Feng Yibo smiled and waved, and Wang Zhishan followed suit:

"I'm afraid Yibo will be promoted soon, so we're here to congratulate you in advance!"

"Although a large number of Japanese pirates were wiped out this time, it is indeed worthy of celebration."

Feng Yibo, who was still smiling at first, didn't know what he thought when he heard this.

Suddenly his face fell and he sighed:

"But this time the New Army suffered serious losses, I really can't be happy!"

Feng Yibo naturally couldn't tell the truth in front of them even though he was putting on a show.

"More than half of the New Army lost, which is really disappointing!"

Zou Mingdu, the general judge of Ningbo Prefecture who followed, took over the conversation, but said inappropriately:

"But if I can protect the safety of Jiangnan, I will die a worthy death!"

This is not a pleasant thing to say!

Feng Yibo immediately turned cold upon hearing this.

If it weren't for the New Army officers and soldiers, they wouldn't have suffered so many losses.

I have to let him know today.

What does it mean to die well!

"These soldiers are all descendants of Jiangnan. They are rare good men who died to protect their hometown!"

When Zhou Jun heard this, he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and said again:

"Presumably the imperial court will not let them down, and will definitely provide generous compensation! Yibo should not be sad about this all the time."

Zou Mingdu shook his head and did not accept Zhou Jun's attempt to smooth things over. Instead, he said:

"Master Feng is here to do big things, so don't act like a child. How can a soldier not die in a war?"

If it were in private, it would be difficult for a good friend to say this.

But who do you think you are?

Feng Yibo frowned when he heard this and replied:

"If this brother talks like this, those young men might feel uncomfortable if they know it."

In fact, he knew that this person was a fellow countryman of Wang Zhishan.

I met Wang Zhishan twice when he was entertaining guests.

But he didn't say anything.

At this time, I just pretended that I didn't know each other and just said yin and yang.

Wang Zhishan was also a little surprised by Zou Mingdu's performance.

Wouldn't he be so imprudent in his words on weekdays?

It's like someone else's family dies, but you say:

Have a good death!

No one would be happy to hear it, right?

Wang Zhishan was dissatisfied, pulled Zou Mingdu and said seriously:

"Brother benevolent, please stop talking! Otherwise we will no longer be friends!"

Renhou is Zou Mingdu's character.

After all, it was Wang Zhishan who brought it. Zou Mingdu smiled when he heard this.

Finally he stopped talking.

When Feng Yibo saw this, he stopped entangled with him and just brought everyone to the camp.

After chatting with each other, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

Just when Feng Yibo forgot the initial unpleasantness and sent everyone out.

Zou Mingdu suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about the business."

He looked at Feng Yibo and said with a gentle expression:

"Sir Feng, can you please give me a favor and lend me a moment to speak?"

Feng Yibo frowned when he heard this, wondering what trouble he was going to make.

But he also took him away from the crowd.

The two of them walked farther away, and Zou Mingdu covered his mouth with his hands.

But he clearly had a warm smile on his face.

What he said made Feng Yibo feel nervous!

"Feng Shidao, Mr. Zhen, the president of Jinling Provincial Tiren Academy, asked me to bring you a good one."

After hearing this, Feng Yibo thought a lot for a moment.

But on the surface, there is no trace of emotion.

He looked flattered and said with a hint of flattery:

"Oh yo yo? Even Master Zhen was alarmed? It's really an honor for Feng!"

Anyone with a little bit of status in the Jiangnan Zhen family would know about it.

Therefore, at this point, Feng Yibo does not need to act stupid.

"Your Excellency said that he admires you very much and will encourage the gentlemen from Jiangnan to jointly commend you."

Zou Mingdu still had a warm look on his face and glanced at the crowd waiting for him in the distance.

Seeing that they were not paying attention, he whispered again:

"He also said that he is going to recommend you to serve in the Ministry of War."

Feng Yibo immediately showed excitement when he heard this and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Zhen, for your consideration!"

Zou Mingdu obviously didn't believe his lies. He glanced sideways at him and said with a smile:

"Isn't it true that Feng Shi said, 'I only hope that Haibo will be peaceful'?"

The meaning of these words was obviously to mock Feng Yibo.

Do you want to go back before the sea calms down?

Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo looked surprised when he heard this, waved his hand and said:

"Harmful~! If it weren't for the sake of future, who would be willing to risk arrows to fight those damn Japanese pirates?"

As he spoke, he sighed again and said as if recalling:

"Oops! You don't know something, sir. I was recommended by Mu Kun, the commander of the Nanjing camp, and I am alone in the Golden Palace!"

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo was a little excited and said:

"As a small Hanlin editor, I can't refuse at all!"

Zou Mingdu smiled and said with a look of disbelief:

"Didn't Li Jijiu go to the capital at that time?"

Then he added: "Yes, it's Li Butang now!"

"My mentor, his roots are all in the south of the Yangtze River. When he first arrived in the capital, he didn't have a stable foothold. How could he protect me?"

Feng Yibo seemed to have heard some joke, and he suddenly looked resentful.

Then the resentment turned into grievance, and he continued:

"It's pity that I am a good Qingliu Tanhua, but I have to lead troops to fight. In the future, I must not be called a soldier?"

Having said this, he looked lucky again and said:

"Fortunately, I had an idea at that time and recited a poem in the main hall to express my concern for the country and the people."

It seemed that this matter made him very proud, and he changed his face and said:

"Only in this way can people remember me as a clean civil servant!"

Sometimes I feel resentful, sometimes I feel aggrieved.

Sometimes I feel lucky, and sometimes I feel proud.

It's like performing a face change.

But what he said was sincere and in line with common sense.

No one can find fault with it.
