Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 339: Orina’s 1 day (middle)
Orina didn't know that she was about to become the protagonist of the little girl's writing. She poured the cold water into the pot, then spit out a flame to light the earthen stove, and waited for the water to boil.
Although she was allowed to live alone in exchange for freedom, it also brought a lot of trouble.
For example, cooking.
It's not that she has never been to the kitchen. After the family declined, several maids in the huge castle couldn't afford it. At that time, she was the one who supported the family and prepared meals for her younger brother.
But she can only make toast, boiled potatoes, and burnt apple pie.
The method is to spray a small fire, a large fire, and the two are combined. It can be said that few dragonborn can do better than her in the fire control.
However, Qi Guo's food is completely different.
Those rice grains will only turn into a black lump when burned.
She still asked Ms. Yu to master the most basic oriental cooking methods.
The water boils, and the rice is down.
If there is less water, the rice will be dry, and the rice will be made; if the water is wet, the rice will be made porridge.
In the morning, according to past practice, it is natural to eat porridge.
Soon, a mass of yellow-white mushy food came out of the oven. Olena frowned and scooped it into the bowl, and couldn't help sighing-there was nothing commendable about this thing except for filling her stomach.
Daqi is not without food, at least when she was in Gyeonggi, she had attended court banquets several times, and she was overwhelmed with delicious food. But wanting to reproduce those delicacies is obviously far beyond her ability. In the East, cooking is also a secret. Only in the family will an heir be selected to learn the secret, and the only thing she can do is to sprinkle some fine salt into the paste to make it tasteless. Dull.
But you still have to eat.
If you don’t eat, you don’t have strength, and you cannot work without strength.
Orina knew that she had to bear the humiliation for the family. Even if he can't exchange his merits as an ambassador, as long as his younger brother can be promising and perform well in the academy, it is equally possible to revive Okan's name.
"May the sun **** watch you and me, no matter where you are, you can bathe in the brilliance of Hera."
After praying as usual, Olena took a deep breath and swallowed the breakfast in front of her.
For some reason, she remembered the bowl of pork bone soup she had eaten when she just woke up.
No way-hold it back.
She suppressed her urge to use the deposit to hire a cook or housekeeper, and patted her cheek hard.
The money must be sent back to the Holy Wing Islands, and no one or two silvers are missing.
Orina walked to the table, picked up today's work schedule and reconfirmed the content - it was close to the hour, which was nine o'clock in the morning, and it was almost time to start.
She locked the door, left the house, and headed north along the street. After exiting the city from the north gate, she continued to walk east for a while-it was close to the entrance of the inland river, although not far from the city wall, there were no signs of human activity in the surrounding area.
Orina began to run towards the sea, her body swelled, and she soon transformed into a dragon shape, spreading her wings and swept toward the sea. She kept flying at this altitude for about a quarter of an hour, until she left Jinxia City far behind, she suddenly raised her altitude, turned her head and flew towards the northwest of Shenzhou.
……
Shenzhou, Baihe City.
This is also the last big city in Shenzhou to be ranked high. It is located at the intersection of the Baihe and Qujiang rivers. The surrounding terrain is open and separated by currents, which is not suitable for large army gatherings. In addition, it has been one of the Shenzhou hubs since the Yong Dynasty, so its city wall and Jinxia belong to the same specifications, which can be called a strong city.
At this moment, this strong city welcomes its challengers.
Premier Jiang sat in the lobby of the government office, calmly calming his "guests"—they were Master Prefect of Anshen City, Master Kui of Qiulu County, and Majesty Zheng of Puxi County.
The experiences of these people are very similar. Basically, they were first wanted by Jinxia City, and then the arrested troops broke the city in one fell swoop. But even so, they are already lucky enough compared to those officials who have not escaped the pursuit.
"Don't worry, everyone, my men can see clearly that Ning Wanjun's army has only about 1,500 people. There is still a chance for a secret attack. It is impossible for a frontal attack to shake this strong city!" Jiang The Taishou promised and said, "We are five times the number of enemies; the terrain, we guard according to the city; as for this day...Without supplements, it is impossible for them to fight for a long time in the snow! The time, the place and the people are all with me. Fang, what are you worried about?"
This is not a lie.
The news that Princess Guangping is conspiring to attack opponents in Shenzhou has spread, and Taishou Jiang, who has been warned, has taken precautions for the first time. He not only recruited people from the surrounding counties and towns to repair the fortifications in the city, but also spent money to recruit a large group of soldiers to step up training. He didn't expect them to take the initiative and only needed to keep the wall. In addition to the servants and guards carried by other officials who fled to White River City, the defensive power in the city suddenly increased several times, including slings, bed crossbows, ladder trucks, and hot oil basins. Even if the Shenzhou garrison is changed to attack the city, I am afraid that it will not get much benefit.
In the eyes of Taishou Jiang, the princess was always too arrogant. If she first dealt with big cities like Baihe and Anshen, how could they have time to react?
"But the other party has a behemoth..." Master Wei of Anshen City was still a little worried, "The thing is invulnerable, and the arrow is difficult to damage. As long as the city gate is broken, it will be difficult for thousands of people to stop it."
"I have already prepared for this." Jiang Taishou sneered. "Under the four city gates, I have buried gunpowder thousands of kilograms. As long as the other party dares to enter through the gate, I will tell them to die unclearly."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions could not help but recover a little.
"I really hope that the imperial court can release troops early and restore order in Shenzhou."
"The princess only dared to act so recklessly while the Shenzhou garrison was not there. When the snow melted, it was her turn to suffer."
Just as everyone comforted each other, a weird scream reached everyone's ears.
"Have you...heard anything?" County Majesty Zheng was already a frightened bird. Now Ning Wanjun's troops are gathered in the city, and any noise will make him frightened.
"Is the eagle calling?"
"It's not like it, it feels much dull... I guess it's the wind."
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now
This time ~IndoMTL.com~ the voice suddenly got a lot closer, and it seemed to come from overhead!
What's the matter?
Jiang Taishou was about to call the attendants outside the door to find out, but a guard ran into the house in a panic, "Tai, Master Taishou, no, it's not good!"
"What's wrong? Tell me more clearly!" The prefect was shocked and pretended to be calm.
"There are flying four-legged monsters in the sky, trebuchets and bed crossbows attacking our west wall!"
"A flying...monster?"
Jiang Taishou rushed out of the government office and looked up to the west-he saw a huge black lizard hovering and swooping in the air, bursting out flames against the wall from time to time. The guards ran away crying and crying, and had no idea of resisting with a crossbow. The flames not only ignited the defensive equipment, but also spread to the boiling oil. When the grease dripped from the overturned copper basin, the raging fire could no longer be controlled.
In less than a quarter of an hour, half of the wall of White River City has fallen into flames!
