As soon as these words came out, the boss's expression instantly relaxed.
He chuckled and tried to smooth things over with a hint of sincerity on his face: "The spicy food has a strong stamina. I'm afraid it might not be to your taste, so I didn't put in so much."
Shu Li really wanted to use this method to win the favor of the people in the city so that he could find out more information.
So she didn't hesitate, just took a chopstick and put it into her mouth.
Surprisingly, the noodles, which don’t look very appetizing, still taste good.
The chopstick noodles were filled with wild vegetables and full of spicy pepper. The chewy noodles, the aroma of wild vegetables and the spiciness of chili peppers stimulated her taste buds.
I wasn't hungry at first, but after taking one bite, I felt my stomach growl.
Shu Li praised: "Your craftsmanship is really good."
"I'm not just bragging. Three generations of my family have been selling noodles in the city. When it comes to my noodles, no one will praise me."
Shu Li pointed to the table outside and said to Si Wu, "You should try it too."
Siwu didn't say much and went outside with his face in hand.
He understood that Shu Li wanted to have a chat with the noodle shop owner and let him look out for the situation.
Sure enough, after he went out, Shu Li asked the noodle shop owner to sit opposite him, and the two started chatting.
"How is your business in the city?"
"It's not all about living day by day, just making a living and barely making ends meet."
Shu Li put on a sympathetic expression: "When two dynasties fight, it will always be the people in the border towns who suffer."
"Oh, we were born here and grew up here. This is our root. This is our destiny."
"But this is also a problem that the emperor has to solve. Although the imperial city is far away from here, the emperor is concerned about it and wants to give peace to the people in the border towns."
The boss was feeling something and didn't answer the call.
But Shuli wanted to continue talking.
"The purpose of the war is to make the Yan thieves fear our dynasty and not dare to offend the people in our border towns easily."
"The peace talks are also for the people of our border city. They can no longer regard survival as the only goal. They can also improve their lives and live like the people in other cities."
"It's always easy to talk about it." The boss tightly grasped the sweat towel he originally put on his shoulders with both hands, but it was already wrinkled and disfigured in his hands.
"Do you know, noble man, how many years have the two dynasties been hostile?" The boss's voice was a little excited: "This has been the case since my father was a child. My grandfather, my mother, my father and even my brother all died in Yan Tie's refugee camp. In your hands. As a noble person, would you be able to let go of this hatred?"
"General Da truth has told us that continuing to fight will only kill and injure more soldiers. But if our city and the Yan thief want to coexist peacefully, we can't do it no matter what."
"I can understand how you feel." Shu Li blinked, feeling a little helpless about the plot of this instance.
The hatred between the country and the family cannot be measured by simple right and wrong, and it is also the last thing that can be judged and concluded at will.
It’s true that they are NPCs, and it’s true that this is a dungeon world.
But at this moment, being in it, who can say that they are not living people?
"Can you understand this?" The boss shook his head and sighed: "You are a noble person, and we are just poor people in the border town."
"The noble body is also a mortal body of flesh and bones, no different from the poor people." Shu Li said with a firm expression: "The peace talks are of great importance. If we can get rid of Yan Thief in one battle, then we can naturally fight."
"But if not, since peace talks are possible, naturally we have to take a break for the sake of the soldiers and the people."
Shu Li spoke again, interrupting the boss who was about to speak: "I know that you all understand these principles, and I also know that you can't get over the hurdle in your heart."
The boss's eyes turned red: "What you said is high-sounding, but that doesn't mean you don't care about our wishes.
Shu Li:......
"The peace talks are decided by the monarchs of the two countries. They cannot be influenced or decided by casual remarks." Shu Li looked at him steadily: "Even if I die, the peace talks will still be successful."
The boss's mood dropped instantly and he remained silent.
"Then, noble man, you condescended to come here to the grassroots, what do you want to do?" After a long time, the boss asked.
"Eat noodles." Shu Li smiled: "Just to eat noodles."
"Then please take it easy." The boss bowed and went out.
Shu Li saw someone walking up to the boss almost immediately and asking something in a low voice.
The only noodles left in the bowl were still warm, and Shu Li continued to use her chopsticks. She didn't have to worry, Si Wu would be outside listening.
Not long after, the two left the noodle shop.
The gaze behind him was still full of hostility and had not improved in any way.
"Your Highness, do you want to continue?" Siwu's eyes sparkled, making it clear that he had something to say.
Shu Li shook her head: "Don't worry, find a stall first."
Shu Li still remembers the sesame cake stall on the map. That place was specially marked. She must have something special about it.
But when Shu Li actually found the sesame seed cake stall, she was shocked.
The four or five people behind her reacted quickly and stopped in front of her. They drew their swords from their waists and pointed them at the sesame seed stand owner.
The other party was tall and tall, no different from the people in the city. But there is only one pair of eyes, as green as willows, translucent and translucent, allowing people to tell at a glance that they are not from my race.
"This is our border city. How did you, a gang of thieves, sneak into the city? Tell me honestly and I can keep your whole body."
Shu Li was just stunned for a moment, and the entire scene was completed within four or five seconds.
Shu Li looked at Siwu at this moment, and there was something else in her eyes.
He had always been smart and clever before, so why did he act stupid now?
The man he accused was wearing the most ordinary coarse cloth, even a little shabby, and full of patches.
The other party wore an apron that was already somewhat gray and black around his waist, and there were still traces of flour on his body.
It was obvious that this person could do business and run a stall in the city, so how could he suddenly break in?
Shu Li coughed slightly and took two steps back. At this time, his cleverness was more obvious than his stupidity just now.
"Boss, how do you sell sesame cakes?" Shu Li was eager to find out whether the other party was an NPC or a player, so he asked the first question.
The other party was also very kind and said: "Three cents for one, five cents for two."
This familiar marketing method allowed Shu Li to directly understand his identity as a player.
Shu Li frowned and said to Si Wu, "Go buy a pen and paper."
"Your Highness, you only have one subordinate by your side, how can you stay here alone!"
"This place is only a dozen meters away from the city gate. Is it possible that something could happen to me under the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city?"
"Subordinate, don't go." Siwu knelt down directly: "His Highness wants to be beaten or punished. My subordinates agree. However, it is absolutely forbidden to leave His Highness alone!"
