"Mu Lan, are you going to Jinchuan next, or are you going to Yuguan City with me?"
Jin Feng asked: "If you are going to Jinchuan, I will have the boat stop for you to get off."
"Of course we go to Yuguan City!"
Qing Mulan said without hesitation: "It is rare that you, sir, have the opportunity to personally lead troops on an expedition. My brother told me to follow him and learn how to fight."
"Then you go to Feifei and ask her to arrange a place for you to rest."
Jin Feng nodded and welcomed Qing Mulan's joining.
In the Battle of Damangpo, although Jin Feng had dealt with Wei Shengjun, the most influential figure on the battlefield that time and the person who dominated the battlefield was the Ninth Princess.
Jin Feng was originally a little worried that Wei Sheng's army would be disobedient when they arrived at Yuguan City.
It would be best for Qing Mulan to follow the past.
"Okay, then I'll go find Director Zuo!"
Qing Mulan handed the long and short muskets to Amei, waved to Jin Feng, and turned to find Zuo Feifei.
Jin Feng looked at her back and sighed secretly.
He hasn't gotten used to his identity yet.
The Ninth Princess has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. It stands to reason that Qing Xinyao and Qing Huai are both ministers under the Ninth Princess.
Although Jin Feng does not have any official position, everyone knows that he is the backbone of the Ninth Princess, and his words are more effective than the Ninth Princess.
When he has reached this stage, if he needs Qing Xinyao to do anything, he can just give the order directly, without being polite at all.
But just now he said "thank you" to Qing Mulan.
Qing Mulan is familiar with him, so she might not care too much. If he is an ambitious minister, he might get angry when he sees Jin Feng being so polite. Over time, he might not be obedient anymore.
Qing Mulan replied, "Your Majesty will dispatch you, and I and other ministers will naturally go all out." In fact, he was reminding Jin Feng of this.
This is also the reason why Princess Ninth is always so serious outside.
As an emperor, she must maintain her dignity so that she will not be looked down upon.
It's just that Jin Feng has no class concept and has an easy-going personality. If you ask him to put on airs, he really can't do it.
"It seems that you have to pay more attention to your words and behavior outside from now on!"
Jin Feng reminded himself silently in his heart, completely unaware that Qing Mulan, who had her back to him, also let out a long sigh of relief.
Although the Qing family is a family of military commanders, it does not mean that the Qing family are all reckless men.
On the contrary, it is very politically wise that the Qing family can be passed down for so many years, and that there is a duke in the family, and there are also two military princes, Qing Xinyao and Qing Huai, who hold heavy troops.
Neither Qing Xinyao nor Qing Huai had the ambition to become emperor, and they knew that with their strength, they were not qualified to become emperor, so they swore allegiance to the new Dakang without hesitation when Ninth Princess and Jin Feng recruited them.
In their view, Jin Feng has the power to change the world, and the Ninth Princess has the means to change the world. Together, the other vassal kings are no match for them.
Jin Feng, Qing Huai, and Qing Mulan have an irreconcilable relationship, and the Qing family is the mother's natal family of the Ninth Princess. As long as they perform well, when the new Dakang is established, the Qing family will definitely become the largest family besides the royal family.
This is the goal of Qing Xinyao and Qing Huai!
Before Qing Mulan set off, Qing Xinyao reminded her many times in private that she must let Jin Feng and Ninth Princess see Xichuan's sincerity.
When she heard the word "thank you" from Jin Feng's mouth, Qing Mulan knew that her mission was completed and went to find Zuo Feifei with peace of mind.
Jin Feng did not go back immediately. He watched the female workers practice on the deck for a while before returning to the cabin.
As soon as he returned, he saw Amei standing at his door. After entering the house, Qing Mulan and Zuo Feifei were sitting on their bed, drinking porridge from pottery bowls.
Runniang stood aside and looked at them helplessly.
Seeing Jin Feng come in, Qing Mulan quickly put down the porridge bowl: "Sir, it's been a long time since I had the food cooked by Run Niang. I missed it so much. I just saw it and couldn't hold it back."
"Me too!" Zuo Feifei also smiled and put down her rice bowl: "Sir, don't worry, we didn't finish the meal, we left it for you."
Jin Feng stretched out his head and glanced at the basket. There was at most one bowl of white porridge left in the clay pot, and almost all the side dishes on the plate were eaten.
"Is this what you left for me?"
Jin Feng pointed at the basket with black lines on his head.
Both Zuo Feifei and Qing Mulan pretended to be stupid, picking up their empty rice bowls and covering their faces.
One of them had stood on the deck all night last night, and the other had been running around on the speedboat all night. They were both tired and hungry.
I couldn't hold it back when I saw the food prepared by Run Niang just now.
I feel a little embarrassed now.
"Master... I'll make another one for you."
Runniang was as weak-tempered as Guan Xiaorou. When she saw Zuo Feifei and Qing Mulan were in trouble, she quickly opened her mouth to help them out.
"Just stop running back and forth. I'll let the hammer hit a can of porridge again and bring over some steamed buns."
Making porridge is a time-consuming job, and he came back at midnight last night. Although he knew that Run Niang was just going through menstruation, he didn't dare to torment her too much, but it was already late at night when he finished.
Runniang came back early in the morning with porridge, and Jin Feng knew that she had not slept much last night.
Jin Feng kicked Qing Mulan's legs angrily: "Sit over there!"
After Qing Mulan got out of the way, Jin Feng pushed Runniang down on the bed distressedly: "You have a good rest today!"
"The boss?"
It was only then that Qing Mulan came back to her senses, took Zuo Feifei's arm and asked, "When did they get married?"
"If I guessed correctly, it should have been last night, right?"
Zuo Feifei glanced at Jin Feng, her eyes full of narrow-mindedness.
"last night?"
Qing Mulan scanned the small cabin again and understood instantly.
He smiled and joked: "No wonder I just met Run Niang and felt that something was wrong with her. Now I think about it, she walks a little awkwardly!"
Runniang was shy at first, but after being teased like this by the two of them, she blushed so much that she almost bled. She picked up the basket and walked out of the cabin quickly.
"Master, I'll get you some food..."
"Look at the good things you two have done?" Jin Feng glared at Zuo Feifei and Qing Mulan angrily.
"Sir, if it weren't for me, would you and Runniang have made such rapid progress? Isn't it unkind to blame me now?"
Tieguan Mountain is not far from Xihewan, and the fragrance used in the production of soaps is prepared by Guan Xiaorou and Wanniang. Therefore, in recent months, Zuo Feifei has been to Xihewan frequently, and she has gradually become familiar with Jin Feng and talked with him.
A lot more casual.
No outsider would dare to make fun of Jin Feng like the female workers in Iron Can Mountain.
Perhaps influenced by the female workers in Tin Can Mountain, the scale of her jokes is generally relatively large.
Several times, Guan Xiaorou was teased until her face turned red, and later she was hit with a broom.
In fact, this also shows from the side that her relationship with Jin Feng and Guan Xiaorou is really close.
"Good men don't fight with women!"
Jin Feng knew that he could not speak to Zuo Feifei, not to mention that there was Qing Mulan beside him to stir up trouble, so he changed the topic directly, looked at Qing Mulan and asked: "Didn't you discuss with Zuo Feifei about a place to live? Come to me.
