Yuan Wulang immediately locked himself in his room after obtaining the secret manual.

  He was born clever and had a strong understanding ability. In no time, he had flipped through all the illustrations in this book.

  It turns out that it starts from here and ends there, with a mysterious and wonderful process in between, leaving him speechless and feeling refreshed.

  He stared intently at those elf-like paintings, without a hint of obscenity in his eyes, but full of the spirit of specialization!

  Yes, an arrow shot from a bow has no turning back.

  Yuan Wulang never fights an unprepared battle.

  He felt that just hastily scanning through it would only allow him to learn the surface level, far from enough for him to grasp the essence.

  After some thought, nothing much has happened recently, daily chores are taken care of by Jiǔ Wáng, so there's no need to worry.

  He decided to stay indoors all day, devoting himself wholeheartedly to studying, determined to master the twists and turns of this book before tonight, so that he could astonish his little wife.

  He ordered Huai Shu to stand guard outside and told him that he was reviewing confidential military information, forbidding anyone from disturbing him.

  Cui Ling personally cooked some porridge and waited left and right for Yuan Wulang, but he didn't come, so she thought it would be better to send it over to him.

  She had previously inquired from Huai Shu and knew that Yuan Wulang usually handled affairs in the Canglan Temple and also rested there at night.

  A large bowl of coarse rice porridge and several small dishes filled her lunchbox, which she then carried out of the elegant little pavilion.

  With the guidance of kind-hearted patrol guards, I finally found the Canglan Temple, but who would have thought that it was closed.

  Huai Shu conscientiously guarded the gate and did not let her in.

  His tone was extremely reluctant, but the arm blocking the door didn't waver at all. "Fifth Madam, Master is inside reviewing confidential military matters and has ordered that no one be allowed in. You see..."

  It's not that he doesn't understand human feelings, it's just that military orders are like mountains.

  The Yuan family army can be proud and independent because they have been undefeated for hundreds of years, thanks to their strict military discipline.

  The fifth master is studying confidential military information in his room. Perhaps there have been some changes on the battlefield, and it's really not possible to be slow.

  At this point, Cui Ying was indeed very reasonable.

  She raised her hand and lifted the food box in her hand, "Then trouble Huai Shu Xiao Ge to help me send these in."

  Huai Shu sniffed his nose and smelled the food aroma coming from the lunchbox, a look of great longing appeared on his face.

  But he shook his head, "The Fifth Master said that no one is allowed to disturb him, and this 'no one' includes me."

  Chui Ying sighed helplessly and handed the lunchbox to Huai Shu. "In that case, I'll give it to you to eat."

  She carefully cooked the porridge with beef bone soup, not only delicious but also nutritious. Since Yuan Wulang didn't eat it, then Huaishu would benefit from it, making his mouth water.

  Huai Shu asked in surprise, "To me? Really to me?"

  Upon receiving a positive response, he was overjoyed and almost jumped up, "Then I won't be polite with the Huai Shu, thank you, Fifth Granny!"

  Since Wu Nainai showed off her skills in the kitchen of Juying Hall yesterday, everyone in Lingyun Fu has known that Wu Nainai's culinary skills are exceptional, with color, fragrance and taste all being top-notch, and everyone is eager to have the opportunity to try some.

  Now he has such a chance to vent his anger and is overjoyed.

  Cui Ying glanced at the tightly closed door of Canglan Temple, and she was also worried that something urgent had happened on the front line again.

  What's been weighing on her mind is that her brother has just followed General Zhen Guo to the front lines.

  She didn't dare imagine that if the war situation suddenly changed and something happened to her brother, how would she explain it to her sister-in-law.

  With a nervous heart, she returned to her cozy little house with trepidation.

  It was unknown how long had passed when Yuan Wulang finally stood up from his desk after a period of secluded cultivation.

  He stretched his waist comfortably and pushed open the door to go out, "Huai Shu!"

  Huai Shu heard the noise and rushed out of one of the rooms, "Fifth Master, have you taken care of the urgent military matter?"

  Yuan Wulang's face was slightly solemn, and he nodded vaguely, "Uh-huh."

  He glanced at the lunchbox in the corner and asked, "Has Old Lady Wu been here?"

  Huai Shu hastily praised, "Still, Master's eyes are like a sharp sword! The fifth grandma came before noon, and I also wanted to let her in, but you ordered that no one was allowed to disturb, so..."

  He proudly puffed out his chest and said, "So, although it was very difficult, Xiao still stopped Wu Nainai."

  Yuan Wulang originally wanted to scold a few words, he and Cui Ying had just reconciled with great difficulty, but Huai Shu made her eat a closed-door meal, what if she got angry?

  But then he thought, in fact, he was not reviewing any military situation in the house, but...

  He blushed slightly, relying on his thick beard to obscure his face, and with a wave of his large hand said, "Not bad. However..."

  The topic suddenly changed, and he pointed at the solitary food box in the corner of the wall, asking "What's that all about?"

  Huai Shu scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Wu Nainai originally came to deliver food for you, but since you didn't let her in, she gave the food to me instead."

  He blinked his eyes, and his expression was not yet finished. "Ah, Wu Nainai is really amazing, how can she make a ordinary millet porridge so delicious?"

  No sooner had he finished speaking than a "gurgling" sound was heard from the opposite side.

  Yuan Wulang swallowed his saliva and saw Huai Shu's stunned expression, so he quickly used his hand to fan him on the forehead, "You've got a good deal, don't be arrogant, hurry up and carry the food box, follow me to Ya Qing Xiao Zhu!"

  Huai Shu's eyes lit up, and he looked up at the sky which was about to turn dark, it was time for dinner again...

  He hastily agreed and followed Yuan Wulang closely, trotting along behind him as they hurried towards the inner courtyard.

  As expected, before arriving at Ya Qing Xiao Zhu, a fragrant aroma wafted out from the kitchen.

  Cui Ying doesn't feel like cooking something delicious tonight.

  She was worried about the unknown situation on the front line, and also worried that Yu Ge, a spoiled noble young master, might not be used to life in the military camp, so she had no interest in bothering with food.

  But for a foodie, having no mood to cook and not cooking are two different things.

  She had a bowl of noodles with the leftover meat sauce from lunch.

  Not having even lifted his chopsticks yet, he heard Yuan Wulang's movements. "Rong'er, I'm back!"

  Choi Yong hastily went out to greet him and asked cautiously, "Wasn't it said that there was an urgent military situation?"

  She adjusted a pair of worried eyes, and then asked, "Is there any movement on the front line? Won't Brother Yu be in danger over there? Otherwise, let's think of a way to bring him back?"

  This string of rapid-fire questions left Yuan Wulang somewhat stunned.

  He immediately thought of the big lie he had just told and couldn't help but say with a smile, "No, what's going on with Rouran people? Brother Yu has his father and two older brothers to take care of him, nothing will happen, don't worry!"

  He saw Cui Ying's face flashing with suspicion, and hastily said, "I have some important things to attend to, but that has nothing to do with the war situation. It must be that Huai Shu didn't hear clearly and is talking nonsense. You're worried for no reason."

  On the side, Huai Shu whispered in a low voice, "Didn't you, Fifth Master, say that there was an urgent military matter to review? Why blame me?"

  Yuan Wulang coughed twice and felt that Huai Shu wouldn't even give him a glance, truly being a hindrance.

  "Alright, your meal box has been delivered, there's nothing for you here, go back."

  Huai Shu opened his mouth, reluctantly gazing at the noodles on the table with a pungent aroma of spicy and numbing flavors, and with great difficulty bid farewell to Cui Ying before dejectedly walking out the door.

  He felt very wronged.

  Obviously following Master Wu's instructions step by step without any self-will, so why did Master Wu still scold him?

  Being scolded a couple of times is nothing, what's most hateful is that he lost the delicious food in his mouth!

  He felt more and more aggrieved, but there was no way to resist, after all, the unreasonable one was his master!

  Cui Ling heard about Yuan Wulang's affair and it wasn't about the war situation on the front line, so she let out a sigh of relief.

  She hastily got up and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you?"

  Yuan Wulang sniffed the noodles on the table and couldn't help but lick his tongue, "This seems not bad, can I have a bite first?"

  Cui Ling nodded, "Eat up, there's still some noodles left, I'll just go get another bowl."

  Yuan Wulang listened and immediately became less polite. He sat down, picked up his chopsticks, clamped down on a piece of noodles, rolled it into his mouth, and savored the taste carefully.

  He spent the whole day studying Xiao Huang Shu and basically didn't eat anything. When he was indulging in the ocean of books, he didn't feel anything, but now when he saw the fragrant noodles, he realized that he had been hungry for a long time, his stomach was stuck to his back.

  At this time, even a casual snack can move his heart, let alone the delicious noodles in front of him.

  The light golden noodles, although uneven in thickness, did not feel messy at all when soaked in the red oil sauce, but instead had a kind of irregular beauty.

  The minced meat on top was sprinkled with a reddish-brown sauce that glistened with oil.

  The aroma wafted gently from the bowl into his nostrils, with a rich layering of wheat fragrance, sauce fragrance, and more sauce fragrance, intertwining and blending together to form an increasingly intense and alluring food aroma that made every pore on his body open up.

  This bowl of exceptionally good noodles stirred up all his appetite, and in the blink of an eye, he had eaten it all.

  After finally being full, Yuan Wulang patted his round belly and praised with satisfaction, "Rong'er, marrying a wife like you is really great!"

  This praise is plain and simple, but Cui Ying likes it very much.

  She was in a good mood and went along with his words, saying, "Yes, being able to marry a husband who knows how to appreciate things isn't bad either!"

  Two people's eyes meet, as if there is an electric spark. Entwined, affectionate, and sentimental feelings are all conveyed through the subtle exchange of glances.

  Yuan Wulang's emotions were stirred for a moment, and his body's desires rose again. He said in a hoarse voice, "Fei'er, let's not... shall we go back to our room and talk?"

  This time, he made up his mind to show off his prowess, and let them reach the great harmony of life!
