Du Xiao Li looked to Han Ming Yi’s appearance and helplessly held her forehead.
“Big brother Yi, with you like this, I can’t work!”
With that said, she also looked to the women that were somewhat trembling because of Han Ming Yi’s arrival.
Although he didn’t deliberately express it, his natural noble presence, and also that killing aura left by the battlefields, still wasn’t something these ordinary commoners can’t withstand. If he continues to stay here, how was she going to teach them how to ferment grapes?
“You all do as you please, just treat it as this prince isn’t here.” Han Ming Yi faintly said, and then innocently looked to Du Xiao Li.
“Big brother Yi, if you want to drink grape wine, Feng Xue Lou has readily made ones. Today, I came to teach them how to ferment wine. What are you doing joining in on the excitement here.” Du Xiao Li was a little speechless at Han Ming Yi’s gaze.
“This prince doesn’t want to drink right now.” Han Ming Yi said, and before Du Xiao Li got angry, added: “If I ferment some now, we can drink it when we get married.”
The words Du Xiao Li wanted to say instantly got stuck in her throat. Han Ming Yi although said it very casually, he was being very serious. He really was planning on personally fermenting their wedding wine!
“Then you come join in too.” Du Xiao Li said, “Stand at my side, and don’t block them.”
Han Ming Yi moved to the side a little, standing next to Du Xiao Li.
Du Xiao Li first let everyone wash their hands clean, and then while demonstrating, explained to them how to ferment grape wine. Han Ming Yi earnestly studied from the side, copying whatever Du Xiao Li did. Because the process wasn’t difficult, everyone all learned very quickly. However, because the amount was rather high, by the time they finished fermenting, the sun had already set.
Han Ming Yi carefully had the wine jar nicely sealed, and then gave it to Leng Yi to the side, ordering him to properly store it away when they get back. Afterwards, he watched Du Xiao Li skillfully ferment grape wine.
“What are you making this many for?” Han Ming Yi asked.
“I also like drinking wine I fermented myself.” Du Xiao Li said with a smile. Although there was a branch winery in a town not far from the capital, and also a large vineyard, in charge of providing wine for the capital and nearby cities, she still liked doing it herself. And only when she finished drinking the ones she fermented herself will she finally drink the ones provided by the winery.
“Alright, that’s all for today. The rest of these grapes just share them with the people in the estate.” Seeing there was only a little left, Du Xiao Li got up and said, “In the future, when the grapes mature, just use them to ferment wine.
Every step needs to be carefully done, especially regarding sanitation, it can’t be neglected, understand?”
“Yes, miss.” Those people uniformly replied.
“Alright, find someone to have these fermented wine moved to the storage room.” Du Xiao Li ordered, and then let someone have the wine she fermented moved to Han Ming Yi’s horse carriage.
Before leaving, Du Xiao Li went to the vineyard again to pick a large basket of fresh grapes, and then ordered them to have some grapes sent into the city tomorrow morning. Afterwards, she finally got on the horse carriage and left with Han Ming Yi.
“You won’t be home in the morning, why send them into the city then?” Han Ming Yi asked.
“To eat of course.” Du Xiao Li pulled open the curtains for a look. The sky outside was already dark, don’t know if she’ll get lectured by Du Yun Han when she gets back.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already sent someone to your house….” Before Han Ming Yi could finish his words, he suddenly stopped, following which the horse carriage also stopped.
“You stay inside and don’t come out.” Han Ming Yi instructed, without waiting for Du Xiao Li to respond, and got up to go out.
The Leng named brothers all looked to the men in black that had them surrounded. The other party’s strength wasn’t weak, and moreover, there numbers were very high. When they’d gone out, they only brought along the seven Leng brothers. To have to face these near a hundred assassins was definitely going to be difficult. Especially when there was also Du Xiao Li, this future mistress that didn’t know martial arts.
“Encountering assassins again?” Du Xiao Li came out from inside the horse carriage and looked to the people that had them surrounded. “Big brother Yi, when together with you, why do we always run into assassins?”
“Didn’t I let you stay inside? Why did you come out?” Han Ming Yi had Du Xiao Li pulled to his side.
“Inside the horse carriage isn’t safe either!” Du Xiao Li retorted. She also saw that the other party’s strength wasn’t low. Even if she stayed inside the horse carriage, they would still be able to sense her presence.
Han Ming Yi also realized this bit, and figured that if she stayed by his side, he could still closely protect her. Thus, he reached out his left hand and had her held tightly, saying: “In a bit, you have to follow me closely.”
Du Xiao Li lowered her eyes towards her right hand that was being held by him. A peculiar feeling streaked across her heart as she nodded in reply, “Okay.”
Because of the incident when she was little, everyone all subconsciously believed that she didn’t have the ability to learn martial arts, and treated her as a weak maiden. Regarding her martial arts ability, only the few people close to her knew. She’d also intended to deliberately explain that she knew martial arts, but if they don’t need her help, she was also more than happy to continue hiding it.
“Who are you all? To actually dare try to assassinate our master in Phoenix city, don’t know this here is our territory?” The seven Leng guards had Du Xiao Li and Han Ming Yi encircled in the center, as they looked to the other party and asked.
“Hmph, we’ve already tailed you all for several days. Today, there’s only you lot, if we don’t act now, when will we have to wait until? Attack!”
One of the assassins finished saying and immediately flew over, while the others also attacked at the same time.
Du Xiao Li listened to that person’s words, feeling his accent was strange, like it wasn’t the manner of speaking of someone here.
“That is the northern country’s accent.” Han Ming Yi held a sword in his right hand and held Du Xiao Li’s hand in his left, as he watched Leng Yi and the others fight with the other party, while still being able to pay attention to Du Xiao Li’s thoughts.
“Northern country’s accent?” Du Xiao Li was somewhat shocked. They were actually assassins sent by another country? Then how did they infiltrate into Feng Ming?
“En, don’t know which of the three northern countries they’re from.” Han Ming Yi said.
The three northern countries, one was Northern Yuan that he and Ji Liu Feng defeated in battle previously. Northern Yuan and Feng Ming were connected at the border and was also the strongest of the three northern countries.
Another was Norther Lan, and also Northern Qi. Northern Lan and Norther Qi’s territories were a little smaller than Northern Yuan and were situated to the east and west of Norther Yuan.
“These years, Leng Yi and the other’s strength have increased quite a bit!” Du Xiao Li watched the seven of them completely block off the other party and exclaimed in admiration.
“These years, they’ve accompanied me onto the battlefield and have indeed improve quite a bit.” Han Ming Yi said in approval.
