Everyone looked at the boiling water in the cauldron and looked at each other.

"Lord, are you planning to show off your cooking skills in front of us?"

Guo Jia guessed.

"But we don't want to eat boiled vegetables."

Ma Chao protested.

"Yes, what's so delicious about boiled vegetables, we still want to eat stir-fried vegetables!"

Ma Dai also chimed in.

Hua Xiong smiled, "Okay, since you say so, don't cry and beg me later." ”

Seeing that the water in the pot was already boiling, Hua Xiong threw the hot pot seasoning obtained by the lottery into the country.

After a while, an enticing aroma came out of the pot.

Everyone only felt their index fingers move.

The sound of swallowing saliva comes and goes.

Hua Xiong put the meat and vegetables into the pot first, then picked up the seasoning next to him, and made a seasoning for himself.

After a while, the ingredients in the pot were cooked, and Hua Xiong picked up a piece of meat.

He dipped some spice and put it in his mouth.

"Hmmm......"

Hua Xiong couldn't help but let out a soothing sound.

On such a cold day, it is still snowing, eating hot pot, is there anything more comfortable than this?

The people next to him were extremely greedy.

"My lord, what is this called?"

You Heng asked.

"Well, this is a new way of eating that I invented, called hot pot."

Hua Xiong smiled,

"Okay, don't be stunned, sit down and eat together."

When they heard this, they all sat down.

But Hua Xiong smiled at Ma Chao and Ma Dai,

"Didn't you two just say that you don't like to eat boiled vegetables, so let's watch us eat."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Ma Chao and the brothers and ate hot pot by himself.

According to Huaxiong's eating method, everyone adjusted the seasoning and picked up the ingredients in the pot.

When vegetables and meat, wrapped in hot pot base and matching seasonings,

The wonderful taste and aroma almost made everyone swallow their tongues.

"This ...... It's delicious, isn't it? ”

Guo Jia said as he gobbled it up, sweating profusely and his face flushed.

"It's spicy, it's so enjoyable!"

Gao Shun stuck out his tongue, but still felt a little unpleasant, and picked up a piece of lamb soaked in chili oil and put it in his mouth.

Ma Chao and Ma Dai on the side watched with their eyes in disdain, and they were about to cry.

Hua Xiong smiled at this time,

"Do you know it's wrong now?"

"I know, I don't dare to doubt the lord in the future."

Ma Chao and Ma Dai nodded like chickens.

"Alright, sit down."

Hua Xiong waved his hand.

The two hurriedly sat down, picked up the chopsticks next to them, and began to eat hungry tigers.

"That piece of mutton is mine, don't grab it!"

"Hey, where's the potato I just put in?"

Although it was a cold night with snow, after eating hot pot for a while, everyone was sweating profusely and was addicted.

"The lord can always come up with some new tricks, this hot pot is really enjoyable!"

Jia Xu laughed.

"Yes, if there is another bottle of Moutai, it will be even more enjoyable."

Yu Ban said cheekily.

Hua Xiong laughed and beckoned Huzi to take out a box of Moutai from the house.

Everyone drank happily, and Ma Chao even sang the songs of the Qiang people.

Eating hot pot and singing songs in winter, and drinking Moutai, is there anything more enjoyable than these?

Everyone chatted happily.

But Xun Yu didn't melt in, eating silently in the corner alone.

Hua Xiong noticed him, came to him with a wine glass, and said with a smile,

"Wen Ruo, why is he so quiet?"

Xun Yu was a little flattered, and hurriedly touched a glass with Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong drank it all and said with a smile,

"From now on, it's all your own people, don't be so restrained."

"That's it, in fact, the lord is a very easy-going person."

Ma Chao echoed.

Looking at the group of amiable people, Xun Yu felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.

If Hua Xiong knows what he has done, can he still stay among them?

However, what you are worried about, what comes.

Huzi hurriedly walked in, and he glanced at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu's heart jumped.

"Lord," Huzi bowed, "I just received a report that Cao Cao has escaped from Luoyang City with his subordinates!" ”

These words are no less than a thunderclap out of thin air.

The chopsticks in the hands of everyone present shook, and their faces became solemn.

They all know that for Hua Xiong, Cao Cao is a big problem.

"No way, our military intelligence department has not received any information."

Guo Jia said with a frown.

Cao Cao, his subordinates, and family members combined, nearly 10,000 people.

If these 10,000 people want to leave Luoyang City quietly, it is definitely difficult to go to the sky!

"It is now ascertained that Cao Cao and they have the documents signed by Lord Xun and left Luoyang City openly."

Huzi looked at Xun Yu with an angry face.

Hua Xiong regarded Cao Cao as a fierce rival, but Xun Yu let him go.

Huzi, who is loyal to Hua Xiong, is of course angry with Xun Yu.

"What?"

Everyone was taken aback and looked at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu knew that there would be such a day.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and nodded.

"Yes, it's the paperwork I signed.

Cao Mengde's father died tragically in Xuzhou, and he wanted to take care of the funeral.

So I signed a document agreeing to him leaving Luoyang City. ”

Although Xun Yu said this, everyone knew it.

He let Cao Cao go for the sake of his past relationship with Cao Cao.

"The lord has repeatedly ordered to keep an eye on Cao Cao and the others, but I didn't expect you to let him go without permission!"

"Xun Yu, you really live up to the lord's love for you!"

The crowd, who was already a little drunk, spoke out to accuse Xun Yu.

Xun Yu didn't say a word, and stood there with his head down.

"Lord, do you want to arrest him?"

Huzi asked.

He couldn't wait to clean up Xun Yu fiercely.

Hua Xiong smiled and waved his hand, shook his head and said,

"No need."

Everyone was stunned.

I don't understand why Huaxiong didn't punish Xun Yu.

You must know that he let Cao Cao go for nothing, if this is not severely punished, I am afraid that others will follow suit in the future.

Hua Xiong groaned slightly, and said softly,

"Xun Yu, you have worked hard in recent days, and I plan to promote you to the Marquis of the Long Live Pavilion."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Even Xun Yu raised his head and looked at Hua Xiong with an incredulous expression.

What's the situation?

Xun Yu let Cao Cao go without permission, and he could still be made a marquis?

"It's harmless to let Cao Cao go, you can go back and rest for a few days."

Hua Xiong encouraged.

With a blank expression, Xun Yu got up to say goodbye.

After Xun Yu left, the outspoken Ma Chao couldn't help but say,

"Lord, Xun Yu did something wrong, why didn't you punish him, but reward him?"

Guo Jia also said,

"Lord, the rewards and punishments must be clear, otherwise how can the subordinates be convinced?"

Hua Xiong just glanced at them, then shook his head with a smile and said,

"It's small, your pattern is too small."

The crowd was confused and didn't understand what he meant.
