Chapter 219: The Imperial Master is Henpecked
In the shop.
The heat from the electric casserole continued to rise, and it had switched to the keep-warm mode.
The soup was clear and golden in color, with a slight fragrance. Chen You couldn't help but drink a bowl of it first and ate it with the rice.
She put the rice spoon to the side and didn't move anywhere else.
The orange kitten curtain hanging in the kitchen swayed gently in the wind coming in through the window.
It was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and there was still no news from Wen Zhi. Ever since she wholesaled the candles, the nights in Shuozhou City were no longer as dark as when she first arrived.
But it wasn't much better, the candles were mainly supplied to the soldiers defending the city.
In ancient times, ordinary people were reluctant to waste candles for lighting in their homes, so at night, looking out from her position, there was still only silence.
It feels like when we took the bus in the past and drove on the national highway, we could see some houses built on the side of the mountain with no other residents around.
At night, the trees cast heavy shadows and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
People who are not used to this kind of environment will feel it is too quiet.
This is what Chen You is like now.
After thinking it over, I couldn't help but take my things and go out.
If Wen Zhi hasn't come back by now, something might have happened.
She first took a flashlight, and when she got to a populated area, she changed to a bamboo solar lantern.
It is more in line with the ancient environment and avoids being too eye-catching.
The person guarding the gate of the military barracks in the city couldn't recognize who she was because she was wrapped tightly in a cloak and a mask.
In their perception, a mask looks like an assassin's mask.
But it's freezing here, what kind of assassin would have taken the wrong medicine to get here?
He grasped the hilt of the knife, his face filled with confusion.
"Please inform General Liu that Manager Shen is here."
A gentle female voice sounded, and the guard was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"It turned out to be Shopkeeper Shen. No need to inform him! The general said that if you come, please come in immediately and don't neglect him."
The soldiers quickly put down their hands on the hilts and led the way for Chen You.
As soon as she saw Chen You, Liu Yunyan's joy was written all over her face. She waved her hand, signaling the soldiers to retreat first.
"Shopkeeper Shen! Why are you here?"
"I'm going to bring you some food. By the way, I want to ask if Wen Zhi has returned to Shuozhou City. I'm afraid things may have changed."
Although she explained it this way, Liu Yunyan still gave her a look that said 'I understand'. 'By the way' was probably the real purpose.
"I thought you came here just for me." She sighed deliberately.
Chen You took out a plastic lunch box from the milk tea takeaway bag in her cloak and handed it to her.
"Is this fried rice? It looks delicious!" Liu Yunyan said happily.
"Bimbimbap is not as oily and easy to get angry as fried rice." Chen You smiled, "I made it myself, my skills are not good, I don't know if it suits your taste."
She made a lot, a big pot, and it was all out, so she decided to bring it to Liu Yunyan to try.
Liu Yunyan took her to the back yard and said,
"Yes! I know it as soon as I see it! Who said your cooking skills are not good? I can't make such a delicious meal."
Chen You smiled gently. Her cooking skills could only ensure that she would not starve to death in modern times.
“It’s right here.”
Liu Yunyan stopped and told her that the vanguards had two people in a room, the deputy generals had a separate room, and this side was for people with higher positions. Civil servants who came here to supervise had lived here before.
"However, the Imperial Master seems to have been injured." Liu Yunyan said in a low voice.
Chen You's complexion changed slightly.
Deputy General Situ, who was passing by, saw General Liu, who was accompanied by a girl in a green skirt and dark cloak, and looked at him with an inquiring expression.
The Imperial Master did not leave anyone on guard inside, but the road outside still had to be guarded.
He had just said he was coming over to make arrangements when he ran into the two of them.
He had only glanced at Chen You's back during the day, but how could he recognize her in the dark?
"This girl is the expert who helps Shuozhou with strategies." Liu Yunyan explained, "No need to report."
Watching Chen You walk in with big strides, she whispered again, "They have a close relationship."
"Who? Imperial Master?" Vice General Situ opened his eyes wide, "Is this true? Didn't I hear that the Imperial Master brought his sweetheart to the palace banquet? Is that her?!"
"right."
"That's what I told you!" Deputy General Situ slapped his thigh, "Why did he rush back to Shuozhou even though he was injured? I thought he was a foreigner and had some conspiracy. It turns out he wanted to get closer to the girl."
"General Liu, did the master really not give you the formula for the glass bottle?"
General Liu should also know this. He is also under the command of the National Master and one of us. We can't defend ourselves so tightly.
"That's not ordinary colored glass. Da Qi doesn't have it, and the formula is the same. Shopkeeper Shen said that he didn't give us the formula for our own good. If we use the wrong thing, it will be very dangerous."
"I see." Deputy General Situ nodded, "No wonder it's different from ordinary colored glass. This expert must be very rich. He took out so many precious colored glasses and smashed them."
What Liu Yunyan didn't say was that there was only one such piece of colored glass in the Liu Mansion in the capital, and her brother kept it in the study like a treasure.
Someone offered it for a hundred taels, but he was reluctant to sell it. He only spent twenty taels and got a great bargain.
She said that when she first saw the glass bottle, she felt it looked familiar.
If my brother knew that there were hundreds of such glass bottles smashed in Shuozhou City, he would probably come to pick up the pieces and collect them.
Thinking of her family, Liu Yunyan smiled. The New Year is coming soon, and she doesn't know how everyone is doing.
Chen You looked at the flickering candlelight in the door and wanted to push it open directly, but her manners made her raise her hand and knock on the door before entering.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Wen Zhi wearing only two inner garments and his outer garment had just been put on. He was sitting on the couch by the window and was a little surprised at her arrival.
"Why are you here? Why are you walking down here alone at night?"
Wen Zhi couldn't feel at ease whenever he thought of that scene.
Chen You looked at the scars faintly visible under the edge of his collar, and was so angry that she put the lantern on the table.
"You'd better explain why you didn't return to the shop after you've dealt with the matter and why you were injured."
Wen Zhi was silent for a moment. Looking at her, she kept smiling but was obviously angry. He felt happy in his heart and his eyebrows raised a little.
She was caring about him.
"I smell a lot of blood, so I want to go back and see you later."
"Wen Zhi!" Chen You took a step forward, opened his collar, looked at the hideous wound, took a deep breath,
"Are you out of your mind? Don't you know how to apply medicine when you're injured?"
Looking at his bright black eyes and the smile on the corners of his lips, Shen You couldn't help but swung her sleeves and patted him, but the force was very light and avoided the injury.
Outside the door, two people squatting in the corner looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
It has to be Shopkeeper Shen.
In front of her, even the decisive imperial teacher was obedient.
Who could connect this person, who was scolded but dared not say a word in rebuttal and seemed to be about to kneel on the washboard in the next second, with the national teacher with an iron-blooded wrist who killed foreign cavalry in the daytime.
"I didn't expect that the Imperial Master is so powerful outside, but he is afraid of his wife behind closed doors." Deputy General Situ sighed.
He found common ground between himself and the national teacher and felt very honored.
Liu Yunyan gave her a look of surprise. She had discovered it when Manager Shen went out to rescue her.
Unfortunately, he didn’t hear what was said afterwards, but he saw the shadow on the door, and it was Shopkeeper Shen who held down the Imperial Master.
The two people walked away tactfully.
I'm working on the previous pictures, because some of the generated pictures are not very good (some are too funny) QAQ so it will take some time~
