Chapter 101 Come if you want, why bring a gift?
There are two deputy generals leading the Ye family army this time. Qiao Mingzhi was also one of the deputy generals of the Ye family army before he retired and returned to his hometown. Now these two are his descendants.
Ye Qinghuai temporarily handed the Ye family army over to Qiao Mingzhi, and because of this, things went smoothly and did not cause any opposition.
The Ye family army has a total of 10,000 elite soldiers, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers are a total of 40,000. Together with the soldiers stationed at the border in Lingxiao City, the total number is 80,000.
The army was approaching, and a dark crowd stood outside Lingxiao City.
Qiao Mingzhi rode his horse forward and when he was about to enter the city, he saw two dark shadows coming out.
Looking closely, it was Ye Qinghuai and Wan Xiaqing.
"Master!" Wan Xiaqing shouted, "You are so late!"
Qiao Mingzhi laughed and scolded, "You are the villain who complained first!"
There was snow in Lingxiao City, and the ground was a little slippery. Ye Qinghuai said quickly: "Uncle Qiao, come in first. The city has prepared some supplies. Eat something before leaving."
Qiao Mingzhi raised a flag behind him and relayed Ye Qinghuai's words.
The soldiers cheered in unison.
To prepare food for so many people, Dongfang Qi was very experienced and mobilized everyone in the city to prepare it. They were all simple meals.
The food also comes from the army, and the people’s stored food will never be touched.
Qiao Mingzhi and Wan Xiaqing were walking on the street, chatting casually: "I didn't expect that Madam Wen's family would come. Did you tell them that my legs are all healed because of Madam Wen's bottle of medicinal wine?"
"Master, don't worry, I've already told you!"
"That's good." The two of them just walked to the end of the street. Going forward was the exit of Lingxiao City. They could vaguely see a very solid fortress in the distance. The possibility of breaking through from the outside was very small.
Qiao Mingzhi sighed, "When I was fighting here, I was about the same age as Qing Huai. So much time has passed in the blink of an eye."
"Master is still as skilled as ever!" Wan Xiaqing flattered him, "There are few rivals on the battlefield!"
Qiao Mingzhi laughed and patted Wan Xiaqing on the shoulder: "Let's go to Madam Wen. I want to thank her in person."
The three of them went to find Wen Yan's house together and happened to meet Dongfang Qi.
Qiao Mingzhi knew Dongfang Qi. His father was a famous old general, and both father and son were heroes.
Before Qiao Mingzhi could say hello, Wan Xiaqing next to him rushed out first, "What are you doing here?"
When Dongfang Qi saw Wan Xiaqing, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face: "It turned out to be Xia Qing, what a coincidence."
"Who said it was a coincidence? This is my home, of course I am here. But you, why are you here?" Wan Xiaqing said aggressively.
Qiao Mingzhi quickly pulled her back: "What's wrong? Speak properly."
However, as a master, he knew that Wan Xiaqing had a hot temper, but he also knew that she would never be so rude to others for no reason.
Sure enough, Wan Xiaqing was heard complaining immediately: "Master, you don't know what kind of person this is! He actually coveted my mother in front of me! He even said he wanted to marry my mother. Do you think he has a hole in his brain?"
"What's wrong with me? Men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. Even if you are Yan'er's child, you can't stop it!" Dongfang Qi looked nonchalant.
"Who are you calling Yan'er? I'm going to beat you to death!" Wan Xiaqing rushed over with his teeth bared.
Qiao Mingzhi quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Don't, you're still at Madam Wen's door!"
"Hmph!" Wan Xiaqing withdrew his hand, pushed the door open angrily and went in.
As soon as I opened the door, the aroma of rice wafted out.
Qiao Mingzhi and Ye Qinghuai, who had tasted Wen Yan's cooking, could no longer control their saliva. They didn't care about Dongfang Qi behind them and walked in quickly.
Dongfang Qi was also a thick-skinned man, and he turned around and tried to go into the house.
Wan Xiaqing quickly blocked the door and complained to the inside: "Mom! Someone is trying to break in! Come and help!"
Wen Yan walked out and saw that it was Dongfang Qi. She blinked and was a little speechless, "What are you doing here?"
Dongfang Qi looked at the scabbed wound on her face and couldn't help feeling guilty. "Can I...can I come over to eat too?"
Wen Yan glanced at the position in the room and said, "Is that okay?"
She held out a hand and rubbed her fingers together.
Dongfang Qi choked, "Why don't they use it?" He was referring to Ye Qinghuai and Qiao Mingzhi.
Wen Yan looked at him in confusion: "One of them is my daughter's master, and the other has always been protecting the Wen family. Who are you?"
Dongfang Qi felt that he shouldn't ask, so he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and counted out two...
Wen Yan smiled and grabbed it, "You're so polite, why would you bring a gift when you're here?"
After casually counting, this stack is about one thousand taels. Wen Yan's smile widened, "Xia Qing, add a set of bowls and chopsticks for General Dongfang."
Wan Xiaqing made a face at Dongfang Qi before going in.
Dongfang Qi's heart was bleeding. This... this was his private savings that he had saved for a long time...
But when he saw the smile on Wen Yan's face, he simply treated it as a smile to please the beauty and stopped worrying about it.
Wen Yan knew that Ye Qinghuai and Qiao Mingzhi would come today, so she did a little more.
The main dish is spicy diced chicken, potato, eggplant, pork and vermicelli all in one pot, the cold dish is a bowl of pork skin jelly, the staple food is white rice, and there is a big pot of tomato and egg soup.
Dongfang Qi's seat was at the corner of the table. Although it was in a remote position, he was able to reach all the dishes on the table with his hands.
Spicy diced chicken is not something you often see in Lingxiao City. The red chili and golden chicken are stir-fried, and it smells spicy and numbing, making your mouth water.
I have tried Yiguochudongfangqi and it is just an ordinary dish. Although it looks good, it is probably just average.
Dongfang Qi first picked up a piece of spicy chicken, and the spicy taste exploded on his tongue. He quickly took a bite of rice. The combination of sweet rice and spicy chicken, how could it be so delicious? !
I picked up another piece of potato from the pot. It was sandy and soft, melted in my mouth, and very flavorful. How could it be so delicious!
Dongfang Qi ate one mouthful after another. The bigger ones served themselves diligently, and the others ate faster, fearing that they would not have any portion left at the end.
In the end, both the pots and bowls were empty.
Dongfang Qi's face turned red from the spiciness, but he still persevered and scooped a spoonful of the chili from the spicy chicken into the bowl, stirred it, and ate it.
In the end, there was no chili left.
Everyone's belly was full of food.
Dongfang Qi couldn't help but sigh, "Just for this skill, I must marry Wen Yan..."
As soon as these words came out, several people at the table immediately cast unfriendly glances at them.
Wen Yangu burped and looked at Wen Yan distressedly: "My little Yan, who hurt your fair and tender face? How could such a terrible cut appear? I feel so sorry for your father."
Wan Xiaqing was eager to watch the fun, "Grandpa! It's this General Dongfang!"
Wan Dongling raised her lips, "I heard that he poured water on my mother in the middle of the night..."
Wan Xiaqing clenched his fist and pounded the table, "Mom sneezed!"
Xiang Yun sighed: "Still tied up and tied to the torture device..."
Without waiting for Wan Xiaqing to speak again, Dongfang Qi stood up with his belly bulging: "I have something else to do, I'll leave first."
Finally, he left a message to Wen Yan: "I'll come again tomorrow!"
