Chapter 79 Come to me?

There is no trace of heat in northern Xinjiang in midsummer.

The tops of the towering snow-capped mountains are covered with white snow, like a white world.

The midsummer sun shines on the snow-capped mountains, reflecting a dazzling light, like a huge diamond set in the earth.

At the foot of the mountain is a lush forest with tall and dense trees. Various wild flowers bloom in the forest, exuding a charming fragrance.The breeze blows and the leaves rustle, giving people a cool and pleasant feeling.

On the grass, a group of lovely cows and sheep are running, eating green grass freely. The shepherds are lying on the grass enjoying the quiet time.It was peaceful, and it didn't look like there was a war at all.

"Master!" Qin Wu, the leader of the team, suggested, "We can reach it just by bypassing the snow-capped mountains. The Qi army is in the northwest of the snow-capped mountains. General Tianxuan's camp is also in the northwest. Further ahead is the war zone. Master, it's better to work hard all the way. Let’s rest for half a day and let’s go explore the battle situation.”

It was his first time to travel far away and he had to travel day and night. Kang Shaohua was indeed extremely sleepy: "Okay! Let's all rest here and go again tomorrow!"

A tent was set up on the spot and a pot was buried to boil water for cooking.

Chef Li and Li Qiu, who were serving personally, spread the tent's floor mat thickly together: "Master, please take a moment and let's go cook."

Li Qiu was only 11 years old, still a half-grown child. Ruyi had not arranged for her originally, but she and Chef Li secretly followed her out of the city.

Kang Shaohua originally wanted her to go back, but Li Qiu hugged Kang Shaohua and cried non-stop. Cook Li also kept saying that her family had suffered such a big crime just to find Master Li Xiang.Anxious to leave, Kang Shaohua took his mother and daughter with him.

Chef Li is a master of cooking. Although the meals along the way were simple, they were all excellent.

Kang Shaohua did not refuse. He only left a small gap in the tent, then lay down and closed his eyes to rest.

What was the purpose of running out in such a hurry?
Kang Shaohua thought about this issue repeatedly along the way.

Maybe it was to meet Qi Xiao or to confirm the situation in Northern Xinjiang.

According to Ruyi's message, her palace maid, Cai Lian, had already left for the south, and she could only stay in northern Xinjiang for three to five days at most.

Kang Shaohua closed his eyes, but he could still feel the bright light outside the tent. Suddenly, his eyesight dimmed, and something blocked the sunlight. After a moment, the shadow moved away again.

Kang Shaohua didn't pay attention and continued to squint.

After a while, the strong aroma of the food drifted over with the wind.

"Master!" Li Qiu whispered outside the tent, "The food is ready. Eat some before going to sleep."

Kang Shaohua opened the tent door and saw Li Qiuhong approaching with a flushed face: "Master, someone is coming."

What Ruyi arranged for her was a small medicinal caravan of more than [-] people. Except for Chef Li and her daughter, the others were all masters.

This trip was impromptu and confidential. Who would come looking for her?
On the green ground, two large pots were steaming.

Half of the people were sitting on the ground around the tent, and the other half were eating and drinking around the big pot.

"That!" Li Qiu pointed, "That's the ghost."

Perhaps realizing that he had made a mistake, Li Qiu quickly changed his words and said: "It's the one in the coffin. They wanted to make acquaintance through it. So I gave it to them."

Kang Shaohua came out of the tent and saw two dark figures busy beside the smaller pot on the right after crossing the crowd.

One was lighting the fire and the other was in charge of the pot. Chef Li stood aside and couldn't help but direct.

The man in charge of the pot was bent over, his sleeves rolled up high, and he was staring at the pot with all his concentration. The sunlight formed a colorful halo on him, which was dazzling and charming.

Is she dreaming?
Kang Shaohua silently pinched the back of his hand, it hurt.

Kang Shaohua walked over quickly.

Jincao quickly covered the pot lid and smiled at Chef Li: "Thank you, thank you very much."

When Chef Li saw Kang Shaohua coming over, she quickly said, "Master." "Ah!" Jin Cao turned around and glanced at her in surprise: "You are a good cook!"

She was wearing men's clothes and even changed her appearance. Did Jincao not recognize her?

No, he recognized both Chef Li and Li Qiu, but he just didn't expose her.

I thought Qi Xiao had already gone to the front of the formation, but I didn't expect to meet here.

Kang Shaohua lowered his head and looked at the golden millet porridge in the pot, then glanced at Jincao, and said to Chef Li: "Aunt Li, you can't borrow this pot for free!"

Jincao's eyes were bright and he smiled: "You will share half of the porridge!"

Kang Shaohua said nothing.

"We have already been there, why don't we tell you about the situation there!"

She really wanted to hear it, but remembering Jincao's appearance when he left and his words about the indefinite meeting, she became angry: "No need!"

"Then make an offer!"

Kang Shaohua ignored him and turned to Chef Li: "Aunt Li, let's go over there to eat!"

"Okay!" Chef Li and Li Qiu carried away the temporary table and the food.

The three of them walked away, Jincao slowly opened the lid of the pot and said to the wind that was lighting the fire, "It's almost done, lower the fire."

"The master's temper is not very good! When did you know each other?" Gale squinted his eyes and watched from a distance the little shopkeeper in silk clothes and the cook and his daughter eating at the same table.The little shopkeeper's dark face makes him not easy to get along with at first glance.

The two of them galloped all the way to Northern Xinjiang. They only made a few laps in front of the formation. They didn't go anywhere and came here to bask in the sun.

When he woke up, he saw this small caravan. Jincao saw the cook cooking and rushed over with him to borrow the pot.

At first, Gao Feng thought that Jin Cao was extremely hungry when he saw Jin Cao being so attentive to the half-aged cook.But I just ate game last night, so I'm not so hungry.

The cook, mother and daughter were quite enthusiastic towards them, but they seemed to have a grudge against their master.

Jincao didn't seem to hear anything, and only looked at the three of them from a distance with his eyes.

"Look at the pot!" Jincao ordered in a low voice, "Just put out the fire and cover it up. I'll borrow some bowls and chopsticks!"

Aren’t the bowls and chopsticks ready-made?

Before Gale could say anything, he saw Jincao striding towards the three of them.

Jincao sat on the grass beside the small table and looked at Kang Shaohua with one hand on his chin: "The fighting hasn't started yet! Both sides are testing! There is a high possibility of making peace."

Kang Shaohua ignored him and continued eating.

"I heard that you are getting married!" Jincao changed his posture and plucked a small wild flower and waved it in his hand, "You should be in the south at the moment. Why are you running away from the marriage?"

Kang Shaohua still ignored him and gulped down the soup.

Chef Li took Li Qiu and left silently.

Jincao sat down on the pony and smiled at Kang Shaohua: "How about... come to me?"

Kang Shaohua finished the soup in one breath, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and raised his eyes to look at Jincao.

In the bright sunshine, Jin Cao's face was so gorgeous that it was a bit dazzling.
