Jiang Yanyi was stunned by his scolding, but when he thought about how the original owner had created many chance encounters in order to see him, he slowly came to his senses.
She frowned slightly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I am waiting here because of the order of the general. I am afraid that Master Lu has misunderstood something. In the past, I was stubborn and caused Master Lu a lot of trouble. Today, I am here to apologize to Master Lu. If I see Master Lu in the future, I will take the initiative to avoid him. I hope Master Lu will not say such words that damage my reputation again."
At this moment, the curtain of the big tent was lifted again, and Xing Yao shouted from afar: "Where is Jiang Hua from the Fire Camp? The general is calling for her."
Jiang Yanyi bowed to Lu Linyuan and walked away without looking back, without even glancing at him the whole time.
Lu Linyuan was a little confused at first, and then he felt a burning sensation on his face, as if someone had slapped him hard.
He has never been so embarrassed in his previous life and this life combined!
Fortunately, this place was far away from the tent, and the guards in front of the tent could not hear what they were saying.
Besides feeling embarrassed, he also felt an indescribable sense of emptiness in his heart.
In his memory, Jiang Yanyi had always followed him shamelessly. No matter how heartless his words were, she turned a deaf ear to them. Gradually, it seemed that hating her had become his instinct.
Before this, Lu Linyuan had never thought that one day he would hear such words from Jiang Yanyi.
Perhaps because it was too awkward just now, Jiang Yanyi's words of drawing a line between the two did not make him feel happy at all.
Lu Linyuan glanced at Jiang Yanyi's back and left in embarrassment.
Just say it to yourself in your heart, this is naturally the best thing.
***
Before Jiang Yanyi entered the tent, Xing Yao went back to the tent first. Thinking of the scene he had just seen, he thought for a moment and said to Feng Shuo, "Master, Master Lu seemed to have said something to the cook in Huotou Camp just now, but the distance was too far, so I didn't hear it clearly."
Chi Qing, who was sitting below, had sharp ears. Upon hearing this, his fox eyes were instantly filled with gossip: "What the Lu family kid said at the banquet must be a lie! He and the young cook must know each other. I think the young cook told us that Dingjia Village was not peaceful before, and she might be worried about the safety of the Lu family kid!"
Something flashed across Feng Shuo's clear phoenix eyes, but he said nothing.
Chi Qing looked at his increasingly cold expression. It was rare for him to be defeated, so he could not help but happily waved the folding fan in his hand: "I think it may be that the flower has feelings, but the water has no feelings. After all, the boy from the Lu family is really cold to the little cook. Alas, poor little cook, her heart is wronged~"
He deliberately prolonged his tone.
Feng Shuo half lowered his eyes and looked at him, his eyelashes sweeping out a delicate cold arc, not intimidating, but intimidating: "Have you forgotten that Lu Linyuan came from the capital? From Dengzhou to Xizhou, it is not on the way to the capital."
After being caught by Feng Shuo, Chi Qing also discovered the problem.
Didn't the little cook say she was going from Dengzhou to Xizhou to find her fiancé? How did she get to know Lu Linyuan who was in the capital
He said: "So...either the little cook had been to the capital before coming to Xizhou, or...the little cook's identity is simply fake!"
Feng Shuo didn't reply, his eyes fell on the bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts on the table.
Because he lost his sense of taste at a young age, he has never paid much attention to food and has developed the habit of eating only three meals a day.
After I got the bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts back that night, I took a few back to the doctor for inspection and left the rest there without touching them again.
He looked at Sugar-Roasted Chestnuts with deep eyes. Even if Chi Qing racked his brains, he couldn't guess what he was thinking.
When Jiang Yanyi entered the tent, he felt that the general's aura seemed much colder than before.
She thought to herself, could it be that there is strength in numbers, and that too much carbon dioxide had been exhaled previously, raising the temperature around him
She took two steps forward and knelt down: "I pay my respects to the great general."
Feng Shuo's cold eyes swept over her and suddenly asked, "You said before that you came to Xizhou to find your fiancé. What's your fiancé's name and where does he live?"
Jiang Yanyi originally thought that he was just going to receive the reward and leave, but he didn't expect him to ask these questions. He knew that it must be Lu Linyuan's words at the banquet that made him suspicious.
She couldn't help but sweat on her hands.
Because he was an illegal resident and was afraid that no one would believe him if he confessed his identity, and if the news got back to the capital, the emperor would send people to kill him secretly. He had no choice but to make up a false identity.
After all, as a girl from a noble family, she was exiled to this frontier as a prostitute by the emperor just because of the conflict between her and her sisters. Once the matter was exposed, it would only make people think that the emperor was immoral, and it would also affect the reputation of her "common sister" Jiang Yanxi, and the entire Jiang family would be disgraced.
So when the emperor decided to send her to the army as a prostitute, he had no intention of letting her live.
—If she were alive, she would be a threat to the emperor, Jiang Yanxi, and the Jiang family.
Jiang Yanyi was also very clear that with Minister Jiang's stupidity, even if she stood in front of him now, he would still say that she was not his daughter.
After all, recognizing her would not only damage the reputation of the Jiang family, but would also affect the reputation of his precious concubine's daughter.
Now that Feng Shuo has become suspicious, considering his ruthless methods, Jiang Yanyi dare not imagine what would happen if he discovered that he had forged his identity.
She tried to make her voice sound calm. "In reply to the general, my fiancé is... called Chen Ergou. We were engaged when we were children. My parents died of the plague and the village was sealed off. I was unable to learn his exact address from them. I only heard from my father a few years ago that his home was in the southern part of Xizhou."
"Chen Ergou?" Feng Shuo's mouth twitched slightly.
Chi Qing, who was sitting below, burst out laughing.
Jiang Yanyi was a little embarrassed, but still nodded with an extremely sincere look: "His nickname is Goudan."
There are so many people named Chen Ergou in the world. Since their name is Ergou, their nickname is naturally Goudan.
The south city is so big, and more than ten years have passed. With this little information, finding her fiancé is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Jiang Yanyi felt uneasy, but fortunately Feng Shuo didn't ask any more questions.
He changed the question: "Have you ever been to the capital?"
Jiang Yanyi could feel the cold sweat sliding down her back. She pinched her palms, faced Feng Shuo's gaze that was colder than a knife, and shook her head, saying, "I've never been there."
Lu Linyuan said at the table that he had recognized the wrong person. If she said she had been to the capital, wouldn't she be digging a hole for herself
Feng Shuo leaned back, half of his back resting on the back of the chair, his dark eyes deep, and said: "You have provided information for merit, and I will now grant you a reward. Tell me what you want."
Jiang Yanyi was stunned. This reward was too big.
She doesn't deserve it for her contribution, right
Why did this great general suddenly make such a decision
Perhaps he understood the confusion on her face, Feng Shuo added: "I always keep my word."
Jiang Yanyi didn't have the courage to ask for the lion's money.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to ask for a good name for a prostitute in the army. Her name is Qiu Kui. On the day she was sold to a brothel, an official of the imperial court died there. She was implicated and was also sent to the army to be a prostitute."
Feng Shuo narrowed his narrow eyes, looking intimidating without being angry: "You are quite courageous. The list of those who were exiled to the military camp to serve as prostitutes is included in the Ministry of Justice. To expunge the charges requires the Emperor's imperial decree."
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Jiang Yanyi's forehead, and he knelt on the ground, not knowing what to do.
Chi Qing spoke up at the right time: "Hey, I suddenly remembered that the spy was identified by that camp prostitute."
Feng Shuo glanced at him and Chi Qing touched his nose awkwardly.
Feng Shuo then turned his gaze back to Jiang Yanyi and said, "Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. I accept it. But you have to think it over. There is only one reward. Are you sure you want to ask for someone else?"
When Jiang Yanyi heard this, a big stone in her heart fell to the ground, and she nodded vigorously: "I have thought it through."
Feng Shuo was slightly surprised, but he quickly calmed down and said, "In that case, I will write the memorial tomorrow, and you can leave now."
Jiang Yanyi thanked him and was about to get up when Chi Qing, who had wandered into the corner of the tent, suddenly howled, "You are so wasteful! Do you know how valuable this pot of peppers is? It would be fine if you just left it in the corner to collect dust, but you watered it with the water you use to wash your brushes?"
Hearing the voice, Jiang Yanyi glanced towards the corner, but his sight was blocked by the tables and chairs, so he couldn't see what the chili peppers Chi Qing was talking about were.
When she stood up, Chi Qing, with a look of pain on his face, took out the pot of peppers that Feng Shuo had placed in the corner.
The originally lush green leaves were dotted with light ink-colored spots, and between the branches and leaves hung many small, half-green, half-red, strip-shaped fruits with pointed ends.
Jiang Yanyi was completely frozen in place.
That's... chili pepper!
