Chapter Let's just chat
"This ghost weather is too wet, and nothing can be stored. You should eat the hairy ones in a few days!" Zhao Bing opened the paper bag and looked at the wrapped food and sighed.
"It's great to have cooked cakes and bacon. Have you ever eaten the kind of compressed dry food? That guy has been stored for a long time, but it's hard like a stone and can kill people, and can choke people to death!" Liu Tong and several unattended operation team members also surrounded him. He saw that the food in His Majesty's paper bag was no different from his own, all of which were cooked cakes and bacon, and then teased.
"Puff..." Niu Laifu quickly turned his head and burst into laughter.
"What I said is true, why are you laughing at?" Liu Tong looked at the guards and held back his laughter. It was very hard to hold it back, but the emperor looked embarrassed.
"Liu Tong, the thing you are talking about was invented by the fifth brother..." Liu Tong said to His Majesty.
"What you eat is an improved version. When the fifth brother tried the production, we asked the people from our guard camp to try it. Eat at least five days a day at a time to check whether it can provide enough physical strength and eat it..." Peng Hu added indescribable words.
"Fifth brother, I really don't know. Please forgive the offense!" Liu Tong was shocked. He had committed a serious crime of lying to the emperor and quickly apologized.
"It's okay, it's okay. When these guys tried it, they secretly scolded me!" Zhao Bing pointed at the guards and cursed with a smile.
"We have never scolded the fifth brother. We just complained a few times!" It was a death sentence to scold the emperor, and Niu Laifu would not admit it even if he was beaten to death.
"But to be honest, that thing is not very delicious, but it is better than being hungry. If you are anxious, you can take it out as a brick to kill a few enemies!" Zhao Bing didn't care whether they were scolding or complaining. If the food was so terrible, it would be a waste of the law.
"Yes, yes!" Liu Tong didn't dare to talk much, nor did he dare to laugh. He could only nod and respond like a chicken eating rice. Instead, the guards laughed.
"That thing was originally for the water army. They had hot water on the boat to soak before eating. There were not only dried fruits, bean flour, salt, and flour there, but I also added some frosting. Although it was not very delicious, a small piece could make people maintain enough physical strength and persist in fighting." Zhao Bing took a bite of Hu cake, which was not soft, and ate the salt-selling salt-selling bacon, and then drank the waterway. "When the Northern Expedition is over, I have time to improve it, so it will make it softer and have a better taste. I will try it for you first and give it a suggestion!"
"The fifth brother is wise and cannot always harm our guard camp. We should let other brothers share some of the burden!" Niu Laifu said kindly.
"Young people are willing to share the worries of fifth brother!" Liu Tong saw the expressions of several guards and knew that it was definitely not a good thing. His Majesty was very harmful, but he could not refuse and he pretended to be very honored and said seriously. But he thought in his heart that no matter how bad the Majesty cooked, as long as he couldn't die, he would have to make it a good deal, and then let the entire army take it as soon as possible. He would never eat this loss by himself.
"Oh, I'm so worried about this." Zhao Bing sighed while eating, and said with a sad face. "We will eventually fight the Mongol Yuan Decision in the future. At that time, we will go deep into the grasslands. In the desert, it will be even more difficult to transport grain. This requires an emergency food that is easy to carry, preserved for a long time, and is convenient to eat. Unfortunately, it has been tried many times but it is not ideal."
"Fifth Brother..." Liu Tong was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to reply. He felt very moved. The emperor was very busy with all kinds of things. It was really difficult for him to not only worry about national affairs, but also think of these "small things" about what to eat.
"Everyone was tired all night long. I took turns to rest. I'll just be lazy and not take turns with you!" Zhao Bing didn't notice his expression at all. Instead, he finished eating three Hu cakes in a few mouthfuls, drank half a pot of water, and wiped his mouth.
"I should wait, I will do whatever I want!" Several people said in unison. Then they watched His Majesty take a backpack and find a slightly flat place beside them, spread the raincoat on the ground, and then took the sleeping bag handed over by the inner guard and half-covered it, sleeping with the backpack and clothes. After a while, a slight snoring sound came, which was obviously very tired.
"Has the fifth brother always been like this?" Liu Tong asked Niu Laifu.
"The fifth brother is always kind and easy to serve. He never vents his subordinates with his subordinates, and he will not be bothered by making a few jokes. He is not particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. As long as it is clean, he is not picky about others. However, he must not do anything that violates military discipline and laws. He will not only not excuse you, but will also severely punish you. And we cannot do things that are incompatible with the rules and deeds because of being tolerant." Niu Laifu said softly.
"What I said is that we must learn from the brothers in the guard camp in this regard!" Liu Tong pointed to the people from the operation team and said, and his admiration for the emperor increased a little. He thought to himself no wonder the leader was so loyal to His Majesty, and so many generals followed him wholeheartedly. If he could stay by His Majesty for this life...
At noon, Zhao Bing woke up on time as if he had installed an alarm clock. He divided the people into three groups, and he and two accompanying soldiers led a group, observing from different angles, drawing terrain maps respectively.
Zhao Bing took a high ground with a wide view. They sneaked from the forest and slowly climbed up, hiding in the lush bushes. Four inner guards lurked around him to provide protection at any time. Liu Tong led two team members to serve as a warning, while Niu Laifu let the guards occupy key points and control several trails up the mountain. Once an enemy attacks, he can cover His Majesty to evacuate quickly.
Zhao Bing was not so nervous, half-squatting behind the bushes, holding a telescope to observe around. He quickly calibrated the direction through the position of the sun, and their position was at the foot of Hutou Mountain, and in their southeast direction was Hutou Mountain City.
