After being forced into the palace, I became the tyrant's favorite
Chapter 121 05 Jealous (1)
The door was closed, and the room returned to darkness. He Lingjia speculated that the person should be Emperor Da Chen.
This kind of emperor's demeanor is not possessed by everyone, it is innate, and it is even more prominent after being tempered the day after tomorrow.
He had this experience when he faced his master, and now he couldn't help shivering when he met the man's cold eyes. These eyes were like looking at all sentient beings, pressing them hard to the bottom of the valley.
He couldn't help swallowing, and then he heard the man speak in a low voice, and the voice quickly drifted into his ears as he approached. Although the man's gaze was very cold, his voice was very pleasant.
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." He Linjia pretended to be crazy and said stupidly.
The man just looked at him and didn't say anything, but he was swallowed by the bright and sharp eyes in the dimness, and looked away guiltily. The man in black pinched his jaw and forced him to say goodbye. The man's piercing eyes.
He Linjia continued to pretend to be stupid, but the man called out his name directly.
"You should be glad that I remember your name." Ye Chu's voice was colder than before.
He Linjia was horrified, he didn't expect that the other party would still remember his name.
"I'm glad that the emperor still remembers me, but I really don't know what you are asking. I just came to the capital at the order of my master."
"What?" Ye Chu forced/asked, his eyes fierce, as if the other party had a hundred ways to torture him without telling him.
He Lingjia shrugged, pulled at the wound, and hissed, "I heard that there is a restaurant in Kyoto, and the food there is delicious, so the master asked me to come over to see if I can invite the chef back to Dazhou."
"Wishful thinking, are you the one who dare to touch my people?" Ye Chu slapped his inner strength, the pain made He Linjia's eyes black, Ye Chu didn't bother to look at him, turned his back to the man in black shirt and confessed: "This There is no need to wait for a few days, and I am optimistic about people."
"Yes."
Ye Chu left, the man in black took off the fence, revealing a handsome face, He Linjia raised his head, was shocked for a moment, hesitated for a while, "Why, why is it you?"
The one who fought against him before was actually an eunuch, and he was also the biggest eunuch in Dachen.
In the early years, he met Li Quan once. At that time, the other party was just a servant. After a few years of seeing each other, he not only became a eunuch, but also practiced a good martial arts.
"You, when did you know martial arts?" He Linjia asked the bottom line, quite like "an old friend who has known each other for many years".
"I don't know you well, so I advise you to tell the truth earlier." Li Quan stroked his chin, "But I don't think you need to wait too long, and you will meet that person."
He Linjia's thin lips trembled slightly, and he raised his voice and asked, "Who?"
"I know it in my heart." Li Quan dropped these words, opened the door and went out, and the guards and Habayashi army who were ordered to come surrounded the house layer by layer.
It was impossible for Li Quan to guard him all the time. After explaining a few words to these people, he turned and went to the imperial study.
The little master should not be in the palace, the master will probably interrogate the captured person.
Where will that old man Wen Sheng hide?
At that time, he stood in front of the imperial study room and said respectfully, "Master."
"Come in." A deep and cold voice penetrated the wooden door.
Li Quan trembled all over, the door opened and closed, Li Quan stood at the door, waiting for the master to speak.
Not long after, Ye Chu didn't look up and said, "Did you say it?"
"Never."
"Shen Ran is back?"
Li Quan was startled, and secretly glanced at Ye Chu on the dragon chair.
Ye Chu looked up at him, suddenly understood, and said: "Wait outside, if you see him bringing someone into the palace, bring him."
"Yes." Li Quangong complied.
Ye Chu flicked his cloud sleeves to signal him to back down, Li Quan bowed his body and backed out, the moment he closed the door, his expression suddenly changed, how could he look like a flattering eunuch!
The whole body exudes fierceness and unruly!
The guards were shocked when they saw the tiger, and cheered up.
Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, he told Li Quan to tidy up his clothes and leave.
In the imperial study room, it fell into silence again. After a few "creaking" sounds, Ye Chu sat down in awe.
The visitor was dressed in black, with dusty shoulders, bowed his head and knelt down, and said: "Shen Ran fought an assassin, Wen Ningxin took advantage of the chaos and escaped, Wen Ningxin was kidnapped by Shen Ran."
"This subordinate followed all the way, but he didn't see him and went back to the palace directly." He buried his face in the ground and slowed down his speech.
Ye Chu put down the jade pen, and could hear his cautious tone
"Where did he go?"
The visitor calmed down and said, "He went to the lake first..."
That night, Shen Ran kidnapped people and took them to the lake while the moon was deep. Wen Ningxin was tied to a big tree. He squatted by the lake and washed his face with a handful of water.
After a short rest, Shen Ran dragged the people on the road and rushed back from Nantong. It took him ten hours to ride, let alone walk.
That night Wen Ningxin only felt exhausted, and a few blisters were worn out on the soles of her feet, causing her to wrinkle her brow and breathe in pain.
The man dragged her and walked quickly, his heels were rubbed with blood, and his legs were numb.
It was only after passing through the dense forest that I was able to rest.
Shen Ran followed the same pattern and tied the man to a tree.
Lying on a rock with her arms under her pillow and closing her eyes to rest, Ren Wen Ningxin was indifferent to how she screamed, and when she was tired, she fell asleep with her neck tilted.
Early the next morning, the sky was gray, and Shen Ran continued to drag Wen Ningxun on the road.
It was not until the afternoon that they entered the capital city. There were so many people in the capital, Shen Ran covered Wen Ningxin's face with a black cloth, and then quickly ran back to the palace with the people on his back. As soon as he climbed in from the palace wall, he saw a man holding a sword. Li Quan, and several Habayashi soldiers.
Shen Ran looked at Li Quan with a calm expression, Li Quan raised his hand, and a guard stepped forward. Shen Ran knew what he was going to do, and threw Wen Ningxin to him. They locked Wen Ningxin up.
Wen Ningxin didn't dare to shout anymore.
I only hope that Wen Sheng can rescue her.
Li Quan looked at Shen Ran and said, "There is someone who wants to see you."
Shen Ran's heart skipped a beat, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked, "Who?"
"You'll know when you go." Li Quan took him to Lin'an Palace.
The further he walked in, the more uneasy Shen Ran felt.
He's been here a few times, and it's where his masters keep felons, they call it the "Little Black Room."
Just around the corner.
As the destination got closer, Shen Ran shook his fingers uncontrollably.
Is it—
The pupils contracted for a while.
Li Quan turned around and faced him, "The man is inside."
Shen Ran swallowed, his hands trembling slightly, and he pushed open the door.
Li Quan said, "Go in."
Shen Ran didn't make a sound, and walked in slowly step by step. The room was not big. In the center of the room was an iron pillar the size of three people embracing. The iron chains on it were thick and long, intertwined and tangled. There is dust all around, and a beam of light penetrates in, and you can see the fine dust moving in the beam of light.
He saw a person tied up in front of the iron pillar in the center of the room.
Seeing that he was a man, the nervousness disappeared little by little. He walked over, and the man with his hands and feet bound in iron chains suddenly raised his head, looked along the light, and then let out a burst of smirks.
Shen Ran was shocked, stopped, and clenched his fists.
The man coughed and said, "I guessed it just now, that person might be you."
Shen Ran said nothing.
He Linjia continued: "You were the one who fought with me last night, right?"
Shen Ran still didn't say a word.
He Linjia seemed to be used to his taciturnity, so he said to himself, "Have you seen her?"
Shen Ran moved her fingers subconsciously, and He Linjia said, "You are still the same as before, what a pity, we were still hunting together on horseback back then."
He was in a trance, as if lost in memory.
Shen Ran suddenly asked, "Is she doing well?"
"It's up to me whether it's good or not." He Linjia sneered and said, "We were too impulsive back then."
"I thought I would never see you again in this life, but I didn't expect you to stay with Emperor Chen."
"Ah."
He Linjia glanced at him and said angrily: "I have lived in Dachen for so many years, have I really forgotten my identity? I have completely forgotten that I am from Dazhou? How did my parents die?"
"I haven't forgotten." Shen Ran said very calmly: "I have Da Zhou's blood on my body, but I also have the right to choose. My parents were killed by Da Chen's soldiers, not Emperor Da Chen."
Li Quan was horrified at the time, he had known Shen Ran for many years, only now did he know that he was from Da Zhou, and he didn't know if his master knew that Shen Ran was chosen by the Sword Master, so he probably knew his background.
He Linjia sneered, "What a joke, if it wasn't for the warlike Emperor Chen, how could he have attacked Dazhou, and how could our parents have been buried by Chen Bing."
"That's already in the past." Shen Ran said coldly: "Don't you want to live in the past, when we were all young, you know that the one who started the war was the Great Chen King? You really think that the Great Zhou Emperor is a wise king! "
"You have been with the prince since childhood, how he treats you, you should think about it carefully!"
He Linjia gasped for breath and lowered her head for a while, "She was also sent by the master."
Shen Ran turned her back to him without saying a word, walked to Li Quan's side, and said dumbly: "Can I go?"
Li Quan nodded slightly, and Shen Ran went straight out of the house, the front was gray and there were big dark clouds above his head.
He Lingjia roared behind him, and he closed his eyes and walked away quickly.
Li Quan closed the door and left thoughtfully.
Shen Ran turned to Ye Chu, and Ye Chu sat at the head of the desk, his eyes were cold, "Only brought back one person?"
"Yes." Shen Ran knelt down and said, "This subordinate is incompetent and failed to complete the task."
"Get up." Ye Chu narrowed his eyes and said, "You know him?"
Knowing who he was referring to, Shen Ran said in a low voice, "Yes, he is an old friend of his subordinates."
"Dazhou people?"
Shen Ran pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Do you know who sent him here?" Ye Chu asked.
Shen Ran raised his head, his throat rolled, "Emperor Da Zhou appointed him here."
Gu Xuan, right? Ye Chu sneered in his heart. Just like his father, this man was arrogant and ambitious, and he quietly reached into the capital of Dachen.
Ye Chu waved his hand to signal him to step back, and then asked Li Quan to come in.
"Did Wen Sheng find it?"
Li Quan knelt down and said, "I haven't found it yet."
A lot of dark guards and shadow guards were sent out yesterday, but no one was found overnight.
"Keep looking, don't let people run away."
Gu Xuan sent the hidden guards at this time, he could only think of one reason, the old man Wen Sheng is probably a spy, the old guy has been hiding in the capital for so many years, I really don't know why the father didn't find out.
From Ye Chu's point of view, Wen Sheng is not particularly smart. With his father's wisdom, he had already wiped out all of them, but he betrothed Miss Su to this man.
He thought back then that Wen Sheng hid his identity and sneaked into Dachen, forged a fake identity, gained fame step by step, and finally stayed in the capital.
He rubbed his eyebrows, what happened back then, that his father decided to give his mother-in-law to Wen Sheng, why did General Su agree?
If Brother Dahuang is still guessing to know something, it's a pity that Wen Yao is the only relative left by his side.
The Chinese New Year is less than ten days away, and all the ingredients, fruits and vegetables Wen Yao needs have arrived.
The shopkeeper brought wine glasses.
Wen Yao said: "I still think it will take a few days before the goods will be available."
"I thought the young master was in a hurry, so I found the Westerner on the same day." The shopkeeper handed him over, his eyes flicked around, and Wen Yao invited him to the second floor.
While making the invitation, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "I like the young master's place the most. The food and the private rooms are more exquisite than other places."
Wen Yao led people into the customized member room.
The shopkeeper looked east and west, stroked the back of his head, and happily praised: "Young master, this is really a good place!"
He signed up as an ordinary member in Minshifu, and he also went to the ordinary room. He didn't expect to have the opportunity to enter the custom-made member room. This is the sofa chair that has spread all over the city.
"Please sit down, shopkeeper."
Wen Yao sat down in front of the sofa chair.
There are not only sofa chairs in the custom-made member room, but also foldable beds, similar to the sofa beds of later generations. The four walls are hung with Chen Yunfeng's calligraphy and paintings, and Wen Yao's color paintings.
The shopkeeper sat down tremblingly, looked at the color painting on the wall, and said, "I heard that this painting was made by the young master."
After Wen Yao took Shun'an and the two back that day, the shopkeeper specially inquired around, combined with the rumors and his own guess, and seeing him today, confirmed Wen Yao's identity.
"It was indeed drawn by me." Wen Yao was not surprised that he knew his identity, and smiled self-effacingly, "But it's not true if you make a fuss."
"Young master, you are being modest. This painting and that specimen painting of yours have fetched sky-high prices on the black market."
Wen Yao smiled again, avoiding the topic, "How many wine glasses did you bring today?"
"Exactly ten."
Speaking of business, the shopkeeper stopped and looked around.
"According to the previous price, there is an agreement here. If there is no problem, we will sign and confirm. After that, the shopkeeper can only sell the wine and wine glass to me."
This agreement was written by Wen Yao to Chen Yunfeng, which is similar to the buyout agreement of later generations.
The shopkeeper took the agreement and looked at it carefully.
After a while, he put down the paper, and said with a heavy voice, "Young master, I don't know. If I can only sell it to the people's restaurant, I am afraid that the small shop will be short of money and close down."
Wen Yao made a reassuring gesture, "Don't worry about the shopkeeper. Since you and I have signed an agreement, we are a long-term partnership. As the restaurant grows stronger, are you still worried that the wine glasses and wine will not be sold?"
The shopkeeper suddenly remembered that it was rumored that the owner of Minshifu was the concubine Xianfei. He was lucky enough to be able to work with the empress, so he had so many worries. After he figured it out, he immediately agreed.
Wen Yao gave him 100 taels at once.
"For the rest of the money, please ask the shopkeeper to prepare some wine for me."
With enough money on his body, the shopkeeper also has confidence, "Don't worry, young master, I will take care of you."
Send away the shopkeeper.
After witnessing the whole process, Chang San was quite puzzled and said, "Master, why did you give him so much money? I'm not afraid that he will pack up and run away."
Chang San was worried, that was 100 taels, not a few taels or dozens of taels!
"Don't worry, whoever earns money will be so stupid as to pack up and run away." Wen Yao inspected the goblet and instructed Xiaode to take it for cleaning. Xiaode and Zhang Mu lifted the wooden box out.
"And—" Wen Yao looked back at him.
Chang San hastily asked: "And what?"
Wen Yao had a clever smile, "He probably guessed my identity, smart people will not give up the longer-term future just because of a little benefit in front of them."
Chang San said ignorantly, what are the benefits, what is the long-term future, what did the young master say.
Seeing his confused face, Wen Yao shook his head and laughed, and went into the kitchen to prepare drinks.
The publicity announcement has been drawn, and the words are combined with cute and exquisite pictures, and the pictures are even more eye-catching. Many diners came to the front desk to ask when they can buy tickets for the spring banquet.
Liu Qing didn't know, but when he was in trouble, he heard a deep male voice: "When they can buy it, they will announce it."
The man said "this young master is right" and went straight to the second floor.
Liu Qing blinked, as if she didn't understand why this person helped her.
Xu Ershao chuckled: "You don't know me after seeing me for a few days?"
"No." Liu Qing shook his head and said, "Why are Brother Yu Rong here?"
"Why, others can come, but I can't?"
Liu Qing didn't get angry, she felt relieved, "No, Liu, Liu Qing thought Brother Rong was here to find the little master."
"I didn't come to look for him." Xu Yurong held him back, Liu Qing looked puzzled, and heard him say, "I'm here to look for you."
looking for me?
Liu Qing opened his eyes wide, very puzzled.
Xu Yurong pinched his smooth face, smiled softly, "Just follow me."
Liuqing waved her hand and said, "No, I still have to look at the store."
"Leave it to the tall man." Xu Yurong pointed to Kong Wu not far away.
"No, no." Liu Qing questioned.
Kong Wu always has a cold face and can easily scare away guests.
"Why can't it work?" Xu Yurong was unhappy, and pulled people to go out.
Kong Wu stepped forward to stop him, Xu Feng came out to block Xu Ershao, Kong Wu didn't look at Xu Feng, his eyes stayed on Xu Yurong, "You can't take him away."
"How do you know I can't?" Xu Ershao raised his eyebrows.
Liu Qing was afraid that the two would fight, so she hurriedly pulled Wen Yao out, "I, I'll go and tell the little master first, and only after he agrees can I go out with Brother Yu Rong."
Xu Ershao clicked his tongue and lost his temper, "Okay, go quickly, brother is waiting for you here."
Liu Qing hummed, nodded to Kong Wu again, and then ran to the back.
Shun'an came out of the study and saw three tall and burly men occupying most of the doorway. He touched Kong Wu, smiled awkwardly at Xu and Rong, pulled Kong Wu aside, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?" Got into an argument with him?"
Kong Wu shook his head, "He wants to take Liuqing away."
Shun'an turned back to peek at Xu Yurong, pressed the back of Kong Wu's head again, and asked in surprise, "Where is he taking Liuqing?"
Kong Wu shook his head.
"Where are the Liuqing people?"
"I went to find my master."
Shun'an stepped on his shoulder and patted him on the shoulder, "You don't have to worry, the little master will make the decision, go and take care of yourself."
Unmoved by Kong Wu, Shun An sighed and walked away.
Liu Qing ran into the Pao House in a panic, Wen Yao looked up and saw him propping up his knees.
Wen Yao frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Qing gasped and said: "Little master, Brother Rong came to look for me."
Wen Yao frowned, "Oh, why did he come to see you?"
"Brother Rong wants to take me out."
Wen Yao turned around disapprovingly, and immediately realized what Liu Qing said, turned around suddenly, and confirmed, "He wants to take you out?"
Liu Qing nodded, looking at him blankly.
Wen Yao thought for a while, Xu Yurong couldn't offend him for the time being, but he couldn't send Liu Qing to the wolf's mouth either. With Liu Qing's stupid appearance, he probably wouldn't say anything if he was taken advantage of. He scratched his head and fell into a dilemma.
"Where are the others?"
"It's at the door." Liu Qing said, "Kong Wu stopped him."
Wen Yao had a headache for a while, and was afraid that the two of them would do/get together.
No one can persuade Kong Wu's stubborn temper.
"Go, go and have a look." Wen Yao yelled, and pulled Liu Qing out. After walking a few steps, he realized that he hadn't asked Liu Qing's wishes, so he asked him.
"I, I don't know." Liu Qing hesitated.
Wen Yao saw that he was conflicted, so he said, "Let you rest and go out and have a good time."
Only then did Liu Qing feel relieved, and ran out.
At the gate, Kong and Xu were standing on one side, Liu Qing walked over to Kong Wu, and said in a low voice: "I told my little master, he said to let me take half a day off."
"You want to go out with him?" Kong Wu said coldly.
"Yes." Liu Qing didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and said naively.
Kong Wu stared at him with blue eyes, and said in a cold voice, "As you like."
After finishing speaking, he turned to leave, Liu Qing quickly grabbed his sleeve, Kong Wu looked back at him, his blue pupils were indifferent, "What's the matter?"
"I want you to come with me." The voice got lower and lower.
Kong Wu glanced at Xu Yurong a hundred steps away, and said, "Wait for me a while, I will speak to master."
Shun'an poked his head out from the corner, and shouted: "Don't tell the little master, I'll tell him later, you guys go, have fun."
Kong Wu looked at that head: "..."
Liu Qing burst out laughing, and Kong Wu also laughed.
Liu Qing gestured and said, "I'll go and tell Brother Rong."
Kong Wu's eyes were a bit complicated, but he didn't stop him. He watched the person pass by and said something to Xu Yurong, and the two came together again, with a smile in Liu Qing's eyes, "Brother Rong agreed to come with us."
"Okay." Kong Wu turned around, his back to the two of them.
Liu Qing nodded, and a group of four left the shop.
It wasn't until the figure in front of him disappeared on North Street that Shun'an looked back and sighed slightly.
Wen Yao finished wiping the goblet, made some snacks, and shared them with Zhang Mu and Xiaode.
Holding the china plate, he said, "I'll go ahead and have a look."
The two held French fries and nodded like garlic.
Holding the tray, Wen Yao saw Shun'an coming in from the door, and asked, "Who's here?"
"No one came, Liuqing and the others went out." Shun'an saw the small snack in his hand, Wen Yao motioned him to take it and eat it, Shun'an ate one, and asked, "What's this called? Crunchy , yellow/yellow in color."
"French fries."
"It's quite delicious." Shun'an stuffed a root into his mouth, "What is this made of?"
"Potatoes."
"I didn't expect that this potato can do so many tricks."
"Make some potato cakes to eat at night." Wen Yao turned around, and the plate was also shifted. Shun'an was empty, with his hands hanging in the air, neither stretching nor shrinking. Wen Yao looked back at him and smiled, "I like it." eat?"
"It's, it's okay." Shun'an withdrew his hand like an electric shock, scratching his head in embarrassment.
"You can eat it when it's cold, save some for Liuqing and Kong Wu."
"That's for sure." Shun'an hurriedly took the porcelain plate from his hand.
Wen Yao smiled.
When Wen Yao returned to the kitchen, Zhang Mu and Zhang Mu ate their mouths full of rubbish. Seeing Wen Yao hurriedly wiped his mouth with his sleeves, Xiao De was shocked when he saw him return empty-handed: "Little master! You take all the rest To Shun'an?"
Wen Yao didn't take it seriously, and Xiaode's pig-killing neigh sounded in his ears, "How can you leave it all to that guy Shun'an, you don't know that he is just a good eater!"
Xiaode gestured excitedly.
Wen Yao: "..."
Xiao Deyi said with color: "No, I have to stop him!"
Rolling up his sleeves, he rushed out in a hurry.
Zhang Mu: "..."
Wen Yao coughed, "Don't worry about him, we'll make potato cakes next."
"it is good."
Xiao De excitedly ran to the main room, surrounded by many people in front of the counter, Xiao De didn't stop walking and didn't get close, Shun'an's howling broke through the roof, deafening.
"These are mine!"
"Ah, let me go, you—don't touch me!"
As Xiaode approached, everyone had already divided up, Zhou Yun took the lead in making a lot of money, Zhou Li also returned with a full load, they greeted Xiaode one after another, Xiaode nodded at them, and glanced at Shun'an who was lying on the table lifelessly.
Xiaode stretched out his hand and poked him on the head, and Shun An slapped him away. Xiaode didn't care about a foodie, and it happened that a guard gave him some to eat.
Turning around again, I saw Zhou Li touching Shun'an's head, Shun'an didn't beat him away a few times, and raised his head, seeing that it was Zhou Li, he was a little embarrassed, and Zhou Li handed him the French fries.
Shun An scratched his head and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Zhou Li looked at him and shook his head.
Shun'an swallowed, stretched out his hand and twirled the roots, and said, "Then I won't be polite."
"Eat it, I'll give you all." Zhou Li held a porcelain plate with a lot of French fries in it.
Shun'an peeked around, then poked his head out quietly, stuffing one by one into his mouth.
Shun An raised his eyes and asked, "You really don't want to eat?"
Zhou Li shook his head, "You eat."
Shun'an seldom interacted with him, only thought that he didn't like to eat these, so he had no worries and opened his stomach to eat.
Not far away, Xiaode looked at the interaction between the two and felt a little weird.
At the time of You, the four of Liu Qing came back.
Wen Yao had been busy all afternoon and was finally able to eat potato pancakes. He and Zhang Mu made a lot of them. They were closed recently, and everyone closed their doors. They all went to the backyard to wait for dinner.
Wen Yao saw Xu Yurong among the crowd, Xu Yurong nodded at him and said, "Brother Wen has to bother you again today."
"Brother Xu, wherever he is, treat this place as his own home."
Xu Yurong said with a smile: "Then brother Yu would be respectful rather than obedient."
In addition to potato cakes, Wen Yao also cooked some other foods, such as Mai Shao, dumplings and rice balls that will be launched soon.
When Xu Yurong saw it for the first time, Liuqing gave him a rice ball and said with a smile, "This is called a rice ball, and it's delicious."
Noticing that he didn't use serving chopsticks, Xu Yurong's eyes were dark, and he responded, lowered his head and bit his mouth, it was soft and glutinous, and his mouth was full of sweetness and the smell of seaweed.
Liu Qing looked expectant and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
"good to eat."
Liu Qing frowned, and chose a big one for Kong Wu, "Eat more."
Kong Wu hummed lightly, ignoring Xu Yurong's gaze.
At that time, there was a sudden sound of thump, thump, thump.
"Who—is here?" Shun'an didn't have time to swallow, when he heard the knock on the door, he howled reflexively, almost choking.
Among the few people, Zhou Yun was not greedy. He got up and said, "I'll go and see."
Wen Yao nodded.
People have left quickly.
After waiting for a while, there was no sound, Wen Yao keenly sensed that something was wrong, he said something to everyone, got up and walked out.
He almost bumped into someone at the corner, he raised his head and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"I miss you." Ye Chu said pulling people.
Wen Yao felt sweet, "Me too."
Li Quan and Zhou Yun behind them each reduced their sense of presence.
"Have you had dinner yet?" Wen Yao pulled him to the backyard.
"Didn't eat." Ye Chu clasped his fingers with his backhand, "What about you?"
"I'm eating, join them." Wen Yao slowed down, "Xu Yurong is also here, do you want to eat with everyone?"
"Listen to you."
Wen Yao smiled in front of him.
As soon as Shun'an raised his head, he saw the two people coming holding hands, and when he took a closer look, the emperor actually came!
Shun'an choked suddenly and couldn't stop coughing, Zhou Li beside him patted his back.
Wen Yao pulled the people into their seats and told them to relax.
There is no reason to be unrestrained at the same table with the emperor. A meal is trembling, as if facing an abyss.
Xu Yurong didn't feel much, and greeted Liuqing to eat and drink as usual.
After the meal, Zhang Mu and Xiaode cleaned up, and Xu Yurong took Xu Feng to leave.
As the sky was getting dark, Wen Yao and Ye Chu strolled in the courtyard, holding hands.
The stars and the moon are shining, and the cold wind is hunting.
Ye Chu asked, "Is it cold?"
"A bit." Wen Yao said, "It's windy at night, shall we go inside?"
Ye Chu nodded, took his hand, and went back to the room to rest.
The two were lying on the bed, Wen Yao looked at the curtain above his head, and asked, "Is there any news about the assassin who killed Jiang Sushang?"
"Find one." Ye Chu said truthfully.
Let alone Wen Yao's intelligence now, sooner or later he will figure it out.
Wen Yao turned sideways and stared at him, his black eyes were extraordinarily bright under the faint toad light, "Did you catch him?"
"Ah."
"Do you know who it is?" Wen Yao asked.
I remembered Ye Chu's conjecture not long ago.
"He Linjia."
Wen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Chu touched his face and said, "He and Shen Ran are old friends."
Wen Yao's heart twitched again.
Ye Chu comforted: "Don't worry, if it's really him, I will save his life."
"Do you think Li Quan knows him?"
Ye Chu: "Who? He Linjia?"
Wen Yao nodded.
Ye Chu frowned, as if thinking of something, he turned sideways, faced Wen Yao, and rubbed his head, "Li Quan should have seen He Linjia."
"Years ago?"
"Still sleeping?" Ye Chu hugged him, and whispered in his ear: "If you want to know something nice to say, I'll let Li Quan tell you."
Wen Yaoxin said that Li Quan might not listen to you, so he leaned over and kissed him, "Is this okay? Husband."
Ye Chu stroked his exposed white neck, his voice was hoarse and low, "This alone is not enough, let me teach you."
Wen Yao was confused for a while, and was kissed.
Pry open, drill into...
Back and forth, in and out...
Wen Yao only felt that he had no strength in his body, and then he had no time to think about other things.
The next day, Wen Yao didn't wake up until near noon, and Ye Chu specially asked Xiaode to teach him to make lean meat porridge.
Ye Chu had never cooked before, and it took a lot of effort to make a decent bowl of lean meat porridge.
Pushing open the door, Ye Chu saw that someone was awake, and Ye Chu said, "Want to eat?"
"Let's eat." Wen Yao was fully dressed and asked, "What time is it?"
"Noon."
Ye Chu approached and rubbed his disheveled hair, Wen Yao felt a little embarrassed, "I've been sleeping for so long."
"It's not too long." Ye Chu asked someone to come in to take a shower, then turned around and touched Wen Yao's cheek, "I slept late last night, and I just woke up."
"Don't touch." Wen Yao grabbed his hand, "I haven't washed my face yet."
"It's okay." Ye Chu smiled lightly, "It's smooth and tender."
Wen Yao was amused, "It's not tofu."
Ye Chu also laughed.
Li Quan came in with a wash bag and put it on the red lacquered spring stool.
Wen Yao said, "Did Wen Sheng catch it?"
Li Quan was startled, as if he was thinking about how to answer. He peeked at Ye Chu, but the master's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see anything. He said, "I haven't caught it yet, why did the little master suddenly ask about this?"
"I thought of it suddenly." Wen Yao covered it up with a few words.
Li Quan turned around to go out, Wen Yao said again: "Brother Li knows He Linjia?"
Li Quan turned around slowly, looked at Wen Yao, "I know."
"I knew you before?"
"I met once a few years ago." Li Quan said truthfully.
Wen Yao washed his face and hands, Li Quanduan went to wash his hands, twisted himself out of the room.
"Do you think what he said is credible?" Wen Yao asked.
Ye Chu stared at him, and asked without answering, "What do Yaoyao think? Do you believe what he said?"
Wen Yao thought about Li Quan's personality, and Li Quan's loyalty to Ye Chu, he nodded, "I believe, there is no need for Brother Li to lie to me."
"He really doesn't need it." Ye Chu took him by the hand, took him to sit down in front of the bronze mirror, took out the wooden comb, and gently combed Wen Yao's long green hair, "Li Quan, he was originally from a famous family. The whole family was killed."
If his family members were killed, Wen Yao shuddered before he could think about it, "Has the murderer been caught?"
"No." Ye Chu put on the jade inlay and tied his hair crown for him, "Li Quan has been looking for it, and after several years, he still hasn't found anything."
After combing his hair, Wen Yao turned around and looked at him squarely, "Is there a possibility that Wen Sheng was the one who killed Big Brother Li's family?"
Ye Chu raised his eyebrows slightly. He had heard from Li Quan that he was only five years old when the murder was committed. Later, he moved among his relatives and met the Taifu when he was 13 years old.
Li Quan is two years older than him.
He had just turned three years old that year, and Su Yunmian married Wen Sheng not long ago.
Wen Yaojian asked, "What do you remember?"
"Li Quan is two years older than me, and his family members were five years old when they were killed."
Wen Yao raised his eyebrows slightly. In the first year when foreigners invaded the border, Su Yunmian went out with his father and won the battle with catapults, crossbows, etc., and returned to Beijing in the same year. The late emperor gave him a reward, but Su Yunmian refused and only asked for an order to enter the palace. After that, more than a month later, he often went in and out of the palace. Before that, the late emperor should have seen Su Yunmian?Or did Su Yunmian tell his father that the catapult and crossbow were privately made by the Beiding Army?
In the second year, Su Yunmian married Wen Sheng. In the same year, Li Quan's family was killed, and Su Yunmian was imprisoned by Wen Sheng.
When was he born?
Is it possible that Wen Sheng asked someone to kill Li Quan's family members, but why did he do this and what was his motive?
How did Su Yunmian die?
Wen Yao's mind was in chaos, and he always felt that something was guiding him, but he couldn't grasp it no matter what.
"Don't think too much, go eat, I specially prepared lean meat porridge for you."
"You did it?" Wen Yao's eyes lit up, and he stood up and put his arms around Ye Chu's waist.
Ye Chu scratched his straight nose and said with a smile, "Yes, eat inside or outside?"
"Let's go outside." Wen Yao leaned lazily on him, Ye Chu smiled softly, half hugged and half hugged him out, Li Quan was outside the door, Ye Chu said to him: "Bring the porridge, in the courtyard eat in."
"Yes." Li Quan left quickly.
The two ate on the bluestone table in the backyard. In front of Wen Yao was a bowl of not-so-good-looking lean meat porridge. In front of Ye Chu was the fried rice prepared by Xiaode, the remaining ingredients of the lean meat porridge used in the fried rice.
"Your one tastes better." Wen Yao stared eagerly at the fried rice, Ye Chu couldn't laugh or cry, listening to the sound of him swallowing, scooped a spoonful of porridge to Wen Yao's mouth with a silver spoon, Wen Yao glanced at him , lower your head to hold/into your mouth.
The lean pork porridge contains not only shredded lean pork but also red radish, coriander and corn kernels.
It is colorful and looks very appetizing.
"How?" Ye Chu asked.
The taste was so-so, Wen Yao looked at him with a smile and said, "It's delicious, it's the first time I can make it like this, it's amazing."
"I've done it five times, and finally there's no more paste." Ye Chu smiled and said complacently.
The corner of Wen Yao's mouth twitched, next time don't let him cook.
How much food was wasted five times, he sighed in his heart, the person he likes is a prodigal, what should I do?
"Very good, how long did it take?"
"Soon, two hours." Ye Chu said with a smile.
Wen Yao smiled awkwardly, and emptied the bowl.
Ye Chu thought about learning something else next time, but he didn't expect to have such a skill.
In the afternoon, the spies sent out landed in the courtyard, Li Quan dragged them aside, and flew away after the spies reported, Li Quan knocked on the door of Wen Yao's room.
"Come in."
It was Wen Yao's voice.
Plum
This kind of emperor's demeanor is not possessed by everyone, it is innate, and it is even more prominent after being tempered the day after tomorrow.
He had this experience when he faced his master, and now he couldn't help shivering when he met the man's cold eyes. These eyes were like looking at all sentient beings, pressing them hard to the bottom of the valley.
He couldn't help swallowing, and then he heard the man speak in a low voice, and the voice quickly drifted into his ears as he approached. Although the man's gaze was very cold, his voice was very pleasant.
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." He Linjia pretended to be crazy and said stupidly.
The man just looked at him and didn't say anything, but he was swallowed by the bright and sharp eyes in the dimness, and looked away guiltily. The man in black pinched his jaw and forced him to say goodbye. The man's piercing eyes.
He Linjia continued to pretend to be stupid, but the man called out his name directly.
"You should be glad that I remember your name." Ye Chu's voice was colder than before.
He Linjia was horrified, he didn't expect that the other party would still remember his name.
"I'm glad that the emperor still remembers me, but I really don't know what you are asking. I just came to the capital at the order of my master."
"What?" Ye Chu forced/asked, his eyes fierce, as if the other party had a hundred ways to torture him without telling him.
He Lingjia shrugged, pulled at the wound, and hissed, "I heard that there is a restaurant in Kyoto, and the food there is delicious, so the master asked me to come over to see if I can invite the chef back to Dazhou."
"Wishful thinking, are you the one who dare to touch my people?" Ye Chu slapped his inner strength, the pain made He Linjia's eyes black, Ye Chu didn't bother to look at him, turned his back to the man in black shirt and confessed: "This There is no need to wait for a few days, and I am optimistic about people."
"Yes."
Ye Chu left, the man in black took off the fence, revealing a handsome face, He Linjia raised his head, was shocked for a moment, hesitated for a while, "Why, why is it you?"
The one who fought against him before was actually an eunuch, and he was also the biggest eunuch in Dachen.
In the early years, he met Li Quan once. At that time, the other party was just a servant. After a few years of seeing each other, he not only became a eunuch, but also practiced a good martial arts.
"You, when did you know martial arts?" He Linjia asked the bottom line, quite like "an old friend who has known each other for many years".
"I don't know you well, so I advise you to tell the truth earlier." Li Quan stroked his chin, "But I don't think you need to wait too long, and you will meet that person."
He Linjia's thin lips trembled slightly, and he raised his voice and asked, "Who?"
"I know it in my heart." Li Quan dropped these words, opened the door and went out, and the guards and Habayashi army who were ordered to come surrounded the house layer by layer.
It was impossible for Li Quan to guard him all the time. After explaining a few words to these people, he turned and went to the imperial study.
The little master should not be in the palace, the master will probably interrogate the captured person.
Where will that old man Wen Sheng hide?
At that time, he stood in front of the imperial study room and said respectfully, "Master."
"Come in." A deep and cold voice penetrated the wooden door.
Li Quan trembled all over, the door opened and closed, Li Quan stood at the door, waiting for the master to speak.
Not long after, Ye Chu didn't look up and said, "Did you say it?"
"Never."
"Shen Ran is back?"
Li Quan was startled, and secretly glanced at Ye Chu on the dragon chair.
Ye Chu looked up at him, suddenly understood, and said: "Wait outside, if you see him bringing someone into the palace, bring him."
"Yes." Li Quangong complied.
Ye Chu flicked his cloud sleeves to signal him to back down, Li Quan bowed his body and backed out, the moment he closed the door, his expression suddenly changed, how could he look like a flattering eunuch!
The whole body exudes fierceness and unruly!
The guards were shocked when they saw the tiger, and cheered up.
Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, he told Li Quan to tidy up his clothes and leave.
In the imperial study room, it fell into silence again. After a few "creaking" sounds, Ye Chu sat down in awe.
The visitor was dressed in black, with dusty shoulders, bowed his head and knelt down, and said: "Shen Ran fought an assassin, Wen Ningxin took advantage of the chaos and escaped, Wen Ningxin was kidnapped by Shen Ran."
"This subordinate followed all the way, but he didn't see him and went back to the palace directly." He buried his face in the ground and slowed down his speech.
Ye Chu put down the jade pen, and could hear his cautious tone
"Where did he go?"
The visitor calmed down and said, "He went to the lake first..."
That night, Shen Ran kidnapped people and took them to the lake while the moon was deep. Wen Ningxin was tied to a big tree. He squatted by the lake and washed his face with a handful of water.
After a short rest, Shen Ran dragged the people on the road and rushed back from Nantong. It took him ten hours to ride, let alone walk.
That night Wen Ningxin only felt exhausted, and a few blisters were worn out on the soles of her feet, causing her to wrinkle her brow and breathe in pain.
The man dragged her and walked quickly, his heels were rubbed with blood, and his legs were numb.
It was only after passing through the dense forest that I was able to rest.
Shen Ran followed the same pattern and tied the man to a tree.
Lying on a rock with her arms under her pillow and closing her eyes to rest, Ren Wen Ningxin was indifferent to how she screamed, and when she was tired, she fell asleep with her neck tilted.
Early the next morning, the sky was gray, and Shen Ran continued to drag Wen Ningxun on the road.
It was not until the afternoon that they entered the capital city. There were so many people in the capital, Shen Ran covered Wen Ningxin's face with a black cloth, and then quickly ran back to the palace with the people on his back. As soon as he climbed in from the palace wall, he saw a man holding a sword. Li Quan, and several Habayashi soldiers.
Shen Ran looked at Li Quan with a calm expression, Li Quan raised his hand, and a guard stepped forward. Shen Ran knew what he was going to do, and threw Wen Ningxin to him. They locked Wen Ningxin up.
Wen Ningxin didn't dare to shout anymore.
I only hope that Wen Sheng can rescue her.
Li Quan looked at Shen Ran and said, "There is someone who wants to see you."
Shen Ran's heart skipped a beat, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked, "Who?"
"You'll know when you go." Li Quan took him to Lin'an Palace.
The further he walked in, the more uneasy Shen Ran felt.
He's been here a few times, and it's where his masters keep felons, they call it the "Little Black Room."
Just around the corner.
As the destination got closer, Shen Ran shook his fingers uncontrollably.
Is it—
The pupils contracted for a while.
Li Quan turned around and faced him, "The man is inside."
Shen Ran swallowed, his hands trembling slightly, and he pushed open the door.
Li Quan said, "Go in."
Shen Ran didn't make a sound, and walked in slowly step by step. The room was not big. In the center of the room was an iron pillar the size of three people embracing. The iron chains on it were thick and long, intertwined and tangled. There is dust all around, and a beam of light penetrates in, and you can see the fine dust moving in the beam of light.
He saw a person tied up in front of the iron pillar in the center of the room.
Seeing that he was a man, the nervousness disappeared little by little. He walked over, and the man with his hands and feet bound in iron chains suddenly raised his head, looked along the light, and then let out a burst of smirks.
Shen Ran was shocked, stopped, and clenched his fists.
The man coughed and said, "I guessed it just now, that person might be you."
Shen Ran said nothing.
He Linjia continued: "You were the one who fought with me last night, right?"
Shen Ran still didn't say a word.
He Linjia seemed to be used to his taciturnity, so he said to himself, "Have you seen her?"
Shen Ran moved her fingers subconsciously, and He Linjia said, "You are still the same as before, what a pity, we were still hunting together on horseback back then."
He was in a trance, as if lost in memory.
Shen Ran suddenly asked, "Is she doing well?"
"It's up to me whether it's good or not." He Linjia sneered and said, "We were too impulsive back then."
"I thought I would never see you again in this life, but I didn't expect you to stay with Emperor Chen."
"Ah."
He Linjia glanced at him and said angrily: "I have lived in Dachen for so many years, have I really forgotten my identity? I have completely forgotten that I am from Dazhou? How did my parents die?"
"I haven't forgotten." Shen Ran said very calmly: "I have Da Zhou's blood on my body, but I also have the right to choose. My parents were killed by Da Chen's soldiers, not Emperor Da Chen."
Li Quan was horrified at the time, he had known Shen Ran for many years, only now did he know that he was from Da Zhou, and he didn't know if his master knew that Shen Ran was chosen by the Sword Master, so he probably knew his background.
He Linjia sneered, "What a joke, if it wasn't for the warlike Emperor Chen, how could he have attacked Dazhou, and how could our parents have been buried by Chen Bing."
"That's already in the past." Shen Ran said coldly: "Don't you want to live in the past, when we were all young, you know that the one who started the war was the Great Chen King? You really think that the Great Zhou Emperor is a wise king! "
"You have been with the prince since childhood, how he treats you, you should think about it carefully!"
He Linjia gasped for breath and lowered her head for a while, "She was also sent by the master."
Shen Ran turned her back to him without saying a word, walked to Li Quan's side, and said dumbly: "Can I go?"
Li Quan nodded slightly, and Shen Ran went straight out of the house, the front was gray and there were big dark clouds above his head.
He Lingjia roared behind him, and he closed his eyes and walked away quickly.
Li Quan closed the door and left thoughtfully.
Shen Ran turned to Ye Chu, and Ye Chu sat at the head of the desk, his eyes were cold, "Only brought back one person?"
"Yes." Shen Ran knelt down and said, "This subordinate is incompetent and failed to complete the task."
"Get up." Ye Chu narrowed his eyes and said, "You know him?"
Knowing who he was referring to, Shen Ran said in a low voice, "Yes, he is an old friend of his subordinates."
"Dazhou people?"
Shen Ran pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Do you know who sent him here?" Ye Chu asked.
Shen Ran raised his head, his throat rolled, "Emperor Da Zhou appointed him here."
Gu Xuan, right? Ye Chu sneered in his heart. Just like his father, this man was arrogant and ambitious, and he quietly reached into the capital of Dachen.
Ye Chu waved his hand to signal him to step back, and then asked Li Quan to come in.
"Did Wen Sheng find it?"
Li Quan knelt down and said, "I haven't found it yet."
A lot of dark guards and shadow guards were sent out yesterday, but no one was found overnight.
"Keep looking, don't let people run away."
Gu Xuan sent the hidden guards at this time, he could only think of one reason, the old man Wen Sheng is probably a spy, the old guy has been hiding in the capital for so many years, I really don't know why the father didn't find out.
From Ye Chu's point of view, Wen Sheng is not particularly smart. With his father's wisdom, he had already wiped out all of them, but he betrothed Miss Su to this man.
He thought back then that Wen Sheng hid his identity and sneaked into Dachen, forged a fake identity, gained fame step by step, and finally stayed in the capital.
He rubbed his eyebrows, what happened back then, that his father decided to give his mother-in-law to Wen Sheng, why did General Su agree?
If Brother Dahuang is still guessing to know something, it's a pity that Wen Yao is the only relative left by his side.
The Chinese New Year is less than ten days away, and all the ingredients, fruits and vegetables Wen Yao needs have arrived.
The shopkeeper brought wine glasses.
Wen Yao said: "I still think it will take a few days before the goods will be available."
"I thought the young master was in a hurry, so I found the Westerner on the same day." The shopkeeper handed him over, his eyes flicked around, and Wen Yao invited him to the second floor.
While making the invitation, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "I like the young master's place the most. The food and the private rooms are more exquisite than other places."
Wen Yao led people into the customized member room.
The shopkeeper looked east and west, stroked the back of his head, and happily praised: "Young master, this is really a good place!"
He signed up as an ordinary member in Minshifu, and he also went to the ordinary room. He didn't expect to have the opportunity to enter the custom-made member room. This is the sofa chair that has spread all over the city.
"Please sit down, shopkeeper."
Wen Yao sat down in front of the sofa chair.
There are not only sofa chairs in the custom-made member room, but also foldable beds, similar to the sofa beds of later generations. The four walls are hung with Chen Yunfeng's calligraphy and paintings, and Wen Yao's color paintings.
The shopkeeper sat down tremblingly, looked at the color painting on the wall, and said, "I heard that this painting was made by the young master."
After Wen Yao took Shun'an and the two back that day, the shopkeeper specially inquired around, combined with the rumors and his own guess, and seeing him today, confirmed Wen Yao's identity.
"It was indeed drawn by me." Wen Yao was not surprised that he knew his identity, and smiled self-effacingly, "But it's not true if you make a fuss."
"Young master, you are being modest. This painting and that specimen painting of yours have fetched sky-high prices on the black market."
Wen Yao smiled again, avoiding the topic, "How many wine glasses did you bring today?"
"Exactly ten."
Speaking of business, the shopkeeper stopped and looked around.
"According to the previous price, there is an agreement here. If there is no problem, we will sign and confirm. After that, the shopkeeper can only sell the wine and wine glass to me."
This agreement was written by Wen Yao to Chen Yunfeng, which is similar to the buyout agreement of later generations.
The shopkeeper took the agreement and looked at it carefully.
After a while, he put down the paper, and said with a heavy voice, "Young master, I don't know. If I can only sell it to the people's restaurant, I am afraid that the small shop will be short of money and close down."
Wen Yao made a reassuring gesture, "Don't worry about the shopkeeper. Since you and I have signed an agreement, we are a long-term partnership. As the restaurant grows stronger, are you still worried that the wine glasses and wine will not be sold?"
The shopkeeper suddenly remembered that it was rumored that the owner of Minshifu was the concubine Xianfei. He was lucky enough to be able to work with the empress, so he had so many worries. After he figured it out, he immediately agreed.
Wen Yao gave him 100 taels at once.
"For the rest of the money, please ask the shopkeeper to prepare some wine for me."
With enough money on his body, the shopkeeper also has confidence, "Don't worry, young master, I will take care of you."
Send away the shopkeeper.
After witnessing the whole process, Chang San was quite puzzled and said, "Master, why did you give him so much money? I'm not afraid that he will pack up and run away."
Chang San was worried, that was 100 taels, not a few taels or dozens of taels!
"Don't worry, whoever earns money will be so stupid as to pack up and run away." Wen Yao inspected the goblet and instructed Xiaode to take it for cleaning. Xiaode and Zhang Mu lifted the wooden box out.
"And—" Wen Yao looked back at him.
Chang San hastily asked: "And what?"
Wen Yao had a clever smile, "He probably guessed my identity, smart people will not give up the longer-term future just because of a little benefit in front of them."
Chang San said ignorantly, what are the benefits, what is the long-term future, what did the young master say.
Seeing his confused face, Wen Yao shook his head and laughed, and went into the kitchen to prepare drinks.
The publicity announcement has been drawn, and the words are combined with cute and exquisite pictures, and the pictures are even more eye-catching. Many diners came to the front desk to ask when they can buy tickets for the spring banquet.
Liu Qing didn't know, but when he was in trouble, he heard a deep male voice: "When they can buy it, they will announce it."
The man said "this young master is right" and went straight to the second floor.
Liu Qing blinked, as if she didn't understand why this person helped her.
Xu Ershao chuckled: "You don't know me after seeing me for a few days?"
"No." Liu Qing shook his head and said, "Why are Brother Yu Rong here?"
"Why, others can come, but I can't?"
Liu Qing didn't get angry, she felt relieved, "No, Liu, Liu Qing thought Brother Rong was here to find the little master."
"I didn't come to look for him." Xu Yurong held him back, Liu Qing looked puzzled, and heard him say, "I'm here to look for you."
looking for me?
Liu Qing opened his eyes wide, very puzzled.
Xu Yurong pinched his smooth face, smiled softly, "Just follow me."
Liuqing waved her hand and said, "No, I still have to look at the store."
"Leave it to the tall man." Xu Yurong pointed to Kong Wu not far away.
"No, no." Liu Qing questioned.
Kong Wu always has a cold face and can easily scare away guests.
"Why can't it work?" Xu Yurong was unhappy, and pulled people to go out.
Kong Wu stepped forward to stop him, Xu Feng came out to block Xu Ershao, Kong Wu didn't look at Xu Feng, his eyes stayed on Xu Yurong, "You can't take him away."
"How do you know I can't?" Xu Ershao raised his eyebrows.
Liu Qing was afraid that the two would fight, so she hurriedly pulled Wen Yao out, "I, I'll go and tell the little master first, and only after he agrees can I go out with Brother Yu Rong."
Xu Ershao clicked his tongue and lost his temper, "Okay, go quickly, brother is waiting for you here."
Liu Qing hummed, nodded to Kong Wu again, and then ran to the back.
Shun'an came out of the study and saw three tall and burly men occupying most of the doorway. He touched Kong Wu, smiled awkwardly at Xu and Rong, pulled Kong Wu aside, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?" Got into an argument with him?"
Kong Wu shook his head, "He wants to take Liuqing away."
Shun'an turned back to peek at Xu Yurong, pressed the back of Kong Wu's head again, and asked in surprise, "Where is he taking Liuqing?"
Kong Wu shook his head.
"Where are the Liuqing people?"
"I went to find my master."
Shun'an stepped on his shoulder and patted him on the shoulder, "You don't have to worry, the little master will make the decision, go and take care of yourself."
Unmoved by Kong Wu, Shun An sighed and walked away.
Liu Qing ran into the Pao House in a panic, Wen Yao looked up and saw him propping up his knees.
Wen Yao frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Qing gasped and said: "Little master, Brother Rong came to look for me."
Wen Yao frowned, "Oh, why did he come to see you?"
"Brother Rong wants to take me out."
Wen Yao turned around disapprovingly, and immediately realized what Liu Qing said, turned around suddenly, and confirmed, "He wants to take you out?"
Liu Qing nodded, looking at him blankly.
Wen Yao thought for a while, Xu Yurong couldn't offend him for the time being, but he couldn't send Liu Qing to the wolf's mouth either. With Liu Qing's stupid appearance, he probably wouldn't say anything if he was taken advantage of. He scratched his head and fell into a dilemma.
"Where are the others?"
"It's at the door." Liu Qing said, "Kong Wu stopped him."
Wen Yao had a headache for a while, and was afraid that the two of them would do/get together.
No one can persuade Kong Wu's stubborn temper.
"Go, go and have a look." Wen Yao yelled, and pulled Liu Qing out. After walking a few steps, he realized that he hadn't asked Liu Qing's wishes, so he asked him.
"I, I don't know." Liu Qing hesitated.
Wen Yao saw that he was conflicted, so he said, "Let you rest and go out and have a good time."
Only then did Liu Qing feel relieved, and ran out.
At the gate, Kong and Xu were standing on one side, Liu Qing walked over to Kong Wu, and said in a low voice: "I told my little master, he said to let me take half a day off."
"You want to go out with him?" Kong Wu said coldly.
"Yes." Liu Qing didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and said naively.
Kong Wu stared at him with blue eyes, and said in a cold voice, "As you like."
After finishing speaking, he turned to leave, Liu Qing quickly grabbed his sleeve, Kong Wu looked back at him, his blue pupils were indifferent, "What's the matter?"
"I want you to come with me." The voice got lower and lower.
Kong Wu glanced at Xu Yurong a hundred steps away, and said, "Wait for me a while, I will speak to master."
Shun'an poked his head out from the corner, and shouted: "Don't tell the little master, I'll tell him later, you guys go, have fun."
Kong Wu looked at that head: "..."
Liu Qing burst out laughing, and Kong Wu also laughed.
Liu Qing gestured and said, "I'll go and tell Brother Rong."
Kong Wu's eyes were a bit complicated, but he didn't stop him. He watched the person pass by and said something to Xu Yurong, and the two came together again, with a smile in Liu Qing's eyes, "Brother Rong agreed to come with us."
"Okay." Kong Wu turned around, his back to the two of them.
Liu Qing nodded, and a group of four left the shop.
It wasn't until the figure in front of him disappeared on North Street that Shun'an looked back and sighed slightly.
Wen Yao finished wiping the goblet, made some snacks, and shared them with Zhang Mu and Xiaode.
Holding the china plate, he said, "I'll go ahead and have a look."
The two held French fries and nodded like garlic.
Holding the tray, Wen Yao saw Shun'an coming in from the door, and asked, "Who's here?"
"No one came, Liuqing and the others went out." Shun'an saw the small snack in his hand, Wen Yao motioned him to take it and eat it, Shun'an ate one, and asked, "What's this called? Crunchy , yellow/yellow in color."
"French fries."
"It's quite delicious." Shun'an stuffed a root into his mouth, "What is this made of?"
"Potatoes."
"I didn't expect that this potato can do so many tricks."
"Make some potato cakes to eat at night." Wen Yao turned around, and the plate was also shifted. Shun'an was empty, with his hands hanging in the air, neither stretching nor shrinking. Wen Yao looked back at him and smiled, "I like it." eat?"
"It's, it's okay." Shun'an withdrew his hand like an electric shock, scratching his head in embarrassment.
"You can eat it when it's cold, save some for Liuqing and Kong Wu."
"That's for sure." Shun'an hurriedly took the porcelain plate from his hand.
Wen Yao smiled.
When Wen Yao returned to the kitchen, Zhang Mu and Zhang Mu ate their mouths full of rubbish. Seeing Wen Yao hurriedly wiped his mouth with his sleeves, Xiao De was shocked when he saw him return empty-handed: "Little master! You take all the rest To Shun'an?"
Wen Yao didn't take it seriously, and Xiaode's pig-killing neigh sounded in his ears, "How can you leave it all to that guy Shun'an, you don't know that he is just a good eater!"
Xiaode gestured excitedly.
Wen Yao: "..."
Xiao Deyi said with color: "No, I have to stop him!"
Rolling up his sleeves, he rushed out in a hurry.
Zhang Mu: "..."
Wen Yao coughed, "Don't worry about him, we'll make potato cakes next."
"it is good."
Xiao De excitedly ran to the main room, surrounded by many people in front of the counter, Xiao De didn't stop walking and didn't get close, Shun'an's howling broke through the roof, deafening.
"These are mine!"
"Ah, let me go, you—don't touch me!"
As Xiaode approached, everyone had already divided up, Zhou Yun took the lead in making a lot of money, Zhou Li also returned with a full load, they greeted Xiaode one after another, Xiaode nodded at them, and glanced at Shun'an who was lying on the table lifelessly.
Xiaode stretched out his hand and poked him on the head, and Shun An slapped him away. Xiaode didn't care about a foodie, and it happened that a guard gave him some to eat.
Turning around again, I saw Zhou Li touching Shun'an's head, Shun'an didn't beat him away a few times, and raised his head, seeing that it was Zhou Li, he was a little embarrassed, and Zhou Li handed him the French fries.
Shun An scratched his head and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Zhou Li looked at him and shook his head.
Shun'an swallowed, stretched out his hand and twirled the roots, and said, "Then I won't be polite."
"Eat it, I'll give you all." Zhou Li held a porcelain plate with a lot of French fries in it.
Shun'an peeked around, then poked his head out quietly, stuffing one by one into his mouth.
Shun An raised his eyes and asked, "You really don't want to eat?"
Zhou Li shook his head, "You eat."
Shun'an seldom interacted with him, only thought that he didn't like to eat these, so he had no worries and opened his stomach to eat.
Not far away, Xiaode looked at the interaction between the two and felt a little weird.
At the time of You, the four of Liu Qing came back.
Wen Yao had been busy all afternoon and was finally able to eat potato pancakes. He and Zhang Mu made a lot of them. They were closed recently, and everyone closed their doors. They all went to the backyard to wait for dinner.
Wen Yao saw Xu Yurong among the crowd, Xu Yurong nodded at him and said, "Brother Wen has to bother you again today."
"Brother Xu, wherever he is, treat this place as his own home."
Xu Yurong said with a smile: "Then brother Yu would be respectful rather than obedient."
In addition to potato cakes, Wen Yao also cooked some other foods, such as Mai Shao, dumplings and rice balls that will be launched soon.
When Xu Yurong saw it for the first time, Liuqing gave him a rice ball and said with a smile, "This is called a rice ball, and it's delicious."
Noticing that he didn't use serving chopsticks, Xu Yurong's eyes were dark, and he responded, lowered his head and bit his mouth, it was soft and glutinous, and his mouth was full of sweetness and the smell of seaweed.
Liu Qing looked expectant and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
"good to eat."
Liu Qing frowned, and chose a big one for Kong Wu, "Eat more."
Kong Wu hummed lightly, ignoring Xu Yurong's gaze.
At that time, there was a sudden sound of thump, thump, thump.
"Who—is here?" Shun'an didn't have time to swallow, when he heard the knock on the door, he howled reflexively, almost choking.
Among the few people, Zhou Yun was not greedy. He got up and said, "I'll go and see."
Wen Yao nodded.
People have left quickly.
After waiting for a while, there was no sound, Wen Yao keenly sensed that something was wrong, he said something to everyone, got up and walked out.
He almost bumped into someone at the corner, he raised his head and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"I miss you." Ye Chu said pulling people.
Wen Yao felt sweet, "Me too."
Li Quan and Zhou Yun behind them each reduced their sense of presence.
"Have you had dinner yet?" Wen Yao pulled him to the backyard.
"Didn't eat." Ye Chu clasped his fingers with his backhand, "What about you?"
"I'm eating, join them." Wen Yao slowed down, "Xu Yurong is also here, do you want to eat with everyone?"
"Listen to you."
Wen Yao smiled in front of him.
As soon as Shun'an raised his head, he saw the two people coming holding hands, and when he took a closer look, the emperor actually came!
Shun'an choked suddenly and couldn't stop coughing, Zhou Li beside him patted his back.
Wen Yao pulled the people into their seats and told them to relax.
There is no reason to be unrestrained at the same table with the emperor. A meal is trembling, as if facing an abyss.
Xu Yurong didn't feel much, and greeted Liuqing to eat and drink as usual.
After the meal, Zhang Mu and Xiaode cleaned up, and Xu Yurong took Xu Feng to leave.
As the sky was getting dark, Wen Yao and Ye Chu strolled in the courtyard, holding hands.
The stars and the moon are shining, and the cold wind is hunting.
Ye Chu asked, "Is it cold?"
"A bit." Wen Yao said, "It's windy at night, shall we go inside?"
Ye Chu nodded, took his hand, and went back to the room to rest.
The two were lying on the bed, Wen Yao looked at the curtain above his head, and asked, "Is there any news about the assassin who killed Jiang Sushang?"
"Find one." Ye Chu said truthfully.
Let alone Wen Yao's intelligence now, sooner or later he will figure it out.
Wen Yao turned sideways and stared at him, his black eyes were extraordinarily bright under the faint toad light, "Did you catch him?"
"Ah."
"Do you know who it is?" Wen Yao asked.
I remembered Ye Chu's conjecture not long ago.
"He Linjia."
Wen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Chu touched his face and said, "He and Shen Ran are old friends."
Wen Yao's heart twitched again.
Ye Chu comforted: "Don't worry, if it's really him, I will save his life."
"Do you think Li Quan knows him?"
Ye Chu: "Who? He Linjia?"
Wen Yao nodded.
Ye Chu frowned, as if thinking of something, he turned sideways, faced Wen Yao, and rubbed his head, "Li Quan should have seen He Linjia."
"Years ago?"
"Still sleeping?" Ye Chu hugged him, and whispered in his ear: "If you want to know something nice to say, I'll let Li Quan tell you."
Wen Yaoxin said that Li Quan might not listen to you, so he leaned over and kissed him, "Is this okay? Husband."
Ye Chu stroked his exposed white neck, his voice was hoarse and low, "This alone is not enough, let me teach you."
Wen Yao was confused for a while, and was kissed.
Pry open, drill into...
Back and forth, in and out...
Wen Yao only felt that he had no strength in his body, and then he had no time to think about other things.
The next day, Wen Yao didn't wake up until near noon, and Ye Chu specially asked Xiaode to teach him to make lean meat porridge.
Ye Chu had never cooked before, and it took a lot of effort to make a decent bowl of lean meat porridge.
Pushing open the door, Ye Chu saw that someone was awake, and Ye Chu said, "Want to eat?"
"Let's eat." Wen Yao was fully dressed and asked, "What time is it?"
"Noon."
Ye Chu approached and rubbed his disheveled hair, Wen Yao felt a little embarrassed, "I've been sleeping for so long."
"It's not too long." Ye Chu asked someone to come in to take a shower, then turned around and touched Wen Yao's cheek, "I slept late last night, and I just woke up."
"Don't touch." Wen Yao grabbed his hand, "I haven't washed my face yet."
"It's okay." Ye Chu smiled lightly, "It's smooth and tender."
Wen Yao was amused, "It's not tofu."
Ye Chu also laughed.
Li Quan came in with a wash bag and put it on the red lacquered spring stool.
Wen Yao said, "Did Wen Sheng catch it?"
Li Quan was startled, as if he was thinking about how to answer. He peeked at Ye Chu, but the master's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see anything. He said, "I haven't caught it yet, why did the little master suddenly ask about this?"
"I thought of it suddenly." Wen Yao covered it up with a few words.
Li Quan turned around to go out, Wen Yao said again: "Brother Li knows He Linjia?"
Li Quan turned around slowly, looked at Wen Yao, "I know."
"I knew you before?"
"I met once a few years ago." Li Quan said truthfully.
Wen Yao washed his face and hands, Li Quanduan went to wash his hands, twisted himself out of the room.
"Do you think what he said is credible?" Wen Yao asked.
Ye Chu stared at him, and asked without answering, "What do Yaoyao think? Do you believe what he said?"
Wen Yao thought about Li Quan's personality, and Li Quan's loyalty to Ye Chu, he nodded, "I believe, there is no need for Brother Li to lie to me."
"He really doesn't need it." Ye Chu took him by the hand, took him to sit down in front of the bronze mirror, took out the wooden comb, and gently combed Wen Yao's long green hair, "Li Quan, he was originally from a famous family. The whole family was killed."
If his family members were killed, Wen Yao shuddered before he could think about it, "Has the murderer been caught?"
"No." Ye Chu put on the jade inlay and tied his hair crown for him, "Li Quan has been looking for it, and after several years, he still hasn't found anything."
After combing his hair, Wen Yao turned around and looked at him squarely, "Is there a possibility that Wen Sheng was the one who killed Big Brother Li's family?"
Ye Chu raised his eyebrows slightly. He had heard from Li Quan that he was only five years old when the murder was committed. Later, he moved among his relatives and met the Taifu when he was 13 years old.
Li Quan is two years older than him.
He had just turned three years old that year, and Su Yunmian married Wen Sheng not long ago.
Wen Yaojian asked, "What do you remember?"
"Li Quan is two years older than me, and his family members were five years old when they were killed."
Wen Yao raised his eyebrows slightly. In the first year when foreigners invaded the border, Su Yunmian went out with his father and won the battle with catapults, crossbows, etc., and returned to Beijing in the same year. The late emperor gave him a reward, but Su Yunmian refused and only asked for an order to enter the palace. After that, more than a month later, he often went in and out of the palace. Before that, the late emperor should have seen Su Yunmian?Or did Su Yunmian tell his father that the catapult and crossbow were privately made by the Beiding Army?
In the second year, Su Yunmian married Wen Sheng. In the same year, Li Quan's family was killed, and Su Yunmian was imprisoned by Wen Sheng.
When was he born?
Is it possible that Wen Sheng asked someone to kill Li Quan's family members, but why did he do this and what was his motive?
How did Su Yunmian die?
Wen Yao's mind was in chaos, and he always felt that something was guiding him, but he couldn't grasp it no matter what.
"Don't think too much, go eat, I specially prepared lean meat porridge for you."
"You did it?" Wen Yao's eyes lit up, and he stood up and put his arms around Ye Chu's waist.
Ye Chu scratched his straight nose and said with a smile, "Yes, eat inside or outside?"
"Let's go outside." Wen Yao leaned lazily on him, Ye Chu smiled softly, half hugged and half hugged him out, Li Quan was outside the door, Ye Chu said to him: "Bring the porridge, in the courtyard eat in."
"Yes." Li Quan left quickly.
The two ate on the bluestone table in the backyard. In front of Wen Yao was a bowl of not-so-good-looking lean meat porridge. In front of Ye Chu was the fried rice prepared by Xiaode, the remaining ingredients of the lean meat porridge used in the fried rice.
"Your one tastes better." Wen Yao stared eagerly at the fried rice, Ye Chu couldn't laugh or cry, listening to the sound of him swallowing, scooped a spoonful of porridge to Wen Yao's mouth with a silver spoon, Wen Yao glanced at him , lower your head to hold/into your mouth.
The lean pork porridge contains not only shredded lean pork but also red radish, coriander and corn kernels.
It is colorful and looks very appetizing.
"How?" Ye Chu asked.
The taste was so-so, Wen Yao looked at him with a smile and said, "It's delicious, it's the first time I can make it like this, it's amazing."
"I've done it five times, and finally there's no more paste." Ye Chu smiled and said complacently.
The corner of Wen Yao's mouth twitched, next time don't let him cook.
How much food was wasted five times, he sighed in his heart, the person he likes is a prodigal, what should I do?
"Very good, how long did it take?"
"Soon, two hours." Ye Chu said with a smile.
Wen Yao smiled awkwardly, and emptied the bowl.
Ye Chu thought about learning something else next time, but he didn't expect to have such a skill.
In the afternoon, the spies sent out landed in the courtyard, Li Quan dragged them aside, and flew away after the spies reported, Li Quan knocked on the door of Wen Yao's room.
"Come in."
It was Wen Yao's voice.
