"What's going on?" Lu Jing asked Ge Ping.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw another person walking over not far away.
The man was wearing an apron and was all greasy. He looked like Zheng Tu, who sells meat under the Zhuangyuan Bridge, so Lu Jing didn't recognize him at first glance. It wasn't until the man was almost here that Lu Jing realized that he was actually It's that fake winter visitor.
The fake Hanshanke also saw Lu Jing at this time. He didn't have Huo Xingsun's keen sense of danger, and he still greeted Lu Jing warmly after seeing him.
"This friend looks a little unfamiliar. Is he new here? You're welcome here. Let's eat pancakes tonight. They are golden and crispy. I guarantee you will never forget them once you take a bite."
"...This is all a mess."
Seeing that Lu Jing's expression was not good, Ge Ping quickly pulled him aside and carefully explained, "I didn't mean to let them out.
"The main reason is that after you left, our village was targeted by people, and it was not just the same family. It has already entered winter. The situation of several villages near Ju County is not very good, and the food stored is not enough for the winter. Originally, it was I plan to pick a nearby big landowner to do it.
"It turns out that some time ago Duobao Pavilion transported food to us, they somehow found out about it. It happened that our earthen fortress hadn't been built yet, so they changed their mind to attack us.
"And this time, people from several parties joined together. More than 300 people were dispatched to grab food. There were many experts among them. On our side, there are many young men mining in the quarry. stone.
"Although the brothers in the village were working hard, three punches were hard to beat with four punches. I had no choice but to call in the people guarding the two of them to help, but they still couldn't withstand it. As a result, at the critical moment, Mr. Sun suddenly fell from the sky. , with one enemy against many, he showed his magical power and killed all the invading enemies.
"Not only did he save the food in the village, but he also saved our lives. The most important thing is that he could escape before but didn't, so naturally we can't lock him up after that."
Lu Jing glanced at Huo Xingsun not far away, but he didn't expect this guy to help.
And it’s okay to help. The key is that he actually stayed after helping. What on earth is this guy planning? Lu Jing had not forgotten that he belonged to Mr. Ji. Could it be that he wanted to pretend to surrender so that he could infiltrate the enemy?
But he doesn't seem to have any secrets worthy of being undercover.
Lu Jing thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Huo Xingsun was selling in this gourd.
So he put the problem aside for the first time, and then pointed at the fake Hanshank not far away and said, "What about him? Why was he released? Could it be that he also showed his magical powers and helped you get rid of the intruders?" Have all the bandits been beaten away?"
Ge Ping looked a little embarrassed, "Well... it's true that we have slacked off. The main reason is that Mr. Sun, who is the biggest threat, has been released. Then the guards on Mr. Song's side will inevitably be a little lax. At the beginning, we only let him out for a while." A style or something.
“But later he commented on Chef Wei, saying that the crystal elbows made by Chef Wei were not soft and glutinous enough. Chef Wei was dissatisfied, so he asked him to show off his skills. As a result, everyone who tasted the elbows he made praised it.
"So after that, he and Chef Wei each cooked the food in the village for one day."
"…………"
Good guy, Lu Jing doesn’t know where Mr. Ji found such a treasure. Zhaozong is quite versatile.
Now seeing that the emperor has nothing to do, he even changed his job as a cook halfway through.
But the question is, where is this guy’s job transfer? Why does it have to be on his territory?
Well, this seems to be because he told Ge Ping not to let this guy leave.
So after all is said and done, he can only be blamed for this matter.
In fact, Lu Jing has always been troubled by how to deal with the fake Hanshanke and Huoxingsun.
These two people are both members of Mr. Ji's staff, and they are considered to be in completely hostile camps. Huo Xingsun has fought against him before, but this time he acted very cooperatively.
The fake Cold Mountain Guest is just an ordinary person, chosen by Mr. Ji to fill the vacancy when the real Cold Mountain Guest is absent. Of course, he himself seems to have a harem dream, but other than that, he has not done any evil.
Lu Jing couldn't just slap him with a knife, but he definitely couldn't just put him back and continue to benefit Mr. Ji. Even if the fake Hanshanke was gone, Mr. Ji could still train a new fake Hanshanke.
But at least Lu Jing could waste some of his training time and make him sick.
Since he couldn't let go, and he couldn't kill him, the only option left was to keep him alive. Besides, Lu Jing had not forgotten that Luo Changshi and his daughter would also come to see him in the future.
So looking at it this way, this fake Hanshan guest really has to stay.
And since he has to stay anyway, then keeping him there to eat for free is certainly not as good as letting him participate in labor.
After understanding this truth, Lu Jing felt a little better.
So he looked at Huo Xingsun again.
Huo Xingsun pretended to be admiring the sunset, but in fact his eyes always drifted here from time to time. It looked like he would run away at any time if the situation was not right.
Seeing Lu Jing walking towards him, his body tensed up involuntarily.
Huo Xingsun originally thought that Lu Jing would test a few words first, but unexpectedly the latter went straight to the point, "Do you want to stay here?"
Huo Xingsun nodded, and then said, "You must be the master of this place."
"Yes, I have a few questions to ask you. If you can answer them truthfully, I can consider letting you stay. Otherwise..."
"What else?" Huo Xingsun was shocked.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. After all, you helped me before...Senior Si Tianjian, as agreed, I will let you go, but you have to drink two bowls of guest tea first and forget about the past twenty days. Everything that happened." Lu Jing said calmly.
Huo Xingsun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"How about it, do you want to answer my questions, or wait to drink tea and leave?"
"Well, you ask."
"Why stay?"
Lu Jing's first question was not beyond Huo Xingsun's expectations, and he should have already known about this question, so he answered it quickly.
"I'm tired. I don't want to fight anymore, and I don't want to hide from Si Tianjian's fearful life."
"What about Mr. Ji? If you just leave like this, doesn't he have any objections?"
"You may have some misunderstandings about Mr. Ji. He is not a... tyrant. On the contrary, he is very nice and never forces us to do anything. As early as the first day, he told us that we can quit at any time. quit.
"But few people would choose to leave him, because everyone wants to repay his kindness. It was he who gave us the power to change our lives."
