Qi Lu squinted his eyes and said, "You don't even see Lu?"

The medical officer was trembling and said: "Master, please spare your life. It is really the emperor who ordered me. The emperor also... also gave special orders. I don't see you... I don't see my master."

The medical officer looked very scared and kept silently observing Taifu Qi's face. Qi Lu was silent for a while and finally said: "Get up."

After Qi Lu finished speaking, without waiting for the medical officer to stand up, he turned around and left the medical officer's tent, heading towards his own tent.

Qi Lu's mind was filled with questions, what was the emperor doing hiding in the camp? Why didn't he see anyone, and why did he even hide it from himself? What was going on?

Qi Lu always thought that he should be special to the emperor. After all, he had done such intimate things, but the emperor kept it secret from him and even hired a medical officer to make up lies.

But then I thought about it, everyone does have their own secrets, and not everything can be shared with others. For example, I am not the original owner, but I have never confessed it to the emperor. Maybe I feel that it doesn’t matter if I don’t have to confess. .

Qi Lu thought about this and returned to his tent. He was a little tired and collapsed on the couch, lying down in a big posture.

"Ouch!" Then I heard a milky cry. I turned my head and saw that it was a little native dog. The little native dog ran over wagging its tail, rubbed against Qi Lu's side, and said to Qi Lu "Ooooooooooooo!" "The call.

It was already past midnight, and Ji Lin had transformed from an emperor to a little country dog. He had no idea that it was so easy to lose his horse. He thought that his plan was perfect and that the medical officer would help him keep the secret strictly and not say much about what he shouldn't say.

I never thought that the medical officer was a loser and had no courage. Before Master Qi could threaten him, he told everything and betrayed the emperor completely.

At this moment, Ji Lin was conscientiously playing the role of a dog's son, lying next to Qi Lu, nudging Qi Lu with his little head, arching his arms and getting in, letting Qi Lu hug him, wagging his little tail and acting coquettishly. .

The little native dog felt keenly that Master Qi was not in a high mood today, and he didn't know what was wrong.

"Awwww!" The little native dog tilted its head and rubbed against Qi Lu. Qi Lu felt that the dog son was acting coquettishly, rubbed his little head, and held the dog son in his arms, looking very worried. So he fell into a deep sleep.

Qi Lu didn't even change his clothes. He lay on the couch with his clothes on, hugging the little native dog, and quickly fell asleep. Perhaps because he just wanted to stare for a while, Qi Lu didn't sleep very peacefully at all. Soon I started to dream.

Qi Lu actually dreamed that he was attending the emperor's wedding ceremony. It was indeed a wedding ceremony.

The emperor told Qi Lu that although he liked Qi Lu very much, as the emperor of the dynasty, he could not have no heirs. The emperor's seat must be inherited by orthodox blood, so he planned to marry a wife.

At the emperor's wedding ceremony, the emperor also introduced his wife to Qi Lu and said with a smile that she was the widow's master.

The gentle and virtuous wife of the Emperor smiled and said to Qi Lu, I heard that the Taifu personally served the Emperor in the past and served the Emperor very well. From now on, as the Emperor's wife, I will have to ask for advice from the Taifu.

later……

Later Qi Lu woke up.

The sky was just getting dark, and the little local dog was ready to transform into the emperor. Qi Lu suddenly woke up. He was woken up by the nightmare. That's right, he didn't wake up from fright, he was woken up by being angry.

Qi Lu didn't even need to wake up, he woke up by himself, and this was the first time in his life that he didn't want to go back to sleep. When he saw the soft couch, he felt angry for no reason, which really added fuel to the fire.

Naoyang Jian came to Taifu's tent early in the morning to serve him. As soon as he opened the tent curtain, he bumped into someone. When he took a closer look, he turned out to be Taifu Qi.

Nuoyang Jian's usually expressionless face showed a trace of surprise, and said: "Master...?"

As he spoke, he looked at the sky outside, which was getting brighter, and then said, "Why did the master get up so early? But what's the important matter?"

Qi Lu's face was dark, as if the bottom of the pot had not been cleaned overnight, and he said: "Pound the meatballs."

Beating meatballs?

It's not that you didn't understand, what's the point of beating meatballs? It's so early in the morning, Taifu is going to beat meatballs, and he doesn't know what kind of meatballs it is, and it's so important.

Qi Lu was so angry from the nightmare that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he came to the dining room. It was still too early and there was no waiter in the dining room.

Qi Lu went into the dining room and found a piece of beef, preparing to make authentic Chaoshan beef tendons. The Chaoshan beef tendons sold in most supermarkets are not authentic at all, they are all soft and chewy.

Jin Wan, the truly authentic Chaoshan Beef Tendon Wan pays attention to the strength of the tendons, beat it repeatedly, and wish it bounced on the ground like a table tennis ball. This is the qualified Chaoshan Beef Tendon Wan.

For such chewy beef tendon balls, beating is the key.

Qi Lu squinted his eyes, holding a rolling pin in his hand, and pounded the meat filling on the chopping board. If Qi Lu was asked to make beef tendon balls on weekdays, Qi Lu would actually find it a bit laborious, not for anything else but

Because it takes too much effort, I want to eat beef tendon balls once, and my arm hurts from beating it. I can't be lazy at all. If I am lazy, the taste will not be right.

Things are getting better now. Because of the nightmare, Qi Lu was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he just hit the beef tendon balls.

The emperor had just returned from being a little bitch, and he wanted to take a nap. Unexpectedly, he heard the sound of "dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!". It was so rhythmic that the emperor couldn't fall asleep at all. When he opened his eyes,

Said: "Come here, what is this sound? But who is performing military exercises?"

The eunuch trotted in quickly and said respectfully: "Back to the Emperor, if you want to say who is performing the military drill, it should be... Taifu Qi."

"Master?" Ji Lin was surprised.

The eunuch added: "The people in the dining room said that the master is beating beef tendon balls, so... if the emperor feels noisy, I will go to the dining room right now."

When Ji Lin heard that it was Qi Lu who was preparing the meal, he rubbed his forehead and said, "That's it, no need."

Qi Lu pounded the beef tendon balls hard. In such a cold weather, he broke out in hot sweat after a while. Finally, he was so happy that he pounded out all the stasis in his chest and abdomen, and then he loosened it hard.

Take a breath.

As soon as Qi Lu turned his head, he saw a room full of waiters looking at him tremblingly. After all, Taifu Qi’s eyes and actions just now were so terrifying. He looked like he was whipping beef to death. Taifu Qi, who had always been gentle and easy-going, was exposed.

With such a dull face, he looked like a real person, and the waiters didn't dare to mess with him casually.

Qi Lu coughed, returned to his original friendly appearance, and said, "Everyone... don't worry about Lu, just get busy."

"Yes, yes, yes..." The waiters responded quickly and timidly, and then everyone returned to their respective positions to prepare for breakfast.

Qi Lu stared at the beef tendon balls on the chopping board. They had already been beaten anyway. If you don't eat them, you won't eat them. So he was going to make beef tendon balls to eat. Snacks like this are delicious no matter how you eat them, for example, when eating hot pot.

A few of them, dipped in old Beijing’s sesame sauce, or Sichuan’s sesame oil dish, or Guangzhou’s sand tea sauce, are all delicious. Beef tendon balls are probably one of the few delicacies that can combine various

Small stuff, I don’t feel weird about eating anymore.

In addition to eating it in hot pot, it can also be made into stone pot beef tendon balls, beef tendon ball soup for rice noodles, or even a beef tendon ball clear soup, which are all extremely delicious.

Of course, you can also eat it fried.

Qi Lu cooked the beef tendon balls, then put them on a wooden skewer and deep-fried them in a pan. The beef tendon balls cooked in this way are really crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. They are then brushed with a layer of small ingredients and warm in the mouth.

, not to mention how delicious it is.

Qi Lu made beef tendon balls and ate a bunch himself. The nightmare of the night before was finally gone. Sure enough, food has the ability to heal people's hearts. As he ate like this, he suddenly thought of the emperor's little milk dog.

You must also like this taste very much.

Qi Lu instantly pictured the emperor eating beef tendon pills. Thinking like this, he immediately thought of what the medical officer said yesterday. He was momentarily conflicted about whether he should give the emperor the beef tendon pills or not.

Qi Lu thought for a while and decided that he had to go to the emperor to report yesterday's death. Just in time to test the emperor, he made two bunches of beef tendon balls, put them in the coffin, and carried them to the emperor's tent.

The emperor has already woken up. He was woken up by Qi Lu beating beef tendon balls in the morning. When he heard that Qi Lu was coming, he immediately asked Taifu Qi to come in. The smell of beef and fried meat hit his face, so

"sharp"..

Ji Lin was very happy to see Qi Lu. He had no idea that he had already fallen off his horse yesterday. He smiled and said, "The master always brings fragrance to meet me."

Qi Lu secretly looked at the emperor's expression. It seemed that he had no grudge. He was just like every other day, he looked like a lively little fresh meat puppy, and his smile was particularly handsome.

Qi Lu put Chengpan on the table and said tentatively: "Lü heard that the emperor's old illness has relapsed. I wonder... how is the emperor's arrow wound? Have you asked a medical officer to check it?"

Ji Lin didn't notice that Qi Lu was testing him. He was so excited about the beef tendon balls that he immediately picked up a bunch and bit into one. It was hot and fragrant! The beef tendon balls were boiled and then fried, so the inside was tender.

The beef is not woody at all, and there are still a lot of tendons inside. It is tender and can hold the juice, while the outside is full of burnt aroma. The outside of the beef tendon balls is brushed with Qilu's specially made sauce, which is salty and delicious.

The outside is sprinkled with a layer of "chili" powder made from rhubarb, which instantly turns the beef tendon balls into spicy fried skewers. The taste is really addictive.

While Ji Lin was eating, it was very hot, and he said smoothly: "It doesn't matter if I worry Taifu, it's nothing. It's just that there was a sudden pain in the arrow wound yesterday, and I have already asked the medical officer to take a look."

When Qi Lu heard this, he glanced at Ji Lin one more time, not for any other reason than because Ji Lin had lied to him.

Qi Lu didn't give any clues. He lowered his eyelids slightly and said in a very respectful manner: "The Emperor, yesterday's death has been clearly heard, and the Marquis of Jin is under house arrest in the camp. Please forgive me."

Ji Lin was enjoying the meal, but he didn't expect Qi Lu to suddenly talk about something serious. He finished the beef tendon balls in a few mouthfuls and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Master."

Qi Lu said calmly: "As a minister, it is Lu's duty to share the emperor's worries."

As Ji Lin listened, he felt that Taifu Qi's tone today was a bit strange. Although he was usually respectful, today's respect sounded particularly formulaic.

Ji Lin ordered the Marquis of Jin to be brought to the shogunate's tent for interrogation, and everyone came to the shogunate.

Duke Zhou Heijian, Duke Guo Ji's father, Duke Quwo, Prince Quwo, Marquis of Jin and Prince Wan were all in the shogunate. Ji Lin came in with Qi Lu and said, "Bring the dead men here."

The Huben army quickly went to escort the dead man, brought him up, and made him kneel on the ground. When the Marquis of Jin saw the dead man, he immediately became frightened, kowtowed and said, "The Emperor Mingjian! The Emperor Mingjian! This assassin has wronged me!"

I was wrongly accused."

Ji Lin sat firmly on the emperor's seat at the top of the shogunate, straightened his black sleeves, and said: "Last night was really wonderful. I missed such a wonderful scene, and I feel very regretful, right, Marquis of Jin?"

The Marquis of Jin trembled all over, and shouted louder that he had been wronged, and said: "Sir, you can't just listen to one side of the story. This dead man is from Quwo, and he deliberately framed me."

Young Master Cheng smiled coldly and said, "Deliberately framed? It's you who deliberately framed us Qu Wo. That's the truth."

Qu Wogong raised his hand and said, "Cheng'er, don't be so impatient. I believe the emperor will make a final decision."

Ji Lin nodded and said: "Okay, I am here today, let's interrogate the assassin again. Who sent you to assassinate Duke Zhou?"

The dead soldier knelt on the ground. He suffered the "torture" last night and felt that his whole body was not well. He had not eaten prison food this morning. When he thought of last night's meal, he seemed to feel that he would not need to eat another mouthful for a month.

The dead man was afraid that he would be tortured again, but he had already admitted it anyway, and he didn't care about admitting it again, so he said: "Every word of the villain is true. The villain was sent by the Marquis of Jin, but not to assassinate Duke Zhou, but...

It’s to assassinate Young Master Wan.”

Prince Wan was sitting in the office of the shogunate. He had heard the dead man testify against the Marquis of Jin yesterday, and he was prepared today. When he heard the dead man's words again, his face was already quite calm, and there was not much trouble.

The Marquis of Jin immediately said: "You are talking nonsense!"

The dead man said repeatedly: "Emperor, the villain is not talking nonsense. It has reached this point. If the villain tells the truth, he will die. If he doesn't tell the truth, he will die even more embarrassingly. Why not tell the truth? It was the Marquis of Jin who instigated the villain. The Marquis of Jin said that the young master
