In the capital, in the suburbs.

After watering the potato seedlings, Yang Tinghe sat in the ground again, looked at them carefully, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that these green shoots were very cute, and he wished that they would be able to produce potatoes immediately.

Shen Qingshan and Yang Wenxuan stayed next to him, after someone wanted to break in at the beginning, and after Lu Shen wanted to bring someone in to search for the thief without success, several people were nervous for a while, and they always felt that they still had a trick.

But after a few days, there was no movement outside, and the three of them gradually relaxed, Shen Qingshan had already completed all the official documents he brought when he came in, and the new official documents outside could not be sent in for the time being, but they seemed to have nothing to do.

Yang Tinghe also quickly realized the situation in front of him, and after the initial emotion passed, he complained about them a little.

"If the two of you are not at ease, it is enough for one person to come in, at least one person must be left outside to deal with the official affairs of Sinong Temple, and I don't know how much official business we will accumulate after staying inside for a few days."

Shen Qingshan and Yang Wenxuan scratched their heads and smiled, they really didn't think so much at that time, Sinong Temple was in charge of finances, and it was still more important, but the forbidden army outside couldn't make sense, saying that they would not allow official documents to be sent in, and the three of them could only wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come back.

Especially Yang Wenxuan, when he was free, he began to miss the immortals in his paintings, and he knew that he was all locked up, so he might as well go into the prince's mansion and find Zu Lifei.

In the Prince's Mansion, he can still stay with the fairy in the painting, and now he can only accompany two big men here every day, as well as potato seedlings in one place.

"Lord Yang, we have always heard that the potatoes that grow can be eaten, Brother Shen has seen you cook potatoes in front of the Prince's Mansion before, but I have never seen them, I am really curious, why don't you do it, and make it for me to taste."

Shen Qingshan was also curious, he had indeed seen the people eating potatoes at that time, but he didn't eat them, he was very shocked at the time, the potatoes looked gray on the outside, there were several ways to do it, to be honest, he also wanted to taste it, but he knew that this thing was precious, so he didn't dare to speak.

Yang Tinghe looked at the two of them fixedly, but he was a little embarrassed to look at the two of them.

"You two really dare to think that even the prince has never eaten a few bites of this potato, and you two boys are not coming in to help me, but they are hungry and want to taste it."

The two of them laughed, and when they heard this, it seemed that Lord Yang was not angry.

Yang Tinghe really led them to a locked room, opened it and saw that there were several boxes inside, and the boxes were full of potatoes, he picked and chose inside, took two small ones and walked out, and then locked the door again.

"No matter what you say, you've been with me for so many days, so I'll let you taste the potatoes."

He set up a fire and divided the two small potatoes into several portions, and he decided to cook each one differently, and it was soon ready, and several people could already smell the aroma.

"It is rumored in the outside world that this is a seed given by the gods of heaven to His Royal Highness the Prince, and eating it can strengthen the body, and many can also prolong life, I don't know if it's true or not."

This kind of statement is naturally false, outsiders don't know, Yang Tinghe is clear, the potatoes were brought back by His Royal Highness from the Dayue Clan, but the Wu Dynasty and the Western Regions had almost no contact before, and there was little communication between them, so naturally it was not clear that there were such things in the rest of the territory, no wonder the dynasties came down from generation to generation, and the emperors of the Central Plains liked to attack the Western Regions, where it was indeed like a paradise, with treasures that everyone could not imagine.

However, the crown prince obviously took another path, even if he did not attack the Western Regions and opened a trade route, he could also attract things from the Western Regions, which would be a good thing for both the Wu Dynasty and the Western Regions.

Yang Wenxuan and Shen Qingshan tentatively picked up the potatoes on the plate, the two of them observed for a while, this should be boiled in water, and tasted it tentatively, it was a very novel taste, they were sure that they had never eaten anything with a similar taste before.

The two tried something else, and confirmed that the potatoes were edible and delicious.

The three of them were eating potatoes, talking and laughing, and they seemed very harmonious, but at this moment, the sound of swords sounded outside again, and they only heard the forbidden army shouting inside.

"There are thieves invading again, and the three adults must protect the potato seedlings."

The three of them didn't dare to delay, they immediately picked up something that could be called a weapon in the courtyard, and guarded the door, the last time the bandits came, they were beaten away by the forbidden army, it was because there were not enough of them, this time they listened to the movement outside the house, obviously there were more people coming, and they heard the sound of swords colliding closer and closer to them, and it seemed that they were about to rush to the courtyard, and the three of them suddenly became nervous.

The thieves did not break in as expected, but threw something into the courtyard, and the three of them looked intently, and saw that what they threw at them was actually a wine jar, and the wine jar fell to the ground, and immediately shattered, and the contents were spilled.

Yang Tinghe took two steps forward, smelled the smell, and immediately changed his face.

"Oh no, they're throwing fire oil into the yard, they're trying to set us on fire."

Shen Qingshan and Yang Wenxuan were also taken aback, where had they seen such a scene, and they immediately panicked and didn't know what to do.

Outside was still throwing wine jars into the courtyard, and those hot oil was already flowing all over the courtyard, and some even almost smashed on the three of them, but fortunately, Yang Tinghe was quick and pulled the two away.

"You must not get touched by this oil, if you encounter a little flame, our lives will not be guaranteed."

Yang Wenxuan was already panicked, Shen Qingshan was still a little calm at this time, even though his face was already pale, his hands couldn't help trembling, and he asked in a low voice.

"Lord Yang, they couldn't break through last time, but now they have come up with such a shady method, he is going to set fire to the potato seedlings, we can't stop it at all, what should we do?"

Yang Tinghe made a quick decision.

"You go to your room and take out all the quilts and throw them in the water tank and let the quilts get covered with water, and you have to protect yourself as much as you can, and then you go and take care of these potato seedlings."

Shen Qingshan was stunned for a moment, he was indeed flustered, but he was indeed smart, and he had already heard something abnormal from Yang Tinghe's words.

"Lord Yang, what about you? We are all together, you must also protect your life, stay in the green mountains, and not be afraid of running out of firewood. ”

Yang Tinghe didn't explain much, and pushed the two of them into the room, his potatoes were more important than his own life, but he couldn't let others lose their lives here, especially those two descendants, they were both malleable talents and the future pillars of the Wu Dynasty.

He was staring closely at the direction outside the courtyard, these thieves were really thieves.
