Evil Consort Wants to Remarry - C296 starvation
Cao Er listened intently, and when she finished speaking, she nodded her head, “Yes, Marshal is right. I think the reason it is like this is because it wants to protect itself, it will only attack other small things when it’s hungry. I have never seen the Chameleon killing other small things and throwing them there.”
When Xiahou Jian heard it, he glanced at Cao Er.
Was she talking about herself? As long as she wasn’t ‘hungry’, she wouldn’t do anything.
However, how could he determine if she was hungry or not?
This, only she knew.
Xiahou Jian said: “Hearing you say that, this commander is rather hungry.”
Cao Er’s stomach also made a sound in time as she glanced at her.
She smiled embarrassedly.
After finding the butler, he handed Cao Er over to him and instructed the butler to take her to eat first. After eating, he would arrange for her to do things.
Cao Er had calmed down.
Li Hao did not do as Xiahou Jian said, he would arrive at the Martial Arts Practice Grounds three days later.
The next day, he went to the yamen to look for Xiahou Jian early in the morning.
Just as Xiahou Jian was about to go out and hear the servant’s report, he felt it was strange, but he did not show it on the surface.
He welcomed Li Hao and nodded his head too when he saw him.
“This marshal is going to the training grounds. If Your Highness is interested, let’s go together.”
There was no embroidery, nor was there anything stuck to the side. It was as simple as a man at his feet. The clothes he was wearing today, instantly gained Xiahou Jian’s good impression.
Li Hao’s clothes were simple, and the people around him weren’t extravagant either. Seeing that Li Hao’s clothes were half new and not old, Xiahou Jian could not help but ask, and then realised that back in the capital, Li Hao had made a few sets of clothes for his female servants. During training, they were constantly changing, and that was why he was wearing this half new and not old.
Xiahou Jian nodded his head, “I never thought that Your Highness was such a person.”
His words were from the bottom of his heart.
Li Hao laughed, “General Shi has always hated I to the core, since I has made up his mind to enter the battlefield, then he cannot be the one dragging everyone down.”
Hearing that, Xiahou Jian sighed: “With the personality of General Shi, the Duke can actually endure it. Sometimes, even this Commander is so angry that he can’t eat anymore.”
It could be seen how tenacious Li Hao’s mentality was.
“No wonder Marshal Xiahou is so skinny, Marshal Xiahou favors him too much.”
Xiahou Jian stroked his beard and smiled, “He just doesn’t know how to speak, he’s a good person with no schemes.”
Li Hao thought: “He is careless, he has a big heart, but only because he looks rough, and intentionally pretended to be a crude man, and spoke the words that others do not dare to say.”
The words that General Shi said would have to be said by a government official, it was obvious that he was hated. However, because the General Shi did not have any schemes, it would not be good for others to lower themselves to his level, making him appear vulgar.
But Li Hao said those words in his heart, upon hearing Xiahou Jian’s words, he nodded his head.
“The marshal is right, the General Shi is straightforward. Although he doesn’t like what he said, it was all for everyone’s benefit. An instant of life and death on the battlefield isn’t a place to be humble.”
Hearing Li Hao’s words, Xiahou Jian was ecstatic, and could not help but speak out, “Prince Mo, if only those people in the capital thought like you.”
They don’t have to fight, they have to suffer from the bad temper of those who don’t know anything about people.
Li Hao smiled and did not speak.
It is indeed very good to be like him, but if I were to be like him, the Emperor would definitely have a headache.
“If the marshal has interacted with the I for too long, I’m afraid he will regret saying what he said today.” Li Hao was humble.
Xiahou Jian shook his head, “This commander has always been accurate in his judgement.”
No matter what others said about Li Hao’s eccentric behavior, he felt that a person who could live and suffer together with the soldiers would definitely not be any worse.
The two of them spoke as they came to the training field.
The soldiers were waiting there, lining up when they saw them.
Xiahou Jian instructed the soldiers beside him, “Go and get five sets of leather armor.”
The soldier agreed.
Xiahou Jian looked at Li Hao, “How many guards do you have with you, your highness?
Li Hao thought about what Xiahou Jian meant by that, it was to prepare armor for them.
“Thank you for your kind intentions, Marshal. Before we came, I had already prepared armor for them.
Hearing that, Xiahou Jian shook his head.
The prince loves armor. Originally, it was not a bad idea to wear it, but once you get on the battlefield, you will feel that your movements are slow.
Hearing that, Li Hao felt that it was reasonable, “Then I will get someone to go back and get it.”
Xiahou Jian opened his mouth and said: “Forget it, Your Highness will first deal with it for a day.
Although it was just one day, it was actually only half a day of training.
When Li Hao returned, he felt that his body no longer belonged to him.
Seeing him lying on the chair, Du Jinse immediately went to get some hot water to soak him in.
After Li Hao finished bathing, he crawled out of the bath barrel and quickly wiped off the water off his body. Li Hao immediately laid on the bed.
“Sixteen, I feel like I’m not me anymore.”
Du Jinse’s heart ached for Li Hao when she saw him like this, but she knew that her tiring day would probably save his life tomorrow, so she would definitely not say anything about it.
“Let me give the prince a massage.” Du Jinse took off her shoes, climbed up behind Li Hao and started kneading her back.
“Mo Mo, your cooking skills are getting better and better.” Being pinched like this by Du Jinse, Li Hao was so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep, and call his Mo Mo.
Du Jinse saw that he was truly tired, so she did not remind him.
They had just arrived at a new place, and it was not like they would leave after a few days. There were many things that needed to be arranged, and Li Hao was not willing to see Du Jinse into the army camp.
Du Jinse was also tired for the whole day, and felt pain all over her body, but seeing Li Hao this tired, she endured the soreness all over her body, and helped Li Hao knead them.
Someone came over to report that the food was ready, Du Jinse looked at the sleeping Li Hao, and quietly went down.
Li Hao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Du Jinse.
“What is it?”
Du Jinse obediently stood there, “The food has been prepared, should Your Highness eat now or wait?”
Li Hao got up, “Find me clothes.”
Du Jinse had already prepared clean clothes for him to wear a long time ago.
Li Hao looked down at Du Jinse.
“After we leave, you should rest for a bit. There’s no need to be in such a hurry to finish everything at once.”
Du Jinse promised.
Li Hao touched the mask on Du Jinse’s face and sighed, “Sorry to trouble you.”
She did not know how long they would have to stay here, but, how long they would have to stay, or how long Du Jinse would have to wear the mask, it was not her own thing at all, it would not be comfortable to wear it, although at night, when there was no one around, Du Jinse would take it off.
