169 The Last Supper
The secret agent lurking in Ji Guo will have at least half a month to send the results, and when Yue Cheng went to Ji Guo last time, he also instructed the secret agent to collect as much information as possible about the main merchants in Ji Guo, among which the Shen family, as the richest man and the support of the official family, is naturally the primary target.
It's just that the Shen family because the founder Shen Haoyun was once recognized as the number one master in the martial arts, in addition to the identity of the businessman, the Shen family has too many unclear relationships with the martial arts, and there is even a killer secret guard organization under it, and the masters inside are like clouds, Shen Haoyun and Shen Jian rarely 'show' their faces in public, and their whereabouts are mysterious.
Yue Wei didn't care much about business, but because after sneaking into Ji Guo, he found that the market was prosperous and the people were rich, far beyond his imagination, and he remembered that he had seen the Shen family's business in Yunchuan last time, so he paid attention to this.
But fortunately, if he had started to pay attention to the Shen family earlier, or if Ji Jianshen and Emperor Chengtian had not been so low-key before they publicly recognized each other, I am afraid that at this moment he would have guessed that the big boss of the Shen family was actually Ji Jianshen, and Xuanji's situation would be even more dangerous.
Xuanji went to sleep directly at noon, Yue Yi knew her habits, and there were frequent accidents in the team, so he didn't pay attention to her for a while.
At dusk, when he arrived at a town at the scheduled time, the local officials had already arranged to requisition the manor of a wealthy local merchant as the emperor's temporary residence.
Yue Wei led the ministers into the manor, and the five thousand soldiers set up camp on the edge of the manor, rest for a night, and set off tomorrow.
Here is not far from the Chisheng Mountain, set off early tomorrow morning, you can arrive at about noon, the Red Shengshan is surrounded by dense forests, the altar on the top of the mountain has been abandoned for many years, because the people often 'get lost' and even disappear when they enter the mountain, so the mountain is even more inaccessible. Fu Yang sent people to contact the people who had been sent into the mountain two days earlier to prepare for worship in advance.
Xuanji was woken up by Mama Rong. I heard that I was going to live in the manor, and I felt a lot more at ease. She lives next to Yue Wei and lives in the same courtyard. Although he is still begging for a life under Yue Yi's nose, he doesn't have to have sex with him, and the situation is much better than expected.
The dinner was very rich, and Xuanji ate attentively, trying to treat Yue Yi at the same table as an invisible person.
Eat more to have the strength to escape, there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and the palace is forbidden. It is extremely difficult to save people, if the Great Demon King comes to save her, it must be this rare opportunity to leave the palace!
Yue Yi's eyes looked at her more and more weirdly. Suddenly, he said, "Is the food so delicious?" ”
Xuanji nodded, filling her mouth with something, just in time to answer without opening her mouth.
"I've not known what a taste is for years."
Xuanji blinked, and said in her heart: Can you still be tired like this as an emperor? I don't know what to eat?! You must let the Great Demon King pay attention, otherwise you won't even be able to eat the taste, and how much fun you will lose in life.
"Five years ago, my queen mother handed me a cup of poisoned tea, and I knew it was a fraud but had to drink it. I put the tea in my mouth until I left the place where the queen mother did, and from then on. I can no longer taste what food tastes like. ”
Xuanji choked on a mouthful of rice, threw down the rice bowl and coughed wildly. Does this guy have to talk about such a horrible topic during dinner?
Mama Rong, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly came up to help her with good luck, and sent water and handkerchiefs.
After Xuanji eased up, he looked at Yue Yi and said: "It's all in the past, I can't change it when I keep in mind, I can't taste it in my mouth, I can still smell it in my nose, while smelling it, I remember what kind of taste it should be in my mouth?" Ay...... It's a pity that you are the emperor. Otherwise, your wife will be blessed. ”
Yue Wei said strangely: "I am not the emperor. What does it have to do with whether my wife is blessed or not? ”
Xuanji smiled and said, "If you are not the emperor." is an ordinary person, then your wife can't taste it even if the food is not delicious, and you can't be picky, don't worry about making things that don't suit your taste and be picky and disliked, isn't it blessed? Well, now it's your royal chef in good fortune. ”
Yue was exposed to the sun, and the nightmare that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart reached the mouth of this 'woman', and it seemed that it had become less serious.
But it's true that since I can't taste in my mouth anymore, my sense of smell has become more and more sensitive, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation. For familiar people, they can even be distinguished by taste, such as the 'woman' in front of him who lowered her head to concentrate on eating.
Stretched out the chopsticks and took a piece of mutton 'meat' to the mouth, smelled the strong 'meat' fragrance in the nose, chewed twice, felt that the 'meat' stewed extremely tender, the 'meat' fragrance was still in the nose, it seemed that the piece of 'meat' that should not be tasted has become tasteful, it is the salty and sweet taste of the 'mix' with 'flower' pepper star anise and other condiments in memory.
Sandwiched a piece of winter melon again, this time not only has the fragrance of winter melon, but also the umami of fresh shellfish, it should be made of seafood stewed soup, eat it in the mouth and melt in the mouth, the melon 'meat' 'mixed' with the soup slid through the throat, Yue Yi seemed to taste the fresh and sweet taste that had not been seen for a long time again.
After a meal, Yue Yi rarely ate twice as many meals as before, more than a dozen dishes on the table, almost everything was tried once or even several times, and the princes, Li Gonggong and Rong Mama who were waiting on the side were surprised, and they were even more happy and convinced by Xuanji.
Everyone felt in their hearts that this queen was really looking for the right one.
When the meal was almost finished, there was a flash of electricity outside the window, followed by thunder, a cold wind blew, and a torrential rain fell.
Yue Wei frowned, such a heavy rain, if it doesn't stop tomorrow, or if the road is washed away, it will be extremely troublesome.
At this time, Fu Yang asked to see him, and Xuanji took the opportunity to sneak back to the room, but was stopped by Yue Yi waving his hand, so he had to sit in place unwillingly.
Fu Yang came in and saluted the two, got up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen just asked the local officials, and they all said that this rain will come and go quickly, and it should be okay, please rest assured." ”
Xuanji was very depressed when she heard this, and she thought that God would be beautiful, let them delay on the road for a few more days, and the people who came to save her would have more chances, but she didn't expect that this rain was just a thundershower, which was really boring.
I heard Fu Yang tell me a bunch of arrangements for going on the road tomorrow, and I thought to myself: There are also capable people around this big pervert, and the boss knows what the boss wants to ask before he opens his mouth, things are thoughtful and comprehensive, and he can adapt to changes, I really can't underestimate this pervert.
Xuanji secretly looked at Fu Yang, he seemed to be in his thirties, the whole person looked like a javelin, capable and resolute, with thick bones, a loud voice, two eyes of 'fine' and four 'shot', a typical look of a master, if he wants to escape, it is best to stay away from this person, the probability of success will be relatively high.
Today's first update, the plus watch will come out later, but I'm afraid it's too late, everyone should go to bed first, and get up tomorrow to watch.
One person, one bite!
'Touch' 'touch' the children who work during the day, you must never read this instruction.
