I saw an exquisite butterfly as big as a kite, flying in the medicinal field in space, with colorful streams of light shining on its jade-colored wings.
Mingruo looked at the pond where aquatic plants were raised. There were far fewer aquatic plants planted before, with only two or three solitary plants left. Fortunately, there were also new aquatic plants growing out, but they were very small and could not be seen even if you didn't look at them carefully.
Can't see clearly.
She sighed. With the speed of consuming medicinal materials, Linglong was definitely a gold-swallowing beast.
Si Haochen looked at the little white cat that suddenly appeared and frowned in displeasure.
Xiaobai glanced at Si Haochen very arrogantly, and walked to Mingruo's hand with elegant steps. Mingruo stretched out his hand, and he put his furry head on the palm of his hand, very well-behaved.
"Young Master Xiaobai is so good." Mingruo picked up Xiaobai and gave him a spanking.
Xiaobai squinted his eyes, and occasionally rolled his eyes at Si Haochen, which was full of provocation - he just liked the way you couldn't stand it and couldn't kill me: "Meow~"
Si Haochen gritted his teeth, he really couldn't do anything with it.
Near noon, the team stopped by a stream. There were several big trees not far away that could provide shade. The prince's people began to bury pots and cook rice. Mingruo prepared a lot of food in the space, but looked at them
Being busy cooking is a lot like having a picnic.
Mingruo stepped out of the carriage and said to Shishi: "Let's also bury the pot and make rice."
"Oh." Fifteen scratched his head. The prince brought a cook, so the rice, noodles, meat and eggs brought from the village were all cooked by the prince's people. "Then what should we do?"
"You and A just need to light a fire, and don't worry about the rest." Mingruo had just thought about it, and of course he would cook noodles for the picnic.
Ming Ruo has stored a lot of "Shou Noodles" bought in Luocheng in the space. They are very similar to modern noodles and are perfect for travel and picnics. It is very convenient to make the simplest Yangchun noodles.
Fifteen lit a fire and set up a big pot: "Do you think this is okay?"
"Okay." Mingruo just saw water celery by the stream and picked a small handful.
Heat the pot, fry a few eggs first, and scoop them out. Then pour the soup base mixed with stock and well water into the pot, boil it and cook the noodles directly. After the noodles are cooked, sprinkle with water celery and add a little sesame oil.
Perfect.
Mingruo put the noodles into a bowl. The thin noodles were soaked in the clear soup, with a few greens dotted in between, and the golden fried poached eggs were placed on top...it was simply beautiful and delicious.
Ming Ruo filled two bowls of noodles and carried them into the carriage, leaving the rest for Ha Yi and Shi Fifteen.
The prince came over smelling the fragrance and saw Uncle Yun's two guards filling the bowl with noodles and adding two fried eggs at the end.
When Fifteen saw the prince now, he automatically labeled him - a food thief.
So I just bowed politely, and then nothing more happened. Ha Yi was a fool, so he asked: "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
The prince coughed lightly: "You did this?"
"No, this was done by the princess." Ah Yi answered honestly.
"I didn't expect Auntie Huang's cooking skills to be so superb..."
Fifteen is about to cry. Why are you chatting with our two guards? Go back and eat quickly. My noodles are not delicious if they are lumpy.
Ah Yihan was naive but not stupid, so he had no choice but to say politely: "Your Highness, would you like to try these noodles?"
"Okay, let me try Aunt Huang's craftsmanship." The prince was very satisfied with Ah Yi's success.
Ah Yi served the prince a bowl of noodles and put the last poached egg on it. The prince motioned to the entourage following him, who stepped forward to take the noodles that Ah Yi had filled and went back to the carriage with the prince.
The prince's lunch was also prepared, and four dishes were delivered. The conditions in this wilderness are limited, and the heat of the dishes is not well controlled. If there is no fragrant Yangchun noodles, it is not bad. But there is Zhuyu.
Not to mention Si Haochen, even the prince who came back after asking for a bowl of noodles felt that these dishes were not delicious.
Si Haochen rewarded Ah Yi and Fifteen with the food sent by the prince. Fifteen complained while eating: "The rice cooked by the princess is not as good as that of the princess. What kind of royal chef..."
Si Haochen and Mingruo finished their meal, and Mingruo picked apples from the fruit trees in space as after-dinner fruit.
While nibbling apples and leaning against the window lattice to enjoy the breeze, Mingruo felt that her ears and eyesight had become increasingly sharp recently. She could now clearly see four or five people in the distant forest coming towards them.
"Si Haochen, look over there... is it an assassin?" Mingruo's voice was trembling.
Si Haochen looked in the direction Mingruo pointed and immediately asked Ah Yi and his people to go over and check. Ah Yi quickly brought the people back. They were not assassins, but the fourth prince who was attacked.
Although the fourth prince was accompanied by four entourages, everyone, including the fourth prince, was unkempt. Some people believed that they were refugees fleeing famine.
"Didn't you go to Qingzhou to supervise the construction of the dam? Why did it happen like this?" Si Haochen frowned slightly.
"My nephew encountered bandits on his way back to the capital at Hengshan, and some of the guards were dispersed. After that, they encountered several waves of assassinations, and only the four of them were left out of the five hundred elite guards..." When the fourth prince talked about this, he was still frightened, "
Just before I met the emperor's uncle, he was still being chased in the woods over there..."
Ah Yi went to the forest to check around and came back to report: "There are several corpses wearing evil ghost masks. They should be members of the evil ghost alliance."
The prince was also surprised when he heard Ha Yi's words: "The Evil Ghost Alliance again?"
Si Haochen threw a bottle of golden sore medicine to the fourth prince: "Take care of the injuries on your body and return to the imperial capital first."
"Thank you, uncle." The fourth prince quickly thanked him.
There were female relatives on Uncle Yun Huang's carriage, and the prince invited the fourth prince to heal his injuries. After the prince left with the fourth prince, Si Haochen ordered the secret guards to investigate who hired the killers of the Evil Ghost Alliance to assassinate the prince and the prince.
The fourth prince.
Mingruo asked curiously: "What is the Evil Ghost Alliance? Is it a killer organization?"
"The Evil Ghost Alliance is more like a bounty hunter organization. As long as the price is right, they will accept any task, including but not limited to killing." Si Haochen rubbed his forehead, always feeling that this matter was not easy.
"Are they forces within Donghuan?"
"No, the Evil Ghost Alliance's forces are spread across the four countries." Si Haochen continued, "And there are many people. They never fight alone when going on missions, at least in groups of ten."
"..." Mingruo didn't expect that there is such a dangerous organization in Shenhua Continent. One or two assassins are scary enough, but they come in groups, which is really chilling.
The fourth prince was on an office duty and had brought enough people with him. Although he was in a state of embarrassment, there were people who blocked the sword for him along the way, so his injuries were not serious. After the treatment was taken care of, the convoy set off again.
The carriage was swaying, and it was actually very easy to feel sleepy. But Mingruo was always worried about a group of assassins coming out of nowhere, so he was nervous and had no sleep.
