Chapter 99 Grilled Fish! (Please collect! Please vote! Please invest!)
An hour later, night slowly fell, and a simple military camp was built beside the stream. A few wisps of smoke slowly rose from the camp, and the cooks began to cook.

Some soldiers in the team who were good at fishing also made simple fishing rods, or directly used spears as harpoons, and started fishing by the river, hoping to improve everyone's meals at night.

Although they were marching deep in the mountains these days, in order to save time, everyone was basically rushing all the way except for eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet. They had no time to hunt at all. The entire army, from Ye Mingsheng to ordinary soldiers, ate dry rations and rarely had meat. Their mouths were already dry.

Now I finally have the opportunity and time is not so tight. I can have a good rest and naturally satisfy my appetite.

In the evening, under the starry sky, next to a blazing bonfire in the center of the military camp, Ye Tie handed three grass carps that were roasted to perfection and were emitting a hot and fragrant aroma to Ye Mingsheng.

"Master, I only added a little salt according to your taste!"

"Leave one for yourself to eat!"

Seeing that Ye Tie only grilled three fish and gave them all to himself, Ye Mingsheng shook his head and left one for Ye Tie.

Although the soldiers caught a lot of fish, more than a hundred in total, Ye Mingsheng had more than four hundred men under his command, so on average, most of the soldiers could only eat a bite of fish and drink a little fish soup. Only some military officers like Ye Mingsheng, Chen Yannian, Wang Xian, Lin Huaiwu and others could get a whole grilled fish.

Ye Mingsheng took a big bite of the roasted grass carp and nodded after feeling Ye Tie's cooking skills. Ye Tie roasted the fish very skillfully. It looked very burnt on the outside, but it was actually not burnt at all. Moreover, the fish meat inside was very juicy, which could be described as crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. During the current march, being able to eat such food was already quite good...

The only flaw was that Ye Mingsheng only had salt and no other spices. Otherwise, Ye Mingsheng was very confident that he could use his experience of eating skewers on Earth to prepare a barbecue seasoning to further enhance the taste of the grilled fish.

After taking another bite of the crispy and delicious fish, Ye Mingsheng suddenly remembered that Pei Zhixiu was still chewing on cold and hard dry food in her tent. He stood up and quickly finished the grilled fish he was eating. Then, taking the other grilled fish that he had not touched yet, he walked towards Pei Zhixiu's tent.

Seeing Ye Mingsheng's actions, Ye Dong and Ye Ju, who were eating dry food and drinking fish soup, immediately wanted to put down their food and follow Ye Mingsheng closely. However, when Ye Tie saw that Ye Mingsheng was heading towards Pei Zhixiu's tent, he immediately gave the two of them a look that could only be understood but not expressed in words...
Feeling Ye Tie's gaze, Ye Dong and Ye Ju were stunned at first, then they smiled knowingly and very consciously kept a distance from Ye Mingsheng who was walking in front of them.

Ye Mingsheng, who was unaware of the little moves of his personal soldiers behind him, came straight to Pei Zhixiu's tent. Just when he was subconsciously about to walk directly into the tent, he heard Pei Zhixiu's cold voice in the tent.

"General Ye, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Hearing Pei Zhixiu's question, Ye Mingsheng realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and said apologetically: "Ye Tie grilled a few fish, and I thought you haven't eaten yet, so I brought one for you..." After Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, Pei Zhixiu's tent fell into a brief silence. Just when Ye Mingsheng was at a loss.

The tent cloth was suddenly lifted from the inside, revealing Pei Zhixiu's pretty face. Under the reflection of the moonlight, Pei Zhixiu, who already exuded a morbid beauty, looked even more mysterious and seductive.

Although Ye Mingsheng had developed some resistance to Pei Zhixiu's beauty after thinking about it for these days, but at this moment, Ye Mingsheng could still clearly feel that his heartbeat had quickened a lot.

"General Ye, please come in!"

"Ok!"

Ye Mingsheng, holding grilled fish in his hand, walked into Pei Zhixiu's tent. When he walked into the tent and looked at the neat furnishings in the simple tent, as well as the faint fragrance that was exactly the same as Pei Zhixiu's, Ye Mingsheng realized that although he met Pei Zhixiu often, this was the first time he entered her tent!
After calming down for a while, Ye Mingsheng handed over the grilled fish in his hand. Looking at Pei Zhixiu's thinner figure, he said with some self-mockery:

“Eat it while it’s hot. You’ve been troubled by Miss Pei these days. You’ve been following me, Ye, and have to eat dry food in the mountains. It’s really hard for you. I only put a little salt in this grilled fish. I don’t know if it suits your taste...”

Looking at the grilled fish handed over by Ye Mingsheng, Pei Zhixiu shook his head and said softly: "General Ye, please help yourself. I have not eaten meat since I was twelve years old."

"Oh? Miss Pei, do you believe in Buddhism?" Ye Mingsheng asked curiously:
"No, it's just that at that time, I started to study medicine with my father, and I didn't like to eat things with blood!" Pei Zhixiu shook her head, blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at Ye Mingsheng and continued:
"In today's world, Zhixiu is already very satisfied to have General Ye's care and a safe place to live. She doesn't dare to have any other extravagant hopes..."

Hearing Pei Zhixiu's considerate attitude, Ye Mingsheng was touched. Just when he was about to say something, Pei Zhixiu took the lead and said, "General Ye, let's eat here. I haven't checked your pulse for a long time. Today, I will take this opportunity to check on you."

"it is good!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded upon hearing this, and began to eat the grilled fish in his hand. After a while, the whole grilled fish was eaten up, leaving only the fish bones. Just when Ye Mingsheng was about to wipe the grease from the corner of his mouth with his big hand, Pei Zhixiu handed him a piece of gauze for bandaging the wound.
"Thank you." Ye Mingsheng was stunned for a moment, then he took the gauze and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth.

After wiping his mouth, Ye Mingsheng obediently extended his right hand at Pei Zhixiu's signal. Pei Zhixiu immediately placed her slender hand on Ye Mingsheng's wrist and began to check Ye Mingsheng's pulse with a serious look.
