply, obviously tired for a long time.The injury on my shoulder hadn’t fully healed at that time, and I couldn’t feel any pressure now.Shen Zechuan leaned over and gently pulled open He’s collar to take a look. He was afraid that He would be crushed like this, so he pushed him over.

Xiao Chiye was stuffed in the quilt and didn’t wake up at all, so he just lay down and said: “Military intelligence report…”

Shen Zechuan leaned over and said in Xiao Chiye’s ear: “No military sentiment, just go to sleep.”

Xiao Chiye turned his face to the side to breathe without opening his eyes.Shen Zechuan lowered his fingers to wipe he’s sweat carefully and gently.Xiao Chiye caught the hand and held it in his palm without returning it.

Shen Zechuan murmured exhortantly: “I’ll be back soon.”

He used to speak like this in Qudu, and most of the time he was angry with Xiao Chiye, but now he speaks so lightly, caressing her like a soft feather, hundreds of Yan Ru can’t compare.

But Xiao Chiye didn’t let go.

Fei Sheng waited at the door for a long time and saw that it was getting dark again. If he delayed any longer, he was afraid that the wind and snow would get heavy at night and make Shen Zechuan catch a cold, so he hurried in and whispered through the door curtain: “Master, it’s almost time.”

Shen Zechuan paused for a moment and said, “You stop Yuan Zhuo first. There is no need to go to the Zhou Mansion. Come directly to my place, and then call someone to call Zhou Gui and Cheng Feng.”

Fei Sheng heard that he wanted to discuss things at home tonight, so he asked: “Then I invite you gentlemen to go to the side hall?”

Shen Zechuan sat on the edge of the bed without lighting a lamp and said, “Let’s talk outside, just keep it down.”

Fei Sheng nodded, knowing that “lower the voice” was the key, so before the gentlemen entered, he asked his subordinates to gently set up a screen in the hall and moved the discussion area to a corner.

Zhou Gui and Kong Ling did not see Shen Zechuan when they came in. They looked at each other in front of them. Fei Sheng hurriedly led them behind the screen softly, and said in a low voice: “The master is in the inner room.”

Kong Ling lowered his voice: “Second Master is here too?”

Fei Sheng nodded slightly, as if he was worried, and added: “Asleep.”

They were making tea when Qiao Tianya pushed Yao Wenyu over.Fei Sheng had already laid out mats in the house so that there would be no sound when the four-wheeler came in.Kong Ling looked at it and couldn’t help laughing, feeling that Fei Sheng was really a talent.

After sitting down, Yao Wenyu didn’t ask where Shen Zechuan was. He held the teacup lightly and said, “Shenwei’s message will be sent out today. There should be news in Fanzhou later. I have to trouble you to keep an eye on it.”

None of the three of us have loud voices, so we feel quite comfortable sitting around here.Zhou Gui nodded in agreement and said: “Fanzhou is trapped now. King Yi and Luoshan have not reached an agreement, and the soldiers under his command are unable to resist. I guess he is unlikely to fight to the death, but he will definitely take the opportunity to bargain with us.”

“It’s best if we don’t use soldiers.” Kong Ling was a man who suffered from war, so he was willing to be reasonable in everything. “When King Yi stood up, he boasted to the people of Fanzhou, but now that nothing has been accomplished, he should know that he is unable to resist.”

“I’m afraid that King Yi is willing, but the rest of his subordinates are not.” Yao Wenyu thought, and said, “The Fan and Deng states where King Yi sits are seriously infested with bandits, even worse than Chazhou. Among them, Cui Qing and other brothels who sell Liangjiazi are interfering. These people all know that surrender will lead to death.”

Shen Zechuan raised his hand to cover Xiao Chiye’s ears, listening to their conversation in the darkness.

Yao Wenyu was right. Shen Zechuan would not let go of these bandits and brothels in public or private affairs. The reason for the decline of Fan and Deng states was all on these people. They were the scourge that hindered the two states. Shen Zechuan would never be merciless in killing them.

“We pretended to pardon them when we came to the city,” Zhou Gui said. “How about we arrest them after the door is opened?”

Kong Ling shook his head and said while serving tea: “You have never thought that if they use this to incite the people of the two states, it will be detrimental to the reputation of the prince.”

Shen Zechuan is now cautious in everything, and they must take Shen Zechuan’s reputation into consideration when making plans. In order to replace Shen Wei’s bad reputation, all actions starting from Chazhou show benevolence and righteousness. Therefore, the army must be famous and must not be involved with bandits. Otherwise, even if he takes Zhongbo in the future, Shen Zechuan will not be able to establish a virtuous reputation.

While Shen Zechuan was listening, footsteps suddenly sounded under the eaves.Fei Sheng went to the kitchen and asked someone to cook the medicine. Gao Zhongxiong didn’t know what was going on inside. He patted the snow on his body and said when he came in: “Greetings to the Lord, the message——”

The three people in the corner turned their heads neatly and hissed at him.

Gao Zhongxiong’s cheeks turned red from the cold, he immediately stopped talking and shrank his neck.he Seeing Zhou Gui waving to him, he was still trembling before he stepped forward. Seeing that none of the gentlemen made a sound, he crept over, leaned over and said in a very light voice: “I will report to the Lord.”

Kong Ling didn’t know how to explain this, so he could only say: “Let’s sit down and drink tea first.”
