Chapter 35 Commonplace meals

In the afternoon, the rain gradually decreased.

Ye Jingtang walked out of the dungeon, his hand still on the handle of the knife, trying to figure out the essence of the "Tianhe Sword" method.

I just had an exchange with Qiu Tianhe in the dungeon, and I finally learned the "Tianhe Sword".

However, "Tianhe Sword" is a rare internal skill in swordsmanship. It is completely different from his adoptive father's swordsmanship. Now he can only say that he has learned how to use it, but he does not understand the connotation of the swordsmanship at all. He cannot be called proficient. Now It is too early and too outrageous to teach Prince Jing, so it takes two days to get familiar with it.

After a second thought, he walked out of the entrance of the dungeon. Ye Jingtang looked back at Mingyu Tower. He wanted to take a quick glance and leave, but he didn't expect to faintly hear the words of a mature woman in the light rain:

"What are you thinking about? Giving something like this..."

"You are the only one who is lonely, you are really..."

"No, no, no, I'm so embarrassed~..."

The voice was shy and unbearable, with a hint of disgust in it, but it was delicate, soft and waxy, and very pleasant to the ears.

Just by hearing her voice, one can imagine a beautiful lady biting her lower lip shyly and refusing in annoyance.

Ye Jingtang was slightly confused and wanted to hear who he was talking to and what he was talking about.

As soon as I pricked up my ears, I heard a whisper like an ancient god:

"Sir, please?"

The sound came suddenly, startling Ye Jingtang, who thought he was already good at martial arts.

Looking around, he realized that there was an old woman with long hair reaching the floor standing three steps away from her. Her waist was stooped, her left hand was behind her back, and her right hand was spread out to indicate the outside of the black yamen.

Although this is the first time Ye Jingtang has seen this white-haired old woman, she can guess from her appearance that she is most likely one of the two red sticks of the Black Yamen - the white-haired Listening Meng Jiao.

Eight-armed Ksitigarbha and White-haired Tingting are both top masters and coaches of the 'national team'. Although they look inconspicuous, one can imagine how important they are in the world.

Ye Jingtang was really embarrassed to be caught eavesdropping on the conversation of the royal family members. After bowing his hands, he walked quickly to the black office. After walking a few steps, he looked back - the exit of the dungeon was empty, as if it was just an illusion.

What a light gong...

Like a ghost...

With lingering fear in his heart, Ye Jingtang quickly left the black office and turned back on horseback. Along the way, he was also thinking about the identity of the lady who spoke just now.

Someone who can stand on top of Mingyu Tower and chat without any worries must have a very noble status, but it doesn't look like she is an empress.

While wandering around the capital these days, he also privately inquired about the situation in the DPRK and China.

The current empress was the sister of Prince Jing. There was not much age difference between the two. No one dared to mention her appearance. She only knew that she was decisive and tough.

Prince Jing has a supermodel figure and peerless appearance, and the empress is not bad at all. Such a empress should not be so shy when speaking.

And others...

Not many people in Ye Jingtang knew about it, and I really couldn’t figure out who it was. I just assumed it was a relative of Prince Jing.

He wanted to go to the palace to look for the "Singing Dragon Picture". Speaking of which, he had also heard rumors about the "Mian Shou" in the past few days.

Judging from inquiries in the past few days, the two empress sisters are very clean and self-sufficient, and there are no rumors of face-to-face appearances...

By the way, the same is true for the widowed Empress Dowager Qin...

However, it is a bit shameful no matter how you think about it, by betraying your appearance and deceiving a woman's feelings into the palace to get things.

The only way left is to practice Qinggong hard and sneak into the palace.

The possibility of succeeding with this method is very high, but the risk is undoubtedly extremely high. King Guangjing is surrounded by ghost-like ruthless people like "White-haired Listener". He doesn't even dare to think about what the empress has around him. If he is discovered, he will probably not even Every bird has to be made into squab soup...

Walking along the street through the busy city, I returned to the alley entrance of Dyefang Street before I knew it.

Although there was no sound, I could smell the aroma of fried pork in the distance.

Night Terror Hall hadn't eaten well from yesterday to today, and her appetite aroused when she smelled the fragrance. She quickly came outside the courtyard and looked from the wall - there were benches under the eaves, and the little heroine was sitting outside the kitchen, chopping firewood with a hatchet. The method is good, but the work is not very skillful, and the length of the chop is different.

Smoke was rising from the kitchen and the windows were open. Luo Nuxia put on an apron and walked back and forth between the chopping board and the stove. Rice was warming on the small stove.

Birds are also very diligent. They stand on the stove, open their beaks, and wait for help to taste.

Ye Jingtang opened the courtyard door and raised the two small wine jars in his hands:

"Is the meal ready? I just happened to buy two bottles of wine on the way, Yangchun Shao on Wutong Street. I drank it at Jinpinglou last time. The wine was very fragrant..."

Luo Ning had heard the footsteps a long time ago and raised her eyes to glance at Ye Jingtang. She was not calm yet after being bullied last night and did not speak.

Zhe Yunli was much more enthusiastic. He flicked his wrist and threw the hatchet out. He nailed it firmly to a piece of firewood. He stood up and ran over to catch the wine jar:

"Cousin Jing, how is Hei Ya's tone?"

"It went very well. I went to learn the sword skills from Qiu Daxia, and Qiu Daxia agreed. After I learn it in a few days and teach it to Prince Jing, I should be able to fish the person out."

"Prince Jing won't learn sword skills and turn his back on him, right?"

"Prince Jing is interested in my ability. How can he win over people by turning his back and refusing to admit his guilt? Moreover, it is not about letting the tiger return to the mountain. Letting Qiu Daxia retire in the capital is equivalent to moving the prison to another place. There is no need to bluff me."

During the chat at Night Terror Hall, he came to the kitchen, looked around for a while, and found that there was no wine glass, so he said:

"Yunli, help me buy a set of drinking utensils from the grocery store on the street, thank you."

"okay."

Zhe Yunli immediately picked up the umbrella and wanted to go out.

Luo Ning didn't pay attention at first, but after cooking for a few times, she noticed something was wrong - how could she forget to buy wine utensils when she could buy wine?

!

Luo Ning's iceberg-like cheeks froze slightly, and she quickly looked back:

"Yunli..."

Zhe Yunli's legs and feet were quite nimble, and there was nowhere to be seen in the yard.

At the same time, Ye Jingtang had already walked up to him and rubbed the big bird:

"Nvxia Luo is so good at her craftsmanship."

"..."

Luo Ning looked to the side and moved a step away from looking at the Night Terror Hall:

"Night Terror Hall! If you dare to push further, don't blame me for being unkind."

Ye Jingtang discovered in the morning that Luo Ning was indeed a little unhappy. He knew that he was a little impulsive yesterday and felt quite ashamed.

He took out a green jade pendant from his sleeve, placed it on the chopping board, came to the stove and fiddled with the fire:

"Don't think blindly. Heiya gave me the 'Longtan Tourmaline' and the jade pendant together. If I gave it to you in front of Yunli, it would be easy for her to misunderstand."

Luo Ning glanced at the 'Longtan Tourmaline': "You knew you would be misunderstood, and you gave me a jade pendant? What do you mean?"

"How can you say give it away? We worked together to catch the thief last night, and I can't keep the loot for myself. Maybe Luo Nuxia wants to give me everything. This will make me think wildly."

Luo Ning thought about it, it really made sense, and put the jade pendant into her arms:

"I deserve this, you didn't give it to me. When I leave the capital, I will take it to Shuiyun Sword Pond in exchange for a reward of silver."

No matter how you hear this, it sounds like he is deliberately making people angry at night.

Ye Jingtang shook his head and smiled: "You can naturally handle your things as you wish."

Bah la la...

The water mist in the pot rose, blocking their sight, and their words stopped.

Luo Ning stir-fried the vegetables skillfully, but she was obviously a little absent-minded. From the corner of her eye, she noticed Ye Jingtang who was fiddling with the stove fire and basically putting the seasonings in random places.

After a moment of silence, Luo Ning couldn't help but speak again:

"Go out and don't stay here."

"Nvxia Luo doesn't want to see me so much?"

Luo Ning put down the spatula and stared at Ye Jingtang with cold eyes, as if she was ready to give up her life.

Ye Jingtang shook his head and got up and went outside, chopping the firewood that Yunli had not finished chopping.

Luo Ning then relaxed and continued cooking. She picked up a small piece of fried meat, blew on it, and fed it into the mouth of the bird that was waiting for food.

Niaoniao caught it with bright eyes, and then...

"Gu...?!"

The bird twitched twice, closed its beak in a rare move, and nodded as if it was praising Sister Xiao Xigua for her good craftsmanship.

Then the bird jumped out and went to the Night Terror Hall to look at the firewood carefully...

As the aroma of rice filled the courtyard, the rain also stopped.

"It's time to eat~"

Zhe Yunli carried the dishes and walked through the neat courtyard to the main house. He found the birds squatting in the aviary under the eaves and said doubtfully:

"Why aren't you anxious today?"

"Jiji~"

The bird waved its wings grandly, indicating that the bird was full.

Ye Jingtang sat on the table, opened the wine jar, and poured wine for the two women, one older and one younger.

Luo Ning sat down at the main table and helped to serve the food. She still didn't look at the Night Terror Hall, but Yun Li was in front of her, and her behavior was much more natural.

When all the dishes were served, Ye Jingtang picked up the wine glass:

"Here, let's drink and wish Qiu Daxia a speedy escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

Zhe Yunli was very polite and quickly picked up the wine glass with both hands:

"Master Qiu's life is safe. My wife and I both owe a favor to cousin Jing. My wife and I will toast you first."

Luo Ning was in the mood to propose a toast to Ye Jingtang, but Yun Li had already said her words, and she couldn't refuse. After thinking about it, she put down her chopsticks, raised her glass with both hands, and touched it with Ye Jingtang.

Ding~

Luo Ning covered her lips with her sleeves and drank the whole drink in one gulp. Her fair cheeks suddenly turned pink. She looked like she didn't drink often, and her beautiful eyes, which were naturally blurry, also showed mist.

Zhe Yunli had a good drinking capacity, and even after taking a big sip, his face didn't turn red. He even came close to the teacher's wife, gently stroked her back to help her calm down, and said with a smile:

"This is the first time I have seen my wife drinking. Cousin Jing, you are so lucky. If people in the world know..."

"Yunli!"

Luo Ning knew that Zhe Yunli wanted to say, 'The Goddess of Toad Palace proposes a toast to you,' so her eyes darkened and she interrupted Zhe Yunli's words.

Zhe Yunli said angrily: "I'm not stupid, I'm just talking casually. Isn't it spicy?"

Luo Ning put down her wine glass and responded calmly:

"generally."

Ye Jingtang didn't answer. He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried pork with good color and aroma, and chewed it a little...

Oh my god!

No wonder the little stupid bird is standing outside...

Ye Jingtang can be considered a pure man. He chewed the delicious stir-fried pork without changing his expression. He took another sip of wine to suppress the pressure. At the same time, he glanced at Luo Nuxia to see if she was deliberately torturing him.

It doesn't look like much...

That is absent-mindedness leading to abnormal performance...

Zhe Yunli smiled and poured a glass of wine, then took a piece of fried pork and put it into his mouth.

Then my face immediately turned green!

But the mistress vomited on the spot after finally cooking the dish, which made the mistress very sad.

Zhe Yunli gritted his teeth and swallowed, looking at Ye Jingtang with wide eyes, and asked again - how did you eat it? !

Ye Jingtang gave Zhe Yunli another large chopstick and said with concern:

"I'm growing, eat more."

You guy! ! !

Zheyunli clenched his teeth, but his expression remained unchanged, and he held a large chopstick for Ye Jingtang:

"Brother Jingtang is a man, and he has to go out to do errands, so you should eat more. How is your master's craft?"

"so gorgeous."

Night Terror Hall's expression remained unchanged, and he gritted his teeth and swallowed everything.

The family of three just ate home-cooked meals, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

Luo Ning's food is relatively delicate. She has a light taste and doesn't like oily food. She only eats stir-fried side dishes.

She felt quite unhappy when she saw Ye Jingtang and Zhe Yunli acting like "brothers, friends and sisters".

But the two of them picked up each other's food and stopped talking while eating, just drinking. Luo Ning finally realized something was wrong.

Luo Ning picked up her chopsticks and tasted the stir-fried pork. Her face suddenly changed color. She thought someone had poisoned the dish, and then she said angrily:

"It's so salty... you won't say it tastes bad? You still insist on eating it!"

Ye Jingtang laughed twice and raised his hand to signal:

"Mosmos...ahem..."

"I'm curious..."

Zhe Yunli finally couldn't hold it in any longer, so he stood up, went to get the teapot, and poured it into his mouth:

"Tons, tons, tons..."

? !

Luo Ning glared at the two lunatics. She looked like she wanted to laugh, but she held it back. She patted the table, stood up and went out. She picked up Niaoniao who was looking outside the door to watch the show and gave her a scolding:

"what's wrong with you?"

"grumble……"
