There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 923
Su Xian was unmoved.

Focus on grilling your own meat skewers.

After a while, a strange fragrance spread like an explosion, blowing in all directions with the wind, covering everyone.

Zhou Wei's mouth was watering. If Su Xian hadn't forbidden it, he would have started eating secretly.

Although Yang Zhilan had no expression on her face, she quickly moved the mutton skewers on the bamboo sticks with her hands, but she also looked at the meat skewers on the grill from time to time, with a faint light in her eyes.

The maids and servants who helped with the cooking kept swallowing their saliva, looking eagerly at the sizzling grill, they were really greedy.

Yang Ruoxian had been on Su Xian's side from the beginning, and she was relatively close. The rich, appetizing aroma had a huge impact on her.

It made her look sideways frequently and secretly make her salivate.

Farther away, three feet away from the grill, were the group of wealthy ladies holding lambs in their arms, and the young men who were on the same side as them.

At the beginning, their "united front" was very strong, and they all severely denounced Su Zhe, the executioner who killed the sheep.

Sheep and sheep are so cute and innocent, but Su Zhe slaughtered them to eat their meat. It was so cruel and made their teeth itch with hatred.

However, as that strange fragrance hit his nostrils, the loud condemnation actually weakened.

"It smells so good!"

Luo Li inhaled her nose. The rich aroma of meat made her mouth water. Her big eyes, as bright as black gems, couldn't help but look at the grill with strong charcoal fire.

"This fragrance...I have never smelled it before!"

The other girl looked shocked, looking longingly at the grill in the distance, her pursed lips moving slightly.

The other girls also stopped criticizing Su Zhe and looked at him eagerly. Some of the greedy girls took out their handkerchiefs and secretly wiped their saliva.

When the young master saw this, he suddenly felt bad.

It is true that the aroma is indeed unique, and their mouths water, but... that is mutton!

That was the meat roasted by the executioner Su Zhe himself after slaughtering the sheep!

You must not be fooled by Su Zhe!
Want to seduce and separate them with delicious food?
Impossible, they will never be fooled!
Seeing that the rich ladies all had eager expressions and even forgot to denounce the great executioner Su Zhe, someone stepped forward and raised their arms and shouted:
"Su Zhe, you are really cruel. Not only did you kill the sheep, but you also roasted other people's meat so attractively..."

"We will never give in, we will never eat your barbecue, we will continue to denounce your evil deeds, and we will make you pay a heavy price!"

The last sentence he said was to the group of wealthy ladies.

The girls secretly wiped their saliva and said casually: "Yes, you are right..."

When the young masters heard this, they felt a little relieved. As long as they could stand on the same front with them and face the same enemy, they could continue to draw closer to each other.

In this way, what kind of marriage can't be found?
However, they were a little relieved and soon discovered that although the group of girls said "right", they were still looking at Su Zhe's grill eagerly, and they all looked very greedy.

not good!

To suffer!

How could this be?
They were all dumbfounded.

Could it be that the unified front that was finally formed is about to collapse?

They finally waited for such an opportunity. Could it be that they were about to be defeated by Su Zhe using despicable tricks?
"good to eat!"

At this time, the meat skewers were already grilled. Su Xian picked up one skewer first. After tasting it, he praised it at the top of his lungs. His voice could be heard within a ten-foot radius.

"It smells so good...hiss, so hot..."

Zhou Wei couldn't wait any longer. He picked up a bunch with his left hand and another with his right hand. He opened his bow from left to right. Because he ate too fast and too hard, it was so hot that he grinned and inhaled.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Zhilan, the maidservant and the young man who helped him, as well as Yang Ruoxian, etc., all ignored their reservations and started tasting.

Near the scarlet charcoal grill, there were endless compliments of "delicious", "so fragrant", and "delicious in the world". Everyone's face was filled with smiles of joy, happiness and satisfaction.

far away.

The group of wealthy ladies watched eagerly.

They smelled the delicious aroma in their noses, listened to other people's praises in their ears, and looked at the strings of golden and shiny meat skewers... They were really greedy.

They really want to rush over and join the army of eating meat skewers.

However, they were embarrassed because of the matter just now.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer meat skewers on the grill, their hearts were in their throats. They were anxious and worried, which made them have mixed emotions.

As for those young men, even though they didn't want to believe it, they knew very well that their united front was about to collapse and Su Zhe's tricks were about to succeed.

But what can be done?

They cannot influence the minds of girls.

In desperation, they couldn't even think of a way to fight back, so they could only watch from the sidelines...

"Hey."

Su Xian gnawed on the meat skewers, turned to look at the group of girls, and shouted:
"Stop pretending, come and eat too, otherwise they will rob you all."

Su Xian's words were like a sharp arrow piercing the hearts of the girls, and like stepping on a cat's tail. They were proud, so how could they admit that they were greedy?
A young girl came out angrily and responded loudly:
"Who pretended?! We won't go there. You can eat as much as you like. What does it matter to us if you eat it all?"

"that is!"

"Self-motivated!"

The girls were wiping their saliva while retorting to Su Xian, but their eager eyes, staring straight at the grill, had already given them away. They were just stubborn ducks with tough mouths.

Su Xian smiled, ignored it, turned around and joined the army snatching the skewers... Soon, the skewers grilled for the first time were swept away.

In the distance, the eager-eyed girls felt pity in their hearts, secretly hating that they should have gone there just now, why were they so stubborn, eh... so they didn't have anything to eat.

"Keep baking!"

Su Xian wiped his mouth, turned his head and looked at the group of girls meaningfully, and then ordered everyone to start skewering the meat and grilling the barbecue. The division of labor was clear.

Of course he didn't take action.

Yang Ruoxian didn't take action either.

The two of them stood side by side, looking at the busy people. From a distance, they saw that the man and the woman were a perfect match.

"At first, I only thought that Mr. Su was talented and ambitious, but I didn't expect Mr. Su to be so knowledgeable and talented that he could bake such delicious meat skewers..."

Yang Ruoxian turned his head and looked up at Su Xian.

He had always been aloof and cold, but now he had a look of admiration on his face, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

In the distance, when the group of young men saw this, the jealousy and anger in their hearts rose to another level.

Unsurprisingly, Yang Ruoxian is the top among all the girls today. Her admiration for Su Zhe is really difficult for them, who are arrogant and arrogant, to accept it.

What's even more irritating is that Su Zhe doesn't know what's good and what's good. He has an indifferent look on his face. He doesn't even look at Miss Yang and replies perfunctorily: "It's okay."

However, Miss Yang was not angry and even took the initiative to talk...

This makes them lose their temper.

No matter how angry or jealous they were, they couldn't let it out. They were holding it in until their faces turned green.

Soon, another batch of kebabs were freshly baked, with a fragrant aroma and a bright golden color. Everyone was excited, but this time they were much more polite.

The group of girls in the distance had their eyes wide open. One of them, a slightly younger woman, couldn't help but move towards Su Xian.

Fortunately, someone was smart enough to catch her quickly, otherwise all of them would be embarrassed.

"Hey."

Su Xian greeted them again, gnawed on meat skewers and shouted:

"Hurry up and eat. It tastes delicious. It's golden and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. It has an attractive taste. It's a rare delicacy. If you miss it, you won't have it."

The girls were "unmoved," but no one spoke to them either.

They are afraid that once they speak, they will make a sound of drooling.

Su Xian lowered his eyes and glanced at the little lambs they were holding in their arms. He grinned and said meaningfully: "Miss Yang bought these goats for 500 taels and gave them to me. You..."

After hearing this, the expressions of the girls suddenly changed.

What do you mean?
Su Zhe didn't kill the older goats, but also slaughtered their lambs?

In unison, they all hugged their lambs a little tighter. The lambs seemed to feel a murderous aura and no longer dared to make any noise, and lay quietly in the arms of each girl.

"We can pay to buy these lambs!" a girl shouted loudly.

"Oh?" Su Xian smiled and said, "Then how much silver do you plan to pay?"

"One...100 taels for one!"

Su Xian smiled and shook his head.

The girls thought he was not satisfied, so they increased the price, but they increased the price all the way to 1000 taels each, and Su Xian still shook his head!

"Let me tell you clearly, if I don't buy my batch of lambs, I won't buy one for 1 taels!" Su Xian said loudly.

"You...you are so cruel!" The girls' eyes suddenly turned red with grievance, fearing that the cute little lamb would be killed and eaten by Su Zhe.

Su Xian felt happy in his heart, an innocent girl, it’s just fun.

However, he also knew how to accept it as soon as it was good, only to change the subject and said seriously: "You all want my little lamb? It's not impossible."

"What did you say?" The girls were puzzled.

"You only need to agree to a small condition, and I will give you the lamb without a single coin." Su Xian smiled.

When the girls heard this, their expressions were a little moved.

The little lambs were so cute and pitiful. If they could save their lives, they would do anything.

"I can't agree to Su Zhe!"

The young men on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so they stepped forward and stopped in front of the girls. In their eyes, Su Xian was threatening.

Using the lamb's life to force the girls to do anything for him.

They often used this despicable method, so they saw through Su Zhe's tricks immediately.

Su Xian ignored these hormonal young men, looked at the girls and said:

"Don't worry, my conditions are very simple. You just need to come over to this grill and eat barbecue with us. There are no other requirements!"

"This……"

The girls were dubious, but they were all a little moved.

What they prefer is only cute little lambs, not grown-up, dirty and unattractive goats. Besides, they are indeed greedy and uncomfortable.

"I'll count to three. If you don't come over to eat meat, I'll take back the conditions I just made, and I'll kill the lamb you're holding and make it into kebabs and eat it!"

"one!"

Su Xian kept a straight face and threatened.

"No, we just promise you."

The girls unanimously held their own lambs, bypassed the young master who was blocking them in front, ran quickly to Su Xian, and started eating impatiently but reservedly.

When the delicious meat skewers entered their mouths, the girls all squinted their eyes with intoxicated expressions on their faces. After that, they no longer had any reserve, and they grabbed it harder than anyone else.

Seeing this, Su Xian smiled with satisfaction.

Then he turned around and glanced at the young master standing there like a stone statue in the distance.

There was a triumphant smile in his eyes.

Then he ignored them and dived into the crowd of girls to grab the meat skewers.

The young masters couldn't express their feelings. They watched the "United Front" collapse and watched Su Zhe dominate all the girls again. The anger and jealousy in their hearts rose to an unprecedented level.

However, the abominable fragrance lasted for a long time, making their mouths water, making them angry and very ashamed.

……

Dwarf mountain top.

gazebo.

The Emperor of Chu and a group of civil and military officials were looking far into the distance from the pavilion, bathing in the sweet spring breeze.

There is a set of stone tables and chairs in the pavilion. Emperor Chu and the Queen sit on it, while the rest of the people can only stand.

On the stone table, there were many palace pastries, as well as some dried fruits and tea.

"Your Majesty hasn't had breakfast either, so he must be hungry already, so he might as well eat some pastries to cushion his stomach." The queen personally picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu tilted his body to the side, shook his head and said, "I have no appetite."

The queen had no choice but to put down the cake, a hint of worry gradually appeared on her face.

When the civil and military officials around them saw this, the conversation and laughter they had just been having suddenly stopped. Although everyone had different thoughts, most of them had worried faces.

It is obvious to all that Emperor Chu is weak. Now Emperor Chu has no appetite for breakfast, which is not a good sign.

The ministers did not dare to say anything, and the atmosphere on the top of the mountain seemed to be in a quagmire.

Just at this time, a ray of cool wind blew from the south side of the hill, mixed with a tempting fragrance, all the ministers smelled it, and the emperor and queen also smelled it.

This fragrance is very special, which makes people feel greedy. Some of the ministers can't control it, and their stomachs make a "gurgling" sound.

After the queen smelled the fragrance, she suddenly felt hungry. As the queen of Nanchu, what delicacies from the mountains and seas had not been eaten by her?There were very few things that could make her hungry just by their smell.

Suddenly, the queen's eyes lit up and she turned her head to look at Emperor Chu.

Although Emperor Chu's expression remained normal, she still noticed the slight movement of Emperor Chu's Adam's apple at a close distance.

"What scent is this?"

The queen's expression changed and she hurriedly asked her left and right.

"Replying to the Queen, I don't know, but this fragrance is coming from the south hillside. You should be able to understand if you send someone to take a look." A palace maid replied.

"Go quickly."

"Follow Yi's orders."

The palace maid took a few eunuchs and palace guards and hurried to the south hillside.

Emperor Chu didn't show any expression to the Queen's instructions. He only looked up at the mountains and rivers in the distance, looking uninterested, but in fact, his Adam's apple moved slightly again.
