Noah smiled: "I didn't think it was possible before, but as long as my suspicions are true, then everything can be made possible." ”

Baili Jiu pondered for a long time, and said suspiciously: "Take advantage of our trust, so we set up a maze, abandon the car to protect the handsome, and hide from the world?" ”

Noah nodded heavily.

Bailijiu lowered his head and began to write and paint, combing through a few doubts, and had a plan in his heart: "Handan City to the north, past Baoding Mansion, is the capital, so many weapons, all the way to swagger, too dangerous; If it was to the south, we were under martial law in the entire Henan County in order to arrest the pavilion master, and the wind was tight, and they couldn't pass through Henan County, so it is very likely that the weapons did not have time to be transferred. It's just that the entire Taihang Mountains stretch endlessly, where can we find it? ”

"If it's too hidden and we don't have any clues, we might as well go and investigate it openly. It's like catching grasshoppers, it hides in the middle of the grass, the same color as its surroundings, and it is easy to find, but once it is frightened and flies, it will naturally reveal its whereabouts. ”

Baili Jiu stared at Nuoya intently for a long time: "Madam, you are so cunning, I am afraid that you will not even be able to hide a private house for your husband in the future." ”

Noah smiled threateningly: "I have long had the idea of confiscating all your private money, lest you spend all your money and find someone to spend it for you." ”

Bailijiu moved a stone and hit his own foot, and hurriedly argued: "Isn't the page of Jinniang already turned over?" ”

Noah's heart couldn't help but move: "Shall we take Jinniang over?" ”

"Good idea." Bailijiu did not hesitate and answered crisply.

Noya stretched out her finger and poked at Baili Jiu's heart: "I just wanted to test your mind, but I didn't expect you to deserve it so simply." Is it unforgettable? Yes? ”

Baili Jiu said with a sad face: "Madam, Jin Niang is a man now." ”

"Oh, I forgot." Noah is downplaying, not embarrassed at all.

"Forgot? Madame is always thinking about taking her to Handan City, do you have any ideas? Bailijiu stared at her against the army, his eyes full of danger.

"I just want to use Jin Niang's skills at a critical time."

Baili Jiu shook his head: "Hypnosis can only be used against people who are weaker than their own internal strength, and their willpower is not strong enough to be confused, otherwise, it will be easy to be counterattacked." When Jin Niang hypnotized you for the first time, although you had no internal strength, you relied on your own willpower to cause a backlash against Jin Niang, and she raised it for several days before she recovered. ”

"Then why was I so easily hypnotized by her the second time?" Noah asked curiously.

"The second time is not so much Jinniang hypnotizing you, but rather that you are automatically hypnotized. At that time, you were conflicted in your heart, and you hated to escape reality, so naturally it was easy for her. ”

Noah squinted her eyes malicefully: "Then when you were in the same room with her, when you were beautiful and spring, were you hypnotized?" ”

Baili Jiu coughed lightly unnaturally: "Ahem, lady, you have taken the topic a little far, we are talking about serious things, serious things, serious things!" ”

"Okay," Noah said, "I'll tell you the same serious thing, we seem to have forgotten the secret decree given to us by the emperor, and he explained that it was opened after you and I came to Handan City." ”

Only then did Baili Jiu remember, took out the secret decree from his arms, and carefully opened it, and there were only a few words on it: "Investigate the whereabouts of the weapon." ”

It turned out that the emperor had long been suspicious of this matter, and put aside the three princes and others, and only secretly handed over the matter to the two of them. The stakes are very high, and the emperor must be cautious, maybe, in his heart, the three princes and others have long been unable to believe it.

After breakfast on the second day, Master Tian continued to direct the craftsmen to be busy with some trivial finishing matters, and several people entered the city together, explained all the things agreed on yesterday, and began to prepare.

Yuan Bao was responsible for the invitation, and arranged for people to send them to the prefectures quickly. Guan Luo was in charge of purchasing, while Nuoya and Baili Jiu were personally busy with the booking of restaurants and inns.

When the two shopkeepers heard that it was Murong Villa doing big things, they naturally gave a lot of face, and they did their best to do everything they could.

After the matter was done, it was not yet noon, and the two decided to go to Old Man Xue for a meal, and by the way, they discussed with him to take him into Beijing after some time to enjoy Qingfu. If you really can't be idle, you will hand over the natural residence and the back kitchen of Hongbin Building to him to take care of.

When the two of them rode to Old Man Xue's residence, Old Man Xue was eating lunch alone and tastelessly, and he didn't eat two bites of the food in front of him.

Seeing the two of them coming from a distance, he immediately jumped up excitedly, complaining that the two of them came too late, did not say hello in advance, and did not have any decent food at home.

Noah laughed proudly as she shook the donkey sausage, the crispy fish, and the wine jar she was carrying.

Baili Jiu was very fond of the old man's thoughts, and the two sat on the ground under the shade of the tree, put the dishes on the ground, and each person had a bowl, and began to blow all over the world and drink at the same time.

The weather was a little hot, and Old Man Xue was willing to take out the imperial fan to give it to Baili Jiufeng, Nuoya covered his mouth and smiled, and asked Old Man Xue: "I forgot to ask you last time, what did Huang Dexing do with all his efforts to grab your imperial fan, and exchange it for money?" He didn't look like the one who lacked that little bit of silver. ”

The old man was bored with half a bowl of wine, and he didn't know if it was because of the drinking, or because it was hot, the old man's face was flushed: "At the beginning, Huang Dexing came to me twice, originally to persuade me to recommend me to the palace as the imperial chef, I naturally would not agree, and then he retreated and asked me to accept someone as an apprentice." I've seen that person a few times, and it's obvious that he's in the same league with him, and he's a bad man, so I've rejected him. ”

Nuoya felt a little proud in her heart: "When your apprentice is quite sought-after, it seems that I listened to my cook's words back then, and it was the right time to participate in the Jade Ding Festival, and I picked up a big bargain for nothing." My chef can be said to be clever! ”

"Clever calculation?"

Noya eyebrows and eyes crooked, and said complacently: "I have followed my chef to learn to cook since I was a child, she said that the best Sichuan cuisine in the world is the strange chef Xue of Handan City, if I want to learn, I will show my hand at the Jade Ding Festival, you love you like thirst, you will definitely fall in love with me." ”

Old man Xue almost squirted out a sip of wine: "It turns out that you deliberately came to me to lure me into the bait, and you still wanted to get away with it, so you tricked me into two strings of sugar gourds and a pack of broad beans, so I reluctantly agreed." It's okay if you don't have a bowing ceremony, and you don't have a proper head to kowtow. ”

Noah grinned: "They all said that you have a strange temper that doesn't leave and rushes backwards, so I naturally have to change my approach." Come to think of it, I was so far-sighted that I got my seat in advance. ”

Baili Jiu smiled dotingly, turned his head and asked Old Man Xue suspiciously: "Then why does Huang Dexing have to let you accept apprentices?" Could it be that you have any craftsmanship in the picture? ”

Old man Xue only brightened the sun on his face when he was facing Baili Jiu: "Huang Dexing said that as long as I promise to accept that person as an apprentice and teach me a few skilled crafts, he will give me two thousand taels of silver, and I will be guaranteed to eat and drink without worry for the rest of my life." ”

"What is the identity of that person, and is there a close relationship with Huang Dexing?" Baili Jiu asked.

Old man Xue wiped his mouth and said casually: "That person was originally a chef, and his skills are not bad, who knows how he hooked up with Huang Dexing later?" I heard that he was still arguing every day a while ago, saying that there were people in the capital who were going to the capital to be the imperial chef and show off his power in the township. Later, as soon as Huang Dexing died, he died down, eating fried noodles like an old lady, and his mouth was stuffy. ”

Bailijiu and Noah glanced at each other, and they all tacitly continued to drink.

That Huang Dexing dared to release such arrogant words, which shows that the people behind him are not only powerful in the DPRK and China, but also have their own people in the palace. He clearly wanted to use Master Xue's name to send this person into the palace, as for what the purpose was, it was self-evident that he would definitely plot against him.

A small Handan city, the wind and clouds will meet, and the world can be seen.

Later, Bailijiu took the initiative to inform Old Man Xue of Nuoya's plan, and Old Man Xue was very willing to sell Bailijiu's face, and he was very happy, he was just a foreigner, and Handan City had no relatives and no reason, and as soon as he locked the door, he could pat his ass and leave. He is willing to go to the capital to play around, and if he is not comfortable, he will come back.

The two said goodbye to Old Man Xue, and after gathering with Yuanbao and Guanluo, they went directly back to Murong Villa.

Early in the morning of the second day, Noya and Bailijiu stumbled for some reason, Noah snorted angrily, ignored him for a breakfast, and shook his face to Bailijiu from time to time, his face sank like water.

Baili Jiu only smiled helplessly, shrugged his shoulders helplessly. Yuan Bao is the best at observing words and feelings, bowing his head and drinking porridge, not daring to say more. There was some depression at the dinner table.

After Guan Luo finished eating in three or two bites, wiped his mouth, and was about to continue to be busy in the tomb, he was stopped by Noah: "Guan Luo, you wait a while." ”

Guan Luo stood still: "What's the matter, sister?" ”

"There is action today."

As soon as he heard this, he came to his senses, and his eyes widened: "What action?" ”

As soon as Yuan Bao heard Nuoya speak, he immediately dropped the rice bowl in his hand and came over: "What's the good thing?" I can't do without me. ”

Noya glanced at him: "Let you go, you also have to use it." ”

lost face in front of Guan Luo, and Yuan Bao was extremely unconvinced: "Why do you look down on people? No matter how bad I am, I can't compare to him as a stealer? ”

Stealing chickens and dogs is the definition given by Yuan Bao to Guan Luo, since he heard that the so-called Tianji Old Man in Noya's mouth was a thief, he has become even more disdainful of Yuan Bao, and often sneered.

Guan Luo was also young and vigorous, and immediately retorted coldly: "At best, you are just a slippery wall, listening to the cracks in the wall, listening to the east family, and the west family, it is not a big deal." ”
