Ye Xintian found someone to inquire, the best bamboo in Quanchen Country is produced in the suburbs of the city, a whole green bamboo forest on the outskirts of the city, and there is no end in sight.

She was going to open a milk tea shop in ancient times, and the milk had already been arranged, and the tea had not yet arrived, because there was no variety that she was satisfied with. Today, when she goes out of the house, in addition to the shop under the plate, she also has to consider the materials for milk tea to be taken out, which is not as developed as modern in ancient times, and there are plastic bottles.

She also considered this, what she eats in the store can be packed in ceramic bottles, after all, it can be recycled, washed and reused, but the materials for take-out are not easy to find, and the cost of take-out ceramic bottles is too high, so last night she thought of using bamboo tubes, and there is a problem with disposable bamboo straws.

"Wow, what a big bamboo forest!" As soon as he got closer, Chunke couldn't help but admire.

Ye Xintian was introduced by someone and made an appointment with the boss of Zhulin today, but it seems that the person has not yet arrived. She shuttled through the bamboo forest, reaching out and stroking each bamboo, her thumb and forefinger spread, measuring the length and size of the bamboo joints. In ancient times, there was no such thing as milliliters, and it all relied on her memory to recall the size of the cup she held when drinking milk tea in modern times.

In modern times, when the weather is hot, the beauties on the streets and alleys will hold a cup of milk tea in their hands, so she thought of opening a milk tea shop in ancient times. Since it is so popular in modern times, it must have been able to break out of the world in ancient times.

In ancient times, there were shops selling porridge, flour, noodles and rice, but none of them sold drinks, and herbal tea was picked up by people to sell on the street, and if you wanted to drink, you had to take a bowl from home to fill it, so it was very inconvenient for people who were far away.

But now the only problem is ice, there was no ice in ancient times, but the mountain spring water is very cold, she has to find a way to introduce the nearest mountain spring mouth into the shop, to ensure that the summer milk tea to the guests, is cold, not only to relieve the heat but also to enjoy that cool in the summer.

Chunke looked at his master, knocked on this bamboo for a while, knocked on another for a while, and leaned his ears in to listen to the sound.

"It's you." Ye Xintian stroked a bamboo beside him and said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, Ye Xintian's eyebrows were twisted, and he looked around vigilantly. Before they knew it, they had strayed into the depths of the bamboo forest, and there were different bird calls around them, but it was so quiet that the birds stopped singing and hid in the bamboo forest.

"Princess, what's wrong?" Chunke saw that Ye Xintian's face suddenly became heavy and asked.

"Shh Ye Xintian motioned to Chun Ke not to speak, and a pair of eyes turned up and down, left and right, taking everything around into his eyes, and at the same time, thinking about the possible danger in his heart.

The wind blew across the earth, blowing the bamboo bent over, and the bamboo body made a babbling sound, and there was no other sound in the ears except the sound of the wind, but the more this happened, the more terrible it became.

This kind of tranquility should not appear in the bamboo forest, but like the tranquility before danger approaches.

Suddenly, there was a sound of clothes stirring above his head, and Ye Xintian, who was at the tip of his ear, reacted immediately, grabbed Chunke's hand, pulled it hard, and left the position where they were standing.

Immediately after, with a 'boom', a black figure descended from the sky, the unsheathed sword plunged into the dirt, and an invisible air emanated from the body around the body with its head lowered, preventing anyone from approaching.

Chunke didn't react to what was happening in front of him, his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground.

Ye Xintian frowned, stared at the people on the ground and asked, "Xiang Ze?" ”

Xiang Ze raised his head, looked at her with something unknown in his eyes, hooked his lips and smiled, "Miss Ye's reaction is good." ”

"Why are you here?" Ye Xintian asked with squinted eyes.

Xiang Ze got up, pulled the sword out of the dirt, then walked into her, and said, "Seeing you go out of the city gate, I found that someone had been following you, so I came over to help you deal with it." ”

"So, what about people?"

"I accidentally ran away from him."

"Oh, thank you." Ye Xintian responded lightly, and then whispered in Chunke's ear: "The master of the bamboo forest has arrived, you go and help me talk." ”

"Me?" Chunke's eyes widened, pointed to his face, and said in disbelief, "No." ”

"I'll teach you what to say." Ye Xintian leaned close to Chunke's ear and explained in a low voice.

I saw that Chunke was surprised at first, then nodded, then patted his chest and left confidently.

Ye Xintian patted the dirty things on his hands and said, "I'm afraid it's not so simple for you to come to me, right?" ”

She and Xiang Ze have only met a few times, and he has no reason to help her so much. It's not that she spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but she believes that everything has a cause and effect.

"I heard that you are going to participate in the assessment of the mistress of the palace?" Xiang Ze didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Ye Xintian chuckled and said, "I can't hide this from you, let's say, do you also have an inside line in the palace?" ”

"There's nothing in this world that silver can't do."

"Indeed." Ye Xintian agreed.

She walked to the side of the selected bamboo, reached out and knocked on the sound of the bamboo, and was satisfied, and then said to Xiang Ze behind her: "I don't want to meddle in these things. ”

"There are some things that you don't want to do, and others won't do it to you." Xiang Ze reminded.

Originally, as the princess of the Jin Palace, she should be in charge of the affairs of the palace, but she is not the only princess in the palace, and if she wants to succeed in the throne, she must convince everyone.

"I know."

"If you can't really become the mistress of the palace, it will be difficult to continue to survive in the palace in the future, you have no power and power, and others may do something to you at any time."

Of course Ye Xintian understands, but she really doesn't want to be bound by these things, is it not good to be free, do a little business, and make a little money? You have to jump into the fire pit.

"Are you concerned about me?" Ye Xintian suddenly felt that the meaning of concern in Xiang Ze's words was obvious.

Jiang Ze turned his head in embarrassment, put his hand to his lips, and coughed pretendedly, but did not answer her words.

Ye Xintian is a smart person, since he avoids the topic, she will not be stupid enough to ask to the end, which is good for each other.

"By the way, let me ask you something, where is the best tea mountain in Chenguo?" Silent on each other, she immediately moved on to another topic.

Xiang Ze paused, seemed to be thinking, and then said, "The best tea is in the hands of King Jin." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Today, the Holy Lord once rewarded King Jin with two tea mountains, one full of precious tribute tea, and the other was ordinary tea. King Jin once said that all the houses, land, and businesses under his name would be handed over to the mistress of the palace, so everyone attaches great importance to this assessment, so they will decide their own fate. ”

Ye Xintian listened to the frowning, supporting his chin with one hand, thinking about things.

She has tasted all the teas on the market in Chenguo, and they are not the best choice for making milk tea. Does she have to pass the assessment before she can go and see if the tea is suitable?

"The tea garden is guarded?" Ye Xintian asked after guessing.

Xiang Ze nodded and said, "That's right, I hired someone to guard it." But if you become a hostess, it will be different, in the future you can go in and out of there at will, not to mention the tea, even the soil you can take with you. ”

"Can you steal some out for me to taste?" Ye Xintian doesn't want much, as long as a cup of tea leaves, no one knows if he takes it, right?

Xiang Ze shook his head, stretched out his hand and slapped her on the head, and said, "I said Princess Jin, that's a tribute tea, and if you don't have it, you will be punished, so the basic guards are very responsible." ”

"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to think of something else." Ye Xintian thought about it very seriously, but because there was someone in front of her who wanted to find out, she had to pat him on the shoulder and say, "Thank you." ”

"Hey, you're not going to think about stealing tribute tea, are you? I just wanted to ask, what do you want to do when you set up a shop and come to the bamboo forest to see the bamboo? Xiang Ze turned around and looked at her back and asked.

Ye Xintian turned sideways, put his finger to his lips, and said, "Secret." ”

Xiang Ze looked at her distant back, and suddenly remembered that he had another thing here, so he shouted, "Do you want to know what Xiao Xie said before he died?" ”

Hearing Xiao Xie's words, Ye Xintian suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at him in disbelief, but his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move in place.

"Have you seen him?" Ye Xintian asked in a trembling voice, because she asked the jailers, they said that no one had ever entered, how did Xiang Ze get in?

"I used a little bit of trickery." Xiang Ze has friends all over the world, and it is too simple for him to hide this matter.

"What did he say?" She didn't care what he used, she only cared about what he said.

Ye Xintian has dreamed of Xiao Xie from time to time these days, Xiao Xie in the dream kept a certain distance from her, and said this in her mouth, but she didn't hear a word clearly, she wanted to run over and ask, but suddenly there was a thick fog around, and Xiao Xie's figure disappeared into the fog.

If Xiao Xie was scolding her, she could accept it, but Xiao Xie in the dream had a calm face, so she felt even more guilty.

"You really want to hear it?" Xiang Ze asked again uncertainly.

Ye Xintian glared at him and said, "What nonsense, hurry up." ”

Xiang Ze took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and the scene of him talking to Xiao Xie appeared in his brain, "He said thank you." ”

"Thank me?" Shouldn't Xiao Xie hate her? How could you thank her?

"Thank you for telling the truth, thank you for giving him a chance to mend his ways, thank you for making him accountable. He knew that it was wrong to kill someone, and he regretted it afterwards, but at that time, he didn't know what he was doing, until his hands were stained with warm blood, and he regretted it too much. He didn't dare to tell his parents, and he didn't dare to tell anyone. Xiang Ze said while paying attention to Ye Xintian's reaction, and seeing her calm face, he continued.

He said that once he was treated unfairly, he became a different person, just like a person with two different personalities in his body. He didn't know why there was a small friction, just explain it clearly, but he made a move on the Su family, and did a lot of wrong things afterwards in order not to let people find out. He wants to say to you, I'm sorry. Xiang Ze finished speaking, and did not speak again.

Ye Xintian raised his hands, his palms covering his entire face, his shoulders trembled, and hot liquid seeped out from his fingers.
