After not having to go to the stable to shovel dung, Yang Ruoning and Handan Chun often met in a no-man's place to discuss their plans in the name of finding herbs for the shaman's mother-in-law.

Yang Ruoning named the coup "Operation Black", which is also their code.

But it was a secret plan, but in fact, the two of them didn't have any clue, they just sat on the grass every day, watching Blake graze, and lying down to enjoy the bright sunshine of late spring.

Yang Ruoning didn't know how to help Handan Chun get the throne. At first, she actively thought about some assassination methods that she had seen on TV or movies, but these methods either required her or Handan Chun to quickly practice peerless martial arts, or required a lot of high-tech equipment. She proposed to the shaman's mother-in-law to give her a month to go back to Youzhou City to get some things, but the shaman's mother-in-law refused, probably because she was afraid that she would not come back once she left.

"Let's poison it," Yang Ruoning said to Handan Chun looking at the blue sky without a trace of clouds.

"Do you know about poisons?"

"I don't know, doesn't the shaman have a lot of bottles and jars of herbs? She should know, right? ”

"If the shaman's mother-in-law could, she would have done it a long time ago, and would she still kneel down and beg you?"

"That's just as well."

"So you're really a god?"

"Of course not, how can I be a god? We're there...... It's not fundamentally different from here. ”

"I don't think you're either, if you were a god, you wouldn't steal the tribute at night and eat it."

"By the way, do you have any good ideas?" Yang Ruoning brought the topic back.

In fact, Handan Chun is not interested in 'Operation Black', his dream is to go to Bianliang to be a wanderer, let him be a khan, it is really a bit of a duck to put on the shelf. But he seemed to know that it might be his destiny, that he should be responsible, so he chose to appoint.

"You know that there is no conflict between being a khan and going to Bianliang, you can become a khan first, after all, you can do whatever you want when you become a king; Then we will go to Bianliang together, I will take you to Fanlou to drink flower wine, and go to the Bianhe River at night to see the lanterns. Perhaps, because you are a khan, you will be invited by the emperor of Da Song to take a look at the palace," Yang Ruoning comforted him.

He lazily replied, "That's what you said, don't pat yourself on the ass and walk away when the deadline is up." ”

"Whether it works out or not, we can leave together."

"Alas, I don't know. The practice went. He stood up, took his spear, and went to the side to practice martial arts. Yang Ruoning heard his broken thoughts sent from the spring breeze, "Yang Ruoning, a stupid woman, knows that she has nothing to do......"

****************************************

In the evening, Ah Da, who was selling goods, came with the Han people who came from Da Song. Yang Ruoning saw Blake when he was sending him back to the stable. The man was a new face, and Yang Ruoning had never seen it before. He was tall, but wore a strange silver mask. Yang Ruoning saw that his eyes were very bright when he was hidden under the mask.

When Yang Ruoning saw him, he was leading the horse in. The moment he saw Yang Ruoning, his figure paused.

Yang Ruoning smiled politely at him and left the stable.

As she walked towards the tent, she thought that Handan Chun said that he asked Ah Da to buy a new martial arts cheat last time, and she didn't know if Ah Da had bought it, so she had to go and take a look.

Handan Chun is not there. Yang Ruoning thought that she was going to take her and Handan Chun's sheets to the river to wash them today, so she went over to clean up Handan Chun's sleeper.

When she ripped off Handan Chun's sheets, she brought out several books along with her. She bent down and picked up the books. She saw that the names of those books had two words in them that she recognized, "Luo Yuan." Yang Ruoning picked up a book and flipped through it, it was full of words, she couldn't understand it, so she put the book back again.

Why did Handan Chun hide the book about Luo Yuan under the bed, Yang Ruoning was a little puzzled.

Ha, could it be that Handan Chun likes Luo Yuan? Yang Ruoning thought about it, and was actually happy. This kid, if you like men, just say it? Why lie to her and say that she wants to go to Bianliang to see the flower girl?

Yang Ruoning came back from washing the sheets by the river and pulled up the rope behind the tent to dry the washed leaflets, and she found a new tent set up next to their tent.

"Yang Ruoning," Handan Chun called her from afar. Yang Ruoning walked out from behind the sheets, and she found that Handan Chun had come back with the man in the mask.

"This is Ah Jing, he lives next to us these days."

After Yang Ruoning said hello to the man, she hurriedly pulled Handan Chun into the tent.

She asked Handan Chunxin if she had bought it back. Handan Chun said no, Ah Da said that with his few broken silvers, it would take a long time, a lot of strength and a lot of shit luck to buy the real martial arts cheats.

Yang Ruoning sighed, it's okay, the martial arts cheats are not reliable. Then she turned around and asked, "Do you know the masked man?" ”

"Yes, his real name is Su Jingren, he has been to the tribe a few times before, he is my teacher, and he taught me how to read and write Chinese characters."

"Why is he wearing a mask?"

"When he was a child, his home caught fire and was disfigured."

"Oh, and he gave you these books too?" Yang Ruoning pointed to the books on his bed and asked.

"Ah, these ah, I bought them from Ah Da."

"What kind of books are these?"

"Well, it's a folk script, 'The Temptation of a Beautiful Man', 'General Luo's Romantic Affairs', 'Luo Yuan and Miss Bai's Encounter on the Basket Bridge', 'Luofu Affair'......" Handan Chun pointed to those books and said to Yang Ruoning.

Yang Ruoning has never had such a strong desire to learn Chinese characters and read through these books.

"Handan Chun, you teach me to read and write."

"I'm busy practicing martial arts, why don't I let Ah Jing teach you."

Yang Ruoning refused, she instinctively was wary of the person who covered her face.

But Handan Chun said, "Okay, I'll find time to teach you," while muttering, "Chinese characters are difficult to learn, you stupid woman can't do it," and went to the tent next door. Yang Ruoning shouted behind him, "Don't forget the events of the night." ”

*****************************************

Yang Ruoning waited under the sacred tree for a long time at night before she saw Handan Chun coming slowly. Yang Ruoning just wanted to ask him why it was so late, when she suddenly saw a figure walking out from behind.

The masked man again.

Yang Ruoning frowned slightly. She was obviously unfriendly to the man who suddenly broke in. On the other hand, Handan Chun excitedly talked about his experience this afternoon. It turned out that the two of them had gone hunting in the distant steppe in the afternoon. It can be seen that Handan Chun likes this Ah Jing very much.

Ah Jing carried a few processed rabbits, skillfully dressed them with wooden sticks, and roasted them on the fire. Yang Ruoning took advantage of his busy work, quietly pulled Handan Chun aside, lowered his voice and asked Handan Chun why he brought the stranger here.

"How is Ah Jing a stranger? He is my master. ”

"Do you know what we're going to do here? No one can be involved except the two of us. ”

"If you don't say it, if I don't say it, how will he know?"

"Are you a fool? Don't we need to negotiate a plan of action? ”

"Mother-in-law said that the prophecy is the method you have come up with, so you don't need to consult with me. If you think about it, just go back to the tent and tell me quietly. Handan Chun patted Yang Ruoning's shoulder, walked over and sat next to Ah Jing.

Yang Ruoning stopped talking, she squinted at Handan Chun who was chattering with Ah Jing on the other side with some resentment, and squinted her eyes as a warning when the masked man threw a suspicious look at her.

The rabbit was still roasting, but the masked man pulled out a paper bag from his bosom. When the oiled paper is opened layer by layer, a few delicate pieces of snack inside are revealed.

This dim sum from the south is a rarity here. As soon as Handan Chun saw it, he cheered, "Is it lotus paste cake, Ah Jing?" “

Ah Jing nodded, put the dim sum in the middle, and motioned for her and Handan Chun to eat.

Yang Ruoning hesitated, not knowing whether to eat it or not. She thought it was best not to eat food from strangers, but she hadn't eaten a bite of sweets for more than half a year, and those lotus paste cakes looked too tempting, and Handan Chun had eaten them all, and she shouldn't have a problem eating a few pieces. After several struggles of thought, in the end her appetite prevailed over reason.

After a while, the bag of dim sum bottomed out, and only the last piece was left.

Yang Ruoning and Handan Chun stared at each other, as if they wanted to divide the winner through the eye war, and neither of them would give up this last piece to the other party.

Finally, Yang Ruoning sighed, "Let's have a game, shall we?" “

Handan Chun raised his chin, "Okay, what game?" “

"More miserable than anyone's life."

"Huh?"

"Of course, I have to give this last piece of dessert to the most miserable thing in my life."

"Okay, what's the comparison?"

"One person, one sentence, I'll come first," Yang Ruoning thought for a moment, "I have lactose intolerance." ”

"What kind of disease is this?"

"I can't eat ice cream."

"What is ice cream?"

"It's the most popular dessert of summer in our area."

"Hmph, what's this, I was weak when I was a child, and I was constantly sick and sick, and my shaman's mother-in-law said that if I survived, it would be a big life."

"I've had four boyfriends, and two of them cheated behind my back. I don't believe in the relationship between men and women anymore, because it's a ghost story. ”

"I'm 16 years old, but I'm still a virgin, and I haven't experienced the relationship between a man and a woman, and then someone just cruelly told me that the relationship between men and women is not credible."

Okay, you are ruthless, Handan Chun, but I have decided to eat this pastry today. Yang Ruoning said, "I lost my parents when I was 18 years old......

“…… I didn't have my parents when I was a child, and the only relative I had a blood relationship with was Handan Aqi! ”

Good boy, for a piece of pastry? It seems that there is going to be a killer move, Yang Ruoning thought.

"I'm already married, but after only a few months of marriage, my groom knocked me unconscious and had traffickers sell me here!"

The words were amazing, Handan Chun was stunned when he heard this, "Yang Ruoning, I don't know ......"

"You never asked me," She snatched the pastry from his hand when Handan Chun let go, "I won, my life is more miserable, hahaha......"

The laughter was followed by an awkward silence.

Yang Ruoning's gaze swept over the masked man sitting on the other side of the fire. The firelight danced in his silver mask, shimmering brightly.

The man hung his head down, unable to see his eyes.

He just sat quietly on the side and didn't say a word while she was arguing with Handan Chun.

Yang Ruoning's intuition told her that this masked man seemed to be very difficult.
