Chapter 898 How to find all the things that dogs won’t eat

"Why are you making such a fuss? If you keep making any more noise, will you go mining? Believe it or not!"

At this time, a man about 40 years old appeared at the door of the dungeon. He was the honest and honest gatekeeper Lao Geng mentioned in King Jing's letter.

Prince Jing would never have thought that he would be caught by this middle-aged man who looked honest and honest.

This is simply the failure of his life.

"Old Geng, since you have nothing to do, why don't you come and talk to me?"

Prince Jing is now able to put down his figure, and he doesn't seem to hold any grudge against Lao Geng for arresting him. He treats Lao Geng with the same attitude as he would any ordinary brother.

For more than a month, Lao Geng has been taking care of his small dungeon. Naturally, only Lao Geng can chat with him.

"What are you talking about? I think you are too idle. Why don't I let you go out to mine?"

Even though he said this, Lao Geng still sat down outside the dungeon, ready to chat with him.

"Damn it, you are just a person with a hard mouth and a soft heart!"

Prince Jing laughed, leaned over and said, "By the way, since you already knew that I was here to find out the news, why did you tell me the real news? Aren't you afraid that I would spread the news?"

He was talking about what Lao Geng had said before about a mine on the mountain. It was because he knew this news that he couldn't wait to write a letter to He Jiuniang, and then he couldn't wait to come in to find out, but he was captured alive.

"What kind of real news is this? Our lord is very powerful and has already planned to fight. This is no longer a secret. We will know it sooner or later. Besides, if I don't give you some benefits, how can you be caught so quickly?"

Lao Geng sneered and looked at Prince Jing like he was a fool.

Prince Jing felt that he was offended, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. Maybe it was because he had been offended a lot recently and was used to it.

"Why do you think I was deceived by your honest and honest appearance in the first place?"

Prince Jing sighed and continued: "I don't know when my people will find this place. What a sin."

Lao Geng glanced at him and thought to himself, this guy really dares to speak.

However, Lao Geng also put down some precautions and said with a smile: "You kid, don't even think about it! If our place was so easy to find, it would be impossible to develop for more than 20 years! Besides, even if we find it, it will be okay. This mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. , and besides, we have soldiers and weapons, so we are really not afraid of you!"

"But to be honest, you have been arrested for so long, and your men didn't even find you here. You are so cowardly!"

As he said that, Lao Geng showed a proud look on his face, and he even looked forward to King Jing's people coming here to try out their new weapons.

Prince Jing's face instantly turned ugly. These people were too arrogant.

However, he also has rampant capital and has been developing secretly for more than 20 years. The weapons reserve is beyond his imagination.

Thinking back to the time when I was in the army, the soldiers' weapons were chipped or even rusty, but they never had the means to replace them with new ones. However, these people had enough weapons and were worried that they would not have the opportunity to use them.He was so angry that he secretly gritted his teeth. He also hated himself for not noticing anything unusual here for so long since he came to the border. Furthermore, they were acting unscrupulously on the border, and they must be colluding with the local officials. It would not be an easy task to rectify it. .

Now Dongting is watching with eager eyes, and King Xun has been restless.

Prince Jing couldn't help but think, if he was the one who sat on the throne, how would he solve such a problem?
Thinking about it, there was no good solution. Sure enough, it was the right choice for him to give up the fight for the position and come to the border.

"Old Geng, you have been in the mountains all year round, so you can't go down easily? There is nothing good in the mountains. It's not easy to eat these things every day for decades, isn't it?"

He eased his mood and continued chatting with Lao Geng.

Speaking of food, Lao Geng became interested and said: "We poor people cannot eat and drink as well as you princes and nobles, but we don't expect anything extravagantly, as long as we can fill our stomachs! My lord said, wait a minute. When we arrived in the capital, we achieved great success, and we were treated to delicious food and drinks every day! Hahaha, when the time comes, if we have a few more beautiful concubines, all these years of hard work will be worth it!"

In Lao Geng's view, this counterattack is determined to win. If the imperial court is so weak, how can it be compared with them?
Furthermore, my lord has been in the capital for so long, and the court knows nothing. Hasn’t he been manipulated by them all the time?
"Oh, what you think is quite beautiful."

Prince Jing sighed and said: "I don't think about such long-term things. I only think about when I can eat Lu Hei Duck. I haven't eaten it for more than a month, but I am so hungry!"

Lao Geng was a little unhappy when his thoughts about the future were interrupted, but he still caught the key point of his words and asked: "What Lu Hei Ya? What is that?"

Seeing him take the bait, Prince Jing chuckled and explained: "It's a secret duck meat. It's delicious. You can smell it from a long way away. It's fragrant, spicy and very exciting! This Lu Hei duck is the most interesting. What’s wrong is that only the leftovers like duck heads, duck necks and duck feet are delicious, but the real meat is not that flavorful!”

"Hey? That's amazing! You princes and nobles really know how to eat, so how can you do all these things that dogs won't eat?"

Lao Geng had a sarcastic look on his face, obviously not believing it.

"You really can't believe it! That recipe was developed by a friend of mine. Seasonings are very scarce. Even if you have the recipe, you may not be able to make it. So my friend knew that I came to this place where nothing matters. , they prepared a lot of seasoning packets for me, so that I can often eat delicious food only found in the capital in a place like this. It’s just a pity..."

Halfway through his words, he shook his head regretfully.

Lao Geng immediately became anxious: "What's the pity?"

King Jing glanced at him leisurely: "Of course it's a pity that I haven't eaten it for more than a month! My friend just sent someone to deliver a cart of seasoning bags some time ago, and they haven't been touched much!"

After saying that, he sighed again: "To be honest, I really admire you. It's not easy to eat those tasteless things day after day."

Lao Geng didn't think it was anything at first, but when he said that, he felt bad for a moment.

Although they have always thought that it would be nice to wait until they reach the capital, where they can enjoy popular food, drink spicy food, and hug each other, but when will they achieve great success?
Or, does he still have life before he achieves great things?

Why can't you enjoy it now?
"Tell me, kid, where is your seasoning bag?"

Across the wooden fence, Lao Geng grabbed his collar and spoke in a very irritable tone.

"It's just in my tent! I'm so precious that I wouldn't want to put it anywhere else. But why are you asking? You don't want to rob it, do you? Don't think about it. My tent is heavily guarded. Don't do it for You'll pay for it in one bite."
