The meal was not very sumptuous, including a bowl of fried bacon, a bowl of roasted tofu, a bowl of egg drop soup and a large bowl of white rice.
Qin Xiao thought about it carefully, he really hadn't had a good meal these days. Seeing these home-cooked dishes, his appetite was really whetted. He sat down and picked up his rice bowl. Suddenly something occurred to him and he looked up at Musk
Yue, seeing She Yue also looking at her, their eyes matched, She Yue looked away very naturally, and her eyes fell on the map again.
"Princess doesn't want to eat?"
"I've eaten." She Yue said calmly, "I thought of the Taihu Navy, so I asked you to come over and talk about it. I happen to have some leftovers, so I'll finish my meal before leaving."
Qin Xiao thought to himself that this meal didn't look like leftovers at all.
"If you don't want to eat, go and defend the city." She Yue was very calm and waved her hand.
Qin Xiao thought that he would be a fool if he didn't eat, so he was not polite. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of bacon, and put it into his mouth. She Yue squinted her eyes and secretly looked at Qin Xiao's expression. When she saw Qin Xiao put the bacon into his mouth,
A look of anticipation immediately appeared in her beautiful eyes, but she saw Qin Xiao spit out the bacon in one gulp and said rudely: "Yun is dead, did you put all the salt in Shuning City into it? Not only is it salty?
, the bacon is obviously not cooked through, it tastes like a stone, princess, did you eat this just now?"
He looked at She Yue and saw She Yue looking at him with a strange look. He thought that the princess was so flattering and invited him to eat. No matter how bad the taste was, he still couldn't offend the princess. Knowing that he had made a mistake, he stretched out his chopsticks to eat.
He put a piece of tofu into his mouth, bit it a few times, and shook his head.
"What? Tofu is also like stone?" She Yue's tone was obviously full of gunpowder.
"No, no." Qin Xiao said immediately: "This tofu is still very soft when cooked." The princess's expression just softened, and Qin Xiao continued: "It seems that there is no salt, but it is better than nothing." Look.
Xiang Princess said: "Princess, don't blame County Magistrate Dong. He probably doesn't have high requirements for food, so the county government just hired someone to cook. To be honest, Lord Dong's luck is really bad.
There are hundreds of cooks out there, and any one of them would be a hundred times more skilled than this person. Mr. Dong just found the worst cook. Leave this matter to me. Your Majesty the Princess, how can you eat like this?
Food? I’ll ask someone to find a good cook right away, and I’ll change the cook no matter what.”
She Yue stared at Qin Xiao and asked with a sneer: "You mean this food is unpalatable?"
"If you throw this bacon to the dogs, they probably won't even eat it." Qin Xiao frowned and said, "It's really hard to choke. But if it's just to fill her stomach and the tofu can barely be eaten, the princess shouldn't blame the cook.
The cook doesn't know how to cook at all, and I don't know how he got into the county government office." He took out an oil paper bag from his arms, opened it, and said: "Earlier, the people in the city sent a lot of food to the city.
, I also left an oil cake to eat at midnight, it tastes really good, princess, do you want to try it?" He kindly handed over the oil cake.
She Yue clenched her teeth and her beautiful eyes were on fire, but she still suppressed her anger: "Master Qin, the military situation is urgent. Since you find these meals difficult to swallow, you can leave now and go to defend the city." Lift up.
Hand, pointing toward the door.
Qin Xiao thought to himself that he was still too honest. Although the princess's treat was not delicious, he should not have said it directly. This obviously made the princess a little unhappy.
He didn't say much, so he put the oil cake on the table and said, "I'll go first, then." He pointed at the oil cake and said, "Leave the oil cake for the princess to try!"
He stepped out and suddenly realized something. He turned around, first glanced at the food on the table, and then looked at She Yue. Seeing She Yue staring at him coldly, this made Mr. Xiao Qin's back feel hairy and he smiled awkwardly.
, cautiously said: "Princess, this meal...?"
"Get out of here!" She Yue scolded.
Qin Xiao shivered, quickened his pace and left in a hurry.
She Yue walked to the table angrily, picked up the chopsticks used by Qin Xiao, put a piece of bacon into her mouth, took a small bite, frowned, spit it out, and shouted: "Lu Gan, what are you doing here?"
Come in, palace!"
A figure hurried in from outside and knelt on the ground: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"Come here!" She Yue waved to Lu Gan.
Lu Gan saw that She Yue was smiling but not smiling. He had been with the princess for many years and knew the princess's temperament quite well. This expression seemed kind to others, but when Lu Gan saw this half-smiling expression, his heart went straight.
He sank down and got up. After getting over his fear, he managed a smile and said, "Princess, what...what's wrong?"
"Didn't you say that this bacon is the most delicious delicacy you have ever tasted?" The princess picked up the fried bacon and handed it over, "Come, you have been working very hard recently, and I reward you with this bowl of bacon. Now you are in front of me.
, eat it one bite at a time, if there is one piece left, I will want your head immediately."
Lu Gan took the bacon, and the smile on his face that was always smiling was uglier than crying: "Princess, this slave has just eaten...!"
She Yue's pretty face turned cold. Lu Gan didn't dare to say anything more, so he picked up a piece of bacon and put it into his mouth.
"Qin Xiao has made great achievements this time, and I still rely on him to defend the city, so I cooked two dishes myself to win his heart." She Yue patiently explained why she cooked in person: "
You and he are both men and have similar tastes, so I let you taste it. How dare you deceive me and say that these two dishes are delicious and make me lose face. Do you think you should die?"
"Princess, I didn't expect Lord Qin to dare to tell the truth." Lu Gan smiled bitterly and said, "Princess, didn't you tell him that you personally cooked these two dishes?"
"Why should I tell him?" She Yue became angrier as she thought about it: "If I told him, wouldn't I lose even more face?"
Lu Gan said: "That's it. Lord Qin didn't know that this was the princess's hard work. Princess, if he knew that the princess cooked it herself, he would definitely eat these two dishes."
"Get out!" She Yue said angrily.
If Lu Gan was granted amnesty, he turned around and ran away. Before he could go out, She Yue said, "Stand outside the door and finish eating the bacon before leaving."
Qin Xiao was also uneasy on the way to the city.
At this time, he was already sure that the princess must have cooked those two dishes herself, which was why the princess had such a big reaction when he complained.
How could he have imagined that the majestic princess could actually cook?
This golden princess was pampered and had no experience in cooking before. I don’t know what the fault was, but she actually cooked for herself for the first time. This is simply unbelievable.
Could it be that he roasted rabbit meat for her during his escape, so the princess wanted to repay her in a small way?
She is no longer on the run. Princess Tang is really not easy to offend. Today, she has degraded She Yue's craftsmanship to a complete mess. If She Yue is angry, she might even have to give her little shoes to wear.
How careless.
You must know that it is the princess's kind intention. It is really a stone, so you have to chew it slowly.
As soon as they climbed to the top of the city, they saw the soldiers guarding the city lying on the battlements and looking north. They faintly heard shouts of killing, and felt a chill in their hearts. When they saw Chen Xi was also beside the battlements, they stepped forward and asked: "
The rebels are going to attack the city?" I was very surprised. The rebels now have no ability to attack the city and can only besiege it. Does General Youshen really want his soldiers to come and die?
"Lord Qin, where are you looking?" Chen Xi pointed to the north, "The cry of killing just came from the rebel camp. It seems that someone attacked the rebel camp at night."
It was already late at night, and most of the rebels had fallen asleep. However, Liu Tuzhang could not sleep at night after seeing off General You Shen.
When he heard the shouting of killing coming from the camp, he rushed out of the tent and shouted: "What's going on?"
"It seems... there seems to be a night attack by officers and soldiers." The people on the side couldn't figure out the situation for a while. They only heard a burst of shouting from the west of the camp, and a little firelight, like stars.
At this time, on the west side of the camp, a group of cavalry pierced the camp like daggers. Almost everyone had a torch. After rushing into the camp, without saying a word, they threw the torch towards the tent. It was May, the weather was warm,
The torch fell on the tent and immediately caught fire.
In just the blink of an eye, dozens of tents were already ablaze.
The cavalry attacked at night, and the rebel soldiers were caught off guard. They were in chaos for a while. At this time, they had no morale to resist at all, and they just wanted to escape. After the cavalry threw the torch, they immediately drew their sabers. The horses were galloping. As long as they saw
The rebel soldiers slashed and killed without hesitation.
All of a sudden, the camp was ablaze with flames, and the soldiers were shouting and making a mess.
These cavalrymen obviously had no intention of fighting. After burning dozens of tents and killing and injuring hundreds of people, they immediately withdrew from the rebel camp and galloped westward.
When the cavalry withdrew, their formation was a little scattered at first, but they soon gathered into a long dragon, running westward for dozens of miles without stopping. When they reached a forest, the cavalry slowed down.
The first person reined in his horse, stopped, turned over and dismounted, and the cavalry behind him also dismounted one after another.
The sound of horse hooves outside alarmed the people in the forest, and soon a group of people came out of the forest to greet them. The first person was wearing an official robe, but the official robe was already slovenly, but it was Dali Temple who was working hard. When he saw
The leader rode over quickly and asked, "Commander Jiang, how is the situation?"
The leading general is Jiang Xiaochun, the commander of the inner treasury.
"Everything went well." Jiang Xiaochun led the horse into the woods and said with a smile: "The rebels are all a mob and vulnerable. We burned dozens of their tents, killed some rebels, and then withdrew immediately. At least
The rebels will never dare to sleep again tonight."
A person behind Feixin smiled and said: "Commander Jiang, from now on the rebels will be terrified when they see your cavalry. I have repeatedly asked to follow you, but you have always refused. I also asked once that you must take me with you next time you attack."
This man has a stocky figure and a pleasant smile, but he is exactly the same as a fat fish.
"You belong to Mr. Qin. If something goes wrong, I can't explain it to Mr. Qin. Moreover, our troops are too small to confront the rebels head-on. We can only harass them from time to time to exhaust them.
This can also reduce the pressure on Shuning City." Jiang Xiaochun smiled and said: "It is also very important for you to bring people here to protect Master Fei and others, so don't underestimate it."
