Gong Xue has bandits

Chapter 80
The ice in the bamboo tube completely melted and turned into swaying clear water, the glimmer of light in the water was completely extinguished, and the autumn fireflies all withered. When Luo Qiuchi and Wen Renjun opened the bamboo tube, their expressions changed drastically, and they couldn't believe it: "What's going on? "

The duel on the field was about to officially begin. When they were checking the raw materials for the last time in the audience, they did not expect that such an unimaginable change would occur!

Wen Renjun's face turned pale in an instant, his hands were trembling with anxiety, Luo Qiuchi clenched the bamboo tube that was still warm, his eyes changed a few times, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, someone moved his hands and feet!"

Wen Renjun raised his head abruptly, Luo Qiu said with hesitation: "The side of this bamboo tube is still steaming, obviously someone poured hot water into it, otherwise the ice would never have melted so quickly!"

Wen Renjun's face turned even paler: "Yes, who is doing the sabotage? Boss, the competition is about to start. What should we do? What should we do?"

The flustered expression attracted the attention of the surroundings. Seeing that something was wrong, Ji Wenjing, Zhao Qinghe, and Sun Zuoyang gathered around together: "What's wrong? What happened?"

As soon as they saw the bamboo tube, they suddenly understood, Wen Renjun talked about the advantages and disadvantages, and Sun Zuoyang was the first to scold: "Who the hell did it?"

Sun Mengyin was also furious: "The intentions are really vicious at such a critical moment, so don't let me find out!"

Wen Renshu, who was holding her arm next to her, trembled and lowered her head in fear to hide her nervousness and fear.

Fu Yuan glanced at her from the corner of his eye, clenched his hands in his sleeves tightly, but pressed his thin lips together tightly. He didn't say anything, but walked up to her and said in a deep voice, "I don't have time to find out who did it right now. Now, the most urgent thing is to find a remedy."

He looked at Wen Renjun, and said calmly: "Ah Jun, do you have to use this ingredient in your challenge dishes? Is there any substitute? Now quickly send people into the palace and go to the imperial dining room to call other ingredients. The raw materials should still be available, is it possible?"

Wen Renjun shook his head, tears were on the verge of tears: "No, the autumn firefly grass is unique and irreplaceable. It is the treasure we have found through hard work. It is the key to winning today's duel. It must not be replaced. This ingredient is missing!"

Luo Qiuchi said: "Yes, Autumn Night Yingxin is the most important dish among the five challenge dishes. It is the ancestral dish of Master Zhaxingju Ji. It took us a lot of effort to get it. It can be said to be today's 'unique weapon. 'Oh, without these autumn fireflies, this dish cannot be made at all!"

This accident is almost a fatal blow, and the severity of the situation is beyond imagination!

Fu Yuanzhi's breath tightened, and he clenched his sleeves even harder. He looked at the anxious Wen Renjun, and almost couldn't help but blurt out the truth.

The competition between the two countries is imminent, under the eyes of everyone, but there is such a big mistake, and they will definitely be held accountable afterwards. The first to bear the brunt are Luo Qiuchi and Wen Renjun. Well, if Emperor Liang was in a fit of anger, he might even convict him. The matter is no small matter!

Fu Yuanzhi took a deep breath and stopped hesitating. When he took a step forward and was about to speak, a clear young voice suddenly sounded behind them: "Girl Ah Jun, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

It turned out to be Hang Ruxue who was at the banquet. He saw a group of them gathered together in a distance, and the atmosphere was abnormal. He keenly noticed something was wrong, so he got up and left the banquet to find out.

Wen Renjun held the bamboo tube tremblingly, and when he talked about the matter incoherently, Hang Ruxue's face changed suddenly: "How could this happen? Could it be that people from Fusang Kingdom did it?"

He has been fighting outside all year round, and all kinds of secret operations are emerging one after another around him. His first reaction is the work of "enemy countries".

Ji Wenjing stood among the crowd, frowned and shook his head, "No way, it's too obvious, they're not that stupid, besides, the students in Fusang Kingdom are all proud and arrogant, although I don't have much contact with them, but You can tell a thing or two from the inside, I'm afraid they would rather lose the game openly than do such a dirty thing."

Yuichi Sato, who competed with him in painting skills, was very arrogant and aloof as a man, and even when he lost the game, he thought that his skills were inferior to others.

At the moment, Hang Ruxue no longer pursued who did it, but looked at Wen Renjun, and said decisively: "Miss Ah Jun, where can I get this autumn firefly grass? How long will it take at the earliest?"

Wen Renjun stared at him and said straightly: "Only Yanshan has it. If you come and go for more than a hundred miles, even if you ride on the best horse in the palace, take a shortcut on the mountain road, and speed up the horse, it will probably take about three hours, and it will be too late. !"

"No, maybe it's too late." Hang Ruxue's eyes tightened, and he spoke meaningfully. He glanced at the surprised faces of everyone, and said word by word: "I have a bloody horse, which has been fighting with me for many years. The imperial horses are several times faster, and they are nicknamed "Thousand Miles of Lightning" in our camp, if you ride on them, half an hour is enough to go back and forth."

"Really?" Everyone's eyes lit up, excited, and at the same time seeing hope, Hang Ruxue nodded: "There are five dishes in total, you should do the first four first, to buy more time for picking autumn fireflies, As long as we drive to Yanshan immediately, and there are no accidents on the way, we should be in time!"

Wen Renjun grabbed Hang Ruxue as if he saw a life-saving straw: "That's great, General Hang, you are a great savior who fell from the sky!"

Hang Ruxue's face flushed slightly, and he coughed hurriedly: "It should be, it's about the honor and disgrace of Daliang, I can't just sit idly by... It's not too late, Miss Ajun, I'll give you a ride, let's go now, go Then Yanshan took the autumn firefly grass!"

Wen Renjun nodded hurriedly: "Okay!"

She looked at Luo Qiuchi: "Old... Brother Luo, you can cook the first four dishes first. General Hang and I will go get the autumn firefly grass. Wait for us to come back!"

Luo Qiuchi glanced at Hang Ruxue, and suddenly said: "General Hang, why don't I go with you to get that autumn firefly grass?"

Hang Ruxue had a cold handsome face, and said without thinking: "No, it's better for Miss Ah Jun to go. Two big men ride the same horse, and the increased load will definitely affect the speed. Time is limited, so you can't take risks." What do you think?"

"That's right, Junior Brother Luo, I don't have time to babble, I'd better go, we'll set off now!" Wen Renjun was in a hurry.

Luo Qiuchi looked at Hang Ruxue with fixed eyes, and finally raised his lips and smiled, as if he had seen through something.

He didn't say any more, he just turned his head and said to Wen Renjun: "Okay, then go quickly, be careful on the road, God will bless Daliang, we have worked hard for so long, our hard work will definitely not be in vain!"

The jade bell on the stage has rung, and the duel has begun. Actions are urgent, success or failure depends on one action!
The steeds roared, the wind blew on the mountain road, Wen Renjun and Hang Ruxue rode the same horse, with several bamboo tubes in their arms, their hearts beat faster than ever.

The ice cubes were quickly transported from the ice cellar of the imperial palace, and they were filled with three bamboo tubes. As soon as the autumn fireflies were picked, they would be immediately put into the bamboo tubes and frozen to keep the twilight alive.

Wen Renjun stared ahead, her slender body was wrapped in her arms by Hang Ruxue, and the wind on the mountain path stirred up her long hair, she couldn't help muttering: "It's in time, it must be in time..."

On the other side of the competition field, Luo Qiuchi was the head chef, and the rest of the people surrounded him, fighting for him.

Only Wen Renshu said that she was unwell, so she left the stage early and sat on a side table to rest.

Fu Yuanzhi looked at her figure and went away, sneering in his heart, but he didn't say a word in the end, he only arranged for everyone to divide their work and work together in an orderly manner.

On the court, everyone was busy and tried their best to fight back for Daliang.

Luo Qiuchi raised his head and glanced at Fusang Kingdom across the way. They had already completed two dishes for the challenge. The dishes looked shining in the sun and were extremely delicate. One of the best strengths!
The invisible pressure pressed on Luo Qiuchi, he took a deep breath, and secretly said in his heart: "Little monkey, you must come back in time..."

The autumn wind swept across the sky, riding horses and whips all the way, galloping without stopping, Hang Ruxue and Wen Renjun finally arrived at Mount Yan.

"That's it. The autumn fireflies grow on this rock wall. General Hang, look!"

Wen Renjun rushed forward with a bamboo tube in his arms, and his dress was blown up by the wind, but before she could get excited, she suddenly discovered something, the smile on her mouth froze, like a basin of cold water being poured on her head: "It's over, we I forgot one thing, it's daylight now, I can't see the light from the autumn firefly at all..."

The vines on the rock wall are disordered and densely packed. The autumn firefly grass grows together with other weeds. If there is no special dim light to guide them, it is extremely difficult to distinguish them for a while.

"What should I do? I need a lot of autumn fireflies for cooking. If I search for them one by one like now, there will be no time at all..."

Wen Renjun was so anxious that sweat dripped from his forehead, and he started talking nonsense: "It would be great if it was completely dark now, so I can see where the autumn firefly grass is at a glance, and I don't have to spend so long looking for it." ..."

Under the sky, her hand holding the bamboo tube was trembling, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Hang Ruxue beside her had an idea: "Miss Ajun, I have a plan!"

While speaking, he took off the black cloak on his body, shook his hands, and covered himself and Wen Renjun in front of the rock wall. Suddenly, a "firefly" appeared in front of their eyes, like a dream.

Hang Ruxue smiled softly: "Look, isn't it 'dark'?"

Wen Renjun's eyes widened, looking at the shimmering autumn fireflies in front of him, his breath trembled, and he was overjoyed: "Yes, General Hang, you are so smart!"

Hang Ruxue smiled shyly: "Take it off quickly, I'm holding up this cloak so that no sunlight from outside will come in!"

In front of the rock wall, he covered the cloak tightly, supporting a piece of "sky" for her.

As the fluorescent lights flickered, the two of them were close to each other. Wen Renjun threw himself on the autumn firefly grass and picked it eagerly, but he didn't notice the long and deep gaze that was close at hand.

The wind blows across the four fields, and the small world is like a midsummer time, when the fireflies are flying, falling into a dream together.

On the competition field, the fifth course of Fusang Kingdom was coming to an end, but Luo Qiuchi hadn't started to make it yet. A group of people stood on the stage as if they were waiting for something, stretching their necks and looking around, all of them were anxious. The civil and military officials under him didn't know why, so they whispered to each other in doubt.

On the chief, Emperor Liang's complexion became more and more ugly, Qian Lan Tianjun next to him was sitting under the canopy of Huang Luo, looking at this scene through the light veil, his amber eyes were also full of confusion.

In an increasingly delicate atmosphere, two figures galloped towards them, and the girl's excited voice resounded through the sky——

"Autumn Yingcao is back!"
