350 Troublemaker (1/2)

By the time they reached the city, the sky had turned dark and Soujin didn't have any interest to quickly interrogate that man. Because of that, they just checked in into one of the best inns and ordered the night meal. Of course, they had to separate the quarreling duo first before they could proceed with anything else.

Compare with the food in the palace, the food that the inn prepared could only be categorized as passable. However, with most of them already used with living as a soldier who only has scarce foods, there was no one complaining, except one…

”How in the world did you manage to eat all of these?” Yan looked towards his friends who ate the food calmly as if they were the weirdest creatures in the world. He had tasted the food, and he couldn't bring them down his throat.

Ming Hui looked towards his brother, ”What is it? Does the emperor found the street food to be so lacking?”

The tone Ming Hui used was mocking, but Yan couldn't find any way to refute the other party. Compared with Ming Hui, Yan almost never got bad treatment in his life. With him being one of the princes, the servants always prepared the best for him. When he became the merchant, the people around him treated him with courtesy. When did he experience abuse if not because of the usual banter with his close friends?

”How could you eat this severely lacking food with delight?” Yan asked.

”I don't find them lacking,” Ming Hui said, ”Did you forget that I often go out as an apprentice doctor to the streets? Besides, with me being such a sickly princess, they won't prepare anything too extravagant for me.”

The only time Ming Hui could eat lavish food would be when he visited the Restaurant Han Yan. In any case, he didn't visit the place as much as the others, so he didn't have many problems with eating ordinary food.

Yan looked towards the others, ”How about them?”

”Emperor, do you think soldiers can eat lavish food every day?” Fan Lanying wore a weird expression. This was the first time she found an emperor as peculiar as this one.

”There is no way this new emperor would know because all he did is chasing after girls and managing his store,” Jun Hua answered Fan Lanying.

”I see.”

”Wait! Those are only rumors!” Yan wanted to explain further, but the two ladies already shot him a look of disbelief. In any case, they didn't find him any better compared with the rumor.

”No, they are not,” Soujin said as he put more food in Jun Hua's plate.

”Soujin….” Yan wished to knock this man out, but the other party just ignored him and put his attention towards his wife. When Yan wanted to complain to Ming Hui, he found the other party already busy attending his wife too.

”If you want to bother someone, it's better to find a wife of your own first,” Jun Zhenxian added fuel to the dark faced Yan.

In the end, the emperor and the old general lashed out in a battle of words. Because the others were too busy, they chose to ignore the two arguing people in the table. Even when the meals were over, these two hadn't made peace with each other.

”This scene reminds me of my grandfather and your grandfather duel,” Soujin rubbed his eyebrows in tiredness. These two clearly wouldn't back down against each other. The old man didn't feel anything wrong in berating a younger person and the younger one didn't feel any shame fighting an old person.
