Chapter 389 Zixia

One night later, Zhu Huaizhen, Tu Mi, Lou Li, Qiu Niang, and 19 Taoyao soldiers marched towards Zixia Lake.

"Your Highness, if we walk faster, we can get rid of these good-for-nothings before dinner." Tu Mi rubbed his hands, eager to give it a try.

"Then let's walk slower." Zhu Huaizhen curled his lips.

"Walk slower?" Tu Mi felt puzzled.

"Tu Mi, no matter how dissolute these playboys are, there are still some who hide their talents. We cannot take them lightly. So, choosing to arrive at dusk is the best time for us to attack. Because when the playboys eat, they like to have fun with wine, just like Zhen'er likes to listen to operas. It's the same principle." Lou Li smiled evilly, his peach blossom eyes sparkling with water.

If he didn't explain, Qiu Niang would misunderstand Zhu Huaizhen again.

Qiu Niang is proficient in cooking and medicine, which is very useful.

Otherwise, he would have found a way to drive Qiu Niang away long ago.

So everyone walked slowly.

Zhu Huaizhen rested for an hour and listened to some opera.

Ahem, time is tight, so I can only listen to "Peach Blossom Fan".

Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.

To Zhu Huaizhen's surprise, Qiu Niang cooked Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for her.

Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.

At dusk, the sky is filled with colorful and gorgeous rays of light.

Lou Li stayed to protect Zhu Huaizhen and Qiu Niang.

Tu Mi led the Taoyao Army and prepared to charge into battle.

"Tu Mi, those good-for-nothings, listen to their tone. If they have hurt Chen Mingan, they will be severely punished. If they have not touched Chen Mingan, you can let them go lightly. Of course, if you can't make up your mind, just tie up as many as you can. Leave it to me to decide." Zhu Huaizhen whispered with a serious expression.

After hearing this, Tu Mi clasped his fists, bowed, and said "yes".

Then, there was a long wait.

Zhu Huaizhen yawned repeatedly and snuggled in Lou Li's arms.

About two hours later, Tu Mi, with nineteen Taoyao soldiers, dragged cart after cart of tied-up dandies and came to Zhu Huaizhen.

"Your Highness, I have brought here all those who bullied Chen Mingan. Unfortunately, Chen Mingan is not in this tent now." Tu Mi sighed helplessly.

She had just briefly interrogated him, saying that Chen Ming'an was raped ten times a day, an unwritten rule. Sometimes, when they got excited, five or six of them would humiliate Chen Ming'an together.

"Use Mi Die San and Wen Rou Xiang, and then let every Tao Yao soldier draw a picture of the scenery and spread it throughout Jinling." Zhu Huaizhen knew Chen Ming'an's pain without having to listen to Tu Mi's words.

The ingredients of gentle fragrance are agarwood, orchid, clove, jasmine, magnolia, osmanthus and honey.

Fresh orchids, jasmine, magnolia, and osmanthus flowers are placed in a stone mortar and pounded into a floral paste. Cloves are ground into a fine powder, and agarwood into coarse grains. The fine clove powder and coarse agarwood grains are then mixed together and placed in the floral paste and further pounded. A suitable amount of honey is added to form incense pills, which are then pressed into incense cakes. After being pressed dry, they are then dried to produce the finished product, which is mostly used for fumigation.

Midie Powder is non-toxic and has a light fragrance. After burning, no trace can be found.

The gentle fragrance mixed with the mist powder is the deadly love fragrance.

Since Emperor Xuan of Yan has no shame, Zhu Huaizhen will not give him face.
