Chapter 109: Rough People and Scholars



Li Mao was sitting at the desk at this time. He had not yet received a reply from those people he had sent to Yuzhou City. Under such circumstances, he sent another secret letter to the capital last night.

The content of the letter was that he hoped His Majesty would agree to let him lead his troops to Yuzhou City!

"Your Majesty, you must make a decision as soon as possible!"

Li Mao finished speaking in the study room when he heard his own brother Li Feng shouting at the door: "General, the city lord Sheng Yu invites you to come over for a drink!"

When Li Mao heard that Sheng Yu wanted to treat him to a drink, he was about to refuse, but then he stood up and said, "I understand!"

After changing into casual clothes, Li Maogang opened the door and found Li Feng still at the door.

"Why are you still here?"

"Brother, I'll go with you!"

"No need, go back and rest. Sheng Yu asking me to drink at this time is probably not a good thing!"

"Then I have to go, just in case Sheng Yu does something bad to you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you afraid that others will hear you?"

"elder brother……"

"go back!"

Li Mao scolded with an ugly look on his face.

Li Feng opened his mouth and then turned back.

Li Mao was a great general, while Li Feng was just an ordinary soldier in the barracks.

Although they are brothers, their identities are very different.

It is true that Li Feng is Li Mao's younger brother, but leaving the capital this time was a tough job.

No one knew how Li Feng had managed to sneak into the army. Li Mao hadn't noticed it at first. It was the last time when Li Feng was about to send someone to Yuzhou City to gather information that he suddenly discovered that his own brother was actually in the military camp.

This surprised Li Mao. After asking, he found out that his brother was sneaked away by his family.

He originally wanted to slip away on the way, but he didn't expect to find any opportunity along the way, let alone leave. Especially after the war not long ago, Lin Feng, who was originally a handsome young man, turned into a rough man. He figured out some things and decided not to leave.

If he hadn't heard the sound, Li Mao would never have believed it.

Unable to drive Li Feng away, Li Mao had to keep him by his side.

Firstly, it was convenient to watch him and prevent him from causing trouble, and secondly, it was less dangerous. However, Li Feng was a lively person at heart, and he left in front of Li Mao.

However, as soon as Li Maogang walked away, he immediately followed.

At this time, Nangong Jing also broke into Sheng Yu's mansion and started searching in every courtyard.

Unfortunately, he saw Sheng Yu and Li Mao outside a pavilion.

Nangong Jing found a place to hide, but unexpectedly he ran into Li Feng who was following Li Mao.

It should be said that Li Feng was afraid of being discovered following behind him, and also wanted to find a place to hide.

They both found the same place around the small pavilion.

As soon as Nangong Jing noticed someone coming, he immediately hid his breath and waited for Li Feng to come over.

Unexpectedly, Li Feng was squatting where he was just now, looking in the direction of the pavilion.

Because of the weather, Nangong Jing did not recognize Li Feng for a moment.

However, Li Feng didn't have much patience. After a while, he became impatient again and muttered, "There are so many mosquitoes. Why haven't you finished drinking yet?"

Nangong Jing hid behind, thinking to himself, this voice sounds familiar...

But I couldn't remember it for a moment.

Nangong Jing just felt that he was a little unlucky tonight. Such a great place with a view of the pavilion had actually been taken advantage of by someone else.

In the pavilion, Sheng Yu's slightly plump face was full of smiles. He personally poured wine for Li Mao and said, "Are you happy to call General Li here so late?"

Li Mao picked up the wine glass and drank it all. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy in his voice.

"Why do you think so, City Lord? I, Li, am just a rough man. How can I compare with City Lord Sheng?"

The Nanzhao Kingdom valued culture over military affairs. In the eyes of scholars and literati, military men were considered vulgar and were mocked even more.

When Sheng Yu heard Li Mao mocking himself like this, he smiled and said, "General Li, why do you say that? Now His Majesty has taken a liking to you. You have a bright future ahead of you. How could I, Sheng, not take a liking to you?"

Li Mao was most annoyed with talking to literati, as there were so many questions and it was impossible for him to understand what was in their minds.

"City Lord Sheng specially invited me to drink, so he must have something to say. Don't beat around the bush, just say it directly!"

Sheng Yu had just raised his glass to toast, but when he heard what Li Mao said, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes and then disappeared.

"This city lord is fine. I just saw that the moonlight is beautiful tonight, so I wanted to treat the general to a drink!"

Li Mao heard this kind of polite talk the most, and it also annoyed him the most! "Ou? Haha!"

Li Mao poured himself a glass, then poured another glass for Sheng Yu, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he pointed the empty glass at the other person.

Then he looked up at the sky outside the pavilion.

"As for the moonlight that City Lord Sheng mentioned, I guess the City Lord must be dazzled!"

The moon was covered by a dark cloud, like a shy child. Li Mao stood up and left.

Sheng Yu seemed to have known this would be the outcome. He was not surprised at all. He picked up a dish with chopsticks and said calmly, "General Li, don't you want to know why you have been restricted everywhere since you arrived in Langzhou and have no freedom?"

These words successfully made Li Mao, who was about to walk out of the pavilion, stop. He turned back in shock and looked at Sheng Yu's back.

Li Mao just stopped and didn't walk back quickly. He was thinking about the truthfulness of Sheng Yu's words.

Is he playing a joke on himself or is he trying to dig a hole for himself?

But Li Mao is a rough man after all, and he doesn't think things comprehensively, so Sheng Yu's words still have an impact on him.

Sheng Yu put down his chopsticks, turned around and gestured to Li Mao to invite him in.

Li Mao had a step down, so he went back and sat down again.

Nangong Jing, who was hiding in the dark, really wanted to knock Li Feng out with a palm so that she could leave.

It just happens that this place is closest to the pavilion, and any movement may be seen or heard over there.

After thinking about it, I decided to endure it.

The brat Li Feng was looking at the pavilion opposite happily, but he had too many problems.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Li Feng had to sleep and eat with those people in the military camp, and they quickly became friends with them.

The noble temperament of a young master that he had cultivated for many years became worthless here.

Influenced by these people, I have long since forgotten about my good manners.

In just a short while, he had already farted several times silently.

He is extremely ugly, but he doesn't even realize it.

It was just a pity for Nangong Jing who was standing behind him. It was the first time he smelled such a stinky fart. Even fanning himself back and forth couldn't stop the stuff from running into his nose.

This is the greatest shame in Nangong Jing’s life.
