Chapter 198 Like Playing
After the two tigers left, the sense of danger disappeared instantly.
Xi Zhiyi never doubted his intuition. There must have been a ferocious beast around just now.
He ordered in a serious tone: "Everyone, be alert and prevent attacks from wild animals. Everyone, enter martial law."
He rode his horse closer to Xia Yining's carriage, staying by its side at all times in a protective posture.
The four masters of the Xia family: "???"
What's wrong with this gentleman? Does he think that the four brothers are dead?
But my sister was still young, so she didn’t think too deeply about it. She didn’t know that the little wolf cub in front of her was targeting her three-and-a-half-year-old sister.
The second master of the Xia family was full of evil spirits. He glanced at her lightly, and his tone was full of disdain, "We don't need you here, don't squeeze in here."
Among the four, only the seventh master of the Xia family, Doctor Yao, noticed something. He rode his horse to his side and snorted coldly.
Everyone: "???"
What's going on? The masters of the Xia family are so hard to approach. Look, they don't even treat the third master of the Xi family well. Tsk tsk~~~
Shan Xingyan just took a look and didn't care about it anymore. He was very vigilant along the way, worried that a ferocious beast would suddenly rush out.
The people in the carriage were unaware of the situation outside. After Xia Yining had eaten and drunk her fill, she took Yanyan back to the space and transformed herself into a hardworking little bee, continuously planting and harvesting grain. She had a premonition that the border would soon run out of food.
I can't explain why, it's just an inexplicable intuition.
It was already dark, and the sky was beautifully twinkling with stars. Their team stopped the car in a spacious area of the woods. When everyone got off the carriage, their backs and waists ached.
Especially Mrs. He, who had gone from being fresh at the beginning to being exhausted now, no longer had the excitement of riding in a carriage for the first time. She knew in her heart that it was because of the protection of Lord Chiyan's divine power that the journey was smooth.
She couldn't even imagine how much suffering she would have to endure along the way if she hadn't had divine power to protect her.
The Prime Minister's wife also held her waist, feeling that her slender waist was about to break. Her face turned pale, which made people feel very distressed.
Seeing that everyone was in a bad state, Xia Yining felt that he could no longer eat dry food, so he said, "Mom, I brought a lot of peppers when I went out. Why don't we make fried pork with peppers and stew some big pieces of meat tonight, and have a pot of white rice to have a good meal."
Hearing this, everyone stared at Granny He with sparkling eyes. She was the best cook among all the people, while others were satisfied as long as they could cook the food and make it edible.
The guards said quickly, "We will help! Madam He, please don't bother with washing the vegetables and meat. You will just need to cook when the food is ready."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your help. We are going hunting and will be back soon."
Without giving Mrs. He a chance to refuse, everyone used Qinggong to leave, and their hurried backs looked like being chased by a dog.
"..."
Even if the little girl didn't say anything, Mrs. He would still cook a hot meal for them. She also felt distressed for her old man and the children of the Xia family.
But within an hour, a pungent and spicy aroma wafted through the forest, causing everyone to sneeze continuously. They were reluctant to leave and stood guard beside the pot, unwilling to move.
Some people were so greedy that their mouths were watering, and they were waiting for the meal to start with their bowls in hand.
Leng Yue: “…”
He felt that his subordinates were really shameless and had brought shame to their master. If he could look away and not stare at him, it would be more convincing.
Xi Zhiyi: “······”
He even suspected that he was being too harsh on his subordinates. They all looked like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey. Really...
Shame on you~!!
Shan Xingyan was not in a much better situation. Following him were not only guards, but also soldiers on the battlefield. His situation was not much better at this moment.
He looked at them speechlessly and really wanted to leave. He wanted to kick them back to the barracks right now.
Thinking that his father and elder brother in the frontier had very poor food, he wondered if he could ask Madam He to cook two dinners for them after she went there. He would give her more compensation then. He just wanted his elders to have a few hot meals.
Mrs. He's cooking skills have become better and better. She stewed a pot of milky white fish soup, stir-fried braised spicy chicken, spicy and refreshing rabbit meat, and rice with just the right amount of moisture.
"Wow~~~ The steamed rice is crystal clear. As expected of a family that owns a restaurant, Mrs. He's cooking skills are amazing."
"And how come this fish soup is stewed into a milky white color? It doesn't have any fishy smell at all and tastes so fresh. It's really delicious."
"There is also braised pheasant meat. Look at the fat on it. It smells more delicious than my life."
"One bite will make your mouth ooze with oil, and it's so delicious that your tongue will fall off."
"And this rabbit meat is so tender, and the soup on it tastes even better with the rice than the meat."
"Thank you, Madam He. The food you cook is the best in the world. It is the most delicious thing we have ever eaten in our lives."
"Yes, yes, I can eat several bowls of rice today."
Seeing them eating so happily, the four masters of the Xia family couldn't even raise their heads. All kinds of nice words kept floating into Mrs. He's ears, making her laugh heartily.
People who cook love to hear others praise them the most, and they feel a sense of satisfaction in their hearts.
I smiled and said, "Okay, okay, if you like it, I'll cook it for you. But I can't do chores like washing vegetables and dishes. My waist can't bear it."
Hearing that she was willing to cook, everyone quickly expressed their opinions, "Don't worry, Madam He, you just need to direct the people, and let others do this small work. We will ensure that the dishes are neat and good."
This is true. They are all people with martial arts skills. They can cut evenly with a sword just a few times without any effort.
There was constant laughter during the dinner, which made them feel dazed for a moment, as if they were out for fun, not because there was a battle on the border.
The three big pots were eaten clean, not a drop of soup was left, not even a grain of white rice could be found. Xia Yining felt that they still had to save face, otherwise they would have licked it again.
The image in my mind made me feel a little sick, so I quickly shook my head and left.
He had just been disdainful of the two young masters under his command, but now his ears turned red when he saw that the second bowl of rice was empty.
They despise their subordinates for being incompetent, and they themselves are not much better.
Therefore, Zhenxiang’s warning will not let anyone go, and it will be effective even if it is late.
Shan Xingyan glanced at the He family's carriage and felt that Mrs. He was really kind-hearted. He thought that what he had dreamed of would probably come true after he reached the border.
He began to think about what kind of reward to give her. There are a lot of ethnic minorities in the border areas, and there are many rare gems. Apart from the one handed over to the emperor, the Shan family also has a lot.
But it has been used for many years to treat injured veterans, and now there is not much left. He is a little worried that he will not be able to take out good things. Then...
Thinking about the things in his private vault, he made a decision.
