Chapter 1441 - 1436: Someone Has Fallen for You
"General, although I am not good-looking, I can cook decently! As long as you trust me, I assure you that by the time I leave, you’ll miss my cooking!"
Mu Shuangshuang tried to reassure Wen Nantian.
With her words, Wen Nantian remembered the dishes he ate last night.
"Alright, you may give it a try!"
Wen Nantian’s words meant that Mu Shuangshuang could stay.
She was secretly overjoyed, not even minding anymore how Wen Nantian and Wen Xiaoya looked down on her appearance!
Mu Shuangshuang consoled herself by thinking, adults don’t hold grudges against petty issues.
"As for Chef Lu’s place...?" Wen Nantian asked with concern.
"We’re all men, so naturally I will stay with my cousin! Besides, I have many secret recipes that I cannot share with outsiders!"
Mu Shuangshuang took the opportunity and said to Wen Nantian.
Wen Xiaoya instinctively frowned; she didn’t really want this ugly person to stay with Lu Yuanfeng.
Especially with those pimples on his face, who knows if they’re contagious.
Overall, Wen Xiaoya was quite dissatisfied with Mu Shuangshuang, who was disguised as Lu Daniu.
This dissatisfaction seemed inherent.
It was there the moment she saw Mu Shuangshuang.
"General, I am willing to room with Daniu!" Lu Yuanfeng said.
"Alright then, off you go! Chef Lu needs to prepare food tonight. If there’s anything you need, you can ask the kitchen manager for help!"
After all, Wen Nantian was a general and couldn’t always meet with a nobody.
To others, Mu Shuangshuang being able to meet Wen Nantian once was already a great privilege!
With orders, Lu Yuanfeng led Mu Shuangshuang away.
Wen Xiaoya gave Wen Nantian a look, then followed them out of the tent.
Once they were gone, the smile on Wen Nantian’s face quickly faded.
"Did you find out who tried to assassinate me last night?"
Wen Nantian asked the Deputy General who was still injured.
"I investigated all night and also contacted spies far away in Da Wei. They suggested that the person last night might have been Da Wei’s Second Prince, Wei Feng.
But nothing is certain since Wei Feng has disappeared for years, and no one knows where he has gone!"
The Wei family, known for their valor and bravery.
If Xing Ningtian hadn’t repelled Da Wei back then, who knows if the Da Ning Dynasty could have held its territory.
Over the years, Wen Nantian trained his soldiers day and night, all for the moment of need.
The events of last night were a tremendous humiliation for Wen Nantian.
A single person breached his camp, injured his Deputy General, and managed to retreat safely.
Just thinking about this made Wen Nantian furious!
"Is there any movement from Xing City? Have those buying medicine for injuries been thoroughly investigated?" Wen Nantian asked.
"We’ve arrested many, mostly civilians! A few were vagrants, but none had martial arts skills!"
The Deputy General answered truthfully.
"Alright, since he came once without success, he will certainly come again! We just need to wait."
Wen Nantian said to the Deputy General.
"Additionally, starting tomorrow, arrange for Fengzi to train at the drill ground, and also have Zhao Ping train together with him!"
"Zhao Ping? Why? General, didn’t you have Zhao Ping removed from the training camp?"
During a past tournament, when Wen Nantian was about to declare Lu Yuanfeng’s victory, Zhao Ping deliberately shot an arrow at Lu Yuanfeng.
Although he won, he lost his dignity, which was why Wen Nantian banished Zhao Ping!
"Yes, Zhao Ping’s character is flawed, but his abilities are good. If he can rejoin the training camp, he might be of great use in the future!"
Wen Nantian had already made his own plans.
No matter what, he intended to follow his own intentions.
"Alright, I will arrange it immediately! But General, should we warn Zhao Ping to restrain his temper?"
"Restrain? No need! Rest assured, since I dare to use Zhao Ping, I naturally have a way to manage him!
Just do as I say, and furthermore, keep a close watch on Da Wei’s movements. Report any changes immediately!"
"Your orders, General!"
The Deputy General took Wen Nantian’s orders and left the tent, heading straight for the kitchen.
He first informed the kitchen staff about Lu Yuanfeng’s departure and instructed them on allowing Mu Shuangshuang to use the kitchen and ingredients freely.
Zheng Damao, as one of the managers, agreed to this.
At this moment, he didn’t know that Mu Shuangshuang was the one who sold him mung bean sprouts every day.
As for Mu Shuangshuang, originally, Lu Yuanfeng wanted to show her around the camp vicinity.
But it was cancelled; Wen Xiaoya followed Lu Yuanfeng constantly, making it inconvenient for the two of them to do anything.
Until Lu Yuanfeng returned to his abode.
He addressed Wen Xiaoya, "Miss Wen, this is my residence. Please, Miss, stay back!"
Lu Yuanfeng’s intention to send her away was very obvious.
"I’m not here for you; I’m here for him!" Wen Xiaoya pointed at Mu Shuangshuang with righteous indignation.
"Looking for me, what for? Miss Wen wants to be my matchmaker?" Mu Shuangshuang joked with Wen Xiaoya.
She had heard this name countless times from Lu Yuanfeng!
Not that he missed Wen Xiaoya particularly.
But this woman had a way of clinging, always finding ways to appear before Lu Yuanfeng.
When Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t around it was fine, but with her presence, Wen Xiaoya’s persistence irritated her!
"Matchmaker? You?" Wen Xiaoya shuddered.
Mu Shuangshuang’s face was frightful at just one glance.
Who would want to face that for a lifetime?
"Am I that bad? At the very least, I’m the Great General’s cook! But Miss Wen should remember, the army is always a man’s world, and women will always be women!"
To make Wen Xiaoya back off, Mu Shuangshuang even insulted herself.
But she underestimated Wen Xiaoya’s persistence!
"You look down on women? Let me tell you, women can be kings and conquerors, going to the battlefield just like men!"
Wen Xiaoya fumed at Mu Shuangshuang.
"If you didn’t have some skills, I wouldn’t have asked my father to hire you!"
"Then I apologize; I’m already here!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s words were quite provoking.
Ordinarily, she wouldn’t confront Wen Xiaoya.
But she followed Lu Yuanfeng to his place, and when he asked them to leave, she didn’t; that was crossing the line!
"You... you don’t get too smug, if what you make isn’t good, I’ll still arrange for your dismissal, just wait and see!"
The young lady left these words and walked off in anger.
Leaving Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng to look at each other.
"This little girl seems interested in you!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Shuangshuang, don’t joke. There’s nothing between us; I swear, I only have you in my heart!"
Lu Yuanfeng was instantly flustered upon hearing her words.
Hurriedly trying to distance himself from Wen Xiaoya.
"I believe you, but this little girl clearly has feelings for you. It might be trouble in the future!"
