Chapter 2 – The Full Moon Shines

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, couldn't help but sigh secretly, the time they had just wanted to cultivate the Instrument Soul had become obscure again. However, since Su Yao wants to see them, it is not good for them not to see Su Yao, after all, they live here, and most of them still have to rely on the help of this Su Yao. So, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, took the credit, opened their eyes and slowly stood up, and pushed open the door of the room in front of them. Outside the door of this room, a young man in a plain white robe was waiting at the door with his head bowed, and he looked at the two siblings Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan in front of him with a funny expression.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, knew that it was impossible to meditate now, and since Su Yao had come here, there must still be something to find them. The two siblings couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, what happened in this accident was really unexpected for them, and it also caught them off guard.

Coming down to the third floor, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, met Su Yao, the governor of Yangcheng, who was smiling at the staircase on the second floor.

Su Yao's actual age is actually not very old, just because in the past two years, he has gradually been a little weak in terms of personality and behavior, and his control over the army is not very strong, so it naturally led to the military power he held before being withdrawn, and he himself was sent to such a remote place for him, a general- Yang Cheng came to garrison, which also made him add countless things to his heart, now he is only in his early forties, he looks like an old man in his fifties, his black hair is mixed with countless white hairs, and some of his beard has also turned into a silver-white color, the whole person does not look like he is very energetic, but seems to be a little sluggish state and appearance. What is even deeper is that in many cases he does not deal with the daily happenings here, and just throws these things to his several important officials to do, and he himself lives in fear every day.

However, since the envoy of Her Majesty Empress Chen Xinyu came here yesterday, Su Yao just felt that a big stone in his heart had been completely let go, and the problem that had bothered him for a long time had finally become clear. This night, Su Yao completely became relaxed, and for the first time, he slept peacefully and woke up naturally. Of course, this morning, he woke up from a deep sleep, his first reaction was to come to meet Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, after thinking last night, he has basically figured out a lot of things now, including what he wants to do now as a general who leads the army.

It didn't take much time to get from Su Yao's governor's mansion to Zuiyang Restaurant, and under the protection of the four closest guards, Su Yao had already arrived at Zuiyang Restaurant in just half an hour. Moreover, on the way, Su Yao also went to a tea shop and listened to what the people in Yangcheng were talking about now. If it weren't for this reason, I was afraid that Su Yao would come here faster.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, greeted them with a smile, and greeted Su Yao, who was sitting in the private room in front of him and was drinking sake unhurriedly, and said, "The general is so interested, I don't know if there is anything important about coming here so early?"

Su Yao smiled slightly, "The two of you will take a seat first, if we have something to say, we can talk slowly, this is not in a hurry." Su Yao immediately waved his hand, signaling the four guards standing at the door of this private room to leave for the time being, and at the same time instructed, "You tell the shopkeeper to get a few dishes that accompany the wine, and other snacks and meals are not needed, I have to have a good talk with the two distinguished guests."

"Yes!" These four guards are all elite soldiers who have been trained, and they are all existences that unconditionally obey Su Yao's orders. In just a while, two plates of side dishes were already sent in outside the door of this private room, one of these two side dishes was a small plate of pickles and a plate of clear lotus root, which was also an excellent appetizer at this time.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, actually didn't care much about these now, they sat down opposite Su Yao, and the two of them warmed the two bottles of sake that had already been placed on the table, Feng Yuchong said with a smile: "The general's taste is a little special, ordinary people like the simplest spirits when they drink, and the taste is naturally stronger." I never thought that the general would like such a light taste now, which is really unique."

Su Yao smiled slightly, he turned the wine bottle in his hand slightly, took a sip lightly, and then explained with a smile: "Isn't it the same for the two of you? Compared to a regular liquor and that kind of full-bodied liquor, such a light feeling is refreshing, isn't it?"

"The general said well, come, I'll give the general a glass!" Feng Shanshan quietly smiled and raised the wine bottle in her hand, raised it there and saluted Su Yao. Su Yao laughed, and also raised the wine bottle in his hand, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a happy person, to be honest, Su is still very envious of the two of them living such a free and easy life." But Su really has a question, I want to ask the two, I don't know if the two of you know one or two?"

Su Yao's appearance that was still laughing suddenly became very serious and simple, and this situation made Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, who were originally a little relaxed, suddenly silently become serious. Of course, the two brothers and sisters did not show the color of this, but silently chose to listen to Su Yao to continue.

"Since the two of you are Her Majesty's confidants, you must know a thing or two about Her Majesty the Empress and the situation in front of us, and perhaps the situation we can face at this time is still relatively grim. Even if we have a truce with the Chen family of the royal family, the situation in front of us is indeed not optimistic" Speaking of this, Su Yao couldn't help but glance at the wooden window in the north of this drunken sun restaurant, and his gaze looked very complicated.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, followed his gaze to the southern window of this drunken sun restaurant, and both of them had completely understood Su Yao's current concern. This relationship is because now they have nearly 130,000 troops on both sides of the Qi State and the Feng State, but no large-scale battles have broken out. This point really made Su Yao a little uneasy.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan's eyes were very serious, looking at Su Yao's movements and demeanor, the two brothers and sisters probably guessed something in their hearts. Feng Yuchong pondered for a while, and asked slowly, "I don't know, what do you think now, general?"

Su Yao sighed silently, "What else can I do, I only have fifteen thousand troops in my hands now, and I can only look at the situation in front of me and have no choice." The only possibility is that Her Majesty the Empress will send at least 30,000 troops here to help, but it must not be possible now, especially at this time, since there is a civil war in the north, then it is impossible for us to send troops here, but there are still some of the more than 100,000 troops at the door of Chen Bing's house."

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, silently narrowed their eyes slightly, they have now completely figured out Su Yao's worries, what he is really worried about is not the situation in the north, but now located in the south of Yangcheng, the two countries of Feng and Qi, Chen Bing has become the most helpless place in his heart.

This time, Feng Yuchong quietly gave his sister next to him a look, and Feng Shanshan naturally understood what his brother meant. She smiled and said, "The general doesn't need to worry too much, although now His Majesty may not have the time or strength to send troops to help you, the general." But did the general ever think that with His Majesty's wisdom and wisdom, how could she not think of the joints in this? If the Feng State and the Qi State could really join forces and gather 120,000 troops to attack this place, would the general be able to prevent the arrival of that army with only 15,000 troops? Therefore, naturally, it was impossible for His Majesty not to act like this. So, the general doesn't have to worry too much."

Su Yao naturally thought of some of these possibilities, but because of the rumors, he really didn't have time to take care of these relationships. After a short reminder, the reminders of Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, made him wake up like a dream, he stood up silently, bowed slowly and thanked: "Thank you for the reminder, this is indeed that I can't think about the problem, maybe I really lack the ability to think about the problem in depth." Naturally, I'm going to do my best to fix what is happening right now. I don't know, what are you going to do now?"

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, glanced at each other, and they suddenly realized that this Su Yao was not a more careless person like they thought in the original situation, and he was still careful in this regard. It was such a simple and easy questioning that revealed that he was not a very careless soldier, and that he was very careful about everything in many cases.

Feng Yuchong smiled slightly, "The general is really a cheerful person, we are planning to stay in Yangcheng for a few days now, this shouldn't bother the general, right?" Feng Yuchong said this, and slowly turned the wine bottle in his hand.

Su Yao smiled and waved his hand, "The two of you are my honored guests, I have already ordered that no matter how long you delay here, you don't have to worry about anything, I will help you do everything." If you two need anything, just let the shopkeeper here come to me?" After speaking, Su Yao drank all the sake in his hand and got up to say goodbye.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, looked at the back of Su Yao leaving in front of them, and the two brothers and sisters couldn't help but sigh secretly, maybe they underestimated this Su Yao's real ability. After all, as one of the three major generals, if he didn't even have such a vision, he would be in vain.

At this time, Feng Shanshan slowly proposed: "In this case, it is not realistic for us to continue to practice today, why don't we go to Yangcheng for a while?"

This is a good suggestion, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, hurriedly finished the three small dishes in front of them, and then got up and left, compared to other things before, this matter is a good thing for them to look forward to.
