When Ning Qing returned with the roasted pork, he found that his wife was no longer in the tent.
Ning Qing asked the soldier guarding outside the tent to run to the kitchen and bring a plate of meat.
Of course, to express her gratitude, Ning Qing also took out a piece of roasted pork from her space for them to try.
Ning Qing had plates for serving meat in her space, but the ones in her space were either gold or jade.
Taking it out would just seem out of place here! Besides, my wife isn't stupid; she'll definitely get suspicious.
Where would a penniless male prostitute like myself get such high-end goods?
You could choose to deceive, but it's too much trouble to deceive someone just for the sake of a plate!
When Ning Qing arrived at the council tent with a large plate of sliced roasted pork, there were only two people inside.
The wife was with another middle-aged man in white.
The two people in the council tent looked up and saw Ning Qing's arrival, and then they saw the bowl of meat she was carrying.
The strategist smiled and stood up. "General, I won't disturb your meal any longer. I'll head back now."
Meng Zhengxi nodded to him.
"Okay, we'll discuss the rest tomorrow."
Ning Qing placed the meat on the table and pushed it in front of his wife.
"General, try my roasted wild boar meat."
Meng Zhengxi looked at the roasted meat in front of him, picked up his chopsticks, took a piece, and put it in his mouth.
"Mmm, delicious."
Ning Qing sat down next to him, poured him a glass of wine, and handed it to him.
"Eating grilled meat alone can be a bit greasy, so let's have some wine to cut through the richness."
Meng Zhengxi looked at the wine Ning Qing handed him and spoke with a serious expression.
"Xiao Qing, drinking is not allowed in the military camp."
Ning Qing raised an eyebrow.
"Don't be afraid to drink a little."
Meng Zhengxi shook her head, refusing with great principle.
"As the commander-in-chief in the military camp, I should abide by military regulations and not drink alcohol."
Ning Qing could only purse her lips and tilt her head back to drink the wine in her glass.
Meng Zhengxi snatched the wine jar from Ning Qing's hand.
"Although you haven't officially enlisted yet, you're practically part of the military now. You should abide by military regulations and not drink alcohol."
Ning Qing... His wife doesn't drink herself, but she won't let him drink either?
His gaze shifted, and something flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, I won't drink."
Seeing that Ning Qing was so easy to talk to, Meng Zhengxi felt a little guilty.
"In a few days, I'll take you to a tavern in town, and you can drink to your heart's content."
Ning Qing: "Okay."
He picked up his chopsticks, grabbed some roasted meat, and started feeding his wife.
"General, after we finish eating, let's go to the lake where we bathed last time and wash up."
Meng Zhengxi thought that she hadn't showered today, and she did feel a bit uncomfortable.
So he nodded and agreed.
By the time the two finished dinner, it was already completely dark outside.
The two rode the same horse once again, but this time their seats had changed.
Ning Qing insisted that Meng Zhengxi sit in the front, citing his poor health.
She sat behind him, holding the rope with one hand and wrapping her other arm around his waist.
With a shout of "Giddy up!", the horse galloped forward with all its might.
Before long, the two arrived at the lakeside.
Ning Qing once again used the excuse that Meng Zhengxi was feeling unwell to help him take off his clothes.
Meng Zhengxi said, "My body is perfectly fine now, I can do it myself."
Ning Qing leaned close to his ear and whispered something.
"General, with me by your side, why do you need to lift a finger?"
“I would be more than happy to serve you, my general.”
