Chapter 21

When the night was getting darker, Mu Qianshan came back with a cold air all over his body.As soon as I walked into the tent, I felt warm on my body.Fu Li was standing by the door, and he naturally put a fox fur cloak on him.

"You don't have enough clothes, it's a bit cold outside, right?" Fu Li smiled with canine teeth, and his clear blue eyes were like lakes in autumn.

"..." Mu Qianshan didn't speak, but just nodded.

"It's almost winter, and it's easy to catch a cold after blowing the wind for a long time." The man got used to his indifferent attitude, said to himself, and handed him a small soup.

Fu Li didn't expect any reaction from Mu Qianshan, so he walked to the side and took out all kinds of pastries from the food box on the table one by one, almost filling the entire wooden table.

Mu Qianshan admitted that he lost his mind for a moment.

Those are all Gusu snacks. When I was young, I was always greedy but had no money to buy them. When I was older, I seldom ate them. Over the years, he was always used to wanting nothing.

The cakes in front of him were still steaming hot, and I don't know how Fuli made them in this barracks.Mu Qianshan looked at the piece of crabapple cake that he held in front of his eyes, but didn't move.

"Huh? Don't you like this? What about mincemeat?" Fu Li asked, seeing that he was still expressionless.

"You don't have to."

Mu Qianshan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said.

He already knew Fuli's thoughts on him, and it's not like other people have been like this in these years.It's just that Mu Qianshan is used to being alone. When he is used to loneliness and darkness, even a little light is dazzling.

"It's okay." The man paused, then smiled indifferently, "You can do whatever you want."

What he said was casual, but extremely gentle. For a moment, Mu Qianshan didn't know whether he was joking or serious.

"So much, it's not easy to throw it away if you don't eat it."

As Fuli said, he took out a pair of golden chopsticks and put them on the small plate in front of him, and he also took a piece of rose cake and ate it.

Although there are quite a few cases in the palace, Mu Qianshan is alone and used to living a life of luxury, so it would still be a waste for him to throw away these exquisite pastries just out of the pan.

Mu Qianshan looked at the golden chopsticks in front of him, paused, and then silently picked up the crabapple cake that was attached to the small dish.

Seeing him eating, Fuli smiled deeply, and the two faced each other without speaking, each eating the pastry.It's just that Fuli glanced at him secretly from time to time, seeing how serious he was while eating, and felt a little less cold.

"Amu"

"...?" Mu Qianshan looked up.

"Well... I like you, but don't be burdened. I will try my best not to disturb you. Of course, I also believe that one day you will accept me." Fu Li endured not to break the corner of his mouth Wipe off the scum, if possible, he prefers to lick it off. "As you Han people say, 'Sincerity makes gold and stone open'. I don't know if I used it correctly?"

"..." Mu Qianshan nodded, still expressionless.

"... Well, let's do this first."

Fu Li didn't know if he took what he said to heart, or if it was the first time he was so unsure.

He smiled, went to pour a cup of tea, and then talked to Mu Qianshan, "People in the Central Plains like to drink tea. I don't know if you are. On our grassland, men all drink kumiss."

Anyway, Mu Qianshan basically didn't know how to answer, at most he just nodded and said yes.Fuli simply regarded himself as a storyteller in a teahouse in the Central Plains, chatting and laughing about the anecdotes of his travels to various countries.

When Mu Qianshan left, Fuli looked at his back and suddenly said, "Always alone, are you tired?"

The footsteps stopped, but the man's voice was still indifferent, "Lao Shizi misses you."

Although two people eat, they can't eat much.Fuli prepared a food box for him and put all the untouched pastries in it, insisting that he take it back.Mu Qianshan didn't refuse, and went to Zhao Xu's place after leaving the tent.

Zhao Xu also likes southern sweets, more so than him, and he often suffers from toothaches when he is almost crowned.

As soon as Mu Qianshan entered the tent, he saw Jiang Yunya lying down in front of the couch reading military books, while Zhao Xu was still asleep.

Mu Qianshan pointed to the food box, and then gently placed it on the table.After quietly greeting Jiang Yunya, he left.

In fact, he always remembers everyone's likes and dislikes, but he alone ignores himself.

..........................................

When Zhao Xu woke up and saw the food box, he was naturally overjoyed.Although there are chefs in the army, it is inconvenient for me to send someone to cook small stoves.

One is to show the spirit of suffering with the soldiers, and the other is, how can he be easily known and liked by others like his identity.

"Qian Shan didn't say anything?"

"No."

Zhao Xu immediately felt guilty about his behavior of "packaging and selling" Mu Qianshan, but he didn't think so when he ate the cake that was not yet cold.

This king has shared joys and sorrows with the soldiers all day long, and you guys are living so well!

All desires were satisfied, Zhao Xu remembered that he had to do business, and after sending Jiang Yunya away, he asked someone to call Xu Jingyan.

Xu Jingyan was elated every time he saw Zhao Xu, and when he saw the pine nut Huangqian cake he was eating, he wanted to pounce on him.

"I knew you, brother Xu, are the best for me! You even cook a small stove for me!!" Xu Jingyan took the chopsticks that Zhao Xu silently handed over, and exclaimed.

Zhao Xu is also embarrassed to say that you came too fast, and I haven't had time to accept it.He didn't answer, and directly started to ask about the business, "How is Tang Ming and the others recently?"

"What else can I do? Just stay here honestly. His old father-in-law has been kicked out of power, who else can he rely on to gain face with the prince... Speaking of which, brother Xu, you are so powerful, when did you master so many kings?" The criminal evidence, I didn’t mention it before, but now it’s a big one..."

"Hey, stop first! Don't praise me!" Zhao Xu felt that he and he talked very little. "Is there any trace of that Turkic man?"

"Well... there is only a trace of news, I'm not sure if I can find it."

"Do your best."

There is no loophole in Tang Ming's evidence that they forged their brothers and sent troops without authorization. The only breakthrough point is the Turkic man who listened to their conversation.But these clues are also slim. They have succeeded in undercovering, so how can people come out and continue to show their faces.

If you can't find them, it doesn't matter too much, Zhao Xu has his own way to suppress them.But this can't wash away the "criminal evidence" of the senior brother. Sending troops without authorization led to the annihilation of the entire army. This is a big stain on the general's career.
