The moonlight is like practice, and the cool breeze is blowing.

A scent of fragrance wafted from the inner hall, and the soldiers standing guard outside had obviously just had dinner, but they were easily aroused by this fragrance.

A total of six dishes and one soup were served from the kitchen.

Sitting at the table, Chu Shao glanced over. Compared with the rough-cooked big fish and meat yesterday, these dishes carved with dragons and phoenixes can be called a dazzling array.

"Taste this shrimp." Huai Zhen took a piece of shrimp with tea leaves and put it into Chu Qingxu's spoon.

Chu Shao didn't cover his mouth and run away this time, he picked up the spoon and put the shrimp into his mouth.

The top-quality Biluochun and shrimp are mixed together, which is sweet and refreshing.

Without Huai Zhen's persuasion, Chu Shao picked up the chopsticks and tasted all the other dishes on the table.

These dishes are meaty but not fishy, ​​oily but not greasy, they are almost sauces made with salt under Chu Shao's taste buds.

Before he knew it, a large piece of white rice in his bowl had collapsed.

Huai Zhen sat beside him, with one hand on the table, his index finger curled up against his temple, and he tilted his head to admire Chu Shao eating.

Chu Shao was lowering his head to drink the fish soup in the spoon. He lowered his eyes and blew on the milky white noodle soup, and drank it in two mouthfuls. It is said that the fish was processed so that there was no thorn in it. A piece of tender white fish was put into the mouth, chewed slowly, and the Adam's apple slid up and down between the slender and white neck.

Huaizhen raised his eyebrows with great interest, thinking that the cook who made this fish soup today should be rewarded heavily.

When Chu Qingxu raised his chopsticks and put them down, he kept the etiquette engraved in the bones of the children of the aristocratic family. This table of food should be the best meal he had in the past three years.

It's not an exaggeration to eat a feast, but he never lost his manners.

It's just that I was too intoxicated by eating, and completely left His Royal Highness Yu Wang aside, and only thought of Huai Zhen when I was half full.

"Jiu Gu, you eat too!"

Yao's black eyes were covered with a layer of unfeigned tenderness, Huai Zhen raised his hand to take off the rice grains that accidentally got on Chu Shao's mouth, and smiled lightly: "It's delicious."

"I'm not a woman." Chu Shao blinked and corrected seriously.

"Since you are not hungry, give me a bowl of rice, I can have another bowl."

He unceremoniously summoned the prince, and Wen Yan, who was serving at the side, could not see that Chu Shao was so "lawless", and was about to go forward to fill the rice for him, but Huai Zhen actually took the empty rice bowl in Chu Shao's hand, and personally replaced it for him Served a bowl of white rice.

Wen Yan couldn't help reminding: "Your Highness...this is not in accordance with etiquette."

"It's okay." Huai Zhen said half seriously, half jokingly, "It's only natural for the prince to serve the princess."

"It's just and right!" Chu Shao was so proud of being favored, and imitated his tone and joked.

Huai Zhen smiled comfortably, and it was really a pleasure for him to have dinner with Chu Shao.

What made him even more happy was that the meal that Chu Shao ate directly pointed him to a clear path.

Wang Zheng was left in the palace, responsible for Chu Shao's food, and was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold for the fish soup.

Although there is enough food and grass in the Zhongqin army, Wang Zheng needs to buy all the ingredients for Chu Shao's cooking.

Many dishes in Nanqi can only be cooked with ingredients that are native to Nanqi.

Wang Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong at first, as long as it could make Chu Shao eat better, he was willing to do this kind of errands. The merchants in the city knew that he was buying ingredients for Chu Shao, and they were very cooperative.

If someone buys, someone has to buy, and if you want to buy, there will be expenses. If you have costs to invest, you will think about how much you can earn. Once you come and go, the merchants in the city simply open their doors for business.

Those restaurants and restaurants that were not as famous as Fanxianglou but were also very famous were greedy for Wang Zheng's reward of one thousand taels of gold, and they all hoped that King Yu would find someone to recruit his own cook into the imperial dining room.

After all, a thousand taels of gold is not a small amount, enough to build another Fanxiang Building on the flat ground.

Everyone can lose money, but you can't get rich alone.

It's one thing to be rewarded, and being able to cook a meal for Chu Shao is also a little thought from this group of people.

In order to win such opportunities, these restaurants have also opened their doors one after another.

Huaizhen had a headache for half a month, and Chu Shao took it away with a meal.

"I have searched for that smear of lime a long time ago, but according to the prince's order, I kept silent."

Sitting in a restaurant in the city that is famous for its fine wine, Tu Wei said to Wu Mang, "Your Highness expected that the cook would not keep his job. He sprinkled lime into the soup. Wen Yan also knew it in his heart, so he deliberately said yes. For Chu Shao to eat, the cook immediately changed his face and redid it honestly. Lao Zhang and the others deliberately said that the fish was gone. All the businesses in the state, big and small, have been sold out, and these stores are obediently open for business after coming and going.”

Tu Wei drank all the fine wine in the cup, and the strong aroma of the wine caught his heart: "If the prince hadn't planned well, I wouldn't even be able to drink this fine wine! Xiaoer! Let's have another jug!"

"Hello, guest officer!" Someone answered immediately.

Wu Mang looked thoughtful: "At first, I couldn't figure out why the prince was so fascinated by a man. Apart from being good-looking, this Chu Shao is weak and weak, and he doesn't look too smart. , I didn’t expect him to be so popular, and it’s no wonder Wei Yong was worried that he would overwhelm the master.”

"Brother Wu, don't underestimate this man, the prince was made to cry by him back then!" After drinking some wine, Tu Wei dared to mention Huaizhen's embarrassing things in private.

In the battle around Yingu, Wu Mang was not with Huaizhen. He only vaguely heard about the defeat that year, but he didn't know the details. He only remembered that after King Yu returned to the camp that day, he ordered everyone not to mention it again. It can be seen that for him, this defeat is a great shame and humiliation.

The more you don't let it be mentioned, the more curious others will be.

"Tell me, what happened to that battle back then?"

"Speaking of the battle around Yingu three years ago, that little King Yu was beaten to the ground! Flowers! Flowing! Water!" The storyteller, who hadn't opened for a long time, set up a small table again in the Huxin Pavilion in the north of the city, and took a pat. With the gavel, the audience sitting in the pavilion fell silent immediately.

"That King Yu was young and energetic, and he boasted that he was invincible in all battles. He thought highly of himself, so he was easily lured into the valley by our general. The Raoyin Valley is a trumpet-shaped deep valley. The entrance to the valley is wide and can accommodate hundreds of people. Walking side by side, the entrance out of the valley is as narrow as the mouth of a flute, and only one person is allowed to pass through at a time."

"The general pretended to be defeated, and lured King Yu to go deep alone. When King Yu's three thousand soldiers and horses chased to the hinterland of the valley, the soldiers ambushing at the top of the valley mouth pushed the huge stones prepared earlier into the valley together, and there was a loud noise. Afterwards, the spacious entrance was completely sealed with stones."

"It was only then that King Xiaoyu realized that he had been fooled, and the general had already rode his horse and escaped from the exit, and a company of archers was ambushing at the exit. If anyone in Qin's army tried to get out of the valley, they would immediately get arrows in their eyebrows and die immediately. One man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it!"

The gavel was shot again, and the audience sitting in the pavilion applauded.

Their anger at Zhongqin's reluctance to speak out can only be vented through the storyteller's story.

No matter how majestic King Yu is now, he still can't erase the fact that he was beaten by Chu Shao back then.

This group of people got together to relive the embarrassing things of Huaijiu Gu back then, talking about it with great enjoyment, and they didn't notice at all that behind the willow tree not far from the Huxin Pavilion, King Xiaoyu himself didn't speak a word. Overheard.

Premonitioning that the future direction would be rendered very embarrassing by the storyteller, he took Chu Shao's hand and prepared to take him out of here.

Chu Shao, however, was fascinated by it, hugging the trunk and refusing to leave: "Listen! I want to know what's going on behind the scenes."

"..."

Because Si Yun wrote that Chu Shao used to love to come to Huxinting to listen to books, he authorized those storytellers to return to their old professions. Unexpectedly, the first story of this group of people returning to their old professions was to revisit themselves. failure!What a pack of white-eyed wolves! !

It's hard not to be angry! !

Chu Shao listened with gusto, but he didn't realize that the "General Nanxi" that Mr. Storyteller said was himself.

Before Huaizhen could pull him away, the storyteller started talking again.

"King Yu was trapped in Yingu for three days. At that time, it was nine cold days, and it snowed heavily on the first day. Although the three thousand Qin soldiers were all strong and well-equipped with clothes to keep out the cold, but the mouth of the valley was so blown. It's drafts!"

"The wind was bitterly cold. If anyone dared to stand in the wind, they would be blown to death overnight. The Xiao Yu Wang was quite calm, so he asked his subordinates to light a fire against the wind, and hugged each other in small groups to keep each other warm. That's why no one was frozen to death, but it's night! The cold wind blows not only ice and snow, but also the strange sound of howling ghosts and wolves!"

"It is said that Raoyin Valley used to be an ancient battlefield in the early years. Tens of millions of people were killed and buried here. If the bottom of the valley is dug deep, the bones may be dug up. Immersed in the slaughter, I am not afraid of one or two corpses."

"But the horror is that every night, there are many wailing sounds for no reason in the valley! The sound is extremely shrill, like the evil spirits in hell returning to the world at night, the ghost soldiers pass through the passage, the cold wind blows, and the ghosts scream sharply Ear-piercing, on the day of the waning moon, the sound will last for three days, which is why the sound valley is called the sound sound valley."

"Then King Yu has seen the world, and turned a deaf ear to these voices, so he survived the first night like this. At daybreak, our general stood on the deep valley and asked King Yu: 'Huai Jiugu, will you surrender or not? '

King Yu replied angrily: "I will never surrender!" '

The general smiled, and soon, he ordered people to pour cold water into the valley. There was no place to shelter from the wind and rain in the valley. There was ice on the clothes of this group!You can imagine how cold it was! "

Not far away, Huaizhen subconsciously rubbed his arms twice with both hands, as if he had really returned to the severe cold environment that day.

He was indeed almost frozen to death by Chu Shao that day.

"That night, a few soldiers who couldn't bear it wanted to surrender, but they were chopped off by King Yu himself. The next day, the general asked again from above: 'Surrender or not?'

King Yu yelled in his hoarse voice, which was caused by the wind and cold: "I will never fall down!" '

As soon as the general waved his hand, the smell of barbecue came from Taniguchi.This group of Qin soldiers had been hungry for two days and two nights. Although they still had dry food on their bodies, they were frozen like stones. Throwing out the steamed buns could kill a horse, and the archers outside the valley were trying to roast a whole sheep. The aroma of cumin roast meat floated into the valley with the wind, and Qin Bing's saliva would flow into a river and flood the Raoyin Valley! "

"Hahahahahaha!!"

Huxinting burst into cheerful laughter.

Huai Zhen's face was so gloomy that he wanted to wring out water.

"By the third day, the three thousand Qin soldiers were sick with cold, fainted from hunger, and lost consciousness due to the ghost screaming at night.

Only King Yu is still standing, but it is also at the end of his battle.

The general was kind and gave him another chance: "Last chance, Huai Jiugu, will you surrender or not?" '

Huaizhen punched the stone wall in the valley: "Dead...cough cough...death will not surrender." '

The general sneered: "Okay, you chose the dead end yourself." '"

"White smoke soon enveloped the sky above the Raoyin Valley. The general ordered people to set a fire at the entrance and exit of the Raoyin Valley, intending to burn all the three thousand Qin soldiers to death. The smoke filled the sky, and it was so smoky The person coughed continuously. At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the general saw the situation in the valley clearly, guess what he saw?"

These glorious achievements of Chu Shao and Nanqi people have long been familiar with them, so they naturally know what happened after that, but the protagonist not far away is curious: "What did he see? What did he see!?"

Huaizhen: "..." We must not let this person listen to me anymore!

He picked up Chu Shao by the waist and decided to take him away by force, but he heard the storyteller in the pavilion say loudly:

"He saw that His Royal Highness King Yu, who was invincible in all battles, was squatting on the ground wiping away his tears!"

"Hahahahaha!!"

"Nine-foot man, Huai Jiugu, the prestige second prince of Zhongqin, was beaten into Lin Daiyu by the general, crying like a three-year-old child!!"

"......"

Chu Shaoquan heard it, and it was too late for Huaizhen to stop him.

He moved his hand away from Chu Shao's waist.

Chu Shao blinked twice, and looked at King Yu sympathetically: "Jiu Gu, are you really beaten into tears by that person?!"

"No!!! I was smoked, and the tears came from the smoke!!!!"

"Really?" Chu Shao innocently questioned, "I don't believe it."

Huaizhen: "..." There is no way to argue.

"Then is the prince really crying?" Wu Mang grabbed Tu Wei and asked.

"How can it be! The prince was indeed blinded by the smoke, and he was cold and hungry, and his body was weak, so he squatted on the ground and wiped his tears. Chu Shaoxu was one year older than the prince. He looked at it from a distance, thinking that the little prince was real. Being bullied and crying."

Tu Wei said: "Chu Shao is also strange. He could have killed the prince that day. Seeing him crying, his heart softened for a moment. He asked people to put out the fire, withdraw the soldiers, and show mercy. Only then did the prince save his life Life."

Wu Mang said in surprise: "Isn't the prince desperate to break out of the encirclement?"

"Brother Wu, you have never seen the Raoyin Valley. Once people enter the hinterland, they will be blocked from front to back, and it will be a dead end. It is impossible to break out from the encirclement unless the gods descend from the sky." Tu Wei lowered his voice , whispered: "The idea of ​​fighting to the death to break out of the siege is because our prince wants to save face and use nonsense to block Youyou's mouth."

Wu Mang: "..."

Tu Wei couldn't help sighing and said: "I don't want to think that three years have passed, Feng Shui has changed, and Chu Shao, who can make the prince cry, is now being fooled by the prince. It's a good fortune."
