Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"Come on, come with me, I'll go find you something to eat!"

Princess Tianshou still did not trust Zhao Yuan.

But after hesitating for a moment, she followed.

As for the reason...

Firstly, she was extremely hungry at that moment.

Secondly, she had been locked up in this military tent for three days straight and was nearly driven mad by the suffocation.

Thirdly, being outside always made her feel safer than being alone with Zhao Yuan.

......

In the North Shore Camp,

The tent where Princess Tianshou was imprisoned was not far from the camp of the cooks.

Although Sun An and the others certainly didn't arrange it this way on purpose,

But Princess Tianshou, who was starving...

Every day, I smell the aroma of food wafting from the side of the house.

It was indeed a kind of torture.

Zhao Yuan brought Dalibo to the cook's camp.

Because lunchtime had just passed.

After a hard day's work, all the cooks went to rest.

Not wanting to disturb them, Zhao Yuan casually took some mutton.

After cutting, skewer them with willow branches and roast them over a fire.

Although the baking method is simple, after sprinkling with spices,

The aroma of meat wafting out...

The expression on Princess Tianshou's face...

They went from disliking it at first to looking forward to it.

Seeing that the lamb was already roasted,

Zhao Yuan had just picked up a string of pearls, preparing to hand it to Dali Bo,

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out in the camp.

It's Qiong Ying!

And then there's Liu Huiniang, the girl who originally didn't get along with Qiongying.

For some reason, he followed behind Qiong Ying.

The girl seemed to have misunderstood something.

He stood before the tent where Princess Tianshou was imprisoned, his face grim, and shouted,

"Brother! Come out here!"

Why are you shouting so loudly? Can't you just go inside?

Zhao Yuan replied helplessly.

"Who knows what you and that Liao woman were doing in there! I..."

Qiongying had only spoken half of her angry words when...

Only then did I realize...

Zhao Yuan's voice didn't seem to be coming from inside the tent.

She carefully lifted a corner of the curtain.

Seeing that the tent was empty, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, where are you?"

The girl had just opened her mouth to ask a question when Liu Huiniang, who was behind her, sighed.

Helplessly, he tugged at her sleeve, reminding her.

"Look over there!"

Qiongying turned her head and looked; not far away was the camp of the fire brigade.

Zhao Yuan was waving the meat skewer in his hand at her!

......

"Brother, why are you alone in the tent with this Liao woman?"

Qiongying complained as she chewed on a meat skewer.

"You made me think you'd taken a fancy to that Liao woman again!"

Princess Tianshou was filled with shame and indignation upon hearing this.

But after Zhao Yuan's slap just now,

This suggests that Dalibo has realized something.

She was now in a bandit camp in Song territory.

The thieves here are not like the Liao people.

They held her in the highest esteem, and bowed and scraped before her.

Princess Tianshou was feeling depressed.

All I can do is put the meat skewers in my hand.

They treated it as if it were flesh of Zhao Yuan's body, tearing at it with all their might!

Chapter 235 Doting Brother

"I just asked the female guard to get her some food, who knew the two of them would go out together,"

Zhao Yuan said helplessly, "I can only bring her out myself and get some barbecue."

"It's all because of your usual behavior, brother... that everyone misunderstands,"

Qiongying pouted and stammered.

What's wrong with me usually?

Zhao Yuan looked wronged.

He was indeed wronged; now, on Liangshan...

Zhao Yuan knows five or six beautiful women, both young and old.

But of all those women he had a relationship with, only Hu Sanniang was involved.

Qiongying, with roasted meat in her mouth, mumbled a reply.

"It's because you always bring back a beautiful woman every time you go down the mountain, brother. After a while, people naturally start to have their doubts."

Look at her, her little mouth was dripping with oil, and even her delicate chin was covered in it.

Zhao Yuan chuckled and reached out to wipe it for her.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you!"

He was only doing this out of consideration for the girl; he had no other ulterior motives.

But unexpectedly, after he touched her chin,

Qiong Ying's face instantly turned bright red, and she muttered a complaint under her breath.

"And he always likes to touch me like that, how can other people not misunderstand...?"

"What's the big deal about an older brother taking care of his younger sister? Let others say what they want."

Zhao Yuan didn't take it seriously, but Liu Huiniang, standing to the side, curled her lip and said...

The Book of Rites states, "After the age of seven, boys and girls should not sit at the same table or eat together. Even if they are siblings, they should not be close or intimate after the age of seven, let alone you who are not siblings!"

"Seven-year-olds don't share food? What are you doing now?"

Zhao Yuan chuckled and said, "Aren't you eating with me right now?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Huiniang snorted, put down the meat skewers in her hand, and refused to eat anymore.

"Look, this place..."

Zhao Yuan gestured for her to wipe the corner of his mouth, where there was still an oil stain.

Liu Huiniang rolled her eyes at him, took out her handkerchief, and gently wiped her lips.

But as she wiped her mouth, something stirred within her.

But then he suddenly remembered what had just happened.

Zhao Yuan then naturally wiped Qiong Ying's mouth.

Thinking of this,

Suddenly, Liu Huiniang felt a pang of envy.

Although her father, Liu Guang, was a military general, he always admired the eloquence and knowledge of scholars.

When the three Liu siblings were very young, a tutor was hired for them.

Unfortunately, neither the eldest son, Liu Qi, nor the second son, Liu Lin, were academically inclined.

Although Liu Huiniang was intelligent from a young age and had a photographic memory, she was a woman, so even with her talent, she had nowhere to use it.

Although the tutor did not teach Liu Qi and Liu Lin much culture...

But he did talk about all sorts of etiquette and moral principles.

This caused the three siblings to drift apart from a very young age.

Liu Huiniang saw it clearly when Zhao Yuan wiped Qiongying's mouth.

There was no other unusual emotion in his eyes; he genuinely regarded Qiongying as a younger sister.

As for Qiongying, does she only see Zhao Yuan as an older brother?

Anyone with eyes on Liangshan would probably see this correctly.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

"what?"

While Liu Huiniang was still somewhat dazed, she suddenly heard Zhao Yuan's voice, looked up, and...

Zhao Yuan and Qiong Ying were both looking at her strangely, and even the Liao princess was glancing in their direction.

"N-nothing,"

Liu Huiniang shook her head somewhat awkwardly: "What did the chieftain just ask me?"

I asked, "How did you two end up together?"

Zhao Yuan repeated the question from before.

If he remembered correctly, the relationship between the two girls shouldn't be this close.

"How would I know!"

Liu Huiniang said dejectedly, "I was originally helping Chief Song calculate your harvest at Jinsha Beach, and then Sister Qiongying dragged me here."

"Sister Qiongying?"

Zhao Yuan glanced at the two girls.

Liu Huiniang is intelligent and composed, while Qiongying is lively and active.

Why shouldn't Qiongying be the older sister?

"Hehe, brother, I'm exactly seven days older than Ah Xiu,"

Qiong Ying said proudly, "Of course she has to call me sister."
