The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Qiao Rong held the goose leg in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is the roasted goose that the young master brought back from Chaizhou. It's from a time-honored brand. The young master waited in line for a long time before buying it. Let me bring it to you."

At this time, Qiao Rong came forward carefully holding a goose leg, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is the roasted goose that I brought back from Chaizhou. I heard that it is made by a long-established local shop. I took the trouble to queue for a long time before I bought it, so I let me present it to you for your taste."

Wan Lianxing saw that the goose leg was indeed roasted well, with a bright red skin, so he thought it must taste good. However, Wan Lianxing looked at the environment at that time and said hesitantly, "Do you want me to enjoy it here?"

Qiao Rong also felt that it was inappropriate, but he did not dare to disobey the young master's order, so he had to bite the bullet and replied: "Your Majesty, this... is indeed what the young master wanted. Not only that, the young master also specifically instructed that I must watch the emperor eat the wild goose leg with my own eyes before I can return to the palace to report. The young master also said that this thing is not easy to come by, and he waited in line for a long time before he could buy it."

Wan Lianxing looked at the soldiers around him, and then at the goose leg in Qiao Rong's hand. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only say, "There are so many people, but only one goose leg. How can I enjoy it all by myself?"

Wan Lianxing has always been a prominent and highly regarded person. In the past, when he was a noble marquis, he paid great attention to etiquette. But now, he is the king of a country. How can he stand on a high platform, under the scorching sun, surrounded by a group of mighty soldiers, and eat roasted wild geese in public? Such a scene is really a disgrace!

Seeing that Wan Lianxing had no intention of eating the roasted goose, Qiao Rong couldn't help but muttered, "How am I going to report back?"

Hearing this, Wan Lianxing couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, just give this roasted goose to Lao Sha to enjoy. As a general, he will have to lead the troops to meet the enemy in person later, so this goose is most suitable for Lao Sha to eat."

Sha Guanghan touched his chin and said, "Your Majesty, I have never eaten roasted wild goose before, but is it suitable for me to eat it? Besides, this is specially presented to you by your grandson."

Wan Lianxing laughed and waved his hand, saying, "You are wrong! You are his future father-in-law, and he is your son-in-law. It is only right for you to eat what he sends you. Besides, wild geese are the best of birds and have been regarded as spiritual creatures with all five virtues since ancient times. You are the general I begged for, so you should eat wild goose meat. Come, come, I will give you this wild goose leg."

Upon hearing this, Sha Guanghan's face suddenly showed joy, and he quickly clasped his fists and said in thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will respectfully obey your command!" After saying this, he took the wild goose leg without hesitation, took a big bite, and ate it with relish.

Qiao Rong just stood there watching. He couldn't go back to report until the wild goose finished eating. However, Sha Guanghan not only ate with great appetite, but also quickly. Soon, he had eaten a wild goose leg in full view of everyone. He looked as if he was still not satisfied. It was estimated that he would be willing to eat another wild goose leg.

At this moment, Qiao Rong, who was about to turn around and leave, seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, what are the 'Five Constant Virtues'?"

Wan Lianxing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and replied softly: "The so-called Five Constant Virtues refer to benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and trustworthiness. These five are the models of morality."

After hearing this explanation, Qiao Rong understood. He nodded in sudden enlightenment and said to Wan Lianxing respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Qiao Rong has learned from your teachings."

Wan Lianxing waved his hand and said, "Go and report to your young master."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Qiao Rong will take his leave now!" As Cheng Youning's servant, he has been influenced by the emperor and has done a lot of homework. After knowing what the emperor said, he can finally go back and report.

Not long after, Qiao Rong came back from outside and walked into the room quickly. He saw Cheng Youning lying on the bed and resting. Before Qiao Rong could stand firmly on his feet, Cheng Youning sat up impatiently and asked: "Did my grandfather say whether the wild goose was delicious?"

Facing the young master's anxious question, Qiao Rong quickly answered truthfully: "Young Master, the emperor didn't eat the wild goose at all!"

Hearing this, Cheng Youning couldn't help but frowned slightly, looking at Qiao Rong with empty hands and asked: "Grandpa didn't eat it, where is the goose leg?"

Qiao Rong paused for a moment and explained, "It was eaten by the young master's future father-in-law. It was given to him by the emperor. The emperor said that Sha Guanghan is a general and your future father-in-law, so he ate this wild goose!"

After hearing this, Cheng Youning nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "Besides this, did my grandfather say anything else?"

Qiao Rong quickly responded, "Yes, the emperor said that wild geese are the best among birds and are spiritual creatures that possess all five virtues."

After hearing this, Cheng Youning said "Oh" softly, with a hint of disappointment on his face. He grumbled and complained, "So that's all. I know all this."

Qiao Rong seemed to have suddenly remembered something important. A look of vigilance and alertness instantly appeared on his face. He lowered his voice and said to Cheng Youning, "Young Master, I'm afraid something big is going to happen!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Youning's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he quickly asked, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

Qiao Rong took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and replied, "I was just delivering wild geese to the emperor. At that moment, I overheard the emperor mentioning that there would be a war soon."

Cheng Youning widened his eyes and asked suspiciously, "No way? But why is there no movement from our side?"

Qiao Rong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the details, but then added: "I don't know either. I just heard the emperor say that, and I think he can't be wrong! Young Master, how about... let's go home quickly. You know, the young lady didn't want you to come here at all. After all, this is a camp, and there could be a war at any time. At that time, you cried and made a fuss, and insisted on coming here. If the young lady knew that we were provoking a war here, she would be very anxious. Maybe she is angry at home now."

Cheng Youning said nonchalantly, "Isn't the camp meant to be ready for war at any time? Didn't my little grandfather and I live in the military camp before? With my little grandfather around, what is there to be afraid of?"

Qiao Rong shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not agree. He said solemnly: Qiao Rong does not think so, "Young Master, this time is different from the previous attack on the Southern Yan Kingdom!"
