Volume 1 Chaowailang Chapter 11 The Cold Hall Warm Fire Boiler
After the commotion in the hall stopped, Tang Li asked His Highness's people: I remember that there is a deputy hall master in the flower hall, right?"
A middle-aged woman in palace clothes knelt down on one knee and reported, "My subordinate Hua Baiyu is the deputy hall master of the flower hall." ”
"Well, Hua Baiyu is not good enough, you are called 'Hua' now, what do you think?"
Tang Li turned his head to look at the movie, and the shadow took out the new Huatang token from his arms and threw it with internal force, and the white jade was the new "flower" and took the sign steadily, and thanked Tang Li excitedly. Tang Li waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me, you have to thank the Shadow Lord for agreeing." ”
"My lord, your arrangement is good, and your subordinates will definitely implement it conscientiously. Shadow was still surprised by the power of the sword, and subconsciously said.
After the new hall master took the token, he silently glanced at the shadow, retreated to the sides and stood no longer talking. Looking at the previous flower hall master who had died and the other deputy hall master, Hua Baiyu inevitably felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, alas, if the shadow master could ......
Tang Li didn't pay any more attention to this, and waited until Hua Baiyu stood up again, then moved his gaze back to His Royal Highness, and slowly spoke: "The eldest lord went out to seek an opportunity to break the way, it is estimated that he will come back in the next two years, and he will be managed by me for the time being." Of course, I know that you may think that I am moody, but as long as you are honest and follow the rules, I will naturally not care about you. Of course, if you don't want to be a lackey, you can give it a try, I still have a few knives in hand. ”
After Tang Li finished speaking, he glanced at the position of a few eyeshadows, intentionally or unintentionally, and the shadows remained motionless like a piece of wood.
Only when I heard that the eldest lord would come back in the next two years, Ying and Zheng both trembled slightly, and they didn't know if they were excited or what. The shadow of the famous tree, when the senior brother is there, the killing is even more decisive, after all, if you don't agree with each other, it is the temper of the sword cultivator.
However, Tang Li didn't know the return date of the senior brother and the second senior sister. However, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, he still does it handy, Tang Li's heart sighed silently, mortals can only act like this, if his imperial sword is still in hand, how can he say this and that to this group of people? Looking at the palace gate, Tang Li's eyes are leisurely, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. With a wave of his hand, he motioned for everyone to stand back.
"Zheng" bowed to Tang Li, and then followed everyone out, leaving only Ying and Tang Li, who were in the hall.
"Lord, are you here to borrow something, or are you really willing to lead this group of rough people to find a chance to live?" Shadow's voice sounded behind Tang Li.
"What would you do if I talked to you about some dreams at this time, and said that I would lead you to a more brilliant tomorrow?" Tang Li didn't turn his head, just sat like that and waited for Ying's answer.
"Then if I fight for this old life, I will also kill the lord. Ying said without thinking, after all, the lord is so young, if the person who comes is a stunned young man, and only knows that if he uses the ability to listen to the ground, his brothers will only die more, although he wants to sit in that position, but he doesn't want to end up alone.
Tang Li smiled and didn't answer, but turned his head to the shadow and said, "My heart, the ground can't tolerate it, how about making a deal?"
"Three months, be my subordinate for three months, and I will hand over the brand of the senior brother to you. I know that many of the secret treasures in the ground need this thing to open, don't worry, I will only take some of the things, what do you think?" Tang Liqi asked with a smile.
Seeing that Ying was silent, Tang Li looked into Ying's eyes, "I know what you want, the cultivation manual left by Senior Brother, I left it for you, should be enough for you to break through that layer of realm, you see, how about it? Anyway, the Great Dao Road is not short of these three months." ”
"The lord is a good means. Shadow sighed.
"I've won a prize, I'm going to send a pot of bar ...... for me"
The third prince, Li Zeyuan, was very surprised that someone sent a pot of wine to the prince's mansion, and only named "the three princes' old friends gave each other", and left without saying anything. Li Zeyuan was full of questions, picked up the wine and smelled it, heh, Longyu wine! Then he smiled and called the housekeeper to come: "Steward Zhang, someone will come to me for a drink tonight, go and let the kitchen prepare a few side dishes." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. Steward Zhang replied respectfully, wondering who would make His Royal Highness the Prince so happy.
Let's talk about Tang Li's side-
As a coachman, Ying went to the Three Princes' Mansion with Tang Li, who sat in the royal car of this former elder brother, savoring the taste of dragon jade wine. Thinking back to the moment when Ying told himself the true identity of "Zheng", he really surprised himself, Senior Brother, what do you want to do? How could you infiltrate the Chu State like this? The "Flower" that was killed by himself should have reached the middle stage of Lingxi, and the cultivation of the first few people under Senior Brother will definitely not be weak.
Fortunately, the senior brother was good enough to himself, and the sword he left behind directly removed the "flower". Recalling that scene, Tang Li's back was still cold, if he hadn't listened to these people in shock, a brand, would he really want to give orders?
When he arrived at the prince's mansion, Tang Lifu put on his hat and got out of the car, waiting for the people from the prince's mansion to inform him of his request. Tang Li was still looking at the tall and majestic stone lion in front of the prince's mansion, and thought to himself how good it would be to move a few back to the gate of the village when he had time, and the old face of the master must have bloomed. As soon as his eyes turned, he saw that the housekeeper took the initiative to greet Tang Li.
Steward Zhang said to the guest who His Highness said that he must receive well: "Childe, Your Highness has prepared a dinner in the hall and is waiting for Childe to come." ”
Tang Lifu snorted and followed Steward Zhang into the Prince's Mansion. When he came to the hall, he saw the third prince sitting on the main seat, and when he saw Tang Li, he beckoned him to come over and eat together, hot pot.
I saw a relatively large pot in the middle of the table where the three princes were sitting, surrounded by beef slices, pork rolls, lamb's tendons, sausages, fresh shrimp, and many meat dishes that they couldn't name, while vegetarian dishes were mainly lettuce, kelp slices, white radish slices, coriander, and some herbs from more than ten years, which were dazzling.
Tang Li looked at Li Zeyuan, who was sweating profusely from shabu-shabu, took off his hat, sat down with a smile and took the long chopsticks handed over by Steward Zhang, unceremoniously picked up the ripe meat, blew it and put it in his mouth, well! This beef is very tender!
The two had a tacit understanding and did not speak.
The three princes spread out a piece of lettuce, put on the beef and shrimp that were nearly ripe, rolled it up by hand, rolled it into a ball and then dipped it in the old sauce made by the people, and ate it in one bite, the fragrance of the lettuce was mixed with the freshness of the beef that had just been soaked, plus the shrimp meat in the river, the combination of the original fragrant three and the old sauce made the three princes squint their eyes.
Tang Li's appearance couldn't help but smile when he saw the third prince, took a sip of warm wine, put the coriander into the boiling clear soup and soaked the branches and leaves, and took it out and ate it directly, without any sauce. It's delicious.
Seeing that the soup in the pot continued to decrease, the housekeeper instructed the servant to add the soup several times, and Tang Li and the third prince did not say anything, the two were just talking about how different meats should be soaked to make them delicious, and for beef, both of them liked it very much, and the kitchen had already served beef three times, and found that it was still a little unable to keep up with the speed of eating the two, especially when there was only a piece of beef left in the pot, Steward Zhang found that this Tang Gongzi did not humble His Royal Highness, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened. And the third prince laughed and scolded Tang Li, put down the piece of meat, and let him come.
After eating for about two hours, the third prince took a silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his head, and said to Tang Li, who was sitting opposite: "Life has been really hard in those years, and the only fun is to buy good ingredients and make hot pot at home, and I dare not go out to eat things outside, for fear that one day, I will not be able to come back." However, it is also very happy to have Qiao Niang carefully cut the size of the meat and vegetables for me to taste well. ”
Tang Lixi ate a piece of ripe white radish, which was soft and rotten, transparent as jade, and then drank a sip of clear soup, feeling refreshed. Listening to Li Zeyuan talk about Qiao Niang, Tang Li thought for a while and said, "Well, since Your Highness likes it, why don't you take her to the Prince's Mansion?"
Li Zeyuan listened to Tang Li's words, and his tone suddenly became cold, "I, when did I say that Qiao Niang was not around?" Indeed, because of some things, he secretly transferred his beloved woman to other places, but he did it so secretly, how could Tang Lifu know?
Tang Lishabu put some hairy belly in the spicy pot, the chopsticks kept stirring in the pot, and he smiled and didn't speak.
"Tang Li, I'll ask you!" Li Zeyuan slapped the table and shouted.
"Listen, it's mine. "Tang Li's got straight to the point.
"Plus, I can save her, if you can trust her. After that, Tang Lixi picked up the hairy belly, dipped it in sauce and put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully. After swallowing the ripe delicacy, Tang Li took out the wooden sign with the word "ups and downs" from his sleeve and threw it to the third prince.
The third prince picked up the wooden card and looked at it for a while, looking straight at Tang Li, "You, do you really have a way to save Qiao Niang?"
Tang Li nodded, since he chose Li Zeyuan as the object of the game, these sweeteners still need to be given. For herself, the second senior sister's medical skills are amazing, and she still learned a little bit from her.
Looking at this Li Zeyuan, who had just lost the city mansion for the sake of his beloved woman, Tang Li no longer sold Guanzi, "Your Highness, I can indeed save her, but I can only treat the symptoms, relieve her pain, and cure the root cause, I still need that Mingke." ”
Thinking of the stupid woman who flew over to block the assassin's palm for herself, regardless of her safety, Li Zeyuan's heart ached faintly, "Alas, I guessed that only that baby can save Qiao Niang, but in Chuzang, will there really be?"
Li Zeyuan lost the demeanor of directing the country, and sat on a chair and looked at Tang Li, his eyes full of hope.
"Well, I looked through the files since the founding of the Chu State, except for the founding ancestor of your family who brought Mingke into Chu Tibet, the subsequent emperors have not taken it out. Tang Lifu nodded and said.
Li Zeyuan will definitely choose to fight for the throne for the sake of his life and for the woman he loves, these Tang Tanuki understood very well when he met Li Zeyuan for the first time, his character is more comfortable, and the first choice must be him.
"What do you need?" Li Zeyuan knew that Qiao Niang was saved, his hanging heart settled down a little, and his demeanor returned to his usual appearance, holding the wine glass, shaking the glass for a while and asking Tang Li. Compared with his eldest brother, he is far behind, but Tang Li has always expressed his choice straight to the point, and he must have a great plan.
"I want one place to enter Chuzang. ”
Li Zeyuan drank all the wine in the cup, Chu Zang, it seems that what Tang Li's heart wants is a little interesting.
"Okay, I promise you!"
"Well, deal. ”
In the hall, the hot pot is boiling and the steam is filled.
Outside the house, winter is coming, and the cold is familiar.
