Chapter 244
"You go, I'll watch here, but you have to come back quickly, I'm not a soldier, if an assassin really comes, I can't protect Madam well."

Since the poisoning incident happened in the barracks, Mo Qiubai sent some more people over. There is no safer place in the world than the Nancheng barracks. The soldiers were very excited, and they kept thanking the cook.

"Thank you, lady, we will go back as soon as we go."

Seeing their figures getting further and further away, the cook raised her lips.

"Humph."

Xie Cheng, who was sleeping, suddenly smelled a strong fragrance, and she sniffed.

"What is the taste?"

It was so fragrant that she couldn't help opening her eyes.

Looking at the strange face in front of him, Xie Cheng was very vigilant.

"who are you?"

Hearing this, the cook smiled: "Oh, this servant is the cook who cooks for the soldiers. Seeing that you haven't eaten, this servant wants to bring you food."

She opened the food box in her hand.

The delicious food inside aroused the glutton in Xie Cheng's stomach, and she swallowed.

"I've never seen you before, what's your name?"

There are not many cooks in the barracks, there are about 50 cooks, and there are more than cooks.

She has been to the kitchen several times. Although she can't remember the names of the cooks and cooks, she can remember the outlines of their faces.

Whether you've seen her or not, you know.

Seeing the suspicion in Xie Cheng's eyes, the cook pursed her lips, but she didn't answer the question.

"My lady, let's eat quickly, the food will be cold soon."

She directly picked up the rice in the lunch box.

A few wisps of hot air drifted past Xie Cheng's eyes, and her gaze became much more cautious.

"I don't have an appetite now, you can put the food here first, I'll eat when I'm hungry."

The cook's throat twitched slightly: "Then how can I do it? These meals are specially prepared for my wife. They are very nourishing. Take a bite and fill your stomach."

Made it just for her, it's interesting.

Xie Cheng looked down at the food: "Tell me, what's your name?"

She squeezed the silver needle in her hand tightly.

After a while, the cook suddenly laughed, she was getting impatient.

"I wanted you to eat and drink enough before going on the road, but if you don't want to, then I can't help it." Her eyes were poisoned: "I'm sorry, ma'am."

Xie Cheng reacted, she ran away, and the cook was not to be outdone.

After running out of the tent, Xie Cheng shouted for help.

"Help, is there anyone?"

She yelled that her throat was smoking, but no one paid any attention to her, Xie Cheng was very puzzled.

Where did all those soldiers go?They have practiced martial arts all year round, so their ears should be very good, and they should have heard her shouts long ago.

Fortunately, the military camp in Nancheng was complicated and there were many mountains beside it. Xie Cheng hid in a pile of dry firewood. She covered her mouth with her hands, for fear that the cook might hear her breathing.

The cook standing outside was also looking for Xie Cheng angrily.

"Ma'am, where have you been? Come out quickly, don't struggle anymore, can't you eat and drink with me?"

Of course it's not good, is she going to stand where she is and let others slaughter her?

Xie Cheng closed her eyes, her body was trembling.

I don't know how long it took, the footsteps outside disappeared, but Xie Cheng didn't dare to go out, she hid in the pile of dry wood for an hour.

Seeing that it was almost afternoon, and the soldiers still didn't show up, Xie Cheng finally became suspicious.

"You won't be drugged again?"

Could it be that the cook's real goal is not her, but she is just talking about it, but her real goal is the money and food in the barracks.

Thinking of this, Xie Cheng's eyes became more serious, and she could no longer sit still.

It is not easy to raise an army. Ma Bu has managed to earn so much money and set up so many military camps. She cannot let his hard work go to waste.

After taking a few deep breaths, Xie Cheng resolutely walked out from the pile of dry wood, and the cook really disappeared.

Before he had taken two steps, Xie Cheng saw the flames soaring into the sky.

"not good."

The cook really did something to the grain and grass.

In the evening, Mo Qiubai came back.

He was very surprised to see the unkempt soldiers and Xie Cheng.

"What's going on here?"

Xie Cheng was very aggrieved, she was crying.

"I'm sorry, I didn't protect the food and grass well."

All the food and grass were burned, and the horses in the stables were also released.

It's all her fault, why didn't she see Chongyang's true purpose at first?
The more Xie Cheng thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and her eyes became more and more red.

And Mo Qiubai didn't blame her, he just gently hugged Xie Cheng into his arms.

"Silly girl, how can I blame you for this, it's okay, two strawberries will be gone, as long as you have nothing to do with these soldiers."

Hearing his words, the soldiers looked at each other, they were very moved.

"Master, thank you for your impunity."

At night, Xie Cheng and Mo Qiubai sat together, their faces were very solemn.

The dappled candlelight shone on Xie Cheng's face, and her eyes flickered.

"Mo Qiubai, what should we do now? There is no more food and grass, should we buy it again?"

After a while, Mo Qiubai said: "It's okay, I've sent someone to handle this matter, you don't have to feel too guilty, this matter is not your fault."

It's just food and grass. He has been earning money outside these years, and he also has several banks in his hands, which are enough for him to do business.

Xie Cheng raised his head: "Are you rich?"

Seeing the guilty look on her face, Mo Qiubai suddenly got up and sat beside her.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, someone will bring new grain and grass tomorrow, and you will go with me when the time comes."

Hearing this, Xie Cheng didn't respond, wondering what she was thinking?
After half a month.

Mo Qiubai has already recruited a lot of young and strong men, and they all volunteered to join the military camp, willing to resist the Queen Mother Qi.

"Everyone, I'm leaving soon, are you afraid?"

In a few days, Chu State will become a battlefield.

To be honest, everyone is still a little nervous. They have never been soldiers, have never been to a battlefield, and have never seen the scene of people fighting.

"I'm a little scared, but we are willing to fight hard. The current emperor is incompetent, and the Empress Dowager Qi is at the mercy of cholera. Mr. Fu Shi, please lead us to revive the country and create the glory of the past."

Everyone knows that Mo Qiubai is the son of the rich world, and they also know that he is the second prince of Chu State who has been lost for many years.

No one is more suitable to be emperor than him.

The imperial city of Chu.

The Peach Blossom Restaurant was very lively, and the discussions among the guests inside were in full swing.

"I heard that Nancheng is about to attack the imperial city."
