Chapter 139: Surrender

Countless pieces of gold?

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Xiahou Zhen couldn't help but feel a stirring, and the emotions in the tiger's eyes became even more complicated.

There was shock, there was confusion, and there was a hint of hidden anger.

was shocked because he didn't expect Chen Mo to say such a thing.

I don't understand, it's because of repetition.

Chen Mogang denied the matter of gold before, why does he admit it now?

The final anger is an instinctive reaction to feeling cheated.

Chen Mo, what do you want to do?

Noticing Xiahou Zhen's mood changes, Chen Mo did not make any explanation, but signaled Huameishu to hurry up and arrange it.

Soon, the copper pot was lit, the beef, mutton and vegetables were also placed on the table, and the prelude to a gluttonous feast was about to begin.

And in this process, Xiahou Zhen didn't ask a word, just watched quietly with curiosity.

Look at Chen Mo's gourd, what kind of medicine is sold?

"General, please be seated."

When the water in the pot boiled, Chen Mo invited Xiahou Zhen to sit down, Huameishu was very discerning, and directly poured two glasses of wine.

"Chen Mo, what kind of eating is this?" Xiahou Zhen couldn't help but ask, "In my opinion, this thing is somewhat similar to Wen Ding. The difference is that Wen Ding cooks the food and eats it, so what he sees in front of him should be eaten while cooking, right? ”

"General Hui, that's exactly the case."

As he spoke, Chen Mo handed over the prepared ingredients.

"After the ingredients in the pot are cooked, they can be dipped in small ingredients to eat, so as to ensure the freshness of the ingredients and taste the delicious taste. Especially in this winter fortress, it is definitely far better than the usual way of cooking. ”

"It's kind of interesting."

Xiahou Zhen said, picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, dipped it in small ingredients and put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up after chewing it slightly.

"Delicious, really delicious."

"General, try the wine in your glass." Hua Meishu reminded, "This is not an ordinary wine, but made by Chen Mo himself. The mouth is dry and the aftertaste is endless, and it is guaranteed to make you remember after drinking. ”

"Brewed yourself?"

While Xiahou Zhen picked up his wine glass, he looked at Chen Mo with some curiosity.

"To tell the general, although I have been studying since I was a child, my ambition is not to gain fame, but to spend my life studying the way of things. So whether it's the things in the pot or the wine in the glass, it's an attempt. ”

"Gewu?"

Xiahou Zhen nodded and raised his glass.

"So, not only the things in front of you, but also the weapons just now are considered to be things?"

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded.

"The weapons are very good, and the food is worthy of the word delicacies, so I think this wine can be called a fine wine, right?"

When the words fell, Xiahou Zhen drank it all.

His eyes were closed, and he realized it carefully.

Good!

After a while, Xiahou Zhen opened his eyes and praised fiercely.

His gaze swept over Chen Mo and Huameishu, and finally focused on the wine and food.

"This is the most comfortable meal I have had since I came to the border fortress. Food is good for appetite, wine is good for appetite, and most importantly, people sitting with you are more appetite. So I'm going to be selfish, don't talk about anything unhappy until you're full, and wait until after dinner, you don't have any opinions, right? ”

"As it should be." Chen Mo nodded.

"Since the general is so interested, you might as well let Chen Mo accompany you for a few more drinks." Hua Meishu smiled and began to add wine to the two of them.

“……”

Chen Mo smiled and glanced at Huameishu with a little complaint.

On the contrary, it was Xiahou Zhen who praised Huameishu's proposal very well.

This meal took a long time, and when it was about to end, both Xiahou Zhen and Chen Mo were a little drunk.

It is enough to imagine how speculative the two chatted.

So much so that when he got up to talk about tea, Xiahou Zhen took Chen Mo's hand, and couldn't help but sigh that he hated to see each other late.

This scene, the gorgeous book I watched was full of joy.

You shouldn't have to worry about the money for this trip.

Unlike what she thought, Zhong Kui, who had always stood at the door, was both shocked and extremely admired at the moment.

The former is because of Xiahou Zhen.

When has this great general ever been so close to people and enthusiastic?

Not to mention a group of subordinates, even Xia Fangzheng's prison soldier has never been treated as a hand in hand gift.

Only Chen Mo really walked into Xiahou Zhen's heart.

The latter is naturally because of Chen Mo, the party.

A scholar, a teacher, actually overwhelmed countless military forces in this fortress and became the guest of the general.

No, judging from the way the two of them just talked about wine, they are more like "confidants".

The intersection of civil and military affairs, and the joy is harmonious.

In time, this will be a good story.

Chen Mo, how did you do it?

Strength!

After thinking about it, Zhong Kui only thought of these two words.

Especially considering the dagger, combined with what happened on the way to transport supplies, Zhong Kui was completely convinced by Chen Mo.

Chen Jiaoyu, the world's great talent.

If he has the opportunity, he will definitely try to follow Chen Mo's side.

Such a character is definitely worth the effort before and after the saddle.

The person who has a similar opinion is Xiahou Zhen.

When he was just eating, most of the time he was asking questions, and every answer Chen Mo gave made him feel refreshed.

He really didn't expect that Chen Mo not only had amazing talent, but even his knowledge was by no means comparable to that of idle people.

In particular, the perspective of looking at things is always so novel and unique, as if a supreme wise man who has insight into everything in the world.

Such a person is completely available but not sought.

If it weren't for Chen Mo's words, his ambition in this life would not be in Vanity Fair, and after bringing Bai Qi back, he would have to keep Chen Mo by his side. Whether as a staff member or a personal guard, he will play the role of a good man in the world.

Unfortunately, such a wish has been disappointed.

The only thing I can ask for is to make friends with Chen Mo, and then I can not only continue to discuss and seek advice, but also eat and drink, and get a glimpse of the way of things.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Zhen couldn't hold back any longer, and without taking a sip of tea, he asked a question that was pressed in his heart.

"Chen Mo, you said that there is inexhaustible gold in the pot, what do you mean by that?"

"General, you have lived in the border fortress for a long time, you should know Hu Xia Kingdom very well, right?" Chen Mo did not answer the rhetorical question.

"That's nature." Xiahou Zhen nodded and said, "Hu Xia is a nomadic people, the people are fierce, and the barbarism is very strong. It is precisely because of this that there is an incomparably powerful iron horse, and it will grow step by step into a strong enemy of my Great Chu. ”

"General, Chen Mo doesn't dare to discuss state affairs, so he only talks about civil affairs."

Chen Mo got up and looked out of the distance.

"The people take food as the sky, has the general ever thought about what it will be like if the hot pot is promoted to Hu Xia Kingdom?"

"Nature is ......"

After subconsciously answering, Xiahou Zhen's face changed suddenly.
