Chapter 19: Sneering
Yue Qianming was tingling when he heard this remark, but he was silent and smiled. And Chun Yuhou on the side directly counterattacked: "Director Xiang, do you really welcome us by putting up such a big battle to welcome us, or are you afraid that our hundreds of people will make trouble for you." ”
"Of course, it's to welcome you, if the formation is small, I'm afraid that Qianming God will mistakenly think that my Southern Military Division doesn't understand the way of hospitality. ”
"Really, it seems that my Yue Qianming has a good reputation in your Xia Geng clan! ”
"Soldiers welcome Qianming God to come to our Southern Military Division. ”
I saw the soldiers in white armor on both sides of the camp gate, and immediately set up the spears and spears in their hands. That Xiang Xiu smiled hypocritically and said "please".
Yue Qianming then stepped onto the passage where the spear was erected, and the spear seemed to be in danger of falling at any time. Xiang Xiu looked at Yue Qianming and walked forward without any hesitation. Immediately, he also followed, he knew that this little trick was not difficult for Yue Qianming, but he just wanted to see Yue Qianming's reaction.
It's just that he didn't expect that the civil officials of the Zhao Xin clan who accompanied him were also fearless, and without any hesitation, they followed Yue Qianming into the passage formed by the soldiers, as if the murderous aura on the hundred battles of the Xia Geng clan soldiers who were carefully selected by him did not exist.
After everyone walked through this passage filled with murderous aura and blood, that Xiang Xiu said again: "Qianming Shenjun, it's getting late, I've already prepared wine and food, let's have a meal first, and then take you to the rest camp, okay?"
"No, the journey is tiring, we want to rest early. Director Xiang should also be busy with official business, how can we keep bothering. Just ask Director Xiang to arrange for someone to take us to the prepared resting place. ”
Seeing what Xiang Xiu wanted to say more, Yue Qianming said again: "Tomorrow, I will invite Director Xiang to come to my mission for a reunion, after all, Director Xiang has just put on such a big battle, and welcoming someone from my Yue can be regarded as giving me someone in Yue's face." I have no choice but to ask Director Xiang to taste the delicacies of my Zhao Xin clan. ”
Xiang Xiu saw that Yue Qianming had set him up first, and he didn't want to say anything, so he sent someone to take Yue Qianming and the others to the prepared rest camp. The rest camp prepared for the mission was located in the northeast corner of the military department, and it was not very far from Xiang Xiu's camp. This area was obviously newly cleared, and the surrounding area was even more empty, except for Xiang Xiu's camp tent, which was a kilometer away, there were no other garrisons around.
Yue Qianming has been fighting horses for many years, and he is very accustomed to this kind of military camp atmosphere, not to mention the more than 100 members of the martial arts team. It's just that these officials of the Ministry of Rites have never encountered this situation in the first half of their lives, although it is not cold in the tent, but their beds are low, and the rest of the daily necessities are simple and abnormal, and there is a hint of rancid smell in the air.
However, the camp tent that Xiang Xiu arranged for Yue Qianming was a bit luxurious. Although the bed is generally low, it is covered with the skin mattress of the demon beast, and there is a huge night pearl in the camp tent, and an incense burner is placed in the center of the camp tent, and the fragrance of the incense burner fills the entire camp tent. After Yue Qianming saw the residences of those officials of the Ministry of Rites, he was not angry, he knew what kind of heart this Xiu'an had and wanted to divide him and these civil officials.
The discord meter, although it is not very clever, is very useful, after all, the human heart is unpredictable. Even if Yue Qianming gave up this tent, those with sinister intentions would definitely keep it in mind and take it out at the right time to tell the story. To put it mildly, Yue Qianming's private life must be extravagant, and even the people of the enemy country know about it. To put it mildly, Yue Qianming is suspected of colluding with the enemy country. Otherwise, why did the officials of the Xia Geng clan treat him so specially.
Yue Qianming just sneered, this arrangement like this is indeed quite disgusting, but Yue Qianming doesn't care. After seeing the living environment of these Ministry of Rites officials, Yue Qianming thought that his camp was big enough, and it was more than enough to live in these dozen or so Ministry of Rites officials, so he asked them all to move to their own camp tents, and he lived in the camp next door to the Que Feng team.
When those civil officials of the Ministry of Rites saw the furnishings in Yue Qianming's tent, some of them did have malicious thoughts in their hearts. After seeing this arrangement, Chun Yuhou also instantly understood Na Xiu's sinister intentions, and after looking around at his subordinate officials. Chun Yu shouted loudly: "This is the plan of the Xiu to make a discord, if you really believe it, then you have really fallen for him! You should have all heard of the person of the Qianming God!" Then he stared at one of the dozen or so subordinate officials with his eyes and asked meaningfully: "Zheng Kangcheng, Master Zheng, what do you think?"
"I think what the adults said is right, this is obviously the divisive plan of the Xia Geng clan, and we still have some understanding of the character of the Qianming Divine General. Then Zheng Kangcheng also stared at Chun Yuhou and said unhurriedly: "I just don't know if this matter will think the same if it reaches the ears of the king and King Jing." ”
"How could the king and the king believe in such a clumsy scheme. ”
"Then the lord should not object to me reporting this matter, right? I believe that the king and King Jing have their own judgment. ”
"You...... Random. ”
Zheng Kangcheng no longer paid attention to Chun Yuhou and the officials close to Yue Qianming and others who were glaring at him, and began to pack up the futon by himself, and lay directly on the bed and pretended to sleep. The rest of the officials deliberately distanced themselves from the man, and the nearest was also about five meters away from him. This Zheng Kangcheng looked indifferent, and kept secretly scolding these stupid pigs in his heart, not looking at who is the most powerful in the court today.
A soldier came and called these officials of the Ministry of Rites to dine. During the banquet, Chun Yuhou told Yue Qianming about this, and Yue Qianming just smiled faintly and said: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, but it's really a little disgusting." ”
"Then we really want to invite that Xiang Xiu to dinner tomorrow?"
"Please, why not, as long as he doesn't feel ashamed. ”
"Qianming Shenjun, how do you say this?"
"On the territory of his Xia Geng clan, can you eat the food of my Zhao Xin clan?"
"The hustle and bustle, the Qianming God will be high, why didn't I think of it. What if Xiang Xiu really has the cheekiness to accept our banquet?"
"If he dares to come, then just treat him to a good meal. However, I guess Xiang Xiu should understand my intentions by now. I estimated that tomorrow this Xiu will receive a reply from the Xia Geng Clan's State Affairs Hall. I believe that even if he comes tomorrow, he will come with the customs clearance documents that have been stamped. In this way, we will not be able to stay in this southern military division for a moment longer, and it will be even more impossible to invite him to dinner. But since I said that I would invite him to eat the food of my Zhao Xin clan, then he has to eat it if he doesn't eat it. Otherwise, it will be my Yue Qian's words and untrustworthy. ”
"Qianming Shenjun, don't use force! This meeting is imminent, don't cause more trouble. ”
"Hehe, how can you use force, you will know tomorrow. ”
After everyone had eaten dinner, they were indeed a little tired, Yue Qianming arranged the defense, checked the congratulatory gifts he carried, and after making sure that nothing went wrong, he returned to the camp tent, thinking about how to deal with that Xiang Xiu tomorrow. Today, I was disgusted by that Xiang Xiu's tricks, but it provoked the bad water in Yue Qianming's stomach, remembered the prank he played on Zhao Lingwu when he was young, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but think of Wei Chi Zhongming, who often drummed up food, and then thought of a dish, which was just suitable for him to make tomorrow Xiang Xiu eat.
The next day, Yue Qian got up early tomorrow, and after completing his practice, he had breakfast with everyone, and then sent someone to invite Xiang Xiu to come over for dinner at noon. I got into the kitchen and started busy. Until noon, Xiang Xiu was not seen coming to the appointment, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were all curious about how the famous Qianming God would cook and invite Xiang Xiu to dinner. Then Zheng Kangcheng recorded a small account for Yue Qianming again.
Chun Yuhou saw that Xiang Xiu really did not come to the appointment as Yue Qianming guessed, and secretly felt a little pity, but he still didn't want Xiang Xiu to come in his heart, so as not to cause extraneous branches. He didn't understand why Yue Qianming, who had always put the overall situation first, had to fight with that Xiang Xiu.
And Yue Qianming's approach was not completely meaningless, he wanted to explore the bottom line of Xiang Xiu's patience. This man is pretending to disguise himself, and if he is torn off his disguise in public, it will not be able to provoke him. The depth of this person's scheming is terrifying, and he must be better at hibernating, waiting for opportunities. is like a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, as long as you relax your vigilance a little, he will seize the opportunity to kill with one blow. And a commander with such a character will inevitably integrate his own personality characteristics into his strategic planning when formulating a combat strategy.
It was not until noon had passed for a long time, and everyone in the mission had already eaten, that Xiang Xiu was late, holding a document in his hand, and came to the camp of the Zhao Xin Clan's mission with a smile. Still smiled before speaking: "Haha! Qianming Shenjun, I'm sorry to be late, I have delayed the food due to my busy official business, and I have also disappointed the good intentions of Qianming Shenjiang, please bear with me." ”
Seeing Yue Qianming coming out of an ordinary barracks, Xiang Xiu's expression did not change, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why doesn't Qianming God rest in the tent I specially prepared for you, but what's wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that Yue is used to being closer to my brother, so he can rest assured. ”
"That's good, that's good, I thought there was something wrong with what I prepared, and it would make the Qianming God unhappy. ”
"What do you have in your hand?"
"Qianming God will have good eyesight, I can tell you that this is a customs clearance paperwork. Originally, I wanted to stay with General Qianming for a few more days and ask General Qianming for advice on how to conduct military exercises, but I did not expect to receive a reply from the Political Affairs Hall in the morning that the delegation had been allowed to enter Beijing. ”
"It's okay, it's not too late to go. ”
"Then I have to send off the Qianming God General. ”
"Just what I wanted. ”
That Xiang Xiu left the mission camp with a smile on his face, but he looked down on Yue Qianming a little, and sneered in his heart that Yue Qianming was nothing more than that. After Xiang Xiu left the camp, Yue Qianming immediately ordered everyone to pack their bags and prepare to rush to Qingling City, the capital of the Xia Geng clan.
When Yue Qianming and others came to the gate of the camp, Xiang Xiu had already gathered all the generals of the Southern Military Division, waiting for the arrival of Yue Qianming and others. ”
"Oh! Since it is a delicacy cooked by the god of Qianming himself, Xiang must want to taste it. ”
Yue Qianming immediately took a lump of mud that had been prepared long ago from Zhao Meng's hand and handed it to Xiang Xiu in everyone's puzzled eyes. That Xiang Xiu looked at the mud lump in Yue Qianming's hand and still asked with a smile: "Could it be that this is the delicacy of the Zhao Xin clan that the Qianming God will say, I didn't expect that the Zhao Xin clan, which has always regarded itself as a treasure of things, actually regarded the mud lumps as a delicacy, it is really unimaginable, or is the Qianming God deliberately teasing Xiang?"
"How dare you, no matter how rude my Yue Qianming is, I still know a thing or two about these basic etiquette. There is another thing in this piece of mud, and its production method comes from my friend Yu Chi Zhongming, I believe everyone should know this person's habit of not eating food!"
Xiang Xiu nodded, staring curiously at the lump of mud in Yue Qianming's hand. Yue Qianming immediately smashed the lump of mud with his palm, and suddenly the aroma was overflowing, only to see Yue Qianming peel it open and wrap it with a layer of leaves taken from nowhere, revealing a roasted golden roast chicken, and this roast chicken that had been warmed in the ashes of the stove was still steaming at this time. Although the material of this roast chicken is ordinary, the smell of it is still mixed with the fragrance of elixir, which makes people's index fingers move.
Yue Qianming said with a smile: "Thanks to Director Xiang's care, I prepared such a comfortable camp for Yue, and I can only use this to roast chicken to express my gratitude." ”
"Qianming God is serious, but Xiang is disrespectful. ”
"It should. Director Xiang, please enjoy it while it's hot!"
Yue Qianming saw Xiang Xiu carefully take a bite of the roast chicken, and said with a smile: "This dish is called Feihuang Tengda, and it was led by Wei Chi!
Xiang Xiu heard that the name of this dish was Feihuang Tengda, so he couldn't help but take another bite and asked, "What's the little interesting thing?"
"Everyone knows that Commander Wei Chi likes food, and he is even better at finding food. Walking in the market one day, passing by a remote alley, I suddenly smelled a faint smell of strange food, and smelled the fragrance to find the end of the alley. The source of the scent came from a dilapidated and uninhabited house.
When Wei Chi entered it, he saw a child in tattered clothes biting a steaming roast chicken, and the commander of Wei Chi inquired about the fact that the man had stolen the chicken to eat, so he asked him where the roast chicken came from.
I heard the boy say, 'This is what I have learned from telling my master's house about the chicken thieves.' 'How do you know that those men have stolen the chickens?' and the boy replied, 'How can I not know how I have been with them day and night, and that we have gone together once.' At that time, Wei Chi was only concerned with the food, and did not bother with the child much, so he spent ten taels of Mistrol to buy this recipe, and asked the boy the name of the dish, and the boy said, 'The method of making this roast chicken was created by their beggars, and it is called Flower Chicken.'
When Wei Chi made it for us to eat, he didn't like to call it Huaji, and it was an improved version, so he renamed the dish Feihuang Tengda, which also means the beggar who betrayed his companion in order to satisfy his appetite.
At that time, after listening to what Wei Chi said, the food was tasteless. However, Wei Chi ate a mouth full of oil at that time, and kept saying that it was delicious, and it should not be bad. In order to speed up the trip, the envoy brought limited materials, and the mission only brought some ordinary ingredients, so he could only make this relatively simple but delicious roast chicken to thank Director Xiang for his kindness. How does Director Xiang feel? Is it really as delicious as Wei Chi said?"
