Uh, uh, uh, on the last day, Erjin weakly asked for a monthly pass, and the monthly pass was in the bowl, and it was going to melt and hey-

The world of foodies can't be understood......

------Off topic------

Zhao Zhu's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at him as he approached step by step, and lowered his throat, "Although Ah Qi can't hear it, in order to avoid more trouble, I still ask Xia Gong to take a step to speak." ”

"Are you ......? I don't know. ”

Xia Tinggan was slightly stunned and looked at the man in front of him.

"Xia Gong!"

Sighing secretly, she continued to return to the board to knead the dough, but she never expected that this father, whom she thought was abolished, was stopped by Zhao Zhu at the corner of the wall when he happily picked up the roast chicken and walked out.

This daddy is useless.

"Alas!"

Who is she recruiting?

An old one, a small one, two foodies......

Seeing that as soon as he went out, he quickened his pace, like a ghost behind him, Xia Chuqi rubbed his temples, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

"Alright, I'm leaving."

Xia Tinggan had a serious face and patted her hand.

At the beginning of summer, the seven frosts beat like eggplants, drooped his hands, and stared at him strangely without saying anything.

"......" I see?

Xia Tinggan narrowed his eyes and said seriously, "Although Dao often says, you and I have been father and daughter before, and there is fate. Can...... If you were my daughter, I would not believe you. But now, if I want to eat chicken, you will give me chicken, and I will believe it. If I believe it, I will inevitably hug you and cry and recognize you as my daughter. ”

"Really? Who am I? ”

Xia Chuqi was stunned, surprised, and grabbed his arm with both hands.

Xia Tinggan nodded heavily, "Remember." ”

"Dad, do you remember me?"

Is it all of a sudden getting better? She swallowed nervously, carefully pulled the old man's hand away, and asked him with staring eyes.

At the beginning of the summer, the seven statues were struck by lightning, and their bodies stiffened, stunned.

"Daughter...... My daughter......"

Xia Tinggan snorted, and the hand holding the chicken paused in the air. Looking at her, he was stunned, ran over suddenly, hugged her coldly, and choked with a whimper, but his other hand kept rubbing chicken fat on her body.

"I don't want to eat it, you can take it, and Master Daochang will eat chicken around the fireplace."

Looking at his confused appearance, Xia Chuqi couldn't cry or laugh, and raised his hand to rub his forehead.

"Do you want to eat it too?" Seeing that she was silent, Xia Tinggan guessed and handed over the roast chicken, "Then you can tear a chicken leg." ”

Xia Chuqi was speechless by him, and he was even more speechless to the Dao Changda monk who said that. Not to mention that Chang is often a "high-ranking monk", should or should not be so fond of meat, let's just say that the old man in front of her who steals chickens, she can't imagine that it is the Duke of Wei who is on the battlefield and has outstanding talents.

“……”

As if she was right by her, Xia Tinggan frowned and nodded, "The master said that the beginning of winter is approaching, the human body is cold, and it is the rainy season, so it is time to nourish and nourish the body...... Well, it's best to eat chicken around the hearth. ”

"Is Master Daochang going to eat?"

Pursing his lips helplessly, Xia Chuqi sighed.

The old man's illness was much better, his words were much sharper, and there didn't seem to be any major problems, but he still didn't recognize Xia Chuqi as his daughter.

Xia Tinggan's eyes widened, carrying a chicken in one hand, and snorting while stroking his beard with the other, "How can this be reasonable, when did the old man sneak around?" The old man stepped in from the threshold above board and took it from himself in the cage. ”

"Dad, you always want to eat, just say it, why do you sneak it up?"

However, with the conditioning of Xia Chuqi, the old man's body has improved a lot, he has gained weight, and his face is much whiter. It's just that his appearance at this moment looks even more miserable than when he didn't enter the Jin Palace, and he frowned when he saw Xia Chuqi.

These days, although Xia Chuqi has been treating him every day, removing poison, and getting along a lot, I don't know why, he and her are not too close, but this old man is very good with Daochang monk, and he is inseparable all day long, like a pair of iron buddies.

Xia Tinggan's body stiffened, and he stopped resignedly, and turned his head to look at her with a bitter face.

"Stop!"

With a sweep of her eyes, she turned her head sharply.

Xia Chuqi's ears couldn't hear, and he didn't know it originally. But the cook suddenly stiffened like a ghost, and the strange atmosphere still caused her sixth sense.

"Old man, what are you...... What to do? ”

The cook was stunned and shocked.

He pointed to the back of Xia Chuqi, cautiously walked to the edge of the cage at the head of the stove, lifted the cover, and picked up a fatty roast chicken on the plate with his hands, and then pulled his feet and ran away.

"I'll take things...... Don't tell her. ”

Probably seeing that Xia Chuqi didn't turn his head, and he didn't notice himself, Xia Tinggan smiled proudly, glanced at the cook, and tiptoed in.

"Shhhh

They responded happily and went about their work. But as soon as he turned his head, he saw the old man with the pestle at the door of the stove room - Xia Tinggan. The old man's gray hair, straw-like unkempt on his head, and the clothes on his body also seemed to be wrapped in a layer of mud, not very clean, and he looked embarrassed, not like the prince's father-in-law.

The cook had to come to help, so as not to be told by the little county lord.

"Bhoo, okay."

"No need." Xia Chuqi glanced at Baoyin, and happened to meet the little girl's "earnest" gaze, and suddenly faded his lazy thoughts, nuned his mouth, and whispered: "You two will give me a hand, Nuo, wash the pork over there, chop it into pieces, and then go and get two shiitake mushrooms, cut them into thin strips, and make them a little thinner......"

The two fat cooks who were helping the cook on the stove saw that she was so worried, and their hearts tightened, and they had to go up and ask, "Princess, why don't you go and rest?" Let's do it two. ”

Rolling up her sleeves, she kneaded the dough heavily, sighing.

"Alas——!"

But when she thought of Baoyin's age, she felt that it was the former.

Her instincts told her that the answer should be the latter.

Does this girl really think she's doing a good job, or does she want to fix her?

Although every time the little girl eats the food in her mouth, she will happily shout "A-Niang is so good, A-Niang's cooking is the best", but Xia Chuqi looked at her pair of black eyes, and always had a feeling of being calculated.

Except for the dishes she cooks, she refuses to appreciate the face of others.

In this way, she also cultivated Xiao Baoyin's taste.

Regardless of whether she is reluctant or unhappy, since the cowhide of "can cook one hundred and twenty-eight kinds of food" was blown out, she has reluctantly become Xiao Baoyin's queen cook, and she has naturally become a culinary master. Stir-frying, exploding, boiling, frying, cooking, frying, stewing, boiling, boiling, steaming, everything.

At this point, it's her cooking time.

Someone was standing outside the window, and he didn't notice it at half a o'clock in the early summer.

~

Would he like to go back to his room and take a shower and change his clothes before coming back?

His unkempt appearance is so unkempt, let Ah Qi and Baoyin see it, will they mind?

Through a thin window, looking at the hazy shadow inside the window paper, listening to the laughter inside the window, he raised his hand and touched the beard on his face, but he didn't have the courage to go in.

Another voice came into his ears, and Zhao Zhu subconsciously paused. The voice was soft, glutinous, like a magic sound, and quickly rolled up all the tenderness in his heart.

"Baoyin, be careful, you grab its foot, and it will bite you in a moment."

I don't know what kind of fun I had, but Bao Yin laughed heartily again, and the "gurgling" sound was childish, crisp, and extremely happy. This made Zhao Zhu, who was a father, excited, and felt that it was worth it to protect their peace and happiness, even if he traded his life.

"Haha, the fox fell, fell......"

The fox was screaming, and the sound didn't sound much different from that of a dog.

"Whoa......

"Fox, jump higher. High Jump, for you to eat. ”

In the stove room, Xiao Baoyin was "giggling" and laughing, teasing the little fox.

Before I got closer, I smelled the aroma of food, and there was a unique smell of fireworks, faint, light, and very good...... He thought that if one day there would be no more wars and the four seas would be peaceful, and he and Ah Qi, with their children, would be the greatest happiness to be able to spend their lives in the fireworks of the world so calmly.

Knowing that Xia Chuqi was on the stove at this time, he didn't take anyone with him, but stepped on the bluestone slab soaked in the rain and went straight to the stove room.

Ah Qi and the child were talking about him, and he surprised the two of them.

Zhao Zhu stopped him.

He comforted himself like this, let go of his horse on the street, stepped on it with a "bang", and arrived at the Jin Wang's Mansion in a short time. When the porter in the house saw that it was him, he was startled, and then his face was happy and he wanted to go in and report.

If you can see your wife and daughter before the war, you may be able to play better.

Normal people know that at such a time, he should not actually come back. But he couldn't say why, the thought in his heart was so strong that he finally left behind the 100,000 army and returned to this peaceful city.

Early tomorrow morning, he will return to the camp and prepare to attack Juyong Pass.

When he received Xia Chuqi's letter from home, he was like he had suddenly fallen into an evil spirit, and his mind came up, and he couldn't control anything. Without saying a word, he rode back to Beiping, just to see her.

However, behind those seemingly easy successes, only those who were on the battlefield could know that in such a tense atmosphere, they could not eat well, sleep well, and the climate was not good, and there was no place to take a bath...... It's impossible not to become a savage.

Zhao Bottle rode through the middle, feeling their gaze, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. When I went back after a while, the little girl in his family saw that he was so embarrassed, and she should look down on him again.

Why did he, who should have been in Miyun, suddenly appear in Beiping?

How could His Royal Highness King Jin be so embarrassed?

But there was a hint of disbelief on each of their faces.

The soldiers lined up on both sides and saluted Zhao Zhu.

The heavy gates opened.

"Bang-"

The soldier had actually seen Zhao Zhu, and although it was only a glimpse from afar, he still had some impressions of him. The reason why he didn't recognize it at first was really no wonder that he was just because Zhao Zhu looked too embarrassed at this moment. He was soaking wet, wearing a cloak and a robe, his face was haggard, and the beard on his face was not shaved, and he looked completely different from that day in Yongdingmen.

“…… I believe. ”

"Yes." Zhao Tuo slowly took out the token from his waist, lifted it up, and saw that the soldier didn't seem to believe it, so he had to sigh, "If you don't believe it, let you General Chen come to see you." ”

"Are you...... Jin Wang Palace, Your Highness. ”

"Ahh

The man's voice was faint, "I'm Zhao Zhu." ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red, "Who the hell are you?" ”

"Next time, don't ink, the arrow is in hand, if you don't shoot, you will miss the opportunity."

The man did not speak, but slowly turned over and dismounted, took the reins, and walked to the heavy gate, and only when he was near the door did he slowly raise his chin in the rain, look at the guards on the wall, and nod heavily.

"If you don't speak, I'll shoot you?"

He was a little frightened, but the hand holding the bow and arrow tightened again.

The one rode closer, and the other seemed to be not afraid of bows and arrows, and looked up at him slightly, and did not say a word, his eyes were so cold that it seemed as if he had entered the wax moon in advance, and the whole person was placed in the cold winter, and layers of goosebumps quickly appeared on his back.

"Who is sneaky? Register your name. ”

A little soldier shrunk his neck, and then raised his bow and arrows and asked.

Mo is not from the Southern Army, right?

Several soldiers on the city wall were all new to the army, and they had not yet been trained in the big war.

Before the man could get near, he whispered a whisper.

"Open the door!"

At this time, the gates of the city were closed, and the people were not allowed to enter or leave. Therefore, no one will come to the city gate again. But at this time, the guards on the city wall found that a man and a horse were galloping in the distance in the rain. The black-robed horse was extremely athletic, and the man's cloak and coat were soaked in the rain, but he still showed off his sturdy and long form.

The new rules in wartime are curfews at night.

This is the scene of Beiping during the war, low pressure and tension.

On the street at night, the lights were on, but it was deserted, and the patrolling soldiers were dressed in armor, armed with guns and halberds, and their faces were majestic and cold. On the road in the rain, occasionally a few people, as if they couldn't withstand the autumn cold, didn't dare to take a second look, so they quickly ran home.

In these days of winter, Peiping Mansion has been pouring rain. The thin rain was like a hazy gauze, shrouding the war-torn city in a layer of smoke.

~

"Look, fox, adults are crazy."

The two of them played together, giggling and laughing. Xiao Baoyin sat on the chair, lightly touched the little fox under his feet, and frowned knowingly.

"I don't dare to ask for you, and I can't afford you to ......"

"I was wrong, the princess spared me, I am your person, your person ......"

She just itched so much that she laughed as she ran.

What is uh-huh-hmmhhh

"Poof", Xia Chuqi couldn't help laughing, and pinched her with his hand, "Shameless little hoof, when is it his person?" Are you ......" She paused, suddenly realized, oh, while teasing Qinglan's armpit, while laughing: "Honestly, are you with him, uh-huh, ahh ”

Qinglan looked at her and suddenly said, "Brother Chen's people." ”

At the beginning of summer, he looked at the sky and squinted, "Who are you?" ”

Qinglan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Anyway, I won't do anything that His Highness doesn't allow." ”

"Come on...... What can I do? ”

was guessed by her, Xia Chuqi rubbed her nose helplessly.

Qinglan snorted, "Knowing that His Highness is going to attack Juyong Pass, aren't you itching in your heart?" But you know, now that there is no peace outside, no one knows what is going to happen, and you can't run over it with such a big grin. I have made a guarantee to Your Highness, and I will protect you thoroughly. ”

Xia Chuqi let out a "huh", tilted his head, and asked puzzledly, "How do you know what I'm going to say?" ”

Before she could finish speaking, Qinglan interrupted her, raising her eyebrows and refusing.

"The princess doesn't have to say it, I won't agree."

The two of them walked to the side, and she whispered, "Qinglan......"

But whoever goes against her is a bad person. This girl's values are also very simple. Xia Chuqi couldn't cry or laugh, let go of his hand, and returned the thing to her. Seeing her turn around and hide like a treasure, she pursed her lips and glanced at Qinglan, who was also laughing.

"Don't! A-Niang is a bad person! ”

Xia Chuqi made a gesture to throw her "donkey rolling" to the little fox who was sleeping lazily, and this time, the foodie Baoyin roared out with a "wow", and the whole body pounced, dragging her arm to death.

"If you don't eat it, I'll give it to the fox?"

"Auntie! Go. ”

Xia Chuqi's face darkened and patted her on the head, "Eat!" ”

How dare you think about it?

"Auntie!" Big eyes blinked, and she said, "Let's go find Daddy, shall we?" Sneak to ......"

A few days ago, Yan Kong's Xiao Baoyin was obviously much closer to Zhao Zhu, who no longer had a fake beard on her face, and she was ashamed to state that she was conquered by her father's beauty. Of course, small children are also the most sensitive. In Beiping Mansion, she saw countless people worshipping her father, and she herself had a unique face, and even looked at Zhao Bottle.

The little girl unceremoniously dismantled her, her eyes showing a touch of contempt.

"You brag!"

"Nonsense, your father's skills are all taught by your mother."

Taking a deep breath, Xia Chuqi glared at her solemnly.

“……”

"A-Niang is not omnipotent...... There is no such thing as my daddy. ”

"Dad has something big to do, you have your almighty mother by your side, okay."

The little girl cares a lot about "wanting" and "don't". Those who are in front of her are the ones who want her, and those who are not in front of her are those who don't want her. She knew this very clearly, but Xia Chuqi could never explain it to her.

Watching the pigeon flutter and fly out, Xiao Baoyin, who was originally sitting on the chair eating "donkey rolling", pulled the little fox's white hair, pouted his little mouth, and asked unhappily: "Auntie, why doesn't Daddy want us again?" ”

"Remember, don't go to the wrong place."

Thinking about it, she specially gave one more advice.

"Go ahead."

"Ha" laughed out loud, Xia Chuqi saw Qinglan's flickering eyes, and knew how badly he had poisoned her with this poem, and he was a little proud, and he didn't tear her down, just waiting for the ink on the paper to dry, so he gently rolled it up and tied it to the letterbox, and patted the feathers of the carrier pigeon.

"The words are beautiful, vulgar and elegant, the key is deep and meaningful, good words!"

The first few sentences are still like words, but what the hell is the "hard work and stuffiness" in the back? But although she didn't dare to compliment the princess's literary attainments, she didn't dare to strike, and after thinking for a moment, she still pressed her stomach down, and nodded against her will.

Qinglan's mouth opened and closed, as if she wanted to say something.

"Qinglan, how are we writing?"

After writing, she bit the pen holder, looked left and right, and was very satisfied.

"The husband is looking for a marquis for thousands of miles, and the horses are fighting for mediocrity. The concubine's body turned and thought endlessly, and the red candle shone on the curtain. A hard and stuffy man, thinking of the king and hating the king...... It's just that if you don't come to see you, sooner or later you will become a pulsatilla. ”

She turned around and took down the wolf hair from the bookshelf, supported her forehead slightly, then stroked her sleeves and smiled, and wrote a few lines on the silk paper.

"Okay, for the sake of Xiao Biesheng's new marriage, I will also repair a book."

"That's fine, when you come back, you two will be newlywed." Qinglan chuckled and comforted her, that meaningful appearance made the corners of Xia Chuqi's mouth twitch slightly, she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh, and finally sank her face.

"He won't come back until he breaks the Juyong Pass."

Xia Chuqi shook his head and his tone sank.

Qinglan smiled, "Don't worry about it, Ye has never lost a battle." Seeing that she didn't belong to her thoughts, Qinglan frowned and added, "Did you say that when you will return home?" ”

"Speaking of which, it is now a success, but there are not many main forces of the Southern Army near Beiping Mansion. It is said that Juyongguan has 200,000 soldiers, which is a hard bone and not easy to gnaw. Moreover, outside Juyong Pass, there are Beidi and Wuliang Khan, although they have not moved for the time being, but who knows when they will pounce? The situation is grim, and I don't know what happened to him......"

Xia Chuqi nodded, and a little melancholy disappeared between his eyebrows.

Qinglan pursed her lips and followed her, "Master won the battle?" ”

"That's, it has to be!"

Xia Chuqi's heart was heavy, but he still blinked and smiled at her.

Qinglan combed the fox fur for Baoyin's little fox, and teased her with her head, "Princess, is there a letter from the master?" Look, make you happy. ”

There are not many things in his letter, but they are all joyful of great victory. Seeing this situation, Xia Chuqi's heart that had been hanging for a long time finally came to fruition. She smiled slightly, lit the note on the fire, shook it, threw it into the censer, and narrowed her eyes to see the flame flicker.

"Even if you have a conscience, you still know how to report to the leader."

The family letter was sent by carrier pigeons, but the words were written by Zhao Zhu himself. Each stroke carries his usual style - strong and powerful, full of perseverance.

Fortunately, on the fifteenth day after Zhao Zhu left Beiping, a letter from home finally reached the Jin Palace. It's been half a month, and this is the first time Zhao Shijiu has written to her.

It was getting colder and colder, and she was getting more and more impatient to wait.

Day after day.

As the saying goes, "people who do things are not worried, but people who wait are worried". Zhao Zhu is out fighting, busy every day, and has no time to think about superfluous things. And at home every day at the beginning of the summer, I can't help but be in a trance, I can't stand or sit, and I often wander my mind at a loss. Fortunately, there is Qinglan's comfort, Erbao's father-in-law's trickery and Xiao Baoyin's well-behaved companionship. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stand it.

With hardware facilities and software equipped, coupled with Zhao Zhu's original command ability, combat ability and his god-like belief in the army, the Jin army swept through Beiping, and its momentum was unstoppable.

The triangle is a large battalion equipped with advanced firearms.

The second corner is the explosive and terrifying Tai'an Guard cavalry.

One corner is the Red Thorn Special Combat Team with amazing surprise attack power.

What is the Iron Triangle?

In other words, in just ten days, the Jin army has grown from "tens of thousands" that Zhao Mianze and the court officials looked down on, to more than 100,000 today. Not only that, but among the Jin army that has won many battles, there is also a formidable "iron triangle" -

From the beginning of the division in Beiping City to the time when Zhao Zun broke through Huairou and Miyun, the number of dead and wounded of the Jin army was less than 500, but the number of troops obtained was 780,000.

At this point, Juyong Pass, which was still under the control of the Nanyan court, was in danger.

The Jin army, who couldn't cry or laugh, ate and drank heavily in Miyun City.

The guard general of Miyun City is surnamed Wu, and during the last Zhao Bottle's Northern Expedition, General Wu was a general under Zhao Bottle. It was also because of the reward for that battle that he was promoted to the rank of general from the fourth rank by the imperial court, and he was stationed in Miyun County to deal with Juyongguan. This time, General Wu heard that Zhao Bottle raised troops, the momentum was like a bamboo, he opened the city gate without saying a word, knelt down to welcome Zhao Bottle, the mountain called a thousand years old, and also killed pigs and sheep to welcome the Jin army into the city......

Victory was inevitable, only this time it was more exaggerated.

Another day, the Jin army pointed to Miyun.

In this way, the Jin army, which had tasted a great victory for the first time, was like a fierce tiger, killing all the way to the north, invincible. Five days later, the Jin army attacked Huairou with lightning speed, and a siege battle was fought, and the Jin army was not injured by half of its vitality, and the imperial soldiers and horses defending the city opened the city and surrendered.

Zhao Zhu passed five passes, cut six generals, and harvested rice, and generally included the towns near Beiping Mansion into the Jin army's bag one by one. But seeing the situation like this, Lan Zi'an, who was stationed in Baxian, did not send reinforcements.

The smoke of war spread across the land of northern Xinjiang, and in the haze of beacon fires, the geese to the south seemed to be whimpering. On the trails along the way, in the mountains and forests, the unbearable people rolled up to escape.

The soldiers are endless, devouring the world.

The cold wind suddenly rose, blowing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
