Chapter 288: Drinking on the top of the attic

At this time, Qiu Yue saw countless arrow towers appear outside the city wall, and arrows rained down on the castle tower. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It turned out that the Song army built a mobile arrow tower that was higher than the city tower, and after advancing to the range of the bow and arrow, it fired arrows from the arrow tower above the Jinyang City Tower to the city tower defenders, so that the height advantage of the defenders on the city tower was lost. Fortunately, the number of archers on the arrow tower is not large, and the defenders have wall battlements to dodge, and they can't release arrows after the Great Song army attacks the city tower, so as not to injure their own people by mistake, so the damage to the soldiers on the city tower is not too great.

Then, there was a huge roar, and Qiuyue saw a huge boulder parabola flying up the city tower and smashing heavily on the city wall, smashing people into flesh and blood, and the entire battlements of the city wall were smashed, but it turned out that the Song army used a giant stone throwing machine.

The scene was even more tragic, but the soldiers defending the city seemed to have gained experience in dealing with catapults, hiding under the walls or on the roadways to avoid being hit by boulders. Because when the catapult attacked, the besieging soldiers could not attack the city wall, lest they be hit by the boulders thrown by themselves.

After the boulder of the stone thrower stopped, the soldiers defending the city immediately rushed up the tower again and engaged in a fierce battle with the Song army that had come up with a ladder.

Qiu Yue was very nervous, but fortunately the crown princess in her arms couldn't see it really, otherwise she would definitely not be able to bear to witness such a tragic scene.

This time, they were not as panicked as they were when they learned that the Song army had launched a strong attack, and seeing the situation of the defenders from the attic, Qiu Yue concluded that in the face of such a well-trained and tenacious defender, it would be very difficult for the Song army to break the city in a short time, so there was no need to be nervous.

The siege of the Song army lasted for half a day, and finally stopped, as if it saw that there was no hope of breaking the city, and there was a need for a new adjustment strategy, so they withdrew. The shouting of killing gradually stopped.

At this moment, the people at the gate of the barracks are lining up to buy food, and all the food is transferred to the barracks, and the people can only buy food from the barracks, and there is a limit. However, this has the advantage of being controlled by the army, which is sold in rations to ensure that everyone has a share, so the people in the city are not so alarmed.

The crown princess turned to Qiu Yue and said, "I'm hungry." ā€

"Let's go cook. ā€

The two of them went down to the attic to the back kitchen. Seeing the things in the kitchen, the crown princess was very fresh, touching this and that, it seemed that she had never seen it before.

It's no wonder that she is the crown princess in the palace, and she doesn't need to cook at all, even after Natu returns to the rivers and lakes, there are a large number of palace maids to follow, and she never has to worry about eating, but now, she wants to have enough food and clothing.

It's just that she doesn't know how to start, and she doesn't even know how to cook raw rice into rice, and how to fry lettuce into fragrant dishes.

Qiu Yue used to eat in the canteen when she was in the hospital, and she never cooked, but fortunately, in the year she came back, she often helped her mother work in the kitchen, so she knew how to cook and stir-fry, and her mother sometimes let her learn to fry, so the basic methods still know.

Now it doesn't matter what the taste is, cook the meal first. So, she said to Qiu Yue, "I'll do it for you first." ā€

Saying that, Qiu Yue first raised the fire, began to wash the rice, and then put it in the Ding jar, added an appropriate amount of water, and covered the pot.

Then he washed the meat and cut it into slices, prepared the condiments, and then took a pot of washed cabbage and turnips.

The crown princess saw that everything she did was very novel. At this time, the rice in the pot wafted out of the aroma of rice, she hurried over, stirred the rice evenly with a rice spoon, and waited until the water in the rice was almost collected and half dry, then she withdrew the fire, and slowly simmered the rice with the remaining coals from the fire.

Then, she added clear oil to the iron pan on the side, and after the oil was hot, she began to stir-fry.

Stir-fried one meat and one vegetable, two people don't need to fry too much.

When the dish is fried, the rice is also suffocated.

The crown princess happily hugged her waist from behind and said, "You are really amazing, you can do anything, now I am relieved." You teach me, and I'll do it tomorrow. ā€

"Okay, let's eat, I'll teach you tomorrow. ā€

When the meal was served, Qiu Yue said, "It would be beautiful to have a good glass of wine." ā€

The crown princess stroked her palm and said, "That's it." The joy of our housewarming is also the beginning of a new life for the two of us, let's go and see if there is any wine. ā€

So the two rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find wine to drink, until they found the cellar, and found that there was a small door, and after opening it, there was a wine cellar inside, and more than ten jars of wine were neatly arranged.

The autumn moon patted the mud seal of a jar of wine, and a smell of wine wafted out, which made people feel refreshed. When he saw a bamboo wine next to him, he took it and scooped it up, took a sip, wiped his mouth and said, "Yes, it's very sweet, you can taste it." ā€

The crown princess scooped it up, took a sip, and said, "It's really good wine, it's good now." ā€

The cellar has a shelf with various flasks and glasses.

The crown princess took a bronze wine jug, handed it to Qiu Yue, and made a pot of wine, and the crown princess took two bronze wine glasses from the shelf, which happened to be matching, which looked antique.

The crown princess said: "This wine vessel is imitation, not a real Western Zhou thing, you can know it at a glance." However, the level of imitation is not bad, and it is quite ancient to be able to drink with this thing. ā€

The two of them held the wine bottle and the wine glass, and went out of the cellar and returned to the dining room.

The crown princess said: "It's better to take it to the attic, and enjoy the scenery while drinking." ā€

So the two of them took the tray, carried the dishes and rice, and carried the wine up to the attic on the third floor.

Qiu Yue rolled her eyes and said to the crown princess, "Do you want to go to the roof of the attic to drink?"

The crown princess sighed and said excitedly: "Okay, good, but how to go up?"

Autumn Moon winked at her, walked to the window, and threw a zipline with a whoosh, hanging on a corner of the eaves of the attic. grabbed the slender waist of the crown princess, tightened and said, "Close your eyes, I'll take you up." ā€

The crown princess hugged her neck tightly, her delicate body clinging to her, and closed a pair of beautiful eyes.

Qiu Yue's hand was strong, and the two of them were as light as flying swallows, swinging an arc, crossing the eaves and landing on the roof.

Qiu Yue is a fourth-level green qi powerhouse at the moment, and she can already step on the snow without a trace with her light skills, although she fell on the roof tiles with the crown princess, let alone stepping on the broken tiles, she didn't even make a light creaking sound.

Then he went up to the top of the attic on the beam.

The building is a square structure, connected by a horizontal beam on both sides, wide enough to accommodate one person and still have room for it.

Qiu Yue placed the crown princess on the roof beam, and then said, "You can open your eyes." ā€

The crown princess slowly opened her eyes, and saw that she was already on the roof, with beams only a foot wide under her feet, and sloping roofs on either side. As long as she stepped on the air, she would definitely slide down and fall under the third floor, and she would be seriously injured if she didn't die, which scared her so much that she couldn't help hugging Qiu Yue, and her body kept shaking.

Autumn Moon giggled, reaching out to sweep the snow away from the beams on the ground. Hold her, let her squat down, and then say, "You close your eyes and don't move, I'll go and bring up the food, you must not move, otherwise you will be in trouble if you fall below." ā€

The crown princess regretted her impulsiveness a little and agreed to come up to the roof to drink, which now seems to be not a good idea. But at this point, she had no choice but to nod her head.

After Qiu Yue helped her squat, she threw out the zipline, turned over and went down to the attic again, put the food in the box, and then grabbed a soft futon. easily turned over to the roof and came to the beam, and saw that the princess was still squatting there nervously, holding the beam with both hands, and closing her eyes tightly.

Qiu Yue put the futon on the beam, helped her sit down and said, "Okay, the things are here, you can open your eyes." Don't worry, I'm by your side, even if you deliberately want to jump off the building, you can't jump, I will bring you back. So you can rest assured that you don't have to worry about falling off. ā€

The crown princess opened her eyes at this time, carefully sat down on the futon, watched Qiu Yue take out the food from the food box, put it on the beam, and then sat cross-legged on the beam, poured two glasses of wine and handed it to her: "Come, drink." ā€

Seeing that Qiu Yue was so calm, the crown princess was relieved. Gritting his teeth, he took the wine from her hand and drank it down. The hot and hot kept fanning his little hands in front of his mouth, causing Qiu Yue to giggle non-stop.

The crown princess looked at her with disgust: "People rarely drink, what'......s so funny about it" A cold wind blew, and she shivered.

Qiu Yue turned over and landed lightly on the half futon behind her, holding her in her arms.

Only then did the crown princess lean on Qiu Yue with satisfaction. Qiu Yue took the food and brought it to her mouth, she chewed it while closing her eyes and said, "Your craftsmanship is really good, even better than the palace kitchen." I really didn't mean to praise you, I was telling the truth. I like to eat the dishes you cook. ā€

What the crown princess said was indeed true. The meals she ate in the palace were all elaborately crafted, but there had never been such home-cooked dishes. She has never eaten it before, and it feels very fresh, plus this is made by her sweetheart, and she loves the house and Wu, and the feeling is very different, so the food is extra sweet in her mouth.

While eating, the two talked and looked at the snow-covered Jinyang City. The crown princess lay in Qiuyue's arms, warm as spring despite the cold wind.

And at this moment, there was another palpitating sound of horns from the castle tower. The Great Song army attacked again.

………………

The Northern Han soldiers defending the city found that this attack was different from the previous two. -- The Great Song army held shields, and the moat bows and arrows that marched forward in a neat formation stopped beyond the range of the arrows. And did not take a strong attack, it seems to be waiting for something.

Dozens of strong men wearing uniform pale yellow robes suddenly appeared in the team, carrying a long ladder, rushing to the moat, erecting on the moat, and rushing through the moat along the ladder to the city wall.

Arrows immediately rained down on the castle tower, but the blades in the hands of these people flashed with a green or cyan aura, forming a shield of qi and bouncing away the arrows that came from them.

When they arrived at the city wall, they kicked forward with both feet, and then inserted into the rammed earth city wall, just like when the autumn moon went down the city wall before, the two ** substitutes, both with a vigorous breath, kicked into the city wall, as if stepping on the ladder, hands and feet at the same time, only with one hand of the blade to shoot the bow and arrow and the rolling wood stone smashed down, and then quickly climbed to the city wall.

The Northern Han soldiers in the city were stunned, these people could not only open the flying arrows, but also the stones and rolling logs that fell down were all knocked away by their blades, which was simply terrifying. Seeing that they were gradually approaching the top of the castle tower, they were immediately a little panicked, and some soldiers brought the burning crude oil and poured it down. But these people only dodged with a flicker, and continued to climb up the ladder from another place, only a few were occasionally hit by the drench, screaming and falling off the wall, and the rest of the dozens quickly climbed the wall.

The Great Song army under the city suddenly let out earth-shattering cheers.
