Previously, Xiao Shuo went to the palace alone to face the saint, Yun Lang stayed in the mansion and waited for half a day, not knowing how Xiao Shuo was in the palace, and he couldn't let go of his mind.
It's not suitable for him to show up outside with great fanfare, and he wanted to find an opportunity to go to the palace for a walk.He came out quietly, and only after saying hello to the old master who was guarding outside the palace, the old man hugged his legs tightly in fear.
Yun Lang was idle and had nothing to do, so he simply covered it up completely and robbed the coachman of his job.
But I didn't expect that the prince just left the palace, and he was going to sing and sing every night at the Zuixian Tower, spending the day and drinking.
"When did I say—"
Xiao Shuo got angry for a while, and controlled his temper: "It's just a few words, don't make use of it, and don't let it go."
"That's Zuixianlou." Yun Lang could still remember the previous events, "I just went to eat two chestnuts, even the little prince won't let me."
Xiao Shuo: "..."
Yun Lang turned over the old score with him: "They also trained me out of the restaurant, saying that I didn't study well and came to this messy place."
Xiao Shuo gritted his teeth and glanced at the jade pendant on his waist: "... Yun Lang."
"Turn your head around." Yun Lang was a little disappointed, and sighed in a dignified manner, "The prince is going to have a good time..."
Xiao Shuo couldn't listen anymore, he groped from the side of the carriage, opened a hidden compartment, took out a delicate snack and stuffed it into General Yun's mouth.
Yun Lang was caught off guard, stuffed his mouth full, and swallowed hard for a long time: "Why is there still food?"
Xiao Shuo frowned: "You want it."
"When did I want it?" Yun Lang was at a loss for a while, he liked these ingenious little things so much that he didn't care about them, he leaned over to look at Xiao Shuo's arm, "How did you open it? Click again and I'll see... ..."
Xiao Shuo took a look at Yun Lang, raised his hand to press the cover, pushed it half an inch inward, and lifted it again.
The camera obscura was extremely delicately designed, the seams were inconspicuous, and could hardly be seen from the outside.Inside is a brocade box, and there are several snacks on the small white jade tray, all of which are cute and ingenious, with a transparent glass cover on the top.
"There is a special person to replace them, they are all fresh." Xiao Shuo said, "If you are hungry, take them out and eat them yourself."
Yun Lang was in high spirits, so he responded casually, pressed the cover, pushed and opened it several times.
"You also have it over there." Xiao Shuo poked him back, "Find it yourself, there is sugar steamed crisp cheese inside."
Yun Lang's eyes lit up, and he immediately searched around carefully, and sure enough, he also found a small hidden box.
"Who made this?" Yun Lang was in high spirits, and brought out the crispy cheese tremblingly and carefully, "Such an ingenious idea deserves a reward..."
Xiao Shuo watched him toss around, closed his eyes, and his expression softened slightly, and said softly, "What's the reward?"
"You don't understand that."
Yun Lang loved to eat these sweet snacks since he was a child, so he took a spoonful and put it in his mouth, "Since I want to reward, what's the point of having a reward?"
"Since it's a reward, it's natural for people to choose it themselves." Yun Lang patiently taught Xiao Wangye, "The reward is only right if it suits your heart."
Xiao Shuo sat quietly for a moment, wrote down his words, and nodded.
"This shortbread is good, you should eat some."
Yun Lang pushed him over: "Sweet and smooth, not much worse than the ones in the palace..."
"Although you know all the paths in the palace like the palm of your hand, don't be too careless and run into it at will."
Xiao Shuo was about to talk about this, but he lost his appetite, so he shook his head and handed the spoon back to Yunlang: "I saw the defenses in the palace today, although they are not impenetrable, they are much tighter than before. .”
Xiao Shuo looked at him, and said slowly: "I just entered the palace, the emperor will not touch me for a while, so you don't have to worry too much."
Yun Lang was exposed by him, coughed, and said embarrassingly, "When have you been worried? I'm here to keep an eye on you."
"If I don't come and watch." Yun Lang was unhappy, "You must go to Zuixian Tower and order a hundred little girls who can dance."
Xiao Shuo couldn't understand what he heard, but couldn't help it: "Why do you want to order a hundred—"
"Look!" The villain Yunlang complained first, "You didn't even ask why you wanted a little girl!"
Xiao Shuo: "..."
Yun Lang finally got hold of King Yan, his eyes were burning, and he pressed Xiao Shuo not to let him run away.
It is rare for Xiao Xiaowang to encounter such a troublesome person, and he was accused for no reason, and he almost couldn't keep up with the situation for a while.
The car is not very stable on the road after all.He was firmly held down by Yunlang, and seeing General Yun wobbled a few times as he was about to hit the roof of the car, he subconsciously raised his hand to cushion him.
"Rubbing your head and other tricks will no longer work."
Yun Lang waited for a long time, but he didn't see the hand coming down, so he stood on tiptoe and rubbed it randomly twice: "I want the lord to find a chance to have a drunken scolding with me, so we can get well. "
Xiao Shuo hasn't recovered yet: "What are you scolding?"
"How do I know." Yun Lang frowned, "Why are you unhappy? We can just scold you, and if you don't let me enter the palace, I can't lie on the roof and listen..."
Xiao Shuo was silent for a moment, raised his hand to cover Yunlang's back, and closed his eyes.
Over the years, Xiao Shuo sometimes even felt lucky that General Yun was born with a carefree nature, with a bright heart and a clear heart, and he never knew what it meant to ask for trouble.
Sometimes... But I want to tie people up with hatred, no matter how much I beg for mercy, I will ignore them, and teach them a solid lesson.
He was only slapped three times before, but he has been blackmailed by the young master until now.Xiao Shuo dispelled his thoughts, exerted a little force between his arms, and said in a low voice, "Yunlang."
"Here." Yun Lang lowered his head and took a closer look at his face, "Would you like to drink?"
Xiao Shuo whispered, "I don't want to go."
Yun Lang didn't force him, and tried his best to search around: "Then don't go... Do you want to go home and smash things?"
Xiao Shuojing closed her eyes and shook her head: "I don't want to smash it."
Yun Lang glanced at him, then touched Xiao Shuo's wrist without any trace, and as soon as he touched it, it fell into Xiao Shuo's palm.
Yun Lang was held by him, frowning.
As soon as he got into the carriage, he felt that Xiao Wangye's hands were too cold, after all this time, they still haven't warmed up thoroughly.
Yun Lang simply followed his example, pulled Xiao Shuo's hand over, hugged Wu and said, "Do you want to beat me up..."
Xiao Shuo: "..."
Xiao Shuo couldn't figure it out, so he opened his eyes: "Yun Lang, is this what I look like in your heart?"
Yun Lang was startled: "Huh?"
"Drink, smash things, beat people."
Xiao Shuo let him go: "When did I become so unreasonable?"
As soon as Yun Lang was summed up by him, he realized something strange and was stunned for a while: "That's not right..."
Xiao Xiaowang is obviously still the same as in the old days, he gets annoyed and forgets when he is teased, he is very bullying.
It was rare for Yun Lang to be considerate, but he ruined King Yan's reputation like this for no reason, and felt very guilty for a moment: "It's my fault."
Xiao Shuo was still introspecting, but he frowned when he heard this: "What?"
"The way to coax you is wrong." Yun Lang straightened up, listened carefully to the movement outside, "Stop the car."
The old master had just driven the carriage past the Old Song Gate, when he heard the order from behind, he hurriedly stopped the carriage: "Young Master?"
"Have you arrived at Jingde Temple?" Yun Lang took Xiao Shuo's cloak, put it on, and tied it carefully, "Stop for a while, and leave later."
The old master leaned forward and took a closer look: "It's the empty space behind the temple."
The incense in Jingde Temple has not been very prosperous in recent years, and the empty space behind the temple has been handed over to the imperial army to garrison the fields, but no one takes care of it carefully.
Now a piece of weeds fell in the dark sky, reflecting the distant incense of the temple, it almost had a sense of coldness and desolation.
This place is very quiet on weekdays, and few people go there.The old master didn't know, so he leaned forward and said: "But what's the matter? Just tell the servants to do it, you—"
"Wait." Yun Lang pressed Xiao Shuo into the car, and jumped out of the car by himself.He has always had excellent eyesight, so he searched for a while in the weeds, and finally spotted what he was looking for.
Xiao Shuo got out of the car, but didn't respond to the old master's inquiry, just looked at him quietly.
Yun Lang raised his right hand, and transformed into a dagger, which was firmly stuck into the tree trunk for an inch.He lifted himself up, stepped on the dagger to borrow strength, twisted his waist and stretched out his hand, grabbed something, grabbed the branch with his right hand and swung it, and it fell back to the ground steadily.
Yun Lang himself hadn't used this set of movements for a long time.At this moment, he still felt a little breathless, so he held on to the tree trunk to stabilize himself.
The old master was worried and hurried to help, but Xiao Shuo raised his hand to stop him.
Yun Lang caught his breath, smiled at Xiao Shuo, and came over with clenched fists: "Extend your hand."
Xiao Shuo stared at him fixedly, meeting the bright moonlight in General Yun's eyes, the unprovoked troubles disappeared for a moment.
He knew what Yunlang was grabbing, and raised his hands to wrap around the hand that Yunlang was still clenched.
In Bianliang City, there is only one spot of freshly dried hot spring behind Jingde Temple.
The peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom, the spring temperature is hot, and the scenery varies from season to season. There are still flowers and plants in the middle of winter.
The fireflies that are supposed to survive the winter as pupae are occasionally confused by the heat of the earth, thinking that the flowers are blooming in the warm spring.Break out of the ground and grow ahead of time.
Xiao Shuo picked up Liu Ying who was dizzy and misunderstood the season, opened his hand, and looked at the bright stars attracted by the palm's enthusiasm.
"Lucky, I found it."
Yun Lang's throat was itchy due to the cold wind at night, he coughed twice, and looked at him happily: "Aren't you angry?"
There are no fireflies in winter in Japan. Even though this place is special, it is rare to meet one.When the two were young, no matter what Xiao Shuo was unhappy about, they could be coaxed with this.
"It's said in the scriptures, this thing is auspicious." Yun Lang looked decent, and cast a spell on Xiao Wangye's head, "Light it once and everything will go well, light it twice for a year of peace, and light it three times for everything to come—"
The firefly was warmed by the palm for a moment, got up groggyly, flapped its wings a few times, and flew up staggeringly.
"Hey!" Before Yun Lang finished reading, he quickly jumped up, "Hurry up—"
Xiao Shuo raised his hand and grabbed Yun Lang's wrist.
"Catch it! Why catch me?!" Yun Lang was very worried, "You haven't got what you want!"
"It's more than half done." Xiao Shuo took him by the hand and said slowly, "I'm fine, let's go back home."
"Didn't you always like this?"
Yun Lang was so regretful that he turned around and tried his best to find the traces of breaking the ground: "Forget it, when I have time later, I will come and catch you some more..."
Xiao Shuo shook his head: "This is not what I like."
"Pretend." Yun Lang tutted, "I don't know who lost one when I was young, and I have been worrying about it for a month."
Xiao Shuo couldn't persuade him, so he simply pulled him up from the ground, held him firmly, and got into the carriage together: "It's really not this."
Yun Lang was raised in a nearby courtyard since he was a child, and he discovered this place by accident when he ran around when he was young.
The first time Xiao Shuo was brought by him was the brightest summer day, and the moonlight was much better than today.
Both of them were only seven or eight years old, Xiao Yunlang was taken care of very carefully by the former empress, and he was wearing a silver and white brocade robe with the dark patterns of wandering dragons.
She was transparent and clean, and even her hairband was pure white. There was only a thin red thread hanging around her neck, and it was tied to the life-threatening jade unicorn.
Little Xiao Shuo stood under the tree, watching Yun Lang reach out to pick up some streamer, jumped down from the tree with a smile, and held his hand in front of his eyes.
……
Xiao Shuo looked away from the car window, and saw that all these years he would only use this hand to tease him, but he didn't realize it, and now he was still talking about the young Lord Yun who regretted the fireflies.
He closed his eyes, pressed Yun Lang back to his side, and took a firm look at it with his arms.
For the seventh time in recent days, I pushed back the absurd idea of still wanting to tie someone to the couch for some reason, and then give him a solid spanking.
After returning to the mansion, Xiao Shuo retreated from the others, and briefly explained the situation in the palace to Yun Lang.
"It's as good as you expected."
Xiao Shuo closed the window, asked someone to bring ginseng tea, and stuffed Yun Lang on the warm couch: "The emperor heard that I knew something else, his face changed, and he almost couldn't pretend."
"He's most afraid of this, his face doesn't change." Yun Lang was wrapped twice by him, unable to laugh or cry, "I just went down to catch a bug, so I wouldn't be frozen like this..."
Xiao Shuo was unmoved: "Preparation is safe."
Imperial Physician Liang agreed to cure Yunlang, and has been running around looking for medicine these days, even if Yunlang does not return to the clinic, he has no time to stare at the discipline.
Even with the help of Mrs. Cai, finding those old friends of Xinglin back then, and completely curing the person, I'm afraid it's not as easy as it looks.
Xiao Shuo kept a strict eye on him, and never gave Yun Lang a chance to make troubles: "When you recover, jump into the Bian River and swim back and forth ten times, and I don't care about you."
Yun Lang couldn't figure it out: "What am I going to swim in Bianshui? There are no fireflies in the water."
"..." Xiao Shuo wrapped him up tightly, and tied him with a belt: "I followed what you said, I only said that someone used the truth of the year as bait to lure me to cooperate in the assassination, and he really tricked him."
Yun Lang was abducted by him, thought for a while, then nodded: "So...our emperor should already know who is plotting to kill him."
"Although the Department of Bodyguards hasn't found out yet, he must have the answer in his heart."
Yun Lang pondered: "So even if you are ambiguous, he will naturally complete the whole story for you in his heart."
Xiao Shuo nodded, blew on the ginseng tea, took a sip himself, and handed it to Yun Lang.
Yun Lang was indeed a little thirsty, he drank it all in one gulp, and handed back the empty cup: "You guessed right then, judging by his attitude, this assassination really doesn't look like it came from outside."
Xiao Shuo took it and added another half for him: "It's just that the envoy, he didn't explain it to me until the end."
"He wants to drive away tigers and wolves. He is afraid that you will be scared away when he hears it, so naturally he won't tell you in advance."
Yun Lang smiled: "When you have done a few things for him and the hostility has become established and there is no way out, I will tell you."
Xiao Shuo sneered, took the iron chisel, and slowly turned on the glowing charcoal fire under the red clay stove.
"The matter is over, don't worry about it for the time being." Yun Lang was so bound that it was difficult to move. After a while, he finally regained his freedom and moved to his side, "There is one thing... I am still not at ease."
Xiao Shuo raised his eyes: "What?"
"The winter solstice will be here soon." Yun Lang said, "If someone takes advantage of the chaos to assassinate the emperor again, what should we do?"
Xiao Shuo's eyes suddenly turned cold, dimmed for a moment, and turned his head.
"Isn't that why you went to see the palace defense today?"
Yun Lang pressed Xiao Shuo's arm: "Now it seems that our emperor has made up his mind to hide it. Not only will he not investigate this matter thoroughly, but he will also pretend to be powerless, so that the other party can get a little success."
"Self-destruct the Great Wall." Xiao Shuo was already mentally prepared, but he still couldn't suppress his disgust, "Today he actually told me...the surroundings are peaceful, and there is no city to take away."
Xiao Shuo's tone was extremely serious: "I'm obsessed with power and strategy, I don't think at all that if I show weakness at this time and make the capital appear weak, once it falls into the eyes of those Rongdi tribes on the border—"
"This matter..." Yun Lang pulled the corners of his mouth and fell silent for a moment, "You have to prepare sooner or later."
Xiao Shuo's eyes froze, and he stared at him firmly: "What do you mean?"
"I was a little worried about this back then."
Yun Lang said: "You also know that there has always been a saying in the DPRK...it is better to negotiate peace with the border tribal countries and give them old coins in exchange for the peace of the four borders instead of resorting to war."
"I know about this." Xiao Shuo said coldly, "In the past few years, the court has formulated regulations. It is said that it is a reward for all countries, giving money and tea silk... It is just a fig leaf barely covered."
Yun Lang nodded, held his hand, and pressed it lightly twice.
"Speak up if you have something to say." Xiao Shuo couldn't see him like this, and looked into Yun Lang's eyes, "What's missing, I haven't thought of it yet?"
"It's not unexpected."
Yun Lang smiled: "You are not very familiar with those tribes in northern Xinjiang. They are different from other places. All tribes are brave and good at fighting, and they are very ambitious."
Yun Lang lowered his gaze, and slowly said: "It's just money and goods, which can't feed them. They have been nomadic for generations, living by water and grass, and the weather outside the Great Wall is harsh..."
Xiao Shuo stared at Yun Lang firmly, sat quietly for a moment, then got up suddenly.
Yun Lang grabbed him, "Xiao Shuo!"
Xiao Shuo clenched his teeth, he looked at Yun Lang, and couldn't speak for a moment, as if being poured over his head by a basin of ice water, a bone-chilling chill emerged from the cracks in his bones.
"I told you first, because I was afraid that this matter would be brought up during the Winter Solstice. You didn't prepare in advance, and in a hurry—"
Yun Lang also didn't know what to say for a while, clutching his arm, cleared his throat: "The response... may not be appropriate."
"How decent." Xiao Shuo closed his eyes, "Tell them to hand over the city you fought so hard to the Rong and Di people as a bargaining chip?"
Yun Lang tensed his shoulders and turned his head sideways.
Xiao Shuo helped Yun Lang back to the couch, looked at him quietly for a while, and said in a low voice, "There is no need to talk about this matter."
"Xiao Shuo." Yun Lang said in a low voice, "Believe me, if I can hit him once, I can hit him a second time."
"When the court situation is stable, you help me keep an eye on the court, so that I don't have any worries."
Yun Lang looked at him: "I know better than anyone how to fight this battle, you believe me, Yan Yun will be ours sooner or later, you—"
"Yun Lang." Xiao Shuo lowered his eyes, "I entered the palace today, but you came out to look for me, why did you bring a dagger?"
Yun Lang didn't want him to pay attention to this, his heart beat slightly, his shoulders and back were stiff, and he couldn't speak.
"You came up with this idea and told me to seek victory in a dangerous situation. I am not afraid that the emperor will suspect you because of this, nor that the emperor will force you to die."
Xiao Shuo said: "But you are afraid that I will not respond properly, that the emperor will see our plan, and that I will be impulsive in the palace."
"So you took a dagger and waited at the place closest to me."
Xiao Shuo raised his gaze and landed on Yun Lang: "What you said at that time was not a joke. If something happened to me, you would indeed try to rob me to the death and run as far as you can."
"What are you talking about...?"
Yun Lang's fingers were a little stiff, and he moved slowly, tugging at the corner of his mouth: "It's really just to catch a firefly for you..."
Xiao Shuo saw that his mouth was stiff, and did not refute, and continued to say, "It's the same this time."
"I did say that when it came time to make a choice, I regret that you never chose me."
Xiao Shuo looked at him: "But I also told you at that time... This is an angry word, not to tell you to choose me against your will next time you encounter such a thing."
Yun Lang lowered his head and murmured: "But I don't—"
Xiao Shuo: "What?"
"No." Yunlang's ears felt hot, he tilted his head uncomfortably, and pursed the corners of his mouth, "Tell me."
"There's nothing more to say."
Xiao Shuo glanced at him: "I will never nod my head on this matter. If the emperor insists on cede land for peace, I will hit the pillar of the hall."
"..." Yun Lang's mood was a little complicated, and he held onto him tightly: "Stop talking to Yu Shi Zhongcheng all the time."
"Father is in charge of the Shuofang army and guarding Yanyun."
Xiao Shuo ignored it, and sat in front of the couch: "I would rather die than agree to cede the land, it won't make people feel strange."
"That being said." Yun Lang said in a low voice, "If you act against the emperor so openly, I will eventually..."
Xiao Shuo said calmly, "You are afraid that I will be like my father—"
"What nonsense!" Yun Lang suppressed his uneasiness and settled down, "There is a god standing three feet above your head, can you say something good?"
Xiao Shuo didn't continue, but after a moment of silence, he said again: "If you don't cut off the border town, from your point of view, how will the northern side react? Will Rongdi raise troops to attack?"
"I have tried my best to break them up. In a year or two, there may be a few small battles, but not major battles."
Yun Lang thought about it carefully: "After three years, it's unpredictable."
Xiao Shuo nodded: "That's enough."
"Even if the northern border can be defended, what about the emperor?"
Yun Lang was still worried: "If the emperor annoys you because of this, I'm afraid you will be in a much more uncomfortable situation in the court..."
"Since he wants to use me, he won't tear himself apart from me."
Xiao Shuo didn't take it seriously: "Benefits and powers are given together, punishments are just punishments, it won't really matter."
Yun Lang really couldn't think of anything else to persuade him, so he remained silent for a long while, then he was discouraged: "Oh."
Xiao Shuo raised his hand, and just touched Yun Lang's shoulder, Young Master Yun had already collapsed on the couch, furiously silent, and covered his head tightly with the quilt.
"Yunlang." Xiao Shuo looked at him tossing and said softly, "If you let the border town go, you won't be the one who suffers the most."
At one moment Yun Lang was worried that Xiao Shuo would be punished to kneel down, and at the other moment he was afraid that he would be punished by the emperor, so he ignored him distractedly and moved to the corner of the couch by himself.
Xiao Shuo opened a small mouth for him to breathe in: "You are so blocked and don't talk to me, the most uncomfortable thing is you."
Xiao Shuo: "No one bothers me, I am happy and quiet."
Yun Lang: "..."
Xiao Shuo took the book: "I will eat all the dim sum, so I don't need to keep it for you."
Yun Lang: "..."
Xiao Shuo turned a page of the book: "I went to Zuixianlou to watch silk and bamboo singing and dancing, and I didn't take you with me..."
"Xiao Shuo!" Yun Lang lifted the quilt and sat up, grinding his teeth, "Why did you go to Zuixian Tower again?!"
"I'm bored, and I can't get rid of it."
Xiao Shuo found a way to deal with him, removed the quilt, and straightened his clothes for Major General Yun: "Not only did I fail to defend you, but now I can't even defend the city you conquered."
Yun Lang sat on the couch, and he slowly straightened out his clothes. After a long while, he muttered in a low voice, "Don't... always care about these things."
"Isn't this... the city is here, so am I?"
Yun Lang didn't quite know how to explain people seriously, so he glanced at Xiao Shuo's expression, "Don't go to Zuixianlou, let me play the flute for you?"
"You can play the flute?"
Xiao Shuo looked at him: "At the beginning you played the flute for three days, but you couldn't make it sound. In the end, you became angry and split it to make a slingshot."
Yun Lang coughed, "Then play the piano, I will always..."
Xiao Shuo: "You have been learning the piano for half a month, and the empress sent people to search the palace for half a month. Who is playing the cotton?"
"..." Yun Lang jumped up at the desk: "This is no good, that's no good, what on earth are you looking for in Zuixianlou?!"
Xiao Shuo looked at Yun Lang's still red ears, and for some reason, his heart moved slightly.
In fact, he didn't really plan to go to any restaurant, and he was not interested in the so-called silk and bamboo singing and dancing at all.
There is nothing to be angry about this matter, whether Yun Lang agrees or disagrees, he will not hand over half an inch of the city that Yun Lang personally brought down.
Since there is no need to argue, let alone get angry about it.
But... General Yun Shao still owes him a reward.
General Yun Shao said in person that the snack box on the carriage was well made, so he was allowed to choose it himself.
Xiao Shuo sat quietly for a while, lowered his gaze, and said something in a low voice.
"..." Yun Lang almost suspected that he had heard it wrong: "You like this?!"
Xiao Shuo frowned and lightly clenched his fists.
He also knew that this idea was really absurd and rude, but once it popped up, he couldn't hold it any longer: "It's fine if it doesn't work."
"There's nothing wrong with it..." Yun Lang looked at him for a while, "Wait."
Xiao Shuo raised his eyes and opened his mouth in a hurry, Yun Lang had already jumped off the couch and walked out the door quickly.
The old master heard that the situation in the study was not right, and when he hurried over, Young Master Yun was sitting on the window lattice of the study.
The hem of the clothes was pinned up, the sleeves were rolled up, and the cattail fan was in one hand, skillfully fanning the roasted whole lamb.
Xiao Shuo was neatly dressed, sitting on the rockery, his face sinking like water.
"What did the lord say?"
The old master hid in a corner, looked at the strange situation in front of him, and panicked for a moment: "How did you get to this point?"
"The prince told the young master." Xuan Tiewei thought for a while, "I want to eat something made by the young master, so let the young master feed him."
The old master: "..."
The old master couldn't find any questions for a while: "So the little duke got a sheep?"
"At first, I wanted to shoot a wild boar." Xuan Tiewei said, "It's too time-consuming, and it's not easy to transport it back."
The old master had mixed feelings: "...Oh."
"The chef in Zuixianlou has prepared the dishes, will a maid serve them and feed them to the diners?"
Xuan Tiewei was a little curious: "The lord said he likes this, if the young master doesn't do it, he will go to Zuixian Tower."
"How is it possible?!" The old master thought it was extremely absurd, "My lord has never allowed others to get close, let alone such absurd acts... Even if the dishes are served by others, the lord never touches a chopstick!"
Xuan Tiewei snorted, a little disappointed, and went back to dutifully help Young Lord Yun flip the roast lamb.
The old master had a rough idea of what the prince was thinking, after thinking for a while, he vaguely guessed what was going on, and looked quietly.
Yun Lang roasted these things a lot in the frontier, commanding the Xuan Tiewei and his own soldiers to help together, constantly flipping the sheep to even out the firepower.He skillfully copied the dagger himself, stabbed the sheep a few times at intervals, and carefully smeared the seasoning honey.
Yunlang had a jade pendant on his waist, making it inconvenient to do things, and he was worried that the tassel would be a fire.Too busy to look after her, she simply asked for a cloth towel and wiped her hands carefully, took off the jade pendant, put it on a string, put it around her neck, and tucked it into her clothes along the collar.
The old master looked at the jade pendant, then at the prince sitting beside him, and sighed softly: "Go...get some grapes brought as a tribute from the Western Regions."
The old master looked at the young master who roasted the sheep with a golden knife in Malaysia, racked his brains, and tried his best to create an atmosphere: "Put the best-looking glass cups, put two pieces of ice, the ice should be clear, and the grape wine should only be the clearest." That floor."
"Also, find someone in the house who can play the piano."
The old master: "Play a nice, elegant and interesting piece. It should seem to be invisible, and you can hear it, but you can't hear it clearly when you listen carefully, as if it is playing in your head."
The old master specially instructed: "Hide it well, and don't let the young master see it."
Xuan Tiewei went in without knowing it, and arranged everything according to his words, and brought clear grape wine with ice, and handed it to the old master.
The old master was holding a sandalwood tray carved with dark patterns, holding the cold, sour and sweet grape wine, listening to the faint sound of the piano, holding his breath, and carefully passed by.
After walking two steps, he saw the young master lift up the hem of his clothes, tuck them around his waist, and sat down gracefully with a whole roasted lamb on his shoulders.
I cut a piece of the fattest and tender hind leg meat, blew it carefully, and rolled it a few times in the pre-made dipping sauce.
He took a dagger and tied it up, and slammed all of them into the mouths of their lords.
It's not suitable for him to show up outside with great fanfare, and he wanted to find an opportunity to go to the palace for a walk.He came out quietly, and only after saying hello to the old master who was guarding outside the palace, the old man hugged his legs tightly in fear.
Yun Lang was idle and had nothing to do, so he simply covered it up completely and robbed the coachman of his job.
But I didn't expect that the prince just left the palace, and he was going to sing and sing every night at the Zuixian Tower, spending the day and drinking.
"When did I say—"
Xiao Shuo got angry for a while, and controlled his temper: "It's just a few words, don't make use of it, and don't let it go."
"That's Zuixianlou." Yun Lang could still remember the previous events, "I just went to eat two chestnuts, even the little prince won't let me."
Xiao Shuo: "..."
Yun Lang turned over the old score with him: "They also trained me out of the restaurant, saying that I didn't study well and came to this messy place."
Xiao Shuo gritted his teeth and glanced at the jade pendant on his waist: "... Yun Lang."
"Turn your head around." Yun Lang was a little disappointed, and sighed in a dignified manner, "The prince is going to have a good time..."
Xiao Shuo couldn't listen anymore, he groped from the side of the carriage, opened a hidden compartment, took out a delicate snack and stuffed it into General Yun's mouth.
Yun Lang was caught off guard, stuffed his mouth full, and swallowed hard for a long time: "Why is there still food?"
Xiao Shuo frowned: "You want it."
"When did I want it?" Yun Lang was at a loss for a while, he liked these ingenious little things so much that he didn't care about them, he leaned over to look at Xiao Shuo's arm, "How did you open it? Click again and I'll see... ..."
Xiao Shuo took a look at Yun Lang, raised his hand to press the cover, pushed it half an inch inward, and lifted it again.
The camera obscura was extremely delicately designed, the seams were inconspicuous, and could hardly be seen from the outside.Inside is a brocade box, and there are several snacks on the small white jade tray, all of which are cute and ingenious, with a transparent glass cover on the top.
"There is a special person to replace them, they are all fresh." Xiao Shuo said, "If you are hungry, take them out and eat them yourself."
Yun Lang was in high spirits, so he responded casually, pressed the cover, pushed and opened it several times.
"You also have it over there." Xiao Shuo poked him back, "Find it yourself, there is sugar steamed crisp cheese inside."
Yun Lang's eyes lit up, and he immediately searched around carefully, and sure enough, he also found a small hidden box.
"Who made this?" Yun Lang was in high spirits, and brought out the crispy cheese tremblingly and carefully, "Such an ingenious idea deserves a reward..."
Xiao Shuo watched him toss around, closed his eyes, and his expression softened slightly, and said softly, "What's the reward?"
"You don't understand that."
Yun Lang loved to eat these sweet snacks since he was a child, so he took a spoonful and put it in his mouth, "Since I want to reward, what's the point of having a reward?"
"Since it's a reward, it's natural for people to choose it themselves." Yun Lang patiently taught Xiao Wangye, "The reward is only right if it suits your heart."
Xiao Shuo sat quietly for a moment, wrote down his words, and nodded.
"This shortbread is good, you should eat some."
Yun Lang pushed him over: "Sweet and smooth, not much worse than the ones in the palace..."
"Although you know all the paths in the palace like the palm of your hand, don't be too careless and run into it at will."
Xiao Shuo was about to talk about this, but he lost his appetite, so he shook his head and handed the spoon back to Yunlang: "I saw the defenses in the palace today, although they are not impenetrable, they are much tighter than before. .”
Xiao Shuo looked at him, and said slowly: "I just entered the palace, the emperor will not touch me for a while, so you don't have to worry too much."
Yun Lang was exposed by him, coughed, and said embarrassingly, "When have you been worried? I'm here to keep an eye on you."
"If I don't come and watch." Yun Lang was unhappy, "You must go to Zuixian Tower and order a hundred little girls who can dance."
Xiao Shuo couldn't understand what he heard, but couldn't help it: "Why do you want to order a hundred—"
"Look!" The villain Yunlang complained first, "You didn't even ask why you wanted a little girl!"
Xiao Shuo: "..."
Yun Lang finally got hold of King Yan, his eyes were burning, and he pressed Xiao Shuo not to let him run away.
It is rare for Xiao Xiaowang to encounter such a troublesome person, and he was accused for no reason, and he almost couldn't keep up with the situation for a while.
The car is not very stable on the road after all.He was firmly held down by Yunlang, and seeing General Yun wobbled a few times as he was about to hit the roof of the car, he subconsciously raised his hand to cushion him.
"Rubbing your head and other tricks will no longer work."
Yun Lang waited for a long time, but he didn't see the hand coming down, so he stood on tiptoe and rubbed it randomly twice: "I want the lord to find a chance to have a drunken scolding with me, so we can get well. "
Xiao Shuo hasn't recovered yet: "What are you scolding?"
"How do I know." Yun Lang frowned, "Why are you unhappy? We can just scold you, and if you don't let me enter the palace, I can't lie on the roof and listen..."
Xiao Shuo was silent for a moment, raised his hand to cover Yunlang's back, and closed his eyes.
Over the years, Xiao Shuo sometimes even felt lucky that General Yun was born with a carefree nature, with a bright heart and a clear heart, and he never knew what it meant to ask for trouble.
Sometimes... But I want to tie people up with hatred, no matter how much I beg for mercy, I will ignore them, and teach them a solid lesson.
He was only slapped three times before, but he has been blackmailed by the young master until now.Xiao Shuo dispelled his thoughts, exerted a little force between his arms, and said in a low voice, "Yunlang."
"Here." Yun Lang lowered his head and took a closer look at his face, "Would you like to drink?"
Xiao Shuo whispered, "I don't want to go."
Yun Lang didn't force him, and tried his best to search around: "Then don't go... Do you want to go home and smash things?"
Xiao Shuojing closed her eyes and shook her head: "I don't want to smash it."
Yun Lang glanced at him, then touched Xiao Shuo's wrist without any trace, and as soon as he touched it, it fell into Xiao Shuo's palm.
Yun Lang was held by him, frowning.
As soon as he got into the carriage, he felt that Xiao Wangye's hands were too cold, after all this time, they still haven't warmed up thoroughly.
Yun Lang simply followed his example, pulled Xiao Shuo's hand over, hugged Wu and said, "Do you want to beat me up..."
Xiao Shuo: "..."
Xiao Shuo couldn't figure it out, so he opened his eyes: "Yun Lang, is this what I look like in your heart?"
Yun Lang was startled: "Huh?"
"Drink, smash things, beat people."
Xiao Shuo let him go: "When did I become so unreasonable?"
As soon as Yun Lang was summed up by him, he realized something strange and was stunned for a while: "That's not right..."
Xiao Xiaowang is obviously still the same as in the old days, he gets annoyed and forgets when he is teased, he is very bullying.
It was rare for Yun Lang to be considerate, but he ruined King Yan's reputation like this for no reason, and felt very guilty for a moment: "It's my fault."
Xiao Shuo was still introspecting, but he frowned when he heard this: "What?"
"The way to coax you is wrong." Yun Lang straightened up, listened carefully to the movement outside, "Stop the car."
The old master had just driven the carriage past the Old Song Gate, when he heard the order from behind, he hurriedly stopped the carriage: "Young Master?"
"Have you arrived at Jingde Temple?" Yun Lang took Xiao Shuo's cloak, put it on, and tied it carefully, "Stop for a while, and leave later."
The old master leaned forward and took a closer look: "It's the empty space behind the temple."
The incense in Jingde Temple has not been very prosperous in recent years, and the empty space behind the temple has been handed over to the imperial army to garrison the fields, but no one takes care of it carefully.
Now a piece of weeds fell in the dark sky, reflecting the distant incense of the temple, it almost had a sense of coldness and desolation.
This place is very quiet on weekdays, and few people go there.The old master didn't know, so he leaned forward and said: "But what's the matter? Just tell the servants to do it, you—"
"Wait." Yun Lang pressed Xiao Shuo into the car, and jumped out of the car by himself.He has always had excellent eyesight, so he searched for a while in the weeds, and finally spotted what he was looking for.
Xiao Shuo got out of the car, but didn't respond to the old master's inquiry, just looked at him quietly.
Yun Lang raised his right hand, and transformed into a dagger, which was firmly stuck into the tree trunk for an inch.He lifted himself up, stepped on the dagger to borrow strength, twisted his waist and stretched out his hand, grabbed something, grabbed the branch with his right hand and swung it, and it fell back to the ground steadily.
Yun Lang himself hadn't used this set of movements for a long time.At this moment, he still felt a little breathless, so he held on to the tree trunk to stabilize himself.
The old master was worried and hurried to help, but Xiao Shuo raised his hand to stop him.
Yun Lang caught his breath, smiled at Xiao Shuo, and came over with clenched fists: "Extend your hand."
Xiao Shuo stared at him fixedly, meeting the bright moonlight in General Yun's eyes, the unprovoked troubles disappeared for a moment.
He knew what Yunlang was grabbing, and raised his hands to wrap around the hand that Yunlang was still clenched.
In Bianliang City, there is only one spot of freshly dried hot spring behind Jingde Temple.
The peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom, the spring temperature is hot, and the scenery varies from season to season. There are still flowers and plants in the middle of winter.
The fireflies that are supposed to survive the winter as pupae are occasionally confused by the heat of the earth, thinking that the flowers are blooming in the warm spring.Break out of the ground and grow ahead of time.
Xiao Shuo picked up Liu Ying who was dizzy and misunderstood the season, opened his hand, and looked at the bright stars attracted by the palm's enthusiasm.
"Lucky, I found it."
Yun Lang's throat was itchy due to the cold wind at night, he coughed twice, and looked at him happily: "Aren't you angry?"
There are no fireflies in winter in Japan. Even though this place is special, it is rare to meet one.When the two were young, no matter what Xiao Shuo was unhappy about, they could be coaxed with this.
"It's said in the scriptures, this thing is auspicious." Yun Lang looked decent, and cast a spell on Xiao Wangye's head, "Light it once and everything will go well, light it twice for a year of peace, and light it three times for everything to come—"
The firefly was warmed by the palm for a moment, got up groggyly, flapped its wings a few times, and flew up staggeringly.
"Hey!" Before Yun Lang finished reading, he quickly jumped up, "Hurry up—"
Xiao Shuo raised his hand and grabbed Yun Lang's wrist.
"Catch it! Why catch me?!" Yun Lang was very worried, "You haven't got what you want!"
"It's more than half done." Xiao Shuo took him by the hand and said slowly, "I'm fine, let's go back home."
"Didn't you always like this?"
Yun Lang was so regretful that he turned around and tried his best to find the traces of breaking the ground: "Forget it, when I have time later, I will come and catch you some more..."
Xiao Shuo shook his head: "This is not what I like."
"Pretend." Yun Lang tutted, "I don't know who lost one when I was young, and I have been worrying about it for a month."
Xiao Shuo couldn't persuade him, so he simply pulled him up from the ground, held him firmly, and got into the carriage together: "It's really not this."
Yun Lang was raised in a nearby courtyard since he was a child, and he discovered this place by accident when he ran around when he was young.
The first time Xiao Shuo was brought by him was the brightest summer day, and the moonlight was much better than today.
Both of them were only seven or eight years old, Xiao Yunlang was taken care of very carefully by the former empress, and he was wearing a silver and white brocade robe with the dark patterns of wandering dragons.
She was transparent and clean, and even her hairband was pure white. There was only a thin red thread hanging around her neck, and it was tied to the life-threatening jade unicorn.
Little Xiao Shuo stood under the tree, watching Yun Lang reach out to pick up some streamer, jumped down from the tree with a smile, and held his hand in front of his eyes.
……
Xiao Shuo looked away from the car window, and saw that all these years he would only use this hand to tease him, but he didn't realize it, and now he was still talking about the young Lord Yun who regretted the fireflies.
He closed his eyes, pressed Yun Lang back to his side, and took a firm look at it with his arms.
For the seventh time in recent days, I pushed back the absurd idea of still wanting to tie someone to the couch for some reason, and then give him a solid spanking.
After returning to the mansion, Xiao Shuo retreated from the others, and briefly explained the situation in the palace to Yun Lang.
"It's as good as you expected."
Xiao Shuo closed the window, asked someone to bring ginseng tea, and stuffed Yun Lang on the warm couch: "The emperor heard that I knew something else, his face changed, and he almost couldn't pretend."
"He's most afraid of this, his face doesn't change." Yun Lang was wrapped twice by him, unable to laugh or cry, "I just went down to catch a bug, so I wouldn't be frozen like this..."
Xiao Shuo was unmoved: "Preparation is safe."
Imperial Physician Liang agreed to cure Yunlang, and has been running around looking for medicine these days, even if Yunlang does not return to the clinic, he has no time to stare at the discipline.
Even with the help of Mrs. Cai, finding those old friends of Xinglin back then, and completely curing the person, I'm afraid it's not as easy as it looks.
Xiao Shuo kept a strict eye on him, and never gave Yun Lang a chance to make troubles: "When you recover, jump into the Bian River and swim back and forth ten times, and I don't care about you."
Yun Lang couldn't figure it out: "What am I going to swim in Bianshui? There are no fireflies in the water."
"..." Xiao Shuo wrapped him up tightly, and tied him with a belt: "I followed what you said, I only said that someone used the truth of the year as bait to lure me to cooperate in the assassination, and he really tricked him."
Yun Lang was abducted by him, thought for a while, then nodded: "So...our emperor should already know who is plotting to kill him."
"Although the Department of Bodyguards hasn't found out yet, he must have the answer in his heart."
Yun Lang pondered: "So even if you are ambiguous, he will naturally complete the whole story for you in his heart."
Xiao Shuo nodded, blew on the ginseng tea, took a sip himself, and handed it to Yun Lang.
Yun Lang was indeed a little thirsty, he drank it all in one gulp, and handed back the empty cup: "You guessed right then, judging by his attitude, this assassination really doesn't look like it came from outside."
Xiao Shuo took it and added another half for him: "It's just that the envoy, he didn't explain it to me until the end."
"He wants to drive away tigers and wolves. He is afraid that you will be scared away when he hears it, so naturally he won't tell you in advance."
Yun Lang smiled: "When you have done a few things for him and the hostility has become established and there is no way out, I will tell you."
Xiao Shuo sneered, took the iron chisel, and slowly turned on the glowing charcoal fire under the red clay stove.
"The matter is over, don't worry about it for the time being." Yun Lang was so bound that it was difficult to move. After a while, he finally regained his freedom and moved to his side, "There is one thing... I am still not at ease."
Xiao Shuo raised his eyes: "What?"
"The winter solstice will be here soon." Yun Lang said, "If someone takes advantage of the chaos to assassinate the emperor again, what should we do?"
Xiao Shuo's eyes suddenly turned cold, dimmed for a moment, and turned his head.
"Isn't that why you went to see the palace defense today?"
Yun Lang pressed Xiao Shuo's arm: "Now it seems that our emperor has made up his mind to hide it. Not only will he not investigate this matter thoroughly, but he will also pretend to be powerless, so that the other party can get a little success."
"Self-destruct the Great Wall." Xiao Shuo was already mentally prepared, but he still couldn't suppress his disgust, "Today he actually told me...the surroundings are peaceful, and there is no city to take away."
Xiao Shuo's tone was extremely serious: "I'm obsessed with power and strategy, I don't think at all that if I show weakness at this time and make the capital appear weak, once it falls into the eyes of those Rongdi tribes on the border—"
"This matter..." Yun Lang pulled the corners of his mouth and fell silent for a moment, "You have to prepare sooner or later."
Xiao Shuo's eyes froze, and he stared at him firmly: "What do you mean?"
"I was a little worried about this back then."
Yun Lang said: "You also know that there has always been a saying in the DPRK...it is better to negotiate peace with the border tribal countries and give them old coins in exchange for the peace of the four borders instead of resorting to war."
"I know about this." Xiao Shuo said coldly, "In the past few years, the court has formulated regulations. It is said that it is a reward for all countries, giving money and tea silk... It is just a fig leaf barely covered."
Yun Lang nodded, held his hand, and pressed it lightly twice.
"Speak up if you have something to say." Xiao Shuo couldn't see him like this, and looked into Yun Lang's eyes, "What's missing, I haven't thought of it yet?"
"It's not unexpected."
Yun Lang smiled: "You are not very familiar with those tribes in northern Xinjiang. They are different from other places. All tribes are brave and good at fighting, and they are very ambitious."
Yun Lang lowered his gaze, and slowly said: "It's just money and goods, which can't feed them. They have been nomadic for generations, living by water and grass, and the weather outside the Great Wall is harsh..."
Xiao Shuo stared at Yun Lang firmly, sat quietly for a moment, then got up suddenly.
Yun Lang grabbed him, "Xiao Shuo!"
Xiao Shuo clenched his teeth, he looked at Yun Lang, and couldn't speak for a moment, as if being poured over his head by a basin of ice water, a bone-chilling chill emerged from the cracks in his bones.
"I told you first, because I was afraid that this matter would be brought up during the Winter Solstice. You didn't prepare in advance, and in a hurry—"
Yun Lang also didn't know what to say for a while, clutching his arm, cleared his throat: "The response... may not be appropriate."
"How decent." Xiao Shuo closed his eyes, "Tell them to hand over the city you fought so hard to the Rong and Di people as a bargaining chip?"
Yun Lang tensed his shoulders and turned his head sideways.
Xiao Shuo helped Yun Lang back to the couch, looked at him quietly for a while, and said in a low voice, "There is no need to talk about this matter."
"Xiao Shuo." Yun Lang said in a low voice, "Believe me, if I can hit him once, I can hit him a second time."
"When the court situation is stable, you help me keep an eye on the court, so that I don't have any worries."
Yun Lang looked at him: "I know better than anyone how to fight this battle, you believe me, Yan Yun will be ours sooner or later, you—"
"Yun Lang." Xiao Shuo lowered his eyes, "I entered the palace today, but you came out to look for me, why did you bring a dagger?"
Yun Lang didn't want him to pay attention to this, his heart beat slightly, his shoulders and back were stiff, and he couldn't speak.
"You came up with this idea and told me to seek victory in a dangerous situation. I am not afraid that the emperor will suspect you because of this, nor that the emperor will force you to die."
Xiao Shuo said: "But you are afraid that I will not respond properly, that the emperor will see our plan, and that I will be impulsive in the palace."
"So you took a dagger and waited at the place closest to me."
Xiao Shuo raised his gaze and landed on Yun Lang: "What you said at that time was not a joke. If something happened to me, you would indeed try to rob me to the death and run as far as you can."
"What are you talking about...?"
Yun Lang's fingers were a little stiff, and he moved slowly, tugging at the corner of his mouth: "It's really just to catch a firefly for you..."
Xiao Shuo saw that his mouth was stiff, and did not refute, and continued to say, "It's the same this time."
"I did say that when it came time to make a choice, I regret that you never chose me."
Xiao Shuo looked at him: "But I also told you at that time... This is an angry word, not to tell you to choose me against your will next time you encounter such a thing."
Yun Lang lowered his head and murmured: "But I don't—"
Xiao Shuo: "What?"
"No." Yunlang's ears felt hot, he tilted his head uncomfortably, and pursed the corners of his mouth, "Tell me."
"There's nothing more to say."
Xiao Shuo glanced at him: "I will never nod my head on this matter. If the emperor insists on cede land for peace, I will hit the pillar of the hall."
"..." Yun Lang's mood was a little complicated, and he held onto him tightly: "Stop talking to Yu Shi Zhongcheng all the time."
"Father is in charge of the Shuofang army and guarding Yanyun."
Xiao Shuo ignored it, and sat in front of the couch: "I would rather die than agree to cede the land, it won't make people feel strange."
"That being said." Yun Lang said in a low voice, "If you act against the emperor so openly, I will eventually..."
Xiao Shuo said calmly, "You are afraid that I will be like my father—"
"What nonsense!" Yun Lang suppressed his uneasiness and settled down, "There is a god standing three feet above your head, can you say something good?"
Xiao Shuo didn't continue, but after a moment of silence, he said again: "If you don't cut off the border town, from your point of view, how will the northern side react? Will Rongdi raise troops to attack?"
"I have tried my best to break them up. In a year or two, there may be a few small battles, but not major battles."
Yun Lang thought about it carefully: "After three years, it's unpredictable."
Xiao Shuo nodded: "That's enough."
"Even if the northern border can be defended, what about the emperor?"
Yun Lang was still worried: "If the emperor annoys you because of this, I'm afraid you will be in a much more uncomfortable situation in the court..."
"Since he wants to use me, he won't tear himself apart from me."
Xiao Shuo didn't take it seriously: "Benefits and powers are given together, punishments are just punishments, it won't really matter."
Yun Lang really couldn't think of anything else to persuade him, so he remained silent for a long while, then he was discouraged: "Oh."
Xiao Shuo raised his hand, and just touched Yun Lang's shoulder, Young Master Yun had already collapsed on the couch, furiously silent, and covered his head tightly with the quilt.
"Yunlang." Xiao Shuo looked at him tossing and said softly, "If you let the border town go, you won't be the one who suffers the most."
At one moment Yun Lang was worried that Xiao Shuo would be punished to kneel down, and at the other moment he was afraid that he would be punished by the emperor, so he ignored him distractedly and moved to the corner of the couch by himself.
Xiao Shuo opened a small mouth for him to breathe in: "You are so blocked and don't talk to me, the most uncomfortable thing is you."
Xiao Shuo: "No one bothers me, I am happy and quiet."
Yun Lang: "..."
Xiao Shuo took the book: "I will eat all the dim sum, so I don't need to keep it for you."
Yun Lang: "..."
Xiao Shuo turned a page of the book: "I went to Zuixianlou to watch silk and bamboo singing and dancing, and I didn't take you with me..."
"Xiao Shuo!" Yun Lang lifted the quilt and sat up, grinding his teeth, "Why did you go to Zuixian Tower again?!"
"I'm bored, and I can't get rid of it."
Xiao Shuo found a way to deal with him, removed the quilt, and straightened his clothes for Major General Yun: "Not only did I fail to defend you, but now I can't even defend the city you conquered."
Yun Lang sat on the couch, and he slowly straightened out his clothes. After a long while, he muttered in a low voice, "Don't... always care about these things."
"Isn't this... the city is here, so am I?"
Yun Lang didn't quite know how to explain people seriously, so he glanced at Xiao Shuo's expression, "Don't go to Zuixianlou, let me play the flute for you?"
"You can play the flute?"
Xiao Shuo looked at him: "At the beginning you played the flute for three days, but you couldn't make it sound. In the end, you became angry and split it to make a slingshot."
Yun Lang coughed, "Then play the piano, I will always..."
Xiao Shuo: "You have been learning the piano for half a month, and the empress sent people to search the palace for half a month. Who is playing the cotton?"
"..." Yun Lang jumped up at the desk: "This is no good, that's no good, what on earth are you looking for in Zuixianlou?!"
Xiao Shuo looked at Yun Lang's still red ears, and for some reason, his heart moved slightly.
In fact, he didn't really plan to go to any restaurant, and he was not interested in the so-called silk and bamboo singing and dancing at all.
There is nothing to be angry about this matter, whether Yun Lang agrees or disagrees, he will not hand over half an inch of the city that Yun Lang personally brought down.
Since there is no need to argue, let alone get angry about it.
But... General Yun Shao still owes him a reward.
General Yun Shao said in person that the snack box on the carriage was well made, so he was allowed to choose it himself.
Xiao Shuo sat quietly for a while, lowered his gaze, and said something in a low voice.
"..." Yun Lang almost suspected that he had heard it wrong: "You like this?!"
Xiao Shuo frowned and lightly clenched his fists.
He also knew that this idea was really absurd and rude, but once it popped up, he couldn't hold it any longer: "It's fine if it doesn't work."
"There's nothing wrong with it..." Yun Lang looked at him for a while, "Wait."
Xiao Shuo raised his eyes and opened his mouth in a hurry, Yun Lang had already jumped off the couch and walked out the door quickly.
The old master heard that the situation in the study was not right, and when he hurried over, Young Master Yun was sitting on the window lattice of the study.
The hem of the clothes was pinned up, the sleeves were rolled up, and the cattail fan was in one hand, skillfully fanning the roasted whole lamb.
Xiao Shuo was neatly dressed, sitting on the rockery, his face sinking like water.
"What did the lord say?"
The old master hid in a corner, looked at the strange situation in front of him, and panicked for a moment: "How did you get to this point?"
"The prince told the young master." Xuan Tiewei thought for a while, "I want to eat something made by the young master, so let the young master feed him."
The old master: "..."
The old master couldn't find any questions for a while: "So the little duke got a sheep?"
"At first, I wanted to shoot a wild boar." Xuan Tiewei said, "It's too time-consuming, and it's not easy to transport it back."
The old master had mixed feelings: "...Oh."
"The chef in Zuixianlou has prepared the dishes, will a maid serve them and feed them to the diners?"
Xuan Tiewei was a little curious: "The lord said he likes this, if the young master doesn't do it, he will go to Zuixian Tower."
"How is it possible?!" The old master thought it was extremely absurd, "My lord has never allowed others to get close, let alone such absurd acts... Even if the dishes are served by others, the lord never touches a chopstick!"
Xuan Tiewei snorted, a little disappointed, and went back to dutifully help Young Lord Yun flip the roast lamb.
The old master had a rough idea of what the prince was thinking, after thinking for a while, he vaguely guessed what was going on, and looked quietly.
Yun Lang roasted these things a lot in the frontier, commanding the Xuan Tiewei and his own soldiers to help together, constantly flipping the sheep to even out the firepower.He skillfully copied the dagger himself, stabbed the sheep a few times at intervals, and carefully smeared the seasoning honey.
Yunlang had a jade pendant on his waist, making it inconvenient to do things, and he was worried that the tassel would be a fire.Too busy to look after her, she simply asked for a cloth towel and wiped her hands carefully, took off the jade pendant, put it on a string, put it around her neck, and tucked it into her clothes along the collar.
The old master looked at the jade pendant, then at the prince sitting beside him, and sighed softly: "Go...get some grapes brought as a tribute from the Western Regions."
The old master looked at the young master who roasted the sheep with a golden knife in Malaysia, racked his brains, and tried his best to create an atmosphere: "Put the best-looking glass cups, put two pieces of ice, the ice should be clear, and the grape wine should only be the clearest." That floor."
"Also, find someone in the house who can play the piano."
The old master: "Play a nice, elegant and interesting piece. It should seem to be invisible, and you can hear it, but you can't hear it clearly when you listen carefully, as if it is playing in your head."
The old master specially instructed: "Hide it well, and don't let the young master see it."
Xuan Tiewei went in without knowing it, and arranged everything according to his words, and brought clear grape wine with ice, and handed it to the old master.
The old master was holding a sandalwood tray carved with dark patterns, holding the cold, sour and sweet grape wine, listening to the faint sound of the piano, holding his breath, and carefully passed by.
After walking two steps, he saw the young master lift up the hem of his clothes, tuck them around his waist, and sat down gracefully with a whole roasted lamb on his shoulders.
I cut a piece of the fattest and tender hind leg meat, blew it carefully, and rolled it a few times in the pre-made dipping sauce.
He took a dagger and tied it up, and slammed all of them into the mouths of their lords.
