Chapter 235: Saber rattling
Su Kun's fingers flicked the blade of the knife, the echo was crisp, and he couldn't help but say, "Good knife", and then turned his head to Ling Ran and said: "Manager Ling, as the head of Concubine Jing's palace, how could you not know the rules of carrying a knife into the palace without approval?" ”
Ling Ran had already inquired carefully about the things that Hua Mian had brought before leaving Yilan Tower, and he didn't think much about it when he learned that there was a kitchen knife, he thought that no one would dare to stop their team, but unexpectedly he bumped into Su Kun on duty.
"This is just a knife used by the chef to cook, why should Commander Su be so careful"
"A knife for cooking?" , Su Kun pulled out his sword and slashed at Hua Mian's kitchen knife, the blade made a buzzing sound of "Qiang ~" after being collided with the sword, the blade did not move, but the sword trembled a few times.
"And now you're saying it's just a cooking knife?" , Su Kun raised the sword in his hand that was knocked out of the mouth for Ling Ran to see, Ling Ran fixed his eyes, and sure enough, as the other party said, Su Kun was wearing a sword that was uniformly equipped for the Imperial Forest Army in the palace, although it was not a sword from a famous family, but it was definitely not a material that would collapse if he cut a kitchen knife.
Unless it's really like Su Kun said, the kitchen knife carried by Huamian is a famous weapon itself.
"The material of the blade has nothing to do with what it is used for, right?" , Ling Ran knew in his heart that when he encountered such a person as the other party, Hua Mian's knife was afraid that it would be difficult to enter the palace today, so he still tried his best to explain.
"Still insisting that this knife will be used for cooking?"
"What are you used to do if you don't cook? Could it be that Commander Su has other high opinions? Miss Huamian is the cook invited by Concubine Jing, so it's best to think clearly before speaking."
The atmosphere that had just eased up a little bit immediately became tense again, and now Hua Mian didn't know what else to do, so he stopped them personally! Hua Mian's inner cry was almost spoken.
"What are you guys doing here?"
A voice that sounded a little old sounded, and Hua Mian seemed to have finally found a savior, but after seeing the person clearly, the hope that had just sprung up immediately fell silent.
Just hearing the voice, I thought that the other party was an elderly official, and it was true that he was old, but this appearance looked incompatible with the palace.
This is an old man who is definitely old enough to retire, with gray hair tied back and pinned with a branch, dressed in a white-washed coarse cloth shirt, carrying a bamboo basket behind him, and carrying fish and other ingredients in his hands.
The appearance is also ordinary, and it is not kind, but the old man has a pair of eyes that are attentive, and these eyes remind Hua Mian of the gaze that eagles only show when they see their prey in the animal world.
It was such an ordinary old man, but Su Kun and Ling Ran invariably stopped their movements and saluted the old man, and the soldiers on both sides also withdrew their weapons one after another.
"I've seen Jia Lao"
"How did Master Jia leave the palace in person today, if you need any orders, we are ready to send them to you"
"Master Jia"
Listening to these greetings, this old man is still a person of considerable status?
The old man known as Jia Lao saw the kitchen knife in Su Kun's hand at a glance, and for a moment his eyes seemed to flash with a flash of inspiration, and he stepped forward and snatched the knife down, holding it in his hand and tasting it carefully.
"Good knives, it's rare to see such a good kitchen knife these days"
Hearing that Jia Lao said it was a kitchen knife, Ling Ran squeezed his eyes at Su Kun and said, "Look, they all said that it is the kind of kitchen knife used for cooking."
