The dinner that night was indescribable.

Girl, I was still like a little daughter-in-law who swallowed her anger, sitting in the corner of the dining table without saying a word, looking timidly at the two men sitting opposite, and vaguely felt that the air between them had become a little distorted in the collision of the powerful aura of the two sides.

At this time, the Keishui leopard looked indifferent, stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of duck meat and handed it to me: "Come to Xiaoyue, swimming consumes physical strength, eat a piece of duck to make up for it." ”

However, this piece of duck meat has not yet reached my bowl, and has been intercepted by another pair of chopsticks, "She doesn't like duck." ”

Brother Leopard's chopsticks fell suddenly, and he found another way, "We people with good water nature love to eat duck, this is called form to complement form, what do you know?" ”

Qin Lang's chopsticks were as fast as lightning, "How many days have you only known her?" Don't be smart! ”

I stroked my forehead with my hand, and watched helplessly as the two of them used chopsticks to make dozens of moves, and finally the poor piece of duck meat was thrown high and fell to the ground with a "chirp".

I sighed silently and put down the dishes and chopsticks in my hand, "I'm full, you feel free." ”

With that, he got up and quickly fled from this place of right and wrong.

I have never seen Qin Lang so small......

I sat in my room, looking out the window.

I just swam with someone else, and he was so awkward that he didn't want to think about how I felt when he was alone with the clouds and the moon, talking sweetly......

Thinking about this, I feel a little relieved.

Cloud Ballad ...... Thinking of this woman again, what makes me still puzzled is that we are very cautious in this trip, and the fat man is extremely low-key, except for a few small servants and maids Furui, the people and things in the palace are all abandoned, and the rich businessman's style is flawless.

Just thinking about it, he couldn't help but make two crisp sounds outside the house, accompanied by the low scolding of the water leopard, thinking that he finally lost, and a pair of chopsticks fell to the ground.

Chopsticks......

I had a flash of inspiration and instantly grabbed some inspiration.

The fat man was indeed well prepared, and replaced all his belongings before leaving, so as to wipe the royal seal clean.

Except for one thing.

And it was not his own idea to think of such a thing, but a small thing that she thought was inconspicuous that Miss Furao brought with her own initiative for the sake of the fat man.

It's what the fat man is used to in the palace, a pair of silver chopsticks that can test poison.

Miss Furao was afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be poisoned and assassinated, so she brought his silver chopsticks; And the fat man, because of his habitual use, is accustomed to turning a blind eye to it, and he does not notice the slightest inappropriateness.

It happened that Yun Yu and Fu Hui pulled that day, and accidentally knocked over the tray in Fu Yu's hand, and the pair of silver chopsticks fell to the ground, which attracted Yun Yu's attention.

Think about it, what ordinary people would use a pair of silver chopsticks with bright yellow tortoiseshell beads on the top?

I sighed: what a thousand miles of embankment destroyed in an anthill!

However, Yun Yu is the eyeliner of the lake bandits, and after she found the clues of the silver chopsticks, the next day, it was the Yangzhou prefect who came to reveal the identity of the fat man.

This shows that He Kui, the prefect of Yangzhou, is not as mediocre and harmless as the fat man said, but has long colluded with the lake bandits.

It's not good, he is the big boss behind the lake bandits.

Thinking of this, I bounced up, wanting to tell Qin Lang about these discoveries.

But in the blink of an eye, I thought that he was annoying me and fighting with the Misui leopard, and I hesitated, but decided to talk about it tomorrow morning.

I don't want to get up early the next morning, but there is one less person.

"Where's Brother Leopard?" I casually asked Qin Lang, who was standing in the courtyard.

There was a flash of fire in his phoenix eyes, and his tone was very cold: "I look for him when I get up in the morning, are you very familiar with him?" ”

His attitude of not yin and yang made the girl and me feel angry, so I took it for granted and said: "Yes, I hit it off with Brother Leopard at first sight and fell in love with each other." ”

I saw that Qin Lang's face turned black again, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "It's a pity that you, the leopard brother who hit it off at first sight, left early in the morning." ”

"Where?"

"I sent him to Yangzhou to report to His Highness the situation of the Gaoyou Lake bandits."

I left early in the morning without even saying hello...... I pouted, "You and him are the same Jinyi Wei Twenty-Eight Nights, and they are both under the Prince, why did you transfer him?" ”

A hint of pride flashed in the corner of Qin Lang's eyes: "In the next place, he is a little higher in the ranking." ”

I rolled my eyes without hesitation and sent him four words: "Public, retribution, private, revenge!" ”

After yawning, I planned to go to the kitchen to find something to eat and soothe my stomach that had been scared and didn't eat all night protesting last night.

But Qin Lang, who was behind him, still said very coldly: "When the two of you are idle and playing in the water, I sent someone to find out one thing, do you want to hear it?" ”

I paused in my footsteps, and replied in an indifferent tone: "Love to say it or not." ”

Hearing Qin Lang sigh lowly, Fang said, "The word 'peace' written by the prince on your hand that day should refer to the Ping'an Marquis who was sealed in Huai'an. ”

I turned around: "Ping'anhou? ”

According to Qin Lang's explanation, the Ping'an Hou lineage can be traced back to the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion against the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang married a wife of a fellow clan of the Ma family, named Ma Wusan, who was a bastard and bold guy, who was mobilized by Zhu Yuanzhang to join his revolutionary team. In the subsequent Eastern Expedition and Western War, Ma Wusan, as Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldier, relied on a desperate spirit and his own halo-like luck, and made many achievements along the way. After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he remembered his outstanding military achievements and was the clan of Queen Ma, so he was named "Ping'an Hou" and was sealed in Huai'an.

After being made a marquis, Ma Wusan felt that the name was a little unacceptable, so he moved the idea of changing the name. However, he is a rough person, but he is very self-righteous on such a major matter as changing his name, not to ask a civil servant staff officer for advice, but to rely on his childhood hearing and hearing a little and a half star memory when Mr. told the story of "Three Kingdoms", he gave himself a very "cultured" name - Ma Yan.

I suspect that this Ping'an Marquis was either playful when he was a child and didn't finish the story at all, or he fell asleep while listening to it, and didn't hear Ma Tan's final tragic ending at all.

Later, Ping'an Hou Ma Tan had a son, and he still took a strong path in naming his son. Remembering that he was a martial artist, he sincerely hoped that his son could have more connotation and convince people with virtue, so he named his son "Ma De".

I deeply admire the art of naming this old marquis who ruined himself and his descendants.

The old marquis Ma Tan has become ancient, and the current Ping'an Hou who lives in Huai'an is Ma De.

On the same day, the Bai merchant ship came to meet us, and then headed north to Huai'an.

After anchoring in Huai'an, Qin Lang sent the grain on the ship to the granary, and after getting the receipt and signature of the granary, the two of us went to the Yamen of the Salt Division set up in Huai'an City in exchange for salt.

There were quite a few salt merchants who came to the Yamen of the Salt Division to do business that day, and we queued up for half an afternoon, so that I was drowsy and got on the wheel. was going through the formalities, but suddenly heard a commotion at the gate.

I turned my head curiously to look, and saw a few people who looked like housekeepers shouting to disperse the salt merchants, and surrounded a young man in white, swaggering into the gate of the salt department.

"Where's the courgette? Get out of here! ”

The little man in white shouted very clearly, and saw that the young man in front of us who was bowing his head to make salt suddenly stopped his pen, and his face was wrinkled into bitter melon.

"Why are you so unlucky...... I heard him mutter, and before the words fell, the little boy had already stepped into the door, "Hugua! My son called you! ”

Looking at Brother Hugua in front of him again, his face was so bitter that he was almost dripping, but he squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, got up and said to the little boy: "I don't know if the young man is coming, the lower official is not welcome, I hope to atone for my sins!" ”

I couldn't help but feel sympathy for this Hugua brother, so I looked at this young man twice, and when I saw it, I almost couldn't help laughing.

However, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he has thin willow shoulders and thin waist, bright eyes and bright teeth, and wears a white brocade robe, which looks exquisitely carved and jade.

It's just that...... I sighed to myself: Can we women dress up as men and have some heart, so we can wrap our chests.

Now he is not a man or a woman, neither yin nor yang, and he is still a son, and he is a pseudo-girl.

Probably because I snickered a little obviously, Sai Gongzi raised his eyebrows and glared at me, and said to the almost decadent gourd: "I lost to you last time, my son was very dissatisfied, and today I visited the mountains and fields, and finally got a fierce general to compete with your mighty general!" ”

Reading the words like a play, I heard the girl and I didn't feel sleepy: this girl is actually here to seek revenge!

But seeing Hu Gua's embarrassed face: "Young Master Sai, you see I'm busy ...... here" said and glanced at me and Qin Lang very bitterly.

I just wanted to wave my hand and say it's okay, your grievances and hatreds matter, but Sai Gongzi took the lead, grabbed the collar of the courgette, and swept us in deterrence by the way: "Let them wait!" Without saying anything, he dragged the courgette away.

I was very displeased with her arrogant and unreasonable attitude, but thinking that other people's revenge was a big deal, I decided not to worry about her anymore, and was even interested in going to see a lively scene, but was stopped by Qin Lang mercilessly, so I had to give up.

After waiting for almost an hour, I saw Brother Hu Gua return with his head bowed and his shoulders down, and I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lord Hu, is this ...... Defeated? ”

Brother Hugua looked like he was about to cry: "It's good to lose, but it's better to win again!" ”

Victory, you are still this bear? I didn't understand it very much, but I heard him complain angrily: "The little beast has no eyesight! I'll pluck it and stew it in chicken soup when I go back tonight! Save and make trouble for Lao Tzu again! ”

Stewed chicken soup? When I heard it, it suddenly dawned on me, it was like a martial arts movie, and it was a cockfight after a long time.

However, the officials of the Salt Division can be called and drunk, "Dare to ask Master Hu, who was the Sai Gongzi just now?" ”

Brother Hugua looked awkward, shook his head and waved his hand with a look of "unspeakable", and quickly led us to make salt.
