Kyoto is one of the most special cities in the empire, because where the emperor is located, many scholars, merchants, generals, and knights are all in Kyoto, which is like a small river and lake, and there are many things happening in Kyoto.

As small as sesame garlic, Mrs. Chen in Chengnan Tie Hutong lost her cat and reported to the official.

The daughter-in-law of the owner of the Wujia cake shop in the west of the city ran away with a Xiucai surnamed Ximen in the east of the city.

That's the little thing.

There are also some major events, the leader of the martial arts alliance has been killed for three years, but the leader of the martial arts alliance has been unresolved, and it is said that in the capital, there will be a martial arts conference.

A year ago, it was rumored that there was a peerless swordsman on the other side of the dark sea, and now he finally decided to come to the Central Plains and defeat all the imperial martial arts masters in the capital, on the occasion of the martial arts conference.

That's the big deal.

There are also some things that are actually very important, but because they happened in the imperial court, they became secrets.

Ding Qiliang never thought about the reason why he was executed, not because he was found out with a stunt, but because he put bitter gourd in the emperor's dish.

The dish was very delicious, but it was used by a minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China to play the topic, saying that the dishes used by the emperor are extremely precious ingredients, and this chef actually put bitter gourd and other inferior ingredients in the dishes, which must have been ordered by a certain minister, so as to satirize His Majesty's current livelihood and suffering.

His Majesty was originally happy and ate well, but when he was said like this, he naturally lost interest, so he actually came to the cook, that is, Ding Qiliang.

Ask who instructed Ding Qiliang to do it.

Ding Qiliang remembered that the day before yesterday, a eunuch told him that His Majesty had a night banquet for the ministers, and a certain high-ranking official in the court wanted Ding Qiliang to make a dish with bitter gourd as an ingredient. Because that minister likes to eat bitter melons.

Ding Qiliang was not happy, after all, he was the one who cooked for the emperor, but thinking that the ingredients in the palace had not been difficult at all over the years, and it was boring to cook, he still agreed.

So I also specially thought about how to make the next dish, and the fact is that the bitter gourd is really delicious.

So much so that when the minister used the topic to play, he hesitated for a moment, but the opportunity must not be lost. He and another official were already on the same page. Naturally, this move can't get rid of him, but it's also good to be majestic.

And so there was this scene.

As long as Ding Qiliang tells him which official asked him to make bitter gourd. As for whether Ding Qiliang lives or dies, it naturally doesn't matter. Ding Qiliang figured it out in an instant, he knew that he was making a chess piece. No one wants to eat bitter gourd at all.

Yes, bitter gourd and sweet potato, in today's corrupt imperial court, only cattle eat.

This world is like this, even if dragon meat is as unpalatable as feces, it is still dragon meat, very valuable, even if bitter gourd is a thousand times better than it, it is also bitter gourd.

Even if the officials really dared to satirize His Majesty's civil rule, the officials would not die.

Even if the chef really doesn't think about it that much and just wants to make a good dish, the chef just damns it.

Ding Qi's eyes were full of anger.

He said: "Bitter gourd is bitter gourd, eat a melon You group think so much, no one instructs me, I just want you to know that any ingredient can make a delicious dish." ”

His Majesty was not angry when he heard this, but felt that this cook was very courageous. However, these words offended the most unoffending person in the court, that is, the initiator of the conspiracy, who became the prime minister of the court.

Ding Qiliang didn't understand the current political situation, and he didn't know that even His Majesty was polite to the prime minister, even if the prime minister said something very excessive, His Majesty didn't hear it.

So Ding Qiliang didn't know why he should have done something that should have been done, but the official snorted angrily and said that this cook had ill intentions and should be taken into custody.

Then the proud Ding Qiliang was furious, and when he was taken away by the guards, he shook the two guards away in a rage. So more guards came. So the prime minister told His Majesty that a cook could shake off two palace guards, and that he must have such skills, which must be ill-intentioned.

In the sound of escorts, in the countless sounds of drawing knives, Ding Qiliang was finally captured.

should have been executed, but the emperor seemed to intend to spare his life, so the cook Ding Qiliang was sent to the frontier.

Send the frontier, go to the secret realm of the Southern Barbarians, and live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs. When Ding Qiliang thought of this in prison, he felt extremely angry, and he roared in the prison and scolded the prime minister of the dynasty.

In exchange for a beating.

However, Ding Qiliang is a person made of stones, because the emperor said that he would not die, so the person who was beaten was also measured, no matter how hard a man was, he should be soft after being beaten twice, but Ding Qiliang was not convinced.

So he was beaten all the time.

Fortunately, he is really beaten.

The beaters are tired, and he's still scolding, fuck, I'm just going to cook a dish, why should I be put in prison, why should I go to that hellish place.

It's useless.

Half a month after the incident, several felons in the imperial court, including Ding Qiliang, began to go to the Nanban Secret Realm.

Some of these criminals were found to be spies from other countries, some were murderers, some were unruly palace maids in the palace, and some were like Ding Qiliang, who offended the prime minister of the empire.

In fact, as long as you live, there will always be hope, and there will always be good things happening. If you die, that's a kind of sorrow.

Although Ding Qiliang was not convinced, he was shackled in his hands, what could he do.

He has strong martial arts, but no matter how high his martial arts are, he can't show them if he is locked up like this. After going to the Nanban Secret Realm for about half a month, a prisoner suddenly began to escape, and then the end was extremely miserable.

Among these imperial soldiers who took care of the prisoners, there were several masters hidden, although the martial arts of those masters were not as good as him, but they did not eat and sleep well for half a month, they were injured, and he was unable to move, and Ding Qiliang felt that there was no hope of escaping.

Dante did not give up.

The sun wasn't as poisonous that day, and it happened to pass by a sparsely populated town. The procession stopped in front of a tea shop, the owner of the tea shop was a little old, and he was moved by compassion when he saw that several prisoners were tortured, so he begged the officials to let the prisoners drink a few sips of tea. Eat a few steamed buns. It's like an old man.

The soldiers were impatient, but also agreed. Let the old man be kind and ignore it.

So as long as you live, there will always be good things happening.

Ding Qiliang felt that this was an opportunity. When the old man handed him steamed buns, he asked the kind old man for a few things. Although the old man was puzzled, he brought it anyway.

So after a while, the soldiers suddenly turned their heads, swallowed their saliva, and saw Ding Qiliang holding the discolored steamed bun and eating it with relish. The other prisoners were also panicked, obviously it was a white-faced steamed bun, how could it be that he could exude such a big fragrance after a few tosses in his hand.

Ding Qiliang ate very fragrantly, and then looked at everyone looking at him, especially a few soldiers, Ding Qiliang said: "When I was in the imperial dining room before, Your Majesty loved to eat the pastries I made, and there must be one for every meal, although now there are only steamed buns, the taste is not right, but the taste is the taste that the emperor likes, do you want to taste it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several soldiers naturally agreed, after all, they all wanted to taste the things that were only available in the palace, and Ding Qiliang couldn't play any tricks. So Ding Qiliang entered the kitchen of the tea shop, took the shackles, and started to make steamed buns.

A strong aroma came from the tea shop, and the soldiers couldn't help but start urging Ding Qiliang to hurry up. Ding Qiliang did it very quickly, and the steamed buns were indeed so fragrant, and this time he sent a few prisoners to the ghost place in the Nanban Secret Realm, which was really not a good errand for these soldiers, but after eating such a meal, he felt that it was worth it.

Dan Ding Qiliang is not good at stubble, his steamed buns are delicious, but if he wants to eat the steamed buns he makes for eating, only those he thinks are worthy of it.

So for this group of unworthy people, this steamed bun is naturally not for eating. As the soldiers finished eating the tea and steamed buns, Ding Qiliang suddenly stood up, and the soldiers saw that Ding Qiliang's expression was wrong, so they wanted to scold, but suddenly found that their heads were dizzy, their bodies were weak, and then they were unconscious.

There were only six people who could still stand, Ding Qiliang, the owner of the tea shop, and the four masters who were hiding among the soldiers.

Ding Qiliang said: "Although I can't use my hands, I only need to deal with the four of you now, and I may not lose." ”

One of the four said: "Ding Qiliang, the successor of the Ding family's Ox Knife Method. Because he likes to cook, he has been a cook in the palace for a few years. The former head of the Ding family was coveted for his plot to solve the knife technique, otherwise this martial arts conference would definitely be a hit. ”

Another person said: "This time, the Prime Minister ordered the four of me to come to escort you, originally to get rid of you. I was going to go farther and do it, after all, His Majesty ordered you to spare your life. Naturally, you have to go to the far away place of the mountain emperor to do it, and I didn't expect you to have the idea of running away, just right, I can get rid of you. ”

Ding Qi didn't expect his identity to be exposed. At that time, although the name of the Ding family's Ding Jie Niu Knife Method was not very domineering, it didn't take long for that knife technique to be used, and it occupied a place in the martial arts. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the Ox Solving Knife Method is the same as the Thousand Ghosts Night Walking Knife Method of the Sword Ghost Qi Linya, which can be included in the category of peerless martial arts.

But because of this, the Ding family began to suffer.

Ding Qi's eyebrows were a little cold, and he asked, "How do you know?" ”

The third person said: "Tianji Pavilion has nothing to do, since you have offended the Prime Minister, then you will die." ”

The four of them suddenly pulled out their weapons, and a strong killing intent filled this small tea shop, and the boss had never seen this scene, and he actually fainted.

The battle began, and everything was as he had planned, though it wasn't well planned.

There are four people on the opposite side, although their hands and feet are inconvenient, but Ding Qiliang is still fearless, and he can't use the knife technique, but he is still a real master.

It's just that the cooperation of the four people is extremely tacit, blocking all the retreats of Ding Qiliang, if it weren't for Ding Qiliang's more domineering style of play, and the four of them were unwilling to cause unnecessary casualties, Ding Qiliang would have fallen.

The battle was already extremely unfair, and Ding Qiliang also seemed to have underestimated the strength of the four people in Tianji Pavilion. In the dodge and parry, one of the people's knives suddenly became weird, completely different from before, Ding Qi was stabbed in the calf. Then the second and third knives followed.

What's even more terrifying is that there is a poison on the knife that seals the throat with blood.

Ding Qiliang was furious, but he could no longer act. Continuous knife in the back and abdomen.

He has been in the palace for many years, but he didn't know that the empire actually had such a terrible organization called Tianji Pavilion, and the guards in it were even stronger than the emperor's sword-wielding guards.

Ding Qi was defeated twice. If he can use the Ox Solving Knife Technique, if his hand can move, even if it is a kitchen knife in the kitchen, he is confident that he can easily defeat these people.

But there is no if in life, Ding Qiliang couldn't stand up anymore and died of anger.

One of the four stepped forward and sniffed, nodded to the other three, "Dead indeed." ”

Another person said: "This person is extraordinary in martial arts, and he may be able to stop his martial arts." ”

The man confirmed again, shook his head, and said, "It's not Turtle Breath Gong. ”

Another said, "Why bother, just cut off his head." ”

So the man drew his sword. No matter how powerful a person is, if his head falls off, he is dead and cannot die again.

But at this time, there was a sudden gust of strange wind.

The sound of the wind howled as if it were a great wind, but wherever the wind passed, the dust did not fly, and the branches and leaves did not tremble.

They felt a gust of wind blowing, but they found that they didn't even feel the corners of their clothes. What's even more terrifying is that I can't move anymore.

It wasn't the wind, it was a terrifying sword intent.

The master of Tianji Pavilion, who was supposed to be up and down, found that he couldn't move. That knife couldn't go down.

That sword intent actually made people feel like a storm, and the four Heavenly Machine Pavilion masters naturally knew that there was a terrifying and suffocating master coming.

The four of them couldn't move, but they still saw a young man walking towards him with a smile on his face. The young man sniffed Ding Qiliang, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then he whispered: "This man is dead, you continue to drive your way, I want this corpse." ”

The four of them actually knew that Ding Qiliang must be dead, and cutting off his head was just out of prudence, but in the current situation, I am afraid that there is no way to cut off his head.

One person asked: "Your Excellency's martial arts are shocking, please ask for a name, this person has come to the court to commit a crime, and the corpse may not be convenient for your Excellency." ”

The young man frowned slightly and said, "My name? All these years they called me the shopkeeper. Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to discuss. I'm just here to tell you, I want this corpse. ”

The man asked, "What do you want this corpse to do?" ”

The young man brought Ding Qiliang's corpse. Then a few ups and downs disappeared from the field of vision of the four people, and only a short answer floated in the sky:

"Cooking."

At nightfall.

Ding Qiliang deceived the corpse. Ding Qiliang looked around, he seemed to be in an inn, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, if he could really escape that catastrophe, he should have been exposed to the wilderness, not in this inn.

He looked at the room, where there were food and wine on the table, two dishes and chopsticks, and clothes at the head of the bed. Ding Qiliang didn't care about that much, and even started eating the meal with chopsticks, but before he took the first bite, he spit it out.

"Fuck, it's unpalatable."

After saying this, Ding Qiliang suddenly heard a light sigh, he didn't have time to think about it, and a chopstick shot at the place where the sound was.

However, the chopsticks didn't fly long before they suddenly stopped in the air.

The one who sighs is naturally the young man who saves him.

The young man said: "In my inn, I have entertained many people with unpalatable food, but because it always comes in good time and is needed by others, they dare not say that my food is unpalatable." It hurts me to hear you say it so openly today, but fortunately, I don't have to cook from now on. ”

Ding Qiliang is not stupid, he knows that the other party is a master, and he thinks that he should have been saved by him.

The young man said: "The steamed buns you made, because of the addition of a few ingredients, made those officers and soldiers have food poisoning, but they can make them eat poisonous food, which means that the steamed buns are really delicious." ”

"You know that if you don't die, it will be difficult to escape, but Turtle Breath Gong can only fool ordinary people, but you can't fool those masters, so you made something that can make people fake death with your understanding of food."

"You're amazing. But you still miscalculated, but it doesn't matter, when you meet me, your head is saved, and your life is saved. I like you very much as a cook. "The young man was very satisfied with the cook.

You can kill people before cooking.

You can kill people while cooking.

You can also kill people when you're done cooking.

And the dishes he cooks can also kill.

Although the young man has so many things related to killing in his philosophy, he does not like to kill, and he has never even killed anyone. It's just that two years ago, when he learned that his master died, he complained a little that his master was the best in the world in vain and was actually killed. He no longer wanted his partner to die, so he wanted to find a partner who could only kill others, not be killed by others.

Ding Qiliang didn't expect that this young man would fully know his plan, and he was indeed his savior. I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He hugged his fists and said: "Please ask Engong Gao's name, if I have the opportunity to repay in the future, I will definitely be obliged." ”

The young man smiled and said, "My name is Chenhui, you can call me the shopkeeper in the future, or the boss." In addition, you don't need to be in the future, you can repay me now. I'm missing a cook, and you're just a cook. ”
