Chapter 45: There are no surprises

When you have more people, the better it will be to decide. Assuming that there are now five people who are all Xiangyin Sect disciples, how can they make them not feel that they have killed people on the premise of killing people? It's easy to do. The five people received five orders without their knowledge - all of them were opaque and unaware of each other, but they could also be corroborated after the fact. A learns that he is looking for a knife, B is told that he is going to sharpen a knife, and C and Ding Mao are respectively told that they are going to put the knife somewhere, to contact someone, to ask someone to stand somewhere. Sounds pretty piecemeal, doesn't it? These five men had the other task of entrusting people who were not believers among them to do unrelated things...... These irrelevance accumulates layer by layer, and there is a relationship. Putting it all together is a murder, but everyone doesn't feel like a murderer. They all felt that they were just obeying orders or doing someone a favor in exchange for payment. ”

It was very quiet.

"." Bai Ya scolded, "It's so fucking shameless." ”

"But you can't say who's at fault. They just do their part...... Naturally, we have no way of knowing whether they killed or not. Blatantly asking for someone's life is not the style of the Xiangyin Sect, I'm just giving an example. ”

"You can name this kind of example, I'm afraid you are still biased against them, right?"

Qi Huan asked tentatively, but Liu Shenghan neither answered nor nodded. However, she did not shake her head in denial.

Straight to the point. Bai Ya was always very sober, what they discussed at the beginning.

"So, the monarch was swept up? On this basis, do you doubt his loyalty? ”

She put it this way: "This is what I have observed for a long time, and I cannot explain it to you overnight. Believe me, and I'll tell you why—if he is a devout believer, he will expose us at the first sight when he finds out that the painting is not the Incense God, and righteously ask for the true portrait. ”

Jun Aoyan thoughtfully: "But he didn't ......"

"Not only did I not, but I didn't even say what was on the painting......"

Qi Huan thought again, his nails kept tapping on the tabletop, making a clicking sound.

"If he says it's him, everyone in the court will doubt our identity. But he didn't say it: he was protecting us, so he didn't expose our 'wrong' schemes. But this doesn't mean that we can't get off the stage, we just say that we can't get the wrong painting? ”

"Then why didn't you say that there were two when you paid tribute?"

"Are you stupid?" Bai Ya directly confronted Ao Yan, "I'm afraid that Qianminpo's shelf is very big, if he is really equal to the monarch, I'm afraid there will be a lot of opinions." The king of this country doesn't want to get into trouble. ”

"Then he also made it clear that it wasn't this thing?"

"At best, the people around him feel that we just want to bribe him and increase the possibility of asking to see the incense god, and they don't think too much."

"I see......"

"The chills are amazing!"

After this check, Jun Aoyan's impression of Miss Liu has improved by more than one notch. The other two naturally admit that she is intelligent, but after staying here long enough, the more people they meet, the more things they know, and they can always come to a similar conclusion. It's also hard for her to spend so much time here alone.

They wanted to review something else, but at this moment, Ah Jiang suddenly knocked on the door. So they had to give up the brief conversation and call her in. She was accompanied by two maids, both with plates, and about all the dishes of the meal were put on the table. This is not the same as their hometown, ordinary people are just that, I heard that the nobles eat or feast guests, different dishes have different orders, and everywhere is exquisite.

A few people didn't say anything, it would be good to have food to eat, and there were a lot of tricks. The other two saluted and then withdrew, and Ah Jiang stood at the table with a tray with a few wet handkerchiefs in it.

The food in Xiangji Country seems to be too normal. They hadn't eaten anything for so long, and they were all hungry. But is there something missing on this table? Bai Ya held back for a long time, and said slowly:

"It's a preparation...... Grab it by hand? ”

"Where's the chopsticks?" Jun Aoyan also asked.

"Chopsticks?" Ah Jiang looked confused, "What chopsticks?" Ahh ”

"Uh, yes! Where is it? ”

"We don't need that stuff here." Ah Jiang explained, "Just grab what you want to eat with your hands." You see, these handkerchiefs soaked in flower juice are used to wipe your hands before meals. ”

Jun Aoyan didn't mind, after all, their military life was so simple and rude, a little more particular, you could break two straight branches on the spot. Because Liu Shenghan knew it, he had no objections. Although Bai Ya and Qi Huan have not lived such an unrefined life, it is just that as the norm of the whole country, it is still difficult to get used to such a short time.

“…… Yes. ”

Bai Ya raised his hand and grabbed a handkerchief casually and rubbed it casually. The handkerchiefs were so soft that they looked like juicy petals and had a pale pink hue. The pink handkerchief immediately turned him gray. Ah Jiang handed over the tray and everyone took it to wipe their hands. Jun Aoyan lowered his head and sniffed twice.

"It smells so good."

"It doesn't matter if you wipe it clean or not, the incense will be over anyway." Bai Ya scoffed.

In the morning, they casually put some dry food, and by this time the sky had darkened, and they were all hungry. Qi Huan just stretched out his claws and landed on a fruit, grabbed it and prepared to send it to his mouth. Ah Jiang suddenly took a step forward, and stopped talking.

"What for?" Qi Huan's hand froze at the edge of his mouth, "Can't you eat this thing?" ”

"That's got to ...... Peel off. Ah Jiang gestured cautiously.

"Peel off?"

"That's right. You see there's an eye in the back, and you can break it open from there, and eat what's inside. ”

Bai Ya tried to do so, and the white filling was revealed in the warm fruit, steaming. The stuffing was like rice, but it was just a grain of yellowish-white fine sand mixed with minced pulp. It smells sweet and tastes sweet.

"That's right." Ah Jiang was as happy as a child who had just learned to eat, "That black and purple shell must not be eaten, it will be poisoned if you eat it." ”

Their hands froze in the air, and they didn't know whether to move or not. Ah Jiang continued to explain, saying that it is not a big deal to get some of it, but the lips will be numb, and it will be okay if you eat it. And the filling inside is the staple food of Xiangji country. It started as a crop that was widely cultivated in a town in the past, from a hollow tree that produced starch inside before flowering. It's just that once it blooms, the contents of dozens of catties and hundreds of catties will be wiped out overnight. Later, it was discovered that the tree was easy to feed and that it was low cost and high yield, so farmers planted it widely. As for the method, it is mixed with water, put it in the bamboo or fruit and steam it in a pot. Usually chopped vegetables or fruits are added to it. The black-purple fruit is also very interesting. It is said that the whole fruit is poisonous, but when heated in boiling water, the flesh spreads outward, forming a thick, brittle skin with the outer skin, which weakens the toxicity. Fill it with rice and put it in the pot for the second time to steam.

That's the staple food. Next, Ah Jiang really taught them what to eat one by one. It turns out that the temperature of every food on this table is just right, and with the change of eating time, the hot ones gradually cool, the hard ones slowly soften, and each dish is eaten in the mouth at the most suitable time. This made a few people feel very fresh.

Perhaps the most unbearable thing is a rabbit wrapped in the internal organs of an animal. Similar to one wrapped in the other, they have only eaten called flower chicken, belly wrapped chicken, rabbit meat this is the first time - or a plucked whole rabbit. Although they had heard similar dishes in their hometown, they didn't know that they were so fishy. Qi Huan muttered quietly, saying that this thing is well done, and there should be no peculiar smell. But Ah Jiang just said that this is the specialty dish of the imperial dining room, which is the original taste.

"Then why don't I chase the rabbit and nibble."

This is Bai Ya's evaluation.

The clay pot with the lid all the way around is a soup. Liu Shenghan said that she had been looking forward to this dish for a long time, and she had been thinking about it since she had it at the banquet last time, which made others want to move. By the time the lid can be opened, the soup is just right. It's a pity that there is only a big spoon for dividing the soup, and there are no chopsticks or small spoons.

It was a mushroom pot.

It sounded very ordinary, but it still made a few people unable to speak, only Liu Shenghan naturally picked up the bowl. The reason for this is probably that its color is so strange. As we all know, brightly colored mushrooms are their warning, and if they are not discouraged from eating them, they can be fatal in serious cases. The mushrooms are not chopped, but placed in the pot as they are until cooked.

Jun Aoyan's expression was indescribable. She looked at Liu Shenghan, who was elegantly blowing on the noodle soup, and was a little embarrassed. Holding the bowl, she spun it around slightly, observing its contents. There are blue reticulograms, like a net pocket; The green umbrella cover is still decorated with golden "water droplets", which have not even been destroyed; A stick-shaped pink mushroom that looks like a misshapen sarcoma. Although none of them were too big, and she looked up at the other people's bowls and there were more exaggerated things, she really didn't have the courage to chew and swallow.

"You're in for a good mouth!" Ah Jiang said seriously, "In order to maintain the shape and color of the mushrooms, it should be simmered for a few hours. If it weren't for the king's greed today, he wouldn't have had time to prepare for you. But this thing is a big pot as soon as it is made, and those of us who have a good relationship with the imperial dining room can also get a piece of the pie. ”

"Ah......h Look—"

"Don't look."

"Can this really ......" Jun Aoyan frowned and looked at Liu Shenghan, "Won't something happen?" ”

"I suggest that you Mrs. Liu see if you have died of poison within a quarter of an hour, and then make a decision."

Qi Huan frowned: "Why are you so damaged." ”

"Then you come."

"No, no, no, no, you're too polite."
