Chapter 27
On the eighth day, it is advisable to travel.

Standing on the city wall of Shengzhou, Rong Cen personally sent several veterans to their battlefield.

The northern and southern troops were divided into two groups and went to the border for defense.

Wen Renxu was sent to Yizhou, Yaozhou was dangerous and his trip was for experience, going to Yaozhou would only add to the chaos, why not follow the old general to guard Yizhou well.

The general who took the initiative to invite Ying to guard Yizhou in the court hall had reached the age of forty a few years ago, and now he is almost half a century old, but he is still in his prime among the pale-faced and white-haired old generals.

Before leaving, he assured him with confidence: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will guard Yizhou well, and I will always pay attention to the movements of Nanxun's army and guards. I will defend Dayin to the death!"

Wen Renxu held the reins of the horse, dressed in military uniform, raised his right hand and waved at Rong Cen, grinned his front teeth, and smiled like an idiot, "Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your expectations! When I come back, You must let His Majesty see clearly that I am a hundred times, a thousand times, a thousand times, a thousand times, a thousand times, a thousand times, and countless times better than their persimmons, dumplings, and peaches!"

The east wind blows, the war drums beat, and the horns sound. Dayin's flag flies with the wind, and the army reorganizes and sets off.

Rong Cen waved goodbye to them.

"I am waiting for your triumphant return in Shengzhou!"
-
Sishi, food is heaven and space.

Rong Cen showed an ingot of gold ingots, and said in a huffy voice, "I'll bring you a portion of each dish here, and make it now."

"This... there are a hundred kinds of dishes that are the most important thing to eat, and you can't finish them all by yourself, guest officer." Xiaoer was a little embarrassed, and suggested with a smile, "Why don't I serve you a few signature dishes first, and you can try them. How about a taste."

Rong Cen showed another gold ingot.

"Come on! I'm going to ask the back kitchen to prepare dishes for you, my lord, please wait a moment!"

Sure enough, money can make a ghost run the mill.

As soon as Xiao Er left, Rong Cen quickly put the two ingots of gold ingots into the purse.

It was heavy, which made her feel safe.

The food was served very slowly, and after waiting for about half a stick of incense, Xiao Lian pushed the door open and entered.

"Master, I brought him."

Behind him was a short, unattractive man, dressed in coarse clothes, covered with dust, looked malnourished, but his eyes were radiant, with an upward spirit.

While Rong Cen was looking at him, the other party was also looking at her silently.

If it wasn't for Rong Cen's keen senses, he wouldn't be able to spot his little tricks.

"Sir, please sit down quickly, Mr. Lao is running all the way, please wait for a while, the food and drink will be here soon."

"My surname is Chen. I migrated from the south. I just arrived in Kyoto not long ago. I am not familiar with the place. I want to start a business and gain a foothold as soon as possible. I heard that Mr. is a good businessman, so today I invite you to the restaurant to tell the story."

How can I go out without wearing a vest, Rong Cen quickly fabricated a false identity for himself, and found a spot on the man's right shoulder that was spotless, it should have been suppressed by Xiao Lian with his sword just now.

This Xiao Lian has already said that he wants to be a distinguished guest and invite him here. He is afraid that he is not treating him as a "distinguished guest" in the prison!

Rong Cen could only smile apologetically, "The subordinates are ignorant and have no malicious intentions. I hope I didn't offend you, and I hope you don't care too much about it."

The man said nothing, his eyes were guarded.

"I don't know your surname, sir. How should I address you? Even if we don't talk about cooperation, I still want to make friends with you."

Rong Cen personally poured a cup of tea for him and handed it over, but the other party still did not relax his vigilance, did not move, and did not answer.

"It seems that you are toasting and not eating fine wine! Then my old Xiao will be a good man to the end and feed you personally!"

Seeing this, Xiao Lian picked it up and poured it in for him.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

A cup of tea was half spilled and half poured into the belly, and I barely drank it all.

Xiao Lian placed his sword heavily on the table, with the teapot in his left hand and the teacup in his right hand, staring at the man covetously: "I, Lao Xiao, will serve him personally. How is the tea? How about two more cups? There will be no more shops after this village."

"...I drink it myself."

Men finally succumbed to the forces of evil.

"That's right! What are you talking about with a bitter face, come on, smile at my master." Xiao Lian twisted his neck, and turned the man's face to Rong Cen.

Facing the last smile that was uglier than crying, Rong Cen warned: "Old Xiao, go down and urge Xiao Er to serve the food."

Xiao Lian left, and the man relaxed a lot.

"Forgive me, sir. We have no malicious intentions. Once again, please don't blame me, Mr. Xiao..."

Forget it, Xiao Lian was too much, Rong Cen couldn't find this excuse.

"Don't have your surname He, I don't think Mr. Chen should call this Mr., and I can't talk about doing business well. It's just that I was unknown in the imperial examinations in my early years, and my family had to support me, so I did some business to make ends meet."

He was a little embarrassed when he said it, "There was an accident last year, and the family property that I worked so hard to accumulate has long been lost. Recently, I am planning to sell the house and go back to my hometown to farm."

"Mr. Chen is looking for the wrong person. In this capital, only the Qian family is the real businessman." He began to sigh, and after he finished, he explained: "I didn't mean to be rude to each other just now. It's just that someone in the family angered the son of a famous family in the capital, and when he saw the young master holding a sword, he thought it was an enemy who was looking for him, and he wanted to kill or cut him at will. Although I am poor and humble, I don't want to succumb to the power of others."

After finishing speaking, I realized that I had said something outrageous, and then hastily added: "I don't hate the rich and powerful, but, just... In short, Mr. Chen, don't misunderstand me!"

He is polite, modest, and has a sense of family responsibility. Although his mouth is a little clumsy, he is sensible.It's just that it's easy to trust others, and casually tell all about family affairs.

This is Rong Cen's impression of him.

But when she heard about him, she frowned. The person Xiao Lian found could not be an unknown person, nor could it be a person with a vain reputation. That would be to offend others...

"It's nothing. You can tell me in detail what happened to you, and I will do my best to help you."

Seeing that Rong Cen is not like a timid person, He Xi feels that the young people are fearful, but also worried about her, "Mr. Chen, capital is not like anywhere else, there are rich and powerful everywhere, and there are as many as a cow's hair. If you go out and splash your feet with soup, you may kill some royal family members." Get your head covered! Mr. Chen is young, and there is still a long way to go, so be careful with your words and deeds!"

Rong Cen nodded: "Thank you Mr. He for your advice!"

But I thought in my heart, everyone in the world is afraid of the powerful, has this world become the world of the powerful?

Mr. He didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't ask, and just asked Xiao Lian to inquire later.

At this moment, Xiao Lian opened the door with his sword in his hand, and Xiao Er followed closely behind to serve the food.

I went back and forth several times, only half of the dishes were served, the table was already full, and it was inconvenient to put the bowls, chopsticks and cups, and I couldn't do my best to eat.

Xiaoer then made the decision: "Gentleman, why don't you guys eat first, and then ask the little one to continue serving after eating."

Rong Cen originally intended to start a business with food, but when he came, he saw many beggars at the foot of the city wall, so he ordered all the dishes.

I thought that there were not many condiments in ancient times to enhance the fragrance, and there should not be many dishes in restaurants, but unexpectedly there are one or two hundred dishes.

The three of them couldn't finish it, and even if it was given to the beggars, it wouldn't taste good when it was cold.

Rong Cen agreed to Xiao Er's proposal.
