Chapter 109: Sending troops to Xiliang

Seeing that even Bai Zhili was attracted by Li Ru's dishes and put down his chopsticks.

As the organizer of this tooth festival, Li Xiao couldn't hold his face.

Under the pretext of going to the toilet, he turned his head and found the shopkeeper, and secretly stuffed him with five taels of silver.

The shopkeeper took the silver quietly, his face was wrinkled into a ball, and he smiled a flower: "Sixth prince, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it, it's really embarrassing to be so polite to the little one!"

Li Xiao snorted coldly, glanced at him disdainfully, and said lightly: "Let me ask you, you have to answer truthfully, what kind of dishes did that person make?"

"Which person?" the shopkeeper said suspiciously, Li Xiao pointed to the direction of the back kitchen, he suddenly realized, but he shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "It's not a secret, the little one has never seen such a cooking technique, and as for what kind of dish, I don't know!"

"You don't know?" Li Xiao suddenly became angry, glared at the shopkeeper, gritted his teeth and said: "You are also a shopkeeper in size, why can't you even make a single dish here?"

The shopkeeper was speechless, only lowered his head and groped for the heavy silver in his sleeve.

At this moment, Li Ru walked out with a big pot of stew, and when he saw Li Xiao, he smiled and said, "Yo, little Liuzi, you can eat it so quickly?"

Li Xiao secretly said in his heart, when he heard this, he pursed his lips, and pretended to be disdainful: "What kind of boiled fire, I have never heard of it, and the taste is like that, big brother, you can enjoy it yourself!"

"Oh, that's a pity! borrowed, borrowed!" Seeing that he was so hard-mouthed, Li Ru sneered in his heart, so that the bad general deliberately lifted the lid of the boiled fire when he passed by.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance permeated, and everyone who smelled it moved their index fingers.

Li Xiao was about to drool immediately, his eyes widened, his eyes were fixed on the boiled fire, and he couldn't move away.

"Little Liuzi, you let me go!"

Hearing Li Ru's words, Li Xiao subconsciously wiped his mouth, shook his head and said, "No, eldest brother, you have such a good thing, how can you not share it with my younger brother and me?"

"Yo, who said just now that you have never heard of this boiled fire, and it tastes like that?" Li Ru hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "What, now you want food from me?"

Hearing the word "ask for food", Li Xiaoxiu's fair face turned red, but the desire for the boiled fire in his heart was already greater than his face, so he stiffened his neck and did not take half a step back.

Seeing this, Li Ru shook his head with a wry smile, and said generously: "Okay, I won't bother with you anymore, since you want to eat, let's serve it together!"

Li Xiao smiled at this time, put on the table, only a chopstick, and was addicted, Li Ru in order to achieve the effect of stimulating and driving away the cold, the pepper pepper was put in, Li Xiao's spicy face was red, and his lips seemed to be coated with rouge, but he still put chopsticks.

He gasped for air, ate the stewed fire, and was reluctant to stop.

Seeing him like this, Li Ru personally poured a glass of water and handed it over, Li Xiao took it, his expression was a little surprised, it seemed that he didn't expect Li Ru to pour water for him so kindly.

Seeing his surprised look, Li Ru glared and scolded: "What, as your eldest brother, I'll pour you a glass of water and care about it, isn't it normal?"

As he spoke, he said bitterly: "Sixth, eldest brother, I really don't know what to say, you said that we were born from the same root, why are we in a hurry to fry each other? You and I brothers should be the same to the outside world, but now because of a little misunderstanding and internal strife, if this spreads, what should my father think of us?"

Li Xiao had a steaming boiled fire in his mouth, and when he heard this, he just nodded, and said vaguely: "The eldest brother is reasonable, and I am really ashamed of the younger brother, since the words are on this!"

"I promise you, I won't go against you in the future, our brothers work together, and their profits will be broken!"

Seeing his absent-minded appearance when he spoke, knowing that he was just casually perfunctory, Li Ru sighed lightly in his heart, but remained silent on the surface, and said lightly: "Even so, that's the best!

"The second batch of refugees has already entered the city, see you at the training ground in two hours, let's distribute these refugees!"

Li Xiao agreed to come down.

Two hours later, the training ground.

The second group of refugees stood in a phalanx under Zhao Shiyuan's organization, barely neat and looked much more refreshing.

The overall quality of this group of refugees is better than the previous one, and most of them are young and strong adults, who are used to train into the army and defend the border gates.

thought it was another-for-tat battle to grab people, but to Li Ru's surprise, Li Xiao didn't seem much interested in seeing this overall high-quality refugee, not only uncharacteristically let Li Ru choose his favorite refugees to replenish his armaments.

And when it was his turn to choose, he only chose a small number of people and didn't want more, this time, Li Ru felt a little weird, and couldn't help but wonder: "Sixth, what do you mean by this?"

When Li Xiao heard this, he said with a straight face: "Big brother, I have a lot of emotion about the heartfelt words I said during the banquet before, my brother is going to be humble to each other, I have already chosen a lot before, I naturally don't want to compete too much for this batch!"

Li Ru was puzzled in his heart, but seeing his serious appearance, it didn't seem to be a fake, so he relaxed his vigilance and didn't think about it more.

recruited the rest of the people under his command, seeing this large group of refugees, Li Ru was a little at a loss.

With so many people joining, it seems like a good thing on the surface, but in fact, this back and forth, the agreed one-month competition date is about to be halfway through, and this group of new refugees lacks training and cannot participate in the competition at all.

On the contrary, there are so many more mouths to eat, and it is a big expense in terms of supplies.

If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, Li Ru didn't realize this problem for the time being, and when he reacted, it was two days later, when Chu Xuan came to the door.

When Chu Xuan came to the door, Li Ru was making fun of Yu Xiaoshuai, seeing him like this, Chu Xuan hated iron and said: "When is it, are you still in the mood to play dogs?"

When Xiao Shuai heard this, he screamed a few times dissatisfied, but Li Ru smiled and said, "What's the matter, I'm shocked!"

"What's wrong?" Seeing his indifferent appearance, Chu Xuan said angrily: "The supply is interrupted, if you don't think of a way, you won't be able to open the pot tonight!"

"If you can't open the pot, you can't open the pot!" Li Ru said casually, and after reacting, he jumped up and exclaimed: "! You say we have no food? How is it possible?"

Chu Xuan snorted coldly, glared at Li Ru, and then explained what happened.

It turned out that supplies have always been delivered every half a month, but today is already the day of sending supplies, Chu Xuan led people to keep watch from early in the morning to noon, and no supplies were delivered.

sent someone to inquire, but there was no result, so I found Li Ru.
