Xie Yao frowned and thought about what her grandfather said, but she didn't understand.
What grandfather said should not be as simple as the literal meaning. Otherwise, if Emperor Zhaochu cares about King Pingxi's condition, she wouldn't even have to care about Emperor Zhaochu's reaction?
Seeing Xie Yao's confused look, the old general didn't say much, touched his stomach and ordered: "Go and prepare roasted chicken and fish. I'm hungry."
"Yes, granddaughter will go now." Xie Yao nodded obediently and went to prepare.
…
Dong Aoguo, Wanren Mountain.
Fu Mo Valley is the only way to enter Wanren Mountain. It is named because of the steep terrain on the edge, which is suitable for ambush from high places.
At this moment, a fierce and fierce battle was going on in the Demon-Conquering Valley, with corpses everywhere.
At the intersection of Fu Mo Valley and Wanren Mountain, there was a raging fire, making it impossible to pass.
In the Demon-Conquering Valley, a group of soldiers from the Wanqi Kingdom were blocked from retreating and were fighting to the death.
"Come here, shoot arrows for me, general! Keep Xie Lian and Xie Wenwu here, and never let them go back!" A general with a beard shouted angrily.
The originally violent rain of arrows now became like a flood, sweeping over the sky and covering the earth.
Almost all the remaining soldiers of Wanqi Kingdom were shield soldiers. They all raised their shields and resisted with all their strength.
Within the protective net composed of shields, all the soldiers, with Xie Lian and Xie Wenwu at the center, guarded them fiercely.
"Father, you must hold on. My son will lead you out of the siege soon! And the reinforcements should have arrived, and we will definitely be able to rush out!" Xie Wenwu was covered in blood, and even his face was stained with blood, and his eyes were firm.
Bloodthirsty.
There was an arrow stuck in Xie Lian's chest. The arrow was no longer visible and blood was flowing gurglingly.
He shook his head slowly, his face was as pale as paper due to excessive blood loss, "I can't hold on much longer. Reinforcements are still coming, and we can't wait any longer. If you don't let me go, both of us, father and son, will die here today! Let's
They protect you, fight to the death, and maybe they can get out."
Xie Wenwu's eyes turned red instantly and he roared angrily, "No! We will live together and die together! My son will never leave you alone!"
Xie Lian's face was stern, he coughed weakly, and the blood flow in his chest became even fiercer for a moment.
Seeing this, Xie Wenwu quickly held down his hands and said in an urgent voice, "Father!"
Xie Lian's eyes were as hard as steel, and even the sweetness in his throat was suppressed, "I have been fighting for my father for decades and killed countless enemies. Do you have to let me die in such a shameful way as suicide?
Are you willing to take them out?"
Xie Wenwu's eyes were red, and his voice was full of unwillingness and intolerance, "Father!"
"Let's go!" Xie Lian shouted angrily.
Xie Wenwu gritted his teeth, took a deep look, turned around decisively, and shed tears on the spot.
"Remember, you must live! Your sister is still waiting in the capital, you can't let her down! You have to protect her!" Xie Lian used the last strength of his body and shouted towards Xie Wenwu.
The moment I shouted, I burst into tears, but my eyes were filled with hope.
Xie Wenwu must escape!
"Yes, father! My son will keep this in mind!" Xie Wenwu did not dare to look back, fearing that if he did, he would be unable to help saving his father and would not be able to leave.
Behind him, his father's voice was no longer heard. What was heard was a few 'pop, pop' sounds, which stung Xie Wenwu's eardrums as if they had burst, and caused pain throughout his limbs and bones.
In the end, he couldn't hold it back and looked back. His eyes were instantly red and red, and he wanted to bite his steel teeth into pieces.
"Young General!" When the soldier next to him saw Xie Wenwu rushing back, he immediately grabbed hold of him, "Young General! Don't let the old general die in vain!"
Xie Wenwu was trembling all over, his eyes were fixed on his father who was completely lifeless on the ground not far away, the grief and anger in his eyes were overwhelming!
In the end, he had to suppress all his emotions and turned around angrily, "Let's go and follow my general and rush out! One day, my general will definitely wash this place with blood!"
"Kill!!!" There were only a few dozen people around, but he shouted with the momentum of a thousand people.
High up, General Qiu-beard sneered disdainfully when he saw this, "A mere few dozen people actually tried to break out of the general's siege of thousands of people. It's simply a wishful thinking! Come on, shoot for me! Just like his father, shoot Xie Wenwu as well."
sieve!"
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rain of arrows in the sky became thicker and thicker, covering the sky and the sun, as if the sun had been blocked out.
…
Prince Han's Mansion.
Xie Yao came back from the General's Mansion, always feeling depressed and a little irritable.
After sitting for a while, she decided to cook a few delicious dishes to stimulate her taste buds and relieve her mood.
"Zi Qing, go prepare some ingredients, I'm going to cook." Xie Yao called Zi Qing and gave instructions.
Zi Qing's eyes lit up, the princess was finally ready to cook, "Just ask the princess."
Xie Yao directly wrote down all the ingredients needed and handed them to Zi Qing, "Just follow the preparations above."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Ziqing took the note and walked away like the wind.
Xie Yao was not idle and went directly to the small kitchen to prepare.
Seeing that it was already dinner time, she didn't want to eat too late.
In a short time, Ziqing got all the ingredients back, a lot of them.
"Princess, when I was getting the ingredients, I saw the food the chef had given to the prince. It was so rich!" Ziqing sighed.
Xie Yao didn't care, "He is a prince, so naturally he will have a rich meal."
Pick out Haihong from the ingredients, clean it, and boil it in boiling water.
She is going to make a mussel and shrimp soup.
Zi Qing was a little curious, "Princess, I've rarely seen you eat food from the sea before, but I didn't expect you to do it."
Xie Yao smiled slightly and responded indifferently, "I have been doing it a long time ago. Today I accidentally remembered it and tried to do it."
Ziqing nodded frequently, watching the princess's skillful movements from the side, convinced.
The operation of cooking Haihong was not complicated, so Xie Yao let Zi Qing watch it while she cut some ingredients that would be used later.
After just a few cuts, he suddenly pulled his hand away with a hiss and accidentally cut his hand.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Ziqing heard the movement and asked immediately.
"It's okay. Just stare and don't move, don't make Haihong grow old." Xie Yao warned.
The ring was warm, and a band-aid appeared in her hand. She put it on herself directly, but frowned slightly.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she cut her hand.
Because cutting things has become a subconscious action for her, without using her brain at all.
What happened to her? Was it because she was a little uneasy because of the depression before, so she cut her hand?
"Princess, it's ready." Ziqing suddenly spoke, interrupting her thoughts.
"Put it out." Xie Yao said and walked over.
When boiling Haihong, there won't be any aroma coming out, but when Haihong is wrapped in flour and eggs and fried, it will have a flavor.
Especially when the fried Haihong is put into the boiled shrimp soup, the delicious smell rushes into the nostrils and reaches the brain nerves of the person.
Ziqing smelled it, her stomach suddenly rumbled, and her face turned red.
Xie Yao glanced at it and chuckled, "Wait a while, there is another dish, eat it when it's ready."
"Yeah." Ziqing glanced at the pot again, and excitedly went to prepare the ingredients for the next dish.
Xie Yao took a little soup with a spoon, tasted it, and nodded slightly.
Pretty much the same as what she used to do.
Although the seasonings here are not that rich, the ingredients are delicious.
In the future, she can also cook more things from the sea and give them to her grandfather to taste. Then her grandfather will definitely remember them in his heart and ask her to cook them every time she goes there.
"The princess cooks by herself again?" Chu Han's voice came from outside, with some appreciation.
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows and kept moving her hands, "How does the prince know that it is me who cooks?"
"I have something to say. Your cooking skills are indeed great. No one else in the house can make such a delicious dish except you." Chu Han walked up to him and took a look at the pot, "This soup is good."
