Chapter 33
The people who were inquiring about the situation were not fools. If this news was spread in Qiongzhou New City, it would not be of much use, and it would definitely be covered up soon.
Whether Princess An is male or female, it does not interfere with the people at all. It must be passed on to King An’s opponent, and only when it is passed to the capital can it be useful. And whether to design King An or not, how to design King An, is not something that people of their level can decide. Spreading the news to the master of the capital is what they should do.
However, it took too long to travel between the capital and Qiongzhou, and they would definitely stay to find more powerful and useful evidence. At night, several pigeons cooing, carrying the big secret that Princess An is a man, spread out their white wings and flew to the sky. Pigeons fly in the dark night sky like a shooting star.
In the courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, a special barbecue grill was built under the shed. This grill was made according to Jiang Chaosheng’s requirements. The well-coated meat is skewered with bamboo skewers, and the shiny grease drips down from the roast, exuding an attractive aroma.
Since we can’t play outside, self-service barbecue at home is also a different kind of fun. All kinds of vegetables are washed and cut and delivered. Jiang Chaosheng and Ji Xuanbing save the most troublesome food preparation work. Just bake.
The grill was on fire, Jiang Chaosheng didn’t let Ji Xuanbing, who was afraid of fire, lean over to the side, and flipped a row of skewers with both hands quite skillfully. He was busy and busy, and Ji Xuanbing didn’t just wait to eat. After all, he is a capable mermaid. , I have to do something for my husband.
Ji Xuanbing was sitting on the edge of the long table not far away. When the legs of the lower body of the little merman had turned into tails, he would slap the seawater in the wooden basin from time to time. Filled with a plate, and pushed it forward. One plate, two plates… ten plates, he pushed it to the edge so that Jiang Chaosheng could take it away.
The meat skewers are all cut into small cubes. The pork belly is the one that is 70% lean and 30% fat. One piece of lean meat is one piece of fat. The bright red raw meat is served, and the cooked skewers are placed on a bamboo woven plate. come over. The light green plate makes the browned roast even more delicious.
The freshly grilled meat was too hot, Ji Xuanbing blew on the grilled meat, took a careful bite, and the juice of the grilled meat flowed out immediately. Any seasoning is delicious, but if you add a little cumin or chili powder, it will have a richer texture.
Ji Xuanbing couldn’t help eating one skewer, and another skewer. There were about ten skewers on one plate, five skewers of pork and five skewers of mutton. His lips were all shiny and covered with grilled grease.
Jiang Chaosheng put the second plate over, and when he was about to turn it back, Ji Xuanbing stopped him again, and a string of bamboo skewers was fed to his mouth: “This skewer is delicious, and my husband will eat some first.”
The pork skewers are tender and the mutton skewers are more chewy, but with the old man’s pickled vegetable pancakes, it becomes a quite ingenious combination, and the taste is just right.
Jiang Chaosheng lowered his head and ate a bunch: “The little yellow croaker is about to be roasted, I’ll finish roasting these plates first.”
When he was in charge of the skewers, Ji Xuanbing was reluctant to eat it again. He poured two cups of tea, which Jiang Chaosheng used to serve with barley tea for barbecue. After the barley was cooked, it turned brown. The clear water turned into barley tea with a strong malt aroma.
This is a very special taste. I don’t like Ji Xuanbing alone, but it is very easy to digest and digest when paired with barbecue.
The hot air floated out from the tea water, reflecting the bright moon hanging in the sky, the twinkling stars, and two big white birds flying over. The bird with white wings quickly grew larger from a small white spot, landed beside Ji Xuanbing, and made a triumphant sound towards him.
This is a fairly strong white seagull. This kind of bird can often be seen at the seaside. From a distance, the whole body feathers are snow-white. If you look closely, you will find that the back feathers of the seagull are light gray, and there is a light circle around the edge of the feathers. black.
This seagull has a white dove in its green-yellow slender mouth. It has a small body with peas and eyes, and a lot of feathers on its body were scratched off during the struggle. The pigeon was exhausted.
“O…O” The seagull’s voice sounded sharp and harsh to human ears. It raised its head proudly, slender legs and pulled it, and sent the unlucky white dove to the king of the shark.
This is not an ordinary seagull, but he is the seagull who told Ji Xuanbing about the cooking process and taught Ji Xuanbing to make dried small fish, and he can be regarded as the matchmaker between the two.
“Ouou…” The little pigeon died and fell to the ground stiffly. Ji Xuanbing was about to drive this daring seagull out when he saw a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon’s leg.
“What’s wrong?”
Of course, Jiang Chaosheng also noticed the seagull, but the other party didn’t make trouble, and he didn’t shoot at the latter.
“Chaosheng, look at this.” Ji Xuanbing wiped his hands, untied the small bamboo tube, and poured out a roll of paper, “The pigeon that Xiaobai caught outside had a letter tied to it, I don’t know. What an unlucky bastard.”
Ji Xuanbing unfolded the letter, his pupils shrunk, only a few words were written on the letter: Princess An is a man.
Princess An, it sounds familiar. By the way, his husband seems to be King An.
Jiang Chaosheng put away all the baked vegetables: “Let me see, what’s written on it?”
After reading it, his expression was indifferent, and his expression did not fluctuate.
Ji Xuanbing was asking the seagull: “Where did you catch this pigeon, and did you see who put it?” The person who wrote this letter must have no good intentions, and he is about to arrest him now.
The white seagull continued to speak: “I caught it on the way, I didn’t see anyone, and released more than one pigeon.” It is not a seagull, but a seagull that is a little smarter than its peers. For birds, humans Most of them are similar in appearance, it only knows that the guy who put the pigeons is wearing black clothes and masked, so he can’t recognize it at all.
Although the trained carrier pigeons have good communication skills, but the distance is so long, there are always accidents in the middle, so the two people put a batch at a time, even if a few unlucky pigeons become other raptors or human dishes, news It can also be transmitted smoothly. Of course, putting so many pigeons is also intentional by these two people. After all, they originally planned to let more people know about this secret.
Ji Xuanbing’s face was full of anger, but Jiang Chaosheng handed a plate of unbaked small yellow croaker to the seagull: “It’s hard to deliver the letter, let’s eat it.”
The seagull immediately lowered its head to peck at the fish, and its mouth made a bang on the plate. It was better for King An, no wonder the King of the King liked it.
“Chaosheng, do you know who wrote this letter?” Damn, he’s only newly married, and someone wants to make trouble. What’s wrong with him being a male? Males can give birth to little mermen!
Jiang Chaosheng shook his head slightly: “I don’t know, but I can almost guess it.”
The small piece of paper on the leggings on the pigeon fell on the smoking charcoal fire, and a small blue flame jumped up, instantly turning into nothingness.
“It doesn’t matter if the news spreads out. Only when it spreads out can we know who the master behind them is.”
During this time, a lot of people came to this newly built city, some were just ordinary people living for life, some were traders who stayed for a short time, and some were snoopers with ulterior motives.
Many of them were arranged by his cheap brothers in the capital, including the suspicious prince, possibly the emperor, or the male protagonist.
When the original owner died on the ship, it was definitely not just an accident. The ship was specially equipped with things that could attract sea monsters, and even the original owner’s daily meals were added to make the original eleventh prince die early. . It was all for the sake of competing for interests. The original owner had a lot of enemies. He roughly guessed some, but he couldn’t be 100% sure.
Jiang Chaosheng put it lightly: “It’s okay if the news spreads. You are my princess. As long as I don’t agree, no one is qualified for the medical examination.”
He appeased Ji Xuanbing: “It doesn’t matter if you want to reveal the identity of a man.” At first, Ji Xuanbing was asked to wear a skirt, mainly to cover up the fish tail of the little merman. For the merman, skirts are also much more convenient than trousers. Going back to fight for the throne, it doesn’t matter whether the princess is male or female.”
Seeing that Ji Xuanbing was in a bad mood, Jiang Chaosheng stuffed another piece of roasted eggplant into Ji Xuanbing’s mouth. Unlike meat, the eggplant was soft and soft, brushed with a very rich garlic sauce, and the juicy eggplant was also fragrant. Take a bite. , the little mermaid doesn’t seem to be so angry anymore.
Ji Xuanbing was not angry with his good husband, but he still wanted to find the culprit: “Who do you think is the culprit? Is it those stinky old men in Wangzhou?” A lot of people came to propose marriage. The wrinkled old man in Wangzhou city with a sinister smile and a wrinkled face wanted to marry his third daughter to his husband.
Now he is already married to Jiang Chao, the stinky old man’s daughter has not been married yet, and the other party has more than one daughter who is discussing marriage, and there are even younger daughters in the family.
Ji Xuanbing grinded his teeth, Jiang Chao was generous, but he was very vengeful. At this moment, he felt a little bit unable to hide the fangs secreted in his mouth. If he wasn’t interested in human beings, he would have wanted to bite those stinky old men to death. Forget it, the old man’s meat must be sour, stinky and woody, and a bite will only get his mouth dirty.
“Chaosheng, don’t think that they are all good people, those guys are very bad, their heart, liver, spleen and lungs are rotten.” Ji Xuanbing said amazingly, “Chaosheng, you don’t know, when the old city of Qiongzhou was flooded, it was It has something to do with those black-hearted old men.”
