Chapter 13: Ah Zhao, can you cook?

Fang Xuren exclaimed: "Aren't you dead?"

"Yes, but I'm alive again!" After Xu Zhao gave a wicked smile, he walked behind the screen without giving Fang Xuren any response.

The screen was very transparent under the candlelight, so she hung the wet clothes that Chen Yu had just changed on the screen to block out the candlelight.

She hid behind and took off her original clothes and pants, and changed into cook's clothes.

The size of the clothes prepared by Fang Xuren was just right. The clothes were clean, with patches sewn on the hem and elbows. The owner of the clothes was a good needlework woman, and the patches were sewn neatly.

While Xu Zhao was changing clothes.

Fang Xuren hurried to Chen Yu's side and whispered, "Your Highness, isn't this the female spy we caught a year ago? Wasn't she dead at the time? How come she's alive again?"

Fang Xuren's mind had already begun to imagine, "Could it be a monster?"

He remembered that after the prince killed the female spy a year ago, the spy's body disappeared on its own after a while.

Now that he was standing in front of them alive again, anyone would find it incredible.

Fang Xuren tightly gripped the sword at his waist and remained alert at all times. If she could be killed once, she could be killed a second time. If this evil woman showed any signs of taking action, he would definitely show no mercy.

When Shen Yu heard this, everyone had the same idea.

"It's not a monster, it's a human, but it shouldn't be an ordinary person. Her name is Xu Zhao." Shen Yu concealed the true identity that Xu Zhao told him.

However, even if Fang Xuren was told such a mysterious thing coming from the future, he might not believe it. Even Chen Yu was half-believing and half-doubting now.

"Then we are..." Fang Xuren raised his hand and stroked his neck, making a gesture of wiping his neck.

Shen Yu was lost in thought when Xu Zhao came out after changing his clothes.

Even though she was wearing coarse linen clothes, Xu Zhao's extraordinary temperament was still revealed and not concealed. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was not a cook.

"We will wait and see what happens, stay alert, and tell me if you have any questions."

The two spoke in low voices and Xu Zhao didn't hear anything. She didn't know that they were discussing her life and death again.

After receiving the order, Fang Xuren withdrew.

It was already dark outside the tent, and everyone except the patrolling soldiers was resting.

"Um... where do I live?"

Being unfamiliar with the place and alone with his wife, Xu Zhao felt a little at a loss.

Chen Yu was stunned and actually forgot about this question.

If it was someone he knew well, Chen Yu would have agreed to let Xu Zhao sleep on his couch, but at this moment Xu Zhao was just a strange woman whom he had met twice.

"Someone come here!" Chen Yu walked straight to the entrance of the tent and shouted.

The soldier standing by walked over quickly, "Your Majesty."

"Go and bring over a soft couch and a quilt." After giving his instructions, Chen Yu walked back into the tent.

He said to Xu Zhao, "Stay in my tent tonight. I'll have someone prepare a small tent for you tomorrow."

"Thank you." A soft couch and a quilt are enough to get through this long night.

Although it was already dark here, it was still daytime in Xu Zhao's time. For her, it was only eight or nine in the morning, not even time for lunch, so Xu Zhao was not sleepy at all.

But since he can sit back and relax now, Xu Zhao naturally cannot miss it.

The soldiers were well-trained and moved very quickly, and soon moved the couch into the tent.

The rest of the people quickly retreated, and before retreating they secretly glanced at Xu Zhao. There was actually a woman in the prince's tent! And he actually prepared a soft bed for this woman.

In one night, the entire Yue Kingdom military camp knew that their prince had a close relationship with a cook.

By the time Xu Zhao found out, it was already the next day.

That night, Xu Zhao lay obediently on the couch with her clothes on. In the second half of the night, it was her biological clock for sleeping, and she slowly closed her eyes.

When he woke up, it was already bright. Xu Zhao stood up and looked into the tent. The other couch was empty. He didn't know where Chen Yu had gone.

Xu Zhao stood up and walked out.

Outside the tent, two soldiers were standing at the door. When Xu Zhao came out, the two men looked at each other silently and had a simple eye exchange.

The military camp was very desolate, with stones all over the ground. Fortunately, she always wore comfortable shoes when participating in variety shows. The soles of her shoes were very thick, so she didn't feel any pain when walking on the stone road.

Xu Zhao walked idly in the military camp, thinking about getting familiar with the environment first.

There were soldiers standing guard at the door of every tent in the military camp, and a "ha" sound was heard not far away.

With no purpose in mind, Xu Zhao walked towards the direction of the sound.

It was her first time to be at an ancient scene and she was curious about everything.

Perhaps because she was wearing cook's clothes, the patrolling soldiers she met along the way did not stop her.

Arriving at the martial arts training ground, Xu Zhao stood and watched from a distance.

Chen Yu stood on the high platform, and the soldiers below were lined up neatly, practicing every move in unison.

Fang Xuren's eyes kept scanning below, his face tense and looking very serious.

"Your Majesty, Miss Xu Zhao is standing at the entrance of the martial arts training ground."

Even though his own prince chose to keep Xu Zhao, Fang Xuren still did not trust Xu Zhao. As long as Xu Zhao was involved, everything had to be done with caution.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yu looked towards the door and indeed saw Xu Zhao standing at the door with an open mind, looking very frank.

"It's okay. Today we are just practicing moves. It doesn't involve any military strategy."

After watching for a while, Xu Zhao felt bored and turned away without looking back.

Fang Xuren's attention has been on Xu Zhao since he saw her. When she left, he let out a breath and continued to stare at the soldiers who were practicing below.

Xu Zhao continued walking aimlessly, not knowing where he was, when he was suddenly stopped by a man in coarse linen clothes.

"Are you the new cook? The kitchen is too busy. Come with me to the kitchen and cook together."

The man walked quickly in one direction.

Thinking he was bored, Xu Zhao went over to play around.

"Brother, my name is Xu Zhao, what's your name?" Xu Zhao followed behind him.

The man in front of me was quite simple. "My name is Liu Dazhuang, you can just call me Brother Liu."

Xu Zhao heard this and asked, "Brother Liu, are you from the border?"

"Yes, my family has been cooking for border generals for three generations."

Liu Dazhuang didn't think much about it and just blurted out the information.

As they were talking, Xu Zhao had already followed Liu Dazhuang to the kitchen, and indeed saw that the kitchen was bustling with activity.

The young and strong ones were chopping wood, the older ones were making a fire, and more people were washing and cutting vegetables. Only one male chef was frying vegetables vigorously with a spatula.

"Our other chef sprained his waist today and didn't come today. A Zhao, can you cook?" Liu Dazhuang looked at Xu Zhao, who had thin arms and legs, and was very skeptical.
