"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Su Xianxin said that the first step was successful, and then said: "Without further delay, I will go down and make preparations."
Nalanjie hurriedly stopped him: "Su Aiqing, wait a minute, I have an additional condition."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Su Aiqing is new here and is not very familiar with everything in the Liao Kingdom. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I plan to find a guide for you."
"Guide? May I ask Your Majesty, what kind of guide are you planning to find for me?"
Su Xian gradually became wary.
Of course, it is not the good intentions of being wary of Nalan Festival.
He was afraid that Nalanjie hadn't found the right person. Wouldn't it be bad if he found someone who was related to the mastermind behind the scenes? Su Xian's every move is under the surveillance of the other party, which is inappropriate!
"Princess Ruyi, Nalan Yan!" Nalan Jie said with a smile.
"is her!"
Su Xian was stunned for a while and asked Hot Girl to be his guide. If the process didn't go so smoothly, she would definitely be against Su Xian.
But then I thought again, Nalan Yan is actually not bad. First of all, she is Nalan Jie's biological sister, so she must be on the same side as Nalan Jie. It is impossible for her to betray the Liao Kingdom.
Secondly, Nalanyan is a princess of the Liao Kingdom. She is very powerful and controls the Green Flag Army. She can walk sideways in the imperial city without fear of any force.
Su Xian could indeed avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble with her help.
"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty for the arrangement." Su Xian smiled and cupped his hands, turned around and left after thanking him.
Nalanjie stopped him again: "Su Aiqing, wait a minute, I have one more thing for you."
Su Xian stopped and looked back, only to see Nalanjie take off a waist medal from his body. It was made of pure gold. There was a lanyard on the gold medal that could be pinned to the waist. There were also yellow decorative tassels on the bottom, which was very beautiful.
"Su Aiqing, please keep it." Nalanjie handed over the gold medal.
"This is this?" Su Xian took it in confusion and spread it on his hand. He saw that it was in an oval shape with the four characters "I am here in person" written on it. It was surrounded by carefully carved lace, which was very beautiful.
"Su Aiqing holds this gold medal. It will be much more convenient for me to do anything if I am here in person. Of course, the most important role is to use it to drive Yan'er. If Yan'er is disobedient, Su Aiqing can use this card to suppress her!"
Nalanjie's smile is meaningful.
Su Xian didn't think too much, thanked him and left directly...
After walking out of the side hall and returning to the post house, Su Xian immediately took action.
With the gold medal of "I am here in person", he mobilized a large number of palace maids, eunuchs, and a small number of guards, and then requisitioned an open space in the imperial dining room and began to build a brand new kitchen.
At the same time, preparations for stoves, pots, ingredients, etc. also began.
Su Xian has very strict requirements on these. The stove must be the best; the pots must be brand new; the ingredients must be expensive and fresh... giving people a tendency of perfectionism.
But he was in no hurry to find water.
He didn't bother Nalan Yan either.
After arranging all this, Su Xian returned to the post house and continued to develop the antidote in the room.
"Senior brother, we have the gold medal in hand, and we can also capture Princess Ruyi for work. Why don't we just go and investigate the wells in the imperial city? What a great opportunity."
Zhou Wei looked puzzled. He sat next to Su Xian and started the work of developing the antidote, selecting medicinal materials, weighing them, brewing the decoction, etc.
While Su Xian was busy, he shook his head: "No rush, we have enough time. Since it's a show, let's do the whole thing. It would be too obvious to go directly to investigate the well."
"However, we have to investigate the well after all, so as to alert the enemy."
"You are right. As long as we get close to the well, we will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the mastermind behind the scenes, but we can do our best to minimize the suspicion."
"Then when do we act?"
"tomorrow!"
"..."
Su Xian's opening of a new kitchen in the imperial dining room caused a tsunami-like sensation.
The maids, eunuchs, guards, and the melon-eating people in Yacheng didn't know what Su Xian was going to do. He was the envoy of Daliang, and he actually went to cook?
The envoys from various countries, the leaders of the eight major tribes, and the civil and military ministers of the Liao Kingdom were not so surprised by this, because the conversation between Su Xian and Nalan Jie in the side hall had already been circulated——
The reason why Su Xian opened a new kitchen was to use ingredients from the Liao Kingdom to prepare dishes from the Central Plains.
This means "the compatibility of Liang and Liao" and is prepared for the enthronement celebration ten days later. Therefore, the Central Plains dishes are equivalent to a "national gift".
It is not unusual for envoys from various countries to bring national gifts. For example, the national gift brought by envoy Nanchen was a whole warehouse of fireworks.
The focus of Nalan Festival is not the national gift.
It's about whether Su Xian went to Nalan Yan.
To his disappointment, it was already dark and the day was about to end. Su Xian didn't go to Yan'er... This made him sleepless. Could it be that Brother Su had no idea about Yan'er at all?
…
In a blink of an eye.
Time comes the next day.
Su Xian's plan today is to go to the wells all over the imperial city and investigate them one by one to see which wells have been poisoned.
This kind of task naturally requires Nalan Yan's help.
While Su Xian was enjoying breakfast with Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei, he ordered his servants to leave the city and go to the Green Flag Army camp, asking Nalan Yan to come into the city to help...
outside the city.
Green Flag Army camp.
The day's plan begins in the morning, when the sun rises, the sound of drills is heard, and there is an aura of striving for progress everywhere in the camp.
Nalanyan was wearing armor and looked majestic, like a female leopard riding on a tall horse, patrolling around the camp with her men.
"Report——"
Suddenly, a soldier galloped up on horseback with a loud voice and a long tail. After the horse stopped, he turned over and dismounted, bowing his waist and making a clasp of fists.
"Xu..."
Nalan Yanle stopped his horse, looked down at the soldier and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Reporting to the princess, Daliang envoy Su Xian and Su Taiwei sent someone to ask for an audience with the princess. They are waiting outside the camp gate." The soldiers shouted loudly.
"Su Xian..." Nalan Yan's tense face moved slightly, but in an instant she returned to her cold expression and asked in a cold voice:
"The noble envoy of Daliang sent someone to ask for an audience with me? Why?"
"Replying to the princess, I don't know what the specific matter is. It is probably because the noble envoy of Daliang has something to ask for."
As soon as Nalan Yan heard the words "I have something to ask for," her face immediately became proud, and she calmly ordered: "Bring the person here, I will ask him personally."
"yes!"
After the soldiers got on their horses and left, Nalan Yan returned to the Chinese army tent, sat on the handsome chair, and waited silently.
At this moment, she felt very proud that Su Xian actually asked her for something. Haha, she would not agree without showing some sincerity. She was already thinking about how to manipulate Su Xian.
Soon, the people sent by Su Xian were brought into the big tent.
Nalan Yan calmly looked down at the people below and asked, "What do you want to ask of me?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Taiwei wants to invite the princess into the palace to help the Taiwei cook and cook!" the person sent by Su Xian replied.
Nalanyan almost fell off the handsome chair, her face was full of astonishment, and then she became furious, banging the table and getting up: "What did you say? Let me cook for him?"
Some people died, but not completely...
