Huangfu Shaohua stared at the whole roasted lamb on the stainless steel baking tray and the Wuliangye liquor in the glass bottle, his face turning green.

"Qin Yue Zhao! Do you know the current situation? Even His Highness wouldn't dare to be so extravagant. You're eating a whole roasted lamb and using a glass bottle to hold wine? Are you trying to rebel?"

However, his voice was immediately drowned out by a scream that suddenly came from behind him:

"My God, this chicken is so delicious! I've never eaten chicken like this before in my entire life. What kind of cooking method is this?"

Ling Tianen walked up with a smile.

"This is called Kende Chicken. You won't find another one like it anywhere else in the entire Kyushu, let alone in Da Gan!"

"Really? Liangcheng actually has such amazing food. It's truly an eye-opener."

"General Ling, General Ling, what about this? What's this thing called—a steamed bun with a big chunk of meat inside, and a white, sticky substance that tastes sweet like honey?"

"This is called a hamburger. It has chunks of beef and salad dressing inside. Isn't it delicious?"

"Mmm, delicious! We've been traveling at breakneck speed all this time and haven't even had a proper meal yet. This feast is better than any palace banquet I've ever had."

Seeing this, Huo Tingye walked up behind Qin Yuezhao in disbelief and whispered, "Your Highness, when did you ask the gods to send this food? How can you give such delicious food to them?"

Huo Sanbao and the other deputy generals also looked unhappy.

“Your Highness, these are all gifts from the gods. Huangfu Shaohua has come to seize power. In my humble opinion, it is already good enough to feed them some horse feed and bran.”

"That's right, whose lackey is Huangfu Shaohua? What has he done for the Huo family? Has he ever fought off the Northern Barbarians or the Great Wei? Why should he enjoy this delicious food?"

"After they've had their fill of food and drink, I'll use a chainsaw to send them all away."

The lieutenants were resentful, wishing they were being set up for a trap.

Qin Yue Zhao patted Huo Tingye on the shoulder, but did not tell him her plan. Instead, she said, "As the commander of the Huo family army, you should have a couple of drinks with General Huangfu."

Huo Tingye was dumbfounded.

As a member of the Huo family, he had witnessed many conspiracies and schemes, both in the imperial court and on the battlefield.

His Highness is always decisive and swift in resolving complex situations.

But this time, even though he knew Huangfu Shaohua was there to seize power, he was still able to be amiable, which puzzled him.

Seeing that he didn't move, Qin Yue Zhao leaned slightly to his ear and said, "Let's try to be polite first, then use force. Don't be impatient."

Instantly, Huo Tingye's eyes lit up, and the anger on his face immediately turned into a smile.

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"

However, the next second, a roar and curses came from the main seating area not far away:

"Insolence! The Imperial Guards are here on His Majesty's orders to escort criminals back to the capital, not to drink and have fun. You've only been here one day and you're already so relaxed. What kind of behavior is this?"

Huangfu Shaohua snatched a hamburger from a lieutenant and slammed it onto the table.

Although the lieutenant was terrified and his face turned ashen, his eyes remained fixed on the food on the table, and he swallowed uncontrollably.

They came from Kyoto, and although they received provisions from the imperial court, the amount was far from enough to sustain them for three meals a day.

They hadn't eaten for two days, and hadn't even had a sip of water.

With so many delicious foods and fine wines in Liangcheng, it's like a paradise on earth. How could he not be tempted?

However, Huangfu Shaohua was ruthless. He would rather kill a horse and cook its meat than let his soldiers eat Qin Yuezhao's food. Once they ate Qin Yuezhao's food, their hearts would be biased.

The laughter in the banquet hall came to an abrupt halt.

A deathly silence fell over the room.

In the end, Qin Yue Zhao stepped forward with a forced smile.

"General Huangfu, I have been grateful for the hard work of the Cavalry, which is why I have hosted a grand banquet for them. Why are you angry?"

"Do you... think that the soldiers of the Valiant Cavalry are not worthy of enjoying these delicacies?"

Huangfu Shaohua's expression changed.

Princess Yue Zhao hosted a banquet for the soldiers, who were naturally extremely grateful.
