Reborn with super powers: The general wants to repay his kindness

After removing the fire, Li Cheng smashed the dried mud into pieces. Because the bottom was wrapped in lotus leaves, there was no need to worry about the mud falling in and contaminating the food. When the lotus leaves were uncovered, the rich fragrance wafted out, and even those who kept watching The two servants at the stove didn't expect that they were guarding such fragrant food, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they smelled it.

"Smells! It smells so good! I have never smelled such a fragrance in the palace. Come on, bring the bowl over and let me taste it first!" the sixth prince said impatiently.

Because it was too hot, Lu Yanzhao stopped Li Cheng, took a large spoon and fished out a bowl from the jar, then handed it to Li Cheng. The sixth prince and Shang Yilan could only stare.

The second bowl did not fall into their hands. Instead, Lu Yanzhao stood up and left the stove while holding it. The Sixth Prince glared at him angrily and didn't care to say anything. He just put up his sleeves and didn't need any servants to wait on him. He started to scoop out the food from the jar, and asked Li Cheng: "Miss Li, what is the name of this dish?"

"Tell the Buddha to jump over the wall."

"Huh? Is there any allusion?"

The origin of this name is probably known to many people in that time and space. The names and dynasties in the story have been covered up, and all are replaced by legends. "The altar is opened and the fragrance of meat is spread everywhere. The Buddha heard that he abandoned his Zen and jumped over the wall." This explains the origin of the name of the dish. That speaks volumes about the taste of this dish.

After this allusion reached the ears of Emperor Changde, he became more convinced that Li Cheng had been taught by an elusive outsider before. Of course, this was a later story.

The jar was large enough, and there was a lot of food in it. Eunuch Li, the two palace attendants, Wen Tuo and others all tasted a small bowl and were very satisfied.

Because the prepared ingredients were sufficient and there were still some leftovers, Li Cheng made some more.

The sixth prince wiped his mouth and said, "Make a smaller jar. After it's cooked, I'll have someone take it to the palace quickly so that my father can have a taste."

"That's easy to say!" Li Cheng also spoke very well and responded immediately.

In the end, even the soup and water were divided, and she ate it cleanly. Xiaobai, who was drooling next to her, also shared a lot. Li Cheng was about to get up and take him for a walk in the garden to eat, when someone hurried in. , after bowing, he said to Li Cheng: "There is a man outside who calls himself Wu Xiong. He comes from Qingyi Town, Dechang County, and he wants to see Miss Li urgently."

"Wu Xiong?" Li Cheng's first reaction was that something happened in Zhengyang Village or the town's tavern, which made Wu Xiong come here instead of sending someone else to deliver the message. He said quickly: "Hurry and tell him to come in."

"Yes." The concierge turned around and went out to invite someone. Unexpectedly, the tall and rough man really recognized Miss Li. At first, he thought she was a liar.

A few people were drinking tea and talking in the front hall, and soon footsteps sounded outside.I saw Wu Xiong, with a dusty beard and a shaggy beard, walking over with the servant just now. If he hadn't said anything, he would have thought it was a bandit who came from somewhere.

Wu Xiong had a fierce look on his face, but when he walked into the Marquis's mansion, he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Except for necessary interest ties, these people who live in the world are completely separate from the people in the officialdom and do not interfere with each other.For those who led troops and held power like Marquis Dingguo, their status was indeed somewhat similar to that of thieves.

How can a thief not be afraid when he sees a soldier?

When he looked up and saw Marquis Dingguo sitting on the main seat, Wu Xiong's legs softened and he knelt down: "The little man Wu Xiong kowtows to Lord Marquis, and the little man kowtows to Miss Li."

"Get up quickly. Let's have a drink of tea and rest first." Li Cheng hurriedly asked him to get up.

"Thank you, Miss Li." Wu Xiong stood up nervously and smiled gratefully at Li Cheng, but the smile was very stiff. He carefully sat on the edge of the chair. Before he could sit firmly, someone came to serve tea. Wu Xiong jumped up as if there were bug bites under his buttocks, startling even the sixth prince Shang Yilan who was watching the show.

Wu Xiong also reacted at this moment. He remembered that he was delivering a letter for Brother Wei and that things had to be prioritized. He didn't dare to drink tea anymore. He quickly took out a cloth bag from his arms and took out the letter wrapped in several layers of oil paper. , sent to Li Cheng: "Miss Li, not long ago, some people from the capital went to Zhengyang Village to sneak into Lijiazhuang with evil intentions. Fortunately, Brother Wei took precautions in time and captured them all. This is the confession that Brother Wei got from the trial. There is also a letter written by Brother Wei."

"What?!" Sixth Prince and Shang Yilan said in unison.

Wu Xiong was startled, looking at Lu Yanzhao's green and black face, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down. Marquis Dingguo's power over him was too strong, and he would panic at the slightest sign of trouble.

Li Cheng didn't say anything. He opened the envelope and found Wei Yuan's autographed letter. He read it first and put the confession aside. The atmosphere in the living room was also very solemn and depressing. After the previous joy was gone, Xiaobai squatted quietly. next to.

Li Cheng glanced at ten lines and quickly read the letter. Wei Yuan's letter was clear and organized.

Li Cheng was very surprised. No wonder the entire Li family in Anqing County was missing. However, what they did was too bold.

Seeing the curious expressions on the other people's faces, Li Cheng handed the letter to them to read.There is no secret in it, and since it involves the palace, it needs to be told.

After reading the letters and confessions, several people exchanged words and didn't know what to say for a while. They all thought it was a bit ridiculous.

Lu Yanzhao said to Li Cheng thoughtfully, "No wonder the queen looked like that when she saw you that day."

Li Cheng also sighed: "I never imagined that my grandmother would have such a life experience. When my mother passed away, she didn't mention it. She only said that the jade pendant was passed down by her grandmother. In the end, Li Qi snatched it and it was put to such a use. . But if it weren’t for her, I probably wouldn’t have known that there was such a story about that thing.”

The Sixth Prince and Shang Yilan also looked at each other with astonishment. Naturally, they also heard that Duke Chengen had a family relationship a few days ago. They thought what kind of family they were, but unexpectedly they were related to Li Cheng. , and also stole other people's identities to occupy the magpie's nest.

Lu Yanzhao put down the confession in his hand. He didn't have any doubts about the results of Wei Yuan's interrogation.He felt sorry for Li Cheng and was angry that he would have such a relative.

Lu Yanzhao looked at Li Cheng worriedly and saw that she looked the calmest among them.

Li Cheng looked over, smiled when he saw this, and said, "It is my grandmother who should recognize this relative. I don't have much feeling about it. Besides, my grandmother didn't ask my grandfather to go find the relatives."

The queen has a close relationship with her grandmother, but that doesn't mean she will miss her as a descendant two generations apart.Decades have passed since the incident. If this incident had not occurred, there would not have been any waves.

"It's just...how could Duke Cheng'en just let them say whatever they wanted with a piece of jade pendant? This matter still needs to be investigated in detail." Li Cheng's own refusal and others' forced possession are two different things.
