Beiyan is a small country with abundant food and stable and rich people, Cao Ran wanders along the bustling streets, and the stalls on the street are mostly fragrant snacks. Cao Ran touched her bulging belly, and looked at the delicacies one by one, filling soup and meat buns, yellow finch steamed buns, osmanthus cakes, spring rolls, and five-flower noodles...... Tut-tuk is really a country rich in food and clothing, it is estimated that the people here are focusing on eating, "Yes, yes, I finally found a place I like after so long, haha" Cao Ran muttered to herself, showing her foodie nature, and secretly wrote down the few restaurants she wanted to eat, preparing to taste them one by one in the next few days.

Shopping to the end of the street has been carrying a large bag of snacks, on the way back Cao Ran couldn't help but free a hand to stuff a piece of osmanthus cake into his mouth, the osmanthus fragrance is elegant, walking and walking, I feel that there is a figure behind me to follow all the way, turn around a half-person tall figure bumped up, almost knocked away the half-opened osmanthus cake in his hand.

The villain has messy hair, a gray face, and is dressed neatly. He leaned over and raised his head, and his pitiful eyes fell on the osmanthus cake in Cao Ran's hand.

Cao Ran shook the osmanthus cake in her hand and said softly to the villain, "You want this?" ”

The little man nodded.

Cao Ran gave the rest of the osmanthus cake to the villain, and the villain continued to follow her with the osmanthus cake. Cao Ran stopped and turned back to the villain, helped him wipe the stains on his face, and said with a smile: "Little brat, why don't you eat it when you have it?" Raise all the snacks in his hand to the level of the villain's eyes, "Is there anything else you want to eat?" Take whatever you want. Cao Ran judged that she must be hungry to follow her all the time.

However, the little man shook his head, blinked a pair of pitiful eyes, and said in an astringent voice: "Sister, are you a fairy?" ”

"Fairy? Hehe" Cao Ran was amused by the villain's words, "Little fart, I'm not a fairy. She put all the bags into the little man's arms, "Take them and eat them, don't follow me." ”

After walking some distance, the little man with a dirty face still followed behind him. She squatted down and let out a long sigh of relief, "Why are you still following me?" ”

The little man blinked his eyes and said to her, "Sister, I have nowhere to go." ”

Cao Ran looked at the villain carefully, although his hair was messy and his face was full of dust, but he was neatly dressed, and he didn't look like a beggar, she said in a soft voice: "Are you lost with your family?" ”

The villain was silent for a moment, nodded, and Cao Ran was helpless and took the villain back to the inn.

After cleaning the villain, it was a little boy with a round face and round eyes. He ate the noodle soup in the bowl one bite at a time, looking hungry and polite.

"What's your name? Where do you live? Cao Ran asked.

The little boy wiped the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "My name is Jiang Chumeng, and I am the prince of Qi State. ”

Cao Ran stared at the boy in front of him who was only four or five years old, he was actually the prince of Qi State. She is really destined for the prince, and there is a prince of Daliang by her side, and this is another prince of Qi country. She raised her arms, looked down and said, "Little fart boy can't lie, this is Beiyan, how could the little prince of Qi come here." ”

"I was sent to Beiyan as a proton when I was very young, I am the eldest son of my father, and I can't lie." As he spoke, he took out an emerald green jade wrench from his wardrobe, which was engraved with a thin dragon pattern, which was obviously not an ordinary thing.

Cao Ran looked at it carefully and continued to ask: "Then why did you end up on the street, looking at your gray face, where do you look like a prince?" ”

"This prince wants to go back to Qi Kingdom, but he accidentally got lost, where is he not like the prince?" Cao Ran's unintentional words, but the little prince was a little angry when he heard it.

Cao Ran said seriously: "Then you really have to put away this jade wrench, otherwise it's really not like it." ”

The little prince carefully stuffed the jade wrench into the wardrobe and tilted his little head, "Sister Huayi also said that I don't like it, but I didn't show her this, because I don't think she can see anything even if she looks at it." ”

Cao Ran was amused by the appearance of the little prince and laughed, the little prince stared straight at Cao Ran, who was smiling with slightly upturned eyebrows, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, you also laughed like this when you turned around to give me osmanthus cake on the street, and you laughed like a fairy in the book." ”

"Little fart child, read less of the book of ghosts and gods, and more of the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text are serious."

The little prince frowned: "I was already able to write silently when I was three years old, and Mr. no longer let me learn these basics." ”

Cao Ran's smile condensed on her face, if she was a college graduate, if she wanted to write silently, she might not be as good as a four or five-year-old child, she cleared her throat and said with a dry smile: "Ahem, it's good that you still have time to read more extracurricular books." ”

In the upper compartment of the inn, Zhu Xuan filled the teacup in front of him and handed it to the middle-aged man opposite, sat upright and said solemnly: "My mother has been deceased for many years, and I once said that I had saved my life for the Marquis of Yuling before I was alive, and I explained that if you come to Dragon City, you must see how you are doing for her." ”

The middle-aged man got up respectfully and took the teacup with both hands, "Thank you Niangniang and King Yue for your memory." He relieved himself and said: "When Daliang was at war with the Jin Kingdom, I followed my mother back to the Jin Kingdom to visit relatives, and I was captured by Daliang by mistake. My mother died on the way, I was taken into the palace of Daliang as a slave, I was only eight years old at that time, Emperor Liang had just ascended the throne, my mother saw that I was pitiful and begged Emperor Liang to pardon the world and include me in it, so that I could return to Beiyan. Li Guang will never forget the kindness of the mother. ”

"The Marquis of Yuling is serious, and his mother is kind-hearted, just to reduce the sins of the war." Zhu Xuan's tone was indifferent.

Li Guang sighed and said: "I also heard many years ago that Niangniang was killed by Queen Xiuwen fifteen years ago, and Niangniang was slandered so much that she only hated that I couldn't do a little bit for Niangniang in the same dynasty." ”

Zhu Xuan's eyes were clear, and he said: "Marquis Yuling doesn't have to blame himself, although he can't avenge his mother right now, there is one thing that can only be asked by Marquis Yuling." ”

"King Yue, please speak."

Zhu Xuan continued: "King Xuan of the Jin Kingdom has arrived in Beiyan with 3,000 soldiers and horses a month ago, and I heard that the Marquis of Yuling and the King of Xuan have old friends, so I want to ask the Marquis of Yuling to introduce him. ”

Li Guang said hesitantly: "Oh? It's not a shirk, it's just a question. King Xuan's army was stationed on the border between Northern Yan and Jin, and Emperor Yan personally gave him a mansion in King Xuan a month ago to make him talk to us in detail. King Yue can go to visit on his own, so why bother to be introduced by Li Guang? ”
