It is this faint sweetness, but it can be endlessly aftertasted in the mouth, and this spoonful is another spoonful, and Nian Xingchen quickly ate all the bowls of black rice porridge like a wind and clouds.

Looking at the black rice left in the bowl, he didn't let go, and every grain was put into his mouth.

"Although you say you don't have an appetite, you still eat a lot!"

Lin Ying watched from the sidelines, and her heart was extremely happy.

Nian Xingchen licked his mouth and asked meaningfully, "Is there anything else?"

"Oh my God!" Lin Ying took his bowl, "My bag of black rice is a tael of silver!"

A tael of silver is not cheap, he thought for a moment, "Then, forget it, it's expensive, it's expensive!"

"Don't say that, even if I sigh, if Lord Xiao Nian wants to eat, I'll give it to Sheng. Lin Ying couldn't close her mouth all of a sudden, so she directly covered her stomach and laughed, not forgetting to cover her mouth when she went out.

What is she laughing at?

Good guy, this time Lin Ying directly brought the pot for cooking porridge, and there were enough bowls in it.

"What were you laughing at?"

Nian Xingchen buried his head in eating porridge, and did not forget to ask.

"You are the young master of the family, why are you so greedy, and you don't eat at all. ”

"Hmm!" A mouthful of black rice porridge entered his throat and burned a little, Nian Xingchen opened his mouth slightly, fanned it with his hand, and spit out a mouthful of hot air, "What's wrong with the young master? I'm just a young master from a foreign family." ”

Looking at Nian Xingchen gobbling up with disgust, Lin Ying muttered, "No one is as strong as you." ”

"Anyway, Xiao Nian, I lived in the north when I was a child, and I never heard that there was a person like you in Chang'an, and when I came back, Nian's family no longer existed, and there were many rumors about you in the world, you ......"

I don't know if it's out of curiosity or what, Lin Ying is inexplicably interested in this person's past at this moment.

At this moment, the sweaty young man picked up the bowl and drank it dry, but after hearing Lin Ying's words, he was silent for a moment.

Neither of them spoke for a while, and there was silence in between.

"Why mention the past, yes or no, it doesn't matter anymore, it's me and it's me!" Nian Xingchen put the porridge bowl aside and said lightly.

His eyes changed from panic at the beginning to helplessness now, calm and composed, and changed very quickly.

However, Lin Ying is a delicate person after all, and some of his subtle changes are written on his face.

"Well, it's okay if you don't say it, are you full?"

"Hmm. ”

Lin Ying said jokingly while cleaning up the dishes and spoons: "You can really eat, there is nothing left." ”

"You should tell me what you found today!" Nian Xingchen became more and more energetic after his stomach was full.

"Gambling houses, restaurants, I went to Khan Tartar all over the place, and finally came up with useful information from the shopkeeper of the restaurant in the wind and rain!"

Useful information?

Lin Ying glanced out the window, thinking that she couldn't sleep, so she simply sat down and told Nian Xingchen about the trip, including the fact that Yang Shu was caught.

As soon as this girl opened her mouth, it was extraordinary, and her keen observation often made her more specific when she said things, her jade hand was gesturing in the air, and her mouth was babbling and talking, which really made Nian Xingchen stunned.

"Anyway, that's all you know now, and when you're healed, we'll leave immediately!"

"Shaolin ......"

Datang, Chang'an

The sun rises in the east, the vitality fills this Chang'an City, the blazing light burns all over half of the sky, the clouds are like red lotus, and the sky is like a sea of fire, blooming all over the sky.

Under the rising sun, the red wall of Daming Palace protects the imperial palace like dragon scales, and on the top of the stairs, the Tang ministers in official robes are well-groomed and stand on both sides.

The king has not been in power for many years, but the sea has been peaceful.

Now, the Western Regions Protectorate is about to expand its territory, according to Emperor Ming, today in front of the Daming Palace to sacrifice wine, one to sacrifice the soul of the soldiers on the front line, the second to sacrifice the ancestors of Li Tang and the ancestors, and the third to give the Tang Army flag to open the victory, in one fell swoop.

Li Ruofu and Yang Chen stood on the highest step in green clothes, one of them closed his eyes to recuperate, and the other glanced at the Daming Palace from time to time.

"Li Xiang, why hasn't this majesty come out yet?"

"Lord Yang doesn't need to be in a hurry. Li Ruofu replied casually, with his hands in his sleeves, his body standing upright, his eyes slightly closed, unmoved by the outside world.

"Yes, yes. ”

Seeing Li Ruofu's disapproving look, Yang Chen had no choice but to answer with a wry smile.

Bang ——!

The main gate of Daming Palace opened, and a white-bearded old man in yellow armor walked out with a group of soldiers carrying wooden tables.

The white-bearded old man held a sword in his left hand, his right hand was behind his back, and his majestic posture was revealed, and he was the commander of the forbidden army-Chen Yuzhi.

"Your Excellency is fortunate, Your Majesty has prepared a banquet, let's drink it on the spot!" the old general spread his right hand and waved at the soldiers behind him.

Many of the ministers on the stairs looked puzzled, and even when the soldiers put the table in front of them, they froze in place and did not sit on the spot.

Li Ruofu flicked his long sleeves, arched his hand at General Chen, crossed his legs, and sat on the spot.

Seeing that the head of the hundred officials had already sat down, the ministers looked at each other and sat down hesitantly.

What is your majesty doing?

There has never been a precedent for a banquet in front of the temple since ancient times!

Sitting on the spot like this is rude!

The sound of discussion gradually sounded on the top of the stairs, and some people even discussed it loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, can't wait for this wine before it is served?" Li Ruofu raised his voice and swept his eyes downward, shocking those who were whispering below on the spot.

The prime minister at the head of the hundred officials, there are countless people who sit on the steps of Daming Palace, and even everyone here has more or less intersections with him.

As soon as these words came out, no one in the audience dared to speak again!

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

With the yin shout of the accompanying eunuch, the front of the Daming Palace became lively again.

Emperor Ming's robe is added, the dragon pattern surrounds his left and right, his body is tied with a silver silk belt, and the sword of the Son of Heaven is attached to his waist, followed by a maid holding a wine glass on the left and right.

Without a trace of expression on his face, he looked ahead, his right hand was on the handle of the sword, the imperial robe gathered its qi, and the Son of Heaven showed its might!

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" Yang Chen seized the opportunity to speak first and bowed his hand!

The ministers under the seat did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stood up and saluted in the direction of the hall.

"I'm not in Daming Palace today, and this number of gifts doesn't have to be too much, so let's give up!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

As soon as Emperor Ming said a word, everyone knelt down and saluted again, and their heads were lower than the other.

This made Emperor Ming uncomfortable for a while, he shook his hand with a wry smile, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were quite obvious, "Get up, get up, you don't have to be formal today, I just said!"

After reaffirming the Emperor's words, the ministers stood up one by one.

"I've always felt redundant this long live, and I won't do it again in the future!"

Yang Chen hurriedly spoke: "How can it be? Your Majesty has a long life, and he is ordered by the sky, why can't he live long?"

"Hahahaha!" After hearing this, Emperor Ming burst out laughing, and his head and body couldn't help but tilt back, as if he thought Yang Chen's words were a joke.

This also made Yang Chen look up at this strange emperor, and his face was puzzled.

"Okay, Yang Chen, I ask you, is there a person in this world who has no boundaries of longevity?" Emperor Ming raised the corners of his mouth, looked down at Yang Chen and asked.

"This ......" Yang Chen, who has always worked words, was also speechless.

"Your Majesty!" Li Ruofu said to the emperor, "The minister has never seen it, and he does not believe that there is a longevity without borders, and the minister agrees to abolish it!"

"The ministers also agree!" After listening to Li Ruofu's words, the other ministers also chimed in.

Emperor Ming smiled indifferently and raised the sword pinned to his waist, "How can there be a person in this world who has a boundless life, but he has the merit of enriching all the people!

The emperor's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word pierced everyone's ears!

"Destroy the north, open the Western Regions, and rule the peace for ten years!"

"Your Majesty's Wende martial arts have been unmatched since ancient times!" Yang Chen seized the opportunity and hurriedly spoke.

"Everyone, sit down!"

Emperor Ming didn't seem to hear Yang Chen speak, he pointed to Li Ruofu's table and motioned for the ministers to sit down, and he was even more unrestrained, and sat down directly on the platform in front of the hall.

He put his sword aside, rolled up his sleeve, and waved his hand as if to grab the entire palace, "Think about it carefully, what kind of courage, what ambition, and what pride Taizong was back then to bring this disintegrated world back on track! In front of his old man, I am still one chess behind! Li Xiang, what do you think?"

Li Ruofu nodded, stroked his beard, and shook his hand, "Taizong's pride and courage have been invincible throughout the ages, and His Majesty's merits are no match for him!"

"Hahaha, I know that I am not in the right position, but I am also worthy of my ancestors and ancestors! If I have the opportunity, I really want to garrison the frontier for my Tang Kingdom. Emperor Ming's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, as if he was a little lost.

"Your Majesty!"

"Okay!" Emperor Ming clapped his hands, and the maid behind him also moved, "Let's start the sacrificial wine banquet!"

Isn't it a sacrificial wine banquet to be set up for a banquet?

The maids placed a glass of wine and a piece of meat on the plates of the ministers in an orderly manner.

Didn't the taste of this wine and meat leak out at all when it was served before?

This meat has no meat aroma at all, and it seems to be bacon, black and not slippery, which really gives people a feeling of nausea.

The wine is not mellow at all, and it doesn't seem to be any different from water!

This is also puzzling, is this the only thing that is said to be a good banquet?

"Zhong Aiqing, let's drink this glass of wine first, eat this piece of meat, and our banquet will be dispersed!" Emperor Ming held the wine glass to the audience, and even the chopsticks were useless, he directly stuffed the piece of meat into his mouth with his hand, and the chewing looked like it was not a little difficult, his mouth kept opening and closing, and then he moved the wine glass in front of him and drank it all!
