The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 400 The seventh prince is gone

Seeing the short man lying seriously, Bai Zhi couldn't help but smile in her heart: He is quite smart and knows how to test poisons. This guy is really suitable to be a follower. He is smart but has a smart mouth. He is a live treasure and can make people happy. .

After the short man picked up the silver chopsticks and tasted the dishes one by one, he assured everyone that they were not poisonous and they could eat with confidence.

Bai Zhi pretended not to see it, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth, chewing slowly.

She felt that it was impossible for the old chef to poison the food.

Even if the food is poisoned, it is the kind that they cannot detect.

The only response is to remain unchanged in the face of change.

After the meal, the old chef called the waiter in the shop: "Why hasn't the Maxima been brought?"

The waiter looked embarrassed: "Grandpa, the commander of the post station said that the imperial court is requisitioning the Chollima horses to fight the Yan Kingdom. Now the post station has no Chollima horses. The deputy commander who went out to buy the Chollima horses has not come back yet."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi was secretly surprised. Daxia is going to war with Yan?The imperial court also requisitioned horses from the inn?
How can this be?

When they left the capital, the Seventh Prince of Yan Kingdom lived in the station in the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom. How could there be a war between the two countries?

Moreover, they did not receive any similar news before setting off for Penglai. It can be said that there was no warning.

Has the relationship between the two countries changed in the past few days?
"Old God of Cooking, we haven't fought Yan Guo for many years, how can we fight well?"

Linglong couldn't help but ask. He was the person close to the third prince, so naturally he knew the affairs of the two countries best.

The old God of Cooking shook his head, with a sad expression on his face: "I don't know the details, I just listened to what Sun Er said. The Seventh Prince died suddenly while he was on a mission in our Great Xia Kingdom. The murderer, either break into the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom and destroy our Great Xia Kingdom."

"What? The Seventh Prince is dead? This is impossible!" Linglong cried out in shock after hearing this.

Bai Zhi also thought so, but she didn't show any signs, with a calm expression on her face, as if it had nothing to do with her at all.

"Then I don't know. I, Sun Er, said that's what the commander of the post station said."

The old Chef God shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Although the prince of Yan died, it is a human life after all, alas."

Linglong shook her head, she couldn't believe it was true.

He had a hunch that this was definitely aimed at Bai Zhi and the others.

Subconsciously, he looked at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi smiled calmly: "It may not be possible, what are you worried about? The seventh prince of Yan Kingdom is dead. If it was someone from Daxia Kingdom who did it, I believe that the emperor will uphold justice for the seventh prince. If not, then his life span is like this, There is no one to blame. The Emperor of Yan impulsively invaded Daxia. We Daxia must not be vegetarians either. We ordinary people should not worry about that."

As she spoke, she glanced at everyone seemingly inadvertently.

Grandpa Bai, Prince Bai and Shen Changyan all looked calm.

And the tall and short people are just surprised, after all, they are really ordinary people, and they don't have much enthusiasm for this.

On the contrary, the middle-aged man had an intriguing expression, a little at a loss, as if he didn't know how to express himself.

The old cooking god said with a smile: "Yes, that's right, the girl is right. It can be seen that you have obtained the true inheritance of your master, Xianyun Yehe, and has an indifferent nature. This is the highest state of a person's dealings."

Bai Zhi smiled modestly and said: "The old kitchen god is ridiculous. Since there is no thousand-mile horse, we can only continue on our way on foot. In order to go back and settle family matters as soon as possible, we said goodbye."

With that said, Bai Zhi stood up.

Shen Changyan and others also stood up and prepared to leave.

The old God of Cooking was very reluctant and sighed: "Forget it, since you have decided to go, the little old man can only send you off respectfully."

With that said, he sent everyone out of the restaurant and straight out of the town, then reluctantly waved goodbye.

The short man said to himself as he walked: "This old chef is not a bad person, right? Are we too nervous?"

Linglong sneered from the side: "It's easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. What I'm most afraid of is this kind of old fox. You don't know how to take advantage of it."

The short man thought it made sense, and nodded: "You're right, people's hearts are like a belly."

Since his identity was exposed, the half-children rarely spoke, and always followed the team silently, never expressing his opinion.

Bai Zhi asked aloud: "Little Taoist, you are going home. Where is your home? Are you coming with us? After leaving this town, there is a fork in the road not far ahead."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man hesitated for a long time and replied: "I'd better go with Madam, I'm afraid that if I go back, my family will be hurt."

When the short man heard this, he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I knew you would come with us."

Bai Zhi glared at him, and he immediately shrank his neck, covered his mouth and stopped talking.

"Xiao Daotong, you have to think about it. Going with us is a road of no return. You have heard the threat of Taoist against the sky on the shore of the Dead Sea. He will not let it go. If you go home, at least you will not If Chi Yu is harmed, he will never go out to seek revenge on you because of you, he will not do the same thing."

The half-child pondered for a while, but still made a decisive decision: "Madam, I will go with you. You saved me, and my life is yours. Naturally, we must share joys and sorrows."

Seeing that he spoke resolutely, Bai Zhi stopped talking, sighed and shook her head, and said nothing more.

The group of people soon arrived at the inn mentioned by the old chef.

Shen Changyan said aloud: "There is indeed a post here, let's go in and have a look."

Everyone had no objection and entered the station.

"Who are you to trespass on the important place of the station!" A group of station soldiers rushed out from the yard.

Shen Changyan's face was as heavy as water, and he raised his voice and said, "Don't care who we are, call your station commander out quickly."

The team leader seemed to be very domineering and had a noble and cold aura, so he didn't dare to neglect him and immediately responded.

"Wait a minute, I'll go in and report."

Soon the team leader invited the station commander out.

"Who is looking for me, Commander? What's the important matter?"

The commander was a middle-aged man, and asked unhurriedly, squinting his eyes.

Bai Zhi smiled coldly at the side: "Shen Shizi is here, why don't you quickly kneel down and worship?"

Hearing this, the head of the post station was so frightened that his legs gave way, and he knelt down on the ground.

But then he felt something was wrong, and asked tentatively, "Yes, what evidence do you have?"

Bai Zhi smiled coldly: "Even if there is any certificate, can you recognize it? There is a certificate, so it's okay to show him."

Shen Changyan then showed the station commander his token allowing Prince Shen to enter and leave the palace freely.

The station commander was now convinced and kowtowed to apologize: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was blind and didn't know that my Majesty was coming..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Zhi: "Get up, don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and take us into the house."
