There was a well beside the camp. The soldiers usually collected their water there.
Cui Lingyi got someone to get some well water and boiled it to make oolong tea.
Everyone sat on the gra.s.s and looked at the blue sky, white clouds, and round sun in the distance with a satisfied smile.
The soldiers beside them were also eagerly cooking.
Before the meal was ready, their eyeb.a.l.l.s already looked like they were about to fall into the pot.
The team was going to set off early the next morning. Bai Wutong would leave them some more food. In two days, the food from the caravan store and the stir-fried rice from the Syrians would be transported over.
Bai Wutong had paid for these herself. The southern frontier still did not have any earnings yet, but they already owed them a huge sum.
However, thinking about the jade mines and oil in the southern frontier, this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket.
They would be able to earn it back soon.
Moreover, there were so many abundant products in the southern frontier. There were fat cows and sheep, durable denim fabric, seafood, and other treasures.
When they settled down and used oil extraction to produce asphalt, they could build asphalt roads in the desert. The originally one-month journey could be reduced to half a month, and the entire southern frontier could then become connected.
However, this was only an idea. It would still take a long time for this to be realized.
The oolong tea was steaming. In the white porcelain cup, the tea was crystal clear.
Bai Wutong and Cui Lingyi took a sip at the same time and exclaimed at the quality of tea.
Stinky and Xiaobai ran crazily on the gra.s.s at the side.
Bai Wutong looked at their happy expressions and hesitated for a moment. Should she train Xiaobai’s survival skills in the wilderness and let it return to nature?
Seeing the smile on her face suddenly freeze, Cui Lingyi asked with concern, ‘What’s wrong?”
Bai Wutong shook her head. “Nothing.”
Nothing could be rushed now. Let’s take it slow.
Xiaobai was good-looking and strong. How could it not find a girlfriend?
She suddenly smiled again at the thought.
Perhaps this was how an old mother yearned for her son to start a family.
Chu Tianbao came over to call Bai Wutong for dinner.
Bai Wutong stood up and saw groups of soldiers holding bowls away from their dining table.
They had just thought that it was a blissful thing to be able to eat corn paste. When they saw the sumptuous food on Bai Wutong and the others’ dining table, they immediately felt that it was no longer fragrant.
They tried to sniff every scent in the air as if they could taste the food in their mouths.
When he saw that his soldiers were huddled there looking like they were begging for food, Lu Ye walked through the crowd and said in a low voice, ‘What are you looking at? Go back to your seats.” The soldiers swallowed and reluctantly moved away.
Their speed were comparable to a snail.
Lu Ye still wanted to scold them. When he saw the delicacies on Bai Wutong and the others’ dining table from the corner of his eye, he couldn’t help but gulp.
Roasted whole sheep!!! Braised pork, braised tofu, potatoes stewed with salted fish, stir-fried bamboo shoots, garlic stir-fried wild vegetables... and a few small side dishes.
He had been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, but even at the General’s residence had never seen such a rich variety of dishes.
It was no wonder the soldiers were unwilling to leave. Even if he saw them, he did not want to leave.
Didn’t they say that all the migrants from the southern frontier were refugees?
Why were these refugees doing better than him, a deputy general?
Seeing that he had been standing there, and his eyes were filled with desire, Bai Wutong was too embarra.s.sed to eat and asked, “General, have you eaten already? If you don’t mind, please take a seat.”
It was just a meal. They could still afford it.
Lu Ye was already dumbfounded by the delicious food. When he suddenly heard Bai Wutong’s clear and moving voice, he looked up as if he had woken up from a dream and was so excited that he wanted to accept the invitation.
Even if he had just eaten, he had to answer that he had not eaten!
The moment he looked up, he saw Chu Tianbao beside Bai Wutong from the corner of his eye. His excited expression suddenly froze as he muttered in disbelief, “Young General...”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked puzzled. Why was Lu Ye calling Chu Tianbao Young General?
Auntie Yang smiled and said, “Our Master Chu is indeed very like a general! ” She thought that Lu Ye had recognized the wrong person.
Bai Wutong lowered her eyes. How could Chu Tianbao, who stood out like a crane among chickens, be mistaken for someone else?
Lu Ye did not know what Auntie Yang was talking about. He only tried to check that he was not seeing things. This was definitely Gu Junyan. He immediately knelt on one knee and bowed excitedly. “Greetings, Young General!”
As soon as these words were spoken, not only were their people stunned, but even the soldiers behind Lu Ye were stunned.
‘Is this the Young General?
It was rumored that the Young General was extremely ugly and wore a mask all day long.
How could this cold man be the Young General!
He was actually not similar to their Marshal Gu at all.
Wait, wasn’t the Young General already dead?
His corpse had been transported to Marshal Gu’s hometown to be buried personally. The emperor of the Ling Kingdom had even specially set up a hero tablet for the young general and conferred him the t.i.tle of Duke Ling. He wanted everyone to remember his outstanding military achievements for the Ling Kingdom. How could he suddenly come back to life!
Could it be that they were in the southern frontier and their news was too outdated?
The soldiers stood there stunned. Lu Ye turned around unhappily and they immediately knelt on one knee like Lu Ye. “Greetings, Young General!”
Deputy General Lu had watched Chu Tianbao grow up, so how could he be wrong?
The soldiers knelt down in unison, their auras vast and mighty. Everyone in Youjia village widened their eyes!
If Chu Tianbao was the young general, wouldn’t he be Marshal Gu’s son?
Didn’t the emperor of the Ling Kingdom announce that he had already sacrificed himself for the country?
What was going on!!!
Chu Tianbao had no memories. He reached out to the soldiers. ‘Get up first! ”
His solemn expression was exactly the same as the young general’s.
That’s right, this must be the Young General!
The Young General was really back!
Lu Ye stood up with the soldiers and said happily to Chu Tianbao, “I’ll get someone to inform the Marshal now! ‘
After knowing his ident.i.ty, Chu Tianbao did not show any excitement. Instead, he looked at Bai Wutong, who was frowning at the side, and held her hand to comfort her.
Bai Wutong did not expect Chu Tianbao’s ident.i.ty to be suddenly exposed. Unprepared, her thoughts raced and she forced a smile. “He should have a lot to say to you. Go ahead. I feel a headache. I’ll go back to the carriage and rest for a while.”
Chu Tianbao gave Bai Wutong s.p.a.ce to calm down and nodded. “Alright, I’ll be back in a while.”
Lu Ye looked at their intimate actions and his mind went blank.
The Young General had suddenly returned and actually brought back a female partner?
His eyes lit up. If Marshal Gu knew, he would definitely be very happy.
After Bai Wutong left, Chu Tianbao looked at her back view and made a glance. The dark guards quietly followed and spread out around the carriage to protect Bai Wutong.
The Youjia villagers looked excited. No one had expected Master Chu, whom they had been with day and night, to be a young general with outstanding military achievements.
Lu Ye was about to ask Chu Tianbao where he had been these days when his stomach suddenly hurt and his face turned pale. “d.a.m.n, why does it hurt so much!”
Not only him, but the soldiers who had just eaten also squatted on the ground and cried out in pain..
