Chapter 380 Fire

The chef of the Princess's Mansion was a Liangshan native, but now these two are obviously from Donghua. Zhang Sanhua listened to their chat and got a lot of information.

For example, since they came, it turned out that the cook had always been lazy.

For example, the envoy brought more than a dozen maids to the princess, but in the end only six were left.

For example, I heard that the princess was not favored, and it took a long time for the young clan leader of Liangshan to see the princess.

For example, when they heard a few gossips, it was because the Liangshan people disliked the envoys, why didn’t they leave?

"I heard a young general say a little before. It seems that they have other purposes this time. If the purpose is not achieved, they will naturally not leave."

"What purpose?"

"I only heard half of the sentence. The young man was very alert and immediately stopped when he noticed me."

The two cooks consciously changed the topic.

"Tsk, you said this princess is pitiful. She lived a good life and was suddenly sent to this remote countryside. It would be fine if she was forced to marry the son of a small tribe's patriarch. It's less than a year since then, and everyone has died. I don't know what life she had lived before."

"You are still worried about others, worrying about yourself. Do you think those people are really dying of illness? It's not certain how long we can live."

"You mean...no."

"You have seen less secrets in the inner courtyard? Although this young patriarch is only one woman in name, who knows in private?"

After that, there was some gossip and chat, but the two of them had only been here for a few days, and there was nothing to say, mostly their own conjectures. Fortunately, they were quick-witted and quickly prepared the food.

While waiting for someone to pick it up, the younger-sounding cook began to complain again: "We were sent to cook for the princess, but now we have to be responsible for the lunch of the guards. There are more than 20 people, which makes us not have much time to rest."

"Who told you to take on this job to please me and give me food, so I can't rest assured."

"Then I don't want to give it to you. The guard who sent us told me that these Liangshan people were xenophobic and asked me to send some food. If people eat softly, they would not make things difficult for us. They didn't know that those people didn't understand the world at all, and they just threw their work on us."

"You said that these Liangshan people are really big, so aren't you afraid that we will put some medicine into the food?"

"They are not that stupid. Every time we deliver the food we send, we eat first. They will only turn on their chopsticks after they have nothing to do."

After listening for a while, someone came to get the food. Zhang Sanhua hesitated for a moment and did not follow.

The house is small, and the places where you can hide are smaller. The light during the day is sufficient and the view is good. Zhang Sanhua is really not sure that she can meet Huiqing without disturbing others at all.

After cooking, the two cooks started to make snacks and then started making lunch. As expected, they were just as they complained, and they were not idle at all. After lunch, they finally had a rest after eating. Another guard from Liangshan came to look for them.

"Follow me."

"Brother, where are you going?"

"You Donghua Envoy is leaving. The team leader will practice it for them and ask you to help make some food."

The two cooks complained in their hearts when they heard this, but they didn't dare to refuse, so they could only follow them obediently.

Zhang Sanhua's heart moved slightly.

The Liangshan tribe should be happy when the envoys are leaving. At that time, the envoys should be full of wine and food after the banquet, and be alert and relax. If the envoys want to cause trouble, it is a good opportunity to take action.

As the sky became darker, Zhang Sanhua walked out of the darkness and found that there were half of the guards in the house. She went to Huiqing's bedroom first and found that she was not in the room.

He must have been taken to the square to attend the practice banquet.

After leaving the princess's mansion, Zhang Sanhua found that there were almost no people on the road, and there was only one direction that was very lively.

Going closer, Zhang Sanhua found that there were hundreds of people sitting in the square, both men, women, and young and old. The people who asked her for directions on the road that day were also among them. After taking a closer look, Zhang Sanhua determined Princess Huiqing's seat.

She and Hanyu sat together, and their seats were very close, but they had almost no interaction. The two maids stood around Huiqing, but were very attentive to Hanyu to serve tea and water.

Huiqing's face was light, as if she didn't care about her maid's actions.

With the night and the wine and food, the cheerful atmosphere at the banquet became stronger and stronger. Zhang Sanhua noticed that compared to Liangshan people who indulged in eating and drinking, although the group was also infected by the atmosphere on the surface, it was actually extremely restrained, and only a small part of the food and wine were used.

The leader of the Liangshan tribe also noticed this and asked loudly: "Why don't the messenger eat more, but it's not to the taste?"

Someone in the mission stood up and replied: "Report to Chief Qiu, this is not the case. It's just that we have always been accustomed to eating only 70% full, especially at night to avoid inflicting food."

"Is this seven-point full?"

The tone of the Clan Chief Qiu was a little surprised, which caused a burst of laughter.

Some people in the mission were not very cunning, and their faces looked a little bad now.

The banquet continued, but the division still had no food. The leader Qiu looked at them with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Until midnight, the banquet ended, the crowd dispersed, and the delegation left and returned to their station. Nothing happened, and Zhang Sanhua was a little confused.

Clan Qiu also felt something was wrong.

"Did they really go back obediently?"

"Yes, the people who followed him saw them coming into the tent before they came back."

"Tsk, are they really just coming to ask for medicine?"

"Class leader, you just think too much. Princess Huiqing is in our hands, and she is still pregnant with Yusheng's child in her belly. Even if she wants to do something, she won't pick it. Besides, he still has to rely on our medicine to prosper."

"It's hard to say that Princess Huiqing, who was rumored to be favored, was married to her for the sake of changing her medicine? She didn't see him caring much about this daughter. She was afraid that he would jump over the wall and wanted to take down my Liangshan tribe and force us to make medicine for him."

"If the old man had a good temper, he wouldn't have agreed so simply when we sent someone to make a request."

Clan Chief Qiu was not that confident and a little restless.

"No, you go and call Hanyu. I always feel something is wrong."

After the banquet ended, Hanyu followed Huiqing back to the princess's mansion. When Chief Qiu sent someone to call him, the lights in the room had already turned off. No one was waiting inside. After the guards outside reported the message, Hanyu walked out alone after a while.

After a while, I don’t know which house caught fire and the fire became stronger and stronger. The left-behind guards discussed and divided half of them out to help.

Then, the maid who was originally in the room came out and asked to go to Huiqing's room to serve him. The guards were not allowed and threatened to kill him if they acted arbitrarily. The maids looked at each other and finally sent a representative to ask only one person to be put in.

After being asked by several whispered women from Liangshan, the guards could not bear it anymore, and finally let someone in. But the other maids didn't return to the room and stood in the yard.

About half an hour later, a guard suddenly ran from outside and shouted in a hoarse voice: "It's so burning. The young leader asked you to help together!"

The remaining guards looked at each other and were about to help. One of them suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

When the others heard this, they quickly drew their swords to warn them, and subconsciously blocked the maids.

The person who reported the news did not run away, but instead walked a few steps forward so that the guards could see their faces clearly.

"Who are you."

The guard was shocked. Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck and fell down.

"Tsk tsk." The person who reported the news was not talking in his throat, and he was only in his twenties when he heard the sound. "You will not lose if you regard Ye Weifeng's troops as a delicate little lady."

"Stop talking nonsense." A maid spoke, but she didn't look panicked just now. "What should I do next."

"Just tie these people up and guard the princess."

"What about you?"

"We? Of course we took down the entire Liangshan."

With a creak, the door was suddenly pushed open, and behind the door was Huiqing, who was neatly dressed in a princess dress.

People in the yard salute together.

"See Your Highness the Princess."

"No gifts, thank you all for your hard work." Huiqing's expression was still calm, but there was a thin redness of excitement on her face. "I only have one request, I don't care about other people. Qiu Yusheng, you have to catch me alive!"
