Chapter 270: Severed Fingers (Orchid Leaves, Spring Leaves, Flowers, Osmanthus, Autumn Flowers, Autumn Bright Cleanliness, and Clan's Bijiachang)
Riding out of Beijing all the way, watching pedestrians coming in and out, Minglan wanted to hum a small tune happily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It had only been a few days since a heavy snowfall had melted, but as soon as the weather warmed up, tender yellow grass emerged from the cracks in the ground that had withered for a cold winter, and shivered in the wind.
For a piece of greenery, Minglan didn't feel pity, but with such a small grass, she was reluctant to be trampled on.
Chu Li's horse is a rare horse of thousands of miles, running like the wind, and she was held in Chu Li's arms again, although it was bumpy, it was not uncomfortable.
When I arrived at the beautiful scenery, I walked leisurely, I couldn't sit still, so I got off the horse and walked slowly, and kept moving forward, I don't know how long I walked, Minglan was thirsty and hungry.
The two of them only had one horse, and there was nothing else, she looked at Chu Li and said, "There is a tea stall at the fork in front, the noodles taste good, let's go eat noodles." ”
Chu Li looked at Minglan in surprise, "How do you know?"
How did she know?
Of course, she didn't know until she had eaten it, but she was a beautiful girl, and she rarely even saw the gate of Kyoto, so how could she go so far to eat noodles, so she said, "Listen to what Daddy said." ”
Chu Li has known Minglan for a long time, and he knows her a little, but if she hesitates to answer, nine times out of ten she is lying, he touched the horsehair and said, "The tea stall is not far from the post station, and there are very few officials who rest at the tea stall." ”
Minglan looked at Chu Li in astonishment, is there a post station?
Why doesn't she remember?
Chu Li's eyes dimmed a little, and then he heard Minglan say, "You lied to me, there is a post station in the thirty miles of the Great Zhou, and we didn't run thirty miles at all." ”
"Are you sure you haven't?" he laughed.
Minglan's clear eyes blinked, a little hesitant, there will be no post station in two years, it doesn't mean that there is no now, sometimes I feel that the post station is not necessary, or the place where it is placed is not suitable will be demolished, so I shook my head.
Chu Li didn't speak, put his arm around Minglan's waist and got on the horse, and went straight to the tea stall.
The tea stall is not far away, and it takes a quarter of an hour to ride a horse.
The tea stall is located at the intersection of two forks, the location is excellent, there are eight tables, only two are empty, and the rest have guests, or drinking tea, or telling the young man to ask for some food, and there is a hurry to urge, "Man, the food is faster!"
While remembering the dishes, the young man replied, "The dishes are already burning, wait a minute, and send it immediately." ”
Afraid that the guests would be impatient, the young man poured him a cup of tea before he entered the house.
When you get closer, you can smell the aroma of the food, which makes your mouth relish.
After Chu Li dismounted, he helped Minglan down, and a young man came over to help tie the horse and asked them to sit inside.
Minglan walked in front, and more than a dozen men in black clothes came over there, Minglan subconsciously gave way, and then ......
The only two remaining tables in the tea stall were occupied by them, and Minglan stood there a little restrained, looking at Chu Li and not knowing what to do.
The young man smiled and said, "This way, please." ”
Minglan followed him, and the young man walked to a table where a man was seated, wiped it with a towel on his shoulder, and said, "Two of you sit down first, whatever you want to eat, it's written on the top sign, and if you think about it, call me to be." ”
As he spoke, he poured tea for her and Chu Li.
Minglan was thirsty, so he drank the tea, Chu Li didn't move, although he couldn't see his face, but obviously, with his identity as the prince of the king, he should be very disgusted.
After drinking a bowl, he still felt that it was not enough to quench his thirst, so he poured another bowl, only to find that Chu Li was staring at a few men in black clothes over there.
Such a dress, coupled with the large number of people, is really attention-grabbing.
Minglan looked at it a few more times, and also noticed that something was wrong, he was dressed like the person who was chasing and killing them on the day of the Lantern Festival, and if he looked closely, he seemed to be able to see a few familiar faces.
"They ....... ”
Minglan only said a few words, and was clenched by Chu Li, he signaled Minglan not to speak, but Minglan was held by him and his cheeks were crimson, this guy likes to move his hands and feet more and more, he doesn't want her to speak, shake his head, can't he, he has to pinch his hand, just pinch it, and don't let go!
There's someone else at this table!
Minglan blushed like a glow, and pulled his hand back with a swish, and the man sitting next to him saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth hooked.
Chu Li is a person who practices martial arts, her ears and eyes are clear, and she can hear the whispers of assassins a few meters away, Minglan may not be able to hear clearly even if she is close, she is now thinking about eating, looking at the menu, ordering two bowls of noodles and a few plates of side dishes.
The young man answered, and went into the back kitchen to pass the food.
Minglan sat on the side, really bored, she had no intention of catching a glimpse of the man's hand on the side, and was directly stunned.
The man's right hand had only four fingers, and the little finger was broken.
Minglan glanced at it a few more times, the man's brows furrowed, and he said a little unpleasantly, "Is it too rude for the girl to stare at Xiaosheng like this?"
Minglan's face was red, she just felt a little familiar, and she couldn't remember it for a while before she looked at it twice, she didn't mean anything else, but she was pointed out in public, her neck was red, and she said, "Is Childe from Jinju, a single name?"
The man's brows furrowed even more, "How does the girl know my name?"
At this moment, even Chu Li looked at Minglan, and his enchanting phoenix eyes flashed with doubt.
Minglan looked at him, his lips were revealed, and he said, "The family teacher is proficient in divination, especially good at observing people's faces, although I am a daughter, but I also know a little bit about it. ”
The corners of Chu Li's mouth twitched violently, this woman's ability to make nonsense is really not small.
The man laughed and said, "That girl is blind, but she is not talented." ”
Minglan also smiled, "Why should Childe be modest. ”
The man glanced at Minglan and then at Chu Li, but he didn't suspect that the two were liars, they were dressed extraordinarily, especially the blood jade bracelet on the girl's wrist, which was priceless, and the identities of the two were either rich or expensive, so there was no need to lie to him.
He laughed at himself and said, "A scholar who has been banned from the exam for ten years will starve to death on the day he can't carry the top prize in the exam." ”
With that, the man put the brass plate on the table and walked away.
As soon as he left, a young man came over to clean up the table.
Chu Li frowned, and asked Minglan with his eyes, Minglan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Broken finger champion Yuan Gongzice, I don't remember what the surname is, in my dream, you rebelled, he is your military advisor." ”
Chu Li, "......." ”
Looking at Chu Li's shocked face, Minglan was a little drunk.
She didn't expect Chu Li to know Gongzi Ce at this time, but he was the champion with a broken finger and a military advisor, so it is needless to say that he learned strategy, because he broke his finger back then, the title of champion almost fell on the head of the list, and the emperor firmly appointed him as the champion when he said "the champion with a broken finger, passed down through the ages".
It's just that she didn't expect him to be banned from the exam for ten years, but she didn't hear why he was banned from the exam, anyway, the final champion was his.
Chu Li glanced at the man, thoughtful.
A woman sat at the next table, got up and walked across from Minglan, and said, "The girl is good at reading people's faces, can you show me too?"
Minglan, "....... ”
Chu Li sneered.
