Chapter 118 Put your face under the horse’s hooves...

At the large square table, Cheng Yaojin and three people were sitting on three sides, Li Wan was on the opposite side, and the maid was on one side.

Wiping the red oil on her lips with a handkerchief, Li Wan turned slightly red and put down her chopsticks reluctantly.

What a shame!

Just when I was feasting, I happened to meet acquaintances, and they were three elders. What a coincidence!

Looking at half a bowl of red-oiled haggis in front of Li Wan and half a fried dough stick with a few bites, Cheng Yaojin swallowed hard and quickly looked away.

The waiter also saw something was wrong and hurried to the kitchen to find Lao Wang.

Under Li Wan's intentional hint, Lao Wang immediately understood and went to the kitchen to work in person for a while.

Not long after, three steaming bowls of red-oiled haggis and a few steaming crispy fried dough sticks were brought out and placed in front of Cheng Yaojin and the others.

"Three of you, please use it slowly. If it's not enough, don't worry."

"Since you are your friend, just call me if you need anything."

After Lao Wang said hello with a smile, seeing that these people had something to talk about, he hurried out.

Li Wan smiled slightly, regained her dignified appearance, and said: "Three uncles have come all the way. They must be starving. Try these red-oiled haggis and fried dough sticks. They taste really good!"

The looks the three of them looked at her just now made Li Wan want to crawl into the cracks in the ground.

At this moment, the red oil haggis was served, and Li Wan subconsciously wanted to let Cheng Yaojin and the others understand that there was a reason why he was so high.

"Hmm...this tastes really good..."

"What is this red oil haggis called? And fried dough sticks?"

"I've never seen anything like this before. It smells so fragrant and a bit strange. Why is it so strange..."

The three of them were also very hungry, so they picked up the fried dough sticks and took a bite. Their eyes lit up, and they picked up another chopstick of haggis from the bowl and started eating.

There are only one bite and countless bites in the life of a foodie. The curiosity of the three of them was instantly shattered by the red-oiled haggis, one chopstick after another, one deep-fried dough stick after another...

Not long after, after Lao Wang served the third plate of fried dough sticks, he looked at the three of them with a strange expression.

Starving ghost?
Haven't eaten?
Where did this come from?

Finally, after three plates of fried dough sticks and all the red-oiled haggis soup, even Li Wan was stunned.

Cheng Yaojin touched his belly and took a long breath: "Huh... this is how it feels, so good!"

Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong also enjoyed their meal very happily. The waiter brought another pot of hot tea. Li Wan took it and poured it for the three of them. She said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng, how does it taste?"

Cheng Yaojin narrowed his eyes in comfort and praised: "It's so delicious. Among the good things I, old Cheng, have eaten, it's enough to be in the top three."

Top three?

Isn't it number one?

Li Wan was startled, then curiously asked: "How could it be?"

Yuchi Jingde laughed and said, "Xiao Wan'er, what Lao Cheng said is right. Have you ever had fried noodles? Potato feast?"

Li Wan was stunned. She had never heard of the fried potato feast, so how could she have eaten it?

"Hey, it's a pity that the chef is gone now, and it's hard to find such delicious food. It's so hard for me..."

Yuchi Jingde smacked his mouth, as if he was still recalling the original taste.After eating and drinking, talking about business, Li Wan looked at the three of them curiously and asked: "Why did the three uncles suddenly come to Liangzhou?"

Cheng Yaojin and the other three were in Chang'an City, responsible for recruitment and training matters. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be running around.

Li Wan was also a little confused when he suddenly ran to Liangzhou.

Qin Qiong smiled slightly and said: "The recruitment and training of troops has come to an end. We have had nothing to do recently. If we want to come to Liangzhou City, I'd better ask your Uncle Cheng!"

Cheng Yaojin laughed, looked at Li Wan and suddenly said: "Xiao Wan'er, I heard that Hou Junji has arrived in Liangzhou, how are you doing recently?"

The three people who were close to Li Jing naturally knew about Hou Junji's ambitions.

For this money-grubbing man, Cheng Yaojin and the other two people didn't have a good impression of him either.

Li Wan pondered for a moment and told Liangzhou Master Yu Yuan's guess that night, with a slightly sad look on his eyebrows.

If something like this happens, it will be fine if it succeeds, but if it fails, you will definitely take on the huge responsibility.

Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong also frowned when they heard this. Their faces that were just asking casually suddenly became serious, feeling that the matter was not simple.

"So, Hou Junji came here to fulfill his wishes!"

"Right now, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is difficult to name. If Hou Junji finds an excuse to attack Tubo, and with these [-] defenders, he can really do it!"

Qin Qiong also thought of the seriousness of the matter and spoke.

Once this happens, Datang will fight on both sides, and the situation will be extremely unfavorable.

"Hmph, this son of a bitch has so many thoughts and still wants to take credit for a single battle. How is that possible?"

"I think His Majesty sent him here as a test. If he really sends troops rashly, this will be the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Cheng Yaojin said angrily, full of disdain for Hou Junji.

"Not necessarily..." Yuchi Jingde took over, "Tubo is considered a considerable force in the Western Regions, but now the country is weak. If we send out troops to conquer, there is a [-]% chance of winning."

"If Hou Junji is brave enough and Tubo is caught off guard, it is very possible for him to successfully capture Tubo!"

"When the time comes, even if His Majesty wants to be held accountable, such a large piece of fat will definitely be enough to make the ministers speechless..."

The three of them analyzed it and felt more and more that this time Hou Junji was not focused on guarding, but had a premeditated plan!
"No, I have to go see him and remind this old boy!" Cheng Yaojin stood up immediately.

Yuchi Jingde quickly grabbed him and heard Li Wan next to him say: "Uncle Cheng, don't worry, I don't think Hou Junji will make such plans for the time being. It will be difficult to capture Tubo with only one hundred thousand troops."

"Early this morning, I heard the city lord say that he went to the blacksmith shop in the north of the city. The three uncles must also know that the owner of the blacksmith shop in the north of the city, Song Laosan, was once the number one blacksmith in the Tang Dynasty..."

After hearing Li Wan's words, Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment: "He went to find Song Laosan. Who gave him the courage?"

Qin Qiong also frowned and said nothing.

Just listen to Li Wan continue to say: "It is said that Song Laosan got a piece of meteorite iron from the sky and is currently building a magic weapon. It is said that Hou Jun gathered here because of the piece of meteorite iron and wanted to build a weapon."

"But what I'm worried about is that if Hou Junji is determined to attack Tubo, he might have to discuss the issue of military armor with Song Laosan. This..."

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin was no longer anxious, sat down and smiled.

"Let Song Laosan help build armor weapons?"

"Then he is just putting his face under the horse's hooves, just looking for trouble!"
