Chapter 50: The Tournament
Ye Chundong, Xu Heng is generally used to calling Aunt Ye.
Ye Chundong is nominally the number one chef in charge of the food of the Qi Palace, but his actual status is more than that. Even the nominal "managers" under Xu Bojian are like this.
And among the six managers, Ye Chundong is still a conscientious figure. has the name of the general manager, and at the same time, he also manages the food and drink of nearly 100 people up and down the entire palace in an orderly manner, that is, he is cold and glamorous, and from head to toe reveals a temperament that is incompatible with the palace;
What's even more weird is that since Ye Chundong appeared in front of Xu Heng, the appearance of the whole person has not changed: when Xu Heng was young, Ye Chundong looked like a young woman of twenty-four or five, and more than twenty years later, she still looks like this.
The delicate face is not powdered, the goose egg face, the head is combed with a meticulous cloud bun, with a golden hairpin inserted on it, wearing a moon-white skirt, and a cyan palace silk tied around the waist.
Whether she is summer or winter, she is always dressed in this dress, this look. Nearly 20 years later, it's still the same.
There was nothing wrong with Xu Heng calling her Aunt Ye when she was a child, but now that she is weak, facing a woman who looks about the same age as herself, she can't call her Aunt Ye again.
But Xu Heng still called her Aunt Ye. First, it is a matter of habit, and secondly, the other party doesn't seem to care much about what he calls her.
Xu Heng is still Ye Chundong's favorite child, when she was a child, she occasionally cooked snacks for him when she was in a good mood, but she only seemed to like herself when she was a child, and as he got bigger and bigger, there were fewer and fewer opportunities like this.
After nearly twenty years of contact, Xu Heng's impression of Aunt Ye is only these. It seems that there is nothing special about this woman except that she does not grow old and has a cold temperament. You can easily make the whole palace eat and drink neatly every day, and no one will be able to find her after that, unless she is specifically looking for you.
And now, Aunt Ye seems to like listening to the snow very much? Xu Heng thought of the delicious snacks that the cold woman had made for herself at that time, and he couldn't help but yearn for it in his heart.
"Brother, brother, will that sister really make me something to eat?"
Xu Heng's own story when he was a child told a girl, Shangguan Tingxue heard that Aunt Ye would make snacks for herself, and she was immediately not afraid of anything, and began to yearn for that snack: "Is it as delicious as Uncle Huang in Xijing City?"
During that time in Xijing City, the loyal fans of the housekeeper Lao Huang added a greedy girl in addition to Xu Heng Susu, every time Lao Huang made shortbread and tea, the two girls could quickly eat most of the half, Xu Heng had to do his best to be stronger than two pieces of shortbread under the hands of the two foodies.
Looking at the girl's salivating appearance, Xu Heng couldn't help but smile, touched the girl's head, and said with a smile: "My brother ate it when he was a child, and he almost forgot what it tasted like, but he just remembered that it was delicious, and it should be almost as delicious as Uncle Huang's shortbread." ”
"Great!" the girl jumped excitedly.
……
Qinghexuan is built in a bamboo forest, is a quiet and quiet place, its interior decoration is carved and simple, very charming, ordinary are used to entertain elegant guests, put the wind banquet here, I don't know whether it is Xu Bojian or whose idea. Anyway, where is it, Xu Heng never pays attention to it, just sit down and eat. Qinghexuan is Qinghexuan, and on the way to Qinghexuan, you can also browse many famous landscapes in the palace, which is very good.
At this moment, when Xu Heng and Shangguan Tingxue came to Qinghexuan, the banquet in Xuanzhong had not yet begun. The wave of people who arrived early did not wait for Xu Heng's brothers and sisters in their seats, but stood outside the Xuan.
There was a clearing outside the Xuan, and Pu Feng and You Zishi were standing in the clearing, each holding an emerald green bamboo pole, quietly confronting each other. Seeing Xu Heng coming out of the bamboo path, the two of them seemed to have heard of it. It's the critical moment of the competition.
Xu Heng was far away from the two of them, so he took his righteous sister to stop, and looked at the two people facing each other like a group of people opposite.
The bamboo pole in Pu Feng's hand is gone, only a smooth trunk remains, the bamboo pole is mostly half a person high, and Pu Feng is placed diagonally on the left side of his body in the posture of holding a sword in his left hand;
There is no competition at all, and there is no confrontation that does not matter.
Xu Heng shook his head, looked at the people watching the battle on the other side, and found that Ye Chundong was not among them, and he didn't see a figure when he looked at Xuanzhong, he glanced at the girl next to him with his spare eyes, and saw that she was looking at the confrontation in the arena with a nervous face, and he was sure that the mysterious Aunt Ye was really gone.
The two were still facing off on the field, but no one except for the two children and the chicks of the rivers and lakes who were watching the game cared about the outcome of the competition. Even the two people facing each other didn't care.
But the bamboos have been pulled out, and the posture has been put out, and it is not very good not to move twice. So at a certain moment, the man in black with a grim expression suddenly made a move!
At the same time, the strong man was not far behind, and he pulled out the bamboo in an instant.
The fighting spirit was fleeting.
Two bamboo poles turned into two green rays and shot out, across the open space in front of Xuan, almost simultaneously shot into the bamboo forest, the two bamboo poles staggered each other, obliquely inserted on the ground, into the soil one foot, the snow white big cat locked in the middle.
The two of them shot too fast, but everyone present was a master. At the same time as the two bamboo poles were lowered into the ground, the eyes of several people also chased after them. Seeing the snow-white big cat shaking in the two bamboo poles, Xu Heng was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled bitterly.
After testing the martial arts of the Bladeless Sword Master, You Zishi no longer had any contempt. put away his proud look, and solemnly hugged his fist towards the man in black: "The bladeless sword master really lives up to his reputation, the sword technique is bladeless and clumsy, You admire!"
"Commander You's internal strength is strong and violent, but his shot is round and flexible, and he can fuse rigidity and softness to this point, and he is also quite admired in the next!"
And if you are surprised, the most surprised person is Pu Feng. As soon as they met, he felt that the other party's martial arts were very high, but he didn't expect it to be so high, among the people he had seen, You Zishi was better than many elders of famous sects in the rivers and lakes, and he was slightly weaker than the Xuanyuan Sword Master.
Isn't it a bit condescending to be such a master who is a character on the rivers and lakes to be the head of the guard in the Qi Palace?
There are naturally other people's reasons for what others do, Pu Feng didn't want to guess nonsense, so he didn't want to expose this place, and set his eyes on the middle of the bamboo forest.
Two bamboo poles suddenly passed by, trapping the big cat that was running and playing in the bamboo forest in the bamboo pole cage, and the snow-white big cat was extremely frightened, and it is still trembling in fright.
