Seeing that the king was not stingy, the officers and soldiers began to sit down casually and prepare for dinner.
The king saw a staff sergeant wolfing down. He thought he hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time. He took his plate and went to his side. He asked, "staff sergeant, haven't you eaten such delicious food for a long time? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Of course not, your majesty. I'm just tired from training today and hungry, so I'm in a hurry to eat." the staff sergeant replied to the king.
"So what do you eat every day except today? Is the food so good as today?" the king continued.
"Your Majesty, your food today is not particularly good. Our food has always been so good," said the staff sergeant calmly.
The king was surprised when he heard the sergeant's answer. He thought that Xu Yue and Meng Zhaoyu knew that they only made the canteen food so good today, just for inspection. Unexpectedly, they didn't eat the best in the canteen today. It was enough to see that Xu Yue and Meng Zhaoyu were not the kind of people who flattered and wouldn't ignore the feelings of the following officers and soldiers in order to please the lawsuit.
On the other hand, it can be seen that Xu Yue and Meng Zhaoyu are very considerate of their subordinates, or they won't let the officers and soldiers praise the food. Xu Yue and Meng Zhaoyu spent their own money to prepare beef and red wine for the officers and soldiers. After all, compared with now, the king's previous military expenditure is too small. The food subsidies for the officers and soldiers are on average personal, and they can barely eat meat once a month, let alone eat meat every day.
Xu Yue and Meng Zhaoyu found this problem when they first took over the two divisions. After all, if the officers and soldiers don't even have enough to eat, how can they have the strength to train? Maybe they can't even pick up their guns. So they discussed it and paid their own money to improve the food for the officers and soldiers. Anyway, the two of them have been working outside these years. This money is certainly nothing for them.
The king smiled, returned to his original position and said to Xu Yue, "it seems that lieutenant general Xu and Meng Zhong have not spent less money during this period. I really blame me for this. I didn't give too much financial expenditure on military before, which caused such serious consequences. Now every country wants to do something to our country J." after that, the king regretted touching his head.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself. After all, your previous king hasn't realized these problems. At this time, you just follow the policies of your previous king and haven't changed anything. Therefore, in this case, the responsibility is not entirely yours. Anyway, these two boys are not short of money and spend money for their own troops Nothing at all. "Ye Chen comforted the king and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you really don't have to pay attention to this little thing. We have carried out so many tasks over the years. We certainly don't lack money. Besides, if soldiers can't even eat well, how can they ask them to improve their combat effectiveness? You say so." Xu Yue also said with a laugh.
The king saw that ye Chen and Xu Yue said so. He could finally relax. The king himself acquiesced that he was indeed an old-fashioned man. He was not particularly flexible. He would only continue to inherit the previous things, but lacked the courage of reform and innovation. If his son hadn't recommended the three men to him, I'm afraid the enemy country would have succeeded in this sneak attack on the border.
While chewing the medium rare steak, Xu Yue thought about how to bring an army in the future. Suddenly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, startling Ye Chen and Meng Zhaoyu. I don't know why Xu Yue showed such a look. Xu Yue looked at their faces, gave them a look and told them they were all right. Ye Chen and Meng Zhaoyu were relieved.
Then he gently touched the king. The king asked him what was the matter. He asked the king to turn his ear. Then he told the king about the letter from the messenger when he was on the battlefield, which surprised the king.
Ye Chen saw something wrong in the king's eyes, so he went to ask Xu Yue what she had just said to the king. Xu Yue told ye Chen what had just happened.
Although Ye Chen was shocked, he still couldn't see any clues from the appearance. Later, ye Chen called Xu Yue out of the canteen, and Meng Zhaoyu followed him out, leaving the king alone on the table thinking about it.
"Xiaoyue, who did you talk to about this?" Ye Chen asked Xu Yue. After all, with a big mouth like Xu Yue, when did she say it.
"Boss, although I usually have a big mouth, I can tell what I can say and what I can't say! Only you, me, Xiaoyu and the king know this. Xiaoyu and I knew it on the battlefield that day. You and the king just knew it." Xu Yue explained to Ye Chen.
"Boss, I remember. Xiaoyue did tell me about it. Later, we were both hospitalized, so we forgot him. Fortunately, Xiaoyue remembered it, or something big would happen." Meng Zhaoyu patted his head and hurriedly said.
"Xiaoyue, is that letter still on you now?" asked Ye Chen.
"No, it's estimated that when I saw Xiaoyu injured, I ran away and lost it. After all, I put it on my body after reading the letter." Xu Yue replied.
"This is good news. After all, it's not on you, and they can't retaliate on you. On the other hand, they may have no time to withdraw the undercover. After all, from the end of the battle to today, it's only a week. All senior officials have been in the Office building. The king ordered that no one should enter or leave the office building during this period, So no one went out, so the undercover had no chance to run out. "Ye Chen thought and said.
"Boss, what should we do now? We can't ignore this undercover." Meng Zhaoyu asked Ye Chen.
"What has the final say haven't met in a long time?" the man must have listened to the king's advice. "Three people, like nothing happened, and returned to the canteen with laughing and talking, the people next to them would only think they had not seen for a long time, but just went out to make a scene.
When the king saw the three of them coming back with a smile, he relaxed his heart as if he had taken a reassurance. When the king wanted to ask Ye Chen, Xu Yue suddenly said, "today's meal in this cooking class is delicious, not as little seasoning as before."
Taking advantage of Xu Yue's speech, ye Chen whispered to the king, "Your Majesty, there are many people in the canteen. Let's go back and talk about it. It's inconvenient to say it here."
The king immediately understood Xu Yue's intention and said, "maybe it's because I'm the king who made the dishes so delicious."
The four stayed at the table for more than half an hour, chatting without a word. They didn't go outside the canteen until most of the officers and soldiers were ready to leave.
"Xiaoyue, Xiaoyu, you two don't live in the army tonight. Find some leaders you trust to manage and tell them that you have gone to handle the handover procedures. You two go to the king's office with me to discuss what to do about it." Ye Chen said to Xu Yue and Meng Zhaoyu.
"I see. Let's arrange it now." after that, Xu Yue and Meng Zhaoyu walked towards the dormitory of their trusted men. It took about fifteen minutes for the two of them to come back.
"Has it been arranged?" asked Ye Chen.
"It's all over, let's go now?" said Xu Yue.
"Let me ask the king." then ye Chen asked the king. After the king agreed, they drove towards the king's office.
After about two hours, he finally arrived at the king's palace. The king asked his men not to follow him anymore. Only Ye Chen, Xu Yue and Meng Zhaoyu followed him to the office.
When he got to the office, ye Chen asked, "Your Majesty, is there a monitor in your office?"
"Why do you ask?" the king looked at Ye Chen with a hoodwinked face. He didn't know what he wanted to do.
"If not, it will be fine. If so, please ask him not to open it while we are talking," Ye Chen replied.
"Why is this?" the king still didn't understand why Ye Chen did this.
"Let me tell you, since the undercover is a senior official, he must have the right to check the surveillance. If he finds out the surveillance, the undercover will know all our conversation for a while, and our future efforts will be in vain." Ye Chen explained to the king in a low voice and looked around, Observe whether someone with ulterior motives is nearby. After observing for some time, ye Chen closes the door of the office.
"That's what happened. You should be careful. I'll call someone to dismantle it now. The monitoring is just for my physical safety, so there should be nothing to see." although the king believed what ye Chen said, he still didn't think anyone would check the monitoring in his office.
"Your Majesty, I'd like to give you a word. As we often say in China, be careful to sail a ship of ten thousand years. You don't need to call your men, the three of us can." as soon as ye Chen finished speaking, Xu Yue and Meng Zhaoyu started, and took down the monitoring in less than two minutes.
"Xiaoyue, Xiaoyu, you two check again to see if there are any things that don't belong here, and remove them together." after that, Xu Yue and Meng Zhaoyu look at each other, understand Ye Chen's meaning, and start looking again.
If you don't know, you'll be surprised. After searching for ten minutes, Xu Yue and Meng Zhaoyu found three monitors and two miniature bombs in the king's office.
The king was silly when he saw these two things, because he really couldn't think when and how the person who put the things came in. After all, every time he went in and out of the palace, a class of soldiers followed him, and there was only one door in the office, which was still in a very hidden place. The king really couldn't think how the "thief" got into his office.
"Your Majesty, you believe it now. You should be careful at all times, otherwise accidents will come at any time." Ye Chen said to the king with a little seriousness.
"Oh, I didn't expect this." the king was really jumped by these things and couldn't stop wiping the sweat from his forehead.
