The flames licked the darkness, and the firewood made a small sound in the firelight.

The lingering aroma gradually drifts away with the wind, stimulating everyone's taste buds. Whether it was a civilian official like Wen Tianxiang or the soldiers of the Tianwu Army scattered all over the place, they all subconsciously swallowed their saliva. In the past few days, people have not left the saddle of the road, no matter who has hated the hard and cold dry food, at this time to be able to eat roast chicken in this deserted village, it is definitely a blessing in life, and the most exciting thing for them is that this roast chicken is not roasted by ordinary people, but the Tianwu Army is commanded by the four compartments of the envoy Ye Zhijun.

It's just that at this time, Ye Yingwu's eyes were staring at the roast chicken, his saliva was flowing, and he didn't have the posture of the commander of the Tianwu Army at all.

A total of more than a dozen pheasants did not stay, half of them were wrapped in mud and buried in the fire to roast, while the other half were plucked out of the chicken feather rack and roasted on the fire, finally did not waste the firewood that was collected with great difficulty.

Ye Yingwu, who had shown his skills in the picnic and barbecue parties in his previous life, naturally had a place to use at this time, and under his personal command and operation, even a few soldiers of the Hundred Battles were already able to master the fire well.

However, the fly in the ointment is that thousands of miles of Mercedes Benz have no seasoning on his body, but in this wilderness, he can have fragrant roast chicken to eat, even if God blesses, it is difficult to have too high requirements.

Watching the firelight licking the chicken, Ye Yingwu sighed softly, he was in this Shen family's hometown, it was impossible to have no guilt in his heart, but a person's loss could not be expressed to these elated soldiers around him, so Ye Yingwu always had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but people with a little experience could see that this smile was indescribably stiff.

Wen Tianxiang, who knew it well, and several soldiers of the six gates who accompanied the army were silent, although they could hide their inner depression through exhaustion, but after all, they could not disperse the dark clouds that permeated their hearts, after all, they were witnesses of the tragedy.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and finally blew away the bursts of heat, and in the afternoon and dusk, hundreds of soldiers and horses from the hundred battles had been tossing in the small stream in the west of the village, and Ye Yingwu also had no consciousness of being a superior at all, and dragged Wen Tianxiang and a group of ten generals and Yu Hou into the water together.

However, in the eyes of the soldiers of the hundred battles, it is very common, because Ye Yingwu has not eaten and washed with them at one time, when the Tianwu army was training in Xingguo, Ye Yingwu ate and lived with the hundred battles.

It wasn't until the soldiers were tired that they went ashore one after another, washed their dusty clothes at will, and then sat around a small courtyard in the west and waited for Ye Yingwu to roast pheasants.

Ye Yingwu sniffed the aroma in the air, then tried to reach out and pinch the softness and hardness of the nearest roast chicken, and pretended to hesitate mysteriously for a moment under the expectant gaze of the Tianwu Army soldiers, before he smiled and said, "You can eat it." ”

Before the words fell, the commander of the four compartments of the Tianwu Army directly pounced on the two roast chickens in front of him without any image, threw one to Wen Tianxiang who was near the left, and took one himself, and Ye Yuanjun led by example, and the soldiers of the Tianwu Army naturally no longer hesitated, Jiang Tie and Yang Bao screamed and pounced with a group of people, many ten generals and Yu Hou were not willing to lag behind, and they had already thrown their usual dignity and humility out of the clouds, and a few bold ones actually went to grab the one in Ye Yingwu's hand.

"Yang Bao, Jiang Tie! You two bastards, come over to Lao Tzu, everything in Lao Tzu's hands will be robbed! Ye Yingwu relied on a group of soldiers after all, he didn't dare to collide with Wen Tianxiang, who was quite literate and was once their boss, and hid behind him and shouted, "Look at you, you can't grab a chicken, it's really embarrassing to Lao Tzu!" ”

For Ye Yingwu hiding in the corner behind him and instigating his subordinates, Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but laugh and casually ripped off a chicken leg from the roast chicken in his hand, and then stuffed most of the other chicken into the hands of the nearest Tianwu sergeant, and after a while, the soldier became the focus of everyone's scramble, and Yang Bao and the others screamed and pounced again.

"The gains outweigh the losses, Song Rui, you can't gain more than you lose!" Although the people who came to grab the chicken were led away, but this was inevitably too much of a loss, Ye Yingwu gnawed on the roast chicken in his hand distressedly, and did not forget to mutter.

The roast chicken on the fire rack was almost robbed after a while, but at least Ye Yingwu's performance in the hundred battles was still very satisfactory, and the ten generals and Yu Hou all showed enough leadership and command ability, and the distribution of soldiers of different strengths and weaknesses under their command was quite reasonable, so in the end, basically everyone ate a lot.

This means that all battles are in the melee, and they still have the ability to disperse and fight without chaos!

glanced at Yang Bao and Jiang Tie appreciatively, these two goods suffered from the loss of no direct subordinates, so they could only fight single-handedly, and in the end, Ye Yingwu took pity on them, and one person shared a large piece of chicken, eating a trench and growing wisdom, these two guys also followed Ye Yingwu to hide beside Wen Tianxiang and gnawed on it, without saying a word.

"It's pretty much the same down there." Ye Yingwu said softly, the best way at this time is for him to join forces with Yang Bao and Jiang Tie. Yang Bao and Jiang Tie are both smart people, and they nodded secretly at the same time, but in fact, they expressed deep doubts about Ye Yingwu's method of wrapping the chicken in soil and leaves and roasting it (calling Huaji as a famous dish of the Su Gang, in fact, the age of its appearance is no longer examinable, but it will definitely not be earlier than the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and there should be no theoretical basis for the old man Jin to advance it to the Southern Song Dynasty, so it is regarded as the first time that Huaji is called Huaji. - Author's note).

Although they expressed skepticism, it didn't mean that these hungry wolves would forget the wild pheasant that Ye Yingwu forcibly separated and buried half of it in the ground, and when the chicken in his hand was so-so, he looked at the pile of flames with a pair of green eyes.

"Put out the fire." Ye Yingwu waved his hand, and several soldiers had already brought water with buckets that had been turned out of the corner I don't know, and with Ye Yingwu's order, buckets of water had to be poured down to cover their faces.

Ye Yingwu didn't care about the rising smoke, his hands dug away the ashes of firewood and the blackened earth, and dug out the tightly wrapped black iron eggs inside. But this time no one grabbed it, everyone looked at Ye Yingwu quietly, there were so many people present, and there was really no one who knew how to eat this thing.

There was still residual warmth outside the chicken, so Ye Yingwu picked up his short knife and carefully slashed it on the dirt wrapped around the chicken. The shells of the two petals of black soil separated, and the tempting aroma slowly spread, even more fragrant than just now!

It is worthy of being the well-known Ye Yanei in Willow Lane, 36 Flower Street, Lin'an, that is, he can eat and play. Including Wen Tianxiang, everyone subconsciously sighed. As the shell parted and the chicken feathers fell one after another, the tender chicken was finally revealed.

This time, without waiting for Ye Yingwu to greet him, the soldiers of the hundred battles who were waiting for the battle rushed forward. However, he had long expected that such a situation would occur, Ye Yingwu casually picked up the two black chickens called flower chickens that he had just dug up next to him and threw them to Wen Tianxiang, but after a while, Ye Yingwu found that the one he was holding at the beginning had disappeared without a trace.

casually took the chicken leg given by Wen Tianxiang, Ye Yingwu took a bite hard, and he didn't care about the heat, but he immediately found a problem: "Where did Yang Xu's little girl go?" ”

Wen Tianxiang was stunned, and looked around, they were all big men who were crazy about snatching chicken, and there was a shadow of a girl there? However, a subordinate of the six doors who followed Ye Yingwu's side hesitated for a moment and said: "Qi Qi envoy, Commander Yang led the horse and went north along the river, and did not let his subordinates follow, and said that he would not tell others. ”

Ye Yingwu was stunned, girls love to be clean, I'm afraid they went to bathe in the upper reaches of the stream alone. But when she returns, I'm afraid there won't be even half a chicken left. Ye Yingwu took a deep breath, as a righteous gentleman, how could he watch the girl's family starve outside?

Seeing Ye Yingwu casually pick up a rooster called Huaji and walk outside, Wen Tianxiang casually looked up at the starry sky, and pretended not to see the back of the other direction leaving. And Jiang Tie and Yang Bao, who were gnawing on their hands full of oil, looked at each other and smiled, and continued to chew their heads.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The stars hang upside down, and the grass is desolate.

Ye Yingwu walked forward with difficulty along the stream in the west of the village, but fortunately, because of the rain yesterday, there were still some muddy grounds, leaving shallow horseshoe prints, which have been guiding the direction, otherwise even the dignified Ye Envoy would have to get lost in this swirling stream and barren grass.

Throughout the ages, it is natural for women to love beauty, and only when all the soldiers are staring at the roast chicken and the sky is gloomy, Yang Xu has the courage to sneak to the upper reaches of this stream to bathe.

Looking around, it was as clear as promised, and the courage of this little lady was not small.

I don't know how many twists and turns, until I walked to the bottom of the hill where the stream came from, the sound of water came to my face, and there was a white line hanging on a big rock in front of me, which turned out to be a small waterfall. Ye Yingwu secretly admired the magical beauty of nature, although this small waterfall is not as magnificent as Huangguoshu Waterfall, and it is not even as big as the most common waterfall with a drop of two or three zhang, but it is in this winding place that a small waterfall suddenly appears, and there is a hole in the sky.

"Qing'er, be good, don't make trouble." There was a faint sound of a woman talking and playing in the water ahead. Ye Yingwu took a light breath and turned sideways to hide his figure behind a bunch of chaotic times.

The moonlight sprinkled on the waterhole under the waterfall, and the girl with a graceful figure stood in the waterhole, her thin clothes were already soaked, and she held a brush in her hand to gently scrub the mane of this mount, and the saber and neat and clean clothes were piled on the stone not far from Ye Yingwu, and the coat she was wearing today had been washed and spread out on the stone opposite. Unexpectedly, this little girl actually carried a change of clothes with her, Ye Yingwu pursed his lips.

"Qing'er, you said that we are going to Luzhou, will we come back safely?" Yang Xu gently stroked the mount, and the horse snorted lightly, and stepped on the water at will, splashing countless splashes. Yang Xu pretended to be angry and patted the neck of the mount, and then said to himself, "What kind of strength does this Ye Envoy have, how can he make so many men in armor go to the soup for it・・・・・・ and how he is determined to form the Six Doors and the Jinyi Guard, I really can't see through him, but it's no wonder, if she sees through it, wouldn't that little woman also be the commander of the four compartments of the Tianwu Army." ”

Ye Yingwu smiled bitterly, it was interesting for this little girl to talk to herself, but such a scene was really rare.

Gritting his teeth, Ye Yingwu cautiously walked back, if he didn't eat the flower chicken in his hand, he was afraid that it would be cold. After walking about fifty steps to the south, Ye Yingwu turned his head again, pretending to be here for the first time, and walked forward again with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and shouted loudly:

"Little Lady Yang, Su Niang, are you here?!"

The sound came from far and near, pulling the mount aside, and Yang Xu, who had just unbuttoned his jacket, was startled, and then shrank into the corner of the big stone where the waterfall fell, and Ye Yingwu's footsteps approached little by little with the sound.

It's just that the clothes are so far away from here! Yang Xu gritted his teeth, secretly hating why he walked so deep into the pool on impulse, and in desperation, he could only shout:

"Ye Envoy-kun! Subordinates are here, please don't worry! ”

Ye Yingwu smiled secretly in his heart: I already knew you were there. However, as a playboy seven hundred years later, how can he retreat: "I finally found you, fortunately there is a horse's hoof mark on this ground, otherwise I will go back and call everyone out!" Ahead is the waterhole waterfall, what are you doing there, don't do anything! ”

Yang Xu's silver teeth gritted hard, what can I do in the pool, can you still not understand! However, how could Yang Xu be willing to say it honestly, and he could only say for a long time: "If your subordinates are fine, please go back." ”

"There's also a flower chicken here, which was specially stayed." Ye Yingwu said loudly, "How about so-and-so put you on that stone?" ”

The surrounding rocks are higher than the waterhole, and I will not be seen by you on any stone you put on. Yang Xu secretly thought, but at this moment, there was a faint sound of water in front of him, but the sound was very small, and it was obviously not the sound of people wading in the water.

Subconsciously looked sideways, and immediately Yang Xu's face turned pale.

A bowl-thick anaconda was slowly entering the water from the other shore, trying to swim in this direction, the curved snake was full of gorgeous patterns, Yang Xu knew that it meant that the snake was quite poisonous. And it seems to sense the breath of prey here, and the anaconda is slowly swimming towards this side.

Yang Xu's mount also spotted the approaching creature, and walked back and forth in the water restlessly, as if trying to urge his master to hurry away.

However, in this water, how to outrun the anaconda, and just leave, wouldn't it be clear to Ye Yingwu outside. If you don't come early, you won't come late, but at this time, I don't know if this anaconda has an enmity with his previous life.

It's just that these thoughts only flashed in Yang Xu's mind, and they were fleeting, because the anaconda had already swam straight in this direction, and the head of the snake with a copper bell poked out of the water and spit out bright red snake hyacinth. Almost subconsciously, Yang Xu curled up behind the stone and let out an almost instinctive scream.

And Ye Yingwu, who didn't know what was going on, was startled by this scream, but he also knew that something must have happened, so he threw the chicken casually, and the short blade was already out of the sheath. Since Tongshan County was attacked by Yang Xu at night, Ye Yingwu has really been short knife.

When Ye Yingwu jumped on the boulder, the anaconda was already almost in front of Yang Su, and he didn't care if it would hurt Yang Su, Ye Yingwu's short crossbow in his other hand snapped suddenly, thank God Ye Yannei didn't play with the bow and crossbow bought at a high price after seven hundred years, so this random arrow was finally accurate, and the sharp arrow tore the skin and flesh of the back half of the anaconda's body, and the black and red blood flowed.

This is also thanks to the fact that this is the Great Song Dynasty, and the sophistication of bows and crossbows and arrows has reached its peak in this dynasty, otherwise it is really difficult to penetrate the rough-skinned anaconda at such a distance. The anaconda was in pain, and knew that this was just a piece of cake in front of him, and the real danger was behind him, so he hurriedly took advantage of the turbidity of the water to circle the thick snake body, and swam quickly in the direction of Ye Yingwu.

Watching the anaconda leave, Yang Xu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked down the waterfall to the place where the clothes were placed.

And Ye Yingwu quickly threw away all the inner and outer tops, nonsense, it was just dried, and if it got wet, it would be more than worth the loss, and it was too late to see Yang Xu's graceful posture at this time, this guy in front of him was really a little tricky. Ye Yingwu took a breath lightly, the short crossbow in his hand was quickly pulled, and three or four arrows roared into the water, but because the speed of the anaconda was getting faster and faster, only one arrow did not enter the front half of it, and the other arrows all grazed the body, and at most a few snake scales were removed.
