The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

At this time, a child in simple clothes appeared on the street. He was wearing a worn straw hat, and the slightly wide brim of the hat covered half of his face, making it difficult to see his full appearance. On his back, he was carrying a bamboo basket, which looked heavy.

The child walked briskly through the crowded streets. Finally, he stopped at a relatively quiet wall. Then, he took off the basket on his back and put it on the ground. Then, he squatted down and began to take out colorful and variously shaped candies from the basket and neatly placed them on a piece of white cloth in front of him.

He had practiced street stall business, so he knew how to set up a stall to attract people.

Sure enough, before long, these colorful candies successfully attracted seven or eight children passing by.

They gathered around and stared at the exquisite candies with curiosity, their eyes gleaming with desire. One of the older children was the first to ask, "Hey, little brother, how much do you sell these candies for?"

However, to everyone's surprise, the kid at the stall shook his head and replied, "I only sell these candies, I don't give them away!"

The man asked in surprise: "Are you really going to give away such good candy?"

“Only for the destined one.”

Upon hearing this, the children who were a little reserved at first suddenly became excited and involuntarily moved closer. Another child couldn't wait to ask, "Can you give it to us to try first?"

The kid at the stall smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course you can! But you have to learn a folk song from me first. Once you learn it, everyone can get a handful of candy!"

The children were even more excited now, and they shouted in unison: "Great, great! Then tell us about it quickly. Maybe some of us can already sing the folk song you are talking about."

"The Kingdom of Dalang is doomed. Good ministers were killed, loyal and righteous people were beheaded. The Kingdom of Yan was defeated, Fengqi was beaten. The people suffered, and the soldiers died. King Shuiyong won the support of the people. He built water conservancy projects and river embankments. He rewarded meritorious officials and recruited wise men. The army was strong, and the country was prosperous."

For a handful of candy, several children learned the folk song in a short while, and also brought a group of children to Cheng Youning. When Cheng Youning saw that the candy in his backpack was almost empty, he went to the candy shop and bought another basket to share with everyone.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and Cheng Youning finally came back with his small backpack, panting and red-faced. He had walked too far today, and his two formerly strong and agile calves were now a little cramped, but he still completed the task.

Seeing this, Qiao Rong, who had been waiting for him at the door, hurried forward to take the backpack from Cheng Youning's shoulders. He also took out a handkerchief to wipe Cheng Youning's sweat and asked with concern, "Young Master, are you exhausted?"

Cheng Youning panted, "The journey is too long, and there are no horses. I can only rely on my own two legs to walk all the way there and back."

Qiao Rong complained to him, "Since the journey is so long, why do you still carry a basket of things back? Don't you feel tired?"

"It's tiring, but there are a lot of good things in the city, so I bought some for everyone."

As the master and servant were talking, Sui Dan and Sha Yuejin heard the noise and rushed over. They came to Cheng Youning curiously, their eyes fixed on the backpack. Sui Dan asked, "What delicious food did the young master bring back after such a long journey?"

Cheng Youning blinked and said, "How do you know that I brought delicious food?"

Sha Yuejin couldn't help laughing: "Hey, for a kid like you, what else can you bring besides buying some food?"

I saw Sui Dan couldn't wait to open the lid of the backpack.

Before he finished speaking, Sui Dan had already opened the lid of the backpack and shouted excitedly: "Oh! I said I smelled the roast goose, it's such a big one."

Cheng Youning quickly corrected him: "This is not roast goose, this is wild goose, a wild goose that can fly."

"Dayan, there are actually people selling this kind of thing?" Sui Dan's hand reached directly towards Dayan.

Cheng Youning quickly said, "Share the food, everyone share the food."

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. He watched helplessly as Sui Dan pulled away one of the goose's legs. Fortunately, Cheng Youning reacted quickly and quickly pulled away the other goose's leg. He secretly felt lucky, because if he had been a little slower, this thigh would have fallen into Sha Yuejin's hands.

"Where is my little grandpa?"

"The Emperor and my father are on the lookout tower, watching the enemy camp."

Hearing this, Cheng Youning turned to look at Qiao Rong and ordered, "Go and deliver this goose leg to my grandfather."

Qiao Rong looked hesitant and said softly, "Young Master, are we going to send it over like this? Wouldn't that seem a little ungentlemanly?" As he spoke, he looked at the goose leg in his hand.

Cheng Youning replied nonchalantly, "That's it! What's the point of talking about elegance? If you don't send it over quickly, this roasted goose will be eaten up by Dandan and Sha Laoer! This is sold by a time-honored brand. There are so many people buying it. I waited in line for a long time before I could buy it. You stand there and watch my little grandfather finish eating before coming back."

Qiao Rong nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, young master, I'll go right away. But...if the emperor wants to ask you how things are going, what should I say?"

"Just say that things were done very well."

At this time, Wan Lianxing was standing tall on the high platform, and beside him stood Sha Guanghan and a group of soldiers. They all faced the direction of the enemy's camp, with serious and focused expressions, and were discussing the next response strategy and action plan in a low voice.

Because the spies sent out earlier had sent back news that Ji Yuanqiang and Song Baokang would lead a large army to attack them today. At this time, the enemy camp had already blown the horn, summoning all the soldiers to assemble.

The enemy moved very quickly; it took them a stick of incense to deploy their troops and by this time they were already ready for battle.

Based on the information we have at present, in about half an hour, the other side will beat the war drums, officially declare war and launch an attack on us.

In this tense and solemn atmosphere, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps. It turned out to be Qiao Rong jogging all the way. He ran to the bottom of the platform panting and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the young master has returned."

"Oh? How did it go?" the emperor asked majestically.

"Your Majesty, the young master replied that the matter was handled very well." Qiao Rong replied respectfully.

"Very good! My grandson is still young, but he already knows how to share my worries." Wan Lianxing showed a look of relief on his face and nodded with satisfaction.
