Chapter 330: There are people everywhere who can’t tell the difference between high and low
This person's name is Wang Qiping. He is actually quite capable. He is a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of War. He is not a technical person, so Zhao Lingmeng has never met him.
Wang Qiping saw that the two people in front of him ignored him, so he didn't rush to speak. Instead, he looked at their clothes again. Seeing that they were dressed in ordinary clothes and had no valuable accessories, he became more convinced of his judgment.
Wang Qiping quickly waved to the patrolling guards nearby: "Come here, take these two strangers away and interrogate them thoroughly."
The patrolman looked at Lord Wang as if he was an idiot, saluted to Fan Yong and the others, and left.
"Don't go! Didn't you hear my order?" Wang Qiping first shouted at the backs of the patrolling soldiers, and then wanted to go forward and catch Zhao Lingmeng himself.
Fan Yong just looked at the kick which was completely harmless, and then Wang Qiping flew out.
After kicking the ball, Fan Yong did not forget to wipe the dust off his toes, with an expression as if he was looking at something dirty.
"Who is this guy? He doesn't look very smart."
Fan Yong glanced at Wang Qiping, who had fallen and hadn't gotten up in the distance, and casually introduced him, "Wang Qiping, a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of War! Born a top-ranked military scholar from an ordinary family, it's not bad for him to have gotten to this position. But judging by his appearance, he seems eager to rely on Lord Jin as a patron!"
"Oh, from the fifth rank, no wonder I didn't recognize him. And maybe my luck is just bad, I might not be able to hold on to this thigh anymore."
Fan Yong felt that a fifth-rank official would not normally be within His Highness's sight, but His Highness's words were somewhat irritating: "Your Highness, if you speak like this, you might easily be put in a sack."
"Lord Fan is here! Who dares to put a sack on me?" Zhao Lingmeng ate snacks slowly, without any sense of urgency.
Fan Yong shook his head helplessly, "Then I would like to thank Your Highness for thinking highly of me."
While Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong were chatting, everyone who heard the noise gathered around. Lord Jin also put down what he was doing and rushed over when he heard the noise.
Lord Jin first saw Wang Qiping, who was holding his stomach and was a little unsteady when he stood up. He asked with concern, "What happened to Wang Yuanwailang?"
Wang Qiping thought his backer had arrived, and immediately pointed at Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong. "This man ate the snacks on your table, sir. I told him to leave, but he refused. I tried to stop him, and then he kicked me."
Lord Jin followed Wang Qiping's gaze and saw Fan Yong casually standing in front of the man. But with his years of observation, he immediately recognized that the person behind Lord Fan was a woman disguised as a man. The only person who could work Lord Fan in the military camp was Princess Funing.
He immediately stepped forward with a smile and saluted, "Your Majesty greets Princess Funing."
When everyone around saw Lord Jin bowing and heard him address that person as Princess Funing, they all knelt down immediately. Even Wang Qiping, who was holding his stomach, knelt down reluctantly.
Why was Wang Qiping so reluctant? Because he had never met Princess Funing in such a place before. Of course, if someone of his rank hadn't come to the military camp, he wouldn't have known Zhao Lingmeng's true identity. So, he had the male chauvinism that many men of this era had, which was to look down on women.
Wang Qiping believes that women should stay at home to manage the household, stay at home, be filial to their parents-in-law, and educate their children, instead of appearing in places like this.
But now no one cared about Wang Qiping. This guy even wanted to step forward to stop the princess. He was lucky to be able to leave standing today. Who dared to speak up for him?
"Master Jin, there's no need to be so polite. Everyone, please stand up! I'm just here to take a look."
Lord Jin had worked with Zhao Lingmeng several times and they were familiar with each other, so when he heard Zhao Lingmeng calling him, he stood up immediately.
"If Your Highness finds my snacks delicious, shall I have someone send some more to Your Highness?"
Lord Jin also knew what Princess Funing had been up to today. He guessed that the big pot meal at noon must not have suited her taste, so she was having some snacks now.
In fact, Lord Jin was about the same age as Old Marquis Zhao, so he looked at Zhao Lingmeng's mentality more like looking at his own junior. So he was also worried that the prince hadn't eaten enough.
"That's about it." Zhao Lingmeng just came here to take a look. If there was nothing else, she would go back to eat the delicious dinner made by her family Qiuyue, so she didn't plan to eat too much.
Lord Jin smiled and nodded, as if he agreed with Zhao Lingmeng's wishes.
Wang Qiping, who was being supported not far away, saw that Lord Jin had not mentioned letting Princess Funing leave for a long time, so he immediately reminded him, "Lord Jin, women are not allowed to enter the military camp."
As soon as Wang Qiping said this, everyone around him looked at him like he was an idiot. Even the two people who were holding Wang Qiping silently let go of his hands and took a few steps back, almost saying that they didn't know him.
Fan Yong felt that he hadn't seen such a stupid person in a long time, and he mocked: "Ha, Lord Jin's subordinate is quite a character."
Lord Jin doesn't want such a fool! Even if you don't know Princess Funing, you should at least be able to tell the difference between her eyebrows and eyes!
"Master Fan, that's great! This person isn't one of my men, he's one of the Minister of War's men."
Then Lord Jin waved his hand, and the patrol came to drag them away. What happened afterwards was not Zhao Lingmeng's business. Anyway, she was only there to provide technical guidance, and the rest was mainly under the care of General Liu.
When the others saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they bowed to Zhao Lingmeng and went back to work. They were busy too!
"Master Jin, is there anything I need to take care of today? If not, I will go back to have dinner."
When Lord Jin heard His Highness ask this, he immediately brought up several pressing issues with Zhao Lingmeng, and the two exchanged ideas. After agreeing on solutions, Zhao Lingmeng stood up and clapped his hands. "Let's go! Lord Fan, it's time to go back for dinner."
Fan Yong collected his accessories and followed Zhao Lingmeng. Lord Jin turned around, made arrangements, and went back to rest. The army had been on the march for about a month, and they had all the necessary weapons and equipment, so now it was relatively easy and they could go back to rest early.
On the way back, Zhao Lingmeng curiously asked, "What will happen to Wang Qiping?"
"Someone will teach him the rules. Don't worry, he won't be demoted." Fan Yong would not explain to Zhao Lingmeng. Learning the rules was the worst experience.
