Without waiting for Qi Ling to react, Gu Jinfeng nodded and responded: "Okay, more reminders from Brother Ning, we will be careful." ”

After that, Ning Ke continued to walk with the two of them, and after a while, he stopped at the gate of a remote villa: "Go in, the adults are inside."

Although he didn't know what was waiting for him inside, since he had already arrived here, there was no reason not to go in, Qi Ling calmed down his heart that was beating wildly due to nervousness, and stepped in with his skirt.

Ning Ke looked at the backs of the two at the door, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes.

As soon as he entered, Qi Ling saw two attendants guarding the door with serious faces, and as soon as he approached, he mercilessly raised the long sword in his hand to block the two of them and shouted: "Who is coming!" ”

Gu Jinfeng was not afraid of danger and said: "At the invitation of Lord Xu, I have come to ask to see you." ”

The two guards looked at each other, and there was a sound of "let them in" from inside, and they let them go.

Qi Ling, who was even more behind, muttered in his heart when he saw it, he didn't necessarily have someone to guard the door when he came to Xu Mansion before, why did he suddenly become so serious today?

Walking into the room, Qi Ling saw Xu Yu sitting on the main seat, wearing a lilac white crane embroidered shirt that looked very noble and imposing, and on the seat next to him was Zhang Mo, who he had seen before.

"See Your Excellency, General Zhang."

Qi Ling also bowed, and Xu Yu nodded: "No need to be polite, Miss Qi, I haven't seen you for more than a month, is everything okay?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, everything is fine."

"That's good, inviting you here today is actually something to discuss, let's sit down and talk about it first."

"Thank you, sir." After thanking her, Qi Ling sat down cautiously in the position next to Gu Jinfeng, although Xu Yu was not very old, but the aura of not being angry and arrogant still made her a little breathless, plus Ning Ke reminded her to go first, and after sitting down, she lowered her head and did not speak.

"Zhang Mo, what's going on on the front line?"

Zhang Mo put down the teacup and hurriedly said: "My lord, a few days ago, an urgent report was sent back from the front line that the Dacheng army seemed to be ready to move, and General Chen was already deploying the army, and the defenders of the border city should not be enough to rely on, but ......."

Xu Yu lowered his eyes: "Go on." ”

“… Yes, it's just that they just repelled them last time, and now it's only been more than a month that they have the intention of making a comeback, and General Chen felt that they must have relied on something, so he quickly sent the urgent report back to ask the adults to decide. ”

Qi Ling rolled his eyes, these words were obviously said to her and Xiao Gu, but General Zhang's words were indeed true, even if they fought a war, they had to pay attention to strategy, if they didn't rely on it, they would definitely not come over to send them to death, I really felt a little panicked when I thought about it.

Gu Jinfeng seemed to realize something, and his slightly narrowed eyes were a little more thoughtful.

Xu Yu's gaze turned on Qi Ling, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "They are naturally here for Lu Ye, as far as this official knows, this Lu Ye ancestor has been dedicated to the Dacheng royal family for generations, and knows a lot of secrets about Dacheng, this Dacheng King is naturally worried that if he doesn't say something with a solid mouth, it will be extremely inappropriate." ”

It turns out that there is such a reason in it?

Qi Ling raised his eyebrows, and then heard Zhang Mo sigh and said: "My lord is right, this Lu Ye can be regarded as a key figure in Dacheng, which is why the Dacheng King of the royal family is so nervous." ”

"What does Gu Xiaoyou think?" Xu Yu turned the conversation directly to Gu Jinfeng's side, who hurriedly got up and saluted and said, "After listening to the words of the Lord and General Zhang, the grass people do have some ideas. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"Now the most important problem between Dacheng and Daming is trade, once this problem is solved, then the relationship between the two countries will be greatly eased."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Zhang Mo: "General Zhang, just like I told you before, you have also tasted Ah Ling's craftsmanship, I am willing to give most of the recipes to Dacheng, as long as it is warm to eat and dress well, who wants to come out to fight?" ”

Zhang Mo frowned: "It's naturally a good thing that you are willing to take out the recipe, but Lu Ye is thoughtful, and his request is to take Miss Qi to Dacheng together... Look at this ......, my lord."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Xu Yu, he only found out about this matter yesterday, Lu Ye was willing to tell him the secret of the Dacheng army, but the premise was to take Qi Ling with him, and when the people of Dacheng learned the cooking method on the recipe, they would send her back.

"This will never work!" Gu Jinfeng replied with a serious face, Xu Yu slowly picked up the tea cup on the table, and skimmed the foam on it with the tea lid, even if he didn't say a word, Qi Ling still felt the unhappiness exuding from his body.

Qi Ling suddenly realized that he had come to them to discuss, and he obviously wanted to finalize the matter.

Zhang Mo looked embarrassed: "Gu Xiaoyou, you know how tight Lu Ye's mouth is, it's been almost two months now, and he didn't say a word, and now he finally has such an opportunity, I think... It's better to give it a try. ”

Gu Jinfeng sneered: "General Zhang, I am rich in materials and strong in the army, you won't be afraid of those barbarians just because of the loss of the border city, right?" What if Rouille doesn't say it? Since he is going to fight, then he will fight well, and if he uses a woman to sue for peace, wouldn't it make the people laugh when he spreads it! ”

Zhang Mo opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Yu who was seated.

"That's it! It's ugly for you to argue here now. ”

Xu Yu pondered for a while and looked up at Qi Ling: "I heard that Lu Ye likes Miss Qi's craftsmanship very much?" ”

Qi Ling, who originally wanted to be a shrunken quail all the time, was suddenly asked, and he couldn't slow down, blinking his eyes and being stunned for a long time before he nodded hurriedly: "My lord mean that prisoner?" He does like to eat. ”

He continued to say softly: "Then Miss Qi has her own opinion on this matter?" ”

Qi Ling tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "I'm just a chef who knows a little bit of craftsmanship, and I really don't know much about state affairs, but after listening to you and General Zhang say so much, I have a little feeling." ”

"Let's talk about it."

"Actually, my thoughts are similar to those of my husband, and now the reason why this Dacheng will send troops to attack Daming, a big step is that the survival of the people is threatened, in fact, we can adopt a soft policy, I heard that the Dacheng army is very powerful in war, if they can become a vassal state of Daming, Daming's military strength will gradually soar, then everything can be solved?"

Xu Yu smiled, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "If this Dacheng is really willing to become a subordinate of Daming, then everything is okay to say, but it's a pity that they insist on their glory, even if they live a barren life, they still refuse to surrender, and it was the favor of the saint at the beginning that they opened trade with them, and this group of guys was not only ungrateful but also sent troops to attack Daming City!" ”

Qi Ling's eyes widened, how could there be such twists and turns in this!
