"Don't worry, I have already prepared it for you. I can't let you go hungry," Cheng Shuiyao smiled and glanced at Duan Ran, then turned to Xiaoyun, "Instruct the kitchen to prepare the food here!"

Xiaoyun nodded and walked out of here.

"Today's dish... is normal, right?" Duan Ran still had lingering fears about Xiao Ji's "craftsmanship" and asked uncertainly.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ji will stay in the military camp today and won't interfere in the kitchen." Cheng Shuiyao instantly realized what she was worried about and nodded in a funny way.

"That's good, that's good."

Duan Ran patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

She had traveled all over the country and never tasted anything. She could even eat raw hare without any seasoning without changing her expression, but she really couldn't resist Xiao Ji's "delicious dishes."

"What's wrong?" Songzanqi asked curiously, not knowing what they were talking about.

"The food Xiao Ji cooks is really unpalatable. You must not try it. If you have to eat it, I suggest you leave immediately."

Duan Ran felt that he had to dissuade every little girl who was not familiar with the world, so he immediately spoke earnestly.

ah?

Songzanqi tilted her head, probably understanding what they were talking about.

But this was the Xiao Mansion, and she couldn't say much more, so she could only smile and change the topic.

Xiaoyun came back soon and served a table full of food to three people.

"There are so many, can we finish them all?" Songzanqi looked at the dishes on the table with some worry, feeling that the three of them would not be able to finish them all.

"You can't underestimate our Miss Duan's appetite," Cheng Shuiyao looked at Duan Ran with a smile and glanced at Song Zanqi.

Song Zanqi understood immediately and nodded immediately, "Then I should be worrying too much."

"Don't listen to her, Yao'er is bad," Duan Ran tried to save his image, but Cheng Shuiyao exposed her mercilessly.

"I remember that someone ate two plates of pig's trotters last time..."

"Stop it," Duan Ran immediately realized what she wanted to say, interrupted Cheng Shuiyao directly, and gave her a piece of meat.

"Okay," Cheng Shuiyao didn't insist on exposing her. He looked at the meat in the bowl, said nothing more, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

After dinner, Duan Ran got up and left.

"Are you busy recently? If nothing happens, just stay in my house for a few more days. I think the princess likes you very much," Cheng Shuiyao said while pouting at her, gesturing for her to stay.

"This..." Duan Ran hesitated for a moment and did not nod immediately.

"What else is wrong with you?" Seeing her hesitation, Cheng Shuiyao asked subconsciously.

"Ah..." Duan Ran was stunned for a moment, then shook his head quickly, "Nothing happened, it's just that the house I used to live in was occupied by the King of Songs. Where should I live?"

"Will my prime minister's house be missing a room for you?" Cheng Shuiyao laughed when she heard that he was worried about this, "Don't worry, as long as you want to stay, you will definitely have a room to sleep in."

"Then it's settled," Duan Ran laughed and nodded immediately.

Song Zanqi said nothing, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

In the military camp, Xiao Ji was sitting on a stool, looking at the information in his hand with a little more suspicion in his eyes.

"Where did this news come from?"

"Reporting to the general, this news was sent to us, but my subordinates are incompetent and have not yet found out which force sent the news."

The subordinate immediately answered with a serious expression.

"Jile is the minister of Dali Temple, and he has been involved with the prime minister. He can even give orders. It seems that this third party has something." Xiao Ji narrowed his eyes and sighed with emotion.

"General, aren't you afraid that this news is false? What if someone deliberately designed it to lure us into taking the bait?" Seeing that he believed the news, his subordinates looked up at him worriedly.

"So what if it's true, so what if it's fake?" Xiao Ji smiled playfully and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Besides, even if it's fake, what harm will it do to us?"

"What the general means..." The subordinates understood a little, but did not dare to speculate on Xiao Ji's meaning.

"Send some people to check on him. It's best to find out how he communicates with the third party, so that we have something to hold on to."

Xiao Ji slowly burned the information on the candle, and spoke while burning.

The subordinate immediately got the order and walked out of here.

This thing is really getting more and more interesting.

Xiao Ji smiled and turned his attention to the news.

Compared with Jile's affairs, the border affairs attracted his attention more.

There are many ethnic minorities around them in the Central Plains, but only a few of them are intimidating. After years of suppression in the Central Plains, they have almost all surrendered.

But there are always people ready to take action.

Xiao Ji fixed his gaze on the name Wang Song and his expression turned cold.

Wang Song appeared very suddenly, but he was very capable. In just two years, he trained a huge army and relied on this army to annex several small countries one after another.

Now, is he starting to have ideas about the Central Plains?

Xiao Ji thought like this, stood up slowly, stood in front of the big map, and tapped the location of Luo Kingdom with his finger.

There is now only one country left between the Monroe Kingdom and the Central Plains. As long as Wang Song annexes this country, he can command the Central Plains at any time.

This is not good. We need to tell the emperor as soon as possible.

Xiao Ji sighed and left here quickly.

It was too late now, the palace was probably locked, so he could only go there tomorrow.

Back at Xiao Mansion, Xiao Jigang was about to walk to the study when he saw Cheng Shuiyao standing not far from the door.

She put on her coat, but now she was shivering slightly from the cold. She had obviously been waiting here for a long time.

"What happened?" Xiao Ji frowned subconsciously and walked quickly to Cheng Shuiyao.

"I should be asking you this," Cheng Shuiyao said helplessly, "What happened to you when you stayed in the military camp for so long today?"

"There is some minor turmoil at the border, but for now, it should not be a cause for concern. There is no need to worry about it for the time being. However, I still need to report it to the emperor in advance to let him know."

When Xiao Ji heard what she said, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her back.

"So that's it," Cheng Shuiyao nodded, knowing that she shouldn't get involved in this matter, so she didn't say anything and looked at Xiao Ji and said, "Today, Duan Ran and Song Zan Law Industry had a huge commotion.

A lot of tiles were broken."
