Li Xiuning stood on the city wall, looking at the Western Qin army camp in the distance, his face was indifferent.

Today's Tang Dynasty is also eventful, with the army of Luoyang Wang Shichong in the east, eyeing the border. In the west, there is the West Qin Xue Ju, attacking the city and pulling out the village, destroying the withered and decaying.

Could it be that Datang really sets at sunset?

For a moment, Li Xiuning was a little distracted.

"Your Highness the Princess!"

"Ahh Li Xiuning turned around and saw Chen Ying holding a black ball, smiling at him.

Li Xiuning suddenly discovered that Chen Ying was very good-looking. Just as men like to look at beautiful women, Li Xiuning, who is a woman, does not exclude good-looking handsome guys. Especially Chen Ying's deep eyes, which seem to have an inexplicable attraction.

Chen Ying said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, from morning to now, you haven't eaten a drop of water, should you be hungry?" ”

Li Xiuning said in surprise: "This is something to eat?" ”

"Of course!" Chen Ying dragged the black ball with his left hand, clenched his right hand into a fist, and smashed it heavily on the black ball, and suddenly, the fragrance was overflowing.

"...... this?"

"This is called Flower Chicken!"

Li Xiuning said suspiciously: "It's called a flower chicken?" How did you come up with such a weird name? ”

"According to legend, a long time ago, there was a man named Hanako, who begged for food along the way and went to a village in Changshu County. One day, he came across a chicken and wanted to slaughter it for cooking, but he had no cooking utensils or spices. He came to the foot of Yu Mountain, killed the chicken, removed the internal organs, smeared the yellow mud and firewood with the hair, put the coated chicken in the fire and roasted it, and when the mud dried the chicken was cooked, the mud shell was peeled off, and the chicken feathers were also taken off with the mud shell, revealing the chicken. ”

Chen Yingxin said nonsense: "Jiangnan Wangjianglou went to the rough and fine, created this famous dish, in order to commemorate the invention of this dish called Huazi, named Huaji." Don't look at this chicken, it doesn't look good, but it tastes very good, Your Royal Highness Princess, please taste it? ”

Chen Ying peeled off the black mud on the black ball, revealing the white and tender chicken inside, Chen Ying tore off the steaming chicken leg casually and handed it to Li Xiuning.

"Ahh Li Xiuning reached out to pick up this chicken leg, but she didn't expect that there was no abnormal chicken leg in Chen Ying's hand, it would be so hot, and Li Xiuning screamed in an instant.

"It doesn't hurt if you blow it!" Chen Ying hurriedly put the "called flower chicken" in his hand on the battlements of the city wall, Chen Ying only peeled off half of the black mud, but he didn't have to worry about unhygiene.

Chen Ying grabbed Li Xiuning's hand, put it to his mouth and blew it gently, it is said that Chen Ying's move was not only abrupt, but also even more rude.

However, Li Xiuning did not object.

In Li Xiuning's view, Chen Ying is a mystery both inside and down. Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying's gaze, which became more complicated.

Suddenly, a strange vision flooded into her mind, how nice would it be if the colt Chai Shao was half as considerate as he was?

Li Xiuning was startled by this thought, and Li Xiuning's face was red to the base of his neck.

Ma Sanbao looked at Li Xiuning, who was blushing, as if he understood something, and his face showed a look of horror.

Chen Ying didn't notice Li Xiuning's abnormality, he blew more than a dozen times in a row, and asked softly, "Is it better?" ”

Li Xiuning nodded.

Chen Ying picked up the chicken called Hua again, tore off a piece of chicken thigh, and gently sent it to Li Xiuning's mouth.

Li Xiuning made a ghost like a ghost, and lightly opened his teeth.

Ma Sanbao pulled and coaxed away the surrounding Pingyang Princess Mansion guards and Jingyang Township warriors.

Walking to a distance that Li Xiuning couldn't hear, Ma Sanbao lowered his voice and threatened everyone: "Lao Tzu, no matter what you see, if you are smart, you should treat it as if you haven't seen anything, if you have a long tongue, hum, Ma Sanbao's fist will teach you to regret coming to this world!" ”

The soldiers turned pale with fright, and nodded their heads again and again.

……

The Western Qin army surprisingly did not launch a new offensive, and every day it sent more than 100 cavalry to show off their might under the city wall.

It wasn't until the third day that Chen Ying felt that something was wrong.

He asked Zhang Huaiwei to send more than a dozen clever Jingyang Xiangyong to quietly explore the camp of the Western Qin army, but the Western Qin army actually retreated cleanly.

Chen Ying felt inexplicably wonderful, although the Western Qin army failed in its attack, it was far from necessary to retreat, and if some additional reinforcements were sent, it was not impossible to break through Jingyang.

With a stomach full of doubts, Chen Ying walked to the small courtyard where Princess Pingyang was staying.

However, when Chen Ying had just come to the periphery of this small courtyard, he was meeting Ma Sanbao.

Ma Sanbao said: "Manager Chen came just in time, I'm going to find you!" ”

"Looking for me? What's the matter? ”

"The angel of Chang'an is here!" Ma Sanbao said: "Your Majesty has an edict for Manager Chen?" ”

This angel is not the winged birdman in Western mythology, the implication is the envoy of the Son of Heaven, usually by the little yellow door or the yellow door attendant, or the inner attendant.

Chen Ying followed Ma Sanbao into the temporary residence of Princess Pingyang, and found that the incense case had been set up in the front yard, and there was a middle-aged eunuch with a white face and beard standing on the incense case.

Under the incense case, Li Xiuning, Xue Wanche and other generals bowed and stood with solemn expressions.

When the angel saw Chen Ying coming in, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an edict, Chen Ying will accept the order!" ”

When Chen Ying heard this, he quickly learned what he looked like on TV and knelt on his knees.

Li Xiuning, Xue Wanche and others all looked at Chen Ying suspiciously.

Ma Sanbao said in a low voice: "Manager Chen, you don't need to kneel, just bow down and stand!" ”

Chen Ying felt hot on his face, and scolded in his heart: "Film and television dramas are really deceitful!" ”

The angel cleared his throat and unfolded the holy decree of the Ming Emperor and sang: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said: I only know that the world is governed by literature, and the chaos is fought by force, and the army is handsome and general, Jingyang is victorious, and the government and the opposition are appeased." Praise and virtue, reward to its material, cloth clothes Chen Ying, loyal and brave, clarify the thief atmosphere, soothe Li Shu, is the country's sincerity, can be of great use, Zi Er for the general of Ning Yuan, fold the captain, to the border Rong, with the edict Lu cloth, salty smell inside and outside the ...... Chin this! ”

Chen Ying was not sad or happy, and received the holy decree respectfully with both hands.

Chen Ying's performance fell in Li Xiuning's eyes, and he became calm and humble, knew how to advance and retreat, and knew the general situation, which was really a material that could be made.

In fact, Chen Ying was already confused at this time, his knowledge of ancient Chinese literature was really limited, and he was basically confused about the meaning of this holy decree.

Zhongjing Yang Xiangyong congratulated Chen Ying.

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen!"

"Congratulations to General Chen!"

After a long time, Chen Ying came back to his senses. Li Xiuning was also holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand, and it seemed that Li Yuan also gave Li Xiuning a holy decree.

Li Xiuning said: "You hand over Jingyang Defense to Xue Wanche, after the handover, go back to Chang'an with me!" ”

"Ah...... Return...... Back to Chang'an? Chen Ying suddenly said, "Can you not go back?" ”

Chen Yingke did not forget that because Su Hu wanted to defile and defile him, he had no choice but to hurt Su Hu. Although it was Chen Ying's dead ghost who was fighting Su at that time, this account would definitely fall on his head.

Li Xiuning asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Chen Ying thought about it, but still felt that he didn't tell Li Xiuning the details of his friendship with Su Hu, so he said nonsense: "Don't hide it from Her Royal Highness the Princess, I was originally a fugitive slave of Su Hu under the order of Wannian County, if I return to Chang'an, how can Su Hu give up?" ”

"Su Hu?" Li Xiuning said disapprerovingly: "I'm afraid that he will do something, you are now my person, how dare he be presumptuous again?" ”
