This back and forth, the sky darkened, the street vendors lit lanterns one after another, dragon and lion dances, firecrackers roared in unison, illuminating the streets of Qizhou City as bright as day.

In the courtyard, several people could still faintly hear the commotion.

The table was already full of delicacies, but the guests were late.

Shui Banxia stared at the table full of dishes on the table, and his mouth watered, "Shall we eat first?" ”

Wen Ying smiled: "You eat first, I'll wait." ”

Shui Banxia shook her head helplessly, she picked up the bowl and scooped a bowl of fish soup for herself.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, Cang Xuelan was late, he smelled the fragrance from afar, sat at the table, and picked up the chopsticks first.

"Why are you going, so late?"

"Don't mention these things," Cang Xuelan sighed, "I can't stay long, and there is a master, who is lying in the tavern opposite, waiting for me to protect it." Tonight, I will strengthen the defense of your small courtyard, and there may be people standing in the courtyard at that time, you two have no major incidents, try not to come out. ”

"What's wrong? So nervous. ”

"According to my eyeliner distributed in Xuzhou City, Lu Boyan has left Xuzhou, calculate the time, I'm afraid he will be able to go to Qizhou in two days, and now it's just in time for the New Year, and the officials and officials have also gone home, the official mansion, the other courtyards and the Nine Emperor Princes, the guards have been lax a lot, although I didn't expect that group of people, but there are a few eyes and ears, and they are still weaker after all."

"Do you think they're going to do it today?"

"I can't say." Cang Xuelan frowned and said: "There are many people on the street now, Lu Boyan and his group of accomplices may be distributed inside, let's be cautious." ”

The appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes was an accident, but in other words, he was safer under Cang Xuelan's nose than in his own big courtyard, so Cang Xuelan temporarily detained him in his room first, and had to go back to bring him food for a while.

After he took two more bites of food, he put the bowl down and said to Wen Ying, "Can you let me bring some food?" There is a crying uncle waiting for me in my room. ”

Wen Ying nodded, "Okay, you wait, I'll go get you a basket." ”

Taking advantage of Wen Ying's absence, Shui Banxia's brain collapsed and collapsed on Cang Xuelan's head, "You stupid!" ”

"What's wrong with me?" Cang Xuelan asked, covering her forehead.

"Think back to your performance last night, and take the girl to the roof to see the scenery, why don't you just get a wedding sticker and marry her into the house?"

Cang Xuelan scratched her hair and said, "I see that she is in a bad mood, so I want to make her happy." ”

Shui Banxia approached and said in a low voice: "Xue Yao, if you want to cut off the love thread, you can't drag it out like this, it's the right thing to cut the mess with a quick knife." ”

At this time, Wen Ying came back, she picked up some dishes, put them in a bowl, and made rice and fish soup for another night, and put these meals into the basket, wrapped in cotton cloth on the outside of the basket, so that the temperature of the food in the basket could be maintained for a while.

She handed the basket to Cang Xuelan and said, "I'll send you out." ”

Cang Xuelan nodded, "Okay." ”

He took the basket and walked out of the room with Wen Ying.

Shui Banxia sighed and put down his chopsticks. Thinking that if the real Cang Xuelan is still in the world, she and this Wen Ying girl will definitely be a fairy couple.

Cang Xuelan walked to the courtyard and said, "It's windy outside, you can go back quickly." ”

Wen Ying stopped him, "I know you're busy today, but you said okay, on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you will take me to see the street scene of Qizhou." ”

Cang Xuelan sighed behind Wen Ying's back, turned around and smiled: "What's so difficult about this?" He put his arm around Wen Ying's waist and landed on the roof of the restaurant, then put the basket aside, and sat down with her, and in the distance, the street was brightly lit.

The two sat side by side, relatively silent.

Wen Ying smiled: "I originally wanted to wait for you to speak first, but after thinking about it, the matter has come to this point, and I am actually waiting for an answer." Brother Xuelan, do you still have me in your heart? ”

Cang Xuelan racked her brains, trying to find a gentle, less hurtful statement, but in the end she could only spit out two words, "No." ”

Wen Yingdi's smile gradually couldn't be maintained, she wiped the tears on her face in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "It's me who is rude." ”

Cang Xuelan wanted to comfort her, but she still didn't know what to say, and for the first time, he found out that he was so clumsy.

"I have one last question," Wen Ying covered her mouth and cried, "Is it just my wishful thinking that I have done before?" ”

Cang Xuelan let out a long sigh, "No. But Ying'er, the world is like this, and the two of us can only do this. ”

Your real Brother Xue Lan has been lying in the cold land for many years. If you are lonely all your life, under the nine springs, he will be broken, so forget him.

Cang Xuelan took Wen Ying and landed in the courtyard, "Take care of yourself, I won't let you be wronged." ”

Wen Ying broke away from his hand, turned her back to him, and forcibly suppressed her own sobs, "General Xie Cang." ”

Shui Banxia heard the movement and stood by the door, he glanced at Cang Xuelan, his eyes were full of helplessness. Cang Xuelan nodded at him, turned around and left the courtyard.

In the bedroom, the Nine Emperor Princes were still trapped on the bed by the five flowers, and a rag stuffed his mouth to the brim, but even so, Cang Xuelan stood outside the door, and he could still hear his whimpering cry.

Cang Xuelan sighed again, he pushed open the door and took out the rags that blocked the mouth of the Nine Emperor Princes, "Your Highness, don't cry, isn't the minister back?" ”

“…… Hungry ......"

"Eh!" Cang Xuelan patted her head, "I forgot the food on the roof, you wait, I'll go back." ”

After saying that, he stuffed the cloth full of saliva back into the mouth of the Nine Emperor Princes. The Nine Emperor Princes were stunned for a moment, and the tears that had just stopped flowed down again: This bastard, can't he change a cloth stopper?

After another toss, Cang Xuelan took the frozen slag dinner back to the room, he loosened the tie for the Nine Emperor Princes, pulled him to sit at the table, and threw a large piece of pillow that had been wet with saliva in the corner by the way.

"How do you eat this?" The Nine Emperor Princes were extremely disgusted, and his voice still had the hoarseness of just crying, sounding like a child who had not eaten sugar.

Cang Xuelan resigned herself to open the window, lit the stove, brought a large casserole from the kitchen, and a small pot of oil, first spread the oil evenly on the bottom of the four walls of the casserole, then add rice and vegetables in turn, and finally put the casserole on the stove, and the fish soup was put aside, "It's okay for a while, Your Highness will be patient and wait, let's just make a living tonight." ”

"Can't you just do it again?"

"It's not going to work today, Your Highness will take care of it."

The Nine Emperors muttered, "I dare not take it." ”

"Your Highness is strong in martial arts, why didn't you loosen your ties just now?"

"What martial arts are strong?"

Cang Xuelan smiled, "Your Highness's vigilance is quite heavy. ”

He sat at the table and looked at His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, his face was thin and tender, white and red, his fingers were as tender as a shallot, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he looked like a big girl than him.

People who practice martial arts, how can they leave some traces on their bodies, not to mention anything else, with weapons, they always have to grind out a few calluses on their hands, but he has only tied up the Nine Emperor Princes for half a day, and this uncle's wrists have already been bruised.

If you can even pretend to be this, then this Nine Emperor Princes is really a powerful person.

Thinking of this, Cang Xuelan's eyes brought some scrutiny.

The Nine Emperors didn't notice it, he was lying on the table like mud, his stomach growling.

After a while, Cang Xuelan took off the casserole, brought it to the table, and after removing the lid, the fragrance accompanied by the steaming heat was scattered all over the room.

The Nine Emperors swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly picked up the dishes and chopsticks to scoop a spoonful of food for himself, but found that the layer of rice attached to the wall of the casserole pot was slightly yellowed, and it was very crisp in his mouth, "What is this?" ”

"Pot rice, Your Highness is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas in the palace, this thing, you may not have seen it," Cang Xuelan added a few more pieces of coal to the stove, "The place in Fenzhou is cold and snowy all year round, and in winter, there are countless people who die of cold, and if you don't pay attention to it there, the freshly cooked meals will become ice slag, so the people over there have invented such a way to deal with leftovers." When I first joined the army, I wasn't used to it, but because of the name of this general's son, I had to fight for the first place in everything, and I didn't want to be tongue-in. My father saw that I was suffering, although he didn't say anything, but he felt distressed, and one night, he secretly pulled me out and made me such a pot of rice, and the two of us were almost discovered by the soldiers who were keeping vigil. ”

The Nine Emperor Princes chewed the rice in his mouth and said vaguely: "I'm sorry, it's me who doesn't choose what to say." ”

Cang Xuelan raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, this highness even knows how to apologize? "Today's incident is also wrong with Wang Han and Wei Rong, I apologize here for the two of them, I hope Your Highness will not take it to heart."

"Are you afraid that I will really sue my father?" The Nine Emperors smiled slyly: "Don't worry, I'm just saying, if my father knows that I said that the old general is ...... He probably whipped me to death with a whip himself. ”

"Your Highness's martial arts are so high, if you don't want to be whipped, you can run."

The Nine Emperor Princes didn't even raise their heads, he concentrated on picking up the rice in the bowl, and said casually: "If my martial arts are considered high, then those who practice martial arts all day will be angry." ”

This was said quite sincerely, so much so that Cang Xuelan was a little surprised.

The noise on the street gradually subsided, and Cang Xuelan guessed that the evening market was probably over.

"Your Highness, sleep here tonight, and I'll send you back early tomorrow morning."

The Nine Emperor Princes wiped the oil on their mouths and said, "Your bed is too bad, make some more mattresses." ”

Cang Xuelan sighed, resignedly took out a mattress from the closet, spread it on the bed board, and took a new pillow.

"Every night before I go to bed, I have to bathe ......," the Nine Emperor Prince said with a pout.

Cang Xuelan took a deep breath, "Your Highness, do you want me to tie you back again?" ”

The Nine Emperors snorted coldly, but he didn't do much more, he took off his coat and got into the bed, "General Cang doesn't sleep?" ”

Cang Xuelan shook her head.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
