The afterglow of the setting sun swayed on the dark green grassland, and the sunset reflected colorful light, wisps, soft, thin, woven into a colorful halo. Not far away, a brown horse was grazing leisurely, and a brown-gray horse next to it was grazing with its head down, everything was so harmonious.

Yunqing looked up at the sunset in the distance, and didn't know what to think of that dream. In the dream he exterminated the Northern Captives and killed all the captives. However, he did not have the pleasure of revenge, but his heart was empty. That kind of loneliness is something that no one can experience.

Brother Hao said with a smile: "Dad, I have always heard that the grassland is very beautiful. When I saw it today, the rumors were true. ”

Seeing that he didn't get a response for a long time, Brother Hao looked up, only to find that Yunqing's expression was not quite right.

After thinking for a while, Qi Hao grabbed Yun Qing's calloused hand and asked, "Dad, what are you thinking? Are you thinking about Uncle Jiang Bo and them?" Jiang Bo also grew up with Yun Qing since he was a child, and later died in the battle of the canyon.

Yun Qing came back to his senses, saw that the anxiety on Qi Hao's face was swept away, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am thinking about you Uncle Jiang Bo and them." "It's just a dream, he is alone in the dream, and destroying the North Captivity is his obsession to live, so his heart will be empty after he completes this thing. But now it's different, he has a wife and children, and he lives happily. The extermination of the Northern Captivity was not only the fulfillment of his promise to his brothers, but also one of the links in his completion of the unification of the world.

Qi Hao comforted Yunqing and said, "Dad, Uncle Jiang Bo, if they know that you destroyed the Northern Captives and avenged them, they will definitely be very happy." ”

Yun Qing nodded with a smile and asked Qi Hao a question: "Do you want to eat roast whole sheep?" If you want, Dad will roast it for you at night." ”

Although he was exiled once in a dream, dreams are not the same as reality. During this time, Yunqing tensed his nerves every day. Now that the battle is over, he is in the mood to do something else.

Qi Hao said very face-savingly: "I heard Uncle Xu say that Daddy's roasting whole sheep is a must, and today I finally have the opportunity to taste Daddy's craftsmanship." ”

Yun Qing was also in a good mood and said, "When I go back this time, I will also roast a sheep for your mother to eat." ”

Qi Hao said happily: "Ah Rui, after they know, they will definitely be crazy. "His mother pays a lot of attention to health and doesn't eat barbecue and other things. Daddy roasts sheep, and when the triplets can let go of their belly and eat it.

Yi Kun walked over and interrupted the conversation between father and son: "Lord Wang, General Cui is back." "Cui Mo led the cavalry to pursue the second prince of the Northern Captivity who fled to the depths of the grassland, and it has been five days now.

Yunqing said to Qi Hao, "Go back!"

Lu Bai led the two horses over. Yun Qing led the gray horse and said with a smile, "Let's go back." "Yunqing's mount happens to be the father of Qihao's mount.

Because Yunqing's body couldn't do strenuous exercises, the father and son walked slowly on horseback.

Cui Mo was waiting outside the commander's camp, and saw Yunqing and Qihao hurriedly saluting: "Lord Wang, Lord Shizi." ”

Yun Qing got off the horse, glanced at Cui Mo and asked, "Didn't catch up?" If he caught up, Cui Mo would not have a depressed face, but would be full of red light.

Cui Mo lowered his head and said, "They went into the depths of the grassland, we were not familiar with the terrain over there, and there was not enough food and grass, so they came back. "He had made a military order at the beginning, and he would definitely come back with the head of the second prince of bullshit, but now he has been slapped in the face.

Yunqing smiled and said, "If you don't catch up, you don't catch up, it's not a big deal." With that, he lifted the curtain and went in.

Qi Hao smiled and said, "Uncle Cui, Dad doesn't blame you, let's go in!" In fact, Yun Qing said a few days ago that Cui Mo couldn't catch up with the second prince Ge Ri Letu. The reason is simple, they are not familiar with the terrain in the depths of the steppe, and they will definitely not be able to catch up unless they take the lives of the cavalry seriously. And Cui Mo treats every cavalry as a treasure, and it is impossible to take risks.

Looking at Cui Mo, who was dejected, Yunqing didn't say anything of relief, because it was useless to say it. Yun Qing just smiled and said, "Eat roast whole sheep at night, you go and prepare!"

Cui Mo looked up at Yunqing and said, "Lord Wang......" He made a military order before, saying that if you can't catch Ge Ri Letu, you will come to see him. This made Yun Qing say nothing, but it made him feel more and more shameless.

Yun Qing laughed and said, "Could it be that you really have to cut off your head, so that you can feel at ease?"

Cui Mo touched his neck and said, "The eldest husband is hard to chase after him, if the prince wants to cut it, just cut it!"

Yun Qing scolded with a smile: "Hurry up and pick a few fat sheep to eat, and have a good time at night." As for your head, keep it for now, and you'll need it later!"

After Cui Mo went out, Qi Hao said, "Dad, you have a really good relationship with Uncle Cui and Uncle Feng. "He doesn't look like a subordinate at all, like a brother.

Yunqing said: "They have been with me since they were teenagers, and they have been with me like brothers over the years. After speaking, Yun Qing sighed: "There are more than twenty people, and there are only four of them left." "It would be nice if everyone else was still alive.

Qi Hao didn't expect that his unintentional words would make Yunqing feel emotional.

Two quarters of an hour later, Cui Mo had three fat sheep carried over. In addition to the precious jewels, gold and silver, there were also herds of cattle, sheep and horses. Cattle and sheep are all things to eat, and on the day of victory, everyone was allowed to eat with their bellies open. As for the horses, they naturally had to be brought back.

Seeing this, Yunqing asked Qihao: "Are you interested in learning how to slaughter sheep?"

Qihao has integrated into the life of the barracks and does not feel that slaughtering cattle and sheep lowers his status. Qi Hao smiled and said, "Okay! "No matter where he is, he can quickly adjust his mentality and put himself in the right position. This is also the reason why Qihao can be liked by everyone.

Cui Mo laughed and said, "If the prince wants to learn, then I have to show off my skills." ”

At this time, a voice like thunder sounded: "Just your two hands, I'm embarrassed to say that I have a unique job." ”

When Qi Hao saw someone coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Feng, you are here." ”

Feng Dajun said with a smile: "I heard that the prince is going to roast the whole sheep at night to see if there is anything that needs help." ”

Yunqing smiled and said, "If you don't come, I will also send someone to call you." You've all worked hard during this time, so take a good rest today. "Killing the northern captives doesn't mean it's easy. On the contrary, there is a lot of follow-up to be taken care of. So these days, he and Feng Dajun are busy, and now that Cui Mo is back, it is time for them to go back to Yucheng.

Three sheep, it just so happens that Yunqing and Feng Dajun and Cui Mo are one by one. And Qi Hao, Feng Zhiao and Cui Weiqi are on the side.

The three of them used similar techniques, first tying the limbs of the sheep, then cutting the neck of the sheep with a knife, and catching the blood with a basin. When the blood is gone, the head of the sheep is cut off and the skin is started.

Peeling is what Cui Mo is best at, and after peeling, the sheepskin is not damaged at all, and it is very complete.

Cui Mo looked at Feng Dajun's sheepskin with a few holes, and said triumphantly: "Crazy, your skills are far worse than mine. "When I was in Yucheng before, life was hard. A sheepskin that is intact will sell for more money than a damaged sheepskin. Of course, this is Cui Mo's unilateral statement, the real reason is that Cui Mo likes to eat roasted whole sheep, and he has practiced this craft after a long time.

In fact, among the three people, the worst is Yunqing. The sheepskin was all over the place by him, and it was worthless to sell it. However, Feng Dajun didn't dare to compare with Yunqing, but said with a smile: "I haven't done it for a long time, and I am indeed a lot unfamiliar." ”

Yun Qing didn't feel embarrassed, he was not good at peeling sheepskin: "Yi Kun, go and bring the seasoning." "The seasonings on the grassland are definitely not as complete as those in the palace.

After peeling the sheepskin, the guts are cleaned. Yunqing knew that Qi Hao didn't eat offal, so he asked Yi Kun to take the offal to the kitchen and hand it over to the cook to deal with.

After the processed sheep was washed, a knife was taken and several small cuts were made with a knife in the abdominal cavity of the sheep and in the thick part of the flesh on the inside of the hind legs. Then I took the spice and salt and spread it on the small sip. Then use an iron skewer to pin it into the abdomen, **** facing up, hang the limbs on the leather surface with iron hooks, and then brush with soy sauce, and brush with sesame oil after cooling.

By this time the fire had been erected. After the three of them hung the sheep on each other, they began to light a fire and roast it. This method is relatively simple, but it is also very difficult to use.

Cui Mo said with a smile while flipping the sheep: "I am good at peeling, and the prince is the best at roasting sheep." "Yunqing has the best control of the heat.

Cui Weiqi deliberately demolished his father's platform: "Then when my son goes to eat the sheep roasted by the prince, don't say that my son won't give you face!"

Cui Mo snorted: "That sheep is not enough for the prince and the prince to eat, how can you have your share? It's better not to eat, you can go to bed hungry tonight!" This unfilial son dared to dislike his bad skills.

Qi Hao looked at the sheep on the iron frame and said, "Uncle Cui, my father and I can't eat so much." "Even if the sheep's head, sheepskin and internal organs are removed, there are only about 20 catties of meat, where can their father and son eat it.

Cui Mo said: "Lord Shizi, the prince ate a whole sheep by himself back then. Now with you, it's no problem. ”

Yun Qing scolded with a smile: "You still think I was young, now that I'm old, I can't eat so much." "Yunqing did eat a sheep back then, but the sheep was thin and small, and it only looked like five or six catties of meat when it was cleaned up. For a very hungry young man, it is not uncommon to eat five or six catties of meat.

"I don't feel old, why do you think you're old, Lord Wang?" Cui Mo felt that he was still young and strong, and it was no problem to kill a tiger.

Feng Dajun was concentrating on roasting sheep next to him.

Qi Hao sat next to him, quietly listening to the three of them chatting word by word.

Suddenly, everyone smelled a burning smell. Cui Weiqi pointed to the charred sheep and shouted, "Dad, the mutton is burned." ”

Cui Mole said hehehe: "It's better to burn paste." After speaking, he took the mutton off the iron frame, cut off a leg with a knife, put it on a plate and handed it to Cui Weiqi.

Cui Weiqi took it with a bitter face, he really didn't want to eat this burnt roast mutton. took a bite, it was terrible, but he didn't dare to vomit, so he could only force himself to swallow it.

Yunqing looked at Cui Weiqi with a bitter look on his face, and said with a smile: "Don't eat it if it's burnt, I'll bake it later." ”

When Cui Mo heard this, he immediately asked people to take down the sheep he roasted: "Lord Wang, since this is the case, then you can also give me some to eat later!"

Cui Weiqi really wants to cover his face, having such a cheeky father is really face-saving.

Yunqing already knew Cui Mo's virtue, and said with a smile: "You can eat as much as you want, but you can't eat anymore." ”

After a quarter of an hour, Yunqing's roasted whole sheep was also ready. I have to say that Yunqing's craftsmanship is really good, this mutton is roasted golden and buttery, which makes people have an appetite at a glance.

The sheep was taken off the iron frame, and Yun Qing asked Feng Dajun: "What about you?

Feng Dajun's mutton is roasted well, but it doesn't look as good as Yunqing: "No need, my sheep is also roasted well, and it can be eaten." "One sheep is enough for so many people. It's rare to get together and eat together, and you have to have a good time.

The sheep roasted by Yunqing has a brown and crispy meat on the outside, but the meat on the inside is soft and tender. After Cui Weiqi took a bite, he nodded and praised: "It's delicious, it's so delicious." ”

Feng Dajun said with a smile: "Isn't it boring to have mutton without wine." "They all drink a good amount of alcohol, and they will be fine if they drink some.

Lu Bai quickly sent a jar of wine over. This wine is a trophy, and there is a lot of it!

Everyone is a big bowl of wine, and even Qihao has not escaped. Even if he hasn't drunk spirits, Qi Hao won't say anything to ruin his happiness on this occasion. In the army, if you don't do this or that, it's easy to be annoying.

"Ahem...... "This wine is too strong, and after taking a sip, Brother Hao feels as if his throat is burned.

Yun Qing patted Qi Hao on the back and said with a smile: "I just started drinking, I have to drink slowly and can't be in a hurry." Since Qi Hao was willing to drink it, he naturally didn't stop it.

Feng Dajun said with a smile: "The prince is good at everything, but this amount of wine is not good." Lord Wang, you have to let the prince practice well, this is not good. "The amount of alcohol is practiced, and no one is born with a drink.

After drinking a small half bowl of wine, Qi Hao was a little dizzy. Shaking his head, Qi Hao pointed at Cui Mo and said, "Dad, why are there two Uncle Cui!"

Looking at Qi Hao, whose face was as red as a burning cloud, Yun Qing said with a smile: "What two Uncle Cui, you are drunk." "I only drank half a bowl of wine and got drunk, this amount of wine is really not good. I think when he was ten years old, he drank a big bowl of baijiu before he got drunk.

"Oh, I'm drunk!" After speaking, Qi Hao leaned on Yunqing's body and narrowed his eyes.

Yun Qing picked up Qi Hao and said to a few people with a smile: "You eat first, and I will send him back to the camp and come back." "It's summer, but it's windy on the grassland, so it's easy to catch a cold if you're not careful.

Cui Weiqi looked at Yunqing's back and said to himself: "The prince is so happy to have a father like the prince." As soon as these words fell, Cui Weiqi felt a pain in his head.

After Cui Mo finished beating someone, he scolded: "Stinky boy, isn't your father and I bad to you?"

Cui Weiqi is not afraid of Cui Mo at all, which is also related to his temperament: "My father is good to me, but compared with the prince, it is still so bad." ”

Cui Mo was amused and angry: "." "Now that it's like this, wouldn't it be a matter of turning the sky upside down if you want to indulge it any longer.
