Yu Mingchuan nodded. He used his left hand to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth. He also picked up some pickles and ate them together.

"How much pickles do we have?" Xue Yan followed Yu Mingchuan's example, but he still found it hard to swallow.

"Only a few are left."

Yu Mingchuan, on the other hand, acted like he was eating an ordinary meal. He put down his chopsticks, picked up a piece of mantou, and took a bite.

Helpless, Lu Qing could no longer be bothered with him. She wanted to eat. After running for a whole day, she had become extremely hungry. Even if she were to die, she had to be full like a ghost.

Not long after, the three of them finished the steamed bread with lamb and millet noodles. The old man brought over a few jars of hot goat's milk. Lu Qing quickly grabbed it and drank it. The steamed cake really made her choke.

The others also drank their goat's milk. After Yu Mingchuan finished eating, he used a cup of water to rinse his mouth. Then he poured another cup for Lu Qing to rinse her mouth as well.

Lu Qing looked at Xue Yan with a puzzled expression. Yu Mingchuan had used this cup before, how did he give it to her?

Xue Yan's eyes slightly twitched. Yu Mingchuan, whom he knew, never used the same thing with anyone else.

"Follow me back to Commandant Manor."

His red lips moved, Yu Mingchuan was getting impatient.

Lu Qing quickly took the cup and avoided the place where Yu Mingchuan used to be. She hastily washed her mouth and then stood beside him.

Yu Mingchuan started to walk out. Lu Qing was hesitating whether she should follow him or not, but Han Shuo was still here.

However, Xue Yan gave her a look. Han Shuo had him to take care of her, so he told her to hurry over.

Clenching her fist, Lu Qing braced herself and ran to catch up with Yu Mingchuan.

Han Shuo was about to shout from behind, but Xue Yan covered his mouth.

"Stop messing around, your mother will be fine."

The sky had already darkened.

Yu Mingchuan had a big stride. It took Lu Qing a while to catch up with him. The two walked on, one in front and the other behind. On the way, they encountered quite a few soldiers, so they avoided them as if they didn't see them.

Lu Qing curled her lips. This is your Commandant. Why are you pretending not to see him when he's greeting him? Why are you hiding when he doesn't see you!?

Yu Mingchuan didn't think much of it and quickly walked to a tall wall that was also compacted with clay.

There was no moon tonight, so Lu Qing couldn't see clearly what kind of building it was. All she knew was that Yu Mingchuan brought her into this courtyard through two courtyards and into a house that looked quite comfortable.

Yu Mingchuan lit up the candles in the room. Only then did Lu Qing realize that this was probably Yu Mingchuan's bedroom, which was used for sleeping in the inner room. On the left side was a small room that looked like a bathroom.

"What are you waiting for, help me undress."

Yu Mingchuan stood beside the bathroom and stretched out his arms, waiting for Lu Qing to come over.

Lu Qing quickly walked over and started to study the buckle of Yu Mingchuan's armor. After fumbling around for a while, she finally undid one of the shoulder armors. Luckily, she found the trick.

Yu Mingchuan didn't seem to be in a hurry. He just stared at Lu Qing with his damn eyes as if he was watching a good show.

After taking off the armor, Yu Mingchuan was wearing a thin cotton suit. Lu Qing could feel the heat coming from the suit. It seemed like the guy was resistant to cold.

Footsteps could be heard outside the door as Lu Qing dodged to the side in a hurry to see two soldiers carrying two buckets of water each.

After they entered, both of them lowered their heads. After pouring the water into the bath barrel, they lowered their heads and went out.

After going back and forth a few times, the bath barrel was filled with hot air and was about to be filled with water.

Then Yu Mingchuan told the two not to come back and closed the door.
