Quick Wear: No one can stop me from extending the life of the male supporting role

Chapter 137 General's Mansion 8

After returning to Zhou's house, Zhou Leping had a comfortable sleep. He didn't get up from the bed until the sun was high in the sky the next day.

Standing in the yard and stretching, he said, "I haven't been home for a day, but it feels like a month has passed! I really am not suited to a career in politics!"

In the yard, Jing Zhuo had already swept the floor and even filled the water tank: "Young master, if you don't get up, the general will find out that you are being lazy." This is all your work!

In order to hone his son, General Zhou set a very targeted iron rule: whenever Zhou Leping was on vacation, he had to take on the work in his courtyard. He had complained before, but was rejected with a kick.

Zhou Leping ran to Jing Zhuo and took the broom. "I knew Jing was the best! My yard is all cleaned up! There will be a garden party these days, and the teacher gave us three days off. How about we go hunting together?"

Jing Zhuo clapped his hands and walked towards the door, saying, "You are on holiday, but my master didn't give me any. You have time to go out hunting, so why don't you go and take the initiative to find General Zhou to admit your punishment? He may be able to spare your life because of your good attitude in admitting your mistakes."

"Hey, what are you talking about? I haven't done anything wrong recently! Why should my dad punish me?"

"Hey."

Jing Zhuo chuckled, but disappeared long ago.

Zhou Leping thought about it and couldn't figure out what Jing Zhuo meant by that. "I have indeed been very honest recently!"

Although he was not sure, but what if? Zhou Leping still trotted towards his father's study.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of my father's yard, I met the chief steward of the general's mansion coming out.

Zhou Leping finally met his savior, and quickly grabbed the chief steward to inquire about the news: "Uncle Fu, how is my father feeling today?"

The chief steward looked at the little guy Zhou Leping and knew what he was planning: "The general is in a good mood. He just went from the study to the madam's courtyard. The young master wants to look for the general?"

I'm in a good mood! He was relieved: "It's okay, I just want to go to my father to say hello. Since I'm at my mother's, I'll come back later."

After saying that, he wanted to leave. As soon as he went out, he met the general.

"Father, good morning~"

Before he could finish saying the word "An", he got kicked hard on the butt and fell flat on his face.

Hey? Didn't you say you were in a good mood? Why did you kick someone?

Zhou Leping followed in, crawling and tumbling, being very cautious.

Seeing General Zhou's frown, Zhou Leping, as a son, was very worried. He was not worried about General Zhou's worries, but about his own butt.

"Dad, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

General Zhou's eyes rolled up when he heard this: "Go outside and kneel down."

"Huh? Why?"

Seeing that General Zhou was about to get angry again, Zhou Leping quickly ran outside.

Kneeling down on the stone slab and touching the thick knee pads on his knees, he couldn't help but sigh at his foresight: "But what did I do wrong? Why am I being punished?"

After kneeling on the ground for a while, General Zhou finally came out. He sat down with a swagger and began to interrogate me like a judge: "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Zhou Leping was a little confused and could only shake his head: "Please explain it to me, father!"

"Show me how you made your mother angry!"

Hearing him say this, Zhou Leping was even more puzzled: "What are you talking about, father? I visit you every morning and evening and never dare to be disrespectful to you. How could I have made you angry?"

General Zhou scratched his beard and said, "This is really strange. If you didn't cause it, could it be that he is really angry with me? Could it be that I was found hiding my private money?"

Zhou Leping, who was kneeling on the ground, twitched his mouth. Only then did he realize what had happened to him today. It turned out that he was implicated.

Zhou Leping stopped kneeling and sat on the ground: "Hey, Dad, do you still have some private money?"

General Zhou glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense! How are you doing with your studies? I'm going to check on you today."

If Zhou Leping hadn't been afraid of being kicked, he would have wanted to refute. His father couldn't read a single word before he joined the army. After he arrived at the barracks, he read a few books in order to understand the military orders. But that was the extent of his reading. If he was asked to read something like "zhihuzheya", he would fall asleep in seconds.

You're still checking randomly, it's just to cover up the fact that you're punishing me because you're guilty! How miserable I am, why is it that every time my parents quarrel, it's always this son who gets the bad luck.

Just as I was reading a book to coax General Zhou to sleep, Jing Zhuo, who had been practicing martial arts outside, came back.

General Zhou was instantly awakened by his snoring: "Well, have you finished reciting?"

Jing Zhuo saluted the general. General Zhou wiped his saliva and asked: "Did your master go drinking again?"

Jing Zhuo nodded: "I'm already drunk."

"Alas, he just can't change this bad habit. Now that he's back, he'll recite the book with Leping.

Zhou Leping laughed secretly, A Jing, you expected me to be punished, but you didn’t expect it to be you!

The two sons were reciting books behind them, and General Zhou was drinking tea in the garden. He was lying on a recliner, rocking gently: "From time to time, he sighed at the beautiful scenery of the two bald trees in his yard."

Zhou Leping put down the book and asked his father: "You have been marching and fighting all your life, do you have any wishes?"

General Zhou shook his feet and swayed his tea: "If I were to say what I wish for, it would be to be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple after my death!"

Zhou Leping was happy: "Dad, you still have the ideal of entering the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"

General Zhou glared and said, "Why can't I go? I am loyal to the emperor and love my country, I deserve to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

Having said that, he stopped playing with the two children and walked out with a swagger, hurrying to coax his wife.

Jing Zhuo went over and flipped through the book, and found that it was actually a military book: "Were you just randomly checked on the art of war?"

Zhou Leping threw down the book and said, "I am a complete scapegoat. Whenever my parents quarrel, I am always the one who suffers."

Jing Zhuo flipped through the book in his hand and asked Zhou Leping: "I have also read some books from my master, but I still don't understand some things."

Zhou Leping sat cross-legged on the ground: "Oh, it's rare that Ah Jing still has questions for me, tell me quickly, let me, the great talent Zhou, answer your questions."

The question Jing Zhuo asked was: "When two armies confront each other, why don't they use poison?"

This was the first time Zhou Leping heard this statement: "Use poison?"

Jing Zhuo seemed to have thought about it for a long time: "In fact, as long as we send a team of people to infiltrate the enemy camp and put poison in their drinking water and food, can't we easily solve the whole army?"

Zhou Leping opened his mouth and looked at Jing Zhuo, obviously shocked by his bold statement: "You actually have this idea."

Jing Zhuo thought it was normal: "When two armies fight, there will always be casualties. This method can minimize our casualties, so why not?"

This idea was dangerous, so Zhou Leping decided to turn it around for Jing Zhuo: "What happens after that? Even if the enemy's army was poisoned to death, our country would still win a great victory. Have you ever thought about what will happen after that?"

Jing Zhuo thought: "After that! If I can win without losing a single soldier, I will be admired by the soldiers, supported by the people, and promoted to a higher position."

Zhou Leping shook his head: "Ah Jing, your understanding of human nature is still inadequate."

In fact, Zhou Leping had discovered long ago that Jing Zhuo was a little abnormal in handling some things. In his eyes, it seemed that there was only one way. As long as he could achieve his goal, he would not care about other things. He only cared about what he cared about, and didn't care about anything else.

Zhou Leping said: "You poisoned all the enemy soldiers to death, will you one day use the same method to poison your own people?"

Jing Zhuo frowned: "How could I? They didn't hinder me."

Zhou Leping nodded: "Yes, it doesn't bother you, and we can live in peace. But if I make you unhappy, I will be retaliated by you. Not only the soldiers will think so. The national army will also think so."

"Jing Zhuo, if you really use this method, you can win, but it also crosses the bottom line of morality. It will be difficult to win the hearts and minds of the people. If you really do this, you will be scolded for thousands of years."

Jing Zhuo looked at Zhou Leping and finally nodded: "You are right, I have not thought about this and I will not do this in the future."

Zhou Leping patted Jing Zhuo with great satisfaction, thinking that he had saved a young boy and indirectly saved countless people who might have been poisoned by him. His merit was immeasurable. It was truly immeasurable.
