Although his mother and aunt are not good at cooking, he really doesn't want to eat meat.
Li Nian wrinkled his little face, looked at Fubao aggrievedly, and whispered: "Senior sister, I'm not hungry!"
"How could you not be hungry?"
"Look, you've lost weight!"
"Eat, you're welcome, just like at home!"
Fubao is very hospitable.
Brothers Dabao and Erbao were also full of sincerity and said: "Uncle, you are really welcome. Look at this Dongpo elbow, it melts in your mouth, it is so delicious!"
"Come on, try it!"
It is rare that Dabao, who has always been a glutton, took the initiative to pick up a chopstick of the crystal-clear Dongpo elbow skin for little friend Li Nian.
Little friend Li Nian couldn't resist the hospitality and could only start eating.
And then, um, it smells so good!
Although it is all meat, it is called meat!
Next, without Fubao's persuasion, Li Nian's little friend has already started the gluttonous mode.
"Little aunt, can we eat?"
"Of course, come on, come on, come on, you are here to accompany the guests, so you must have a great time eating with your little uncle!"
"Yeah, sure!"
The two brothers started to move instantly.
Fu Bao watched the three foodies start eating, and he also started eating happily at another table.
Why not eat at the same table
Of course it's because she wants to open a small stove!
Of course, what's more important is that Fubao is working hard to cultivate the relationship between his two eldest nephews and the youngest son of King Yan. As their little aunt, it is really not easy to be an elder and start worrying about their future at such a young age.
…
Huangfengkou Pass.
Mr. Xu had just finished practicing a lying gun and was sitting and drinking tea slowly.
Not far away, Boss Xu was holding an abacus and calculating accounts.
The two wars, well, let’s call them wars!
Anyway, among the five thousand soldiers who followed them from Xiangyi Prefecture, except for one unlucky guy who accidentally rolled down the steps and was injured, the rest of them all gained weight.
And the so-called civilian men who escorted the grain and grass were also fat.
Boss Xu is sorting out the income and expenses of their trip.
You can be sure of making a steady profit, but you have to calculate carefully how much you will make. After all, according to the rules, the 20,000 civilians should return after the food, grass and baggage are delivered.
Therefore, all the expenses incurred by these people staying in Huangfengkou in the later period will have to be borne by the old Xu family themselves.
If it weren't for the mine at home, I really wouldn't dare to be so generous.
Fortunately, two battles were fought with no casualties and a large number of seizures were made.
Mr. Xu can make up for these consumptions without even going back to mining.
"Woo-"
Just when Boss Xu was halfway through settling the accounts, the horns of the northern barbarians came from outside Huangfengkou Pass.
"what's the situation?"
Mr. Xu grabbed his spear and rushed out.
Mr. Xu naturally did not lag behind. He lost his abacus and held his own spear in his hand.
As for Xu Laoer, he had already reached the city wall.
At this time, countless Northern Barbarian cavalry appeared outside the Huangfengkou Pass, and in front of these Northern Barbarian cavalry were the people of the Tang Dynasty who were being driven.
"These bastards are doing this again!"
"Dad, I'm going to kill for a while!"
When Xu Laoer saw the situation outside, he immediately rushed out of the pass.
"stand till!"
Mr. Xu shouted sharply and called out Mr. Xu, "Do you think all northern barbarians are fools?"
"Just wait patiently!"
Not long ago, Mr. Xu received news from King Yan from the northwest army camp, saying that the Northern Barbarians were about to withdraw. But now, the Northern Barbarians appeared outside Huang Fengkou again.
So, this is either the Northern Barbarians going back on their word, or the Northern Barbarian King intends to break the Yellow Wind Channel and avenge his two sons before retreating.
No matter which one it is, they will face a real fierce battle.
If we win this battle, then it will definitely be a decisive battle.
But if this battle is defeated, the Northern Barbarians are afraid that the president will drive in and wreak havoc on the four northwest prefectures of the Tang Dynasty.
"Light up smoke and warn!"
"Immediately send someone to the northwest army camp to ask for help from King Yan!"
Mr. Xu gave the order decisively.
"Drum roll, let's fight!"
Although the people of the Tang Dynasty were driven by the Northern Barbarians, under the overall situation, Mr. Xu could only calm down.
Not long after, the Northern Barbarian cavalry had driven the common people of Tang Dynasty to the attack range of the Eight Bull Crossbows, but the Northern Barbarians stopped at this time, and three cavalry flew out from the group and headed straight for Huangfengkou Pass. Come.
"shoot!"
Mr. Xu didn't give the opponent a chance to get close to the pass, and directly ordered the Eight Ox Crossbow to be fired.
It has been said since ancient times that when two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed.
But now, Mr. Xu did not give the Northern Barbarian envoys a chance to approach and directly ordered them to be shot.
It's not that Mr. Xu doesn't understand, but that he doesn't dare to let the Northern Barbarian envoys approach. Because he was worried that the other party was going to use conspiracy.
Once the conspiracy comes out, you have no other way to deal with it except to take action.
Otherwise, what awaits them will definitely not be a good thing.
However, Mr. Xu still underestimated the insidiousness of the Northern Barbarians.
After the three envoys were shot dead, the Northern Barbarians sent another envoy. This time, not only the Northern Barbarians' envoys, but also the people of the Tang Dynasty who were driven forward followed the envoys.
In such a situation, what can Mr. Xu do? Facing the northern barbarians who had not attacked the city, it was impossible for him to order the firing of crossbows.
In the end, he could only watch as the Northern Barbarian envoy approached the Huangfengkou Pass.
"I have always heard that the Yongwu County Prince of the Tang Dynasty was brave and good at fighting. My king has three brave generals under his command. I am willing to compete with the Yongwu County Prince."
"If Yongwu County's son wins, my king will immediately withdraw his troops and release all the Tang people here!"
"If the name of Yongwu County Prince is not true, then I will use his head to pay homage to the spirits of our two princes in heaven!"
"Your Majesty Yongwu, do you dare to go out of the city to fight?"
"Do you dare to fight?"
The three Northern Barbarian envoys spoke one after another, each one louder than the other.
On the city wall of Huangfengkou Pass, Mr. Xu closed his eyes.
Things were really as he thought.
The Northern Barbarians really used a conspiracy.
This conspiracy can be described as vicious.
"Dad, let me go!"
When it comes to fighting, Xu Laoer is really not afraid of anyone.
Except, of course, his master. Because there is absolutely no way to win.
But now he is on the battlefield, which is his Xu Laoer's home court.
"Second brother, be careful!"
Mr. Xu turned around and glanced at his second son.
Xu Laoer grinned and said, "Dad, just wait and see me kill everyone!"
Xu Laoer really didn't take the upcoming three fights seriously.
On the battlefield, if he could really meet someone who could fight, he would only be more excited.
"Dick!"
"Second brother!"
Xu Laozi and Xu Laosan looked at Xu Laoer, who was neatly dressed and preparing to go down to the pass, with solemn expressions.
"Brother, third brother, maybe I can kill another prince!"
Xu Laoer chuckled and was full of fighting spirit.
"Second brother, take this and light this thread if necessary. Maybe it will be useful!"

Xu Laosan handed the largest firecracker he made to Xu Laoer's hands. (End of chapter)
