The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 127 Praising you isn't enough.

Sweetie looked at the Moon Kingdom princess with curiosity.

Tian'er had seen her before when she came to Qingyi Garden with that prince from Yue Kingdom last time.

But why doesn't she have any princess airs at all? She's still so clingy to her mistress.

She could tell that the young lady didn't really want to talk to her, but she didn't chase her away.

"I was blind to your greatness last time and offended you. Please forgive me this time, Princess." Seeing that Yun Wei was unmoved, Xuan Yuanjing couldn't help but tug at her sleeve and start to act coquettishly.

Yunwei couldn't stand her any longer. She pushed her hand away and frowned, saying, "Go if you want to."

"Really? Then you can't go back on your word and abandon me halfway!" Xuan Yuanjing was overjoyed and turned to her attendants behind her, saying, "You all go back, you don't need to follow us anymore."

The attendant hesitated, "But..."

"No buts. My sister, the county princess, is highly skilled in martial arts. Even General Ouyang is no match for her. There is no safer place than with her." Xuan Yuanjing waved her hand impatiently.

Ouyang Kui, who happened to be passing by with his men, turned as black as the bottom of a pot upon hearing this.

That princess is really something, boosting the morale of others while diminishing the prestige of her own people.

Yunwei had already seen him, paused for a moment, and then ignored him.

"What a coincidence, to run into Princess Rong'an here." Ou Yangkui said with a half-smile.

Yunwei glanced at him, said nothing, and urged her horse forward.

Seeing the person in question there, Xuan Yuanjing felt a little guilty. As soon as she left, he urged his horse to follow.

Ouyang Kui, recalling the competition that day, still felt somewhat unwilling, so he rode off to follow.

Yun Wei quickly noticed Ouyang Kui following behind and frowned.

"General Ouyang, what are you doing following us?" Xuan Yuanjing also noticed and turned around to glare at Ouyang Kui with displeasure.

“Princess, what are you saying? There are many paths to take, so how can you say that I am following you?” Ouyang Kui said lazily.

Xuan Yuanjing was furious when she heard this. The other party was obviously following them, but they wouldn't admit it.

After leaving the city, seeing that Ouyang Kui was still following behind, she couldn't help but glance at him sideways and sneered, "Since General Ouyang isn't with us, then may I ask where you're headed?"

"No comment," Ouyang Kui replied lazily.

This infuriated Xuanyuan Jing.

"You're clearly following us, but you won't admit it. What's the point of this?"

Ouyang Kui pointed his chin forward, "If Your Highness continues, Princess Rong'an will run away."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanjing immediately turned to look ahead and saw that Yun Wei's horse, which had been leisurely walking just moments before, was now galloping swiftly across the open field, and the distance between them was growing ever greater.

In a moment of panic, she cried out, "Princess, wait for me!"

Yunwei naturally heard Xuanyuan Jing's shout, but she did not stop. Instead, she carried Tian'er and sped for a while before stopping by a stream.

When Xuanyuan Jing and Ouyang Kui arrived, she had already caught the fish and was grilling it.

"It smells so good." Xuan Yuanjing sniffed the air, quickly dismounted, and moved closer to Yun Wei.

Yunwei handed her the grilled fish.

Xuanyuan Jing was delighted. "Thank you, Princess." She picked it up and was about to eat it when Yunwei stopped her. "It's not cooked yet. Keep baking it."

Xuan Yuanjing was embarrassed and said "Oh," then imitated her earlier actions, putting the fish back on the fire to continue grilling.

In a short while, Ouyang Kui also dismounted.

Seeing Yunwei holding a bamboo fork and fishing by the stream, he walked over.

"The county princess is in high spirits."

Yunwei ignored him and started spearing the fish in the stream.

Several plump fish were thrown onto the shore.

"Miss, you're so amazing!" Tian'er exclaimed with admiration, then stepped forward to take the fish off the ground and prepare it.

Yun Wei stopped her and said to Ouyang Kui, who was standing to the side, "General Ouyang will probably eat fish later, right?"

"So?" Ouyang Kui asked, puzzled. Yun Wei picked up a few fish and threw them over. "If you want to eat, you have to do it yourself. I'll trouble General Ouyang to process these fish."

Ouyang Kui: "..."

By the time he realized what was happening, he was already squatting by the stream, swiftly cutting the fish with a knife.

After the killing was finished, he looked completely bewildered.

Wasn't he here to cause trouble for Yunwei? Why should he listen to her and obediently kill fish here?
Just as he was about to smash the fish into the water, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, "Give me the cleaned fish."

He instinctively handed the fish over.

The other person held the fish and commented on it, "General Ouyang's fish-killing skills are quite good. It's very clean. You can tell at a glance that you've killed many fish before."

Ouyang Kui: "..."

Coming to his senses, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yunwei, don't go too far!"

Yunwei looked at him strangely, "How did I go too far? Can't I even praise you?"

Ouyang Kui: "..."

"Stop arguing. After you've cleaned the fish, go and gather some firewood," Yunwei instructed.

"Oh," Ouyang Kui replied, getting up and walking towards the woods.

Halfway there, he realized something.

Damn it, why does he listen to that woman Yunwei?
"It smells so good! It must be delicious!" Xuan Yuanjing's cheers came from afar.

Ouyang Kui swallowed hard and resignedly went to gather firewood.

When he retrieved it, Yunwei and her servant, along with Xuanyuan Jing, were sitting on a rock eating fish.

Ouyang Kui's stomach rumbled, and he said with a dark face, "Why did you start eating first? You didn't even wait for me."

"Once it's grilled, you can eat it." Xuan Yuanjing gave him a strange look.

Yunwei tossed him half a fish wrapped in a large leaf.

Ouyang Kui subconsciously reached out and took it.

It was a little hot to the touch, and he immediately realized what was inside.

This person still has some conscience; they left him some.

He threw down the firewood, squatted down, and eagerly began to eat the grilled fish.

Sweetie found it hilarious.

This general looks imposing and tall, but why does he seem a bit simple-minded?
After finishing the fish, Yunwei took out the dagger she carried with her and walked to the bamboo grove next to her, where she began to chop bamboo.

"Sister County Princess, what are you doing cutting bamboo?" Xuan Yuanjing asked curiously.

"Make bamboo tube grilled fish," Yunwei replied, deftly cutting the bamboo into three sections along the nodes, and then having Tian'er take them to the stream to wash them clean.

After Tian'er cleaned the bamboo tube and bamboo leaves, Yunwei stuffed the prepared fish into the bamboo tube.

After doing all this, Yunwei put the bamboo tube over the fire to roast.

Before long, an enticing aroma filled the air.

Even though Xuan Yuanjing was already full, the aroma of grilled fish mixed with the scent of bamboo made her crave it again.

She had just squatted down by the fire when a burly figure squatted down beside her as well.

Yunwei looked at the two people squatting by the fire, their eyes fixed intently on the bamboo tubes on the fire, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

Are these two gluttons?
Just as the aroma grew stronger and the fish was about to be cooked, a group of masked assassins in black, wielding swords, suddenly descended from the sky and attacked Yun Wei.

“My grilled fish!”

Xuan Yuanjing and Ouyang Kui exclaimed in surprise at the same time, drawing their weapons to intercept the assassin's sword aimed at Yun Wei.

"Dare to ruin my grilled fish, I'll take your lives!" Ouyang Kui roared, slashing the assassins one by one, knocking them to the ground.
