Chapter 276 Family
On this day, in Jinguan City.
In the market, the Ninth Mountain lavishly rewarded and provided pensions to the soldiers, which attracted unanimous praise from the people and aroused their enthusiasm for supporting the army.
Among the noble families, several were furious when they returned from the Yun family. However, before long, news came that the Garrison Department suddenly arrested important members of their families, mainly the younger generation of the direct descendants of several families, and brought up old scores. By the time the families reacted, the people had already been locked up in the Garrison Department's prison.
Several families were startled and immediately stopped their actions.
The most exciting thing is that someone was released by Jiu Zhonglang. It was from the Sihai Sect who went to the Yun family together. It was rumored that they reached some kind of agreement.
For a while, the rumors from the Yun family spread among all the noble families in Jinguan City. The lord wanted the noble families to obey him, so he asked the third son of the Yun family, the former captain of the Ninth Mountain and now the General of Cavalry, to pass on the message. Those families refused and were retaliated against.
Many noble families felt insecure and had complaints about the Sihai Sect, which they despised.
But at the same time, the Yun family received great rewards and was promoted to become the new nobles of Jinguan City, which also made many families interested, especially those second- and third-rate families.
It seems that it would not be a bad idea to hold on to the thigh of the Ninth Mountain.
At dusk that day, the Ninth Zhonglang Palace stood on the ninth peak of Yunding Mountain.
There is a side hall, a small bridge, flowing water, and the glow of the sunset. Behind the covered bridge, after a few turns, there is a side courtyard.
At this time, there was a wisp of smoke rising above the side courtyard, and in the yard, there was the sound of "thump thump thump" of a knife cutting a vegetable board.
In the haze of dusk, everything here seems to be separated from all the noise and chaos of the outside world.
Looking into the yard, I saw several figures lying on the door frame at the door of a tile-roofed house with smoke rising, looking inside carefully.
There was a cook wearing a gray cloth skirt with traces of time on her face, and there was a maid wearing a pink and white maid's uniform.
Several people had conflicting expressions of awe and intense curiosity on their faces.
Following their line of sight, I saw a kitchen inside. There was a fire rising in the stove and hot oil sizzling in the pot.
In front of the chopping board, there was a figure in green clothes, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. One hand was holding a kitchen knife, cutting a piece of golden meat. The unique rhythm of the cutting on the chopping board sounded very skillful.
After cutting, the knife blade cuts the golden and fragrant meat slices, throws them into the stove on the side, starts stir-frying, and then adds water.
After finishing, he ran to another stove and lifted the lid of a yellow clay pot. There was a gurgling sound inside, as if something was stewing. The mist that came out when the lid was lifted was also filled with a hazy light.
Amidst the steam, Abyss's profile appeared. He picked up the soup spoon, scooped a spoonful of golden soup from the earthenware jar, put it to his mouth and took a sip, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then nodded.
Then he put the lid back on and ran to another stove to continue working.
Outside the door, several cooks and maids looked at the busy figure at the kitchen stove with their mouths wide open, feeling that it was a little unreal.
The general, who was feared like a tiger outside and had great magical powers and had killed countless demons, now drove them out and was busy at the kitchen stove with skill.
This huge contrast made them feel unreal, as if this great general from the Ninth Mountain was also a mortal.
At this moment, the strange aroma coming from the kitchen made their throats roll.
smell good!
The ingredients used by the general must be unusual, even the mist coming out of it is glowing.
About half a cup of tea later,
Chen Yuan finished work.
When I turned around, the head behind the door frame, like a mole, quickly shrank back.
Chen Yuan smiled but didn't point it out. He flicked his sleeves and put several steaming and fragrant dishes into his sleeves.
Then, his body shook and disappeared on the spot.
After a dozen breaths, Chen Yuan appeared in front of the room in the west wing of the villa halfway up the mountain at Yunding Peak.
With a tap of his finger, the door opened and he walked in.
In the room, the princess from the Western Regions was standing in front of the window opposite, looking out. There was a thin layer of golden light outside, but from here, one could see the scenery of Genting Mountain.
In the setting sun, there is a waterfall hanging, dyeing the water mist into broken gold. Above the water mist, there is a rainbow hanging bridge, and occasionally, a few cranes fly over it.
When Chen Yuan saw this scene, he felt a throbbing sensation in his heart.
From now on, he will have concerns! This will be his weakness, his soft spot, but from now on, his soul will have a fresh taste.
Hearing the noise, Ange turned around, his expression a little unnatural, but his eyes were more peaceful and calm than before.
"When are you going to let me go?"
Chen Yuan paused as he entered, then walked to the table in the room and gestured.
"In such a hurry to leave?"
"Sit first!"
Ange raised her hand to smooth her hair, walked over, her lake-like blue eyes twinkled, and said as calmly as possible,
"Since you are still alive and kicking, I should leave now. My tribesmen must still be anxiously looking for me."
"You ran away secretly?" Chen Yuan said this and laughed.
Ange avoided his gaze and sat down, saying in an unhappy tone, "Your smile makes you look very proud, I don't like it."
Chen Yuan shook his head. It was really difficult to coax a woman. He was not good at it in his past life or this life.
I could only raise my hand and wave my sleeves.
Suddenly, four dishes were placed on the table, and the aroma wafted into the air.
"Try it, I made it."
As he spoke, he introduced them with a feeling of joy and nostalgia.
“These are all dishes from my hometown.”
“This is boiled pork slices.”
"This is the ultimate version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall,"
“This is braised pork”
"."
Ange's lake-like eyes looked at the dishes that looked and smelled great, and she seemed a little dazed.
This great general actually cooked the meal himself.
She stretched out her chopsticks and tasted it first: boiled pork slices.
Then he nodded and said two words reservedly.
"good."
Then, the Western woman used her chopsticks to taste several other dishes, and slowly, she used her chopsticks more and more frequently.
Ever since she found out she was pregnant, she became particularly hungry easily, and the little one she was carrying seemed like a bottomless pit.
Now, encountering this kind of delicious dish made entirely of spiritual materials and the flesh and blood of demons, one's appetite is naturally aroused.
Chen Yuan was smiling as he watched, and his hands were moving to help Ange pick up the dishes.
"Eat it!"
At first Ange was still a little uncomfortable, but after feeling the meaning of what Chen Yuan said, it gradually became natural.
Chen Yuan felt this rare peace.
I had already planned in my mind that after this brief reunion, I would send her and the baby in her belly away.
Jinguan City is not a place to stay for long, Ange has to leave this vortex.
In this way, I will have nothing to worry about!!!
