The body of Cuizhu Tower is made of bamboo.

There are four bamboo pillars supporting the bamboo building, each of which is so thick that even six adults holding hands cannot surround it.

Bamboo frames are staggered and staggered to form stairs, which are built around the outside of the bamboo building, like a dancing green dragon, from the first floor to the top of the third floor, circling and vivid.

Ning Zhuo followed the bamboo ladder, led by the store clerk, to the third floor.

This place has been double-checked.

"Two generals." Ning Zhuo saluted.

This time he was invited by Shuangjing to have morning tea.

Shuangjing had previously recruited Ning Zhuo in Xiaoniaolou and wanted to hire him as a retainer, but Ning Zhuo declined and said he would consider it.

The purpose of choosing a date for double cleansing and then inviting her is quite obvious.

Shuangjing asked Ning Zhuo to sit down.

Morning tea and pastries were served respectfully by the waiter.

Shuangjing said, "If you're not busy eating or drinking, I invite Military Advisor Ning here today. There's a good show to watch."

Ning Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then heard a loud noise.

A group of monks rode horses through the bustling streets and reached the military granary opposite Cuizhu Tower.

The leader was none other than Mulan.

"General Mu, please stay..." Before the monk guarding him could finish speaking, Mulan waved his hand and was blown away.

But Mulan still dismounted, walked to the closed door of the military granary, and suddenly raised his feet.

Bang!

The door was opened directly by her.

Ning Zhuo was surprised: "What happened? Why is General Mulan so angry?"

Shuang Jing smiled and said nothing.

The commander of the army granary hurriedly ran out: "General Mu, calm down, calm down!"

Mulan snorted coldly: "Where is Zhao Xi? Get him out! Our army's rations have been blocked twice and three times. Do you really think that our Honghua Camp is made of mud?"

"Hmph, our supervisory troops are here! General Mu, don't rant." Zhao Xi also appeared.

Mulan and Zhao Xi argued loudly.

Ning Zhuo understood what he heard and found out that this was caused by Honghua Camp not receiving the latest batch of rations.

"Mu Lan once walked away in public and was very unhappy with Zhao Xi."

"After that, the military supplies were stuck in the Red Flower Camp once. I used precious materials to solve the problem."

"Again this time?"

"It's a bit strange. The army encountered an ambush and returned to Canglin Fairy City with numerous casualties. They need food and pay to maintain their morale. Under such circumstances, it would be unwise for Zhao Xi to repeat his old tricks and make things difficult for Honghua Camp!"

Although Ning Zhuo had only met Zhao Xi a few times, he had collected intelligence and understood that although Zhao Xi was stingy and greedy, he still had talents.

He also knows the general outline, otherwise he would not have been trusted by the double-surnamed royal family repeatedly and constantly appointed.

Bang!

Mulan was extremely angry. Zhao Xi had been prepared for it and always used procedures and regulations to stop her. She took action angrily and knocked Zhao Xi away with a palm.

"Zhao Gou! If you argue like this, you are disrespecting my general."

"I, Honghua Camp, have decided to receive today's rations!"

With that said, she walked straight into the granary.

"No, you can't go in!" Zhao Xi fell to the ground, vomiting blood, and shouted to stop him.

The soldiers behind Mulan were greatly relieved to see the miserable situation of the supervisors, and followed Mulan in.

However, after Mulan broke into the granary, he found that the granary was empty.

Her complexion changed slightly, and she suddenly felt bad.

Zhao Xi got up, blocked the door, and shouted loudly: "Mu Lan! You are arrogant, domineering and audacious. Not only did you beat the superior officer, but you also broke into the granary."

"Our army's latest rations were robbed by the old monster in the stone on the way yesterday! The military situation is serious, so in order to avoid a drop in morale, I concealed the matter. I only mentioned the formalities and asked you to postpone receiving the rations."

"But you slandered me and said I made things difficult for you!"

"I, Zhao Xi, have always been upright and upright in my work. When did I make things difficult for you?'

"You beat me and don't take me as a supervisor and an envoy of the royal capital into your eyes. What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?!"

Mulan turned pale, turned around suddenly, and stared at Zhao Xi with eyes like arrows.

The soldiers behind her didn't expect this, and all of them looked confused.

Zhao Xi looked like he had been wronged, but Mulan could detect the strong emotions of pride, cruelty, and gloating in his eyes.

Upstairs in Cuizhu, Shuangjing couldn't help but smile when he saw the progress he wanted, picked up the cup and started drinking tea.

Ning Zhuo, like Shuang Jing, used his spiritual consciousness to detect the development of the matter.

"The old monster in the stone attacked the food transport team? After the ambush, we will definitely send strong men to search everywhere. He is so bold,

You haven’t left yet?!" Ning Zhuo asked Shuang Jing.

Shuang Jing showed an expression filled with indignation: "The old monster in the stone is very capable. His earth-moving technique shows no signs of escaping. He is fast and secretive.

But fortunately, the loss of the grain transport team this time was not huge."

Ning Zhuo was silent.

He indeed wanted to plot against Mulan, but it was not his handiwork!

"In order to plot their way to the General's Palace, the senior officials from the Liangzhu Kingdom actually ambushed their own grain transport team."

"I didn't expect that the political struggle in the two countries would be so intense!"

"Shuangjing invited me to a banquet this time and allowed me to witness Mulan's current situation. Do you want to use this to beat me?"

"That's what the saying goes, both soft and hard. Haha."

Ning Zhuo sneered in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, Shuangjing said with deep meaning: "Our country's old General Mu has been bedridden for many years. He was once the pillar of our country's military, leading the Honghua Battalion to sweep across the battlefield and quell the evil in the north.

He suppressed the enemy chieftains in the west, swept away the evil atmosphere in the east, and defeated the barbarians in the south mountain range. It can be said that he has made great military achievements."

"Heroes grow old, that's what happens."

"His only descendant Mulan is really ambitious but not talented. How can he afford to be promoted to the general's palace with only a mere cultivation of Jindan?"

When Shuangjing said this, he sighed: "Our Liangzhu country is a small country, so every bit of national strength must be cherished."

"The General's Mansion takes up too much national power but contributes very little."

"In order to plan for the country, it is only right to ask Mulan to abdicate and make way for someone worthy of his position."

"It's just that the king is kind and can't bear to take action. We, the ministers, are willing to sacrifice the king's salary and be loyal to the king, so we should share the king's worries."

"I hope that this time, General Mulan will be informed and retreat bravely."

Ning Zhuo remained silent.

Shuangjing continued: "The current situation is changing, and the strength and weakness come back and forth. This is normal in the human world."

"In my opinion, young talents like Military Advisor Ru Ning are the future and the hope."

"Like birds perching on branches, as long as they know good trees, they can achieve great achievements. Small trees like Sanjiangying and diseased trees like Honghuaying will delay Army Master Ning's achievements. It would be a pity.

Already."

"What do you think, Commander Ning?"

Ning Zhuo shook his head, stared at his eyes, and stood up slowly.

He first bowed his hands in a salute, and then said: "Sir Shuangjing, I am a loyal minister who knows the importance of the country and cares about the monarch. But how can others speculate on the monarch's intentions? A loyal minister must speak out and give advice rather than secretly plan.

Manipulation from behind. If you are loyal to the country, how can you act arbitrarily and plot against others? If the king has not made it clear, how dare you do it privately? If we presume on our own, wouldn’t we be harming the country and ourselves?"

Ning Zhuo's face was serious, and he said righteously: "You want to 'abdicate the throne and make way for the worthy'". It is not something I can conspire with. A loyal minister can only be loyal to the emperor and assist him in governing. How can he decide state affairs on his own?"

"If we have different ways, we will not conspire against each other. Please forgive me for not having the blessing to serve as your lord's retainer. Ning Zhuo will take my leave now!"

After saying that, Ning Zhuo fluttered his sleeves and walked away, staring down the stairs and downstairs.

Shuangjing froze in place until he saw Ning Zhuo walking onto the street and disappearing into the crowd without looking back. Then he chuckled.

"I thought that since I came from a rich family, I should know how to maneuver."

"I didn't expect it to be a young man."

"Hmm - Ning Zhuo is only sixteen years old, and he has a passionate heart, which makes sense. Perhaps the Ning family allowed him to travel just to educate this son and make him understand the world and people's hearts?"

"Haha, that's fine."
