The shopkeeper knelt on the ground, slamming the floor incessantly. A richly dressed man sat aside, wiping a knife in his hand that was studded with rubies the size of several pigeon's eggs. The very elegant girl in a long skirt was anxiously persuading the kowtowing shopkeeper to hurry up. Behind him, several guards with unremoved armor and swords in hand lined up against the wall.

Hey, sure enough, it's this battle. It's not far from what he expected.

"You're his nephew?" the richly dressed man should be the little prince in the shopkeeper's mouth, that is, the lord of Yama that no one in this city can afford to offend now.

Listening to the culture of the little prince, Xu Ao nodded hurriedly, deliberately making a look of cringe.

"Brother Nashan, you scared him. The little county lord blamed, and then chatted with Xu Ao with a pleasant face about the cooking method and what is important. Xu Ao pretended to be trembling and explained the method of grilling the fish clearly. The little prince who watched Nashan touched his nose.

finally let the little county lord understand the production method of grilled fish, Xu Ao was also relieved, let this trouble be grasped. He was so good to find someone to ask for directions and how to return to Qin.

It is really not a pleasant thing to be alone in Yanbei, which has been occupied by Beidi.

Alas, there will always be some discrepancies between reality and expectations. Expectations are always so beautiful, but reality is always cruel. Even if it's the protagonist, you can't avoid it when it's time to be unlucky.

Originally, the little county lord had already finished asking questions, and Xu Ao had also answered them one by one. Even the shopkeeper had already stood up, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and waited for the masters to return happy. Suddenly, the little prince stopped Xu Ao's action of holding the plate, and pulled Xu Ao's hand, Xu Ao's internal force instinctively wanted to fight back, but fortunately, Xu Ao reacted quickly enough and pressed down the uneasy internal force in time.

The little prince took Xu Ao's hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly slapped the table: "What a big guts!

Many guards behind him drew their knives in unison, and the shopkeeper's legs went limp, and he fell to his knees.

"Brother Nashan, what's the matter?" the little county lord asked with a surprised expression.

The little prince of Nashan pointed to Xu Ao's hand: "You take a closer look at his hand." ”

Xu Ao hurriedly looked at his outstretched hand, there was no problem, there was no trace of martial arts, and there was no callus from the hilt of the sword, why did this little prince insist that he was lying to his sister?

The little county lord looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any problems, and looked at the little prince Nashan with a questioning expression.

Nashan Little Prince sneered: "He is the nephew of the shopkeeper, you look at his hands, and then look at the hands of the shopkeepers." His hands are whiter than the hands of the Drunken Moon Lou Oiran in this city, how can he be a cook who cooks every day. ”

Xu Ao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that some small details had been exposed, and it turned out that his hands were too white. But also, since he practiced the "Dead Wood in Spring" technique and plundered some innate vitality, the skin on his body is indeed much whiter, and even the original scars have disappeared. It will not take long for a small injury to heal automatically, just like a mouth full of teeth, in just a few days, they will also grow out, more detailed and neater than before.

When the shopkeeper saw that Xu Ao didn't speak, his heart suddenly became worried, and he hurriedly tried to explain: "Little prince, my nephew beats the little ......."

"Don't speak, or you'll take a rope and go to the south gate and hang yourself up." The little prince pointed at Xu Ao and sneered: "I want to listen to his explanation." ”

Xu Ao swallowed his saliva and moistened his throat, paused for a moment, and then straightened out the explanation he came up with when he swallowed saliva just now: "Xiaomin has followed the blind man at the city gate to learn the art of divination since he was a child, and he has indeed never done rough work and heavy work. ”

"Hmph, then you are really lying to my sister" The little prince waited for an order and hanged the shopkeeper of the restaurant and his nephew outside the south gate.

"But what I said to the little county lord about the steps of grilling fish is true, and I don't dare to lie to it. Xu Ao hurriedly added.

Of course, the steps of grilling fish are all right, in order to make this grilled fish in my last life, but I made a special trip to learn it in other people's grilled fish restaurants for three or five days. It's just that his identity is fake.

"Yes?" The little prince pointed to the grilled fish on the table: "Then you can make another one, if the taste is not right, you and your younger brothers and sisters will go to the south gate for a reunion." ”

"Little Wangye, this is the only fish, and there is no extra fish in the store. "Xu Ao is also on fire in his heart, since you didn't find out that there was a problem with my identity, and you still grasped these small details, are you in a panic. If it wasn't for the shopkeeper's busyness just now, how would he have grilled any fish? Are you afraid that you won't be in enough trouble?

The little prince turned around and clicked on the guard on the far left: "Go back and order someone to send a fish of the same size, I want to see what other explanation he has." ”

The guard took the order and walked briskly down the stairs, and after a few moments he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the building.

For a while, no one in the restaurant spoke, and it just stood still.

After a while, it was the little county lord who broke the silence first. Unexpectedly, this very quiet woman is an idle master, I just heard that Xu Ao followed the blind man at the city gate to learn fortune-telling, and he was suffering from no excuse to let him help with the calculation. It will probably take a while for the guards to fetch the fish now, so it is better to take advantage of this time to let him do the math for himself.

"Do you know how to tell fortunes? I heard the nurse say that fortune-telling in the Central Plains is to look at palmistry, birthdays and faces, which one are you learning?" Xu Ao suddenly complained in his heart, learning fortune-telling from a blind man is just an excuse, where can he really tell fortunes. The books I read in my previous life such as the basic Zhou Yi have long been forgotten over the years. If something is wrong or missing, wouldn't you be looking for your own death?

Seeing Xu Ao's face embarrassed, the little county lord thought that he was afraid of the power of the little prince of Nashan, so he immediately glanced at the little prince of Nashan and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, even if you learn which, even if it's not accurate, I won't let Brother Nashan embarrass you." What's more, my brother Nashan is the best good person, right, Brother Nashan"

Nashan sighed and nodded. In my heart, I also completely lost my favorite sister.

Xu Ao took a deep breath and thought back to himself about what was written in the books he had read before. But people are like this, the more anxious they are to think about something, the more their heads are in a mess.

As time passed, Nashan's originally helpless face gradually turned cold. It's the first time that someone dares not to give him a good face.

"It's okay, I'll say a word, you say a word" The old man of the cocktail, who had not moved for a long time, finally spoke up, and Xu Ao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
