Chapter 140: Chopping Wood for You

Lu Xiyi looked at him like a magpie. What does he mean by this? Could it be that Lu Xiyi thanked him? Moreover, this "victory" did not bring real joy to Lu Xiyi. An old man is dead, and she has nothing to rejoice about.

"Xiaoyao Wine House has not fallen, and there is a credit to the eldest prince." Lu Xiyi looked at Zhong Yihan carefully, even if he couldn't see his face because of the mask, Lu Xiyi still imagined Zhong Yihan's face in his mind. Is it a standard aristocratic son? Still is...... For some reason, Lu Xiyi never thought that Zhong Yihan was an ugly-looking man.

A trace of joy flashed in Zhong Yihan's eyes, but it was only fleeting, replaced by worry: "Have you ever heard of such a sentence, otherwise it is extremely Tailai, victory and defeat are impermanent." ”

Lu Xiyi and Liu Ji looked at each other, and they were wondering in their hearts, something was wrong with Zhong Yihan today, and there was a trace of gloom in his eyes.

"Does the eldest prince want us to pay attention to guarding against the enemy's counterattack?" Lu Xiyi asked tentatively. She knew that Manager Lu was just a pawn of Mrs. Lu and Lu Ruoling, and as long as their mother and daughter were still there, Lu Xiyi's wine shop would not want to live a peaceful life.

Zhong Yihan nodded and took a few steps: "Do you know who is behind Manager Lu and the building staff?" ”

Lu Xiyi and the others shook their heads.

Zhong Yihan stared at Lu Xiyi, his eyes full of warning: "It's the eldest princess." "The eldest princess attended Manager Lu's funeral, and Zhong Yihan already knew about it. The eldest princess, who had not been involved in the capital for many years, suddenly appeared, and Zhong Yihan had to guess, what was she doing here? If it weren't for something important, would she have walked out of the temple? Then, Zhong Yihan thought of Xiaoyao Wine Shop and Lu Xiyi.

Lu Xiyi, Liu Ji, Li Xiao and others have also heard of the name of the eldest princess, but what kind of person the eldest princess is, none of them understand very well.

The eldest princess is a person of the same era as Zhen Guogong, Zhong Yihan actually didn't know it, and when she grew up, she only knew about her when she heard Zhen Guogong talk about it.

According to Zhen Guogong, the emperor of this dynasty raised troops to conquer the world, and the eldest princess also formed a women's army, brave and good at fighting, and repeatedly made military exploits, which was one of the three most important teams at that time. The reason why the emperor can be the emperor is inseparable from the help of the eldest princess. Therefore, when the world was first decided, the emperor still intended to be on an equal footing with the eldest princess. However, the eldest princess's husband was killed in the war, she had no children, she thought that she had killed too much, and God would retribution, so she faded out of the center of power and practiced in a nunnery.

The eldest princess before the cultivation was impatient, fierce and ruthless, and whoever wanted to provoke her would be in big trouble. This is also the reason why Zhong Yihan is uneasy in his heart.

Regarding Zhong Yihan's words, Liu Ji snorted coldly: "Isn't she just an eldest princess who recites scriptures in the nunnery, is it possible that she will use her magic power to eliminate our Xiaoyao Wine Workshop?" As he spoke, he smiled secretly. Later, it was found that Lu Xiyi, Zhong Yihan, Li Xiao and others were not smiling, so he stopped. I muttered to myself: Aren't my jokes funny? These people, why are they serious one by one!

"Eldest prince, do you mean that the eldest princess will deal with and frame us because of the affairs of the building staff and Manager Lu?" Although Lu Xiyi is not too familiar with the eldest princess, through Zhong Yihan's melancholy cold eyes, she can vaguely see a ruthless woman who has no power, but as long as she speaks, the world will be turned upside down.

Zhong Yihan nodded.

Lu Xiyi thought about it, his expression was relaxed, and two small dimples appeared on the corners of his mouth: "I believe that the eldest princess will not directly persuade the emperor to send troops to seal our Xiaoyao Wine Workshop, if I fight my wits, I may not lose to her." ”

"You're too conceited, aren't you?" Liu Ji said with a smile.

Lu Xiyi had a smile on his face, but his words were very serious: "We haven't done anything bad, and we haven't seen anything unpleasant, so why should we be afraid?" The soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, and the Tao is that the auspicious people have their own natural appearance, and the days are sad, happy, and happy, it is better to be happy. What do you think? ”

Lu Xiyi's words are naturally reasonable, but the main thing is to comfort Liu Ji, Li Xiao and others. Zhong Yihan followed her all the way to the workshop.

When Lu Xiyi wanted to pick up the axe to chop wood, a powerful hand grabbed it, Lu Xiyi trembled all over, and the axe fell out of her hand.

In the palm of her hand, Zhong Yihan saw several calluses.

"Why do you have to do everything yourself, work like chopping wood should be done by men." Zhong Yihan was distressed. Lu Xiyi's face is fair and tender, who knew that her hands were so rough!

Lu Xiyi found that Zhong Yihan was staring at her hand, and hurriedly curled up his hand, his earlobe slightly red. A woman who loves beauty is always afraid that others will see her flaws: "I can do this work alone, why bother to recruit another male worker to come in." The voice suddenly became soft, so weak that it was almost inaudible, "Eldest Prince, can you let go of my hand?" ”

Zhong Yihan's heart sank, and he realized that he grabbed Lu Xiyi's wrist too hard, too abruptly, men and women can't kiss, not to mention being grabbed by a man for a long time!

"Excuse me!" Zhong Yihan was even more nervous and shy than Lu Xiyi, hurriedly let go of his hand, squatted down, and picked up the axe on the ground, "If Shopkeeper Lu doesn't mind, I will chop this firewood in the future, how about it?" ”

Is he telling the truth, or is it false? He is a childe, even if he wears a mask, he is also a childe! He can practice swords and swords, but he may not be able to chop wood and carry water.

Lu Xiyi only took a spring breeze blowing, and did not take his words seriously: "What did the eldest prince say, how could you noble sons do this work!" I'm afraid of hurting your jade hands. As he spoke, he wanted to snatch the axe in Zhong Yihan's hand again.

Zhong Yihan grasped it firmly: "Look at my splitting, if the splitting is good, you will leave me, if the splitting is not good, you will come by yourself!" Before the words fell, I saw him erect a round piece of wood, and without holding it with his hand, he directly slashed it with his right hand, and with a click, the wood became two halves. He seemed to have chopped wood before, and he was very skillful, and in an instant, he had chopped a pile of wood.

He stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his eyes were bright: "Shopkeeper Lu, what do you think of my split?" ”

"Yes, it's better than my split!" Lu Xiyi hurriedly brought a towel and asked Zhong Yihan to wipe it. "You woodcutter, I'll take it! I just don't know, how much do you want to be paid? ”

Lu Xiyi's words caused Zhong Yihan to laugh, and Lu Xiyi, who was laughing, was uneasy.

Zhong Yihan said: "As long as I can drink the sweet wine of the shopkeeper Lu every day, I will be content." Money, I have. ”

His words made Lu Xiyi both shy and warm. Yes, he is the son of a town and a country, and he still lacks this little money? Giving him money to start work is simply humiliating him.

"Okay, we'll make up our minds!" Lu Xiyi was very happy, as if the two small pigtails hanging on his chest were flying, "In the future, you come over to chop wood for me, and I will give you two catties of sweet wine." Or any other liquor, whatever you like. ”
