Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

The duel between Mo Feng and Yan Qing was of course just the beginning to liven up the atmosphere. The next part was the highlight of the welcoming banquet. Half of the restaurants in Luofu were closed, and they were fully responsible for the banquet supply. The last time this happened was probably decades ago. After all, great victories don't happen every year.

"This jar of Hundred Flowers Wine has been treasured by this general for a long time. Mo Feng, you must at least have a drink today." Jing Yuan brought a jar of old wine. This Hundred Flowers Wine has a history. It should have been in Jing Yuan's wine cellar for nearly a hundred years. "Fu Qing, don't you want a drink too?"

"I don't like wine." Fu Xuan shook his head. "It's so choking, I don't know what's good to drink."

"Fu Qing, you don't understand. The flavor of this wine is much better than tea. Do you really want to try it?" Jing Yuan said indifferently.

"I don't want to drink." Fu Xuan responded.

Jing Yuan filled the cup in front of Mo Feng: "Don't go home until you are drunk."

“Qingque…save me…” Mo Feng pulled Qingque’s elbow.

"Accept your fate." Qingque whispered, "General Jingyuan is like this."

"Is it appropriate for me to drink something so strong for the first time?" Mo Feng said with a wry smile. He thought Jing Yuan would take care of him and replace it with some wine with a lower alcohol content. This hundred-year-old wine... cough cough.

"It's not strong, it's been hundreds of years, there's not much alcohol left. I won't make it difficult if you don't want to drink it, it's just a pity that such good wine is gone." Jing Yuan drank first as a sign of respect, "When I was not a general, I especially liked to drink this kind of wine, it's refreshing. Drink a glass before going to the battlefield, forget your worries, kill the enemy, it's refreshing."

"Haha, with your current condition, I'm afraid you've forgotten how to hold a sword. I really don't know how the previous sword master could have taught a disciple like you." Fu Xuan didn't forget to mock while drinking Jade Dew Tea. Ever since Jing Yuan stopped her from working, she has been holding a grudge against him.

When she was able to work officially, it was Jing Yuan who invited her out of retirement three times. Seeing Jing Yuan still made her feel a little unhappy. Even though she knew he was thinking about her health, she still felt unhappy.

"I'm not good at using a sword. Hey, this thing really depends on talent." Jing Yuan waved his hand, "Even if she was blind to find a traitor like me. Fortunately, Yan Qing inherited my mantle, it's worth it."

Mo Feng knew the story of the five heroes on the cloud, Jing Yuan, Ying Xing, Dan Feng, Bai Heng, and Jing Liu. Jing Yuan and Jing Liu were master and apprentice, but now things have changed.

Mo Feng took a sip of the Hundred Flowers Wine.

Shit... so hot... so painful. What a sin...

"Let me tell you, the wine doesn't taste good..." Fu Xuan said with a smile.

"Ah, if you can say such good wine is not tasty, the other generals will definitely say it is a waste of resources. The last time I made a bet with General Youwu, it was with such good wine, don't you think?" Jing Yuan said, drinking the wine in the glass. "Don't you taste the lingering sweetness?"

Mo Feng shook his head honestly. Sweet? It was more like bitter. Could it be that his tongue was damaged?

"If you don't like to drink, then don't drink. Come, eat some food. This is a classic delicacy of Luofu." Jing Yuan was very open-minded and took another sip of wine.

"General, drink less..." Yan Qing held his head and smiled bitterly, "Miss Bai Lu said you can't drink too much."

"Two cups is too much? I used to drink bottles of wine." Jing Yuan said with a smile, "Mo Feng doesn't drink, but you do. Don't you think the wine tastes good?"

"General..." Yan Qing had nothing to say and took the wine glass.

"By the way, Mr. Fu, I have proposed this to the Marshal. The Marshal's opinion is to let you be the acting general first and lead the Yunqi Army temporarily for a period of time. When the time is right, you will be a formal general, and Fu Hua will come to confer the title to you." Jing Yuan said.

I thought Fu Xuan would be very happy, or at least he would say something sarcastic: "Oh? Now you know how to give up your position and let others take over."

But what he got was another sentence: "I am no longer interested in your position as general, you can keep it."

This was something Fu Xuan could actually say. Jing Yuan almost thought that Fu Xuan had been possessed by another spirit, but then he thought again and seemed to have figured something out. He laughed out loud, "So, it seems like I have to continue to be a general and can't retire..."

Mo Feng was also puzzled by the answer given by Fu Xuan.

Isn't being a general Fu Xuan's obsession? I heard that every time he went to Jing Yuan to discuss an issue, he would mention when to give her the position of general once every three times...

Why doesn't she want to be a general now?

"Things have really changed. It's bad enough that the Hundred Flowers Wine is wasted, but no one wants General Luofu, which is even more of a waste!" Jing Yuan shook his head and drank another glass.

"General, you really can't drink anymore." Yan Qing snatched the wine glass from Jing Yuan.

"Ah... Even you are like this." Jing Yuan shook his head without comment.

……

The banquet ended late.

Generally speaking, such a grand event is a good time for the Medicine King Secret to take action, but after the rectification in the past few years and the innovation of the Cloud Riders, the difficulty of the Secret to take action has greatly increased. What's more, they all have a plan to kill with one move, so they need to lie dormant and wait for Huanlong to come before they can deal a devastating blow to Luofu.

Jing Yuan was certainly not defenseless. The Ten Kings Division was on high alert in the streets and residential areas, and all the judges were on high alert. Not all the Yunqi were participating in the banquet, so security measures were very strict.

There is no need for the Medicine King's secret teachings to ruin their great cause just to cause a little damage.

"Are you drunk with just this little bit of wine?" Fu Xuan said with his arms folded in the Ruomu Pavilion in Changletian.

In the end, Mo Feng drank a glass of wine to show his kindness to Cheng Quanjingyuan, which made him dizzy, but he was still conscious.

"You are not qualified to criticize me since you haven't drunk alcohol." Mo Feng said with a smile. His tone was not respectful, not because he didn't respect the Grand Secretary, but because he subconsciously regarded Fu Xuan as a friend, not a bureaucrat. Even though he was now the chief lieutenant, in name, the head of the Grand Secretary was still a higher official than him.

"It's not like I haven't drunk before, I just don't like it. Sometimes at family banquets, we have to deal with dignitaries or make friends with outside guests, so wine is indispensable. I really don't know how this culture has been passed down." Fu Xuan said.

"Come to think of it, time flies." Mo Feng looked at the stars in the distance and felt like he was chatting with Fu Xuan in this pavilion just a few days ago.

"What is a moment to you is just a moment to me. It's getting late, go back and rest. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Fu Xuan said, neither happy nor sad. But those who are familiar with her will know that there is a kind of loneliness in her eyes.

"Let me ask you something, Fu Xuan." Mo Feng asked.

"Are you asking me why I don't want to be a general?" Fu Xuan had expected this. "I just figured out some things. Being a general is no longer important to me."

"That's right. You are a fortune teller. Nothing in the world can be hidden from you." Mo Feng said with a faint smile.

"Your words now are nothing more than a mockery to me." Fu Xuan shook his head and slowly left. "I have observed that Luofu will undergo a huge change in recent years. Be prepared. This is a sign of great misfortune, and it's not just an ordinary one."

……

When Fu Xuan was forced into seclusion by Jing Yuan, naturally no one came to visit him. In fact, Fu Xuan's door was completely sealed, and he refused to receive any visitors.

But the only people Fu Xuan contacted were Mo Feng and Jing Yuan.

What era is it now? Do people have to meet face to face? Although Jing Yuan also contacted Fu Xuan through his mobile phone to ask if she was okay, the only response he got was "Get lost".

But just this one word made Jing Yuan feel relieved. As long as Fu Qing was okay, he seemed to be in good spirits.

Fu Xuan knew very well who saved her life, but for some reason she was afraid to go to Mo Feng to thank him, and she didn't do that until Mo Feng left for the expedition. Maybe it was because she was arrogant, or some other reason, it didn't matter.

After thinking about it, I still feel it is necessary to say thank you.

Otherwise I won’t be able to get over this hurdle in my heart.

"Thank you." She sent a short message to Mo Feng.

As Luofu Taibu, isn't it easy to know Mo Feng's contact information? If that doesn't work, divination can also find out.

"You're welcome. Are you feeling well?" Mo Feng replied immediately. Wasn't he on an expedition? How could he still be in the mood to stare at his phone?

"Very good. I owe you a favor."

"Can you please use this favor now? Just let me call you by your name. If not, forget it."

“Is the name important?”

"very important."

"You can do that in private, but if you call me by my name in public, I will never forgive you."

"I suddenly felt that my life was perfect and that it would be worth dying for."

"You really don't know how to say auspicious words. How can a man going to war say this? You are not allowed to die so easily."

"Haha."
