Chapter 107: Seeking
"Your chef here is not bad. ”
Giving up the main seat facing the hall door to Chang Wei, Cheng Fengyuan sat down next to the right hand side of the old Yushi.
Looking at the table of chicken, duck and fish, with the pickles in the cellar, the hearty was a little beyond his expectations.
"That kid's ancestor was the imperial chef in the palace, and he has a bit of family craftsmanship, if the adult likes it, I will ask him to send more food when I go back. ”
Just brought an enamel porridge bowl from the kitchen, Hu Zhou pandered with a haha.
Seeing Chang Wei on the main seat moving chopsticks to clip a handful of pickles first, Cheng Fengyuan slowly raised his chopsticks and was about to eat, when he heard Fahai pretending to be unintentional and asking:
"This fish soup smells delicious, I don't know where it was raised in a nearby river pond?"
There are no people in a radius of dozens of miles near the post house, not to mention that there are farmers who grow mulberry and fish in this kind of place, and the other three people at the same table can hear the meaning of Fahai's words at once.
Although most of his worries were diluted by the joy of his nephew's safety, Cheng Fengyuan was not completely vigilant.
Hearing this, the chicken that was about to reach his mouth suddenly returned to the bowl, and a pair of tiger-eyed foxes stared at Hu Zhou suspiciously, asking him to explain.
"This ...... Hey, it's not that Xia Guan went out this morning and heard the magpie barking on the branch, and he estimated in his heart that maybe there was a distinguished guest coming to the door, so he specially asked the little official to go to a nearby town to buy it. ”
"Sure enough, don't you see a few adults coming to this post?"
Hu Zhou was stunned, but quickly reacted, laughing and gaging, only to be swallowed by the shadow half of the side of his face, and occasionally stiffly twitched slightly.
There are horses in the post station, and it makes sense to go back and forth for dozens of miles in a day.
"I think it's you killers who want to eat it, but they all push it on our heads. ”
As if to let down his guard, Cheng Fengyuan pretended to laugh and scold.
gave the steps, and Hu Zhou naturally hurriedly smiled and agreed.
"A few adults, use it quickly, and when the food is cold, it won't be easy to eat. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Feng was far from doubting him, so he was about to pick up a piece of pork meat and put it in the bowl, when he suddenly seemed to remember something, and stopped scolding Cheng Wu and the others who were guarding behind him with a smile.
"What are you two doing here, why don't you go to Lao Wu's side to eat together?"
"Didn't you call me to stay and punish Erzhuxiang for your kung fu, and the right to treat it as a punishment for not listening to your orders?"
Cheng Wu muttered as he scratched the back of his head and was about to walk to the door.
was about to reach the threshold, and Wu Di only heard Cheng Fengyuan shouting behind him-
"Cheng Wu!"
Almost subconsciously about to respond, Cheng Wu turned his head, but saw Hu Zhou, who was flattered by the four people at the table, and his face was gloomy.
"II...... My lord, what do you command?"
The second monk of Cheng Wuzhang here was confused, but over there Cheng Fengyuan was as gloomy as as if he was dead and silent, and the green tendons in his right hand holding the chopsticks were violent, and he shouted angrily and directly smashed the food on the entire table in front of him to Hu Zhou.
Without the slightest intention of dodging, Hu Zhou just watched the dinner table smash into his face, not moved at all, but his tone no longer lost his previous eagerness and flattery.
"How did you find out that something was wrong, I should have covered it up well. ”
"You acted very well, but unfortunately you forgot a little, Xiaoshi Night Market has an hour set by the government, that is, you are in a hurry, and it is also the time when you will not be able to catch up with the opening. ”
Seeing that Hu Zhou's whole body was slapped by the dining table, he turned into broken bones and rotten flesh and splashed around.
Cheng Wuzhi stood there stunned, and he didn't even notice that his face was stained with a lot of black-brown coagulated blood clots and rotten flesh.
"I'm ...... Second uncle, I'm ...... What's wrong?"
trembling and lowering his head, but for a moment, Cheng Wu suddenly raised his face and asked his second uncle in fear, but saw that the other party's eyes were also full of unbearable sorrow.
It turned out that just now he lowered his head, and what he saw was his own back armor.
"It's a pity, I wanted you to watch your uncle eat your internal organs one by one, but now it's impossible. ”
The severe, cold laugh of the falling skull, as gloomy and terrifying as a vulture.
Removing the obscuring method on the meal, Chang Wei and Ning Caichen glanced at each other, and their faces suddenly turned pale, and finally they couldn't help retching on their side faces.
Those delicacies that were originally beautiful and delicious suddenly showed their original shapes, and they were actually plates of heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and the blood-stained organs were still slightly hot.
"This can't be! This can't be!!"
Cheng Wu tore the armor on his body like crazy, wanting to take it off and see what was going on.
It's just that the soft armor that was originally cumbersome and complicated fell this time with a touch, and a consistent scratch on the sturdy heart shield was clearly recognizable.
This is Cheng Fengyuan's special treasure for self-defense, made of fine iron, and it can protect his life at a critical time.
Cheng Wu was stunned in place, even this close-fitting armor was broken like this, and sure enough-
The armor on his chest was removed, but the strong and powerful body of the young man inside was gone.
"I remembered...... I remembered it all......"
In a trance, the tall body collapsed, Cheng Wu's head fell to the ground, and his eyes looked into the distance.
......
Time goes back half an hour ago-
After receiving Cheng Fengyuan's order, it didn't take long for Cheng Wu and Huo Laosan to see the lonely post house at the end of the road not far away.
"After a long day, I can finally find a place to lie down and rest. ”
Cheng Wu turned off the horse with a smile and turned back to Huo Laosan and smiled.
"Wait for Brother Xiaowu to rest in the post house, and I'll just inform you. ”
Although Cheng Wu is the nephew of the garrison, he does not have the superiority of the children of the official eunuchs, and he is very much in the same group of veterans.
An old man like Huo Laosan, who has been a soldier of Cheng Feng's distant relatives for a long time, is also happy to deal with his future lord.
"How can this be, in front of Master Chang, the second uncle must not kill me. A few miles away, there was nothing important, so I gritted my teeth and passed. ”
Cheng Wu smiled and rejected Huo Laosan's kindness, and reached out to knock down the door of the post house.
A short time later, a shadowy man dressed as a clerk came out of it.
"The two are ......"
Directly stretched out his hand and waved the horsewhip, and hit him in front of the other party, Cheng Wu scolded impatiently.
"Why don't you hurry up and prepare some more meals, wait for the carriage and horses of the imperial history to arrive, if you neglect the nobles, I will not spare you!"
"Nobleman...... Carriage and Horse ...... Imperial History ......"
The other party repeated it stiffly like a repeater, and suddenly his eyes became flexible.
"Please, please, I'll have someone prepare the meal. ”
"No need, we have to go back to meet the adults, you can remember to go out to meet you later. ”
After speaking, he was about to leave, Cheng Wu only felt that his hands were tight, and when he looked back, he was grabbed by the other party.
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, the adults and horses are already out of the way, you might as well go in with me and change to a stagecoach and then go." ”
Cheng Wu looked a little strange when he heard this, the war horse that was fine just now was trembling all over, foaming at the mouth, and he couldn't gallop anymore.
"It's done, then it's troublesome. ”
There was no doubt that there was him, Cheng Wu led the horse into the post house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw two eyes the size of a lantern staring straight at him, and then there was a tearing pain in his heart, and he was no longer conscious.
Before he was unconscious, he only vaguely remembered dozens of stiff and rigid faces watching him, with a creepy excitement in his indifference, as if welcoming another unlucky guy to join them.
