Chapter 174 Testing Each Other
Seeing his face full of shock, Yun Li smiled and asked:
"You are the third prince of Yu Kingdom!"
"Do you know me?"
Yun Li raised an eyebrow. It was rare to meet someone from the royal family who didn't call herself "this palace"...
Then he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I guessed!"
The Third Prince raised his thin lips, a faint smile on his face: "I am Yuwen Ting. Thank you Princess Mingxi for saving me. I will definitely come to you with a generous gift to express my gratitude someday!"
"It's just a small favor, you're welcome!"
"By the way, when Princess Mingxi saw me, did she encounter a man in white in the mountains?"
Yun Li shook her head: "No, when I met you, you were alone, leaning against a rock, and you had lost too much blood and passed out..."
"My guards are probably searching for me all over the mountains right now! I'll fire a flare to him and have my men lead us down."
Yun Li nodded and agreed: "Okay"
Now I can't bring Helian Chi out of the space, so I can only go down the mountain first.
While waiting for the guards to arrive, Yuwen Ting thought again and again and decided to test Yun Li.
"I heard that Princess Mingxi opened a hot pot restaurant in the capital. I was lucky enough to try it on the day I arrived in the capital! The taste was very good and reminded me of a delicacy from my hometown."
Yun Li asked, "Oh, isn't the Third Prince's hometown Yu Country? Does Yu Country have food similar to my hot pot?"
"There's a delicacy in my hometown that's eaten the same way, but with more variety."
Yun Li was intrigued when she heard this. Did hot pot exist so long ago? Why didn't it spread from Yu Country? That shouldn't be the case. She asked excitedly, "Why are there so many variations? Third Prince, please tell me about it. I'll take a look and maybe improve it."
Yu Wenting deliberately spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on Yun Li, not missing the expression in her eyes and face:
"In addition to the shabu-shabu hotpot, we also have four-grid and nine-grid grids..."
When Yun Li heard the four palace grids, she was dumbfounded. She looked at Yu Wen Ting with wide eyes. Her expression changed from calm at first to excited.
If the first four squares were a source of surprise and speculation, the ninth square couldn't help but make her think more.
Could it be that the Third Prince is a time traveler like her?
Restraining her inner excitement, Yun Li decided to give it a try just to be on the safe side.
On second thought, the nine-square grid and the four-square grid don't mean anything. After all, it seems normal to have these two terms in arithmetic.
So I followed up on what he said and asked, "Oh? That sounds good. What does it taste like?"
"There are so many flavors, like beef fat hot pot, mushroom soup hot pot, tomato hot pot, clear soup hot pot, seafood hot pot, sour soup hot pot... there are so many flavors that it's hard to count..."
Yun Li was slightly stunned, and an imperceptible light flashed in the fox's eyes.
She clearly remembered that several people around her, including Helian Chi, had said that hot pot was not a food eaten in the Four Kingdoms, and it did not appear on this continent...
The Third Prince said she was from his hometown. There are two possibilities. The first is that he was testing her because he knew she was a time traveler.
The second possibility is whether Yu Country really exists?
After some thought, I ruled out the second possibility. Putting aside other considerations, how could there be tomatoes on this continent? And the term "seafood"? In ancient times, there was no definition of the sea; there was no concept of the sea at all!
Excluding the second, that leaves the first! Did she reveal her identity through the hot pot restaurant, or was it the explosives on the battlefield? So he was testing her?
Identity is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either. She is not afraid if it is really exposed!
But we must understand his purpose. Whether he is an enemy or a friend is still debatable. So Yun Li continued to ask with doubts:
"There are so many flavors. Doesn't anyone in Yu Country have a hot pot restaurant? How come I've never heard of this kind of food in Yu Country?"
Yu Wenting laughed in his heart. This little girl was quite alert and was pretending to be confused with him. Well, he would accompany her to the end.
So he smiled and shook his head and said: "Yu Country is not my hometown. I come from a faraway place. In my hometown, hot pot restaurants are everywhere!
Chuan City is the birthplace of hot pot restaurants, where the smell of hot pot wafts through the streets and alleys..."
Yun Li's head exploded! Forget it, no need to ask anymore, Chuan City has come out, he is also a time traveler
Just when Yun Li was about to confess her identity to him, his guards came
"Your Highness, are you alright? Why are you here? I've almost searched the entire mountain..."
One sentence brought the two back to the topic. Due to the presence of others, they did not continue the previous topic.
"I'm fine. I was lucky enough to be saved by Princess Mingxi."
The guard turned to Yun Li and thanked her: "Thank you, Princess Mingxi, for saving our Highness."
Yun Li glanced at the guard. Isn't this the man in white who sat next to Yu Wenting in the box eating hot pot that day?
Alas, she was careless and didn't think much about it at the time. In ancient times when the concept of hierarchy was so strong, how could the master eat at the same table with the guards, especially the royal family? This was a big taboo.
No wonder Yu Wenting deliberately asked her in the box that day. She didn't think about it at all at that time.
The guards took Yunli and Yuwen Ting down the mountain
Yu Wenting said goodbye to Yun Li before getting on the carriage and whispered, "Thank you, Princess Mingxi, for saving me. I felt a strong connection with you right away. Would you be so kind as to invite me to the teahouse for a gathering?"
Yun Li curled her lips and said, "But I'm not free today. Let's meet the Third Prince at Yayun Pavilion at noon tomorrow!"
If it weren't for the wrong time and place, Yu Wenting would have wanted to chat with Yun Li here. He was really curious about how she got here.
"Okay, then I'll have the guards escort the princess back to the capital."
Hearing this, Yun Li refused: "No need, my people are on the way and will come to pick me up soon. The Third Prince is injured, so you should go back first. Remember not to use force on your waist recently, otherwise it will cause the wound to rupture!"
Seeing her persistence, Yuwen Ting did not force her to stay. "Okay! See you tomorrow! Princess, please be safe!"
Yunli nodded and watched the carriage go away until it disappeared from sight. Then she found a place behind a big tree.
Flash into space
"What took so long? How is he?"
"He was taken away by his guards. We are going down the mountain now!"
"Then Li'er, take me out!"
Yun Li took Helian Chi and the two children out of the space, and with a big wave of his hand, he took out the spare carriage in the space.
Holding the two children, he got on the carriage and drove the carriage towards the capital.
In the carriage, Yun Li recalled the conversation she had with Yu Wen Ting on the mountain. She still found it incredible.
She traveled through time, her mother also traveled through time, and now she meets another traveler...
Is this a bit too much time travel? Or has modern technology advanced to the point where we can freely travel through time and space?
