Xiao Mubai was a prince and was born in the palace, so he enjoyed countless royal meals.
However, over the years, he no longer cares about his appetite.
Now, even he couldn't help but praise him. It is conceivable that the surrounding soldiers were already amazed.
"Shuangquan, who is in charge of the kitchen in the Zhao family army now? The skill of marinating and barbecue is really good." Duan Fayuan asked Zhao Shuangquan while enjoying his meal.
Ruan Zhaohui, Huang Weizhou and Sang Hanming on the side nodded in agreement, and even the cavalry general Lou Hongfang also looked over.
"The food in our kitchen is still unpalatable. It's all done by Dr. Yi." Zhao Shuangquan laughed and looked at Xia Chu with a look full of pride.
Everyone opened their mouths and followed Zhao Shuangquan to look at Xia Chu.
"Doctor Yi, is he still so good at cooking?"
Under the fierce gaze of a group of generals, Xia Chu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Where is it?"
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of surprises you can give me." Xiao Mubai raised his eyebrows and looked at him, with a meaningful arc at the corner of his lips.
Xia Chu held his forehead and said with a headache: "I have exhausted my talents. I really have no skills."
Xiao Mubai said nothing, just stared at him playfully.
Seeing this, Xia Chu had no choice but to tear off a large piece of breast meat and stuff it into Xiao Mubai's mouth, first gagging him.
After everyone had almost eaten, General Zhao stood up and solemnly clasped his fists at Xiao Mubai and said, "Thank you for today's battle, His Highness King Mo."
Xiao Mubai quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "Old General Zhao has been someone Mu Bai respects since he was a child. There is no need to thank him."
General Zhao nodded and said to the soldiers: "Thank you for your hard work today."
Huang Weizhou stood up and said quickly: "Protecting the family and the country is the true nature of a man."
Ruan Zhaohui, Duan Fayuan and Sang Hanming also stood up and shouted: "Protecting the home and the country is the true nature of a man."
The remaining soldiers stood up one after another, and everyone shouted: "Protect your home and country, that's what a man should be like."
General Zhao looked at Xiao Mubai with admiration and said, "Your Highness, King Mo, you have trained your troops well."
Xiao Mubai said calmly: "Thanks to General Zhao's help, we have a good foundation."
General Zhao laughed loudly when he heard this and waved his hand to signal them to disperse.
Xiao Mubai then ordered Han Sa to let the soldiers rest.
"His Royal Highness King Mo, your tent has been arranged. Let Gu Weiyi take you there. The army is simple and the reception is not good." After speaking, General Zhao waved and asked Gu Weiyi to come over.
"Old General Zhao, you're welcome. It's common practice in the army to sleep in the open air. Why go to the trouble of setting up a tent? I can live with Doctor Yi."
"No." As soon as Xiao Mubai finished speaking, Xia Chu and Raven refused in unison.
The corners of Han Sa's mouth twitched again, and he counted in his mind, this is the first time that Doctor Yi has rejected the prince...
Xiao Mubai frowned. It wasn't that he wanted to squeeze in with Xia Chu, but there were so many people in the army now that they had to prepare a separate tent for him. He was really afraid of causing trouble to Old General Zhao.
Instead of trying to squeeze in, it's better to find someone familiar to squeeze in.
Therefore, he just said that.
Unexpectedly, he would condescend, but was rejected outright by Xia Chu. Xia Chu let it go. The one named Raven was more determined than Xia Chu.
Xia Chu thought about it and thought that his attitude just now was a bit tough.
Therefore, he said with a warmer tone: "Well, there is already a raven living in my tent. No, it is not very convenient. His Highness King Mo should live alone in a room."
Xiao Mubai looked unhappy and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Xia Chu had no choice but to climb on his arm and whisper: "In a few days, you will be poisoned. It's more convenient to be alone."
Seeing that what he said was true, Xiao Mubai had no choice but to nod doubtfully.
Seeing him nodding, Xia Chu hurriedly asked Gu Weiyi to send the old man away.
Xiao Mubai took two steps and looked back at him: "Aren't you going to follow?"
Xia Chu twitched the corner of his mouth. The old man obviously had something else to say to him.
While hesitating, General Zhao's voice rang out.
"If it doesn't matter, His Highness King Mo can summon him again tomorrow. Tonight, I still have something to ask Yi Dao."
Xiao Mubai knew that General Zhao was Xia Chu's grandfather. At this moment, he couldn't stop the family relationship between ancestors and grandchildren, so he had no choice but to nod and turn around and leave.
Xia Chu exhaled and smiled sweetly at General Zhao.
All the way to General Zhao's tent, everyone who needed to disperse dispersed.
Only the descendants of the Zhao family and the raven were left in the tent.
General Zhao glanced at Xia Chu and saw that he had no intention of letting the raven out, so he didn't mention it.
It was Xia Chu who looked at Old General Zhao and then turned to the raven and said, "Go and sit next to him for a while. We have some things to discuss."
After hearing this, Raven obediently found a chair outside and sat down.
Xia Chu followed General Zhao into the inner tent. As if it was the first time, everyone gathered around the sand table and sat down.
Although it was only a short time ago, because we had just experienced life and death, sitting together again felt like a lifetime ago.
"How did you convince His Highness King Mo to send troops for reinforcements?" Old General Zhao asked.
Although Xia Chu's true identity is not a relative of the emperor, he is still very important in the Xiao Kingdom.
Although, the Xiahou Mansion and Zhao Jiajun were never involved in the dispute over the emperor's heir.
However, Xia Chu's attitude will still affect them.
Moreover, there are rumors in Beijing that Xia Chu has a close relationship with His Majesty Seventh Prince Xiao Zimu.
Therefore, Zhao Shuangquan also waited for Xia Chu's reply with concern.
Zhao Xingwen and Zhao Xingwu were also waiting for Xia Chu's answer, but they were still young. They had grown up in the military since they were young, and they didn't have so many twists and turns in their minds.
I just want to know how Xia Chu persuaded the cold and arrogant King Mo to support Han Yang despite the serious crime of treason.
"I made a deal with him." Xia Chu thought about various excuses in his mind and felt that they were all unlikely to be deceived, so he simply said bluntly.
"You didn't promise anything you shouldn't have, right?" Zhao Shuangquan looked nervous.
"No, it's purely a private matter and has nothing to do with the court. My uncle and grandpa can feel at ease." Xia Chu could only speak vaguely.
"Cousin, you are really annoying me to death." Zhao Xingwu couldn't bear it anymore.
He listened attentively for a long time, and Xia Chu had been doing Tai Chi.
"What the hell are you yelling at? I asked you to find King Mo. Let alone whether he can be found, it's not even sure whether he can get to Yucheng." General Zhao knew in his heart that it was not convenient for Xia Chuyue to answer directly.
Although he also wanted to know, it just so happened that Zhao Xingwu showed up, so he threw his anger on Zhao Xingwu's head.
Zhao Xingwu was also unlucky, but he got into trouble at this time. He was scolded by General Zhao, and he really had no reason to refute, so he could only lean towards Zhao Xingwen aggrievedly.
Zhao Xingwen touched his nose and secretly rejoiced. He had wanted to say the same thing just now, but he was not as quick as Zhao Xingwu.
I'm so lucky...
"Is Guo Weidong still taking good care of you?" Xia Chu asked, changing the topic.
General Zhao nodded, his eyebrows solemn.
"Tomorrow, it's time to interrogate him!"
