Uncle Qiu looked up and smiled sincerely at Mr. Jiang Er, but the sincerity in his eyes could not completely cover the ferocity brought by the hideous scars on his face.

Mr. Jiang has always liked beautiful people and did not eat Uncle Qiu's style. Looking at Uncle Qiu's face, Mr. Jiang felt that the noodles that had just been sent to the kitchen were no longer delicious. "Tell me, who are you?"

Jiang Bao, who was ordered to guard the gate, sighed. It was three years since they arrived in the Jiang Mansion, and the second master remembered to ask about their true identities. Why is his heart so big? Fortunately, they are not bad people, otherwise the Jiang family would have been eaten by them.

Uncle Qiu said honestly, "Second Master, I didn't lie to you. When General Ren had an accident, I was indeed a clerk in the border city military camp."

"If you are just a minor official, can you run from the border town to Zangyun Temple and recognize Master Chengkong? What did you do before Ren Muyuan's accident?"

Mr. Jiang accepted the five of them back then, mainly because of Chengkong's threat. Chengkong had some friendship with Mr. Jiang's father, so Mr. Jiang believed that Chengkong would not harm him; secondly, because Mr. Jiang and Mr. Jiang Ling's biological father Ren Muyuan had eaten wine in Kang'an City and felt that the man was very pleasing to him. Mr. Jiang believed in his own eyes very much, so he loved the house and the land to pity Jiang Ling. In the eyes of Mr. Jiang, the person who protected Jiang Ling naturally could not be a bad person.

Uncle Qiu then confessed his identity to Mr. Jiang, "The old slave's real name is Qiu Jing. He was originally a military advisor under the position of the Left Wu Guard Commander Ren Anhan."

"Puff--" Mr. Jiang squirted his face on the table, widened his eyes and said, "Are you Qiu Jing?"

Uncle Qiu turned around and took a clean rag to clean the soup and water on the table. "I am not talented, it is Qiu Jing. Second Master, don't hear the story of the scholars' arrangements. The Left Wu Guard can retreat to the enemy. They are always the old general's mind and strategy. The soldiers fight with their lives. The old slave is just to benefit from it."

Jiang Bao looked at Mr. Jiang, afraid that he would jump to his feet and be angry that they would hide such a big deal from him.

Mr. Jiang Er stared at Uncle Qiu who was wiping the table for him, and was a little unresponsive.

Qiu Jing is also a famous figure in Kang'an. He is the most famous military advisor among the ten guards of the Great Zhou imperial guards. He has made several suggestions to help the Left Wu Guard repel the Khitan army. He is a meritorious minister who protects the peace in the west. The storyteller in each teahouse often talks about Qiu Jing, saying that he is as beautiful as Zhou Gongjin, and is a great figure than Zhuge Liang.

Mr. Jiang touched his chin and began to look at Uncle Qiu again.

If Uncle Qiu hadn't had these scars on his face, and even if he hadn't had these scars, he would have been half as young as his appearance, and Zhou Gongjin would probably be the same.

In this regard, Mr. Jiang also deeply agreed. Uncle Qiu was proficient in the "Seven Books of the Martial Classics" and was able to integrate famous war examples from the Great Zhou and the previous dynasties into the Seven Classics, and explained them very thoroughly.

Such a person has been a slave in his home for three years...

Mr. Jiang took the rag from his hand and put it aside, bowed and said, "I don't know the gold and jade, please don't blame me."

Uncle Qiu bowed, "Don't the hero mention his courage back then? The old slave has received the kindness of the second master and is willing to be the master of the second master and never change until death."

This is really great! Mr. Jiang Er's mouth raised and his eyes were shiny, "Sir, Mr. Jiang, please give me some advice on military calligraphy. How about the generals in the northwest now?"

Uncle Qiu said seriously, "The second master is good at judging the situation and is far more intelligent than others. If he is in the northwest, he will definitely be able to shock the whole country."

Mr. Jiang’s smile became even brighter, “Sir, didn’t you fool me?”

"Every sentence is true for me."

"Is that right? I think so too." Mr. Jiang Er smiled very satisfied and personally served Uncle Qiu a bowl of noodles, "Sir, eat noodles."

You can be prosperous in such a place like the hidden dragon and cruciating tiger in Beijing. Isn’t that a piece of cake for the northwest? Jiang Bao silently retracted his head and leaned against the door frame and looked at the clouds in the sky, thinking that the second master is still too tender, it’s so easy to cheat...

Fortunately, they were there to guard him. If he was targeted by a bad person, he would probably have to count the money for him if he was sold. He had to protect Mr. Jiang.

Inside the room, Uncle Qiu sat down with his hands hanging down and said politely, "Second Master, please call the old slave Uncle Qiu in the future."

Mr. Jiang Er shook his head seriously, "Mr. is sir, not Uncle Qiu. Uncle Qiu can only manage a few small shops, and Mr. can be very useful."

Uncle Qiu smiled, "I'm better obey my orders than respect."

After eating three bowls of noodles gracefully and quickly, Mr. Jiang Ershi satisfactorily put down his chopsticks, rinsed his mouth with tea, and asked, "Sir, what are the grudges between Ren Muyuan and Jiang Jinzong?"

Uncle Qiu cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and then replied, "When the veteran general was appointed as the commander of the Left Wu Guard, Jiang Jinzong was the vanguard general in the camp, and his son Jiang Zhenyuan also served in the Left Wu Guard. Eleven years ago, the Khitan army colluded with the three surrounding tribes, and pressed on the entire line, burned, killed and looted, and wanted to seize the thirteen cities of our surrounding border. All the elite troops of the Left Wu Guard were out of their battle with the Khitan tribes for half a month. It was not until the reinforcements of the Right Jinwu Guard arrived that they drove the Khitan out of the Zhou territory."

After a few short words from Uncle Qiu, Mr. Jiang was excited when he heard it, "This battle, I knew that all the elite troops of the Left Martial Guard were coming out. When the Khitan attacked the camp, Uncle Qiu played the flute and sang the empty city plan on the top of the city, and scared away the five thousand elite soldiers of the Khitan with one person!"

Uncle Qiu…

"Second Master, that was compiled by a storyteller. I don't have this ability."

"Oh..." Mr. Jiang elongated his tone, believing it or not.

Uncle Qiu continued, "In that battle, the elite troops of the Left Wu Guard lost more than 23,600 people, and the generals lost 83. Major General Ren Chengyuan and Jiang Zhenyuan, the son of Jiang Jinzong, were all among them. Jiang Jinzong blamed Jiang Zhenyuan for his death on the old general and accused the old general of deliberately targeting the Jiang family, so that he sent Jiang Zhenyuan into danger."

"The old general pityed him for losing his son and did not argue with him. After three years of planning, the old general finally found a fighter opportunity and led his troops to attack the Khitan territory, captured the Khitan King and the Khitan commander alive, and killed more than 10,000 Khitan troops. The Khitan retreated 80 miles and handed over the letter of surrender to seek peace. After entering the capital to present the victory, the old general was unable to heal, so he had to hang his seal to retire. Jiang Jinzong became the commander of the left military guard. Major General Ren Muyuan also followed the old general back to the border city to serve as the guard general, and was in charge of the old general in his later years. The second master knew what happened later."

After hearing this, Mr. Jiang said regretfully, "The old general should not give up his position as commander to Jiang Jinzong."

"Jiang Jinzong's appointment as the head coach was not the recommendation of the veteran general, but the order of the senior emperor." Uncle Qiu explained, "Because he expected that Jiang Jinzong would make things difficult for the Ren family, the veteran general took the major general to escape to the border town. Who knew that he was so cruel that he would destroy the entire Ren family!"

Mr. Jiang Er commented, "The old general is a military general, good at fighting and not being good at power and plotting. He should not take Ren Muyuan back home. Ren Muyuan is in his prime and has no place to live in the left Wuwei Guard. He can move his nest to other places. As long as he holds an important position, Jiang Jinzong dares not be arrogant."

"The second master said it is reasonable. However, General Ren is not as brave and intelligent as his father and brother. The Great Zhou imperial guards are full of talents, and even if he goes elsewhere, he will find it difficult to survive. Therefore, the Ren family puts their hopes on Young Master Ling's generation, hoping that he will revive the Ren family one day."

Hearing this, Mr. Jiang sighed deeply, "The Ren family is very similar to the Jiang family. Although my grandfather is not as famous as the old general, he is also a stunning and talented minister. When they grow old, the sons cannot inherit their father's business, so they can only place their hopes on their grandchildren... No, the Jiang family places their hopes on their great-grandchildren, and our three brothers are not doing well in this generation."
