    While Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi were talking inside the tent, a soldier reported outside the tent that there was a Western missionary who wanted to see the general.  Yue Zhongqi looked at Nian Gengyao in surprise, and Nian Gengyao snorted softly from his nose, "Ninth Master's people." Yue Zhongqi's face immediately showed a bit of embarrassment, and then asked in a low voice, "Either  , do you want to avoid your humble position?" Nian Gengyao raised his head, looked at the opening of the tent, waved his hands, and replied casually, "When I go out, I always bump into all kinds of gods, and we have to go and worship next to each other. How about today?  It's easy for someone to come to our door and pay homage to us, so what's there to hide?" Then he said to the outside of the tent, "Invite him to come in."

    When the soldiers brought people into the tent, Nian Gengyao just sat down and refused to get up. He glanced at the person in front of him and laughed, "It looks like this time, otherwise you will say that you are an outsider and meddle in the affairs of the court."  What are you doing?" Yue Zhongqi met the missionary for the first time. After hearing Nian Gengyao's meaningless words and not knowing the past relationship at all, Yue Zhongqi couldn't help but become more curious and looked at the missionary carefully.  Once upon a time - he was wearing a dark blue cotton-padded satin gown, an ermine mantle over it, and a fake braid on the back of his head, and even took off the holy cross that often hung on his chest.  Nothing about him was in formal missionary attire, except for his face and eyes, which could tell that he was an authentic Westerner.

    The person who came was none other than Mu Jingyuan. He saw that Nian Gengyao was a very confidential person. Now he saw someone standing in the tent, and he didn't know his identity. He couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Are you busy at the moment?"  Nian Gengyao stood up leisurely, followed his gaze, glanced at Yue Zhongqi, raised his hands and said casually, "Oh, this is my nephew, it's okay." Mu Jingyuan didn't recognize Yue Zhongqi either, he only knew  Nian Gengyao's military discipline was strict. Seeing that the two of them behaved in a normal manner, he guessed that it was not official business. Now that he heard what Nian Gengyao said, he felt relieved and put the red lacquered brocade box in his hand.  He handed it to Yue Zhongqi with both hands, and then said, "I brought a small gift from Governor Ying Nian."

    Yue Zhongqi got Nian Gengyao's approval and opened the brocade box to take a look. However, she couldn't help suppressing a secret smile - it turned out to be a box full of small purses, with about thirty or forty pieces, none of which were the same.  Nian Gengyao glanced at Yue Zhongqi's hand, walked leisurely up to Mu Jing and said with a smile, "You have really put in the effort this time. I went to Jiangnan to work as a scholar, and this looked familiar - a good job, isn't it?"  Shu embroidery and brocade, um, should it be something from the south?" Mu Jingyuan stood to one side, looking at Nian Gengyao's face, he just said that he was happy and satisfied, and said hurriedly, "Exactly, I didn't know Governor Nian  I just love this, otherwise I would have brought it with me last time. I used to be friends with my brother (Nian Xiyao), and he loved our Western objects the most, such as clocks, wine, and arithmetic rulers. I asked my friends to make them  But these exquisite works of art with oriental charm are beyond my ability. They were given to me by noble people."

    Nian Gengyao naturally knew who the noble person he was talking about was, and he sneered secretly in his heart, but refused to answer his question, "What was the name of that person you asked me to take care of when you came back?"

    "What picture¡ª¡ª"

    "Oh, yes, what is the plan? I asked him before. He is not under my control at the moment. You have to go find General Yanxin."

    "This I thought I could ask the two generals to take care of him -"

    "Then he has so much face!"

    ¡°Governor Nian, it¡¯s like this¡ª¡ª¡±

    "Then I don't quite understand. You are a Westerner and you should honor your God. How come you are seeking benefits for our officials?" Nian Gengyao couldn't help but interrupted Mu Jingyuan and asked.  "Oh, He Tu and I are both favored by the Nine Kings, and we have a good personal relationship, so we help each other." Although Mu Jingyuan's words in Chinese are good, in the end, they cannot be compared to each other.  He finally managed to catch a chance to mention Yunzhen, but he missed the opportunity and hurriedly added, "In the past few years since I have been in China, I have met many princes in Beijing. Only Corporal Jiuwang Lixian, I finally  Respect him. I think he is also a very lucky person in appearance. He will definitely be the crown prince in the future, and the emperor also thinks highly of him"

    Nian Gengyao couldn't help but find it funny to see his frustrated look. He couldn't bear it when he saw that he kept talking. He wanted to teach him to go back, but seeing his funny look, he decided to tease him again.  He interrupted, "Why does the Emperor value Jiu Beizi so much? Then the newspaper I just received in the morning said that the Emperor has scolded Jiu Beizi again recently"

    "This, I have never seen -" Mu Jingyuan was a little panicked and didn't know how to reply to him.  He came to see Nian Gengyao twice, both at the behest of He Tu. He Tu also taught him those words of praise for Yin Zhen. Even he himself only heard about Yin Zhen's good deeds many times.  After a long time, even he believed it himself, but if you really want to talk about it, Mu Jingyuan had never met Yinzhen several times.

    "Of course you can't see it." Nian Gengyao immediately took the words and looked at him with a half-smile.He glanced at it and said, "How can you see the imperial newspaper?"

    "I learned about the emperor's importance in Beijing¡ª¡ª"

    "You can hear it everywhere. You are here as a young man, so you don't know. Today it is said that the emperor rewarded the third prince with a set of calligraphy treasures. Tomorrow it is said that the emperor went to the fourth prince's house for dinner, and the queen also  It is said that the emperor asked the fifth prince to hold the flag. But I think this is not the news in the palace?"

    "This -" Mu Jingyuan couldn't say a word as he expected. He was silent for a while and then said, "I think maybe the emperor's scolding Jiubeizi was just a temporary anger of the emperor, which is not enough" He couldn't convince Nian Geng at all.  Yao, not to mention He Tu asked him to publicize what Yinzhen expected of Nian Gengyao. In desperation, he shrugged his shoulders and even made his gestures flat, which was extremely helpless.

    Nian Gengyao glanced at Yue Zhongqi and chuckled, "Why do these words sound so awkward?" As he spoke, Nian Gengyao lightly dusted the edge of his sleeves, looked at Mu Jingyuan and said, "The Emperor is not a mean and ungrateful master.  The minister is very lenient in his teachings, and he is the first to warn the princes of the clan. If there was nothing wrong, he would not be guilty of running against me like this."

    "Governor Nian¡ª¡ª" "Okay, I'll accept this box of gifts. It's hard for you to run left and right to the front of the army like this. Don't bother with it anymore. He Tu is not here with me. From now on, I will  I'll watch from afar for you, just don't let him get into trouble and get into trouble." Seeing that Mu Jingyuan was unwilling to say more, Nian Gengyao made a gesture towards Yue Zhongqi, and Yue Zhongqi understood, so he put on a solemn face and looked towards Mu Jingyuan  Mu Jingyuan made a gesture of seeing off the guest and did not allow him to say more. He shrugged anxiously, "Is this okay?" "Come here, see this gentleman off!" For a moment, he saw Yue Zhongqi staring at him without changing his expression.  Looking at him, he loudly called the soldiers to come in. Mu Jingyuan looked at this and that, shook his head, and left the tent helplessly.
