Chapter 13: Money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat!

Ning Chen followed Eunuch Quan to the last box. As soon as he entered the door, he found that besides Tianxuan, there was also an old man who was missing a leg. Although Ning Chen met him for the first time, he immediately guessed the identity of the other party, General Chen. "Uncle, see you again?" Ning Chen stepped forward and bowed in salute. Then he solemnly saluted Old General Chen, "Little citizen Lanxing, I have met Old General Chen!" Although it was his first time meeting him, Ning Chen had been a soldier, so he had special respect for this veteran general who had spent his entire life in the military. "Are you Blue Star?" Old General Chen was a little excited. He looked Ning Chen up and down, and then frowned: "It's cold, why are you wearing such thin clothes?" Ning Chen smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to explain in just one word!"

Seeing that Ning Chen didn't want to say more, General Chen didn't ask further questions, but asked curiously: "How do you know my identity? Have you met him before?" "This is my first time to meet General Chen, but I have heard about General Chen's heroic deeds since I was a child, and the admiration in my heart is like a surging river." Ning Chen's face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat, and he slapped her in the face with a fierce flattery. This is Old General Chen, and even His Majesty treats him with great courtesy. If you can hug him, there will be many benefits. Old General Chen was very pleased with Ning Chen's flattery, and burst into hearty laughter, full of energy. "I would also like to thank you for your poem. A hero comes from a young age. It's amazing that someone at such an age can write such a masterpiece!" General Chen had a very good impression of Ning Chen and was generous in his praise. Ning Chen said humbly: "Old General Chen is so complimentary. I don't deserve it. Comparing me to you is like a firefly to a bright moon." "Hahaha... This boy has such a sweet mouth! And he is neither humble nor arrogant in front of me. If I meet you when I am young, I will definitely take you to the battlefield." Ning Chen hurriedly said: "Actually, the dream of a commoner since childhood is to wear a military uniform, go out on the field to kill the enemy, and win glory for the country... For this reason, I have studied military books and studied the art of war." Ning Chen didn't lie. He missed the days of fighting the enemy side by side with his comrades. "Have you ever studied the art of war?" Emperor Xuan was a little surprised. Ning Chen said modestly: "To be honest, I only started enlightenment when I was twelve years old. I am very thirsty for knowledge and study hard day and night... I only occasionally study the art of war. I can only say that I have a rough understanding of it." "To be honest, my little tricks are not worth mentioning in front of General Chen." General Chen asked subconsciously: "How old are you this year?" Ning Chen bowed slightly and said, "I'll be sixteen in a few months!" Emperor Xuan and others were shocked. Emperor Xuan couldn't help but said: "You are still less than sixteen years old, that is to say, you have only been studying for three years... and you can write such a masterpiece in three years? How did you do it?"

Ning Chen said with some embarrassment: "Maybe I am the so-called unparalleled talent?" The corners of the mouths of Emperor Xuan and Old General Chen twitched slightly. "You kid, you are so immodest!" Ning Chen smiled and said: "To be too modest is hypocrisy. I am only good at poetry...Uncle, Old General Chen, can you buy two poems? It will be cheaper for you." Ning Chen felt like a little girl selling matches...just to avoid being cold and hungry. It seems that every world is the same, money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat. Emperor Xuan waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, you just said that you also have some knowledge of the art of war... Then I have to test you to see if you are bragging? If you say it well, I won't treat you badly." He wanted to see if Ning Chen would surprise him in other ways besides poetry. Ning Chen's eyes lit up slightly and he said with a smile: "Uncle...are you making things difficult for me?" "What, are you scared?" "It's not that I'm afraid...if what I say is wrong, just listen to it and don't affect our business." Emperor Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. Was he worried that he wouldn't buy his poems? But what happened to this kid? It's freezing cold and you're wearing such thin clothes? When General Chen asked just now, the boy had an angry and bitter look on his face. It seemed like something must have happened to him? Looks like I need to have someone check it out later. "Blue Star, recently the cavalry of the Tuoluo Kingdom have repeatedly harassed our Daxuan border and robbed the people... Although we have sent troops to garrison, the Tuoluo Kingdom makes a living as nomads. Their horses are very fast and come and go without a trace. No trace." "So, by the time my Daxuan soldiers get the news and arrive, Tuoluo Kingdom's troops have already withdrawn... Do you have any idea?" Ning Chen shook his head. Tianxuan was a little disappointed, "Is there no way?" "It's not that there is no way, but it can't be said...Uncle, this is government affairs, and those who make irresponsible remarks about government affairs will be beheaded." Tianxuan was startled and said with a smile: "Speak confidently and boldly, General Chen is here, what are you afraid of?" Old General Chen also smiled and said: "If you have any ideas, just tell me, I promise you will be fine!" Ning Chen hesitated for a moment. The fact that Tianxuan could be with General Chen showed that he had a high status... It seemed that he was indeed King Fu. Prince Fu and General Chen vouched for him, so it should be okay to discuss government affairs. "Then what I said?" Tianxuan nodded, "Speak confidently and boldly." Ning Chen held out three fingers and said, "I don't know much about the situation at the border. I can only think of three countermeasures... If I don't say it well, just take it for granted." Tianxuan and General Chen looked at each other, shocked... I don't understand, but they can think of three countermeasures?

"Don't be so secretive, just tell me." Emperor Xuan urged. Ning Chen nodded and asked, "Do you have pen, ink, paper and inkstone?" Emperor Xuan was slightly startled, and immediately asked the sissy to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone and hand them to Ning Chen. After grinding the ink, I filled up my pen. Ning Chen was lying on the table, writing quickly. After a while, he put down his pen and handed the written countermeasures to Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan took it and took a look, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately handed the paper in his hand to General Chen. "Okay, okay...good strategy!" After General Chen finished reading, he said "Hello" three times in a row and clapped his thighs excitedly. Ning Chen was really worried that he would destroy his only good leg. "These three methods are actually just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause... The real method still depends on the sharpness of our Daxuan soldiers. Even if the Tuoluo Kingdom cannot be destroyed, at least the Tuoluo Kingdom must be beaten painfully. Only by being afraid can this situation be completely eliminated.” Emperor Xuan nodded slightly and looked at Ning Chen with admiration. He was suddenly very happy to bring General Chen here today. If he didn't bring General Chen here, he wouldn't be able to discover Ning Chen's military talents. What Ning Chen didn't know was that this month, his poem became popular... It could be said that it became popular all over the city. Everyone is looking for this young man named Lanxing, including General Chen. But a month has passed and no one has seen Blue Star. General Chen couldn't find Lan Xing, so he pestered Emperor Xuan every day. The old man used crutches every day, entering the palace at sunrise and leaving the palace at sunset. Emperor Xuan was annoyed, so he came with General Chen... In fact, they came several times, but they couldn't see Ning Chen every time. Fortunately, they met Ning Chen this time. Ning Chen used the pseudonym Blue Star, surely he didn't want people to know who he was? Although he knew Ning Chen's identity, he couldn't send someone directly to Ning's mansion to find him.
