Chapter 635 Wonton Noodles
Li Juncheng felt a little guilty when he saw it. He lowered his eyes, smiled, and calmly put the dagger in his sleeve back.
After a moment, he took a deep breath, his face became much calmer, he straightened his body and looked at Lu Qiyan, "How did Commander Lu see it?"
"A large number of masked black-clothed gangsters appeared out of thin air in Bieyuan. It is obvious that some of them cooperated with each other in order to sabotage the peace talks and cause some trouble for our Western Frontier Army."
Lu Qiyan said, "Your Highness is determined to promote peace talks and will definitely not do such a thing. The only one who can do such a thing and wants to do it is Tao Ankang."
"I can think of this. His Highness is much smarter than me, so he can naturally think of it. But since His Highness can think of it, he follows Tao Ankang, who is said to be thinking about your safety, to escape from the other garden. This is obviously not in line with common sense."
"There is only one reason for this, that is, His Highness just wanted to see what Tao Ankang was going to do, and killed him by the way."
"Commander Lu is right." Li Juncheng didn't hide anything and responded calmly, "It's true. I noticed Tao Ankang was sneaky a few nights ago, so I sent someone to follow him and found that he was gathering some people. I didn't know it. What to do.”
"I wanted to follow him today. I heard from him about his collusion with his eldest brother, but Tao Ankang is really a bit clumsy. He put all the things on his head without talking about it. I actually felt that this matter was not relevant. There is nothing wrong with it, and it is difficult to judge if it is true.”
"Now that I have told Commander Lu the truth, will Commander Lu also tell me the truth?"
Lu Qiyan raised his eyebrows, "I wonder what the Second Highness wants to know?"
"Just now I heard Commander Lu say to Tao Ankang that if he kills me and ruins the entire peace talks and causes the two countries to go to war again, it will be exactly what Commander Lu wants."
Li Juncheng said, "I thought about it. Commander Lu is a person who made his fortune through military service. His current power and status are all obtained by fighting against Jin Weiguo. Commander Lu probably really doesn't want the war to stop." .”
"Does Commander Lu not want the peace talks to proceed as scheduled, and wants to do everything possible to sabotage them?"
Lu Qiyan laughed, "Commander Xia and I are both escorts for the peace talks delegation to Beijing. It is our duty to escort His Highness and the delegation to Beijing. The rest are not within our scope of consideration. They all have to be escorted to Beijing." Obey the emperor’s will.”
This is an answer, but there seems to be no answer.
He only said that he acted according to orders and was loyal to the emperor, but did not say what he really thought.
Does this kind of considerate way of answering mean that Lu Qiyan really likes the war to resume?
At the very least, he should not resist.
This is something worth thinking about and taking seriously.
Li Juncheng narrowed his eyes, "What Commander Lu said is absolutely true."
"Now the inside and outside of the Villa have been basically cleaned up. It's getting late, so Your Highness should go back and rest as soon as possible."
Lu Qiyan said, "I will truthfully tell the emperor the whole story of this matter. Your Highness should also think about how to report this matter to the leader of Jin Wei Kingdom."
"In addition, because of today's incident, in order to prevent Tao Ankang's men who escaped from causing trouble again, I need to temporarily change the original plan for the next few days. I am sorry that His Highness and his entourage will completely obey my arrangements."
"That's natural." Li Juncheng smiled slightly, "It's just that Commander Lu needs to remember his loyalty." The peace talks were something approved by the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. As long as Lu Qiyan was loyal to the Emperor, he would not do anything to him. Unfavorable things.
"I am a minister of the Great Zhou Kingdom, so I naturally keep the word loyalty in my heart."
Lu Qiyan's words revealed his attitude.
Li Juncheng nodded again, "Then don't worry. Everything in the future will be arranged by Commander Lu. I will discipline and restrain the entire delegation so as not to cause more trouble for Commander Lu."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Qiyan cupped his hands and walked away with his long sword.
Xia Yunji followed behind.
After checking the situation of the villa, he asked his subordinates to clean up the corpses and bloodstains everywhere, and notified County Magistrate Li to send someone to clean up the records. He also told everyone to strictly monitor and patrol throughout the night to ensure safety.
When everything was basically in place, Dongfang also showed its white belly.
The faint glow of morning light heralded the passing of darkness and made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
But because they had been busy almost all night, everyone was exhausted. After County Magistrate Li arrived with his officials and county guards, Xia Yunji told his subordinates to take turns sleeping and resting.

Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji were also planning to go back for a short rest, but first they went to visit Xia Mingyue.
At this time, Xia Mingyue also stayed up all night.
Although the masked attackers never arrived at the courtyard where she lived, the screams outside, the clash of weapons, and the sounds of people coming and going were terrifying.
Especially since Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji had not returned yet, she felt as if a big stone was hanging in her heart, making her restless.
Until the commotion outside gradually subsided, the guard guarding the door also sent word that everything was under control. Even Wu Jin, who had been wandering back and forth in the house and was restless, was lying quietly on the ground and squinting. After closing her eyes, Xia Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease.
Thinking that Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue must be hungry and cold after such a busy night, they went to the small kitchen in the courtyard and made breakfast with Yinqiao.
Xia Mingyue makes wonton noodles.
Wontons and wontons are made in a similar way. They are both made of meat stuffing wrapped in dough, seasoned with soup, and then eaten.
However, most wontons use pork and fresh shrimp as fillings, and duck eggs are often added to the dough when making it to enhance the texture and delicious taste of the dough.
But at this time, she was staying in Bieyuan on the way, and there were no fresh shrimps on hand, so Xia Mingyue chopped up all the hind leg meat, which was 70% lean and 30% fat, and seasoned it for wrapping. The soup for wontons was cooked with chicken racks. The stewed soup is cooked, some dried river shrimps are added to enhance the freshness, and then green chives are garnished. It is full of color, flavor and flavor.
As for the noodles that go with the wontons, Xia Mingyue did not use ordinary hands to roll the noodles, but made a fairly authentic bamboo noodles.
The so-called bamboo noodles are made from duck eggs, flour, alkaline water, etc., without adding too much water. In order for the loose flour and duck eggs to be completely integrated and compacted, it needs to be squeezed vigorously. The usual method is People sit on the long and thick bamboo and use up and down pressure to completely knead the duck egg flour into dough. The dough produced in this way is extremely tight, and the noodles produced are naturally chewy, delicious and delicious.
