Chapter 622 Hongmen Banquet
Xia Yunji thought suspiciously for a long time, and compared it with the scene when he ate the braised rabbit meat made by Xia Mingyue at home for a long time, and finally found the key point.
It should be because of people...
There was a lot of excitement when eating braised rabbit meat at home, especially when he and Madam Fan hunted the rabbit together. Because of the competition, the sense of accomplishment seemed to be stronger.
And there were a lot of people gathered at the table at that time. There were more people than now, and they were more leisurely and comfortable.
Xia Yunji found out the reason and suddenly became enlightened.
Just talking about hunting rabbits with Lady Fan...
I heard from my sister that Lady Fan had returned to the capital a few days ago. So when he goes to the capital this time, he will probably be able to meet Lady Fan again?
When the time comes to meet, I must find another opportunity to have a good discussion with Lady Fan.
After all, he has learned a new set of boxing skills from his brother-in-law during this period, and even his riding and shooting skills have improved to a higher level. He needs to let Mrs. Fan take a good look at it.
However, Mrs. Fan has a distinguished status. After returning to the capital, she will be the legitimate daughter of the Fan family who is respected by everyone. I don’t know if they will be able to meet smoothly...
Xia Yunji was thinking about this, his thoughts drifted a little far, his eating movements stopped, and his eyes became vacant and lifeless.
"What are Yunji thinking about?" Xia Mingyue added another chopstick dish to Xia Yunji's bowl.
In addition to braised rabbit meat, Captain Wan was thinking that Xia Mingyue and others might like lighter meals, so he found some very fresh winter spinach in the kitchen of the inn and made a light and delicious spinach tofu.
Winter spinach grows slowly under the cold wind in winter, and its leaves are much smaller than spinach in spring and autumn. But because of this, the leaves of winter spinach are thick, tender, and full of fragrance.
Although the tofu is not as tender and delicious as the tofu made in Wufu Workshop, it is better than freshness. The beany taste of the tofu itself is removed before cooking, making it extremely delicious to eat.
Xia Yunji was brought back from his thoughts by Xia Mingyue, and he chuckled, "I didn't think about anything, I just thought that the braised rabbit meat tasted good today. I wonder if I will have good luck tomorrow. I'll go back to the wild and try it again."
"Tomorrow we will pass through a mountain forest. There is a mountain col next to it. There are probably more wild animals, so we should be able to harvest something." Lu Qiyan said with a smile, "But there are probably more small items like birds and pheasants."
"Mosquito legs are also meat, and the most important thing is that they are delicious." Xia Yunji said with great interest, "Let me clean my bow and sharpen my arrows tonight, and I will return home with a full load tomorrow."
"Then you need to eat enough." Xia Mingyue smiled and continued to put some food for Xia Yunji.
Just when a family of three was having a meal happily around the table, the servants cupped their hands outside the door and said, "Commander Lu, Commander Xia."
"What's the matter?"
"General Tao of Jin Wei State came to invite Commander Lu and Commander Xia to come over. He said that he had just roasted a lamb and got a jar of fine wine. Please come and have a drink."
After the people below said this, Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji looked at each other.
It would be very common sense for Li Juncheng to invite the two of them to eat meat and drink wine, but this General Tao...
General Tao Ankang has been following Li Juncheng since he personally led people to the military camp to report that the leader of the Jin Wei Kingdom wanted peace talks.
But unlike Li Juncheng's sincere and friendly attitude, Tao Ankang acted like a fighting cock anytime and anywhere, he just wanted to eat them all alive, his hostility was very obvious.
Invite them over now...
A Hongmen Banquet!
The purpose is impure and the motive is unclear, even like the Hongmen Banquet, I have to go. Lu Qiyan paused, "Send someone to reply. Yunji and I will be there shortly."
"Yes."
The people below accepted the order and left. Xia Yunji smiled and said, "This Tao Ankang, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"
"I don't know, but it's easy to know."
"How to say?"
"Just smash the gourd open." Lu Qiyan said it very easily.
Xia Yunji smiled and straightened up even more.
This is the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom. No matter you are a peace envoy, even if the two countries are at war, you will not kill the envoy, but you can pluck out the thorns all over the envoy.
The two laughed secretly, and Xia Mingyue only warned, "You should also be careful."
"Don't worry, Madam." Lu Qiyan squeezed Xia Mingyue's little hand and scooped out a bowl of egg drop soup for her. "Madam, eat slowly. We'll come as soon as we go. If Madam is not sleepy, you can go to bed later and wait for me." Come back and give me a speech.”
"Okay." Xia Mingyue agreed with a smile.

Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji got up together and went to another courtyard of the inn.
Compared with this time, most of the courtyards where Lu Qiyan and others lived were beginning to rest. At this time, many soldiers of the Jin Wei Kingdom were drinking and eating meat. A bonfire in the middle was burning brightly, and the lambs were rolling and roasting on it. There is a hint of oil, salt and aroma.
Li Juncheng and Tao Ankang were sitting not far from the bonfire, each having his own meal and not communicating with each other. They even looked a little unhappy.
Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji saw clearly and went to meet Li Juncheng first and exchange pleasantries.
"Commander Lu and Commander Xia arrived just in time. The lamb has just been roasted. It is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The meat is fresh and tender and ready to eat..."
Before Li Juncheng finished speaking, Tao Ankang on the side shouted at the top of his voice, "This lamb is delicious, but it is not something you can eat casually."
Lu Qiyan smiled and said, "I don't know what the rules are. I would like to ask General Tao to clarify."
"We in the Kingdom of Jinwei have simple ideas. We don't have as many rules as your Zhou Kingdom. We usually don't have such a deep hierarchy between our generals and soldiers. They are all very equal."
Tao Ankang glanced at Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji and said, "Especially when the bonfire is lit, everyone is equal. No matter how high the status is, or how humble the status is, as long as they can win in the fist fight, If you win the first prize, you can get this whole roasted lamb.”
"I don't know, Commander Xia, are you interested in giving it a try?"
The invitation to Xia Yunji was openly issued with a very clear purpose.
It seems that it was his hunting today that made Tao Ankang dissatisfied?
Fortunately, he hadn't been on the battlefield for a while and felt very boring. Now that he had the opportunity to show off his skills, he couldn't miss it.
"I'm very happy." Xia Yunji bowed his hand.
act recklessly!
Tao Ankang twitched his lips.
This scene fell in Lu Qiyan's eyes, and he turned slightly sideways, "Be careful."
"Don't worry, brother-in-law." Xia Yunji raised his chin, "Brother-in-law doesn't know me even tenth of the time."
