The days have returned to the past.

Qionghua is still locked up in the North Cave and is not allowed to come out, and Cui Hengyue must complete her work on time before she can go to the dining hall to eat with everyone.

At lunch time that day, Runzhu poked the vegetarian food in the bowl with his chopsticks and complained to Song Zhuoxing: "Sanlang, it's all your fault that you didn't ask for information before coming in. Now it's better. We can't live without the South Hall for the rest of our lives."

.

"I have to work for them every day to have food to eat. The most disgusting thing is that I eat vegetarian food for every meal without even a trace of meat.

"What's the point of living in a day like this..."

Song Zhuoxing was upset when he heard this and grabbed Runzhu's vegetable bowl: "Shut your mouth if you don't want to eat."

"No, this is mine." Runzhu snatched the vegetable bowl back, quickly picked up a chopstick and put the vegetable into his mouth.

He took a second bite before finishing one, and looked like he was devouring it as if if he moved just a little slower, the food would be snatched away by Song Zhuoxing.

Song Zhuoxing laughed silently and started eating.

"Sanlang, you are so unjust."

Seeing Song Zhuoxing eating elegantly and calmly, Runzhu felt angry and couldn't help but blame Song Zhuoxing.

Hearing this, Song Zhuoxing paused and explained in a low voice: "Don't forget the purpose of our coming to the Northern Han Dynasty. We originally wanted to stay in Yunxuan Temple..."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of a table being smashed next to him, and Song Zhuoxing looked to the left.

Su Biwen slammed the bowl on the table, stood up, pointed at Cui Hengyue across from him, and asked, "Why is her food different from ours?"

These words attracted everyone's attention.

"Look, there is more than one piece of meat in her bowl." Luo Sanniang was close and could see Cui Hengyue's food clearly.

Li Bi'er craned her neck to take a look, and said calmly: "There is also milk soup."

As soon as these words came out, the dining hall immediately became excited.

"Lieutenant Chen, why does the little lunatic have meat to eat and milk soup?"

"If she has it, why don't we? We are not convinced."

"Yes, if you can't give us a reasonable explanation today, we will go to King Chu and ask clearly..."

The woman just made angrily verbal accusations, but the men opposite were so angry that they almost overturned the table and smashed the bowl.

"Shut up, everyone."

Chen Guang roared angrily, and everyone gradually calmed down, but the anger on their faces had not faded away.

"Ahem..."

Chen Guang put his fist to his lips, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "I have said before that if you want to eat meat, you must exchange it for gold.

"The reason why Miss Cui has meat and milk soup to eat is because she gave gold..."

"I didn't give them gold." Cui Hengyue interrupted Chen Guang's words in a calm tone.

Chen Guang: "..."

Does this stinky girl know how to behave? Doesn’t she know how to do things that benefit herself and others?

Had it not been for the order from above, he would not have prepared meat and milk soup for her.

Chen Guang was so angry that he bent down, put his hands on the table, approached Cui Hengyue, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You stinky girl, if you have something to eat, eat it quickly and don't talk too much."

"Why don't you tell everyone the truth, these are my rewards for helping you find the murderer?" Cui Hengyue asked curiously with innocent eyes open.

Can he say it?

Of course he couldn't, the superiors wouldn't let him say it.

Chen Guang glared back: "Anyway, whatever I say will be whatever it is. Don't talk too much, just do it."

snort!

Cui Hengyue snorted silently and dismissed it.

At this time, Su Biwen shouted: "Lieutenant Chen, what are you and the little madman talking about?"

Chen Guang straightened up and looked at Su Biwen coldly: "What did I say to the little lunatic? Do I still have to report it to you?"

"Of course not, but the little madman said just now that she didn't give you gold, so why did she have meat and milk soup to eat? You must explain this clearly in front of us all."

Su Biwen's words were recognized by others, and they all shouted: "Yes, you must give us an explanation now."

When everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Guang, a murderous aura struck Cui Hengyue.

The dining hall was noisy, and there was morning light and guards in front of him. Cui Hengyue did not sense the danger, nor did he notice a leaf flying over from the side with a strong force.

"Boom!"

A chopstick came quickly and nailed the leaves to the dining table, only three inches away from Cui Hengyue.

Cui Hengyue caught a glimpse of the leaves and chopsticks at hand, stood up quickly, and first scanned the crowd on the left, finding nothing unusual.

Then he looked towards the direction in which the chopsticks were flying, and found that except for Song Zhuoxing, who had one missing chopstick in his hand, no one else had any missing chopsticks.

There was a look of doubt in her eyes. A person who plotted against her would actually save her?

"what happened?"

Chen Guang stared at the leaves and chopsticks on the dining table, his expression became solemn, and he raised his hand to wave.

The guards rushed in and surrounded everyone.

Seeing the guards with solemn expressions on their faces, everyone looked stern and fell silent for an instant.

Su Biwen quickly glanced at Li Bi'er and then looked away.

"It's just a meal. Such a big battle would be too scary."

Runzhu sighed and poked Song Zhuoxing with his elbow, but received no response. He turned around and found that Song Zhuoxing's expression was very solemn, and his eyes were patrolling the opposite side like a hawk.

What is the master looking for?

Runzhu looked to the opposite side.

"Who did it?" Chen Guang pointed at the leaves and chopsticks and asked again.

"it's me."

Song Zhuoxing stood up and looked apologetic: "Lieutenant Chen, I'm sorry, my hand slipped just now and the chopsticks flew out."

"Slippery hands?" Chen Guang raised her eyebrows. Who can make chopsticks fly two feet away with slippery hands?

Song Zhuoxing's expression remained unchanged: "Yes, yes, it's just slippery hands, slippery hands."

Chen Guang stared at Song Zhuoxing's apologetic smile for a while, but finally did not ask any more questions.

"Okay, let's continue eating. After you finish eating, go back to your room quickly and don't wander around outside." After Chen Guang finished speaking, he walked to the open space in the middle and monitored everyone.

Su Biwen was unwilling to give up and brought up the old matter again: "Lieutenant Chen, you haven't explained to us what happened just now."

"Yeah, yeah..." Others agreed.

Chen Guang suddenly had a long face: "How can the little lunatic have money? Of course her relatives gave her gold, otherwise how could we give her meat?

"You don't need to be envious. If you want to eat, just ask your relatives to send gold. When the time comes, it will be steamed, boiled, broiled, roasted, stewed, soup...however you want to eat, we will make it and keep it for you to eat."

happy."

Everyone fell silent immediately.

Seeing this, Chen Guang's eyes flashed with a trace of ridicule, and he ordered loudly: "In half a quarter of an hour, everyone must leave the dining hall."

When everyone heard this, they immediately put away their sad thoughts and speeded up their eating.

After half a quarter of an hour, everyone went back to their rooms.

Song Zhuoxing called Runzhu to him and told him seriously: "From now on, you must keep an eye on Miss Cui at all times. Once she is in danger, you must protect her and not let her get hurt."

"Why?" Runzhu didn't quite understand.

"Someone just wanted to kill Miss Cui."

Song Zhuoxing panicked when he thought that if he had acted too slowly, Cui Hengyue would have died on the spot.

Runzhu suddenly realized: "Oh, that leaf is the hidden weapon used to kill Miss Cui. Isn't this person's martial arts too high?"

After a pause, Runzhu sighed with emotion: "The South Hall is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

After thinking about it, Runzhu discovered another problem: "Hey, no, if this person is so powerful, then Miss Cui has lived in the South Hall for fifteen years and is still alive and well, which means that her martial arts are not good either.

weak."

While looking for a chair to sit on, Runzhu advised: "Sanlang, you'd better not ask for trouble. Miss Cui doesn't need the protection of others at all."

"Stand here for me."

Song Zhuoxing suddenly shouted loudly, and Runzhu stood up with a "swish" and stood up straight.

"Listen to me, from now on, your mission is to protect Miss Cui. If she gets hurt under your nose, you don't have to come to see me."

Seeing that Song Zhuoxing's words were so serious, Runzhu finally took it seriously: "Yes, I will protect Miss Cui."

Song Zhuoxing's anger subsided a little.

Runzhu took the opportunity to ask: "Sanlang, why are you so nice to Miss Cui?"

So good that she didn't care about her own safety and sent her personal bodyguards to protect her.
