Chapter 15 Dagger
I lowered my eyes and thought, go to the market?
Seems to be good, I'm going to buy a dagger for self-defense.
However, buying a dagger naturally wouldn't say it directly to Bai Qing, so he nodded and said that he wanted to go to the market.
"The girl changes her clothes, and the servant will accompany you in a moment." Bai Qing saw that I wanted to go out for a walk, so she nodded hurriedly.
When I heard what he said, I tentatively asked, "How about I go out alone and go back when I go?" ”
"This?" Bai Qing immediately looked embarrassed.
"That's it, just follow it." With that, I closed the door, changed into plain clothes, and came out of the room.
Bai Qing and the four official envoys were already waiting outside the door.
Bai Qing looked me up and down, and then immediately entered the house and took the cloak for me.
"Girl, it's windy and still a little cold this night, so you put on this." After Bai Qing finished speaking, he put on the cloak for me.
Then he led me downstairs to the inn.
This inn is a little "deserted", most of the tables downstairs are empty, and there are one or two tables of guests, who are just drinking tea.
"Girl, there is a candy seller on the street in front of you, you like sweetness, why don't we go there and have a look." After Bai Qing finished speaking, he led me out of the inn.
This night market in Shengjing can be described as lively and noisy, and when you enter the main street, it is full of traffic.
Rows of lanterns were hung high, and Bai Qing followed closely by my side, worried that I would get lost.
"Girl, do you like this?" Bai Qing pointed to the mochi stall not far away: "The slave bought some for you?" ”
"Good!" I immediately responded, for I had already found an armory shop in my sights.
It's just that Bai Qing went to buy the mochi, but there were still four official envoys behind me.
These officials protected me, standing left and right, one in front and one behind, so that I had nowhere to "escape".
"Girl, come, this mochi, it's better to eat it while it's hot." Bai Qing said, already handing me a bunch of mochi.
I could only take it, but after tasting it, the taste was really soft and sweet.
"Girl, our lotus leaf chicken in Shengjing is also delicious, with lotus leaf fragrance, His Royal Highness took me to eat it once before." Bai Qing said, the corners of his eyes raised slightly, and he seemed to be very happy.
"Really? Then let's go eat lotus leaf chicken. With that, I glanced back at the armory.
Bai Qing didn't notice my abnormality, and happily took me to find the lotus leaf chicken.
I followed him, but the farther I went, the more this man became.
The envoys, almost sideways, walked beside me.
And Bai Qing turned around from time to time, glanced at me, and made sure that I was okay, and then continued to walk forward.
I followed Bai Qing to a shop selling lotus leaf chicken, which was overcrowded.
There are a lot of diners, and the proprietress finally found a corner spot for us, and then went to get us lotus leaf chicken.
I looked at the tray of the lotus leaf chicken, there was a palm-long dagger, the proprietress pulled out the dagger, I saw that the dagger, extremely sharp, is used to cut the lotus leaf, cut the chicken.
"Boss, we'll do it ourselves, you can get busy." I set my eyes on the dagger and immediately kept the proprietress busy.
The proprietress thanked her repeatedly, and Bai Qing used the dagger to cut open the lotus leaf very quickly, and the fragrance of glutinous rice mixed with lotus leaves overflowed instantly.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Qing served me glutinous rice first, and then used a dagger to disassemble the chicken and bones.
I stared at the dagger, and motioned for Bai Qing and the officials to sit down and eat together.
They shouldn't have been, but the business was so good that there was no place for the five of them to stand, so they had no choice but to sit down around the small square table.
"Come on, taste them all!" I pushed the chicken in front of them, and asked Bai Qing to ask for two.
Bai Qing was happy to see me, and did as I said, the three chickens were extremely fat, and with this glutinous rice, I really couldn't eat enough.
It was as if something was moving in my stomach.
"Girl, there is another one on this street, a glutinous pastry shop, let's go again tomorrow." Bai Qing paid the silver taels and said to me.
And I had hidden the dagger in my sleeve the moment they stood up.
"Don't go tomorrow, go today." I saw that Bai Qing's eyes were about to fall, and hurriedly said.
Several of them looked at me in amazement.
"Miss Xiyan, you, you, can you still eat? Don't eat bad stomach, this glutinous rice is swollen. Bai Qing looked at me nervously.
"Oh, is it? That's it. Seeing that their attention was drawn to me, I immediately put away the dagger and walked briskly out of the shop.
Bai Qing and the others hurriedly caught up with me, and the group planned to go back here.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! ”
At this time, in the night sky, fireworks bloom, extremely gorgeous.
Everyone looked up and looked into the night sky.
I was the same, but I didn't know who pulled my wrist, and then I was dragged into the crowd.
"Kashiwa?" I came back to my senses and was about to call Bai Qing, but one hand covered my mouth.
"Xiyan, don't scream!" The other party lowered his voice and said.
As soon as I heard the tone of the voice, I immediately turned my head and looked at the person, and found that it was actually Sister Yulan?
She dragged me to the entrance of the alley on the side of the street, where Elder Gao was also waiting.
"Xiyan, have you really returned to Shengjing? If it weren't for Geyun saying that I saw you, I wouldn't believe it? Sister Yulan looked at me with surprise on her face.
"Sister Yulan, you guys go quickly, don't get involved with me." I looked around in a panic, for fear of being seen, we were together.
"Xiyan, why did you come back? What about the Divine Monarch? You? "She, like Ge Yun, has a lot of questions.
"Sister Yulan, Elder Gao, I went back to Beijing this time to enter the palace to save people, in short, this matter is not clear in a few words, you go quickly, don't be seen." I said, pushing Sister Yulan's hand away.
Sister Yulan grabbed my wrist with her backhand: "Xiyan, no matter what you plan to do, don't be impulsive, if there is anything, come to me." ”
"Good!" I nodded hurriedly, and then quickly walked out of this alley and walked in the direction of Bai Qing and them.
"Miss Sunset! Sunset girl! Bai Qing and the others "lost" me, panicked, and kept shouting, but there were too many people, and the sound of fireworks covered up most of their shouts.
"Bai Qing, I'm here!" I hurriedly approached and patted Bai Qing on the shoulder.
Bai Qing turned around, saw me, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, stopped watching the fireworks, and immediately escorted me back to the inn with the four official envoys.
In the inn, it was very quiet, and after coming back, Bai Qing asked for refreshments with the shopkeeper, and sent me upstairs to rest.
