Sure enough, Meng Qi quietly solved the barbecue on one table and began to eat the barbecue on the third table.

Xie Xiaojiao knew that she was doomed, she sat on the bench, her chin was propped up, and she pouted to look at Meng Qi, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know how Meng Qi did it.

'It's over, I'll lose later, I'm going to be kissed by him.' Xie Xiaojiao's face turned red when she thought of this, she hurriedly lowered her head, looked at the straw paper soaked with oil flowers on the table, and her heart was numb.

While she was thinking wildly, she suddenly heard the phrase "I'm done eating!" ”

She raised her head, wanting to confirm, but suddenly saw a face hurrying close to her, and before she could react, the other party's oily lips pressed against her own.

This person was naturally Meng Qi who had finished eating the barbecue and came to ask for a reward.

"Ahh Xie Xiaojiao exclaimed in surprise and pushed Meng Qi away, she reached out and wiped the oil stains on her mouth with the back of her hand, and glared at Meng Qi with a flushed face and extreme shame.

Meng Qi said proudly: "I can eat all the barbecue as agreed." ”

Xie Xiaojiao looked around and found that Meng Qi had indeed finished eating the barbecue, which shocked her, but also didn't want to be angry at Meng Qi's strong kiss, she snorted, turned around and ran into the house.

"Haha." The people outside laughed.

The old man looked at Meng Qi and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a good appetite, and he is a lover of personality, in the future, the old man will entrust his little feet to you, and the old man can rest assured." ”

Meng Qi smiled: "You have to keep my little feet for me, that kiss just now is a token of love, or it won't be long before I will come to marry Miss Xie in person." ”

"Okay." The old man laughed heartily.

Hearing everyone chatting outside, Xie Xiaojiao in the room was angry and helpless, she touched her lips, thinking in her heart that the first kiss was taken away so brutally, and it was not at all the same as the dreamlike description of the first kiss in the book, but it was oily.

'Will I marry this man in the future?' This man can really eat, and he is also very good at killing, I heard that the emperors of other countries have three palaces and six courts, and many concubines, will he snub me when the time comes? Xie Xiaojiao turned the buttons on his clothes, thinking wildly.

Meng Qi rested for a while, got up and stretched, and said, "Okay, it's time for us to go back to the palace." ”

"Yes." The 11 people of the earth branch immediately stood up and said respectfully.

"Old man, do you want to go back with us?" Meng Qi asked.

The old man glanced back at Xie Xiaojiao's back in the room and said with a smile, "We'll go back in a few days." ”

Xie Xiaozu in the room heard this, and immediately ran out, saying: "No, grandpa, let's go back directly, barbecue so much meat, there is a barbecue smell all around, how can you sleep at night, and I estimate that this barbecue smell will attract a lot of animals." ”

The old man nodded and said, "Then listen to you." ”

"Then let's go together." Meng Qi said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll clean up." The old man stood up and walked to the room.

After a while, Meng Qixie Xiaojiao and his party left the wooden house.

It was not long before an army of 10,000 men came from the east, and they went straight to the vicinity of the hut, then cut down the surrounding bushes and went into the courtyard.

The general at the head saw the mess all over the place, and his face was ugly: "It's a step too late." ”

Xie Xiaojiao didn't know that a decision she made saved her and her grandfather's lives.

The general looked around and ordered, "Burn this place." ”

At this time, the strategist beside him hurriedly said: "Wait, General Zhao, this place can't be moved." ”

"Why can't you move?" General Zhao glared angrily, and the strategist took a step back in fright.

The strategist didn't dare to look directly into General Zhao's eyes, he lowered his head and said, "When you come, Master Sun will explain to the small one, if you can't catch someone, you will leave this place and not move." ”

General Zhao frowned and said, "It's Sun Su's old boy again?" ”

The strategist smiled wryly and nodded.

General Zhao glanced back at the quiet wooden house, snorted coldly, and then left with the soldiers.

On the way, Xie Xiaojiao has kept a distance from Meng Qi, Meng Qi stood on the right side of the old man, Xie Xiaojiao stood on the left side of the old man, Meng Qi found an excuse and walked to the left side of the old man, and when he wanted to get close to Xie Xiaojiao, Xie Xiaojiao took another step and slipped to the right of the old man.

The two of them seemed to be playing hide and seek, and Meng Qi couldn't catch Xie Xiaojiao.

The old man saw this scene in his eyes and smiled, he didn't speak, just waiting for Meng Qi to solve it himself.

"By the way, little feet, what are you going to ask for if you win?" Meng Qi turned his head to look at Xie Xiaojiao.

Xie Xiaojiao heard Meng Qi mention the bet just now, and remembered the humiliating scene of being kissed by force, her face was slightly red, she turned her head to look at the other side, the back of her head was facing Meng Qi, and said, "Don't say it, I lost anyway, there is nothing to say." ”

Meng Qi smiled: "Don't, you tell me, maybe I'll promise you if I'm in a good mood." ”

"Hmph, where did you get such kindness." Xie Xiaojiao still twisted his head and said.

Meng Qi smiled embarrassedly: "Then I promise you now that as long as you say it, I will meet your request, you say, what did you want to ask just now." ”

Xie Xiaojiao shook his head and said, "I won't make a request if I lose, I'm willing to gamble and lose." ”

Meng Qi chuckled, liking this girl's character more and more.

Everyone laughed and returned to the imperial city together, Meng Qi and the old man separated in the red apricot lane, the old man walked to the alley with Xie Xiaojiao, and the old man also informed Meng Qi before leaving, they lived at No. 13 Mud Bottle Street, so that Meng Qi could come to visit the door when he had leisure, and Meng Qi naturally agreed.

After parting, Meng Qi and his party returned to the palace.

It was late at night, the palace was silent, the maids and little eunuchs were sitting and asleep, when Meng Qi came back, he woke everyone up, and the little eunuchs hurriedly got up and said in fear: "Your Majesty, you are back." ”

Meng Qi smiled: "Okay, you all go back and rest." ”

"Yes." Only then did the maid and the little eunuch dare to leave the dormitory.

Meng Qi brought hot water by himself, washed up, and went to bed, he looked at an empty bed next to him, quite uncomfortable, he had been used to living with Sauron, now Sauron was gone, Meng Qi still felt empty, faintly, and worried about being assassinated.

He took Colt out and put it under his pillow, and then closed his eyes and slept.

Nothing happened overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, Meng Qi got up early, washed up, and after eating breakfast for 100 people, he went to the military headquarters to inspect the preparations for military supplies before the war.

Chen He, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was diligent in his official duties, and at this time, he was already handling affairs in the Ministry of War, and when he saw Meng Qi visiting, he took Meng Qi to the Ministry of War for review.

Meng Qi looked at the glycerin bombs and mines made by the Ministry of War, nodded, and asked, "How did you test this mine?" ”

Chen He smiled bitterly: "With the livestock test, a lot of livestock have been killed these days. ”

Meng Qi smiled strangely, he looked at the long arrow in the quiver next to him, and said, "How effective is this all-steel crossbow arrow?" ”

Chen He replied: "The power is indeed more powerful than that of a wooden crossbow arrow, but the workmanship is complicated and the cost is also high, in addition, this thinner steel arrow is easy to float in the late range." ”

Meng Qi nodded and said, "It's okay, just make these steel arrows." ”

"Yes." Chen He received the order.

"By the way, today your military department will follow my orders to plant mines and glycerin fragmentation bombs, do you remember the specific details?" Meng Qi said.

"I don't dare to forget it." Chen He said.

Meng Qi nodded and added, "One more point, when you evacuate the Black Forest every day, remember to restore the surrounding environment, so that people can't see that the land in that area has been untouched. ”

"Yes."
