The black-bellied princess plays the prince

Chapter 173 Meals
His words are very clear, if you don’t eat, you will meet with swordsmen. The three of us have no chance of winning against him. From this point of view, these people don’t even hear the sound of breathing, and their martial arts are no worse than ours. Chu Bo is a person I don’t know, and I have never understood him. Since childhood, in my heart, he is that A superior existence.

To be honest, I have always been a little afraid of him, afraid of his capriciousness.

Furthermore, I was really hungry, and I had never smelled such an aroma of food, so the three of us looked at each other and walked towards the table very honestly.

Inside the uncovered food box was a blue and white porcelain plate, painted with a pattern of carps leaping over the dragon gate, in bright colors, and on the brightly colored porcelain plate, there were slices of very thinly sliced ​​pink fish meat.

"This is a practice from the Yamato Kingdom. Use a very sharp knife to slice the fresh fish just out of the water into thin slices, freeze it with ice cubes, and eat it with sauce or mustard. , the taste is incomparably delicious, try it, Mei Luoshu.” Chu Bo stepped down from the step seat, walked up to us, picked up the fish on the porcelain plate with ivory chopsticks, and saw the fish under the indoor light Underneath, it is pink and pink, as transparent as jade, and even the veins on it can be seen very clearly.

He put the piece of fish in a small dish and handed it to me.

I was in a daze for a while, Mei Luoshu?
I haven't heard this name for a long time. When he called out, I heard it as if it was someone else.

"May I ask Your Highness, what kind of fish is this?" Ye Xiao asked.

I almost took the small dish. To be honest, the fish meat is so fragrant that I am a little bit obsessed with it.

Chu Bo put the small dish on the table, walked towards the chair on the steps again, and said, "You have all seen this thing before, how come you don't know about it?"

His eyes changed into a strange light under the light, which shocked me from the bottom of my heart, and I suddenly realized: "You are talking about those dragons?"

Unexpectedly, he not only caught the dragon that we hadn't caught for a long time, but also cut it up and served it up?
Chu Bo suddenly laughed loudly: "You call those things dragons? How can there be such a dragon in the world? A dragon that is slaughtered by others?"

I wondered: "Then what are they?"

Chu Bo stared at me with strange and focused eyes, which made me shudder and avoid my eyes.

He withdrew his gaze: "This kind of thing is just a kind of fish that lives at the bottom of the water. They are called salamanders, which are what we often call frogfish. But these have already mutated, but they have grown into dragons. It's just that this thing is very effective. Eating it can prolong life, keep youth forever, and enhance power. The emperor of the previous dynasty would really enjoy it. He raised these things underground for his own enjoyment. Those who take care of these things People can never go out of this underground, because this thing grows into the shape of a dragon. If people know that the real dragon eats "dragon" every day, the world will be in chaos. Later, the dynasty will change and the emperor will disappear. Those who took care of them escaped and left these things, growing up year after year, more and more, and finally the whole underground river was full of these things, they eat small fish, but if there are other things , for example, human flesh, they also eat it.”

I felt nauseous for a while and lost my appetite. I thought if these things really ate human flesh, wouldn't we be eating people indirectly?
Seeing that we didn't move our chopsticks, Chu Bo didn't persuade us. He just smiled slightly, "This kind of fish is extremely delicious, and the method of making it is different from ordinary fish."

I saw him laughing strangely, and my heart trembled again. Before I asked him, I heard a sob coming from the corner.

It was the crying of a child, naive and ignorant of the world, but it made people feel that he seemed to be watching his relatives leave one by one, and he intuitively felt endless sadness.

The corner was covered by a long case. I turned an angle and was surprised. There was a newt tied up in the corner. The newt opened its mouth wide and was breathing heavily, making several noises from time to time. The child was crying, and when I looked more clearly, I found that there was a big part of the depression on its back, which was a mark cut by a knife.

I suddenly realized how did the fish on the table come from, it was cut from the salamander alive.

"Why are you so surprised? It's the best way to eat this thing, and it doesn't die easily. If you cut it like this, it won't die for three days and three nights. It has the ability to regenerate. Cut a little bit of flesh and put it in the bottom of the water. It can't be separated." After a few days of hard work, it will grow back." Chu Bo smiled, "Mei Luoshu, why are you so timid now?"

But the painful cry of the salamander lingered in my ears. I have seen a lot of majestic dragons with bared teeth and claws, but I have never seen such a painful and begging dragon.

"The Empress Dowager Chu is up there and besieged by Li Zeyu, why don't you go up to rescue her?" I really didn't want to stay with Chu Bo, and I felt chills all over when he looked at him, so I reminded him.

"Isn't that old woman amazing? She will definitely find a way to get out of trouble..." Chu Bo smiled, "Why, do you want to go up?"

The master is still up there, and I don't know what's going on, but I know that under such circumstances, Chu Bo will not get involved. What he is best at is sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight. What kind of agreement was reached that made the Empress Dowager Chu believe him, but I guess that he and Li Zeyu must also have reached an agreement.

Since he was a child, he has been a person who is very good at controlling the direction of the wind.

His eyes swept over me like two rays of light that almost pierced me. I didn't know what he was planning, so I avoided his sight and inadvertently glanced at the two chefs. The chef covered half of his face with a mask, and wrapped his head with a cloth towel, but for some reason, I always felt that the two chefs had some eyes, and I couldn't help but look at them again and again.

Chu Bo felt my gaze and said with a smile, "You want to know who they are?"

I didn't answer, and scolded bitterly in my heart, isn't this nonsense?

Chu Bo said, "Look, she wants to know who you are?"

The two chefs flinched and hesitated to take off the masks on their faces. When I saw it, I was shocked. These two people turned out to be Meng Bufan and Yu Xianger. When they left, I remembered Meng Bufan's body. It's full of injuries, and he's getting old, but now, his injuries are all healed, and his face has regained his youth. Even Yu Xiang'er is no longer as old as before. They look like a normal couple now. young couple.

Yu Xiang'er cupped her hands to me: "Hello, Miss Yue."

Meng Bufan no longer had the arrogant appearance of the past, and seemed a little afraid of Yu Xiang'er, so he shrank behind her.
