The Emperor is Above

Chapter 72 Following the Master is to See the World

Qing Yi and Gongsun Wu had only known each other for two days, but they could be described as friends who shared life and death.

Especially now that Gongsun Wu is seriously injured and everyone is trapped in the Zuo Shi camp, we must at least inform Gongsun Wu of his mother's current condition.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Qing Yi stamped his feet and said, "No, I still have to trouble Brother Ran You to send someone to bring my aunt over, so that no one of Zuo Gongyu's family members escapes and is retaliated."

Hearing Qing Yi's request, Ran You grinned and laughed: "Hahaha, brother has already sent a few brothers to pick them up. They should be arriving at our Zuo Division camp by now. Let's go to the gate to greet them now!"

Following Ran You to the entrance of the camp, he saw ten soldiers from the Left Division surrounding a carriage. In the carriage, Jiang Ji was wearing a veil hat, sitting quietly without any panic.

Qing Yi stepped forward with a full of apology and bowed, saying: "I am sorry to have frightened and worried you, Brother Gongsun is injured and still sleeping, but he should be able to recover by tomorrow. I will trouble you to stay at the Zuoshi camp for the next few days."

When Jiang Ji came on the way, she had already roughly understood the cause of the matter and had no intention of blaming anyone.

Her face was calm, but her eyes were a little complicated. She said in a pleasant voice, "Even if you are sitting at home, disasters can come from the sky. How can you be blamed for this? Take me to see Xiao Wu first."

Gongsun Wu was still in a coma, and Xizi, Huaimu and other young men took turns to take care of him. After taking elixirs internally and applying them externally, his originally pale face became somewhat rosy and his breathing became very steady.

"It turns out to be a seventh-grade spiritual ointment made from twelve kinds of spiritual herbs: old stork medicine, white gentian, and Mars grass!"

Jiang Ji only sniffed it and identified the ingredients of the ointment. She realized how precious it was and immediately thanked Ran You, "You two really put in so much effort."

Qing Yi's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly, "Auntie, you were able to identify the twelve kinds of spiritual herbs in this spiritual ointment just by sniffing it. Could it be that you also know something about pharmacists?"

Jiang Ji forced a smile and said, "I have been sick since I was young. In the early years, I had to take a lot of medicine every day. I became a good doctor after being sick for a long time. I don't know much about pharmacists."

Seeing that she looked unhappy and didn't seem to want to talk about it anymore, Qing Yi didn't want to force her to ask any more, as it might involve the private matters that happened in Wei State back then.

Ran You, on the other hand, looked at Jiang Ji with his eyes wide open. When he heard Jiang Ji's thanks, he scratched his head and smiled naively, saying, "There's nothing to thank me for. It's just the medicine that our Brother Zuo often uses for injuries."

Afterwards, Jiang Ji stayed in Gongsun Wu's room so that she could be taken care of at any time. Even if others took good care of her, as a mother, she would rather trust herself.

Ran You showed a mouthful of white teeth on his dark face, and greeted Qing Yi enthusiastically: "The vanguard battalion followed Huo Yunyaqing to the border town in the north, and it is estimated that they will not be back within half a year. Here are the rows of barracks for you to choose from."

By the time everyone had chosen their rooms and arranged everything, it was already evening.

Just when he felt a little hungry, Zi Che Zhong Xing came over happily, shouting, "Brother Qing Yi, Captain Ran You asked me to treat you to a meal!

You will never guess what we are having for dinner tonight, so I will keep you in suspense. Haha, brothers, it’s time to eat, let’s go!”

After finding out that Ran You had specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare special meals for Gongsun Wu and Jiang Ji, Qing Yi felt at ease and brought more than 30 people including Tun Shigu, Chai Yong, and Daniu to Zuo Shi's super-large canteen.

Seeing more than 30 stone pots with a diameter of more than four feet, emitting billowing steam and the large pieces of meat inside emitting a rich aroma, Qing Yi couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "It's actually a stone hot pot!"

"Hey, Brother Qingyi, we ate your stone hotpot in the snow a few years ago, and we brothers have never forgotten it."

Ran You enthusiastically arranged for Qing Yi, Tu Shigu, Daniu, and Chai Yong to sit down, and said loudly to the soldiers of the left division, "Everyone should sit in different positions with the brothers in Huaiqiu. We must make them feel like they are at home."

"Don't worry, Captain. We will definitely take good care of the brothers in Huaiqiuli!" Hundreds of soldiers from the Left Division shouted at the same time, and each of them surrounded a few Huaiqiuli militiamen and Tuan family servants and sat down with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

When Qing Yi was relieved and sat down, Ran You carried a huge wine jar and poured wine for everyone while introducing the dishes:

“Since we transported the Ghost King’s claws back to the capital a few years ago, my brother and his brothers have jointly opened a stone pot restaurant in the lower city and the middle city.

Many of the injured and disabled Zuo brothers have become shareholders, and the store is run by the family members of the Zuo brothers. We have made a lot of profit this winter, and we have to thank you, brother."

Speaking of the business of Shi Hotpot Restaurant, the excited Ran You, Zi Che Zhongxing and others brought full bowls of rice wine, clinked glasses with Qing Yi and drank the whole bowl neatly.

After a few bowls of rice wine, the atmosphere quickly became more lively.

Qing Yi could see that this dinner was prepared with great care. In addition to the top-quality beef and mutton, the meat in the stone pot also included fresh mushrooms and seasonal vegetables that were hard to find in spring. These vegetables were much more expensive than meat in spring.

Even the soup base is made from carefully cooked bones of exotic animals. I don’t know if anything was added to the soup, but there’s a faint spiritual aura in it.

After just one sip of the soup, Qing Yi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother Ran You, you didn't put some magical medicine in the bottom of the pot, this dinner is too expensive."

"Hahaha!"

Ran You, Zi Che Zhong Xing and other officers of the left division could not help but burst into laughter.

Ran You smiled and explained: "Brother, you may not know that there is a magical peach blossom fish in the Peach Blossom Cave, five miles south of the capital.

This fish is not big, but it contains very warm and nourishing spiritual energy. Whether it is cooked and eaten, or used to make soup, it is very nourishing. Many of you are injured today. Drink a few bowls of this fish soup and you will be fine tomorrow."

On the way here, I heard Tu Shigu talk about peach blossom fish. Even the crocodiles in Jiming Lake were attracted to hunt near the capital. Now after tasting it, it is indeed extraordinary.

"Hululu——"

While Qing Yi was talking to Ran You, Tun Shigu had already discovered the benefits of the soup. He didn't even bother to say anything and drank several bowls of it in big gulps, making his already round belly even rounder.

Chai Yong and Daniu opened their eyes wide and never put down their chopsticks.

Especially when Daniu was eating, he kept muttering: "Following the master means seeing the world. Not only did we have two fights with the Blood Wolf Tribe on the way.

After a large-scale fight in the capital, he was not punished. Even though he was imprisoned in the camp of the Left Division, he was treated to such a delicious stone hot pot. "

Not only did Daniu sigh with emotion, but Jiang Ji, who stayed behind to take care of Gongsun Wu, also sighed as she looked at the table filled with more than a dozen delicacies in front of her, "Shang Shuyi is so popular. The first time I was invited to dinner was in the camp of Zuo Shi."

Qing Yi certainly didn't know about the delicate thoughts of this rough man Ran You. In order to thank Ran You for his warm hospitality, he simply pulled out a ninth-grade wild wolf from his car, cut the meat out and put it into the pot.

As the large chunks of ninth-grade wild wolf meat gave off the aroma of exotic beasts, the atmosphere in the entire cafeteria became even more intense. More than four hundred people laughed and made noises until almost midnight, when they finally calmed down.

Qing Yi slept soundly that night. As long as Xing Hou was not a fool, he would know the importance of the spring farming suit. Perhaps he would summon him early tomorrow morning.
