"Oh?" He Angelica picked up the rabbit to be slaughtered on the ground, and asked inducingly, "Where has King Ning become different?" Are his daily habits, words and deeds different from before? Has he become old-fashioned, more mature and deeper than before? ”

"Daily habits? Oh, you misunderstood me, I'm not saying that he is a different person, but that his attitude towards women is completely different than before. Chang Nuo saw that she took the little rabbit away, so he reached out to ask for it, and said with a smile, "This is food, if you want to play, I will catch it for you later, this one's leg was injured by a stone, and it won't live long, give it to me!" ”

He Angelica walked to the side of the cave with the rabbit in his arms, and snorted coldly: "If your leg is injured, you won't live long?" It's really a ruthless human opinion, and it's clearly saying, I'm still saved, save me. Have mercy on him, you have killed his companion and a pheasant, and you want to get more blood on your hands? ”

Chang Nuo was angry and funny when he heard it, and glared: "Miss, the person who shouted that he was hungry just now was you, I 'killed' this chicken and rabbit for you, what does it mean to be ruthless?" Don't you ever eat meat? ”

He Angelica was speechless, but as a woman, she always had the right to defend herself unreasonably, so she said: "What I just asked for is food, and I didn't say that I want to eat meat, won't you dig some bamboo shoots and roast them for me to eat?" She rummaged through the white robe on the ground, found the brocade box containing the medicine bottle, washed the wound in the palm of her hand with the water in the bamboo tube, sprinkled a layer of white medicine, and tore off some of the clean parts of the white robe to bandage the wound, and after wrapping her hands, she tore off more cloth to bandage the rabbit's leg wound.

Chang Nuo couldn't see it, and pleaded for the robe: "Don't tear the placket, otherwise how will I wear it out to meet people in a while?" When it gets dawn, I'm going to wear this dress to see your old lady, don't let her mistake me for a new member of the beggar gang. As he spoke, he washed the prepared hares and pheasants with water, smeared them with some kind of crumpled blades of grass, and then set them on a bamboo pole and laid them on the fire.

He Angelica said strangely: "What are you doing in such a hurry to see the old lady?" Feng Yang dressed as Bai Yangbai just appeared tonight, you are so close to show up again, don't let us get helped. ”

"Well, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat after telling you, so I'll tell you when I'm done." Chang Nuo turned the turquoise bamboo poles, the fat and tender rabbit meat and chicken, roasted on the fire to be fragrant and crispy, and the aroma was overflowing for a while, and the fat was sizzling.

He Angelica suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten dinner yet, and she wanted to eat several times during the poetry meeting in the afternoon, and Qing'er said that there was a party in Yihong Courtyard in the evening, so she kept her stomach and ate it at night. Before she knew it, she had stayed until now, and "coo-coo-" was the stomach protesting against her.

Chang Nuo teased her: "Sister He, you want to eat bamboo shoots, right!" Why don't I help you share your worries, solve these barbecues, and then start a new stove to roast bamboo shoots for you? ”

He Angelica said with a cold face: "Don't worry about it, I'll go home and have supper to eat later, my girl's cooking is fine, and she can rest assured that she eats, like Feng Daxia, you have such a rough way to eat, I'm afraid that I will have a stomach when I turn around." "A dignified hero, and he also uses words to squeeze a little woman, it's really stomachless. What is he looking for the old lady? Let her not eat after listening to it?

Chang Nuo turned the bamboo pole of the barbecue and asked her: "Sister He, why are you so close to Dao Sheng, how can you, a deep lady, know such a big man as him?" "Moreover, when she mistakenly thought that he was a Dao Sage, her attitude towards him could really be described as arrogant, how could she have such a friendship with the Dao Sage?

He Angelica blinked his eyes and said slowly: "When it comes to my relationship with Bai Yangbai, I have to talk about the transaction I talked to you about before, the thing is like this, little woman, I know a little about celestial phenomena and hydrology, and I can predict the rapidity of the water in the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in the coming year, and its accuracy will definitely amaze you." Feng Gongzi, you can not believe me, but you must believe in the words of the Dao Sheng, right? To tell the truth, just because of my talent for hydrology and meteorology, the Taoist saint was also impressed, so he specially worshipped me as a teacher and asked me about the weather and hydrology conditions of major rivers. ”

Chang Nuo didn't believe it: "You said that the saint worships you as a teacher? Girl, you must not say such things again in the future, otherwise you will anger the Dao Sheng and his followers, and you will be dragged to the streets. ”

He Angelica said to himself: "Your Cao Gang is engaged in water business, although you are full of talents and your business is also booming, but as far as I know, your shipping fleet has at least four minor accidents and one major sinking water disaster every year, and the annual loss is more than 50,000 taels of silver. It's okay to lose the silver, but the elite sailors of the Cao Gang that you have worked so hard to recruit and train are more than ten people who die in the water every year, which is the tragedy brought about by the ruthlessness of nature. My idea is this: if you give me 20% of the 50,000 taels of silver that you lose every year, that is, 10,000 taels, I will provide you with hydrological information on each waterway, and tell you which waterway is impassable on which day, and which waterway is absolutely dead, and no ship can be allowed to sail, how about it? ”

Chang Nuo silently listened to her toad yawning, so big breath, and at the same time flipped the roast chicken in his hand, and saw that a fat wing had been roasted to golden brown, he took out the saber on the side, cut off the chicken wing and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "Let's talk while eating, take a sip of water first, aren't you shouting that you are thirsty?" Inside the bamboo tube is clean water. ”

He Angelica thanked him and took the chicken wings, looked at the water in the bamboo tube, frowned, and said: "This is raw water, I can't drink raw water, it's uncomfortable." ”

Chang Nuo thought about it for a while, then grabbed the bamboo tube with one hand, straightened his arm and raised it for a moment, and his eyes were also focused on the bamboo tube, which was quite a bit affectionate. Just when He Dang summed up what he was doing, the bamboo tube in his hand actually rose up a white mist, He Angelica was not trivial, and when he walked up to take a look, he found that the bamboo tube in his palm had changed from turquoise to dark yellow, and the cold water in it had also become hot water with small bubbles.

Chang Nuo handed her the bamboo tube and instructed, "Be careful of the burn, you wrap it in your sleeve and grab it." ”

He Angelica took the bamboo tube according to his words, and sure enough, as he said, he still felt a little hot through a layer of sleeves, and she was very puzzled: "What kind of kung fu is this, and there is no trace of sparks and flashes, why did the cold water suddenly turn into boiling water, it was like a trick." ”

"It's just a small skill of carving insects," Chang Nuo sneered, "How can you have a sister, your ability is magical, you can pinch and calculate, and you can know which day the wind blows and which day the boat capsizes, you are even more clever than the Dao Sage." ”

He Angelica automatically filtered the ridicule in his words, nodded and said: "Yes, it's not me boasting, when it comes to predicting the details of our Ming Dynasty's waterways, I am three points smarter than ten Bai Yangbai tied up, your Cao Gang mainly takes the Grand Canal, but the Grand Canal has a history of hundreds of years since the Sui Dynasty was built, and many sections of the river have fallen into disrepair." Especially during the dry season, it is common for ships to run aground and sink. She blew the water in the bamboo tube, took a sip, took another bite of the chicken wings, and praised as she ate, "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good, it's really unseemly." ”

Chang Nuo laughed and said: "People can't be good-looking? Does my face look like I can't cook? ”

He Angelica nibbled on the crispy chicken wings, stared at his face for a long time, and then came out: "You have a baby face, as if you have been this face since you were a child, and you will still have this baby face in your future forty or fifty years old, not old at all, but your eyes are gradually getting older, compared to the eyes three years ago, your eyes now give people a cold and ruthless impression, and they are more and more similar to your 'good friend'." ”

Chang Nuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he had a sense of panic that the deepest secret had been dug up, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "You said that you can predict where there will be a water disaster, so why don't you predict a water disaster that will happen recently." ”

He Angelica shook his head: "Feng Gongzi, you are wrong, I can only predict when and where the waterway is not suitable for boating, and I can't say for sure that there will be a shipwreck, otherwise I wouldn't do such a deal-if I can really predict that step, instead of selling the information to you, it is better to go to the place of the incident to stop the 'shipwrecked' from sailing, and save people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter." ”

Chang Nuo bowed his head slightly, and said like a stream: "Then, you can tell me, which river is not suitable for boating recently?" As he spoke, he handed her a roasted rabbit leg.

He Angelica thanked him, thought for a while and said: "According to my night observation of the sky, the recent hydrological situation of the canal in a section of Yinma Town outside the capital is complicated, and the underwater silt deposit, coupled with the strong northwest wind in midwinter, forms a large whirlpool underwater, which is the most dangerous section of the channel. This time the information is provided to you for free, and the next time it is revealed, you will be charged money. ”

"Cashier?" Chang Nuo naturally didn't believe her prediction, and just questioned, "If what I remember is correct, what you said before was that you wanted to provide us with three years of waterway situation information 'for free' in exchange for your peaceful life?" ”

He Angelica nodded and said, "Yes, are you willing to change?" Can you come up with an idea on behalf of King Ning? I'm happy to exchange it at any time. ”

Chang Nuo flipped the barbecue and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I can't make up my mind about this deal, Xiao Yuan, he cherishes you so much, he refuses to wronged you at all, and he will definitely find the best identity for you before marrying you into the palace, so I guess, no matter whether your information is true or not, he will never agree to it, girl, do you know?" He plans to let you take the place of Princess Ningguo's youngest daughter, marry into the palace as a princess, and make a two-headed relationship with Xie Qiaofeng. ”

He Angelica's eyes widened in astonishment: "Princess Ningguo? Isn't that his second imperial sister? Isn't Princess Ningguo's youngest daughter his niece? Uncle marries niece, he also does this kind of corrupt moral code! ”

Chang Nuo was annoyed by her snarky evaluation and indifferent reaction, the princess's daughter, what a rare identity! Although it has not yet been done, he still can't help but say it for a while, so that He Angelica can be grateful and understand the prince's heart for her, but she didn't expect her first reaction to think that this identity is too close to the prince's kinship!

Chang Nuo said angrily: "This is just an identity for outsiders to see, you are not his niece, it is not incest, and the matter of kissing has existed since ancient times, the story of his uncle marrying his niece, you can pull out seven or eight pieces casually, don't you remember that Emperor Han Hui married his niece Zhang Yan?" Having said that, aren't you happy that the prince bothered you so much? ”

Afraid that she didn't know how valuable this identity was, he explained to her in detail: "The queen mother of Princess Ningguo is Empress Xiaoci Gao, and she is one level higher than the prince from her biological mother, and Princess Hongwu married Mei Yin, the second son of Marquis Mei Sizu of Runan, and Mei Yin, the chief military officer of Huai'an, and gave birth to three daughters. The eldest daughter, the county lord of Huaiyang, was nineteen years old and had been married for three years, and the second daughter died before she could be titled. The princess also has a youngest daughter, Shaochan, the county lord, whose name is Mei Yuchan, who is fifteen years old, because of a little accident, she is currently missing. And the prince is actively negotiating with Princess Ningguo to help her solve some troubles, and Princess Ningguo will let you take the name of the county lord of Shaochan and marry the prince on behalf of the county lord. ”
