The guards of crossing, please serve

Mouth: "If I had known this, I would not have issued a military order in front of the guards. It would be too embarrassing to give up now. What's more, they have to come to change shifts at night. If I hand them over to them during the day, it will seem that I, the prince, are too inconsiderate." .”

Shen Qing comforted: "It's already a big progress for us to touch this place, so don't be impatient now, it's impossible for them to be trapped in this valley for a lifetime."

Maybe it's because Shen Qing really has the ability to predict, or maybe it's because God can't bear to let the pampered little prince continue to suffer.Anyway, that evening, when the guards had already arrived to change shifts, two men suddenly appeared on the mountain road, passed by Ran Mingyuan and the others, and walked up slowly.

Seeing this situation, Shen Qing and Ran Mingyuan, who were almost paralyzed from exhaustion, their eyes lit up, and they suddenly gained strength.

They knew that no one had come out of the valley in the past three days, so these two people were most likely sent from the silver mine to connect with them. Of course, they might also be the group of people in Tianshui City.

However, according to reports from the secret guards sent to monitor those people in the city, the leaders of those people gave them a ten-day holiday two days ago.Thinking about it, they wouldn't be in such a good mood, they would come to this remote valley to find someone during their holidays.

Several people waited there for a while, and saw the two people walking down the mountain, the two guards followed quickly, and the two hidden guards who had been hiding in nowhere jumped out, one stayed behind and continued to monitor, The other drove the carriage and sent Ran Mingyuan and Shen Qing back to the inn after a day of exhaustion.

To be honest, the secret guard who had followed Ran Mingyuan for many years was quite surprised that their little prince could squat for three days in such a desolate place with no village or shop behind.It seems that guard Shen has a great influence on the prince. In the past, their little prince would not be happy to do anything as long as it was something he was not interested in, no matter how beneficial it was, let alone such a thing that required a lot of effort.Now, for the sake of Guard Shen, he is willing to endure the long-distance travel and such a hard investigation process, and he has begun to show compassion for his subordinates, which is really an amazing change.

Thinking of this, the dark guard's impression of Shen Qing became even better.In his opinion, it is all thanks to Shen Qing that the prince can grow so much.

Back at the inn, the two washed up briefly, and ordered Xiao Er to bring some appetizers over.Ran Mingyuan lay on the bed in "big characters", lazily said: "I'm exhausted, if no one comes again, the young master's life will be on the line there."

Shen Qing kneaded his shoulders and neck for him, and said: "If those two people really came from the silver mine, we just need to follow them and find out who is wrong in the silver mine, then we can go straight to Huanglong .”

"Well, have a good meal tomorrow." Ran Mingyuan nodded, and brought the topic to food again: "These days I eat all the dishes from the inn's kitchen, Qing, I think you made Furong chicken balls and squid eel It's blurry."

Shen Qing hastily agreed: "Okay, if I'm not busy tomorrow, I'll make it for you."

In the middle of the night, the two guards returned to the inn, and faced with a series of questions from Ran Mingyuan, they all shook their heads in unison.

"Those two people are very careful, and their martial arts are not weak. They seem to be in case someone is following them, and they deliberately choose a winding path. They walk fast and slow. We didn't check for a while, and we lost them." The two guards said. Kneeling in front of Ran Mingyuan with a very remorseful expression.

Although Ran Mingyuan was a little disappointed, he still comforted them: "It's okay, as long as they didn't find out, we'll think of another countermeasure."

Originally thought that Ran Mingyuan would blame the guards, Shen Qing even thought of a persuasion, and was very surprised by Ran Mingyuan's answer.After the guards returned to their room to rest, he quietly asked Ran Mingyuan: "Aren't you angry? I thought the clue that I worked so hard for was broken, and you would throw the plate!"

Ran Mingyuan pinched Shen Qing: "I'm so narrow-minded in your heart? After a few days of experience, I really feel that it's not easy to be a guard. They are already very guilty, so why should I make things difficult for them?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong, the prince is the most arrogant!" Shen Qing smiled and bowed to Ran Mingyuan: "Take a day off tomorrow, and I will cook a table of delicious dishes to reward you, okay?"

The next day, Shen Qing walked to the small kitchen after waking up, saw that the ingredients that Xiao Er had ordered to prepare the night before had been placed on the table, and immediately rolled up his sleeves to deal with them.

The killed rice field eel is scalded in boiling water to wash off the slippery layer of saliva on the surface, and then shredded.During this period, Ran Mingyuan ran in and looked at it for a while, and when he saw a person being divided into strips like this, he felt a little nauseous.In order not to affect his appetite later, he resolutely went back to the room and continued to sleep.

After processing the eel, Shen Qing beat the chicken breast into minced meat, added egg white, lard and a little fine salt, mixed well, and kneaded them into evenly sized balls.Put the chicken skeleton into the pot and add water to cook the soup.The removed chicken legs and wings were coated with a layer of marinade brought by Shen Qing.

The soup pot on the stove was tumbling, and Shen Qing started to wash the cabbage again.Tear the washed cabbage leaves into pieces, put two dried chilies and garlic cloves on top, and of course, the common peppercorns in Tianshui City.

Finally, roll out [-] thin dumpling wrappers, mix beef and chives with seasonings, and make a plate of bulging dumplings.

After all the preparations were done, Shen Qing heated up the frying pan, first popped an eel paste, then fried a shredded cabbage, then placed the dumplings, fried chicken legs and wings, and put the hibiscus chicken balls into the chicken soup to blanch cooked.

Three dishes and one soup, plus the staple food, dumplings, are just right for two people.During lunch, Ran Mingyuan's appetite was much better than the previous few days, and even Shen Qing himself moved his chopsticks much more diligently, and the two of them took less than half an hour to clean up a table of food up.

"It's such a nostalgic feeling to be able to eat such delicacies until you're full..." Ran Mingyuan swallowed the last dumpling, feeling genuinely moved.

At this moment, a guard ran in, cupped his hands and said to Ran Mingyuan: "My lord, finally someone came out of the valley, and even came to Tianshui City. Guess what they are here for, hahaha, this is really a Great opportunity!"

64

64. Fried rice catches people's hearts...

The guard laughed for a long time, and then slowly stopped under the double gaze of Ran Mingyuan and Shen Qing.

"Can you talk about business?" Ran Mingyuan brought him a cup of tea, the guard's throat was dry with laughter, and his voice became a little hoarse.

The guard shrunk his neck in embarrassment, he had no choice, his temperament was like this, when he encountered happy things, he would either hold back his smile, or he would have to laugh for a long time, even the martial steward said he was stupid, It wasn't because he was particularly good at kung fu that he wasn't allowed to accompany Ran Mingyuan and Shen Qing over here.

"Well, I saw those two people looking for Ren Yazi, and they said they wanted to buy five strong laborers. This is a good opportunity to break into them. So, please allow me to turn into a vagrant and go find that Ren Yazi." The guard said As he spoke, he knelt on one knee and begged for his life.

How dare you!Shen Qing just wanted to agree, but Ran Mingyuan's resounding "No" came from his ear.He turned his head to look at Ran Mingyuan, wondering what his opinion was on such a good proposal.

Ran Mingyuan touched his chin: "This matter sounds quite interesting. This king decided to take the lead and go out to find out the news himself."

Shen Qing and the guard looked at each other, almost saying in unison: "My lord, this matter is wrong!"

Ran Mingyuan looked at Shen Qing: "What's wrong? Haven't you been moved by this king's awe-inspiring uprightness of self-sacrifice?"

Shen Qing pulled up his arm and compared it with his own: "My lord, look at your thin arms and legs, which are half as thick as mine. Strong laborers have to do rough work. Don't say that your body can't bear it. would not choose you."

"But," Ran Mingyuan tried to use his internal energy, inserted a writing brush into the table upside down, and said proudly, "Look, I have internal energy."

"Your internal strength is intermittent, so don't worry." Shen Qing took a lot of effort to pull out the brush, and said: "And you are so good-looking, who knows what those people will come up with, I definitely don't promise."

"I can wear a human leather mask, and you can still protect me, don't tell me you want me to go alone..." Ran Mingyuan hugged Shen Qing's arm, shaking and shaking coquettishly.

Shen Qing looked resolute: "I still can't, I'm not good at martial arts, didn't you hear what the guards said, there are several masters there, what if you can't beat them, what should you do if you are bullied?"

"But it's really interesting, I've never been an undercover agent before, and I can get so much money, why don't you just let me go..."

Shen Qing couldn't resist Ran Mingyuan's repeated begging and offering kisses, so he had no choice but to agree, but there was an additional requirement: the guard who loved to laugh must go with them.

When Ren Yazi saw Shen Qing and the guard named Gao Yun, he was very satisfied and asked them to stay on the spot until someone came to pick them up in the afternoon.

But Ran Mingyuan was patted on the head: "Little brother, you should go back, come back in two years, your eldest brother can make money, you can't do this job."

Ran Mingyuan was not convinced, and just wanted to argue a few words, but Shen Qing grabbed his sleeve.Shen Qing walked up to him, and said to Ren Yazi: "Brother, my younger brother has no relatives besides the two of us, please forgive me, let us take him with us." A piece of broken silver was stuffed in the tooth of the man.This was calculated by him and Gao Yun in advance. This amount of money will neither be too shabby nor arouse people's suspicion.

Sure enough, Ren Yazi smiled a little, and said with a embarrassed expression: "That's all, I'll just
