Chapter 96 King Xi fell into the river
Fu Rui was left speechless by Zhou Shaoyu's retort, and was angry but couldn't express it.
He reached out and took a chicken claw from the plate in front of him, saying, "You are such a scoundrel. It's just a chicken foot. I'll just eat one. Otherwise, if it gets out, people will think I look down on the people."
Zhou Shaoyu refused to let him eat it: "Since you don't like it, don't force it. It's such a good thing, it seems like I'm forcing you to eat it."
"You didn't force me to do it. I wanted to eat it myself."
King Xi had a calm expression on his face, and he didn't even say "this king" anymore, completely letting go of his airs.
Before putting the chicken feet into his mouth, he had already prepared himself for the fishy and smelly taste, and he only regarded the sour taste as seasoning.
I didn't expect that the chicken feet would be completely different once I put them in my mouth.
It tastes chewy, crispy, refreshing, sour and spicy. You can't tell it's chicken feet at all. Even other meat can't compare to it. It can't be said to be the most delicious meat in the world, but it is the most peculiar food.
He ate one and picked up another dish with chopsticks. When Xie An served the dish, he had already removed the lemon and other condiments, so King Xi picked up a piece of onion with chopsticks.
After the onions were marinated for two hours, the sharp spicy taste had long gone, leaving only the sour and crispy taste, which was delicious.
Prince Xi was very anxious, but he still put down his chopsticks and praised: "Miss Xie's cooking skills are really good. The small chicken feet are so delicious."
Zhou Shaoyu felt relieved when he saw that he was holding the food and stopped eating.
Pretend, pretend hard! !
I’m afraid you haven’t tried it. Once you’ve tasted it and know the taste, it will be difficult for you to pretend!
People are like this. If you have never tried, you will really be invincible without desires. Once you have tried, you will try to endure it again.
Zhou Shaoyu had a smile on his face and finished both bowls in a short while.
He looked at the basin and saw that there was still a lot left. He said to Zhou Jin, "Go find a clean jar and put the rest in it. Don't waste good things."
When he had almost finished eating, he stood up and went out to urinate.
After coming out of the toilet and washing his hands, he did not run to the prince's hall, but secretly went to Xie Yanyan's side.
It just so happened that Xie Yanyan had eaten and drunk her fill and wanted to pack up and leave the restaurant.
He immediately saw the crystal clear goblet on the table under the candlelight.
Standing at the door, smiling, he looked at her: "Are you full?"
“Yeah.” Xie Yanyan looked at him. He was wearing brocade clothes and had black hair. His cheeks were rosy and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. His smile spread, illuminating even the dark sky. He was so gorgeous.
"Drinking?"
"I drank it."
"How much do you want to drink?"
“Maybe two altars.”
"It's a bit too much! Have a good sleep tonight, as we have to set off early tomorrow." Xie Yanyan took out a box from her bag, opened the lid, and put the high-footed crystal glass in it.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Zhou Shaoyu said, "Shall I take you there?"
Xie Yanyan was about to refuse, but Zhou Shaoyu had already gone towards the Chuihua Gate.
Xie Yanyan followed, and their shadows were stretched out long under the moon. Originally, they were one in front and one behind, but Zhou Shaoyu moved to the side and walked parallel to her.
"You can't move forward or backward, you'll block the light and step on your head." He pointed to the shadow on the ground.
Xie Yanyan is short to begin with, and if he walks behind him, he will just step on his head!
Xie Yanyan thought he was a little cute when he was drunk, and couldn't think of anything to say, so she just reminded him: "Drinking will cause trouble, just drink a little."
"Okay." He agreed readily.
Seeing that they had arrived at the Chuihua Gate, the two separated and Xie Yanyan didn't even look back.
Zhou Shaoyu staggered back and saw her carriage. She went to look at the baskets at the back. There were still a few watermelons in the baskets covered with hay.
He himself didn't know why he came out all this time. Was it just to send her back to sleep?
The rooster crowed at four o'clock in the morning. Everyone got up, washed up, and had a simple breakfast.
It was already dawn at five o'clock in the morning when the Crown Prince's carriage and Prince Xi's carriage left the government office in a mighty procession.
When leaving the city, Xie Yanyan calculated the distance, and when she was about to reach 2,500 meters, she immediately went to the Huangfu Rice Shop in Gucheng.
As per the old rules, rice, grain, silver, door panels and furniture, nothing was left out.
The Huangfu Rice Shop in Gucheng had received the notice long ago. Even if they had to work until their eyes turned red, they had to guard the granary without blinking an eye until the prince and his entourage had all left the city.
The prince and his entourage all left the city, and King Xi and the Taoist priests who had posted the notice to exterminate the locusts all left.
They wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but what happened? They swore at the lamp and blinked their eyes, and everything in the rice shop, even the soles of their feet, disappeared!
***
After two days' rest, the horses were able to run very fast and reached the beach at noon.
A river with a slow flow lies across the road ahead.
Dongliu went to Sha'an early yesterday and contacted the local ferry, and the postmaster contacted a wooden barge carrying a horse-drawn carriage.
When the prince and his companions arrived at the ferry, they boarded the boat directly. The car, boat, and people crossed the river smoothly.
With Prince Xi following behind, the Crown Prince had no need to wait for him, so he went ashore and the carriage sped away.
Xie Yanyan sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, and saw Prince Xi and Xie Xiangxiang and his party get on the boat. The carriage also caught up with the barge and headed steadily towards the middle of the river.
She had collected a lot of big rocks in the space, and found two big rocks weighing about two tons. She calculated the angle accurately, transferred them into the air, and the big rocks began to fall freely.
It hit the wooden boat right on target, and the boat capsized in an instant.
The big rock was closest to Wang Zhen and Prince Xi, and the two were knocked unconscious by the rock. Xie Xiangxiang, who was strictly ordered by Prince Xi to wear a veiled hat, screamed again.
Xie Yanyan: You made us fall into the cave, so I will send you to Dragon Palace. It’s fair!
Everything in the carriages of King Xi and Wang Zhen was cleared out, and a large stone was turned out.
While the postmaster was trying to rescue people, the barge carrying a horse-drawn carriage was hit by a rock from outer space, and the carriage on the barge also fell into the water.
Xie Yanyan didn’t care what happened to Prince Xi and Xie Xiangxiang afterwards. Anyway, he had avenged his anger. This was called tit for tat, not more, not less, just right.
As for whether King Xi would embarrass the postmaster, the answer is "no". In ancient times when science was not well developed, people believed in the legends of gods and ghosts.
If King Xi dared to hold the local boatmen accountable, they could have said, "We have been ferrying people across rivers for hundreds of years and have never been hit by any rocks from outer space, but you just happened to come and the rocks from outer space hit you specifically. This shows that your morals are so corrupt that even God cannot tolerate it."
Therefore, not only will the postmaster and the boatman not be punished, but according to King Xi's virtue, he will also appease them and compensate them with new boats.
The prince was concerned about the country and the people. Except for resting twice and changing horses at the post station, he rode almost non-stop, covering more than 500 miles a day and finally arrived at Yunyang City.
"We'll rest here for one night and set off tomorrow." The prince got off the car and asked Xie Yanyan, "Are you okay? Are you tired?"
The prince has delicate features and a calm gaze. He is not frivolous or boastful. He is the crown prince of a country, but he looks very sincere.
Xie Yanyan nodded: "It's okay, thank you, Your Highness."
The officials of Yunyang City had already come out to greet him. The prince looked at the crowd of officials on both sides and said gently, "I am just passing by and will leave early tomorrow morning. Everyone should do their duties."
Despite this, everyone was still extremely excited, as this was the prince's first time in Yunyang City.
Zhou Shaoyu secretly knocked on Xie Yanyan's car window. Xie Yanyan opened the curtains. His originally stern and resolute eyes changed in a second. He bent down and looked at her with a smile.
"What are you having for dinner?"
“…”
Xie Xiangxiang: Your Highness, if your mother and your wife fell into the river at the same time, who would you save first?
King Xi: They couldn't both fall into the river at the same time. My mother is in the palace, and my wife is in her fiefdom.
Xie Xiangxiang: If I fell into the river
King Xi: What does it have to do with me if I fall into the river?
Xie Xiangxiang: Let me give you an example.
King Xi: Bastard, who gave you the right to make “an analogy”? An analogy is my male favorite, why did you hit him? Is it because you can attract shit?
Xie Xiangxiang: Nima is nothing
