[219] Discretion
"Childbirth at sea?" Xiao Shizhu frowned, the word "Chuan" suddenly appeared on his forehead, and his mouth was puzzled: "Although I have never given birth, I also know that even if it is stable on land, pregnant women will suffer from childbirth;
"Yes. Lai Yueqi also nodded a little confused.
"What do you mean by this idea?" Xiao Shizhu lowered his head and pondered, his voice was low, more like he was talking to himself.
Lai Yueqi was also puzzled, so she had to spread her hands, her face was puzzled, and she shook her head gently.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shizhu didn't come up with an ugly person, so he raised his eyebrows, waved his hand to Lai Yueqi, and said, "You go over first, I'll come later." ”。
Seeing that he finished speaking, Lai Yueqi continued to ponder, so she didn't ask too much, and after nodding, she went straight in the direction of Tianning Palace.
Xiao Shizhu was left standing alone in the cold wind of the evening, stunned......
It was just night, and in the brightly lit Tianning Palace, the fragrance was overflowing.
On the round table in the hall, the green jade and purple bamboo lamp in the center illuminates the plates of fragrant and attractive home-cooked side dishes on the table, and a bowl of delicious and sweet anchovy soup.
Xiao Shizhu, the ghost mother, Lai Yueqi and Ying Ying sat around the table;
Lai Yueqi looked at the delicious food on the table in a daze, and before saliva flowed out of the corners of her mouth, she hurriedly swallowed it violently, and then looked at Xiao Shizhu with adoring eyes: "Are you sure you made it all yourself?"
"Isn't that weird? When I was on earth, I grew up in an orphanage. At that time, there was a rule that children over the age of eight had to work in the kitchen one day a week. Xiao Shizhu smiled faintly and said proudly: "I really don't know what kind of Manchu and Han French dinner you want to eat, but home-cooked side dishes, that's a small meaning." ”。
It turned out that after he asked Lai Yueqi to leave first, he went to the food prison and made a table of delicious dishes for the ghost mother.
The ghost mother on the side nodded, and said proudly: "His skills can be compared with the chefs in the palace." ”。
"Let's use chopsticks, if you are not active in eating, you have a problem with your brain, so you don't need to be restrained and open to eat. He picked up the chopsticks from the chopsticks pillow and sandwiched a piece of white and delicate anchovy meat for the ghost mother.
Lai Yueqi, who couldn't wait for a long time, disregarded her image, and ate it with chopsticks, smacking her lips from time to time, and she was amazed. Even Ying Ying's indifferent face was a little intoxicated after eating a few bites of food.
"For your superb medical skills. After eating a few bites, Xiao Shizhu put down his chopsticks, raised his wine glass, and said very politely to Ying Ying, who was sitting opposite: "I toast you!"
"The Nine Shadows King is polite. Although her face has recovered a lot, Ying Ying, who is still a little pale, smiled faintly, raised her teacup, and said, "If you don't drink alcohol, you will replace the bar with tea." ”。
"Okay. Xiao Shizhu didn't force it, first did it as a respect, smashed it and smashed it, and said: "You said that you gave birth at sea, why is this?"
Ying Ying didn't answer immediately when she heard this, but glanced at Lai Yueqi first.
The national teacher spoke. The ghost mother looked at her and smiled lightly, then turned her head to look at Lai Yueqi, who was buried in eating, and said lightly: "No matter what you say, Mrs. Lai will not go out to spread it." ”。
"Hmm. Lai Yueqi, who was eating happily, didn't raise her head. The food cooked by Xiao Shizhu is so full of color and fragrance that it makes her index finger move and her appetite is great.
"I don't know, I think it's a starving ghost. Xiao Shizhu smiled, and wanted to taunt Lai Yueqi again, but when he saw the ghost mother rolling her eyes at him, he hurriedly shut up.
At this time, Ying Ying took a sip of fragrant tea, frowned slightly, and said, "When I was treating the mother of the country, I found that your mystical power was inherited from the child. In other words, this child also has a hidden power in his body. ”。
The ghost mother was stunned when she heard this, and her face, which was still faintly gentle, suddenly became gloomy; her eyes were suddenly vigilant, and the chopsticks holding the fish meat in her hand were raised, and they stopped in mid-air;
I didn't expect that this is what the national teacher was going to say.
In an instant, a trace of murderous aura flashed between her eyebrows. Towards Yingying, he looked coldly.
"Don't be nervous, the national teacher is a credible ghost. Xiao Shizhu hurriedly raised his hand, held the ghost mother's arm, and said, "Calm, calm." ”。
The ghost mother glanced at Xiao Shizhu, but after seeing that the other party's smile was full of confidence and composure, she slowly put away her murderous aura;
"What is Xuanli?" Lai Yueqi suddenly stopped her chopsticks at this time and asked stupidly.
"Something that can't be passed on, you can listen to it, don't say it outside. Xiao Shizhu snorted at her, and after Lai Yueqi nodded in response, he said to Ying Ying: "National teacher, you continue." ”。
"A child with mystical power is a new god. It is not surprising that once he is born, there is nothing strange about it, and if you look at the "History of the Underworld", you know that when any ancient god is born, there is a strange thing that falls from heaven. And once this child is born, the mystical power in her body will awaken with her birth and send out the first pulse. Emperor Xudu, who is far away on Luo Yu Mountain, can also feel it. Ying Ying's face was serious, frowning at Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, and said softly: "If he gives birth on Shuoyue Island, he can be sure that this child was born in Xiaoyu Mountain City at the first time, and he will definitely come to deal with this child immediately." ”。
"Well, then my daughter won't be able to live, including me. Xiao Shizhu put away his smile and nodded: "So you want to produce at sea, right?"
In the green jade and purple bamboo lamp in the middle of the table, the flame on the wick swayed a few times with his words. Only then did Lai Yueqi realize the seriousness of the matter, hurriedly directed the chopsticks, and looked at Xiao Shizhu with concern in her eyes.
"This must be done, Emperor Xudu has been guarding against the Son of God, and the standard judgment of the Son of God is that he has mystical power. Once he is aware of the existence of Xuan Li, he will definitely do his best to deal with us. Ying Ying also bowed slightly, and continued to lower her voice: "But giving birth at sea can confuse it, after all, the sea is vast, so he can only be sure that this child appears somewhere on the sea, but it is impossible to target our country at once." ”。
"And the sea is vast, even if there is any vision, it is impossible for him to see it, right?" Xiao Shizhu stood up, slowly walked to the hidden window, slowly pulled it open, and raised his eyes to look out of the window.
The cold wind howled outside the hall, and the firelight in the pavilion-style stone lamp swayed in the dark night, bringing up patches of shadows. I don't know when it snowed heavily, the black snowflakes seemed to fly, like catkins, like goose feathers, falling from the air, and after a while, all the plants and trees outside the hall were covered.
After Ying Ying nodded, Xiao Shizhu pondered for a moment before closing the window and walking back to the round table and sitting down. There was a faint sadness and worry on his face.
"You decide. Seeing Xiao Shizhu looking at herself, the ghost mother hurriedly said, "I listen to you." ”。
"No, I can't. Xiao Shizhu gently tapped the table with his hand, and said word by word: "The sea is shaking around, how to give birth?"
"So I have to follow and use the medical array to ensure that the mother of the country is worry-free. When he spoke, Ying Ying opened her lips and replied indifferently.
"You?" Xiao Shizhu's suspicious gaze fell on her face: "I don't doubt your medical skills, it's just that this boat is shaking non-stop, how can she give birth to a baby?"
"Besides, this has the first time and the second time, do you have to give birth on the ship in the future?" Xiao Shizhu pulled his face and said coldly: "It's a big deal that I have a fight with Emperor Xudu, afraid of him?"
In this matter, he has no reason to speak of, and he would rather offend the Emperor than suffer the ghost mother.
"Fight?" After not thinking about the next second, Ying Ying didn't care if it was disrespectful, and bluntly ridiculed him: "How strong are you now? Do you have so much self-confidence that you dare to face the Emperor of Xudu?" Don't forget, although the territory of the Nine Shadows Kingdom has expanded, it is still a small vassal state in development, and you don't even have a body now, just a soul, if you lose, who will protect the mother of the country and the little lord?".
Xiao Shizhu trembled when he heard this, and a layer of fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he also calmed down.
The hand he held the cup, his five fingers slightly forced, and he clenched the luminous cup in his hand hard, and his mind was constantly thinking about countermeasures.
"I assure you, even if it is a ship, the mother of the country and the little lord will not suffer too much. Ying Ying put away her sarcasm, her face was calm, and her eyebrows were full of confidence: "Although I can't stabilize the ship, the ancient medical skills can allow her to give birth smoothly." ”。
Xiao Shizhu listened patiently, pondered for a long time, and opened his mouth to tell all the things that were in front of the Tiande Hall before, deceiving the night wandering gods, only the scene where he knelt for the other party, and hid it.
After finishing speaking, he rolled his eyes, looked at Ying Ying and said, "Do you think this is okay? At least when the night wandering god returns, Emperor Xudu will know that my wife has given birth, and he will not suspect us." ”。
"No, let's not mention that with the way Emperor Xudu does things, once it is discovered that Xuanli appears on Shuoyue Island, the people of the island will be slaughtered. Ying Ying frowned again, and analyzed him in an orderly manner: "Let's just say that it will take at least two months for the night wandering spirit to return to the capital, and the mother of the country is about to give birth." Before the night wandering god returned to Xudu, the Emperor of Xudu had already killed. ”。
"I am very much in favor of the plan of the national teacher. Before Xiao Shizhu could reply, the ghost mother took his hand, patted the back of his hand gently, looked at him gently, and said slowly: "She is right, once the Xuan Li is discovered, the Emperor Xudu will definitely slaughter the city to prevent future troubles." Even for you and the people of Shuoyue Island, I have to give birth at sea. ”。
Her tone was resolute and sonorous, but Xiao Shizhu suddenly lost the courage to persevere.
