“No…no!”
Miss Bingbing said hurriedly, "Commander Wang told me that Lord Zhao is a man of integrity and loyalty, and is definitely not that kind of person."
"Captain Bingbing, what you said to me today was a little strange, but it reminded me of something!"
Zhao Muyun, with his back to Miss Bingbing, seemed to be muttering to himself, "I have an old friend who treated me like a teacher. Unfortunately, my position was low and my words were not taken seriously, so I couldn't prevent his demotion. I'm very sorry."
"Oh, how can I tell you this? You don't understand."
Before Zhao Muyun finished speaking, he strode away.
"You were a lowly official back then, so your words were understandable, but now you're a general, high up in power, and yet you haven't taken any action?"
"It's a pity that my father thought so highly of you and spared no effort to recommend you to the court."
"After all, he gained power and status, but he completely forgot about his father."
"I came all the way to Shuozhou, even going so far as to commit suicide in a brothel and kill someone, just to hear a word from you, Zhao Muyun?"
“Should I be doing more?”
Miss Bingbing looked at Zhao Muyun's receding figure and fell into deep thought.
......
When Zhao Muyun hurried back to the conference room, the waiter from Wangyue Tower had already brought a sumptuous meal.
Four dishes and one soup, one large meat dish, one small meat dish and one vegetable dish, just the right amount for Zhao Muyun, Bai Ruolan, Yin Ji and Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen happened to be in Shuozhou Prefecture discussing matters with Huang Chang, so Zhao Muyun said, "Ruolan, why don't you go and call Miss Bingbing to come over for dinner."
"good!"
Just now, Zhao Muyun asked Bai Ruolan to leave, and she began to have some doubts.
Now that Zhao Muyun has taken the initiative to invite others to have dinner together, it would be strange if there is no trick involved.
However, the two of them had just gotten married, so they shouldn't be so suspicious.
Although Bai Ruolan had doubts in her heart, she still chose to believe her husband.
She answered and went to call someone.
After a while, Bai Ruolan came in with Miss Bingbing.
"General Yin, this is Miss Bingbing, one of us." Zhao Muyun's words "one of us" left Yin Ji confused.
He looked up and was startled, and one of the chopsticks in his hand fell.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Muyun asked immediately when he saw this.
"No...nothing! It's getting late, I'd better leave right away, it's better not to reach Xinzhou before dark."
Yinji remained calm, reached out and grabbed two white flour buns, stood up and left.
"The meal is ready, why are you leaving?" Zhao Muyun asked curiously when he saw that Yinji was a little abnormal.
"Master, I'm really in a hurry!"
Yinji left in a hurry.
"Really, so impatient."
Zhao Muyun shook his head, then looked at Bai Ruolan, then at Miss Bingbing, as if he understood something.
Yinji thought that this Bingbing girl was someone related to Zhao Muyun. As a result, Yinji became like a light bulb among the people eating at the table. It was indeed a bit embarrassing to eat at the same table.
"Why don't you two eat it! I'm not hungry!"
Zhao Muyun also stood up and left, "Li Si, let's go out for a walk."
Li Si and other guards had already eaten in advance to ensure that Zhao Muyun would be available at any time.
"Master Zhao, why don't you eat anything? If so, I'm embarrassing you."
Miss Bingbing hurriedly apologized.
Her arrival made Yinji run away first, and then Zhao Muyun left on the pretext that he was not hungry.
In the end, only she and Bai Ruolan were left eating, and she felt like she had ruined other people's lunch.
"Just eat what I tell you to, and stop talking nonsense." Zhao Muyun said harshly.
After saying this, Zhao Muyun frowned and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Only Bai Ruolan and Bingbing were left in the room.
"Eat! Don't bother with him, he's just like that." Bai Ruolan generously invited Bingbing to sit down and took the initiative to serve her some rice.
Bingbing looked flattered: "Master Bai...Master Bai, I can do it myself."
An incense stick later, the two finished their meal in silence, and Zhao Muyun came back.
He saw Bai Ruolan and the other person finished their meal, and without saying anything, he walked straight to the desk where he worked, sat down, and prepared to close his eyes and rest.
Bingbing took the initiative to clear the dishes and clean the table.
"You don't have to do anything. The guards will take care of it." Bai Ruolan stopped her, "Let's not disturb Lord Zhao's rest!"
"Yes, I will take my leave first. Thank you, Lord Zhao, for your hospitality. I'll trouble you, Lord Bai."
Bingbing also hurriedly said polite words.
The two women were about to leave when, boom, the door of the conference room was pushed open and Tang Yanhai rushed in.
He came in panting, looked around, then grabbed the teapot on the table and poured himself a glass of water.
After Yangtian finished his drink, he shouted, "Boss Zhao, there's news from Xiazhou!"
When Tang Yanhai came in, Zhao Muyun just glanced at him and continued to close his eyes to rest. He was used to it.
He knew that Tang Yanhai often came to eat and drink for free, but he always came after they had finished eating.
However, this time, although Tang Yanhai missed the meal, he brought news about Xiazhou.
The only person related to Zhao Muyun in Xiazhou is Wang Tiezhu who was arrested.
Zhao Muyun's eyes snapped open and he straightened up. "Old Tang, what do you think? Has Hou Zongmin agreed to a replacement?"
"That's right, Hou Zongmin agreed to use the pillar to exchange for Zhang Hong, but he also put forward a condition!" Tang Yanhai pouted.
"What conditions?"
"He also wants 5,000 kilograms of fine salt." Tang Yanhai said angrily.
"I thought he wanted something! Promise him, promise him everything! When will the replacement be made?"
