Chapter 188: Roasted Sweet Potato

Chapter 188

The man took off the strip of red cloth from the eagle's feet, looked at it, and threw it into the charcoal stove.

On the couch around the house, a plain-clothed woman sat with a tea cup and her eyebrows raised.

The fragrance of tea in the house was lingering, and for a long time, the woman put down the tea cup without drinking, "Go back?" ”

The man coughed a few times and looked at the charcoal fire that was blown away by the wind, "Return." ”

……

The snow has been getting heavier and heavier in the past few days, and the tragic battle on the riverside is not so shocking because of the snow covering.

Ninety-one bodies were found by the government, and the houses near the river were ten rooms and nine empty.

As soon as the news came out, the big case on the river not long ago was brought up again, and many people speculated that it was the same group of people.

And the government searched for a token at the scene - a pass order belonging to the Crane Yuan.

The government immediately blocked the news, but the paper could not hide the fire, there were many people at the time, and I don't know who spread the matter.

On the surface, the Crane Courtyard was established to train the talents of the front division of the palace and the guard division, and when it was first built, it was opposed by many officials.

In a courtyard in the city of Yangzhou, a group of wounded people sit on a porch basking in the sun.

Mo Sigui and Sheng Changying sat by the brazier with their sleeves folded and chatted about the hottest topics in the city in the past few days.

"Those people are making trouble, and I don't know what the road plan is, and the Crane Control Courtyard is not newly built." Mo Sigui lazily roasted the fire.

Sheng Changying's spirit has improved a lot under Mo Sigui's conditioning, and after her health has improved, she feels that she is more idle, "In the past, the people of the Guard Division and the Front Division of the Palace were all selected from the army, and many families could take the opportunity to arrange people inside, and the children of the family could easily mix official positions in the two divisions, but now the two divisions are controlled by the Crane Academy." They can't get any of those coveted positions, and this time they finally got the handle, how can they not work hard? ”

The Guards Division and the Front Division of the Palace have nothing to fish, but they are responsible for guarding the important places in Gyeonggi, and the high-ranking officials of the two divisions are close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and more, Emperor Taizu served in the front division of the palace before the yellow robe, so since this dynasty, these two divisions have attached great importance to them.

"I'm full." Mo Sigui commented lightly. Hanging his head and flicking the sweet potatoes on the side of the charcoal basin with an iron fork, he found that one of them was ripe, so he picked it up and sent it to Lou Mingyue, "Roasted sweet potatoes." ”

Lou Mingyue was closing her eyes and recuperating, and said indifferently, "Don't eat." ”

"I'll eat." With a thick cloth wrapped around his neck, it was a little difficult for him to turn his head, so he had to turn his whole body around.

This is Lou Mingyue's favorite thing to eat when she was a child, and they used to go to the nearby fields to secretly dig out and find a corner to roast and eat. After being discovered by her parents, the two of them were severely repaired and went to the farmer's house to make amends with gifts.

Mo Sigui said, "You save the province." Wait a minute, that pot of medicine will be enough for you to drink a full drink. ”

An Jiu paused, "I saw that you had no face before I gave you a step down, since you are shameless, count me as a fool." ”

"Snort. It's not a day or two to be shameless! Mo Sigui said, stuffing the hot roasted sweet potato into Lou Mingyue's hand.

Lou Mingyue held the sweet potato, and her palms were a little painful. She didn't eat. But he didn't throw it away in front of everyone.

The shadow of the sun shifted westward, and the temperature of the sun could not be felt for a while after noon in winter, so everyone received the medicine from Mo Sigui and returned to the house.

Anjiu entered the house and sat down by the wall.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, a black figure fell from the beam of the room and threw something in her hand.

An Jiu raised his hand to catch it and smelled a fragrance.

"I didn't want to eat it." An Jiu frowned and stared at him unhappily.

The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted on the tip of his nose, and An Jiu's nose moved slightly, untied the cloth bag, touched and took a bite, and his brows immediately wrinkled deeper, "It's not delicious." ”

Chu Dingjiang took the sweet potato from her hand, peeled it and handed it to her mouth, "Try another bite." ”

An Jiu took a bite of his hand, his eyes lit up slightly.

Bang bang bang!

"Mei Fourteen!"

Bang bang bang!

"Mei Fourteen!"

Mo Sigui was crying wolf outside, "Chu Dingjiang, don't hide if you have the ability!" ”

An Jiu opened the door and saw Mo Sigui with a blue nose and swollen eyes.

When he saw that Chu Dingjiang was indeed in the Anjiu house, he said angrily, "Mei Fourteen! You bolt Chu Dingjiang! Don't just let it out and bite people! ”

After that, he turned his head and rushed back, and there was the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the opposite room.

"You hit him?" An Jiu asked.

Chu Dingjiang leaned against the pillar, "Obviously. ”

An Jiu didn't ask what it was, closed the door and sat back in his position silently to nibble on sweet potatoes, nibbling and gnawing, and suddenly grinned.

Chu Dingjiang rarely saw her happy, but he had secretly imagined countless times that her face was very beautiful, and her smile should be charming, and it would be amazing, but the truth was often unexpected, she smiled silly, but the innocence from her eyes was as innocent and clean as a child, he looked at such a smile, and it seemed that someone had thrown a stone into the lake in his heart, and there were ripples in a circle.

An Jiu has never had a weak side, except for indifference is fierce, anyone who sees her evil spirit and ruthlessness will be jealous, but at this moment Chu Dingjiang felt that she was very pitiful, and there was a desire to protect her in his heart.

An Jiu didn't know what had changed in him, so she buried herself in eating sweet potatoes hard, and after a while, she finished processing all the four sweet potatoes in her pocket, she wiped her mouth, and summarized and commented, "This thing smells very fragrant, and it tastes very ordinary." ”

Chu Dingjiang smiled, "Really ordinary?" ”

"It's better than dry food." In the past, Anjiu's food was very simple, and he only ate a few things regularly, but after arriving at Mei's, he enjoyed delicious food every day. She can still live on dry food, but after eating good things, she realizes that the taste of food in this world is very different.

"The food in the crane army is not bad, and you don't have to eat dry food every day in the future." Chu Dingjiang Road.

This is undoubtedly good news for Anjiu.

With the question of eating and drinking settled, she remembered what was rumored outside, and asked, "There was a token of the Crane Control Courtyard found there, is there anything wrong?" ”

They don't have anything marked on them before they act, let alone a token, which is clearly framed by someone. Chu Dingjiang understood that An Jiu was asking if he would be implicated.

"A token can't do anything to me, but ......" Chu Dingjiang paused and said, "The other party's target is not me, but the Crane Control Courtyard." They will definitely blame the last two incidents on the head of the Crane Control Yuan, with the aim of weakening the power of the Crane Control Yuan. If I'm not mistaken, this is another trick of the Liao. ”

An Jiu could also guess a thing or two, but she didn't understand, "With such an obvious planting, why would anyone believe it?" ”

Chu Dingjiang smiled helplessly, "There are always some mercenary and short-sighted idiots, and they don't want to think about it, there are eggs under the nest?" ”

Bang bang!

"Lord Chu is here?" Someone outside asked.

"Say." Chu Dingjiang Road.

"There's your letter." That's humane. (To be continued......)
