"Because the corn grain in the frontier is better than the noodles in the capital, the sticky cake made is also better than the capital." Shen Yuexi said.

Oh? Zhao Zheng didn't expect this answer, he has never liked to eat slimy food.

"You taste it." Shen Yuexi handed the half-eaten sticky cake in his hand to Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng lowered his head and took a bite, he remembered that the sticky cake had always been eaten with honey, and the sticky cake without honey had a grain aroma, what was the difference with the capital, he didn't eat it, because even in the capital, he rarely ate the sticky cake dipped in honey.

"I didn't know you liked this." Zhao Zheng finished taking a bite and said softly.

Shen Yuexi smiled and didn't say anything.

Hu Zhuo also likes to eat sticky cakes, and in winter, they eat sticky cakes on the street with a piece of sticky cake as if it were yesterday.

Shen Yuexi lowered her eyes, she was on the frontier, and she couldn't escape the memories she had with her clumsiness.

"Didn't you say that the wine of the frontier is the strongest? Why don't you find a tavern for a drink tonight? Seeing that Shen Yuexi was silent, Zhao Zheng said.

Zhao Zhengtai knew the meaning of this place for Shen Yuexi, so he was afraid that she would be silent, and when she was silent, he felt that she was far away from him, which made him panic for no reason.

Shen Yuexi nodded.

In the winter nights of the border city, the business of the tavern has always been good, because in such a long and cold night, people have nothing to do, and it is the most desirable thing to get together for a drink and chat.

There was a vigorous fire burning in the tavern, water was boiling on the fire, and wine was warm in the water.

In the other corner, there were several charcoal braziers, on which was an iron rack, on which all kinds of meat were roasted, and the smell of zla was bubbling with the aroma.

This way of eating was learned from the Beihu people, and it is very suitable for drinking.

The tavern was noisy, and the people who had drunk spoke in thick voices, like a fight.

Fortunately, Shen Yuexi is familiar with these pictures, the border city borders Beihu, and the people here have to fight against the harsh climate, and they also have to fight against the Beihu thieves who come over from time to time.

Zhao Zheng and the others, under the guidance of the guys, sat down a little far away from the fire, and then the guys asked them what they wanted to drink and eat?

Zhao Zheng didn't know much about the food here, so he looked at Shen Yuexi, and Shen Yuexi made the decision and ordered some special foods from the border city, as for the wine, it must be a strong brew that is like fire in the throat.

After the guy remembered it, he turned and went down.

Only then did Zhao Zheng and the others look at the surrounding drinkers.

A pair of smiling eyes met Zhao Zheng's gaze. It was Wei Daxun, he also went to the border city, and he was also drinking in this tavern, and when he saw Zhao Zheng, Wei Daxun did not show a look of surprise, but just a meaningful smile.

Zhao Zheng was surprised, seeing people in the capital thousands of miles away, this feeling was a bit complicated.

Wei Daxun whispered something to his colleagues at the same table, then got up, came to Zhao Zheng, and opened his mouth to shout Seventh Prince An, but suddenly felt that it was out of place, so he changed his words and said: "Seventh Master, what a coincidence." ”

Zhao Zheng nodded and agreed with Wei Daxun's words, "It's better to sit together." ”

Wei Daxun turned his head to look at his colleague, sat down without excuses.

"Business trip?" Zhao Zheng asked briefly.

Wei Daxun nodded.

Zhao Zheng didn't ask any more. But Zhao Zheng knew that with Wei Daxun's level, this time he came either by order of the Ministry of War, or the emperor personally assigned him to come, as for what to do, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Zheng didn't want to ask too much.

"Seventh Master, aren't you curious about what kind of business you are?" Wei Daxun asked Zhao Zheng with a smile.

"How can you inquire so much about the affairs of the imperial court?" Zhao Zheng said and looked around, the tavern was lively, and no one paid attention to them.

Wei Daxun smiled and didn't speak again, but turned his head to look at Shen Yuexi, Shen Yuexi was also looking at him, Wei Daxun nodded to Shen Yuexi, which was regarded as a hello.

"Shen Qingshan, do you remember?" Then, Wei Daxun turned his head and asked Zhao Zheng.

Suddenly, hearing Shen Qingshan's name from Wei Daxun's mouth, Zhao Zheng and Shen Yuexi were a little surprised.

"Yes." Zhao Zheng nodded.

"Have you heard of his extermination?"

"I've heard of it." Zhao Zheng replied lightly.

"Seventh Master, aren't you curious about who killed the Shen clan?" Wei Daxun stared at Zhao Zheng.

"What about curiosity?" Zhao Zheng asked.

"If you're curious, why don't you look into this matter with me, what do you think?"

It turned out that Wei Daxun was here to investigate the case of Shen Qingshan's extermination, so he must have been entrusted by the emperor, and the military department would not be interested in this matter.

"I'm not a fast arrester, how can I investigate the case?" Zhao Zheng smiled faintly.

"Catching fast is just a profession, but investigating cases is something that everyone can do, it just depends on whether you want to or not."

"Sounds interesting, can you bring me along?" Shen Yuexi, who was on the side, suddenly spoke.

Wei Daxun looked at Shen Yuexi, and then at Zhao Zheng, "Seventh Master, this is the Seventh Princess?" ”

He had long heard about the legendary origin of the Seventh Princess.

Zhao Zheng nodded slightly.

"I've heard the name early, and I'm lucky to see it today." Wei Daxun said respectfully to Shen Yuexi.

"Wei Zhutou is polite." Shen Yuexi replied without being salty.

It's not the first time she's seen Wei Daxun, it's just that the last time she was far away, she didn't really see it.

"Everyone in the capital knows that the Seventh Prince gave you a name called Yue Xi, a good name." Wei Daxun continued.

"What's so good?" Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Shen Qingshan has a daughter named Shen Yuexi, and she doesn't know it...... Yuexi, Yuexi, are all good names. Wei Daxun smiled and replied with a reply.

"I can't see that Wei Zhutou is quite literate." Shen Yuexi sneered.

The atmosphere on the table was a little weird, Xiao Luzi noticed this, and he didn't understand what they were talking about at all, and it happened that the shopkeeper came with hot wine, so Xiao Luzi hurriedly got up, and the wine jug poured wine for the people present one by one.

"Then let's take a sip first." Zhao Zheng proposed.

Wei Daxun, Lang Kuo and Xiao Luzi all picked up their wine glasses, made a respectful gesture to Zhao Zheng, and then raised their necks and drank the wine in the glass.

Shen Yuexi also picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Wei Daxun glanced at it and smiled meaningfully, "The Seventh Princess has a good amount of wine." ”

Shen Yuexi didn't speak.

"I heard that the Seventh Princess is from Baishui Town, Jiangzhou, where fruit wine is abundant, and fruit wine is famous for its softness and mellowness, so do you still drink the fierce and fiery brew here in the borderland?" Wei Daxun asked.

"Whether it's soft and mellow, violent as fire, it's nothing more than wine, why is it not used to drinking?" Shen Yuexi did a tai chi.

"The Seventh Princess is really the best among women."

"Passing the prize."

Although Xiao Luzi was listening very carefully, he still didn't understand what they said, and when he saw the shopkeeper coming over with the barbecue they had ordered before, he got up and took it and put it on the table, the barbecue exuded a hot aroma, which was mouthwatering.

Xiao Luzi sat down, looking at Zhao Zheng with blank eyes, he had to wait for the Seventh Prince to move the chopsticks before they could eat.

As for what these people are saying, Xiao Luzi can't understand it, and he doesn't want to figure it out, he just needs to follow the Seventh Prince, have a strong eye, and serve the Seventh Prince.

Although Lang Kuo also didn't understand it, his mentality was different from Xiaoluzi, he was hired to be a dart master, he just needed to protect Shen Yuexi's personal safety, and the others could be ignored for the time being.

The more the wine was drunk, the more hearty it became, and the topics that Wei Daxun and Zhao Zheng chatted about became casual, occasionally mixed with heart-wrenching emotion.

Anyway, it's all about drinking, and people always need some time to take off their guard anyway, and a warm tavern on a cold night is really the best place.

I drank until midnight, and the wine was hot pot after pot, and when it finally ended, it suddenly became a little lonely.

Especially when I walked out of the tavern, the cold wind blowing outside made people feel disappointed. If you can, it's not bad to be drunk and dreaming of death all the time in a tavern.

**

Zhao Zheng and the others said goodbye to Wei Daxun at the door of the tavern and made an appointment to see each other tomorrow.

After returning to the inn, Shen Yuexi asked Zhao Zheng, "What is this Wei Daxun's ability, and the emperor will send him to investigate our Shen family's case?" ”

"There are no difficult cases in the capital that cannot be solved through his hands."

"Is there such a god?" Shen Yuexi thought for a while, "Pang Shicong's death, didn't he find out?" ”

Zhao Zheng smiled thoughtfully, "He just doesn't want to investigate, I want to know this situation, I stopped him at the gate of the palace that day, I'm afraid that he already knows that this matter is related to me." ”

After Zhao Zheng said this, Shen Yuexi couldn't help but start to look sideways at Wei Daxun.

"So, we don't have to do anything but wait for him to get to the bottom of it?" Shen Yuexi didn't expect such a person to suddenly appear, like divine help.

"Now it seems that it can be so." Zhao Zheng didn't expect that there would be a Wei Daxun suddenly.

"Will he find out who I really am?"

"He should have guessed your identity, and now in the tavern, the meaning of his words is already obvious."

Shen Yuexi thought about it, indeed, Wei Daxun's words at the wine table were very intriguing.

Moreover, it is too easy to investigate Shen Yuexi's background, especially in a place like the border city, just by pasting her portrait on the city gate, a group of people will identify her.

"Then can I go back to the capital with you in the future?" Shen Yuexi asked faintly.

Wei Daxun knows, which means that the emperor knows, if she dares to go back to the capital, isn't she rushing back to die?

It's just a matter of sending him to death, I'm afraid I'm afraid of causing trouble to Zhao Qiye.

"With me, no one can do anything to you." Zhao Zheng said calmly.

"But I don't want to go back, find out the murderer of the Shen family, and bring him to justice, I don't have anything to say, and I just want to live in peace for the rest of my life." After running around for so long, Shen Yuexi returned to the border city, and suddenly she wanted to settle down.
