When fighting in the army, salt, especially refined salt, is valuable, but my father seemed to be willing to give it up without any money.
Did you bring a lot of salt during this expedition to Chu?
How come he has no concept of salt at all?
This is so salty, he still wants to eat it?
If you eat it once, you will regret it for the rest of your life. It would be awesome if you could eat it in big mouthfuls!
Why not call him King Xian instead of King Xian...
It’s simply not for human consumption!
Does the father want to kill himself so that he can inherit his military exploits?
If he is guilty, please let the military law punish him instead of being forced to eat the meat roasted by his father.
…
Xiao Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the celebration banquet was not hosted by his father himself.
Just when the wise king kept asking Xiao Ye to eat meat, and Xiao Ye was miserable and refused repeatedly, a soldier came in, cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness."
King Xian put down the bowl he pushed toward Xiao Ye and said, "What's the matter?"
The armored man said: "After interrogation for a long time, the two captured thieves refused to confess or surrender. In addition, they were injured by His Royal Highness's thunder and fire. We dare not use torture, so we came here to ask for instructions from the prince."
The wise king snorted and said: "He is a tough guy. I am currently rewarding the prince, so I have no time to do so, so I will imprison him first."
At this moment, Xiao Ye stood up and said: "Father, I am willing to help my father to ask about the military situation!"
The wise king waved his hand and said: "Sit down, sit down. Now that you are a man of military merit, how can you do the job of interrogating enemy generals? It's delicious."
Xiao Ye heard the words of the wise king and immediately said: "My son wants to share the worries of his father and does not dare to take credit and enjoy himself. I ask my father's permission."
Seeing Xiao Ye's determination, King Xian could only nod his head and said: "Okay, since you are so ambitious, I don't force you to stay as a father."
When Xiao Ye heard King Xian agreed, he quickly rushed out of the tent.
King Xian looked at Xiao Ye who was so diligent, with a look of relief on his face. This boy became more diligent when he got to the battlefield, and he also knew how to share his father's worries. Not bad.
How many guns does he have that can emit thunder and fire?
I have to find a way to trick... ahem... borrow one to play with.
Think about it, when Xu Qing introduced this thing to him, he still looked down upon it. Can something with such a short range go into battle to kill the enemy?
And now...
well……
…
In the tent where enemy generals are imprisoned
Lu Ling had been forced to remove his armor, his hands were tied, medicine was applied to the wound on his left chest, gauze was tied, and medicinal oil was applied to the surrounding burns.
The armor helped him block most of the injuries, and although there were wounds, they did not hurt his heart. Most of them were burns. He is much better now, at least not as serious as when he was first hit by a lead bullet. Now he can do simple activities.
There is no problem, but if you want to use force, it may not be that easy. Once the wound opens, it will be excruciating pain.
Another enemy general named Zhang An was better than Lu Ling. At least it was not as dangerous as Lu Ling's injury. He was only injured on the shoulder blade.
Of course, even minor injuries come at a cost. Lu Ling only had his hands tied up, but Zhang An was not so lucky and was tied up in one place.
This tent is guarded inside and outside by elite soldiers. It would be a fool's errand to escape.
At this time, Lu Ling and Zhang An were enduring the pain and chatting through gritted teeth.
Lu Ling looked at Zhang An, who was tied up with five flowers, and said: "Brother Zhang, we must not betray the imperial court because we are deeply favored by the emperor! We should rather die than surrender! We must not accept surrender in order to live in an ignoble way!"
Zhang An's lips were trembling due to the pain from the burn. After hearing what Lu Ling said to him, he still said: "Brother Lu is right!"
At this moment, the curtain was opened and Xiao Ye walked in from the outside. He looked at the two of them and said, "I heard that General Lu and General Zhang are unwilling to surrender to our army?"
Lu Ling looked like he would rather die than surrender and hummed: "Daydreaming!"
Zhang An remembered Lu Ling's words just now and gritted his teeth and said: "Wishful thinking!"
Xiao Ye was very satisfied with their answers, nodded, and asked: "General Lu and General Zhang haven't eaten yet, right?"
Lu Ling said nothing, but Zhang An stared at Xiao Ye and said, "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Ye turned his head and ordered: "Come here, serve the meat."
A group of people brought a piece of raw meat and grill seasonings up and put them on the fire. Xiao Ye began to imitate Xu Qing and grilled the meat on the shelf. The aroma of the meat suddenly overflowed. Xiao Ye saw that it was almost done.
Then I sprinkled a little more seasoning on it, and the taste suddenly became more appealing.
Not only Lu Ling and Zhang An, the two hungry enemy generals who had barely taken a sip of water, but also the soldiers on the side couldn't help but start swallowing their saliva.
Your Highness’s barbecue is so delicious!
Lu Ling and Zhang An, who were tied and sitting on the ground, swallowed their saliva.
Xiao Ye carefully cut off the outermost thin piece of meat with a knife, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and said with satisfaction: "It's the most comfortable to eat meat that you roast yourself. Brother Xu's method of roasting is really good.
No wonder Xueer likes to eat the grilled fish cooked by Brother Xu so much."
Zhang An usually likes to eat, but when Xiao Ye stimulated him like this, if his mouth was not too close to the ground, his saliva would flow down three thousand feet.
Xiao Ye looked at the two of them and made a symbolic interrogation: "If you want to eat barbecue, then tell me all the generals, generals, captains Zichong, and captain Guoyi who are going on this expedition. You guys understand.
?”
Zhang An couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he heard Xiao Ye's words. Is he here to interrogate the enemy's future?
Which general can remember so many names? It's not easy to remember the first-level staff generals. He even wants the names of captain-level generals like Captain Zhechong and Captain Guo Yi. Who the hell can remember this?
Is he sincerely asking about military information?
And at this moment, the look in the other person's eyes seems to be saying, just be content if you haven't reached the first level of team leader...
Lu Ling snorted: "You are just trying to recruit me to surrender because of your mere appetite. It is simply wishful thinking! You should give up this idea as soon as possible. Kill or behead them all as you please!"
Xiao Ye waved his hand, cut off another thin piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and said: "Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I know the two generals are dedicated to serving the country and are not the kind of people who are greedy for food and drink, so let's all save it.
Come on, don't confess or surrender, and I can stay here a little longer, which is good for both of us."
No, why are you going out?
Do you want to eat the salty beef that your father roasts?
Now, by interrogating enemy generals, you can also hide here and eat your own roasted meat.
So comfortable!
He's not stupid.
Such days lasted for three days. Zhang An, who had been persisting under Lu Ling's encouragement, could barely hold on. However, for three consecutive days, they could only eat one or two hard steamed buns a day. Lu Ling was still there.
Despite all the hard work and support, Zhang An's perseverance is getting worse day by day, and he can't hold on any longer!
Originally he wouldn't be like this, but he couldn't bear the thought of a nasty guy sitting in front of them grilling meat as soon as it was time for dinner. Even if it was grilled, it was so fragrant. Even if it was fragrant, he still ate so much...
He doesn't do anything that has anything to do with people!
…
Xiao Ye has no choice. If he doesn't interrogate the enemy general here, he will go out and be forced by his father to eat roast beef!
Finally, at noon on the third day
Zhang An, who was disheveled and hungry, couldn't bear it anymore. He looked at Xiao Ye who was eating meat in front of him and shouted: "I want to surrender! I can't bear it anymore!"
Xiao Ye, who was enjoying his meal, heard this and quickly shook his head and said: "No, you don't want to!"
