Ye Sheng hurriedly came to Dugu Aoxue's study, and Dugu Aoxue was leaning on a chair and chewing a mint candy to refresh herself. Glancing at the mints on the plate, Ye Sheng reached out and took out two of them and put them in his mouth, and then sat on the chair opposite Dugu Aoxue, "I've been very busy lately?" I received a lot of gifts! ”

Seeing that this kid mentioned this kind of thing as soon as he entered the door, Dugu Aoxue glanced at Ye Sheng with something wrong in his eyes, he was really a cheeky guy. Listening to this tone, this is coming to ask for money! Dugu Aoxue's face was expressionless, and she said, "How much do you want!" ”

"What?" Ye Sheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Dugu Aoxue's eyes, he pursed his lips, straightened his waist and slapped the table and said, "Am I the kind of person who is brazen!" Brother Dugu has taken care of my food, clothing, housing and transportation during this time, and I am already very grateful! How can you still reach out and ask for money! I can't do this kind of shameless thing! ”

"And what are you going to do?" Dugu Aoxue stared at him suspiciously, full of disbelief, he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Ye Sheng, a mercenary guy, since he entered his mansion, then he must have asked for something, otherwise, he would definitely not think of having such a number one person as himself.

"It's a little trifle! I can't delay you for long! Ye Sheng smiled, then took out the jade pendant without a trace and handed it to Dugu Aoxue. Dugu Aoxue didn't stretch out her hand to take it, but just glanced at it suspiciously, and then asked, "You have no money to spend, so you want to find me to be this thing?" I don't take it! ”

"Look! It's vulgar to be full of money! Ye Sheng glanced at Dugu Aoxue reproachfully, "Brother Dugu, you are well-informed, I just want you to see what the origin of this jade pendant can be!" "It's as simple as that?" "It's that simple!"

Getting Ye Sheng's affirmative look, Dugu Aoxue took the jade pendant, looked at the crystal bright Hetian jade, rubbed her fingers lightly, and said, "This jade pendant is pure in material and well-made, although it is an inconspicuous thing, but I am afraid it is a high-grade jade worth ten thousand taels." ”

Worth 10,000 taels? So precious? Ye Sheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help it, grabbing Dugu Aoxue's hand and sympathizing with him, "Brother Dugu, look at your personable and heroic demeanor, but there is one less high-grade jade pendant on your body, it's not as good as this, nine thousand taels!" This jade pendant will be given to you! ”

Dugu Aoxue raised her eyebrows, shook off Ye Sheng's hand, and seemed to smile, "I'm going to send off guests." "Hey, just kidding! Brother Dugu, you are so naughty! Ye Sheng restrained his smile and asked, "I wonder if Brother Dugu can see the origin of this jade pendant?" ”

"This jade pendant, not yours?" Dugu Aoxue was suspicious, looking Ye Sheng up and down, "Where did you get it from?" "It's mine." Ye Sheng's face did not change, "I bought it from an old man begging on the street for ten steamed buns, so I want to find Brother Dugu to check the authenticity!" ”

Dugu Aoxue didn't believe this reason at all, and looked at the jade pendant for a moment, and then he returned the item to Ye Sheng, "If it was stolen, I advise you to return it." There are not many people in the rivers and lakes who can afford this thing and have the surname Hua. Dugu Aoxue looked at the carved word 'flower' in the center of the jade pendant and said, "The Shaanxi flower family is a big businessman, and the property is piled up. The Guangxi Hua family has trained three major generals, both up and down are serving the imperial court, and they are the most important talents of the emperor of the Cao Dynasty. Either way, you can't afford to mess with them. ”

Ye Sheng touched his head and asked curiously, "So, what is the big guy with the surname Beiliang surnamed Hua?" "Bei Liang?" Dugu Aoxue was suspicious, "You stole this jade pendant from a young man from Beiliang?" "How can I, Ye Sheng, be the one who steals jade and incense?" Ye Sheng was seized, glared and said, "If Brother Dugu slanders me like this again, I will break off my friendship with you!" ”

I don't remember any kindness I have with you! Shaking her head disdainfully, Dugu Aoxue continued, "Beiliang is located in the northernmost part of the Central Plains, where the imperial court is weak, and it is also an area of chaos. The prince of Beiliang is notoriously not controlled by the emperor, and it is rumored that the prince of Beiliang intends to rebel, and it is not a day or two. ”

Another prince? Thinking of Hua Wuji's identity, Ye Sheng was a little shocked, "Hey, no, shouldn't the prince of Beiliang be surnamed Tang?" Why the surname Flower! Dugu Aoxue stared at Ye Sheng expressionlessly, "When did I say that the surname of the prince of Beiliang is Hua." "Who is the surname of Bei Liang?"

"That's what I'm going to say, the Beiliang forces are chaotic, except for the unified soldiers and horses under the King of Beiliang, the people in the rivers and lakes are mixed, and they all have surnames and everything, but they should all be unknown juniors!" Dugu Aoxue glanced at the jade pendant on the table, and added, "At most, there are some young talents who have been entangled in their families but have not been able to make a name for themselves in Beiliang, so they are not to be afraid." ”

I see! Ye Sheng smiled, extremely happy, so to speak, even if Hua Wuxian was slaughtered, there would be no one chasing after him to find trouble? "Thank you Brother Dugu, then, I take my leave! I'll treat you to dinner another day! The answer to the question he wanted had been obtained, and Ye Sheng immediately got up and waved goodbye.

Seeing Ye Sheng leave so neatly, Dugu Aoxue smiled and shook his head, this kid's so-called 'another day' may be a hundred years later! It's just that the jade pendant is indeed a lot of money, I don't know, who does Ye Sheng know again?

Back in the inn, Ye Sheng did not rush to visit his enemy Hua Wuxian, but went to the kitchen first. The back kitchen is a place of smoke and is rarely visited. A chef was eating the meat slices in the spoon while stir-frying with a spoon, watching the less and less meat stir-fried in the pot, Ye Sheng's face showed admiration, it was also a kind of work to be able to reduce this meat slice invisibly.

"Do you have any specialties here?" Ye Sheng asked out loud, the chef who had never seen Ye Sheng was startled, and hurriedly swallowed the meat slices in his mouth, he said with a smile, "What kind of dishes do you want to eat, you can go to the shopkeeper to ask, it's so dirty here, the guest officer should go out quickly!" ”

"Out of the way, I'll see!" Ye Sheng patted the chef on the shoulder and took a short turn in the kitchen, "Tonight, bring me a stick mallet stewed prawns, steamed abalone and a crispy roast chicken!" "What's this, what is a mallet?" The chef nodded again and again, and then asked puzzledly, "Guest officer, what is a mallet?" ”

Ye Sheng stretched out his hand and pointed, "That's it!" The chef looked in the direction of Ye Sheng's finger and saw the corn hanging on the wall, "Oh, okay, the little one knows." At the same time, taking the opportunity of the chef turning his head, Ye Sheng's fingers moved slightly, and the medicinal powder was poured into the bucket on the stove one after another.

Whether it is stir-frying or making soup, the chef has to take water from this wooden barrel, so naturally, the medicinal powder in the water will also be invisibly absorbed. Ye Sheng smiled, and then slowly left the kitchen. Because of the poison of the cold ice palm, he has long been unable to use the Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand, whether it is to kill the enemy head-on or assassinate him behind his back, he has little chance of winning against a guy like Shanghua Wuxi.

After thinking about it, Ye Sheng chose the plan of using poison. It's just that the medicinal powder that was poured in the water just now is not highly poisonous, but a powder made by mashing and grinding the very common herb 'Hui Cao' and Prunella vulgaris. Mix it with water and you'll be fine whether you drink one bowl of water or ten bowls of water.

It is recorded in the "Neijing" that Huicao and Prunella vulgaris are both cold herbs, and should not be taken with hot food, otherwise they will bleed from the stomach and intestines and die. After a while, Ye Sheng was going to raise a glass with Hua Wuxian to drink, not only that, but he also asked him to make two dishes, prawns and abalone. Wine, prawns, and abalone are all warm foods, and taking them together with prunella vulgaris and huicao will cause food poisoning, gastrointestinal perforation and bleeding to death!

Flowers without a trace, flowers without a trace, you hurt me first, don't blame me for being ruthless! After poisoning you, wouldn't it be beautiful to take the golden fan, jade pendant, silver ticket and the like on your body for your own! Thinking of his secret and perfect plan, Ye Sheng grinned, smiling lewdly.

At dinnertime, the shopkeeper sent Wu Yong the three dishes he wanted, and glanced at the two soup dishes, prawns and abalone, Ye Sheng was satisfied, came to the next door, and knocked on the door of the flower without a trace. "Who?" Hua Wuxian made a sound, his voice was vigilant, presumably he was meditating and cultivating.

Ye Sheng's eyes rolled, and he immediately slammed the door and wanted to break in to scare him, but Hua Wuxian, the chicken thief, had already locked the door bolt. Hua Wuxian held his breath, got up quickly, opened the door with a golden fan in his hand, glanced at it coldly, and then said with a smile, "It turned out to be Brother Tai, did you come to see if I ran away?" ”

"Hey, it's just a copy of the "Red Flower Stick Method", and I haven't been so stingy." Ye Sheng smiled, "It's not early, I ordered some food, let's drink together and have a good chat." "Good! I love making friends the most! Hua Wuxian hugged his fists, looking forward to it, "Please!" ”

The two of them went back to the house and sat down, Hua Wuxian glanced at the three dishes on the table, and stopped talking, and finally only turned into a flat smile, "What a hearty dish." "Hua Wuxian is out of the house, no matter where he eats, he eats five dishes and two soups, although there are fewer dishes on this table, but Hua Wuxian is embarrassed to continue to remind.

Ye Sheng enthusiastically poured Hua Wuxian full of Huadiao wine, and then filled a cup of it himself, and the dish had not moved, so he had already begun to toast, "Hua Shaoxia is refreshing and heroic, I used to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so ah, now I apologize to you!" Since the "Red Flower Stick Method" has been rented to you for twelve hours, then let you see enough, and I won't ask anymore! ”

"Thank you, brother!" Hua Wuxian raised his glass, drank it with Ye Sheng, and then wiped the corners of his mouth, and a smile appeared on his delicate face, "The record of the safflower stick method is too cumbersome and complicated, and I am afraid that twelve hours is not enough for me to learn, and after that, I may need to delay my brother's time more!" ”

"Hey, little meaning, it's okay if I live in Chongqing anyway, you and I are friends now!" Ye Sheng laughed, then picked up the spoon and picked up the bowl without a trace, "Come, this steamed abalone is very nutritious, let me serve it to you for one night!" "Thank you" Hua Wuxian nodded, and there was no fake polite refusal. Look at his appearance, he is really the lord who has been served from childhood to adulthood, food, clothing, housing and transportation, I'm afraid there are people who are serving, right?

Ye Shengxiao's eyes turned to hide his expectation, the corners of his mouth exuded a sincere smile, and he handed the soup bowl back, "Come, taste whether this black abalone is salty or not!" ”
