Heaven's Formula

These ingredients are very common items in the market, and Olina also tried to buy them once.It's a pity that the final result was not as good as white rice porridge, the noodles turned into a pot of thin soup, and the fish was so fishy that she couldn't eat it, so she never had the courage to do it a second time.

But in Ms. Yu's hands, these ordinary ingredients seem to emit light.When the warm noodles were sucked into her mouth, Olina felt the exhaustion all over her body receded - the tough taste was accompanied by a little bit of scallion, the right amount of fresh and salty and the sweetness of the fat melted, this taste is not at all compared to the palace How much is the banquet.

For a moment, she forgot the aristocratic etiquette she had learned, and she also forgot that she was not good at using chopsticks. She picked up the bowl three times, five times and two times, and then put the noodles and soup into her mouth.

The other two were dumbfounded.

Olina put down the bowl, and licked her mouth with unsatisfied feelings. Yu Shuangxue also noticed this move, "One bowl...isn't it enough?"

Longnu froze immediately, and she realized that her behavior just now was no different from that of a vulgar commoner, but what made her even more annoyed was that her mouth actually went against the will of her brain, and she couldn't say a word of negation.

Yu Shuangxue obviously understood her thoughts, stood up with a smile, "Wait a moment, I'll make you another bowl."

The final result is... Olina felt a little full after eating three bowls of noodles and half a fish.

"That..." She put down her chopsticks a little embarrassedly, "As much as I ate, I can replenish it for you later, either rice or money..."

The other party is not a high-ranking official or a wealthy family. For an ordinary family, every ration needs to be carefully calculated, and her meal can almost cover the other party's consumption for two days.

"Miss Ao, you're being polite, how can a few bowls of noodles compare to your kindness to save us from a siege?" Yu Shuangxue waved her hand indifferently, "It's you... work so hard, is it really okay?"

"It's okay, I can still hold on."

"Hey, isn't that person even satisfied with filling his stomach?" Xin Tao showed dissatisfaction, "Being so ruthless to others, your efforts are a bit—"

She suddenly covered her mouth, because Sister Yu had already turned to her with staring eyes.

"It's not that... In addition to the agreed remuneration, he still paid a sum of living expenses in advance." Olina subconsciously replied, she didn't know why she defended that treacherous person, probably because of her virtue of respecting the facts. Let me put it off, "It's a pity that I'm not very good at oriental cuisine... Although I have consulted with you, the food I made is still difficult to swallow."

"Do you mean how to cook the rice?"

Dragon Girl nodded, "I also boiled the water and washed the rice well, but I couldn't cook it as it should..."

"Wait," Yu Shuangxue interrupted, "Did you boil the water first?"

"That's right, since it's going to be boiled with water, shouldn't it be boiled first and then put into the pot... I always do this when I cook potatoes."

Xin Tao couldn't help covering her face with her hands.

"..." Yu Shuangxue was dumbfounded for a moment. That day, the other party simply asked how to cook the rice, and she casually answered that just add water. More water is porridge, and less water is rice. She never thought that the other party could do this.

"How about I teach you how to cook."

Olina's heart moved, "But isn't the cooking skill a secret?"

"It's not that exaggerated, I just know some home-cooked dishes." Yu Shuangxue covered her mouth and said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you all I can."

"I don't know as much as sister Yu, but I'm pretty good at making pastries." Xintao also said, "As long as you are interested, I can teach you."

Olina failed to answer the conversation immediately.

For some reason, she felt a long-lost feeling.

The two women in front of her are undoubtedly commoners, and she would not have had any contact with her in the past, but after many contacts now, she found that apart from their power and wealth, their words and deeds are no different from nobles... or Well, they are more understanding, kind and warm than the nobles, staying in this small room, but they have the illusion of returning to the childhood castle.

How long has she been cared about?

After a while, Olina Okan nodded slightly.

"Then... bother you."

……

At the same time, in Baihe City.

Although there was just a big battle, the city was not affected too much. Some people with keen observation were surprised to find that those recruits formed by the government office to deal with Jinxia City had transformed themselves into the maintenance of the city's law and order. By.The armor on their bodies was replaced by leather suits of the same color, and gold ribbons were wrapped around their arms.

What's even more surprising is that the soldiers who originally belonged to the forced conscripts all put on a happy expression at the moment, as if the new owner who had just moved into the government office—the Baihe Affairs Branch had an incredible power, making everyone willing to serve him .

"Uncle Jiu, I remember that your nephew is also on the list, right? What happened here?"

There are naturally many curious people in the teahouse to inquire about each other.

"Hey, what else can I do, they give more."

"Many? How many can there be?"

Uncle Jiu grinned and stretched out five fingers.

"Isn't this almost like an official!"

"Are they still accepting people?"

There was a sound of envy at the scene.

Use money to stabilize the situation... Yan Qing silently put down the tea bowl. This is indeed an effective emergency method, but it cannot be called a long-term solution.The hearts of the people bought by money will inevitably be bought by another high price in the end. To truly become the ruler of a place, the three princesses still need to do a lot.

But having said that, her actions were a bit unexpected—taking advantage of the heavy snow to block the roads, she directly raised troops to seize the entire Shenzhou. By the beginning of spring next year, she would already own at least one state.The Privy Council didn't take Ning Wanjun too seriously before, because she only had one Jinxia city, and the resources and manpower were not enough to realize her ambition.But the entire Shenzhou territory is different. The examples of successful usurpation recorded in history basically started from the state to accumulate strength.

Originally, Yan Qing wanted to walk slowly to Jinxia City, and take a look at the situation in other cities in the south, so she could have a comparison in her heart.In the end, I didn't expect to see Jinxia's expanding footsteps just after arriving in Baihe City.

Unprecedented giant organ beasts, high-morale troops, and Olina Okan herself—especially the latter, obviously in the eyes of the Privy Council, the ambassador of the Holy Wing Islands is a stubborn stubble , all kinds of torture and torture failed to pry her mouth open. I didn't expect that she was already working for Ning Wanjun in less than half a month. A man of courage.

Perhaps the Gyeonggi government has always underestimated this royal touch.

Suddenly, there was noise and shouting from the street below.

Yan Qing turned her head to look, and saw a black figure speeding across the long street, followed by two men closely behind.During the chase, several people were pushed to the ground, and the shops on the side of the street were also jumping around, no wonder it caused a commotion.

For this kind of thing, Yan Qing didn't take it seriously at first, but the sign dangling around the waist of the follower suddenly caught her attention - it was a jade sign with a strange shape, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, shaped like a flip In the eyes of others, the pagoda is probably just an exquisite decoration, but she knows the meaning of the jade plaque.

These two are alchemists of Xu State's Privy Council, and their rank will not be lower than Bai Ren!

Chapter 342 The Tracked Person

Yan Qing couldn't help standing up.

Why would the alchemists from Xu State come to such a place?

If the matter was related to the Qi-sensing person, she couldn't just turn a blind eye to it—the pursuers sent by Xu State were unlikely to be under the control of the Privy Council of Qiguo, unless she could take out the seven-star token.And these people running rampant within the boundaries of Shenzhou may endanger Li's safety.

To be on the safe side, she at least had to find out why the other party came.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing slapped several copper plates on the table, turned around and ran down the teahouse.

"Excuse me!"

"Please let it go!"

She took out the silver chain on her wrist, and pointed one end at the distant figures of the two.

"Kunshu is Yin, and the earth weaves a web."

The chains activated by the technique slowly floated up, locking onto the destination of the target's aura.

Since the iron chains were confiscated by the Privy Council, Yan Qing had no time to forge new chains along the way, so he could only use this kind of decorations to make up for it.It may not be useful in fighting, but the magical functions of remembering breath and providing early warning that do not depend on the strength of weapons are not bad.

Under the guidance of the bracelet, she kept a distance of about a hundred steps from the opponent. As long as the flow of Qi was restrained, it would be difficult for even Qingjian to detect the stalking beyond this distance.

Unless one of the two has special techniques for anti-tracking.

But such a big commotion in the urban area can only show that they are also a little careless.

The target moved all the way to a secluded place, and at night, the number of people moving around quickly decreased. Obviously, the person being tracked was also deliberately avoiding the crowd, which made Yan Qing slightly frowned.

—This man is undoubtedly a fledgling in escape.

Remote places seem easy to hide in, but they are actually only for those who have lived there for a long time.Since the foreign visitors are not familiar with the place of life, they will make themselves a conspicuous target.Even if the trackers will be thrown away for a while, they can quickly narrow the area of ​​containment by buying off the locals.

The correct approach should be to escape to a crowded place.

The more people there are, the better it is to confuse their tracks. Even if there are witnesses, it is impossible for the alchemist Xu Guo to screen out a helper who can provide information from a large crowd in an instant.

It can be said that when the other party chooses to enter the streets of this outer city, it will be a matter of time before they are caught up.

For Yan Qing, the most ideal situation is naturally that the moment the alchemist catches the target, she can just infiltrate around both parties.Whether it is talking or fighting during this period, she can provide her with a lot of detailed information.

However, at this moment, the bracelet suddenly dropped, no longer indicating the direction.

Yan Qing couldn't help being startled.

The weaving technique lost the opponent's breath?

There are only two situations that can lead to such a situation - one is that the opponent casts alchemy, blocking the effect of the tracking spell.

The second is that the other party is dead.

But how come...?

The two of them were alchemists at least at the hundred-blade level, which meant that they had fought many qi-sensing people with real swords and guns, and they were not the kind of "newcomers" who could only deal with evil spirits step by step.In order to deal with them silently, the opponent must at least have the level of guarding, and the usual techniques must be biased towards assassination.

For example, Yu Linglong, the "shooting" of the Gyeonggi Government.

Of course, the first situation is not good news. The other party suddenly blocks tracking, which means that they have already noticed that there is a third party following behind them.

Yan Qing immediately raised her vigilance to the highest level.

At this time, it is not safe to go back the same way. It may be a good choice to retreat in the face of difficulties, but at this moment the opponent may also take advantage of this and turn the way back into a dangerous trap.

She decided to move on.

First of all, when the tracking was interrupted, the distance between the two parties was only a hundred steps. In other words, the two people were deep in the alley in front of them.Just by turning a corner, she could see what was going on in front of her.

Secondly, it is because of the self-confidence of a green sword.She has participated in more than thousands of battles, and there are countless situations that are more dangerous than this. It is not luck that she can stand out from a large group of alchemists and survive until now.Even if she lacks a handy weapon, she is still the lock weaver Yan Qing.

At this time, the alley was pitch black, and there was not even a ray of moonlight above her head. The ice and snow under her feet made a crackling sound under the trample, which was the only sound she could hear.

Stepping into the alley, Yan Qing bent down, letting the bracelet seep into the ground and spread out.The chain, which was originally only half a foot long, kept sinking, as if it had infinite length.And these extra silver chains expanded around her, forming a huge "net" around her!

This is Yan Qing's most unique technique.

If Bai Zhan's strange and unpredictable swordsmanship is hard to guard against, and she is the strongest attacker in Kunshu, then she is the strongest defender.She can perceive the environment and changes in the net without using her eyes, and she can get an early warning no matter which direction the enemy is coming from.

Soon, the flowing chain "smelled" the smell of blood.

In the dark alley where you can't reach your fingers, the figure of a human man is outlined. He fell face down on the ground, and the hot current in his chest was melting the surrounding ice and snow little by little.

Then, the second person was also searched.

The place where he fell was only three steps away from No. 1, his body curled up, and he still held a spell in his hand.

She now knows the answer.

The two Hundred Blades were almost killed within a few breaths—there were no traces of fighting at the scene, only a few messy footprints, proving that they were strongly suppressed the moment they approached the enemy, failed to organize an effective counterattack, and were still in a state of panic In addition to being able to achieve this, the only possibility left is that the tracked person has strength beyond expectations.

The chain was still stretching, and just as the edge reached the end of the alley, it touched a foot.

But this time, Yan Qing failed to see the scene outlined by the net. She raised her foot slightly, and then stepped on the bracelet—she knew that it was not a real "stepping on", because the silver chain made of air was located on the Under the surface, it will not be blocked by any ground obstacles, but the expanding net suddenly stops, as if it can no longer cross the boundary at the foot.

Not only that, Yan Qing felt an indescribable oppressive force coming along the chain, as if the end of the dark alley was no longer a low house, but a wide open mouth, anyone who walked into it would be It is the food that is sent into the other party's mouth!

This momentum even made the silver chain stand upright, spontaneously wanting to build a chain wall for protection.

"Are you here to catch me too?"

A cold voice came from the darkness.

Then, Yan Qing saw a pair of eyes.

It may have been there in the first place, or it may have just opened, but in any case, those eyes are definitely not human.

It is clearly a dark night, but it reflects a faint light. The sides of the pupils are golden yellow, and the center of the pupils is pitch black—and the most special thing is that the black pupils are in the shape of a spinning cone, like a vertical line. fissure.

Chapter 343 Alien Demon

So what the alchemist Xu Guo hunted down...was a demon.

And this is the kind of monster that the Privy Council fears the most - powerful, and not shy about the human world, relying on its outstanding talent, to swagger in the towns and cities.

Such monsters are far more threatening than those wild monsters who live in seclusion in the mountains.

Once discovered, the Privy Council will definitely take action to eliminate it!

It's just that he chased all the way from Xu State to Qi State, and he hadn't heard the matter from the Privy Council over there before, which made Yan Qing feel a little strange.

But now is not the time to delve into such matters.

Because the other party showed obvious hostility.

There is a huge difference between this demon and Li - from the two alchemists lying on the ground, it can be seen that the other party has no fear of killing people and hardly feels any compassion.She suspected that as long as she said yes, the other party would immediately attack.

And as an alchemist, she is also obliged to eliminate evil spirits for the people and protect the safety of the world!

"Say—are you here to catch me too?"

The demon asked again.

"I don't know these two people." Yan Qing has already raised the qi injected into the "spider web" to the peak. The weapon is useless, so he can only make up for it by himself. "What they are going to do has nothing to do with me, but I also—"
