"What, do we want to give him a gift in return?" Ryazan said unhappily: "Why do you want to give him a gift in return?" ”

Chen Ying laughed dumbly when he heard this. "It's rude to come and not to communicate." It means that others are friendly to you, and if you don't reciprocate, it's not polite. The meaning of courtesy is also to say that in etiquette, pay attention to the coming and going. The meaning of the ancient and later generations has changed very differently.

Chen Ying patiently explained: "Su Hu Lao Er treats me like this, if I don't make a little move, I'll be so sorry for him!" When Ryazan heard this, he said indignantly: "I should think of a trick to deal with him." ”

Chen Ying finally understood. There are some things that you can't just dodge if you want to. Li Xiaoguang obviously has no grudge against himself, but because he took a fancy to the green beads and the two daughters with red sleeves in his house, he thought of a way to kill himself.

More than 300 years ago, there was also a beautiful girl Green Bead, and also because there was a powerful person who fell in love with this beautiful Green Bead, his owner told Green Bead, I was convicted because of you. When Luzhu heard this, in order not to affect his master, he jumped down the building and died.

Originally, Chen Ying just thought it was a poignant love legend, but he didn't expect that the same story would be staged on him. Pifu is innocent and guilty, and he is bound to die, which is definitely not Chen Ying's character. Not to mention Su Hu, even if Li Yuan wanted to die by himself, he would fight back.

"Make yourself strong fast!"

There was only one thought left in Chen Ying's head. Strong enough that it needs to be looked up to, so that you don't have to worry about cold arrows and intrigue in the shadows. Thinking of this, Chen Ying decided to take precautions and lay out in advance.

In this era, every family gate valve has a large number of highly skilled and well-equipped dead soldiers, even if one day even if the family is ruined by bad luck, you can also pull the enemy to be buried together.

However, on second thought, to train the dead, it would require loyal men, and it would take too much time and money, and I would have neither the time nor the money to do so. Don't look at Chen Yingqian's treasury with 3,000 yuan, this sounds like a lot, and it looks like a lot, but in fact, it really hasn't been spent.

Cultivating dead soldiers cannot be accomplished overnight, it requires chance and coincidence. Experiencing this incident also made Chen Ying feel like a blind man and a deaf person in Chang'an City, he didn't know what direction the wind was blowing, and he didn't know the major forces in Chang'an City, which made Chen Ying very uncomfortable.

"No, you have to build your own messaging channel!" Thinking of this, Chen Ying paced back and forth in the front hall with his hands behind his back, and for a long time, a trace of realization finally flashed in his head.

Since he doesn't have time to train the dead, and he doesn't have the energy to do it, why don't he learn from Song Jiang of the Great Song Dynasty? In fact, Song Jiang is not the top in literature and martial arts among the one hundred and eight heroes in Liangshan, but he is the big boss in Liangshan. It is because Song Jiang has the status and reputation of other heroes who do not have.

Song Jiang's nickname is Timely Rain, which is to help others when they need help. Accumulated a strong network base. He can really learn from Song Jiang, Chen Ying said to Ryazan: "You go to Xu Ji Inn, please ask the shopkeeper to come here!" ”

"Now?" Ryazan said: "But the door is already closed? Chang'an is now under curfew, as long as he dares to appear in the market after the curfew, Wuhou will be killed. ”

"Then forget it, I'll go to Xu Ji Inn tomorrow morning!" Chen Ying nodded and said, "It's not too early, let's go back and rest!" ”

……

In the bedroom of Princess Pingyang's Mansion, more than a dozen butter candles as thick as a child's arm are burning, making a thunderclapping sound. , illuminating the whole bedroom as if it were daylight.

Li Xiuning looked at the flickering candle flame, and her heart was numb.

Recalling Li Jiancheng's anger when he was in the Chen Mansion, Li Xiuning only felt an inexplicable chill. At the beginning, Li Yuan was ready to raise an army against the Sui, but for the entire Li family, it was almost an open secret, and she was the only one who was hidden. Even as an abandoned child, he was sent to Chang'an to complete the marriage to paralyze the Sui Dynasty court. Even Chai Shao, the son-in-law, learned the news of Li Yuan's army ahead of her. However, the first time he was abandoned, Li Xiuning can be said to have no regrets, he did not hesitate to risk his life, fought on the battlefield, and was only a line away from death several times, and finally occupied most of the Guanzhong and captured Chang'an City, otherwise I am afraid that Li Tang would not be able to advance into the Guanzhong.

However, after Li Yuan entered Guanzhong and became the emperor, the first thing he did was not to reward her, the number one hero of the Tang Dynasty, but to divide the seventy or eighty thousand women's army under her command cleanly.

Li Xiuning has no ambition to be the king and hegemon, and she doesn't say anything either.

But this time, she was really sad. She doesn't have much contact with Chen Ying, and if she wants to talk about love, she really can't talk about it. It's just that Chen Ying's near-perfect face makes her feel inexplicably close. At this time, he liked Chen Ying a little bit at most, but Li Jiancheng roared like thunder.

Li Xiuning can also be regarded as Li Jiancheng who grew up, while Li Jiancheng is familiar with Li Xiuning, she is also familiar with Jie Jiancheng, there is a way that the country is easy to change, and a person's character is the least likely to change. Li Jiancheng may not do anything drastic to himself, but he will definitely not let Chen Ying go.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuning felt inexplicably sad.

At this time, Cui'er looked at Li Xiuning with an uneasy expression and said, "Princess, don't scare the slave maid, it's the middle of the night, you don't eat or drink, what do you want to do!" ”

Li Xiuning turned around and said: "Who said that the palace doesn't eat or drink, go and pass the meal, remember, the palace wants to eat called flower chicken." ”

"Ah......" Cui'er's eyebrows have already turned into a crescent moon laugh: "Slave maid, this is going!" ”

As Cui'er left, the kitchen of Princess Pingyang's Mansion was in a hurry, and in about three quarters of an hour, Cui'er brought the steaming flower chicken to Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning opened the outer layer of wrapped soil, reached out and tore off a piece of chicken, and put it in his mouth.

However, in an instant, Li Xiuning's brows furrowed, and the tighter his brows tightened.

Cui'er said, "Princess, what's wrong?" ”

"How can it be so unpalatable?" Li Xiuning doesn't know people's taste buds at all, but it is actually related to mood. When you're in a good mood, everything you eat is delicious. When you're in a bad mood, it's hard to swallow even if you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Li Xiuning called the cook, and the chef of the Princess Mansion in Pingyang was also born as an imperial chef and was proficient in the cooking of various dishes.

Li Xiuning carefully inquired about the chef's method and found that it was exactly the same as the method Chen Ying taught her.

Li Xiuning was puzzled: "Could it be that Chen Ying still hid a hand?" ”

Cui'er hurriedly drove the cook away, and asked mysteriously, "Princess, you seem to have something on your mind?" Is the princess worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be difficult for Chen Langjun? ”
