Chapter 1747 You Eat Dumplings, I Eat the Leg of Lamb

Muchen glanced inside the tent.

It was so deserted that there wasn't even a charcoal pot, let alone something to cook with.

He turned around and went out, carrying a bucket of water, a small red clay stove, a pot, and a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Master, you cook the dumplings yourself, I'll go down and get busy."

"Go ahead."

Not long after Muchen went out, he came over with a small bowl and said with a smile: "Master, how can you eat dumplings without being jealous?"

Zhao Shu glanced at it and said, "You know I never like the sour taste of vinegar."

"Eating dumplings is different." Muchen put down the bowl and asked secretly, "Master, how long has it been since you had dumplings?"

"Where do you get all this nonsense?"

"Hey, I'm going out now."

Muchen went out happily.

Zhao Shu poured some water into the pot, put it on the small stove, took a book, and sat by the stove to read.

The water gradually boils.

Zhao Shu put down the book and threw the dumplings in one by one.

The hard dumplings fell into the boiling water and quickly became soft.

As the water boils again, the dumplings slowly float to the surface.

Like little white and fat pillows.

Zhao Shu picked up the chopsticks and poked at it.

The dumplings sank and floated up again.

He seemed to find it interesting and poked each dumpling again and again with his chopsticks.

When Muchen came in, this was what he saw.

He observed silently for a while and determined that the prince was just playing, so he couldn't help but say: "Well, sir, this dumpling is already cooked. If you poke it again, it will rot."

Zhao Shu glanced at him, put down his chopsticks, scooped up all the dumplings into a bowl, and said, "Come over and eat together."

"This subordinate won't eat any more. There are so many dumplings in total... These are the dumplings sent by the Queen. How can this subordinate eat them?" Muchen put down a plate of meat and said, "The roast lamb is being cooked outside, and this subordinate is still working hard." Go ahead and nibble on the leg of lamb.”

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

After Zhao Shu ate it, he discovered that these dozens of dumplings had six or seven different fillings.

Every time I eat one, it's a surprise.

Before I knew it, I had finished eating.

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, although there was heavy snow and the moon could not be seen in the sky, the soldiers lived very happily.

The next day, Muchen sent news that there was news from Dazhou that the Northern Qi King Xiao Ziliang had set off from Dazhou with his princess and dozens of officials from Dazhou on the sixth day of the lunar month.

Muchen said: "In this case, they will be here in about a month."

Zhao Shu said: "Since Xiao Ziliang left Northern Qi, how many wars have we fought?"

"The prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty rebelled three times and Jiuli once."

"I hope things here can be settled before they arrive." Zhao Shu said, "Once I'm not here, it's hard to say whether the Jiuli tribe will make other moves."

Mu Chen was also a little worried after hearing this: "Then Ji Wenyuan's army is elusive and behaves strangely. Except for you, the prince, you can restrain him, but no one else can. Your prince, we should stay for a while longer."

Zhao Shu glanced at him and said, "Why, do you want to resist the decree?"

Muchen remained silent.

According to the emperor's decree, as soon as the general who succeeded him arrived, he had to pack up and return to Zhou Dynasty immediately.

Muchen sighed and said quietly: "There is no emperor in history who can safely leave the general outside."

"Don't discuss these matters unreasonably." Zhao Shu stood up, "Instead of worrying, it is better to resolve the matter before going back."

At this time, a soldier rushed in, knelt on one knee and said: "General, we are under attack!"
