Tang Chen said with a smile: "Boss Hua is quick!"
"He just likes to listen to gossip." If it weren't for Wang Ruo's words, Tang Chen would have thought that Hua Wuxin came up with the idea of storytelling in order to boost the morale of Daliang.
Hua Wuxin added, "I've already thought about it. After clarifying the cause and effect between them, I'll write a storybook. Then, it will be passed down through the ages. That's all I need to do. I can also find some celebrities to write a few books about them. I'm afraid I can even make up for the losses in the black market during the war."
Tang Chen said in surprise: "Wow, this is the first time I hear you mention this. It turns out that there are times when the black market is short of money?"
Hua Wuxin sighed deeply and said helplessly, "No one can make money all the time in business. What I'm doing now is not a losing business, is it?"
Tang Chen hurriedly said: "Hey, don't talk nonsense, I paid for it!"
Wang Ruo suggested thoughtfully, "I think we can raise the price a little."
Hua Wuxin would not say a word against Wang Ruo's words: "A Ruo is right, it's time to increase the price."
A few people were teasing Tang Chen about this matter. After just a few words, Wang Yanzhou walked in with a brisk pace. Wang Ruo looked at Tang Chen and teased him again: "Hey, whose prince is back? What's the saying about mentioning Cao Cao and Cao Cao is here? As soon as you mention Madam, Cao Cao is here. Haha."
Wang Yanzhou saw the joyful atmosphere in the hall and couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems like everyone knows the news?"
Liang Shuyi said that under these circumstances, even if Chen Xin led his troops out again, at least he would be a little less worried. "Now, the situation has changed 180 degrees. We were originally at a disadvantage because Nanyue lost its artillery, but after we gained control of Shu, the gap between the two sides has gradually narrowed. Now that Beimo has expressed its position, this battle is largely won."
That was true, but Tang Chen had other thoughts: "That's true, but Jingji's movements are uncertain, and Yaochen is now under their control. I'm afraid that in the end, after all our hard work to drive away Nanyue, Jingji will just say a word and wipe out all our achievements and hand over the country we worked so hard to defend."
Wang Ruo said with certainty, "No, no matter how powerful Xiahou Qing is, he is not from the royal family. Moreover, even if Yaochen surrenders temporarily, he will not hand over this family and country to others in the end."
Tang Chen asked with a smile: "How can you be so sure?"
Wang Ruo explained, "Of course. I personally trained him. I believe in my own abilities, and I also believe that my disciple will not bring shame upon me."
Tang Chen couldn't help but nodded and said, "Yes, that's true."
After learning that the new Khan of Beimo had decided to "share a common hatred of the enemy" with the Liang State, Xie Zhuangshui felt more and more that something was wrong. He simply took two guards with him, temporarily handed over the affairs of the camp to Xiao Liang and Xie Miao, and rode at full speed day and night to Qinghe County.
After Xie Zhuangshui arrived at the outskirts of Qinghe County, Lin Feng's men discovered his whereabouts and promptly returned to the government office to report: "Sir, someone is coming from outside the city. It seems to be General Xie Zhuangshui."
Lin Feng asked with a smile: "Why, he came in person?"
The subordinate lowered his head and said, "Although these people are wearing large cloaks, they should be correct."
Lin Feng said that since Xie Zhuangshui had come in person, he had to fulfill his duties as a good host. He would leave this important matter to Xiahou Qing: "Have someone prepare to welcome our General Xie."
"yes."
Just as the men were about to leave, they were stopped by Lin Feng, who suddenly remembered something: "By the way, is Xia Houqing still in the cellar?"
The subordinate replied, "Lord Xiahou spends almost half the day in the ice cellar. He's always staring at the ice coffin, and I don't know what he's looking for."
Lin Feng raised his lips slightly and said, "It's hard for ordinary people to guess what this old fox is thinking. Okay, when General Xie arrives, after we've treated him well, we'll take him directly to the ice cellar. I think he's here for something concerning the Northern Desert. A petty official like me can't get involved in such a major matter."
"I understand."
After Lin Feng had arranged the things at hand, he suddenly remembered that Lin Zhenzhen had told him that she wanted to go out for a walk these days. Now the sun was setting, and he guessed that his little daughter who had gone out to play should be back. After leaving the study, he went straight to Lin Zhenzhen's residence.
Looking at the largely untouched dishes in front of Lin Zhenzhen, Lin Feng asked with concern, "Zhenzhen, what's wrong? I heard from them that you haven't been in a good mood these past few days. Do you want to go out and play? You've been clamoring to go out for a walk every day, but how come you've lost interest after just one day?"
Lin Zhenzhen sighed softly and held her chin up in her hand, saying, "Brother, Qinghe County is really a very good and beautiful place. I had a lot of fun there, but..."
Seeing her like this, Lin Feng seemed a little afraid to speak, so he said: "We are just brother and sister here, just say whatever you want to say."
Lin Zhenzhen whispered, "Brother, those people on the street look at me as if I'm an enemy from several lifetimes. But I've never seen them before, nor have I provoked them. If it was Liang who invaded Nanyue this time, I..."
At this point, Lin Feng also understood why Lin Zhenzhen was unhappy. He had come to Daliang with great expectations, but he found that the people here did not welcome him at all, no matter what identity he used. "Zhenzhen, although people live for themselves in this life, in reality, most of the time, the family lintels, family and country are all concerns and burdens. If possible, your eldest brother would also like to be an idle cowherd. As long as I can fill this mouth, that's enough."
Lin Feng left his family at a young age and infiltrated Qinghe County, seeking information and waiting for an opportune moment. Even his own sister, born to the same father and mother, was only able to see her during this time. If he were just an ordinary citizen, who would want to start a war and disrupt their hard-earned peaceful life?
Although Lin Zhenzhen had been well protected by her family since she was a child, she was not stupid. Otherwise, Lin Feng would not have said these things to her in a roundabout way. If she was not smart and had a likable personality, Lin Feng would not have been so supportive of him.
Lin Zhenzhen sat up straight, closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing. Then she asked, "Brother, I heard from them that you play the flute very well. How come I haven't seen you play it since I came here?"
Lin Feng asked: "Well, do you want to listen now?"
"Um."
The ox rides freely, the spring breeze and drizzle. Amidst the green hills and verdant grass, I play a flute and wear a straw raincoat. I sing at sunrise and return clapping my hands at moonlit night. Who could be like me, neither right nor wrong?
He took out the bamboo flute that hadn't been played for a long time but was still free of dust. It was just one tune, but the lingering sound lingered in his ears. Not only did Lin Zhenzhen feel that she hadn't listened to it to her heart's content, but Lin Feng felt the same way.
