Shu E could no longer hide the surprise in her eyes and looked at Lu Ping.

Lu Ping was obviously also paying attention to the music that suddenly sounded out of harmony with the team's formation, but her face did not have the same surprise as Shu E, there was only an indescribable worry and sadness, and a faint anger that could not be quelled, but she didn't care about Shu E's gaze.

Every time Shu E saw this woman's sad look, her heart would involuntarily soften. It's really because her smile is too bright, and her anger is too clear, so her grief is particularly distressing.

Shu E couldn't help but defend Lu Ping in her heart at this time, how could it be, how could it be. How could Lü Ping be an envoy sent by the Liao State to unite the party and send troops to the Great Song Dynasty. Such an idea is just too whimsical. With her identity, how could the Liao State send her to the place where the party members were to be an envoy?

Alas, it's always Lu Ping's appearance, words and deeds that are too weird, so I have these strange conjectures about her. Shu E sighed secretly. At the same time, he also denied in his heart that these party members went to Liao to make trouble, because Lu Ping was from Liao, and if these party members went to attack Liao, she would definitely not be so calm.

Tanglin's expression was still indifferent, but his trance told Shu E that Tanglin was not completely indifferent to the prestige of the party members.

The sound of trumpets and gongs and drums showed no signs of exhaustion for a while, and the three of them silently watched or lowered their heads, drinking the dry taste of tea in a large bowl of coarse porcelain sent by the store, while they were all silent. Of course, under such a noisy sound in the army, although the three of them could hear each other, there was no atmosphere for thinking and discussion.

Although Lu Ping paid the store a lot of money, the food served by the store was still very simple. The rice made by three coarse porcelain bowls, the rice and the vegetables are mixed together, like porridge but thicker than porridge, like rice but more water than rice, and the rice is not white rice, it is obviously rougher. In addition, there are two large bowls of dishes, which are also extremely ordinary dishes, and there are some things that Shu'e has never seen.

The bowls are rough and the chopsticks are not made of wood, but the wood looks new and there are not many traces of use.

Shu E looked at Tanglin, but saw that Donglin ate everything with a chopstick, and took a bite of rice in the bowl. After a moment, Tanglin nodded, and Shu E went to eat.

Since Lu Ping added some kind of drug to Tanglin's tea the night before, when he first arrived at Xifa Inn, Tanglin secretly instructed Shu E that the food and tea used must be tasted by him in advance.

Shu E said with a smile: "Mr. Anliu's book wrote that the poison that can be tested by silver needles is limited to arsenic, although arsenic can make silver needles and silver chopsticks black, nothing else." And to try to find out if there is arsenic, it is not a momentary effort. But do you think that if someone really poisoned it, how could the person who poisoned it let you wait for the silver needles and silver chopsticks to turn black? All the so-called silver needle test poison test of the ancients is mostly exaggerated. Some people say that ivory chopsticks can test poison, but there is no basis, but ivory is very rare and rare. However, his book does not say that Brother Tanglin, your mouth and teeth can also test poison. After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed.

Tanglin didn't smile, but said solemnly: "I naturally have a way to tell the difference, you just listen to me." No matter what poison is put in, I can always see through it. ”

Shu E smiled even more: "I heard that there is a kind of black stone, and if you use gold to cross it, there is a gold line on the stone, and you can see the color of the gold." This stone is called Xuanyu, but unfortunately I haven't seen it yet. Brother Tanglin, you can not only test whether there is poison or not, but you can also distinguish which one it is, which is much stronger than Xuanyu. ”

As a result, Tanglin ignored Shu'e.

Shu E had no choice but to find another way to talk and said: "Brother Dongling, in fact, it is poisonous or not, why do you try it yourself?" If you are worried that Miss Lu has poisoned our diet, let's eat with her, and wait for her to eat first. And she may not always follow us. ”

Tanglin nodded and said, "But last night at the inn in the stone building, there was no problem with the wine and food I ate with her, but she sent the drugged tea to my room." ”

Shu E remembered the events of that night, shrunk in shame, and at the same time suddenly remembered one thing, and said, "Yes, you ate in her room last night, and you also waited for her to eat first." After a pause, he asked, "Brother Tanglin, why are you so skeptical of her?" ”

Tanglin hadn't spoken yet, and Lu Ping had already smiled and looked for Shu'e. So in the Xifa Inn, the three of them still drank and ate together, and as for the tea sent to the room, Shu E didn't drink a sip.

At this moment, Shu E also ate it, brown rice coarse grains, and unknown vegetables, with this big bowl of thick chopsticks, it tasted different.

Lu Ping hung her head and picked up the rice in the bowl, dialed it a few times, and took a small bite, which seemed to be very difficult to swallow.

Shu E persuaded Lu Ping to eat more, and she didn't know where to find food and lodging in front of her. Lu Ping smiled slightly, but she still couldn't eat it.

The shopkeeper then brought out another bottle of wine from the hut. A large wooden tray also holds a clay wine jug and three slightly smaller porcelain bowls.

Lu Ping's eyes suddenly brightened, and he put down his chopsticks and said happily: "It's good to have wine, why is it served at this time?" ”

The store was busy paying compensation, it turned out that the bowls in the store were not in order, and the store also spent a lot of time to find these three bowls of the same size to use as wine glasses.

The bowls, though rough, were apparently freshly brushed and watery. Lu Ping took out a handkerchief and wiped the water outside, and then poured wine for Shu'e and Tanglin. It's just that the clay pot containing the wine looked a little greasy, Lu Ping looked at it, simply didn't use the wine jug, and poured it directly from the wine bottle into the bowl.

Shu E followed Tanglin all the way, and she has also seen many wine bottles from shops, but none of them are as big as this. It is said to be a wine bottle, but in fact, it is a coarse porcelain clay pot, and the mouth of the wine bottle has a mud mark when the altar was sealed. The color of the wine is yellowish, it looks slightly cloudy, but the taste is extremely choking. The shopkeeper said: "This is a wine made from white sorghum millet, and it is the best bottle of wine in a small store. ”

Shu E knew that Lu Ping was drinking, but she was only too small, not afraid of being big. Sure enough, Lu Ping was very happy when she heard this, she picked up the wine bowl with both hands, and saw that some of the dregs in it had sunk, so she hurriedly came to her mouth and took a sip, this sip was very small, and she swallowed it very slowly, and even her brows furrowed slightly as soon as she entered the wine.

Shu E was a little worried that Lu Ping would lose her temper with the store again, remembering that the store in front of her was scolded by her without exception, and she was also a little funny in her heart.

Lu Ping tasted it carefully for a while, but suddenly nodded and smiled: "Good wine." ”
