Lan Shuying was stunned for a moment, but after listening to a few words, she gradually understood what he meant.

At the same time, she couldn't help but judge in her heart: I don't know whether I live or die, I am old and fearless.

For example, the king of Mongolia only wears dark clothes with gold ornaments, while this old man wears purple and red, embroidered with a silver silk deer head, indicating that he is a civil servant and is in charge of etiquette.

The old man had no black hair left, his face was full of ugly folds, and below his sparse eyebrows, two points of indifferent light flew out of the triangular hole.

He glanced at Lan Shuying and continued to be a lobbyist with King Meng, trying to persuade King Meng to give up asking for spices and the later planting and promotion issues just mentioned.

Lan Shuying originally thought that she would know the ending of this matter with her toes:

King Meng has a haughty temperament and is a glutton, but this man jumped out and poured cold water when he was at his highest, and prevented him from eating happily.

However, the truth made her a little stunned.

King Meng was silent, did not get angry, and did not refute.

He just looked at the old man with that helpless look, and suddenly, as if he thought of something, he looked at Lan Shuying with a vague expectation.

Expect?

What do you see me doing?

A cloud of fog appeared on Lan Shuying's head, could it be that King Meng wanted her to help?

……

In fact, the meaning of the old man can be summed up by a well-known theory: to preserve the principles of heaven and destroy people's desires.

But the old man apparently narrowed the bar too strictly.

In his opinion, King Meng should take the lead, carry forward the style of hard work and simplicity, and don't think about those bells and whistles! Don't be too miscellaneous in your desires, some of them just eat two bites, think about their hometown in the Northern Desert, how many people have nothing to eat as soon as they spend the winter!

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, as a king, how can you form a good military style if you don't take the lead yourself? When will the Mongol army take over this fertile land in the south?

The old man made a generous statement, and all the ministers were so sprayed by him that they all shrunk their necks, and they couldn't receive the king's call for help at all.

The more Lan Shuying looked, the more she wanted to laugh.

It turned out that this old man was the great elder of the Mongolian clan, and this position was generally equivalent to the teacher of every king of Meng. In any way, he crushed this group of prime-aged people to death, so that they could only bow their heads and listen to the training.

"Ahem."

She cleared her throat, "Great Elder, there is a degree of desire, this is true. But if this rope is tightened too tightly, it will hurt the majesty of the king. ”

The Great Elder glared at her, "Who are you, how come I have never seen you?" What insight can you have when you are young? ”

I didn't see this old man in the tent during the day, Lan Shuying thought to herself, if you had heard of Wu Xiaoxiao's notoriety, you wouldn't dare to speak like this now.

She shrugged her shoulders and said faintly in the nervousness of everyone, "The Great Elder doesn't need to ask me who I am, just think about it, if this matter gets out...... Outsiders, especially the people of the Central Plains south of Wuyang City, let them all listen to it, the dignified Mongolian king, even if he wants to eat meat and sprinkle two more spices, he has to be controlled, guess what they will say? ”

The Great Elder was silent, he just thought that if he allowed King Meng to come, it might cause a bad influence within the army, and he was afraid that it would make the generals worry about their king's arrogance.

He was excited for a while, but he didn't expect that this matter could be big or small, in case it was spread one-sidedly, the people of the Central Plains would definitely blow it up, and when the time came, King Meng would be said to be a person who was held hostage by his subordinates...... That would damage the king's prestige even more.

Not to mention what King Meng himself would think at that time, and what would the people think of him?

It's really old.

He thumped his forehead and sighed.

"I think the king acts in moderation, wise and decisive, and will definitely not become a slave of desire, the great elder is worried that the king can see loyalty, maybe he is in a hurry."

Lan Shuying raised the plate of meat in his hand that was gradually getting colder, and tapped the bottom of the silver plate with his knuckles, attracting their attention, and elaborated: "The desire of the mouth is very interesting, you have to eat when you are hungry, and the newborn child understands it, and no one needs to teach him at all, this is the principle of heaven." ”

"I don't get tired of eating, I don't get tired of eating, I not only want to eat enough, but also eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and eat delicacies that others can't taste, that's excessive." But the Great Elder, look at it, what is the king eating? It's still meat, it's mutton that everyone can eat, and you don't necessarily have to take the most delicious piece of a sheep to eat it. ”

The goatee minister next to him came back to his senses, and King Meng quietly raised his eyebrows at him, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Well said! ”

The sound he made by clapping his hands seemed to give him encouragement, and he said stubbornly: "All of our Mongolian men are warriors who stand up to the sky, and the king is the best among them, he should have enjoyed the best things!" Ahem, the mutton that the minister tasted just now was really delicious, so the minister dared to ask the king to give an order to send our warriors to collect more spices, and the whole army would eat a full meal, and then attack the city! ”

These words won King Meng's heart, and before the Great Elder could come back to his senses, he waved his hand and agreed directly.

For gluttonies, once the mouth is satisfied, it is not far from the recognition in the heart.

Although Wu Xiaoxiao's reputation is not good, King Meng himself knows that raising her may not be a problem for raising tigers. But after Lan Shuying appeared, he first came up with a plan, and then showed his strength, and won King Meng's heart in handling things...... Such a wonderful person, he, he is reluctant to let go!

After that night's feast, the next day, Lan Shuying led the team out and came back after looting a few bags of wild spices.

This team of Mongolian warriors didn't know whose skin she was on, and they were not nervous at all when they got along with her, plus she deliberately made friends, and when she returned to the camp, the captain was already so affectionate with her that he was about to bow down.

This made King Meng, who was observing in the dark, even more reassured.

He had a deep talk with her, and then placed her in a corner of the camp.

It was quiet, just what she wanted.

Now that she has a place to live, Lan Shuying officially began to make requests to the Mongolian warriors, and generously sent them out to collect medicine and catch poisonous beasts for her to extract the materials needed to make poison.

The title of poisonous warrior was backed, and King Meng gave her the green light, and her requests were fulfilled one by one.

The first batch of chronic poison powder has been handed over, and Goatee led the team to sprinkle the poison powder in the river at the upper end of Wuyang City.

This medicine is colorless and tasteless after being dissolved in water, and the effect is not obvious in the short term, but after accumulating to a certain amount, the effect is considerable.

The Mongolian spies found that the soldiers and civilians in Wuyang City should eat what they should eat, and they should practice normally, and there were no traces of poisoning at all. After the report, some Mongolian ministers were a little suspicious of Lan Shuying, but they didn't say it explicitly.
