This 100-table banquet is naturally not only used to entertain an envoy group of 100 people.

In fact, many generals of the Changding Army, as well as the old people, officials and gentry from various townships and counties of Tianshui County, have come.

Inviting them to join the feast was to reassure them and tell them that the Changding Army would not attack them. The second is to let them know the strength of the Changding Army, and let them know that the Changding Army is allied with the Southern Barbarian Army, so that they can settle down and become more centered.

The wooden elephant and the others began to hold their own identities and think about the alliance and marriage, but after a few sips of fruit wine, they forgot all these things, and it was no longer possible to resist the temptation of fine food and wine.

The other Nanban people didn't have much etiquette, but when they saw that Mu Xiang and Yang Feng took the lead in eating hard, the other Nanban army envoys even let go of their bellies and ate them.

Nanban mainly eats meat, especially the five-grade grandmasters such as Mu Xiang, whose digestion ability is extremely amazing, but he eats 100 catties of meat in Japan, but he eats boiled and burned white meat, and he almost wants to vomit.

If you don't have to eat to replenish enough abilities and improve your own cultivation, you will definitely not be able to support it.

For Mu Xiang and Yang Feng, eating has become a task, not enjoyment, once upon a time after tasting such a delicious food with both color and flavor, this eating suddenly could not stop.

Fortunately, Chu He knew that the warrior had a huge amount of food, and he had prepared enough food in advance, and the roast sheep and roast pigs were constantly delivered, and all kinds of soy sauce seasonings were also sufficient, so that the 100-person envoys of the Southern Barbarian Army had eaten happily.

Qinghe Village can cook such a delicacy, which is naturally inseparable from the Chu River.

When Chu He came to Qinghe Village, as a later generation who never got tired of eating, it was difficult for him to accept the simple food here.

Later, when the Chu family made a fortune, Chu He immediately improved the cooking method, told the cook the cooking method he knew, and configured many necessary sauces and auxiliary materials.

There is no shortage of raw materials in this world, what is lacking is just an idea.

The materials here are much more precious than those of the earth in later generations, and the wild game is ordinary, such as the tender black jade snake, the wild wild Bazhen chicken, the large heavenly shiitake mushroom, the delicious silver scale fish, etc., not to mention the ordinary ingredients such as wild boar and bison.

Such excellent ingredients, combined with cooking methods such as stir-frying, stewing, stewing, braised and so on, the dishes cooked are by no means something that people of this era can withstand.

In order to satisfy the appetite, Chu He even specially asked the steelmaking yard to create a few sets of kitchenware!

Not to mention the people of the Southern Barbarians, it is the gentry of Tianshui County invited by Chu He, these rich and noble families, usually pay attention to food and clothing, but they have never seen such cooked dishes, they are all full of oil, round stomachs, and they can't care about their posture and bearing.

However, there is a difference between the preferences of the Nanban and the gentry, the Nanban prefers to eat those stir-fried vegetables with vegetarian vegetables, such as stir-fried fat beef with mushrooms, green vegetables and meat slices, etc., while the rich gentry prefer to eat meat, such as spiced roast lamb, braised lion's head, sweet and sour tenderloin, etc.

The wooden elephant has a big appetite, and it has been served several times in a row on the desk, and he is afraid that there will be no fifty or sixty catties of rice and vegetables and meat in his stomach, and his stomach will be propped up after eating.

Although he can eat 100 catties of meat a day, he can't eat it all in one meal, and he can't eat dozens of catties of rice and meat.

Mu Xiang looked at the food that had just been delivered, reluctantly put down his chopsticks, and couldn't help but pick up the pottery bowl, took a small sip of fruit wine, looked at Chu He with a somewhat complicated face, and sighed: "Today, Mu Mou has finally gained knowledge, and the food can still be concocted like this, and what Mu Mou ate in the past was simply dregs!"

"If you can eat this kind of food every day, I'm afraid your cultivation can improve a lot. ”

He didn't say this to praise Chu He.

As long as you are a human being, you need to eat to supplement your nutrients and energy, and the more advanced your cultivation, the more you need food.

A seven-rank god of war like Huang Zhong Ganning, just absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, it is difficult to meet the needs of the body, and it is never too much to eat a cow every day, and it can even be said that these strong people, in addition to cultivation, eat and sleep.

The problem is that you have to eat hundreds of catties of meat in a meal, even for the seven-rank god of war, you don't need to chew at all, you can easily digest it if you swallow it directly, and there won't be much residue left, and it doesn't take too much time to eat, but in this way, eating becomes a kind of torment, so what kind of food to enjoy.

If the food becomes so delicious, the appetite increases, the more you eat, and the more energy you accumulate, it is natural for your cultivation to improve.

You must know that what these strong people eat is not ordinary food, it is the flesh and blood of demon beasts of four or five grades or even higher, and the energy contained in one meal is enough for ordinary martial artists to cultivate for half a year.

If you have a better appetite, you can eat an extra thirty or fifty catties to be worth a day's penance.

After the wooden elephant sighed, he sighed again: "The food is delicious, but unfortunately the fly in the ointment is that there is too little wine!"

The fruit wine brewed by the Chu River has an excellent effect for low-grade martial artists and literati, but for the wood elephants, it is just a simple appetite, and the energy contained in the fruit wine still cannot be compared with those high-quality demon beast meat.

Chu He and other commanders of the Changding army were at the same table with Mu Xiang and other chief envoys of the Southern Barbarian envoys, and when he heard Mu Xiang say this, Chu He smiled: "Although the wine is good, it is not easy to brew, and the Chang Ding army also needs fruit wine to help improve their cultivation, so they don't have much reserves." ”

"Alcohol is easy to get drunk, General Mu and General Yang are responsible for the heavy tasks entrusted by General Meng, if they get drunk, won't they delay the big thing. If the two generals like it, before leaving, Chu will definitely offer a hundred catties of fruit wine. ”

Although Yang Feng is a five-grade grandmaster and a general of the Southern Barbarian Army, when he arrived in Qinghe Village and saw the power of the Chu River, he naturally did not dare to take it big, and laughed at this time: "No wonder the Changding Army is brave and invincible, with the help of this fruit wine, I am afraid that everyone can achieve the realm of martial artists." ”

"It's just that a hundred catties of fruit wine is enough for Yang to drink, since Chu Shuai can sell steel soldiers to our Southern Barbarian Army, I wonder if this fruit wine can give us some?"

Mu Xiang also had a straight face, he still knew his responsibilities, and he also knew the true meaning of fruit wine.

It is no wonder that the Changding Army was able to defeat the 200,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army with more than 10,000 soldiers, and fruit wine was definitely one of the great factors.

Fruit wine can improve the quality and strength of soldiers, which can truly exert the power of steel weapons.

Although the physical fitness of the Southern Barbarian Army is excellent, no one will dislike their army to become stronger, if there is fruit wine to help, and then get more steel from the Chu River, the Southern Barbarian Army can even form an army of 10,000 people of steel that will not be much worse than the Changding Army.

"After Chu Shuai and our young master Meng got married, we are a family, presumably Chu Shuai will not be stingy with this bit of fruit wine. ”

The wooden elephant looked at Chu He with a smile and said.

As soon as Mu Xiang's words came out, Jiang Wei, Chu Wu, Chu Qianzhong, Wu Shizhu and other generals of the Standing Army all turned their eyes to Chu He and looked at Chu He eagerly.

The gentry and others at the banquet on the martial arts arena also calmed down and looked over here.

They are now all people under the rule of Chu He, and many of their children are serving in the Changding Army, so they naturally hope that the greater the power of Chu He, the better.

Even if it is Wu Shizhu, although his expression is a little complicated, he also understands that it is impossible for someone like Chu He to marry only one wife.

On the contrary, the more wives Chu He marries and gives birth to heirs, the more stable their future will be, otherwise once Chu He is defeated, no one will inherit everything from the Chang Ding Army, and the Chang Ding Army will definitely be torn apart, and it will be impossible to protect themselves, let alone participate in the battle for the world.

It can be said that the Changding Army was established with Chu River as the center, except for Chu He's direct heirs, no one will be convinced by these generals, including Chu Dabao's nephew.

For the chief general of the Changding Army, an alliance with Meng Huo, Chu He married Meng Qingtong, which is the best choice at the moment, and it would be the best if Chu He could give birth to an heir with Meng Qingtong.

It is not easy for women to have children at a young age, but there is no problem for men, anyway, Meng Qingtong is several years older than Chu He, and it is not a problem to help Chu He give birth to an heir.

For these people in the mountains and wilderness, they don't care about Meng Qingtong's Nanban bloodline, as long as it is the blood of Chu He, anyway, in the future, Chu He will take a Han woman and give birth to other heirs, and then make plans.

Chu He sighed secretly in his heart, what should come is always coming.

He pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "General Meng is willing to marry Qingtong to Chu, and Qianyuan has no reason to refuse. ”

"It's just that Qianyuan is still young now, so he plans to marry Miss Meng first, and then marry Miss Meng into the Chu family after Chu's coming-of-age ceremony, I don't know what General Mu and General Yang think?"

"As for the fruit wine, it's not that a part of it can't be given to General Meng, it's just that a part of the precious medicinal materials needed to make the fruit wine is needed, and our Tianshui County is a little insufficient, so I'm afraid that we need to bother General Meng. ”

The implication is that if you want fruit wine, you have to exchange it for precious medicinal materials.

Mu Xiang was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Chu He to put forward the idea of marriage, and after glancing at Yang Feng, Mu Xiang said in a deep voice: "There should be no problem with the matter of marriage." ”

"However, I don't know if Chu Shuai can go to Qinzhou in person to hire him? Don't hide it from Chu Shuai, our king, I heard that Chu Shuai is young and brave, and his qualifications are unparalleled in the world, so I wanted to meet Chu Shuai for a long time. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed slightly.

As the commander of the first army, Chu He has been exposed to the world, I don't know how many people have different intentions for Chu He, once Chu He leaves Tianshui County, I am afraid that it will attract the covetousness of the strong, and there is a danger to my life.

Chu He has a good seven-grade combat power, but this requires the help of the army, if it is out of the Changding army, even if he uses the summer quatrain and summons the overlord heroic spirit to possess the body, it is only the combat power of the six-grade at most.

According to the rules, Chu He does not need to come forward in person, but only needs to send someone over to make a dowry, in fact, many couples have never met before they get married.

It is impossible for the wooden elephant not to arouse the suspicion of the commander of the Changding army.

Mu Xiang and Yang Feng naturally saw the different colors on everyone's faces, but they didn't say anything, just looked at Chu He.

Chu He pondered slightly, and then said with a smile: "Chu has also admired General Meng for a long time, since this is the case, Chu will go to Qinzhou City!"

No matter how gorgeous the words are, they are not as convincing as the actual actions, and when they heard Chu He agree to go to Qinzhou, Mu Xiang and Yang Feng immediately smiled: "Chu Shuai rest assured, Mu dares to guarantee with the head of the item, and our Southern Barbarian Army will definitely protect Chu Shuai thoroughly!"

When the generals of the Changding army heard that Chu He agreed, they naturally didn't say much, but their hearts were all turning to see how to ensure the safety of Chu He, of course they couldn't completely put the safety of Chu River in the hands of the Southern Barbarian Army.

Next, Chu He let people serve fruit wine again, and this wine feast was enjoyed by the guests and hosts.

In the evening, the main leaders of the Changding Army gathered together again, and Chu Qianzhong said with some worry: "Chu Shuai, do you really want to go to Qinzhou?"

"Although Meng Shu said that he wanted to form an alliance with us, but now the alliance has not been made, and it is not safe, in case it is a trap and leads Chu Shuai over, he will not be despised by the world. Chu Shuai had to be guarded. ”

did not really make a covenant to lead the Chu River to Qinzhou to take the Chu River, which is called leading the snake out of the hole, but it is the way of calculation. If you make a move against Chu He after making an alliance, you will be treacherous and will be spurned by the people of the world.

The two approaches are very different in the eyes of the world.

Chu He smiled faintly: "General Qianzhong doesn't need to worry, I will take a thousand Qianyuan Guards to Qinzhou, and walk with General Long He, even if the Southern Barbarian Army really has two hearts, it will definitely be able to return to Tianshui County safely." ”

Now the leaders under the command of Chu He, except for a few such as Chu Wen, are mainly military generals, and those civil officials of Tianshui County who surrender to sincerity cannot enter the core of the Changding army, so they are all called generals.

Of course, most of the generals are surnamed Chu, and it is easy to misunderstand by calling General Chu directly, so they are simply called by their names.

As for the title of Third Uncle Chu Blacksmith in the past, it is inappropriate now.

Qin Shengnan glanced at Chu He with complicated eyes, and it was no longer easy to treat Chu He with his previous attitude, so he said in a deep voice: "Qianyuan, the teacher is relatively familiar with the situation in Qinzhou, so it is better to let the teacher accompany you on a trip." ”

Chu He hurriedly said, "Disciple, thank you for your concern. ”

"But it's better for Shizun to stay in Tianshui County. The disciple had just gotten a piece of news, and he was about to tell the master. ”

Qin Shengnan's willow eyebrows frowned slightly: "What's the news?"

Chu He said: "Not long ago, a hunter in Beidu County informed his disciple of the news that he had found a golden-veined dragon beard grass in the Yin Wind Cave before. ”

Chu He paused, and then continued: "It's just that this dragon beard grass is sleeping with a huge demon beast, according to Orion, I am afraid that it is a demon beast of three or four grades, once a foreign object enters the range of ten zhang, the demon beast will wake up, this Orion does not dare to covet it, so I offer this news." ”

It is naturally impossible for this hunter from Beidu County to find the Chu River in person, and it was passed on by the officials below, and the process naturally does not need to be detailed.

This is also the benefit of mastering a certain amount of power, those who have heavy treasures, or have all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, they can't use it, and they often give it to powerful people as a step forward.
