Chapter Seventy-Nine: Meeting (I)
"Please come with me."
Zheng Yichun looked at the soldier with the beam gun in front of him, exchanged colors with the people around him, and stepped forward to ask, "This little brother, where are we going?" ”
The soldier glanced at him, "Just change your room, let's go quickly." ”
There were anxious expressions on the faces of several people, and when they were hesitating, the unruly man strode forward and said lightly: "Let's go, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." What if we spend a little more time here. ”
The old knife and the cook glanced at each other, and with a bitter smile on their faces, they followed behind the man.
The crowd, "protected" by a group of soldiers, left the small room. After a few minutes of walking through a long hallway, I came to a large hall. There were several tables in the hall, the delicate meal was still steaming, and several attendants stood silently on the side, without the slightest expression on their faces.
"It's ......"
Everyone looked at all this in amazement, and they were a little incredulous, could it be that these were all prepared for them?
"Hahaha, Liang Xiaoxiao, it seems that your grandfather has analyzed it correctly. Chu Tang is trying to entrap us, so that we can help them. The rebellious man laughed and took the lead in swaggering down at a table.
The old knife was in a hurry, guessing what the other party meant by setting up such a table. But he absolutely didn't believe that this was Chu Tang's posing in order to entrap them. At this time, the cook pulled his sleeve and asked softly, "What do you think?" ”
Old Dao shook his head: "I don't know, but it shouldn't be a bad thing." ”
The cook smiled, and her face showed a thousand styles: "Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, at least you can be a full ghost." Now that people have put it out, we have to give some face, right? ”
The old knife also smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Let's sit down casually and see what they mean." ”
Hearing this, everyone found a place to sit down. Smelling the aroma of the exquisite food in front of him, no one moved his chopsticks.
"What a big deal...... After sitting down, the cook swept her eyes over the food in front of her and couldn't help but exclaim.
"How?" The old knife beside him asked in a low voice.
The cook was originally the palace maid of the Zhao Song royal family, and now she has opened countless restaurants in Isseras, so she is very proficient in food and drink. She pointed to a dark-brown dish in front of her, which looked like a dirty piece of cloth, but exuded an attractive aroma, and whispered to the old knife: "Look at this, if I guess correctly, this should be made of the thick skin on the neck of the long-necked guinea lizard." ”
Old Dao had a look of surprise on his face, as a smuggler, he often smuggled some treasures, and heard the name of the long-necked guinea lizard. This is a rare creature that only lives on a planet on the southern border of Chu and Tang, and the thick skin on its neck is very delicious, but the price is high, even in the Chu and Tang regions, the price per 500 grams is as high as thousands of imperial gold dollars. In front of him, the material cost alone may not be less than five thousand.
"And that one." The cook pointed to another plate of colorful jelly-like things on the table and said, "If you guess correctly, that one should be made with hundreds of years of wisteria and cinnamon, which has obvious benefits for those who practice martial arts, and the price is at least twice as high as that of the long-necked guinea lizard." ”
The old knife's face changed, and he glanced at the jelly-like dish. After a moment, he asked, "What about the others?" ”
The cook smiled bitterly and swept over the dozen or so dishes, shook her head and said, "To be honest, I don't know." I don't know more than 20% of the things in this. ”
Old Dao's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his face flushed with excitement. The cook beside him hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, are you sick?" ”
"No...... It's not ......" The old knife tried to calm his mood, but it was useless at all, and his heart was beating very fast, even making him worry about whether he would jump out of his body in the next moment.
"You, what do you think...... In order to envelop us, will Chu Tang put up these things? The old knife took a deep breath, looked excited, and even a little crazy, and continued: "Unless...... Unless it's that person......"
"Ah......" The cook exclaimed, covering her mouth with her right hand, her complexion changed, and she was also extremely excited, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you, you...... You're saying it's really that person who knows what we're here for? ”
After saying this, two water marks slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she was finally going to see that person?
At this time, several people in the restaurant had already discovered the movement of the cook and the old knife, and whispered to each other, but no one knew what was going on.
At this moment, the attendants who had been standing quietly on the side lined up in a neat line, and they were the only ones left in the huge space.
"Ahem...... the old knife stood up and coughed heavily, attracting everyone's attention. He swept over the crowd, took a deep breath, and said, "Now, everyone tidy up their appearance. If I'm not mistaken, someone will be coming to see us soon. ”
Everyone was still very convinced of the old knife, and when they heard this, they sorted out each other, and sat up one by one, revealing their spiritual side. They all know that although they don't know who they are about to meet, they all understand that the person who appears below may be the one who decides their life and death.
A slight sound of footsteps came to everyone's ears from the doorway, and when they looked back, they all seemed to be petrified. And the tears that the cook had just stopped fell again.
Coming in was a young girl, a girl who looked like she was only a little over ten years old, with a slightly immature face, wearing a gorgeous purple dress, holding a jade scepter with silver brilliance in her right hand, holding a golden square seal in her left hand, and wearing a certain delicate glowing crown on her head, with a solemn face, and slowly walked in.
Behind her, a handsome young man, dressed in a black court attendant's outfit, with a sheathed sword diagonally hanging from his waist, followed closely behind the girl.
While the young people sitting there were still stunned, some of the old people had already stood up, staring at the girl tightly, trembling all over.
The cook left her seat unconsciously, walked up to the girl, and stared at her intensely. Suddenly, there was a cry of sorrow, and he fainted softly on the ground. At the moment when she fell, the young man behind the girl lifted the cook up with an arrow step, and a mellow internal breath poured in.
“…… You...... You...... Are you ...... Is it Her Royal Highness the Princess? The old knife didn't seem to see the cook faint, and looked at the girl deadly, wanting to speak but finding that he had stammered for a long time, and used all his strength to say what was in his heart.
The girl showed an unbearable and sad look on her face, and she lightly opened her lips, and her voice was like a heavenly sound: "It's me." ”
"Poof."
Except for a few puzzled faces, almost everyone knelt in front of her. They were excited, and everyone wanted to say something, but they found that their throats seemed to be blocked by something, and they couldn't say a word. Some people laughed, some cried, and the whole restaurant was in a mess.
"What are you doing, let's get up first." The girl's expression was sad, and her mood was also excited.
But everyone didn't seem to hear her words, and they were excited for a long time, how could they be okay for a while?
"It's been four years, it's been four years...... old knife raised his head, looked at the face in front of him that was exactly the same as in his memory, and muttered: "When I heard that the empress had passed away, I couldn't wait to find Nazagu and die." Later, I heard from the people who escaped by luck that the princess was still alive in the world. At that time, I swore that in this life, I would find Her Royal Highness the princess and restore the Zhao and Song empires, even if the sword and axe were added and the catastrophe would not be recovered. Today, I finally see my face again, God treats me well! ”
After speaking, the old tears were rampant, and everyone cried bitterly.
Tears also fell from the corners of the girl's eyes, looking at these people in front of her, her heart was infarcted, and she was about to say something. At this time, the unruly man in the crowd walked out, looked at the girl, and said slowly.
"You said you are Her Royal Highness the Princess, but what evidence do you have?"
