Chapter 170 The abnormality of Liao’s secret envoy

"Am I handsome?"

Su Xian took two steps and turned back, looking at Yang Zhilan and asked.

Yang Zhilan's face was expressionless, and the two points of light in her eyes lit up. After brewing for a long time, she said:

"handsome!"

"I just like you who don't tell lies."

Su Xian smiled happily, turned around and squatted in front of a cabinet beside the bed, pulled out the drawer, grabbed a handful of granules wrapped in thick oil paper, and stuffed them into his pocket.

Then he stood up, threw a particle at Yang Zhilan with a smile, and said with a smile:
"Give you candy."

Yang Zhilan raised her hand, caught it accurately, and held it tightly in her hand.

This kind of granular object is actually candy.

Su Xian spent most of the day refining it by hand the day before yesterday.

The raw material is sugar cane, sent by Lin Chuan, Su Xian's friend and classmate.

It is said that sugar cane is extremely rare and can only be found in the south. The Liang Dynasty was located in the north and it was rare to see such sweet things.

The sugar cane sent by Lin Chuan was only a dozen.

Su Xian made more than [-] sweet candies out of the dozen or so sugar cane.

Yang Zhilan drank all the remaining sweet water...

When she thought of losing control of herself and drinking all of Su Xian's sweet water, she felt ashamed. As a killer, she felt ashamed to face others...

But... that sweet taste is really too... In short, Yang Zhilan, as a killer, couldn't even control herself.

Ashamed, she said: "I am willing to accept the punishment."

But Su Xian did not punish her. He looked at her for a long time and only said: "When I have the opportunity in the future, I will take you to the south and let you eat as much as you can!"

Su Xian's refusal to pursue the matter made her feel ashamed and deeply moved... So, she did not dare to look at the bedside table where the candies were stored, for fear that she would not be able to bear it...

But she accepted whatever Su Xian gave her.

In the palm of her hand, the candy wrapped in thick oil paper was almost deformed by her pinch...

Su Xian clapped his hands and walked towards the door while smiling:
"Let's go have breakfast."

"..."

Xiao Xian Zi's servants are already familiar with everything around them.

Cooking, cleaning, etc. are also easy to do. They also buy the food, vegetables, meat, etc. at home. Su Xian has not spent a penny.

But whenever there is a chance, Su Xian will stay at home to eat.

Xiaoxian Zi knows how to enjoy herself, and every meal she eats must be exquisite and delicious, comparable to a chef in a big restaurant.

Su Xian was very satisfied with this.

This kind of free prostitution life is really good...

study.

Just as Su Xian stepped into it, Xiaoxian Zi, who was sitting behind the dining table, suddenly exclaimed "Wow" with a smile on her face, and her eyes were shining when she looked at Su Xian.

Su Xian couldn't help but puff up his chest and slow down his walking movements.

He was about to ask "Am I handsome?" when Xiaoxian Zi had already exclaimed:
"The young master is standing tall and tall today, with a jade tree facing the wind. He can really charm thousands of girls to death!"

"..."

What a good eye... Su Xian was ecstatic inside, but very reserved on the outside. Under Xiao Xian Zi's radiant gaze, he walked to the dining table and sat down.

"Please have some candy." Su Xian took out a candy, spread it out in the palm of his hand and handed it over.

"Thank you sir."

Xiaoxian Zi's smile became brighter and she immediately took the candy.

The day before yesterday, when Su Xian was refining candies, Xiaoxian Zi disapproved because she was from the south and had a distinguished status, so she could easily eat sugar cane.

Can sugar cane be turned into candy?

She would never believe it no matter what...

But then Su Xian succeeded. In order to make her believe that sugar cane can really be turned into candy, Su Xian gave her one.

Xiaoxian Zi put it into her mouth, and she was immediately stunned.

This sweet taste is not comparable to eating sugar cane.

After finishing the candy, Xiaoxian Zi was still interested and asked for it, but Su Xian refused to give it...

She knew that this kind of candy was very rare. After taking it from Su Xian, she immediately peeled off the oil paper wrapped in it and said at the same time:

"Although the official uniform of the young master is good, it is not interesting after looking at it for a long time. If it were my official uniform of Nan Chen, it would be perfect on the young master."

"What did you say?"

Su Xian's smile froze and he frowned:
"Give me the candy!"

Xiao Xianzi twitched the corner of her mouth, speeding up the peeling of the paper, and immediately changed her words: "No, no, my family is wrong, the young master is handsome and handsome, he looks good in any clothes."

As soon as she finished speaking, she peeled out the candy and eagerly put it into the cherry mouth with bright lips.

The candy enters her mouth, the sweetness is released, and her whole body and mind feel happy...

Jian'er, Bi'er, and Yang Zhilan who were present all stared directly at Xiaoxian Zi's bright cherry mouth.

I really want to eat... Jian'er and Bi'er thought to themselves.

Yang Zhilan clenched her fists, and there was one in her fist. She decided to eat it later...

"That's all. For the sake of your repentance in time, I won't pursue the matter."

Su Xian waved his hand generously.

"Thank you, sir." Xiao Xianzi's words were a little unclear.

"..."

Soon, finish eating early.

While Su Xian luxuriously wiped his mouth with silk, he stood up and made a suggestion: "Today's breakfast is a bit bland, you still need to dip it in some oil and water."

Xiao Xian Zi twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking that you are eating and drinking for free and how dare you make suggestions?

What a big face.

But on the surface she was smiling, looking at Jian'er and Bi'er and saying:

"Did you hear what the young master said?"

"I heard."

Xiaoxian Zi nodded, looked at Su Xian with a smile and said:

"Sir, for the sake of my family being so thoughtful, can you tell me how to turn sugar cane into candy?"

"..."

In the past two days, Xiaoxian Zi has tried and lured her many times, trying to get the method of making candies from Su Xian.

Nanchen, located in the southeast of the land of Huaxia, extends from Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River to Lingdingyang in the south of the Lingnan Mountains, bordering on the wild land in the west of the Lingnan Mountains, which is rich in sugar cane.

If she wanted sugar cane, all she had to do was give the order.

If there is a way to make candy, then she will be able to eat candy every day in the future, and she can also make a lot of money...

Her ideas are good.

But Su Xian is not a fool.

"This is a secret passed down from ancestors. It is passed down from male to female." Su Xian hesitated and walked away.

"..."

Go down to the first floor.

After Yang Zhilan sent Su Xian out, she closed the door, quickly returned to Su Xian's bedroom, and then carefully took out the candy from her palm.

Peel off the oiled paper, and carefully put it into your mouth.

The sweet feeling spread wantonly in her mouth, and she experienced a deep sense of happiness...

Sugar is one of the essential nutrients for the body.

Ingesting sugar can stimulate the brain to secrete dopamine, which makes people feel happy.

For modern people, the supply of sugar exceeds demand, causing "sugar addiction" and the need to quit sugar.

But for the ancients who were short of supplies, sugar was obviously in short supply, and every source of sugar was precious.

Yang Zhilan, as the number one killer of the internal guards, from this aspect she is successful and has reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

But otherwise, she had really little experience.

Especially the experience of happiness and sweetness is really rare for her.

In the first half of her life, she experienced all the sufferings of the world. She lost her only child at a young age, and was subjected to rigorous training after entering the inner guard. Her body and spirit were irreversibly traumatized...

It's not like she has never encountered beautiful things in the world.

But she didn't want to catch it, she felt that she couldn't do it...

Later, after meeting Su Xian, the situation improved, but the effect was not too obvious. She was still taciturn, and there were few things that could arouse her emotions.

Until candy came along.

Ingesting sugar stimulates the brain to produce dopamine. This is a chemical reaction that cannot be controlled by humans, so this sweetness and happiness are "forced" to her.

She did feel that kind of happiness that she had rarely experienced in the first half of her life...

……

……

It is said that when Su Xian left Yingzhou City and rushed to the marching camp in the north of the city, he happened to catch up with Princess Lanling beating drums to gather the generals to discuss matters.

The subject of the discussion was still the issue of the hiding place for the [-] Liao troops.

Three full days passed.

Nothing is gained by letting things go.

No matter whether it was the people sent to the yamen of various states or counties or the people searching in the mountains and fields, no one could find any useful information.

It was as if there were no ten thousand Liao people hiding in the land of Daliang.

"Eh!"

Princess Lanling's face looked a little haggard, and she couldn't help but sigh.

The subordinate officials and generals below were silent, for fear that the princess would be angry.

However, Princess Lanling did not get angry this time. She only waved her hand and said:
"I am exhausted!"

"The lower official (final general) will retire."

"..."

Su Xian followed the crowd and walked out of the Chinese army's tent. His mood could not be said to be good or bad, he just held his breath.

The "Law of Confinement" he proposed was still not mentioned in this discussion, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten about it.

Su Xian didn't take the initiative to mention it. He was waiting. Now that three days have passed, the results must be coming soon, right?
He wanted to go to Nangong Kui to see the situation.

But Nangong Kui... Last time Su Xian explained to him how to implement the "Confinement Method", Su Xian didn't like this person very much.

"That's all, whether it's good or bad, there will be a result sooner or later. I'd better keep a low profile and stay dormant for now."

"..."

Su Xian shook his head and left the camp directly to return to the city.

the other side.

After the discussion was over, Consultation and Wenwen walked together towards their sleeping quarters.

"Three days have passed and there is still no movement. It seems that Xiaguan will definitely win this time!" The literary officer clenched his fists and looked happy.

"Ok?"

The consultant was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, he understood what he was talking about and suddenly said:
"If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot about it!"

"In the past two days, Na Su Xian made two great achievements in succession, and was appreciated by Her Royal Highness the Princess. First, he was awarded the title of Jinshi, and then he was given the official position of Xibu Jijiu."

"This person's reputation is unparalleled. Even I believe that he is about to soar into the sky. Even I need to look up to his existence."

"But who would have thought that in such a good situation, he would insist on killing himself and betting with you... Hehe, this is really self-inflicted!"

"Just wait, it will only take a few more days before we can drive him out of the princess' mansion!"

"..."

Soon, the two came to the living area of ​​the officials of the princess mansion.

The two said goodbye.

The literary officer returned to his tent.

He was in a happy mood, humming a ditty and making tea by himself.

After the tea was brewed, a subdued voice suddenly came from outside the tent, saying that he had something to see.

He heard the voice sound familiar, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that the person who came was a subordinate staff of the prison department, who was responsible for delivering meals to the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom in the dungeon.

If anyone can know the true situation of the Liao Kingdom's secret envoy, apart from Nangong Kui, the only one who knows is this subordinate.

Three days ago, the literary officer went to find Nangong Kui, but he couldn't tell anything...

Later, he had an idea, spent a lot of money to clear the way, and successfully established a line with this subordinate official.

The two agreed that if there was anything strange happening to the Liao envoy, the subordinate staff should report the situation to him immediately.

If everything is normal with the Liao envoy, you will see him in three days.

Today is exactly the third day.

Hey, as I expected, Su Xian's method really didn't work... The literary officer was even happier, and got up and invited the subordinates into the account.

The two greeted each other and took their seats.

The literary officer was in a good mood and poured a cup of tea for the subordinate himself and said with a smile:
"Don't be impatient yet, try the tea brewed by me myself."

"Alright..."

The subordinate took a sip of tea and then said:
"Something went wrong."

"Um...cough...cough..."

The literary officer was also drinking tea. He almost spit out the words, and after swallowing them, he coughed until his face turned red.

After a while, he recovered, stared at the subordinate seriously and asked:

"What's the situation? Didn't we agree to notify me immediately as soon as there is any situation?"

"Yes, we have relevant agreements...but I only discovered this situation this morning."

"That's all, tell me quickly, what happened?"

"This morning I went down to the dungeon to deliver food and found that the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom who had been quiet the past few days actually..."

"What?"

"There is something abnormal!"

"What an abnormality? It's not serious, right?"

"He was humming a tune in there."

"Humming a tune?" The literary officer breathed a huge sigh of relief. What kind of abnormality is humming a tune?He was humming a tune just now, so it's not a big deal.

"But it's not like he's humming."

"What do you mean?" The literary officer's heart was raised again, and he frowned and added: "Please make it clearer."

"He was humming the music in a roaring way, and that voice sounded very scary!"

"..."

The literary officer stood up and walked around the tent, frowning, and said to himself: "Humming music in a roaring way is not something ordinary people can do. Could it be that he really..."

After walking a few more steps, the literary officer stopped, looked at the subordinate staff and ordered:
"You go back and continue to observe. Come to me again after nightfall. I want to know the changes in the Liao Kingdom's secret envoy."

"it is good……"

The subordinate staff left quickly.

The literary officer looked solemn and had no intention of drinking tea. He said to himself: "Sure enough, something unusual happened to the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom... But fortunately, I made arrangements in advance, so the matter can still turn around."

As soon as he thought of this, his hanging heart slowly relaxed again.

He believed that this matter was perfect, and no matter what the Liao envoy did, he would win!
However, what neither he nor the subordinate knew was that someone had secretly watched their secret meeting in the tent.

The man had extraordinary skills and lay motionless on the roof of the tent. The two people inside didn't notice at all.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the literary officer to send the subordinate staff away, the man fell lightly to the ground.

If someone is waiting here, when they see this person, they will bow respectfully and say: "Three arrests!"
