Nong Wu and Steel Feng Yi also listened to Lu Qing's suggestion. They made some fishing nets and rafts and fished out naked carp in the Shu Le River every day. They were too lazy to move.

Right now, they did not lack salt. Lu Qing suggested that they make more salted fish so that they could be preserved. They could eat whenever they wanted to. In any case, it could still 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!

Lu Qing only hated that the chili peppers were still on the American continent. Otherwise, she would have drooled just thinking about the chili peppers.

Seeing Lu Qing suddenly lose herself in her thoughts 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. When she saw Yu Mingchuan's probing gaze, she realized that she 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 picked up another two pieces of mushroom and ate them. His wife was too special, the things in her mind definitely weren't from the Central Plains. 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."

Lu Qing ate another two mouthfuls of rice and sorted out her thoughts. She decided to talk about the coal with Yu Mingchuan first. It was getting colder and colder and their charcoal was running so little. It would be hard to not have a stove in winter.

"I remember there's a …"

The door was knocked.

Lu Qing quickly shut her mouth.

"Young General."

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

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 door, looking at Lu Qing and then looking at Yu Mingchuan. He didn't come in.

Lu Qing looked doubtfully at Yu Mingchuan. What did he mean by asking her to leave? Alright, Lu Qing tactfully moved her butt. Just as she was about to stand up, she was pulled down by Yu Mingchuan.

"Huo Jing, come in and talk." Yu Mingchuan's eyes flashed and 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 that, Yu Mingchuan gave Lu Qing some more dishes. Recently, the little girl had eaten a lot and seemed to have more meat 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 Qiang Clan, and Shi Le's people 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. This Shi Le was a well-known figure in history and was much more scheming than Shi Hu.

Feeling Lu Qing's trembling, Yu Mingchuan grabbed one of her hands, opened up her clenched knuckles 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 fist and saluted. Then, he sneaked a glance at Lu Qing before leaving.

Once the door was closed, Lu Qing put down her 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 said I will protect you, so I won't break my promise. They won't find me here that soon. Don't be afraid."
