Yao Xitong woke up to find that the monkey was gone, which was a completely unexpected result. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 He yelled at Xiao Bao'er angrily, "Isn't he your apprentice, why do you want to let him go?"

"I can do whatever I want with my stuff, and I need your permission?"

"Xiaoxiao, don't forget what you promised me?"

"It's just a monkey, it's a trivial matter, and you can't change your life if you let him go?"

The longer they get along, the more Yao Xitong is unsure of Xiao Baoer's temperament, sometimes extremely obedient, sometimes extremely rude, and it is difficult to get along.

"Princess, the little things in your eyes may not be small things, can you say hello in advance when you make a decision?" Seeing that the monkey had run away, he added: "The monkey is gone, don't forget to tell me the secret you promised me." ”

Xiao Bao'er mysteriously motioned to Yao Xitong to come over, "I just learned a secret, the Empress Dowager is actually a member of the Sima family, I can't imagine it!"

Yao Xitong really wanted to find a piece of tofu and kill her, the Empress Dowager's surname Sima is a well-known secret in the world, how did she get to Xiao Bao'er It became a new thing! Originally, I thought she had hidden a hand, and deliberately pretended not to know the Sima family, but it turned out that she really didn't know.

"Look at your calm face, you know this?"

"I heard about it, but I didn't expect it to be true. Why are you interested in this, didn't you say that night you didn't know about the Sima family?"

Xiao Bao'er scratched her head and looked at him left and right. Yao Xitong asked, "You asked Su Su, right?"

"I don't care, I don't know it's a secret, I don't owe you anyway!" The weak-hearted person spoke very loudly, and Su Su came over when he heard the voice, "Master, what's wrong with you, you muttered for a long time, but what did Su Su do wrong?"

Yao Xitong diverted the topic, "It's nothing, I blame her for letting the monkey go." ”

Su Su said: "I heard that Lord Yexi was no match for gluttony, but thanks to the monkey's cover door, we were able to escape." I think the monkey is a poor man, and he hasn't done anything bad, shouldn't he be let go?"

"Although the words are good, but when I think of such a sinister place hidden in the mountains and forests not far away, as an official of the imperial court, I really can't sit idly by. I thought I could get some news out of the monkey's mouth, but I didn't want to...... Hey......" Yao Xitong said as if it was true, Xiao Bao'er said cooperatively: "Why didn't you say this earlier? I almost forgot that you are still an official." ”

Su Su quietly retreated to the side as she came, Xiao Bao'er was right, if Yao Xitong hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten that this person was an official, and she still carried the sword given by the Son of Heaven in her bag.

The farther north we went, the colder it became, and the dense forest was blown by the cold wind, leaving only bare tree trunks standing proudly in the cold wind. There were no obstacles overhead, Yao Xitong found a very interesting phenomenon, as long as Su Su found an excuse to leave the team, there must be pigeons flying away above their heads. Seeing that Su Su had disappeared again, he said to Xiao Bao'er on the side, "Xiaoxiao, I want to eat meat, or you can shoot a bird for me." ”

"You lost the bet and don't eat meat for a month. ”

"You eat meat, I'll drink soup, right? I'm a vegetarian all day, I'm about to lose it. Xiao Bao'er took a few serious glances at Yao Xitong, and she was indeed much thinner than when she first saw her, "Okay, I eat meat, and you drink soup, only soup." ”

Yao Xitong pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, isn't it necessary to be so vindictive to eat some ants? He pointed to the carrier pigeon released by Su Su and said, "Shoot that, do you see it, that black spot, that is the closest bird to us." ”

"You don't need to be blind in the hunting business, I have my own measure. As soon as Xiao Bao'er's words fell, the arrow was already shooting farther away.

Yao Xitong saw that there was another black spot in the sky, and he was very unfortunate to be shot by Xiao Baoer. "Let's go and see. ”

Xiao Bao'er was really as she boasted - there was no missing arrow, and there was indeed a carrier pigeon lying on the woodland not far away. Seeing the note tied to the pigeon's feet, Yao Xitong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I really didn't know how bad Su Su's face would be.

When he saw clearly that the carrier pigeon that was shot was gray, the heart that had just fallen hung up again, it would not be so coincident......al! Why does this note have no beginning or end, just say that the Empress Dowager is dead, King Chun is unharmed, who wrote it to whom?"

Yao Xitong squeezed out an ugly smile, He Bo finally passed the news out from him, in He Bo's heart, he was still an outsider. Xiao Bao'er stared at him with wide eyes, "What's wrong with you, you don't answer any questions?"

"Be quiet, there are spies among us, and I was frightened by the contents of the note. ”

"Really," Xiao Bao'er patted him on the shoulder vigorously and comforted: "Don't worry, don't worry if he's a spy or not, I will protect you anyway." "In addition to smiling bitterly, what else can Yao Xitong do? stealing chickens doesn't eat rice, it should be Su Su laughing at him!

"Let's go, I'll make you a snow blossom. ”

"Wait a minute, I suddenly feel that I should tell my father about the Empress Dowager," I saw Xiao Bao'er take out a small bird from her arms, tie it to the bird's leg and release it with that note.

Yao Xitong felt like a fool for the first time, he pointed to the sky, and then pointed to Xiao Bao'er, "Why didn't I know that you had hidden this bird all along?"

"You didn't touch my chest, so you don't know. ”

This answer was really amazing, Yao Xitong asked again: "If you keep hiding it like this, won't you press it?"

"We slept together, did you crush me?"

"Don't compare our relationship to this bird, okay?"

"What else do you have to ask?"

Yao Xitong took a deep breath, he really didn't know much about Xiao Bao'er. Let's say she kept her promises, and she was quick to backtrack. It's said that she has a good temper, but when she gets bad, it's scary. Thinking that there was still a long way to go, he said, "How can you be too lazy to pass it to the King of Northern Liao with someone else's note, aren't you afraid that he will worry about you?"

"I've always been like this, and my father is used to it. By the way, what is a plum blossom?"

"Pigeon stewed red beans. ”

"Is it delicious?"

"Red bean pigeon soup is a good tonic, not only has the effect of healing wounds, but also can reduce fever, blood and detoxification, especially suitable for patients like you who vomit blood and do not die. In addition, consuming red bean pigeon soup can also slow down the appearance of sun spots and keep the skin radiant. ”

"It sounds good, but it's a pity that the name is not good, why is it called Snow Blossom?"

Yao Xitong was reluctant to discuss cultural conception and other issues with a grassland barbarian, believing that this would be playing the piano to the cow. The pigeon had not had much meat after it had been washed and skinned, and he put it in a white clay cup, slightly larger than a tea cup, and placed it in a clay pot that looked like a tea.

Xiao Bao'er was very surprised that he had found so many bottles and cans from there, and before he could ask a question, he listened to him, "Can you hide the bird in your chest and prevent me from letting these utensils go?"

"Oh, you're still holding grudges!"

"Didn't you learn this?"

After Yao Xitong finished speaking, he began to regret it, how could he quarrel with a barbarian, this behavior was really a loss of identity.

The birds that were hunted in the morning did not drink the pigeon soup at noon, and it was not until the evening that Yao Xitong was willing to take out the clay pot. He carefully took out the white clay cup placed in the clay pot, and before he could open it, Xiao Bao'er had already leaned his head over and shouted, "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, hurry up and open it." ”

"Can you be a little more reserved?"

"Death by starvation is a big thing, and a loss of temperance is a small matter, can you eat it if you are reserved?"

Yao Xitong glanced at Xiao Bao'er with appreciation, and their attitudes towards eating were surprisingly similar.

The pigeon soup in the white pottery cup was milky white, and Xiao Bao'er pointed in surprise and asked, "How can it be this color?"

Yao Xitong raised the pottery cup, pointed to the depression at the bottom of the cup, and said, "The soup cup is specially made, there is an outlet in it, and the pigeon is not put in the soup after washing it with boiling water, and the soup you see is all condensed by steam, the purpose of which is to ensure the original taste of the pigeon." ”

Xiao Bao'er took a closer look at the utensils used to make pigeon soup, the bottom of the clay pot was used to place the charcoal fire, the water was placed in the pot, and the clay cup was above the water. According to Yao Xitong, this is called dry steaming through water, and all the food in the pottery cup is steamed by steam. In addition to the pigeons, the soup cup also put barley and codonopsis, the former dehumidifies and removes miasma, and the latter nourishes qi and nourishes blood, so the soup is milky white.

She asked, "Is it okay to eat?"

Yao Xitong scooped a spoonful of the juice from the clay pot used to place the clay cup, and pictured the juice in the pigeon soup. Xiao Bao'er saw that the juice was actually bright red, and saw that the juice was quickly smeared into pieces by red dots on the soup noodles, which looked like plum blossoms blooming at first glance, and she finally understood what it meant to bloom on the snow.

"The pigeon soup is stewed with red beans, the pigeons are steamed separately, and the red beans are placed in a clay pot outside the soup cup. After the pigeons are steamed, the red beans in the clay pot are also cooked, and you pour the red bean soup into the pigeon soup to create a beautiful scenery in the snow. That's a good idea, why don't you stew the beans directly into the pigeon soup because you can't compose the picture?"

Yao Xitong explained, "Red beans can treat meridian damage and blockage, but they should not be eaten more because of their toxicity. This soup is made just for you and served hot. ”

"What about you?"

Yao Xitong said generously, "Just a little something, you can drink it!"

I thought that Xiao Baoer would be humble and polite, after all, he had said before, he drank soup, and Xiao Baoer ate meat. Unexpectedly, Xiao Baoer was very sincere, and she didn't buy his duplicitous routine at all, and drank the soup cleanly. After that, he wiped his mouth and said: "It's so delicious! Is it because you officials are afraid to fight against Northern Liao because you officials have spent your minds on these trivial matters?"

In terms of not being able to speak, Xiao Baoer ranks second, and no one dares to rank first. Yao Xitong worked hard all day to get a comment that he spent on trivial matters, and he only hated that he didn't take the soup to feed the dogs.

In the middle of the night, Uncle He was awakened by the sound of a bird flapping its wings, and when he saw Su Su hiding in a no-man's land, he asked Yao Xitong, "Childe, that bird belongs to an old slave in the morning, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Childe, I'm afraid Qingshan-kun is going to make a move, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Childe, what should I do next?" Qingshanjun won't think about it again......" He Bobi made a gesture of cutting his neck, and Yao Xitong finally accosted him, "He didn't think about it again, but he always thought about it, but unfortunately the princess protected me, and he didn't dare to do anything to me." ”

"The princess ...... you"

"Don't think about it, the princess is like Sanji to me, Sanji is when I need it, and no one can bully me. Once you don't need it, you can throw it away at any time. No matter what actions Qingshan-kun makes, you just have to take care of your luggage and always keep a low profile, and you don't have to worry about my safety. ”

He Bo also wanted to explain the matter of the carrier pigeon, but Yao Xitong closed his eyes and looked unwilling to speak, he could only sigh and silently move to the tuyere to help Yao Xitong block the cold wind that blew from time to time at night.
