When he turned around, Leng Qingtang saw a grim side face with scars.

"Brother."

The man smiled calmly and respectfully called him.

Gu Di stared at the front, and there were not too many expressions on his uncoordinated face. He put on a sarcastic smile,

"If you don't grab the opportunity or kill Huanan Xin, aren't you going to be afraid of bad things in the future?"

Leng Qingtang looked calm and said,

"Huanan Xin is our nephew, Hua'er's cousin, and Jiyan's Brother. How can I kill him? Isn't the situation good now? He just wants to be the emperor and I just want to live in seclusion. We only mind our own business."

"Hehe."

Gu Di sneered and stared at Leng Qingtang with sharp eyes,

"You've been the Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot for more than ten years, but you're still as kind-hearted as a woman! Do you think he will be content to be an emperor and forget about Yunxi? Yunxi is the Lady Yun he announced to half of Da Yi people!"

"You..."

Leng Qingtang was speechless for a moment and kept silent to avoid looking at him. He was annoyed and his face was slightly red,

"Yunxi and I have been far away from Da Yi's worldly affairs, and we choose to live in seclusion. Brother, there's no need to say more at this time."

Gu Di did not give in and still insisted on his own point of view,

"I'm still worried about you and her..."

"Well, what difference does it make if you say this now?"

Lu Qiange couldn't help shaking his head and broke in to stop the argument between the brothers.

Two girls and Yu Xuanji happened to walk down the corridor. Huanan Jiyan came first and asked the three men in confusion,

"What's the matter with you? Why are you quarreling again?"

Yu Xuanji glared at Gu Di and said fiercely,

"You quarreled on purpose again, didn't you? You want everyone to have a bad mood, don't you?"

Gu Yunxi frowned and walked to Leng Qingtang. She shook his hand and looked worried.

Leng Qingtang smiled gently at her and said,

"Don't worry, we're fine."

After listening to this, the girl was a little happy and said,

"I'll cook dinner later. It's been a long time since I cooked. I want you all to taste my cooking"

Huanan Jiyan danced with joy,

"Great, we are so lucky to eat the dishes made by chef Yunxi."

Lu Qiange approached with a smile and said,

"There is also a large underground ice cellar in this loft, which was originally used by the Men of Sacrifice of Udan to heal all wounds during armed training. I knew Uncle and Aunt were coming, so I stored some rare ingredients and fresh fish and meat in the ice cellar. You are good at cooking, Aunt. My uncle will have plenty of good food to eat in the future."

The girl was instantly embarrassed by the words of praise, and was not used to the title of "Aunt". She smiled awkwardly, spared her scalp, lowered her head, and replied,

"Thank you, Hua'er."

...

In the twilight, green mountains and green waters were shrouded in red light, forming a beautiful picture.

Thick smoke burst out from a corner of the white loft, and then Huanan Jiyan ran out of the loft and leaned against the wooden pile in front of the corridor to breathe the fresh air.

"Oh, my God, it choked me! Aha..."

Lu Qiange took a big bundle of forage and went into the yard to feed the horse. Seeing that Huanan Jiyan was fumigated and her face was full of unspeakable pain, he threw away the forage and ran to help her beat her back while waving the thick smoke with his arm. He asked urgently,

"What's the matter? Did you fire the loft?"

At this time, Gu Yunxi stumbled out of the corner gate. Her face was also black and looked no better than Huanan Jiyan.

She stooped, stroked her choking chest, and bowed to the Fourth Princess, who looked embarrassed,

"I beg you, don't make trouble for me again, can you?"

...

The girl with disheveled hair on the opposite side was dissatisfied. She muttered discontentedly,

"Hearing you want to show your skills, I'm afraid you need help. I just want to help you."

"Ha-ha, if Yunxi needs an assistant, I'd better come."

Leng Qingtang walked slowly to the corridor, and his smile was like gentle spring water. Gu Yunxi felt his full love.

He looked at several people present and said with a smile,

"As for cooking, if you want to get twice the result with half the effort, the cook and the assistant need to have a tacit understanding between each other."

Huanan Jiyan smiled, casually threw her sleeves, and refuted,

"You're talking nonsense. It's not the integrated cultivation of the immortal family. What's the point of tacit understanding?"

Leng Qingtang cunningly raised his eyebrows, shook his head, and said,

"It's all the same. Haven't you heard a saying that 'work is easier when men and women are working together'?"

"Poof..."

Lu Qiange couldn't stop laughing and said to himself,

“In the past, I had a lot of contacts with the Eastern Depot. How can I never know that my Uncle, this handsome and calm fake eunuch, was sometimes so not serious?"

...

Gu Yunxi was busy in the kitchen all afternoon. She cut vegetables, prepared fillings, cleaned up fish, and used her hands and feet together, like a swift octopus.

Leng Qingtang happily acted as an assistant to help his beloved girl carry water, light up the fire, wash vegetables, and assist her meticulously.

Gu Yunxi was cooking painstakingly in front of the stove.

Although it took them more than 20 days to reach the destination, she didn't feel tired at the moment.

Why?

Just because she wanted her beloved men and partners who accompanied her through life and death to taste her dishes.

With this belief supporting her, she naturally seemed to have been injected with stimulants.

When Leng Qingtang finished his work, he looked up and saw the girl sweating all over her head, so he took out his handkerchief and helped her wipe it gently.

Gu Yunxi thanked him for his consideration and stuffed a piece of marinated meat into his mouth. She watched happily as he chewed contentedly.

After swallowing the meat, Leng Qingtang put his arms around the girl and cordially touched her head with his head.

The cheering in the kitchen attracted someone. The man stopped outside the door and stared at the pair inside. He lowered his head secretly, and the light at the bottom of his eyes was dark and dignified.

As night fell, Lu Qiange and Huanan Jiyan lit candles inside and outside the loft.

In the distance, the shadows of mountains and trees were dark and hazy, and the nearby light was like glass, which made the small building prosperous and transparent.

The dining table was set under the spacious corridor, so that people could enjoy the evening scenery of exotic autumn night while eating and drinking.

When the food and wine were ready, Gu Yunxi called everyone to sit down.

The round table for six was full of cups and dishes.

There were spicy fried frogs, stewed pigeons, stewed wild ducks, fried rabbit meat, fried fish fillets, tofu, sweet and sour eggplant puree, stewed cabbage, fried spring rolls, and crispy cheese.

Huanan Jiyan was lured to the table by the smell of food rushing into her nose. She looked at the food on the table and opened her mouth, looking surprised.

"Wow, my Uncle really found a treasure. Yunxi is beautiful and good at cooking. I'm so jealous!"

She said to herself and reached out to grab the sugar cake on the plate.

As soon as Lu Qiange walked out of the loft with a jar of wine, he saw this scene.

Without saying a word, he rushed over and slapped Huanan Jiyan's hand mercilessly.

The girl cried out and dropped the sugar cake she had just got on the table.

"What are you doing? I've been hungry all afternoon and I'm looking forward to this meal!"

When she couldn't eat dessert and was beaten, Huanan Jiyan was full of grievances. She blew air on the back of her swollen and red hand.

Lu Qiange put down the wine jar, glanced at her, and smiled,

"Good girl, be patient and wait for everyone to eat together."

The girl realized her impoliteness, so she smiled and sat on the chair.

"OK, I'll wait."

As soon as all people were seated, Gu Di picked up a duck leg and put it into Gu Yunxi's plate, smiling and saying,

"Yunxi, thank you for cooking. You should have the first taste of the dinner."

Leng Qingtang was calm and sat quietly aside.

But Yu Xuanji was filled with righteous indignation. He suddenly reached out his chopsticks, threw the duck leg back to Gu Di's plate, and said coldly,

"There's no need for you to do this. She is not disabled and she has a brother. I'll give her the food she wants!"

"Brother!"

Gu Yunxi was embarrassed. She didn't know whether to persuade.

Gu Di was so angry that he threw away his glass,

"Yu Xuanji, mind your own business. Now, do you dare to fight with me for another 500 rounds? If you lose, you need to teach me the Kung Fu named 'Moving Shape and Changing Shadow' that can transfer acupoints all over the body!"

Yu Xuanji smiled coldly,

"Good. You know how I can escape after my acupoint was blocked by Huanan Xin's knife. It's called 'Moving Shape and Changing Shadow' that has been lost for a long time in martial arts. OK, win me first."

In the blink of an eye, he moved over to the middle of the yard.

Gu Di followed.

Huanan Jiyan stood under the porch with her waist crossed and shouted,

"Hey, what are you doing? Are you going to fight again? The wall at the west end of the yard has only been repaired for two days, and it hasn't been dried yet!"

Gu Yunxi was surprised. She looked at two dazzling figures, walking back and forth, and asked,

"Do they always fight like this?"

Lu Qiange put his hand on his forehead and said with a dry smile,

"Fine. No discord no concord. If the wall breaks again, I'll order my men to repair it."
