Chapter 41 Nothing

"This Liu Jiang is really powerful, he has provoked him so many times openly and secretly, he has gritted his teeth and never got angry, no wonder he can give him such an important thing to do!" As soon as he returned to the barracks, Xu Mengmeng sighed.

"Then presumably the Black Fog Mountain must also be prepared, I'm afraid we will return in vain this time!" Chibane, who watched the whole process, agreed with Xu Mengmeng's words very much.

"Not necessarily, don't forget a point that is very important for the training of private soldiers!"

"Grain and grass?"

"Yes, eating and drinking so many people is definitely a big problem, they must have sent food to the mountains many times before we came, I don't believe that no one noticed so many times. Since the grain is out, someone must be in charge of procurement, so let's find out the person in charge of procurement first! "This is thanks to the previous days in Rongcheng, otherwise Xu Mengmeng really wouldn't have thought of going there.

As expected, on the second day, when Xu Mengmeng went to suppress the bandits with a mighty 2,000 people early in the morning, the buildings on the Black Fog Mountain were already empty, and there was no trace left, as if there had never been a bandit here, which shows how meticulous Liu Jiang is.

"Lord Liu, when Ning first arrived in Qingzhou, I heard that there are many skilled craftsmen in Qingzhou, and there are no errands for Ning's subordinates at present, so I plan to stay here for a while, and ask for advice from the experts in refining weapons here, and I can also improve when I go back in the future to make weapons for my brothers in the Ministry of Industry, Ning feels that the layout of the adult's mansion is exquisite, so it may be disturbing for a while!"

The meaning of Xu Mengmeng's words was very obvious, but she didn't directly say that she was going to live in Liu Jiang's house for a while, and she believed that Liu Jiang understood.

"Don't bother, don't bother, as long as the general doesn't dislike the humble house!" Liu Jiang did understand, but although he was unwilling, in the end, the official level crushed people to death, and in the end, he could only invite Xu Mengmeng, the plague god, to be offered at home.

In this way, Xu Mengmeng took Chi Yu and Qing Li to live in Liu's Mansion, and in the past two days, she asked Chi Yu to take people to the villages around the Black Fog Mountain to inquire about whether there was anyone to transport grain up the mountain, and he himself took Qing Li to wander around the major markets and neighborhoods.

The night in the deep winter was a little colder than in the daytime, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and although Xu Mengmeng, who was sitting at the table, was wrapped in a thick coat, he still retracted his neck into his clothes, and his hands were also covered with plush hand cages.

"Knock knock~" "Squeak~" Just when she wanted to get into the quilt, the door was knocked and pushed open, and Akabane, dressed in dark blue fur, walked in.

"How? Have you ever found out if there were people who regularly delivered food to the mountains before? How often do they deliver? What is the number of each time? ”

It was too cold at night, Xu Mengmeng really didn't want to sit on the cold bench more, so she simply asked everything she wanted to know in one go.

"No one has regularly brought large quantities of grain to the mountains, and the bandits on the mountains should have come down to buy them themselves in disguise." Akabane shook his head.

"None? How can it be? Could it be that I really thought too much and wronged him? But if someone from the government hadn't informed the news, why would the bandits know in advance and flee? Seeing that it was not the result he expected, Xu Mengmeng was a little uneasy.

"Maybe it's not the government to report the news, after all, the general is above the court to suppress the bandits, the news leaked and known to those bandits, with the general is now famous in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is not impossible for them to escape from you."

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, I heard that there are many skilled craftsmen in Qingzhou, since the trouble of bandits has been eliminated, then tomorrow I will go to find a shop and make a few lighter knives and daggers, and then we will go back!" Xu Mengmeng is not a person who insists on going his own way, since he guessed wrong, there is no need to waste time here.

"General"

"Qingli, didn't I tell you many times, the general is different from us, why don't you remember to knock on the door?" Looking at Xiao Eleven, who pushed the door in directly, Akabane's face darkened a lot, and he reprimanded in a low voice.

"Hehe~ Fourth brother, I accidentally forgot about it again!" Qing Li touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Why are you still as impatient as a child, when will you grow up and be as calm as Gu Xuan?" Chi Yu shook his head a little helplessly, obviously he is seventeen years old, but he is always unreliable like a child, everyone has reminded him so many times, and he has not seen any growth, I really don't know when he will really grow up.

"Fourth brother, I'm a year older than the general, can you stop comparing me with a child?" Qing Li retorted in a dissatisfied whisper, he is obviously seventeen, where is he still a child?

"Wait until you don't make a fool of yourself, what are you doing when you just roared in?" Chi Yu didn't think much of his words, in his opinion, this kid still had to work hard to grow up, so he didn't dwell on this issue with Qing Li.

"The general didn't say it was cold just now, so I planned to ask the housekeeper in the house for a soup bowl. When passing by a courtyard, I overheard the conversation of the people in the courtyard, saying that the relationship between Liu Jiang and Mrs. Liu was not very good, and Liu Jiang actually had an illegitimate son who was an official in Beijing. But isn't it good to see him usually for Mrs. Liu? Qing Li scratched his head in confusion.

"Where did you see that he was good to Mrs. Liu?" No wonder the other people of the Twelve Horsemen always say that Qingli has not grown up, this idea is indeed too simple.

"Qingli, the husband in this world is good to his wife, not because he doesn't take a concubine or gives her the right to be a housekeeper, but it really depends on how much he cares about the family of the two and how much he is willing to pay for this family.

From the first day we lived in the mansion, Liu Jiang either stayed in the mansion every day, or came to my house to chat and try, He once gave Mrs. Liu a few eyes. On the other hand, Mrs. Liu and his son have more respect for him, but they have never been close. ”

"General, I see!" Qing Li nodded thoughtfully, no wonder the general was younger than himself, but others had never treated her as a child, it turned out that the general saw the problem much deeper than himself.

"And what did you hear the name of that bastard? What is the official position? Although Xu Mengmeng admitted that he was thinking too much, he always had a trace of doubt in his heart.

"They didn't mention this, so I don't think it's very clear!" Qing Li thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head.

"Forget it, maybe I'm too villainous!" Xu Mengmeng pressed his forehead lightly, feeling that he could no longer look at Liu Jiang with colored glasses because of what happened at the beginning.

On the morning of the second day, Xu Mengmeng took the two of them to visit the blacksmith shops one by one, starting with the most famous Zhang's blacksmith shop.

Zhang's blacksmith shop

"Yo~ A few masters, please, what do you want to see?" As soon as a few people entered the door, a warm young man came to greet them.

"The three of us brothers are from other places, and I heard that the weapons in your shop are good, and I want to fight two daggers and a set of flying knives!" Without waiting for the other two to speak, Xu Mengmeng himself quickly entered the role of a guest and chatted with the young man.

Playing a set of flying knives was an idea she had a long time ago, this body is a daughter's body, she still likes lighter weapons, the sword is convenient and imposing to wear, but she still dislikes it a little in terms of weight.
