Chapter 602 Three Obediences and Four Virtues(3)_1
"As for the strategy to attack the Meng slaves, no specific plan has been set yet, but I do share your hope for a quick resolution."
The two of them walked into Nangong Yi’s military tent as they talked.
The interior of his tent was simple, with no decorations whatsoever, only a basic table and a row of chairs. On the table, there was a teapot and several teacups, all of common quality. Besides that, there were brushes, ink, paper, and an ink-stone, as well as a sand table, obviously used for the generals to discuss military matters on a daily basis.
The two had walked through a curtain to reach Nangong Yi’s resting area. His bed was surprisingly made of wooden planks propped up on green bricks. The planks were not even, with hay spread over them. The bedding on top of the hay felt a bit damp and smelled musty. It was probably because he had to pack up every morning to hurry on his journey, causing the bedding to have no chance to be aired out. Cai Wei wrinkled her nose- she wondered how he could sleep on such bedding!
In front of the bed was a small table. Inside a rough ceramic bowl on the table was stewed cabbage without any broth. On top of it floated half-eaten corn mixed-flour buns and a few pieces of vegetable leaves. Cai Wei used chopsticks to stir it around and she didn’t find a single strip of meat.
"What happened to the beef sauce I cooked for you? Why are you eating this?"
Cai Wei pointed at the food on the table and felt a sudden surge of anger. He was the commander-in-chief of the army on which so many lives depended. Why couldn’t he take care of himself properly? What if he fell ill due to malnutrition or from eating cold food? What then would become of his army of 100,000 soldiers?
"Hm, I’ve been eating your beef sauce for the past few days, and at noon I wanted to eat something light."
Nangong Yi looked embarrassed and muttered an explanation to the young girl.
