Chapter 18: Duplicity
"Uncle, are you telling the truth?" When Beigong Han heard the word "uncle", he twitched the corners of his mouth: Xiaowan is his sister, why has he grown up a generation here, does he look so old......
"Well, of course. Wu'er, from today onwards, we are your family. In the future, no matter what questions you have, you can find us, this uncle is very gentle, if you want to learn martial arts, you can find him. Shen Wan smiled and rubbed his face.
"Sister, I'm hungry." Seeing Wu'er's timid gaze, Shen Wan felt a pain in her heart, and then gently comforted:
"My sister immediately ordered someone to prepare a meal for you, you must eat more, don't be polite. After you're full, you have the strength to catch the bad guys, right? ”
"Hmm!" Wu'er nodded vigorously, lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Shen Wan worriedly protected her hand on the side:
"Can you do it yourself? Are you alright? ”
"Sister, don't worry, Wu'er is fine." He pulled out a smile, but people felt a touch of sadness inexplicably: he was thirteen or fourteen years old, but he had suffered such a great change, and after accepting the facts, he had actually learned to disguise.
……
"Brother Beigong, are you going to search for every Tiger Roaring Xuan? But if they had been prepared, you would not have been able to find them. Yu Chixuan frowned.
"I'm afraid I can't find any other way now, so I can only hurry up and find them out before they can make the next move." Beigong Han said.
"What about Wu'er? There's no way to follow you. Wei Chixuan said.
"Let's go to Yuguo next time, go to Mu Ningjiu and them, and then everyone will think of a way together." Shen Wandao.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Shang and Ning Jiu......" Yu Chixuan muttered. Beigong Han patted Wei Chi Xuan on the shoulder and proposed:
"Why don't you come with us, you're going to get moldy if you stay in this house for a long time! Isn't there no war in the Qi country now? You should be pretty idle, right? ”
"By the way, Beigong, you are a prince who comes out like this, are you okay? Tell your father about it, too. Shen Wan frowned.
"I left him a note saying that if there was an emergency, he would come back immediately. Isn't that timely? There is a difficulty at the border, I have time to guard, and it is fast to rush over directly. Beigong Han said.
Yu Chixuan pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Add me one." ”
"Good brother!" Beigong Han smiled: Since he met him, he never seemed to slack off, and now he has finally changed.
Wei Chixuan was worried: A few days ago, his father heard that he had returned to the palace, and he wanted to summon him into the palace several times on the grounds of deliberations, but he refused because of his physical illness. If you think about it, you know that it's about the princess again. The day before yesterday, he couldn't cope with Li Rong, if there were any more women, he really didn't know if he would like women in this life.
……
On the side of the Xuanwu Bridge, a blue-clothed wooden wind was made on the stone steps, wiped the sweat on his face, fanned himself with his hands, and muttered:
"How can you run away after saving people, I don't know what your name is...... "It's all to blame on that stinky boy!" dragged him to ask questions about the delay, otherwise he would definitely be able to catch up with her. If he meets that stinky boy again, he will definitely be killed! He looked unchanged, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile. Suddenly there was a pain in the buttocks, and a voice sounded beside him:
"Get out of the way! You don't do things, and you don't let others do things anymore? Bah! A strong man carrying a burden said roughly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Mu Changfeng rubbed his buttocks and got up, apologizing with a grin.
When the strong man saw him smiling so brightly, he looked at him in amazement, and then shook his head and said:
"You can still laugh, you straw bale! What exactly can you do? There is no cure! The disgrace of the General's Palace......" he scolded and walked away. Mu Changfeng was not angry at all: for so many years, I have heard dozens of times worse than this, and it is not a big deal. Besides, what they say is the truth, he is just a straw bag who does not learn and has no skills, and he will not change no matter what. Alas, I've been out for a few days, and I'm missing the food in the house...... The sun was so hot that it seemed to bend his spine, and he smacked his lips and got up, slowly moving in the direction of the general's mansion.
"Whew-" He drank the ice water from the deep well in the courtyard, feeling the pores of his whole body stretch out, and a slight coolness emerging. This kind of life is really pleasant, and if it is paired with food, it must be beautiful. He hooked his lips and called:
"Song Ma!"
"Little Master, you're finally back, what do you command?" A middle-aged woman walked in and asked.
"I don't have to tell them, I'll get out right anyway." He said lightly.
"Little master! Although the general and his wife are strict with you on the surface, they only have one son, and they all hope that you can accompany them to have a good meal and talk. You don't want to leave the house again today......" Mother Song persuaded bitterly.
"The food in the house is poor, and I can't get used to eating less." He crossed Erlang's legs and said nonchalantly.
"What would you like to eat? The old slave immediately ordered the kitchen to do it, and now it is the fish season, and there are a lot of seafood and everything. Mu Changfeng's hand holding the chair trembled slightly with excitement: the last time he ate fish was more than ten days ago! Finally able to eat a good meal...... But he said,
"Let the chef cook some seafood casually, it tastes average anyway."
"Did the young master agree to stay and eat?"
"Well, since Mother Song said so, Ben Shao has to agree if he doesn't agree." Mu Changfeng pretended to understand the righteousness and nodded.
After Song's mother left, Mu Changfeng leisurely picked up the ice water in the goblet, and was drinking it, when the sound of "dong dong dong" suddenly sounded on the wall, his hand shook, and the ice water choked into his throat.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" He drained the water that had been spilled on his clothes, frowning: What's going on? There is an empty room next door, why would there be anyone?? What happened during his absence? He pursed his lips, drank the ice water on the table, and strode to the next door.
Xiao Luo was nailing nails into the wall, but he didn't expect the wall of the General's Mansion to be so hard, so he smashed it a few times, and finally drove three or four nails into the wall. One turned his head and saw Mu Changfeng, and said without surprise:
"Amu, you're back."
Isn't this the stupid big guy you met on the street in the morning? How did he end up here? Mu Changfeng's eyebrows were twisted, as if he thought of something, and said word by word:
"You, won't be ......"
"Yes, Xiao Luo has seen the young general."
"I don't need to." Mu Changfeng paused and said, "If you came to be my personal guard after seeing the bounty, I advise you not to have hope." You can't get that money, because I don't know how to practice martial arts. ”
"Really?" Xiao Luo said lightly, "I don't care. When Mu Changfeng heard this, he looked Xiao Luo up and down carefully in surprise, and said strangely:
"So what are you doing here? Oh! If you are a spy and want to infiltrate the General's Mansion to investigate the military situation, I advise you not to think about it. There are mechanisms everywhere here, don't even know how to die when the time comes. ”
What did Amu think about all day? Xiao Luo stroked his forehead, a smile on his lips, and said in a deep voice: "Don't guess, I'm just ...... I prefer to subdue unruly people like you. ”
Mu Changfeng frowned and sneered: "That's really embarrassing, I'm going to disappoint you." He snorted heavily and turned away. A smile flashed in Xiao Luo's dark eyes: this kid's personality has really not changed at all, and he is still so stubborn. Then let's see who is the final winner.
……
"Father, mother." Mu Changfeng screamed twice, pulled out his seat and ate silently. Seeing this, Mu Xiu frowned, tried his best to suppress the anger that surged up, and said:
"Feng'er, you have reached the crown, you should take on the responsibility of a man! Drinking and playing all day long, what's it? ”
"I've probably said it many times, I don't want to practice martial arts." Mu Changfeng said lightly.
"But you have to! The General's Mansion is just your son, and your responsibility is incumbent! Mu Xiu stood up and roared. Chu Xiao on the side pressed Mu Xiu on the chair and scolded:
"Alright, alright! Why do you two quarrel as soon as you meet! Can you still have a quiet meal? ”
The two didn't speak, Mu Changfeng shook his head, as if he had forgotten all his troubles, and stretched out his chopsticks to clip a plate of salt-and-pepper fish in front of him. Well, it's still good to eat in the house...... He ate silently on his face, and when Chu Xiao saw it, he asked softly:
"Feng'er, what? Not to your liking? ”
"It's okay." Mu Changfeng said lightly, but a pair of chopsticks still stretched out to the plate of saliva chicken that had just been served.
The chicken is silky and tender, and the layer of sauce adsorbed on the skin spreads to the entire mouth with the friction of the teeth, stimulating the taste buds and secreting more filtrate. Mu Changfeng swallowed the chicken with his saliva, and the chopsticks attacked the plate of chicken again. The skills of the chef in the house have not improved a little, and this last chicken is the most delicious dish he has ever eaten since he was born! His eyes were about to contain his love for this dish.
"Smack!" Mu Xiu and Chu Xiao looked at Mu Changfeng fiercely when they heard the sound. He threw his chopsticks on the table and said in a trembling voice:
"Get me the cook for this dish! Who told him to put shallots in the dish? I don't know if Ben Shao hates eating green onions the most? "He really likes to put some green onions in his dishes as a spice...... It can bring out the original flavor of food to the extreme. His eyes were fixed on the plate of saliva chicken, which had been almost eaten on his side, and the back side had not moved. is to prevent being discovered by my father and mother, and I am exposed.
"Major General, you look for me." It's a familiar sound. Mu Changfeng looked up and saw Xiao Luo in a stone blue robe, and frowned:
"Ben Shao didn't look for you, what are you doing here?"
"Major General Hui, the saliva chicken you eat is my chef." Xiao Luo bowed and replied.
"......" what?? This stupid big guy can actually cook? And it burns so well! It's unlikely.
"Why do you put green onions in this dish? Too...... Unpalatable. He paused, swallowed his saliva, and didn't look at Xiao Luo with a weak heart, just stared at the plate of chicken in front of him.
