Five small croissants, two fried eggs, a round pot of coffee with hand-poured medium roasted beans, and a small bowl of honey mustard.

"Is this what you ordered?" Zhong Li looked at the breakfast prepared on the table and asked Yuan Xian.

Yuan Xian shook the thick ponytail behind her slender neck, "I told Yuan Dun'er that he prepared the breakfast for the two of them." ”

"I said it's my favorite food. Do you like to eat these? ”

Hearing that Zhong Li likes to eat these things, Yuan Xian deliberately memorized them in her mind, but she felt a little regretful, because she directly put these things made by Yuandun'er, and she didn't participate in them. "I'm usually fried dough sticks with soy milk. The fritters are already made and only need to be fried. By the way, why are your eggs like this? ”

Zhong Li looked at the ordinary two fried eggs, pondered Yuan Xian's words for a moment, and suddenly thought that her usual fried eggs were probably made directly with an egg fritan, not a frying pan. "Are you saying that this kind of frying is irregularly shaped?"

"Hmm."

"That's how it spreads out naturally when it's pan-fried."

"I feel a little ......" Yuan Xian didn't say the word "ugly", she usually eats heart-shaped fried eggs prepared for her by Lao Yuan.

"You can eat it and you will know that the taste is different."

Yuan Xian looked at Zhong Li's affirmative expression, so he picked one up with his chopsticks and took a tentative bite like trying something like a scorpion grasshopper. The taste in the mouth was a little oily compared to the omelette device, and then the first touch was a bouncy pimple feeling, and then to rejection, a bouncy and refreshing feeling and the bubbles bursting seemed to give back to her teeth, and the feeling of the salt gradually melting also enriched the taste.

Looking at her expression that gradually became enjoyable, Zhong Li smiled: "Isn't it better to feel this kind of naturally fried scorched shell." ”

"Uh-huh......" Because he put in another bite, Yuan Xian could only hum and nod.

"It seems that my feelings are correct, and I deliberately let Yuandun use a pan when making fried eggs." There was a smug in his words.

"Then why are they all using an omelette now? Although the shape is beautiful, it feels ...... to eat."

"Feel like the eggs are watery?" Zhong Li saw the affirmation in Yuan Xian's eyes. "It's not an omelette that's fully automatic, you just throw the egg in, break the shell, fry it, control the temperature, clean it and you're done. In the case of a frying pan, the temperature is not well controlled, I don't know whether the egg yolk inside is raw or cooked, and then it is not good to eat double-sided, and it is also troublesome to brush the pot. ”

Yuan Xian listened to Zhong Li while eating the remaining eggs.

"So if it weren't for the round pier, I guess I'd have to use an omelette to save trouble."

"But don't you like to cook?" Yuan Xian ate croissant bread again, and because she bit a little more, her speech was a little unclear.

Zhong Li watched her originally heroic face bulging with bread, and felt funny and cute. "Eat slowly, and I won't rob you." He brought the coffee pot, used the back of his hand to check the temperature, and then took a cup and poured more than half a cup of coffee for Yuan Xian.

Yuan Xian shrunk his neck slightly, lowered his head close to the table, showed shyness, and carefully took the coffee and took several sips before sending the bread down.

"I like to like it, but I don't have time to cook every day, I'm not a cook, it's just a joy of life." Seeing that Yuan Xian nodded and didn't say any more, Zhong Li changed the topic. "Speaking of which, you Jiang Xia are fast enough, I am thinking about how to get tonight."

"Well, it's mainly on the march, and it's really been ten days since I arrived in Jiangxia."

"Ten days?" Zhong Li couldn't believe it, because he had also read the map of Jiangxia in his spare time, and felt that he would not be able to take Jiangxia County without half a moon to the twentieth. "Are you taking the whole county of Jiangxia or the city of Jiangxia?"

"Except for the whole territory of Suixian."

"How?"

Yuan Xian roughly told Zhong Li about the whole story, of course, she deliberately ignored this part of the agreement with Gu Yu.

"I can't imagine that she can still reverse Jiangxia County's guard." Speaking of Gu Yu's matter, Zhong Li didn't dare to comment more, because he could clearly see that when Yuan Xian mentioned Gu Yu, his face was not very good-looking.

"Hmm. I don't know exactly how she did it, but when she came back, she told me that she had succeeded in plotting a rebellion, and asked me to release this county guard named Liu Feng back to Jiangxia. At first, I thought she would be deceived, because it was Liu Feng who said that he could bring people from a county to surrender. She said that if she didn't give this trust, she wouldn't be able to use Liu Fengshou for her own purposes. In the end, she vouched for her own credit......"

"Her own credit?"

When Zhong Li asked him like this, Yuan Xian knew that he had almost lost his mouth. "It's her guarantor for Liu Feng." Seeing Zhong Li's plausible response, she continued: "Then on the second morning, Jiangxia City opened the city and surrendered. ”

"Waited a day?" Zhong Li knew that with Yuan Qian's temper, letting her go on board for a day would be as uncomfortable as letting her stay on the fire for a day.

"Yes, Liu Feng later said that he was doing work for various departments in the city, although he wanted to open the city at any time, but he hoped to bring all the people to vote."

"Then you are not waiting in vain, your Red Dragon Army has earned an extra infantry battalion."

"I'm not in a hurry, after all, Jiangxia is surrounded by me, and Gu Yu is also making a guarantee. But what I'm curious about is why Gu Yu is so sure that Liu Feng will be sincere. At the end of the day, the two of us basically spent the day in the big tent, and I didn't see her in a hurry the whole time. ”

Zhong Li could imagine Gu Yu's face as peaceful as a dead man, except for that night watch over the Da Ling River and chasing Dai Ying by himself, he rarely saw Gu Yu in a hurry. "It seems that the depth of her city is not something that we can see through casually."

"Then you still let her be my military advisor?" Although Yuan Xian was staring at the bread when he spoke, Zhong Li heard the questioning tone. "You really just wanted me to come back soon? Now that it's over, can you explain it to me? ”

Zhong Li saw that those dark red eyes were gradually igniting again, and he knew that he had to explain clearly. "I don't think your father will reply quickly to Gu Yuti. He is neither the kind of person who can do anything for the sake of his ideals, nor is he the kind of person who can understand the righteousness so well that he can casually abandon his ideals. If he doesn't have a clear answer for a while, come and ask you when he comes. I think you can still make some judgments. ”

Yuan Xian put the cup back on the table and turned to look at Zhong Li's eyes. "But I said I would only see what he meant in this matter."

"But sometimes you need to answer, at least for him." Zhong Li thought for a while and said: "If you are a little hesitant when you encounter a choice, and then come to me and ask me, do you want me to just say 'I believe in you and support your choice', or do you want me to put forward some of my own opinions to help you analyze and analyze?" ”

"Hmm......" Zhong Li said this, and Yuan Xian immediately understood what he meant.

Zhong Li put his hand on the top of Yuan Xian's head and comforted him a few times left and right, "Little foal, at this time, your father must be the only one you can trust, you have to take on some pressure for him, don't you?" At least, we have to get in touch with this person more or less to understand him. ”

Zhong Min stayed up until the holiday day again, and she had already told her father that she was going to her brother's house, so she escaped from the unit as if she was happy as soon as she got off work. However, she did not go to her brother's house, but made an appointment to rent it to the private villa area of Huajiadi. Since the day she went to her sister's house to search for information, she felt that this egg-shaped building donated to Tsinghua University had many doubts, so she wanted to find out.

She had previously searched the surrounding terrain on the Internet, and also looked at the floor plan on the satellite map carefully, and on Thursday afternoon, she also checked in from the unit in advance, took a taxi to this side to check the situation, and found that although the building is now registered as unoccupied, it is not abandoned, but there is no one in sight, not even a security guard. So she thought about diving in here to find out.

When she was in the lower city, she did things like climbing over the wall and sneaking into certain places, but the difference here is that she must ensure that she does not enter the surveillance range of the camera, otherwise she may be prosecuted for burglary and other crimes. Fortunately, I learned from my sister that after entering the private villa area, there was no monitoring except for the privately installed camera, so at least she would not easily get the analysis map of her gait. So she asked the taxi to stop directly at the back wall of the villa, put on a hat and a mask, and climbed over the wooden fence that was not high.

Zhong Min pulled open the fence wall that grew into the small-leaved boxwood, but fortunately, the tight-fitting sportswear she wore was thick enough, otherwise she would inevitably have a few cuts in her legs. Behind the fence was a tightly packed grove of juniper trees, and she bent down cautiously to reach forward, but the fine branches could not reach her delicate neck. It's a pity that it's autumn at this time, otherwise she will inevitably get a lot of black and gray caterpillars if she gets through it like this. If she knew that it was crawling on her, she would have had a spirit's head burrowed into the canopy.

Ignoring the dirt and cypress leaves, an open field in front of him attracted Zhong Min's attention. I saw that there is a pool of lake water that is not very big but clear and translucent in the slowly sinking flat land, and there are a few three-autumn plane trees sparsely planted at the water's edge, and with low chicken feet maple, under the highest moment of the tree, there is a swing made of wood, which looks like it has experienced a lot of wind and rain, but at this time it seems to be usable.

At the end of the lake is the egg-shaped building seen in the document, which is embedded in the hillside on the opposite side of the lake, with a large glass curtain wall facing the lake. The afterglow of the setting sun reflects purple-red points of light on the curtain wall, making it look like a black pearl in a mussel.

Following the cobblestone path, Jongmin loops around the lake through the green meadows. She walked from the slope to the bottom, from the slope to the swing, and from the swing to the shell building. Although there are many years of fallen leaves under the glass curtain wall, the curtain wall is bright as new, and it is thought that the curtain wall is protected by the film, which is scratched by hard objects, and it is much more convenient to replace the film than to change the glass.

When he walked to the curtain wall, it was almost dark, Zhong Min put his head on the curtain wall, and with a little light, he could see the situation in the curtain wall through the reflection. The original round shell was a three-story interior space arranged in the shape of a Greek theater, with a set of staircases leading from the top to the maple-clad floor hall below. The spacious hall is furnished with nothing, with sofas, chairs, tables, and bookshelves arranged on various platforms on the second floor, while the third floor has only one staircase-like passageway.

Zhong Min suddenly saw a white trench coat worn by a girl hanging on the dark red sofa, and immediately concluded that the house was obviously still occupied, so he dared to touch the back door on the side. The lock of the curved glass door was a combination lock, and Zhong Min almost screamed excitedly when he saw this.

"I'm sorry to get an unlocker." Thinking about it, she pulled out an old wristband from her pocket, which she had taken from downtown for a rooted personal terminal, which contained a plug-in to crack the electronic lock.

I only heard the sound of "dripping", the green light lit up on the door lock, the glass door moved to the side, and a fresh fragrance of roses came to my face, this smell Zhong Min seemed to have smelled somewhere.

She reacted immediately. "Hmph, I've found it this time!"
