Chapter 98 Rest for a while, I meet Ronger again(1/2)
Judging from the current location, it is the most convenient and safest to open directly to Qingshi Pass, but when it comes to surrender, Liu Yingying has no choice but to think about it.
The Red Turban Army has never accepted anyone to surrender, and Meng Jiucheng has not expressed any signs of surrender.
Yang Miaozhen's troops can be used as a special example. After all, it is unknown how the two families negotiated. However, Yang Miaozhen married Meng Jiucheng, which solved the problem of joining the army and surrendering.
It is obviously a bit difficult for Liu Yingying to learn from Yang Miaozhen. Moreover, no matter how thick-skinned a girl's family is, she will not take the initiative in this matter.
But Liu Yingying also thought of other options, such as moving closer to Huo Yi's troops. But it was like hitting the knife, the Jin army had already headed south, and the goal was obvious. The number one person was killed, Huo Yi, the second leader.
According to the previous war situation, Liu Yingying felt that Huo Yi could not resist it. After all, Huo Yi had few direct troops, and those rebels who surrendered were not reliable.
As the daughter of Liu Erzu, Liu Yingying was too young and had no capital or prestige to command the heroes. Even Huo Yi would probably not hand over the army to her and would take her as the main force.
After thinking about it, Liu Yingying spoke slowly, looking very confused and helpless, "The main force of the Jin army went south, and our army was not at risk yet. Why not just rest here and gather the scattered people. In the future, we will decide the situation. Two seniors, what do you think?"
Li Siwen opened her mouth and was about to speak when she saw Cheng Fu's eyes and had to close her mouth.
Cheng Fu winked and said, "Just according to the eldest lady, let's do it for now, let's see the situation."
Li Siwen still has room for this. Let’s wait for this, look at the situation first. If the situation changes, then he will naturally make a decision.
"I agree with Ambassador Cheng's opinion, so I follow the eldest lady." Li Siwen knew that he had to discuss with Cheng Fu privately, so he stood up and said, "It's getting late, Miss, please rest early."
Cheng Fu also stood up, saluted and walked away.
The two of them walked around, touched their heads again, sat together, and started talking about what they really thought.
"Although resting in this mountain is safer, how can we solve the problem of food, grass and supplies?" Li Siwen first expressed his question, "Miss may not know, can't you consider it?"
Cheng Fu smiled bitterly and said, "How could I not know that I can't stay in this mountain for a long time? But now there is still some food and grass, and the eldest lady doesn't want to defect to other places, so she will just rely on her for the time being. When the food and grass are not allowed to continue, her ideas will also change."
Li Siwen thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Is it that I am anxious? But the remaining food and grass can't last long!"
Cheng Fu stroked his beard and said, "If you want to throw the Red Turban Army, I will say it is better than you said. When the food and grass are cut off, it is better than now. The general chose us to protect the young lady and leave. The meaning is to join the Red Turban Army when major issues are not good, so that the young lady can be safe."
Li Siwen nodded suddenly and said, "What Ambassador Cheng said is very urgent and he is not considerate."
Li Siwen was Yang Aner's grand tutor. After Yang Aner was defeated, he turned to Liu Erzu. Although Liu Erzu treated each other with courtesy on the surface, he was still a little worse in terms of closeness and alienation.
Cheng Fu was the old man who followed Liu Erzu and had contact with Meng Jiucheng. Liu Erzu sent these two people to escort Liu Yingying on a small road and leave Damoyu, which was quite as speculated as Cheng Fu had.
If Damoji can be defended, there is no need to mention whether to defect to others; but if there is real failure, with Li Siwen and Cheng Fu's help, even if Liu Yingying can no longer be a leader, she will be able to join the Red Turban Army, Meng Jiucheng can still keep her safe in her future life.
Did Liu Yingying not expect the difficulties of food and supplies? Of course not. Liu Yingying had to follow her father to fight all directions. How could she not have this little mind?
Just as Cheng Fu said, it is better to say that it is better to say that it is to cut off food and grass when it is cut off. At that time, Liu Yingying had a reasonable excuse. Regardless of whether she wanted to or not, it should be a good choice to join the Red Turban Army.
…………
Snacks are not regular meals, snacks are not filling the stomach, and they are originally a kind of enjoyment in leisure.
In Qingdao City, Meng Jiucheng found that there were already a lot of snacks, which shows the keenness of the merchants.
"Meng Shuai, this snack is the most famous one, and it was recently opened by Jiankang merchants." The accompanying official introduced Meng Jiucheng.
Jiankang is the name of Nanjing during the Six Dynasties. It was the capital of the Sun Wu, Eastern Jin, Liu Song, Xiao Qi, Xiao Liang, and Chen dynasties. It is also the first city in the world with a population of more than one million.
Meng Jiucheng nodded with a smile, and suddenly remembered the Confucius Temple in Nanjing that he had visited later generations. The snacks there really interpreted the profoundness of Chinese food culture.
The snacks in Confucius Temple are exquisite in style, "color, fragrance, taste, shape, and flavour". They must look very stylish, taste and taste, and have a kind of interest that makes people feel poetic reverie and association, which makes people salivate.
Golden, yellow, green, white, like the world, colorful; sweet, salty, sour, spicy, like a life of upright, full of flavors. Meat, vegetable, fruits and vegetables, as they wish, spring, summer, autumn and winter, each leading the way.
The characteristic of Confucius Temple is its flexible and vivid business method. It not only has blue bricks, small tiles, pink walls, and "Lao Huaiyang" decorated with lights. It is lined up with fragrance, and is made and eaten now. It is a snack stall that is made and eaten now, and the charming smiles under the lights, and folk song-style attracting and shouting brings warmth and joy to the psychedelic Qinhuai immersed in the sound of the lights.
"Madam, try it in this restaurant first?" Meng Jiucheng swallowed his saliva without any notice, turned to ask Yang Miaozhen.
Yang Miaozhen nodded and followed Meng Jiucheng into the store with a smile.
"Duck blood vermicelli soup? One serving for each person." Meng Jiucheng looked through the menu and lit it like a regular customer.
Nanjing people’s delicate thoughts about food are astonishing. They always linger on the streets and linger in the scenery of the streets and alleys, and they become more and more interested in eating.
Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup has been a long-standing favorite, and I have made great efforts in my kung fu.
The duck blood should be fresh, pink and tender, plus vermicelli, duck liver, duck intestines, coriander, and cook it in duck soup until the fragrance fascinates, the color suddenly appears.
The emerald coriander, crystal vermicelli, fine duck gizzards, duck liver, duck intestines at the bottom of the bowl, slightly fragrant and lingering around the lips. At the right time, I will give a piece of duck blood to the mouth, the fragrance is tender and smooth, and the tip of the tongue is ready to move.
"A plate of plum blossom cake, a bowl of red beans and Lantern Festival..." Meng Jiucheng suspected that he had arrived in Nanjing and felt drooling in his mouth.
The plum blossom cake is shaped like plum blossoms and has a golden color. It is a particularly delicious glutinous rice dessert.
If you sprinkle red and green shredded on the upper layer of the plum blossom cake, add some melon seeds and eat them layer by layer, you will be unlimited surprises. It is soft and delicious, glutinous and delicious, and it is a delicious food in the world.
In addition, the red bean Lantern Festival is also quite popular with the beauties. The thick red bean soup is filled with crystal clear Lantern Festivals of all sizes, as if the big beads fall into a jade plate, giving a unique scenery.
Occasionally mixed with a few pieces of wine and the golden osmanthus flowers are really amazing. The elegance of the ancient beauty seems to be instantly reflected in her eyes. Slim jade fingers, thick red beans, and on the Qinhuai River, the beauty was born like this when she had an appointment.
"Well, it's delicious." Yang Miaozhen picked up a piece of plum blossom cake and put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, making a sound of praise.
Meng Jiucheng first killed a bowl of duck blood vermicelli and savored the differences in memory for thousands of years.
On the table outside, Yang Miaozhen's guards were all dressed in casual clothes, separating Meng Jiucheng and Yang Miaozhen from each other.
It is not necessary to book a building on a clean street. Meng Jiucheng even imagines that he is like a civilian, walking in a car, walking around and sitting around, and feeling it in the bustling city.
Today I came to take Yang Miaozhen out to play; the second I also wanted to relax myself.
There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and it turned out that Rong'er and a middle-aged man walked upstairs accompanied by two servants.
"You girl, are you going to let my grandpa get rid of his old bones?" Huang Laochuan found a table, sat down, and complained with panting.
"But I want to go shopping by myself, but you are not relieved." Rong'er angrily, reaching out to hold her grandfather's shoulders.
"They are not familiar with the place either." Huang Laochuan glanced at the person and shook his head gently.
Rong'er glanced and immediately saw Meng Jiucheng through the table. She was about to open her mouth to greet her, but she saw Yang Miaozhen sitting next to her. She blinked. The girl just smiled and bit her little head.
The guy came forward to greet him. Rong'er didn't look at the menu and said, "Huangqiao Seed Bread, duck blood vermicelli, plum blossom cake, red bean lantern festival, what color snacks..."
This girl is a foodie, and must have been to Jiankang, and she remembers all the special snacks. Meng Jiucheng laughed secretly, lowered his head and scooped up a Lantern Festival to cover up.
"I'm sorry, my guest. The store has not been fully stocked for Jiankang snacks for a while." The guy was also surprised, but he nodded and explained, "Huangqiao Shaobiao, what kind of dim sum, there are no two."
"Huangqiao sesame cakes have a strong aftertaste, and they are both meat and vegetable, sweet and salty, and you don't have them." Rong'er wrinkled her little nose and waved her hand in a pretentious manner, "Then bring some of them up!"
Yang Miaozhen's eyes turned over, and she was quite interesting to the girl, with a smile on her face.
"Man, duck blood vermicelli, two bowls; Lantern Festival, two bowls."
Qiao E finished her meal in just a few bites. She just put the snacks on her back, and she didn't see her and said hello to the guy.
As a female general with simple mind, brute force, and limited martial arts skills, she did make a lot of contributions at the beginning of Meng Jiucheng's uprising.
However, with the expansion of the army, there is no need for such generals who charge and fall into the battlefield, but requires intelligent generals who can command and act flexibly according to the battlefield situation.
Although Han Shouzhong, Yan Tong, Wang Xian and others were still a little short of Meng Jiucheng's expectations, Qiao E was even further apart.
Therefore, Meng Jiucheng transferred Qiao E to serve as Yang Miaozhen's personal guard leader. Because even though Qiao E had other shortcomings, she was loyal and obedient, which was enough.
Yang Miaozhen had no objection to this. When they got along, they liked Qiao E's simplicity and loyalty very much.
Meng Jiucheng opened his mouth and thought that snacks were not to fill his stomach. After eating this restaurant, he had to taste one by one. But after hesitating for a while, he didn't say anything.
"That little girl is very cute." Yang Miaozhen turned her head slightly and whispered: "Do you know me?"
Meng Jiucheng nodded and smiled, "Rong'er, I picked up my sister."
Yang Miaozhen smiled, looked at Rong'er from time to time, and nodded and smiled when she looked at her eyes.
Rong'er was not afraid of being angry, and she smiled happily, her eyes turned, and she got up and walked towards the table.
As soon as she walked, she immediately touched the guards' guard circle, and several bad eyes immediately bet on.
Huang Laochuan was very knowledgeable and as soon as the atmosphere changed, he immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly stopped his granddaughter, "Rong'er, don't move around."
Meng Jiucheng had already raised his hand and ordered the guards, "It's okay, I'm familiar with each other, let her come."
Rong'er didn't think there was anything wrong just now. After hearing what his grandfather said, she paused and saw Meng Jiucheng let her go, so she took another step.
"Brother, sister-in-law, Rong'er is polite." Rong'er squatted in a happy way and called her intimate. Yang Miaozhen couldn't help laughing.
"Come on, Rong'er, right? Let's sit on my side." Yang Miaozhen really likes this little girl, and she and Meng Jiucheng have no relatives. She was also happy to hear this god girl screaming close to her.
Rong'er was not polite. After sitting down, she took off a bracelet made of colorful shells on her wrist and held it to Yang Miaozhen, "Sister-in-law, this is a gift that Rong'er wants to give you. Although it is not expensive, it is also rare."
"Haha, I want to accept a girl's gift?" Yang Miaozhen became more and more happy. She reached out to take it and fiddled with it, and praised: "It's really beautiful, colorful, is it a shell?"
"Yes, Rong'er touched it from the bottom of the sea and then strung it with golden thread." Rong'er lighted her little head, her voice was crisp.
You go into the sea to touch the shells and wear bracelets? Meng Jiucheng doesn't really believe that such a girl who is so tempted can do such a thing, but she doesn't want to say it out loud.
"Rong'er's hand is really clever." Yang Miaozhen believed it and wanted to wear it on her wrist, but it was a little tight.
Rong'er reached out to help, untie the golden thread, put it on before tie it, and helped Yang Miaozhen do it.
After Yang Miaozhen put it on, she shook her wrist. She seemed very satisfied, and looked at Meng Jiucheng again.
"Well, it looks so good." Meng Jiucheng quickly praised.
Yang Miaozhen smiled happily, turned to Rong'er and said, "I can't ask for the girl's things for nothing. What does Rong'er likes? Sister-in-law will come to you."
Rong'er shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, don't bother, Rong'er lacks nothing."
