Chapter 21: Persuasion

"Since your condition is to let me eat, then when you let me eat, the general will naturally release them, and I can protect your life. But now my body really can't eat it, and even if I do, I will vomit it. The young lady said.

"I think it must have been Miss's lower abdomen that hurt too much and I was nervous that I wouldn't know how to eat if I was 'not long in the world', Miss and give me two hours, and I will take care of Miss." Lan Xiaoqiu was full of confidence.

Miss nodded: "In the future, don't call me Miss, my name is Ruosu, call me Ruosu in the future, you are the first woman to talk to me for so long." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu smiled knowingly, but heard a soldier shouting behind the door of the tent: "The general asked the young lady if she wanted to take Lan Xiaoqiu away." ”

"No, Miss Ben wants to taste the dishes she makes, you must not embarrass her, take her down to prepare." After speaking, he held Lan Xiaoqiu's hand and said, "I only said to protect your life, but those wicked people should be left to their fate." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu nodded: "Being able to meet Ruosu is also a blessing for me to cultivate." I have confidence in myself, as long as the general speaks the talk. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu was taken to the general's tent, and the general heard that Lan Xiaoqiu had been talking to the young lady for a long time and asked, "What did you say to the young lady?" ”

"Then can't you tell the general, the general only needs me to cook something for the young lady to eat, right? As long as the young lady eats it, she will let us go, right? Lan Xiaoqiu confirmed again.

"That's true, but what's the matter with the wound on your face?" The general was very alert.

"Oh, nothing." Only then did Lan Xiaoqiu remember the five finger prints on his face.

"Did you do something to bully Miss?" The general asked nervously.

"How dare I? That young lady can hack me to death with a sword, this palm is just a misunderstanding, didn't the young lady say anything? ”

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, the general waved his hand: "Take him down to prepare." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu came out of the kitchen with a bowl of sugar water first, and the general ordered someone to check the sugar water, but was resisted by the smell of sugar water: "What is this?" ”

Lan Xiaoqiu said: "What women drink." ”

The general took the spoon and stirred it twice: "It's an egg." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu nodded: "That's right, don't worry, general, there is no poison in it." ”

The general waved his hand and motioned for Lan Xiaoqiu to take the sugar water.

Similarly, Ruosu also felt that the sugar water smelled bad: "What is this, it's black, and there are eggs in it." ”

"This is a good medicine for women's menstrual pain, and after drinking it, it will not hurt when you sleep." Lan Xiaoqiu held the sugar water: "Drink it while it's hot." ”

"Is it really going to be good?" Ruosu thinks that brown sugar is not a rare thing, and this egg is also very common, why is it good to add the two together?

"Drink it as medicine, and when the young lady wakes up, she will want to eat." Lan Xiaoqiu fed Ruosu the poached eggs in the brown sugar spoonfuls spoonful, and after eating, Ruosu said, "It's hot." I'm tired. ”

When Lan Xiaoqiu left the tent, Ruosu had already fallen asleep. Lan Xiaoqiu knew that heart disease also required heart medicine, this Miss Ruosu was scared half to death by calling it 'Moon', and she thought that she would die soon, so she was naturally nervous day and night, and the more nervous she was, the more painful her lower abdomen would be. After the chain reaction, it is what to eat and vomit, and finally it makes me unable to sleep and eat.

And Lan Xiaoqiu's words just opened Ruosu's heart, turning worry into joy, and naturally the pain was alleviated. Coupled with Lan Xiaoqiu's prescription for his authoritarian menstrual cramps, he only needs to sleep for a while to get better.

Unexpectedly, Ruosu slept for two hours, and it was almost late at night, when Lan Xiaoqiu heard the news that Ruosu had woken up.

Goodbye Ruosu, her complexion is much better, and her voice is not as soft as Fang Cai: "Sister, I really don't hurt anymore, and I'm very hungry." Actually, now I can eat anything, but I still hide it from the general and say let you try it. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu smiled confidently: "I was ready for a long time." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu beckoned the soldiers to bring up all the things he had made, and placed a few plates on the table, all of which were covered with lids.

Ruo Su took advantage of Lan Xiaoqiu's failure to lift the lid and said, "Wait, invite the general." ”

The general was also very surprised when he saw that Ruo Su was very good.

Lan Xiaoqiu opened the lid one by one and introduced: "This is chicken roll, this is red date cake, this is rock sugar osmanthus white fungus soup, and this is peanut and walnut crisp." It's all good food for Miss's body right now. ”

Ruosu leaned over and sniffed the aroma of the jujube cake: "It's so fragrant." Except for white fungus soup, I haven't eaten any of these. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu made a gesture of please: "Try it." ”

"How should I eat this?" Ruosu pointed to the chicken rolls, and Lan Xiaoqiu stretched out five: "Just take it and eat it." ”

Ruosu grabbed the chicken roll and took a bite: "Isn't there chicken here?" How can it be so fragrant and not greasy? And why is this bread so chewy? ”

"There are carrots and cucumbers, and I sprinkle some corn kernels, so it removes the oiliness of the chicken, gives off the flavor of cucumbers and carrots and the sweetness of corn, and seasons it with a thick sauce, and the crust has to be kneaded many times to make it stronger. In our hometown, this delicacy is very common. ”

It didn't take long for Ruosu to eat the whole chicken roll. Seeing that Ruo Su was still unsatisfied, he took a piece of red date cake, Ruo Su felt sweet and fragrant, and even wanted to try peanut and walnut cake: "I have eaten peanut fruit and walnut cake, but the combination of the two is so sweet, it melts in the mouth, and it breaks when broken." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu said: "Thanks to the general, he can find the materials I want quickly, and they are all the best and freshest." This material is sufficient, and it is naturally full of flavor. ”

Almost a whirlwind, Ruosu ate all the food, and finally drank the white fungus soup and said, "Did I eat too much?" ”

Lan Xiaoqiu said proudly: "Not much, not much, it's me who has done too little." Time is limited, so that's all I can do. ”

"Good work." Ruosu put down the empty bowl, but found that he couldn't stand up.

Lan Xiaoqiu looked back at the general, and now he was looking at Ruosu with an incredulous expression.

"General, general?"

was called back to his soul by Lan Xiaoqiu, and the general laughed: "Haha, Ruosu, you are finally better." I'm relieved. ”

"If it weren't for Lan Xiaoqiu, I'm afraid Ruosu would really starve to death." Ruosu spoke for Lan Xiaoqiu.

Lan Xiaoqiu hurriedly reminded: "What the general said, does it still count?" ”

The general nodded: "Ruosu, you rest for a while, and I'll deal with Li Tianba's affairs." ”

Just as the general was about to leave with Lan Xiaoqiu, he heard Ruosu say, "General." ”

The general turned his head to look at Ruosu, who nodded: "I hope the general will be the talker." ”

The general hesitated for a moment, nodded, and left the tent.

In the cell.

"I think this Lan Xiaoqiu must have run away, or it's so late and he won't come back. Young master and young lady, don't have any hope for this wolf-hearted thing. "I was locked up in a cell, and everyone couldn't sleep. It's late at night, and Lan Xiaoqiu still hasn't moved.

Li Da worried: "He can't have an accident, right?" ”

"Li Da, why are you still worried about him? I also think that he ran away, and if something happens, he will hear the news. Li Tianba determined that Lan Xiaoqiu was a spy and continued: "I'm afraid that the general called him back when he saw that we had seen through him and knew that he couldn't find out anything anymore. ”

I saw two soldiers running in, escorting Li Tianba and his two sons and daughters to the general's tent on orders.

Li Tianba really saw Lan Xiaoqiu standing beside him, and only listened to the general: "If General Ben lets you go, do you want to go back to the mountain?" ”

Li Tianba looked at the children behind him suspiciously, Li Da seemed to have guessed something, and nodded slightly towards Lan Xiaoqiu.

"Let us go?" Li Tianba felt that he had misheard.

"That's right, Lan Xiaoqiu's miracle work. Therefore, General Ben must also keep his promise to release you, but there is only one condition for releasing you. That is, you can no longer be a bandit in the mountains. "The general put forward the conditions.

Li Tian said domineeringly: "We are doing the right thing for heaven, how can we be powerful." ”

"Presumptuous." The general slapped the table and glared angrily.

Lan Xiaoqiu immediately stepped forward: "General, I think they know that the imperial court is going to exterminate them, so naturally they will not go back to the mountains, but the general asks again, and they don't know how to answer." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu walked to Li Tianba's side: "You can't go back, this time the general let you go, just to make a bet with me, I'm afraid that sooner or later the court will arrest you." Instead of avoiding the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, it is better to change your career and take everyone to do a small business to make a living. Everyone is a kung fu person, and it's easy to make a dart game and eat a meal. ”

Li Da also whispered: "Thanks to Lan Xiaoqiu, otherwise the brothers' heads would not be able to be saved." ”

Li Zhen also took his father's hand: "Yes, the dart game can also be Yang Wei, everyone will definitely follow Daddy." ”

Li Tianba nodded: "Okay, as long as you are willing to let me and my brothers go, I will never go back to the mountains." ”

After hearing this, the general nodded: "It's okay to let you and your henchmen go, but one person must stay." ”

"Does the general want my children as hostages?" Li Tianba speculated.

"Your sons and daughters are of no value to me, I want him." The general pointed directly at Lan Xiaoqiu who was standing aside, but Li Da and Li Zhen said together: "No." ”

"General, you have too many conditions, you didn't say these conditions at the beginning." Lan Xiaoqiu didn't want to stay in the barracks at all, even if it was in the camp, the food of the whole army would have to exhaust him to death.

"In exchange for so many people's lives for you to stay and cook for Miss, do you still have complaints? You must know that it is an honor to be able to cook for the young lady. ”

"No, I'm going back to my hometown, so naturally I can't stay for a long time, so don't embarrass me." Lan Xiaoqiu didn't agree.

"Alright, bring them back." The general gave the order, only to see several soldiers rushing in and holding the rope that bound Li Tianba's hands.

"If you promised to let them go, why didn't you say it at the beginning, and now you have additional conditions?" A voice floated in from outside the tent.

Lan Xiaoqiu and the others all looked outside the tent.
