Chapter 80: The Beginning and the End
"It turns out that Mrs. Zhuang Hui is Concubine Niangniang, in Xia Lao Tan, I don't know if Niangniang still has an impression, about three months ago, we have already met in the Red Fire Forest." Lao Tan arched his hand and smiled.
"We've met?" Zhuang Huiniang's face was still suspicious, and she looked at Lao Tan carefully for a long time and still didn't recognize it.
Seeing this, Lao Tan smiled bitterly and said: "I'm sorry, my appearance and figure are the same as those at that time, don't feel strange if my mother didn't recognize it." When she was in the Red Fire Forest, Niangniang was being chased and killed by the man in black, so I don't know if Niangniang has any impression. ”
When Chihuolin met, Lao Tan was still a handsome teenager, but now he has become a big fat boy, no wonder Zhuang Huiniang and the horseman surnamed Che have no impression.
was reminded by Lao Tan like this, Zhuang Huiniang thought carefully for a while and finally remembered, "You were the little brother at that time?" ”
Lao Tan remembered the token given by Zhuang Huiniang that day, and hurriedly took it out of his arms, "Niangniang also gave the next jade wrench that day, I don't know if Niangniang remembered it?" ”
Seeing the jade wrench in Lao Tan's hand, Zhuang Huiniang was even more sure that Lao Tan was the boy who saved her in the Red Fire Forest that day, although she didn't understand why Lao Tan's appearance and figure had changed greatly in just a few months, but she was still very excited: "It turned out to be really you, little brother, I didn't expect us to meet so soon." ”
At this time, the horseman surnamed Che, who was holding Lao Tan's feet, was also shocked, and he also recognized the jade wrench in Lao Tan's hand, which was Zhuang Huiniang's personal belongings, and there would never be anything wrong.
"Brother Che, right? Can you let go of your hands now? Lao Tan said to the horseman surnamed Che who was still holding his feet.
The horseman surnamed Che let go of his hand awkwardly and was about to stand up, but he was inadvertently involved in the injuries on his body, and his body was about to fall in a blink of an eye.
Lao Tan's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly supported the horseman surnamed Che, and injected an aura into his body.
The aura entered the body, and the injury of the Che surnamed Mafu was so good in a blink of an eye, and when he was surprised, he hugged his fists and thanked Lao Tan, "The little brother's strength is too powerful, and he can heal his injuries so easily." ”
Lao Tan said with a smile: "Brother Che's injury was caused by Xia, so naturally he will be treated from below, and Brother Che doesn't need to be polite." ”
Zhuang Huiniang saw that Che's face was better, of course she was also happy, she had already let down her guard against Lao Tan at this time, and took the child to Lao Tan and said, "Little brother, thank you for saving Brother Che." ”
"You're welcome." Being so close, Lao Tan could easily smell the body fragrance on the other party's body, and while he was intoxicated, he was quite uncomfortable.
Before the crossing, Lao Tan hadn't even held a girl's hand, a woman like Zhuang Huiniang with such an outstanding appearance and temperament, he had never seen it before, let alone talked to him so closely?
is different from Xiao Qingyan, who is as cold as ice, Zhuang Huiniang's voice is soft and gentle, and her temperament is approachable, which makes people have a contradictory impulse to involuntarily want to get close to her and be afraid of blaspheming her.
"By the way, little brother, just now you said that someone entrusted you to come to Concubine Zhuang Hui, who is that person?" Although he knew that Lao Tan would not hurt them, as the commander of the guards who protected Concubine Zhuang Hui, there was something that the horseman surnamed Che had to ask clearly.
Feeling that the other party's tone was quite vigilant, Lao Tan had no choice but to explain: "The client doesn't know, but the Danqing was distributed by the Yue Wolf Gang, and they let it go, whoever finds the woman in the Danqing can get a thousand taels of silver." ”
Hearing this, Che's surname Mafu became even more nervous, intentionally or unintentionally blocking between Lao Tan and Zhuang Huiniang, and asked in a low voice: "Then the little brother is also here to reward silver?" ”
Lao Tan didn't hide it, and nodded very simply, "That's right, not only that, but it's also the protector of the Yue Wolf Gang." ”
"You're the protector of the Yue Wolf Gang?" Zhuang Huiniang let out an exclamation in her mouth, and her apricot eyes widened slightly, as if she couldn't accept this fact.
The coachman surnamed Ma pulled Zhuang Huiniang and the child back a few steps, gritted his teeth and said to Lao Tan: "Little brother, if you want to arrest Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and go back to restore your life, please step over the corpse below." ”
"Brother Che, you misunderstood." Lao Tan smiled bitterly: "If I wanted to arrest you, I would have done it a long time ago, so why bother telling you this." ”
"Little brother is right, Brother Che, the concubine sees that the little brother is not a villain, you don't need to be nervous." Zhuang Huiniang nodded.
The stakes were so high that the horseman surnamed Che still didn't dare to let down his guard completely, and at this moment, a crisp voice sounded.
"Eniang, Fan'er is hungry." The child beside Zhuang Huiniang, that is, the prince, suddenly took her hand and shouted pitifully.
Zhuang Huiniang laughed out loud, and said to the Che surnamed Mafu and Lao Tan: "I'm sorry, Fan'er is hungry, Brother Che, let's go to eat first, the meal has already been prepared." ”
The original stalemate atmosphere was broken by the little prince's words, and Lao Tan said, "Okay, I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'm disturbed." ”
Walking into the thatched hut and sitting down, Zhuang Huiniang walked out with a meal.
I didn't expect the emperor's concubine to be able to cook, Lao Tan was also very curious, and casually took a piece of pork belly with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and it tasted pretty good.
"Brother Che, why don't you come in and eat together?" After Zhuang Huiniang set up all the dishes and chopsticks, she saw that the horseman surnamed Che was still standing outside the door, so she shouted.
"Niangniang is a golden body, and if she wants Niangniang to cook for her own time, it is really a killing of the villain, and the villain still has dry food outside, so it will not prevent Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from eating." The horseman said and turned around and left.
"He won't eat us, come on little ghost, eat some food, don't patronize and eat meat." Lao Tan sandwiched a green vegetable and put it in the bowl of the little prince sitting opposite.
The little prince looked at his mother with a reluctant look.
"Eat, this is what my brother gave you." Zhuang Huiniang said softly.
The little prince didn't dare to disobey his mother, and finally obediently ate the vegetables that Lao Tan gave him, but after eating, his eyes when he looked at Lao Tan became a little resentful.
Lao Tan didn't care about the emotions of a little child, and ate the rice and vegetables in the bowl in a big gulp, to be honest, I really didn't expect a concubine living in the palace to have this kind of cooking skills.
After putting the last piece of pork belly in his mouth and swallowing it, Lao Tan wiped his mouth, and then burped, half a sound, he changed his expression to a positive color and asked: "Dare to ask Madame, Madame is the concubine of Emperor Mingzu of Shaoyang Kingdom, why did you end up here, and others are still wanted?" ”
Zhuang Huiniang, who was still eating, heard this, grabbed the hand of the chopsticks and prepared to pick up the vegetables, and after a while, she put down the dishes and chopsticks and said quietly: "Do you really want to know?" ”
Old Tan nodded slightly.
Seeing that Lao Tan had made up her mind, Zhuang Huiniang no longer concealed it, she first called the Che surnamed Mafu back and asked him to take the little prince out, while she herself was left alone.
When Lao Tan was left in the hut, Zhuang Huiniang slowly told the whole story.
Lao Tan listened quietly, until Zhuang Huiniang finished speaking, although the expression on his face did not change at all, but his heart had actually turned a monstrous wave.
