Chapter 63.1
At this time, Big Long pulled a small jade waist tag with the character ‘Long’ carved on it from his bosom. He put the waist tag on the table and pushed it to An Ruochen’s face, saying: “I wanted to meet you to give you this. When I am not here, and there is a critical situation, remember, critical situation, when no one can decide for you, you can use this waist tag to order the soldiers.”
An Ruochen looked shocked. This thing is sizzling! How can I dare to take it?
“I hope you don’t have to use it. After all, with your status, using this thing is quite difficult. If you use it badly, you’ll fall into the wrong hands. You’ll easily attract trouble.”
Yes, yes, yes. An Ruochen nodded her head. I’m afraid I’ll bring trouble to the General.
“Why don’t you give me something practical, General?” An Ruochen cheekily said.
As soon as she said that, she was glared at by Big Long: “This thing is not practical?”
An Ruochen was choked and hurriedly flattered: “Practical, practical. Just like the dagger that the General taught me to use. If I can practice it well, I can kill the enemy, but if I don’t, I will hurt myself.”
“Then practice it well!” Big Long’s face was dark.
“Oh.” Just take it, who is afraid of good things? An Ruochen put the waist tag into her bosom. After thinking about it, she asked. “General, if this tag falls into the hands of others, is it possible that they can also take it to move the soldiers?”
“Yes.” Big Long deliberately glared at her.
An Ruochen’s face suddenly wrinkled into a ball. She called herself ‘reckless and impulsive’ just now. Is it too late to take her words back?
“What’s this look on your face?”
She had a sad expression on, but pity she did not dare to say it aloud.
An Ruochen said, “Thanks for the General’s trust.”
Big Long gave her a face full of suspicion. An Ruochen did not dare to have a different intention.
“What kind of practical things did you mean?
“What?” An Ruochen was still suffering from the waist tag and hasn’t recovered yet.
“You just said to give you some practical things instead of this. What do you mean?”
Can I exchange it? An Ruochen instantly came to life. “General, I am short of money.”
Big Long: “……”
An Ruochen glanced at Big Long’s expression. Her spirit suddenly faded by half. “Uh, I mean, I had to bribe people for scouting information. I always need some money to pay for it. I’ve been here for a while, and I’ve never seriously discussed the matter of money with the General. It’s not only my allowance. If I can receive more, it will be more convenient for me to go out.”
This is a very reasonable reason, General. An Ruochen looked at Big Long with a gleaming gaze.
Big Long was also staring at her. That waist tag that can order and transfer soldiers is not worth much? Is it a lack of food or clothing for her? Right, he gave her money and clothes. As a result, look at how she dressed herself up. He endured not to say harsh words. She was just being honest.
“It’s late. It’s time to sleep.” Big Long waved his hand and started to drive her away again.
An Ruochen froze. Why not talk again? There are still a lot of things to say. What about the money?
Big Long shut the door. An Ruochen stared at the door for a while, sighed, and slunk back to the house with her hands behind her back.
The General’s heart is like a needle under the sea.
The next day, An Ruochen heard many things from Chun Xiao when she got up.
One is that General Long left last night. The second is that General Long ordered to arrange two carriages and two teams of guards for An Ruochen. The captain had come to An Ruochen’s courtyard to greet her and said that they were on standby at any time at her command.
Three, the Lord Governor sent someone to invite An Ruochen, saying that General Long said yesterday that the espionage case is to be investigated by Steward An. The details of the matter are to be reported and assisted by Steward An. Therefore, the Lord Governor sent someone to urge and ask An Ruochen to go to the courthouse today.
Fourth, the accountant asked An Ruochen to go to the accounting office to get the money and check the accounts when she has time.
Fifth, Chief Li asked An Ruochen to come over to complete the paperwork and case records.
An Ruochen ate breakfast while listening and calculating how to settle these matters. Suddenly, Chun Xiao added another: “By the way, Lu Daniang also left a message. She said that Miss’ Second Sister fell and hurt her ankle. But I heard there is no serious injury. She is recuperating at her home. Lu Daniang was afraid that Miss would be worried about her, so she left a message.”
An Ruochen stroked her forehead, really forgot about her second sister. How could she have fallen?
