Suya

All the soldiers remained silent, lowered their heads one by one, and fiddled with the melons and fruits in their hands.

Feng Chen knocked on the table, and everyone lowered their heads.

Just when Feng Chen got impatient and was about to explode, the soldier with stubble on his chin finally spoke desperately, "We didn't eavesdrop on purpose, it's just... General, your roommate The commotion inside is really loud... It's hard for us not to listen."

The movement seems to be a little louder...

The soldier's chatterbox opened up, and seeing that Feng Chen was not angry, he couldn't help but start talking: "At first, when I heard the sound of a bed shaking in your room, the brothers thought it was a bit strange, but then I heard Xiao Xiao When the brothers shouted for pain, the brothers thought, it’s over, the general must have met an assassin, so they rushed out with knives, and as soon as they rushed to the corner, they saw you coming out holding Brother Xiao , I didn't see any blood on my body or anything, and then you entered Brother Xiao's room again... The brothers felt that something was wrong, and were about to go in to ask, but you rushed out in a hurry , ask Xiao Er to call the doctor for you, and when the doctor leaves, you will stay in the room and never come out, hey, brothers understand. General~"

General Hu Zha stretched out his big hand, patted Feng Chen heavily on the shoulder, and said with a hearty smile, "Don't worry, my brothers have been with you for so many years, and treat you like a brother. My little secret, I will keep it for you."

At first Feng Chen listened to the cross talk with great interest, but the more he listened to it, the more he felt that something was wrong. When he heard the last sentence, he finally understood. For a while, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, so he had to sit there and talk to him. Everyone stared wide-eyed, some of the soldiers sighed and some shook their heads, and finally they all patted Feng Chen on the shoulder with an expression of "Don't be afraid, brothers support you", which made Feng Chen playful , winked at them, with a lewd smile on his face.

All the soldiers nodded one after another, silently expressing their understanding of Feng Chen.

Xiaoer came over with the dishes, crystal dumplings, braised pork ribs, clam and mushroom soup, pickled peppers and bamboo shoots, the whole tray was full, although the dishes were simple yet delicate, Feng Chen's stomach groaned very well. several times.

Feng Chen rubbed his stomach, remembering that he hadn't eaten almost all day, he got up to take the tray, took a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth.

After eating two mouthfuls, I found that Xiao Er was hesitant to speak, wanting to speak but dare not speak, so he said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Xiao Er rubbed his hands together, feeling a little nervous, and asked tentatively: "Guest officer, I heard they called you general just now, this... can you tell me, which country's general are you from?" Huh? You didn't come here to..."

Feng Chen's half-chewed dumpling got stuck in his mouth, and all the soldiers sitting at the table froze visibly.

Alas, it's just that life is too comfortable, and everyone has let down their vigilance.

"Well..." Feng Chen swallowed the dumplings, hooked the corners of his mouth, looked at Xiao Er and said seriously: "To be honest, 'General' is not a title, but my name."

"Ah?" Xiaoer was taken aback, with the words "You lied" written on his face.

"It's not that some people are called Gao Sheng, and some people are called Wei Wei. It's the same reason. My parents also hope that I can become a leader as soon as possible. Unfortunately, my father's surname is neither Wei nor Gao but Jiang, so I have to choose 'General' Such a name, alas, speaking of it, this name did cause me a lot of trouble, but after all, it was given by my parents, so I can't change it."

After all, Feng Chen acted like a filial son, raised his head and let out a long sigh. All the soldiers were stunned and almost stood up to applaud his wonderful performance.

The little second on the side waved his hands and said repeatedly: "Guest officer, where is this? The name 'General' is so powerful and resounding. I see that you are a good-looking talent, guest officer. You will definitely be able to make a good general in the future. This name is placed on you. That's a perfect match."

"Pfft..." Water sprayed out of a soldier's mouth.

"Oh, my guest officer." Xiaoer put the rag on his shoulder, patted his chest and said, "Your little one is definitely not flattering, I dare not say anything else, I have been working in this store for more than ten years. What kind of people have you never seen before? Now I have already practiced the ability to read people. Although I dare not say that the eyes are sharp, but cats are dogs, donkeys are horses, and the small ones can still roughly see the way. The small one just now The reason why I asked you about your identity is because I think you have an extraordinary appearance and a natural atmosphere, and you may really be a general..."

Gululu... Just when Xiaoer was talking about the mouthful of foam and couldn't stop, Feng Chen's stomach was beating loudly again, and the Xiaoer suddenly remembered something, and quickly apologized to Feng Chen. Chen said: "Guest officer, did the small ones delay your meal? I'm really sorry, you go up first, the kitchen will prepare the rest of the small ones immediately and bring them to you."

Feng Chen nodded, and walked upstairs with the tray.

Pushing open the door, Feng Xiao was lying on the bed with his limbs spread out, groaning in pain, it seemed that he was very hungry.

Seeing Feng Chen coming back and seeing the food in his hand, Feng Xiao's eyes lit up immediately, he spat, staring at the food, as if he had been hungry for 800 years.If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't move because of his injuries, Feng Chen felt that he would fly up to him in the next second, gobble up the meal, and maybe even swallow himself by the way.

When he put the food on the table, closed the door, and walked to Feng Xiao's bed with one of the dishes, the wolf boy's stomach was already louder than thunder.

Feng Chen shook his head and sighed: "What the hell did I do in my last life to cling to a hungry ghost like you."

Feng Xiao took a bite of a chicken leg and devoured it hungrily, so he didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Feng Chen pretended to be angry: "If you don't pay attention, I'll leave." After finishing speaking, he made a gesture to get up, seeing the food in his mouth was about to slip away, Feng Xiao became anxious, grabbed him, and immediately hummed again He groaned and fell back on the bed, howling and rubbing his waist.

Feng Chen looked more and more amused, took the chopsticks, and kept stuffing something into his open mouth.Feng Xiao was lying on his stomach like this, he chewed slowly and swallowed slowly, but after being stuffed like this by Feng Chen, his cheeks were soon stuffed with food, and he had a pair of wolf-like bright eyes , Coupled with the low growl coming from the throat, the whole person looks like a little wolf with a swollen face, Feng Chen laughed so hard that he wanted to punch the wall.

The two of them were fighting and fighting, eating a meal like a fight, Xiao Er diligently delivered the food up tray by tray, joked a few words from time to time, and praised Feng Chen from time to time, he really lives up to his name, repeatedly He ate food differently, which made Feng Xiao confused.

After eating a meal for nearly an hour, the dishes on the table were piled high into a pile.The ground is clean and tidy, after all, Feng Chen is pretty good at it, he can basically pick up the dishes that were sent flying by Feng Xiao.

After eating and drinking enough, the two began to think about the future.

To be honest, Feng Chen really didn't want to kill Li Xi Ruo, but he didn't dare to rush back like this, and pointed at Feng He's nose directly in front of Feng He and said, "I won't kill you, you have the guts to kill me!" Ah." Wasn't he afraid that Feng He would drag him out and chop him up in a fit of anger, after all, no one else knew about the assassination, and he couldn't tell others about it, Feng Chen was not disrespectful at all. , Feng He couldn't find a reason to cut him, and if there was no reason, Feng He wouldn't dare to cut him.

He was afraid, so Feng He bypassed him, and directly did it himself, using other more ruthless moves to crush Li Xiruo and even Li Guo.

Although Liguo is a big country, the civil strife five years ago really hurt Liguo's vitality.The economy, agriculture, and system have all suffered considerable damage. The most important thing is that a large number of scholars, civil servants and generals died in the turmoil. The people of the country have lost all confidence in the imperial court, and the Li Guo people are originally indifferent. Many people do not want to be officials in the court even if they are full of knowledge and talents.

Therefore, in the past few years, the most troublesome thing for Li Xiruo is not how to sweep Liuhe and wipe out the world, nor how to keep a low profile and cultivate life, but how to find people with the ability to govern the country and let them enter the court as officials.

This is the biggest predicament that Li Guo is currently facing.

If a country is compared to a horse, the generals are the legs of the horse, and the civil servants are the head of the horse. Now this horse named Li Guo has four slender legs but is scarred and fragile. Although he still looks tall, strong and handsome, but if he continues to run like this, he will either rush out of the cliff and fall into the valley, or be tripped by others with a rope casually.

In contrast, Feng Guo is an impeccable horse, brave and vigorous, with light legs and hooves, and runs like flying clouds.

If Fengguo really wants to use troops to forcefully attack Liguo, it will only be a matter of time before Liguo is breached, but Feng He wants to exchange the smallest price for the greatest benefit, so he has to kill Lixi first. If Lixi dies, Liguo will die A headless horse may even break a few legs.At that time, as long as the army in the country is swept away like sweeping the ground, the country can be officially included in the territory

Seeing Feng He's ambitious appearance, about to dominate the world, Feng Chen felt that persuading him to give up annexing Liguo would be like letting a sow climb a tree.

Neither peace talks nor direct resistance seems to be the only way.

He raised his hand, and patted Feng Xiao's butt hard: "Xiao'er, accompany me to see the national teacher tonight, this general wants to take a good look, whether it is worth taking this risk."

"General..." Feng Xiao said weakly, without any energy, and infinitely sad: "Are you going to carry me behind your back?"

Feng Chen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said: "I forgot about this, okay, you have a good rest, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

After going out of the room and going downstairs, Feng Chen explained to the shopkeeper about the broken bed, paid some money, and asked Xiao'er to prepare another room for himself.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and two red lanterns were hung high outside. The dim yellow candlelight reflected the gold plaque under the eaves, and a faint warmth overflowed faintly.

A lot of people gathered in the inn, some of them sat around in groups of three or four, ordered a few small dishes, chatted while eating, and were very happy.Some people have just unloaded their luggage from their horses and walked into the inn wearily, patting the dust on their bodies while asking the shopkeeper to prepare the guest rooms.Some people were arguing, some people were crying... All of a sudden, people came and went in the inn, noisy and lively.

Feng Chen looked at it, and suddenly felt lonely for no reason. This is not Beiling, and these people are not those soldiers who have followed him for many years. He is now in a foreign land, standing alone in a small inn. , surrounded by passers-by from all directions, no one knew him, and in their eyes, he was a complete stranger.

I wonder what happened to Li Xiruo?Suddenly I really want to see him.Did he feel lonely when he returned to the country?Have you ever thought about going to Fengguo to find yourself?Has he suffered any grievances in recent years?

Feng Chen thought about it, and suddenly felt that he and Li Xiruo had really known each other for a long, long time. The other party had already become his flesh and blood, and even his longing seemed to be melted into the blood, thick, thick, and flowing slowly. As it flows, it flows all over the limbs and bones, and it can't be taken back, and it can't be stopped.

I really want to see him, but... Feng Chen retracted the leg that just stepped out of the gate, and he remembered that Li Xiruo stayed with him last night, and this morning he accompanied Li Wang to gather medicine , After returning, he probably dealt with government affairs all day long. He must be very tired now, so let him have a good rest.

Feng Chen resentfully walked back upstairs, sat in the room for a while, and found that he really didn't feel sleepy, so he got up and went straight to the rooms of other soldiers.He felt that since he couldn't sleep peacefully, he couldn't let other people sleep peacefully, so he planned to use actions to make others unable to sleep.
