Chapter 322: Meritorious
Bi Gongzi was not difficult to find, but in half an hour, Shi Haoming found out where he lived. Bi Gongzi, Tang Gongzi, and Luo Gongzi live in a small single-family building in the central area of Feiyun City. In order to observe the situation, Shi Haoming deliberately shook in front of the building several times, because the city was very noisy this night, and the avenue in front of the small building was the main street running through the east and west directions of the city, so there were many pedestrians on the road, and Shi Haoming did not attract the attention of the guards of the small building.
The small building has three floors, the ground floor and the middle floor only emit faint lights, while the top floor is brightly lit, you can obviously see a figure shaking in the room, as well as the sound of wine cups and dishes, the sound of noise, it seems that the three sons must be drinking and having fun inside, and the people on the two floors below are undoubtedly guards.
Shi Haoming breathed a sigh of relief, as Marshal Bi, he would definitely not stay in this kind of place. A few guards, with Li Cuiyan's ability, were easily settled. It looks like tonight's mission should be completed without a hitch.
At the same time, in the Xinwang camp, Xiao Tianhe was talking with Marshal Xin.
"You have four happy coming, I am here to congratulate. Marshal Xin smiled.
"How can I bother the marshal to come and congratulate me. Come, drink tea. Xiao Tianhe poured a glass for Marshal Xin.
Marshal Xin burst into another hearty laugh: "Of course I have to come." You let Liang Feilian and Yun Pingping, those two nasty guys both eat up, I'm really very comfortable! Haha! Liang Feilian secretly made a black hand, not only did not kill you, but helped you survive the first tribulation, and also scared the Immortal Clan's Ascendant to admit defeat immediately, it was just perfect! When I report it to the Emperor, the reward is indispensable! This is the first joy!"
Xiao Tianhe didn't care much about the reward, and arched his hand: "Thank you Marshal for your love, but I don't need to alarm the Emperor for this little thing, right? Everything during the game can be described as a coincidence, not so much my credit, but luck." ”
"Hey, why should you be modest? You won the glory for our demon clan and won the bet, of course it is your credit! Tomorrow I will gather people to break ground and build a new city. Several of our marshals have agreed that after the completion of the new city, it will be named 'Tianhe City'! From now on, your name will be engraved in the history of Yuyu Realm together with the new city! This is the second joy!" Marshal Xin stretched out two fingers and shook them.
Xiao Tianhe couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but he won a competition and made such a big move. Now, even if I don't want to be so high-profile, I'm afraid I can't change the result. He had no choice but to say: "Xincheng is really flattered by my name." So what's the second joy?"
"This third joy, I see that you have a good relationship with the three people in the leading team, and it just so happens that they are also going to be transferred, so I will make an exception to transfer the four of you to my direct army, and enjoy three times the income of others forever, how about it?"
"Thank you, Marshal. This is indeed good news for Xiao Tianhe, when changing to an unfamiliar environment, it is good to have acquaintances to take care of each other.
"Fourth, General Yong and the three of them have bet a lot of money on you in the Wanxian Lou gambling game, this time you can be regarded as making a lot of money, but you yourself have nothing, how can this work? I have to give you some reward. "Marshal Xin took out a lilac square card from his sleeve and threw it to Xiao Tianhe.
Xiao Tianhe caught the small card, a cursory look, the size of a palm, the four corners are polished into an arc, like jade but not jade, with a crystal transparent luster, one side is engraved with a big "treasure" word, the other side is a Taiji yin and yang diagram, yang fish yang carving, yin fish yin carving.
"This ......" Xiao Tianhe vaguely felt a hint of fluctuation from the small card, "Is it another magic weapon?"
"Sort of!" replied Marshal Xin, "if you have to buy and sell things when you have a lot of money, you have to trade them in large piles at every turn, which is very inconvenient. So some skilled craftsmen forged this unique thing, which can be counted in the cards with Meng and Yuan two qi, indicating the owner's property. In this way, you can avoid trouble when trading large quantities of money, just use this card to count, when you need money in kind, go to the money bank to exchange it. Now there are 30,000 beads in this bead plate for you to use. ”
"'Pork chops'?" Xiao Tianhe was happy, "It's a pity that you can't eat it." ”
Marshal Xin also smiled and said: "With these 30,000 beads, even if you eat pork chops day and night, it will be enough for you to eat for a while." But now there are no pork chops, but there is a box of meatballs. With that, he took the delicate wooden box at his feet to the table, lifted the lid, and immediately a smell of aroma came to his nose. It turned out that there was a large plate in the box, and there were four meat balls in the plate.
"Four happy meatballs?" Xiao Tianhe recalled a famous dish in the Great Red Realm, which was originally also available in the Yuyu Realm! But if you look closely, it seems that it is not quite the same, and the four meat balls in the plate are different in color, and I believe that the flavor is also different.
"I'm here to congratulate you on the 'Four Joys', how can you miss the famous 'Four Happiness Pills' in Wanxian Lou?" Marshal Xin said, "Do you know which Four Happiness Pills 'Four Happiness Pills' refer to?"
"I remember when I was in the Netherworld, this dish was indispensable on the dinner table of every family during the New Year's holidays. I've loved this dish since I was a child, so I once asked my mother. The four joys should refer to the four blessings, Lu, longevity, and happiness, right? It's a pity...... Since the cultivation of the true valley, it has rarely been tasted. Xiao Tianhe recalled.
"That's right. Wanxian Lou's 'Four Happiness Balls' are wonderful in the ingredients used.
The brown and black one is 'Fu Maru', which is made of bats from the Red Spirit Cave in the East. There are many insects and fruits in the area where the Hongling Cave is located, so the bats in the cave are fat and delicious, and they are carefully cooked by a good chef, which can be called a must.
The one with a pink color is 'Rokumaru', which is taken from venison in the northern Ufang forest. The Wufang forest is cold all year round, tigers, wolves, leopards, foxes are common in the forest, and the deer herd forages and flees in the snow in order to avoid carnivorous beasts, so the meat is strong, tenacious, and the taste is quite good.
The one with the dark green color is 'Shoumaru', which is made from the meat of the Langling Turtle, a rare beast from Chongyu Lake in the west. Chongyu Lake is turbulent and turbulent, and it is rumored that it is caused by the tortoise churning in the water. The turtle should live a long life, and it is worthy of the word 'longevity'.
The one with a sallow color is 'Kimaru', and the meat is the breast of a magpie commonly found in the south. Although magpies are common, not every magpie's breast meat is common
It can be used as ingredients. Magpies are mostly born between May and July, but the meat of this ball is only taken from the young magpies hatched in April, sealed in medicinal wine, and soaked for one year before being made into meatballs. Since the harvesting stops as soon as April passes, it is not easy to make such a large ball.
In addition, this well-cooked dish is not only rare meat, but also the condiments and sauces that are all the secret recipes of Wanxian Lou, so its taste is also first-class. Okay, I'll go back first, and you can taste this 'Four Happiness Balls'!" Marshal Xin gave a detailed explanation, and then left the Xinwang camp with a big smile. Seeing that he praised it so much, I think he should have a soft spot for this dish.
Xiao Tianhe looked at the fragrant dish, and secretly laughed in his heart: "This Marshal Xin is really a strange person, I only knew that he was quite accomplished in the way of painting, and now it seems that he is still an out-and-out gourmet!"
At the moment of the delicacies, Xiao Tianhe naturally couldn't help it, and tasted the four balls separately, and sure enough, as Marshal Xin said, the flavor was unique, very delicious, and it was so delicious that he refused to let it go. While he was tasting, Shi Haoming and the three of them brought back good news, Bi Gongzi's place was not heavily guarded, and the plan should be successful.
After spending the last few hours in the torment of apprehension, Li Cuiyan and Lei Xiaoyan put on their night clothes and set out. They were accompanied by Shi Haoming and He Chongbao. Because it was inconvenient for Xiao Tianhe to show up, and Xinwangying was not a suitable place for interrogation, Shi Haoming and He Chongbao chose a barren hill more than thirty miles northwest of Feiyun City, and let Lei and Li rob Bi Gongzi there.
Following the route described by Shi Haoming, Lei Xiaoyan and Li Cuiyan easily found Xiaolou. The streets that had been noisy all night finally fell silent, and the snow fell in the sky again, and the streets were deserted on winter nights.
The banquet on the top floor of the small building has ended, but the lights on the ground and middle floors are still on. Lei Xiaoyan took a deep breath and was about to climb along the corner of the wall, but was pulled by Li Cuiyan. He whispered, "What's wrong?"
"You are stupid, climbing the wall is very easy to be discovered by the guards, and it is inconvenient to move, aren't you waiting to be caught?" Li Cuiyan said angrily.
"Then what should I do? You don't necessarily have to enter through the gate, right?" Lei Xiaoyan scratched his head, "Hey, by the way, didn't Shi Lao Er tell you to put down the guards?"
Li Cuiyan's eyes widened: "'Shi Lao Er'?
"Of course, who else is surnamed Shi besides him? There is only one 'big brother' in my heart, and I don't want to call him 'Haoming' in a mess, so I thought of a name. Lei Xiaoyan said.
Li Cuiyan laughed and saved Lei Xiaoyan's head: "Brother Shi is so powerful, even if you don't call him 'big brother', you can't let him rank second, aren't you ashamed of this 'Boss Lei'?"
"Who said I was the boss? Of course the boss is Xiao Tianhe, who made us all his subordinates?" Lei Xiaoyan said seriously, "Boss Xiao, Shi Er, I will deign to be Lei Laosan!"
Li Cuiyan shuddered involuntarily: "A few people who are good, how can they look like a gang of bandits and robbers when you call them? Okay, okay, let's get down to business." I'll go over and call the door first, and the three sons will definitely not all get drunk, as long as one of them is sober, it will be much more convenient. You keep watch here, and you start counting in your mind from the moment I enter the door, and when you count to five hundred, you come in quietly. If you hear me crying for help, you rush in, do you understand?"
"No, there are guards to protect you, aren't the three sons and brothers all drunk and drunk?" Lei Xiaoyan shook his head again and again, "I'm not at ease, I want to go in with you!"
Li Cuiyan turned her face blank: "Have you forgotten the promise you made to Brother Shi? Your body shape is not as agile as mine, and it is not easy for the two of them to hide when they act together, if something bad happens, see how I clean you up! You will keep me here and watch the wind! I have my own measure!"
Lei Xiaoyan nodded helplessly.
I saw Li Cuiyan take off her night clothes, revealing the bright gauze inside. She straightened her sideburns, walked lightly to the door, took a deep breath, and knocked softly.
"Who is it?" asked from the building.
"Hello big brother, I am a passerby. The inns in the city were all full today, and I wanted to spend the night on the street, but it snowed. I see that only here is the light on, I wonder if you can let me go in and take shelter for a while?" Li Cuiyan said this in the softest tone in her life, and the people inside didn't know what their reaction was, but Lei Xiaoyan in the corner of the wall already felt half of his body crisp.
"I want to spend the night, this is not the place, let's go!" the people inside seemed unmoved.
"I just need a small area for me to meditate, it's too cold outside. Big brother, you can help me! I can pay for it. Li Cuiyan pretended to be pitiful again, and when she saw it, she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted.
It's a pity that the people inside can't see it, and still refuse: "Let's go spend the night elsewhere, this is not a place where anyone can come in." ”
Lei Xiaoyan stood up "Teng", clenched his fists, and cursed angrily in his heart to the people in the building: "Damn, Yan'er is 'pitiful' like this and still won't let you in, it's really looking for a fight! If you don't let in, you will break in, and when I catch you, I won't clean you up!"
Li Cuiyan glared at Lei Xiaoyan fiercely, made a gesture of pressing down, and forbade Lei Xiaoyan to take another step. Lei Xiaoyan had no choice but to hold his breath and squat down again.
"Big brother, I'm really not a bad person. It's all this time, and the lights are dark everywhere else, where do you let me go?" Li Cuiyan continued to plead.
"I don't care where you go!Wanxian Building, Wochen Building, I don't believe that there is no place for you to stay in the hall!" Maybe he was bored, but the person inside lost his temper, and when he shouted this sentence, he also brought out a female voice.
Lei Xiaoyan covered his mouth and was secretly happy, and said in his heart: "After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be a female bird, no wonder she was so ruthless to my Yan'er......"
"Big ...... Sister, a group of drunkards in the hall of Wanxian Building are drunk and smelly, and a group of men in the hall of Wochen Building are stripped naked, which one do you say I can go?" Li Cuiyan's tone sounded helpless
Extremely. The demon clans in the Meng Zhang realm had all heard about Xiao Tianhe's troubles that night, so she only knew about the situation in the Wochen Building.
"Who is your eldest sister? If you say that you are not allowed to enter, you are not allowed to enter! Don't toast, eat and drink, and if you don't leave, I'm welcome!" The woman inside was really angry.
"Alas, I begged you in a low voice for so long, and you were so merciless...... It's really indifferent, comparable to the harsh winter!" Li Cuiyan sighed.
"What's the matter? What's the noise at such a late hour?" a male voice sounded in the building, although the voice was so faint that it was almost inaudible, but it still floated into Li Cuiyan's ears. "Okay, there's a show!" Li Cuiyan showed a smug smile, she had spent so long talking just to lure one of the three sons out. If you can induce the people in the building to take the initiative to open the door and welcome her in, it is far easier than forcibly breaking in.
Lei Xiaoyan secretly gave Li Cuiyan a thumbs up, the man who could talk to the guards in such a tone must be one of the three sons, so it was in line with Li Cuiyan's guess: the three should not all be drunk.
I only heard the female guard in the building reply: "Bi Gongzi, there is an unknown woman outside who wants to spend the night......"
"Ha, God help me!" Li Cuiyan was overjoyed, and hurriedly repeated the lie she had made up aloud before the female guard could finish speaking.
Bi Gongzi really took the bait, and ordered the guards: "It's just a girl who has nowhere to spend the night, why do you have to make it difficult?
"Bi Gongzi, it's been four days, and it is inevitable that someone will suddenly want to spend the night. To be on the safe side, it's better to refuse!" the guard hesitated.
"This is Feiyun City, I'm just here to participate in the evaluation competition, and I haven't made any enemies, what are you afraid of?
"Our responsibility is to protect the three sons, and it is out of prudence that we have to do this......"
Li Cuiyan wanted to capture the old man at the right time: "That's it, son, you don't have to be angry. My mother said, 'Pingshui Meeting' also depends on 'fate', everyone can gather in the same city, and I came to spend the night, which is considered 'fate', but it is a pity that your subordinates are regarded as wicked people, and I am not allowed to enter, which is considered fate and 'no share'! Anyway, after a few more hours, the sky will be light, and I will leave immediately, so as not to hurt the harmony of your master and servant. A few words were spoken softly, and it was heartbreaking.
The timing, tone, voice, and wording of the speech simply shocked Lei Xiaoyan to the point that he had nothing to say, and he only had the word admiration in his heart. Li Cuiyan really deserves to be a demon fox, and she has done a great job!
Where could the frivolous Bi Gongzi withstand such a temptation, and personally went down the stairs to open the door. Hearing the footsteps going down the stairs inside and the dissuasion of the guards, Li Cuiyan covered her mouth and smiled, and nodded at Lei Xiaoyan, who hurriedly hid in the dark shadow in the corner.
A candle flame came from far and near, stopping on the other side of the door. "Bi Gongzi, if you really want to open the door, let your subordinates do it for you!"
"Why don't you open it soon?" Bi Gongzi scolded.
The door opened gently, and Li Cuiyan was about to go inside, but was stopped by the female guard's outstretched arm. The woman poked her head out, looked at both sides of the street, and went out again, looking up at the eaves, and found nothing unusual.
"Can I go in?" Li Cuiyan asked, turning around.
"Girl, come in, it's freezing outside, hurry in and get warm. Bi Gongzi came out and took a look at Li Cuiyan by candlelight, Li Cuiyan also looked up at Bi Gongzi, those eyes were like autumn water, his face was like peach blossoms, and although the green silk was a little messy, it added a bit of sadness. After looking at each other, Li Cuiyan hurriedly avoided her eyes in a panic, lowered her head and uneasily arranged the broken hair on her sideburns and ears, and slightly pursed her cherry lips, looking ashamed.
What a girl I feel sorry for! Li Cuiyan's charm is so powerful even when she hasn't met, let alone after seeing her face! A few shy expressions and movements have already confused Bi Gongzi.
Bi Gongzi hurriedly shouted into the building: "You guys go and make the fire on the second floor hot, heat up all the wine and food, and then go boil some hot water!"
Li Cuiyan smiled, in the eyes of Bi Gongzi, she was simply lovely and beautiful. In addition, she spit lightly: "Childe, thank you, you are so good!" Bi Gongzi was afraid that his soul would also be hooked.
"What are you doing outside, come in and plug in the door!" Bi Gongzi shouted angrily to the female guard outside the house. It's no wonder that if he hadn't heard the movement and went downstairs in time, he would have almost missed a good opportunity to meet a beautiful woman by the guards, and Bi Gongzi would have been annoyed.
The innocent guard, who was reprimanded for his duty, sighed helplessly when he saw the backs of Bi Gongzi and Li Cuiyan disappear at the corner of the stairs.
Another male guard walked out and comforted the female guard, "Childe loves beautiful women, and this is also something that can't be helped." The woman is alone, there shouldn't be any problems, let's just keep an eye on it. ”
The female guard shook her head and whispered: "As the saying goes: 'Heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass', but who knows, in fact, 'bears' are even more sad." Although it is said that he did not listen to the dissuasion, and the responsibility is not ours, if something really goes wrong, how can Marshal Bi spare us? I think that a prodigal and frivolous person like Bi Gongzi will sooner or later be buried in the hands of a woman. ”
"Shhh
The woman sighed again: "I always feel that there is something wrong with that woman...... Let's take it one step at a time!" she followed the building, and the door closed again.
Seeing that Bi Gongzi had a light meaning for his beloved Yan'er, Lei Xiaoyan hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, and he secretly said in his heart: "Heh, you don't have to wait for that 'sooner or later', tonight you have to let this shameless prodigal son drink a good 'pot'!"
