Li Xiuning stood on the city wall, looking at the Western Qin army camp in the distance, with a distant face.

Today's Tang Dynasty is also a troublesome. In the east, the army of King Shichong of Luoyang was approaching the border and was eyeing it. In the west, Xue Ju of Xiqin attacked the city and captured the village, destroying the dead.

Could it be that the Tang Dynasty really has sunset?

For a moment, Li Xiuning was a little lost.

"Your Highness the Princess!"

"Ah!" Li Xiuning turned around and saw Chen Ying holding a black ball and smiling at him.

Li Xiuning suddenly discovered that Chen Ying was very beautiful. Just as men liked to look at beauties, Li Xiuning, as a woman, was not rejected. She was handsome guys. Especially Chen Ying's deep eyes seemed to have inexplicable attraction.

Chen Ying said: "Your Highness, from morning to now, you have not had any water in. Should you be hungry?"

Li Xiuning said in surprise: "Is this something to eat?"

"Of course!" Chen Ying dragged the black ball with his left hand, clenched his right hand into a fist, and smashed it heavily on the black ball. Suddenly, the fragrance filled the air.

"This is……?"

"This is called Huaji!"

Li Xiuning said in confusion: "Beggar Chicken? How could he give such a weird name?"

"According to legend, a long time ago, a beggar was begging for food and wandering to a village in Changshu County. One day, he accidentally got a chicken and wanted to slaughter and cook, but there was no cooking utensils or seasonings. He came to the foot of Yushan, killed the chicken and removed the internal organs, coated with yellow mud and firewood, put the coated chicken on fire, and cooked it. When the mud was dried, the chicken was peeled off, and the chicken feathers were also removed from the mud shell, revealing the chicken."

Chen Ying said nonsensely: "I went to the Jiangnan Wangjiang Tower to get the essence and created this famous dish. In order to commemorate the beggar that invented this dish, it was named beggar chicken. Although this chicken is not good in appearance, it tastes very good. Please taste it with your princess?"

Chen Ying peeled off the black mud piece from the black ball to reveal the white and tender chicken inside. Chen Ying tore off the steaming chicken legs and handed them to Li Xiuning.

"Ah!" Li Xiuning reached out to pick up the chicken leg, but she did not expect that there would be no abnormal chicken leg in Chen Ying's hand, so it would be so hot. Li Xiuning screamed in an instant.

"It won't hurt if you blow it!" Chen Ying quickly put the "beggar chicken" in his hand on the battlements of the city wall. Chen Ying only peeled off half of the black mud, so he didn't have to worry about being unhygienic.

Chen Ying grabbed Li Xiuning's hand and put it next to his mouth and blew it gently. It is said that Chen Ying's move is not only abrupt, but also even more rude.

However, Li Xiuning did not object.

In Li Xiuning's opinion, Chen Ying is full of mystery. Li Xiuning's eyes when he looked at Chen Ying became more complicated.

Suddenly a strange scene flooded into her mind. How great would it be if the prince consort Chai Shao was half considerate of him?

Li Xiuning was startled by his thoughts, and Li Xiuning's face turned red to the base of her neck.

Ma Sanbao looked at Li Xiuning who blushed, as if he understood something, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Chen Ying did not notice Li Xiuning's abnormality. He blew more than a dozen times and asked softly: "Is it better?"

Li Xiuning nodded.

Chen Ying picked up the beggar chicken again, tore off a chicken leg meat, and gently delivered it to Li Xiuning's mouth.

Li Xiuning lightly opened her teeth like a devil.

Ma Sanbao pulled and pulled away the surrounding Princess Pingyang Mansion guards and the warriors in Jingyang Township.

Walking to the distance that Li Xiuning could not hear, Ma Sanbao lowered his voice and threatened everyone: "No matter what you see, if you are smart, just pretend that you have not seen anything. If anyone has a long tongue, hum, Ma San's fist will teach you to regret coming to this world!"

The soldiers were so scared that their faces were silly and nodded repeatedly.

...

The Western Qin army unexpectedly did not launch a new offensive. Every day, more than a hundred cavalrymen were sent to show off their power under the city walls.

Until the third day, Chen Ying felt something was wrong.

He asked Zhang Huaiwei to send more than a dozen smart Jingyang Township men to sneak into the Western Qin army camp to find out, but the Western Qin army actually retreated cleanly.

Chen Ying felt inexplicably strange. Although the Western Qin army failed to attack, there was no need to retreat. If some reinforcements were sent, it would be impossible to break through Jingyang.

With full of doubts, Chen Ying walked to the small courtyard where Princess Pingyang was staying.

However, when Chen Ying just came to the outside of this courtyard, he was meeting Ma Sanbao.

Ma Sanbao said: "Mr. Chen is here just in time, I'm going to find you!"

"Looking for me? What's the matter?"

"The angel from Chang'an is here!" Ma Sanbao said: "Your Majesty has an edict to General Chen?"

This angel is not the winged birdman in Western mythology, and the meaning is the envoy of the emperor. He is usually served by the minister of the little Huangmen or Huangmen, or the eunuch.

Chen Ying followed Ma Sanbao into the temporary headquarters of Princess Pingyang and found that a fragrant table had been set up in the front yard. A middle-aged eunuch with a white face and no beard was standing on the fragrant table.

At the bottom of the Xiang table, Li Xiuning, Xue Wanche and other generals bowed and stood with a solemn expression.

When the angel saw Chen Ying coming in, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an imperial edict, Chen Ying will accept the imperial edict!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying quickly imitated what he looked on TV and knelt on his knees.

Li Xiuning, Xue Wanche and others looked at Chen Ying in confusion.

Ma Sanbao whispered: "Mr. Chen, don't kneel, just bow and stand!"

Chen Ying felt a hot face and cursed in his heart: "Film and TV dramas are indeed lying!"

The angel cleared his throat and sang, "The Emperor's System of the Tang Dynasty said: I only heard that the rule of the world is based on literature and suppressing the rebellion and military. The army commanded the generals of the army at that time. Jingyang won the victory and used the peace of the court and the country. He praised his virtue and rewarded his talents. He was loyal and brave, and had good loyalty and courage. He clarified the atmosphere of the thieves and comforted the common people. This is the sincerity of the country, which is worthy of great use. I am promoted to General Ningyuan, and the commander of the army to guard the border, and used imperial edicts to reveal cloth. I have all heard that the inside and outside were sent to him... I admire this!"

Chen Ying was neither sad nor happy, and received the imperial edict with both hands respectfully.

Chen Ying's performance fell into Li Xiuning's eyes and became calm and humble, knowing advance and retreat, and knowing the general, which is really a material that can be made.

In fact, Chen Ying was already confused at this time. His knowledge of ancient Chinese literature was really limited, and he was basically confused about the meaning of this imperial edict.

All the brave men from Jingyang Township congratulated Chen Ying one after another.

"Congratulations to General Manager Chen Gao Sheng!"

"Congratulations to General Chen!"

After a long time, Chen Ying came to his senses. Li Xiuning was also holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand. It seemed that Li Yuan also issued an imperial edict to Li Xiuning at the same time.

Li Xiuning said: "You hand over Jingyang Defense and Xue Wanche. After the handover, go back to Chang'an with me!"

"Ah... back... back to Chang'an?" Chen Ying suddenly said, "Can you not go back?"

Chen Yingke did not forget that he had to hurt Su Hu because of Su Hu's desire to defile him. Although the deceased Chen Ying was the one who beat Su Hu at that time, this account would definitely fall on him.

Li Xiuning asked in confusion: "Why?"

Chen Ying thought about it, but still felt that he would not tell Li Xiuning about the details of his feud with Su Hu, so he whispered: "I will not hide it from the princess. I was originally a fugitive slave of Su Hu, the magistrate of Wannian County. If I returned to Chang'an, how could Su Hu give up?"
