Harem Daily Life

Qi Yizheng got a roast chicken and found a way to call Jiang Yingying and Zhou Dazhuang to a remote place, and the three of them ate together.

"Well, this chicken leg is the most delicious chicken leg I have ever eaten. I have never tasted like this before." Jiang Yingying was really hungry and her mouth was full of oil.

Zhou Dazhuang took the initiative to eat the chicken necks, heads and racks that no one else wanted, and he ate them with relish.

Qi·Food Connoisseur·Yizheng finished eating a chicken drumstick and thought of the roasted chicken drumsticks at Sihaiju in Beijing. Comparing the two, he shook his head and said, "I'm just hungry. Otherwise, I wouldn't be impressed by the cooking skills."

The honest cook who was robbed of his roast chicken sneezed and felt like someone was tickling his back. What was wrong with him?

After the three of them finished eating, they dug a hole and buried the chicken bones. After smoothing the soil, they wiped their hands and returned to their tent.

Early in the morning of the third day, they were woken up by the young officer again, who scolded them and told them to take two mixed flour buns each, and then pack their luggage and set off.

Qi Yizheng gave Jiang Yingying a look, and the two communicated silently. They were about to embark on their journey home.

When the army set out, Qi Yizheng and his men could not see the military leaders. They were all riding tall horses in front, and the new recruits could only walk behind on foot.

It was now icy and snowy, and the road was muddy, which was extremely embarrassing. Fortunately, they left the city very smoothly and there was no need to be checked at all. The two of them just mixed in with the Yan army and headed towards the Great Zhou.

"Are you tired? Let me carry you for a while." Qi Yizheng asked Jiang Yingying while holding her arm.

After leaving the city gate, the team walked a little loosely, and some who could not walk fell behind the team. The two of them and Zhou Dazhuang walked behind, following the main group at a leisurely pace.

Jiang Yingying shook her head: "It's okay. If you carry me on your back, it will easily attract attention. It's better to keep a low profile." In fact, her feet were already burning. She really wanted to ride a horse or sit in a carriage and travel comfortably.

Qi Yizheng glanced at the team and said, "You are my younger brother. Isn't it normal for me, as an older brother, to carry my younger brother on my back?"

After he finished speaking, he carried Jiang Yingying on his back without saying anything.

Jiang Yingying wanted to get down, but Qi Yizheng turned his head and said seriously, "Don't move, or you'll attract attention."

Jiang Yingying had no choice but to let him do what he wanted, but she wiped his sweat from time to time. In this cold winter, carrying a 90-pound person on his back and walking for a long distance would be very tiring.

Feeling the obedience of his fiancée on his back, Qi Yizheng curled the corners of his mouth.

As they walked, they gradually fell behind, and even Zhou Dazhuang walked ahead of them. However, Qi Yizheng was not worried. In fact, he walked slower and slower on purpose because - the cook battalion was following at the end of the team.

In order to transport all those pots, pans, and utensils, the cook camp had to have a carriage. When the cook camp came up, Qi Yizheng looked into the team and soon saw the honest cook from before. He was sitting in the carriage driving the car. While others were exhausted, he was leisurely and contented.

Qi Yizheng couldn't help laughing and walked slowly to the side of the team. When the honest cook approached, he put Jiang Yingying down and lifted her onto the edge of the carriage with a force.

Honest cook: “…”

Where did you come from, you new soldier? Do you think you can ride in my carriage?

But before he could question it, a familiar face came up to him and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Honest cook: “…”

The pain of having a roast chicken robbed hasn't passed yet, and now they're robbing the carriage again?

He didn't believe it was real, so he closed his eyes and opened them again, but it was still the same face that had given him two copper coins and deserved a beating...

"Look at you, why are you so stingy? My brother can't walk anymore, so I'd like to lend you my carriage. Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I'll give you money." Qi Yizheng shamelessly forced the purchase.

The honest cook gritted his teeth and said, "This carriage is not mine. If someone sees your brother riding in it, what will happen if they try to ride in it too? Get off now and don't make things difficult for me."

Qi Yizheng looked around and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Then just say he's from your cook camp and is just taking a ride. Besides, we're both serving in Dayan, and we're all comrades. You won't even do him a favor for such a small thing? That's unacceptable!"

Honest cook: “…”

You robbed my carriage and you still have such a good reason for it. How infuriating!

Qi Yizheng took out his purse from his pocket, picked up the smallest piece of silver from it and stuffed it into the honest cook's pocket: "You can keep the fare for the carriage first. Anyway, the carriage is empty on one side, and you can make some money by taking someone on it. It's not a loss for you."

Honest cook: “…”

What you said makes so much sense that I almost believed you.

He was so angry that his face turned green, but he didn't want to cause any more trouble, lest this shameless boy reveal his secret of eating alone.

There was a shortage of food in the military camp, and it was not easy to get meat. He didn't want to be discovered so quickly. If he was discovered, he would be in trouble.

Qi Yizheng also calculated that this honest cook would not dare to cause trouble, so he focused on him and pulled him.

I will never admit that I am shameless and rely on others.

It took the army six full days to reach Wuya City, a pace achieved by these foot soldiers. The vanguard cavalry battalion had already arrived and had already engaged the Great Zhou army a few dozen miles outside Wuya City.

When Qi Yizheng and his companions arrived at Wuya City, they saw that the whole city was desolate.

There are almost no people left in the city, and those who remain are ordinary people who have nowhere to go.

These reinforcements no longer needed to live in tents. They were all arranged to live in the city so that they could go out of the city to fight at any time.

At night, Jiang Yingying stayed alone in her residence, waiting for Qi Yizheng to come back after finding out the news.

Qi Yizheng didn't know where he found a set of armor. After returning, he wiped it for a long time before handing it to Jiang Yingying: "You will wear this tomorrow. Although it is not very good, it can at least protect the important parts."

Jiang Yingying nodded, and when no one was around, she whispered, "Has the message been sent out?"

They originally had a channel to send news to Da Zhou. This channel was established through a traveling merchant team. The other party was from Da Zhou and cared about their country. So they used the trade between Da Zhou and Yan State to help Qi Yizheng send a "family letter".

Qi Yizheng's "family letters" were all processed using special techniques. Although they appeared to contain certain content, after some manipulation, it was discovered that there was other content hidden inside.

This channel has always been very useful, and it has delivered a lot of news to the capital and to His Majesty. However, in the past two months, perhaps because the two sides are at war and the caravans traveling back and forth no longer do business, the transmission channel has been lost, and even the middlemen cannot be contacted.

Qi Yizheng sneaked out tonight to gather information and also to find a way to contact the Great Zhou.

He looked around, held Jiang Yingying's hand and pressed it hard, then nodded gently.

"Marquis Ningyuan and General Gu are both asking for my information, but we can't go back for the time being. We have a mission that must be completed!"
