"Uncle Ma, what do you think the princess and Chai Shao will say?" Li Xiu looked at Princess Pingyang's room not far away and said with a little nervous expression. Since he beat Chai Shao yesterday, this is the third time Chai Shao has come to find Princess Pingyang, and it is each time a purpose, that is, that is, to hope that Princess Pingyang will hand over Li Xiu to him for disposal, but Princess Pingyang will naturally not agree.

"Who knows? But you kid will have to thank the princess in the future. If it weren't for your business, I'm afraid the princess wouldn't have seen Chai Shao at all. Now, I've seen him three times in two days." Mr. Ma then patted Li Xiu's shoulder hard and said.

"Don't worry, the princess treats me well, so I will naturally not forget it!" Li Xiu said with a smile. He is a person who will repay kindness. For example, when Boss Liu was the current Princess Pingyang, he will not forget it as long as he has helped him.

Just as Li Xiu finished speaking, a fierce quarrel suddenly came from Princess Pingyang's room. Because Li Xiu and the others dared not get too close, they could not hear the content of the quarrel clearly. Then they saw Chai Shao angrily leaving the door and left the inn without looking back.

"Okay, you kid is fine. Seeing Chai Shao's appearance, you must have been rejected by the princess again. But you must be careful in the future. Hurry up and hide quickly when you meet Chai Shao to avoid causing trouble for him." After seeing Chai Shao leave, Ma was relieved and said, "Li Xiu is the person he values ​​very much, and has saved the princess, so he naturally doesn't want something to happen to Li Xiu.

"What should I do next? The princess just had a fight with Chai Shao. Should we go in and comfort her?" Li Xiu looked at Princess Pingyang's room and said with some concern.

"No need, the princess is not a child anymore, and the princess could survive in such a difficult time, so it's naturally even more difficult now!" Mr. Ma shook his head and said, believing that Princess Pingyang would not be angry about a villain like Chai Shao.

Because of Chai Shao's affairs, Princess Pingyang and his group had been delayed in Ningzhou for a day. Now Chai Shao has finally left, so Ma Ye once again ordered the team to leave the inn and continue on the road, trying to rush back to Chang'an before the Lantern Festival. After walking for a whole day, they had already arrived at the north bank of Jinghe River. As long as they went down the river to the Weihe River, cross the Weihe River to Baqiao Town, which is the east gate of Chang'an, and it is equivalent to arriving in Chang'an.

Because they were in a hurry to rush, they missed the inn, but it didn't matter. That night, Mr. Ma asked someone to camp directly by the Jing River. Anyway, they were all soldiers, and resting in the wild was common. Moreover, they were too many people, so ordinary small inns could not be placed at all. In addition, they had to drive out the people in the inn every time, so Princess Pingyang couldn't bear it, so they usually wouldn't deliberately stay in the inn unless they encountered a big city like Ningzhou.

Although the Chinese New Year has passed, the north is still very cold, especially after the sun sets, the howling north wind blows constantly. Li Xiu sat beside the fire with one hand holding a wooden board and writing and painting with charcoal strips on the wooden board. Ma Ye walked over with two big bowls and handed him a bowl and said, "Give it, today's supper!"

Li Xiu put down the wooden board and took the bowl. He looked at the stuff like paste in the bowl, and there were some black and yellow particles inside. This made him sigh and said, "You guys in the army are all a bunch of idiots. Can't they spend some time making the rice look better? Even if it tastes like feces, they don't have to make it look like feces, right?"

"Puff~" Ma Ye just put a piece of paste in his mouth, but when he heard Li Xiu's words, he suddenly spit out. Then he said in a fury, "Boy, can you stop talking about such disgusting topics when eating? And today's meal is also good, there is meat and dried vegetables in the batter, and salt is added to it. He eats it warmly and is completely warm. Do you still want to prepare four dishes and one soup at home?"

"I don't expect four dishes and one soup, but at least I have to have a decent meal. This thing looks like it has no appetite, so how can people eat it?" Li Xiu couldn't stand the food in the army. Here the food only has the most primitive function, which is to ensure people's survival. Don't think about the taste and other things.

"You are so cute, there are not so many things in the army. You can eat hot rice well, and let alone you, even the princess eat these things!" Ma Ye said to Li Xiu with a blank look. He remembered that Li Xiu was so hungry that he was powerless, and even despised the saliva on the roast chicken he gave him. I really don't know where he got so many bad habits?

"The princess also eats these big ones..." Li Xiu originally wanted to say that he was disrespectful to the princess, and he seemed to have just eaten a bite. He quickly changed his words, "Do you eat these things too?"

"Of course, as long as we are in the army, the princess has always shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. When we first started, the army was short of food. Once, the princess was hungry and refused to eat more than others!" Mr. Ma said this and took a bite of the paste, as if he remembered the desperate environment back then.

"No wonder I always think that the princess' wounds grow slowly. I thought the weather was too cold, and it was too nutrients to keep up after a long time!" Li Xiu suddenly slapped his thighs when he heard this, and then stood up and came to Princess Pingyang's tent. Although he often cleaned Princess Pingyang's wounds, he usually needed to avoid such a personal matter of eating, so he just knew what Princess Pingyang usually eats.

The female guard beside Princess Pingyang had already been familiar with Li Xiu, so no one stopped him. Li Xiu entered the tent smoothly. At this time, Princess Pingyang had already sat up with the help of the maid, holding a small spoon in her hand and was having a meal. The bowl in front of her was also a piece of stuff made by a military chef.

"Why did Captain Li come at this time?" Princess Pingyang said embarrassedly when she saw Li Xiu coming in. After all, there is a difference between men and women. Except for her own family, this is the first time that other men saw her when she was eating.

"Princess, you are injured. How can you take care of yourself so carelessly? Don't eat these things again in the future!" Li Xiu said, without waiting for the princess to say anything, and directly reached out to take away the food in front of the princess, and then said again, "Princess, please wait a moment, I'll cook some meals for you!"

After Li Xiu said that, he bowed to Princess Pingyang, then immediately turned around and left, leaving behind a mysterious Princess Pingyang.

At that time, Li Xiu came to the chef's cooking place in the camp. The military meals were eaten in batches. Now many people still didn't eat. There were more than a dozen large fires in line here. There were amazingly large military iron pots on the fire. The paste in the pot was already on. The chef was throwing the chopped dried vegetables and meat into the pot. It was said that the taste should not be bad, but I don't know what magical methods these chefs used. Anyway, Li Xiu wanted to vomit when he smelled the smell.

At that moment, Li Xiu found the head of the chef and told him that the princess's injury required separate diet and that it would be done by herself, and the head of the chef knew him. After all, Li Xiu was wandering around in the army with Ma Ye for nothing, and he was familiar with him, so the head of the chef had no doubts. He asked someone to prepare something for Li Xiu to cook.

Due to seasonal restrictions, there were not many ingredients in the military camp. Apart from rice, flour and other staple foods, there were only some dried vegetables and meat left. Li Xiu finally had to cook a pot of lean meat porridge, with some dried mushrooms added. In addition, two dishes were fried mutton and fried eggs. Although there was no technical content, because the stir-frying dish had not been invented, when the aroma of his stir-frying dish floated out, it immediately attracted the attention of all the chefs around him.

Finally, Li Xiu served a porridge of lean meat porridge, and fried lamb and fried eggs. He barely gathered a dinner and asked someone to send it to Princess Pingyang. However, when he was cooking just now, he "accidentally" made more of everything, so the remaining rice and vegetables could not be wasted, so he had to keep it for himself "too difficult" to eat.

When he returned to the fire with the leftovers, Ma had already finished the bowl of paste. When he saw the food in his hand, he was obviously stunned, and then stared at him with a weird look. After a while, he spoke: "I just heard that you went to prepare supper for the princess in person, and I was quite moved, but now it seems that you are preparing supper for yourself!"

"Uncle Ma, don't judge a gentleman's ambition with a villain. These are the leftovers leftovers sent to the princess. I was afraid of wasting it, so I kept it for myself. And I decided to pack three meals for the princess in the future!" Li Xiu said as he stuffed a piece of mutton into his mouth. Well, I haven't cooked for a long time, and the mutton is a bit old, but the eggs are good, the tender and salty inside, and it is simply amazing with lean meat porridge.

Seeing Li Xiu's shameless appearance, Ma Ye was also speechless. If he hadn't been full, he would have to pounce on him and grab all the food he had cooked, and then let him taste the feeling of hunger. See if he would still be picky about food in the future?

At the same time, Princess Pingyang also looked at the porridge and two dishes in front of her in a daze. After a while, the female guard who was right said, "Are these made by Captain Li personally?"

"The subordinates have asked the chef, but it is indeed done by Captain Li himself!" The guard nodded and replied.

After listening to the guard's report, Princess Pingyang looked at the three dishes in front of her that emitted different fragrances. After a while, she picked up the chopsticks and tasted them. She found that both the porridge and the dishes were very delicious. This made her whisper: "He said he likes cooking. He thought it was a self-deprecating thing, but he didn't expect it to be true?"
