Chapter 12 Dividing the Water Xiongguan VI

The water-dividing pass is located at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang, built in the five generations of "Kai Min King" when the king was judged, in order to ensure the safety of Fujian, in order to Yu Wu Yue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Fangyu Minutes" contains: "Stacking stones, dividing the water and two passes, building when the king of Fujian is in order to prepare for Wu Yue." The situation of the water division is dangerous, and it is known as the "gateway to northeast Fujian". In the era of the division of heroes, the water division pass was a battleground for soldiers. At the end of the Song Dynasty, Yongjia Chen Zizhong Fuxiu Wang Xing chose to enter Fujian and was martyred here.

Yu Shao and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu came to the foot of the Guanling Mountains, the watershed pass mountain is steep, the road is rugged, it is quite inconvenient to ride a horse, everyone has to lead the horse on foot, Ashikaga Haruko is a lively and generous girl, along the way and everyone laughs and laughs and laughs is also interesting, and from time to time to come to Yu Shao's side, repeatedly looked at Yu Shao, and also said some Dongying words, took out the seaweed rice ball he carried with him and handed it to Yu Shao, Yu Shao did not want to refuse, chewed it with a mouthful, I didn't expect the ordinary rice ball to taste great after Ashikaga Haruko's skillful hands, There is a lot of seafood sashimi and a cooking sauce made in the rice, which is the best cold rice ball that Ha Shao has ever tasted, and he gives a thumbs up to praise Ashikaga Haruko's good craftsmanship. Yu Shao can't speak Toei dialect, so he can only use gestures to make gestures, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu told Yu Shao that this is the characteristic of Toei food, and his sister's craftsmanship has nothing to say, and everyone loves to eat the food she makes.

Ashikaga Haruko was also very happy to see that Yu Shao liked her sushi rolls, and talked about cooking things along the way, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had to repeat it again in Chinese, so that Yu Shao could understand some of the customs of Dongying.

Toei cuisine is definitely meticulous in cooking. A good chef must be a bridge between the eater and nature, and let the guests taste the most authentic natural taste under the chef's careful cooking. There is no doubt that the characteristics of Toei cuisine emphasize the original flavor of nature, and it is the primary spirit of Toei cuisine. The cooking method is very delicate and delicate, from the soup stock that is simmered for several hours, the seasoning and cooking techniques are all based on the premise of preserving the original flavor of the food.

The secret of Toei cuisine is basically sugar, vinegar, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, bonito, kelp, and other seasonings. In addition to tasting aromas, taste, touch, sight, smell, etc. should not be neglected.

In addition to the above cooking colors, there is also a knowledge of eating, so you must 'eat hot dishes' and 'ice dishes' so that you can achieve a 100% wonderful taste in terms of texture, time, and ingredients.

Toei cuisine is a dish that can be tasted with the eyes, but more accurately, it is a dish that can be tasted with the five senses. Namely: eye-visual tasting; nasal-olfactory tasting; Ear-hearing tasting; Tactile - tactile tasting; Naturally, there is also a tongue-taste tasting. Then when it comes to what kind of taste you can taste, the first thing is the five flavors. The five flavors may be the same as those of Huaxia, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty. And the cuisine also needs to have five colors, black, white, red, yellow and green. After the five colors are complete. Nutritional balance also needs to be considered. The five basic cooking methods are cut, boiled, roasted, steamed, and fried. Compared to Huaxia, the cooking method of Toei cuisine is relatively simple. Toei cuisine is a dish that uses the five senses to enjoy ingredients with a strong sense of the seasons based on the five flavors, five colors, and five methods.

There are also many famous dishes in Toei, and the most distinctive dishes are sushi, sashimi, sake, bento, natto, tempura, takoyaki, chikuwa, soba, sukiyaki, gyudon, ramen, sashimi, etc.

Ashikaga Haruko said endlessly, eager to tell Yu Shao all the food he knew, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also said that his mouth was dry, and he described the sound and color in Chinese, but Yu Shao listened to it in the clouds, and he had never seen this kind of food. It must be a delicacy, and it is rare for a young lady of the shogun shogunate to cook a good meal, and Yu Shao even praised the virtuous and virtuous virtue of Ashikaga Haruko, without the shelf of a noble lady.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu smiled and said, "That's also in front of you Yu Shao." Usually my sister is a brutal princess, and even my brother can't help her. ”

"Haha, that's the Ashikaga brother who treats his sister as the pearl of his palm, and naturally spoils such a cute sister." Yu Shao said so. also knows that Ashikaga Haruko has a good impression of him, maybe he is also affectionate.

Ashikaga Haruko and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu began to talk about Toei, and the ronins behind followed suit. Ashikaga Haruko's face was flushed, and seeing this situation, Yu Shao understood that it must be Ashikaga Haruko confessing to his brother that she liked Yu Shao.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu understands Chinese etiquette very well, although he also knows that his sister fell in love with Yu Shao at a glance, but Yu Shao is not so affectionate, they are not all the way, and the sky is different, this will never have a result. Fortunately, the only person who can understand both Chinese and Toei dialect is Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who tactfully told his sister that Yu Shao already has a sweetheart, and has accepted the gift of Wending, Yu Shao is from the capital, and most of the people in the Central Plains marry early, and pay attention to the order of self-cultivation and Qi family ruling the country and leveling the world.

Ashikaga Haruko seemed to refuse to believe it, and looked at the eldest brother suspiciously, but after all, the eldest brother is the identity of the general, his words are higher than everything, and even the emperor's orders can be disobeyed, Ashikaga Haruko saw that the eldest brother was a little embarrassed, and it was impossible for Yu Shao to come to Dongying, and his identity was also the premise that the eldest brother was not allowed, and the eldest brother would need to help him make a shocking cause in the future. Ashikaga Haruko is a smart woman, and she will never be a stumbling block on the road to her eldest brother's ambitions, although she has a lot of affection for Yu Shao, she can only put this heart in her heart.

At dusk, Yu Shao and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu they have almost fallen to the pass on the top of the mountain, the beacon tower of the city wall of the water pass is in front, the water division Xiongguan under the sunset is extraordinarily majestic, the green mountains on both sides, the trees are towering, the soldiers of the predecessors of Wu Yue want to enter Fujian and Guangdong only this way, a man is a pass and ten thousand people do not open, worthy of being the first pass in the south of the Yangtze River.

When everyone was about to go to the pass to rest, there was the sound of swords in front of them, and it seemed that someone was fighting here. There are no people around the water dividing pass, the rugged truth is the abyss on the side, the wind is strong on the top of the mountain, the wind is whistling in the woods, startling the birds, so dangerous is a good place for the green forest heroes to rob the road and kill people, there are many people during the day, most of them go together, the water dividing pass at dusk can not find a figure, is it really encountered a robber.

Yu Shao and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu immediately shook their spirits, everyone also showed their blades, and everyone's expressions began to become serious, not because they were afraid of the robbers, but because they were afraid of the traps laid by the robbers.

Yu Shao is even more worried about Shen Bing and Dugu Hong, although Dugu Hong's martial arts are first-class, but he doesn't have many eyes, and it is easy to be plotted by those scoundrels. If he is trapped, Shen Bing will definitely be more than lucky, she has a lot of silver taels and medicinal materials on her body, in case of murder, she will regret it for life.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu saw that Yu Shao's expression was extremely nervous, and knew what Yu Shao was worried about, and on the way Yu Shao told him that Dugu Hong and Shen Bing would be waiting for him at the water dividing pass, these two people were important people of Yu Shao, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also heard that Yu Shao cared about their safety.

Yu Shao couldn't hold it anymore. Holding a marble in one hand and a bamboo flute in the other, his jade flute was in Shen Bing's place, in order to squeeze out the loneliness on the road, the inn's Xiao Er bought a re-flute, and for a while he couldn't remember how this bamboo flute could resist sword cutting. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu immediately handed Yu Shao a katana, and said in a low voice: "Childe don't panic, since you heard the sound of the sword, even if the head of Dugu is here, you won't be plotted by the organs." Otherwise, how can there be the sound of fighting, Dugu has outstanding martial arts, and it is more than enough to deal with the three indiscriminate people who rob the road, and you can't use a bamboo flute to fight against people. ”

Yu Shao was nervous about Shen Bing's safety for a while. I didn't expect Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to say that the idea was successful, after the wind and waves, Yu Shao also felt a little nervous, and laughed at himself: "It's still Ashikaga brother's analysis." I've become an elm head. ”

Yu Shao took the katana and leaped forward with an arrow step.

"It's good to be born with light work." Ashikaga Yoshimitsu secretly praised Yu Shao, and also followed suit.

The people in the back were also armed with katanas. Leaving behind the horses and carriages, follow in the footsteps of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and head to the watershed pass.

There is an arched doorway under the city wall of the water dividing pass, the gate has been demolished long ago after the unification of the world, and there are no longer soldiers guarding it, but it is symbolically used as the dividing line between Zhejiang and Fujian.

The sound of the fight came from under the doorway, and it was already dark under the city wall at dusk, blocking the slanting sun and leaving only the shadow of the city wall, and it was impossible to see who was fighting there. There seems to be a large iron cage under the arch, and a group of people are around the cage to cut down the people in the cage, although there are a large number of people, they can't hurt the people in the cage, but the people in the cage take the white blade empty-handed.

Yu Shao relied on his invincibility, and soon came to the bottom of the arch, and looked at the real Dugu Hong and Shen Bing, in order to protect Shen Bing, Dugu Hong could only deal with the robbers with one hand, and the other hand tightly hugged Shen Bing's small waist, turning in circles in the cage, always paying attention to the sneak attack of this group of people, and he couldn't remove the iron cage with his scalded hands for a while, if it weren't for Shen Bing's burden, Dugu Hong would never be so embarrassed to be trapped in the iron cage. These robbers also saw Dugu Hong's weakness, and a few iron guns in their hands directly greeted Shen Bing under Dugu Hong's armpit, Dugu Hong could only save Shen Bing, but the blade behind them beckoned to their back, Dugu Hong used his feet to block the sneak attack, so back and forth, after a long time, Dugu Hong also felt quite difficult, a generation of heads can not protect a little girl, Dugu Hong must not be besieged by a group of robbers to leave Shen Bing alone, otherwise how to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future. But this group of robbers just took a fancy to Duguhong's character, and continued to greet them, exhausting Duguhong, and he was already sweating profusely.

Yu Shao found that Dugu Hong and Shen Bing were trapped, and immediately used the orchid robbery finger to pop out a handful of bullets at the same time, he had no intention of taking people's lives, they all hit the legs of this group of robbers, and immediately fell a few people, but there were a lot of robbers, and they did not give up Dugu Hong and Shen Bing in the cage, and those robbers who were watching from the side immediately raised their blades and beckoned Yu Shao. Yu Shao has not learned a day's martial arts moves, and even the kung fu of a three-legged cat like a robber has to hide, but fortunately, these robbers can't get close for a while.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu naturally does not have such a good light skill as Yu Shao, and when he arrives, Yu Shao has been embarrassed by their pursuit, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and his men immediately put into the fight, a few rounds later, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu found that the blades in the hands of this group of masked robbers are also Dongying's katana, and they must have come to Zhejiang and Fujian to rob the house. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu shouted in Toei to stop, this group of robbers was also a little puzzled, I didn't expect it to be their own people who came to the rescue, seeing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's ronin camp all holding katanas, although it was dressed as a Han Chinese, but Ashikaga Haruko was wearing a kimono, and it was certain that it was also a Toei person.

One of the robbers, short but very strong, also shouted in Toei to stop, put aside his hand and came to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's side to look at it, and said with some eyes in no one: "You are also Japanese?" ”

When Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's subordinates saw that the leader of the Japanese was so arrogant, they rushed to say loudly in the Toei dialect: "When you see the general, you don't kneel." ”

The leader of the Japanese invaders was cautious, then laughed, and said loudly to his subordinates: "The Japanese general will appear here like this, you are really embarrassed to Japan, and you are still wearing Hanfu, is it impossible to get mixed up here, it is better to join me here, and ensure that you make a fortune, hahaha." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's subordinates were indignant and were really ready to deal with these guys, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu stopped his subordinates and said to the leader of the Japanese bandits: "The two people you caught with the trap are my friends, for the sake of the Japanese who are fighting the family, let them go." ”

"What you said is light, we have been here for a day, and we finally caught a fish, how can we work in vain."

"If you let them go, how about I compensate you?"

"It seems that you are a rich man, and it is okay to let it go, but the finances you have grabbed here are all kept, and maybe I can consider taking you back to China." After speaking, the leader of the Japanese invaders glanced at Ashikaga Haruko with his eyes a few times, revealing an obscene appearance.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu still wanted to calm things down, and said: "I can give you some silver taels, as compensation, and I hope you will return to Japan as soon as possible, otherwise you will inevitably lose your life here." ”

"Oh, you are generous, it seems that you are really a noble person in Japan, I don't know if you are from the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Dynasty, if it is from the Southern Dynasty, I can consider your words."

"Then what if I'm from the Northern Dynasty?"

"Enemies who don't share the sky, for many years in the Civil War, all the family except me died at the hands of the Northern Dynasties."

"Haha, unfortunately, I'm from the Northern Dynasty."

"Then I have to forgive you, except for the women behind you, they all have to die, and they have been out to sea for a long time, and they haven't enjoyed the taste of Japanese women for a long time." The leader of the Japanese invaders looked directly at Ashikaga Haruko with a pair of lewd eyes, relying on the strength of the crowd and the fear of wanting to touch Ashikaga Haruko's little face, and did not let go of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's words in his heart.

Ashikaga Haruko was also enthusiastic when she saw such a barbaric compatriot, and stepped forward and gave the leader of the Japanese a heavy slap in the face by surprise.

All of a sudden, the two sides began to move, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's men were already extremely angry, seeing that Ashikaga Haruko had already made a move, he immediately took care of a few Japanese in front, these Japanese are really not afraid of death, and since they are pirates, they also pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, completely disregarding their own lives, and even those Japanese who are besieging the iron cage are also coming to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's side.

Dugu Hong took the opportunity to put down Shen Bing, and turned the iron cage aside with both hands, Yu Shao also came to Dugu Hong's side, and was relieved to see that Shen Bing was safe and sound, and said to Dugu Hong: "Thank you, big brother." ”

Dugu Hong said: "You are optimistic about Bingbing girl, I went to take care of these robbers." ”

Dugu Hong jumped into the crowd with an arrow, snatched a katana in the hands of a Japanese robber, crackled out a bloody way, and came to the leader of the Japanese bandits, the leader of the Japanese bandits really looked at the large number of his subordinates surrounding Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's people, and was still triumphantly ready to draw out the katana to fight, Dugu Hong grabbed his throat and crushed it with a 'click'.
