As the night grew darker, Liang Qingyu finally hurried over.

And Abao left them alone for a quiet moment, then went back to the big tent, spread out paper and grind ink, and picked up his pen to draw.

When the black-robed King lifted the curtain and entered the tent carrying a food box, he saw A-Bao bent over his desk, writing furiously, frowning from time to time and looking very worried.

He slowed down his pace until he sat down beside her. Although he had executed a group of barbarian spies with a cold face just a moment ago, the black-robed king was gentle and careful at this moment, as if his heavier breathing could scare his Abao.

A Bao was unaware of anything and was thinking while biting the tip of his pen.

Meng Guanjing had heard and witnessed many things while she was imprisoned, and after piecing together the bits and pieces, she was able to figure out some of the key points.

It turned out that Qin Jin, King Qin, and the young King Gesa were all old acquaintances.

In the early years, the King of Qin accepted the proposal of King Gesa and prepared to completely resolve the rebellion in the northern border through peace talks.

But inside the barbarian royal city, as soon as King Gesa proposed to submit to Daqi, he immediately angered the noble leaders of the sixteen tribes and even the common people.

At the same time, the second prince Ule, who had established himself in the barbarian council hall with his military exploits, was even more furious and wanted to kill his brother.

Later, Wule took a fancy to the witch of the Red Flame Mountain, Mi Dai, who was respected by the barbarian people. The two ambitious people hit it off immediately.

There was a sudden palace coup among the barbarians. Ule and Midai killed King Gesa, and with the help of the so-called Red Flame God, they successfully usurped the throne and took control of the sixteen tribes of the barbarians.

"I can't remember exactly which day it was that the Taoist Priest met the Witch Queen in the Red Flame Golden Palace." Meng Guanjing's memory was fragmented, so he could only give a rough idea: "The Taoist Priest tried to blackmail him, saying that it was he who helped the Witch Queen plot against the King of Qin, so that the King of Qin was forced to send Qin Jin into the palace, and even the death of the deposed Queen Qin was caused by the Taoist Priest using the clues in the Records of Yu's Governance to lead the deposed Queen Qin to the Peach Blossom Valley in the northern border."

"The Barbarian Crimson Flame Witch, whose talent in mystical arts is enough to rival that of the deposed Queen Qin, and with the help of the Elder Dao..."

A Bao vaguely remembered the portrait hanging high in the bamboo building.

With a quick glance, he thought it was his uncle Feng Ran, dressed in a black robe and heavy armor.

But according to Meng Guanjing, who exactly the person in the portrait is remains to be discussed.

"This painting is all over the place..." The black-robed King saw that A-Bao was sulking in worry, so he spoke softly, "My A-Bao is here, trying to sort out his thoughts?"

A Bao simply lay down on the desk and originally planned to give up thinking for the time being, but the unresolved doubts in her heart made her unable to relax.

"I'm totally confused and feel it's not auspicious. I need to think it over. Little uncle! When we were in the Barbarian Kingdom, I overheard the witch queen ask King Wule - the peach blossoms are going to bloom again this year, but do you still want to go? It sounds like King Wule has seen the peach blossoms in previous years."

"And that Peach Blossom Snow Valley is the place on the northern border where Daqi and the barbarians are closest to each other."

After saying this, A Bao smelled the rich milky aroma and turned back. He saw the black-robed uncle taking out a plate of cakes from the food box and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's delicious!"

“Crush the dried white pine nuts, add almonds, hazelnuts and peanuts, and stir-fry with locust flower honey.” The black-robed king explained seriously.

Last year, Yongyuan Trading Company frequently traveled between the imperial capital and Jiangnan for business, and then transported the goods from the imperial capital to the northern border via the Golden Straight Road.

Now that the war has reignited, those goods have been transformed into food and supplies.

This time, in the bitterly cold battlefield of the northern frontier, there is so much food.

"Little uncle~ I didn't even hear the kitchen tent exploded?" A Bao put his arms around his uncle's waist with a wicked smile, but the next moment the man pulled him into his arms and pinched his face with his big hands.

"Thanks to my A-bao, I found a very good stir-fried food chef in the northern border. The deputy commander of the camp was finally relieved of his worries." The black-robed king opened the second and third food boxes, which contained amethyst cakes, butter cakes, mutton dumplings, steamed cheese with sugar, and taro rolls...

"Try them all. If you like them, eat more. If you don't like them, try something else next time." The black-robed king frowned and pinched Po's face. "You've become thinner."

Before he could finish his words, he was kissed lightly on the lips.

The black-robed king was stunned for a moment, and Po in front of him smiled triumphantly: "The goblin is here to absorb the yang energy!"

“…Xuanyuan Diyang…” The black-robed King’s eyes darkened slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice: “After ten months, you are finished.”

Hearing this, A Bao approached the black-robed uncle with sparkling eyes, and pecked his lips again when he was not paying attention.

"Hehe~ No matter what! Bullying the little uncle is fun~~"
