One hundred and eighty-seven, thorns
Two months later, Chunfeng Building. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as Xiao Baoer sat down, someone brought food to the table, "I haven't started ordering food yet, are these wrong?" ”
Liu Lang smiled and pushed the door in, "These are dishes, but I have been visiting around for more than a year, don't you want to taste them?" Sweet potato corn kernels, pumpkin and walnut soup, chestnut roast chicken, vegetarian lotus root balls." ”
Of the four dishes, Xiao Baoer had eaten chestnut roast chicken, and never eaten the rest of the dishes, and she didn't even know that sweet potatoes could be cooked with corn.
"I haven't seen you for a year, how is Gongzi Cui?"
Liu Lang nodded, "It's okay, that is, I was tossed a little miserably on the day of Xia Zi's wedding." ”
On that day, Xia Zi was assassinated, and Liu Lang took the dance team to the Forbidden Palace, so naturally he had to be questioned by the guards.
Xiao Bao'er smiled and said nothing, although Xisu had withdrawn from the army, she was still an out-and-out wanted criminal, and it was naturally difficult to explain the situation in a place like Chunfeng Building.
Liu Lang drank tea with interest, but his eyes kept staring at Xiao Bao'er's chopsticks, and he smiled slightly when he saw that he really started with chestnut roast chicken, the only meat dish. Feng Gongzi is a true god and can guess anything.
"The chestnut soft meat is sweet and tastes better than chicken. This chestnut roast chicken is really wonderful with chestnuts as the main dish and chicken as the supplement. After listening to Xiao Baoer's praise, Liu Lang said: "The key to this dish is the processing of chestnuts, if you want the chestnuts to be soft and glutinous, you must cook them before frying." ”
Xiao Bao'er said "En", and then the chopsticks went to the vegetarian lotus balls.
Liu Lang continued: "Take a clay bowl, use a bamboo grate to cushion the bottom, pour the chicken pieces in the wok together with the soup, put it on a low fire and simmer until it is rotten, add the fried chestnut meat, and continue to simmer until it is soft and rotten. In this way, the chestnut absorbs the essence of the chicken, and it tastes very natural. ”
"The vegetarian lotus root balls are also good, and there is pepper in them. ”
Liu Lang nodded, and explained the cooking method of vegetarian lotus root balls again. Seemingly casually asked, "Princess, I don't know where Gongzi Feng is?"
"You're looking for him?"
"Cui has heard a little about the affairs of Beiliao, and he is really worried about the safety of the princess. ”
Xiao Baoer put down her chopsticks and looked at Liu Lang fixedly. The latter looked at each other at first, unable to stand the pressure she suddenly released, and gradually lowered his eyes and was silent.
"Don't say anything against your will, it's not a good thing for me to go back to Northern Liao for Great Xia. ”
Liu Lang let out a long sigh, got up and left silently.
He was entrusted by Yao Xitong to come to talk, but looking at Xiao Bao'er's appearance, he was afraid that he already knew that these dishes were all from Yao Xitong's hands. Such a smart person is the person Yao Xitong likes, and it is not a good thing for Daxia for these two people to get together.
The bustling Chunfeng Building is afraid that it will not be long before it will fall silent.
Xiao Bao'er asked people to withdraw the dishes, replace them with tea, and quietly wait for Yao Xitong to appear. She is a gourmet, she is used to Yao Xitong's craftsmanship, and knows that this person never pretends to cook from the selection of ingredients to cooking.
In other words, no matter what kind of dish, as long as it comes from Yao Xitong, there will be indelible traces. For example, the pumpkin and walnut soup has walnuts of the same size and similar texture. There are also sweet potato corn kernels, the size of the sweet potato kernels after the knife is changed, and it is his perfect temperament and knife work that he will choose such materials for cooking.
The time for a cup of tea passed, and Yao Xitong did not come.
The time of two teas passed, and the person still did not appear.
The third cup of tea, Xiao Bao'er picked it up lightly and put it down heavily. She is already an acute child, and it is not easy to wait for so long. The cup cracked in half when it was placed on the table, and the golden tea soup flowed down the edge of the table, and the ticking sound seemed to remind that time waits for no one.
Without waiting for the tea soup to drip, she was about to leave, but she saw Yao Xitong walking in, dressed in red and with a compelling demeanor.
But two months, goodbye is like a year.
Yao Xitong grabbed Xiao Bao'er and asked, "Do you believe in rhino incense?"
"Letter. ”
"Believe it or not, I can help you change your life?"
"I don't believe it. ”
"Why?"
Xiao Bao'er was silent.
In the past, in Zhongling County, Yao Xitong once broke a strange case. The young son of a wealthy local merchant was tied up, and he was instructed by a demixian to burn incense in a temple on the outskirts of the city to pray for prayer, and the young son was saved, but the rich merchant beat a drum to sue the temple that sold incense to him and the demixian who instructed him to burn incense.
She once talked to Zhu Zhigao about this case, and said that she was half-immortal and unreasonable. Zhu Zhigao said that the half-immortal was fake, and there was no supernatural person in this world who wanted her.
It was then that a seed of doubt was planted in her heart. Later, when he met Uncle He and learned Yao Xitong's true identity, the so-called change of life became an excuse to follow Yao Xitong.
Silence is often more useful than words, and Yao Xitong asked softly: "Do you believe in rhino incense?"
"Letter. ”
"Believe it or not, I can help you change your life?"
"I don't believe it. ”
"You should believe, as long as you believe it, I guarantee that nothing will happen in the dream of rhino incense. ”
"I trusted you. ”
"You might as well believe it again......" Without waiting for Yao Xitong to finish speaking, Xiao Bao'er said, "I ......" Yao Xitong pressed her red lips, "You don't know how to break the game, you've been waiting for me, right?" If the prophecy of the rhino incense comes true, I will die with you, and there is a companion on the Huangquan Road. ”
When it comes to this, in addition to being obedient, Xiao Baoer has no more choice. Yao Xitong is right, she can't let go of Beiliao, and she doesn't know how to deal with the current situation.
"Say, what now?"
Yao Xitong sat down by the window with a grin, "There is a few news for you. First, the palace of Uzbekistan was burned, the whereabouts of the lord of the country were unknown, and the people and officials voluntarily returned to Qidi. The Lord of Qi was panicked and sent people to Dadu to consult the new master. King Chun only said: Good. ”
"Second, Qingshan Jun Xuanze inherited the title of Lord of Song, was ordered to conquer all the forces that threatened Xia Zi, and is now managing the border soldiers and horses in Chendi. ”
"Third, the lord of Liang heard that the people were falling, and his son Wenren Hu inherited the title. ”
Xiao Baoer silently analyzed these pieces of news, and was sure that this catastrophe in Ukraine was inseparable from Yao Xitong, and the price Tian Ji paid was to regret his marriage.
King Chun was able to successfully board the plane and imprison Princess Huanting, and the price was to hand over the military power of Great Xia to Xuan Ze.
Feng Shu's coup was successful, and his son got the title of Lord Liang, but I am afraid that it will not be long before he will turn against King Chun.
"What do you say all this has to do with Northern Liao?"
"It's all good news, whether it is King Chun or the four tyrants, they can't interfere in the internal affairs of Northern Liao for the time being. The only enemies left are Sisu and Lumu. ”
After hearing so much, only the three words of the Lumu Department made Xiao Bao'er a little moved, "Do you still know the Lumu Ministry?"
Yao Xitong smiled, "Since I want to change my life, I naturally have to put in some effort, don't you say?"
There has never been a spring breeze in the Chunfeng Building, and the suitable weather in winter is inevitably a little depressed in summer.
Yao Xitong asked people to serve another pot of tea, but he refused to say anything, Xiao Baoer had to stand by the window and look at the rockery in the courtyard in a daze.
"Feng Gongzi, you followed me all the way but didn't say anything, why is that?"
"Qingshanjun is drinking with the garrison generals next door, don't you want to see the old man?" At first glance, when she heard that Xuan Ze was next door, Xiao Bao'er's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and she said for a long time, "I have nothing to say to him, and the Tao is different." ”
"What about you and me?
Xiao Bao'er knew that Yao Xitong would mention this matter, how could she answer? If there is no emotion, how can the two of them not feel at all after so many things. If you want to say that there are feelings, what she can give Yao Xitong is definitely not the love between men and women.
"I don't like to deceive, I can't give you what you want. ”
"Are those days and nights on the island fake?"
"The deeper the affection, the greater the possibility of unlocking the concentric Gu. Besides, I don't want to die and not know what it's like to be a man and a woman. ”
"How can you be so cruel?"
"The people of Northern Liao are all barbarians, cold and cruel by nature, you only know today?"
Yao Xitong easily calmed down, and because of Xiao Baoer's words, he faced a collapse again. To avoid a gaffe, he took a sip of tea soup and let the warm liquid slide down his throat to soothe his mind.
"Only you can save Northern Liao, are you willing to become the king of Northern Liao?"
"Yes. ”
Xiao Bao'er promised Wu Zu that if Nantuotuo couldn't succeed, she would return to Northern Liao to be king. But in this situation, how should she start? How can she make the tribe surrender, the people trust, and drive away Xisu?
"I have a way to help you solve your current predicament and help you become king, but you must promise me one thing. ”
Say. ”
"I am your husband, and you can only have me as a man in your life. ”
"No, I can't. Xiao Bao'er's answer angered Yao Xitong again, and he asked loudly: "Why not, could it be that you sold yourself again and promised to marry someone else?"
Xiao Bao'er didn't explain, "Time waits for no one, I should go, take care!" Seeing that she was about to push the door away, Yao Xitong grabbed her hand again, "You are simply the demon star of my life, I really don't know what to do with you." ”
"Leave here and hurry to Xisu, the horses and customs clearance documents have been prepared, this is the map of the palace. ”
The envoys of Xisu have already arrived in Northern Liao, shouldn't they sabotage at this time make it impossible for the two countries to sign an agreement?
"Why go to Xisu?"
Yao Xitong was rarely angry, "Breaking the agreement is not a cure, if you want to cure the root cause, the best way is to go to Xisu and kill all the people you hate." ”
Xiao Bao'er twisted her eyebrows into the word "Sichuan" and didn't think through Yao Xitong's intentions, "The war between the two countries is the root cause?"
"If you don't fight, how can you tell that you are better than Santo? If you don't fight, who knows that the fierce warriors of Northern Liao are no longer what they used to be, and the seemingly weak Xisu is enough to threaten the Northern Liao regime. ”
"This ...... Isn't it child's play to fight, isn't there any other way?"
"As far as I know, the crow holding the jade pendant has never subdued the arrogant soldiers brought out by Yelu Zongyuan, so you have to replace the crow and replace it with a butcher. If all the soldiers and horses of Northern Liao are living in the glorious glory of the past, how many butchers can you replace, and how can the team be united to defend against foreign enemies?"
"You mean that this battle will be lost, and I will not be able to go back until then to win the hearts of the people?
"Isn't that a good thing that Santo won? You don't want this throne anyway, and Santo has proved that he is more suitable to be a king than Nantuotuo, isn't it all happy?"
"Santo killed my father, such a person is not worthy of virtue. ”
"Joke, which path to the top of the right is not bloodless?"
Xiao Baoer was too lazy to argue with Yao Xitong, she only blamed Nan Tuotuo for not being angry, and he couldn't sit down steadily.
"Okay, I'll go to Xisu to kill people, how much do you think killing can cause disputes between the two countries?"
Yao Xitong waved his hand to signal Xiao Bao'er's misunderstanding, "The dispute between the two countries is not caused by assassination, I will let you assassinate the people of the Lord and the People, and leave the presumptuous main battle faction without revealing their whereabouts." ”
"And after that?"
"The war between the two countries is on the verge of breaking out, and whether it is fought or not depends on information gathering. Xisu has long been accustomed to getting information about Northern Liao from the Lumu Department, and then we will go to Kebogra to find a way to make the elves of the grassland disappear completely. ”
first disturbed the Xisu court, then attacked the Lumu Department, and waited for the war between Xisu and Northern Liao to break out before returning to Northern Liao to lead the army to level Xisu.
"The idea is good, but it's a pity that the Lumu Department is more difficult than you imagined, and the Northern Liao soldiers and horses can detect the slightest change in the Lumu Department, such an opponent is even more troublesome than Xisu. ”
"Leave this matter to me, you just go to Xisu to assassinate, and we will meet in this room in a month's time. ”
Yao Xitong said it very easily, but Xiao Baoer didn't believe that he had such a great ability, and couldn't help asking: "You don't even understand Northern Liao, so you want to set off a big wind and waves in the grassland, okay?"
"Xiaoxiao, don't you know if I can do it?"
Xiao Bao'er paused for a moment, and squeezed out a word from between her teeth, "Get out!"
A few days of walking north along Pudabara is considered to have entered the territory of Xisu.
Xiao Bao'er rode alone, dressed as a herdsman, and took advantage of the night to blend into the Xisu Royal City. It is deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and the urban pattern is very similar to that of the Imperial Palace.
Yao Xitong gave her the names and addresses of more than 20 officials, and she didn't look at them, and went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom first.
This woman sent Wan Yan Yu to design the King of Northern Liao and raised Wan Yan Zhao...... Many years later, he used Yan Zhao to make her embarrassed, which is really unforgivable.
One night later, all the maids in the Empress Dowager's bedroom were killed, and their heads were neatly stacked beside her bed, dark red blood covering her bed like a carpet.
Xiao Baoer finally held back and didn't attack the Queen Mother. The most brutal way to deal with the enemy is to destroy everything they care about, and she wants to make the Lumu tribe disappear from the steppe while the Empress Dowager is alive, and lead a large army to break through the royal city of Xisu.
The bloody case in the palace put the whole city of Xisu under martial law, and it became very difficult to kill the twenty people on Yao Xitong's list at once. She is not afraid, unless those people hide in the palace every day and do not go out, once there are no guards, killing those people is as simple as pinching the ants to death.
The impulsive accident caused Xiao Bao'er to be five days later than originally planned, and when she returned to Chunfeng Tower, Yao Xitong had already left, and the person waiting for her had turned into a monkey.
I haven't seen it for half a year, and the monkey's fur is bald and has a lot of pieces, and it looks like he has lost a lot of weight, but his spirit is very good. According to him, Dang Tuo had successfully escaped from the Great Xia military camp with 3,000 brothers two months ago, and is currently wandering around the grassland.
"Princess, Feng Gongzi's words are right, if we can help you defeat the Lumu Department this time, we will be able to gain a firm foothold in Beiliao and not embarrass you. ”
"Have you seen him?
