"Cooking? Hahahahaha. ”

The Nine Fragrance Dragon laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "Do you know why our Di clan has this rule? It's because we need strong people to protect our people, how to protect them when cooking? Going to fight with pots and pans? ”

With this smile, Xiao Lan, who was smiling, was also a little dull.

Obviously, Ming Tian's appearance really made him a little unacceptable, coupled with the provocation of Jiuxiang Dragon on the side, Xiao Lan also felt that Ming Tian was a little teasing him.

"Ming Tian, this is the rule of the Di clan, if you make this kind of joke again, I will turn against you."

As the head of the clan, Xiao Lan is obviously still a little majestic.

"Brother-in-law." Xiao Xinyue on the other side pulled Mingtian's sleeve, but she was very happy with a smile: "You are really joking, no wonder my sister likes you so much." ”

Looking at his team again, Xiao Xinzhu, An Luo and Yin Chan, they didn't know what to say at the moment, so they just lowered their heads and didn't speak.

Ming Tian sighed and glanced at the nine spiced dragons who were still laughing, smiling like a mentally retarded nine-spice dragon.

After a long trip, because he hadn't cooked for a while, Ming Tian almost forgot that in this era, the status of chefs is very low.

Moreover, judging from Jiuxianglong's attitude, Ming Tian knew that this guy obviously despised himself quite a lot.

"Who said that cooking can't protect your family and country?"

Ming Tian's words made all the voices on the scene stop abruptly in an instant.

Bowing his head, Ming Tian said to Xiao Lan: "As the so-called country takes grain as the grass, the people take food as the sky, and the soldiers are fighting outside, if you can't even eat a meal, how can you fight, food is the foundation of the country and the tribe!" ”

"Moreover, leading troops to fight depends on wisdom, and soldiers need wise leaders, not savages with empty brute force."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and a trace of luster bloomed in her eyes.

The eyes seemed to be as bright as an enlightenment, and he couldn't help but look the young man in front of him up and down.

Ming Tian looked at Xiao Lan and stood proudly.

These words are pretending to be forced in the ears of ordinary people, but for Xiao Lan, Ming Tian knows that he will definitely be impressed.

The starting point of the rules of the Di clan for the princess to marry the general is good, but the efficiency is too low, Xiao Lan herself is a native of the Central Plains and a royal family, to put it bluntly, she has received a high-end education, and the truth that Ming Tian said must also be recognized by him.

However, Xiao Lan agrees, Jiuxianglong is not necessarily.

Bang.

Slapping the table, Jiuxianglong said angrily: "What did you mean by what you just said?" Call me stupid? ”

"Nope."

Without the intention of joking, Ming Tian smiled: "I just think that General Jiuxiang is excellent as a general, but if I am a leader, I am more suitable than you, after all, this is also the reason why Xinzhu chose me to be the county horse, if General Jiuxiang is not convinced, he can have a competition with me." ”

When he said this, Jiuxianglong's face turned blue and he hesitated: "After all, the cook is the job of the subordinate, why should I compare cooking with you?" It's kind of a joust with me! ”

Xiao Lan, who was on the side, saw this, pondered for a moment, and finally stood up to play a round.

"You two don't fight, I'll do justice."

Putting down the wine glass, Xiao Lan's resolute face showed a trace of helplessness.

"General Jiuxiang, what Ming Tian said is not unreasonable, what the leader has to do is not to kill the enemy on the field, but to bear the lives of all the soldiers and lead them to victory."

"Mingtian, what General Jiuxiang said is not unreasonable, the Di clan wants to let the strong be the leader, this tradition that has been passed down for hundreds of years has his own intentions, and you can't abandon this tradition just because you say a few words."

"So, I'll be the master here."

Xiao Lan touched the little head of her well-behaved and cute little daughter Xiao Xinyue on the side, and announced her decision at the wine table.

"Since Mingtian and Jiuxianglong both want to marry Xinzhu, Mingtian, you are Xinzhu's favorite county horse, a talent, I feel that you are not incompetent, otherwise Xinzhu will not like you, and I, as a father, can't help but give you a chance."

"General Jiuxiang, you have fought for the Di clan for fifteen years, and you have made a lot of achievements, according to tradition, you should be the best candidate for the county horse, in this case, there is no basis for your words, it is better to compare the two of you?"

Than a game?

When Jiuxianglong and Mingtian heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Xiao Lan nodded and said with a smile: "I decided that the competition method is divided into martial arts, cooking and leading troops to fight three games, and those who can win two games, or those who win all three games are eligible to be my daughter's husband." ”

Wait a minute, I can understand the competition and cooking, what the hell is it to lead troops to fight? Who's going to be recruited?

Compared to Ming Tian's consideration, Jiuxianglong slapped the table for the first time: "Okay, since Lord Xiao said so, his subordinates must fight hard, when will the competition start?" ”

Dude, this is the fifth time you've slapped the table, and this table has an enmity with you?

Xiao Lan was silent for a moment, and finally replied: "Ming Tian can see that he is not good at fighting, and General Jiuxiang, you are not good at cooking, in order to give you enough time and create the possibility of victory, you each have ten days to prepare." ”

Ten days?

Ming Tian was slightly stunned.

Indeed, if an ordinary person is training in martial arts, if he only trains one move, as long as he works hard, he may be able to practice one move within ten days and defeat an enemy who is several times stronger than himself by surprise.

Provided, of course, that the enemy does not know.

And those who don't know how to cook, if they practice a dish hard for ten days, they can also practice a dish to perfection through study.

Xiao Lan gave ten days to leave some suspense for this competition.

But...

Looking at the amiable appearance of his future father-in-law, Ming Tian felt a little strange.

Wrong.

It always felt as if Xiao Lan had another purpose.

First of all, treat me to this aspect.

If you invited me, why did you only invite my friend, his daughter, but there was only one nine-spiced dragon to outsiders?

Theoretically speaking, if you want to invite outsiders, then other soldiers of the Di tribe should also participate in this banquet, if you don't invite outsiders, then not to mention Jiuxianglong, An Luo and Yin Chan can't go to this table.

This is counterintuitive.

Secondly, the third test he mentioned: leading troops to battle.

This article is ostensibly to test the leadership skills of me and Jiuxianglong, but it is unreasonable to look at the first two items in combination.

Ten days is to practice fighting for me, and it is a very reasonable arrangement for Jiuxianglong to practice cooking, compact and sufficient, but it is not good if you add the troops to fight.

Because Xiao Lan shouldn't know that I would lead troops to fight, he understands that the Yin family army is Yin Chan, according to his cognition, I should just be a talented and handsome young man in his mind.

Sum up.

This subtle sense of disobedience made Mingtian instinctively feel... Xiao Lan is definitely not so simple as deciding who her daughter marries.

He suggested that these three competitions should be... No, definitely for another purpose.

I haven't used my brain for a long time, it doesn't mean that Mingtian has become a fool.

On the contrary, several times of life and death wandering, Ming Tian's mind became clearer and clearer.

Ming Tian felt that there was something strange in this Di clan.

"Brother-in-law."

At this moment, Xiao Xinyue on the side pulled her sleeve.

Looking down, the future sister-in-law was giggling: "Come on, brother-in-law, I'm optimistic about you." Hee-hee. ”
