After binding the investment system, I began to cultivate the empress

"Come in."

The lieutenant general walked into the tent and was startled at first: "Commander, your old injury has recurred?"

"It's just some blood circulation, it's nothing serious."

Qu Sheng saw the lieutenant's expression and frowned.

"Is the military rations collection going smoothly?"

The lieutenant general said in a muffled voice, "The quartermasters who went to the various towns to requisition rations all said that the local garrisons were not cooperating and only surrendered a token amount of rations. What ungrateful bastards!"

"Less is better." Qu Sheng sighed silently.

If the garrison troops are forced too hard, they will eventually have no choice but to force the people under their rule.

Nanguan is no longer the place it once was with a million strong army and the whole country of Dayu fully supporting it.

"Let's think of another way."

Rubbing his eyebrows, Qu Sheng looked at the map in the tent, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he turned around and looked at the lieutenant general who was still standing there.

"Anything else?"

The lieutenant nodded: "Among this batch of military supplies, some were given to me by Young Master Li..."

"The supplies he purchased before coming to Southern Xinjiang?"

Qu Sheng was startled, then smiled and said:

“Although it’s just a drop in the bucket, it’s a token of my appreciation.”

How much supplies can one bring when traveling alone to southern Xinjiang?

But he never dreamed that who was Li Mo's purchasing agent at that time was a man who was always ready to stay in one place for the rest of his life.

"It's not a drop in the bucket. You'll see once you see it."

Ok?

Qu Sheng was puzzled and took the Sumeru object handed to him by the general.

"The food and medicine here were all sent by Young Master Li."

"..."

Qu Sheng opened his eyes slightly. These military rations were equivalent to one third of the rations collected from various towns.

Military rations are secondary.

There were also many common elixirs, such as healing medicine and qi-replenishing pills, all of which were packed in the Sumeru object he gave to the general.

Even with these supplies, there was still an inevitable shortage of military supplies, but it did greatly alleviate the urgent need.

Qu Sheng exhaled deeply, was excited for a moment, and then his expression became a little complicated.

The battle for Aoki Castle is about to begin.

He still didn't know how much power the disaster beast and the remnants of the Shang Dynasty had mobilized this time.

He could only try his best to increase his chances of winning and increase the hope of defending Aoki Castle.

This is also why he hesitated that day and swallowed the words he wanted to say to persuade the young marquis and Young Master Li.

But what if we can’t hold it?

Are we going to let people like Young Master Li die here with them?

.........

the other side.

In Jiawei Restaurant, the aroma of delicious food wafts through the side rooms. These are the four simple dishes that Xiao Li and Bingtuozi have every day.

Missing the soup.

While eating, Li Mo has been studying:

"Bingtuozi, how effective is it to put golden leaf health-promoting grass in the soup?"

"That's for alchemy. If you put it in the soup...it will only retain 50% of its effect."

Ying Bingxue's cheeks moved slightly.

Student Xiao Li often develops recipes. This time he should be researching how to make soup?

She's used to it.

"That's not bad."

Li Mo placed the golden leaf health-promoting grass on the table, took out a box of strange little flowers and asked:

"Will the medicinal properties conflict if used with the Runyuan rose petals?"

"No, they kind of complement each other."

Ying Bing said as he spoke.

Li Mo took out rare treasures one after another, filling half the table with a dazzling array of items.

Ying Bing raised her eyebrows slightly. With so many ingredients, let alone a whole pot, a bucket would be enough.

"What kind of soup are you going to make?"

Li Mo thought for a moment and said, "If I must say what kind of soup it is...Ice Tuna Soup?"

"?"

Li Mo picked up all the rare treasures and placed them in the large bathtub carved out of a tree root. He then shouted outside, asking the waiter to prepare hot water.

Soon, the room was filled with steam and the sweet aroma of flowers and plants.

Li Mo looked at the bathtub with petals floating in it, tested the water temperature, and felt that it was about the same as the Fountain of Youth, then looked to the side:

"Bingtuozi, the soup is ready, come in."

Ying Bing pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes filled with complex and incomprehensible expressions:

"Is this today's four dishes and one soup?"

"Clam?"

Li Mo was stunned when he heard this.

I didn't make soup when I cooked today, mainly because I came back late and he was tired.
