It was night, and the woods were squirming.

A man in black looked left and right to make sure that no one was following him, and then blew a whistle.

Wind, slight movement.

"The lord of the capital told you to hurry up, time is running out."

"Hurry up, Ji Yuan's people are staring so closely, how can I hold on?"

"The lord said, since the county lord is here, don't let her come in vain."

The man paused, "Got it." ”

"Why did Ji Yuan suddenly start investigating Chen Laosan and their affairs?"

"Now you have to ask Chen Laosan, if you can't do things cleanly, you have been caught by others, who do you complain about?"

"Alright, you just have to do your thing. Don't point fingers. ”

Wang Yuanli felt a gust of wind pass by his ears, and the man must have left again.

He stayed alone for a while and walked towards the inn, but saw Jiang Yu waiting for him at the door from a distance.

Wang Yuanli was a little weak-hearted, but still pretended to be calm, "It's cold at night, what are you doing standing here?" ”

"You're out?" Jiang Yu's eyes stared straight at him, as if he had seen through everything.

"That's right." Wang Yuanli's hand was behind his back, and he smiled and admitted it calmly.

Jiang Yu still didn't give up, "What are you doing out so late?" ”

A pack of lotus chicken appeared in front of Jiang Yu, and the woman was stunned.

Wang Yuanli smiled warmly, "Don't you want to eat lotus chicken during the day?" ”

"Didn't you open the door?"

"I went to the store, it was just baked, and it was still hot."

Wang Yuanli said as he opened the lotus chicken, still steaming.

Jiang Yu sat at the table with a confused face, "You went out in the middle of the night just to buy me lotus chicken?" ”

"Or else?" Wang Yuanli looked dazed, "Where do you think I went?" ”

"Oh, nothing." Jiang Yu touched his neck and stared at the lotus chicken in front of him in a daze.

It is said that it is lotus chicken, but in fact it has nothing to do with lotus flowers, it is wrapped in fresh chicken with three or four layers of lotus leaves, covered with clay, roasted until the outside is crispy and tender inside, and the fragrance of the leaves slowly neutralizes the greasy meat.

In order to look good when baking, peel off the outer layer, wrap it in fresh lotus leaves, and then add a few packs of soul dipping sauce.

The lotus leaf makes the chicken less greasy and not noisy, hence the name.

Wang Yuanli asked the store for a pot of warm rice wine and a pot of sour plum soup.

Jiang Yu went to pour rice wine, but Wang Yuanli stopped her, "No, you should drink sour plum soup." ”

"You're making a fuss, rice wine is just drinking and playing in our Shudi, what is wine?" Jiang Yu refused, and poured a bowl in a daze.

Wang Yuanli smiled and took out a delicate knife to slice chicken.

Jiang Yu stared at him with a piece of chicken, and said coldly, "I didn't expect you to hold the pen with your hand, and the knife work is so good?" So skillful. ”

Jiang Yu's voice was faint, and he couldn't tell what kind of tone this was, Wang Yuanli just felt terrible.

"Oh, when we used to study, we used to go to eat, and we would see too much."

"Really?" Jiang Yu smiled as if he was fine, "If you have a chance in the future, you can also take me to taste the lotus chicken next to your academy." ”

Wang Yuanli smiled warmly, "There is no next to the academy, there is an Uncle Liu who has been making lotus chickens for more than ten years a few streets, and his classmates used to take care of his business in groups of three or two, and he has a little grandson, we often teach him to read." ”

Wang Yuanli spoke in detail, and even told a few interesting stories about the child.

Jiang Yu drank a few sips of rice wine, "Although you ate Uncle Liu's lotus chicken and stole the teacher, it is also a good thing to teach his grandson to read." ”

"Where do I have his ability to master the heat?" Wang Yuanli smiled, "When I returned to the capital later, I couldn't bake that taste." ”

"Occasionally, I wonder if it's because I'm not good at my craft, or if my mentality has changed." Wang Yuanli turned the quilt, and the turbid rice wine swirled in his hand, "Maybe it's really the mentality that has changed, and the people around me have also changed. ”

"You have a bright future, my cousin appreciates talents the most, if you are down-to-earth, it is not unrealistic to have a good official residence in the future." Jiang Yu seemed to point something, stared at Wang Yuanli's eyes, and said quite seriously.

Wang Yuanli tilted his head and smiled, Jiang Yu had an inexplicable bad premonition, "County Lord, people live on a one-way street in the world, and if they turn the corner, they can't turn back." ”

"Who said that life is a one-way street, and there are many places to turn in front of you." Perhaps it was through today's wine that the two of them spoke with a bit of sincerity.

"County Lord, people are different from each other." A wry smile appeared at the corner of Wang Yuanli's mouth, "It's like you were born with golden branches and jade leaves, but Uncle Liu's grandson can't even read." ”

After he finished speaking, he paused, "It's as if your cousin was born to inherit the throne and rule the world." ”

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, Jiang Yu had already guessed it, and he was unwilling.

Wang Yuanli is unwilling, he is a human being, and he was born with three, six, nine and so on.

He also has great ambitions, but he wants to be subservient.

Jiang Yu stood up suddenly, her heart suddenly chuckled, she looked at Wang Yuanli, and had some fear.

She subconsciously looked at the counter, and the shopkeeper just now was gone.

"Are you looking for someone? They were all invited to drink by my people. Wang Yuanli drank the last sip of wine, and his eyes were infinitely cold.

"You've been with Ji Yuan's people for so long, you should have followed me enough."

Jiang Yu turned around and wanted to run, but his eyes were dark and unconscious.
