Chapter Twenty-Six: Leaving the Palace

Zhuge Yue was tidying up the palace by the river, and Princess Jianing and Zifeng were watching from the side. At their feet were a few bundles of wild vegetables that Zhuge Yue had washed in advance, and the bundles of wild vegetables were green and watery, and they looked even more crisp and green in the midday sun.

Zifeng leaned on Princess Jianing's ear and whispered: "Look at his virtue, he doesn't look like a new daughter-in-law when washing vegetables?" Princess Jianing smiled and snorted.

Zhuge Yue finished tidying up, took the yellow sheep wax from his back pocket and lit it, put it in a closed jar with a slight ventilation hole, and put the jar into the upper airbag of the palace from the ground, and the airbag began to expand, rapidly expanding into a huge oval. After throwing a bunch of yellow sheep wax into the airbag, the palace began to leave the ground.

Zhuge Yue stretched out his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said with some pride: "Princess, envoy, please enter the palace." ”

Princess Jianing and Zifeng picked up the vegetables and floated up to the palace from the ground, and the palace was as safe as on the ground. After Zhuge Yue jumped on the palace from the ground, he pulled a cowhide rope, and the airbag in the upper house continued to expand, and rose a little, and threw in a few bundles of yellow sheep wax, and the fire suddenly became bigger.

Rising high from the palace.

Zhuge Yue quickly assembled a desk and three small chairs. He pulled it out of his back pocket and pulled out a small oven and a silver pot. Put a stone slab, set up a baking oven on the stone slab, put a yellow sheep wax at the bottom and light it, and the stove surface quickly heated up. The silver pot was placed on an iron stove, on which candles were lit, some water was poured, and the water quickly boiled.

Princess Jianing looked at it with relish, and looked at Zifeng from time to time, Zifeng reached out to help, but Princess Jianing stopped and said, "Wait, men are waiting for women, and then wait, we are not in a hurry." ”

Zhuge Yue raised his head and smiled, his eyebrows were handsome. He took out some more paper packets, which contained a variety of spices and put them into the pot one after another, and the spices kept tumbling in the boiling water until they melted, and the fragrance immediately came to his nose with the breeze.

The palace has risen to mid-air, the sky is clear and blue in the distance, the white clouds are leisurely, the green mountains are majestic and verdant, the river water is clear and turbulent nearby, there are fish jumping out from time to time, flowers are swaying from time to time, and insects are dense and cheerful.

It's beautiful! Zifeng's face also showed a rare smile and exclaimed.

Zhuge Yue took out cups, saucers, chopsticks and wine jugs and put them on the table, and the silver pots and white pottery plates shone softly in the sunlight. Zifeng pretended to urge: "Zhuge Yue, can you hurry up?" ”

Zhuge Yue was not in a hurry, turned around and looked, took out three packets of sealed fresh meat, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Now you can get out of the pot." ”

Zifeng put the meat down in the pot with his hands, prepared the sauce with his hands, and then gave some to Princess Jianing. Princess Jianing couldn't help but chuckle a few times.

Zidao didn't know why, and asked, "What are you laughing at?" Princess Jianing smiled: "It's the first time I've eaten in mid-air, this is too funny, isn't it?" ”

Zhuge Yue also smiled and said, "Princess, start cooking, the taste must not be wrong." ”

Princess Jianing picked up the chopsticks and put some vegetables into the pot: "You have a whole oven, what shall we bake?" ”

Zhuge Yue clapped his hands on each other, and then took out a kind of oar from his backpack, which turned when he saw the wind in the air. The oars are hung on the side of the palace, and with the help of the wind, the oars turn faster and faster, and fly away from the palace in the direction of the oars. He tied a flap to the cable of the palace from the ground, and under the flap was a tube made of bamboo branches, in which there was a fast-turning flywheel, on which a circle of round and dense jujube sticks was installed, and then some golden rice grains were sprinkled on the flap.

Rising higher and higher from the palace, the cool breeze blows from time to time, and unlike the sultry heat below, the upper part is very comfortable.

After Zhuge Yue finished his work, he turned around and sat down: "Let's eat and drink at the same time, there will be something roasted and eaten in a while, come, I'll fill it for the princess first." ”

Zifeng looked at the splashing water in the pot and said, "Hey, it's cooked, eat a few bites first, and then drink it slowly." ”

Zifeng sandwiched some meat and vegetables for Princess Jianing, and Princess Jianing said: "Sister Zifeng, you can clip it yourself, and eat more delicious food made by Zhuge Gongzi." ”

Zifeng said: "I borrowed the princess's light, otherwise how could I think of eating hot pot in mid-air, I can't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes." ”

Zhuge Yue took a few bites, raised his wine glass and said, "We have a wise and martial princess, and we have a beautiful and lively messenger." ”

The three of them raised their glasses and drank all the wine, and Princess Jianing laughed out loud and said, "This sycophant is impenetrable." ”

Zhuge Yue smiled and said: "I can't shoot it, I can't do it, people are just scholars, except for playing, eating, and leaving, I won't know anything, if the princess is in charge of the Great Qiangong and dominates the Ten Directions Continent, and the Zifeng Envoy will immediately become the head of the Great Qiangong, will it be okay?" Don't forget about me as a minion when the time comes! ”

Princess Jianing filled Zifeng with a glass of wine and said, "Sister Zifeng, do you think he is hypocritical?" ”

Zifeng Zhengse looked at Zhuge Yue, and Zhuge Yue suddenly supported his chin with one hand and made a gesture. Zifeng said: "He's not pretentious, he's acting, he's playing his daughter's style." ”

The three of them laughed, Zhuge Yue raised the silver cup and touched it with Princess Jianing and Zifeng, and there was a crisp sound, and the three of them drank it all.

Zhuge Yue put down his wine glass and said, "Princess, why did you suddenly remember to go to Taibai Building?" ”

Princess Jianing stroked the hair floating in front of her forehead and said: "This has to start with the male boss of the hotel, he deliberately led us to the Afterlife Inn that day, and we met the ghost mother-in-law at the Afterlife Inn, which is to tell us that the people of the Dragon Gang on the Pure Land Continent are there." Lead us into the three-way tomb and meet four giant pythons, that is to tell us that the person we are looking for is in front of us, and at the same time to lure us away, do you think about why they want to lure us away? ”

Zhuge Yue took a bite of food and said, "Of course I understand now, there is something going on in the three-way tomb." ”

Princess Jianing said: "Yes, the shadowless boy does not go with us, on the grounds of the new chaos of the Underworld Sect, in fact, he wants to join forces with Chang Yanxiao, so that we don't know about some things, which means that it is inconvenient for the two of them to talk about things with outsiders." On that day, Cui Ming was alone when he escaped from the Santong Tomb, and he stole a batch of gold from the Underworld, where did you say that batch of gold was hidden? ”

Zifeng said: "Of course it's the three-way tomb." ”

Princess Jianing said: "So I said at the time that we were fooled, so I rushed to the Santong Tomb." ”

Zhuge Yue asked: "I don't understand, how do you know that the gold must be in Taibai Building?" ”

Princess Jianing said: "The matter of the Afterlife Inn is just a false shot, which seems to be very clear now, I didn't expect that the gold was in Taibai Mansion at that time." Just as we walked out of the three-way tomb again, I found that the small clod at the entrance of the cave was only dry on the outside and broken with my feet, and the soil inside was new, which indicated that the soil was brought out by the person who carried the gold, and it was not long, which means that the person who snatched the gold could not go far. ”

Zhuge Yue nodded in admiration, and Princess Jianing said: "The afterlife inn was attacked, it is not safe for us anymore, and ordinary people will not go back after leaving, this is a normal judgment, that is, the gold is safe when it is transported to the inn, this is a logical inference, but think about it, are those people simple people?" He thought it would be safe to make one more turn, but where else was there nearby? So I judged that the gold must be in the Taibai Building and not in the Afterlife Inn. ”

Zhuge Yue was still puzzled and asked, "But we have been to Taibai Building!" ”

Princess Jianing said with a smile: "It's right to be there, only the Afterlife Inn and Taibai Building in this area are located at the intersection of the two continents, and it is easy to concentrate people who come from the south to the north, and only the people who come from the south to the north are not noticed when they leave, so in this way, the Afterlife Inn can't store that batch of gold, is there any other place besides Taibai Building?" ”

Zifeng saw Zhuge Yue looking straight at Princess Jianing, and said, "Don't look stupid, what are we going to bake?" ”

Zhuge Yue came back to his senses and said, "It is definitely enough for the princess to be a god hunt of the Ten Directions Continent. After finishing speaking, he learned a few bird calls, and the calls came far away with Xuanli, and a few birds quickly flew over, lingering above the palace from the ground, chirping non-stop, and extremely excited. I saw the rice grains coming down to peck at it, but when the flap was overturned, the bird fell into the flap, and the flywheel was driven by the flap to rotate rapidly, and in an instant, the bird was killed, and the feathers were beaten down. The bird slid down the slide under the flywheel straight onto the oven, quite accurately, not bad at all.

Zhuge Yue smiled: "Isn't this there?" ”

Princess Jianing frowned and said, "How cruel it is to eat these birds and sparrows." ”

Zhuge Yue said with a smile: "There are many such birds, called greedy birds, also called not enough to eat, if they are more, other birds will not have food to eat, so there is more than enough to die, this is also God's arrangement." ”

Then a few more ravinous birds slipped down, and Princess Jianing looked at them, and their feathers had fallen off and floated into a small pocket below.

Zhuge Yue turned the bird meat back and forth, brushed the seasoning from time to time, and occasionally took a knife to make a few cuts on the bird's body, and said, "It's good right away, it's good right away." ”

Princess Jianing took a sip of wine, looked at Zhuge Yue and smiled, and said, "Sister Zifeng, this slave wants it." ”

Zifeng smiled, hugged Princess Jianing's waist, and said, "If you want it, you want it, this is also an explanation and supplement to the cruelty of the rivers and lakes." ”

There was a light smoke on the oven, and the fragrance came out, and the greedy bird's whole body was roasted to a sallow yellow, covered with the seasoning sprinkled by Zhuge Yue.

Zhuge Yue gave the greedy bird to Princess Jianing and Zifeng one each, and said: "Come, taste, this kind of bird is greedy for meat and fat, tender and delicious, and it is rare." ”

Zifeng raised his wine glass and said, "For your diligence, for your fun, have a drink." ”

The three of them had another drink, and after putting down the wine glasses, Zhuge Yue said: "The shadowless boy got the five boxes of gold, and you said that the other five boxes were not his, so whose ones are they?" ”

Princess Jianing stood up, looked at the starry sky, and said: "As the saying goes, Zhuge Gongzi, you were born in a family of builders, and you must know the geography of mountains and rivers, according to you, what makes the Hidden Spirit Continent and the Pure Land connected?" ”

Zhuge Yue was startled, and the food in his mouth was so hot that he grinned. With a good mouth, Zhuge Yue said: "The two continents can't be connected logically, otherwise they won't be two continents, so I can't understand." ”

Princess Jianing nodded.

As the night darkens, the starlight falls and the bright spots on the river shine.

A gust of wind blew, and her hair covered Princess Jianing's face. Under the starry sky of the night, under the faint reflection of candlelight, Princess Jianing was dressed in white and had her hair cut, which was very beautiful.

Princess Jianing returned to her seat, and Zifeng said, "The people who led us away don't seem to want to kill us, as if our arrival in some place is their purpose. ”

Zhuge Yue said: "I feel the same way. ”

Princess Jianing said: "It's not a simple matter to kill us, right? Zhuge Gongzi is unpredictable, Zifeng Messenger sees and listens to all directions, Princess Jianing is as careful as a hair, smart and brilliant, hehe......"

Zhuge Yue raised his glass again and said, "Take another drink for our extraordinary." ”

After putting down the wine glass, Princess Jianing said, "He really doesn't want to kill us, and this is exactly what we don't understand." ”

Flying over a jungle from the palace, the lights next to the jungle were brilliant, and the cool breeze was blowing in the air, Princess Jianing said: "This night is so beautiful, look down, the world is full of prosperity." ”

Zifeng looked down and said, "Once you get to the bottom, you may not know what is behind the prosperity." ”

Princess Jianing said: "Our air hot pot is almost eaten, the barbecue is almost finished, and the wine is almost finished, and it is estimated that after resting for a while, we will go to the helm of the Dragon Gang in the Pure Land Continent." ”

Zi Feng said: "The two protectors of the Underworld Sect have betrayed the Sect, and among them, Cui Ming has long colluded with the Earth Dragon Gang, I don't know if this is auspicious or evil?" ”

Princess Jianing smiled, her eyes as bright as the stars in the sky.
