Chapter 111, a rare dinner

[In the 71st year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, March 30, Youshi, and the front hall of Xufu]

As soon as Xu Ke walked into the front hall of his house, he saw his second brother Zhu Wuneng sitting there noisy, he couldn't help but shake his head and said:

"Second brother, if you're hungry, eat quickly!"

"Big brother, you're back!"

Sitting next to Zhu Wuneng, it is naturally the "half-understanding book immortal" Shu Hatetian. Seeing that Xu Ke had finally returned, Shu Haotian shouted to the backyard: "Old sister, Xiaobei, the disease-free brother is back, let's hurry up and start dinner!"

At this time, it was already four o'clock in the hour, and Xu Ke remembered that he was busy hunting demons with his senior brother, and he had not eaten lunch today.

At that moment, Yao Zibei and Hu Yiyi came from the backyard, and the two went to the kitchen to be busy, and a sumptuous dinner was ready in just a moment.

Everyone sat around the round table in the front room, laughing and toasting, and eating their own food. Xu Ke looked at Zhu Wuneng beside him, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, since he joined the Tsing Yi Guard to inspect thousands of households, he has been busy with the cat demon case, and now, in order to rescue Mingyue, he has not been able to spare time, so he can accompany his second brother to visit the beautiful scenery of Chang'an City.

Xu Ke couldn't help patting Zhu Wuneng's shoulder, and took a lot of meatballs, chicken legs, fish pieces and other things for Zhu Wuneng, and said with a smile: "Second brother, you eat more!"

"Hmm, big brother, you eat too!"

"Good!"

Xu Ke picked up a bowl of white rice, scooped up some broth, picked up the chopsticks and sent them to his mouth, and in an instant, a large bowl of rice had been eaten by him.

Seeing that the two brothers looked so intimate, and they were all eating like this, they couldn't help but feel sorry for themselves.

Shu hated that he was the most talkative in his day, he ate a few bites of food, touched a glass of wine with Xu Ke, and asked:

"I said brother-free brother, what have you been busy with in the past month? Do you calculate, how long has it been since you had dinner with your scholar brother?"

Xu Ke sighed: "Hey, it's not to catch that cat demon?!" As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but regret that he had lost his words, and his heart was in front of Shu Hattian, so it was not appropriate to say that he was "Ninth Sister".

Unexpectedly, Shu hattian said disapprovingly: "It's not easy to catch that sassy old cat! Just send a few beautiful men to lure, she doesn't have to take the bait! I think, disease-free brother, you might as well do a 'beautiful man's trick' yourself, strip naked in the middle of the night, lie on the street, maybe, the old cat sniffs your scent, and she will take the initiative to send it to the door......"

Hu Yiyi glanced at Shu Haotian and said:

"I think, it's better to strip you naked and put you on the street! Your rat meat is fat, fragrant, white and tender, and the ninth sister likes to eat it the most!"

Shu hattian was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"I can't help it, I can't help it! My body is old and sour, Lao Jiu is unappetizing when she smells it, she will definitely not come!"

Zhu Wuneng, who was beside Shu Haotian, heard them talking about food, and suddenly became interested, he sniffed hard up and down the body of the "half-solved book immortal", shook his head and said:

"Your meat is not old, it is not sour, but it is not delicious!"

"It's not as delicious as your pork!" Shu hattian said angrily: "I'll stew your fat another day, see if it tastes good?"

Shu Hattian squinted a pair of pea-like eyes, looked at Zhu Wuneng, he stroked a pair of snow-white long hair under his chin, and couldn't help but comment on Zhu Inability's fat flesh again:

"However, your pork is really too fatty, if it is simmered in water, I am afraid it will be too greasy! It is better to put you on the fire, roast you slowly over a fine fire, put more salt and pepper, and roast for three hours, until the fat is exhausted, at that time, the skin is charred and the meat is tender, tsk! Not to mention how beautiful the taste is!"

Shu Hattian said proudly, and asked Yao Zibei opposite:

"Xiaobei, does what your Shuxian brother said make sense?"

Yao Zibei was used to seeing Shu Hatian and Zhu Wuneng joking with each other on weekdays, and knew that he was joking again at this time, so he also responded with a smile:

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, it only takes an hour to roast the meat, at first it should be a strong fire, and then it should be slowly roasted over a simmer, and the roasted pork will be dipped while roasting, so that the roasted pork is fragrant!"

"Hahaha!" Shu hattian couldn't help laughing: "After all......, Miss Xiaobei is an expert in cooking!

Shu Hattian patted Zhu Wuneng's strong and fat arm beside him, and said, "I can't wait to take a bite of the golden roast pork hand immediately!"

Yao Zibei immediately said: "This is not simple, tomorrow morning, I will go to the vegetable market street, buy two big pork knuckles and come back, and make a plate of roast pork knuckles for everyone to eat!"

Shu Haotian listened happily in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at Xu Ke, and then stroked his long hair, and said meaningfully:

"A girl like Xiaobei has a good person, a good heart, and a good cook! If anyone can marry her, then he will enjoy a lifetime of happiness!"

After Shu Haotian finished saying this, everyone at the banquet had different expressions.

Hu Yiyi smiled bitterly in her heart, hey! Who said no! A good pair of destined people, but fate did not let them be together, why is this?

Yao Zibei was still a smiling girl in the spring before, but at this time she couldn't help frowning slightly, she lowered her head, looked at her lower abdomen again, and suddenly felt an inexplicable melancholy and loss in her heart......

The most ridiculous thing is that Zhu is incompetent, and when he heard that there will be "roast pig hands" to eat tomorrow, he actually cheered: "Roast pork knuckles? I love to eat them the most! Sister Xiaobei, you want to buy more tomorrow, how can two be enough? At least ten!"

"Good, good!" Yao Zibei hurriedly put away the sadness on his face, slowly calmed down his mood, and tried to smile and said:

"My sister will go to the vegetable market street tomorrow and buy ten pig hands for you!"

After finishing speaking, she was a little worried, and said in her heart ten pig hands, how can I carry it?

At this time, Xu Ke has been chewing and silently reciting three words in his heart, "Vegetable Market Street, Vegetable Market Street......". He had no appetite for food at this time, so he simply put down his wine glass and chopsticks, and his face could not hide a sad expression.

"Xiao Wuxi, what's wrong?" Hu Yiyi then asked with concern.

Xu Ke couldn't help but sigh: "At the entrance of the vegetable market, tomorrow at noon, it will be Mingyue's execution ground! cough...... It's ridiculous that I've been busy for two days, but it's still in vain!"

Hu Yiyi was surprised and said: "Why, King Zhao came forward to intercede, but the emperor still refused to let Mingyue go?"

Xu Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then roughly told everyone at the table what his senior brother Li Yi had done when he entered the palace last night. Love Me eBook

Xu Ke said to everyone that although his senior brother argued with the emperor for half an hour, the emperor still did not change his mind, but gave them a one-day deadline, if they could catch Mao Jiaojiao within one day, they could let Mingyue go.

However, the two of their brothers and sisters, today they went to Jinding Mountain in the south of the city to look for demons according to the Xuandu Guan Li Guanzhu, but they searched for most of the day, but they still found nothing!

In other words, the limit of one day given by the emperor has now passed a day, and there is only one night left!

When they heard this, they were all silent. Hu Yiyi comforted Xu Ke and said:

"Xiao Wuxi, if you really can't save people, then there's no way! No matter what, you can do your best to Miss Mingyue! Even Zhao Wangye can't save her, what can you do?"

Xu Ke said: "Sister Hu, then let's just watch Miss Mingyue die at Ling Chi?"

Hu Yiyi sighed: "This may be the fate arranged by God for Mingyue! If God wants her to die, we mortal people and demons cannot be changed!"

However, despite Hu Yiyi's words, she already had an idea in her heart. She said in her heart, since this is the case, then the ninth sister and I can only go to Tsing Yi Wei to rob the prison tonight!

Yao Zibei could hear them talking, as if he understood or not, and it was not easy to interject, so he had to bow his head and eat.

Shu hattian poured himself a full glass of wine, raised his neck and drank it all, but shook his head and said:

"I said that you don't need to blame yourself too much! After all, this matter has nothing to do with you! The emperor wants to kill a Qinglou girl, isn't this the same as crushing an ant to death? What can you do if you are a petty official of the Tsing Yi Guard? When you become the Son of Heaven in the future, it will not be too late to rehabilitate this Mingyue girl Zhaoxue!"

Xu Ke smiled bitterly: "At that time, everyone died, even if she was wronged, what was the use?"

Shu Hatian couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, he said in his heart, you really think you can be the emperor! He immediately said with relief:

"You don't have to worry about it, Mingyue is the person Lao Jiu wants to save, Lao Jiu is good at light work, and his hiding kung fu is the first in the world, maybe, tonight, Lao Jiu will save people, why are you in a hurry!"

Xu Ke even smiled bitterly: "Brother Shuxian, if Mao Jiaojiao went to save people last night, there may still be hope." Tonight, Mingyue and the others have all been transferred to the Imperial Prison, and it will be difficult to rescue a living person from the Imperial Prison of Bei'an Pingsi!"

When Hu Yiyi heard this, she couldn't help but change her face slightly, she thought to herself, this is troublesome! Mingyue was actually imprisoned in the edict prison, how can I and the ninth sister save people?

She couldn't help but fall into a contradictory dilemma in her heart, I really don't know if after Mao Jiaojiao came tonight, would they still go to the edict to save people? If not, wouldn't they sit back and watch Mingyue die, if they go to save it, there are many organs in the edict prison, can they be saved?

"Big brother, I have a solution!" At this time, Zhu Wuneng couldn't help but say after eating a big bowl of fish soup with rice, meatballs, and red mushrooms.

"Second brother, do you have a way?" Xu Ke couldn't help but wonder.

Not only Xu Ke, but even Shu Hatian and Hu Yiyi all looked at Zhu Wuneng together.

I only heard Zhu Wuneng's urn and said angrily: "Big brother, isn't it just to save someone? If big brother really likes that Mingyue, it's a big deal, let's go to the entrance of the vegetable market to save people!"

"It's not a bad idea to go to the entrance of the vegetable market to save people...... Shu hattian slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Brother who is not sick, simply, how about we come to a 'law robbery field' tomorrow? Everyone will take action together, and simply turn the vegetable market upside down!"

"Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about!" Xu Ke immediately expressed his opposition, and everyone didn't know what Xu Ke was against, whether Zhu Wuneng said that he liked Mingyue, or whether he opposed everyone going to the court to save people.

Xu Ke immediately said: "Tomorrow's vegetable market entrance is bound to be heavily guarded. After all, Mingyue is the 'main culprit' who killed King Han, and tomorrow's execution, the Son of Heaven may come to the execution ground in person. Even if the Son of Heaven does not come, a prince will be sent to supervise and behead him. In this case, the Tsing Yi Wei Luan Ceremony Division will send hundreds of good hands to guard the Dharma field. With so many soldiers and horses, under heavy siege, it is almost impossible to rob people on the spot!"

Zhu Wuneng said disapprovingly: "What does it matter if there are too many people? Big brother, as long as you can help Lao Zhu find one thing, no matter how many soldiers there are in the field, I Lao Zhu will definitely rescue your Mingyue!"

"What's that?"

Everyone looked at Zhu Wuneng again.

I only heard Zhu Wuneng say leisurely: "It's my old Zhu's 'nine-tooth nail rake'!"

"Ahem......"

Xu Ke shook his head, and couldn't help but smile dumbly in his heart.

At this time, even if it is a three-tooth nail rake, I can't find it, let alone a nine-tooth?

Shu Haotian couldn't help but laugh and said:

"If you had a nine-toothed nail rake in your hand, you would have gone to the sky to meet your bright moon, and you would have taken care of the 'bright moon' in the world?"

......

While everyone was talking and laughing, Dong Laifu, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion, hurriedly ran to the door of the front hall, leaned over and saluted:

"Master Xu, there are people outside the door asking to see you!"

"Who is it?" asked Xu Ke.

Dong Laifu replied: "I don't know the little one, this person said that he is the 'old man' of the old man in Tsing Yi Wei......"

"Tsing Yi Wei's old man, what old man?" Xu Ke couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"If the master doesn't want to see him, the little one will send him back!"

Xu Ke waved his hand and ordered:

"Since he is an 'old man', why not see him, you take him into the front yard first, and I will be there later!"

"Yes!"

Dong Laifu answered, and immediately turned around.

Xu Ke said to everyone: "Sister Hu, Brother Shuxian, you eat first, I'll go out and see, where is this 'old man of Tsing Yi Wei'?"
