Chapter 106: How did you end up here
The kitchen of the Castle Lord's Mansion.
Wu Bencao took out a set of utensils and ingredients picked up with a flat pole and began to cook.
Bai Yujing leaned against the door frame and leisurely watched him busy, not only did he not intend to help, but mocked: "After making trouble for a long time, you risked your life to stay, it turned out that you were just cooking for others?
Wu Bencao turned his back to him, and while cooking the characteristic yellow stewed goose, he replied: "I don't want anything, I mainly want to see people's hearts." If someone betrays you and keeps you in the dark, and is still free, will you be willing?"
Bai Yujing thought thoughtfully, "You mean the human head hanging on the city tower?"
When Wu Bencao entered the city, he hung Qiao Zhenting's head above the city tower to inform the elders of Goose City that he had clear grievances and revenge, and he would never spare the traitors who ate inside and out.
"Not only that, but the city lord sent a letter last night to persuade me to stay, I want to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd. He helped me once before, and if he didn't want to hurt me this time, this meal would be a favor......"
He flipped the spoon, looked at the flames burning in the pot, and said indifferently: "If he wants to harm me, then I have to trouble you to strike again and hang his head on the city tower." ”
Bai Yujing said: "Think beautifully. Just now outside the city, the reason why I made a move was because the old man was beaten up, and if it weren't for your intercession, he would have died a long time ago. Now it's you who take the initiative to provoke, and I won't be your accomplice. ”
Wu Bencao was not surprised by his answer, and turned to look at him, "What if I told you that the old man just now was a friend of the city lord, and the two of them were in cahoots, and they were waiting to eat vegetables at the moment?"
Bai Yujing was stunned.
Wu Bencao put the goose meat on the plate, walked to the door, and said, "I'll serve the food, you wait here first." If you can be harmonious and return this favor, everyone will be happy, and you won't have to trouble you. ”
He knew that if Bai Yujing served the food in person, Li Qianqiu would definitely be ashamed and anxious to find a crack in the ground to get into.
He walked into the banquet hall with a hot secret yellow stewed goose.
Li Qianqiu was sitting at the table, talking and laughing with Zhang Junyou, and when he saw Wu Bencao's face clearly, he jumped up suddenly, as if facing a great enemy, "You...... How could you be here!"
He looked around vigilantly, looking for Bai Yujing's trace, and was really scared.
Wu Bencao put the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "I said outside the city that we will meet again soon, aren't you mentally prepared?"
Seeing this, Zhang Jun looked at the two of them and said in surprise, "You have already seen it?"
Wu Bencao was noncommittal, "City Lord senior, do you mean that you want me to see him? Now that people have seen it, I don't know if you have any advice?"
Zhang Jun didn't know what to do, and said frankly: "That's right, I see that you have a wonderful skeleton and are a rare cultivation genius, and I want to introduce this master to you." If you want, you can worship him as a teacher and follow him to the wider world outside!"
Wu Bencao smiled but did not answer.
Li Qianqiu was embarrassed.
Regarding the matter of apprenticeship, the two have already talked about it outside the city, and they know each other tacitly.
Zhang Jun looked at the strange demeanor of the two of them, confused.
Li Qianqiu pointed to his cheek and said embarrassedly: "The way I look is done by his subordinates." He's the chef you're talking about, right? Even that senior is willing to be his buddy, what qualifications do I have to be his teacher......"
His face flushed, and he felt more pain in his cheeks.
He was still thinking just now that if Wu Bencao refused to submit to him, then cut the grass and eradicate the roots to prevent future troubles, but now that the truth was revealed, he realized with frustration that he had thought too much before, and it would be good if he was not killed, how could he have the ability to hurt others.
Zhang Jun was dumbfounded, stunned for a while, and then said in disbelief: "You mean, it was his subordinates who beat you like this?"
Li Qianqiu sat back on the chair, looked at the fragrant yellow stewed goose, and said: "One is terrifying, the other is a super god of cooking, where are the two sacred, why do they succumb to a small place like the Tang Kingdom?"
Thinking of the huge threat posed by Wu Bai and the others, he sighed, worried, and was not in the mood to taste the delicious food in front of him.
Wu Bencao said calmly: "Seniors don't need to worry too much. People don't offend me, I don't offend people, I just want to do business in peace, and I won't take the initiative to be an enemy of anyone. The city lord's predecessors treated me well, and I will let you enter the city safely. ”
Li Qianqiu suddenly said, "Before the battle, you told that person not to hurt me, it turned out that it was for the sake of Old Man Zhang's face, but he had already guessed my identity......"
Wu Bencao turned his head to look at Zhang Jun, and said softly: "I have clear grievances, and if I have enough ability, I will definitely repay the favors." Last time, my seniors helped me out of the siege, and today I came to cook and wrote it off, as for apprenticeship, there is no need. ”
There is a sentence he didn't say, Zhang Jun should be happy, fortunately he only said about the apprenticeship, and he didn't have the idea of taking medicine and dietary recipes, otherwise, he would have revenge, and these two old men would suffer today.
He turned and walked out the door.
At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the girl Cao Xianyu stepped in, wanting to take the opportunity to meet Li Qianqiu. After seeing Wu Bencao's face clearly, she couldn't help but be stunned, and her delicate body trembled.
"You...... How could you be here!"
The same exclamation, Li Qianqiu said it once just now, and now it's her turn.
After she knew that Li Qianqiu would come today, she was excited early in the morning, carefully dressed up, and deduced how to behave herself, not caring about the actions of Xiao Hua and others. In her opinion, Wu Materia Medica is just a caged finch, and it is impossible to escape with wings.
At this moment, she was taken aback by surprise, and had a strong premonition that something had happened to Xiao Hua and the others.
Wu Bencao stopped, glanced at her, turned to look at Zhang Jun, and said with a smile: "Senior city lord, she is your guest?"
Zhang Jun's eyes trembled slightly, and when he heard the weight of this question, he scolded secretly in his heart, this little fool, when will he come out, but he came to make trouble at this time.
He coughed dryly and replied, "It's not a guest, it's just a night, she's stayed too long, and I'm about to send her away." ”
The meaning of these words could not be clearer, and it was clear that he wanted to draw a clear line with Haoyang Sect, so as not to make Wu Bencao angry with him and treat him as an enemy.
Moreover, he didn't want to see the Cao family's father and daughter, and warned Cao Xianyu a few years ago not to stir up right and wrong under his nose. Today, the people of Haoyang Sect sneaked into Goose City and touched his bottom line, and he was already planning to issue an eviction order.
"This ......"
When Cao Xianyu heard this, his cheeks were red with anger, and he said a word.
For this day, she was longing for too long, but she couldn't imagine that she was only a stone's throw away from the famous teacher of her dreams, and at the most critical moment, because of Wu Bencao's words, she was blasted out in public, and her face was gone.
This scene is too dramatic.
She was unwilling, she finally waited until today, she was only one step away from entering the most sacred cultivation hall in Datang, how could she give up easily.
Ignoring Zhang Jun's eviction order, she knelt down in front of Li Qianqiu and bowed respectfully.
"Younger generation Cao Xianyu, who has long admired the prestige of the ancestor of Qianqiu, can see your old man today, although he has no regrets in death! I heard that you have promised that as long as someone can pass your test, they can become your descendant disciples, and the younger generation is brave and willing to give it a try today!"
If you want to pass Li Qianqiu's test, the premise is to be eligible to take the test. How many young talents in Datang dream of worshipping under the throne of the ancestor of Qianqiu, rising to the top, and standing out from the crowd, however, let alone a test, it is difficult for ordinary people to even want to see him.
Cao Xi thought hard before she came up with the idea of sending her daughter to Li Qianqiu, she had already seen Li Qianqiu, she didn't want to fall short, no matter what the result was, she had to give it a try.
Seeing this, Zhang Jun's brows furrowed suddenly, and he scolded angrily: "Didn't you hear what I said? Do you have to tear my face and blow you away!"
Cao Xianyu knelt on the ground, waiting for Li Qianqiu to express his position, and was extremely stubborn.
After Li Qianqiu glanced at Wu Bencao at the door, he thought for a moment and said, "It's rare that you have this sincerity and dare to worship me in the face of Old Man Zhang's anger." Okay, then I'll give you the debut quiz questions, and as long as you can do it, I'll take you as an apprentice. ”
