"Haha, then Elder, you’ll need to eat quite a bit of salt! I’ve always had a big appetite since I was a kid!"

Mu Shuangshuang said half-jokingly.

This made Cheng Dagang’s mood a little better.

Plus, Mu Shuangshuang handed him a roast chicken, which made him feel even happier.

He took the roast chicken and started gnawing on it right in front of Mu Shuangshuang.

"You are the most unique woman I’ve ever met! Seriously, I’ve seen all kinds of women—tall, short, skinny and fat, the delicate types and the shrewish types—but none are like you!"

With a mouthful of chicken, Cheng Dagang started chatting with Mu Shuangshuang.

"Probably because I’m prettier than all of them, which is why you remember me so well?" Mu Shuangshuang shamelessly remarked, nearly choking Cheng Dagang who was eating.

"You’re really thick-skinned!" Cheng Dagang struggled but finally managed to swallow his chicken.

"Thanks for the compliment!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"..."

"By the way, the things we talked about earlier, will you tell the Xing Family kid?" Cheng Dagang asked.

"No, this is between you and me, why should I tell a third person?"

This statement demonstrated Mu Shuangshuang’s attitude, earning a thumbs-up from Cheng Dagang.

"Actually, you shouldn’t be looking for old troops, they’re all old men now, grandfathers, not suitable for the battlefield! And emotionally, they can’t serve this kind of court either!"

Anyone in the know is aware of Xing Ningtian’s situation.

Whether it’s the Emperor in high places in the Capital or the Prime Minister who stands below one but above thousands, even Xing Ningtian’s old troops who retired to farm are aware!

Back then, after Xing Ningtian died, had these people not left on their own, the court wouldn’t have tolerated them!

Plus, it’s been ten years; they’ve lived ten years of peaceful life.

No one should disrupt this peace!

Cheng Dagang struck Mu Shuangshuang as someone who really disliked the current court.

But to Mu Shuangshuang, as long as people have enough to eat and wear, the court’s nature doesn’t matter.

Plus, it’s not only this court that’s acted this way with Xing Ningtian.

In history, how many Emperors didn’t cook the dogs once the rabbits were dead?

Xing Ningtian’s folly was not retreating timely, but a man like him probably has only "death in battle" in his life dictionary, not "retreat," right! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Mu Shuangshuang started admiring Xing Ningtian’s character!

"You can discuss this with Beichen later! I think he wouldn’t force those people either!"

Having a peaceful life is no easy task, Mu Shuangshuang believes that even if Xing Beichen yearns for victory on the battlefield, he wouldn’t be cruel enough to break this peaceful living.

In a short time, the roast chicken was finished.

Cheng Dagang had said all he wanted to Mu Shuangshuang.

When you finally voice something you’ve held back for over ten or twenty years, it actually feels quite relieving.

They prepared to exit the forest and head to the village entrance.

After just a few steps, they saw Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen who had been searching for quite a long time.

Lu Yuanfeng’s eyes were bloodshot, his body emitted a terrifying, fearsome killing aura.

Upon seeing Cheng Dagang, he didn’t say a word and charged with his fists.

This moment, Lu Yuanfeng was more serious than ever.

In an instant, he was entangled with Cheng Dagang.

Cheng Dagang sensed the fighting spirit in Lu Yuanfeng, subconsciously rising to match him.

The two threw punches and kicks at each other, moving rapidly, the sound of fists colliding clearly audible.

Mu Shuangshuang was confused, she turned to Xing Beichen: "What’s going on?"

"Shuangshuang, you... you’re okay!" Xing Beichen asked nervously, panting.

"I’m fine! What’s happening? Why is Fengzi fighting the Elder?" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"That old man, that old man was the village chief; he tricked us, Fengzi came out of the village and didn’t find you, almost went mad, I... I..."

Xing Beichen’s stamina was long gone.

In the village, after fighting for so long, and then expending energy to find Mu Shuangshuang.

Now, he really couldn’t move anymore.

Mu Shuangshuang frowned, Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen were similar, they’d already depleted a lot of energy in one afternoon.

Seeing that they were about to fall behind, she shouted: "Elder, Fengzi, stop this, it’s a misunderstanding!"

The two were fiercely engaged, unwilling to halt.

Mu Shuangshuang called out again: "Elder, if you continue to fight with Fengzi, don’t expect me to make you anything tasty from now on!

And Fengzi, if you continue fighting, I will leave for Qingshan Town right now!"

Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t a fool; she wouldn’t do something stupid like using her own body to block punches.

If someone couldn’t hold back and hit her, it would hurt!

Her words had some effect, slowing down the actions of the two fighting.

But neither wanted to be the first to drop their fists.

The dull sounds of fists meeting continued, Mu Shuangshuang bit her lip and walked straight out of the forest.

Before she left, she signaled to Xing Beichen.

Xing Beichen knowingly shouted: "Shuangshuang is leaving, Shuangshuang is leaving..."

Lu Yuanfeng looked around, and indeed, Shuangshuang wasn’t there.

He quickly withdrew his fists and rushed in the direction Mu Shuangshuang left.

Cheng Dagang suddenly losing his opponent felt a bit empty, he pointed at Xing Beichen and said: "You come practice with me..."

"Elder, I can’t... I..." Xing Beichen just finished saying this when Cheng Dagang charged at him with swinging fists.

Xing Beichen was forced to spar with Cheng Dagang...

Outside the forest, Lu Yuanfeng found Mu Shuangshuang sitting and waiting for him.

"I was worried sick, luckily you’re okay!"

"Fengzi..."

"Fengzi, it was just a misunderstanding earlier, Elder Cheng didn’t take me away, it was me who left; I initially thought there was no sun in the forest, then roasted a chicken for Elder, before planning to find you..."

When Mu Shuangshuang spoke, she seemed like a little wife reporting to her husband.

Obedient with a hint of grievance!

Lu Yuanfeng looked at Mu Shuangshuang: "I know!"
