"Qingque, why are you here?" Did Ye Tan really not expect that this thinner and dirty-looking person was actually the chubby guy he knew?

As soon as he heard Ye Tan's question, Li Tai burst into tears. His life these days was really miserable.

I used to have a father and brother at home, but now I have to rely on myself when I go out. These days, it's really not easy to let others know that I slept in a beggar's den for a night in order to avoid the possibility of being discovered.

, and he would not say anything about the fact that his captain of the bodyguard almost drowned trying to find some water for himself.

As for why he can't go out to eat and drink openly, it's because he's worried about being seen by Li Shimin's people and being caught back. He's leaving the capital privately, even if His Majesty has such feelings for him.

, will also deal with him, this has nothing to do with favors, but with attitude.

"Okay, why are you crying? If you keep crying, you can go back. We are very busy and don't have time to take care of the children." Ye Tan annoys people like this the most, so with one sentence, Li Tai stopped crying and just kept his fair skin.

His face was scrunched up and down, making him sick to look at.

"Come here, let these two people wash up. We will set off in a quarter of an hour." After Ye Tan said that, two people came over and took the two people directly to Yunlai Inn, where there is hot water.

Bathing should be quick.

After Li Tai left, Qin Qiong walked out of the carriage and looked at Ye Tan with a frown and said, "You won't really take him away, will you? You have also seen the problems along the way. If anything goes wrong, we will

These people are probably going to suffer."

Qin Qiong is a group of people who know the Li family very well. After all, he was too close to them at the beginning. He knows better than anyone what kind of temper Li Shimin is. He usually talks well, but if something goes wrong, Li Shimin will fall out at any time.

.

"I understand what the general said, but unfortunately, if they are allowed to go back now, it will probably be even more dangerous." Qin Qiong was stunned by Ye Tan's words, and then thought of what happened before, and couldn't help but darken his face and said, "But this matter cannot be done

Is that the end of it?"

Ye Tan wanted to say something else, but he waved his hand and said, "It's up to you, I don't know anything."

Ye Tan thought to himself, old fox, do you want me to send him back? I left Chang'an here, and there is no other reason why I can't beat him to death. I will go back directly. Where is my face facing, and the others

People don't know what's going on.

He took out a piece of sheepskin from his arms, wrote a few words, and threw it to the ground. Just in time to see Li Tai coming back with a silly smile on his face, his captain of the guard was also arranged to go to another carriage.

When Li Tai was sitting in Ye Tan's carriage, dressed in furs, he smelled a strong fragrance. This kind of fragrance had been smelled in the East Palace before, and he had tasted it several times, but it had never been so fragrant.

But Ye Tan didn't seem to be in a hurry, because the carriage had already started on the road. The next stop was Fengzhou. I heard that there was a good Fengming Mountain there.

When the pot boils and the lid is lifted, a strong aroma of meat comes out. The fist-sized bones are covered with fat and thin meat. It makes people appetizing just by looking at it. It is simply very appetizing.

Li Taigang was about to grab one and nibble on it, but Ye Tan pointed to a big bowl on the table and said, "Drink the porridge first."

"I want to eat meat." He slapped the table with dissatisfaction. At this time, letting him drink porridge was simply killing him.

"If you don't want to drink porridge, I'll give all the meat to people outside to eat, or I'll send you back. Can you choose one?" Ye Tan looked at it and found that it wasn't particularly soft, so he took it.

Put the lid on, then use a knife to cut some green vegetables. After the pot boiled again, he poured the green vegetables into it. For many people who have eaten dried vegetables all winter, the temptation of this thing is unparalleled.

Li Tai knew that his identity was of no use to Ye Tan, so he could only drink the bowl of smooth white porridge honestly, and then looked at Ye Tan longingly. As a result, he realized that the bowl of porridge just now was just...

When he was getting a bowl of water, Ye Tan put a piece of bone on the plate in front of him and said, "Just eat this piece today. It's been a long time since you've eaten properly. If you eat like this, you won't have diarrhea."

He didn't care about this and just started. Although he screamed when he was burned, he still didn't feel it. It was just that the teeth in his mouth were so sweet that he kept biting them. When Ye Tan moved, he even whined.

The sound is like protecting food.

Ye Tan looked at the scenery outside and found that although there were no refugees along the way, the surrounding area was empty and there were no two villages. Some of the things that happened today also made these people wary in their hearts.

Two and a half days later, they arrived at Fengzhou. Although it is a state with a large population, very few people come out in winter. Everyone seems to be willing to stay at home. Wait until these people arrive at the gate of Fengzhou City.

At that time, I saw a few trembling soldiers on duty with spears in their hands. Unfortunately, they seemed to ignore Ye Tan and others coming over, and only when they threw the city tax on the plate

They are somewhat energetic. According to Ye Tan's opinion, when these people see the gangsters, they are most likely to run away.

Because of the delay on the road, when we arrived at the big inn in Fengzhou, everyone went to rest early. Only Ye Tan and a few old gentlemen planned to visit Fengming Mountain.

Li Tai felt energetic now that he had warmed up and had enough food. For a person who had never left Chang'an, everything outside was very fresh. After the carriage stopped at the inn, he followed closely.

Ye Tan didn't even bring his captain with him, because not only would he have delicious food, but he could also see a lot of nice scenery.

Because it was morning, the sunshine was pretty good, and there were quite a few people on the street. However, they were all dressed in tatters, and few of them were really well-dressed. As soon as Li Tai complained, he heard Li Gang say,

"Your Highness is wrong. As far as I know, Fengzhou Governor Yang Yike is a powerful character."

"A powerful person lets ordinary people go out on the streets dressed like this?" Li Tai said he didn't understand. The most people he saw were only in silk and satin. After all, there weren't many people wearing linen. However, he didn't want to think about him either.

Who are the people around you? How is this comparable?

"Qingque, you are wrong." Ye Tan looked around and said softly. Because the carriage had to change horses, they stayed at the door of the inn and did not go out.

"I was wrong, where was my mistake? Is the person who makes the people like this a capable person?" Li Tai asked curiously, this is the only good thing about this kid.

"The Tang Dynasty has just been founded. Not only do not have enough to eat in many places, even wearing clothes is a problem. Although the people here are also wearing very shabby clothes, there are so many people taking to the streets. And have you seen it?

, it’s a good idea to have special officers standing there.” Ye Tan pointed to a place not far away that was similar to a talent market, where there were several officers who were not very well-dressed but kept bargaining for prices.

"What kind of good idea is this?" Not only Li Tai, but also Li Gang, Yu Shan, Li Shi and Rui Deng didn't understand that official duties were synonymous with bastards in the eyes of many people.

"Generally, in places where the weather is bad or poor, people who work don't care about anything just for a bite to eat, so many times, unscrupulous employers will suppress the wages of those people without limit, and they could have earned some.

If you have enough money to buy something for your family, it may only be enough for you to eat for a day. At this time, you need people from the government to help support you. Otherwise, these people may not starve to death but will be exhausted.

die."

"Oh?" They all seemed to understand. The carriage also came, using the horses provided by the inn. It looked good, but Ye Tan looked at the young master driving the carriage, smiled, and did not continue talking.

Fengming Mountain is located in the southwest of Fengzhou. It is said that a phoenix landed on it a long time ago and got its name. Therefore, if the weather is good and the country is not in chaos, many people will still come here to play.

It's just that it's early spring, and the weather is still a bit cold. Those who can come out at this time are either full and full, or they are about to freeze to death and have no way out.

Therefore, the carriage was almost unimpeded along the way, and it soon reached the bottom of the mountain.

In early spring, there is still a vast expanse of white everywhere. The morning sunshine has melted some fragile places. A trickle of water flows under the short trees. Although the wind is still biting, you can vaguely feel the breath of spring.

, Li Tai saw the smoke of water smoke rising not far away, and couldn't help shouting, "Are there gods there?"

Li Gang and the others didn't feel anything special. They just looked at the scenery not far away and walked up the mountain slowly.

Ye Tan patted him on the head and said, "What kind of god? If that one is also a god, you won't have heat when you eat. You see the gods every day. Aren't you tired? Aren't the gods tired?"

"Oh." Li Tai shut up immediately because he found that he seemed to know very little.

The scenery along the way up the mountain was good. Although Fengming Mountain was not high, when a few people climbed to the top of the mountain, they saw that the green mountains not far away were like the Canglong Puhai, and the white mist around them was like the dragon flying.

Take a deep breath, then exhale after a while, you can feel the white dragon rising out of the sea.

None of them wanted to talk or eat. They looked at everything around them and couldn't give up this wonderful taste. Especially to the north of Fengming Mountain, there was a huge stone, which looked really good from a distance.

It looks a bit like a crested head, but in Ye Tan's opinion, it looks like a rabbit head. It's a pity that people in the Tang Dynasty liked waste. That's what people say. What do you think?

The wind on the top of the mountain is a bit strong. Although there are no snowflakes, every call of the spring breeze is a very serious call. Let the warmth in your body teach everything in this world the same.

The clothes of everyone were quite warm, so they were not afraid. Only Li Tai wanted to compose a poem, but in the end he found that he could not read it out. He finally wanted Ye Tan to say a few words, but was ignored. He could only take advantage of Ye Tan's words.

When a few people were looking at the scenery outside, they walked around and found that there was actually nothing on the mountain. There were no leaves on the few tall trees, only dead branches. If you accidentally couldn't get down from this place, you would definitely be hungry.

die.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is not interesting when you are hungry. Because you can't go up, you can only go down. This makes Yushan feel disappointed, but there is no other way. He waits until the little master below brings him

When he was going to give the food to a few noble people, he was rejected by Ye Tan. He opened the side of the carriage with a key, then took out a small stove and a quite large pot from inside, and then placed them in front of a stone table.

I put these things down, because the table was relatively large and it was difficult to put the fire directly on it. As a result, Ye Tan broke it directly in the middle, and then I could put down the stove.

The stuff in the pot was meat and there were also fungi. It was good food anyway, and it wasn't cold along the way. They were used to Ye Tan's skills, so they didn't care. It was just the dried meat and dried biscuits in the hands of the little master.

I didn't dare to take it out anymore. I could only stand there tremblingly. I don't know if it was because of Ye Tan's fright or because of something else.

The fire in the stove was very strong, so it burned quickly, and then bursts of aroma came out from the side of the pot. There were not many people around, but this was the first time I encountered people eating and watching the scenery like this.

They were somewhat graceful, but after all, it was windy all around, so Ye Tan had to take out two spare transparent door panels from the carriage and place them on both sides to block the wind.

"Looking at the scenery outside today, it's really refreshing." Li Gang drank the white wine that Ye Tan had poured, drank it all in one gulp, and couldn't help but clapped his hands.

"Yeah, I haven't been out for a long time. I thought I would die of old age in Chang'an." Li Shi was very thin, but his body was very agile. He took a sip of wine and found that it was like it was on fire. He couldn't help but sigh.

"This time I came out, although I was burdened by a false reputation, it still makes people feel comfortable. If possible, I hope this road will never be completed." Ruiden is in good spirits now, as if he has been instilled with inner strength.

, there is also a hint of dustiness in his words.

"Brother, when can we eat? I'm hungry." Li Tai's summary can be said to be shocking. If you people don't pretend to be noble, the old guys almost choked on the wine.

Ye Tan smiled, then untied the pot, and a strong smell came, pungent, making people drool. Just when Li Tai was about to take action, Ye Tan said to the little brother, "

You come."

The young master was naturally attracted by the fragrance, but he was still a little shy after hearing Ye Tan's words. He wanted to retreat but couldn't resist the fragrance and took a few steps forward.

Just when he was about to ask why, he found that the pie in his hand had been snatched away. He was stunned for a moment, and Li Tai was also stunned. When did his brother become so indifferent to other people's feelings? And Li Gang was about to say

What, but was pulled by Yushan, and he planned to wait and see.

Put the pie on the table, then pointed to the stone bench next to it and said, "Sit down and eat."

"This?" The young master had never been treated like this before. He couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He thought it was because the noble man felt that he had seen too many things.

"Sit down, you have worked hard along the way." Ye Tan said, using chopsticks to pick up a piece of bone for him, and then everyone gave a piece. Although it was a bit small, it felt really comfortable to drink and eat meat here.

Oh, it was originally suitable for drinking tea, but unfortunately, the weather was too cold, and the more I drank, the hungrier I became.

"This?" The young master still didn't dare to move. Everyone here looked like an ordinary person. Although he could be considered a group of people who could eat well, the meat in his hand was given to him by the shopkeeper when he went out.

, if these noble people don’t eat it, they have to take it back.

"Okay, let's eat. How big of a child can you be to be shy? Didn't you see that little fat guy next to you is so capable of eating. The last time I saw him, I thought he was going to starve to death. I didn't expect that, but

You've eaten so much in two days. It shows that people who don't have a good appetite can be more handsome." Ye Tan's words made several old people laugh, but almost made Li Tai feel so depressed that he wanted to fly out. This was considered

What's the matter? Don't I just like to eat a little? Is there anything wrong with doing this?

However, despite being ridiculed by Ye Tan, the food was still delicious, and the little master also took the bone and ate it. It melted in the mouth, and was sweet and delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food in my life, and the taste was also

fragrant.

Several people ate for a while, and there was less meat in the pot. Then Ye Tan took the big cake over, used his fingers to make a knife, and directly separated the big cake, then put it into the soup pot, and then after a while,

Take out a piece with your chopsticks and put it in your mouth, chew it gently and soak up the soup. The taste is great.

"Brother, is this delicious?" Li Tai often ate this kind of food before, and it tasted very bad. Seeing Ye Tan's look, he thought he was lying to him.

"Of course it's delicious, you can try it." After Ye Tan finished speaking, several old people also took a piece and found that the taste was completely different. Even the little chef ate several pieces, but that piece of meat, Ye

Tan didn't move until he was going down the mountain. At the intersection, the young master suddenly knelt down beside Ye Tan and kept kowtowing. His forehead soon began to bleed.

Li Tai thought the child's expression of gratitude was too much. He was about to say something when he heard Ye Tan say, "Why did you change your mind?"

"The young one is a servant of God. I just received the news that he wanted to poison you. It's just that you are so kind to me. I can't bear it. Please forgive me." The words of the young master made Li Tai scratch his head, but it made several people on the side scratch his head.

The old man took a breath of air. Just now, he thought this child was an ordinary person, but how did Ye Tan see it?

"I threw away that piece of meat. If you can't explain it after you go back, just come with us." Ye Tan said here, looking at the mountain road not far away.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The young master continued to kowtow, not daring to raise his head to look at Ye Tan, and Ye Tan asked, "What's your name?"

"The little one is called Xiaoman."

"Last name?"

"Xiaoman has been raised by the shopkeeper since he was young and has no surname."
