At noon, while the cooks were cooking, Xie Qian rushed to the camp of the Flying Eagle Army excitedly. After a while, he came back dejectedly with Jinchuang ointment on his face.

No need to ask, asking is just one word, tired.Asking again is just two words, I feel tired.

Not to mention seeing He Feiyun, he didn't even see He Feiyun's white horse. A soldier with a full face and a medical kit was guarding the gate of the camp. When he came, he knocked him down without saying a word, and cleaned up the wound with a splash. After rubbing the medicine on half of his face, he sent Xie Qian back.

Xie Qian was upset, so the next morning, he ran outside He Feiyun's camp to report.

This time the campsite had a lot of ant holes, Xie Qian picked three or four, some of them were in the ascendant, but because of the vicious soldiers who kept looking coldly at him, he had no choice but to give up approaching the tent, and only picked the small piece under his feet.

Another day later, Xie Qian seemed to have made some progress. He stopped picking ant holes. The place where he camped was next to a river.It's a pity that although his skills are not bad, his arm strength is relatively mediocre, jumping up to ten times on a piece of stone is the limit.

Another day, Xie Qian picked a clump of berries from nowhere, and instead of eating them, he fished for the little bugs that ate the berries.

……

So day after day, Xie Qian came to report every day, even more punctual than the morning training of the Flying Eagle Army.

On the seventh day, Xiao Bing was amazed and couldn't help asking Xie Qian: "Ant holes are so fun? Didn't your parents teach you to dig ant holes to wet the bed?"

Xie Qian: "My father never taught me."

Xiao Bing broke into a cold sweat immediately, talking about the royal family indiscriminately, this is a great crime of losing his head!It can be seen that getting up early to watch this man dig ant holes, who would have thought of his status as an orthodox royal family! !

Xie Qian stood up, patted Xiao Bing's shoulder with his muddy hand, with a malicious expression on his face, he almost wrote the words "You are miserable and finally hooked" on his face.

He smiled and said: "Oh, don't be so nervous, what you said now, only God knows, you and I know. Why don't I tell you more, Gu's mother, I didn't know before Gu remembered the matter. Yes. As for my father, I see you at most once a year, and the last time is the first three days before entering the mausoleum. As for the eunuchs, wet nurses, and palace maids, I really haven’t taught them.”

"..." The little soldier was trembling, frozen in place like a stone sculpture, not daring to move.

Xie Qian took another step closer, pretending to be worried: "So... will you really wet the bed?"

Xiaobing was sweating profusely, and his intestines were green with regret.Why is he so stupid, why would he say such stupid things.But his disrespect to the royal family has become a fact. Now, even if Xie Qian lifted He Feiyun's tent, he would not dare to stop it.

After many days, Xie Qian finally cleared the obstacles and successfully touched the door of He Feiyun's... tent.

Xie Qian sighed: "Oh, this leather is really thick, what kind of leather is it? There is no hair yet."

Xiao Bing: "Tell the king, this is not leather, but cloth coated with tung oil and interlayered."

Xie Qian: "Oh. I also know how to use honorific names for Gu, which is an improvement."

The little soldier swallowed his anger and persuaded cautiously: "Well, the general has an order, no one can..."

Xie Qian immediately interrupted loudly, and sighed: "Poor, Gu's mother!! She bid farewell to Gu when she was less than one year old, to this day! Gu can still think of her vague shadow——!"

Every time he said a word, the little soldier shrank a little bit, and when he finished sighing, the ferocious eagle soldier was already weak, helpless, and pitifully huddled in a ball at the corner of the tent, trembling and saying: " Ning Junwang spares my life, I dare not... I won't dare again..."

Xie Qian: "But... Gu hasn't started talking about the father yet?"

"Young Lord Xiaojun, stop bullying my soldiers."

A deep voice sounded from behind Xie Qian, and Xie Qian looked around in shock. The tent door had been rolled up at some point, and standing in front of the door was He Feiyun, whom he was squatting guarding.

He Feiyun is tall, more than half a head taller than the tent door.Xie Qian squinted at him for a while, and sighed: "General He didn't come out early, couldn't play, and waited for Gu to be bullied, and when he finally had the power to fight back, he came out to sideline the fight, really..."

He Feiyun bent his lips and said: "Although the king of the county didn't intend to trip you, but my Flying Eagle Army doesn't have the fate to see the world of Chang'an, let's let him open his eyes, what do you think?"

He lowered his eyes slightly, seeming to lower his brows to please his eyes. Xie Qian was suffocated when he saw it, and couldn't help but push his forehead half a step away, and said: "Is the morning light today too dazzling, why is Gu a little dizzy?"

He Feiyun was puzzled.

Xie Qian: "No, it must be General He who is so heroic and mighty that Gu can't help but be overwhelmed!"

He Feiyun: "..."

Xie Qian put down his hand again, hesitatingly said: "Wait, General He, please confirm first, if you replace 'dumping' with 'love', will you be angry?"

At this time, a snow-white steed came running from the slanting spur, passed between the two and stopped, separating Xie Qian and He Feiyun into two sides.Shen Jun snorted, rubbed his big head affectionately against its owner, and squeezed Xie Qian away who was trying to explain the difference between "dumping" and "enchanting".

He Feiyun patted the horse's head, his soft eyes fell on Shen Jun's back, and said: "Let's go first." The horse raised its neck and neighed softly, its front hooves trampled on the ground happily, and one person and one horse headed towards the rising sun.

Xie Qian shouted: "Hey, you haven't replied whether you are angry or not—!!"

However, the only response to him was the sound of horseshoes fading away.

On the eighth day, Xie Qian came to watch on time.The guard minions are no longer a threat to him.Unfortunately, what frustrates Xie Qian is that on the eighth, ninth, and even tenth days, he couldn't talk to He Feiyun more, let alone gain any favors.

As the distance from Chang'an increases, the wide and flat official road becomes narrower and narrower. Sometimes, if there is no sign for the guards to identify the route at the fork, at first glance, it is no different from other small roads.

On the contrary, the trees are getting taller and the people are less and less visited. Although Da Viet has been peaceful for many years, Xie Qian feels the meaning of the deep vegetation in the spring among the barren mountains and wild ridges.

The group of people arrived at the Tangluogukou post station. Although it was still about an hour before dark, He Feiyun ordered Fei'an to set up camp, and sent a messenger to inform Xie Qian.

To this day, regarding the itinerary, the two sides have reached a certain degree of acquiescence. Except for the initial discussion about "cooking in the wild", He Feiyun alone decides when to set off, when to rest, and when to camp. Xie Qian never intervenes , this time is no exception.

After this period of wind and sun exposure, the white and smooth faces of the former royal chefs have some sun marks.But the strange thing is that even though they have to travel hard every day and cook meals for nearly 20 people, they are all more energetic than when they were bored in the imperial dining room.

The soldiers of the Flying Eagle Army are all in their twenties, and the imperial cooks are slightly larger, but they are all young people of the same age.One party generously offered hot rice and hot tea, and the other party accepted the kindness, so it is natural to respond with kindness.Xie Qian has seen countless times that his own cook and soldiers put their arms around each other, or chatted together.Presumably, the two sides are no longer as tense as they were at the beginning, but have gradually established a preliminary friendly relationship.

This made Xie Qian very pleased.

However, since the time to rest was earlier, Xie Qian planned to take advantage of the free time before cooking to carry out the next step in his plan:

Hold a regular meeting.

He first summoned all the imperial chefs—including those who were exchanged to the Flying Eagle Army and those who stayed in the convoy, a total of 18 people.Regardless of the venue and form, find a place that is more open, and everyone will form a circle, and it is not mandatory to sit or stand.Xie Qian also found a rock and sat down, and ordered Xiaotao Xiaoxiu to distribute some preserved fruits to no one, without any official tone, he said to everyone with a smile:

"Everyone has traveled all the way to this point. It has been hard work. Seeing that we are about to enter the mountain, I am afraid it will be even harder than before. It is my willfulness that brought you out of the imperial dining room. If you have any complaints, just say here Come out, if you can solve it, try your best to solve it, if you can't solve it, at least you can feel more at ease."

"Gu is now alone and weak, and there are not many promises of treatment, but there is only one thing that can be guaranteed, and that is: here, at this time, no matter what you say, don't care about mistakes. There is a reward."

He was born gentle and without edges and corners, and he was doubly approachable when he smiled.

But the cooks couldn't believe Xie Qian's words immediately. After listening, they looked at each other, and everyone saw the doubt and incomprehension in each other's eyes.Their craftsmanship is outstanding in Chang'an City, and they are the top of the pyramid envied by everyone in the industry, and each of them has their own top skills.However, no matter how top-notch they are, after entering the imperial dining room, they may not all be favored, let alone be able to show their talents.After all, in the imperial dining room, in addition to the level of skill, seniority, background and interpersonal relationship must be ranked, and the mind of the masters must be able to be guessed.

Among the people who were assigned, the skills must be excellent.But now, no matter whether the imperial dining room is run well or not, when one wakes up, the master has changed and the place of work has also changed. , the emperor's only younger brother tied together.

Not everyone is willing to accept fate, but not everyone is resistant.At least in front of Xie Qian who has the power of life and death, no one would be so stupid as to show it directly.I don't know if Xie Qian's performance was too harmless and lacking in attack power. In short, the result did not disappoint him. Soon, a chubby cook with a round face stood up and spoke first.

He said: "The king of the county is above, the younger one is surnamed Zhang, and the humble name is Ergou. Some words, the younger one has been held back all the way in my heart, please forgive the younger one's disrespect, otherwise the younger one will do nothing. Dare to say."

Xie Qian: "I can swear that no matter what you say now, I will forgive you for your innocence—unless what you want to say is bad about my imperial brother, then I dare not forgive you."

Someone couldn't help laughing, and Xie Qian also laughed.But Zhang Ergou's tension did not ease because of this, he swallowed his saliva, and bravely said: "Your Majesty, you should know that the heat, side dishes, collocation, presentation, and even the quality of the dishes served in the imperial dining room are as follows: Security has very strict requirements, right?"

Xie Qian nodded: "I know a thing or two."

Zhang Ergou: "Does the county king know the difference between the white case and the red case?"

Xie Qian: "White case, red case? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Zhang Ergou: "Let's put it this way, the small one is in the imperial dining room, which is a small case in the white case, specially preparing snacks, cakes, and various hot and cold snacks for the nobles."

"Ah."

Zhang Ergou: "How about you, the king of the county, it's easy to say a word. As a result, along the way, every day when I was young, I either stewed in a big pot, fried in a big pot, or stewed rice in a big pot. You let a cold cook, Working across the line, aren't you always messing around?!"

The author has something to say:

He Feiyun: Just know how to mess around!

Xie Qian (smiling): Then the orphan came to trouble you?

He Feiyun: ...
