The man in black came over, clasped his fists and saluted: "I was the one who offended you just now. Can you please give me a compliment and have a cup of tea together?"
Seeing that Ming Wei didn't move, he added: "We are destined to meet again in a foreign country. I think the girl has not had any serious tea since she came to the grassland, right? There is a cook from the south in the master's house who can make some tea snacks."
He spoke softly like this, and Mingwei finally showed a hesitant expression, turned around and asked, "Can he make ice cream?"
Ice cheese needs to be stored in ice. Hu people rarely live in one place, so how can they eat such delicate snacks?
The man in black said: "What a coincidence, only the master's residence in Caiyun City has an ice cellar."
Mingwei then smiled: "Okay, for Bingche's sake, I'll give you some face. Let's lead the way!"
The man in black winked at Master Shangzhi and thought to himself, she is indeed a little girl, and a piece of ice cream made her change her mind.
Unknowingly, he believed it a little more.
Half an hour later, Mingwei was holding a bowl of ice cream and eating it satisfactorily.
Since leaving Gaotang, she has not tasted this kind of sweet food for almost three months, but these three months are the hottest period of the year. Although it is hard to eat, who can't enjoy it?
There were several torches burning in the room, illuminating the spacious hall very brightly.
With the bright light, the man in black looked at Mingwei silently.
This girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She had tender skin and tender flesh, and an extraordinary appearance. She looked like she had been raised in a pampered way. And with her attention to eating utensils and elegant manners, she must have come from a good background.
He believed a little more in his heart.
After Mingwei finished eating, he asked: "What do you call the girl?"
"My surname is Ming, and my given name is Wei."
"Miss Ming..."
"You asked me, why didn't you say your name?" Mingwei interrupted him.
The man in black said with a bit of sadness: "I haven't used my name for a long time, and I can't remember it at the moment. My surname is Sheng, I am ranked seventh, and everyone else calls me Sheng Qi."
"Oh, Master Sheng Qi..."
Mingwei looked at him openly. Judging from his appearance, he must have been in his fifties. His face was old and his eyebrows and beard were a bit gray. It seemed that he was not living a particularly good life.
He is from the Central Plains, lurking in the grassland, and looks like this. Could it be that his public identity is a slave?
The Hu people would kidnap some Central Plains people as slaves, and such people could only work as slaves and do hard labor in the grasslands.
"I haven't been back to the Central Plains for a long time. When I saw the girl dressed like this, I was very moved. But I don't know where the girl is from?"
"Oh, I usually live in the capital." She wasn't lying, the Ji family is in the capital.
"Why did the girl come to the grassland? Judging from your appearance, you should not be short of money, right?"
"Of course." Mingwei said nonchalantly, "The capital is not fun, so I sneaked out. I met their caravan on the way and said they were coming to the grassland. I have never been to the grassland, so I came with them to have a look!"
"I see..." The two of them were chatting, and after a while, Sheng Qi felt like he had figured out this girl's background.
Da Yin is hiding in the city. That fortune-teller is living in the capital. The elder who taught her mystical skills is no longer there. Xu Sun Shu probably got acquainted with her by accident and had several interactions with this little girl.
He probably took a fancy to this little girl's skills. Before he died, he passed his token to her, but he didn't have time to explain his identity.
Sheng Qi nodded secretly. Their Xingxiu had to hide their identity, and the chance of accepting a disciple was not high. If it were him, he would indeed be moved when he saw this little girl. The choice of Xu Sun Shu is understandable.
Don't tell me, now he is moved by the fact that such a little girl who is inexperienced in the world has great strength. If she can use it for herself...
…
When Mingwei returned, it was almost dawn.
Duofu waited all night and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her coming back: "Is Miss okay? Did you do anything? Are you injured?"
"It's okay." Mingwei was very tired. After a night of acting, she was more tired than fighting.
She waved her hand: "We'll talk tomorrow, I'll take a nap first..."
After sleeping, it was noon the next day.
She washed her face and rinsed her mouth before leaving the house and found Su Tu standing outside.
Mingwei was startled: "Prince Sutu, you act as the doorkeeper in front of my door while I sleep? This really flatters me."
"..." Su Tu said, "Where did you go last night?"
"Guru's residence!" she shouted, "what a blessing, where is my food?"
"Hey, here we come!" After a while, Duofu came with food. Seeing that Su Tu was still there, he hesitated and asked, "Does the Seventh Prince want to eat here?"
She was just being polite, but she didn't expect Su Tu to nod: "Okay."
Duofu: "..."
No need to ask anything, there is no extra food, she seems to want to give hers away!
After a while, the two of them ate opposite each other.
What surprised Mingwei was that Su Tu was very proficient in using chopsticks.
"The seventh prince seems to be very proficient in the Central Plains culture."
Su Tu did not deny it: "The Central Plains are ahead of us Hu people in all aspects, so of course we must learn from them."
"So you and Prince Nasu can both speak Chinese?"
Su Tu said: "There is a grandmother from the Central Plains in our tribe. She taught Nasu and I the Central Plains dialect. Later, I captured a few scholars from the Central Plains and asked them to teach us how to read and write."
Mingwei praised: "The prince is so eager to learn, no wonder he has achieved this."
She was talking about the Western Wei Dynasty. Su Tu didn't know it and shook his head: "What kind of achievement is this?"
He looked at Mingwei: "Young lady seems to know something about our Snow Wolf Department?"
Ming smiled and said: "The prince usually says the same thing, it's obvious."
"Then don't you think my behavior is unfaithful and unfilial?"
Mingwei thought to himself, what is disloyalty and unfilial to a person who plans to rebel? He said: "The successful king loses the bandit, and the clothes are like beasts. There are many bloody places in the history of the Central Plains. Loyalty and filial piety are to control the ministers, not to demand.
The king’s.”
"What the girl said is really thorough." Su Tu said lightly, "It's a pity that most of you Central Plains people can't understand this truth."
Mingwei said: "If most people can understand it, wouldn't there be more people rebelling?"
"Too."
The two chatted for a while and finally got to the point.
After the meal was finished, Mingwei became a little impatient: "The prince came to me and wanted to talk about going to the guru's house last night? If you have any questions, just ask, I will take a nap later."
Just woke up and fell asleep again? Su Tu swallowed his words and said: "The girl has been in the guru's house for so long before returning. She must not be fighting, right?"
"Of course." Mingwei took a sip of tea and replied, "I'm chatting with them."
"them?"
Mingwei put down the tea cup and smiled at him: "I will do what I promised you, but how to do it, I hope the prince will not interfere. In short, the God's will that the Qihu Department wants will never reach the hands of King Qihu
superior."
Su Tu stared at her without speaking.
"You don't believe it? Then we can end the cooperation. Anyway, the Guru's Mansion can also make money."
After a long while, Su Tu finally gritted his teeth: "Okay! I will believe you just once!"
