On the border of Daxia, the night is deep and everything is quiet.
On cold winter nights, it is always extraordinarily peaceful.
In addition to the biting cold wind howling, bringing with it bursts of sound.
In the dark night, outside the city gate, a middle-aged monk was walking.
It was obviously winter, but he was wearing thin clothes and his feet were bare.
He walked on the snow step by step without leaving any footprints.
Seeing the border town of Daxia from a distance, the monk stopped in his tracks.
He raised his head.
"Bodhi falls in the north, and green leaves grow in the cold winter. Why does this great summer, which is extremely hostile to our Buddhist sect, have the auspicious appearance of Buddha?"
The monk murmured to himself.
After a while, he walked again. In the wilderness, no big movements could be seen on his body, but he moved very fast. He quickly disappeared into the night, heading towards Daxia Kyoto.
At Xiao Wanli's house.
At this time, Xiao Hongmian and Xiao Hongmian were sitting on a copper pot.
It's just that this copper pot is far less beautiful than the copper pots of later generations.
The style is extremely simple, with a charcoal fire underneath.
On her table, there were many thinly sliced muttons.
In the coldest month of winter, the mutton is easy to cut after being left outside for a while to freeze.
She has already prepared the sauce.
He was looking into the pot expectantly.
Although she is beautiful, but to be honest, she doesn't pay much attention to her appearance.
But I prefer to eat.
When she is happiest, she eats delicious food she has never tasted before!
Finally, when the soup in the pot boils, Xiao Hongmian picks up the mutton and puts it into the pot. After a few seconds, when the mutton changes color, he immediately takes it out, dips it in the sauce, and puts it directly into his mouth!
Plenty of juice, combined with the smooth and tender mutton and the rich flavor of the sauce, instantly made Xiao Hongmian feel extremely satisfied!
"tasty!"
The way to eat hot pot is not very complicated, but the taste is suitable for most people's tastes.
Especially as Xiao Hongmian, who has never eaten hot pot before, eating hot hot pot in the cold winter months makes her body warm and comfortable.
It’s just that Xiao Hongmian has such an appetite, so she prepared several plates of meat on the table.
I originally thought I would force it down even if it didn’t taste good, but now, it’s obviously not enough!
She shouted loudly: "Xia He, go and ask the kitchen to cut twenty more plates of mutton for me!"
As soon as the words fell, the maid outside the door immediately left.
Just a moment later, the door was pushed open, and it was Xiao Wanli.
"Hey, what are you making something delicious? I happened to be passing by, give me a try!"
In response, Xiao Hongmian did not refuse, but asked softly: "Did Xia He go to the kitchen?"
"went?"
"How are you going to eat if you don't let her bring you a pair of bowls and chopsticks?"
Looking at the steaming copper pot on the table, Xiao Wanli fell into deep thought.
According to Xiao Hongmian's character, there is absolutely no such thing as using her chopsticks to pick up things and feed them to herself.
My well-behaved daughter belongs to someone else!
However, it is a small problem if he does it or not, but it is too unsightly. The most important thing is that if he does it here, Xiao Hongmian will become anxious over there.
General Xiao, who was so majestic outside, smiled apologetically and said, "Haha, don't worry, don't worry, Xia He will come back later, just let her run again."
Kyoto, inside a teahouse.
Jiang Feng walked inside and came to the private room on the second floor.
He knocked lightly on the door.
A voice came from the door: "Young Master Jiang, right? Come in."
Jiang Feng pushed the door open and saw a housekeeper in his forties with a goatee sitting on a chair.
Seeing Jiang Feng come in, he did not get up, but signaled Jiang Feng to close the door.
Jiang Feng closed the door, came to the table, and said coldly: "Who are you? Why did you invite me here?"
"I am Wang Quansheng, the steward of Prince Qingping's Mansion."
As soon as this name came out, Jiang Feng's face became solemn. For him, the Qingping Prince's Mansion was a level that was difficult to get in touch with.
"What do you want from me?"
"Sit first!"
With a smile on his face, Wang Quansheng stretched out his hand to signal Jiang Feng to sit down.
He also took the initiative to pour tea for Jiang Feng.
After the two of them sat down, he smiled and said: "I came to see you today because of one thing, about Chu Ze!"
"Chu Ze? What do you mean?" Jiang Feng frowned.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? Everyone in Kyoto knows about the conflict between our heir apparent and Chu Ze, and your Jiang family's foundation was ruined by Chen Jinsong. I'm afraid you already hate him to the core, right?"
"
"Chu Ze and I are brothers!"
Wang Quansheng smiled and waved his hand and said: "Brothers are not brothers, let's not talk about it for now. I just want to convey the meaning of our prince. On the prince's side, he does not participate in court battles all the year round, and he doesn't have many people under his command. The only one who has some skills is also
It’s too easy to be recognized! Your Majesty asked me to pass on a message to you. As long as your Jiang family can kill Chu Ze, our Prince will help you find an official position in the imperial court and start at the seventh rank!"
Upon hearing this condition, Jiang Feng's heart tightened.
He has a good talent, but entering the imperial court is not just based on talent.
Especially the seventh grade official!
You know, Chu Ze is currently a person with no rank.
As for his third uncle, although he is now in charge of the return of the World Escort Bureau to the imperial court, he is only a sixth-rank official.
If he were at level seven, his starting point would be too high.
This temptation is great for him!
Just listen to Wang Quansheng continue: "Chu Ze is now in charge of patrolling the streets of Dongcheng. Although there are some people around him, most of them are not high in cultivation. As long as we find an opportunity for him to be alone, attack and kill him with two masters, and evacuate in the busy city, it is not
It’s very difficult! The main reason is that the prince can’t find suitable manpower, so I hope that your Jiang family can help the prince. If this happens, your Jiang family will form an alliance with our palace, and you will become a close friend of the prince. I am very grateful to you.
It will be very helpful in the future!”
With that said, Wang Quansheng took out a wad of banknotes from his arms and placed them on the table!
"If Master Jiang agrees, you can take the fifty thousand taels of silver. Of course, you can also go back and think about it slowly."
"I need to go back and discuss it. What should I do if I want to see you?"
"Three days later, I will still be here waiting for you! Give me your answer!"
"It's a deal!"
"Okay, I'll take the money first. If that doesn't work, I'll pay it back in three days!"
"no problem!"
Seeing Jiang Feng holding the money and about to leave, Wang Quansheng suddenly smiled and said: "There is one more thing to remind you, that Chu Ze has a strong foundation and Chen Jinsong's support. You and he have already formed a rift. If he really
If he soars into the sky, you may be suppressed by him for the rest of your life!"
Jiang Feng paused, then opened the door and went out.
After a while, Wang Quansheng shouted: "Waiter, check out!"
When the waiter came in, Wang Quansheng threw down a piece of silver and said with a smile: "What do you think I look like?"
"The guest officer is naturally extremely heroic, and he is among the best among men!"
"Haha, I'll reward you with the rest of the money."
Wang Quansheng also dropped the money and rushed back to Prince Qingping's Mansion.
Seeing that no one was around, he entered Prince Qingping's Mansion through the back door, and immediately went to wash his face and remove his makeup. When everything was over, his appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes. He looked at least ten years older, and his facial features were the same as before.
What a huge difference!
After everything was completed, he went straight to King Qingping's study!
After entering the study, Zhao Chen was also there.
He bowed and said: "Prince Qi, the crown prince, has conveyed the prince's intention to Jiang Feng, and he has also accepted the money, and I specially asked the waiter to remember his appearance after the disguise. Even if the incident in Dong Chuang happens, he will
