Chapter Seventy-Five: The Rats in the Imperial Dining Room

I heard many people in the courtyard shouting: "Catch it!" ”

"Be careful! Don't knock over the food! ”

"You're stupid! Kill them! Don't let them run around again! ”

"There's one here, there's one there! Where can I find it? Right behind you......"

……

Xiaoxue and I glanced at each other, both puzzled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Although she didn't know what was going on inside, but after staying in the palace for so long, she just read books and practiced every day, Xiaoxue didn't dare to say it out loud, but she couldn't stand it in her heart for a long time, and now when she heard the noise inside, her eyes flashed with excitement. She raised an eyebrow at me, I closed the book in my hand, and made a gesture to her towards the door of the imperial dining room, Xiaoxue chuckled and strutted straight to the imperial dining room.

She hesitated at the gate for a moment, but the reason that made her hesitate could not overcome her strong curiosity and habit of being a lively must-see, and she kicked the door open with a "bang" as if she had made up her mind. Before I had time to take a look at the situation inside, suddenly a small group of black shadows came straight to Xiaoxue's face door with a sharp scream, grandpa's strict training played a role at this time, only to see Xiaoxue while protecting her face and releasing a magic array with her palms outward, from the center of the magic array released several electric lights directly hit the black shadow, the moment it hit, the cry of the black shadow stopped abruptly, and the hair on the whole body stood up and emitted a burst of scorching smell, and fell to the ground with a "bell".

Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, looked at her hand inexplicably, then turned to me and burst into laughter, laughing and showing me how good she was just now. Of course, I didn't dare to expose her actions just now out of instinct, and it wasn't powerful at all, but I was afraid that speaking against her will would make her see it, so in order to divert her attention, I had to pick up the black shadow that she shot down, and I didn't know if it was boring to see it, it turned out to be a mouse! Xiaoxue pouted when she saw it, probably thinking that she was frightened by a mouse just now, and her face was a little unbearable, and she kicked the dead mouse away.

She grabbed Chef Hu Chi, who was snoring from the crowd all over the yard, and asked sharply, "Hey! I said, what are you doing all this? ”

Hu Chi's face was full of anger when he was first dragged by someone, but when he saw it, he immediately endured it. I just wanted to speak to the two of us, but when I saw the door, I hurriedly ordered a few servants who helped the cook not far away: "Quick! Fast! Go close the door! Don't let them get out! As soon as the words were spoken, someone went and closed the door.

The cook turned around and explained to the two of us after the door was closed: "The two young ladies have a ......" A mouse passed through us as soon as we got up, and then a subordinate chased us from among us with a burning stick, Hu Chi saw that it was inconvenient to talk in this place, so he led us to a relatively secluded corner, and then continued: "The two young ladies don't know something, and a group of mice came out of nowhere this morning, and they are doing this in the kitchen!" All the good grain, meat and vegetables have been ruined by them, but you say that they are full and they are gone, you see...... Look at ......," he said, pointing to the wolves in the courtyard, "they won't go away alive or dead!" We're going to have to fight them with rats, and if they run out of us and run around the palace, we can't afford to take that responsibility, so we'll have to kill them behind closed doors. But these dead rats are talented, and they haven't killed a few in the morning, how good is this....... Do not say...... Don't talk about it, the two young ladies will go back today, we don't have anything to eat here today, and at noon we temporarily opened a fire elsewhere and only provided a main meal, and the young ladies were wronged. Another day, the villain will definitely make you two a table of delicious food. The villain still has to fight mice, and you two will be affected for a while and leave the door closed. The villain will not be compensated, you two please. Without waiting for the two of us to speak, he took the spatula and returned to the "battlefield".

Xiaoxue didn't eat secretly when she heard that she was not in a hurry today, but she didn't even have any after-dinner snacks and desserts, and her face was immediately clouded. looked at the messy yard and said hatefully: "Stinky rats dare to grab food from Miss Ben, I think you are impatient!" Xiao Xue clenched her fists and walked to the middle of the courtyard step by step, took a deep breath and shouted word by word: "All - all - give - I - stop - hand!" Everyone was startled by her shout, and they all stopped to look at Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue turned to Hu Chi and said, "Let them all go out, I'll kill these mice!" ”

After thinking for a while, Hu Chi immediately changed his face, and came to Xiaoxue's side with his hands and said against his will: "How can this be embarrassing?" It's better for us to do the dirty work. ”

Xiao Xue glanced at him and said sharply: "Didn't you hear? Get out of here! Wait outside the gate, no one is allowed to come in without my orders! Hu Chi glanced at me, I nodded to him, and he beckoned everyone out of the door of the imperial dining room and waited outside the door. After everyone walked out, I closed the door tightly, and Xiaoxue said to me again: "Rong'er, stay away." I'm going to cast a lore array, so don't accidentally get hurt by accident. ”

I didn't want to be bored with Xiaoxue's anger, so I jumped to the roof of the house and left the ground. However, I still felt that something was wrong when I thought about it, so I reminded: "Xiaoxue, the lore array is a magic array that will be attacked by any living creature that steps into the formation except for the caster, this kind of formation is quite magical, this courtyard and the place in the house are too big, with our current strength, the area of the magic array will definitely not be able to cover the entire imperial dining room with the courtyard with the house, if you cast a few more arrays, I am afraid that it will not take long for the magic array to dissipate, and besides, they are just rats, can you use such a ruthless formation?" ”

But Xiaoxue was angry and couldn't listen to persuasion, and snorted angrily: "If you're afraid of spending magic, just rest, Miss Ben will come by herself!" "As you speak, you have to do it.

As soon as I saw that this persuasion was no longer working, I immediately spoke again: "I bet that you can't kill not only the rats in this courtyard without the lore array, but if you do it, I will lose ten taels of silver to you!" ”

Xiaoxue's eyes flashed, and there was no anger in her eyes when she looked at me, full of desire for money. Although ten taels is not a small amount, it is enough for ordinary people to live for half a year, but for Xiaoxue, with or without these ten taels of silver will not affect her life at all, but who makes her natural love for money and loser! She won't let go of any opportunity to get money, Xiaoxue said in disbelief: "Are you serious?" ”

"Of course! When did I lie to my sister? ”

Xiaoxue nodded. "That's right! But...... Don't you think ten taels is too little? If you want to bet, why don't we have a big one? ”
