Chapter Twenty-Six: Fire in Paper
"Master, do you think that if I continue like this, will I become a sheep?" An leisurely chewed the fruit in his mouth, and muttered, "I've been a vegetarian for three days, and if I continue like this, I can't even remember what the meat looks like." ”
"Just look at it in the water." Shizi leaned against the trunk of the tree and said with a teasing face.
"I'm talking about edible meat!" An Youran glanced at Shizi with a very unshaven look, "Do you think I can eat it!?" ”
"Tigers and wild wolves are not picky eaters, you are not bad......" Shizi looked at An Youran with his eyes, "Although it is a little thinner, it can barely make up for a meal!" ”
From the moment An leisurely said that Shizi was gay, his nightmare officially began. In the past few days, Shizi's mood always seems to be in a bad state, and it is okay to ignore him and show his face, and even often ridicule him.
"......" An leisurely glared at Shizi angrily, but his mind changed his attitude again, "Master, the slave said that you are kind and sympathetic to your subordinates, and you can see that the slave has lost weight!" ”
"Getting to the point!" The son of the world is bright-eyed and unmoved.
"Well...... "An Youran's face was full of smiles, five points of flattery, three points of flattery, and two points of doglegs." You see that we have been monks for a few days, can you ask your old man to use your superb martial arts skills to catch a few wild animals and improve the food? ”
"Do you want to die?" Shizi snorted coldly, "I just got snake venom, and now I want to eat meat?" ”
"It's been three days," An ran to him leisurely and exaggerated the word 'three' with his hand, "It's been long enough!" ”
"Three days? It will take at least a month for your wound to heal! Shizi's beautiful eyes were lightly raised, with a playful expression, "Don't get meat until the injury is healed." ”
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, An Youran's originally smiling face was immediately pulled into a bitter gourd face, "Master, isn't this the life of a slave!?" Life without meat is worse than death! ”
"It's none of my business, you have to eat and figure it out yourself." Pretending not to see An Youran, who was grimacing at him with his teeth and claws, he raised his hand and said, "Let's go, go to the old place and see if anyone comes!" ”
It's been four days since they fell, and I thought that someone would come to save the son the next day. Who knew that there was no movement until today. So every day they would go to the place where they fell to see if anyone was looking for them. However, because the place was too close to the snake cave they had strayed into, they did not dare to stay too long, and only chose to try their luck in the early morning of each day.
"No one has come ......yet," An said with some deflatedness, "Master, do you think they don't want us." ”
"What do you think?" Shizi glanced at him, too lazy to continue with the idiot's question.
"Probably not...... An looked at him leisurely, and said in a comforting tone: "Although your temper is a little worse, your personality is a little weird, and it is difficult to serve, but you are also a son of the world, everyone should not want you, don't be too sad!" ”
A cold light flickered in Shizi's amber eyes, "Do you want to be slapped to death by me now, or do you want to let Laifu clean you up when you go back?" ”
"The master is angry, the slave is stupid and says the wrong thing, you have a lot of knowledge like me." In view of the two choices that the prince said, the end is really not very good, An Youran decided to choose the third bright road: the one who knows the times is Junjie!
Shizi glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and didn't pay attention, just looked at the corpses of the two horses that fell at the same time as them with a serious expression.
Compared with the horse that the prince had ridden before, it was clear that the death of the horse they had ridden was much more tragic. At that time, due to An Youran's self-skill, he tied his hands and feet to the harness, so the prince could only use the short gap in the fall to cut the rope to save people. Because it took a long time and missed the best opportunity to climb the wall halfway, the prince could only desperately put the horse at the bottom and increase the cushioning force when he fell to escape.
An Youran also looked at the carcass of the horse, and suddenly had an idea, and asked, "Master, can you eat this horse meat?" ”
"Haven't you learned to be good yet?" Shizi frowned slightly, "How long has this horse been dead!?" The corpse has decomposed and deteriorated early, do you want to make trouble for me after eating it? ”
"Oh," An Youran pursed her lips with some regret, "It's a waste, the slave thinks that the horse that Master Liu gave you is usually carefully tended, and the meat quality should be good." ”
Shizi glanced at An Youran with the eyes of 'rotten wood cannot be carved', "This horse is indeed a pity, but it's not that you can't eat it, but this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime horse!" ”
"Good what!?" An said leisurely, "This horse's eight characters are too bad, that bird doesn't attack any horse, but it just found the right way to attack it!" A little too bad luck! ”
"That's what I've always been weird about!" Shizi's bright eyes looked directly at An Youran, "Why do you have your own dagger stuck in your mount?" ”
An leisurely 'groan' in her heart, she was too brainless, and she would lead to this topic by killing herself! Su Chen can't be involved until the matter is clear, so he must not tell the truth!
Pretending to be proud, "This is the 'secret weapon' I came up with!" Isn't it all about winning!? At that time, I thought that if I could find a way to make the horse run faster, I used this method of the sword going sideways. It's a bit cruel, but it's really good! ”
"You have always been greedy for life and afraid of death, although you love money as much as life, but I still don't believe that you will be stupid enough to ask for money and not die!" Shizi approached An Youran, his burning gaze seemed to see through him, "Tell the truth! Do you know that something is going on, so you rush so desperately? ”
was exposed by the prince, An Youran was already wailing in his heart, but he refused to admit it. He laughed and said, "Master, I didn't expect that the slave was still a self-sacrificing hero in your mind!" I really didn't expect to be able to get such a high evaluation from you, master. Next time, if you have the opportunity, the slave will strive to live up to your expectations and be a selfless and good person! This time it was so good that you said, no matter how thick-skinned the slave is, he doesn't have the face to bear it, right? So I can only tell the truth, the small one is really trying to win the victory, so he made this risky move. ”
Shizi didn't answer when he heard this, he just stared at An Youran silently, and after a long time, he said slowly: "If you insist, I don't have to say more." ”
An leisurely understood the meaning of Shizi's words, but pretended not to understand, and replied with a smile, "The slave follows the master, and he is naturally an honest person who does his duty as you want." ”
accidentally saw the harness of the horse given by Liu Kun shining in the sun, he diverted the topic and shouted excitedly: "Master, do you still want the harness given by Liu Hou?" What if you don't give it to a small line? The minion looks at this harness as if it is quite valuable, and it can be exchanged for two small coins to spend. ”
Shizi shook his head, not knowing whether it was helplessness or something else, he turned to the side and said, "Whatever, if you take it, just take it." ”
As soon as An Youran heard the great joy, she unceremoniously began to remove the harness from the horse's body.
Sure enough, his eyesight is excellent, Liu Kun is really extravagant, all the harness is made of gold and silver, even if it is melted directly, it is estimated that ordinary people can eat it for several years, not to mention that these harnesses are exquisite in workmanship and fine in pattern, and they must be expensive in the market.
"Huh? What is it? Ann leisurely poked the ornament on the horse cage cover in surprise.
An Youran's exclamation aroused the idea of the prince, he walked a few steps and turned back, looked at the things in An Youran's hand, he was also taken aback, "This is made of a very small mercury mirror!" ”
Mercury mirror!? An Youran shouted in his heart, he didn't expect that there were mirrors here in ancient times, but looking at Shizi's expression, things didn't seem to be so simple, so he asked cautiously, "Is there very little of this thing?" I think the royal palace only uses bronze mirrors. ”
"Yes, the mercury mirror is only produced in Lingbei, but that country is very peculiar, and foreigners are forbidden to enter and their own nationals are not allowed to leave the country, so I have only seen this thing in the palace, and it is said to be a congratulatory gift from Emperor Lingbei." Shizi touched the mirror on Pang's set, "A mercury mirror like this with such exquisite workmanship is definitely not owned by ordinary people. ”
"Of course not the average person!" An leisurely said casually: "Hou Ye Liu is really showy enough, others regard it as a treasure, but he takes it to the horse!" It's not a horse idiot, it's an idiot. ”
"That's not right," Shizi categorically vetoed An Youran's statement, "This can't be done by Marquis Liu!" The mercury mirror has always been a treasure that is not passed down in Lingbei, and it is also a gift to the palaces of various countries, so it is impossible for outsiders to have it! ”
An leisurely blinked, very dissatisfied with the prince's denial of his judgment, he asked unconvinced: "Isn't that still a reward from the emperor?" What if this was given to Liu Hou by the emperor? ”
Shizi glanced at An Youran with disdain, and replied, "Then it's even more impossible!" The treasures given by the emperor are not kept at home to burn incense and pay tribute, but are used to decorate horses, which is a great disrespectful sin! He Liu Kun has a few heads that are not enough to cut off! ”
"That'...... How did this come about? An leisurely heart suddenly surged with an ominous premonition.
Shizi pondered for a while, and replied with bright eyes, "Someone wants to kill Liu Kun!" Originally, I was just guessing, but I was never sure. I didn't understand how to control the bird's attack, but now I do! Raising the horse cage in his hand, "This mercury mirror is what they put on purpose!" The mirror can reflect strong light in the sun, and the sun is fierce on the day of the race, so the bird can easily find the target in the sky! ”
An Youran suddenly recalled the scene when the prince asked him to clean the horses on the eve of the horse race: the rude man in the stable who hit someone but didn't even apologize...... The back that seems familiar but can't remember anything......
It's him! If Su Chen hadn't stopped him, the man in black who would have sent him to see Hades! An was startled in a cold sweat: Could it be ...... Did Su Chen really do it? They wanted to use their mounts to get rid of Liu Kun at the horse race, but they accidentally let Shizi ride the horse that had been manipulated......
"Bajie," Shizi's elegant voice pulled back An Ran's senses, "It's time to go!" ”
"Master" An leisurely looked at the harness that had not yet been packed up, "The slave has not finished unloading, can you wait?" ”
"It doesn't matter," Shizi turned and left, "if you think the harness will be full, just stay here and continue, and I'll go find food myself." ”
"Eat!?" An Youran heard the spirit, threw the things in his hand, and secretly buckled the small mercury mirror and held it in the palm of his hand, "Wait for me, I'll go too!" ”
Running in front of the prince, his face was bright, "Master, I want to eat meat!" ”
