Chapter 156: Ji Xiaoxiao's Death
In the next few days, all the servants of Sujiazhuang were busy dealing with locusts. The Zhuangzi is filled with the fragrance of locust powder, which makes people can't help but salivate when they smell it.
After the locust powder is made, it is necessary to save it for later use, and naturally it will not be given to them to taste it at the moment.
However, Su Ziheng didn't let them drool dryly, he deliberately fried a plate of locusts wrapped in egg starch for them to taste. Originally, many people who did not dare to eat locusts were inextricably hooked by the wonderful taste after eating fried locusts.
There are even some addicted guys who secretly go out into the wild to catch locusts and fry them themselves, which makes Su Ziheng stunned after hearing it. Although the locust swarm in the direction of Sujiazhuang has been dispersed by the Shenlong battleship, there are still many scattered locusts.
Originally, these scattered locusts could also cause no harm to crops, but as a result, under the capture of this group of greedy guys, the locusts were almost extinct near Sujiazhuang.
After the locust ingredients were made, Su Ziheng did not swallow them alone, but arranged for someone to send one to Zhong Qinghan, Zhao Wan'er, Ji and Song Jianming and others.
The delicious ingredients made from locusts were personally brought by the housekeeper Qian Lu to deliver them. After coming back, Qian Lu returned, except for Miss Ji's who did not deliver, the others accepted it happily and expressed their gratitude.
Su Ziheng frowned and said, "Why didn't the girl's delivery be delivered?" ”
Qian Lu replied: "Master, according to the flower lady of Nuanxiang Pavilion, the girl went out early in the morning and has not returned yet. But I've already handed over the ingredients to the flower girl to help hand them over. ”
Su Ziheng nodded, "I know, Uncle Qian is sorry for you, you go down and get busy first." With that, he buried his head on the desk and wrote a plan, which was the work that Sujiazhuang was going to carry out in the next period of time.
Now that the locust plague has dispersed, the people of the entire Sujiazhuang can't sit still, and there are still many things waiting for them to do.
As for Ji's side, although Su Ziheng was very curious about her whereabouts, after all, he was from the earth and was quite open-minded, even if he didn't look at the woman he liked, he wouldn't look at her very closely, and he couldn't wait to lock her in his own house and not let her go anywhere.
……
……
Lian Feng glanced at the food box sent by Qian Lu, carried it to her sister's study, and said with a smile: "Sister, Su Gongzi sent someone to bring you food, do you want to taste it?" ”
Zhong Qinghan didn't raise his head, looked at the information in his hand intently, and asked casually, "What is it?" How to think of sending something to eat. ”
Lian Feng opened the food box and said, "Listen to the money steward is a locust, and it is the first time for the slave to hear that locusts can also be used as ingredients." If it weren't for the fact that Steward Qian swore that it was a very delicious food, the slaves and maids would have wanted to throw it away on the spot. ”
Zhong Qinghan also looked surprised, because he heard the word "locust", put down the information in his hand, and walked over curiously.
As soon as the food box was opened, a rich fragrance wafted out.
Zhong Qinghan and Lian Feng both sniffed involuntarily, "It's really fragrant, sister, wait for a while, and wait for the slave to taste it first." ”
Zhong Qinghan ignored her, reached out and grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the food box, sandwiched a locust wrapped in egg starch and fried it into his mouth, and praised while eating: "Well, it's crispy and delicious, it's crunchy in your mouth, and it tastes good." Taste it too. ”
Lianfeng stomped his feet and said, "Sister, the slave hasn't helped you try the food yet." How can you eat first, in case ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhong Qinghan, "Okay, can't you believe Su Gongzi's character?" How could he harm me. ”
Lian Feng sighed, "Having said that, after all, it wasn't sent by Su Gongzi himself, who knows if someone will drop the bag in the middle." Sister, it's better to be cautious. ”
Zhong Qinghan said "um" and pushed the food box in front of her, "It's really delicious, do you want to try two?" If you don't eat it, I'll eat it up in a while. ”
Lian Feng shook his head helplessly, and he didn't know what kind of demon his sister had with Su Ziheng, and she trusted him so much. Sister has never been such a person before, and she is not at ease with anyone......
Just as Zhong Qinghan's master and servant were eating sweetly, a guard ran in from outside and presented a secret report, "Sister Qiqi, the person in charge of Chang'an, the capital of the Secret Investigation Division, sent an urgent report of eight hundred miles. ”
Zhong Qinghan and Lian Feng's faces changed, and Lian Feng hurriedly took a few steps forward, took the secret report from the guard's hand, and said coldly: "You go down first." ”
"Yes!"
The 800-mile emergency report in Chang'an, the capital, is the first time in three years that the Secret Investigation Department has delivered such an urgent message, and I don't know what happened in Chang'an?
Zhong Qinghan opened the secret report and looked at it, and suddenly his eyebrows tightened, his face was gloomy as water, and he didn't live in the room and stomped his steps, as if he was thinking about something difficult.
Lian Feng asked curiously, "Sister, what happened?" ”
Zhong Qinghan handed her the secret report, and said quietly: "There will be disputes at the border again." ”
Lian Feng took the secret report and looked at it, and suddenly lost his voice: "What?!" Meng Yuanguo and his pro-envoy group were intercepted and killed in Yongzhou, and Princess Yongning and the accompanying escort leader Dalu Huachi in the envoy group both disappeared, and none of the other entourages survived. ”
After a long time, she said in a trembling voice: "Who is so bold that he dares to intercept and kill the envoys of Meng Yuanguo?" This is really going to be a big deal. ”
Who is Princess Yongning?
She is the sister-in-law of Meng Ke, the Khan of the Mengyuan Empire, and she is also a powerful figure in the Mengyuan Empire, and she is a princess with the same power as other princes.
If it weren't for the unstable border of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north of the Mengyuan Empire, Meng Ke was afraid that fighting on the north and south lines would drag the Mengyuan Empire into a land of no return, and it would not be Princess Yongning's turn to make peace with Great Xia.
Even if the two countries are peaceful, Princess Yongning's peace object is the current Xia Emperor, not a prince or other nobles in Great Xia, so you know the weight of Princess Yongning.
But now......
Princess Yongning was robbed and killed in the territory of Great Xia...... If this news is transmitted back to the Mengyuan Empire, what serious consequences will it cause? It's chilling to think about.
No wonder there was another dispute at the border just now......
Lian Feng looked at Zhong Qinghan with a solemn expression, and swallowed hard, "Sister, what should we do next?" ”
Zhong Qinghan took a deep breath and calmly arranged: "All the Black Crow Army is on standby, ready to deal with the possible war at any time. In addition, arrange for the secret investigation department to step up the elimination of the secret agents of the Mengyuan State in Liangzhou, and if it is discovered, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one. ”
Lianfeng knelt down on one knee and answered in a deep voice: "Obey!" ”
Raising her head, she seemed to remember something, and asked Chi Chi: "Sister, ...... over there?" ”
A hint of struggle flashed in Zhong Qinghan's eyes, but his tone was very cold, "If her identity is really doubtful, for the sake of Liangzhou, I can only be sorry for her!" ”
Before Lianfeng could give this order to the Secret Investigation Division, she received a message from the Secret Investigation Division, and not long after, Ji died!
