Half an hour later,

There were four pots of cabbage stewed with vermicelli on two long dining tables. Each pot was filled with a layer of red oil and green frozen coriander. The rich spicy aroma of fennel, star anise and sand ginger filled the whole room.

Twenty bowls of snow-white rice were placed on both sides of the table.

Mu Zili and his soldiers filed in and took their seats.

When the soldiers saw the different Chinese cabbage stewed with vermicelli, their eyes widened.

“It looks delicious!”

"I like red peppers. The hotter the better!"

Mu Zili glanced at An Muxi beside him.

"Money Bag, you should cook every day from now on. Even a cabbage stewed with vermicelli looks so good!"

Mu Xi picked up the soup bowl and took a big sip. "I left a lot of spicy hotpot soup ingredients. They can make it themselves. It's just that it's very spicy. Eating too much is not good for the stomach."

Mu Zili suddenly thought of something, "Where did you get this soybean paste? Could it be sent by your mysterious brother?" He looked inquiringly.

"Yes, he gave it to me," Mu Xi took a mouthful of rice and put it into his mouth, chewing greedily.

"Introduce me to him when you have the chance!"

"He doesn't want to know you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier rushed in.

"Boss, something bad has happened. Many soldiers from Huainan have gathered under the city wall. They said they lost a soldier and want to search the city. The general wants you to go there immediately!"

"What?" An Muxi put down his chopsticks, "Damn it, this is going to be the Marco Polo Bridge Incident."

Mu Zili didn't have time to see Mu Xi's intense reaction, "Everyone stop eating, grab your weapons and go take a look!" After that, he strode out of the barracks.

Everyone's expressions immediately became serious and they all walked out.

An Muxi looked at the two cooks who were picking up bowls and said, "Carry two bags of flour and follow me!"

"Well, without the boss's order, we dare not touch anything in the kitchen!"

"Stop it!" Mu Xi took out two taels of silver from his pocket, "This is enough! I'm taking you to help the boss fight, you're not a living mud."

city ​​gate.

Large numbers of Daxia soldiers gathered one after another, all with serious expressions. The soldiers carried rolling logs and kerosene to the city wall, and torches were constantly lit and inserted into the city wall.

General Mu Lao stood at the city gate with a stern expression, his armor shining coldly in the night.

I saw a large group of Huainan soldiers standing at the foot of the city gate and shouting, and some soldiers were digging trenches in the distance.

Ever since the Sixth Princess didn't want to marry the Prince of Huainan and ran away secretly, these soldiers from Huainan have come to curse her every now and then.

"You old fool, open the door. Our Huainan soldiers are missing. They must have been abducted by your Daxia. Open the door. We need to search."

"They are just a bunch of cowards who dare not open the gate at all, because if they open the gate, Cangzhou will be ours."

"Hahaha, that old man probably has trouble even peeing, how can he guard the border?"

All the Huainan soldiers burst into laughter again.

Mu Zili hurriedly climbed up the city wall. Looking at the Huainan soldiers at the foot of the city wall, he became even more nervous. He looked at General Mu and said, "Grandpa, they come every now and then. Are they deliberately looking for trouble?"

"Ok!"

"Then what should we do?" He glanced at the soldiers inside the city gate, there were less than a thousand people in total.

"Just wait and see what happens!"

General Mu glanced at the soldier carrying kerosene behind him. How could he not know Zi Li's worries? There were less than a thousand soldiers stationed in Cangzhou, and the combat effectiveness was not strong. All the elite soldiers and generals were sent to the battlefield of the second prince. Even if there were strong soldiers and generals, the rolling logs and kerosene in the city would not be able to fight many battles.

Seeing that Daxia had no response, the Huainan soldiers started to curse again, "You Daxia soldiers are all raised like animals. If you don't open the city gate, we will have to ram it down."

"Hahaha, it's raised by an animal!!!"

"They don't dare to come out to fight, because they will lose if they fight!"

Another round of laughter.

……

Hearing the shouting from below the city gate, An Muxi was enraged. He quickly climbed up the city wall with two cooks, and clung to the battlements, cursing.

"You people in Huainan Kingdom can only mate, you will never fight!" A crisp voice cut through the darkness, and everyone was shocked.

"Hahaha, the Huainan Kingdom can only mate but not fight!" The soldiers of Daxia suddenly burst into laughter. They had been holding it in for a long time, but the old general did not like to lose heart.

Mu Zili looked at the two cooks behind Mu Xi and asked, "Why are you carrying two bags of flour?"

"Fight! I bought this for two taels of silver!"

A cook took out two taels of silver from his pocket and said, "Boss, this is from An Xin."

"Nonsense!" General Mu was a little angry. The enemy was at the gates of the city and life and death were at stake, yet Princess Duan was still making trouble.

Mu Xi saluted General Mu and said, "General, don't underestimate these two bags of flour. If you don't do it, Huainan will cry for its mother."

"Bang~~~~~~~~Bang~~~~~~~~Bang~~~~~~" There was a loud sound of banging on the door under the city gate.

"Open the door, we want to go into the city to find someone!"

"Open the door, open the door."

Mu Xi looked at General Mu with certainty, "General, they are testing our bottom line. Didn't you see that they didn't use a battering ram? If we are ruthless enough, they will stop. Why not let An Xin give it a try!"

General Mu thought for a moment and turned sideways.

"Come here," Mu Xi brought two cooks to the top of the city gate.

When a bag of flour was opened, it poured out like a waterfall. In the darkness, no one could see what it was.

Suddenly, a huge fire broke out at the foot of the city gate, and the soldiers of Huainan Kingdom were immediately caught on fire. Everyone retreated, losing their arrogance.

Mu Zili was delighted when he saw this, "Money bag, you are so smart!"

Looking at the Huainan soldiers screaming in the fire, Mu Xi had no mercy at all. These invaders were just like the Japanese devils back then. He didn't catch up with them back then, so now he was taking revenge.

"Zi Li, throw this bag of flour into the crowd, and then shoot a rocket. There will be a big explosion." After saying that, he opened the bag of flour.

Mu Zili excitedly picked up the flour bag and threw it towards the soldiers of Huainan Kingdom. The flour formed a perfect arc in the air. Soon, this arc became a sea of ​​fire, accompanied by a violent explosion.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky at the foot of the city gate.

All this happened in a flash, and both the Daxia soldiers on the city wall and the Huainan soldiers at the foot of the city gate were startled.

"Ah, help!" The soldiers of Huainan Kingdom screamed in pain, and some rolled on the snow.

Mu Xi looked at the fire men and shouted again,

"I told you Huainan people can only mate, not fight!" I didn't hate them that much, but they actually wanted to replicate the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, so I became more hostile!!!
