Chapter 599 She Is the Princess of Qin (7)
During the march, the soldiers ate steamed buns made of cornmeal mixed with white flour. Although it was rough, it was enough to fill their stomachs. Most of the dishes were common vegetables such as boiled cabbage, boiled potatoes and boiled radishes. It was not that the King of Qin treated the soldiers harshly, but that was the food in the army. The soldiers did not think it was bad. Moreover, most of the soldiers were children from poor families. It was good to have enough food. Many soldiers joined the army just because they loved to have enough food.
Eating meat was definitely a luxury for the soldiers. Since they joined the army, they could count the number of times they had eaten meat with one hand, and they drank meat soup. The meat had been boiled, but everyone ate it very deliciously. After all, meat soup was also very rare for them.
"Hey, Sergeant Lu, the King of Qin said that he would improve our food. Could it be that he would just give everyone white rice?"
"What's wrong with white rice? Isn't eating white rice considered improving food? I say, Liu Ergou, when you came to join the army, you were wearing a pair of tattered pants that exposed your buttocks. It's not certain whether you have ever eaten white rice in your life. Why are you pretending to be so picky now?" Sergeant Lu scolded Liu Ergou angrily.
"No, no, I dare not be picky. It's good to have white rice. Just like Sergeant Lu said, I, Liu Ergou, have never eaten white rice, hehe..." Liu Ergou quickly reviewed himself and said with a smile: "I just saw so many big pots and boiled so much water. I didn't know what was going on, so I asked casually." Sergeant Lu scratched his head, "Yes, why did the superiors ask to set up so many big pots for no reason? OK, I'll go ask Zhang Mochang, you wait." Sergeant Lu left happily. The infantry organization of the Great Jin Dynasty is five people in a squad, ten people in a squad, and a hundred people in a squad. The squad has a squad leader, the squad has a squad leader, and the squad has a squad leader, each leading a squad. Sergeant Lu is the team leader of the five-person squad. As Sergeant Lu left, there was a faint sound of pigs screaming from the hillside in the distance, high and low, up and down. The soldiers were very puzzled. Where did the pigs come from? Judging from the sound, there should be a lot of pigs. Who is driving so many pigs on the road so late at night?
Everyone was arguing about justice, and Sergeant Lu suddenly ran over excitedly and shouted to everyone: "I just asked Zhang Mozhang, and Mozhang said that His Royal Highness the King of Qin will give us meat today. Someone will send us pigs later. Everyone will have meat to eat tonight..."
"Oh----Oh----"
The camp cheered, and everyone stretched their necks excitedly, looking at the direction of the pigs roaring, with an impatient look in their eyes.
In the distance, dozens of farmers drove hundreds of pigs slowly over, followed by several carts, which were loaded with some new green vegetables that were not available in the north at this time, including spinach, lettuce, chrysanthemum, rapeseed, and even cucumbers, eggplants, etc.
The soldiers guarding outside the camp saw it and immediately ran into the commander's camp to report. The soldiers also cheered, happier than the New Year!
Not long after, the commander's tent was opened, and the King of Qin Nangong Yi, wearing a red battle robe and silver armor, walked out with a dragon-like step and a tiger's step. Amid the cheers of the crowd, he ran straight outside the camp.
"Oh----Oh----"
The soldiers cheered, watching the fat group of pigs getting closer and closer, and everyone's saliva flowed out.
Suddenly, the King of Qin, who was standing at the gate of the camp, suddenly flew into the air and flew towards a canopy carriage. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the fiery red battle robe was like a burning fire. In a blink of an eye, it fell on the shaft of the canopy carriage and flashed into the carriage.
Caiwei sat in the carriage, looking at the excited soldiers outside with a knowing smile on her face. While she was smiling, she saw Nangong Yi suddenly breaking in, so she smiled mischievously: "Your Highness the King of Qin, are you satisfied with the gift I presented to you?"
Nangong Yi took Caiwei's hand and looked at Caiwei silently for a long time, which made Caiwei puzzled.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" Caiwei touched her face and wanted to find a mirror to look at it.
Nangong Yi said faintly, "Wei'er has always been so beautiful, there is nothing wrong with it!"
"Why are you staring at me there? It's so confusing!" Caiwei said angrily.
"I was thinking, with such a wife, what else can a husband ask for?"
Nangong Yi suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Caiwei into his arms.
...
"Ah----Ah----"
Outside the car, the fat pigs howled in a way that ruined the mood. Caiwei laughed and pulled herself out of his arms, saying: "Don't be sentimental. Everyone is greedy. Hurry up and order the pigs to be slaughtered!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, my wife!"
Nangong Yi took Caiwei's hand and led her out of the car. They stood side by side on the shaft of the car, waved his hand, and shouted: "Start killing----"
Immediately, the camp exploded.
The soldiers caught pigs, sharpened knives, and boiled water. The fat pigs fled desperately and screamed. The cries of hundreds of fat pigs resounded over the sky of the camp...
It was not easy to eat meat, so the soldiers did not waste the hard-earned fat pigs. They collected the pig blood in a large basin and made delicious blood sausage. The pork skin was also cleaned and cut into pieces together with the pork, and put into the big pot to cook... After putting the pork into the pot, the soldiers talked excitedly, waiting for the pork to be cooked so that they could enjoy a feast.
At this time, a new soldier saw Caiwei standing side by side with the King of Qin, and shouted loudly without knowing the sky and the earth: "May I ask your Highness, who is the lady next to your Highness?"
When everyone heard this, they were all worried for this ignorant young man. It should be known that there is a difference between the superior and the inferior. How dare a soldier ask about the commander's private affairs so presumptuously!
Moreover, this girl is extremely beautiful. At first glance, it is known that she is a confidante, concubine, or something like that. It is not easy to say it out loud.
Then, the King of Qin did not feel angry at all. Instead, he smiled calmly, took Caiwei's shoulder, and said loudly: "This is my King Qin's Concubine. Today, she came specially to reward everyone on my behalf. The pork you eat tonight is bought by the princess with her own private money!"
"Wow----"
Everyone was in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
"The Princess of Qin is truly beautiful. I'm afraid there's no one more beautiful than her in this world!"
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin is also as handsome as Pan An. He and the Princess of Qin are a perfect match!"
"By the way, the Princess of Qin's surname is Li, right? I heard a few years ago that His Majesty intends to marry the eldest daughter of the general who protects the country to the Prince of Qin. I guess this is her..."
Nangong Yi has very good hearing. He heard what the soldiers were talking about. He immediately came out to clarify: "My Princess' surname is Mu, not Li. Don't make the mistake!"
