Chapter 40: This General Was a Bit Worried

How did Shi Qingxue dare to let the teacher know that her thoughts drifted away? She shook her head hurriedly, but her little face was red and her eyes fluttered. It didn’t seem that there was nothing wrong with her.

So Mr. Li, who cared for the students, asked again, “Are you unwell? Do you need a break?”

At this moment, even other sisters looked over here.

Shi Qingxue was scratching her head and trying to think of a reason, but she glimpsed at Mo Junyang’s carefree appearance and suddenly got mad. She stepped on his foot when no one noticed.

Mo Junyang’s face was almost twisted with the pain, but in the face of Qingxue’s threatening eyes, he had to bear it and cough twice, apologizing, “Sorry, I didn’t hold my book just now and it fell down, so Sixth Lady was scared. Mr. Li, please forgive me.”

This reason was not enough to convince him. But since Mo Junyang had given the answer, Li Jin just glanced suspiciously at the two, “Be careful then.”

Then he turned back and continued to teach.

Li Jin was good in this aspect. Even if he was facing the royal people, he could treat them equally, he didn’t flatter or treat them differently.

Shi Qingxue escaped from this, but she couldn’t help glaring at Mo Junyang. Then she looked away and ignored him.

If she had known it, she wouldn’t have brought Mo Junyang to Qingming Residence. Let alone he caused trouble, he even made her be criticized.

Shi Baojin saw the interaction between the two in her eyes, and she disliked Shi Qingxue even more. She again approached Mo Junyang and said, “Your Excellency, why do you ignore me?”

Mo Junyang looked to Shi Qingxue several times but didn’t get any response. And he was harassed by the anthomaniac girl again. Needless to say how depressed he was in his heart.

He stood up instantly, nodded slightly to Li Jin and left calmly, leaving Shi Baojin alone astonished and resentful.

“Huh! There are so many people, and I don’t believe that you are really emotionless and not interested in women! One day, I will make you fall for me!” Shi Baojin gritted her teeth and planned in her heart.

But Mo Junyang didn’t really intend to leave. After he went out of the door, he went up to the big banyan tree outside the Qingming Residence. He found a place with a good view, leaned on the tree and looked at the person who were reading intently without any worries.

“Xue…”

At night, Leng Yuan’s greeting post was again delivered to Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang went to meet him, but unexpectedly, Leng Yuan chose a good place which was prosperous with extravagant feasting and revelry and was full of people dancing and singing.

In the Yixiang Pavilion.

“Mr. Leng is really in a good mood!” Mo Junyang said slowly, sitting in the elegant private room on the second floor and looking around those people dancing and singing below.

Leng Yuan who was a strong man, became embarrassed by the words of Mo Junyang, he barely smiled, “It would not be appropriate to make appointments elsewhere in the evening.”

He was helpless too!

At present, what Emperor hated most was the officials becoming alliance. They could meet in tea houses during the day, but at night, they could only meet in such places.

Mo Junyang waved his hand to show that it was okay. He only asked, “What is it for that you want to meet me?”

Leng Yuan didn’t talk nonsense, and said straightforwardly, “Right Prime Minister went to the house to find Minister of War yesterday. They discussed for about two hours in the reading room and it seemed that it was for the transferring of food of the army in the northwest.”

Although he didn’t hear the dialogue between the two, after that, Minister of War, Feng Jifeng ordered him to gather the food and seemed to plan to transfer it to the northwest.

Mo Junyang’s eyes flickered, and he frowned slightly. He asked in return, “Then what do you think they talked about?”

“These days, the issue of food transferring has been discussed in the court every morning, and Duke Shi reported several times. The food will definitely be sent. And Emperor has announced that the Shi Army would be treated well.

However, the transferring of food is a beneficial job. Who will transfer it will finally determine how much welfare can be delivered to the army in the northwest. But these maggots only care about how much money they can put in their own pockets. Who cares about the lives of soldiers in the northwest!”

As Leng Yuan analyzed, he became angrier.

Those brave warriors of the Mo Country were risking their lives for the country, but those tricky ministers on the court began to covet their food. Damn them!

“I see! Mr. Leng seems to have a lot of complaints about this. In this case, why don’t you report to Emperor? I’m just the son of King Rui. I don’t have the title of nobility, and I’m not an official on the court. Why do you talk about this with me?” Mo Junyang said in a cold tone and was a little indifferent.

Leng Yuan didn’t expect that Mo Junyang didn’t resonate with his emotional remarks at all, and he felt disappointed in his heart.

But then he realized that the indifference of Mo Junyang would not be because he was short-sighted and only concentrated on present, but because Mo Junyang didn’t trust him at all.

Indeed, he rushed to see him and Mo Junyang had showed his respect to be willing to meet him.

Leng Yuan gritted his teeth, and showed his ace in the hole, “I was from the Shi Army. When I was young, I also followed the deceased Duke Shi, Shi Lei, to fight and risk our lives in the field. Of course I can’t bear it that others fool the people of the Shi Army! So Your Excellency, please help the Shi Army out.”

Mo Junyang half-supported his chin, playing with the glass with his long fingers, after a while, he said, “The Shi Army! Mr. Leng, what do you think I can do to help you?”

“This…” Leng Yuan was suddenly speechless.

To be honest, he would turn to Mo Junyang partly because he was too helpless.

He was a general taught by Shi Lei. He only knew how to fight the war and didn’t know about politics. He was usually indifferent and silent on the court and didn’t want to be associated with any princes.

Therefore, Mo Junyang was the best choice for Leng Yuan. But when it came to finding a way, he was also confused. What could Mo Junyang do?

The general didn’t know what to do at all.

Mo Junyang smiled again, and finally understood why Mo Junyu couldn’t wait to make him meet Leng Yuan.

This guy had a simple and emotional mind, and was very easy to control. Once he did him a favor, he could gain his loyalty and he also had a certain official position.

He was a necessary person for the pioneers in his force!

Mo Junyang thought it funny in his heart and he also understood Leng Yuan’s thoughts, so he didn’t embarrass him. He said, “Mr. Leng is honest to me, and I shall not talk nonsense to you. Since you have asked for help in front of me, I surely won’t let you return disappointed.”

“Really!” Leng Yuan yelled excitedly, and his joy spilled from his words.

Mo Junyang nodded and persuaded, “But Right Prime Minister and Mr. Feng are involved in this matter. If you want to make it happen, you must not be in a hurry. Please be calm.”

After a pause, he asked again, “I still have one thing to ask you. Mr. Leng, who do you think can be qualified to be the food transporter in the court?”

“Left Director of Bureau of War, Yue Quan, or Vice Director of Bureau of War, Zhao Gang, can do the job.” Leng Yuan answered subconsciously.

Then he realized that he could be suspected to appoint people for his own benefits, and he hurriedly waved his hand and clarified, “Battle is the matter of Ministry of War. I’m not familiar with the officials in other departments. I only know that the virtues and abilities of those two are superior, and then I recommend them to Your Excellency. I have never accepted their money to say nice words for them.”

Mo Junyang almost laughed out by Leng Yuan’s stupidity. He hadn’t said anything, but he said it first. There were indeed some suspicions of desiring to cover it up.

“Okay, I know.” At the end of the conversation, Mo Junyang didn’t have the interest in continuing to talk, he waved his hand to make him leave.

Unexpectedly, Leng Yuan showed an embarrassed look again, he looked hesitant but didn’t dare to say anything.

Mo Junyang glanced at him squinting, “Just say what you want.”

Leng Yuan’s face suddenly turned red. After a while, he explained intermittently, “Your Excellency, I am just an official of the fourth grade… I have never stepped into such prosperous places in my normal life. And I have a big family to support…”

He reluctantly explained his needy situation in a devious way, and finally gritted his teeth and closed his eyes to determine, “Could Your Excellency share the cost of this elegant room with me?”

No matter how calm Mo Junyang was in his mind or how indescribable his mood was, this time he couldn’t help laughing!

This Assistant Minister of Ministry of War was so funny!

After such devious words, he even thought of the situation where he would ask for rewards, but he could never expect that he wanted him to share the cost because he really couldn’t afford the expense of the elegant room of Yixiang Pavilion.

The people taught by Shi Lei were really surprising!

Leng Yuan was even more embarrassed with that laughter, and explained in a low voice, “I know that it is me who has invited Your Excellency here, and it doesn’t make sense to make you pay for the bill. How about regarding it as that I borrow this money from you, and I will repay you next month when I receive my salary?”

A dignified general of the fourth grade was so poor that he needed to borrow money to entertain guests, and it was really sad.

Mo Junyang no longer embarrassed Leng Yuan, and said with a serious look, “It is rare for you to worry about the country and you are not corrupt as an official. This dinner should be regarded as my respect to you!”

Before Leng Yuan refused, Mo Junyang said straightforwardly, “You don’t have to mind it. Next time, when you receive your salary, it will be fine to treat me with some tea!”

Leng Yuan saw that Mo Junyang restrained his smile and looked serious, and he knew that he was sincere. He couldn’t help but thank him and become more loyal to him, “Since Your Excellency has said, then obedience is better than politeness.”

Mo Junyang sent Leng Yuan away, and sat alone in the private room for a while to drink some wine. Then he thought that it was better to go back to the big tree outside the Luotong Boudoir admiring the moon and the person than to stay here.

When he was about to leave, the door was pushed open again by someone.

A woman was wearing a light purple tulle, and she didn’t even wear a bellyband. The half translucent tulle didn’t even cover where should be hidden under clothes. The shoulders were exposed, which looked much slutty.

Mo Junyang’s pupils shrank, and he felt annoyed. He yelled in a cold tone, “What are you doing here?”

The woman didn’t realize that she was being disliked. Seeing Mo Junyang’s uptight look, she thought that he had been seduced by her graceful posture and she took two steps forward again.

This time she was bolder, and even her laps were exposed.

She also covered her lips and chuckled, “Of course because I see Your Excellency is lonely, I come to accompany and entertain Your Excellency in particular.”

As she spoke, her body tried to lean into Mo Junyang’s arms as if she couldn’t stand at all.

Mo Junyang saw this and was agile enough to step aside, avoiding her successfully. If there were no chair in front of her, she would fall straight down on the ground.

Even though there was a chair, she fell hard enough. Let alone she hit straight on the cold and hard chair surface, because her center of gravity was unsteady, she was like a turtle groveling on the chair and moving the four legs at hazard.

From Mo Junyang’s angle, he could see her uncovered laps and even above there, which was really unsightly.

Mo Junyang turned his head around and gritted his teeth, yelling coldly, “Shi Baojin, I’ll give you one last chance. Get out!”

His voice was cold like ice and bloody horrible.
