"I see His Highness is wandering around, but he just had lunch and wanted to walk around to eat something?"
Li Juncheng, "..."
This opening made him conclude that he had already finished dinner. How could he answer the question?
How to answer the call!
Li Juncheng murmured for a long time, not knowing how to answer at all.
Lu Qiyan continued, "If you need to eat, Your Highness, you might as well go over there for a walk. Although it is winter now, there are also many birds living here for the winter. The weather is good today, so you can probably see a lot of scenery." .”
"Although all the reed flowers by the river have withered in winter, they still look quite different when you look at them."
Li Juncheng frowned for a long time, then finally nodded and squeezed out the word "ok" through his teeth.
He even raised his hand to Lu Qiyan and said, "Thank you, Commander Lu, for the suggestion. I'll go take a look."
OK, take a look!
Li Juncheng almost gritted his teeth and turned around to leave. Before leaving, he twitched his nose again and again, as if he was full of regrets and very reluctant.
This scene made Xia Mingyue laugh.
I have never seen Lu Qiyan so stingy and stingy now...
Actually a little cute?
But having said this, although Jin Weiguo came to Beijing to negotiate peace, his relationship with the Great Zhou Kingdom at this time was also very delicate.
Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji escorted them all the way. It was just the courtesy of the Great Zhou Kingdom and the necessary etiquette of the host. There was no need to escort all Li Juncheng and his party.
This kind of distance is also one of the means of game between the two countries.
Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled. Seeing that the grilled fish in the bamboo tube was almost at the same temperature, she asked Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji to take down the bamboo tube together and prepare to untie the hemp rope.
The large bamboo tube was originally cut in the middle and tied again. At this time, you only need to remove the hemp rope, and the remaining half is placed flatly on the stone that serves as a temporary table, and it becomes a natural plate container. .
Grab your chopsticks, grab another piece of the soft and fluffy yeast pancake baked by the chefs, and eat right away!
The grilled fish has a slightly spicy taste, so it is best to eat it while it is still hot, as it will be slightly scalding in your mouth.
The fish meat is tender and delicious. It is not only fragrant but also has a rich flavor due to the addition of various seasonings. The more you eat, the more delicious it becomes.
"It's delicious!" Xia Yunji sighed vaguely while inhaling cool air to cool down the slightly hot fish meat in his mouth.
"It's delicious." Lu Qiyan couldn't help but praise it repeatedly, and kept putting two pieces of fresh fish belly on Xia Mingyue.
"Not bad." Xia Mingyue nodded again and again.
The grilled fish baked in a bamboo tube is full of country atmosphere, and now it is a real picnic, which adds more flavor and makes the eating experience even more unique.
All in all...
Delicious and comforting!
Not to mention Zhuang Cui and Yin Qiao, they ate so much that they didn't even have the time to speak. When they occasionally paused, they were busy carefully filtering out the fish bones they accidentally took into their mouths with their tongues and teeth.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, tasting and discussing delicious food such as grilled fish in bamboo tubes. Li Juncheng, who was tearing off a reed flower out of boredom in the distance, raised his chin slightly.
The sun was shining brightly today and the breeze was gentle, but why did he feel so cold?
It seemed like a cold wind was blowing through my heart, extremely biting... And in the afternoon, the originally gentle breeze gradually became stronger. The wind was able to roll up the sand and gravel on the road, and even caused the branches of the trees that had already lost their leaves to creak. Sound.
In the evening, the sky became completely overcast, and then the wind became stronger and stronger, and in the second half of the night, fine snowflakes started to drift.
The snowflakes were not big or dense. They fell with the wind. After falling on the ground, they were quickly blown away by the biting cold wind.
So in the morning of the next day, although the snowflakes were still flying, there was no snow left on the ground. The occasional snowflakes that had not been blown away were frozen firmly on the ground because of the too low temperature. After stepping on them, Hard and slippery.
Such weather was not suitable for continuing the journey, so Lu Qiyan decided to rest at this post station for another day and wait for the weather conditions before making a decision.
When Tao Kanglai saw this, his face was full of sneers, "It's just a little wind and some snowflakes, so we have to wait here for a day. The soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom are really very delicate."
"This kind of weather is nothing in Jin Weiguo. Not to mention the soldiers of Jin Weiguo, even ordinary children who have just learned to walk will not be afraid. If you can't stand it and continue to stay here, we won't accompany you! ”
After Tao Kang came to speak, he ordered Jin Weiguo to pack up and prepare to set off.
"This Tao Kanglai, his scar has really healed and he has forgotten the pain." Xia Yunji sneered and stepped forward, wanting to have a good time with Tao Kanglai again.
Lu Qiyan stopped him, "Since he is willing to continue on his way, then we will follow him. There is no need to argue with him over such a trivial matter."
"But..." Xia Yunji disagreed with this, "Given Tao's temperament, he will definitely be arrogant and domineering again, causing trouble everywhere."
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Not to mention the trouble, it would also disgrace the great Zhou Kingdom.
It's not that he is petty, but there are some things that he just wants to care about.
"That's what I said, but it's just superficial." Lu Qiyan lowered his voice, "Before leaving, Commander Xiang told us to take a look at Meiling when escorting the delegation to Beijing. I've seen the map. Meiling is not far away from us, but there is no suitable station to stay near Meiling. I am still thinking about how to find a reason.”
And now, the reason is delivered to the door.
Braving the wind and snow, they passed through Meiling. They were infected with wind and cold and it was not suitable to continue their journey, so they stayed there for a few days.
The reasons are valid and reasonable.
"That's right." Xia Yunji nodded, but also raised his own question, "But it's windy and snowy, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the inn tonight."
"That's right." Lu Qiyan said, "So in order to prevent this kind of unexpected situation, I had already sent someone to notify Magistrate Li and stayed at his house in a villa outside the city."
"It's just a temporary stay. Things happened suddenly. The so-called villa in Magistrate Li's home is just a run-down manor. It has been uninhabited for a long time and is not cleaned in time..."
Naturally, the accommodation will not be as comfortable as the inn.
You have to figure out what to eat and drink on your own!
What you want is nothing!
Xia Yunji immediately understood Lu Qiyan's intention and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "What my brother-in-law said is true. Since General Tao is so insistent on going on his way, then just let him go. There is no need to argue with him too much over these trivial matters." , Only in this way can we show our magnanimity. ”
Lu Qiyan reached out and patted Xia Yunji on the shoulder, "Send a message to everyone, pack your things immediately and prepare to set off."
He also warned, "Remember to tell your subordinates to bring enough charcoal and dry food." (End of Chapter)
