I open an inn in the realm of comprehension

When Qi Chang lifted the curtain to enter the tent, he saw Xiao Minglou and Wang Jun staring at each other speechlessly.

He frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

Wang Jun immediately straightened up as if waking up, waved his hand violently, and strode towards the door: "No, nothing, nothing! I don't know anything!"

Wang Jun's intuition had saved him several times on the line of life and death, and this time it was the same. He made up his mind not to get involved with these two people, and pretended that he didn't know anything, so as not to be taken into the ditch, and have a hard time saying not out.

Xiao Minglou didn't care that he didn't get anything useful from Wang Jun's mouth. In fact, when he saw Qi Chang's resolute face, he subconsciously avoided his gaze.

To describe it in one word, it would be—guilty heart.

However, the barracks are full of old rough men, not to mention the skills of the chief soldiers. They are cooks in name, but in wartime, they can replace rolling pins with maces, and use pot lids as shields. , but the dishes made are hard to describe.

Basically, they are all cooked in one pot. If you have anything to eat, you throw it into the pot. The wild vegetables, dried meat, and dough balls are torn apart, and a sticky mass that has no shape can be seen after cooking, and it can be held by soldiers. , eat with relish.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, Xiao Minglou naturally has to eat and live with the soldiers, eat the same food, sleep in the same tent, the taste of the big pot meal... Xiao Minglou misses the pill called Bigu Dan in the cultivation world very much .

He would rather not eat than eat mush anymore.

In this way, it is even more impossible for Xiao Minglou to ask the gang leader for home-cooked dishes. He feels that he can probably cook better than these big bastards by doing whatever he wants.

Just treat Ah Chou, Xiao Minglou can't just "play around casually".

It seems that I have to find a cook with decent skills in the future, firstly for the sake of the lieutenant, and secondly for the sake of stealing from the teacher... No, I would like to ask for home-cooked cooking.

Countless thoughts passed through Xiao Minglou's mind, but in fact it was only a blink of an eye. Qi Chang had already walked towards him, his eyes fixed on Xiao Minglou's slightly unnatural expression: "Young master? My lord?"

"what?"

"I should be the one who should ask this question." Qi Chang approached, stretched out his hand to brush away Xiao Minglou's broken hair, and poked his forehead, "You didn't hear me, but is there something uncomfortable in your body? "

"It's okay." Xiao Minglou took his hand, pulled it down, his eyes moved slightly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pulled him out, "Ah Chou, look."

In order to avoid Qi Chang's suspicion, Xiao Minglou simply used the scene in front of him as an introduction to preach for him, in order to distract Qi Chang's attention.

Outside the tent, the soldiers were exhausted after the war and the smoke filled the scene.

Xiao Minglou's voice was as clear as a trickle of water: "After the first battle, although we won, the battlefield was full of scars and blood flowed like rivers."

Qi Chang looked down at him, as if waiting for his next words.

"Have you ever thought about why there is war in this world?" Xiao Minglou blinked at him, a smile appeared on his lips, but was quickly replaced by seriousness, "For the human race, war is driven by desire However, as far as wild animals are concerned, predation is for survival. In the final analysis, the word "struggle" means fighting because there is no one.

"But from the height of the way of heaven, war and war are all for the sake of continuation."

Qi Chang was slightly taken aback: "Continuation?"

"Yes, the way of heaven is not static, and the laws of the way of heaven are not unique. The new rules and old laws are never at peace in the transition. You can regard the way of heaven as a collection of countless consciousnesses. If each law has its own will, then No one wants to be replaced by others." Xiao Ming said.

"Young Master's words are still so lively." Qi Chang smiled lightly.

Xiao Minglou felt that his hand was being clenched, he also leaned on Qi Chang, paused, and then said: "To use an inappropriate analogy, if a monk wants to go further, there is always a devil in his heart." Tribulations are tested in turn, the road ahead is not always smooth, only by overcoming many obstacles can we go further, but also because of various hardships, people will become stronger."

When they got close, Xiao Minglou shivered slightly from the cold armor on Qi Chang's body, Qi Chang avoided carefully and warmed him up with the temperature of his palm.

"This is not an inappropriate analogy." Qi Chang looked at Xiao Minglou seriously, "I think it is much more useful than those Taoisms that I don't understand, and it makes people feel a lot."

The smile on Xiao Minglou's lips deepened: "Really, what have you realized, let's hear it?"

Qi Chang thought for a while, and said: "Understand that all kinds of hardships are for going further. Therefore, after going through all kinds of things in the past, not only will my heart for the young master not change, but it will become more and more firm."

Qi Chang lowered his head, his indifferent face softened a little, when he stared at the person, he seemed to absorb the whole person in front of him.

Xiao Minglou: "..."

How did he go on with this?

Qi Chang covered Xiao Minglou's face with one hand, gently wiped away a trace of blood on his cheek with his thumb, and said in a low voice, "So, as long as I'm sincere, one day, it's not just a fantasy, right? , Minglou?"

It was neither the young master nor the lord, but his name was called.

There was a numbness in the ears, and half of the body trembled.

Xiao Minglou really wanted to rub his ears, but he didn't show embarrassment in front of Qi Chang, he held his breath and held back.

Qi Chang put it away when he saw it was good. When he retracted his hand, he twitched his thumb lightly, still savoring the soft and smooth touch.

After Su Ku reported the great victory of the Chinese army to the court, he returned to the court in a few days.

The country name of the Su Dynasty is Hua, and the country's capital is set at Changjing, which is in Qingfeng County in the south.

From north to south, the army marched for two full months before arriving at Changjing.When he arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, Xiao Minglou stationed his army in the outskirts of Beijing, and he brought less than [-] soldiers into Beijing.

At that time, the battle report of Xiao Minglou's defeat of the Heavenly Demon Army had already been sent back to the Southland. All over Huaguo, men, women, old and young, all heard about this god of war who had been born out of the sky. Everyone either thanked the heavens, or opened a family to worship the ancestors, to comfort the spirits of the ancestors in the sky , the Chinese are saved!

Because of this, when Xiao Minglou led his subordinates into the capital, the common people lined the road to greet them, and many flowers and handkerchiefs threw towards the soldiers riding tall horses in the middle of the road.

Xiao Minglou was the first to bear the brunt, the war horse couldn't stand the powdery smell, snorted several times, and almost turned his head against the people in front, but fortunately he stopped in time, so that the people who were overly enthusiastic didn't stumble.

Seeing this, Qi Chang took the initiative to ride his horse to his side, and helped Xiao Minglou block a lot of hairpins, rings and silk handkerchiefs. The girls were originally moved by Xiao Minglou's handsome face, but after seeing Qi Chang, they froze again. Screaming and falling in love with Qi Chang.

"Ah Chou." Xiao Minglou's face darkened slightly.

"Ok?"

"You seem to enjoy being surrounded by silk handkerchiefs of flowers?" Xiao Minglou's voice became deeper, as if it was raining before the storm.

Qi Chang casually took off the hairpin that fell on his shoulder, turned his head, and there was a hint of evil in his eyes: "I don't like it at all."

"Really? Then why do you..."

"My lord." Qi Chang moved closer to Xiao Minglou, his voice so low that only the two of them could hear, "But I don't like to see you surrounded."

Therefore, I would rather suffer a little by myself.

Xiao Minglou was both surprised and moved, the corners of his mouth curled unconsciously.

The army is still in court, even if it is a "story" in the imaginary world, as a member of the story, Xiao Minglou still had to follow the rules to meet Emperor Su, who is also Su Ku's nominal father.

Compared to having to salute a mortal for the sake of being realistic, Xiao Minglou felt that it might be more helpless for Su Ku to call the other party's father.

But this is all to end the troubled times, and Renren is fine.

Emperor Su was very satisfied with the candidates for the generals that Su Ku had brought back. He repeatedly praised the emperor's son for his insight and talent, and he also gave Su Ku the full power of Hu Guo's induction.

Of course, Emperor Su also treated Xiao Minglou very courteously. Not only did he give Xiao Minglou the title of General Conquering Peking, but he also bestowed many things, including a mansion.

The location of the General's Mansion is excellent, in the right city of Changjing, two roads away is the most prosperous Middle Street.

The days in Changjing City were very lively. Before that, General Xiao returned from a great victory, and later, Fanbang Hu Kingdom returned to our dynasty. There were discussions everywhere in the streets, and the common people were all talking about it.

As soon as Wang Jun arrived in front of the general's mansion, he saw Qi Chang dressed up, as if he was in a hurry to go somewhere.He hurriedly said: "Brother Qi, are you going to visit Hu Guolai? I heard from Master Su that this 'Hu Guo' may be that 'Fox Country', and I don't know if they are enemies or friends, will they meet? to familiar faces."

The implication is that it is necessary to inquire about the news as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later.

Qi Chang shook his head, "I'm going to find the young master."

"Ah?" Wang Jun looked bewildered, don't you two usually go out together, are you inseparable from Meng?

"Let's talk about it later." Qi Chang didn't have the mood to explain to the other party, he hurried forward and quickly disappeared on the busy street.

Leaving Wang Jun standing alone in front of the General's Mansion for a long time, he finally slapped his head and went to drink with Oldest Yu.

Anyway, Clan Master Su will support the sky falling, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

During these days, Qi Chang could always find that after lunch, Xiao Minglou would go out at the end of the day, and would not come back until one or two hours later.

If you ask him, you will only get a head-shaking answer, or a neutral "don't ask".

At first Qi Chang didn't ask questions, but after a long time, it was inevitable that he felt anxious.Xiao Minglou always reported good news but not bad news, if he was injured and refused to tell, what would he do if he went out for medical treatment without telling himself?

Now that everyone is a mortal body, even a small injury may kill someone.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't let it go, so Qi Chang decided to take advantage of the excitement in the city today and quietly follow Xiao Minglou without being easily spotted, so after Xiao Minglou went out, he followed after a while.

He stuck behind Xiao Minglou, watching the other party turn around on the middle street, and finally went around to the back of a restaurant, and entered through the small door for shopping.

Qi Chang frowned at the small locked door, simply climbed up the wall, propped it up with one hand, and walked in.

He didn't make any sound when he landed, and the waiter in the shop didn't notice him as he walked past.

Qi Chang began to look for Xiao Minglou in the store.

I have searched all over the wing room, but there is nothing;

Yajian has seen it, but there is no such thing.

Qi Chang frowned more and more tightly, and after walking around, he heard Xiao Minglou's voice in the back kitchen of the restaurant.

"Master Liu, is this done here?"

Xiao Minglou's long sleeves were rolled up, revealing two fair arms, and several small doughs, red and green, were spread out in front of him.He was trying hard to knead the small dough into the shape of a peony flower, and his handsome face was inevitably covered with flour.

Master Liu came over and took a look, with a complicated look on his face: "The technique is correct, that is..." The peony was pinched into a dog's tail flower.

"It's okay, as long as the filling is delicious." Xiao Minglou coughed lightly.

Qi Chang, who was standing outside the window, saw the scene in front of him, suddenly lost his words, and stood there blankly.

Until the shop waiter who went to pick up vegetables from the back kitchen found him: "Who is it?! The kitchen is an important place, no idlers are allowed to enter!"

Xiao Er's voice yelled so loudly that the whole back kitchen heard it, Xiao Minglou turned his head following the sound, and met Qi Chang's eyes just in time.

He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said to Qi Chang, "A Chou? You came just in time, come in and taste the colorful dumplings I made."

Qi Chang stiffened his back and walked in step by step, as if his mind hadn't turned the corner yet, he just followed orders.

It wasn't until a piece of steamed dumpling was stuffed into his mouth that Qi Chang finally recovered his voice, with a somewhat moved expression in his depression: "Why?"

"Ok?"

Xiao Minglou also stuffed one into his mouth, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes in satisfaction. After many improvements, the seasoning of the stuffing is very good. Although the appearance is not very good, it is good enough to eat, and the tuition fee is not in vain.

Xiao Minglou looked up at him, and said with a smile: "Of course I came to learn because you want to eat my cooking. By the way, is it delicious?"

"Delicious." Qi Chang held his hand and couldn't help pecking his lips, "It's so sweet."

It's so sweet.

The author has something to say: Qi Chang: I used to hate eating sweets, but now, I am willing to eat them to make me fat.

Xiao Minglou: ...
