Although Yan Zheng's words are as deterrent as himself, the masters in the cardinal who have decision-making power are not all powerless people like Shi Lao who can't withstand the shock.

A few days later, after "careful consideration" in accordance with Yan Zheng's request, they promulgated the revised decision.

The Yanshi agreed with Yan Zheng's view that "those who are incapable are likely to die on the battlefield", but they did not intend to casually send such an outstanding talent to the battlefield as he was. Therefore, the final decision of the Council of Ministers was that reservists who did not meet the criteria for exemption from military service could refuse to go to the battlefield, but if they did, their salaries would be cut on a large scale.

Cowards always have to pay a little price if they want to save their lives.

In any case, Yan Zheng's toss still opened up a way for the tail of the crane in the cardinal. Yu Mochen lamented the weight of Yan Zheng's words, but also keenly noticed that the reissued resolution of the Cardinal mentioned the issue of salaries.

Yu Mochen is usually a person who has more than one thing and is better than less, but in front of the salary, he always has to fight. She knew she would definitely go to the battlefield, but what if she didn't go because of her poor assessment results? Those who have too poor grades will be punished if they don't go; So, if she has the ability to pass the assessment and go under the banner of volunteerism, should the Cardinal give her some rewards?

The more Yu Mochen thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, so she took advantage of the fact that the heat caused by Yan Zheng's rebellion had not yet subsided, and she also mustered up the courage and put forward an opinion: If there are people who voluntarily go to the battlefield through the standard reserves, the salary should also be increased accordingly.

Originally, everyone had forgotten Yan Zheng's last proposal to voluntarily go to the battlefield. After all, except for Yan Zheng himself, no one was really interested in going to the battlefield. But since Yu Moji mentioned this matter, Yan Zheng immediately took over the conversation and strongly asked the Cardinal to implement this proposal to the end. If the Yanshi can be persuaded once, they will naturally be persuaded a second time. In front of Yan Zheng, a powerful thorn who has the heart to fight to the end, the old diehards have no choice but to bow their heads.

As a result, Yu Mojian and Yan Zheng, two people who had never dealt with each other except for the entire reserve rankings, successfully completed the first cooperation in their lives. For the reservists who have a boring life, this can be regarded as a strange news, and even Ling Ai, who has not appeared for a long time, has heard about it from nowhere.

One day, Yu Mojian went to the small star picking platform to train secretly as usual, and was walking back after practicing with a tired body, but on the way, he was startled by Ling Ai who suddenly jumped out. This fright is not only because I haven't seen it for a long time, but also because Ling Ai's image is unprecedentedly embarrassed.

After all, Miss Ling was from a family, and she paid a lot of attention to her image on weekdays, so Yu Mojin had never seen her busy like this—not to mention anything else, the two blue eye circles under her eyes looked quite abrupt when they appeared on Ling Ai's face.

Despite this, the sparkle in Ling Ai's bright eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

She greeted Yu Mojian, and said with a smile, "I heard that you teamed up with Yan Zheng to defeat the old guys?" ”

Yu Mojian's face flushed, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "No, it's not." I actually ......," she suddenly stopped. The little bit of poor self-esteem in her heart was so bad that she couldn't bother to admit that she was just trying to get a salary.

Ling Ai carefully studied her expression for a while, and suddenly clapped her hands and said happily, "Yan Zheng really didn't talk nonsense. Looking at your reaction, I knew there was such a thing. ”

“…… Yes? Yu Moji looked at Ling Ai inexplicably, and before she could react, Ling Ai had already taken her over.

"You've always been like this." Ling Ai smiled, "If you do something amazing, you just have such a stunned image, as if you are afraid that others will take credit for you." ”

Yu Moji pulled his hair embarrassedly. How did she never find out that she had such a side?

"When Yan Zheng told me before, I didn't believe that you had such courage. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. Ling Ai patted her and said, "You just finished practicing, right?" ”

Yu Moji nodded. Since the last time she met Ling Ai to repair the wooden stake at the Little Star Picking Platform, the fact that she often came here alone to train has become a secret shared by her and Ling Ai.

Ling Ai said, "That's just right. I just finished my busy time, and I made an appointment with Yan Zheng to go out for a drink tonight. Let's go, have a little wine with us, and I'll officially introduce Yan Zheng to you. ”

“…… Why was it introduced to me? Yu Moji looked confused.

"That's what I'm coming to you for today. Yan Zheng said that he always wanted to thank you for helping him, but he always couldn't meet you, so I thought that today was a good opportunity, so I came here to try my luck. Besides," Ling Ai glanced at her and said, "Haven't you ever thought of it?" This time, the reserve who went to the south to quell the rebellion, I'm afraid that only Yan Zheng and you will be the only ones. ”

This time, Yu Moji didn't show that stunned expression again.

Ling Ai was right, looking at Yan Zheng's meaning, he would definitely go to the battlefield voluntarily; As for Yu Moji himself, he will definitely not be able to escape. Originally, the Cardinal also intended to take a few incompetent reservists to go with Yu Mojian, but now that the two of them have made such a fuss and re-designated rules, anyone who has a little ability to pass the assessment, or a little money can afford to pay a fine, can have a way to escape. There are more than 100 reservists in the Cardinal's house, and none of them take salaries too seriously and life too lightly like Yu Moji; No one will be as crazy as Yan Zheng and rush to death - that is, no one else will follow them to fight hard.

In this way, for a long time in the future, Yu Moji will have to coexist with Yan Zheng, and it is a good preparation to get to know each other in advance.

Thinking of this, Yu Moji couldn't help but glance at Ling Ai with a little gratitude. Even if Yan Zheng really brought up the invitation for this drink, Ling Ai deliberately found Xiao Xingtai's intention, which is also worthy of thanks.

Because of the large number of underground facilities in the Chamber, the surrounding buildings are strictly controlled. This area is very desolate, and there are not many taverns and teahouses that can be found, Ling Ai took the remaining ink marks around and around, and walked for a while before he arrived at a wine shop that looked quite simple.

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Yu Moji saw that the famous genius boy Yan Zheng was already sitting inside. This guy didn't wait for the two girls to enter the table according to the common etiquette of the nobles of the imperial capital, but asked for a pot of wine himself, and drank happily with a plate of peanuts.

Ling Ai walked over and said, "Why don't you wait for us?" ”

"You girls are always procrastinating when you do things." Yan Zheng took two cups to them, handed them the wine jugs and told them to pour the wine by themselves, "The shopkeeper has warmed the wine, I'm afraid that the wine will be cold when you come, so I have to drink it myself." Otherwise, wouldn't it be a good idea to live up to the shopkeeper's good intentions. ”

Ling Ai seemed to be accustomed to Yan Zheng's attitude, she just smiled indifferently, poured a glass of wine for Yu Moji, and admonished, "Yan Zheng's taste is unique to say that it sounds good." The wines he chooses are usually a little spicy. You take a sip first and see if you can get used to it. If it doesn't work, let's pick another pot. ”

Yu Mochen nodded, and as soon as he raised the wine glass to his chin, he saw Yan Zheng shrug his shoulders with some disdain, "I don't think there's anything wrong with this kind of wine." If you want me to say, the fashion of the imperial capital should have changed a long time ago. There is no shortage of veterans who have returned from the battlefield in the DPRK and China, but when they drink, they have to pretend to have a literary and crepe demeanor, and pay attention to what is luscious and has a long aftertaste. You have also been to many banquets, and you should have seen a full house of men, drinking more slowly than tea, almost like women; If you want me to say, even the eldest princess is more courageous than them. ”

Yu Mochen didn't have a chance to drink before, and originally planned to give it a try as Ling Ai said, but when she heard Yan Zheng's words, she suddenly poured a glass of wine into her mouth, and then flipped the wine glass, and said, "We women don't necessarily drink slowly. Before she finished speaking, she realized what Ling Ai meant by "spicy".

The cup full of burning wine almost burned out the tears of the ink marks.

However, she would not back down at this moment. She insisted on a calm face, finished her words clearly, gently put down the wine glass, and did not forget to add, "We don't procrastinate in doing things." It's just that Yan Gongzi asked me to drink this time, which seems to be a temporary idea. I am grateful for your kindness, but if there is an appointment in advance, I will never delay. ”

Yan Zheng was stunned for a moment. Seeing this, Ling Ai hurriedly played a round game, "Friends have a casual appointment with each other, you don't have to pay so much attention to it." She patted the ink marks again and said, "Don't be angry, Yan Zheng is like this when he speaks, even my father can't do anything about him." ”

"I'm not angry," Yu Mojin tried his best to suppress the wine that was churning in his throat, "The first time I made a face-to-face, I wanted to leave an accurate impression on Yan Gongzi, so as not to let him misunderstand me." ”

"There was no misunderstanding, but now there is." Yan Zheng picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth accurately, "I heard that you are a shy and wooden girl on weekdays, and your words and deeds are more dignified than the real imperial capital ladies." Now, it doesn't seem to be. ”

"Maybe it's because of the alcohol." The feeling of dizziness rushed all the way to Yu Moji's brain, causing her temples to ache; But the kind of timidity she often has towards the living people in her daily life seems to be stirred aside by this dizziness, "But Qi Ren has a saying—how do you say it—and spit out the truth after drinking?" I'm not really a girl. I, like you, am a reserve of the Privy Council, and I have to go to the south to quell the rebellion of the bandits. ”

Yan Zheng's steel teeth were still dealing with the unlucky peanut. Hearing this, he stopped chewing, and only stared at Yu Moji with his eyes open, "What did you say?" Are you going to go to war too? ”

Yu Mochen asked him inexplicably, turned his head to look at Ling Ai, and said, "What, Yan Gongzi, you don't know about this?" ”
