Chapter 72 The sweet potato is back

Geng Liang's face turned ugly and he frowned and remained silent for a long time. It was obvious that as a member of the Huaxian Sect, he could not understand the power struggle in the temple. He was not aware of the countermeasures taken by various forces in Jiangdong against Sima Rui.

He also knew it well, and it took him a long time before he said dejectedly: "General, does he know how the court and the government should respond?"

Yunfeng played with the taste: "The two states of Jiang and Jing are Wang Dun's home bases. Needless to say, King Qiao Sima Cheng's foundation is shallow. There are only a few thousand old, weak, sick and disabled in Xiangzhou, so he is unable to serve the king. The other states have not yet taken any action.

, On the contrary, Director Wang knelt down outside the palace gate and begged for mercy, but the Lord was very generous and pardoned the entire Langya Wang family without any further investigation."

Geng Wenjun snorted coldly: "What kind of generosity do you have, sir? It's just that you want to seize power, but you're also afraid of dying, so you have to fight against both sides to leave a way out for yourself. Humph! This old thief, Director Wang, is the most hypocritical, and he got it right."

The Lord did not dare to fall out with him, so he pretended to be loyal and good in order to gain fame. One of his brothers lives outside, one lives inside, one is in charge of the army, one is in charge, one is pretending to be a bad guy, and the other is pretending to be a good guy, it is extremely disgusting!"

"Wen Jun, don't talk nonsense!" Geng Liang stopped shouting, turned to Yun Feng and cupped his hands: "Thank you, General, for reminding me, but Liang still has to go back. The Lord is in trouble, and as a minister, I cannot ignore it!"

Yunfeng nodded and said: "Since Du Tinghou has made up his mind, I won't say anything more. I can only wish the Ling brothers and sisters a safe journey. However, at this time, the Yangtze River is bound to be full of boats. For safety reasons, it is more appropriate to take the land route.

What do Du Tinghou and Miss Geng think?"

Geng Liang saluted and said: "Thank you, General, for your concern. Liang will pay attention to his own safety."

Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "Please wait a moment in the pavilion. I have one more thing to ask you." Then he took a pen and paper and wrote a seal on the spot. After sealing it, he handed it to Yu Gengliang and said: "I want to ask you

When I go to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit, I hope that I will be waiting in the capital pavilion to present it to the Lord."

Yunfeng belonged to a foreign vassal, and he was not allowed to enter the capital easily without the emperor's edict, otherwise it would be regarded as treason. Therefore, if he wanted to go to Jiankang to bring Zhang Lingyun back, he must have Sima Rui's edict in order to enter Jiankang openly.

Geng Liang couldn't help but have his mind stirred, and an idea came to his mind. He saluted and said: "In that case, Liang also asked the general to take care of his sister-in-law. When the general comes to Beijing, he will return with his sister-in-law. I also ask the general to agree."

Geng Wenjun's expression changed: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Geng Liang sighed: "The general is right, this trip does have unexpected risks. Brother, I will only take a few people along the Han River to Wuchang, and then take the land route. If I take you with me, an accident may happen." See Geng Wenjun.

I still wanted to speak, but Geng’s face lit up.

Shen said: "Okay, don't say any more. The general's interview will take place in a few months at most. Then you can return to Jiankang." Geng Liang was very trusting, as if he was not worried about Yun Feng taking him.

How about my sister?

"Oh!" Geng Wenjun responded helplessly, with a hint of reluctance in her heart, but at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief as if she was relieved. She was a little reluctant to leave.

Of course, her reluctance has nothing to do with Yunfeng. Her impression of this person is not very good. The main reason is that she can't let go of the women around Yunfeng, especially Yao Jing. The two girls quarreled and bickered almost every day, and neither one accepted the other, but

After arguing and arguing, they became as close as best friends. The two girls were about the same age, neither had bad intentions, and their personalities were lively, which was understandable.

Moreover, the army is much more comfortable than the division, which has many rigid rules. Xun Guanniang is extremely strict, but no one cares about her in the army. She can feel free, have fun every day, and have so many new friends and girlfriends to accompany her, which makes her very happy.

There is a feeling of being happy and reluctant to miss Shu.

Yunfeng said sternly: "I will take good care of your sister, so don't worry, Marquis Du Ting. May I ask what day you are planning to set off?"

Geng Liang muttered: "Then we'll be ready tomorrow. Liang still has to make some preparations, so I'll say goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could turn around, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door. Geng Liang looked back and saw five men walking in quickly, all in ragged clothes, unkempt faces, and behind them.

I was carrying two big bags, full of them, and I didn’t know what they were.

Just when Geng Liang was confused, Yunfeng was shocked and his face showed excitement. These five people were the personal guards he sent to Zhuyaling to find sweet potatoes two years ago.

The five people came to the front of the hall, put down their bags, and saluted in unison: "General, I have seen you at last." One of them continued: "Fortunately, we did not disgrace our orders and got back what the general wanted. Just on the way, I heard that the general had obtained it.

Hanzhong, I rushed here directly." After saying that, there was a trace of regret in his eyes.

Yunfeng understood what they were thinking. They just missed a series of battles. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Thank you for your hard work. You should go back and rest for a few days. I have other appointments. Are you afraid that there will be no battles? You will be indispensable in the future."

The five people were overjoyed and saluted again: "Thank you very much, general. I will retire at the end."

After the five people retreated, Yunfeng tore open a bag and dumped it on the ground with a crash. Suddenly, a large number of large and small irregular purple spheres appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The outer shell was still covered with hard lumps of soil.

Yunfeng reached out and took out one, wiped off the soil and looked at it carefully. Compared with the sweet potatoes in his previous life, except for being more irregular in shape, there were not many other differences. He immediately called out: "Come here!"

"The general is here!" Several personal guards walked in.

Yunfeng ordered: "Carry it down first, then cook a few more and bring them over later."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the bodyguard packed up the sweet potatoes and walked out.

It was only then that Yunfeng realized that everyone except Zhuge Fei had confusion in their eyes, so he explained: "This thing is called sweet potato. It is produced in Zhuya. It can be sown in mountains and dry land, and you don't need to take care of it.

The yield is huge and can be used as rice during times of famine.”

Geng Liang immediately understood the value of sweet potatoes. To be honest, this thing is not necessary for the south. Jiangnan is the land of plenty and there is never a shortage of food. But it is different in the north. There are many disasters in the north. The most scarce thing is food. Once again, he encounters warlords.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the melee was a thousand miles away. If what Yunfeng said was true, then in a few years at most, his army would no longer have to worry about food and grass, and he couldn't help but feel a layer of gloom in his heart.

Originally, he was planning to leave, but he didn't leave now. He waited until the sweet potatoes were cooked and tasted them.

About half an hour later, the guards brought the cooked sweet potatoes to the table. Yunfeng greeted, "Come and try it, everyone. How does it taste?"

The sweet potato was cut into half slices, and everyone tasted it with curiosity. Yunfeng also took out half of it. Suddenly, a bad premonition came to his heart. It turned out that this sweet potato did not have a golden core like the later ones.

Instead, it is slightly red and white.

I tried to take a small bite and taste it carefully. The sweetness was there, but it was a little astringent, and the texture was rough and not delicate enough. It obviously had more fiber. It seemed that I wanted to eat the same food as in my previous life in one bite.

, the mouth is full of sticky silk, and the yellow and yellow effect is impossible.

Looking at everyone's reaction, Geng Liang was okay. After all, men have stronger endurance, but the women all frowned and had difficulty swallowing. This stuff is not delicious!

Yunfeng secretly shook his head. It seems that the varieties need to be improved, but he should plant them first and use the wasteland. In any case, it is better than nothing. At least the sweet potatoes will not kill anyone. In fact, no one wants to eat them.
