The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 182 The Baiteng River is blocked and difficult to travel in Wu'an Prefecture ([-])

Murong Yunyao was just about to nod, but Wan Jianfeng smiled and said: "Old man, this young man advised you not to waste your time, you don't know how difficult this little witch is to serve. Don't tell me the money she spends on the next restaurant." I can buy you a hundred thatched huts like this, or you can buy eighty or ninety, how can she afford the meals you cook."

Ruan Jie was surprised and said: "Dare to ask who is this girl's father-in-law? It's a big mistake!"

Without waiting for Murong Yunyao to answer, Wan Jianfeng said first: "You mean her father, my father-in-law? That is Murong Yanzhao, one of the famous founding fathers of the Song Dynasty, who was once known as the number one master of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Murong Yunyao glared at him, and said unhappily: "Smelly beggar, when did my father become your father-in-law? Don't think that this girl can't deal with you because I'm hungry! Be careful, I'll give you a slap in the face! You go to heaven!"

Wan Jianfeng said nonchalantly: "You can do whatever you want. If you want to be willing, you can really send me to the west to cook for the Buddha. You can pick and choose here, and you will starve to death in a few days." !" Murong Yunyao knew that this stinky beggar would never let her go hungry, so she rolled her eyes and didn't bother to argue with him.Wan Jianfeng walked out of the hut with a smile, humming a little song, and the figure quickly disappeared at the intersection of the street.

Seeing Wan Jianfeng leaving, Ruan Jie smiled slightly, and then took out a jug of wine and two wine bowls, and put them in front of the two of them, "Both of you, you must be hungry, there is still a jug of wine, Drink quickly, both of you."

"Thank you, old man." Liu Cheng cupped his hands, poured a bowl full of wine, and picked up the bowl to drink it down.

Murong Yunyao hurriedly said: "General Liu, I know what that stinky beggar is doing. Why don't you wait for him to come back and have wine and meat to enjoy yourself.

Liu Cheng put down his wine bowl, and said half-believingly: "This Wan Shaoxia is really talented. Not only is he extraordinary in martial arts, but also witty, and humorous. So he is also a good cook?"

Seeing this, Ruan Jie quickly joked: "Both of you, the Wan Shaoxia you mentioned seems to be very addicted to alcohol. If he comes back, I'm afraid it won't be your turn to drink this jar of wine."

Liu Cheng shook his head with a smile, looked outside the door and waited.But he had waited for a long time, his stomach was rumbling and he still didn't see Wan Jianfeng coming back, so he had no choice but to eat miscellaneous cakes silently.The miscellaneous cakes were hard and dry, Liu Cheng just ate one piece, and found it very hard to swallow, so he had to suggest: "Miss Murong, why don't we drink a few bowls first, and when Wan Shaoxia comes back, we can eat and drink together."

Murong Yunyao nodded, "Alright, I'm thirsty too, so I'll drink a few bowls of it first."

Ruan Jie smiled and poured half a bowl of wine for Murong Yunyao, "Miss Murong, this old wine is much stronger than ordinary rice wine. You should try drinking half a bowl first, but don't get drunk."

Murong Yunyao said displeasedly: "You don't have to look down on people, you're full!" Ruan Jie saw that Murong Yunyao had a strong temper, so he didn't dare to disobey her, so he quickly fell down again.

Holding the bowl in his hand, Liu Cheng said to Murong Yunyao: "Ms. Murong, I was going to toast you, but I hope that Ms. Murong can help our army defeat a powerful enemy. I will never forget your kindness when we triumphantly return."

Murong Yunyao also picked up the bowl, and said: "General Liu, don't worry, with this girl here, she will be able to help you get rid of Qu Yue barbarians without any effort!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and just about to drink, suddenly a seductive aroma came in from outside the house, "Little witch, here comes the fresh grilled fish! This young hero is going into the sea for you at the risk of being swallowed by the fish demon and tortoise woman." Fishing, how can you thank me!"

Wan Jianfeng said, holding two grilled fish in one hand, and walked in swaggeringly.Each fish is inserted with wooden sticks, and all of them are roasted until they are charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Not to mention that the two of them haven’t eaten yet, even if they have just finished eating delicacies from mountains and seas, the smell of fish will whet their appetites, and they can’t wait to eat. There are ten articles and eight articles.

Murong Yunyao quickly put down the bowl, with a bright smile on the corner of her mouth, she reached out and grabbed a piece of grilled fish, and started to eat it excitedly.Wan Jianfeng gave another one to Liu Cheng and Ruan Jie, and they both thanked each other and started eating.

Wan Jianfeng smiled and sat down on the chair just now, and ate his grilled fish with the miscellaneous cakes until only fishbone remained.Afterwards, he reached out to get the jar of wine on the table, but suddenly he rolled his eyes and put the wine down again.

"Old man, why don't you drink such a good wine?" Wan Jianfeng said, pushing Murong Yunyao's bowl of wine in front of Ruan Jie.

Ruan Jie didn't know why, but suddenly panicked, "Wan... Wan Shaoxia, this old man is getting old and can't drink anymore. You three guests should drink."

Wan Jianfeng asked: "That's strange! Could it be that you can figure it out and know that the three of us are coming? Otherwise, why are you brewing so much wine?"

Ruan Jie hesitated and said, "These wines were... originally brewed for my son. It's not because there are guests at home, so they are brought out to treat the three of you."

Wan Jianfeng suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, your son? Old man, this young man thinks that there are no women or children in this village, and I think your family is completely extinct. I didn't expect you to have a son! "

Ruan Jie forced a smile on his face, "Haha, the young man just made a joke."

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said: "Haha, the forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds. This young man has been walking in the rivers and lakes for so many years, but this is the first time I see someone poisoning the wine made for his son. I don't know if your son is a rebellious one. Is it still a disaster for the country and the people? Is it because you don’t pay attention to filial piety, or beat your father and mother? Or is it that you are crazy, old man, and want to end your own life?"

Hearing what Wan Jianfeng said, Liu Cheng also seemed to realize that something was wrong.Whether it's the peddler at the entrance of the village, or the farmer resisting hoeing on the street, whether it's the people with closed doors or the villagers who fled, all of them are men.And when Ruan Jie appeared, the dozens of people surrounded by him were all strong and strong men, even worse than the Song Army who had been training all the year round.

It is reasonable to say that the women are hiding, but what about the children?How can the army in the world have trouble with children?Even though the women are afraid that the children will be harmed, they forcefully keep them by their side and do not allow them to go out to play, but they should have heard some crying sounds. Why have I not heard the voices of women and children after I have been in the village for so long?

Right now, there is only one explanation, an explanation that makes Liu Cheng's heart shudder, that is, the men in this whole village are not ordinary people at all, but Qu Yue's elite soldiers disguised as ordinary people.If this is the case, I'm afraid it will be too late for all regrets!
