The Widowed Mother, a Valiant General

Lieutenant Feng Yi also listened to Lu Qing's suggestions. He and his men made some fishing nets and rafts, and every day, they would go to the Shu Le River to fish naked carps that were too lazy to move.

Now they were not lacking in salt, and Luqing suggested that they make more salted fish, which could be saved and eaten whenever they wanted to. At any rate, it could be considered a dish.

Besides, the naked carp in the Shu Le River was truly delicious. It grew a jin of meat every ten years, and its meat was extremely tender and tender, without any scales!

Luqing only hated that the chilli peppers were still on the American continent, or else he would have drooled just thinking about them.

Seeing that Lu Qing was suddenly lost in thought while eating, Yu Mingchuan stretched out a finger and wiped the rice grains at the corner of her mouth.

"Madam, what are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed in her thoughts?"

"Chili Pepper." Lu Qing blurted out in surprise, and only after he saw Yu Mingchuan's probing gaze did he realize that he had been exposed.

"Food?"

"Yeah, it's just that we don't have any here." Lu Qing said honestly.

"Speaking of which, you still haven't told me where you came from." Yu Mingchuan then picked up two pieces of mushroom and ate them. His wife was too special, the things in her head were definitely not from the Central Plains. In fact, even those people from the Western Regions knew about it.

"I've already told you. You must protect me. A genius like me, if I am discovered, you won't even be able to hide from me."

"You are my wife, so of course I have to protect you. Tell me what kind of talent you have."

After eating two more mouthfuls of rice, Lu Qing organized his thoughts and decided to first talk to Yu Mingchuan about the coal. Seeing that it was getting colder and colder, they had little charcoal left.

"I remember there was something on the northern side of Mount Qilian …"

The door was knocked.

Lu Qing quickly shut his mouth.

"Young General."

A cold voice came from outside the door and Yu Mingchuan entered.

The door opened, revealing a man covered in snow. His eyebrows and beard were all stained with snow. However, from his face, it was clear that he was a young man.

A young man who was like an unsheathed sword.

That person was standing at the doorway, looking at Lu Qing and then at Yu Mingchuan. He didn't come in.

Lu Qing looked at Yu Mingchuan doubtfully. What was the meaning of this? He wanted her to retreat? Alright, Lu Qing tactfully moved his butt. Just as he was about to stand up, Yu Mingchuan pulled him down.

"Huo Jing, come in and talk." Glimmers danced in Yu Mingchuan's eyes as the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile.

Huo Jing glanced at Lu Qing again before shaking off the snow on his body. He walked in and closed the door.

"If you have any news, feel free to speak of it. There's no need to avoid Madam." As he said this, Yu Mingchuan gave Lu Qing some more dishes. Recently, the little girl had been eating a lot and seemed to have gotten more fleshy than before. The feeling on her hands was getting better and better.

"Young General, White Water Village has been turned into a piece of white ground by the people of Qiang. Furthermore, the people from Shi Le's village have also been there."

Hearing this, Lu Qing suddenly couldn't eat anymore. She had been exposed, and it was all over.

To be targeted by Shi Le, that was definitely a dead end. Shi Le was a well-known figure in history and was much more scheming than Shi Hu.

Feeling Lu Qing's body slightly trembling, Yu Mingchuan grabbed onto one of her hands and opened up the knuckles that were tightly clenched and buckled them into hers.

"Alright, you can go down first. From now on, you don't need to investigate any further. Just stay here and guard the madame."

Huo Jing cupped his fists in salute, then stole another glance at Lu Qing before retreating.

As soon as the watchman's door closed, Lu Qing put down his chopsticks and grabbed Yu Mingchuan's hand.

"What should I do?" She really was panicking.

Yu Mingchuan moved closer to Lu Qing and pulled her into his embrace. "Lu Qing, I've said that I will protect you, so I won't go back on my words. They won't find me here soon, so don't be afraid."
