This was the scene when Lin Xiaoyue and Liang Jingyao arrived at the city gate. There was a long queue. After registering with Chen Hu, they got food and went to rest.
The resting place is right next to it, and they paid to rent an unused house from a nearby farmer. Although it was a little crowded, these new soldiers didn't have any objections.
Liang Jingyao handed over the beggars brought by the ruined temple to Chen Hu and said: "You did a good job! Everyone here must be investigated clearly, especially the beggars who came out of the ruined temple! There have been rumors.
, saying that the left prime minister wants to lead troops to attack us, but there is no sign of it, so we must cheer up and never let others take advantage of the loophole!"
Chen Hu cupped his fists and responded, "Yes! I obey my orders!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and took Lin Xiaoyue to the kitchen, "It's so late, are you hungry? I'll give you a bowl of noodles to eat. The conditions here are not good, so don't mind!"
Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile: "It's okay! Just eat whatever you want! Tonight is the most critical. I think the Left Prime Minister is very likely to attack when everyone is most sleepy."
Liang Jingyao said while cooking the noodles: "I have the same idea as you. After you eat the noodles later, you can go back to the valley first. It is safe there, and the old wine monster will also be worried about your safety."
Although Lin Xiaoyue really wanted to stay, she thought that she didn't have any three-legged cat skills and might bring trouble to everyone, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay! You have a lot of things to do here, so let Zhanhu take me back."
Already."
Liang Jingyao quickly cooked the tomato and egg noodle soup. He took out a bowl and looked at Lin Xiaoyue expectantly and said, "Don't worry about this, I will arrange it! How do you like it first?"
Lin Xiaoyue feels that Liang Jingyao will think about everything for herself and does not want to worry too much about herself. He is a warm-hearted man!
She felt warm in her heart. She lowered her head and took a sip of the soup. Then she put a piece of egg into her mouth, nodded and said, "Okay! I think it tastes good."
Liang Jingyao felt a little proud, and he served himself a bowl, but when he took the first bite, he was still confused!
"Fool, I didn't add salt, why didn't you tell me?" Liang Jingyao wanted to pour the noodles out of Lin Xiaoyue's bowl.
"No! Failure is the mother of success. I am here to encourage you!" Lin Xiaoyue protected the noodles in the bowl, walked to the stove, grabbed a little salt and sprinkled it on it, stirred it twice with chopsticks, and said: "It's not bland now.
Yes, you can add some too."
Liang Jingyao asked in confusion: "Can it really be eaten? Don't get upset."
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "How could that happen? The noodles are still steaming!"
Liang Jingyao dubiously followed Lin Xiaoyue's example, and also added some salt to his bowl, stirred it evenly with chopsticks and took a bite. It finally had a salty taste, but it was a bit worse than adding salt when cooking.
"Next time I make it for you again, I won't forget to add salt!"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said: "Okay, you won't forget if you relax."
After dinner, Liang Jingyao exchanged a few words with Chen Hu and Zhan Hu, then rode back to the valley with Lin Xiaoyue.
At this time, Queen Mother Yan had fallen asleep due to her physical weakness, leaving Princess Mingzhu walking back and forth in the courtyard alone.
Lin Xiaoyue saw the figure of Princess Mingzhu as soon as she entered the yard. She quickly stepped forward to say hello and said: "Princess, why don't you rest?"
When Princess Mingzhu saw Lin Xiaoyue and Liang Jingyao coming back safely, a smile immediately appeared on her face, "You are finally back! The Queen Mother has been talking about you!"
Liang Jingyao glanced at the east room and asked, "Is the Queen Mother asleep? If not, I will go in and say hello to her."
Princess Mingzhu waved her hand and said: "No, the Queen Mother has gone to bed, let's do it tomorrow!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said: "Okay then! I will return to the city gate soon. There are many Cheetah Army and Silver Sword Guards guarding the Bamboo Garden. You can live here with peace of mind. This is the safest place at the moment!"
Princess Mingzhu asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Can't you even take a night's rest?"
Liang Jingyao smiled and patted his chest and said: "I'm fine. There is news that the Left Prime Minister is going to lead troops to attack us. I don't know when he will make a surprise attack. I have to go back and be ready at all times."
Princess Mingzhu sighed and said, "Oh...well then! You must come back safely!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "Don't worry!"
Princess Mingzhu personally walked Liang Jingyao to the entrance of the courtyard. She did not walk back to the courtyard until Liang Jingyao's figure completely disappeared.
Lin Xiaoyue felt that Princess Mingzhu was worried, so she stayed with her uneasily, "Princess, Mr. Gu has recruited a lot of people to join the army. Now Brother Liang has doubled the number of people. I'm sure everything will be fine with you!
It's better to go back and rest early, I'll help you get hot water."
Princess Mingzhu held Lin Xiaoyue's hand and said, "I'm not sleepy yet. Can you tell me what's going on outside?"
Lin Xiaoyue didn't want Princess Mingzhu to worry too much, so she just said briefly, "Everything is fine now. The city gate and the road up the mountain are heavily guarded, and it has not affected the lives of the people in the city. Brother Liang is mainly anxious to go back.
At night is when people are most sleepy, and he wanted to watch it himself."
Princess Mingzhu nodded and said: "It's a pity that Jiacheng was captured and beaten to the point of breaking his bones, otherwise more people could have helped.
Jing Yao, now it’s all supported by Jing Yao alone, it’s really not easy!”
Lin Xiaoyue comforted her: "Eldest Princess, don't worry, Brother Liang has survived even the most difficult time, and everything will go smoothly in the future! Eldest Princess, it's too late today, you'd better go back and rest, it will be easier to enter the house later."
Wake up the Queen Mother. The elderly are light sleepers. I will go get you some hot water now."
Princess Mingzhu thought of Empress Dowager Yan who had fallen asleep, so she pulled Lin Xiaoyue and said, "No need to go to so much trouble. Just keep everything simple outside now. I'll follow you there. It's pitch dark anyway and no one will see her."
Lin Xiaoyue felt that the eldest princess Mingzhu was really friendly and had no airs at all. For such a good person, Emperor Liang could be so defensive. It was really full of shit in his head!
"The kitchen is a mess. Princess, please be careful." With that said, Lin Xiaoyue walked into the kitchen first.
At this time, the kerosene lamp was still on in the kitchen, and Chen Yunyun was preparing tomorrow's breakfast.
"Sister Lin, you're back! Look, I've soaked all the soybeans!" Chen Yunyun patted the large porcelain vat at his feet and said proudly.
Lin Xiaoyue hugged Chen Yunyun distressedly and said, "You took a lot of trouble when I was away. The soybeans will be the same when I come."
Chen Yunyun waved his hand and said, "I'm not idle at all. There are adults in the yard. I'm not used to it."
Lin Xiaoyue quickly covered Chen Yunyun's mouth, blinked and said, "The eldest princess wants to wash up. Is there any hot water in the kitchen?"
