Chapter 980 The Soul is a Little Familiar
Lu Zhaoling was about to speak when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
No, very wrong!
Because she sensed a familiar breath.
At this moment, a light bulb went off in her head and she suddenly understood.
The evil cultivator on General Qiu's body is her acquaintance!
It’s an old acquaintance!
"Hello, Miss Lu. We have heard of your name for a long time."
General Qiu also clasped his fists to Lu Zhaoling.
He was quite surprised. Lu Zhaoling was more generous and straightforward than the rumors he had heard before, and he didn't seem to be timid at all.
Standing in his handsome camp, she did not shrink back, nor did she look like a delicate lady, as if she was out of place.
She was graceful and had a bit of heroic air, as if it was normal for her to appear in this military camp.
General Qiu felt that he should appreciate such a girl, but a strong feeling of disgust suddenly surged in his heart!
Not just disgust, but hatred!
He even almost clenched his hand into a fist and punched Lu Zhaoling.
General Qiu suddenly grabbed his right hand with his left hand, and his face changed at the same time.
He said hurriedly, "Your Highness, you just arrived in Subei, you must be tired. Let the second brother take your Highness and Miss Lu to rest first, and we will talk about it tomorrow, how about that?"
Ok?
Zhou Shiyue raised his eyebrows.
As if he were a fool?
Mr. Qiu was also shocked.
It's not dark yet, and it's not night yet. Miss Lu and the prince just came in, and we have to ask them to go out?
This is not his elder brother's temperament.
The military advisor also felt that something was wrong.
"General, it's been a long time since we met again, why don't we catch up first?"
"Yes, General, and these two are Miss Lu's two junior brothers, Master Yin Yunting and Master Lu Song."
Mr. Qiu felt a little embarrassed.
He didn't even have the chance to introduce these two people just now.
Miss Lu’s two junior brothers should naturally not be neglected.
He hasn't told his eldest brother yet that these people are from the Xuanmen. Didn't his eldest brother want to find people from the Xuanmen?
"And this one is Master Sizhen." Mr. Qiu felt that the young master could not be ignored either.
But General Qiu was tense.
His expression was also very serious. The excitement he had just felt when he saw the King of Jin was gone. He had a smile on his face, but now it was completely gone. His face and facial features looked as if they were suddenly sealed with wax.
He even took two steps back.
"It's getting late, let's take His Highness and the others to rest for a while and let the cook prepare the meal. I can have a drink with His Highness later." General Qiu said again.
This intention clearly wanted them to leave the camp as soon as possible.
Zhou Shiyue looked at Lu Zhaoling.
General Qiu now looked obviously abnormal. Of course, he would listen to Lu Xiaoer in this matter.
So, he didn't say anything and waited for Lu Zhaoling to make the decision.
Lu Zhaoling also glanced at him.
Seeing that Mr. Qiu was very anxious and wanted to speak again, she spoke before he did, "We are indeed a little tired. Let's go and relax first and talk about it later."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Mr. Qiu immediately had no objection.
Maybe Miss Lu has also seen something! Then listen to her first.
"General, shall I take Miss Lu and the prince to settle them first? They will stay in the camp tonight."
"Okay, go ahead." General Qiu spoke quickly.
"The military advisor and several deputy generals should also go out and help settle things down," he added.
Everyone withdrew from the general's camp.
General Qiu was the only one left in the camp.
Mr. Qiu and the military advisor exchanged glances and both apologized.
"The general has been quite busy these days because of some things. He probably doesn't want Your Highness to see him in a bad mood."
The military advisor said to Zhou Shiyue, "Your Highness should have known since childhood that the general sometimes doesn't care much about your status when he gets angry. Your Highness once said that he doesn't get angry with the general."
He was being very frank by telling Zhou Shiyue all this.
Anyway, General Qiu's reaction just now was not right, and this could not be concealed. So they did not need to find any other excuses.
Zhou Shiyue nodded.
"I remember. But has General Qiu been like this often recently?" he asked.
The military advisor paused, "Occasionally, in the past two months, it seems that there have been two or three times when we were forced to withdraw."
"What happens next?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
The military advisor did not expect that Lu Zhaoling would interrupt and ask when they were talking about such things.
But he had a pretty good impression of Lu Zhaoling. He was just surprised for a moment, but he didn't feel bad about it.
"After that, everything was fine. I also asked the general, and he said that I was just a little agitated for a while, and I would be fine after I calmed down."
Because they have been busy recently, they didn't think there was anything wrong with this situation.
The general was able to calm down quickly, and he felt that his temper was much better than when he was young.
"Miss Lu, how about I have someone take you around the military camp first?" Mr. Qiu felt a little uneasy about letting Lu Zhaoling rest now, so he would feel more at ease if he asked her to take a look at the entire Subei camp first.
As for himself, he also wanted to take this opportunity to go back and ask his elder brother what was going on.
Lu Zhaoling saw through his plan at a glance.
She didn't refuse either.
"Okay."
"Why don't I lead the way?" the military advisor said, "and I can catch up with His Highness."
Zhou Shiyue nodded, "Okay."
So the military advisor took them around.
Master Qiu turned around and hurried back to the general's camp.
He patted the door.
"Big brother."
There was no sound from inside for a long while.
Master Qiu frowned and said, "Brother, I'm coming in."
After saying this, he pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as he entered, he saw General Qiu holding a finger-long white jade flute and playing with it.
The small jade flute turned between his fingers.
General Qiu sat at the table with his eyes closed as if he was in a trance.
Mr. Qiu had never seen his elder brother calm down in this way.
His eyes fell on the jade flute.
It's not something that can be blown, it's just carved into a hand-held piece, so the flute is fatter and rounder, and the jade is very smooth.
Mr. Qiu didn't know where this thing came from, as he had never seen it before.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Mr. Qiu walked closer.
General Qiu slowly opened his eyes.
"Second brother, sit down." He motioned for Master Qiu to sit down opposite him.
Mr. Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
He seemed to be calm, and just as the military advisor said, his mood calmed down quite quickly.
He sat down.
General Qiu grabbed one end of the jade flute with one hand and pulled it out.
With a clang sound.
That jade flute could actually pull out a small cutting knife.
Mr. Qiu was worried again.
He thought it was just a handle, the knife looked very sharp. Who made the knife look like this jade flute?
Moreover, he saw a little blood on the knife.
