Chapter 341 Notorious (Part 2)
That night Liu cooked two dishes and one soup, and ate with Shu'er in Bumeng Pavilion.
Shu'er saw that the two dishes and one soup were both meat and vegetables. Although it was a simple home-cooked meal, the taste was very unique. It could be said that there was something rare in the ordinary. It was definitely not comparable to Liu's cooking skills, so he asked: "Is this really true?"
Did you make it yourself?"
Liu Frank said: "I made it myself. However, I hired a very qualified royal chef to guide me to prevent me from being clumsy and wasting food. Speaking of which, the royal chef came back from the city and lived in a tavern. He knew how to do it.
A master chef who cooks Qi cuisine. He witnessed the Jade City changing owners three times, and was finally invited back to the White Jade Palace by me." Then he lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "When my grandfather conquered Yudu and the master chef escaped from the White Jade Palace,
I would never have imagined that one day he would teach his delicious Qi cuisine to the grandson of King Wu of the Song Dynasty."
Shu'er remembered the old chef who came back to live in the tavern, and even heard that he was the one who took the secret edict from Qi Yu King Xiao Xun and revealed to the world the hidden secrets of Liu Nai, the deceased princess of the Qi Kingdom. Shu'er sighed: "That old chef is
People of Qi, aren't you afraid that he will poison you and me, the 'dog man and woman' who betrayed the King of Qi?"
Liu took a sip of crucian carp tofu soup and said: "I have been friends with the old master for seven or eight years. During these seven or eight years, he didn't know that I was the king of Song Dynasty. Before the capital was moved to Yide last year, I went to Huihui residence alone to meet him.
I said goodbye and told him my true identity. If he wanted to kill me, he could have done it right then.
Early in the morning, you said you wanted to eat the food I cooked by myself. I thought of the old chef who had returned and immediately sent someone to invite him into the palace. He did not refuse. Just now I saw him in the dining room and asked him his name.
In one sentence, I designed to kill King Qi. Do you want to kill me to avenge King Qi?
Shu'er, guess what the master said?"
Shu'er had been immersed in drinking soup and vegetables, never raising her head to look at Liu, and she didn't even raise her head at this time, saying indifferently: "I don't know."
Liu smiled slightly: "The old master said that if he knew I was the King of Song when he first met me seven or eight years ago, he would definitely kill me when I was not prepared. But now, he doesn't want to kill me. I
Asked him why, he said, I have supported his family for seven or eight years, and I admire his cooking and wine. Today, he is no longer willing to kill me. He also said, as long as
If the people can live and work in peace and contentment, it does not matter to him whether the King of Qi or the King of Song lives in the White Jade Palace."
Shu'er said: "Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether Liu or Liu lives in the White Jade Palace. But you forced my husband to death, and I have to avenge you."
Liu looked at the gloomy Shu'er, and just wanted to talk to her more to ease her depressed mood. "Shu'er, I know what you are thinking. As we go along, you will have countless opportunities to kill me.
, but you just didn’t take action. The wound you stabbed me in the chest on Yilan Mountain Road has already healed. You still haven’t taken revenge on me. Is it because you think it’s too cheap to kill me with one sword?
You want to kill me? You want to torture me until my house is restless, my body is completely broken, and then you want to kill me to avenge your husband?"
Shu'er took a mouthful of vinegared cabbage and remained silent.
Liu, all this is just a drama of bitterness that I acted. I can only use this method to cover up the chance of life for Rongrong and my adoptive father. The only way is to make your family restless and overwhelmed, and the only way to perform is to exhaust the show.
Only if I lose my hatred for you, will you believe that they are dead. Only if I can't get entangled with you, will everyone in the world believe that they are dead.
Liu put two spoonfuls of minced pork and eggplant into Shu'er's bowl, and said warmly: "I'm very curious about how you will torture me. No matter what you do, I will be happy to do it and try my best to cooperate. Shu'er, my life has long been
Yours. As long as you are happy, no matter if you let me die or let me suffer alive, I will never fight back."
Shu'er finally raised her head and looked at Liu: "You and I have talked about everything before, but I still want you to hear some of my innermost thoughts."
Liu put down his chopsticks and looked at Shu'er quietly.
Shu'er said: "I didn't kill you with one sword, actually because I knew in my heart that you were not the only one who killed Rongrong. The Rong people attacked Shu and killed Congrong, and the Rong people also had a share. The king of Shu himself didn't
Go to Xiling to save you, but sit in Zichuan and let Congrong lead the troops to Xiling. Wu Xie also had a share in the death of Congrong. The King of Chu did not stop you from leading the troops to Shu, nor did he stop Congrong from leading the troops to Shu and causing death.
Lin Ying also had a share in Nong Rong's death. There were also those Qi soldiers who were surrounded by the Song army. Rong Rong voluntarily jumped off the cliff to save them. Those who killed Nong Rong also had a share in the Qi soldiers.
If you count it carefully, even I have a share.
As for my adoptive father falling off the cliff, perhaps it should be regarded as my fault more than your treachery."
Liu was puzzled: "What does this have to do with you?"
Shu'er said numbly: "When I made a private decision with Congrong, I asked him to promise me that he would not hurt King Liu of Song Dynasty no matter what the life or death situation was. He agreed to me without hesitation.
I have asked General Lu Hui what happened on the top of the Peerless Peak that day. Lu Hui said that Xiaoxiao Camp’s arrow array could not actually defeat King Qi. Even if it could, King Qi could have used a powerful force before jumping off the cliff.
He threw an arrow at the King of Song. With King Qi's martial arts, even if he couldn't kill the King of Song with one arrow, he could still seriously injure the King of Song. However, in order to save the lives of the Qi soldiers, the King of Qi jumped off the Peerless Peak with great righteousness, let alone
To hurt the King of Song...
Lu Hui said that although he respected King Qi's righteousness, he had to feel that King Qi was too benevolent and it was indeed difficult for him to achieve great things. It was better to give up the country to King Song.
But you all don’t know where King Qi’s ‘kindness’ towards King Song came from. If he hadn’t promised me not to kill you back then, there might have been another turning point in the battle at Jueshi Peak.
And the death of my adoptive father... actually has something to do with me. Before Cong Rong left, he told me not to let any Weiguo people go to Shu, including my adoptive father. Although I agreed to Cong Rong, I was outside the Yudu City.
Even though he saw his adoptive father with his own eyes, he did not stop him.
Calm kept his promise to me with his life, but I failed to keep my promise to him. Compared with my self-blame, my guilt, and the torture I endured, what I did to you is already
Please be merciful. After all, you saved my life in the Heavenly Prison of Song Dynasty, and you also saved the child in my belly.
Liu, I won’t kill you, but I won’t make it easy for you either.”
Liu's heart was filled with pain, but he smiled lightly: "In that case, I will prepare a table of delicacies for you every meal. Only if you eat and drink well can you have the strength to torture me. Since you treat me
Tell the truth, I'll tell you the truth too
