Chapter 18: A Bowl of Soup Cakes

"I don't mind General Meng going with me, but will the big marshal release him?" Lu Chen didn't refuse Meng Ji, after all, one sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also released, all of them have Fang Qi's fifty people, and they don't care about one more Meng Ji, not to mention that Meng Ji is brave and martial, and it is also beneficial to take him, but Lu Chen didn't know that this Meng Ji was going to follow him to assassinate Liu Heimin, and Li Xiuning agreed to it.

"As long as the military advisor agrees, the commander will report to him!" Meng Ji believes that as long as he tells Li Xiuning that he wants to protect Lu Chen, Li Xiuning will definitely agree, after all, Li Xiuning now attaches importance to Lu Chen, not to mention that Li Xiuning's first fierce general is He Panren, who followed him when he started, that is the deputy general of the Chinese army second only to Ye Zhu and Lu Qiuming, and the governor's military affairs can be described as a high power.

"On the premise of obtaining the consent of the marshal, I will not refuse General Meng to accompany me!" Lu Chen gave his own meaning, that is, if you want to follow you, you must first obtain Li Xiuning's consent.

"That's okay, the last general will leave and go to play the marshal!" Seeing that Lu Chen did not refuse him, Meng Ji immediately got up and happily went to report to Li Xiuning.

Fang Qi took a deep look at the back of Meng Ji, who was leaving.

"Has Captain Fang had breakfast?" Lu Chen looked at Fang Qi, who turned his head, and asked with a smile.

"I've eaten it!" Fang Qi hurriedly said, but when he raised his nose and smelled it, he found that it was also a soup cake, and Lu Chen's soup cake was obviously much more fragrant, so he couldn't help licking his lips.

"I made some more in the morning, come on, go and bring a bowl of soup cakes to Captain Fang!" Lu Chen greeted the soldiers who were standing guard outside.

This soup cake was made by Lu Chen himself in the kitchen in the morning, it was really too lacking in seasonings in the Tang Dynasty, Lu Chen was not picky, after all, he had never encountered any conditions in his previous life, and sometimes he had experienced eating a worm or something like raw meat, but now that he has the conditions, Lu Chen can't abuse himself, if he wasn't really hungry yesterday, these foods in the Tang Dynasty, Lu Chen may not be able to eat so happily.

Although Lu Chen was the captain of the special operations team in his previous life, he also had vacations, and when he was on vacation, Lu Chen was a very delicate person, so when he was on vacation, his teammates liked to come to his house for dinner, not because of Lu Chen's good skills.

Therefore, when he got up early this morning, Lu Chen cleaned up a pot of soup cakes by himself, this soup cake is the noodle soup that later generations said, but the seasoning was brought out by Lu Chen from the base, plus some green onions and coriander, and the taste seduced several soldiers standing guard at that time were drooling.

Normally, these soldiers don't eat breakfast, in the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people have two meals a day, lunch and dinner, only the rich family will have three meals a day, as for the imperial relatives and relatives are four meals a day, the soldiers who have been enduring hunger, how can they still hold back their saliva when they are seduced by the fragrance of Lu Chen's soup cakes, but because of their identity, they are all peeking and secretly swallowing saliva.

Lu Chen is naturally "happy alone, not as happy as everyone", beckoned a few soldiers to come and eat with him, he gave a few soldiers a big bowl of soup cakes, a few soldiers ate so quickly, Lu Chen didn't eat half a bowl, a few people had already made a bowl of dry bowls, and looked at Lu Chen with blank eyes.

"If you want to eat yourself, go to the pot and serve it!" Lu Chen looked at the eyes of several people who kept peeking at the kitchen, and scolded with a smile.

"Hey!" With Lu Chen's approval, several soldiers rushed to the kitchen, and one of them filled a big bowl, until one person ate three bowls, and then returned to his original post, and at this time, Fang Qi and Meng Ji came together.

"Strategist, your soup cake is much better than those firehead soldiers!" Fang Qi couldn't stop after taking a bite, chewing the noodles in his mouth, and didn't forget to give Lu Chen a thumbs up and praise.

"That's nature, this is my own exclusive secret seasoning cooking, ordinary people can't eat it!" Lu Chen looked at Fang Qi's eating appearance, and couldn't help but feel complacent, the stimulation of seasonings in later generations, is that something that the people of the Tang Dynasty can resist?

In less than five minutes, a large bowl of soup cakes was eaten by Fang Qi with the bottom of the bowl facing the sky, but he had already eaten almost in the morning, even if Fang Qi wanted to eat it again, he couldn't eat it, at most he was "full of stomach and eyes".

"That's it! If you want to eat, there is a chance to eat later! I'll make a roasted whole lamb for you to taste! "Although Lu Chen still can't figure out Fang Qi's intentions to follow him, he has to say what he should say, and if Fang Qi has no malicious intentions, it is okay to buy Fang Qi, after all, people are not familiar with life, and many acquaintances have many paths!

"Strategist, you can't fool me, I'm waiting for your roast whole sheep!" Fang Qi, who had eaten the soup cake, looked at Lu Chen very seriously and said.

"Okay! When Liu Heimin is solved, I will make you a roasted whole sheep, okay? Lu Chen felt that Fang Qi's personality was quite interesting, a little straightforward, would such a person really calculate himself? Lu Chen couldn't help but ponder, if this was Fang Qi's disguise, then Lu Chen could only say that this person's acting skills were really good.

"That's right! We're here to see you! As soon as he talked about "Liu Heimin", Fang Qi patted his head, and then remembered what he was here for, and he directly dragged Lu Chen to go out, a bowl of soup cakes, which directly brought the relationship between Fang Qi and Lu Chen closer, which shows how reasonable it is for later generations to say that "the wine table is the best place to get closer".

Lu Chen motioned to the soldiers to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and followed Fang Qi to the courtyard gate, but as soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw Meng Ji striding towards this side.

"Strategist, are you going out?" More than ten steps away, Meng Ji shouted loudly, and at the same time walked quickly to Lu Chen.

"Well, go and see the soldiers selected by Captain Fang!" Lu Chen nodded at Meng Ji, "This hurried back, did the marshal agree?" Lu Chen asked.

"Hmmm! I told Dashuai, and Dashuai agreed! Meng Ji said in a rough voice.

"Okay, let's go and have a look!" Since Li Xiuning agreed, Lu Chen would not refuse, and directly invited Meng Jitong to watch the army.

Not long after, Lu Chen followed Fang Qi and Meng Ji out of Xiaguancheng Village, Li Xiuning's army was more than 100,000 troops, how could they all be nested in a Xiaguancheng Village, the military tent outside the village adjacent to the Mianhe River spread out for several miles was the place where the army was stationed, and in a flat school field in the barracks, there was a team general training dozens of people at this time.

Lu Chen could see at a glance that these dozens of shirtless and sturdy men should be the team that Fang Qi had chosen for himself.
