"A thief?"

Fang Xu frowned, and said with some suspicion, "Not to mention that Zeng Tianya and Yun Heng are guarding the gate, there is still Ye Ming outside our Chengyuan, what kind of thief can break in?" ”

Su Zi raised his hand and pointed outside, and whispered, "But there is a light in the small kitchen, it can't be Ye Ming who sneaked in and ate secretly, right?" ”

Seeing that Su Zi was afraid, Fang Xu stepped on his shoes, pulled off a coat and draped it on his body, walked to the window, and looked at her fingertips.

Seeing the light in the small kitchen, Fang Xu's face was slightly gloomy, and he said softly, "You go and find Bai Ji and find out who is inside." ”

Su Zi nodded hurriedly and whispered, "Yes, Madam can hide, don't go out!" ”

After instructing Fang Xu, Su Zi tiptoed open the door and walked towards the ear room next door in the dark.

Bai Ji, who was sleeping soundly, was shaken up by Su Zi, looked at her sleepily, and asked, "In the middle of the night, are you sleepwalking?" ”

Su Zi angrily punched her, lowered his voice and said, "Stupid woman, go to the small kitchen and take a look, there is a light inside, maybe you are a thief!" ”

"Who's a good thief who puts the treasury and doesn't steal it, and steals the kitchen?" Bai Ji was not awake yet, so he prevaricated casually, "Eighty percent is that Ye Ming was hungry in the middle of the night, so he went in to rummage and eat." ”

Seeing that she was drowsy, Su Zi held his breath and dragged her up from the bed with force, "How could Ye Ming be such a person?" Madame ordered you to pass, if you are not happy, I am afraid that you will be punished! ”

Hearing that it was Mrs. calling him, Bai Ji regained a trace of his senses, pinched the root of his thigh hard, barely sobered up, quickly got up and put on his clothes, and walked out on tiptoe with Su Zi.

They were more like thieves than the people in the kitchen.

Out of the ear room, Bai Ji saw his wife standing in front of the window, the moonlight shining on her, and her face was white and terrifying.

Bai Ji was taken aback, and covered his mouth hard so that he didn't exclaim.

Fang Xu frowned slightly, and when he saw her come out, he raised his chin in the direction of the small kitchen.

Bai Ji understood, bent down to lift his pants, and pulled out the dagger tied to his calf, the moonlight fell, and the tip of the knife shone cold.

Bai Ji slowed down his steps, looked cold, and walked lightly towards the small kitchen.

Su Zi also followed behind her, but in a different direction, her target was Ye Ming, who was on duty outside the door.

I don't know how many thieves there are, secretly call Ye Ming, Bai Ji will have a better chance of winning.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Bai Ji slipped behind the window and gently opened the window, and before she could see the appearance inside, a cold light flashed.

Bai Ji's heart sank, he sensed that something was wrong, and fled instantly.

The next moment, a long sword pierced the window paper, and even if Bai Ji dodged quickly, it almost slid her face.

The person who came was not good, it was definitely not Ye Ming.

Bai Ji straightened his face, clenched the dagger, and quickly rushed to another window, pushed open the window, and turned in.

The long sword followed, there was a cabinet behind him, and there was no way out, Bai Ji gritted his teeth, blocked it with a dagger, and his palms were numb.

The man seemed to be a little interested, and his skills were clearly above Bai Ji, but he didn't move to kill, as if he was deliberately teasing her.

Bai Ji gritted his teeth, and tried his best to make moves, but he was still in the inferior position.

After two breaths, the door to the small kitchen was pushed open.

Ye Ming pushed the door in, and happened to see Bai Ji fighting with the thief, his face suddenly turned cold, he flashed to the board, picked up the kitchen knife, and joined the battle.

With one enemy and two enemies, the man was still at ease, and he didn't take the two of them in his eyes at all.

When Fang Xu arrived, the man was holding the long sword across Bai Zhi's neck, and Ye Ming took advantage of his unpreparedness and swung it at his forearm with a kitchen knife.

The man was injured and in pain, and his hand holding the sword shook.

"Stop!"

Fang Xu snorted coldly and stopped the movements of the three people present.

The three of them were stunned and turned their heads to look at Fang Xu.

Through the moonlight, Fang Xu also saw the appearance of the man.

It was the strange old man who stole chicken legs in the back mountain of Deyang Guan.

“…… It's you? Fang Xu looked at the long sword on Bai Ji's shoulder, his brows furrowed into a dead knot, and said coldly, "Tell me your conditions, as long as I can let her go, I will meet them." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then blinked his eyes, ignored the pain in his arm, and asked in a low voice, "Really?" ”

Fang Xu bowed his head and stared at the long sword, "Naturally, I will do what I say." ”

"Madame......" Bai Ji had tears in his eyes, and he regretted it in his heart, only hating himself for not practicing kung fu well, so that Madame was blackmailed by this thief.

"Tell me how to make the chicken thighs delicious."

When the words landed, everyone except the old man was stunned.

“…… That's all? Fang Xu couldn't believe it, and asked in a low voice, "You're not here to steal something?" ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this, looked around, frowned and asked, "What is worth stealing?" ”

"I just heard what you said today, and I thought I'd come over and see what you have to eat." The old man withdrew his sword, pointed to the plate on the table, and said in a low voice, "There are two roast pigeons there, and they taste good." ”

Fang Xu looked at his fingertips, his brows furrowed even tighter, "That'...... It's leftovers. ”

The old man ignored Fang Xu's words and stared straight at her, as if he had to wait for a recipe.

Fang Xu looked back, his gaze inadvertently swept over the jade pendant tied around the old man's waist, his eyes deepened, "I'm just talking nonsense, I don't know anything about cooking, the house has always been a cook." ”

Hearing this, the old man's face instantly sank, and he clenched the hilt of his sword and said nothing.

Seeing that his face was dark and terrifying, Fang Xu was silent and asked softly, "The chef in the house has good skills, he has been an imperial chef since his ancestors, why don't you let you taste his other dishes tomorrow?" ”

Fang Xu's words reached the old man's ears, and his face instantly turned cloudy and clear, "Really? ”

Fang Xu bowed his head and said in a flat tone, "Before that, I have to treat your wounds first." ”

As soon as these words came out, the old man remembered the injury on his arm, and looked down to see that blood was seeping out, "No need, this little injury is not in the way." ”

Fang Xu was expressionless, looked at him coldly, and said in a low voice, "Maybe you've heard of tetanus?" ”

The old man was stunned and tilted his head to look at her, his eyes full of confusion.

Fang Xu sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, "Bai Ji, go open the door of the Medicine Pavilion." ”

Bai Ji glanced at the old man, exchanged glances with Ye Ming, and turned to leave.

Fang Xu looked at him and motioned for him to follow Ye Ming, his tone was cold, "Follow him to the lobby, I'll give you medicine." ”

"No, you don't." The old man refused in a deep voice, with a straight face, which was really a bit terrifying.

"If you still want to live, don't talk nonsense." Fang Xu glanced at him, and his tone was not good.

The old man paused, and although he was not convinced, he still raised his foot and followed behind Ye Ming.

Not for anything else, just for tomorrow's chicken legs.

Fang Xu looked at his back and called in a low voice, "Prince Rong." ”

The old man didn't stop, he didn't even look back, as if he hadn't heard Fang Xu's voice at all.

Seeing that he didn't respond to himself, Fang Xu hooked his lips and smiled, laughing at his stupidity.

A dignified prince, how could he bend his waist for a chicken leg?
