Sidon, who was following Liu Xi, didn't notice the slightest coldness, and his little face was full of excitement that had not dissipated.

This excitement is not the thrill of a child who has trouble falling asleep in the middle of the night to go out and explore the secrets of the night, but Sidon's new understanding of the gentleman.

It is a gentleman to abide by the words of the saints, to do what others say, and not to do evil things to others.

But blindly abiding by the criteria of becoming a gentleman, although people are praised by the world, it is difficult to understand the true way of a gentleman after all.

A real gentleman has his own demeanor, in Sidon's eyes, Liu Xi is such a person, even if he is in the kitchen, he will also be indifferent.

Therefore, the gentleman is the one who follows the way, and this way is not the way of the saints, but the way of heaven and earth.

Seadon didn't know why he had these thoughts, and they were like rushing water in his mind, making his thoughts a mess.

Because, Sidon can't understand what the way of heaven and earth is.

frowned and thought for a long time, but only shook his head not to make a sound, but looked at Liu Xi, who was free and easy, with envy in his eyes.

By the silent river, a layer of frost had hung on the dead trees, and a few fallen branches rattled under the strong wind.

Stopping and standing on the riverbank with his hands in his hands, Liu Xi glanced at the already frozen river, looked back at Seaton and chuckled, "It's here, if you're lucky, you can see the scene of cooking Xiaoxian." ”

Seaton nodded, and then did laugh indeed.

This smile made Liu Xi a little confused, and looked at Seaton with a chuckle, "What, did you think of something funny?" ”

Waving his hand again and again, Seaton, who put away his smile, bowed to Liu Xi very respectfully, "The student doesn't dare, but he just thinks that he can learn the way of the saint with his teacher later, and he can still feast on it. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi took a deep breath of the cold night breeze, and then stretched his waist, "Lucky for you, although my cooking skills haven't been exposed for a long time, they are also beyond the reach of ordinary restaurants." ”

These words naturally provoked Sidon to laugh again, but thinking of the scene just now, he trotted to the side, "Students go and pick up dry firewood!" ”

Looking at Sidon's thin figure picking up branches under the dead tree, Liu Xi couldn't help but sigh secretly, the Khan King of the Xiongnu Empire was collecting firewood for himself, and he couldn't help but increase his vanity, grinning and stretching again.

Not long after, the three Ma Xiu who had left before rushed to meet, Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu held an iron pot and some spices in their hands, as for Lin Yi, in addition to the two pots of wine that they had taken from Ju'er before, they didn't know where to find a jar of wine.

Putting the pot up, Liu Xi glanced at the spices they brought, it was so familiar, and he couldn't help but look at the dark iron pot again.

Seeing Liu Xi's appearance, before he could speak, Ma Xiu smacked his lips and said, "No need to ask, this is the pot and seasoning in our back kitchen, in the middle of the night, where can we buy pots, the most important thing is those seasonings, it seems that we can only find some in the back kitchen." ”

Confirming the idea in his heart, Liu Xi smiled and clapped his hands, "I just hope we don't go back too late, otherwise tomorrow morning, Xun'er and the others will be startled when they get up, thinking that they have been stolen." ”

When the words fell, the rest of the people laughed, if they wanted to steal them, what kind of skills did this thief need.

After setting up the pot, Liu Xi reached out and took out the 'Upper Evil', and the long sword that had not appeared for a long time flashed with a faint and cold light in the night.

On the body of the sword, a touch of emerald green is like a swimming dragon.

Xiao Wu, who was not far away, was full of surprise in his eyes, he had been with the sword since he was born, and he noticed that the 'evil spirit' in Liu Xi's hand seemed to be different from before.

In the piercing killing machine, there is actually a little more indescribable vitality.

The blade of destruction has the delicate breath of spring rain, so incongruous, but it makes people feel that there is nothing wrong.

In an instant, Xiao Wu seemed to have some enlightenment.

Liu Xi, who jumped up, waved his hand a few times 'Shang Evil', and then fell back to his original place, without the slightest abnormality, which surprised Sidon, who was still looking forward to seeing the scene of the landslide and the ground cracking.

"Click......"

The crack was faint, inaudible in the bitter wind, but Seadon heard it, or he saw it, to be exact.

Because there was a depression several feet wide and long in the surface of the river that he had been staring at in front of him, and the thick ice in the depression seemed to have been mashed by someone, leaving only a layer of broken ice slag floating weakly on the surface of the water.

In this way, Seaton couldn't help but gasp.

"Brother Mengjue, you can warm the wine too, and I'll go and catch the fish."

Ma Xiu seemed to see a child with a fun object, and he went to the surface of the river with his feet and threw out a Qiankun fan to float above the depression.

After a while, the water burst out, and when it fell, there were a few more confused fish on the ice, constantly agitating their gills, as if trying to figure out why they were still asleep in the water before, and how they arrived on the ice outside the water the next moment.

Naturally, Ma Xiu didn't pay attention to what the fish thought, and was about to come to the shore when he grabbed the fish, and he wanted to throw these fish into Liu Xi's pot immediately.

"Foolish!"

After scolding with a smile, Liu Xi rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward to take the fish in Ma Xiu's hand, took out the dagger from his pocket, and picked up the fish on the riverside.

Seeing this, Sidon hurriedly stepped forward to accompany the fish to disembowel it, because Liu Xi took the lead in doing this, so Sidon did not feel sorry for his gem-studded dagger to do such a thing.

Naturally, Liu Xi also saw Seaton working hard beside him, and couldn't help but smile, "

The water under the ice cave was very cold, freezing muscles and bones, and Seaton was surprised why Liu Xineng calmly fiddled with the dagger in his hand, but in the blink of an eye, he cleaned up several fish.

"Sometimes, in order to get it, there must be a price, maybe you have to go through a lot of hardship, maybe you have to lose what you care about the most, or you may have to get your hands stained with blood. ＂

Under the white mist, Liu Xi's words made Sidon's brows rise with thought, and he unconsciously stopped the dagger in his hand, and his inadvertent gaze fell on his left hand holding the fish, but it was stained with blood.

This made Sidon's chest, who had never killed a life, churn, but soon he picked up the dagger again, stiffened his face, and continued to kill fish very seriously.

Because, Sidon suddenly understood that even a holy monarch like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors had a time to kill, and there would be no lack of white bones under the feet of any virtuous monarch, and now the situation in the grassland is more complicated, if you want to hold it in your hands, in addition to the sage book, he Sidon also needs to kill decisively and powerfully.

Not far away, Liu Xi saw that Sidon's technique of killing fish was becoming more and more proficient, and he couldn't help but smile and nodded, he was teachable and intelligent, and he would definitely be able to achieve some feats in the future.

When the fish was killed, Sidon's hands were red from the cold, and he almost lost consciousness, Lin Yi handed him the wine when he saw this, the latter looked at Liu Xi, and saw that he was silent, so he took it, but after a small sip, he was almost coughing continuously, and his tears were almost choked, which made Ma Xiu and others laugh.

"It's the first time I've been like you, you're still young, don't touch wine, some things, depending on what others like, aren't necessarily suitable for yourself, drinking is certainly elegant, but it's too much. ＂

While speaking, Liu Xi filled a cup of boiling water in the pot to Seaton, and looked at Lin Yi, who naturally knew what Liu Xi was referring to, but shrugged his shoulders and said with a grin, "Yusheng, I, Lin Mengjue, have no wine or joy, and if I want to change, I will undoubtedly take my flesh and bones, and I am afraid that I will have nothing to think about in this life." ＂

Speaking of which, Liu Xi is not good to say, Lin Yi has the cultivation of a grandmaster, his body is very incomparable, and it will not be a big problem to be addicted to some wine, and now that Lu Ruier is in charge, it can also make people feel a lot more at ease.

The mist rising in the iron pot made people squint, and Liu Xi added the seasonings to the boiling water one by one, and the originally innocent water immediately gained more color, and a wisp of aroma also spread in front of everyone's noses.

"Anything, if it is not carefully prepared, it will not succeed, this iron pot for boiling water, these seasonings, are all necessary for cooking Xiaoxian. ＂

While speaking, Liu Xi put the cleaned small fish into the pot, and suddenly, he turned his head and said word by word to Seaton, who was holding a cup to warm his hands, "So, no matter when, don't do things that have no chance of winning, even if the world often says to let go, it is because there is a few chances of winning before there is a reversal of defeat, but after all, it is really a small number of things, and everything should not be done rashly, you can remember." ＂

Hearing this, Sidon hurriedly bowed his head, "Students remember the teachings of their teacher. ＂

Blowing the white mist that was constantly spreading, Liu Xi gently flicked the small fish in the iron pot with a wooden spatula, "Now when people in the world think of governing a big country like cooking a small fresh, it roughly refers to the current situation, after the small fish is in the pot, it cannot be turned at will, otherwise it will be easy to break." Therefore, this sentence has become in the minds of the world, and it is necessary to be cautious in governing the country, and not to act arbitrarily, so as not to move the foundation of the country. ”

As the words fell, the wooden shovel casually turned over a small fish that was gradually ripe, and immediately, the fish meat was broken.

Seeing this, Seaton nodded suddenly in understanding, and finally understood why governing the country could be related to cooking Xiaoxian.

But then his brows furrowed again, and his forehead twisted into a ball, "But, teacher, how can you govern the country?" ”

Using a wooden shovel to gently flick the soup in the iron pot, Liu Xiyang asked with a smile, "Haven't you seen these in the book?" ”

Thinking that Liu Xi was punishing him, there was a trace of cowardice on Sidon's little face, but he bent down slightly, "The sage is too far away from the student, but the teacher is really in front of the student, and the people of Yangqu City live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi smiled and pointed at Lin Yi with a wooden shovel, "Yangqu City can have today, it all depends on Brother Mengjue's hard work, if you really want to learn, you can ask him for advice." ”

Lin Yi, who was talking to Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu, immediately smiled and nodded when he heard this, "Yusheng plans to keep you by his side and say that the spring will open next year, during this period, you can come to me if you have any doubts, but the prosperity of Yangqu City is not the work of me Lin Mengjue alone, it is a collection of everyone's strength, and the most important thing is that you are Professor Yusheng and you." ”

When Seaton heard that Liu Xi was going to stay with him until the beginning of spring, he was overjoyed, and his dark eyes were full of bright colors.

"You are my student, although I am usually lazy, but I also have to do some duty as a teacher, leaving you in Yangqu City, first, I want you to learn more than Brother Mengjue and others, and second, the prosperity of Yangqu City allows you to know what kind of empire you want to build the grassland in the future, as for the statecraft you want, the teacher can only send you three sentences, if you can listen to it, it is naturally not difficult to govern the country."

With a bowed head, Sidon hurriedly bowed deeply, "Students listen to the teacher's teachings. ”

"Quiet to self-cultivation, thrift to cultivate virtue."

"Pro-virtuous ministers, far villains."

"The people are the water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat, and the boat can also be overturned."

After saying this, Liu Xi gently patted Sidon's shoulder, "Governing the country has a long way to go, and we still need to start over." ”

After that, Liu Xi knocked the iron pot with a wooden shovel, and Lin Yi and the others, who also had thoughts between their eyebrows, smiled and said, "You can start eating." ”
