"Are you calling me a pig?" Zhan Beihan clicked his tongue and blocked her chopsticks with his chopsticks.
"Take it back."
"I won't eat it. I'll eat it myself!"
"I don't eat fat meat."
"...So you just give it to me?"
Xiao Lingyue stared at him, "Why are you so sinister?"
Zhan Beihan suddenly laughed and said, "Isn't this how you can get along well with me?"
Xiao Lingyue was startled.
"I used to go out on errands and stay in the homes of ordinary people."
Zhan Beihan changed the topic and spoke in a low and gentle voice, "That family was not rich. They only had two rooms. The couple were over fifty and had only one son. They were soldiers in their early years and later died on the border. The couple
They had no children to support them in old age, so they kept each other company and lived a miserable life."
Xiao Lingyue didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, but she was fascinated by it.
"What happened next?" she asked curiously.
"I hid my identity, stayed at the couple's house, and gave them some money for their stay."
Zhan Beihan said in a low voice: "The money is not much, but for that couple, it may be a windfall. They declined it for a long time before accepting it, for fear of treating me badly.
The man took the silver, went to the hunter, bought a piece of meat, and made a meal to entertain the king.
There were only two dishes in that meal, a bowl of meat and a bowl of salted dried radish."
Xiao Lingyue asked: "How many years ago was this?"
Zhan Beihan said: "Ten years ago."
Xiao Lingyue understood immediately.
Ten years ago, there was no peace among the seven countries. Although no particularly serious war broke out, there were frequent frictions and small battles at the borders of each country, and all countries were recruiting troops.
In less than a year, the conflict between Northern Qin and Southern Yan intensified, and the war escalated.
With Wei State sandwiched between the two countries as the main battlefield, Northern Qin and Southern Yan launched war against Wei State. War broke out in the south and north at the same time. Eastern Qi and Western Chu were also ready to make a move. Weak countries such as Zhao and South Korea
Being in constant panic all day long.
The world is in chaos.
At that time, Zhan Beihan was the commander-in-chief of Northern Qin.
"Wei Shaorong" is Nan Yan's rising young general, both of them are on the battlefield.
It's just one south and one north, and there aren't many intersections.
That war lasted for nearly two years and ended with the Wei State being destroyed and half of the land invaded by Northern Qin and Southern Yan each.
Not long after the "Wei Shaorong" squadron returned to the court, they fell into infighting in the Southern Yan Dynasty. Then Murong Ye exposed her identity, and she was forced to hand over her military power and break with Murong Ye.
A lot has changed in two years.
In the end, "Wei Shaorong" died in Nanyan and was reborn in the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, giving birth to Xiao Lingyue today.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
But when it comes to the war that turned the Seven Kingdoms into the Six Kingdoms, Xiao Lingyue still remembers it fresh.
"So, the son of the couple you met also died in the war against Wei?"
Xiao Lingyue murmured, "At that time, you were only fifteen or sixteen years old, right?"
Zhan Beihan went to the front line at the age of thirteen.
When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was already the commander-in-chief of one party and had many military exploits.
"No." Zhan Beihan said calmly, "Their sons did not survive the Wei War and died on the border less than a year after joining the army. When I met them, the Wei War had not yet broken out."
"Then you tell me this...?"
Xiao Lingyue was puzzled.
"I stayed at the couple's house. When I had dinner in the evening, I saw that the man kept picking up vegetables for his wife, while he only ate salted radish."
Zhan Beihan looked at her bowl and said calmly, "The meat he bought was not good. It was all so fatty that his wife was reluctant to eat it. The couple gave in to each other, but in the end no one ate it."
