The Adventures of the Mad County King on the Domain [Infrastructure]

"See who you compare with." He Feiyun paused for a moment. He didn't pursue Xie Qian for crossing the border and interrupting his bathing, nor did he investigate the meaning of the interrupted topic. He just said, "There has never been a short person in my He family. I also have the blood of a foreign race. Among the brothers, even when they were young, they were not as good as they were when they were young, and most of them were higher than normal when they were adults. In addition, I often drank cow's milk and goat's milk since I was a child, and every meal was mainly meat, so I naturally became Tall and strong."

Xie Qian: "... Cow's milk? Goat's milk? Is it delicious? If there is a chance in the future, Gu also wants to taste it."

Never drank?How can it be?

He Feiyun looked at him inexplicably, and said: "I heard that there are many cattle, sheep and deer in the palace garden, don't they drink their milk?"

"I don't know... Maybe there is. It's just that I don't have a share." Xie Qian didn't want to continue the discussion, coughed lightly, and said, "General He, do you have extra bath beans? Can you give some to Gu?"

Don't have Xie Qian's share?He Feiyun was even more baffled. How could the majestic county king of a country not even drink the milk and goat milk in his own palace, so he couldn't help asking: "You came to take a bath, why did you come empty-handed? How dare you argue that you didn't come to peep?" ?”

Xie Qian had no choice but to tell the truth: "When General He came, he met Captain Chen? Why didn't he ask, why didn't the captain clean up after taking a bath?"

"..."

Without further explanation, He Feiyun realized that it was a mistake.

Chen Mang, the school lieutenant, is a fierce general under his command. He is unparalleled in the charge of killing the enemy, but in normal times, in many other aspects, it is really hard to describe.For example, they don't know how to advance or retreat, they like to attack aggressively, and they don't care much about being sloppy.

If Chen Mang came here to take a bath first, it would be impossible for the small pool to be clean and tidy, and even the dirt was so dirty that Xie Qian couldn't bear to look at it, and it was completely understandable.

But... the dignified county king, the emperor's only emperor's younger brother, who has never tasted milk, knows how to clean up, and cleans up the mess in a short time. Isn't that shocking enough?

He Feiyun was shocked, and was stunned for a long time, until Xie Qian washed his hair clumsily, finally couldn't stand it anymore, pressed him to the side of the pool, scooped up warm water, and rinsed and moistened his hair.

He said: "You are so proficient in sweeping and sweeping, but you can't wash your hair? I really don't know whether to praise you for having different interests, or think you are clumsy."

Xie Qian hurriedly raised his hands to cover his face, and said, "Why did the general say that? Sweeping is not a difficult task, no matter how stupid a person does it every day, he will become proficient. But washing your hair is not something you can do alone. Yes. If it wasn’t for the time when they had to meet people, the father-in-laws wouldn’t be willing to boil hot water for Gu.”

He spoke very frankly, as if what he stated was a matter of course, and there was nothing unusual about it.And he was slightly afraid, as if he was afraid of being choked or splashed with water, and he fell into He Feiyun's eyes exactly.

With just a few words, coupled with this most genuine and instinctive reaction, how could He Feiyun fail to understand the twists and turns.

Yes.Xie Qian is indeed under one person, above ten thousand people, the only younger brother of the emperor.

But he and the emperor Xie Liu were not siblings, and their birth mother's status was not high.Regardless of his identity, he is not a young man who has just passed the year of Zhixue.To be disrespectful, since the death of the biological mother who didn't even keep her name, he is essentially no different from an orphan.

A few years back, when the first emperor was still in power, no one took a little prince who had just left and had almost no background seriously.Today, the son and his brothers are fighting for the heir, and there is chaos inside and outside the palace. Not killing Xie Qian is already the greatest kindness the brothers have shown him, and it is impossible for them to care whether he is doing well or not.

Even knowing that Xie Qian is not doing well, so what?

Until the overall situation settled down and Xie Liu ascended the throne smoothly, as if repenting, from a certain day, he suddenly thought of the only surviving younger brother, how sincere could he be?I'm afraid it's far less sincere than being honest about your posthumous reputation.

He Feiyun didn't say a word, silently twirled the bath beans to make bubbles, and rubbed Xie Qian's loose black hair with his fingers.Xie Qian's hair was very soft, which matched his appearance without edges and corners very well.No matter what he experienced in childhood, Xie Qian still has fair skin with royal characteristics, but unlike his tall, literary and martial emperor brother, both his bones and skeleton are much slimmer.

Even the untrained servants of the He Mansion would never be so careless as to lose their eyes after washing their hair. How could the eunuchs who are good at serving in the palace garden be careless enough to make their master choke on water? !Unless it was done on purpose, there is no other explanation, but... such a soft touch, just how poisonous is it that you have the heart to treat it roughly?

He Feiyun's heart was full of emotions, this feeling made him very uncomfortable, but he was even more unable to direct his anger towards Xie Qian like before.He suppressed his emotions until he washed every strand of hair clean.

——"There are a lot of cattle, sheep and deer in the palace, don't they drink their milk?"

—— "...Maybe there is. There is no role for loneliness."

He Feiyun finally fully understood.

No matter how prosperous Chang'an is, there is not an inch of Xie Qian's position.

After rinsing off the foam, He Feiyun retreated to the other side.Xie Qian slowly opened his eyes, he seemed to be very surprised that An An'an had finished washing his hair, and thanked him repeatedly with some trepidation.

He Feiyun silently pushed the small wooden bucket containing bath beans and other bathing utensils over, and said: "If the king of the county needs it again, he can take it by himself, no need to ask."

Xie Qian smiled brightly, wiped the water on his face, and said happily: "Thank you General He, why does General He know everything, and he is good at everything?"

He didn't expect a response, hummed a cheerful little tune, and washed himself happily.

Xie Qian concentrated on taking a bath and stopped harassing her. It should have been a good thing, but He Feiyun couldn't get out of his heavy heart if he didn't come to pester her.

In a short while, He Feiyun had sneaked glances at Xie Qian countless times.His stature is a bit thin, his skin has not much color, and he is so pale that his bones can be seen through. No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary green young man.

After a while, he looked away.

Forget it, no matter how much hardship Xie Qian has experienced before, he is far away from Chang'an after all, maybe in the fief, he can live a little more comfortably and get fatter.

The moon rises and the moon sets, and the dew points on the leaf tips. In one night, I don’t know how many leaves are scattered in the forest, but more new plants are born by breaking the soil.

The united people and horses finally stepped into the mountain forest facing the rising sun, and the road conditions took a sharp turn and became much steeper.The ramps and the too narrow mountain road greatly hindered the speed of the horses and carts. After finally speeding up the progress, it was completely beaten back to its original shape in just one morning.

Of course, difficult mountain roads are not the only reason.

Another reason is that the chefs and craftsmen in Xie Qian's team started formal physical training - strictly following the plan written by He Feiyun.

For the craftsmen who will be supervisors, although it is hard work, it is not unbearable.After all, even if you are making small pieces, hammering and hammering are necessary. If you want to make large pieces of furniture and utensils, it is impossible not to waste your energy.Although the journey in the past few days has been hard, the intensity is far less than that of working in prison.

But the situation of the cooks...although the whole army is not wiped out, it is quite miserable.

You must know that the prosperity of Chang'an City did not happen overnight, among which, the skilled cooks took considerable credit.The Imperial Dining Room is a place where only the top cooks are qualified to enter.The uncompromising workmanship has led to an extremely fine division of labor in the imperial dining room. There are at least ten masters who only make tea and desserts.

Such a detailed division of labor, but the objects served by the imperial dining room are far from so many. After counting and counting, it is just: the emperor Xie Liu, the empress, one concubine and one concubine, one eldest princess, two little princes, plus Xie Liu. Dive, seven.On average, each chef can cook at most one dish a day, which is far more than the food intake of the masters.

It is precisely because of the leisure that the intrigue in the imperial dining room intensifies, and the more intense the struggle, the more lazy the cooks are, and the more indifferent to work.

In short, idle work breeds mediocrity, and fat work breeds greed (*Note), the former refers to the imperial dining room.

After leaving Chang'an, no matter whether they were forced or voluntarily, the eighteen royal chefs who followed Xie Qian never expected that it would be enough to suffer for the journey, and it was not enough to cook for the [-] or so big appetites while rushing. , and even more serious military training!

After half a day, no matter fat or thin, long-legged or short-legged, they finally got to the designated place, all with gray faces, wheezing and wheezing, so tired that they couldn't even lift a finger.

After training to this extent, the standard of lunch will naturally be greatly reduced.

The Flying Eagles have enjoyed good soup and food for more than ten days, and they returned to the original point all of a sudden.What was supposed to be a sweet and delicious stewed meat meal turned into a pot of mush, and the staple food was the leftover steamed buns that were not eaten the day before. Who can bear this?All of a sudden there was a commotion, and a few thorns urged everyone to go to the cooks to protest.However, when I went over to take a look, all the cooks looked ashamed, the food was intact and no one touched it, they were all lying in a mess, looking from a distance, they were all corpses, what could be wronged, forget it.

People are almost exhausted, but they can still give warm mouth, which is enough to save face.

So, that night, no matter whether it was the cook or the Flying Eagle Army, no one complained from the bottom of their hearts.But General He is definitely not Xie Qian who is easy to handle. No one dares to violate his majesty.The training continued unremittingly under the condition that everyone was tortured.

Going deep into the Qinling Mountains, crossing the Lishan Mountains, and entering the South Elephant Road, the distance between adjacent post stations is getting farther and farther.Sometimes the team walked in the mountains and forests for two or three days without seeing any human habitation.But compared with the sparse human presence, the vegetation has become more and more dense.At the narrowest part of the road, someone needs to open the way with a sickle to barely pass the carriage.Under such road conditions, it seems more and more meaningless to discuss the efficiency of traveling.

The only good news is that after dozens of days of torture, the cooks have gradually adapted to high-intensity weight training, and their culinary skills have improved again.The two meals a day have not only returned to the original level, but the pasta category has gone a step further and become stronger.The reason may have something to do with the increased physical fitness of the royal chefs.

As a training partner of the Flying Eagle Army, they watched the cooks and craftsmen not only working hard, but also serving everyone. Many people voluntarily took advantage of the time to come to help.Later, under the leadership of Captain Wang, the soldiers spontaneously arranged a schedule for helping the cook, and the matter of helping the cook completely formed a routine.

Until then, after going through stumbling blocks, the team and the Flying Eagle Army were finally able to merge with each other and become a whole.It has been nearly a month since the departure from Chang'an.
