"Ahem, it's just a joke. Uncle Nine Emperors, you don't have to take it seriously. I have seen your sincerity towards Tan'er. Don't worry, I will whisper in Tan'er's ears and tell you how good you are. Let's just talk about it. As brothers, we take care of each other.”
As he spoke, Feng Muchi reached out and patted Dong Lingjiu on the shoulder, acting like a brother and sister.
Dong Lingjiu dusted his shoulders in disgust and raised his eyes to look at Feng Muchi again.
"Before that, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"I'll lend it to someone from Fengying Tower."
"Borrowing people? Uncle Nine Emperors, you have so many soldiers and horses under your command? Are you borrowing people from me?"
Feng Muchi looked in disbelief. Dong Lingjiu could have said this to something bad. He might have asked his people to die. This was something he couldn't agree to.
"Yes, don't worry, I will return as many people as you borrow."
Feng Muchi knew that Dongling Jiuyi never broke his promise, but he still had to ask clearly why he was borrowing someone, because after all, he was his person.
"It's not impossible to borrow it. You need to tell me what you're borrowing it for first, otherwise there's no need to discuss it."
"Tan'er was very unhappy when he saw the horse bandits on the border of Nanling and Dongling. He asked me to think of ways to destroy them. The location is rather awkward. I can't use my own troops. The killers from Fengying Tower came and went without a trace. It won’t leave any traces and is just right for use.”
"So, you are here to seek justice?"
Feng Muchi glanced at Dong Lingjiu suspiciously again, and Dong Lingjiu nodded firmly.
"You can also say that the more important thing is to please Tan'er."
"Tch, Uncle Nine Emperors, ask yourself, how can you be a person who loves beauty more and still want to please Tan'er? I think you must have agreed to Tan'er because you thought it would be profitable. Any attempt to please Tan'er is just an excuse. How can you be such a person?"
Feng Muchi looked at Dong Lingjiu with a "I've seen you through" expression, but Dong Lingjiu had an open face and remained unmoved no matter how Feng Muchi looked at him.
"So what?"
"I want to go with you, too. I have been really bored lately. There has been nothing interesting since the last battle in the military camp. This time, I want to go with you."
The scene of killing the horse bandit is exciting to think about. Maybe Xia Tan'er will praise him when the time comes. This is what makes a hero useful.
Feng Mu Chiguang thought about it this way, and his whole body was filled with anticipation.
"I can't decide this matter, so you have to ask Tan'er."
"No, Uncle Nine Emperors, you can't even make the decision on this matter? Then don't you want Tan'er to be the head of the family in the future?"
"I don't mind."
"..."
Feng Muchi didn't know how to say good things about Dong Ling Jiu for a moment, and how could he take it so naturally to eat soft rice.
"Since you are unreliable, I'll go back and ask Tan'er."
Feng Muchi hurriedly finished the last bite of food, put down his chopsticks and disappeared without a trace.
At that time, Dong Lingjiu glanced at the wide open door, with a smile of success on his lips.
"Tan'er, I have completed what you asked me to do."
After saying that, Dong Lingjiu picked up the rice bowl in front of him and prepared to have dinner. But when he picked up the chopsticks and prepared to pick up the vegetables, he realized that Feng Muchi had eaten all the vegetables and didn't even give him the soup. One drop remains.
Dong Lingjiu sighed, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
