Chapter 347: Olena's 1 day (middle)

Olena didn't know that she was about to become the protagonist of the little

girl's writing. She poured the cold well water into the pot, then spit out a

flame to light the earthen stove, and waited quietly for the water to boil.

Although allowing her to live alone in exchange for freedom, it also brought a

lot of trouble.

Such as cooking.

It's not that she has never been to the kitchen. After the family's decline,

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 brother.

But she can only make toast, boil potatoes, and burn 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 Miss Yu to master the most basic Eastern cooking methods.

The water boils, the rice is down.

If the water is less, the rice will be dry and the rice will be made; if the

water is more, the rice will be wet and the rice will be 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 other than filling her stomach.

It's not that Daeqi has no good food. At least when she was in Gyeonggi, she

had participated in 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 within 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.

Without eating, there is no strength, and without strength, you cannot work.

Olena 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 also possible to revive

Okan's name.

"May the sun ** watch you and me, no matter where you are, you can bathe in

the glory 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 just awoke.

No way-hold 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.

Olena walked to the table and picked up today's work schedule to reconfirm 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-

this place 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.

Olena started to run towards the sea, her body swelled, and she soon

transformed into a dragon shape, spreading her wings and swept towards 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, this place has been one of Shenzhou hubs since the

Yong Dynasty, so its city wall and Jinxia belong to the same specification,

which can be called a strong city.

At this moment, this strong city ushered in its challenger.

Taishou Jiang sat in the lobby of the government office, calmly calming his

"guests"-they were the prefect of Anshen city, the magistrate of Qiulu county

Kui, and the magistrate of Puxi county Zheng.

The experiences of these people are very similar, basically they were first

wanted by Jinxia City, and then by the arrested troops to break the city in

one fell swoop. But even so, they were lucky enough compared to those

officials who failed to escape the pursuit.

"Don't worry, everyone, my men can see clearly that Ning Wanjun's troops are

only about 1,500, and there is still a chance for a secret attack. It is

impossible for a frontal attack to shake this fortified city!" Jiang Taishou

promised. "The number of people, we are five times the enemy; 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 right time, the

right place and the people are on our side, everyone What is there to worry

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 alerted, took precautions

immediately. 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, but 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 Jiang Taishou's eyes, 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 is 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 a thousand kilograms of gunpowder. As long as the

other party dares to enter through the gate, I will make them die unclear."

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

away. When the snow melts, it is her turn to suffer."

Just as everyone comforted each other, a strange whistling sound reached

everyone's ears.

"Have you...heard anything?" The county magistrate 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."

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This time ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the voice suddenly got a lot closer, it seemed to

come from overhead!

what happened?

Taishou Jiang was about to ask the attendants outside the door to check out,

but a guard ran into the house in a panic, "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?"

Taishou Jiang rushed out of the government office and looked up to the west-he

saw a huge black lizard hovering and swooping in the air, spewing fires toward

the wall from time to time. The guards ran away crying and crying, and had no

idea of resisting with crossbows. 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!
