Dressed as the regent's palm

Chapter 273 What is a Lost Friend?
The gardener scratched his head in embarrassment, "I remember..."

"Then what's the matter with these clear soups and lack of water?" Qing Yange pointed to the five dishes and one soup in front of him. Although the five dishes are all meat dishes, they look ordinary, just a few home-cooked dishes, and the appearance is very ugly. , not even comparable to the vegetarian dishes served in the General's Mansion.

"This is because of the war in Hefeng City, the roads for transporting food materials have been cut off, so many restaurants do not sell meat dishes, and they are all vegetarian. I finally found such a restaurant that does meat, but I don't want them to do it. The dishes look like this." The gardener said hesitantly.

Qingyange frowned even more when she heard the gardener's words, "Okay, you go down first."

"The 100 taels of silver..." the gardener hesitated to speak.

"Give me the money." Qing Yange cast a look at the Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom.

The Empress of Nanzhao Kingdom reluctantly took out the money.

"This was bought for more than 100 taels of silver, you have to eat it all for me!" The Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom said with a little distress.

The Queen of Nanzhao picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of roast duck tentatively.

She passed the roast duck between her nose and sniffed it lightly, without any problem.

Although I can't smell the aroma that tantalizes my appetite, I don't think it's too bad to eat.

The Empress of Nanzhao Kingdom mustered up her courage, opened Yin Tao's small mouth slightly, and took a sip or two.

In the next second, her face changed suddenly, and she retched, "Bah, bah, what is this?! It's so unpalatable! Don't be a cook with this kind of skill, it's really a waste of food!"

The Empress of Nanzhao Kingdom put down the long chopsticks in her hands in a panic, and there was traces of displeasure in her eyes.

She raised her eyes to look in the direction of Qingyange, and slightly lifted her thin lips, "Qingyange, you should stop eating these things, I don't blame you if you don't eat them."

Qingyange sat on the seat, motionless.

She didn't eat the strawberries in her hand, her beautiful black eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was an inexplicable emotion all over her body.

The Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Qing Yange's eyes, "What's wrong with you?"

Qing Yange's eyes flashed slightly, and finally came back to her senses, "I'm just confused about one thing."

"What's the matter?" The Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom blinked her eyes and asked aloud.

"I remember that I burned Dayong's food and grass a few days ago, and the Tiancang slammed Dayong's elephant army the next day. Under this double blow, why did Dayong take so long to come back?" Retreat?" Qing Yange was puzzled.

It was clear that the fire burned down the entire Dayong granary, even if they could salvage some food, it would not exceed the food for the entire camp for three days at most.

How can the soldiers of Dayong persist until now without food as support?

After hearing Qing Yange's words, the Empress of Nanzhao Kingdom felt a little embarrassed on her face.

Seeing that the empress of Nanzhao Kingdom looked wrong, Qingyange asked aloud, "What's wrong with you?"

The Empress of Nanzhao Kingdom got up immediately, and said in a panic: "I see it's getting late, and I'm suddenly a little tired, so go back to the bamboo forest and sleep."

After the words fell, the Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom planned to run away.

Qing Yange grabbed the Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom's sleeve directly, and pulled her back to her position. Qing Yange raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly, and said with a bit of threat: "Could it be that Dayong's not retreating has something to do with you?"

The queen of Nanzhao wanted to pull her sleeve back, but found that no matter how hard she tried, the sleeve was still in Qingyange's little hand, she pretended to be angry and said: "Qingyange, you are the holy man of collision! Body, disrespectful before driving, if you are in my Nanzhao Palace, you will be punished!"

Qing Yange smiled skinny, with a bit of inquiry in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were curved, "You gave the food and grass to Dayong?"

There is another city not far from Hefeng City, which is the border of Nanzhao Kingdom and also the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom.

If Nanzhao Kingdom wants to borrow food, it can instantly relieve Dayong's urgent need.

The Queen of Nanzhao's complexion froze slightly, and seeing Qing Yange's face that was about to storm, she quickly smiled like a flower, and said flatteringly: "Oh, actually... this food and grass is not a gift from me to Dayong, but from me. It's been sold! Do you know that I sold a kilogram of grain and grass for a sky-high price, which ushered in a new income for our Nanzhao Kingdom!"

Qing Yange's eyes turned cold, she let go of the Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom's sleeve, and the corner of her mouth curled up, "Okay, it's very good."

The Empress of Nanzhao Kingdom saw that Qing Yange's face turned cold, and she flattered her: "I... I was imprisoned in the bamboo forest during that time, and I heard the news of your return, but I haven't seen you come to solve my predicament for a long time. , and Dayong paid a sky-high price to buy grain and grass from Nanzhao Kingdom, so I was so angry that people sold the grain and grass directly."

"...Aren't you trapped in the bamboo forest? How to guide the country?" Qing Yange asked.

"My dark guard and I have a unique way of contacting each other. We... have a mouse to secretly send letters between me and him." The Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom hesitated for a moment, but still confessed the whole thing.

???

mouse?

A trace of surprise flashed across Qing Yange's eyes, and she stared at the Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom suspiciously.

The Queen of Nanzhao put her fingers together, raised three fingers to the sky, and shouted: "I swear, I never fooled you."

"With such a unique method, it's no wonder that none of Jiuque's hidden guards have discovered it." Qing Yange felt it was absurd and ridiculous.

"Qingyange, don't be angry~" the Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom said flatteringly.

Qing Yange said in a cold voice: "Your actions have directly squandered my efforts to burn Dayong's granary at the risk of making a statement. Why am I not angry?"

The Empress of Nanzhao Kingdom was pitiful, her face full of grievances, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have acted like this just because I was angry with you, what's more, I didn't know that you burned the grain and grass, I thought Dayong wanted to hoard grain... ..."

"Do you think I'm stupid or you are stupid? Why is Dayong hoarding food outside my Hefeng City? Is it for a long-term stay? Huh?" Qing Yange smiled angrily, looking at the face of the Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom. full of doubts.

The queen of Nanzhao lowered her head, and I said pitifully, "I'm sorry...it's my fault, I'm stupid."

Qing Yange closed her eyes, and said wearily: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't ask Jiu Que to release you. If you let him know that selling grain and grass is what you did, he will definitely not forgive you."

The Queen of Nanzhao stretched out her small hand, and gently shook Qing Yange's sleeve, "Why don't I give you half of the money from selling grain?"

Qingyange was unmoved.

"Qingyange, don't be angry~ How can I forgive you?" The empress of Nanzhao Kingdom's extremely seductive face is much more difficult to please.

Qing Yange rubbed her painful temples, her thin lips slightly lifted, "Please don't appear in front of me for the time being."

The empress of Nanzhao Kingdom drooped her face, "But I fell in love with you at first sight..."

"If you really regard me as a friend, you shouldn't sell food and grass to Dayong." Qingyange said very angrily.

"Then I got angry at that time..."

"..."

"Qingyange, why don't we send troops to support Tiancang?" The Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom suddenly suggested.
