Chinese dining table

Chapter 700 Noble Assassin

In the middle of the night, Li Hong lay on his bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Every time he turned around, he could see the two masters playing chess.

The two of them played chess very slowly, and it took a long time to make a move.

Yunchu still knows a little bit about Go, his former teacher was an amateur Go player.

Go in the Tang Dynasty was still in the era of fierce killing, and chess players at this time liked the big dragon strangling the most.

For the overall layout, he is not as proficient as the chess players of later generations.

Xu Jingzong is one of the masters. From the very beginning, he followed Yunchu close to the strangulation, so that Yunchu had no free time to deploy in the corner.

Just when the two dragons on the chessboard entered the hand of life and death, a poisonous snake slowly swam from under Li Hong's bed onto the bed.

This is a black snake, just by looking at its triangular head, you can tell that it is not a good person.

After the snake swam onto the bed, it straightened its head and looked at Li Hong who was also staring at it.

Yun Chu landed a piece at the corner, and the four pieces have already been formed, but because of the formation at the corner, his big dragon lacked momentum and fell into a slump.

When Xu Jingzong saw Yunchu Luozi in the corner, he snorted coldly, and Luozi robbed and killed Dalong.

The black poisonous snake jumped out like lightning and bit the pillow in Li Hong's hand. Li Hong immediately caught the snake by seven inches.

Feeling guilty, he looked up at the two masters who were still playing chess, grabbed the snake, squeezed the snake's mouth open, and pressed the two white fangs against the wood on the bedside.

As soon as the fangs landed on the wood, two crystal drops of snake venom appeared on the wood. Li Hong continued to press down, pressed the fangs into the wood, and pulled it hard again, and the two sharp fangs remained with the poison sacs. on wood.

The snake couldn't scream, but the pain still made the three-foot-long snake wrap tightly around Li Hong's arm.

Li Hong looked at the venomous fangs and venom sac left on the bed, and opened the snake's mouth to check. He didn't see the third fang, so he let the snake continue to wrap around his arm in peace.

His eyes were looking around... The two masters did not allow him to leave his sight, so he could only hope to meet more poisonous snakes...

Li Hong is not afraid of snakes, not only is he not afraid, but he also likes these cold-blooded animals, especially the cold body of this thing is very comfortable to hold.

Naha taught him the ability to catch snakes. Naha not only knows how to catch snakes, but also skins snakes and makes snake soup. Of course, the taste of this thing is not so good when it is baked.

The snake meat is very thin, and there is a big bone in the middle that goes from the head to the tail. Meat goes well with rice and even wine.

The snake soup is delicious, and there are basically no shortcomings. Throw the whole skinned snake into it and cook it over high heat.

Then add a little pepper and salt to it, and beat a little water starch, wait for the snake meat to float in the soup, and then break two eggs into the bowl, the egg yolk is not needed, just the egg white, use chopsticks to force in one direction Beat evenly, then pour it against the side of the pot.

Then, there will be pink and white snake meat silk in the pot, floating in it with white egg whites, and then vigorously stir the soup pot, a pot of fragrant and translucent snake soup is ready.

It is best not to use a spoon to eat this kind of snake soup. Pick up the bowl and pour it into the stomach, pour it down in one breath, do not stop in the middle...you will feel the delicious snake soup from the mouth into the throat, and finally into the stomach pouch, The whole body is comfortable... Especially in the cold morning, there is such a joy to drink with such a bowl of soup.

When Li Hong thought of this, he pinched the black poisonous snake wrapped around his arm. He felt that the snake was not fat enough, and the soup it made should not be enough for three people to drink, so he opened his eyes wide and looked at the top of the tent, hoping that there was also a snake there Crawling in, it is best to be a poisonous snake. When making soup, the more poisonous the better.

In this case, there will be extra snake soup for Naha to drink.

Suddenly there was a mournful flute sound outside the window, this thing couldn't play any joyful and festive tunes, the whining sound was very much like a woman's weeping.

Li Hong also doesn't like the sound of the hole flute, he has a special hobby for the trumpet just like Naha.

As long as the trumpet sounded, it felt like the sun pierced through the dark clouds and the earth was bright... However, Naha's trumpet sounded like a rooster crowing, and Li Hong's trumpet sound was not much better, just like a chicken dying.

However, this does not prevent the two of them from blowing the trumpet vigorously together and enjoying themselves.

The sound of the hole flute came from the side halls of the East Palace, where dozens of beautiful women lived, and they had been in the East Palace for three days.

The age ranges from 13 to 16 years old, and all of them look like ladies. Yesterday, Li Hong took Naha, who was dressed as a man, to see them secretly. There are fat and thin ones. Naha thinks great.

Li Hong kept his eyes on the top of the tent, but unfortunately, since the sound of the flute sounded, there was no snake crawling down again.

There was a sound of "Boom", and then a ray of light illuminated Li Hong's bedroom, even though it was only a moment, it overshadowed the candlelight.

Li Hong jumped up from the bed like a carp, and came to the two masters with bare feet. He wanted to talk, but found that the two masters were still playing chess and ignored the outside affairs.

It wasn't until Xu Jingzong saw a poisonous snake wrapped around Li Hong's wrist that he grabbed three chess pieces and put them on the board to admit defeat.

"The old man's chess style is too aggressive, unlike Yunhou's full layout, and finally wins by force. It seems that the old man's chess style is not suitable for His Royal Highness."

Yun Chu shook his head and pointed to the blank space in the middle, "Central Plains, Central Plains, a land of prosperity is not comparable to a place of bitter cold on the fringes."

Seeing the two masters talking, Li Hong quickly pointed out the window and said, "There is a fight outside."

Yunchu looked at the poisonous snake on Li Hong's wrist and said, "Xiao Siye should be able to eliminate assassins."

Xu Jingzong said: "Since a poisonous snake has entered the prince's bedroom, there is still an internal trouble."

Yunchu looked at Li Hong in puzzlement and said, "How do you manage the East Palace, and why are there loopholes everywhere?"

Li Hong grabbed the snake's head and tore the poisonous snake off his arm. He said with a smile, "everything is fine. Since the arrival of 47 court ladies and servants three days ago, the Eastern Palace has become what it is now."

Yun Chu looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "They are all court ladies with names and surnames, how dare they do this?"

Xu Jingzong said: "The people are chosen by His Majesty, not sent by others on their own initiative. As long as they can enter the East Palace, whether they are good or bad is the Crown Prince's business. It is also the Prince's business to kill or cut them."

Yun Chu smiled and said to Li Hong: "It seems that the royal family is really not that important in people's eyes."

Li Hong grabbed the snake in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, they will know what commands the world are in the future, and they dare not refuse."

Yun Chu listened carefully and asked Li Hong.

"How long will it take for the six princes to rush from various defenses to the battlefield?"

Li Hongdao: "The time for a stick of incense."

Yunchu said to Li Hong and Xu Jingzong: "That means that the people who came here are dead men. Once they came in, they didn't intend to go back."

Xu Jingzong said worriedly: "Marquis Yun, there are only three of us in this yard, you shouldn't drive all the guards out of the yard."

Yun Chu spread his hands and said: "The only thing I can be sure of is that Mr. Xu and I will not harm the prince. I can't trust the rest."

"Boom, boom, boom," there were three explosions in succession, which made the window sills rattle, and the sound of the explosion was already very close to Li Hong's bedroom.

Xu Jingzong said again: "It's supposed to be the army that protects the crown prince so that he can be safe. With Marquis Yun's arrangement, isn't he afraid that something will happen to the crown prince?"

Yun Chu said with a smile: "In the Eastern Palace under the guard of the army, no one dares to plot an assassination, you will make their plans anticlimactic and come to an end, and His Majesty will not be able to see the situation clearly, and will be suspicious randomly.

Now, we have laid out everything for His Majesty to see, which will reduce a lot of insignificant internal friction. "

After explaining to Xu Jingzong, Yunchu said to Li Hong again: "Did you forget what I taught you?"

Hearing this, Li Hong excitedly picked up a horizontal knife and said, "I haven't forgotten."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "If you don't forget, take Mr. Xu to hide."

Li Hong said disappointedly: "Master is talking about the secret room."

Yun Chu laughed and said, "They even have gunpowder now, why don't you go into battle if you don't hide?"

Before Li Hong could continue speaking, Xu Jingzong held his hand and said, "Where is the secret room?"

Li Hong sighed, and pushed open a tall and heavy bookshelf, revealing a secret door, Xu Jingzong hurriedly dragged Li Hong into the secret room, and then the bookshelf returned to its original position, with a click, the mechanism inside should be locked.

Yunchu opened the window, and looked indifferently at the battle that was getting closer and closer. The people participating in the battle were obviously from three parties, one group was in black, the other was in white, and the other was Li Hong's East Palace guards.

The Eastern Palace Guards didn't fight bravely so that the enemy rushed here. The main reason was that a group of men in black would ignite the gunpowder on their bodies whenever they had the chance, and then died together with the Eastern Palace Guards.

Yun Chu glanced at the battlefield, and then turned his attention to the East Palace side hall group full of women.

A raging fire had already ignited there, and the woman's cries and screams could still be vaguely heard.

Yunchu was very sure that the fire there should not have been caused by the assassins, and of course, it would not have been caused by Li Hong, after all, the person who manages the East Palace is still the empress of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Hong didn't like those court ladies, Wu Mei knew this, and she also felt that it was a very humiliating thing for her eldest son to accept those ladies.

The most important point is that Wu Mei doesn't like too many uncontrollable factors in the palace ban.

She came from nothing to the queen's position, so she didn't want another character like her to appear in the Tang Palace.

Among the people fighting on three sides, the most powerful are the men in black, while the most agile are the group of men in white with two knives.

When they were fighting, they seemed to be dancing, with an indescribable sense of rhythm. If someone was singing or reciting poetry at this time, their performance would be even better.

Seeing the three men in black desperately rushing into the group of soldiers, they were obviously pierced by the spears of the soldiers, but their bodies exploded on the spears.

Yunchu closed the window, and after a few violent explosions, Yunchu saw several blood flowers appear on the window.

Opening the broken window again, Yunchu saw two men in white jumping over the flowers and bushes, waving their two knives and rushing towards Yunchu's direction.

They wore small black gauze hats on their heads, tied around their jaws with a black ribbon, and their white clothes fluttered like huge white butterflies when they jumped up.

Yun Chu couldn't help laughing, and said to himself, "It's really a bloody aristocratic feeling, even if you die, you want to pursue a good-looking Hua Langtu."
