Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Chapter 16

After putting the vegetables and tableware in the kitchen, Feng Qingyi carried some snacks into her own room.

When she had just bought them, she had bought two portions of everything. After dividing the snacks, Feng Qingyi sent the portion she had bought for Qin Yuchuan over to him.

Qin Yuchuan heard the notification sound from his phone and successfully received the snacks Feng Qingyi had sent over.

However, when he saw the table piled high with colorful bags, he was a bit confused. She had bought so many, where were they going to put all these?

Right at that moment, Yan Yang came in to see Qin Yuchuan for some matter, and caught sight of the pile of unfamiliar things on the table.

Qin Yuchuan wanted to hide them, but it was clear that Yan Yang had already seen them, so there was no point in hiding them anymore.

"General, all these things came from the little box, didn't they?"

Qin Yuchuan lightly tapped the table. How did Yan Yang know these things were from the phone? Could he have seen something?

"Where did you hear about it?"

Yan Yang did not avoid the question, "During your lunch today, I, Yan Chi, and Na Muqi secretly saw it, though they insisted on calling me over."

"You saw it secretly?" Has his vigilance dropped lately? Three people saw it secretly, and he didn't even notice!

Yan Yang nodded, "Perhaps you were too engrossed in your meal to notice us, General."

Qin Yuchuan: "..."

"General, are all these things on the table edible? Can you give me some?"

Yan Yang had completely forgotten that he had come to report a situation to Qin Yuchuan, his attention fully drawn by the colorful snacks on the table.

Qin Yuchuan threw him a bag of chips, "Alright, you may leave now."

Holding a large bag of chips, Yan Yang happily prepared to return to his tent.

However, on the way, Yan Chi and Na Muqi saw him and stopped him.

"What are you carrying?" Na Muqi asked.

Yan Yang hugged the chips protectively, "The General rewarded me with these. If you want some, go ask the General yourselves."

"...Can you not answer the question? I'm asking you what these are," said Na Muqi.

Yan Chi seemed to understand Yan Yang well, "Na Mu, don't bother asking him. From what I can see, they must be edible, or he wouldn't be guarding them so tightly, afraid someone might snatch them from him."

Na Muqi grabbed Yan Yang, "We're not going to take them from you. Just open it and let us see what kind of food it is."

Yan Yang was no match for Na Muqi. He didn't understand why Na Muqi, a scholar, had more physical strength than him, a guard.

But he knew that at this point, he couldn't escape, so he had to obey.

However, the question was how to open these edibles.

Seeing Yan Yang hesitating, Yan Chi directly snatched the chips from him and easily tore open the bag.

The three of them were drawn to the chips. Yan Yang was the first to take one and put it in his mouth.

"These are so delicious! You said you wouldn't take them from me, just have a look."

Yan Yang tried to snatch the chips back from Yan Chi, but he dodged him.

After Yan Yang had tested the chips, Yan Chi and Na Muqi also took a few and ate them.

"Not bad indeed!" exclaimed Na Muqi.

Yan Chi took a few more, "The taste is great, crispy and flavorful."

The chips that Yan Yang had shamelessly asked for were divided between Na Muqi and Yan Chi, leaving Yan Yang with just a few pieces, as he couldn't outcompete the other two.

"Yan Yang, does the General have any more? I'll go take a look!" Na Muqi asked.

Yan Yang left without a word, fuming. Next time he got something delicious, he would definitely hide it well. These two were simply untrustworthy, going back on their word of just looking!

When Na Muqi found Qin Yuchuan, the General was reading a book, and the snacks on the table had already been put away.

"What is it?" Recalling their actions during lunch, Qin Yuchuan did not show him a friendly face. He knew Na Muqi must have been the instigator.

Na Muqi smiled awkwardly, "Just now Yan Yang got some food from you, General. I was wondering if you had any more?"

If not, he could just get some more from the little box!

"No." So he still wanted to ask for food!

Na Muqi continued, "Then when will you have more, General? Save me a bag, I don't need too many, just one bag."

"...If you have nothing else, don't linger here. Leave." He himself hadn't even eaten any, and this guy was already placing an order.

Na Muqi had to leave Qin Yuchuan's tent reluctantly. Seeing him come out, Yan Chi asked, "Na Mu, how was it, any left?"

"The General said there's none left, but I think it's likely he just wants to eat them himself. Let's sneak into his tent when he's out and take a look, see if we can get some."

Yan Chi did not agree with Na Muqi's suggestion, "Na Mu, you're an adult already, and you're coming up with these childish ideas. If the General finds out, you're doomed."

"Isn't the General playing favorites? Why does that dimwit Yan Yang get to have them while we don't? You and Yan Yang have been with the General for so many years, and he clearly treats Yan Yang better. Aren't you upset?"

"...Why would I be upset? The General takes better care of him because he's simple-minded."

Yan Chi and Na Muqi were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice the person behind them.

This was the first time Qin Yuchuan saw someone discussing how to sneak into his tent and steal his things when he was away, right outside his tent.

And the instigator was even the highly respected military strategist in the camp. Did they think he was deaf?

"Yan Chi, what about you, are you in? If you come with me, I'll take the blame if we get caught," Na Muqi continued to persuade Yan Chi to join him.

Unlike the gullible Yan Yang, Yan Chi was not so easily fooled, and he was also well aware of his position.

He was just a guard, but Na Muqi was a military strategist. If they really got caught, it would be him, not Na Muqi, who would take the blame. He wasn't going to do such a thankless task.

"Na Mu, if you want to go, go ahead. What kind of food don't we have back in Shengjing? No need to be so fixated on this."

Seeing Yan Chi unmoved, Na Muqi had to play his trump card, "Yan Chi, if you don't join me, I'll tell the General about your gambling incident!"

"...Na Muqi, although gambling is prohibited in the military camp, I remember you also participated. Are you trying to harm the enemy by eight hundred and harm yourself by a thousand?"

"As a military strategist, you're taking the lead in violating the rules, which seems even more serious than my situation."

They were so grown up! He still threatened him at the slightest provocation, but he was not flustered. At worst, the two of them would be punished together.

"You've become too arrogant! Gambling with the intention of theft, from today onwards, you two will be responsible for washing dishes in the mess hall until we return to Shengjing."

Qin Yuchuan's voice drifted over from behind the two of them.
