Mo Lingfeng bowed respectfully to Zhong Jiaqing: "General Zhong."
Zhong Jiaqing snorted from his nose: "Sit down."
Zhong Tao pulled out a chair for Mo Lingfeng, then turned around and dug out the cupboard, took out a small clay pot, scooped out a large spoonful of rock sugar walnuts, knocked it into a tea cup, and brewed one for her: "This is a gift from my mother-in-law. It’s very nourishing.”
He put the peony cake on a small plate and put it on the table. After realizing it, he also made one for Zhong Jiaqing.
Zhong Jiaqing watched with cold eyes, seeing his grandson's stupid hot face against Mo Lingfeng's cold face. He was dumbfounded, his palms itched, and he wanted to slap his grandson away.
However, before he could take action, Nomad Qing heard the news and arrived. After being informed by Zhong Jiaqing's soldiers, he couldn't wait to go straight into the middle tent and handed over Zhong Jiaqing: "General Zhong!"
Then he turned around and said, "General Mo!"
Then his eyes wandered over the sugar water and peony cake. While reporting Jin Lu's movements, he slowly moved his steps, stretched out his arms, pinched a piece of cake, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.
Mo Lingfeng smiled and also ate a piece. Zhong Tao picked up a piece and took a bite: "Is this stuffing made of flowers? What kind of flowers? It's quite delicious."
Zhong Jiaqing snorted coldly, picked up a piece and tasted it, eating half of it: "It's delicious——"
Before the word "fart" came out of his mouth, Mo Lingfeng suddenly took action and snatched the remaining half of the cake from Zhong Jiaqing's hand: "Mountain pigs cannot eat fine chaff."
The wild boar was stunned and looked at his empty hands with wide eyes. He couldn't believe it and almost died of anger on the spot.
The grandson of the mountain boar chuckled for a while, and then the laughter suddenly stopped. He pursed his lips tightly, but the smile still leaked from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Mo Lingfeng stuffed the cake into Nomad Qing's hands and said, "Eat it!"
Nomad Qing understood clearly that the origin of this pastry was unique, and he quickly stuffed it into his mouth and praised: "It's delicious, it's really delicious. The person who bought it is discerning."
Mo Lingfeng nodded with satisfaction: "Take another piece and get out."
Nomad Qing took action decisively, took the food and got out, and when he went out, he saw Xiao Dou surrounding Yin Nan and showing his hospitality.
Xiao Dou shook his big body, buzzing around Yin Nan, and at the same time put Yin Nan's hands in a golden light.
Nomad Qing looked at the two simple gold bracelets. They looked more like shackles than jewelry.
Yin Nan's face was full of irritability, but his hand was grabbed by Xiao Dou. He couldn't touch the knife, so he could only roll his eyes and endure it.
He couldn't help but stepped forward and patted Xiao Dou's arm: "This is a good gift. The young general wears a gold collar all day long, and the soldiers around him wear two gold cuffs-gold bracelets. They are really matching. The master and servant go there One station before the formation, that is——"
He swallowed the words "living target": "Dazzling, really dazzling."
When Xiao Dou heard this, his face was full of joy and his eyebrows were raised: "Yeah, I just saw our general wearing a gold collar."
Yin Nan broke away from Xiao Dou's hand, pulled out the sharp knife from his waist, and looked at Nomad Qing ruthlessly, and then at Xiao Dou.
She couldn't really kill these two disgusting things, but she could put two or three holes in the short guy and stab the big guy five or six times.
As soon as Nomad Qing saw the light of the sword, he ran away. Xiao Dou smiled stupidly and took a few steps back, then ran away.
Yin Nan put away the knife, clasped her left wrist with her right hand, and tried to pull out the bracelet. However, the bracelet was easy to get in and difficult to get out. In addition, the gold was soft, and she was too strong. When she squeezed it, it was flattened, and it became increasingly difficult to get out. coming.
She could only wait for Mo Lingfeng to come out and help her find a solution.
She glanced at the Zhong Jiaqing soldier who was watching the excitement and took a step forward. The soldier immediately trembled and looked away, not daring to look any further.
Inside the tent, Zhong Jiaqing finally relieved himself and scolded Zhong Tao. He looked at Mo Lingfeng who was slowly eating peony cakes: "You came to me not just to deliver cakes."
Mo Lingfeng took a sip of sugar water: "But I really want to give you a cake to try."
She picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Zhong Jiaqing: "You eat it. The person I like came all the way from Kyoto to send it to me. I want the people I respect to have a taste."
After hearing these words, Zhong Jiaqing sighed deeply in his heart. He didn't know whether he was sighing for Mo Lingfeng's "like" or her "respect".
She is too complex.
When talking about love, she is as innocent as a child, and when talking about respect, she seems to be well-educated. She is also naughty and lively, but this is just a thin layer of ice floating on the river. If you believe her, you will Death without a burial place.
But in the end, he took the cake in his hand and tasted it carefully: "Good."
Mo Lingfeng smiled unreservedly: "Tan Xuan will arrive on April 18th. I think I should go back in advance to avoid being caught by him."
Zhong Jiaqing frowned: "You want me to cover it for you?"
Mo Lingfeng nodded: "I saw a few words today that I thought made sense, so I'll tell you about them too.
Those who are officials should change according to the times, change with the trend, change for the country and the dynasty, and change for the common people in the world.
what do you think? "
Zhong Jiaqing did not answer, but remained silent. After a long while, he suddenly said: "For the sake of the people of Kuanzhou, and for the border land, I will cover up for you this time, and deceive Shengting for you. What will happen after I die?"
Qin Fang's death, Wang Yunsheng cannot completely dispel the emperor's suspicion. After my death, the emperor will definitely send a civilian official from Shumiyuan to command the army. How can you keep hiding it?
I can die, but I still have family members. General Mo, and the nine Zhong family members will all be buried with you! "
Mo Lingfeng concealed his smile, stood up, put his hands on his forehead, and saluted: "General, in order to counteract the disaster caused by the Jinlu, he built Gaoping Stronghold and stayed here all his life. When the general is here, I will lie dormant for the whole day, and I will also guard for the general." In this country, if the general is no longer here, it will be the day when my Mo family comes out of the mountain. I swear on my life that if the descendants of the Zhong family are in Kuanzhou, I will protect them."
Zhong Jiaqing said coldly: "If the Mo family comes out of the mountain, can they still defend Kuanzhou?"
Mo Lingfeng nodded firmly: "Yes."
She whispered: "Kuanzhou is where the Mo family's bones are buried. My brother and I will be buried here in the future. How can we let Jin Lu trample on us?"
Zhong Jiaqing had nothing to say and could do nothing about the situation. With the thousands of loyal elite soldiers in his hands, he was no match for Mo Lingfeng, so her promise was enough.
He waved his hand: "Go away."
Mo Lingfeng said seriously: "Thank you, General Zhong, for making it possible."
After saying that, she tilted her head and looked at the wine jar. When she saw that there was peony cake inside, she hugged it out like a baby.
On April 17, Mo Lingfeng returned home on leave, citing pain as an excuse. He only brought a group of soldiers with him. After arriving home, he stayed behind closed doors.
She was at home, and Yin Bei acted as her ears, bringing in news from the outside from time to time - Wu Yi resold peony cakes for a hundred cents each, and made a fortune of money. He opened a candy shop and made his own candies. They also sell some cakes.
There are many sugar shops in the market. Although it does not have the word "Zhuangyuan Candy", people in Kuanzhou directly call it "Zhuangyuan Candy", and students often come to buy it.
