The little guy guarding the door heard the sound and ran to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, Chen Ruoping was standing at the door. "Is your young master here?" she was dressed in armor and cloak, and she looked extremely heroic.

"In... At...... Lord Chen, please come in!" the little guy hurriedly let Chen Ruoping in.

"That's... Warhorse take care of it for me. Chen Ruoping said casually, pursed his lips and whistled briskly, and the black cloud hooves of the war horse came up the steps from the street with the sound of sound.

"It's so late, Brother Chen, why are you here?" Mo Cong had already walked from the main courtyard to the front yard and asked from a distance.

"I'm coming to see you and discuss something. Chen Ruoping handed over the reins of the horse to the little servant, untied a small burden from the saddle and walked in his hand, the white cloak behind him fluttering gently with the night breeze.

"Did you just come back from out of town?" Mo Cong looked at Chen Ruoping's dusty appearance and asked.

"yes, I just came back in the morning, and I haven't been home yet. Chen Ruoping said as he walked in with Mo Cong.

"You're busy. Mo Cong was speechless.

The two of them talked and walked through the courtyard to the main courtyard, Chen Ruoping walked all the way and looked all the way, saying that he had not come for a long time, and the pattern of the mansion seemed to have changed quite a lot, Mo Cong nodded, and whispered about the changes between the current pattern and the past.

"I see everyone is resting, let's find a quiet place to talk. Chen Ruoping walked all the way from the main courtyard and saw that all the rooms were dark and quiet, so he proposed not to disturb everyone.

"Alright, let's go to the cross-courtyard then. Mo Cong nodded.

When they arrived at the West Cross Courtyard, Xiaomei Xiaozhu and Xiaoju were waiting in the courtyard where they were transmitting gong, and saw Mo Cong and Chen Ruoping coming in. I was amazed.

"That's... You go to the kitchen and get some ready-made appetizers, and then go to the back garden to carry a jar of wine. I have to discuss things with Master Chen. Mo Cong was also a little embarrassed, and casually ordered the three maid rings.

Xiaomei and the others agreed. Go out with a red face.

"Your personal maid is guarding here in the middle of the night, are you sleeping here at night?" asked Chen Ruoping strangely.

"No, anyway... It's hard to put into words. Mo Cong said.

"That's when you sleep with them. Chen Ruoping looked at Mo Cong narrowly.

Mo Cong made a gesture of silence, the maids are not what they used to be, their ears are not many times more spiritual than before, in case they hear something, Chen Ruoping's identity will be exposed.

"Are you ...... now" Chen Ruoping sighed with a complicated expression and sat down by himself.

"While a lot of things aren't what you think, I'm now... It's really bad. Mo Cong said.

"Okay. I'm not here to catch a traitor, I'm here to discuss business. I heard that you met a horse thief, how is the situation?" Chen Ruoping changed his words, from a state of slight anger to a state of talking about business.

Mo Cong briefly explained the situation.

"It's not been a day or two that the horse thieves in Shuanglong Mountain have been bothering that area, and I have arranged the location of your battalion there with the intention of striking at the horse thieves to keep the peace of one side, and your battalion must be prepared in this regard. Chen Ruoping nodded and said after hearing this.

"Our battalion has already made some moves, including patrol time, patrol routes, cross-patrols between various camps, etc., which have changed a lot compared to before, and now the problem is that there is not enough manpower, and if the new recruits join in, they will go through a few months of training. The situation will be better. Mo Cong said.

"The recruits are almost recruited, and they will be replenished in a little while. But when dealing with the horse thieves in Shuanglong Mountain, the emperor means that it is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling than to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and it is of course also a way to maintain the stability of the party by strengthening patrols. But it doesn't solve the underlying problem. Even if the recruits are fully replenished, the garrison of your battalion is so large, it is impossible to ensure that every place can be patrolled all the time. This will give horse thieves an opportunity to take advantage of. Chen Ruoping said.

"Does the emperor mean to go up the mountain to clear the payment?" asked Mo Cong.

"The emperor has this meaning, but he is hesitating. After all, Shuanglong Mountain is such a big territory. Such a complex topography, as many as cattle hair, small roads and almost everywhere exits. It is almost impossible to completely wipe out the task, but the emperor is unwilling to let the horse thieves run rampant like this, so he is very entangled. Chen Ruoping said.

The two were talking, and the maids came in with wine and food, the wine was a jar of imperial wine brought from the backyard, and the dishes were some ready-made cold dishes such as peanuts and braised beef in the kitchen, and the four dishes and wine bowls and chopsticks in a jar of wine were all arranged, and the maids retreated gently, leaving Mo Cong and Chen Ruoping to drink and chat. The two drank wine and ate side dishes, talking about the situation of parting for more than a month. Chen Ruoping talked about the situation of recruiting troops in various places and the hardships on the way, Mo Cong sighed when he heard it, saying that he went out to participate in a martial arts conference this month, and then went to build a courtyard on the mountain on the side of the barracks, which was basically not doing his job.

Chen Ruoping asked about some of the situation of the martial arts conference, especially the situation of the Qingsong faction, and was shocked to learn that the head of the Qingsong faction committed suicide on the spot because of the matter of the giant spirit pass.

"I'm afraid this matter is not good, the army is the junior brother of the head of the Qingsong faction, what was the name of the situation before, and then he joined the Swiss army before changing his name to the army. If you forced his senior brother to death like this, and ruined the reputation of the Qingsong faction, he will definitely not give up. However, he is also the commander of the gendarmerie, and it is very easy to find any fault. Chen Ruoping said worriedly.

"I'm not afraid of myself, I'm afraid of implicating you, after all, you are also the protagonist of the Giant Spirit Pass incident, and you are more fierce than me. Mo Cong picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Chen Ruoping and said.

"They themselves are not clean, they can't blame me, I also did all kinds of considerations at that time to come up with that solution, as long as I tell the emperor, it's fine, don't worry. Chen Ruoping took a sip of wine and said.

"I told the emperor when I came back from the martial arts conference, how... Didn't the emperor mention it to you today?" asked Mo Cong.

"No, not a word. Chen Ruoping said.

"Then what is the emperor going to do about the matter of Shuanglong Mountain?" Mo Cong asked.

"He doesn't have a mature idea yet, but I have an idea and I'm trying to discuss it with you. Chen Ruoping said, "According to my actual experience, the horse thieves of Shuanglong Mountain are not ordinary horse thieves, but the survivors of the original right guard, and we are also considered to be comrades. My method is very simple, that is, to quietly connect with their leader and let them find a place to disarm and return to the field, but this method is simple to say and difficult to operate, the most difficult thing is not the joint, but some risks from the imperial court, do you understand what I mean?" she looked at Mo Cong very seriously and tangled.

"The slightest mistake in this kind of thing can lead to a burn, of course I understand. Mo Cong nodded.

"Then do you think my method is feasible?" asked Chen Ruoping.

"It's feasible, it's feasible, but ......" Chen Ruoping didn't know the details of Shuanglong Mountain, but Mo Cong knew very clearly, Shuanglong Mountain was not as simple as three or five hundred horse thieves stationed, but there were more than 40,000 horse thieves, and there were soldiers and horses echoing each other in other places, so that so many people could all be disarmed and returned to the field without being discovered, which was a task that could not be completed than completely clearing Shuanglong Mountain. "I think it's better to let the court recruit directly, so that there is no risk, and then the matter is still this thing. Mo Cong thought for a moment and said.

"It's not like I haven't thought about the way you said, but the first is not good to say about the right guard, and the second is ...... I don't know what the second one is, anyway, when the emperor heard that it was the original right guard, he would definitely be more determined to clean it up, and it would backfire at that time. Chen Ruoping said.

"Then I advise you not to do this, lest you get caught on fire. Mo Cong said, "If you really can't do it, you will pretend to be confused, and fight a few battles with the horse thieves first, and then contact their leaders when the court has no choice but to recruit An, and let them disarm and return to the field through the way of recruiting An." ”

"It's okay, but I'm afraid that the court will be willing to recruit peace at that time, but the horse thief is suspicious and worried that it will be the first salute and then the soldiers, and he will coax them out before taking the opportunity to exterminate them, hey... The reputation of the imperial court in this regard is indeed not good, and it is really difficult to say what will happen at that time. Chen Ruoping frowned thoughtfully and said.

"Are you tired of these things all day long? Come, drink, eat and drink enough, take a shower and sleep here, don't think about anything. Mo Cong pushed the bowl and touched it, and drank all the wine in the bowl.

"I... I'd better go back to sleep. Chen Ruoping blushed and lowered his head to drink.

"What, do you not want to sleep with me or are you afraid that the emperor will guess your relationship with me?" asked Mo Cong.

"Neither, I just think...... There are so many rings waiting for you to sleep, I'd better go back early, so as not to stay here and get in your way. Chen Ruoping looked at the wine bowl and said with slight disgust.

"It's out of the way, you wait a minute!" Mo Cong said and stood up and went to the bathroom across the courtyard to release water.

Each courtyard of Mofu has a bathing place, some are large pools and some are small pools, there is a passage connected to the outside world on one side of the pool wall, as soon as the mechanism is opened, hot water flows out, and the bottom of the pool is to build a mechanism and hole for drainage, after washing, the mechanism is opened, the water will flow away and drain dry, it is very convenient to use.

After a while, a small pool of water was put away, and all kinds of things to improve the water quality and fragrance were also put away, and Mo Cong returned to the main room across the courtyard to find Chen Ruoping. Chen Ruoping twisted and blushed uncomfortably, but he still took off his armor, put on close-fitting clothes, and carried a small burden and walked with Mo Cong.

"Get out of here. When she arrived at the place, Chen Ruoping looked at a pool of warm and fragrant water and suddenly felt uncomfortable, and just wanted to take a bath quickly, but Mo Cong had no intention of leaving, so she was embarrassed to take off her clothes.

"Okay, then you can wash it. Mo Cong said, closed the door and left.

Chen Ruoping exhaled, put the small burden on his chest beside him, and briskly took off his underwear and entered the pool water, his tired body was soaked in the fragrant and warm pool water, and he felt very comfortable in an instant. (To be continued......)
