Chapter 24 A thought of life and death

Gongsun Ce touched the ox's head and decided to kill it.

It is impossible to hunt, so we can only use local materials to fill our stomachs.

Gongsun Ce raised his knife and cut off the bull's head with it. Then he cut the steak and started to grill the meat.

While grilling, Gongsun Ce realized a problem: there was no seasoning!
Gongsun Ce looked around and found wild chive flowers on the roadside, which provided him with seasoning.

Gongsun Ce crushed the wild chive flowers and spread them on the steak as a seasoning.

The aroma of meat attracted some special guests to Gongsun Ce - the Baiyue refugees.

The Baiyue refugees had lost their homes and their country, and no country was willing to take them in, so they looked pale and thin, with tattered clothes.

Everyone stared at the steaks and the remaining beef that Gongsun Ce was grilling, with green light in their eyes.

However, little Mimi had just finished eating and was staring at the group of refugees that had suddenly appeared.

This put the refugees in a dilemma, as most of them had not eaten for many days.

Even if there is a bucket of slop in front of them, they can eat it with relish, let alone beef.

Gongsun Ce nibbled slowly and leisurely at the steak in front of him, completely ignoring the eager gazes of the refugees around him.

Gongsun Ce claimed that he was not a good person, and it was even more impossible for him to invite these refugees to eat with him.

However, Gongsun Ce was willing to give them a chance. Before the city gates were opened, if they had no intention of taking action, the leftovers could be left to the refugees to deal with.

As time passed, the sickle-weasel's swallowing and belly rumbling sounds were transmitted back to Gongsun Ce's ears, but Gongsun Ce ignored it.

He just slowed down the pace of eating the beef and put on an expression of enjoyment on his face.

Gongsun Ce is increasing the difficulty of the test. It all depends on whether these refugees can hold on. Life and death depends on their thoughts.

The sky gradually turned pale, and soon the city gate opened. Gongsun Ce patted Little Mimi to signal it to leave, and Gongsun Ce entered the city with the cart.

After Gongsun Ce left, the Baiyue refugees rushed forward and started scrambling for the beef, whether it was raw or not.

Ever since the use of fire, everyone knows that eating raw meat is not good, but these refugees don’t care about that. Being able to live one more day is already a great blessing.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After entering Zilanxuan, Gongsun Ce faced Zi Nu's laughter and went upstairs with gritted teeth.

Even though Zi Nu covered her mouth, the laughter was like a shadow following Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce was still wearing the clothes of the guards, which were pieced together from various places and looked weird no matter how he looked at them.

Wei Zhuang was disturbed by Zi Nu's laughter. When he opened the door, he saw Gongsun Ce in a weird outfit. His icy face almost couldn't hold back.

Gongsun Ce simply began to give up on himself, "My shoes are torn, my hat is torn, and the things on my body..."

Wei Zhuang's shoulders began to tremble. Gongsun Ce sneered, stopped, and began to dance his limbs strangely.

Wei Zhuang quickly closed the door. Through the silhouette on the door, although even the sickle-weasel did not convey Wei Zhuang's laughter, Gongsun Ce was very sure that Wei Zhuang was laughing.

Wei Zhuang: My brother and I have undergone rigorous training. Our ability to hold back laughter is the best among the seven countries. We usually don’t laugh unless we can’t help it.

"cut."

Gongsun Ce expressed his disdain and then returned to his room to take a shower.

Although Han Fei and Wei Zhuang seemed to not need to change their clothes all year round, how is that possible? If they don't change their clothes for a year, they won't smell.

Zi Nu was still laughing at Gong Sun Ce's outfit, but she still thoughtfully prepared the bath water. The half-man-high wooden tub was emitting lingering hot steam, and Hong Yu and Cai Die were scattering petals.

Gongsun Ce looked at Zi Nu and Nong Yu and was silent. "Are you going to help me take a bath?"

Zi Nu had a bright smile on her face. "We little women are not afraid of your lustful desires. How can you, a grown man, be afraid of being eaten by us?"

Nong Yu's pretty face turned slightly red, "I'm here to help you wash your hair."

Zi Nu felt a little disappointed. Did this silly girl really want to give it to her for free?
"let's go."

At Zi Nu's command, the four women left. Gongsun Ce scratched his head. He had never tried to separate five people at the same time.

Gongsun Ce entered the water, and the petals floated on the surface, covering Gongsun Ce's entire body below his neck.

The sickle weasel told Gongsun Ce that Nanyue and Zinu were still at the door.

Gongsun Ce was a little surprised. Not long after, Zi Nu and Nong Yu entered the room.

Nongyu began to wash Gongsun Ce's hair, and Zinu gave Gongsun Ce a head massage.

"Miss Zi Nu, please tell me the amount first, otherwise I'm afraid my poor senior brother can't afford the service fee."

Zi Nu chuckled, "Master Han Fei's wine glass is worth a hundred gold coins, how can you not afford it?"

"Ah~", Gongsun Ce sighed in joy, "You don't understand, he spent all his money on wine glasses, so naturally he is poor."

Soon, Gongsun Ce finished washing up, and it was his turn to dry his body and start to put on his clothes.

Nanyue wanted to leave, but Zi Nu stopped her and said, "Nongyue is shy. Don't forget, if you marry Mr. Gongsun, you must be honest with each other."

Nanyue's pretty face became more and more rosy, "Sister Zi Nu, I, I..."

"Wow..."

Nanyue became more and more embarrassed, so Gongsun Ce simply stood up. Without the cover of the petals, Gongsun Ce was clearly visible to Zi Nu.

Zi Nu's eyes flickered and she wanted to turn her face away, but she forced herself to look directly at Gongsun Ce with an expression that said, "I'm an old driver and I've seen everything."

It was not until Gongsun Ce was about to leave the wooden barrel and take a step forward that Zi Nu panicked and her face turned slightly red.

Nanyue noticed the change in Zinu's expression, coupled with the sound of flowing water, Nanyue subconsciously wanted to see what happened on Gongsun Ce's side, but Zinu covered her eyes.

Gongsun Ce felt that Zi Nu was both naive and playful, similar to Yan Ling Ji. On the surface, she was an expert in romance and knew all kinds of tricks to seduce others.

In fact, there is a lot of theoretical experience but no practical experience.

Nongyu broke free from Zi Nu's hand and saw something that shocked her. She felt that it was completely different from what was in the book.

It was not until Gongsun Ce started to put on his clothes that Nongyu and Zinu woke up from their dream and left.

Han Fei entered Zi Lan Xuan and looked at Zi Nu and Nong Yu, both of whom had blushing cheeks, and was somewhat confused about the situation.

Han Fei entered Gongsun Ce's room and looked at Gongsun Ce who was still getting dressed and the bucket beside him. He suddenly realized, "Junior brother is so lucky."

"It may not be a good fortune. Brother, don't forget, this is Zi Lan Xuan, there is a fee, and my expenses are charged to you."

Han Fei's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Junior brother, what is the relationship between Liu Yi and that killer?"

Gongsun Ce was not surprised. Even if the case was closed immediately and Wujiu and Liu Yi were considered to have died together, Han Fei would still have to report to the court.

The Hundred Birds Killer killed Zuo Sima, a subordinate of Ji Wuye. Ji Wuye's expression must have been a little strange, and it was natural for Han Fei to notice something.
