Chapter Ninety-Nine: Wait for me to buy osmanthus cake for you
Ji Liren's brows were tightened, and he wanted to say something, but he was pulled by Suige's sleeves and whispered for a while, and then he gave up.
The two looked at the emperor who had been helped by the eunuch to sit aside, shook his head, and said goodbye respectfully before turning to leave.
It was still Gonggong Li who led the two away.
It's just that after walking down the long stairs, Gonggong Li painstakingly persuaded Sui Ge to sit in the sedan chair that had been prepared a long time ago. Thinking of walking around today, I was indeed a little tired, and it was not hypocritical to follow the song, so I said thank you and sat down. Ji Liren and Gonggong Li followed the side of the sedan chair towards the palace gate.
Along the way, Ji Liren didn't say a few words with the song, only Gonggong Li talked about many interesting stories inside and outside the palace. After walking for about half an hour, a few people finally arrived at the palace gate. Gonggong Li said goodbye to the two warmly, and then led the sedan chair back to the palace.
Sui Ge looked around, there were only a few guards on duty guarding the palace gate, and there were no other miscellaneous people.
"General, I think it's quite early, so why don't you go shopping in the night market with me." With the song smiling, he invited lightly.
Ji Liren nodded without thinking about it, ignoring the gazes of those guards, wrapped around Sui Ge's waist, and made Qinggong fly out on his tiptoes.
With the sound of the "rustling" wind in his ears, his lips moved with the song, and he said something to Ji Liren. Ji Liren listened, his brows slowly relaxed, and he replied with something. The soft whispers of the two dissipated into the wind, leaving no trace.
After a cup of tea, the two really walked aimlessly on the streets of the night market. When he walked to a small tea stall, Sui Ge pulled Ji Liren's sleeve and sat down.
Xiao Er wiped the table with a small smile and asked, "What kind of supper do the two guest officers want to have?" ”
"What are your famous snacks here?" Laughing with the song. Her appearance was originally clear and beautiful, with a little cold and glamorous feeling, but now she smiles like this, which can attract Xiao Er's soul.
Xiao Er's face flushed, and he said loudly: "The beef noodles and sesame cakes we have here are delicious, and with sweet and glutinous fruit wine, it is the best!" ”
Sui Ge nodded, took a silver ingot from the hidden pocket in the front placket and handed it to Xiao Er, and ordered: "Then serve two bowls of beef noodles, a sesame cake and a small pot of fruit wine." The rest will be given to you. ”
When Xiao Er heard this, he was very happy, and after taking the silver, he was excited to run to prepare food.
After only walking two steps, he was called by the song again: "Is there osmanthus cake here?" The sweet kind. ”
Xiao Er scratched the back of his head and replied embarrassedly: "This guest officer, we don't have osmanthus cake here, but we do have red bean cake, do you want to try it?" It's also delicious. ”
He laughed twice with the song and waved his hand. Xiao Er trotted away.
"Want to eat osmanthus cake again?" Ji Liren didn't know why she loved sweets so much, especially osmanthus cakes.
Touching his nose with the song, "I just suddenly want to eat." ”
There's no reason to want to eat something.
"Wait for me."
After Ji Liren said this, he ignored the song and went away.
Sui Song was stunned for a while, and then muttered: "I didn't let you buy it for me." ”
When Xiao Er sent the beef noodles up, Ji Liren hadn't come back yet.
Sui Song was idle and bored, and used chopsticks to dial all the green onions on the bowl to Ji Liren's bowl. At the end, I couldn't help but laugh.
This is what Ji Liren saw when he came back.
The woman he liked happened to be smiling at the two bowls of noodles. No matter how lively the surroundings were, in his eyes, there was only that little woman left.
"I'm back." Ji Liren put a small oil bag in his hand in front of Sui Ge.
Before it was opened, it could smell a faint scent of osmanthus flowers. In addition to this small oil packet, Ji Liren also bought a few strings of rock sugar gourds and fried chestnuts with sugar.
"What are you buying these for?" Sui Song flicked the oil paper and put down the chopsticks in his hand a little weakly.
"Give Nguyen Nguyen something to eat. Today, they also accompanied her for a day, and brought some food back to thank her. ”
Sui Ge suddenly felt that she was still incompetent, and even Ji Liren thought more thoughtfully than her.
"Eat quickly, I didn't see you eat anything in the palace just now." Ji Liren picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the last two slices of green onions in the bowl of the song into his bowl.
"The things cooked by the Imperial Chef don't taste my taste."
After laughing with the song, he picked up the chopsticks and really ate them, and sighed while eating: "It's still delicious at this street stall." ”
Ji Liren silently picked up a few slices of beef from his bowl and put them in the bowl with the song, "Eat more, you are too thin." ”
Sui Ge glanced at him, and he was not pretentious, he stuffed the beef into his mouth and ate it.
The two of them ate beef noodles bite by bite, without mentioning the incident in the palace.
After the bowl had bottomed out, he drank a few more mouthfuls of noodle soup, stopped his chopsticks with satisfaction, and couldn't wait to open the oil paper containing the osmanthus cake, pinched a piece of cake with two fingers and tasted it.
Ji Liren shook his head and wiped away the crumbs from her mouth with his fingers, with a tender expression.
It is rare to have such leisure, the two of them finished eating noodles, sat here idly, looking at the endless stream of people on the street, drinking fruit wine, and chatting without a word.
"With Ji Junshi here, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Those two are veterans, I'm not worried about the impact of the war on our army, I'm just wondering why I chose to keep me in Beijing at this time."
"What do you think?"
Ji Liren took a sip of wine, put the cup on the table, and tapped his fingers lightly on the wooden table. After a long while, he whispered, "Persian envoy." ”
"Sure enough." Sui Ge nodded, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, "I thought you forgot about him." ”
At the beginning, Bai Yutang once handed a small piece of information to Sui Ge, which said that the Persian envoy was cheating. At that time, Yin Dongsheng urgently reported the matter to the prince, and the prince sent someone to monitor it early, and until the death of the Persian envoy, nothing was found. Not to mention that the envoy had any bad intentions, he didn't even take a few steps to the gate, and stayed in the palace most of the time. Unlike several other envoys, wherever it is lively, they will visit and travel.
This time, the Persian envoy was "accidentally" killed by the group of actors, and the Persian side did not hear any major movements, but only sent someone to question the emperor and ask the emperor to give an explanation.
It stands to reason that the envoy to a country represents a country, and if the envoy is neglected or injured in any way, it will almost directly cause the fuse of war between the two countries.
But this Persia was surprisingly calm, not only did it not threaten with force, nor did it ask for compensation, but only asked Qingyun Guo to give an explanation, nothing more.
At this time, the emperor suddenly asked Ji Liren, who had been in the north of the town, to stay in the capital, and also dispatched two veterans to replace him. If these things are not coincidences, they don't believe Ji Li.
"Not only the Persian emissary, you have forgotten a person." Sui Ge finished eating all the osmanthus cakes in his hands, and didn't forget to lick his fingers, "King Yu." That playboy, the prodigal King Yu. ”
Ji Liren thought for a while, a little uncertain: "Dead soldiers in Linjiang City? ”
He nodded approvingly with the song.
It happened to be King Yu who was going to hand over the information of the dead soldier to the head catcher, and he hadn't collected the evidence yet, and he didn't know what the information he was going to do with the dead soldier, so he suddenly died in the palace, in front of King Duanyang. He was joined by the Persian deceased, who was said to be in question. Sui Ge always felt that the Persian deceased and King Yu must have known each other, but what did the two of them do secretly, and others had no way of knowing.
If Bai Susu is the emperor's person, and King Yu is the person of the Duanyang King, on the day of the assassination of the play, the Duanyang King and the King Jingli seemed to have joined forces again, but most of the dead people were the people of the Duanyang King.
Although all this is speculation with the song for the time being, but for now, it seems that eight or nine are not far from ten. It's just that there are many big contradictions in these places, and Sui Ge can't figure it out at some nodes, especially when it comes to Bai Susu, which makes her even more upset.
"Is there any news from Bai Susu and Bai Yutang?"
Ji Liren looked at her eyes and shook his head, "There is no news at all." It is not even known if they are still alive. What I haven't finished talking about last time is that not only did they have no news, but even the entire Bailing Hall suddenly stopped all activities overnight. After a pause, his face was serious, "The tone said that the activity had stopped, it was better to say that the entire Bailing Hall had lost its trace overnight, just like Bai Yutang and them. ”
Sui Ge pressed his temples with some headaches.
This white vegetarian really gave her a headache.
"Anyway, now you don't have to go to Saibei, you can be considered free for a while, these days, just plan and plan." After wrapping the uneaten osmanthus cake with the song, he stuffed it into Ji Liren's hand along with those rock sugar gourds, "Let's go back to the house first, and after seeing them, we will make plans." ”
Ji Liren nodded, got up with Sui Ge, took her hand, and walked into the crowd.
Not long after they left, a seductive-looking man walked out with an ugly face and sat down in the place where Sui Ge had just sit. The man took a sip of the fruit wine he had drunk with the song, and the expression on his face relaxed slightly.
Xiao Er was just about to come here to clean up, and when he saw someone sitting on the seat with the song, he was a little stunned, "This guest officer, I haven't cleaned up this table yet, why don't you wait for a while, and you will ...... it after the small one is cleaned up."
Before he finished speaking, the man took out a piece of gold and threw it into Xiao Er's hand. Xiao Er hurriedly caught it, almost not being frightened.
The man shook his hand and continued to sit quietly, sipping the wine. Xiao Er didn't dare to say more, took a bite of the gold, and left with a snickering with glowing eyes.
It wasn't until the small jug of wine left behind had been drunk that the man sighed almost silently and said, "Follow the song......
