"Don't work far away!"

When he arrived at the door, Li Mu said goodbye to Liu Shenwei who was sent out, Liu Shenwei bowed slightly, watched Li Mu get into the carriage, turned around and returned to Sun Simiao's study. Sun Simiao was still looking at the medicine list brought by Li Mu, staring intently, as if he was thinking.

Liu Shenwei removed the teacup, brewed a new pot of tea, and said softly: "Master, the apprentice is listening at the door." After thinking about it, I had to remind the master, and the disciple felt that what Zhuluhou said was probably not all true. ”

Sun Simiao put Danfang down, looked at his apprentice, smiled slightly, and said, "Such a lie full of loopholes can't hide from your eyes, how can you hide it from my eyes?" I often say that I don't have any skills as a person. It's nothing more than living a little longer and seeing more people and things. Are you being humble to me? That's exactly what happened! In my life, I have met so many people. What kind of temper and temperament this person is, he doesn't need any face-to-face method, and he can guess eight or nine without leaving ten. ”

"To put it mildly, no matter how scheming a person is, it is difficult to lie in front of me and not be seen by me. The first thing he said was that I knew he was lying. But the medicine list he took out was not fake-" Sun Simiao looked at his apprentice and said, "What do you think of this matter?" ”

Liu Shenwei was silent for a while, and said: "I think that there may be no down-and-out man at all. This pill and pill are all Li Mu's. It's just that I don't know where he got it from, but it's hard to ask, it's really hard to do. ”

"Yes!" Sun Simiao nodded and said, "You can have this insight, and it is not in vain that you have been with me for so many years." This time, I can rest assured that you and I are separated from master and apprentice. ”

Liu Shenwei was shocked, stepped forward and grabbed Sun Simiao's sleeve, knelt in front of him, and said, "Master! Are you going to drive the disciples away? If the apprentice has done something wrong, please ask the master to show me and beg the master not to drive the apprentice away, but to follow the master——"

Sun Simiao patted Liu Shenwei's hand, pulled him up, and said, "You don't need to say these words, you have been by my side for so many years, how can I not know your temperament." It's just that there is no banquet in the world, life is a long road, and you still have to go by yourself after all. If you follow me, you will never be able to get out of your own way, which is something that the teacher does not want to see. ”

"In my life, I don't know how many people have taught me skills, and I can do whatever I want. I think there is fate, so I will point ......" Sun Simiao paused for a moment and said with a smile: "It's a bit too big to talk about guidance, let's help it, just help it." I don't care about the name of my mentor or what my apprentice can bring to me. Just like that Yuan Tiangang, he got my help, and he is his fate. Those who cultivate the Tao are talking about the word fate. ”

"You and I can have a master-apprentice relationship, it is the fate between you and me, and there must always be an end. Tomorrow I will enter the palace to see the queen, and then I will not come back, and go directly south to find medicine. Don't follow me, and don't be sad. Master doesn't hide it from you, a few days ago, I secretly calculated a hexagram for you. Your future is still in Chang'an City. If you stay here, I will leave you all the money given by Li Mu, and you will use it on the people, even if you are worthy of the master. ”

Liu Shenwei was about to speak, but Sun Simiao waved his hand to stop him, and said, "If you don't believe Master's words, it's okay." But until the 1,000 taels of gold are used up, they are not allowed to leave Chang'an. That's all Master asks of you. ”

Liu Shenwei saw that Sun Simiao had made up his mind, and knew that he couldn't change it, so he silently shed tears.

Sun Simiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your qualifications are not superior, but you have the benevolence of a doctor." And unlike me, in my heart, cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao is always the most important, and you have no distractions. I will leave you all these years with the Codex, and I will think about it a lot, and maybe one day, your medical skills will surpass mine, and that will be when Master is most pleased. ”

Liu Shenwei cried and said, "Master, how can an apprentice have that kind of ability. The apprentice only hopes to follow the master, before and after the saddle, so that he can have peace of mind! ”

"That's why Master wants to separate from you!"

Sun Simiao sighed again, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead, I want to meditate and rest for a while." ”

Liu Shenwei scowled away, Sun Simiao sighed, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and pondered.

……

didn't get mixed up to eat, and Li Mu didn't feel disappointed. Sun Simiao's mansion, apart from their master and apprentice, there is only one small servant. It looks like no one is cooking, so what can there be to eat. It's better to come to the West Market, where there is everything to eat. There are dozens of snacks alone, not to mention one belly, ten stomachs are full.

Speaking of which, I haven't come to the West Market to eat for a few days, and it was still early today, so Li Mu asked Dugu Jiu to drive to the West Market. The two brothers left the carriage at the entrance of the city and walked into the West Market, intending to wander around, eat some snacks, and when they were full, and when they would go back.

When Li Mu was pondering what to eat, a burst of fragrance suddenly came. Li Mu followed the fragrance, crossed the three shops, and came to a barbecue stall. Whole sheep are roasted here, and the stall owners are two bearded people, and their faces are a little fierce, so although the sheep is roasted and oily, they look very appetizing, and no one comes to patronize them.

The two Hu people were a little anxious because of this, and they couldn't wait to reach out to solicit customers. But neither of them could speak Chinese, and they talked about it in the house, and with their appearance, it looked like robbery, and the people were so far away that they did not dare to come closer.

Li Mu is indeed not afraid, not because of his status as a third-rank military marquis. It's because of Dugu Jiu, with Dugu Jiu by his side, don't talk about these two Hu people, no matter how many more they are, they are not his opponents. And Li Mu can understand a few nonsense words, but he doesn't understand them completely.

The two Hu people were overjoyed to finally wait for two guests who were not afraid of them. It was very enthusiastic, and the room whispered, and let the two of them to the table. The table was very rough, and at first glance it was the work of a vainman, but no carpenter could put out a stool with four legs uneven.

But in this market, there are not so many places to pick. Li Mu didn't care about these people, he would come here to eat barbecue because he smelled a familiar smell. He traveled to the Tang Dynasty for so long that he finally saw cumin!

The language was incomprehensible, so he had to make a gesture, Li Mu pointed to the roasted whole sheep and made a gesture, which meant that I wanted all the sheep. But these two Hu people didn't understand, or they didn't dare to believe it, they were stunned for a long time, and they also compared for a long time, before they finally confirmed that they had met a big customer, and they grinned so much that their mouths were grinning to the root of their ears. kept bowing, but they were Hu people, and they were very unsuitable for the etiquette of the Han people.

Li Mu hurriedly stopped them, signaled to Dugu Jiu, and Dugu Jiu took out a silver ingot from his arms, which was ten taels in weight, and handed it to the Hu people who were the leader of them.

Now in the territory of Chang'an, the price of a sheep is about five times. Ten times to buy a roast sheep, even if you add labor costs, etc., it is only a lot more. The two Hu people thanked them a lot, one brought the jar wine over, and the other took out a delicate scimitar, brushed a little bit, shaved off the mutton like snowflakes, and brought it to Li Mu and Dugu Jiu.

Li Mu didn't eat in a hurry, he stared at the remaining cumin grains on the meat slices, and frowned slightly.

This thing smells like cumin, but looking at its appearance, it is somewhat different from cumin, which Li Mu dares to conclude. In my previous life, on my way home from the company, I would pass by a corner with no street lights, and there would often be a 'caravan' parked here to sell late-night snacks, kebab beer, and cold skin noodles. Passers-by often patronize business.

Li Mu is a "skewer beer pie", scoffs at cold skin noodles and never eats them. Every time I go home, as long as I run into it, it is ten strings of tendons, ten belly slices, and a bottle of beer. After getting acquainted with the proprietress and getting acquainted with him, he will occasionally give him a big waist, and when he sees him far away, he will shout 'Come on, brother, ......', very warm and kind.

Because of his frequent eating, Li Mu is very interested in cumin. The thing in front of him tasted like cumin, but it was definitely not the variety he had ever seen.

Li Mu tried to eat two pieces of meat, and the taste was not wrong, and it was even stronger than the cumin he had eaten in his previous life! He was instantly excited, and those who did not cross would not understand this feeling. People are strangers in a foreign land, and they miss their relatives every festival...... When he came to the Tang Dynasty, everything was fine, especially having a wife, which made him, a single dog in his previous life, grateful. But on this alone, he was too uncomfortable. The taste of the Tang Dynasty, he can't get used to it!

But with cumin, what are you worried about? With the fine salt and cumin, it's just a matter of 'coming my brother', and I feel like I'm coming back! Oh yes, and chili! This kind of small thing that originated on the other side of the ocean, I guess I won't be able to eat it in my life!

No! Li Mu suddenly woke up, and almost, there are lucky bags! Since the lucky bag can produce potatoes, you can produce chili peppers, bet on the lucky bag next month, don't ask for anything, and be satisfied with a chili pepper!

When Dugu Jiu eats, he will push the mask to his head and expose his mouth. But even if she only shows half of her face, others see it, and she is a little beauty who is shy of flowers in the moon. The people passing by saw him, and they were all curious, this beauty was interesting, wearing a mask, sitting on the side of the street and eating barbecue...... There was the prodigal young master who wanted to come up and tease and tease, but before he could come to him, he saw Li Mu sitting opposite the little beauty, and he was suddenly frightened, and he didn't dare to take another look, and ran away in a gray manner.

Now in Chang'an City, how can there be anyone who doesn't recognize Li Mu. The story about him has long been spread through the mouths of "Datang Daily" and many newspaper readers. And his appearance is also known because he never hides his whereabouts.

The reputation is still good overall. Because Li Mu scattered coins, ah no, it was the act of scattering money, which won him a lot of favor. And he has a rule, if others don't mess with him, he won't bully others. For this alone, his conduct will surpass that of ninety percent of the gentlemen in Chang'an City. Not to mention, he still has real skills. This is not dark, and the things he invented are all talked about.

In addition to his reputation, everyone's common impression of him is the word 'unprovoked'. Needless to say, the people of Pingtou don't say that Li Mu is a third-grade military marquis, and he is deeply favored, so he naturally can't afford to provoke him. said that the people with status, Xungui and Gate Valve, also felt that they couldn't provoke Li Mu. There is no other reason, except for the Holy Family, which is the involvement of Datang Salt Industry and Datang Mining. Most of their families are shares. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of money are still stored in the ice cellar of the Ministry of Industry, and they are controlled by others, how dare they provoke them?

Those self-proclaimed Shandong scholars did not dare to provoke him, and that round of fighting, although on the surface, Wei Zheng was promoted to Li Mu and dismissed. However, the power of the Shandong Shi clan in the court was almost completely lost, and Li Mu's subsequent methods also made them suffer, so that now Wei Zheng has to open his face to ask for help for road construction, how dare they provoke?

Therefore, several major forces in Chang'an City have more or less mentioned to their own children that they should not provoke Li Mu if they provoke anyone, otherwise he will initiate his temperament and kill him, a beating is inevitable, and it is a vain beating, do you dare to fight back?

As for the scoundrels in Chang'an City, they are now about to be co-opted by Bai Hao'er and Ergou, relying on Li Mu's power and the money in his hands, it is not fun to co-opt some pranksters. Some of those who are not convinced have already moved their homes under the Baqiao and are flowing down the Ba Shui, not knowing where they have slipped to.

Li Mu didn't know anything about these things. Bai Naoer and Ergou have never mentioned it, everyone has ambitions, although Bai Naoer and Ergou are not big husbands, they also have their own ambitions. With Jingdong as the foundation, the 'underworld' of unifying Chang'an is their ambition, and they would rather be cautious and sneaky.

Dugu Jiu looked at Li Mu staring at the seasoning on the meat slice and was stunned, but he didn't eat a few bites, and he was puzzled. He looked left and right, and there was no one nearby, so he spoke: "Big brother, why don't you eat?" ”

Without the help of the 'voice changing mask', Dugu Jiu's voice returned to the girl's appearance. Li Mu hadn't heard his original voice for a long time, and he was stunned for a moment before he said, "I'm thinking, what is this seasoning, I haven't seen it." ”

"Oh, this one." Dugu Jiu smiled, although he could only see his mouth from Li Mu's angle, he couldn't help but be shocked. This kid looks too demonic, obviously a man, but he has no Adam's apple. If he lived in his previous life, he put on a woman's costume and pretended to be a pseudo-mother, and he didn't know how many two-dimensional young men who didn't know the truth would have to be broken......

Li Mu imagined that scene for a moment, and suddenly goosebumps rose.

"This is benzoin fennel, which is abundant in the Western Regions, and relatively few in the Central Plains."

"Benzoin fennel?" Li Mu had never heard of this name, and said with his eyebrows: "Who got the name here, and he is unlucky, why, if you eat it, you will die?" ”

Dugu Jiu smiled, Li Mu hurriedly stopped looking over, no, I couldn't stand it.

"The eldest brother doesn't know, according to legend, there is a resting country in the west of the Western Regions, and this kind of fennel is passed from there, so it is called benzoin fennel. My family also has a lot of business in the Western Regions, and I have seen this seasoning, because it is very rare and expensive, and I have not eaten it a few times. ”
