Chapter 146: The Noble Assassin
In the middle of the night, Li Hong lay on his bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and every time he turned around, he could see the two masters playing chess.
The two of them played chess very slowly, and it took them a long time to lose a piece.
Yun Chu still knows a little about Go, and his former teacher was an amateur Go five-dan.
The Go of the Tang Dynasty was still in the era of fierce killing, and the chess players at this time liked the dragon strangulation the most.
For the overall layout, he is not as skilled as later chess players.
Xu Jingzong is one of the masters, from the very beginning, he followed Yun Chu close to the strangulation, so that Yun Chu had no free opportunity to lay out in the corner.
Just as the two big dragons on the chessboard entered the hand of life and death, a poisonous snake slowly swam onto the bed from under Li Hong's bed.
It's a black snake, and just by looking at its triangular head, you know it's not a good person.
After the snake swam to bed, it straightened its head and looked at Li Hong, who was also staring at it.
Yun Chu fell in the corner, and the four chess pieces had already been constructed, but because of the momentum in the corner, his big dragon was not strong enough and fell into decline.
Xu Jingzong saw that Yun Chu Luozi was in the corner, so he snorted coldly, and Luozi robbed and killed the big dragon.
The black poisonous snake popped out like lightning and bit the pillow in Li Hong's hand, and Li Hong immediately caught the seven inches of the poisonous snake.
Looking up at the two masters who were still playing chess, he grabbed the snake, pinched the snake's mouth, and pressed two white fangs on the wood at the head of the bed.
Before the fangs fell on the wood, two drops of crystal snake venom appeared on the wood, Li Hong continued to press down, pressed the fangs into the wood, and then pulled hard, and the two sharp fangs were left on the wood with the poison sac.
The snake wouldn't bark, but the pain still made the three-foot-long snake firmly wrap around Li Hong's arm.
Li Hong looked at the fangs and sacs left at the head of the bed, and opened the mouth of the poisonous snake to check, but he didn't see the third fang, so he was relieved to let the snake continue to wrap around his arm.
Eyes are looking around...... Neither master allowed him to leave his sight, and he had to hope that he would encounter more poisonous snakes......
Li Hong is not afraid of snakes, not only is he not afraid, but he also likes these cold-blooded animals a little, especially this thing is very comfortable to pinch coldly.
Naha taught him the ability to catch snakes, Naha not only knows how to catch snakes, but also peels snakes and boils snake soup, of course, this thing is roasted and eaten, and the taste is not so good.
The snake meat is very thin, there is a big bone in the middle from the head to the tail, the bone is cut one by one, after stir-frying with the chili pepper, then use two toothpicks to pierce the hole of the snake bone, and bite the fine meat little by little with the teeth, which is very good for rice and wine.
The snake soup is delicious, basically there is no shortcoming, use the fire to throw the whole peeling snake into the steaming, and wait until the snake meat is all off the bones, then use the fence to fish out the bones and throw them away.
Then add a little pepper and salt to it, and then beat a little water starch, wait for the snake meat to float in the soup, and then beat the two eggs into the bowl, the egg yolk is not wanted, as long as the egg white, beat it evenly in one direction with a fast child, and then pour it into the side of the pot.
Then, there will be pink and white snake meat silk in the pot, and the white protein wadding will float in it, and then stir the soup pot vigorously, and a pot of fragrant and translucent snake soup will be ready.
To eat such snake soup, it is best not to use a spoon, pick up the bowl and pour it into the stomach, and pour it down in one go, without stopping in the middle...... You'll feel the delicious snake soup go from your mouth to your throat and end up in your stomach, and you'll feel comfortable all over...... Especially in the cold morning, there is such a bowl of soup to drink, what a pleasure.
Li Hong thought of this, so he pinched the black poisonous snake wrapped around his arm, and felt that this snake was not fat enough, and the soup made should not be enough for three people to drink, so he opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent, hoping that there would also be a snake there to climb in, preferably a highly poisonous snake, when boiling soup, the more poisonous the better.
In this case, there will be a surplus of snake soup for Naha to drink.
Suddenly there was a mournful sound outside the window, and this thing could not blow any joyful and festive tunes, and the sound of whining was like a woman's wailing.
Li Hong also doesn't like the sound of the flute, and like Naha, he has a special hobby for horns.
As soon as the horn sounds, you feel that the sun has pierced through the dark clouds, and the earth is bright...... It's just that the sound of Naha's trumpet is very similar to the crowing of a rooster, and the sound of Li Hong's trumpet is no better, like the wail of a chicken before it dies.
However, this did not prevent the two of them from blowing the trumpet together vigorously and enjoying themselves.
The sound of the dong flute came from the side hall group of the East Palace, where dozens of beautiful women lived, and they had been in the East Palace for three days.
Between the ages of thirteen and sixteen, they all look like they are all beautiful women, yesterday, Li Hong took Naha dressed as a man to secretly see it, fat and thin, Naha thought it was amazing.
Li Hong's eyes kept staring at the top of the tent, but unfortunately, since the sound of the cave flute, no snake has climbed down.
There was a "boom", and then a ray of light illuminated Li Hong's bedroom, albeit for a moment, it also overshadowed the candlelight.
Li Hong jumped up from the bed with a carp and came to the two masters barefoot, originally wanting to speak, but found that the two masters were still playing chess, ignoring the outside world.
It wasn't until Xu Jingzong saw that Li Hong had a poisonous snake wrapped around his wrist that he grabbed three chess pieces and put them on the chessboard to admit defeat.
"The old man's chess style is too bad, not like Yunhou's full layout, and finally won with momentum, it seems that the old man's chess style is not suitable for His Royal Highness the Prince."
Yun Chu shook his head and pointed to the blank space of the boss in the middle and said, "Central Plains, Central Plains, the land of wealth is not comparable to the bitter cold land on the edge."
Li Hong saw that the two masters were talking, so he hurriedly pointed out the window and said, "There is a fight outside."
Yun Chu looked at the poisonous snake on Li Hong's wrist and said, "Xiao Siye should be able to eliminate the assassins."
Xu Jingzong said: "Since the poisonous snake has entered the prince's bedroom, there are still internal troubles."
Yun Chu looked at Li Hong puzzled and said, "How do you manage the East Palace, how can you get loopholes everywhere?"
Li Hong grabbed the head of the snake and tore the poisonous snake off his arm and said with a smile: "Originally, everything was fine, but since the forty-seven palace maids, servants, and servants came three days ago, the East Palace has become what it is now."
Yun Chu looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "They are all palace ladies with names and surnames, how dare they do this?"
Xu Jingzong said: "People are chosen by His Majesty, not sent by people on their own initiative, as long as they can enter the East Palace, whether they are good or bad is the prince's, and it is also the prince's business to kill or chop them."
[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]
See, it will reduce a lot of indifferent internal friction."
After explaining to Xu Jingzong, Yun Chu said to Li Hong again, "You haven't forgotten what I taught you, have you?"
Hearing this, Li Hong excitedly picked up a horizontal knife and said, "I haven't forgotten."
Yun Chu smiled, "If you haven't forgotten, let's take Xu Gong and hide."
Li Hong said disappointedly, "The master is talking about the secret room."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "People even have gunpowder now, don't you want to go into battle yourself if you don't hide?"
Before Li Hong could continue to speak, Xu Jingzong grabbed his hand and said, "Where is the secret room?"
Li Hong sighed, and pushed open a tall and heavy bookshelf, revealing a secret door, Xu Jingzong hurriedly pulled Li Hong into the secret room, and then the bookshelf returned to its original position, only to hear a click, the mechanism inside should be locked.
Yun Chu opened the window and looked indifferently at the battle that was getting closer and closer, the people participating in the battle were obviously three people, one group was black, one group was white, and the other group was Li Hong's East Palace guard.
The East Palace guards didn't let the enemy rush here because they were not brave, the main thing was that a group of black-clothed people would ignite the gunpowder on their bodies whenever they had the opportunity, and then die with the East Palace guards.
Yun Chu glanced at the battlefield, and then set his eyes on the side halls of the East Palace full of women.
There was already a raging fire burning there, and the sound of women crying and screaming could be faintly heard.
Yun Chu was very sure that the fire there should not have been set by the assassins, and of course, it would not have been set by Li Hong, after all, the person who managed the East Palace was still the queen of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Hong didn't like those palace women, Wu Mei knew this, and she also felt that it was a very humiliating thing for her eldest son to accept those women.
The most important point is that Wu Mei doesn't like that there are too many uncontrollable factors in the palace ban.
She went from nothing to the position of the queen, so she didn't want another character like her to appear in the forbidden place of the Tang Palace.
Among the people who fought in the three directions, the most powerful was the man in black, but the most flexible was the group of people dressed in white and holding two knives.
When they fight, it's like they're dancing, with an indescribable sense of rhythm, and if someone is singing or reciting poetry at this time, they're even better.
Seeing that the three men in black rushed into the group of armor warriors desperately, they had obviously been pierced by the armor soldiers' spears, but their bodies exploded on the spears.
Yun Chu closed the window, and after a few violent explosions, Yun Chu saw a few blood flowers appear on the window.
Opening the broken window again, Yun Chu saw two white-clothed men crossing the flowers and trees, swinging their double knives and swooping in the direction where Yun Chu was.
They wore small black gauze hats on their heads, tied to their chins with a black ribbon, and when they jumped, their white clothes fluttered like a giant white butterfly.
Yun Chu couldn't help laughing, and said to himself, "What a damn sense of aristocracy, even if you want to die, you have to pursue a good-looking Hualang disciple."
