Chapter 98: What a skillful hand
"Aning, Aning, it's time to get up." When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the house, Yan Nanxiao began to nudge He Shuning, who was still asleep.
He Shuning yawned and opened his sleepy eyes, "It's already time?" ”
Yan Nanxiao bowed slightly, "You get up first, wash up and eat something, and in another two quarters of an hour, we will go to Dongcheng and Nancheng to set fires." ”
Serious matter, He Shuning heard Yan Nanxiao say this, and immediately squinted his eyes and got up from the kang.
Yan Nanxiao brought her well water, and the little girl rinsed her mouth and washed her face, and then scratched her hair twice very casually.
"A-Ning, come and sit here, I'll re-tie your hair." Yan Nanxiao really couldn't bear to look directly at He Shuning's chicken nest head shape, he couldn't help but pull He Shuning to the stone bench beside him and sit down, and then began to carefully and gently help He Shuning straighten his hair.
He Shuning's hair was very good, and Yan Nanxiao didn't have much effort to help her tie her hair back into the simple men's hairstyle she had before she went to sleep.
"Ah Xiao, you are so skillful." Touching the three thousand strands of hair that he had re-fitted, He Shuning praised Yan Nanxiao who combed her hair.
Yan Nanxiao clenched his hands, and there seemed to be the silky touch left over from He Shuning's jet-black and silky hair in his palms.
He struggled to get his heartbeat back to a normal rate, "It's clear that you're too unruly and don't take your hair seriously." ”
He Shuning gave him a sweet smile back, "Ah Xiao, have you had breakfast?" ”
Yan Nanxiao cooperated with her to change the topic, "Not yet." ”
"Then let's eat together." He Shuning handed an oiled paper bag in his hand to Yan Nanxiao, "This is a hanging oven baked cake with pork belly, it is fragrant, you can taste it." ”
Yan Nanxiao took the baked cake and took a bite, "It's really fragrant." ”
He Shuning's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he also took one and began to bite, "When we take Guyuan City, can I ask General Qin to give us the prefect's cook?" ”
Yan Nanxiao: ......
After being silent for a while, he adjusted his mood, and found that He Shuning was looking at him with blank eyes, so he had to shake his head slightly at this girl, "It's better not to, the cook in this Guyuan prefect's house must be the absolute henchman of the prefect's family, and this kind of person can't be brought into the military camp." ”
He Shuning said that this is really a particularly regrettable thing, silently ate a hanging oven baked cake, this girl finally decided to give up the prefect's chef as her own, she took out a red bean roll, and said to Yan Nanxiao while eating: "Then after we open the city gate, can I go to the prefect's house to get some food and save it?" ”
Yan Nanxiao hesitated slightly, "Then let's stop by when we set the fire, otherwise we are afraid that we will not be able to grab the first credit." ”
First merit = promotion and wealth = special treatment = opening a small stove = countless delicious food.
He Shuning quickly converted it in her heart, and then she immediately accepted Yan Nanxiao's proposal, "It's all up to you." ”
Yan Nanxiao smiled slightly, "Then it's decided, I'll accompany you to find something delicious when the time comes." As far as I know, the area in the east of Guyuan City is inhabited by either high-ranking officials or prominent families, and the level of cooks in this kind of family must be very good. ”
He Shuning's eyes lit up, "Then do we need to prepare a few more piles of oiled paper?" ”
Yan Nanxiao patted his big backpack, "Don't worry, the oil paper I took is definitely enough." And I also brought a few food boxes, if it is inconvenient to wrap them in oiled paper, we can also directly put the food into the food box with the tableware. ”
Little Miss He felt that Yan Nanxiao couldn't be more intimate, she touched Yan Nanxiao's large backpack, "Then let's eat quickly, and immediately go to those big families in the east of the city after eating, otherwise I'm afraid they will eat all the delicious things later." ”
Yan Nan couldn't help laughing.
Sure enough, food is always the most attractive thing for this girl.
The two had a full breakfast, and then Yan Nanxiao guided He Shuning to the east and south of the city.
At this time, in the mansions of those high-ranking officials in the east of the city, the subordinates were putting all kinds of carefully prepared breakfasts into the food boxes.
After He Shuning and the others started to set fires, these subordinates who were only good at intrigue suddenly panicked.
Of course, there are also people with flexible eyebrows and eyes, who ran to protect their masters as soon as possible, and in places like the kitchen, which are not important, the cooks and maids have taken basins and buckets to go out to fetch water.
Whether it's helping to put out the fire, or taking this opportunity to find out the news, these people basically took advantage of the chaos to run out.
The few maids who were left in the kitchen by the housekeeper's mother to take care of them were also uneasy, and they all crowded at the gate of the courtyard to poke their brains into the center of the riot.
This provided great convenience for He Shuning and Yan Nan to walk the various delicacies in the kitchen.
The two took advantage of the escape to take the sheep by hand, and soon searched all the large kitchens of several mansions next to each other.
"It's almost time, we should go to the south of the city, and we will have to open the city gate at the scheduled time later." When the big kitchen of the Guyuan prefect's house was also "looted", Yan Nanxiao dragged He Shuning straight to the south of the city.
After the two of them also set two fires in the south of the city, Yan Nanxiao led He Shuning to the vicinity of the west gate of Guyuan City.
He Shuning will work very hard when she is full, and she takes Yan Nanxiao, who is far less fast than her, and rushes from the rich area in the east of the city to the civilian area in the west of the city with a smoke.
When the two rushed over, the riots in the east and south of the city had not yet been reported, and the defenders in the west of the city only knew that something had happened in the east and south of the city, and as for what was going on, the people who went to inquire about the news had not yet sent the message back.
What made them most uneasy was that in the process of waiting for the news, they actually had stomach troubles one after another.
Because there were so many people who wanted to go to the toilet, the generals who defended the city had no choice but to temporarily requisition the latrines of some nearby people's homes.
But even so, his generals still had to line up to go to the toilet.
"Go get me some doctors." The commander of the city soon realized that something was wrong, and he pulled one of his own guards and gave a loud command.
When his guards left with a solemn face, the general guarding the city asked him to report to the general and the prefect.
It's just that before he sent the guards in charge of delivering the letter to the east of the city, He Shuning and Yan Nanxiao had already slaughtered under the city wall.
He Shuning was extremely fast, she took Yan Nanxiao with her, and Yan Nanxiao was desperately sprinkling the medicine powder like a trick.
The porcelain bottles used to hold the medicinal powder were uncorked by him in the direction of the wind, and then the medicinal powder that he shook out fluttered and escaped under the noses of the soldiers who were in a trance.
Because of diarrhea, their bodies and spirits have entered a period of weakness, and they were already struggling to hold on to defending the city, but now it is naturally impossible to react quickly and hold their breath.
And Yan Nanxiao specially made this kind of fan. Medicine, that can make people sleep for at least two hours if they inhale a little, so these soldiers who defended the city were quickly stunned by Yan Nanxiao's special medicine powder.
