Chapter Forty-Six: This Is a Madman

Today's weather is good, so the business of the green onion noodle restaurant is booming a lot, Li Hong arrived at the green onion noodle restaurant when Zhou Juan was cooking noodles, Zhou Juan smiled slightly when he saw him, Li Hong nodded lightly, and sat on an empty table and waited.

When this group of guests left, Zhou Juanshen brought a bowl of green onion noodles and a plate of pickles to Li Hong.

"Li Langjun, you taste, how about the pickles made by the slave family?" Zhou Juan asked with some expectation.

The dishes were just pickles made of ordinary vegetables, Li Hong picked up the chopsticks and put a piece in his mouth, it was very crispy, and it had a salty and salty taste, and it tasted very good.

"This pickle—" Li Hong deliberately lengthened his voice, but he didn't say anything about it here.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Juan asked eagerly, this is her first time making pickles, and Li Hong is the only one who knows the recipe for pickles, and Li Hong's evaluation of pickles is very important to her.

Li Hong saw Zhou Juan's anxious look and felt very cute, so he smiled faintly and said, "Not bad! ”

"Really?" Zhou Juan asked happily, "Li Langjun, is it really good?" ”

"Of course!" Li Hong smiled, "This pickle is white and tender, slippery in the mouth, and it is really delicious—"

This sentence was a bit frivolous, but after Zhou Juan heard it, her pretty face was slightly red, but she was not angry.

"If Li Langjun is satisfied, the slave family will go and prepare pickles for you now, and you can take them back when you leave." Zhou Juan said and walked to the back kitchen.

Li Hong didn't stop her, in addition to the fact that he liked the taste of pickles, he also wanted to help Zhou Juan in this way. Because of Zhou Juan's age, she should have married a long time ago, but she has never married, as long as it is still for Zhou Xing.

A woman who is willing to delay her life's events for the sake of her brother's future is worthy of respect.

Li Hong bowed his head to eat noodles after Zhou Juan left, a bowl of green onion noodles was not a lot, but he ate very slowly, and then served a small plate of pickles, and waited until Zhou Juan filled a jar with pickles, took them out and put them on the table in front of him, he drank the last bite of soup in the bowl.

Putting the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Li Hong felt very satisfied.

Zhou Juan saw that Li Hong liked her green onion noodles very much, and every time she came to eat, she was satisfied after eating a bowl, and there was an indescribable sweetness in her heart.

At this time, it was already past the meal, and there were no customers in the noodle restaurant, Li Hong waited for Zhou Juan to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and said to her, "There is no one in the store now, don't be busy, let's chat." ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Juan nodded slightly, poured Li Hong a cup of tea, and sat opposite him.

"Can the Zhou family lady be interested in someone?" Li Hong pondered for a long time before he asked this sentence. Zhou Juan was a little stunned when she suddenly heard Li Hong ask, and shook her head with a slightly red face and said, "Li Langjun said that he was funny, how could the slave family have someone in mind!" ”

Seeing that Li Hong didn't speak, she asked in a low voice, "Does Li Langjun already have someone he likes?" ”

"I just think about her in my heart, I don't know if this counts!" Li Hong sighed. He was really thinking about someone in his heart, and this person was Zhou Juan. A look of loss flashed in Zhou Juan's eyes and said, "Maybe it's counted!" ”

Li Hong nodded slightly, not knowing what to say for a while. After a long time, he heard Zhou Juan say, "People are always so strange, when you like someone, you will miss him in your heart, you want to live with him every day, no matter what you do, you will feel very happy; But when you hate someone, you will take the initiative to distance yourself from him, don't want to contact him anymore, don't want to pay attention to everything about him, and even if you see it, you will be indifferent. ”

"I'd rather be able to meet someone I've always liked in my life than meet one" Zhou Juan said this, as if she suddenly thought of something, she closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Li Hong understood what Zhou Juan was thinking in her heart, and knew more clearly what she was talking about, so he sighed and said, "Why shouldn't I?" ”

After that, there was a long silence, and neither of them spoke again. Li Hong looked at Zhou Juan, Zhou Juan lowered her head and didn't look at him, as if she had something on her mind. After a while, Li Hong still took the initiative to speak, "I've been reading books for the past few days, and I've seen a recipe for making duck eggs, why don't I tell you?" ”

Speaking of cooking, Zhou Juan raised her head and asked, "If it's the case, the slave family wants to hear it." ”

Li Hong thought of the recipe for making duck eggs was preserved eggs, so he told Zhou Juan how to make preserved eggs.

Because preserved eggs are also known as Songhua eggs or changed eggs, it is a traditional flavor egg product, which is not only loved by the public, but also has certain medicinal value. It is commonly used to treat sore throat, pharyngeal therapy, hoarseness, constipation, and fire. Li Hongcai was willing to tell Zhou Juan how to make preserved eggs.

Zhou Juan's eyes lit up after hearing this, because she saw business opportunities in the preserved eggs that Li Hong said.

"The slave family will try it according to what Li Langjun said, and if it is successful, then give it to Li Langjun to taste?" Zhou Juan asked Li Hong.

"No problem." Li Hong nodded.

The two chatted about the production of preserved eggs again, and Li Hong left the green onion noodle restaurant.

When he was in the scallion noodle restaurant, Li Hong felt that he had nothing to say, but he was a little reluctant when he was about to leave.

Zhou Juan also felt this way, when Li Hong was in the green onion noodle restaurant, she didn't know what to say to Li Hong, but she felt that it was good to have such a person by her side, and she felt that it was very peaceful to stay by Li Hong's side, which made her feel very calm, and when Li Hong was about to leave, a feeling of reluctance came to her heart. Looking at the back of Li Hong leaving, Zhou Juan did not chase out like last time to return the hairpin to Li Hong, but stroked the hairpin in her hand in a daze.

When Li Hong left the green onion noodles, his mood became a little bad, and he didn't know why he had the urge to drink after chatting with Zhou Juan.

On a bad day, you have to drink some wine -- a true portrayal of Li Hong's current mood at this time.

"Your Highness, shall we go back to the palace?" Chen Gong on the side saw that the prince was in a bad mood, so he asked in a low voice.

"It's still early, let's go shopping again." Li Hong said, then ignored Chen Gong, and walked forward alone.

Chen Gong didn't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in such a bad mood when he left the green onion noodle restaurant, so he cautiously followed behind. As the prince's personal guard general, his duty is to protect the prince's safety, so he doesn't dare to be negligent at all about this kind of loitering.

At this moment, the excuse ran out of a small child, less than ten years old, thin and small. As the child ran, he looked back as if someone was chasing him. Chen Gong saw the child coming straight to the prince, so he was about to step forward and yell but was stopped by Li Hong, he saw the child running towards him, so he said kindly, "Little brother, what's wrong with you, why are you running in such a hurry?" Will anyone chase you again? ”

When the child ran to a distance of only a few steps from Li Hong, he suddenly stopped. Li Hong only felt a murderous aura attacking him, and his body instinctively dodged to the right, and then he heard a "whoosh", and a hidden arrow slashed through his neck and shot at the guards behind him.

"Ahh

"There are assassins, protect Your Highness—" Chen Gong was closest to Li Hong, and he was the first to notice the situation, so he shouted loudly. His people also rushed to Li Hong for the first time. When the child's first arrow was missed, he aimed his right hand at Li Hong, and short arrows were shot out of his sleeve one after another.

"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-!" Three hidden arrows were fired at Li Hong's throat, chest, and abdomen.

With the dodge in between, Li Hong was more calm when he dodged this time, and his body dodged again, and he easily dodged the three feather arrows.

At this time, because he had practiced the mantra taught by Sun Simiao, and because of the strong body of the knife practitioner and the keen sense of smell, if he had encountered this assassination before, it is estimated that he would have died a long time ago.

"Your Highness stand back!" At this time, Chen Gong had already rushed forward, and with a "sonorous" embroidered spring knife out of the sheath, he slashed at the boy in front. Dare to assassinate the prince, even if you are just a child, Chen Gong will not let it go.

"Pss

"Chen Gong, you-" Li Hong was also a little angry when he saw this scene, Chen Gong's methods were too ruthless, right? It's just that before his words fell, he once again felt a chilling murderous aura attacking him, and as soon as his body instinctively dodged, he heard a "Zheng" sound, and a feather arrow stared at the place where he was standing just now. As this feather arrow was fired, dozens of feathered arrows were shot at him one after another.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Chen Gong jumped forward, pulled Li Hong behind him, and slashed at the feather arrows that shot at Li Hong, "click" a knife cut out, three feather arrows were broken, and Li Hong also escaped a catastrophe, and at this time Li Hong's personal guards also came back to their senses, and swarmed up, surrounding him and Chen Gong in the middle.

The feather arrows were very dense, and after only two rounds were fired, the arrows fell to the ground by the mortal guards.

"Chen Gong, what's the situation?" Seeing his guards lying in a pool of blood one by one, and hearing their screams, Li Hong asked Chen Gong in shock. Although he escaped the assassination of the little boy and the shooting of a feathered arrow, he still felt very frightened at this time.

"Your Highness, we have encountered an assassination by the enemy, which seems to have been premeditated for a long time!" Chen Gong said in a stern tone. Dare to assassinate the current Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Chang'an City in broad daylight, the courage of this group of assassins is too great, right?

"Ahh

The situation at the scene suddenly fell into a crisis!

Chen Gong found that the arrow was shot from the courtyards on both sides of the main street, so he immediately ordered everyone to escort the prince to rush through the street in front, but at this moment he saw a group of black-clothed people suddenly appear on the street, all of them were armed with bright long knives, killing his side.
