Chapter 16 – Old Friends Reunited

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan had just walked into the tea shop that didn't look very spacious on the side of the road, and the originally peaceful expression on Feng Yuchong's face, who was originally walking in front, suddenly froze. The middle-aged man in front of him who was holding a brown teapot and staring at him made him wonder why an extremely familiar feeling rose in his heart. At this time, the middle-aged man in front of him in a plain robe couldn't help but smile deeply at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Why, don't you know an old friend? If I'm not mistaken, you were a high-spirited teenager back then, why do you look so sophisticated and mature now? What, are you interested in having a drink? Let's talk about old love?"

Feng Yuchong finally suddenly remembered who this middle-aged man who looked a little old, with traces of time on his body and hair, was sacred. Feng Yuchong couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in his heart, he didn't expect to be able to meet such an old friend here, in such a seemingly remote place. In fact, Feng Yuchong himself also understood that he didn't have much friendship with him back then, and he couldn't talk about how deep it was. It's just that the emotion of meeting an old friend in a foreign country makes him want to talk to this old friend, that's all.

This middle-aged man who opened a tea shop here is none other than the former deputy general of Feng Shi, the commander of the Fengqi Army, when Feng Shi was dismissed from the position of the commander of the Fengchi Army, it was this deputy general, Yuan Yu, who inherited Feng Shi's important position and commanded the Fengchi Army. And when attacking Qi State, he led the Fengchi army to work hand in hand with Qi State, and finally triggered the Donglinguan Holy War. After the end of the holy war, the two armies were disbanded, and Yuan Yu and Wei Ben, the commander of the Yunpin army, disappeared together. Feng Yuchong once thought that they had been caught and secretly killed by the Holy Emperor, but he never thought that he would be able to meet this old friend Yuan Yu who he thought had died a long time ago in such an unknown place. This point made Feng Yuchong feel very emotional.

Feng Shanshan was no stranger to everything her brother had experienced in the past when he was in the Qi Kingdom Royal Academy, and Feng Yuchong had told his sister almost all of them without reservation. Among them, it also includes the holy war launched by the Feng State and the Qi State in the East Linguan that year, that holy war, Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue also participated in this holy war as parties at the same time, and for them, in this holy war, what they remember the most is naturally these two leaders of the galloping army - Yuan Yu Wei Ben.

Feng Yuchong was quite impressed by him, and he suddenly felt that the current Yuan Yu was much older than back then, and the years had left deep marks on his face and body, making this middle-aged man who was only in his forties look as old as an old man in his twilight years, which made Feng Yuchong very surprised, but it was not good to ask this sentence first. So, he smiled and first introduced Feng Shanshan beside him to Yuan Yu, and then asked with a smile: "So, what good tea do you have here to entertain us?"

Yuan Yu smiled, the imprint of the years on his old face looked particularly indifferent and indifferent, at least now Yuan Yu has seen through everything in the world. He didn't want anything, he just hoped that he could just live like this. So, thinking of this, Yuan Yu was also relieved, and then said with a smile: "Although the business of the small shop is dull, I guarantee that the two guest officers are satisfied." Please!"

Feng Yuchong glanced at Feng Shanshan beside him, his eyes flickered, and he asked her if she would like to go into this teahouse to sit and rest? Feng Shanshan nodded to him lightly, and had no opinion.

Seeing that his sister had no objections, Feng Yuchong gladly accepted Yuan Yu's kindness, and the three of them walked into the tea shop that no one cared about and sat down, Yuan Yu used the teapot in his hand to pour a full cup for Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, and also poured a full cup for himself. Only then did he sit down in front of Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan. smiled and said: "You taste it first, see if the taste is suitable for your taste?" Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan picked up the teacup that was still steaming in front of them, and slowly tasted it, a fragrance and a mild and refreshing breath came to the face, giving people a very fragrant and mild feeling, Feng Yuchong slowly put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that General Yuan's tea tastes mellow, cool in the mouth, good tea!"

Yuan Yu waved his hand and told Feng Yuchong in silent language that he didn't need to call him a general anymore, he was no longer in the army, and now Yuan Yu was just an ordinary person. Feng Yuchong also understood what Yuan Yu meant, so he picked up the teacup in his hand, tasted it again, and stopped talking.

Instead, Yuan Yu took the lead in asking: "I don't know, why did you bring your sister to the Sealing Country? Could it be that you want to unite us to fight back against the Holy Emperor? Besides, as far as I know, after the Battle of the Fierce Stars ended, the Holy Emperor ordered that checkpoints have been set up around the Sealing Kingdom, and those who do not have tokens cannot enter, how did you come here?"

Yuan Yu's first sentence was a joke, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan also understood that this was already impossible, Feng Shanshan glanced at her brother Feng Yuchong beside her with a slightly worried look, her eyes flickered, as if asking Feng Yuchong if she wanted to tell Yuan Yuchong, who she didn't know, their real goal of action?

Feng Yuchong smiled, he was still in front of Yuan Yu, and he couldn't answer his sister's question, but he believed that his sister was so smart and clever, how eccentric, even if he didn't say it, he would see the reason from his attitude, so Feng Yuchong was not worried about the misunderstanding caused by not telling his sister.

Feng Yuchong put down the teacup in his hand and said in a deep voice: "It's not a secret, we came to Fengguo this time, but we went to a more dangerous place to help our friends. We got here with the help of a friend. Feng Yuchong didn't say a lot of them, so Yuan Yu might not be able to think clearly, but Feng Shanshan had already understood what his brother meant.

Yuan Yu thought for a while, he seemed to have a correct answer in his heart, and he didn't want to make any more detours, so he took a sip of tea and asked, "Your friend, his status in the feudal country must be unusual, right?"

Feng Yuchong nodded and did not deny it. Without waiting for Yuan Yu to continue asking, Feng Yuchong first diverted the focus of their conversation, and asked with a smile: "Why, how did you think of opening such a tea shop here, I see that your business doesn't seem to be very good, and you seem to be quite leisurely lately."

Feng Yuchong brought two temptations in this sentence, but Yuan Yu was not angry at all, shook the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "The key is that I am not very good at business, and I am not very clear about these ways of doing business, but my wife is very good at this, plus she knows how to get the most benefits, no, I will entrust this tea shop to my wife to take charge of it, and now I am just helping to take a look at the store." I'm really not very good at these things, and I can only do it like this now, which is already very good" Although Yuan Yu didn't say it, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan both heard a trace of joy in Yuan Tao's heart from his movements and tone, and it was obvious that Yuan Tao was actually enjoying this kind of life very much now.

After saying this, Yuan Yu raised his head and looked at the slanting sunset above his head, and he smiled and said to the two young people beside him: "It seems that it is not early now, let's pack up and go back to Shengcheng." This time I won't charge you for tea, and if you come again next time, you'll get what you pay for!"

Yuan Yu stood up and walked quickly in the direction of Shengcheng. This time, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan both showed extremely surprised looks on their faces, and Feng Yuchong couldn't help but ask, "What, don't you need to look at this tea shop?"

Yuan Yu smiled slightly, a deep smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he still left this tea shop so quickly, and left here directly without even packing up the teacups and teapots on the table, the road to Shengcheng from here is not long, and it can be reached in less than an hour. Yuan Yu didn't explain anything else to Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the brother and sister, along the way, they just continued to walk all the way, and they had already appeared at the gate of Shengcheng in a short time The last time, when Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue came to Shengcheng together, they felt that there were not many ordinary garrisons in Shengcheng every day. However, it seems that the garrison of Shengcheng is even smaller today, and there are not even a few defenders in sight on the tower, only more than a dozen soldiers patrolling back and forth on the tower.

At this moment, Yuan Yu, who had been coming here without saying a word, suddenly turned around and said to Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan behind him: "In recent years, the Holy Emperor has very few troops in Shengcheng, and there are only two thousand troops. There are even fewer garrisons in the county towns around Shengcheng, and basically they can't even garrison three hundred soldiers in each county" After saying this, the corners of Yuan Yu's mouth couldn't help but flash a cold smile, and it was this smile that made Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan have some doubts in their hearts. However, the two of them didn't ask what was going on, but directly chose to follow Yuan Yu all the way forward, and the surrounding city guards did not come to obstruct the passage of these ordinary people into the city, so Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan followed Yuan Yu all the way, and easily returned to the outside of Yuan Yu's residence.

Yuan Yu's current residence is not a very conspicuous place, it is basically located in a relatively remote area, but at least it is still quiet. It is precisely because of these reasons, coupled with the fact that he usually hides his name and is low-key. As a result, few people know his true identity. At this moment, Yuan Yu walked to the door of his house and knocked on the wooden door of his house.
