222. Can't tell whether it's friend or foe

At this critical moment, a sharp arrow grazed her ear and shot straight into Tang Yuanhuai's exposed throat, and sticky scarlet blood suddenly splattered out.

A pair of eyes widened suddenly, and at the moment when he lost his strength, she dodged under the head of his spear and fled, then pulled out the dagger from her waist, jumped up, and plunged into his light armor.

The silver spear slammed into the ground with a muffled thud.

Tang Yuanhuai fell to the ground, looked at her with sloppy eyes, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something to her, but he stopped breathing before he could say it.

The woman looked at his corpse a little dumbfounded, as if she had been drained of strength, she knelt on the ground, and muttered with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth: "Daddy, sister, your revenge has ...... revenge."

At this moment, Ling Shaotang pulled her up, wrapped his hands tightly around her shoulders, and roared at her with red eyes: "Hello, are you crazy?!" Who is Tang Yuanhuai?! You dare to fight with him so recklessly! If it is that arrow, it is you who are lying on the ground now! Did You Know?! ”

Do you know what I'm going to do if something happens to you......

She looked at the man in front of her, her eyes fell on his blood-soaked right arm, and she gently broke away from his hand, she said, "Lord Ling, isn't it good to stand here as a concubine!" It's you, the old injury on this arm has not healed, and a new injury has been added, if the arm is scrapped, what will be the future ......" Her tone was light, so that people could not tell whether it was his rejection or concern for him.

Ling Shaotang looked at her and wanted to laugh when he heard her words, but he couldn't.

The only thing he was worried about at the moment was whether she was injured or not, whether she was okay, even if this arm was useless, so what?! She's fine, even if she scraps his two arms, as long as she doesn't dislike it, he's willing.

However, he didn't have a chance to say these words, because the adjutant general stepped forward and said to him: "My lord, the spies just came to report that a large number of people and horses have been encircled from the rear of the Northwest Army, and several Northwest soldiers have been captured, but the other party has not raised the military flag, so it is impossible to distinguish whether it is an enemy or a friend for a while......

After hearing this, Ling Shaotang's face changed, he hurriedly turned over and got on his horse, and before leaving, he explained to the deputy general: "Escort her back to the city for me!" ”

"Charge? Escort back?! The adjutant general was stunned for a moment and blurted out.

Ling Shaotang glanced at him and didn't reply: "Yes, take it back!" ”

"Yes!" The adjutant general arched his hand at his back, glanced at his wife with some embarrassment, and said dryly: "Miss girl, look at this ......"

The woman smiled at him harshly: "I'll go back to the city with you......"

"Thank you, girl, for your understanding......" the lieutenant arched his hand at her.

However, just as she was about to turn over and get on the horse, her lower abdomen throbbed violently for a moment, and she immediately lost consciousness......

Kyoto, the Shogun's Palace.

Su Luan is peeling green shrimp with a knife in his hand in the small kitchen. The palm-long green shrimp, glowing with green jade, was jumping around in the bamboo basket, and the cook in the stove room couldn't help but be a little stunned when she looked at her young lady's neat movements.

"Miss, this shrimp peeling job is still a slave maid...... "When she entered the mansion, Mrs. Xian had already passed away, although Jiang Hongxuan occasionally cooked, but most of them were just for show. Seeing Su Luan's appearance now, she was a little at a loss, and she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

Su Luan looked at her panicked appearance and smiled softly: "It's okay, then you can help me remove all the shrimp lines I have taken from these shrimps, remember, don't completely peel off the skin of this shrimp, and cut off the shrimp whiskers." ”

Hearing her say this, the cook's tense heart relaxed slightly: "Yes, the slave knows." ”

Su Luan saw that she was doing well, so she turned to the stove, took the dried peppercorns and star anise bought from the Fanbang merchants and poured them into the pot, slowly stir-fried over low heat, and waited until the color became darker, and then poured out the pepper star anise. Subsequently, the fine salt is poured into the pan and sautéed until brown.

The bell on the side saw the novelty, so he leaned over and asked, "Miss, what are you doing here?" "Funny

Su Luan bent his eyes and replied with a smile: "Salt and pepper." ”

"Salt and pepper? What is that? The bell scratched her head, two points stranger.

"It's a delicious spice." Su Luan's hand paused slightly, and Wen Sheng explained.

The bell nodded as if she didn't understand, and sighed: "Miss knows so many things, but this salt and pepper slave has never even heard of it." ”

"It's just a coincidence." Su Luan said casually, and then mixed the fried fine salt and Sichuan pepper star anise, poured it into the mortar, and pounded it carefully.

After touching half a cup of tea, the cook brought a small pot of peeled green shrimp to her: "Miss, this shrimp is peeled." ”

Su Luan took it, picked up two of them casually and took a look, only to see that the shrimp meat was exceptionally complete, and even the shell was neat, and he couldn't help but praise: "Your hands and feet are really sharp!" ”

The cook has been in the back kitchen all day long, where has she heard such praise, and now she bows her head a little uncomfortably.

"It's almost time for lunch, you can prepare it first, I'll just make this one dish, just give my dad a taste."

"Yes, the slave will prepare."

Su Luan put the blue and white bowl of shrimp next to the stove, took the green onion and ginger and cut it into sections, put a little rice wine, poured a little soy sauce and fine salt, added some dry pepper, and grasped it carefully.

While the shrimp were marinated, she took the spicy seeds, green onions and garlic and chopped them into minced pieces and set them on a plate for later use.

Then, she took a white porcelain bowl and handed it to the bell: "Go and help me get some cornstarch." ”

"Okay." The bell was idle and had nothing to do, and now when he heard his young lady's instructions, he hurriedly reached out and took the porcelain bowl, and went to the side of the mother-in-law who was doing chores to beg for cornstarch.

Su Luan poured the oil into the pot, touched it to be about seventy percent hot, and then quickly rolled the drained green shrimp in the cornstarch, and then slowly put it into the oil pot.

As soon as the shrimp got out of the pot, they were wrapped in the golden dense bubbles, and then there was a crisp sizzling sound, and the smell of fresh fragrance overflowed the whole stove.

The mother-in-law who was choosing vegetables on the side was frequently hooked by this smell, and the bell standing next to the oil pot couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Su Luan's movements were very fast, and after a while, a plate of fried golden and crispy prawns came out of the pot.

Bell's eyes were shining, sticking to the prawns and not understanding, the little tongue subconsciously licked his lips, and he got rid of a little gluttonous cat.

Seeing this, Su Luan reached out and tapped her forehead, teasing her: "Gluttonous cat!" ”

Bell smiled embarrassedly and smacked her lips: "It's all because Miss is too fragrant!" ”

"This smells good?!" Su Luan glanced at her, "The more fragrant is still to come!" ”

As she spoke, she started another pot, poured a little oil, poured the spicy seeds, green onions and garlic into the pot and stir-fried them, and then put the fried shrimp into the pot and stir-fried, and a spicy and spicy fragrance entered everyone's noses.

Before leaving the pot, she sprinkled the ground salt and pepper powder into the pot and tossed it out.
