Chapter 295: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little confused
"Brother Xu, we are not eating for free. Everyone brought good things to share..."
The person who spoke was Yao Linzi. At this moment, he was holding an oil-paper bag in his hand, which should contain food.
"It's been a while since we've had such a lively time. Let's all get together today..."
The others also laughed and joined in the fun, and after they finished speaking, they raised the things in their hands, saying that they had brought food with them and would not eat for free.
Even Qi Siyuan followed the local custom and carried a bag. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Yuxiu with a hint of doubt in them.
"Brother Yao, what are you talking about? We are all very happy that you can come..."
Both Xu Yunzhe and his brother came out, and seeing everyone's posture, they understood what was going on, and hurried over to greet them.
"Everyone, please don't be polite. Come in and take a seat."
Yuxiu also reacted and greeted everyone, but this time there was a hint of unnaturalness in her expression.
Everyone followed him into the yard with laughter, put the things in their hands on the table, and without being polite to the Xu brothers, they pulled out stools and sat down.
Yuxiu glanced casually and saw golden roasted chicken, sliced braised beef, and crispy peanuts...
"This little brother must be Brother Xu Yunxuan, right?"
Yuxiu was just thinking about retreating to a corner to sit down when she heard Qi Siyuan talking to her with a smile. Before she could answer, he smiled at the others and said:
"This is such a coincidence. If I didn't know the situation in Prince Ning's Mansion, I would have thought that Brother Xu was also from Prince Ning's Mansion..."
"Hahaha...Your Highness is joking. If we had a brother like Yuxuan, we would wake up laughing in our dreams."
"My brother is right. Yunxuan is good at both literature and martial arts. It would be great if we were really brothers."
Xu Yunzhe and Xu Yunli said this without any burden, which immediately made Qi Siyuan and others laugh.
"You guys are just dreaming, I still think Yunxuan is my brother..."
"If he is really my brother, I will walk sideways when I go out. I don't know who dares to mess with me..."
"That's right..."
Although Yu Xiucai has only been here for a short time, he is decisive and efficient in his dealings with people from the Northern Di tribe. He had just resolutely jumped off the city wall, not only was he unharmed, but he also retrieved the head of the King of Shannan. This incident was deeply imprinted in the minds of these people, and they naturally admired her very much.
As the group of people were joking around, Yuxiu also relieved her tension and became much more calm.
"To reply Your Highness, I am indeed Xu Yunxuan. It is all because you think highly of me and are teasing me..."
Qi Siyuan saw that he was a little restrained, smiled and nodded, then pulled out a chair next to him, looked at Yuxiu and said:
"Everyone is telling the truth. Yunxuan, come sit here and tell us the details of how you killed the King of Shannan..."
"Yes, yes, yes... I'm very excited just thinking about it... Come and tell us..."
"He suddenly jumped down, and we were scared..."
A group of people started to make a fuss. Yuxiu looked at the stool placed next to Qi Siyuan, gritted her teeth, and had no choice but to go over and sit down.
After casually telling everyone about the situation at that time, two soldiers came to report that the meal was ready.
Everyone's attention was soon focused on the delicious smell of the food. As for the King of Shannan, he was dead anyway, so they could listen to the story anytime.
The smoked meat and sausage were cut into slices and piled on a large plate. The trembling fat parts became transparent, and the shiny look was very appetizing.
"What kind of food is this? It's quite fresh..."
"This is the smell, it's so fragrant..."
“It seems to be made of pork…”
The smoked meat and sausages smelled so good. Plus, these people rarely had good food to eat on a daily basis, so the smell was even more unbearable.
At this point, everyone stopped being polite and picked up their chopsticks to start eating. Only Qi Siyuan was staring at the smoked meat and sausages in a daze.
Yuxiu knew that he was most likely thinking of what he had seen at the Zhuangzi, and she couldn't help but laugh.
hey-hey……
Your Highness, are you confused?
Qi Siyuan was indeed a little confused. He looked at the meat on the table and glanced at Yuxiu calmly. A guess was slowly taking root in his mind.
What he was sure of was that when he went to the Xu family's farm to exchange horses, the things hanging in the yard to dry were called smoked meat and sausages.
He remembered that Yuxiu had said at the time that these things were kept for her own consumption and would not be sold to anyone else.
He glanced at the face of the person next to him, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
As soon as he entered the door, he felt that this person was inexplicably familiar, but he thought it was because he had seen him from a distance on the city wall, so he didn't think much about it.
But now that I look at him up close, he is indeed somewhat similar to the person I remembered.
But before I left, I went to see her specially, and that girl asked me seriously to bring things to Xu Jinyi and others. She didn't even mention that I would come to the border?
Qi Siyuan's eyes were on her from time to time, and Yuxiu was not completely unaware of it.
She felt the burning gaze and couldn't help feeling angry.
Even if I was recognized, it wouldn't be a big deal, right?
Apart from the fact that women were not allowed to enter the military camp, there was nothing else to blame.
Besides, what's wrong with her being a woman?
Didn’t he kill three enemy generals in a row and help the Yuan Dynasty soldiers defend the city?
The more Yuxiu thought about it, the more she felt that she had done nothing wrong. The worst that could happen was that after her identity was exposed, she would just pack up and leave.
It was also a good opportunity for her to go out and look for her hot-blooded uncle Xu Jinren.
After she figured it out, Yuxiu felt much more relaxed. She put aside her previous restraints, straightened her back, and started chatting and laughing with everyone.
The Xu brothers had already taken back the pile of snacks she had taken out to their own room, even the clay pot was taken away.
There was no alcohol in it, but she opened a bottle of soda and poured it in, thinking of giving them a taste.
However, it is not appropriate to take it out now, so they can only keep it and eat it slowly.
During the dinner, everyone praised Yuxiu in various ways, saying nice things to her without asking for anything in return, which made Yuxiu feel very helpless and amused.
She also understood what these people meant. They just wanted her to stay at the border and guard the city with them.
"If you don't want to stay here, you can come back with me when I return to Beijing. With your current abilities, you will surely achieve great things in Beijing."
