The small stove in the dining house was smoking, I didn't know what was boiling in the kettle, and the cheerful water splashed bubbling, but after listening to the words of the old shopkeeper, several people were not very happy.

Long Ji was bored and just ate it, and he didn't know when he finished drinking the bowl of muddy and astringent vegetable soup, Xiang Ji tapped a finger on the table, and his eyes were a little out of focus.

As for the initiator Yu Zhou? At this moment, he was going to the countryside with the condolence group, pulling the old man to chat and ask, are there any other relatives in the family, is there enough food to eat, who knows what is written on the leaflet, and what do they think......

At the end of the question, the old man wondered if the entire Chu army was so enthusiastic, or if he accidentally met someone who came to the door to find relatives, otherwise why did he ask so carefully?

The more Yu Zhou asked, the more Xiang Ji didn't speak, proud as he was like a lion, for hyenas, tigers and leopards and the like, it was head-on, and for food such as deer, sheep, cattle and horses, he was also ruthless, but in the face of an old fox who had lost his cubs and surrendered to his exposed belly, he didn't know what to do, and the killing intent in his heart was slowly dimming.

It's a bit unrealistic to let Xiang Ji give up that idea just because of a bad old man he just met, but he can't stand that there are still people behind this shopkeeper.

You must know that the things that Yu Zhou talked to him about seemed to be aimless, but in fact, they included a group through a speck of dust.

The portion of one person is a bit light, what if it is a group of people? In the face of a group of common people and squires who are interested in Da Chu, can Da Chu still raise a butcher's knife against them?

Xiang Ji asked several times, the old shopkeeper replied every time that the neighbors had been looking forward to Wang Shi for a long time, the more he asked, the more uncomfortable the old and young looked at him, in fact, this matter was quite boring, in front of Chu Bing, the old man was stupid to say that the villagers were dead set on Daqin, but Xiang Ji has not been able to get the answer that can make him feel at ease to kill, and he is entangled in his heart, and he can't figure out this little thing.

When he came, he was violent, and when he left, he held his hands behind his back, and it could be seen that the meal just now had a great impact on Xiang Ji, and when he walked out, he didn't care about the dragon who had broken his foot, and he also forgot the brown bear in the dining house.

Yu Zhou couldn't take care of those when he helped the little fat man, and only remembered it halfway, and wondered in his heart - did he want to use the prey to pay for the meal or was Xiang Ji so distraught that he couldn't take care of it all? You don't plan to let that bear eat the old shopkeeper, and you won't have a burden on it if you start again, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly stopped, and Yu Zhou was not prepared, so he hit his head on the thick and hard back, stabilized his body again, and said in surprise: "What's the matter, Brother Yu?" ”

"I don't believe it!"

"Huh?! What the?! ”

"I don't believe what the store says!"

Long and this guy is worthy of being a diehard loyalist of Xiang Ji, after listening to it, he limped his calf and said: "If you don't believe it, don't believe it, Brother Xiang can do what he wants, what do you want to do?" ”

Xiang Ji didn't make a decision immediately, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "No, I have to transfer a few more families and listen to what they have to say!" ”

"Good! Let's do it together! ”

"No, you don't! I'll go alone! ”

Glancing at Yu Zhou, he refused the request of the two to accompany him.

This is also normal, although Xiang Ji does not have an extraordinary mind to think through this matter, but with his many years of understanding of Yu Zhou, it seems strange that the slaughter of the city has not been opposed.

Thinking of this morning's meal, Xiang Ji immediately had a vague impression of his brother's means of persuading him.

To be honest, the intimate approach is not offensive, and can even bring some small self-satisfaction and pleasure.

On the contrary, the two choices of killing or not killing were repeatedly circling in his heart, and he really wanted to think about these quietly, and after walking and seeing more, he finally decided the fate of this city.

Also based on years of tacit understanding, as soon as Xiang Ji made up his mind, Yu Zhou knew what the other party thought, and secretly sighed that too familiar understanding can surpass wisdom, and he knew the truth that was too much: "Okay, I'll send the dragon back first, and after noon after finishing the battle book, let's discuss the merit reward with the two military advisors." ”

Xiang Ji nodded, said "Okay" and walked away.

As soon as he left, Yu Zhou threw the little fat man to the ground, quickly called a familiar sergeant to take out the copper coin, and muttered and pointed to the direction where the three of them came.

"Ouch... Ouch...... You are not serious in the sub-period, you know that Lao Tzu has broken his feet, and he is not light on his hands......

I said, "Why are you calling someone?" Brother Xiang's skills don't need to be protected......"

"Nonsense, I only helped you back, and your brother is still in that dining house! We've got to get it back! ”

"Huh? No wonder I feel like I'm missing something......"

Back in the barracks, Yu Zhou was not in a hurry to check the battle merit book, and after a big battle, he would add a night of drinking, he felt very tired now, he fell down and snored, and the pain in the wound suddenly became much lighter.

After a good morning's sleep, I finally woke up hungry.

Last night, he couldn't take care of the taboo with Xiang Ji, and now there is only one person left, Yu Zhou doesn't want to abuse his body anymore.

Picking and removing a few big ingredients and ingredients, he decided to get a crisp pot to treat himself, fortunately, the previous war was more leisurely, and the things were quite complete.

Originally, pork with skin is the best, but the wild boar skin is so thick and hard that it can't be eaten, so I have to cut it into large pieces after removing it, and then spread the wead (cabbage), lotus root, tofu, and chicken nuggets in the pot layer by layer, and finally put a roll of kelp on a bamboo skewer to fix it, add some seasonings such as salt and vinegar, and you can start the fire.

Feeling that the wound was a little numb and swollen, Yu Zhou threw two elbows into it again, planning to eat something to make up for something.

Don't look at the simplicity of three words, this thing is very labor-intensive, because its taste and feeling are all in the word "crisp", so simmering is absolutely indispensable.

Being able to enjoy this kind of enjoyment in the army, in addition to the fact that Yu Zhou's life is more delicate, but also because this delicacy is somewhat beneficial to Fan Zeng's diabetes, the ingredients and utensils are readily available, so there is no need to bother to prepare.

As the slow fire licked, the pot began to sing happily and softly, smelling the bursts of fragrance and began to seep out, he casually took a piece of bread in his mouth, and flipped through the military merit book while curbing his saliva, trying to distract himself.

The goal was quickly achieved, but there was a little blockage, looking at the names marked with cold ink marks, the temptation of food in front of me dropped greatly.

Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum, vote with papaya, repay it with Qiong Yao, the righteousness of the robe is different from the relationship between men and women, but it has another courage than the latter, the sincerity of men and women is as good as life and death, this kind of thing, but it is destined from the day every soldier joins the army! It is destined to live and die together!

Therefore, for the partners who trust their lives, Yu Zhou can beat, scold, and train them with his life, but after these people really pay the price of blood, they can't have the slightest slack and contempt.

The one who cut one was written into two, and the one who captured two was reported to be a servant, military merits, whether it is from the perspective of the practice of the people below or the perspective of buying people's hearts, only a lot of false reports are normal.

Writing and drawing, an afternoon passed quickly, and the aroma wafting from the pot had filled the entire military tent, and it stands to reason that it was time for the weasel to come to the door.

"Huh? Do you work so hard in the sub-period? Brother Xiang's military merit book has not yet begun to be counted. ”

Yu Zhou rolled his eyes: "He still uses statistics?" The whole city was fought down by the two of us, and I'm done with it, and the rest is all his!

It's not ripe yet, don't lift it! If you run away, the taste is not so good. ”

Long He rubbed his hands, consciously sat down and opened the tableware, it seemed that he was ready to start a meeting here.

"Have you seen Brother Yu before you came?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

After packing up the case, Yu Zhou stood up and moved, opened the tent door and called Yan Heng, he said, "Go and see where the young general is, and ask him to come to dinner together." ”

Who knew that Yan Heng didn't move, and immediately replied: "My subordinates have paid attention to it before, and after the young general came back, he had already ordered that no one should disturb him." ”

Long Ji smiled: "Are we anyone?" Go quickly, ask Brother Xiang again, I can't wait. ”

Yan Heng was helpless and looked at Yu Zhou, who nodded lightly and asked casually, "Brother Yu doesn't allow anyone to disturb, what are you doing?" ”

"It's like staying in a military tent and doing nothing."

"Hmm...... Go ahead, he lost a dish today, and I have to give him one back. ”

Yan Heng left in response.

Long He spoke: "Ziji, did you do it on purpose?" ”

"What?"

"You want to persuade Brother Xiang to give up slaughtering the city, so you deliberately led us to a restaurant for the people of Chu, but he has been unable to make up his mind now, and he is in a dilemma."

Yu Zhou didn't answer, but asked, "Do you want to be slaughtered in Xiapi City?" ”

Long Ji shook his head: "This is Chu Di, of course I don't want to, but Brother Xiang wants to be powerful, I listen to him." ”

"That's it, I didn't prepare to lead him there, it's that the people in Picheng really have their hearts set on the Chu army, and I agree, but why should I take my own people to establish my authority?"

"You treat them as your own?"

"Isn't it? The city now belongs to us, and of course the officials and the people also belong to us, not to mention the people's wishes, why not their own people? ”

"Ahem——!"

Xiang Ji didn't have the habit of eavesdropping, coughed lightly to remind himself that he was coming, and didn't ask about the food after entering the door, he looked for it familiarly, and took out a few jars of wine before sitting down.

"Brother Yu......"

"I know what you're going to ask, I haven't given any orders today, and tomorrow I'll have to visit you for another day!"

Yu Zhou loves his contradictory temperament to death! I can't help but sing about it!

I didn't plan to go straight, but he was straight to the point, and he could finally put his heart in his stomach.

I've heard that after the city is broken, the chickens and dogs are not left, and I've heard that the blood of Dasuo is flowing like a river for three days, who has ever seen that after the city was defeated, there was no crime in the autumn, and after a period of time, the city was suddenly slaughtered?

No!

The longer the time, the deeper the bond between the Chu army and this city, as he slowly understands, even if he has the heart to make a big deal about the Qin army's guys in the future, Xiang Ji will not blame the whole city for this kind of thing, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, and the three chapters of the covenant are posted, and the two military divisions will not agree to self-destruct the Great Wall!

After this pass, the butcher's knife on the heads of the people of Xiapi finally disappeared, but Xiang Ji must have a bad heart, I'm afraid ......

"In the sub-period, although the people are innocent, the Qin army will not be able to spare me if he kills my robe, Xiang has decided, first use them to sacrifice the heroic spirit, and deter Xiaoxiao!"

Yu Zhou nodded along with his words: "This is as it should be, but it's better to leave some people, we haven't figured out why the Qin army is suddenly brave and fearless, and the intention to resist has become so tenacious!" ”

"Okay, then leave some."

"Eleven Kill......"

Infinite forgiveness is impossible, there is no way, so I have to retreat to the next best, but fortunately, Xiang Ji did not object, which made Yu Zhou breathe a sigh of relief.

When the crispy pot was served and eaten, for a moment, Yu Zhou suddenly felt a bit like the protagonist of One Thousand and One Nights, relying on telling stories to the king, dragging on day by day to save people's lives......

Maybe leaving the anger to time to resolve it is really a unique magic method.

Of course, it would be better if the guy in that story wasn't the king's concubine, because it always feels weird to think about yourself......

"Sub-period, your tofu ......"

"Phew, your tofu!"

Long Ji was stunned for a moment: "Uh...... I mean, how is this tofu different from before? ”

"Oh, it's tofu skin, it's just a different look, try it and see how it tastes, by the way, I want to dry this thing and salt it, try what happens."

"Pickled?"

"Yes, it will take longer to marinate and store it, and it may be able to use it as dry food for the sergeants."

When marching and fighting, there is not so much elaboration, but once you are free, tofu, a popular delicacy that has long been popular, is really a favorite of the military and civilians, a bowl of brine can turn indigestible soybeans into a delicacy, and the production process alone is enough to make people happy.

As the saying goes, if there is something good at the top, it must be very good, this thing has only experienced a change in the royal flag from the appearance to the popularization, and wherever the Chu army hits, it will follow wherever it goes, as long as there are conditions, there will never be a shortage.

Because they have long been fed up with all kinds of soy sauce as a side dish for military rations, the taste is weird and the smell is disgusting, and they lose their appetite at a glance.

Xiang Ji shook off a piece of kelp with chopsticks, sucked the noodles and put them in his mouth, chewed and swallowed and disappeared, and the bold eating appearance was still so staggering after many years.

Eating is also a way to dissolve anger, at least his face is much soothed than just now, and he stole a gap, Xiang Ji said: "In two days, I plan to visit my uncle and return to my hometown to worship my ancestors, which of you is with me?" ”

"Let's go, I haven't seen Uncle Xiang for a long time, just take a look at the geometry of the warriors under his command."

"Hmm...... Bring the back camp and the light cavalry camp with you. ”

"It's not necessary, right? What do you do with so many soldiers when you go back and forth in a day? ”

"If you don't return to your hometown, you will be like a brocade at night, of course you have to put yourself in full formation!"
