"My lord is away, and I know you and your brothers are not feeling well. That's why I went to the kitchen and let myself go."

Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice.

"Lao Wu, when you have a moment, shave off that beard of yours, wash your face, and change your clothes."

“When you figure it out, put on your armor and come back to help me…”

"No interest!"

Bai Lao Wu impatiently interrupted Xia Hou Dun's words.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Step aside and turn around.

... lest Xiahou Dun see the fleeting gloom in his eyes.

When he turned again, his face was back to its usual languid expression.

"What a comfortable place to be! Sitting in the shade, munching on cucumbers, basking in the sun, and chatting away. This is the perfect place to spend one's retirement!"

Bào Lǎo Wǔ said.

Xiahou Dun remained silent, staring at Lao Wu Bai with undisguised disappointment.

Lao Wu ignored the disappointment and continued, "That new recruit, Luo Fengtang, I don't care if he has any connection with the prince."

"That boy, Old Fifth saw him right."

"Come over here and tell him to bring himself down to my kitchen. I want to teach him a lesson myself!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

General Zhu hadn't gotten the chance to interrogate Luofeng Tang harshly yet.

On the other hand, General Xiahou's military order directly promoted the man and sent him to the kitchen to be trained by Old Bai.

On his way to the kitchen, Luofeng Tang heard from the person who came to pick him up about his own affiliation issues.

Want to go to the kitchen?

Chop wood and cook rice?

Isn't this a disguised demotion?

Thinking that he wouldn't be able to take a knife onto the battlefield in the future, he felt very uncomfortable.

A soldier must unconditionally obey.

Moreover, this was General Xiahou's order. Even though Luofengtang felt resentment in his heart, he could only grit his teeth and report to the kitchen.

When he came to the kitchen to report, he happened to catch the lunch cooking.

The kitchen was bustling with activity.

Chopping, stir-frying, braising rice, splitting wood...

In the kitchen, smoke billowed from the wok. The cooks rolled up their sleeves; some even worked shirtless, wielding their spatulas energetically.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

Crackling and sizzling.

It's incredibly lively.

He was met by a tall middle-aged man with a full beard, a booming voice and an apron around his waist.

"Haha, you must be the new recruit Luo Fengtang, right?"

Old Bai patted Luo Fengtang's shoulder and asked kindly,

Luo Fengtang raised his head and saluted Bai Lao Wu xing with a military salute.

Stand up straight, straighten your spine, and then introduce yourself.

Seeing his posture, the other men in the kitchen all burst into laughter.

"This rookie, he really knows how to do things right, hahaha…"

Old Bai glared fiercely at the few guys who were laughing the loudest: "Shut up! As a soldier, you need to have the demeanor of a soldier!"

"Haha, buddy, where's your swagger? Is it on the belly of Little Qing at the Goulan courtyard in town?"

"Wu DAPAO, if you bullshit one more time, I'll whack you with a cucumber bucket!"

Old Bai chuckled and scolded Wu Dapian.

Everyone laughed again.

Looking at the scene before him, Luofeng Tang sadly lowered his eyes, feeling that the road ahead was dark.

Bai Lao Wu sent those people away and pulled Luo Feng Tang aside to sit down.

He casually pulled a cucumber from the nearby basket and offered it to him: "Want one?"

Luo Fengtang quickly shook his head: "Thank you, buddy, no need."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Huanggua was stuffed into his own mouth by Bai Laowu.

'Click'

A sharp crack.

White Lao Wu, chewing on a cucumber, pointed at the men in the smoke-filled room one by one and introduced them to Luo Fengtang.

After going around the room, Luofeng Tang discovered that all the men in it were in their thirties.

They are all uncles!

He must be an old soldier who has lost his fighting ability, so he was sent to the kitchen to do logistics.

Luo Feng Tang secretly guessed in her heart.

No, he can't accept defeat. He can't stay here and retire. When this storm has passed, he must fight his way back to the front lines.

>

Make great achievements.

"Feng Tang, you really underestimate our roommates." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Bai Lao Wu patted Luo Feng Tang's shoulder, his cheeks puffed out from the cucumber, making his speech somewhat slurred.

"Let me tell you, in this entire camp, our kitchen is the most comfortable place."

"Look, how abundant the food and drink are!"

No need to train, nor to go to the front lines and risk your life.

"Hiding here, getting a couple of silver coins every month as military pay, and I can even go to the brothel in town to drink with a couple of girls when I have free time. Life is pretty good…"

Bai Lao Wu was getting carried away.

Luò Fēng Táng endured patiently, listening with a frown that deepened with each passing word.

Especially when he heard about going to find a girl for drunken revelry, Luofeng Tang felt he could no longer bear it.

Just as he was about to speak up and correct Old Five's decadent lifestyle, a sudden flurry of hurried and chaotic footsteps echoed from outside the kitchen.

At that moment, a soldier's voice came from outside: "Is Luofeng Tang inside? Get him out! General Zhu is here!"

General Zhu?

Luofeng Tang suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

He turned and hurried toward the kitchen door.

Outside the kitchen, General Zhu was standing with two soldiers.

General Zhu wore a grim expression and, seeing Luo Fengtang emerge from inside, he let out a cold snort.

"You, Luofeng Tang, deserted your post and are acting suspiciously. You even dared to leave the military detention area on your own!"

“I command you, return with me at once and face questioning...”

"Hey hey hey..."

"Hey, who are you talking to?"

Before Lu Fengtang could speak, Bai Lao Wu walked over.

Holding a half-eaten cucumber in his hand, Bai Lao Wu pointed at General Zhu: "This is the kitchen, the kitchen is my territory."

>

“His name is Luo Fengtang, he’s a new recruit in our kitchen now, and also under Bai Lao Wu.”

>

"You want to arrest my men? Have you asked Old Five Bai about it?"

Old Bai's five great shouts, with spittle mixed with cucumber juice, sprayed General Zhu all over his face.

General Zhu wiped the dirt from his face, his expression so grim he almost fainted.

“A mere lowly soldier, daring to roar at our General Zhu…”

The one who said that was a small soldier under General Zhu.

Before that soldier could finish his words, Bai Lao Wu moved his arm.

Upon looking again, the soldier had been thrown three zhangs away.

He fell to the ground with a grunt and lay still.

Seeing this, Luo Fengtang was startled and turned his head to look at Bai Lao Wu's arm.

>

This guy, he's so strong!

Over there, General Zhu saw that Old Five Bai actually threw his own soldier right in front of him.

This is Ci Guo hitting him in the face!

“How is this possible? You’re shielding this deserter and even daring to injure my soldiers. This is insubordination…”

"You farted!"

The old man spoke in a five-channel voice.

He pointed at Luo Fengtang and said to General Zhu, "Cut the crap. Luo Fengtang now works for me, Old Five Bai. Even if he did something wrong, it's up to me, Old Five Bai, to punish him. It's none of your business to point fingers here."

>

"You..."

"What are you doing? Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, we won't be polite!"

Bai Lao Wu said, with an air of not being afraid of anything.
