Lin Feng didn't explain the reason directly, but just asked with a smile: "Uncle Ning, are you out for a walk?"
Huangfu Ning smiled and replied, "That's about right. I just walked over here. You haven't told me yet. What are you doing dressed like this?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Join the army. From now on, I will be a cook. If Uncle Ning wants to eat something, I can find a way to prepare it for him."
Huangfu Ning said that although Lin Feng looked no different from the others after putting on the mask, his figure was still very good. He might become a hot commodity as soon as he got to the kitchen. "Oh, not bad. You're ready to work as soon as you feel better. So, may I ask, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
Lin Feng smiled helplessly, raised the empty tray in his hand, and said, "Uh, I haven't reported yet."
"Alright, go ahead. Be more collected and don't let anyone see you. Your back is too straight. Bend it a little bit." Huangfu Ning helped Lin Feng adjust his posture. Only when the crane-like figure suddenly transformed into a hunchback bent by life did he nod in satisfaction, "Well, that's fine. It's much better than before."
Lin Feng, who is not used to hunching over, said that this posture can easily cause back pain after a long time: "It's a bit uncomfortable."
Huangfu Ning explained, "It can't be helped. You look too tall to be assigned to the kitchen. The kitchen staff are generally those who can't go to the battlefield unless absolutely necessary, and they're responsible for carrying so much luggage. If you're too arrogant, people will think you're a temporary placement with ulterior motives."
Hearing what he said, Lin Feng couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "That's right, thank you Uncle Ning."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'm going to go shopping now. I've been feeling really pent up for a while." Huangfu Ning said that and then he walked away slowly. Actually, what he did just now was just unnecessary. He just felt that a cook should be like that.
...After finding a feasible method for the Shengxi Gu, Huangfu Ning's thoughts turned to other things: "Speaking of spies, there is one person who I am very concerned about..."
Huangfu Ning lay in the tree for a while, then stood up and quietly went to Shi Zairong's study. As soon as Huangfu Ning closed the door, he told Shi Zairong his bold suspicions about the spy. It was obvious, however, that Shi Zairong seemed to trust the suspicious figure he had mentioned, and his words revealed a conflicted tone: "Uncle Ning said that about him? That's unlikely, isn't it? I know what kind of person he is. Although he has some unbearable quirks, he's definitely not the type to be a spy."
Huangfu Ning also said: "I have heard of this man when I was in Nanyue. However, in this situation, it is better to be more cautious. Leave this matter to me, I will arrange it and give him a try."
Shi Zairong paced around the room for a long time before saying, "...Okay, if after testing it, it's not him, please, Uncle Ning, don't scare me like this in the future."
Although Shi Zairong's words might have sounded somewhat disrespectful to his elders, Huangfu Ning could still understand him. Even so, he still had to repeat some things: "I'm not the type to make empty promises. I'll accept your request. However, I still think you should prepare for the worst-case scenario and think about how you would handle it if this hypothesis is confirmed."
After getting Shi Zairong's permission, Huangfu Ning didn't say when to wait. He found a set of clothes worn by ordinary soldiers and gave it to Huangfu Chongyou. He forced the child to change his clothes and took him away.
Huangfu Ning did not tell Huangfu Chongyou specifically what to do, but just asked him to bring the chicken soup to Xie Zhuangshui later.
At first glance, this seemed like a completely harmless task, but for a young man who loved to listen to rumors, Xie Zhuangshui was a terrifying existence for someone like them who had barely grown any hair. Those terrifying rumors he had heard in the past now surged up from the depths of Huangfu Chongyou's memory.
Huangfu Chongyou held the chicken soup and pleaded with a sad face, "Uncle, can I not go? I'm scared!"
Huangfu Ning said that although he was allowed to go in alone, he was still secretly protecting him outside, so he should relax a little, otherwise he would be exposed once he went in. "Don't you always say that your escape skills are superb? I'm giving you a chance to show it. Don't worry, we will all protect you in secret. Besides, your uncle is here, so what are you worried about?"
Huangfu Chongyou, who had no choice but to take the risk, said with a heroic expression: "If anything happens to me, you have to tell my mother that I am a real man!"
Huangfu Ning said that the child was usually a quiet person, so why did he become such a chatterbox at this moment? He urged him, "What are you talking about? Hurry up and go! Don't try to delay your suffering. It's not worth it."
Huangfu Chongyou looked back every few steps towards the place where Huangfu Ning was hiding. Seeing that he really had no chance to escape, he had no choice but to go ahead.
Huangfu Chongyou swallowed and calmed himself, then, following Huangfu Ning's instructions, walked into Xie Zhuangshui's room with his chest and head held high and his buttocks raised. Seeing that Xie Zhuangshui was still buried in writing, he whispered, "General, the Grand Tutor asked me to bring some chicken soup."
Xie Zhuangshui looked up at him, waved his hand and said, "Well, put it on the table, you can go."
"I'll take my leave."
Huangfu Chongyou hadn't expected this mission to be so easy. He didn't even have time to get nervous, and he actually showed up. Xie Zhuangshui, the legendary homosexual with a special fetish, didn't even give him a serious look. This was unrealistic!
As the one who considered himself the best-looking among the three Huangfu brothers, Huangfu Chongyou fell into deep thought after coming out.
Huangfu Ning, who was hiding nearby, hadn't even gotten the melon seeds out of his pocket when he saw Huangfu Chongyou return with a dazed look in his eyes. He was also lost in thought: "He's coming out already?"
Huangfu Chongyou came back to his senses, nodded expressionlessly, and said, "Yes, it's out."
Huangfu Ning threw away the melon seeds, hugged his shoulders and asked, "Nothing happened?"
Huangfu Chongyou replied: "Well, nothing happened."
Huangfu Ning said that this was completely different from his plan. Could it be that Xie Zhuangshui was too busy and didn't see him? "No, Xie Zhuangshui didn't see you. Is there someone else in the room?"
