Wolf boy

The imperial palace, which was originally resplendent and resplendent, is old and cold no matter how it is repaired due to the passage of time.It stands here silently, witnessing the change of dynasties of different surnames and the rotation of power soaked in blood.

In the depths of the golden hall, under layers of guards, there are only two people in the hall, one is sitting on a pure gold dragon chair, old and tired, the sun is setting, and death is imminent.

The other, bowing his head slightly and half kneeling on the ground, he is in his prime, with a broad body and a handsome face.

"Helian Zongshuo pays homage to His Majesty."

The old emperor forced himself to swallow the muffled cough that welled up in his throat, and his cloudy eyes fixed on Zong Shuo's body in his prime, and the pair of eyebrows and eyes that resembled the former prince.

He was speechless for a long time, and finally he seemed to be relieved because of something, instead he waved his hand and asked for a seat.

"Haven't seen you for many years, don't be too polite, just sit down."

Without saying a word, Zong Shuo stood up and sat down on the chair.

One old and one young, separated by the cold palace stone, separated by years of enmity, only connected with thin and insignificant blood, sitting at the upper and lower ends of a room, looking at each other from a distance.

half a month ago.

The case of Huangma was settled, and the crowd returned to Zhaocheng.

Some of the Kelie people were injured, and they were sent to the military doctor's tent in Zhaocheng to be treated with medicine. However, before the good golden sore medicine took effect, the big men would get up and leave without caring. It's quite a distance, but the language is different, so I can only give up.

But when they checked the wounded again at night, they found that the wounds of the Kret people recovered quickly. They saw serious bone injuries. After resting for a night, there was no festering and swelling at all.

The military doctor was curious and wanted to observe nearby, but was rejected by the Kelie people, and together with the wounded and the team, withdrew from Zhaocheng and returned to the camp set up by the clan in the nearby grassland.

After Zong Shuo's army was reorganized, neither Kelie's team nor Zhaocheng's generals needed to escort the caravan deep into the grassland.The duty of guarding the caravan was taken over by the barbarian female leader Na Ren, which could not only prevent the Central Plains army from going too deep into the grassland, but also restore the trust and respect that Naiman had lost among the grassland tribes over the years.

More importantly, the Kelei clan, who have been guarding the caravan, have no desire to be active in the center of power for a long time. Seeing that the grassland is peaceful and stable, the newly appointed female doll of the barbarian tribe is also good. In the middle, I want to go home.

After all, Keteqin still has many pregnant or elderly clansmen waiting for their relatives to go back.

Right now, Zong Shuo is left to solve the internal affairs of the Central Plains himself. They are not from the grasslands, and they are not good at conspiracies, so they really can't help them in this regard.

Patriarch Kelie came to bid farewell, Zong Shuo nodded, but when the patriarch turned to leave, Zong Shuo stopped him again, "Please slow down, I have one more request..."

Kelie retreated back home, and all the people in the same day bid farewell to Ah Tong solemnly, and invited Ah Tong to come to Keteqin Xiaoxu in his spare time. They, Kelie, will always be the most loyal guard of the wolf god.It was a good idea for Ah Tong to see him off at the city gate, and he also bought several boxes of trinkets and miscellaneous items, and asked Ke Lie to carry them back.

Seeing that the crisis at the border has been resolved, Ah Tong bid farewell to the scholar at the gate of Zhaocheng the next day.

"Little bird, take the exam! You are definitely the material for the top pick." Ah Tong patted the scholar on the shoulder with a look of pride on his face. Although he didn't know why he had to be an official at Jinbang High School, he could tell from everyone's words and deeds. Look, it's definitely a good thing!

"Thank you, benefactor, Jiyan. I don't know when we will meet again, take care." I wanted to say a few more words, because the young man in front of me was really out of character. He had a complicated background, but he didn't know how to hide it.But after thinking about it, there is a general protecting him, so he doesn't need to say anything more.

Then, the scholar looked at Ayun who silently handed him the burden. Ayun put a lot of silver in the burden in case the scholar went to Beijing to catch the exam.

"There is also a writing brush that Ah Tong gave you inside. I don't know what kind of hair it is made of, but the color is very good." As A Yun was talking, the boy smiled and wanted to shake his tail that was not showing.

The scholar's eyes were a little red, he bent down deeply, bowed for a long time, and then wiped his face.

"A man's ambition is for all people in the world, and he wishes to benefit the people. I bid farewell!"

Looking at the back of the scholar walking away, Ah Tong heard the people around him sigh, so he turned his head and patted Ah Yun on the shoulder, "He went to ask for what he wanted, that's very good, don't sigh, when the fate comes, it will be natural." See."

Ayun looked at the clear eyes of the young man in front of him, and felt in his heart that sometimes he was like a child, and sometimes he was extremely thorough, a rare child in this world.

As for Liu Hongfei, a scholar who came to Beijing to rush for the exam, he hurried to the next small town, sat in a simple inn, opened the package to get dry food, and saw a large package of silver notes and silver ingots in the package, which was worth a thousand taels!I was surprised for a while and felt sorry for my friend, but my heart was warm.

There was also a very ordinary wooden box in the bundle. When I opened it, it was indeed the pen that Brother Yun said was a gift from Ah Tong.The body of this brush is not made of wood, the scholar rubbed it up and down, like the horns of some animal, extremely delicate.

Open the iron pen cover again, and only a strand of extremely white and stiff pen tip hair came out, and against the bright moonlight outside the window, it glowed with moist silver light...

At this moment, Ah Tong, who was "plucking his hair and giving him a pen", was quite at ease in Zong Shuo's small kitchen, learning how to cook with the cook.Ever since he came back in the grassland, he felt more and more that the chef's cooking is delicious, and there are many kinds of tricks, never repeating the same!

So Ah Tong squatted in the flower bed and watched secretly at first, until the chef fried chili sauce, which smoked the young man who was silently hidden in the flowers and plants, sneezing and coughing.

"Which one is it!" The cook's accent was a bit like that of a Southwest frontier dweller. It was fine at ordinary times, but it became obvious when he was in a hurry.

"Cough cough cough, ah chirp, ah chirp! I, ah chirp! Uncle, I am Ah Tong, ah chirp!"

The chef yelled, quickly turned off the stir-fried chili oil, and came out to take Ah Tong out, "Little boy, this is choking, what are you doing? Go out and dry!"

"Ahem, I want to learn how to cook, go back and give me Anaata to eat." And I will have to use it to raise a daughter-in-law in the future!You can't take the chef with you everywhere.

After Ah Tong finished speaking, he smiled and flattered the cook, "As expected of the chef of Taihe Building, the chili is fried very hot!"

The chef wiped the oil from his hands on the apron, and when he heard the boy's flattery, he waved his hand cheerfully, "Come on!"

However, in just a few days, the chef on the first floor of the world couldn't bear it anymore. He had been in the arts for most of his life, and he had never seen such a person.

In the past, when Ah Tong first came back to the back kitchen, he smashed the back kitchen to pieces because he caught a thief. Now, because he wants to learn some cooking skills, he smashed three iron pots and five copper spoons!

That's all, he is a famous chef, even if he has been in the army for many years, he still has some pots and pans.

The most frustrating thing for the cook is that he watched Ah Tong cook according to his own recipe, but what came out of the pot in the end was always a black thing.

Ah Tong lifted the lid of the pot of braised pork, and faced an indistinguishable hot air, which made him turn his face away, and then turned to the dark-faced "Taihelou Chef" beside him.

"..."

"Very, very good." Ah Tong said with a guilty conscience, and the chef was unambiguous. He closed his eyes and scooped up the pot of black matter, filled it out of his last fine iron pot, and then pondered , Ask Ah Tong to bring this pot "very good" to the general to try something new.

So, in the handsome tent, Zong Shuo, who was writing a letter, stopped writing, looked at the shy young man in front of him, and the plate on the table, er, a plate of things that Zong Shuo didn't know how to describe.

"Hey, charcoal-roasted potatoes are good." Zong Shuo knew that Ah Tong was learning cooking skills, so he boasted against his conscience.

Ah Tong gritted his teeth, "Braised pork! What charcoal roasted potatoes, this is braised pork!"

When Zong Shuo moved his Adam's apple, he saw Ah Tong push the plate forward with his eyes wide open, with a guilty conscience in his heart.

"That, try it!"

When Zong Shuo saw Ah Tong like this, he had to swallow even the poison in front of him!So he happily took a bite, didn't chew, and swallowed it directly.

Ah Tong watched Zong Shuo eat it, so he waited expectantly for Zong Shuo to speak. Zong Shuo swallowed hard, then nodded, "That's right, it's delicious!"

Ah Tong swept away the previous depression, and his frown spread out, "That's right! I'll try it too."

Zong Shuo hurriedly pressed Ah Tong's hand that was reaching for the plate, "Wait a minute!"

"What are you doing?"

"How can we enjoy delicious food alone, you and I can't forget our brothers for many years."

Ah Tong thought about it too, friends, if you have good things, you should take them with you.So he first went to Ayun, and Heifeng's big dogs, the big monkey on the tree by the water, and some squirrels holding hands.

But when he came back, he saw that the plate was empty, but Xing Wu and others were sitting around the table with disheveled faces.

"It's not enough to eat, I'll do it again!"

Everyone looked at the young man who rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Some said they couldn't bother the general's wife, some said they were not hungry, and some couldn't speak because of their throats.

Zong Shuo hurriedly waved to Ah Tong, "Come, come and sit here."

As soon as everyone saw Ah Tong returning to the throne, they all made excuses to resign from the military tent. Even A Yun was taken away by Xiao Ran winkingly. Only Ah Tong, Zong Shuo and a few small dogs were left in the room. Animals, they sat obediently at the table and waited.

Ah Tong also sighed, "Everyone is really busy."

Zong Shuo nodded, and looked at the dog army surrounded by Heifeng and other obedient animals, and he sighed, feeling a little unbearable.

"You haven't tasted my craft yet, have you?"

Ah Tong was pleasantly surprised, "Oh? You can cook!"

Zong Shuo nodded with a smile, and said with nostalgia, "When I was in Yunzhong Temple, I couldn't eat vegetarian food in the dining room of the temple, so the master built a stove with me to supply myself."

Ah Tong only thought that Zong Shuo didn't like vegetarianism, but he couldn't think that it was Zong Shuo who would prevent others from poisoning the dining room and implicate the monks in the entire Buddhist temple.

After the general finished speaking, he put down what he was doing, and went to the small kitchen wearing only casual clothes.

So, before noon, Ah Tong and a group of small animals sat around the desk and ate with relish. The dishes were not very complicated, but they were also delicious.

Ah Tong just thought that Zong Shuo could do everything!It was really amazing, so he chewed his rice and boasted in admiration.

Zong Shuo wiped the rice grains from the corner of Ah Tong's mouth, ate it by himself, and laughed at the young man's muttering.

"Not as good as you."

In the end, after eating and drinking enough, Hei Feng even packed some food and took some away, and went back to the forest to feed the cubs at home.

At this moment, someone outside the account hurriedly came to report back.

"Your Majesty, there is a team of fine armored men and horses outside the city gate, carrying the emperor's decree, saying..."

"say what."

"It is said that His Majesty summoned King Helian Zongshuo of Pingcheng to come to Beijing!"
