Chapter 512: First Meeting Yue Ruyan

When Chen Mo looked at Yue Ruyan, the latter was also looking at him.

He is tall, wearing gold and red armor, with a "long sword" hanging on his waist. His face is fair and cold, with sharp edges, highlighting his heroic appearance, and a pair of sharp eyes that look like swords. The ax is sharp and sharp when used to chop.

He has a good appearance and the ability to expel foreign enemies and regain lost ground. Apart from anything else during this meeting, Yue Ruyan had a pretty good impact on him in terms of senses.

"Mr. An Guo, this is General Yue whom I mentioned to you in my letter." Zuo Lianglun knew how to watch people's words. He originally wanted to talk to Chen Mo about business first, but when he saw that the two of them were already sizing each other up, he quickly introduced him. .

A smile appeared on Chen Mo's stern face, and he stepped forward and said with a smile: "I have long heard of the name of General Yue. He is a female prostitute, but not inferior to the men. He led his people to fight against the Xirong Kingdoms and Jinxia in Longyou. He praised me. The majesty of the Song Dynasty is admirable. Now I finally see the general's style. He is indeed a hero among women and a hero of the world. "

Hearing this, Yue Ruyan felt a little embarrassed. Although she had heard this kind of flattery and polite words many times before, different people would have different feelings when they said it. After all, the so-called achievements she had achieved, Compared to the man in front of him, he was nothing worth mentioning.

"An Guo Gong was ridiculous. Ruyan was just a general of a defeated army. Thanks to the Duke's shelter, he was able to survive. An Guo Gong went north this time to overturn Jin Xia's conspiracy, defeated the Jin Xia East Route Army, and regained the north. , The horse stepped on the sea and feasted at the pass, killed Timur under the horse, and was victorious in every battle, this is the real hero, Ruyan admired him.

Her voice is not as melodious as that of a Jiangnan woman, but it is clear and firm, with a unique flavor.

"General Yue, what are you talking about? I don't want to take you in. It's my honor that General Yue trusts me and is willing to take refuge in me. I should thank General Yue. And we will be a family from now on, so General Yue doesn't need to be polite anymore." ." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Although Yue Ruyan's expression didn't change much, her heart became a little flustered, her heart beat faster, and she finally let out a light hum.

Xia Zhining, who was standing behind Chen Mo, flattened her mouth and secretly spat at the two of them.

After talking to Yue Ruyan, Chen Mo and Zuo Lianglun came to the temporary military tent and chatted about official matters.

Zuo Lianglun mainly reported on his work.

For example, this year’s autumn harvest situation, as well as the tax situation.

Well, after Yuzhou regained stability, the Yamen also began to collect taxes, but compared to before, they collected 30% less.

After all, Chen Mo controls such a large territory and needs money everywhere. If he does not collect taxes, just relying on businesses such as Fuze Restaurant, coal, and perfume, as well as the support of the Wu and Xiao families, is not enough.

Zuo Lianglun also said that now that Li County and Shuofei County were burned like this, the people who were injured were undoubtedly the people of the two counties. At this time, the Yamen should compensate the people and help the people rebuild.

"I'll leave these to you, Mr. Zuo. Just report to me in the end." Chen Mo said.

"Nuo." Feeling that Chen Mo valued him so much, Zuo Lianglun became more loyal to him, and immediately said: "I wonder if Duke An Guo knows what happened in Huaizhou?"

"I heard something."

Such a big thing happened in Huaizhou. Geng Songfu and the supervisory guard reported it to Chen Mo. However, he was busy with matters in the north at that time and had no time to take care of it. Moreover, he saw the latest news from the supervisory guard. King Huai After experiencing this great defeat, he was reduced to withered bones in the grave, and there was no threat to him at all.

Of course, if there is no threat, there is no threat. This account still needs to be settled with King Huai.

But what Zuo Lianglun wanted to say was obviously not this, but: "Mrs. Xiao came to Linzhou?"

"Which Mrs. Xiao?" Chen Mo didn't react for a moment.

After all, he was just playing with Mrs. Xiao.

After all, there is no shortage of women around him, and Mrs. Xiao is not the kind of stunning beauty who can conquer the country. If it weren't for her status, Chen Mo might not touch her.

It's been so long since she left. To be honest, Chen Mo couldn't even remember her without reminding her.

"Mrs. Xiao from Prince Huai's Mansion," Zuo Lianglun said.

Hearing this, Chen Mo finally remembered and said, "Why did she come to Linzhou?"

"The Xiao family took refuge in us. They were probably afraid that the matter would be exposed and the Queen of Huai could settle the accounts, so they sneaked over here. Previously, the Xiao family sent someone to find Xiaguan and asked him to do it."

Before Zuo Lianglun finished speaking, Chen Mo interrupted him and said, "Why would the Xiao family come to you?"

"After all, I was in the officialdom before and had dealings with each other, but the relationship between Xiaguan and the Xiao family is not deep. The reason why Xiaguan agreed to help the Xiao family was because the Xiao family told Xiaguan that Mrs. Xiao and you, Duke An Guo. The relationship is huge.”

"Ahem." Chen Mo coughed a few times and then said: "I understand, I will handle this matter myself. Is there anything else?"

"there is none left."

"Then tell me about Yuezhi's situation."

After Zuo Lianglun retreated, Xia Zhining walked in, crossed her arms and said coldly: "Mrs. Xiao can't escape your grasp in the end. Prince Huai offended you. It was really the worst choice in his life."

Chen Mo knew that she was eavesdropping. He spread his hands and said, "You heard it too. She came here on her own. It has nothing to do with me."

Xia Zhining rolled her eyes at him, and then said helplessly: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. But that's all Xiao Yunxi, Mrs. Xiao, don't take this home."

"I know it well."

It just so happens that Tongque Garden is not full yet, so let Mrs. Xiao live in Tongque Garden.

After saying that, Chen Mo was about to shake Xia Zhining's delicate hand, while saying: "Zhi Ning, go get a basin of hot water to soak your feet."

Xia Zhining dodged and said: "Go find your General Yue."

Chen Mo: "..."

Xia Zhining said so, and after a while, she still got a basin of hot water for Chen Mo, but this time she didn't serve Chen Mo to soak his feet.

Night fell.

On New Year's Eve, the army gave the soldiers extra meals and plenty of wine.

On a night with howling cold wind, there was cheering in the barracks.

Chen Mo walked towards Yue Ruyan's tent.

There were so many people during the day, some things could only be said alone.

When he was about to reach Yue Ruyan's tent, Chen Mo saw a maid carrying a plate walking towards the tent.

Chen Mo stopped the maid and asked her what was on the plate.

The maid said it was to change the medicine for Yue Ruyan.

Chen Mo said: "I can do this, you go down."

Although the maid was from the Yue family

But she also knew that the master of the family would soon become a family with the Duke of Anguo.

Moreover, given the other party's status, she, as a servant, did not dare to say no, and immediately handed the tray in her hand to Chen Mo.

Outside the military tent, Yue Ruyan's personal soldiers were guarding. When he saw Chen Mo coming, he immediately asked Chen Mo to wait so that he could go in and report, but he saw Chen Mo waved his hand and walked in directly.
