"Hello Mr. Zheng."

Ayuta greeted Zheng Zhiya in front of the apartment.

She was followed by Qin Feng, who had been missing for a day.

Zheng Zhiya's expression was very embarrassed, because judging from the plastic bag Qin Feng was carrying, they had just returned from the supermarket. It's really laid-back.

However, why did she know her real name, Qin Feng should not have told her.

"You must be wondering, how do I know your real name, right? Let's not talk outside the door, it's time to eat, I'm going to make curry today, and I've prepared your portion. ”

Ayuta looked sincere and enthusiastic and said to Zheng Zhiya, which made Zheng Zhiya have more doubts in his heart. What the hell is going on.

Zheng Zhiya looked up at Qin Feng, Qin Feng nodded and signaled that there was no problem and let him in. Zheng Zhiya glared at him when he saw that he had nothing to do, and his disgust was overflowing.

Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he couldn't help it.

Ayuta looked back and said.

"What are you still grinding about, why don't you come in quickly."

The two of them entered Ayuta's room one after the other, it was a two-bedroom high-end apartment, and there was a not-so-good place that the kitchen and living room were connected, and it was estimated that the room would smell if it was stir-fried.

In addition, the room as a whole is elegant and tidy, and the doors of the two inner rooms are closed, I don't know what the situation is. The red fabric sofa in the living room is a bit messy, and you can see that you have slept with someone.

Zheng Zhiya felt that Qin Feng should have slept on this sofa last night.

Right?

Or else?

Otherwise, if Qin Feng betrayed himself for a woman, he would find an opportunity to kill him.

Ayuta entered the door and opened the refrigerator, put the plastic bag on the floor, took out orange juice and soda from the refrigerator, and posed it on each hand.

Qin Feng wants soda, and Zheng Zhiya wants orange juice.

Then she took three more clean glasses out of the closet and poured bubbling soda water into two and orange juice into one.

Zheng Zhiya took the orange juice handed over by Ayuta.

After taking a sip, I felt that the heat had dissipated, and the tension in the atmosphere of the three of them had dissipated a lot.

What's more, when strangers meet, having a familiar person present can ease the atmosphere a lot.

"That..."

"Mr. Zheng, you must have a lot of doubts, please don't worry, I am not your enemy. Instead, I want to join your family. ”

Zheng Zhiya barely swallowed the orange juice in his mouth, although he still choked. Then he glanced at Qin Feng meaningfully.

Qin Feng's face was also clouded, just like the expression of most men when they didn't want to be responsible.

"That, girl. Kindness... Although I am his elder, I really can't do his business. Although it is said that the locals should follow the customs, China and Thailand may be different, and we advocate the freedom of love. ”

Ayuta scoffed.

"It has nothing to do with Mr. Qin, of course, Mr. Qin also provided me with some help. But it's also semi-forced. After all, I put a spirit Gu on him. ”

Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders, and Zheng Zhiya gave him a blank look.

"I know that Mr. Zheng came to Thailand to find a day to record."

"He's even told you that."

"You should know that our witch doctor's spirit Gu is much better than spirit runes in terms of manipulating people's wills, whether living or dead. Therefore, Mr. Qin fell for my Gu and could only obey me. ”

Zheng Zhiya sighed.

"Tell me, why did you want to join our family."

"The reason is simple, I don't have a family anymore."

Ayuta's words made the air in the living room condense for a while, and Zheng Zhiya was silent for a while. Nine times out of ten, the orphan daughter of a fortune teller is because of the persecution of the Heavenly Dao.

"My name is Ayuta This is my real name, your name, Qin Feng has already told me, although it is not of his own volition."

Zheng Zhiya nodded, and Qin Feng shrugged.

"Of course, what I'm going to join is a Chinese family, and later we can change the name to a Chinese name, I hope. We fortune tellers know that a real name means a name that is recognized by the real family. I've lost my old family, and I remember them, but I want to live on. Therefore, I would like to choose a family that has the most connections to our family to join. That is, your Zheng family. ”

"Ayuta girl, do you talk about the origin?"

"Yes, I'll go stuff the rice first, and we can talk about it later."

"Do you want me to help you?"

"I don't think so, I'm going to make Malay chicken leg curry rice today, which may be different from what you eat in China."

"Qin Feng, you go and give Ayuta a shot."

Zheng Zhiya summoned Qin Feng and said.

"Yes. Ayuta, let me help you, I usually cook for Zheng Zhiya at home. ”

Zheng Zhiya thought to himself, you eat at my house on weekdays, and you are embarrassed to say that you make all the dishes on weekdays.

Ayuta was washing rice and cooking rice in the kitchen, while Qin Feng helped her cut the side dishes for curry first. By the way, according to Ayuta's instructions, I prepared all the seasonings needed for the cooking.

Zheng Zhiya turned on the TV in the living room, and the TV was full of Thai advertisements that Zheng Zhiya couldn't understand, so he flipped through them. After flipping through the pages, I finally found an English station, which happened to be broadcasting local news.

At noon today, a well-known local philanthropist in Bangkok was assassinated. According to eyewitnesses, the thug ****** quickly stabbed the dagger in the back as the victim came out of front of his company and fled.

The news did not broadcast the details of the killing, but only broadcast surveillance footage and eyewitness memory correction portraits.

It is very similar to the appearance of Zheng Zhiya who saw the criminal who killed the entrepreneur last night this morning, and they all have the face of the executor. However, that thin figure was reminiscent of Qin Feng.

After the portrait of the offender was broadcast, the mourning of the victim's family began. and the strong condemnation of the police and the determination to take an oath to bring the culprits to justice.

"Qin Feng, did you go to kill people at noon?"

Zheng Zhiya asked Qin Feng, who was helping with the cooking.

"yes."

According to Ayuta's instructions, Qin Feng cut the big chicken thigh with three bones with a kitchen knife, directly exposing the bones. Then place it on absorbent paper to remove the gore from the chicken thighs. This will make it easier for the curry to absorb the flavor when cooking.

"Killed a philanthropist?"

"I don't know, but I heard Ayuta say he's a bad person. After all, you also know that I fell for the Gu, and I can't listen to her. ”

Ayuta, who had just finished the rice and pressed the switch of the rice cooker, answered.

"Oh, the man at noon. He's an underworld boss and a member of the Snake Society. ”

"Let me think about it, the reason why you killed him must not be because of how loyal he is to the Heavenly Dao."

"Actually, we usually just call them Naga. However, the way of heaven can also do. All I care about is the woman's name. ”

"You mean Liu Ying?"

"yes."

Ayuta took out the pan and put the butter in, the butter quickly melted at the bottom of the pan when it was hot, and she put Qin Feng's chopped onion into it and choked the pot.

"You deliberately let Qin Feng pretend to be Liu Ying's guard-the gang bosses who assassinated her vassals, it seems that you want to create turmoil within them."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"Then if I were you, I would definitely not choose those gangs who are loyal to her, and I would definitely choose those who are slightly disagreeing with her, so that others will think that she is eradicating dissidents."

"So, except for the first Qinglian Gang's Du Ankang, who has a personal vendetta against me, I deliberately lured him to beat me, tricked him, and let him die of hilarious laughter under my control."

"Why did you die in hilarity?"

"Because I've seen Liu Ying be the one he killed, and he died with a smile on his face."

"Then you want to imitate Liu Yingshi and blame her, shouldn't you also make Du Ankang's death feel like a dream?"

Ayuta had already mixed the curry and added water. Also just boiled. Yes, put in the chicken thighs.

"That greasy and despicable fat man, how can he deserve to die in the same way as my family and Uncle Li. He should have been more miserable. ”

After saying this, Ayuta put the three chicken legs in the pot and closed the lid.

Therefore, there is a flaw in this blame, and the reason for the flaw is due to Ayuta's feelings for his family and the Uncle Li in his mouth.

Zheng Zhiya couldn't say anything, the battle between the Heavenly Dao and the Fortune Diviner had always been a battle of blood. Any comfort is pale and powerless. Qin Feng also understood the same truth.

So, at this time, there was silence in the room for a while.

Ayuta and Qin Feng brought the dinner on the Doraemon tableware to the table.

The starter is a vegetable salad tossed with fruit vinaigrette, lined with lettuce and red peppers, topped with a few pieces of apple and tuna sauce.

The side dish is Burmese spring rolls, which are different from Chinese spring rolls, which are a cold dish that only needs to be fried with sliced avocado and mint leaves and rolled and wrapped in cold dough. It's very easy to do.

As for the main course, it is naturally the Malay chicken thigh curry. The chicken leg curry guards the rice carefully arranged in an oval shape by Ayuta like a crescent wall. White rice and red curry tickle people's appetites.

Finally, Ayuta even made dessert with caramel bananas. A quick dish that can be eaten with a banana dipped in sugar, slightly heated in a pan, and served with a few cashew nuts.

Zheng Zhiya pulled out a chair and sat down, Qin Feng sat next to him, and Ayuta sat opposite Qin Feng.

"I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good, Miss Ayuta."

"Uncle Zheng, you're smiling. Let's try it first, the curry in the South Seas is a bit spicy at the beginning and sweet at the end, I don't know if you will get used to it. ”

Zheng Zhiya gently took the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of chicken, because it was very badly cooked, so he gently tore it, and a piece of the chicken was removed along the texture.

Zheng Zhiya put the chicken in his mouth.

"Yes, that's good. It looks good, it tastes good, and if you have a chance, let Uncle Zheng give you Lulu's craftsmanship. ”

"Okay, it's a deal."

"Don't listen to him, actually, I have two nephews. The big one is much better at cooking than this old man. ”

Qin Feng accosted on the side.

"Mr. Qin, I see that you usually cook at home, it's all nonsense."

"Don't you see from my sword skills that I'm good?"

Ayutta smiled.

"The knife skills are good, but it's a pity that you can't tell the difference between sugar and salt, and you confuse pepper and cumin."

Qin Feng listened, picked up some salad with chopsticks and put it on his plate. Trying to divert one's attention and hide one's embarrassment through action.

"By the way, you just told me that you have a lot of connections with our Zheng family, so it's no surprise that it's because of Tianyanlu, right?"

"Well, I think Uncle Zheng should know that Tianyanlu was originally dug up by Mr. Liu Bowen and Mr. Liu in the Ming Dynasty and dedicated it to Zhu Yuanzhang, right?"

"I still know this allusion."

"You and I both know that this day's performance is a treasure that can reverse the fate of the world. As for how it turned the fortunes of the world, in fact, none of us knows. ”

"Actually, I don't know, but I can speculate. According to my speculation, this day's performance should be able to change people's karmic life. It was originally a beggar's life, but it could also be changed to the emperor's life by this day's performance. Beggars can be changed to the emperor's life, and the fortune of the world will naturally be rewritten. ”

Zheng Zhiya replied.

"Yes, Uncle Zheng, you must know that the ancestors of the Zheng family were given the surname by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and of course, Zhu Di was also known as Ming Chengzu later. At that time, four years after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di rebelled and seized Zhu Yunwen's throne before becoming the emperor. But when he entered the capital city of Nanjing, there was no trace of Zhu Yunwen in this city. ”

Zheng Zhiya nodded, motioning for Ayuta to continue.

"Not being able to find Zhu Yunwen is not a big deal for Zhu Di, who has already gained the general trend of the world, but there is a key point that makes it difficult for him to sleep."

Zheng Zhiya took it for her.

"Well, yes, Emperor Zhu Di of Ming Chengzu found that there was not only no Zhu Yunwen in this Nanjing city, but also no heavenly performance. If this Zhu Yunwen ran away with Tianyanlu, then he really completed the art of changing his life, and Zhu Di was afraid that it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not let his nephew raise troops and make a comeback to take his throne. ”

Well, so Zhu Di was afraid that Zhu Yunwen would really change his life and raise troops to overthrow him, so he simply moved the capital to Beiping, so if he really let Zhu Yunwen change his life. There are still thousands of miles of grassland in the north, and he has relied on the bow horse for many years, so he is naturally not afraid of him going north from the south. ”

Ayutta paused, then continued.

However, this alone was still not enough to fill the fear in Zhu Di's heart. After all, Zhu Di once swore in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and later he broke his oath, and his conscience was disturbed. He felt that he would be punished. Therefore, he vaguely felt that Zhu Yunwen could change his life successfully. In the past three years, the Jinyi guards have searched all over the land of China, but they still have not found any trace of Zhu Yunwen. ”

"I'll talk about it later, in 1405 AD, that is, the third year of Zhu Di's accession to the throne, he gave the surname Zheng He and ordered him to go to the West to find the whereabouts of Zhu Yunwen and Tianyanlu."

"Actually, the reason why he chose Zheng He is because he has been clean and has no children under his knees, and I believe that even if he gets a treasure like Tianyanlu, he will not change his life and want to be the emperor."

"It can't be said that although the ancestors of our Zheng family and Zheng He are adoptive father and son, Zheng He never forgot the mission given to him by Zhu Di before he died. That's why he wants to adopt a son to inherit his will. ”

"Actually, our family is the family of the diviner who was dragged by Liu Bowen to escort Zhu Yunwen to escape from Nanjing more than 500 years ago."

"No wonder you have to say that you have a lot of connections with my Zheng family."

Qin Feng and Zheng Zhiya were both shocked.

"Well, Zhu Yuanzhang knew early on that if Zhu Yunwen was kind-hearted and wanted him to be the emperor, it might be the blessing of all the people, if Zhu Di was made the emperor. I'm afraid that this Ming Dynasty will be a scene of hundreds of years of slaughter, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want this, he has been fighting all his life, and he hopes that the Ming Dynasty after his death is a Ming Dynasty where the people can live and work in peace and contentment. However, Liu Bowen told him that Zhu Yunwen's life was not suitable for being the emperor at all, unless he changed his life. ”

However, Zhu Yuanzhang in his later years was somewhat stubborn, and when Liu Bowen told him this, he regarded it as nonsense. However, Liu Bowen also felt that Zhu Yunwen was not suitable for his life, and he was also a suitable person for the emperor. For the sake of Li Min's life, he wanted to find the Heavenly Performance, so he found Zhuge Liang's tomb and found the Heavenly Performance. After handing it over to Zhu Yuanzhang, he retired to the mountains and forests. ”

Zheng Zhiya nodded.

"From the current point of view, if Zhu Yunwen is allowed to continue to be the emperor in history, perhaps the political atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty will be much more generous. Instead of hundreds of years of high-pressure power, everyone is at their own risk, and they are cautious in their words and deeds. ”

"I believe that Admiral Zheng and Admiral Zheng must have found some clues in Nanyang and returned to Zhu Di, which is why Zhu Di began to implement the sea ban. On the surface, Zhu Di was worried about rampant pirates, but in fact, Zhu Di was afraid of Zhu Yunwen's return to restoration. ”

"In other words, for hundreds of years, your family has been hiding the secrets of the Heavenly Evolution Record overseas. In other words, you're not a Thai? ”

"I'm from the Hmong ethnic group."

"How did the performance record end up in the hands of Heavenly Dao that day?"

"I guess when I say I'm the last person in the family, you should understand what's going on, right?"

"Yes."

Zheng Zhiya nodded.

The recounting of the past is over.

"By the way, does your name mean anything?"

"That's the meaning of plum blossoms, and I heard my mother say that plum blossoms bloom in the snow in China. It is also a wise man among the flowers who knows that spring comes early. ”

"One of my two sons is called Yuanli and the other is called Yuanjia, if you are willing to join us, how about your name Zheng Yuanmei in the future?"

Zheng Zhiya looked at Ayuta sincerely, and Ayuta hesitated for a long time.

The air was quiet for a long time.

No one in the room spoke.

No one made any moves.

Everyone is afraid of hurting anyone.

Zheng Yuanmei nodded.
