The soldiers outside the tent waited for a long time before His Highness came out of the tent. Before the soldiers could stop him, the little soldier rushed to greet him.

Seeing the soldier, He Lian was obviously a little surprised. He lowered his voice and asked, "How did you get here, where is Nuo Niang?"

After listening to Zi's question, the soldier quickly whispered, "It was Nuo Niang who asked me to bring you cakes. She is still in the kitchen."

Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He took the food box and suddenly said to the eldest prince, "Brother, do you want to try the glutinous rice and jujube cake made by Nuo Niang?"

Hearing He Lian's words, the gloomy young man who was about to leave suddenly took a deep look at the food box.

"Jiangmi and jujube cake? Did you ask her to make it?"

Hearing his elder brother's question, Helian only smiled and said, "Yes! After all these years, what I miss most is Nuo Niang's skills in making this pastry."

When the words fell, Helian had already opened the food box. Looking at the cakes in the box that looked like mountain flowers blooming one after another, Helian was really in a trance for a moment.

The glutinous rice and jujube cake made by Nuo Niang also had the same shape.

The eldest prince naturally also saw the appearance of the glutinous rice and jujube cake.

I don't know what he thought of, but his originally gloomy expression only became more gloomy.

But He Lian thought that he also wanted to eat the pastry, so he just smiled and raised the pastry in front of his elder brother.

"Brother, you should try it too."

The eldest prince looked at the pastries, but did not pick up the pastries for a long time.

Seeing this, He Lian just smiled and picked up a piece of jujube cake, then handed it to his elder brother's lips.

The eldest prince only frowned when he saw this. As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, He Lian had already blocked his eldest brother's mouth with a pastry.

Then Helian just looked at his elder brother with a bright smile.

Perhaps He Lian was the only one in the world who dared to do this. After all, the eldest prince was famously ruthless.

However, in the face of He Lian's actions, he just took off the pastry that was gagging, and then said nonsense.

But he didn't throw away the pastry.

He took a sip, and the soft, glutinous and sweet taste spread between his lips.

The taste is indeed the same as the pastries that Nuo Niang made back then.

Even the shape is exactly the same.

Although he and Na Nuoniang only had a glimpse, at a certain moment, he still doubted whether she had really come back from the dead.

But it was clearly him who saw with his own eyes how the beast tore her body apart and devoured her bit by bit.

Now that the beast raised by his second brother had been killed by the young man in front of him, he didn't believe there was any Nuo Niang left in the world.

I think it's just a deliberate act behind the scenes.

However, he would not mention this in front of his younger brother. After all, he still needs this younger brother now. As for the pretender, if she really had ulterior motives, he would not mind letting her die in another accident.

"Brother, how is it? Does it taste sweet?" He Lian asked with a smile.

The eldest prince nodded, and then said, "A Lian, now is the time to prepare for the war. You should not worry too much about the personal relationship between your children. Now that Nuo Niang is back, when this battle is over, you will Naturally, we have plenty of time to spend together.”

"Don't worry, brother, I know it. Besides, Nuo Niang is not a meddlesome person." He Lian quickly answered his brother's words for No Niang.

The eldest prince didn't say anything else, he just turned around and left the camp.

After He Lian saw his elder brother leaving, he just asked the soldier where Nuo Niang was now.

And when he learned that Nuo Niang was still in the kitchen, he hurried to the kitchen.

When he rushed to the kitchen, Nuo Niang was standing by the stove holding various gadgets.

He Lian stepped forward and suddenly hugged Nuo Niang's waist.

When Zhang Lijin was so frightened that he moved his hands, he smiled and whispered to Zhang Lijin, "Nuo Niang is me."

Zhang Lijin turned around and saw He Lian. She didn't say much and only smiled timidly at He Lian.

At midnight, outside the camp, the north wind was blowing and the grass was falling. Put the tung oil there

The blazing bonfire was only blown on and off.

But inside the tent, there was darkness. Through the dim light of stars, Zhang Lijin could clearly feel the sound of voices outside the tent.

She could clearly feel that someone had sneaked in.

At a certain moment, she subconsciously clenched the hidden weapon in her hand.

But soon she realized that this was a military tent arranged by He Lian. When he left, he arranged for his own soldiers to keep vigil outside. These people were very skilled and alert.

Even if someone sneaks in during the vigil, they will not be able to make any moves at all if they are unable to do so.

So after figuring this out, she didn't move after all, and instead just pretended to continue sleeping sweetly.

The direction of the person who sneaked in was indeed the inner bed, and his steps were light and he sounded like a practicing master. But after he got closer and felt his aura, Zhang Lijin couldn't feel his caution at all.

So she just continued to pretend to be asleep, but after the man got close to Zhang Lijin, he suddenly put a cold long sword on Zhang Lijin's neck.

However, this was obviously just a test. Zhang Lijin restrained her instinctive reaction. She did not take action immediately, and the sword was indeed just a test for her.

Under her indifference, the sword was quickly put away subconsciously, and Zhang Lijin, who was originally sleeping, stopped breathing, and only reacted slowly to touch her neck.

Although Zhang Lijin's movements were difficult to see in the dark night, the person who made the sneak attack could clearly see the movements of Zhang Lijin. The woman in front of him did not look like a person with martial arts skills and alertness.

If she was pretending to sleep just now, but the sword was placed on her neck at that time, it is impossible for ordinary people to be so calm, especially from her later slow-down setting. It can be seen that although she wakes up easily, but at this level The vigilance is nothing more than the basic vigilance a female slave should have.

Zhang Lijin was obviously awakened by the Jian Bing. Without being convinced, she suddenly looked around.

Although she knew in her heart that the tempting person was not far away yet.

However, she still touched her neck and sat up. After a moment of hesitation, she only opened the gauze curtain and looked around cautiously.

However, as a person who had just been kidnapped to a different place, she naturally had to maintain some timid nature.

So she just opened the curtain and looked around, but she didn't dare to actually walk down.

It's as if the bed is the boundary, and this place is safe.

As an ordinary person, it was naturally impossible for her to discover that the tempter was still in the room observing her every move.

After a panicked look around with her naked eyes, she lowered the curtain again and sat there shivering for a moment before she fell asleep again, but this time, she only covered her head with the quilt.

After observing her subsequent series of reactions, the tempter quickly left her tent quietly and went directly to the main tent.

In the main camp, the lights were dim, and on the sand table nearby, the gloomy-looking eldest prince was deducing the attack in a few days. While he was thinking about it, the tempter just now came quietly.

The man was dressed in black clothes and a black scarf, covering his appearance very tightly. He only said in a deep voice, "My lord, I just went to test the slave girl's room today."

When the other party mentioned this matter, the eldest prince did not stop his deduction. He only said casually, "What's the result?"

"I tested the side of her bed with my sword. I feel that this woman is not a craftsman." The man directly expressed his conclusion.

"Oh? Can you tell me about this woman's specific reaction?" the eldest prince said casually.

That person then told the eldest prince He Rong about Zhang Lijin's reaction. After hearing the other party's words, He Rong could almost quickly deduce some characteristics of this person's personality.

He doesn't know martial arts and has a certain degree of vigilance, but this vigilance obviously has not been specially trained. Instead, it is just like a person who feels insecure in a strange environment.

Moreover, this woman is timid and frightened, which seems to be the behavior of ordinary women. No matter how you think about it, this level of timidity and frightfulness seems to have nothing to do with Xizuo. After all, Xizuo may not necessarily know kung fu, but they must be bold.

These two essential characteristics are attentiveness.

And her current behavior is just like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, giving people a sense of control that can end her life at any time.

But He Rong is a suspicious person, although Zhang Lijin's performance has been impeccable.

However, for such a woman who suddenly appeared next to him, and the woman's face was so similar to that of the dead Nuo Niang, this alone was enough to make him suspicious.

What's more, the woman seems to be deliberately trying to please her, especially the flower cake she made today is just like Na Nuo Niang. You know, this kind of cake was also ordered to be bought from Jiangzhou, Yongdi. The female slaves who came made him glutinous rice and jujube cake.

However, apart from being from Jiangzhou, the female slaves did not have much in common with Nuo Niang. Even the glutinous rice and jujube paste cakes they made were only in the shape of square bricks. I also asked the female slaves if they could make dot-shaped cakes. Jiangmi and jujube cake, but those people just shook their heads. They said that the glutinous rice and jujube cake was originally in the shape of a square brick.

Therefore, he could not help but maintain the greatest caution and speculation regarding the appearance of this woman.

After all, for some sophisticated craftsmen, this level of temptation is sometimes enough for them to calmly pretend to be stupid and just use their tricks to mislead others.

Thinking of this, He Rong's eyes only sank slightly.

The secret guard secretly raised his head and glanced at He Rong. However, on He Rong's gloomy face, he could not see any joy, anger, sorrow or joy at all.

However, if He Rong didn't speak for a long time, it must be because he had some calculations in his heart.

Therefore, the secret guard only said tentatively, "Master, you want me to test that person again."

However, this time He Rong unexpectedly shook his head, "No need."
