Lijiaao is just a small village, because it is located at the intersection of Wenshui and Surabaya, so it has always been prosperous, even in this kind of war and chaos, many institutions in the village are still operating normally, just because of the intervention of the army, it still brings a lot of inconvenience.

For example, at this moment, with the entry of Feng Duo's team, the entire Li Jiaao was under martial law, and all personnel were not allowed to go out or enter, which made many businessmen instantly shrouded in gloom, but they didn't dare to say anything.

For them, a one-day blockade will have to bear huge losses, not to mention that they don't know how long the blockade will last.

Merchants are like this, and the local people are even more so, during this time, people have left one after another, fleeing to the north, and those who have not left are either reluctant to give up their hometown and are still hesitating, or they can't give up their ancestral inheritance, and they still need time to operate.

Now that the sudden blockade is still unknown to many people, and according to various speculations and rumors, people are suddenly panicked.

Ma Jun was a little depressed, in the Xifeng grassland, at the time of life and death, he finally expressed his mind to Gao Ningning, the sky is pitiful, they survived, originally thought that this way, as long as he took the initiative, he could impress Gao Ningning's heart, who wanted to kill a childhood sweetheart Feng Xiaowei halfway.

Especially after the two met, the emotions in each other's eyes made him feel uncomfortable.

After Feng Duo handed over the matter to the generals stationed in Lijiaao, he went directly to the place where everyone in the academy lived, but he had no choice but to buy chicken drumsticks for Qin Qin, and he had to talk.

Although everything is expensive nowadays, and it is even more difficult to see meat in the army, it is reasonable that because of these people from Wuya Academy, they were able to keep those supplies and invite people to have a meal.

The garrison arranged a private school for the academy, and because of the war, the gentlemen who taught had already fled for their lives and had been abandoned for a while.

The private school is not big, but it has everything available, in the yard, there is a well, and there is an old locust tree that does not know the age.

As soon as Feng Duo and Ma Tianming entered the courtyard, they saw a figure flying over, and then fell directly to the ground.

Feng Duo looked at Mo Yan, who was a little embarrassed, and frowned: "Brother Mo, this is ......"

Mo Yan got up from the ground with a smile, and before he could speak, Qin Qin walked out from the side of the locust tree, glanced at Feng Duo and Ma Tianming, frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Feng Duo said with a smile: "I thanked the academy for helping to keep this batch of supplies, and in order to express my gratitude, I would like to invite you from the academy to have a meal." ”

Qin Qin raised his eyebrows, "The chicken leg that promised me won't forget, right?"

Feng Duo smiled and said, "I don't dare to forget, although I don't have much money, I will definitely let you eat enough." ”

Mo Yan smiled and said, "I'll call them." ”

As he spoke, he patted the dust on his body, and then walked around the old locust tree and walked towards the place where everyone lived.

Mo Yan came to Su Mingrui's door first, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Su, Captain Feng, please eat, do you want to go?"

Su Mingrui opened the door and said, "It just so happens that I have encountered some problems in my cultivation, so go out and relax." ”

Mo Yan nodded and said, "Then you prepare, I'll call the others." ”

After speaking, he came to Zhang Yi's door, and before he could speak, Zhang Yi had already walked out, and asked, "Is there any wine?"

Mo Yan smiled bitterly: "There should be." ”

Zhang Yi stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, "That can't be without me." ”

Mo Yan continued to inform the others, Zeng Changsheng, Ma Jun, and Luo Wei did not postpone it.

Mo Yan continued to inform Yue Fangfei and these women, the first to come to Gao Ningning's room, Gao Anan and Gao Ningning lived together, Gao Ningning did not speak, Gao Anan agreed.

Then there was Quiet and Yue Fangfei, Quiet was originally promised, but because Yue Fangfei said that she couldn't go because of something, Quiet also chose to stay.

Yue Fangfei didn't deliberately tell anything, but just asked Mo Yan not to quarrel with others as much as possible, so that there were only two women from the Gao family sisters in the team, of course, Qin Qin was an exception.

And Feng Duo had already asked Ma Tianming to arrange it, and gave Ma Tianming all the military salaries just issued this month, and specially ordered that they must be more generous.

Soon, Ma Tianming ran back, and then led everyone to a restaurant called "Good Again".

There were a lot of people in the restaurant, and after just one glance at everyone, these people withdrew their eyes and whispered something.

Xiao Si of the restaurant quickly ran over, led everyone up to the second floor, and then entered a room that was extremely richly decorated.

Feng Duo pulled Ma Tianming and frowned, "How much does this cost?"

Ma Tianming smiled and said: "General, don't worry, I've taken care of everything, since I am a powerhouse of Boundless Academy, I can't lose my identity." ”

Feng Duo smiled helplessly, "You still have to send your money home, it's all taken out, what does your family eat?"

Ma Tianming shook his head and said, "My father and my mother don't have to worry about food, I'll send them more next month." ”

Feng Duo didn't speak, and patted Ma Tianming on the shoulder.

Ma Tianming asked, "General, can you make an exception today and have a drink?"

Feng Duo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Saying that, he pushed Ma Tianming, and the two entered the house.

The wine and food are served quickly, which is not a delicacy of the mountains and seas, but it is quite rich.

Ma Tianming raised his wine glass first, did not speak, but stood up, then turned around and walked to the side, and slowly poured the wine on the ground.

Feng Duo explained: "This is the rule in the army, if you win a battle, when you drink a celebration wine, you have to leave a glass for the dead brothers, although it is not a celebration wine today, but after all, you have touched the wine." ”

Everyone nodded.

Ma Tianming walked back at this time, poured another glass of wine, and said to everyone in the academy: "I, Ma Tianming, am a rough person and can't speak, but in the eyes of my Ma Tianming, you are all great heroes, so I respect you for this glass of wine." Do it first for respect. ”

After saying that, drink it all.

Everyone raised their wine glasses, but Qin Qin was unmoved, concentrating on dealing with the chicken leg in her hand.

Mo Yan was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I can't drink because of my body, I'm really sorry." ”

Feng Duo smiled and said, "It's okay. ”

Zhang Yi smiled at this time and said: "Since General Ma is so bold, I drank this glass of wine for Master Mo's nephew." ”

Qin Qin's mouth was full of oil, and he pouted: "If you want to drink it, just say it, why do you have to talk about Senior Brother Mo?"

Zhang Yi picked up the wine glass, a little embarrassed, he didn't drink it for a while, and he didn't drink it.

Feng Duo raised his glass and said, "Let's have a drink with Mr. Zhang." ”

After a drink, Feng Duo continued: "I'm really sorry, now that the prohibition has not been lifted, I can't accompany you to enjoy yourself, if you have the opportunity in the future, I will go to the academy to make up for tonight's shortcomings." ”

Zeng Changsheng said with a smile: "General Feng doesn't have to care, the academy doesn't have so many rules, since they are friends, just let it be." ”

Soon, everyone was full of wine and food, but Ma Tianming checked out, but he still didn't come back after going for most of the day. Feng Duo was just about to get up to see the situation when he heard an argument coming from downstairs.

Feng Duo frowned and said, "I'll take a look." ”

When he had finished speaking, he got up and walked out, and everyone followed.

Downstairs, Ma Tianming stood in front of the counter, his face was red, but the shopkeeper drooped his head, knocked on the abacus there, and then said to Ma Tianming: "That's right, a total of sixty-seven taels, double it is one hundred and thirty-four taels, four taels for you to erase, one hundred and thirty taels." ”

Feng Duo walked downstairs and said in a deep voice: "Ma Tianming, what's the matter?"

Ma Tianming turned around and ran in front of Feng Duo, and said in a low voice: "Okay, sixty-seven taels, but he said that we are soldiers, so we have to double it." ”

Feng Duo frowned, then walked towards the counter.

Perhaps because of Feng Duo's momentum, the shopkeeper was a little afraid, and involuntarily took a step back.

Feng Duo stopped and wondered: "It's obviously sixty-seven taels, why do you have to double it when you come to us?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Feng Duo again and said, "There is no reason, this is the rule of the small shop, and those who serve as soldiers are all doubled." ”

Feng Duo nodded, and shouted again: "Ma Tianming, did he make it clear to you before?"

Ma Tianming shook his head back and forth and said, "I didn't say it." ”

Feng Duo nodded and said to the shopkeeper: "Since you didn't explain it in advance, you have the intention of fraud, I can directly punish you and seal your restaurant." ”

Saying that, he didn't care about the change in the shopkeeper's face, and said to Ma Tianming: "Take the money." ”

Ma Tianming handed over all the silver to Feng Duo, and Feng Duo put the silver on the counter, "We only have so much money." ”

At this time, a bloated woman walked out, "Yo, it's great to be a soldier, you can be unruly, don't you want to punish the crime, don't you want to seal down my restaurant, you can try it." ”

Feng Duo frowned.

The woman glanced at the silver on the counter, then pushed it out, and instantly spilled it on the ground.

The woman said categorically: "One hundred and thirty-four taels, one less son, don't think about walking out of my restaurant." ”

Feng Duo said angrily: "You ......"

The woman stepped forward, "What's wrong with me, you still want to beat people, come on, come on, you fight." ”

Feng Duo clenched his fists tightly, then let go.

The woman sneered, "Don't dare, don't dare, just give money." ”

Ma Tianming stepped forward and smashed his fist on the table, the woman was so frightened that she fell to the ground, and then shouted directly: "The soldier beats people, and he beats people without giving money for dinner, there is no heavenly reason." ”

The people in the restaurant instantly pointed.

Someone shook his head and sighed: "Hey, it is because of these people that Tang Guo will be bullied again and again." ”

Someone scolded: "If you have the ability to go to the front line to kill the enemy, but come here to bully your own people, what is the difference between it and a brute." ”

Hearing that someone stood up, the shopkeeper also had the courage to wipe a handful of old tears, "Those of them who are soldiers don't go to the front line to kill the enemy, but they spend all day drinking, big fish and meat, which makes those southern barbarians continue to go north, and they are about to hit our doorstep, I charge them double the price, what's wrong?"

Soon someone stepped forward and said, "That's it, don't say double, even ten times and a hundred times are not too much." It's really a face, and you have to close other people's stores, you really have that ability, why don't you drive Song Guo to the south?"

Feng Duo closed his eyes and said lightly: "Ma Tianming, go back and get the money." ”

After saying that, he bent down to pick up the silver scattered on the ground, but was pulled by one person.

Feng Duo raised his head and saw Mo Yan.

Mo Yan grabbed Feng Duo, seemed to be thinking about something, and asked after a long time: "You are not wrong, why do you want to admit it?"

Feng Duo smiled bitterly and said sadly: "It is indeed our responsibility to stop the enemy, let the land fall, and displace the people. ”

Gao Anan ran up and sobbed: "Brother Feng, don't be a soldier, let's go home." ”

Feng Duo patted her head and said with a smile, "Silly girl." ”

Gao Ningning also walked up at this time, tears flashed in her eyes, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she couldn't imagine that the young master of the Feng family would be wronged like this.

Mo Yan bent down to help Feng Duo pick up the silver, then counted it, put it on the counter, and returned the excess silver to Ma Tianming.

He looked at the shopkeeper at the counter, "Soldiers are also people, and they will be given as much as they eat, which is very fair." ”

The shopkeeper frowned, and the woman had stopped crying, stood up and scolded, "If a soldier wants to eat and drink, he must give double, and not a penny less." ”

Mo Yan glared at her, and the woman lowered her head.

Someone in the crowd of onlookers suddenly said: "If you can't win a battle and want to drink wine and eat meat, you naturally have to pay more, which is also fair." ”

Everyone immediately chimed in.

Mo Yan closed his eyes and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

The man said: "It's okay if you don't give money, as long as you get out of Lijiaao, don't show up again." ”

The people in the entire restaurant suddenly shouted loudly.

Feng Duo said loudly: "Ma Tianming, go get the money." ”

Mo Yan suddenly grabbed Ma Tianming, and then walked towards the man who spoke.

Zeng Changsheng suddenly grabbed him, "Senior Brother Mo." ”

Mo Yan said softly: "Senior Brother Zeng, don't worry, I won't kill anyone." ”

Watching Mo Yan walk deeper and further, the man kept retreating and shouted again, "What do you want to do, I just told the truth." ”

Mo Yan stopped and stared at the other party.

As long as he is willing, he can easily kill the other party, in that way, no one will dare to speak up again, not to mention more than a hundred taels in the restaurant, and the original sixty-seven taels will not dare to ask for it.

Mo Yan has never been to the front line, and he has never seen the bloody battles of the soldiers on the front line, but he has seen Zhang Zhidong, the more than 100 veterans of the Zhennan Army, and the nameless barren mounds in the northwest of Shangyang City, and even the names engraved in the Mo family library.

He knew that these people were actually the same as the two people in front of him, as long as there was a need, they would rush to the front line without hesitation and die on the battlefield, he felt that such people should not be treated like this.

He was very resentful in his heart, he wanted to draw a sword, he wanted to kill someone.

If there is injustice in his heart, he will take out his sword, this is his way of swords, so no one can be killed, no one can be killed.

But he couldn't.

It's not because these people are the people of the Tang Kingdom, it's not because he is a descendant of the Mo family, he just doesn't want these people to deepen the misunderstanding of the Tang soldiers.
