Chapter 492 Keep an Eye on
Knock, knock! There were two knocks on the door.
The door suddenly opened. Song Ruize stopped his men from knocking on the door, glanced in the direction of the next room, and winked at his men, indicating that he should wait at the door.
After his men left, Song Ruize went back to change his clothes, comb his hair, tidied himself up as quickly and lightly as possible, and quietly went out.
"Cough..." A clear cough sounded.
Song Ruize immediately stopped the step he had just taken.
He stood up straight, changing his previous "sneaky", "furtive" and "tiptoe" manner, and returned to his usual serious and stern appearance.
He turned to look at Qin Huiyin who was standing at the door and said calmly, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Do you remember what I said when you applied the medicine yesterday?" Qin Huiyin tilted her head slightly and looked at Song Ruize opposite her with a smile, her eyes full of danger.
Song Ruize knew he was angry, so he didn't dare to play it safe. He explained, "I've just taken the position of commander-in-chief, and there are many eyes watching me, waiting for me to make a mistake. I've been busy lately, and I can't miss a single day. But I promise I'll rest as much as possible, and I won't intervene if I can avoid it."
"I knew you wouldn't listen, so I've already packed everything." Qin Huiyin said, "I'll go with you."
"The military headquarters is composed entirely of men, a bunch of rough men. Not only do they speak incoherently, but their behavior is also crude..."
"It's not like I haven't seen your men before. They are very reliable, not as exaggerated as you say. You don't let me follow you, do you think I'm in the way?" Qin Huiyin said this deliberately.
"Then you must be obedient, wear your veil properly, hide when you encounter danger, and don't rush forward."
"As long as you're obedient, I'll definitely be obedient too." Seeing that he agreed, Qin Huiyin trotted over, pulled his arm and said, "Let's go!"
The maid took out the veil and put it on Qin Huiyin.
Song Ruize adjusted her veil and took her out. They had originally planned to ride a horse, but now they had a little extra to go, so he asked the servants in the mansion to prepare a carriage.
They had breakfast first and then went directly to the Bingmasi headquarters.
As soon as Song Ruize arrived at the headquarters, several of his subordinates placed a pile of documents to be processed on his desk.
Qin Huiyin saw the documents and asked, "So many?"
"This has already been selected," said the attendant delivering the documents. "Some of the subordinates have already handled some of the trivial matters on their own. These require the general commander's decision."
"The higher the position, the greater the burden. No wonder you don't dare to delay for a single day. If I were you, I wouldn't dare to delay either. If you slack off for even a single day, how much will be delayed and how much trouble will be caused."
Song Ruize sent everyone else out of the room.
"You didn't sleep well last night. There's a lounge inside. Go lie down for a while. I'll be here processing paperwork this morning and won't be going anywhere. You don't have to worry about my injury."
"I just woke up. Just focus on your own things. I'll play by myself next to you. I won't be bored." Qin Huiyin sat down next to him. "But can I ask your people to run an errand for me?"
"Just do what you want."
Qin Huiyin stood up, walked to the door and said a few words to the attendant who was guarding there. The attendant strode away without saying a word.
Qin Huiyin asked her followers to go to the Food City to move the account books for her. She had to guard Song Ruize here all day. Since she was idle anyway, she had to take care of her own affairs.
Before the attendants brought the account books, Qin Huiyin sat next to Song Ruize and picked up a random book to pass the time.
After finishing several documents, Song Ruize turned around and looked at Qin Huiyin. He saw that she was lying there asleep, with the travel notes in front of her still on the first page.
Song Ruize laughed and was about to carry her to bed to sleep, but he heard noisy sounds coming from the door, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it was about to rush into the study.
Qin Huiyin was woken up and her mind was confused. When she heard the person talking at the door, she immediately hid under the desk.
This is the study of the Bingmasi headquarters. All important matters of the Bingmasi in the five cities are handled here. There are also many confidential documents here. Even the commander-in-chief of the Bingmasi cannot bring anyone in casually.
What's more, she is a woman.
This thought suddenly popped up in her mind, causing her to have a series of stress reactions, and even Song Ruize didn't react.
He was stunned for a moment, stuffed Qin Huiyin into his arms, and looked at the two men who broke in.
"Commander-in-chief, it was our West City Military Division that captured this thief today, and the South City is trying to steal the credit." The person who broke in was the newly promoted deputy commander of the West City Military Division.
The one arguing with him was the deputy commander from South City.
Song Ruize looked at the two subordinates in front of him, impatience flashing in his eyes.
They quarreled all day long and fought for credit. What's the difference between them and the country women who quarreled for a long time over an egg?
"Commander-in-chief, please give us your verdict..." He cursed in a hoarse voice, spewing out all kinds of obscene words quickly.
Song Ruize's expression became increasingly ugly.
He covered the ears of Qin Huiyin who was lying in his arms.
Qin Huiyin looked up at Song Ruize and saw that his brows were getting more and more furrowed. She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
It is indeed not easy for him to lead such "soldiers" every day!
She reached out and hooked her fingers with his to soothe him.
Song Ruize's original idea of scolding the two people away disappeared.
He let Qin Huiyin hook his hand from below, and he felt more comfortable with the two people in front of him. After they stopped arguing, he spoke again: "A thief ran from South City to West City, and then from West City to South City. Since both sides have contributed, why not split it in half? What's there to argue about?"
Deputy Commander Nancheng muttered, "Why should we share with them? We've been targeting this flower thief for three days and finally caught him. Commander-in-Chief, flower thieves are different from ordinary thieves."
"Deputy Commander Jiang, are you dissatisfied with my decision?"
"I am dissatisfied. My Lord, you are biased towards South City and unfair to us in West City."
Qin Huiyin listened to the aggrieved voice and felt that this rough 1.9-meter-tall man was quite cute, like a child fighting for candy, complaining aggrievedly about his "father" being unfair.
In order to make herself more comfortable, she lay in Song Ruize's arms with her chin resting on his legs.
Song Ruize could see those big fluttering eyes as soon as he lowered his head.
The curiosity and surprise in her eyes fell into his.
His fingers stroked her delicate cheek, like stroking a delicate and beautiful Persian cat.
"The two brothers in the countryside are fighting over the family fortune because it's too small to be divided evenly. Since that's the case, let's make it even bigger. This month, South City and West City must apprehend another thief. If they fail, not only will their credit not be passed down, but the military officers of the two cities will also be punished. They've been arguing over such petty gains all day long. Could it be that they've eaten one meal and don't want the next?"
Two noisy subordinates: "..."
