Chapter 143 Evergreen docks

Hearing her aunt say that she would protect Li Xianchen during her recovery, Zhan Yuan couldn't help but say, "Aunt, you are so kind."

Gou Yue lay down on the bed she made, "It's not bad."

"You helped me and also agreed to save him. No wonder His Majesty always said that you are the kindest person in the world."

She closed her eyes and said, "Really? He was tortured very badly by me when he was a child."

"Really?" She lay beside the bed curiously. She didn't expect Yuanyi to have such a past, "What's going on?"

"It's been so long, do you really want to know?" She propped up her elbows, looking a little tired.

"When he was a child, he was often bullied by his brothers in the palace. In order to train him, I fought back and beat him terribly. Even then, he told me that he should be kind to his brothers and sisters."

Zhan Yuan said, "But I feel that your Majesty is actually scary sometimes. I didn't notice it before in Beichu. When I arrived in Liangzhu, he slowly became more and more..."

"Getting less accessible?"

"Ah."

"The emperor's throne is soaked in blood. Since he chose this path, it must be difficult. It's normal for you to think that he is difficult to approach. He was silent back then - that's all. What are you talking about? It's cold at high places."

She thought of something and approached Zhanyuan and said, "If Yuanyi sends someone to look for you in the north and asks you to return to Liangzhu one day, will you be willing?"

"Why...why did he ask me to go back to Liangzhu?"

"You don't have to pretend to me. You should know that he has you in his heart. However, it seems that you don't have deep feelings, so you can still abandon him and you are not deceived."

Zhan Yuan paused for a moment, "Auntie, I... I feel that I have never been ashamed of him. He protected me in many ways before. I saved him with my life on the grassland, which was considered repaying the favor, so the two of us do not know each other. No. If you have to ask me if I have him in my heart, I think about it carefully. For so many years, I have never had any other man besides Your Majesty. I seem to have been used to him for a long time. But aunt, I think it is better than any other man. Come on, I am more important, so I will definitely not enter the harem, and I don’t want to stay with him anymore, can you understand me?"

Gou Yue let out a long sigh, "If you can't figure it out, I'm afraid I'll give you the title of concubine after I become the queen."

She hesitated, "Auntie, do you think it was right for me to leave him? Will I ever meet someone like him again?"

She patted her shoulder, "You may not meet someone like him, but you might meet someone better than him or someone worse than him. You are still young. The road ahead will be long and no one can say for sure. Just go take care of your tribe, wouldn’t it be nice to have countless cattle, sheep, and herdsmen following you?”

In the cabin next door, Li Xianchen was putting his ear against the wall to listen, but Gong Bucheng pulled him back, "When did you learn to listen to the corner of the wall?"

"Shh, I can't hear you." He pushed him away.

"Your internal strength isn't that bad, isn't it? You can't even hear the sounds nearby, so why bother leaning against the wall?"

"What do you know? What I want is to hear it completely, without missing a word."

"Okay, okay, okay, you can listen to the girl's private opinions as much as you like."

"Don't say you didn't listen. You were sitting there motionless just now. Were you meditating?"

Gong Bucheng silently opened the quilt and lay down in it.

Seeing that he was motionless with his eyes closed, Li Xianchen walked over and asked, "Did you hear that little girl say she was unhappy because she had someone else in her heart?"

Gong Bucheng said, "No, I'm sleepy."

"Actually, it's not like there's no chance."

Gong Bucheng sat up immediately, "Do you have any idea?"

"Fortunately, you are seven or eight years younger than me. If you were the same age as me, I guess her aunt could eat you."

"Don't you know that one of the martial arts practiced by your Kongshan sect is Zhu Yan? You can't tell that you are in your thirties. When we walked out, others thought you were only three or four years older than me."

"I like hearing this." He turned over and found a chair to sit down. "How about I analyze it for you?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Isn't Miss Zhanyuan going back to Beichu? Then you can use the excuse that you have never been to the North and want to see the scenery of the North. If she feels embarrassed and rejects you, then you will have no chance, but if She welcomes you to come with her, and there is room for change."

Li Xianchen's words suddenly enlightened him, "Yes, in this way, we don't have to tell each other, and we can save some face for each other."

Li Xianchen was a little confused, "The Gong family is considered a local emperor in the Nanling area. What kind of woman have you never seen? I don't understand why you fall in love with her? Could it be that her damaged profile reminds you of your childhood?" you?"

When Gong Bucheng was a child, he was chased by a group of dogs, which later left a deep wound on his face. At that time, Yu Zhouzi passed by Nanling and happened to heal his injury. It was also at that time that Li Xianchen became friends with him.

"It was because of this in the beginning. She wore a mask, just like I wore a mask when I was a child. After I was bitten by a wolf dog, my whole face was ruined. Even my mother was terrified when she saw it. Later, the wound rotted. If it hadn't been for Master Save me, I am afraid that I will have to live in the night for the rest of my life, afraid to come out in the daytime. However, I saw that although Zhanyuan was in the same situation as me, she was neither humble nor arrogant. She never felt that she was inferior to others. Compared with when she was a child, To me, she is simply brave."

Li Xianchen said, "This is also the case. A little girl's face was hurt like that. I told her that she had a chance to recover, but she didn't even desire it. It shows that she has a firm heart and is not easily hurt by the world."

Gong Bucheng said lightly, "So although she still thinks about the emperor in her heart, she still decides to leave. If she is really weak and lets herself sink like that, I might not have the chance to see her in Nanling."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you think Zhanyuan will refuse me to go with him?"

Li Xianchen said, "I can't say for sure. It depends on how affectionate she is."

"How to say?"

"If she can't come out for a while, even if she agrees to let you go to the North with her, you won't have a chance."

"so what should I do?"

"The maid is afraid of pestering the man, so you have to follow her all the way. If she needs help, lend a helping hand to make her aware of your importance. When she realizes that she will be sad if you leave her, it will be a matter of course."

Gong Buchu drew inferences and asked, "Is this how you treat Tai Gou Yue?"

"She, shush, keep your voice down." His voice was very low.

Gong Bucheng said, "Why are you so afraid of her?"

"She can cripple my arm with just one hand. Do you think I'm afraid of her now? She'll kill me. I saw her a few years ago and was able to fight her a few times. Now her martial arts has reached the level of my master's lifetime." ”

Gong Bucheng sighed, "Oh, I'm a martial arts prodigy, so I should look down on you. Besides..."

"What else can you say?" Li Xianchen said.

"Besides, her deceased husband was Wenyuan Zhi, the deposed prime minister a few years ago. Later, he was invited back to the capital by the emperor. He was a good person. She has seen such a person, how can she still like you?"

Li Xianchen rolled her eyes at him, "You don't understand. I still have a long time. I can spend my whole life with her."

Gong Bucheng was a little helpless, "You'd better not hang yourself on a tree. I think there's no chance for you."

After that, he got ready to sleep.

Li Xianchen looked at the wall. He could hear their words. If she wasn't asleep, she should also be able to hear him and Gong Bucheng.

After a meal at dawn, a pigeon stayed on the board of the boat.The boat was sailing in the water, and the waves were misty.

Li Xianchen opened the note and said, "It seems it's coming."

Gou Yue said, "I never asked you, where is the ship going?"

Li Xianchen said, "I came to Nanling actually to help Gong Bucheng do something, not to escape here."

"I see, Yan Ruhong's killers can't threaten you yet. Where is the ship going?"

"Nanling is evergreen."

Gou Yue felt a little hungry, "I want to eat something when we dock." "There is really nothing to eat on the boat."

“What specialties does Changqing have?”

"Pancakes, Changqing pancakes are very famous. Miss, you seem to be tired and thirsty very easily recently, right?"

"Nonsense, who can stand being tossed around on a boat day in and day out?"

With that said, Zhan Yuan jumped down from the mast and landed firmly in front of Gou Yue, "Auntie, look, my Qing Gong is much better?"

Li Xianchen stretched out his hand and said, "Look, little girl Zhanyuan is so lively."

"That's enough. If you want to say that I'm older, just say it. Why beat around the bush."

Li Xianchen said seriously, "I'm not joking with you." He paused for a moment and said to Zhan Yuan who was standing beside them, "I have something I can only say to your aunt. If you have nothing to do, you can go fishing with Gong Bucheng."

Zhan Yuan said, "Oh, okay."

After she left, Li Xianchen said, "Qianri Zui is not an ordinary medicine, and I don't know if Qianri Zui can protect you from danger for life. If this medicine affects you, you must inform me in time." "

Gou Yue said, "What can you do?"

"At least I won't do nothing and watch something happen to you."

Gou Yuecha said, "Just now you said you wanted to help Gong Bucheng do something?"

"Well, to be precise, it's to help his fiancée."

She was surprised, "He is already engaged?"

"If Gong Bucheng wants to break off the engagement, he must cure her strange disease, otherwise he will have to marry her. This is a marriage agreement that the two families have made long ago, but Gong Bucheng doesn't like that woman. If I can help him this time Curing her can be regarded as fulfilling his wish."

Gou Yue said, "What if you can't save me?"

"That boy Gong Bucheng believes in me. You see, he didn't doubt me all the way. He must be cured no matter what I say."

"Have you never heard of someone who ruins their marriage and goes to hell?"

Li Xianchen retorted, "There is another saying that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

"The merits and demerits are equal to each other, so you probably won't make any big mistake in front of the gods and Buddhas."

"nature."

The boat docked in Changqing, and from a distance I saw a woman wearing a lotus-pink skirt and a blue and white shawl on her arms. When the boat docked, the girl disappeared again.

Gou Yue's eyes were sharp and she saw it, "Is that Gong Bucheng's fiancée?"

Li Xianchen said, "Definitely not. His fiancée is sick and weak, and he will not let her out alone at home. Besides, you see that little girl is as lively as your Zhan Yuan."

"What are you talking about?" Zhan Yuan heard Li Xianchen call him.

The boat docked, Gong Bucheng hesitated a little, "Let's get off the boat."

Zhan Yuan walked with him, "What did you want to say just now?"

Gong Bucheng said, "I...I want to say..."

Gou Yue called her, "Follow me, aren't you hungry?"

"I'm hungry, I'm coming." Zhan Yuan turned around and said, "You can eat something later and talk slowly."

A few people found an inn. Just as Li Xianchen was about to walk in, he saw Gong Bucheng wink at him. He understood and said, "This inn doesn't look good, let's find another one."

Gou Yue glanced at it and said, "It's okay, no need to change."

"I think it's good too." Zhan Yuan has already walked in.

Her wounds had scabbed over, and she had been wearing a veil since she got off the ship. The mask would rub off the new scars on her face, so she stopped wearing it very early.

"What's wrong, why don't you come in?" Zhan Yuan turned around and said to Gong Bucheng.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked in.

After sitting for a while, several dishes were served.

First, a dish of red duck.

The duck is golden with red in it, crispy but not crispy, melts in your mouth and overflows with aroma.

The cook cuts the roasted duck into finger-width skin-on slices with a razor blade.

Simmer duck soup, add sugar, vinegar and special spices in a pot. This is the new marinade.

Zhan Yuan took off her veil, and people around her immediately moved their eyes to her face. She originally wanted to continue eating, but when she saw Gong Bucheng, she also looked at her, wondering if she had caused trouble for him, so she put the veil back on her face. , lift the veil slightly and eat.

Gong Bucheng dipped the duck slices in the marinade for her, "It tastes delicious. You can try it."

The red-skinned duck fried in hot oil is bright red and shiny, with crispy skin and crispy meat. It is moderately fat and thin. Zhan Yuan took a bite, and the fat fragrance filled his mouth. The slightly sweet sauce burst out with umami on the tip of his tongue. It was even better than the one in the palace. Many times more delicious.

"How is it, does it taste good?"

Zhan Yuan narrowed her eyes and said, "It's delicious. You should try it too."

He picked up another chopstick for his aunt and said, "Aunt, this duck tastes very good."

Gong Bucheng said, "I'll leave for a while and come back soon."

I saw him walking up to the shopkeeper, not knowing what he said, and then turned back after a while.

The shopkeeper walked up to several tables and handed over the banknotes one by one. In less than a moment of burning incense, the surrounding diners either returned to the private room or walked out of the inn.

He sat back and said, "You don't have to eat in such a hurry, there are better things to eat."

"These dishes are delicious enough, what else is there?" Zhanyuan asked.

He pointed at the dish being served.

It’s the peony mandarin fish. It has fewer bones and more meat. The fish meat here is even more delicious.

Gong Bucheng picked up a thornless piece for Zhan Yuan and put it into the soup, "You try it."

"The fish is so tender and crispy, how do you make it?" Gou Yue took a bite and exclaimed.

Gong Bucheng was very familiar with the food here, so he explained, "Wash the mandarin fish and cut it into thin slices, starch it with salt and cornstarch, and then roll it into the shape of a peony flower. Set up a small pot, boil the soup and add the meat Put it into the soup and you can pick it up in the blink of an eye three or four times. It will be fresh and tender in your mouth, and the mandarin fish has the best taste."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a weak female voice from upstairs, "Is he the young master of the Gong family?"

It's not good if the palace doesn't mean it.
