Noon the next day.
The snow is falling harder today, and the whole world is hazy.
Snowflakes fell from the sky, dyeing the entire house, branches, and ground in Majiazhuang white.
Everywhere you look is a vast expanse of white.
In a large tent in the open space at the head of Majiazhuang Village, a steaming copper pot was set up, and the firewood below was burning fiercely.
Every copper pot is surrounded by a dozen or so forbidden soldiers wearing cold iron armor.
They sat cross-legged on the snow, holding the steaming bowl in their hands, shaking themselves up and putting their mouths to the mouth of the bowl, sipping the hot porridge happily.
Mr. Ma, with a group of tightly wrapped girls, held a big basin and kept adding food to the copper pot surrounded by the imperial guards.
"Everyone eats with open arms, and everyone is full." Ma Sanye entertained happily.
"That's enough, that's enough."
The surrounding Forbidden Army thanked them one after another.
Mr. Ma Sanye exhaled a breath of cold air and looked at the howling north wind and the white snow in the sky with a bit of emotion on his face.
"It's a pity that you have important things to do, so it's not convenient for you to drink."
"Otherwise, in this cold and freezing weather, I would like to invite everyone to have a few hot drinks. Wine can also warm the body. ”
The hospitality in Majiazhuang was so warm that it warmed the hearts of these Forbidden Soldiers.
In the reception room of the Manufacturing Bureau.
The surrounding windows opened a little, and the howling north wind made a loud noise.
In the middle of the room, there was a large steaming pot, and the ingredients inside floated and sank with the rolling water.
The table next to him was filled with sliced mutton, vegetables and other ingredients.
"Your Highness the Prince, Prime Minister, this way of eating is called hot pot, and it is best to eat it on a snowy day."
"Eat it with sauce, it tastes better."
p>Wang Jian saw that the mutton slices in the pot were cooked, so he personally picked up the meat and put it into Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling's bowls.
"This way of eating is really unique."
Li Chengqian looked at the hot pot in front of him with curiosity on his face.
He imitated Wang Jian, put the mutton slices into a mixing bowl, stirred it, and then swallowed it in one gulp, a delicious taste directly filling his mouth.
Compared with fragrant stir-fry dishes, this hot pot tastes very good.
Li Chengqian thought to himself that when he returned to Chang'an, he would also arrange a hot pot meal like this for his father.
Fang Xuanling also felt good after eating, praising repeatedly, "The way to eat hot pot is good, everyone gathers together, chatting and telling stories happily."
"Brother Wang, I should I suggest to His Majesty that you enter the palace as a royal chef."
"You are making a great contribution to cooking, Si.Not inferior to the ability to investigate things. "
Fang Xuanling joked about Wang Jian.
"Haha. "
Xue Rengui, Er Dan, Xu Hu and Ma Dayong, who were accompanying each other, all laughed when they heard Fang Xuanling's words.
Fang Xuanling patted the person sitting on the Er Dan, who was beside him, looked at Xue Rengui and others with an expression of appreciation on his face.
Then he turned to look at Wang Jian.
"Wang Jian." Little brother, what are your plans for these four tiger warriors? "
Wang Jian helped Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling pick up half a bowl of meat. After hearing Fang Xuanling's words, he sat up a little straighter.
He did not put a piece of meat into his hands. At first, I told Fang Xuanling that I wanted to climb up the pole.
"We are all people in the mountains and we are very stupid. Please ask Fang Xiang to point out a clear path." "Wang Jian smiled and cupped his hands towards Fang Xuanling.
"You little naughty boy. "Fang Xuanling raised her hand, smiled and patted Wang Jian's shoulder.
Fang Xuanling looked at the four tall young people with satisfaction, thought for a moment and said.
< p> "Since the four of them are destined to General Li Jing, and General Li has never forgotten the four of them. ""I will take advantage of the situation and recommend you to General Li Jing's command. "
Wang Jian was overjoyed.
Li Jing was the commander-in-chief and the absolute main force in the war against the Turks.
Xue Rengui and the four of them were under Li Jing's command. What you do is not something ordinary soldiers do.
Climbing first, breaking the formation, killing generals, capturing the flag, whatever you do is all credit.

Okay, that’s great!
Wang Jian saw Xue Rengui and the others were stunned, stood up and walked to them, and each of them gave a shudder.
"Why don't you thank Fang Xiang for your cultivation. "
The four of them, Xue Rengui, woke up from a dream and stood up one after another to salute and thank Fang Xuanling.
"Just say thank you dryly? Where's the wine? ”
“Hurry up and propose a toast to me.” "
Wang Jian filled up the wine glasses for all four of them, and poured half a glass of wine into Fang Xuan's wine glass.
"Prime Minister, we propose a toast to you. "
The four of them, Xue Rengui, raised their glasses and toasted to Fang Xuanling.
Ma Dayong got excited again, and his hands shook so much that he spilled the wine.
< p> "You boys. "Fang Xuanling nodded and said with a smile.Then he raised his glass to signal them and drank it all in one gulp.
There was wine and food, and the meal was enjoyable.
...
An hour later.
The imperial troops had packed up their tents and arranged themselves in formation outside.
Half a cart of sweet potatoes covered in soil was packed in wooden boxes and placed on the carriage.
Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling also got on the carriage. They opened the curtain and waved goodbye to Wang Jian and others.
"Brother Wang, there is something I almost forgot to tell you."
Li Chengqian waved to Wang Jian, motioning for him to come over.
Wang Jian walked to the carriage in confusion, stood on tiptoe and put his ear to the window.
Li Chengqian glanced at the guards next to him, and they took a few steps forward with eyes.
Seeing that there was no one within a few meters, Li Chengqian put his hand in front of his mouth and spoke in a low voice.
"Brother Wang, the poetry festival that was originally held this autumn was not held due to drought, so my father has specially rescheduled it to the early spring of next year."
"Li Zhi asked me to bring you a message. You will be invited to participate at that time."
"The poem will be originally titled Spring, Rain, and Flowers, and Li Zhi will ask you to prepare first."
"However, what will happen next? There may be questions on the side, but Li Zhi and I can't find out the specific questions."
"Brother Wang, I'll have to rely on you to improvise."
Wang Jian. His brows moved slightly, with a bit of surprise on his face.
Unexpectedly, the little princess Li Lizhi secretly revealed the topic to him.
This really surprised him.
However, the king of poets is not afraid of being cut off. Although he was not a great talent in his previous life, he would always recite a few of the three hundred Tang poems.
Wang Jian smiled and nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, Your Royal Highness, and please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my best."
Although Wang Jian does not have an official position yet, but yesterday In the late conversation, he was already a member of Li Chengqian's East Palace.
Those who appear at the poetry meeting also represent the face of the East Palace.
Li Chengqian, a young young lady, saw Wang Jian's calm reaction and knew that he had something in mind.
So he said with satisfaction, "Brother Wang, we will see you in the next year."
Then Li Chengqian waved to Xue Rengui and the other four with a smile on his face.
"Practice your martial arts well. I look forward to your meritorious service on the battlefield."
The words of the prince Li Chengqian made the four of them, Xue Rengui, goosebumps with excitement.
They stood straight and saluted Li Chengqian in a uniform manner using the military salute taught by Wang Jian.
The actions of the four people attracted the attention of the surrounding imperial troops.
"Brother Wang, let's say goodbye here and see you again in Chang'an when the spring comes in March."
Fang Xuanling nodded towards Wang Jian, and then said to the Forbidden Army general beside him Ordered to set off.
Wang Jian clasped his fists towards Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling.
"The road is slippery in the snow, but have a safe journey."
