Chapter 389 Ominous feeling
"Forget it, don't think about it. I finally came back and told me what happened on the road later! The servants in the mansion will naturally go to several markets to purchase them tomorrow morning, and then I have a good meal with you!" Chen Xu comforted Yu Wuya.
Yu Wuya had no choice but to wash his hands and rinse his mouth. After Huangfu Que, Sun Shuji and others left, he carefully explained what happened on the way to Shu County with Shang Tu.
"You said there was another guy running away?" Chen Xu was surprised.
"I was too careless about this matter. The sky was very dark at that time, and there were many people on the other side and there were crossbows. The scene was in chaos. So when I rescued Shang Tu and prepared to chase him, it was basically impossible to see it, so I had to give up!" Yu Wuya said a little discouraged.
"I was too careless about this matter. Although Shang Tu's life is not guaranteed at the moment, it was not in vain to get his confession. However, Zhao Gao must have known that his assassination of Shang Tu has been exposed. I guess he will do some more impulsive things because of fear recently, which may be detrimental to me!" Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought for a while.
"He dares, benefactor. Don't worry, I will always protect my benefactor's side recently and will never give Zhao Gao the opportunity to take advantage of!" Yu Wuya's face instantly turned extremely cold.
"Don't be excited. I say this because Zhao Gao may have noticed your identity from the escaped assassin. According to Shang Tu, Zhao Gao had long guessed that you were assassinating him on the street. In this way, he would guess that it was me who was secretly rescuing Shang Tu to destroy his plan. He dare not blatantly to me now, but as the saying goes, it is easy to avoid hidden arrows and it is difficult to prevent it. This is not a long-term solution. Be careful recently. Unfortunately, the Shang Tu family is almost dead!" Chen Xu sighed.
"My benefactor, you are too kind. There is nothing pitiful about people like Shang Tu. If you die, you will die. Why should you be merciful!" Yu Wuya was very puzzled by Chen Xu's approach.
"Shang Tu and Ao Ping were only bewitched by Zhao Gao, which led to the destruction of the three clans and the family members. There are injustices and debts, so I won't talk about this!" Chen Xu shook his head.
Half an hour later, Yu Wuya came out of the living room and went to the kitchen to take a walk, carefully asked about the method of braised chicken feet and duck feet, and then called several guards over to give them a careful advice, then went out wearing a straw hat and carrying an iron sword.
The sky was getting darker and the curfew soon began. There were few pedestrians on the streets. Except for the chariots and horses on the palaces of princes and ministers and patrolling the lieutenant's mansions, there were almost no idle people on the streets.
The hot pot in the restaurant was chubby and steaming. The soup made of the strong bone soup exuded a strong fragrance. All kinds of hot pot dishes were served on the table. Chen Xu, Chen Ping, Hu Kuan, Sun Shujiong, Huangfuque and others sat around the hot pot. There were kitchen workers and seven or eight little maids serving each other. There were bowls and chopsticks and porcelain cups in front of each. Qinghe wine was also opened several bottles, but everyone did not move their chopsticks to eat.
"Brother Yu has been out for so long and hasn't come back yet. Could it be that he went to the garden?" Huangfu Que said, staring at the rolling soup stock in the hot pot with saliva.
"No, there are so many young ladies in the house, why bother to seek far away!" Hu Kuan shook his head.
"It seems that Brother Yu can't eat this welcoming banquet. If you continue to cook, the soup will be boiled!" Chen Ping was also quite regretful. He reached out and picked up the chopsticks and stirred it in the soup pot for a few times to prevent the bottom of the pot from being slurry.
Chen Xu was also very depressed. He had arranged for the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dish to welcome Yu Wuya, but unexpectedly, the second-hand man ran away without saying that he would come back when he would come back, so everyone could only wait.
Could it be that this guy went to kill Zhao Gao again!
Chen Xu couldn't help but feel anxious when he remembered what the two said in the living room.
With Yu Wuya's skills, it is difficult to kill Zhao Gao, especially now that Zhao Gao should be in his mansion. There are hundreds of servants and guards alone. It is extremely difficult to sneak in, let alone assassination. To put it further, even if Zhao Gao is killed, it is almost impossible to escape without any loss. Yu Wuya is a martial arts master who has obtained the authentic Taoist wise technique, but he is far from reaching the ability of Yi Sheng A and Huang Shigong to transcend the ordinary masters. At best, he is one.
Being ten ordinary masters, and among the guards in Zhao Gao's mansion, there must be masters with similar abilities as his. Otherwise, when he was assassinated in Xianyang, Yu Wuya would not have been seriously injured and almost cut into meat sauce on the street. There must have been many martial arts masters like him around the First Emperor. In Wancheng, Shui Qingrou chased Xuanwu Guard. Although he stabbed his opponent six times, he let his opponent escape, and she was also injured. This shows that the gap between the two sides is not too big.
This is an era completely different from later generations. Whether in court or folk mountains, there are various experts who cultivate their bodies and practice their bodies. The so-called martial arts and national skills in later generations were passed down from this era. After thousands of years, wars have continued, resulting in the loss of inheritance. In addition, the material is becoming more and more abundant, more and more tools can be used, the population is becoming more and more stable, and the threats and dangers of wild animals are becoming less and less. Therefore, fewer and fewer people concentrate on practicing martial arts. In the end, many inheritances are gradually submerged in the long river of history and can no longer be found.
It is good to be a martial arts master, but the difficulties can be imagined. Yu Wuya has been practicing with Chi Songzi on Mount Lu for more than ten years before he has the ability to be able to achieve his current ability. Shui Qingrou has only been practicing for seven or eight years, and martial arts are still far from Yu Wuya. It is impossible for Chen Xu to use his limited life to continue to practice and advance through boringly. Life is only a few decades short. Eating, drinking, meditating, sleeping and practicing, and he is destined to be able to survive alone. This is also the reason why those who cultivate immortals and ask the Tao have to hide in the deep mountains and forests to die alone. There are too many temptations in the mundane world. Just eating, drinking alone is enough to make Yu Wuya give up on pursuing the path of immortality and become a big foodie, let alone other temptations.
Although he was worried that Yu Wuya, the second guy, could not help but assassinate Zhao Gao, he didn't hear any noise on the street at the moment, so Chen Xu could only secretly pray that the guy had just come back from the door and couldn't help but go to the garden to find a woman to have fun.
"You go to the door to visit and see if Wuya is back!" Chen Xu ordered, and the two little maids quickly went out.
After waiting anxiously for seven or eight minutes, two little maids who went to visit the door ran back with excitement on their faces, "Mr. Marquis, Mr. Yu is back!"
Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where is the person? Let him come over and eat hot pot quickly, he is almost hungry!"
"Mr. Yu is going to the kitchen with a big bag of things!" A little maid covered her mouth and said sneeringly.
"What are you laughing at? Why did he go to the kitchen?" Chen Xu was puzzled.
"Mr. Marquis forgive me, I can't help it. Master Yu is covered in chicken feathers, as if he had crawled out of a chicken pen!" The little maid's cheeks were flushed.
Uh, what's going on?
Chen Xu stood up and walked out the door, preparing to go to the kitchen to see what Yu Wuya had fucked with the chicken.
"Let's go, go together, let's see what Brother Yu is doing?" Hu Kuan and Chen Ping also stood up and followed Chen Xu to the kitchen.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, the weather was cold, the cold wind was howling, and the lanterns hanging in the corridors and courtyards were constantly swaying in the wind.
A few people came to the kitchen, one step deep and one step shallow, and saw that Yu Wuya was indeed as the two little maids said, covered in colorful chicken feathers, and there was a strong smell of chicken poop on his body. A large pocket was thrown on the ground, and several kitchen workers were picking chicken legs of various colors out of their pockets.
Seeing Chen Xu come in, Yu Wuya said with a smile on his face: "Have you seen this? This big bag has more than a hundred chicken feet. You can eat it after it is braised."
"Where did it come from?" Chen Xu squatted down and picked up a chicken leg when he asked, and found that it was still hot, not only with chicken feathers, but also bleeding.
"Hehe!" Yu Wuya hugged the iron sword and laughed dryly, "I asked about a poultry trading shop near the south market in Chengnan. So I took advantage of the night to go around and found that there were not many chickens and ducks inside, only more than ten, so I forced the owner to sell me the chicken feet and duck paws in advance!"
Chen Xu:...
"But the number is wrong. Didn't you say that there are more than ten chickens and ducks in the future? There are at least hundreds of chicken legs here!" Chen Xu said with a dark face.
"Hehe, I haven't finished talking yet!" Yu Wuya's face showed a glamor, "More than ten chicken feet and duck feet are naturally not enough to eat. On the way back, I passed by the doorstep of a large house. I heard two doorkeepers saying that there were dozens of chickens and ducks in the mansion, and they also said that I was going to steal one out to cook for food. So I found a hidden place and found the chicken pen, twisted all the chicken necks and cut back the soles of my feet. Because I was in a hurry, I also brought some of my thighs. When I was braised, I didn't want to be the leg meat..."
Chen Xu:...
"Hahahaha, Brother Yu only knows one thing but not the other. The braised chicken wings are more delicious than chicken feet and duck feet!" Chen Ping, who followed, couldn't help laughing loudly.
"Haha, it's not bad. Brother Yu is just trying to get rid of the foundation. The chicken feet are good and it's delicious, but it's not as delicious as the wings. What a pity!" Huangfu Que and Sun Shujiu also laughed.
"Really?" Yu Wuya asked blankly.
"I dare not deceive Brother Yu. If you don't believe me, please ask them!" Chen Ping smiled and said unhappy, pointing at the chefs and said.
"Mr. Yu, the chicken wings are indeed better than chicken feet. Not only is it delicious, but it also has meat, which is very chewy..." Several chefs said quickly.
"Hehe, hurry up and help me braise these chicken feet and duck feet first, and then go!" Yu Wuya suddenly showed joy on his face, put on a hat and lifted an iron sword, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, then took a few steps, and heard a gust of wind in the darkness, and after a few pieces of chicken feathers fell, they had lost traces in the blink of an eye.
