Chapter 197 Eating Hot Pot Alone
I have to praise Mo Beiyuan, fighting is indeed what he is good at.
Not enough people?
The original inhabitants of Hantian Valley, plus the troops brought by Mo Mingyuan to guard the mine, were not ordinary soldiers, but elites, many of whom could fight one against a hundred. The guards of Yanzhou had also arrived outside the mountain.
Where do you live?
The commercial center outside the city that the two had planned to build was already complete and ready for immediate use. It had walls and buildings, no camp needed. It served as both a camp and the last line of defense for Hantian Valley.
What to eat?
Feng Aoqing's greenhouse base was not far from this commercial center. After Mo Beiyuan arrived, he transported various livestock from Yanzhou. Now they not only had rice, vegetables, and meat, but more importantly, war horses.
What to wear?
The Lou family's embroidery workshop, cloth workshop, and cotton workshop were all put to use, and with the help of women from the people who volunteered, they made thousands of undergarments, military uniforms, lightweight cotton coats, and quilts in three days.
Just making shoes takes time, and Feng Aoqing took them from the space, and they have everything.
In the wind and snow, Feng Aoqing met Mo Beiyuan for the first time.
"Why do you need to wear armor when the fighting hasn't started yet?" she asked.
"Armor is the bones of a soldier. Without it, you are not going to the battlefield." Mo Beiyuan replied.
"So that's how it is." Feng Aoqing nodded.
"At a time like this, you must not act willfully and stay in the city."
"knew."
Although it was useless to say it, Mo Beiyuan still said it.
Seeing that he was worried, Feng Aoqing said again: "Don't worry, I will take care of the Mo family."
Mo Beiyuan smiled helplessly: "I know it's no longer your responsibility to take care of this now, but I still want to ask you to do it."
Feng Aoqing nodded: "Then I wish the general a successful start and a speedy return!"
Mo Beiyuan mounted his horse and rode away without looking back.
The Mo family members saw Mo Beiyuan and Mo Mingyuan off not far behind Feng Aoqing.
Tian Ying'er also said the same thing to Mo Mingyuan: "Don't worry about going to the battlefield, I will take care of the family."
Mo Mingyuan shook her hand and rode out on his horse.
Until the two of them disappeared, Feng Aoqing said calmly: "No one is watching, let's make something delicious!"
"Sister-in-law, is this really okay for you? I want to eat hot pot." Mo Minglei said first.
"I think it's okay." Tian Ying'er seconded.
The three of them were not unintentional, but had great confidence in them.
Feng Aoqing left An Lei in the city to investigate the Tianyao Kingdom's activities.
Neither she nor Tian Ying'er told Mo Beiyuan about this.
Feng Aoqing was afraid that once Mo Beiyuan left and a war broke out outside the city, Tianyao would take action. She was even more afraid that Tianyao and Nanqi were in cahoots and were trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Fortunately, the defenders of Yanzhou are about to arrive, so there is no need to worry too much, as long as we don’t get attacked.
The whole family happily ate hot pot.
It was arranged in the snow house in the Feng family yard.
Yue Jiu had never seen anyone eat hot pot, he had only eaten stewed food in a pot.
It was the first time for him to see raw meat on the table and eat it right after it was boiled, so he was a little hesitant.
Lu Xiaolian, who was sitting opposite him, saw that he was a little at a loss, so she boiled some beef for him to try.
An Lei was almost moved to tears by the delicious taste. He loves sesame paste very much.
"If you don't come, we won't be able to eat hot pot. When we were about to eat, my sister started sighing and saying that hot pot should be enjoyed by the whole family. I was so scared that I didn't even dare to mention it. I want sesame sauce, oil and chili! No one wants to persuade me today. I want to eat until my throat is full."
"Kid, what should we do if he gets too full? We are here anyway, so just eat whenever you want!" Qin Lancui handed him a piece of marbling beef from a distance.
"Haha, what the old lady said is right." An Lei put the marinated beef into his mouth.
Yue Jiu said nothing and tried it carefully. It was tender and fragrant. The bowl of ingredients in his hand was prepared by Lu Xiaolian for him.
"Is the bowl suitable?"
"suitable."
There are a lot of chili peppers in the bowl because he likes spicy food.
He looked up and saw a face with a gentle smile through the steam emanating from the pot.
Lu Xiaolian smiled and used a small spoon to scoop out a beef tendon ball for him.
"It's hot, let it sit for a while before eating."
"Oh, okay."
......
Capital city.
In the study of the imperial palace, some people were eating hot pot, crying and cursing while eating.
"Is it okay to eat hot pot alone?! Is it okay?!"
"If you don't come back, if you don't deliver a single letter, then I'm not a relative! I'm not a brother?! But I'm still the emperor! I don't need to worry about it, I don't need to care about it, right?"
"They must be eating hot pot! They eat hot pot when there are a lot of people. Don't think I don't know! I eat it too! I'll piss you off!"
"But I don't have any marinated beef!"
“No piss beef balls either!”
"I don't have shrimp paste yet! Shrimp paste is my favorite!"
"Xiaofubao?! Which bag of Xiaofubao is this?! Where's the fish roe?! How dare you call it Xiaofubao without the fish roe!!!"
Mo Nanzhou threw down his chopsticks.
The eunuch Bai Shan who was serving was a loyal man left by Mo Beiyuan, and he quickly changed the chopsticks for him.
"Your Majesty, please don't be upset. I've already gone through our own channels to get news! I'll have it soon!"
"Really..."
"Your Majesty, don't be too sad. Everything will come back. How can you not be important? You are the most important."
"Really..."
"yes."
"Then why doesn't Jin Ge want me?!"
Baishan is just afraid that his master will bring up this issue, the only one that has no solution.
"Miss An, she will come back too."
"Really..."
Someone outside the door said there was an urgent military report.
Mo Nanzhou wiped away a tear, and the emperor's mind immediately activated: "Quick, present!"
Baishan had already gone out and brought the newspaper back.
"Logically, Zhao Jing has been settled. What fire has not been put out and has reignited?" Mo Nanzhou said in surprise.
"Are the generals outside? Call them in."
"The General of the State is here, but no one else is here."
The General of the State came in and saluted.
Mo Nanzhou was a little confused. If it was really a big deal, the four generals would definitely come together to discuss it. Only one of them came, which meant it was not a big deal.
But, no, why come so late in the evening instead of tomorrow morning?
He then said, "General, just tell me directly! I won't read it anymore. Just tell me what to do with it. Don't keep me waiting."
To be honest, the General Auxiliary State was also confused. He sorted it out before telling Mo Nanzhou.
"Your Majesty, this letter was sent to me directly by Prince Yonglin. It contains three matters."
When Mo Nanzhou heard that it was Mo Beiyuan, he immediately sat up straight.
First, King Yonglin sent back a box of weapons and gave a brief account of the good mines in Hantian Valley.
Second, he mobilized troops from the three states behind Hantian Valley to expand to the north.
Third, he won’t be able to come back in a short time, so let him take good care of himself.
After hearing this, Mo Nanzhou was stunned for a moment, then waved towards Baishan: "Baishan, pinch me. Oh, if you don't dare, then I'll pinch you."
Bai Shan extended his hand, but said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I'm not dreaming. This is real."
"He really has nothing to do! He should just go and pursue the eldest sister-in-law! What the hell is he talking about! He doesn't want his wife anymore?!" Mo Nanzhou screamed.
