When it came to Dingyuan Pass, Fan Yao still led the generals to greet each other, and still had a large banquet, relatively, as if nothing had happened. When he saw the reward for the Feng Jin Festival, he only replied with a smile: "General Feng went to charge the grain again, and when he comes back to see the heavy reward, he must be happy." ”

Lu Dongli was quite disappointed in his heart, and deliberately asked Wang Dabao secretly. However, with the lesson of the last time, Fan Yao arranged his residence near his bedroom, and sent two or three teams of personal soldiers to patrol the door, in order to protect Lord Qincha, he saw that his house could not fly into even a mosquito.

Where Lu Dongli is going, there must be a string of Fan Yao's henchmen behind him. The other soldiers retreated, and no one dared to come closer, which made the commander unhappy.

Lu Dongli delayed for a few days, and never saw Feng Jinjie come back, asked Fan Yao, Fan Yao only said that when Lu Dongli came, Feng Jinjie had just left, and when he came back, there would be at least more than ten days.

Lu Dongli was under the order of the Emperor, so naturally he couldn't stay for a long time, so he hesitated again and again, so he had to leave.

Fan Yao naturally beat the gongs and drums and politely sent him away.

Lu Donglian's guard of honor traveled more than 100 miles, and when they arrived at a village or town, he ordered the whole team to stop moving. He asked his subordinates to get a bunch of fake mustaches, carefully pasted half of his face, covered most of his face, changed into civilian clothes, prepared a horse, and got a few random goods on the horse, and turned back to Dingyuan Pass alone.

Because there is no war, Dingyuan Pass is not forbidden to pass. At the end of the day, there are always more than a dozen merchants entering and exiting the customs. Lu Dongli ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates, and came to Dingyuan Pass alone.

Naturally, the soldiers in front of the gate came forward to investigate. Lu Dongli was still worried, lest he show his flaws, but when he saw the ten-captain who took the lead among the soldiers who came, he turned out to be a familiar face, and he didn't want to come over and whispered: "Dabao." ”

Wang Dabao was stunned. Raise your eyes and look at him in a daze.

Lu Dongli lowered his voice again: "It's me!" ”

Wang Dabao blinked, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, oh my God......

The moment he recognized Lu Dongliang, he almost didn't lose his voice and exclaimed. Fortunately, he woke up early and hurriedly laughed loudly to hide the panic at this moment: "It turned out to be you." I also remembered to go out of the customs to do business. ”

The soldiers around saw Lu Dongli talking close to Wang Dabao, and they already felt that they were like acquaintances, and they all smiled at this time: "Wang Tou, is it your friend?" ”

"yes, it's my fellow countryman." Wang Dabao laughed, "It's just time that I'm going to hand over the shift, go to my place to rest first, and tell me about my hometown." ”

As he spoke, he led Lu Dongli inside.

Of course, the other soldiers will not pursue and interrogate them anymore, and let them go unhindered.

Wang Dabao took Lu Dongli and turned three times and two times, and arrived at a place where no one was. I looked around again, and saw that there was really no third person nearby. Only then did he dare to shout: "Lord Lu, how can you ......?"

Lu Dongli said in a low voice: "I don't think it's right. I haven't been able to see General Feng, and I was very closely guarded by Fan Yao, so I didn't even have a chance to ask you or Xiaodao, I was afraid that something would happen, so I came back. ”

As he spoke, he looked Wang Dabao up and down, and he was even more suspicious in his heart, remembering the last time they met. He's still a centurion, how now. He became a captain of ten.

Wang Dabao's face showed an angry expression: "Lord Lu, don't mention it, Fan Yao, that black-hearted guy, you and General Feng gave him all the credit, but he still has to hate us, as soon as you leave, he will raise the account and pass the order, and demote all the lower-level officials who are close to General Feng by several levels for no reason, I just demoted him to a ten-master commander, that's it, General Feng, General Feng, he ......."

Lu Dongli palpitated for a while: "What's wrong with him?" What happened to Fan Yao him? He is a general, and his official position is not low, unless he violates military rules, Fan Yao can't hurt his life......"

Wang Dabao gritted his teeth: "If you want to insult a person, why do you need to hurt his life, he insisted that General Feng was not doing things well, and directly demoted him from general to ......" He became short of breath, and suddenly clenched his fists "Descended to the room." ”

Lu Dongxuan's face turned pale, and he said after a while: "Do you want to leave him idle and let him only manage the diet of the whole army?" ”

Wang Dabao wanted to scream, but he had to reluctantly whisper, every word seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth: "Lord Lu, it's not that he is allowed to sit on the cold bench, but that he is directly demoted to the leader of the gang......"

Such a deep voice, listening to the ears, like thunder.

Lu Dongli staggered back two steps, every word was clearly heard in his ears, but he could only look at Wang Dabao with disbelief eyes.

Gang leader? Never be able to make meritorious service, never be promoted, always always be accompanied by a spatula stove, and have a status in the army that is only equal to that of a horseman, and any soldier can shout and reprimand him as a low-ranking soldier.

Lu Dongli felt that even if he was dreaming, he couldn't associate these three words with Feng Jinjie.

As if just yesterday, the man in white, who was always full of unruliness and wanton between his eyebrows, said to him proudly: "There is only the wind of capital sin in the world, but there is no wind and power to sit next to him." ”

How could the Feng Jin Festival, who refused to even sit on the side seat, and the Feng Jin Festival, who regarded the crime of killing himself as an idle thing, endure such humiliation.

Because it is necessary to prepare the diet of the whole army, the kitchen in Dingyuanguan is surprisingly large, with rows of large pots and stoves, countless charcoal firewood, and from a distance, the heat will make people retreat, and when they get closer, they will feel sweaty even more, and the smell of greasy oil smoke everywhere makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

It was almost dinner time, and the kitchen was busy, Zhang Dabao straightened his voice and shouted: "General......"

"Where is the general in this kitchen, how many times have you said it, if you don't want to hurt me, you will yell at me less." Feng Jinjie, who was cooking a big pot of dishes, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, turned his face, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Aren't you leaving?" ”

Lu Dongli followed closely behind Wang Dabao, staring at the busy and crowded place in the big kitchen. Stunned, he looked at Feng Jinjie and turned his head and smiled.

In his mind, the man who wears a dazzling white coat, looks at the world with that lazy and casual eyes, and calls countless beautiful women to accompany him, and enjoys life in luxury, wears the coarse cloth clothes of the head soldiers, and has the smell of oil smoke all over his body, so casually wipes his sweat with his oil-stained sleeves that have been stained because he has worked for too long, but he doesn't care about some charred things, and he stains half of his face.

So embarrassed, so humble, but when he turned his eyes and smiled, his eyes were still bright and dazzling, and his smile was still bright and bright.

However, why at this moment, the anger in his heart surged up so fiercely, why at this moment, he wanted to look up to the sky and howl, asking this world, how could it be so uneven.

That is a person who has made great contributions to the country twice in a row, why, the reward can only be such humiliation.

The men in the big kitchen are all

?? No one paid much attention to Lu Dongli either. Even if someone sees him, he will not be a man, a man who is covered in dust, and he is high up, and they have no chance to see Lord Qincha.

Only Feng Jinjie recognized him at a glance, and seeing that his face was wrong, he hurriedly stuffed the work in his hand to a person next to him, walked over quickly, and said with a smile: "Why are you back again." ”

He looked at Lu Donglian's mouth full of beard, stretched out his hand to pull it, and suddenly thought that his hands were full of oil, so he hurriedly retracted his hand and inserted it in his apron. In this kind of action, he is also free and calm, and there is no restraint and humility of sudden identity change.

Lu Dongli looked at him with a blushing face: "You know that I came, why didn't you come to me for so many days?" He stared at Feng Jinjie almost with a look of hatred.

If this guy whose martial arts are said to be so high that he dares to answer that Fan Yao is watching closely and can't find a chance, he will definitely kick it directly.

Feng Jinjie smiled: "Aren't you afraid of your appearance?" Pay attention to your demeanor, you have been studying for decades of self-cultivation, how can I let you break the gong on me all of a sudden. ”

What a joke, huh?

Lu Dongli wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, he only quietly looked at Feng Jinjie's appearance at the moment, but he didn't know that his eyes were even trembling. After a long time, he said: "Don't do it again......"

"What?"

"Don't stay in the army anymore, get out of here, it's a big place. A land is a place of freedom. ”

Feng Jinjie laughed out loud: "What are you kidding, I have been classified as a soldier, so why should I leave." Unless the big boss is willing to expel me, do you think he will? ”

Lu Dongli said calmly: "I'll go find him." ”

Feng Jinjie's eyes moved: "Last time, you used credit to exchange for my safety, what are you going to use this time to exchange for my freedom?" ”

"He hates not only you, but must hate me as well. It's just that he can't do anything about me. I'll go see him, and if he agrees to expel you, I'll resign, and we'll get out of here together." There was a desolation and tiredness in his eyes, as if all the effort, all the persistence. All the ideals of the land collapsed together when they saw Feng Jinjie, dressed in coarse clothes, serving as a in this sweltering kitchen.

State affairs have been decadent to this point, why are they still so persistent. Even if everyone doesn't care, why should they care, even if the country refuses to love loyal ministers, why are they so loyal to the end?

Wind Festival finally stopped laughing.

No matter what the situation is, he doesn't care. No matter what difficulties he faced, he was careless. However, this moment. In the end, he couldn't laugh.

This man, who has read the books of sages for so many years, I don't know whether he is stupid or stupid, so stubbornly and self-inflictedly wanting to do something for the country and the people.

Putting aside wealth, regardless of gains and losses, regardless of reputation. Regardless of success or failure. He was also a close minister of the Son of Heaven, but he only wanted to do something for the people. The official was demoted to a smaller and smaller level, and finally made a seven-grade county order, redressed people's grievances and sentenced to prison, and stood up to take responsibility, but he was still regarded by officials and the people as greedy for ink.

So many grievances, so many grievances, he also calmly dealt with them, without the slightest grievance, his official position was moved again and again, degraded again and again, his reaction was just to do his best in every term, and do all the things inside and outside.

He had never been distracted by his own gains and losses, let alone changed his ambition because of any obstacles, but now, just for the humiliation of a friend, so angry, so angry that he even threw away his many years of ideals and years of hard work.

Feng Jinjie sighed and said softly: "Dongli! ”

Lu Dongli looked at him angrily, and before he could make any consolation, he said coldly: "I have decided." ”

He decided that Feng Jinjie should be the free man who was dressed in a luxurious white robe, clinging to red and green, drinking and having fun, and who could not be restrained by heaven and earth, and should never be trapped in this room that was forever filled with smoke and oil, and suffered such humiliation.

Feng Jinjie sighed again, even he didn't dare to persuade this stubborn scholar when he was so angry.

He had to smile bitterly: "Okay, okay, it's good that you decide." It's just that you can't go to see him with this face now, it's too unorthodox, not to mention...... "He suppressed his voice so that only each other could hear it" In case he has evil thoughts and harms your life, the whole world will think that Lord Qincha has left. You really want to look for him, and when you go back tomorrow and bring all the men, you will come back to him with a big gong and a big drum so that everyone can come back to him. In this way, he didn't dare to act rashly, and now ......"

He looked up at the sky outside: "It's getting late, you can stay overnight." Whatever you want to do tomorrow, it's up to you. He turned his head and instructed Wang Dabao again: "Dabao, you brothers have been wronged, squeeze in for one night, make room for me to come out, tonight our old friends will sleep together and talk all night." ”

He is now the leader of the lowest class, of course, he no longer has a separate room, and if he wants to talk to Lu Dongli quietly, he has to ask someone else to make a house for him.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers in the lower classes admired him, and even if he was demoted to the house, no one really dared to shout at him. Even in the room, from the steward to the firewood, no one really dared to ask him to work, but he himself refused to be idle. On the first day of being demoted to the gang's house, the whole army was still worried about him, he had already changed his clothes with a smile, and dragged the master with the best skills in the gang's room to teach him to cook.

The rules of his life are always to either don't do it, but do the best if you want to do it. He could be the best businessman, the most lavish tycoon, the most amazing general, the greatest miracle doctor, the most erudite Hanlin, and the most invincible marshal.

But when it comes to cooking skills, he really has nothing to boast about, after this incident, people are sad for him, he is happy, take the opportunity to learn another skill, and when he boasts in the future, he can add the title of celebrity chef to himself.

Lu Dongli was heartbroken for him, he really didn't take it seriously. He also knew that it didn't matter if a gentleman like Lu Dongli was wronged, and he couldn't see his friends being aggrieved and his loyalty being killed. He was afraid that Lu Dongli would be so angry that he didn't care about making trouble, so he deliberately didn't see Lu Dongliang, and just wanted to drag him out until he left. Unexpectedly, this pedantic master is actually smart, I don't know if it was when he was an official before, he often wore makeup to go to Weifu for private visits. The front foot is gone, and the back foot actually appears directly in the kitchen.

At this moment, he can only find a way to stabilize Lu Dongli first. Fortunately, the kitchen was already busy and noisy, and his voice was deliberately lowered, but he didn't worry about being heard.

And Wang Dabao and other soldiers respected him as a god, and the matter of vacating the house was naturally just a command.
