Border Cook

"General Tao said no, so what? Anyway, the competition is over. I don't care."

Xia Yunji even looked at Tao Ankang, "General Tao, you really didn't beg for mercy, so just assume that I heard it wrong."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Tao Ankang again. This time, their gazes were like sharp swords, as if they would not stop until they pierced countless bloody holes in him.

Tao Ankang's head exploded with a buzzing sound, and he felt as if he had fallen into a sacred lake in the middle of winter. He was so cold that he was numb and unable to move, let alone open his mouth.

Seeing this, Li Juncheng said, "General Tao is also tired, let's send him back to rest."

The guards had already dragged Tao Ankang, who was like a wooden chicken, back into the house.

Without the annoying person around, Li Juncheng's face was filled with joy. He ordered someone to prepare a new table for Xia Yunji and raised his glass to him, "Commander Xia is indeed worthy of his reputation."

"This is just the beginning. I feel like the muscles in my body haven't been fully stretched yet. If Your Highness the Second Prince wants to have another competition like this in the future, it would be better to send a few more people, otherwise it will be too unsatisfying." Xia Yunji answered nonchalantly.

Li Juncheng, "..."

Arrogant, very arrogant.

But judging from the situation just now, Xia Yunji has the capital to be arrogant.

"Okay, if there is a next time, I will make sure to make arrangements for Commander Xia." Li Juncheng agreed with a smile.

"Let's wait and see." Xia Yunji smiled and looked at the whole lamb that was still turning and roasting on the campfire. "Just now General Tao said that the winner of the competition can eat the roasted lamb. Now I have won, can we start eating?"

They hadn't even finished their meal when they were called out, and they were still thinking of making fun of them. Now that they have won a great victory, they naturally cannot waste this delicious roast lamb.

You have to get it back no matter what, to avoid being at a disadvantage!

"Of course." Li Juncheng raised his hand with a smile and ordered his subordinates to bring up the roasted lamb and share it with Xia Yunji and Lu Qiyan.

As he was accompanying the guests at the table, he naturally had to eat a few bites as well.

The roasted whole lamb uses lambs that are less than six months old. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, juicy and delicious. You don’t even need to use any seasoning. Just slice the meat and put it in your mouth and it will be delicious.

If you dip it in some chili powder, cumin powder, etc., it will taste even more fragrant. After you take a big bite, your mouth will be filled with the fresh and delicious taste that will linger for a long time.

"Delicious!" Xia Yunji's mouth was full of oil and he was very satisfied.

Not to mention, if you can get a delicious whole roasted lamb in exchange for a few fights, it’s not a loss at all.

Even a bit of a bargain!

I hope Jin Weiguo will have more free time in the future and attend more competitions so that he can have more roasted whole lambs to eat.

Seeing that Xia Yunji was enjoying his meal, Li Juncheng took advantage of this opportunity to secretly ask, "Commander Xia, let's just talk nonsense. I'm also very curious, so I asked Commander Xia..."

"What does your Highness want to ask?"

"Commander Lu..." Li Juncheng paused and said, "If Commander Lu is compared with Commander Xia, how is his skill?"

Li Juncheng had long heard that Lu Qiyan was far superior to others in terms of arranging troops and fighting alone. Li Juncheng could tell from the results of the battles that Lu Qiyan had deployed troops, and as for his skills...

"Your Highness the Second Prince has stumped me with your question." Xia Yunji's face was suddenly filled with embarrassment.

"What do you mean?" Li Juncheng was surprised. "Could it be that Commander Xia has never fought with Commander Lu?"

"That's not the case. On the contrary, I often spar with my brother-in-law, but I always lose. And I can see that my brother-in-law didn't use his full strength. So it's very embarrassing to talk about this matter. It's really hard to open up. It was only because the Second Prince came to ask that I opened my mouth to talk about it."

After Xia Yunji finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.

Li Juncheng, "..."

I thought Xia Yunji was a devil, but I didn’t expect there was a bigger devil, Lu Qiyan.

Great Zhou, Western Frontier Army...

There is a reason why Jin Weiguo is not a match for the other side.

Li Juncheng himself sighed.

There are indeed many things that Jin Weiguo needs to learn.

They enjoyed the roasted whole lamb very much, so they naturally drank more wine and talked more.

Li Juncheng held Lu Qiyan tightly and refused to let go. They talked about everything under the sun, humanities, and their opinions, as if they had met too late. The conversation ended only when it was very late and Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji were very drunk and clamored to go home.

When Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji walked, they staggered, linked shoulders with each other, and looked very drunk. But after leaving the yard where Jin Weiguo lived, the two of them stood up straight as if they had agreed.

His steps became steady and light, and even his eyes, which had been blurry, were now completely clear.

The two people's actions were coincidental and very consistent, so they looked at each other and smiled slightly.

"I was saying it. I've never seen my brother-in-law drunk. Jin Weiguo's sorghum wine isn't too strong. How could it make my brother-in-law drunk? It's just as I thought. He was thinking of pretending to be drunk and leaving early."

"If I don't pretend to be drunk, I'm afraid that the Second Prince will never stop." Lu Qiyan was also very helpless, but he smiled and patted Xia Yunji's shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work today, Yunji."

"It's not hard work. Those guys are not hard enough for me. I just find it very funny." Xia Yunji smiled, "The guy named Tao worked hard to set up the Hongmen Banquet, but in the end he shot himself in the foot. It's really funny."

"Hey, brother-in-law, why did the Jin Wei Kingdom send such a stupid person to follow the Second Prince to negotiate? Isn't this obviously embarrassing the Jin Wei Kingdom? Isn't the Jin Wei Kingdom afraid that such a fool will affect the peace talks between the two countries?"

Xia Yunji was a little confused.

"I'm afraid this is not what the King of Jinwei wants, nor what the Second Prince wants."

Lu Qiyan said, "I heard that the Grand Prince Li Junhao of Jinwei is very warlike and strongly disagrees with this peace talk. Moreover, Li Junhao has been in the army for a long time and often leads troops. Many generals in this camp support him very much. Tao Kanglai is probably one of them."

"If Tao Kanglai was sent by Li Junhao specifically, his behavior is incomprehensible. It would be best if he could make us suffer a setback. If not, it would be a good deal if he could create some trouble and make things difficult for Li Juncheng."

Although this kind of embarrassment often also embarrasses the entire Jinwei Kingdom, Li Junhao is thousands of miles away and cannot see or hear anything. It is far less embarrassing than Li Juncheng seeing it in person, so naturally he does not care. (End of this chapter)
