But Qin Shi didn't show it either. Within Ning Wuyan's field of vision, he munched on the roasted leg of lamb.
It has to be said that Zhangjiazhuang's roasted leg of lamb is indeed chewy and delicious, and it was not in vain that he almost got stabbed twice.
In front of the baking table, due to the appearance of Qin Shi, the originally warm atmosphere had some changes.
After all, they are Dragon Guards, the emperor's personal attendants, and even the officers and soldiers' eating habits are much more refined because of this.
"This is the first time I've seen a Dragon Guard exposed."
Shen Youchu stuffed barbecue in his mouth and spoke vaguely.
If Ning Wuxu hadn't been closer to her, he would never have been able to hear what she was saying.
"Maybe he underestimated the enemy."
Ning Wuyang responded with the same vagueness.
However, the phrase "underestimating the enemy" does not refer to Qin Shi being stuck in a dog hole because of underestimating the enemy, but refers to Qin Shi deliberately exposing himself and pretending to be greedy so that he could underestimate the enemy.
I think the guards sent by the Jin Palace were able to make their own decisions and let Hua Yi make fortunes. Although it may be because the people in the Jin Palace were acting erratically, the Long Wei who was following the old emperor had never seen anything. How could he do it because of a mouthful? Are you so greedy for food?
It is very likely that he wants to create a gluttonous weakness and use this opportunity to make him underestimate the enemy. He will think that he has the upper hand and then relax when getting along with him.
It's really unnecessary.
Ning Wuyan didn't know what the old emperor wanted to find out about him, whether it was Zhou An's death or the lost medicine book. In short, no one knew the truth about Zhou An's death except him, not even Zhou Jingxian who was involved. No one will mention this matter to him, and all interpretation rights of the lost medicinal books belong to him alone.
"Ning Shixian, are there any more?"
Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Shi, who had finished chewing a leg of lamb, stood beside Ning Wuyan openly from a dark corner.
There was still an embarrassed look on his face, like someone who had slapped himself.
"Brother Longwei, what do you call me?"
"Qin Shi."
Did you even tell the truth about your name?
Ning Wuyang didn't think anything of it when he heard the name, and gestured to an empty seat next to him that was suitable for observing him.
"Brother Qin Shi, you should sit down and eat. My place is not like a palace. The place is not big, and it is not convenient for you to hide in the dark. I have always advocated showing your fists to the enemy to avoid being hurt by hidden arrows. I."
That's really too arrogant.
But Qin Shi thought of what Ning Wuhuang had done before, and felt that this kind of publicity suited the young man in front of him.
It just so happened that he didn't want to feed the mosquitoes in secret, and as Ning Wuyang said, the place here was not as spacious as the palace, and it was easy to hide. Since he was very easy to be discovered by Ning Wuyang, who was familiar with the terrain, he might as well do it openly. observe.
It is easy for a person to disguise for a while, but it is very difficult to disguise for a long time.
Especially when the other party is a person with a flamboyant personality, and the people around him... Qin Shi looked at Ning Wuzhen and felt that this kind of warrior could not hide his thoughts, which was very beneficial to his surveillance mission.
"Is there any steamed buns?"
Qin Shi asked.
Ning Wuyang thought carefully and shook his head.
"Everyone in Zhuangzi is eating new rice recently. There are no steamed buns. How about glutinous rice cakes?"
"Try it."
Qin Shi responded in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and quickly merged into the fiery atmosphere.
The officers and soldiers who had almost dealt a serious blow before came to apologize with tea instead of wine.
Qin Shi did not refuse, and there was a lot of laughter in the yard. It was not until the sound of the watch sounded outside in the middle of the night that it gradually faded away.
After eating and drinking enough, Ning Wuchang and others collected the leftovers and went back to their rooms to rest.
Qin Shi, who was guarding under the eaves, waited until his guard Yun Fei had fallen asleep. He took out a roll of paper from his arms, took out one piece, took out an ink stick half a finger thick, and wrote on it. Today’s surveillance and escort mission content.
"No foreign enemies, no visions."
After writing the six words, Qin Shi put his fingers in his mouth and made a low sound.
An owl fluttered its wings and landed on his already raised arm, picked up the note he handed to his mouth, and flew towards the night sky with fluttering wings.
This owl will deliver the news to His Majesty's stronghold in Jinling to collect information from all parties, and then use flying pigeons to deliver the message to the capital.
And he must make such a situation report once a day.
Qin Shi thought that today had opened his eyes to the flavor of barbecue, and he began to look forward to seeing if there would be any surprises in tomorrow's meal.
He folded his arms and leaned against the pillar, squinting.
When a nighthawk flies overhead or a mountain breeze blows, Qin Shi will always open his eyes in time to confirm that there is no danger before closing them.
Such a night.
When the morning sun shone on the earth and Zhangjiazhuang woke up after being silent for half the night, Qin Shi heard someone's footsteps approaching and opened his eyes again.
I saw a boy coming to clean the courtyard with a broom. When he saw the stranger, the boy was stunned. After nodding in greeting, he finished his own business and left.
This went back and forth until around three o'clock in the morning, Qin Shi finally heard the sound of getting up in the room.
"Brother Qin Shi, do you want to change your duties and take a rest?"
The greetings coming from the room, even if they were falsely polite, still made Qin Shi feel warm in his heart.
But he shook his head decisively: "No need, Mr. Ning, don't worry about me."
Okay, then I won't care about you and treat you like air.
Ning Wuhao, who had already sat cross-legged on the bed and started meditating, asked Yunfei to go to the kitchen to get breakfast, while he used the Yunxi Gong for a week.
As for practicing in front of Qin Shi, he didn't intend to hide it.
There is nothing wrong with letting the old emperor know that Hua Yi taught him Yunxi Gong. The more he knows and the more backers he has, the more the old emperor will value him.
Daily practice, boxing, and after eating.
Taking advantage of today's cloudy weather and the coolness of the autumn mountain breeze, Ning Wuhuang decided to add some fun to Qin Shi's surveillance work.
"Brother Qin Shi, we are going to practice equestrian next. Would you like to choose a horse to follow us?"
Ning Wuyao sent an invitation.
Qin Shi shook his head and said with certainty: "As long as it's not a thousand-mile horse and the distance is one mile, I can react."
"Fine."
He also planned to let Qin Shi try out the feel of the stirrups himself, but it seemed that Qin Shi could only watch helplessly.
When they came to the grassland, they unexpectedly discovered that Shen Youchu and Mei Xiang had already set up a drawing board in the shade.
"Miss Shen came to sketch?"
"Yes, I heard that Mr. Ning, you are very handsome when riding a horse. I plan to draw it. I have been waiting here for an hour, but you never come... You won't drive me away, right?"
As the time to return to Beijing gets closer and closer, Shen Youchu never forgets his original intention.
She hasn't drawn an exclusive beauty picture for Mr. Ning yet!
It's just that Mr. Ning is too handsome and can't express his heroic appearance when he is calm. Although the animation on horseback is difficult to capture and tests her painting skills, it can show his youthful vitality.
After hearing what Shen Youchu said, Ning Wuhao realized that the object of her sketch was not the autumn scenery or the horses in the meadow, but herself riding a horse.
Looking closer, on the right side of the drawing paper clipped to the drawing board, there are five regular script characters written on it - Picture of Horse in Autumn.
The ink had been drying for many days, indicating that she was not acting on a whim, but had been preparing for a long time.
