Nowadays, the most spacious and cleanest place inside and outside the military camp is the martial arts field.
Xia Chu, along with Raven and Bian Ding, lined up the game in a row. In the areas assigned to various bonfires, the sun set early in the west. Gu Weiyi finally found Xia Chu under the cover of night.
"Doctor Yi, General Zhao and His Highness King Mo are both looking for you." Gu Weiyi still saw a bonfire burning in the martial arts arena. He came to check and saw Xia Chu by accident.
"Well, you go and invite them all over. It's time for dinner anyway, and everyone is hungry." Xia Chu said without stopping from skewering the chicken and without raising his head.
Gu Weiyi nodded when he heard the words, said hello, turned around and ran back.
Now, he has become accustomed to Xia Chu's disregard of orders...
After about a stick of incense, General Zhao led Xiao Mubai and his descendants over.
Xia Chu came forward and said to Han Sa, "Bring King Mo's army here as well."
Han Sa wanted to say that if he called them all, he would not be able to eat enough, but when he looked around, he saw that under the starlight, the martial arts arena was filled with wild game.
Xia Chu said to Gu Weiyi again: "Bring those Qingcheng defenders here as well."
Gu Weiyi responded and calmed down.
When Han Sa saw Xiao Mubai nodded, he also bowed and left.
Xia Chu led a group of people to sit at the bonfire in the middle. Xiao Mubai looked at the birds and animals and couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said, "You're probably going to eat up all the game on the mountain to Tracer."
"Well, we went back and forth on the mountain several times. Isn't this because we are afraid that your King Mo's army will come and our Zhao army will not have enough to eat." Xia Chu said while lighting the fire.
Xiao Mubai frowned when he heard this.
"We are all good men of the Xiao Kingdom. There is no difference between you and me." Xiao Mubai felt inexplicably unhappy at his mention of you, our words.
"That's right, His Highness King Mo is determined. These veterans he specially ordered this time to reinforce Han Yangcheng are even more passionate and brave." Old General Zhao almost said that most of the soldiers King Mo brought this time were former Zhao Jiajun. When the words came to his lips, He changed his mind abruptly.
Xiao Mubai nodded to General Zhao. He did have this idea when he ordered the troops.
While they were talking, the army came over in a mighty manner. Because they had just won the battle, everyone was in a good mood, and some of them were singing with broken gong voices.
Xiao Mubai turned his head coldly, and King Mo's army immediately fell silent, his authority obvious.
"Your Highness King Mo, please stop being so serious and let them relax today." Xia Chu shrugged Xiao Mubai and said.
Xiao Mubai looked back at his thin shoulders.
At this moment, I was still brushing against his arm from time to time, but there was no feeling of disgust in my heart.
He looked suspicious, but his tone was gentler and said: "Don't be formal tonight, let's all sit down and eat."
All the soldiers were smiling again and found their seats to sit down.
Ruan Zhaohui, Huang Weizhou, Sang Hanming, Duan Fayuan and other veterans of the Zhao family naturally walked to the middle and sat down next to Zhao Shuangquan. Lou Hongfang, the cavalry chief of King Mo's army, also sat down next to them.
In an instant, a circle formed.
At this time, Raven also finished his work and came over, walked to Xia Chu's side, and looked at Xiao Mubai with cold eyes.
Old General Zhao sat on Xia Chu's left, and Xiao Mubai sat on his right. The raven's expression clearly told Xiao Mubai, "Move to the side."
Neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere suddenly became strange. The two sides were at war with each other, neither giving in to the other.
Everyone in the circle felt a chill and evil energy suddenly appeared.
Even the distant soldiers nearby noticed the tension in the atmosphere, stopped talking and looked over.
Xia Chu looked at Xiao Mubai's increasingly darker face, and couldn't help but raise his forehead and look at Old General Zhao.
After all, General Zhao was a very thoughtful man. He moved to the left, waved to the raven and said, "Come and sit here, Yi Dao. It's thanks to you that you left the raven to me this time. You can Are you willing to leave him in the army to fight?"
When Xia Chu heard this, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said to General Zhao: "I'm afraid this won't work. I guess he won't be able to keep his temper."
General Zhao sighed regretfully.
Xia Chu quickly pulled Raven and sat between him and Old General Zhao.
The atmosphere finally calmed down after being interrupted like this, and everyone let out a breath. The scene just now was too scary. They didn't dare to express their anger, so they couldn't help but hold their breath.
"This is the one, but even if Han Yang Raven is here, he won't teach Hu Ma how to cross the back mountain?" Xiao Mubai asked coldly.
Xia Chu nodded, and then whispered to him: "Raven has a withdrawn personality. He doesn't buy anyone's fault except me. Don't take it to heart, Your Highness King Mo."
Xiao Mubai nodded, indicating that he didn't care.
However, Xia Chu felt that his whole body was being swept by the raven's eyes, and he could faintly hear him snorting coldly.
Only then did he realize that even if he spoke so quietly, people who shouldn't hear him could still hear him...
Xia Chu shrugged at the raven and stuck out his tongue, smiled awkwardly, quickly took out a nearly roasted pheasant, tore off one leg and handed it to him.
The raven took it naturally and ate it expressionlessly.
Xiao Mubai was slightly stunned when he saw the interaction between Xia Chu and Raven just now.
He had seen Xia Chu in many ways, but he had never seen such an innocent and playful look.
The first time he met Xia Chu was on the second floor of Yinweizhai, in an elegant room with a strong autumn atmosphere.
He had just returned to Beijing that day, and Xu Wenlan wanted to take him out to have a drink with him.
He opened the window out of boredom, and saw Xia Chu, who was pretending to be cool and unrestrained, for the first time. He waved his hand to Su Qian'an and said in a very romantic way that he would take him to a brothel.
The young man Xu Shi drank wine, his face was white and rosy, and he was delicate and tender. His childish look was obviously not faded, but his tone was old-fashioned.
The second time was at the family banquet in the palace. He wore an exquisite blue brocade robe with white auspicious clouds embroidered on the hem. He walked with flowers touching each other, making him look a little fluttery.
He was pulled by Mu Hong to sit next to him. Xiao Mubai took a close look at Xia Chu for the first time, and even teased him.
Originally, during that meeting in the palace, I just thought Xia Chu was interesting.
It wasn't until the Lantern Festival, under the brilliant lights, that Xiao Mubai really took a new look at this young man who always wore an elegant blue dress.
And when he smelled the unique smell of herbs on Xia Chu's body in the military tent in Yucheng.
His heart was shaken.
His expression was calm.
Over the years, I have known that my time is running out.
So, he planned a lot.
In order for the mother-in-law and Mu Hong to live peacefully after he leaves.
Therefore, he has long been accustomed to having everything under control.
In the beginning of Xia, he was surprised again and again.
That unexpected feeling made him a little unhappy. In his displeasure, there was also a trace of indescribable expectation.
Just like before, Xia Chu was stunned when he saw Xiao Mubai, and casually tore off another piece of chicken leg and handed it to him.
He took a bite and realized it was tasteless.
Actually.
Really are.
Very delicious…
He couldn't help but stare at Xia Chu.
I hope in my heart, how many more surprises will he have
