"Do you have any thoughts about my current official position?" Feng Yi talked for a long time, but couldn't get to the point. He was too impatient, so he simply asked directly.
Cheng Hanyan looked at Feng Yi with suspicion: "You don't want to be a general now and want to give up your position to me?"
When Feng Yi heard what he said, he was immediately furious, and the dark clouds that had gathered in his heart instantly dissipated.
"Who said I don't want to be a general anymore? No, who said I still want to be this general..."
No matter what he said, Feng Yi felt that what he said was wrong. He became anxious for a moment, thinking about how to organize his words to say this clearly.
Cheng Hanyan probably understood what he wanted to express from his words.
"Do you want to train a successor?"
Feng Yi immediately tapped his fingers in the air twice excitedly, and it took him a long time to hold back a single word.
"right!"
"But, it's not even interesting..."
Feng Yi scratched his ears and stuffed his head for a long time. He really couldn't think of what to say, so he spoke out all his thoughts.
"The water in the capital is too deep now. The emperor is old but has not yet established a crown prince. There are three princes and a princess in the palace. The princess is much more favored than the three princes. Some people even suspect that the emperor wants to pass the throne to him.
This third princess."
"Of course, the princes in this palace are not vegetarians. They all have power in their hands. In order to compete for power, they have now begun to secretly win over the ministers in the court. Even many people have been buried in the army."
"In addition to a few princes, there are also ministers in the court who are ready to make moves. The most ambitious among them is the prime minister. He and I are old enemies. He has long wanted to eradicate dissidents and turn the emperor's army into his own."
"And you are now a rising star in the army. There is no guarantee that he will not come to win over you. He will use the opportunity of helping you to rise to power to cooperate with you and let you be used by him. Help him gain military power and start a rebellion."
Cheng Hanyan roughly understood what Feng Yi meant by these words.
"You asked me if I wanted to be a general. Did you want to train me and didn't want others to take advantage of me?"
Cheng Hanyan made it clear what Feng Yi wanted to express in just a few words.
"yes!"
"I understand. I don't want to be a general so far. It would be more appropriate for you to be in this position for a long time."
Feng Yi was choked to death by his words.
"You really have no ambition at all."
"If I have this ambition, wouldn't you be in danger?"
Cheng Hanyan lay down and pulled up the quilt, pretending to be ready to rest.
"Hey, I said you..."
"Don't worry about whether these are available or not. Just let nature take its course and go back to rest early."
Feng Yi wanted to say something more, but finally stopped, and the words that came to his lips turned into a sigh.
When he was about to leave Cheng Hanyan's tent, he still couldn't help but speak.
"I know that your family has a grudge against the second prince. The person you are dealing with is the second prince, so you don't want to get involved in these power struggles."
"But have you ever thought that the moment you walked into the military camp, you had already entered a conspiracy field. It is impossible to get out and escape unscathed."
After Feng Yi said what he wanted to say, giving Cheng Hanyan enough time to think clearly, he turned around and left his camp.
Just after General Feng Yi left his camp, Cheng Hanyan sat up.
He said to himself: "How could I not know such a thing? It's just that I have no choice and don't want to choose. I just hope that my family can live a safe life and be safe."
That night, neither Cheng Hanyan nor Feng Yi could really fall asleep.
Also not asleep was Shopkeeper Yu who was preparing to seek refuge with Song Yutong.
The sky has just begun to rise, and the morning light has already been tainted with a bit of heat.
Naituanzi accompanied Song Yutong from home to Qianweiju Restaurant. When passing the gate, she saw a person standing outside.
Song Yutong looked at the man who looked familiar. He was the shopkeeper Yu who asked the fired clerk to instigate others to cause trouble a few days ago.
Song Yutong recognized the person and immediately cheered up.
This man came to the door of the restaurant early in the morning. What did he want to do? Did he still want to cause trouble?
Song Yutong walked over immediately. Shopkeeper Yu saw Song Yutong and immediately bowed respectfully. Song Yutong even thought that this man had changed his temper.
Why are you so respectful to me all of a sudden? It doesn't look like you are here to cause trouble. Who has ever seen someone who comes to make trouble and salutes as soon as he comes up?
"Shopkeeper Yu, what are you doing..." Song Yutong spoke with some confusion and temptation.
"I beg the Song Dong family to accept me as their apprentice. I am willing to work in Qianweiju for three years. I just ask the Song Dong family to teach me how to cook. I want to be the royal chef, so please do it!"
Shopkeeper Yu's words were sonorous and powerful. After finishing speaking, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Such a big gift really shocked Song Yutong.
"You can't help me if you want to be the royal cook. I'm not a palace official who recruits royal cooks. Although my husband can go to the capital to receive rewards, it doesn't mean that he can speak well in front of the emperor."
Song Yutong didn't want to cause such a big trouble.
This person even asked people to come to her restaurant to cause trouble, and then he wanted to come to her Qianweiju as an apprentice.
She was really afraid that shopkeeper Yu had some worse intentions to take revenge on her.
If there is some poison in the food she cooked...that is really not something that five hundred taels of silver can solve.
"Song Dongjia, I want to learn cooking from you!"
Shopkeeper Yu knew that he said too much, so Song Yutong might not have grasped the point.
Therefore, he chose to explain the issue he wanted to explain clearly so that Song Yutong could understand it.
"I won't accept you as my apprentice."
Song Yutong refused without thinking.
She couldn't afford to accept an apprentice like Shopkeeper Yu.
"If you don't accept me, then I will stand here until you agree."
Shopkeeper Yu looked determined.
Now that he has changed hands of the restaurant, he is standing at the door of Qianweiju with a baggage on his back, which is really eye-catching.
"Don't think about it. You can't kidnap me morally. There's no way I can agree to it."
After Song Yutong finished speaking, he left in a hurry without giving shopkeeper Yu a chance to speak.
She didn't take Shopkeeper Yu's matter seriously.
What she cared about the most was the milk dumplings.
Ever since Da Nai Tuanzi dropped out of Bailu Academy, he never wanted to go to school again.
The old gentlemen at Bailu Academy all knew that Naituanzi had been wronged, and also knew that Cheng Hanyan was now a popular figure in front of General Feng Yi, so they rushed to their house to apologize.
Just yesterday, I brought up the gift and said that I wanted to invite Nai Tuanzi back to Bailu Academy to attend school.
But Nai Tuanzi was not only unhappy, but also lost his temper at the old gentleman.
It was rare for Song Yutong to see Naituanzi be so angry, and she was frightened at the time.
