There are at least fifty dumplings, which are quite large and have thin skins and large fillings.
Zhang Mengna went to the kitchen, and Shen Lie went back to his room to take a shower. When he came out, he heard yelling from the courtyard, and Dai Yu and Shitou quickly took action.
Shitou's face turned red and he grabbed Dai Yu's collar. He put his foot against Dai Yu's leg and was pulled back by Du Xuan and Feng Ze.
Dai Yu was holding the hand of the stone and breaking it apart: "I'm warning you, I don't want to fight with you, otherwise you brat won't be able to punch me twice! Let me go!"
Shitou said nothing, gritted his teeth and stared at him fiercely.
"What's going on?" Shen Lie came over and said solemnly, "Stone!"
Shitou refused to give up and wanted to scratch Dai Yu.
Shen Lie held his wrist and broke it off forcefully: "Stone!"
Du Xuan and Feng Ze pulled the stone back, and then Du Xuan told what happened to Zhao Datou.
"Dai Yu said a few words to Shitou, and Shitou was furious." Feng Ze followed up and said.
"What kind words can Dai Yu say!" Shi Shi's eyes turned red, "A dog can't spit out ivory!"
"I've tolerated you for a long time!" Dai Yu shouted angrily.
"Feng Ze," Shen Lie said, "take the money and go to Zhao Datou's home first to see who is in his family. You should comfort them as soon as possible."
Feng Ze let go of the stone, lowered his head and said, "Yes, young master."
"Du Xuan," Shen Lie looked at Du Xuan, "Take someone to ask Lin Qingfeng about the whereabouts of Zhao Datou."
"Yes," Du Xuan responded, "But what if Zhao Datou is killed?"
Shen Lie looked towards the stone.
Shitou raised his hand and wiped away his tears, saying, "In the worst case, I'll give you a life for a life!"
"Find him first," Shen Lie looked back at Du Xuan, "Something may not happen. If Lin Qingfeng really finds out, she won't kill him easily."
Du Xuansi nodded: "Okay, Master, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
A servant passed by Du Xuan and ran towards Wen Daoju: "Young Master!"
The servant ran in: "Mr. Song is here! Wait outside the house."
"Let him in."
"He said he invited you to the racecourse and wanted to race horses with you."
"No," Shen Lie raised his eyebrows lightly, "If he comes to see me for anything, let him come into the house and look for me in the kitchen."
"Okay, I'll go talk right away." The servant ran away again.
Dai Yu straightened his clothes and shouted in a low voice: "Master."
Shen Lie looked at Shitou: "Pack it up. When the news about Zhao Datou comes back, whether he is good or bad, you will immediately set off back to Zuilu. I will ask Zhang Meng to see you off."
Shitou was stunned: "Master, you want to drive me away?"
Shen Lie turned around and walked out of the hospital.
"Master!" Shitou hurriedly caught up, "I'm here to serve you. If you drive me back, I will scold me to death!"
"Are you deaf?" Dai Yu stood in front of him, "If the young master asks you to go back, go back!"
"I didn't do anything wrong," Shitou cried, "then everything I did was just for the sake of the young master?"
"Go away and pack your things!" Dai Yu pushed him back.
"Master!" Shitou cried as he looked at Shen Lie's walking figure.
Song Qingtang came into Dede Mansion and followed the servant.
Different from his usual simple outfit, Song Qingtang today wore a thick, warm brown suit with gold threads and silk, a dark fur coat, all his hair tied up, and a jade crown, which made him look more elegant than the military uniform.
Seeing Shen Lie outside the back kitchen, Song Qingtang strode over: "Shen Lie!"
Shen Lie had just taken a bath, put on a dark purple brocade robe, hung a shiny jade pendant from his waist, and sat under a tree.
The cold branches were steep and covered with a lot of frost. The branches were white, reflecting the light on his bright skin.
"Where's Ah Li!" Song Qingtang said directly, "Were you the one who rescued her that day?"
"It's me," Shen Lie said, "Sit down."
Song Qingtang frowned, sat down opposite him, and said, "You brought so many men with you. You were well prepared when you left that day. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
"I wasn't sure she was going to show up beforehand."
Song Qingtang took a deep breath, nodded, and said: "A total of 17 soldiers died, more than 20 people were injured, and three others were seriously injured. Their lives are at stake."
"These thirty-seven soldiers made the first move."
"That stinky girl broke into the execution ground first!" Song Qingtang said angrily.
"I know," Shen Lie said, "I was there."
"Why did she do this?" Song Qingtang said angrily, "Is she really from Duke Dingguo's palace?"
Shen Lie paused and nodded, his face expressionless.
"Dong Guo's Mansion..." Song Qingtang propped up his forehead on the table, "My mind has been very confused these days."
Shen Lie looked at him and said nothing.
A while later, a servant brought wine and placed it on the stone table, and also placed a celadon jade cup in front of Song Qingtang.
The servants who followed him placed chopstick pillows, chopsticks, small plates, and small bowls in front of them. Like cups and cups, they were all made of blue and white porcelain inlaid with gold.
Song Qingtang raised his head and looked at Shen Lie: "Are you still interested in inviting me to drink?"
"No, I wanted to eat by myself, and you happened to be here." Shen Lie said, picking up the jug and pouring wine.
"I'm so angry with you," Song Qingtang frowned, "Did you know that you are a wanted criminal now? How come you are so carefree and content? I am in a conflict between whether or not to take you back. I feel very uncomfortable."
Shen Lie paused and said, "I know," he raised his eyes and looked at Song Qingtang indifferently, "We are not supposed to know each other because we have different ways of doing things."
"What do you mean by this?" Song Qingtang was angry. From what he meant, it seemed that the other party wanted to break off the relationship with him. Why didn't he, Song Qingtang, deserve to be a friend?
Shen Lie also filled the cup in front of Song Qingtang with wine.
Song Qingtang looked at the glass of wine with a cold expression. Once Shen Lie finished pouring it, he picked it up and drank it all, then put it down with a "bang" sound.
"I don't mean anything else," Shen Lie looked at him, "I just want to thank you. You and I have different positions, but you have chosen to protect me several times. This is a rare gift."
"What's there to thank you for?" Song Qingtang curled his lips as if he was mocking himself, "If it weren't for the fact that we knew each other, my life might have been lost long ago."
Once in the Yanyun Guards, he saw this man's skills, and it was because of his acquaintance that he did not die.
Once in Daping Square, if Shen Lie hadn't appeared, he might have just followed that fat guy stupidly. Who knows what would happen next?
And if Shen Lie didn't show up, he wouldn't have known that the man in black who broke into the execution ground was Shen Lie.
Everything has a cause and effect, and there is no saying who favors whom.
"The Tao you said is different," Song Qingtang looked at Shen Lie, "What Tao is it?"
Shen Lie shook his head: "I have no idea."
"If not, then why are you and me different?"
"Ah Li," Shen Lie said, "her way is different from yours."
Song Qingtang paused, his shoulders sank, and his beautiful thick eyebrows furrowed: "Yes, if she is really from the Dingguo Palace, then she and I... are not right," Song Qingtang was displeased, "You and What is her relationship? Why do you prefer her when her ways are different from mine?"
