Chapter Eleven Heartfelt Gratitude

Xu Ziling was about to sneak out of the room when Kou Zhong grabbed him and had to smile bitterly and said: The whole process of smoking fish is ready and the explanation is ready. The eloquent chef Kou can handle it by himself. He insists on keeping people here without realizing it is a waste.

Manpower?

Kou Zhong said bitterly: I beg you, please. I'm afraid I'll do something wrong without you here!

Xu Ziling said: What are some examples of things that could be done wrong?

Kou Zhong coughed dryly and said: For example, I carelessly abandoned my great career and flirted with the princess. Or I lost my manly dignity and knelt down and begged her to marry me. Oh! Two brothers in the same generation, just stay here obediently.

Be brave.

Xu Ziling laughed and said: Do you think she is here to have a tryst with you? I can guarantee that Lan Gu will flatter her and even the owner of the beauty shop will be watching to see what hidden secrets there are between you and her.

Kou Zhong shook his head and said: Your experience with women is still not as good as mine. Did you pay attention to the princess's expression last night? Her confused and overwhelmed expression meant that she was not totally uninterested in me.

So if she doesn't come today, she will definitely find various excuses to send the others away.

Xu Ziling said in surprise: Not only do you have an orifice at the Tianling point, but you also have a pair of eyes. I clearly saw you just looking at the floor last night. How could you see her subtle changes in expression?

Kou Zhong said awkwardly: Do you understand that a master of series like me, Chun Lai, already knows a lot of things? Xu Laoshou!

Come back quickly!

Xu Ziling raised his hands and said: Is it okay for me to go to the toilet?

Kou Zhong changed his strategy and hugged him, almost kissing him and said enthusiastically: My good brother, remember to go early and come back early.

Just when Xu Ziling thought he could escape, he didn't know that Kou Zhong caught up with him and said: In the same world, two brothers should advance and retreat together.

Xu Ziling couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: How can you imitate others and fight for hegemony in the world if you are so brave?

Where are you two going!

The two turned around in shock.

Shang Xiuxun and Li Xiuning were walking hand in hand along the corridor. Surprisingly, there were no other followers.

Shang Xiuxun is still dressed in a warrior uniform and a feathered hat, which is charming and heroic.

Li Xiuning's surprisingly simple and pure white skirt and gown paired with a vest with blue flowers and yellow ground looks very charming. This beauty, like Song Yuzhi, has the unique noble and delicate temperament of a woman from a wealthy family, which can make any man feel ashamed.

The two women were even more radiant under the sunlight outside the gallery, and seemed to have some kind of strange endowment that was almost ordinary.

For a moment, both of them were stunned.

The two girls Yingying came to them. Li Xiuning smiled generously and said: I'm sorry! The two masters have been waiting for a long time!

The two of them responded with hurried salutes.

Shang Xiuxun said calmly: "Ning, you first explain to the princess that I want to have a few words with Jing."

Kou Zhong saw that Li Xiuning had forgotten everything. He also wished he could have a chance to be alone with her and hurriedly led Li Xiuning to his room.

Shang Xiuxun led Xu Ziling towards the back garden and stopped when they reached the pavilion and asked: What did the old man say to you last night?

Xu Ziling replied: He taught us how to build gardens and forests. Do you want me to repeat that?

Shang Xiuxun said behind his back: Is there nothing else?

Xu Ziling sighed and said: He is still recovering from his old injuries caused by being injured by the enemy thirty years ago!

Shang Xiuxun's delicate body trembled slightly and she lost her voice: What?

Xu Ziling whispered: Mr. Zhao Lu himself estimates that he can only live for ten or eight days longer, or maybe it is because of this that he takes a fancy to us!

Shang Xiuxun slowly turned around her delicate body and looked at him intently for a long time, then said softly: Have you ever thought about your future, or are you content with being two cooks?

Xu Ziling was confused by her sudden change of topic and replied noncommittally: What can we do if we are not cooks?

Shang Xiuxun said displeased: You are not cooks but salt smugglers, and now you dare to say such things to me.

Only then did Xu Ziling remember Kou Zhongguo's words and said calmly: No matter what you do, you only seek money. Smuggling salt is very risky, and you may lose all your money at any time, but here you can steadily receive half a piece of real gold every month.

Shang Xiuxun's eyes shone sharply and asked with deep meaning: What are your plans after making enough money?

Xu Ziling said nonsense: It depends on the current situation. If the world returns to unity and peace, we will return to our hometown and open a restaurant.

Hey! This is great for us!

Shang Xiuxun smiled and said: "You still want to lie to me. I only listen to your clear and coherent conversation and elegant response. I know that you are not ordinary people. Otherwise, how could Lu Miaozi be interested in spending time on you. Who are you two?"

What's the purpose of being here?

Xu Ziling screamed in his heart. Fortunately, he had a countermeasure as soon as his thoughts changed. He smiled bitterly: The owner of the venue is really awesome. In fact, the two of us are from Yangzhou. Our natal family is also a Yangzhou aristocratic family. It is famous for running restaurants in the local area. Later, the emperor was assassinated and Yangzhou was in chaos. The mobs looted everywhere and were exhausted.

Our family was devastated and we fled to Yuhang. We first worked in a restaurant and later saw that private salt was very profitable, so we decided to take a gamble. Little did we know that we were robbed by thieves on the road and could only escape with our lives. This is what happened.

This statement is half true and half false. Unless Shang Xiuxun has certain information, it will be difficult to find a flaw.

What's more, he didn't expect that this beautiful woman could be associated with their true identity from Yangzhou because no one except Yu Wenhua and a few others knew that they were originally gangsters from Yangzhou.

Shang Xiuxun looked at him for a while, and frowned, "Who did you learn your kung fu from?"

Xu Ziling said: We are all disciples of Shilong Dojo. Later, Shilong offended the foolish king and punished the nine tribes. Fortunately, grandpa spent a sum of money on us so that the two of us would not be implicated.

Shang Xiuxun remained silent as if he didn't know what to ask him again.

Only then did Xu Ziling really feel relieved and realized that she knew nothing about the relationship between the Secret of Immortality and Shi Long.

Shang Xiuxun suddenly looked him up and down and said calmly: Frankly, the physique and temperament of your two brothers are rare in the world, otherwise the old man would not have taken a fancy to you. But since you missed the golden years of martial arts training, now you will work hard in the future no matter what.

The achievements are also limited. Alas! Being a cook has wasted talents like you, so it is best to ask the old man to teach him some special skills while he is still alive. I may choose to hire you so that my life will not be wasted.

Xu Zilingci had a good impression of her and said respectfully: Thank you to the owner of the venue for the advice.

For some reason, Shang Xiuxun sighed silently and said: Go back! Li Xiuning should learn how to make smoked fish. Is Chai Shao really so charming?

The last sentence made Xu Ziling dumbfounded.

When Kou Zhongfu stepped into the room, he pointed at the various ingredients neatly displayed on the countertop and introduced them seriously: This is the seasoning, this is the sauce, this...

Li Xiuning interrupted him and said: No one is around!

Kou Zhong stood still for a while as if someone had punched his acupuncture points, then lowered his hands and said, "What do you want me to say, princess?"

Li Xiuning moved behind him and said softly: "Second brother, I miss you very much because you were often unhappy because you refused to let him conquer the world. It's great to see you again now. Alas! How could you hide here?"

The cook's? Is it because he's afraid of Li Mi?

Kou Zhong straightened his back and said coldly: Who are we afraid of coming?

Li Xiuning said happily: No wonder the second brother is full of praise for you. Just seeing how you turn everything upside down shows how capable you are. Only now do I know that the second brother's evaluation of you was not an exaggeration.

Kou Zhong felt the fragrance of Li Xiuning's breath wafting gently to his nose as he spoke. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He moved to the window and stared at the moving scene of the courtyard under the sunshine, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He finally achieved something, but he can't get back the old days.

If these words had been spoken by Li Xiuning back then, he would not have had to retire sadly due to low self-esteem and dare not compete with Chai Shao for her heart.

Li Xiuning saw him walking aside and sighed inwardly.

With her tender heart and wisdom, she already understood Kou Zhong's affection for her. However, because of her family status, talent and appearance, she didn't know how many men fell in love with her, so she didn't take it to heart.

But when she met Kou Zhong this time, he not only became a majestic and handsome man, but what touched her heart the most was his indescribable temperament.

However, the matter between her and Chai Shao was a foregone conclusion. No one, including herself, could change it and was unwilling to change it. She was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to stand where she was or move closer to Kou Zhong. Kou Zhong's voice came into her ears and said: You

Married?

Li Xiuning's delicate body trembled and she lowered her head and said sadly: Although she is still not married, it is not much different from being married.

Kou Zhong looked up to the sky with a long laugh, turned around like a whirlwind, his eyes were as bright as lightning and said: Okay! Just treat you as someone else's wife. You may find it difficult to understand, but in fact I am very happy with this answer, because it can make me

From now on, I will focus solely on fighting for my ideals.

Li Xiuning was shocked when she saw him changing into another person, showing the arrogance and arrogance that she had never imagined appearing in Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong's majestic eyes turned into incomparable tenderness, and he revealed a signature smile as bright as the sun. His snow-white teeth shone brightly and he apologized: I couldn't help but feel tired for the moment, and I'm so sorry for being frightened. It seems that the princess is not interested in smoking fish today.

Is it possible to recruit our two sons? And the princess should know the answer now.

Li Xiuning took a deep breath to suppress the fluctuating emotions affected by Kou Zhong and said: Although Xiuning has grasped Brother Kou's feelings, she still feels very regretful and disappointed. Is there still room for change?

Kou Zhongcha turned from a hero into a bear and blurted out, "Unless you are willing to marry me! Fortunately, he remembered Song Yuzhi and the Shuanglong Gang he founded, and suppressed this impulse. He smiled calmly and said: The reason why life is interesting is because of us.

Although I have lost a lot, I have also gained a lot. There are moments of joy and days of heartbreak.

Then she strode up to Li Xiuning's delicate body, lowered her head, and looked deeply into the beautiful princess's beautiful eyes. Her eyes shot out with a sea of ​​affection that made her heart tremble. She said in an extremely gentle tone: Xiuning may have never cared about me, Kou Zhong, but

When I, Kou Zhong came to Xiuning, you were the first woman who gave me the taste of first love that kept me awake all night, worried about gains and losses but extremely exciting. Although it only lasted one night, you already made me very grateful. Thank you.

When Li Xiuning let out a sweet cry, Kou Zhong had already strode out of the room.

Never looked back.

※※※

Shang Xiuxun and Xu Ziling arrived one after another. They were both surprised when they saw Kou Zhong striding out from the door with a dull look on his face.

Before Shang Xiuxun could say anything, Kou Zhong walked past the two of them and muttered: I need to use the toilet.
