Chapter 26 Bonfire Banquet
The weather in November was already chilly, so the proposal for a bonfire party came at the perfect time. Besides, Chu Mo had returned triumphantly from suppressing the bandits, so it was just in time for the celebration.
Therefore, before he finished speaking, Shen Fu actively shouted in support, and Wen Zhixun also nodded in agreement.
They made arrangements quickly, and the soldiers in the barracks cheered in surprise. Everything was ready in a short while.
The food was prepared by the cooks, the women, or the common people who volunteered to help.
The Chu army stayed at the border for many years, and some soldiers settled down here, living happily with their wives and children.
The general's mansion is very large, and it is not just Chu Mo and the other two who live there. Some generals or their wives also live there, just like Li Qing.
Tonight, women and children also came to the military camp. It was a rare occasion for them to get together. Of course, the soldiers on duty would not forget their duties.
As night fell, the sky was covered with a layer of black, but the sky above the military camp was dyed with a glow of fire, as if a ray of light suddenly appeared in the darkness, stretching out, close at hand yet far away in the sky.
In fact, it’s not quite a bonfire party. It was just a few big fires with a group of people eating, drinking and chatting around them.
But the atmosphere was always different, just like the blazing fire in the middle. Everyone was laughing and full of joy. For a moment, it was more eye-catching than the fire that dyed half of the starry sky red.
When she was in the capital, because Jing Xuan was of noble status and favored, all the banquets were proud to invite her. The little princess herself was playful, so she would not refuse, and she even participated in many male-dominated activities such as polo and cuju.
However, the capital city does not have the conditions, and few people would hold a bonfire party.
In the eyes of the young ladies and gentlemen from aristocratic families, a bonfire party is not elegant and does not suit their temperament, so there is naturally no need to hold it.
Therefore, this was the first time that Jing Xuan witnessed such a hot and enjoyable scene.
It was clearly just a few ordinary fires, there were clearly just dozens of tables with some dishes that were not considered delicacies, they were clearly just chatting and laughing or singing and dancing like in the past, and the people were clearly the same...
But……
When the firelight spread on the smiling faces, those familiar or unfamiliar faces, she felt that they were more dazzling and sincere than the group of people in the capital who were composing elegant poems or showing off their new jewelry.
Their smiles were more sincere than those of the young men who pretended to attract her attention, and the noble ladies who were undercurrents.
Such a smile has an inexplicable appeal that makes people smile unconsciously.
Jing Yu wondered curiously: [What are they talking about? 】
Chu Mo paused as he picked up some food for her, glanced at Shen Fu who was showing off his bigger abdominal muscles at the same table, twitched the corner of his mouth, and decisively picked up the kitten and left.
"Meow?"
Where to go? 】
Chu Mo raised his lips but said nothing.
He glanced at the table of people who were laughing so hard that they were hiccuping, walked over slowly, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Chu Feng was at this table. Perhaps he was a little drunk, and he yelled with a big tongue: "General, we are talking about the time when our second grandson fell down and ate dog shit when he was a child."
Jing Xuan: “…”
Chu Mo: “…”
He glanced at the person expressionlessly, then walked away with the kitten in his arms.
Chu Feng was still yelling: "I haven't finished speaking yet, he accidentally swallowed the shit after eating it——"
Chu Mo had a cold face, covered the kitten's ears and walked away quickly.
After walking away, he explained seriously with a straight face: "It was an accident. It was just an accident."
To prove it, he changed another table, and then -
"General, we were discussing whose is bigger..."
Jing Yu tilted her head curiously. What was bigger?
Before she could think about it, Chu Mo ran away with the cat in his arms.
I happened to pass by a table and heard someone say, "If you ask me, Ling'er is the best. She has fair skin, beautiful looks, and a big butt. When I save up enough money, I will redeem her and bring her home to be my wife, hehehe..."
He has great ambitions, but these words are not suitable for the little princess to hear.
Chu Mo quietly pricked up his ears, wanting to listen to the little princess's thoughts, and the next moment -
[Alas~ Why are Chu Mo’s soldiers like this? ah! By the way, my brother said that soldiers should resemble their commander, so...】
Jing Xuan stared at Chu Mo in shock with her cat-like pupils wide open, feeling that her three perspectives had been completely washed away.
[Chu Mo can eat shit!] Chu Mo likes fair skin and beautiful girls. Fart, well, a little shy… just, just beauties with big things there, and… what does it mean whose is bigger? What's so big? Well... Chu Mo is the most powerful, so no matter what it is, it must be Chu Mo's biggest! ! ! 】
Chu Mo: “…”
"??!!"
He was instantly drained of all his strength and even felt a little dizzy. He didn't know where to start explaining.
Sure enough, he and the prince did have some enmity. If their relationship was better, he wouldn't have tricked him to this extent! !
besides……
He rubbed Jing Xuan's little head, his fingertips trembled for a moment, and his smile was forced and stiff.
I'm shy when talking about my butt, how dare I talk about that part...
Little princess, how could you do this? ? Can you think of anything? ? ?
"Little guy, you are awesome."
A calm voice fell into her ears, and Jing Xuan suddenly felt a little cold. She snuggled into the arms of someone who was laughing out of anger.
While feeling cold, she realized that Chu Mo was praising her!
So, the little princess, who believed that she would be confident when praised, immediately straightened her back and raised her chin slightly, thinking that she was reserved and noble, but in fact her fur was messed up, and she could still think proudly - "Chu Mo, you are also great, smart and wise, with a keen eye for pearls, and your words are as good as pearls! ! 】
[Wow~ Three words in a row, I’m so awesome! 】
Chu Mo: “…”
Chu Mo was so angry that he laughed.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that the little princess was the best at her studies and was praised by the tutor every day, and it turned out to be true.
Chu Mo shook his head in annoyance and amusement. Just as he was about to speak, he heard his active inner voice ringing in his ears again.
[Hmm... I'm hungry again after walking around. 】
Chu Mo smiled softly: "Are you hungry?"
"Meow?"
[How did you know?] 】
Chu Mo said nothing and strode back to his seat.
After leaving for about a cup of tea, Chen Fu was still talking about how big and beautiful his abdominal muscles were, but compared to before, his voice was more erratic and his bronze cheeks were much redder, and he was obviously drunk.
Seeing Chu Mo coming back, Shen Fu's eyes lit up, and he was about to pounce on the kitten like a hungry wolf, but was kicked away.
Chu Mo retracted his strong and powerful long legs and glanced at him unhappily: "Get away from me, don't scare the little guy."
Having drunk too much, Shen Fu's eyes were a little moist, and he looked quite pitiful when he was kicked to the ground.
Jing Xuan blinked. She rarely saw people drunk, so she was quite interested.
Chu Mo looked at Wen Zhixun: "How much did he drink?"
The latter pointed to the empty wine bottles on the ground. At a glance, there were about a dozen bottles.
"Drinking so much?"
"Not much, not much." Shen Fu stuck out his tongue and waved his hand.
Chu Mo didn't want to pay any attention to the drunkard, so after sitting down, he served the food to Jing Yun and ate some himself.
A lot of wine was prepared tonight, and Chen Fu did drink a lot, but there were still quite a few bottles left.
Chu Mo picked up a bottle, opened the lid and started drinking.
The handsome young man was quite attractive when drinking. His protruding Adam's apple rolled up and down as he swallowed, his jawline was smooth and clear, his high nose bridge and prominent brow bones looked even more beautiful and stunning under the light of the fire, his eyes were deep and dark, his thin lips were moist and bright red, which added a bit of sexiness and evilness to his usual gentle appearance.
A few strands of hair naturally fell in front of his forehead. Chu Mo brushed them aside and inadvertently met Jing Yu's infatuated gaze. He smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
Jing Xuan swallowed, and for a moment she didn't know whether she swallowed food or... saliva.
[So handsome!] ! 】
Chu Mo paused, put his fist to his lips, and chuckled softly.
The low voice was mellow and pleasant, with a slight smell of alcohol entering Jing Xuan's ears. Suddenly, she felt a little drunk herself.
[Ah~ As expected, beauty is like wine and poison... So tempting~]
Chu Mo's smile froze, and he instantly put on a face-changing show.
He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Eat quickly!"
"Meow?"
Lady Chu took a deep breath and said, "I'll take you somewhere else to play later."
"Meow!"
Jing Xuan's eyes lit up, and she stopped thinking about it and started eating seriously.
