The dinner was actually very grand, and the six most important people from Pegasus Ranch were all present, because it was the daughter of Tang Emperor Li Yuan, Li Shimin's sister-in-law, and Kou Zhong's first love Li Xiuning.

Even in the face of thousands of troops, Kou Zhong would not be so discouraged.

The attention of the four deacons, including Shang Xiuxun, Shan Wanjing, Shang Zhen and Liang Zhi, was originally focused on Kou Xu, and they couldn't help but look at Li Xiuning in amazement when they heard Jiao's voice.

Li Jing, who accompanied Li Xiuning, didn't know Kou Zhong, but he knew Wu Ruotang, a young high-ranking official of the Mingfeng Empire, he was very impressed!

"Why is this son here?" Li Jing said suspiciously.

Li Xiuning's look of surprise flashed for a moment, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Please forgive Xiuning for losing his manners, because he didn't expect the two masters to be so young." ‘

At this time, Kou Zhong and Wu Ruotang came to the table, facing Li Xiuning, and stood with their hands hanging down with a blank expression.

Wu Ruotang also saw Li Jing, and he was a little surprised in his heart! According to the original book, it should be Li Gang, why is it Li Jing? He knows his identity, if he reveals it, I don't know if it will disgust Shang Xiuxun?

Wu Ruotang and Kou Zhong were in a mess in their hearts, and at this time, Li Xiuning regained his usual graceful and elegant calm demeanor, and smiled at Shang Xiuxun on the right: "What do you call the two masters?" ‘

Shang Zhendai, who was sitting on her left, replied: "One is called Fu Ning, the other is called Wu Xiaotang, Fu Ning is the cook we recruited, and Wu Xiaotang is Princess Wanjing's guard!" But both of them made a first-class meal. ‘

He didn't point out which one was Wu Xiaotang and which one was Fu Ning, which showed that he didn't respect the two of them, just perfunctory.

Li Xiuning recited 'Fu Ning' twice in her heart, and her pretty face suddenly turned slightly red, showing that she was enlightened. The change is not significant, and no one else notices it.

Li Jing looked at Wu Xiaotang, he didn't know what he was thinking about, but the clenched fist was undoubtedly promoting Wu Xiaotang: "Boy." I don't have a crush on you! ”|

Shan Wanjing looked at the stupid two people and said with a smile: "Xiao Ning, Xiao Tang, the guests are full of praise for your smoked fish." Appreciation! Think it's unparalleled in the world! ”

"Thank you, princess, for appreciation!" Kou Zhong is a five-flavored complex, but Wu Ruotang is wary of Li Jing.

Dou Wei was Li Xiuning's right-hand man, and when he saw that Li Xiuning and Li Jing's faces were a little wrong, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then looked at the two of them carefully. found that Wu Xiaotang and Kou Zhong both looked plain on the surface, but where they go, they are not angry and arrogant, and they have an indescribable majesty!

"The two little chefs are dragons among men, why do they want to be chefs?" Dou Wei said tentatively.

Kou Zhong had a trace of sadness in his heart, drooped his eyelids, and said indifferently: "This is called Shi Ye Life, if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, our brothers may try to gain fame and do some good things for the common people." At the moment, the emperor is mediocre. Smoke everywhere~~~~! ”

After everyone quietly listened to Kou Zhong's speech, Dou Wei was already full of surprise: "The little master talks well!" It's just why you are so sad and lonely, is there something difficult to encounter, or is there any sad past? ”

Wu Ruotang knew that Dou Wei was deliberately talking about it, and found that there was a suspicious look in everyone's eyes, in order to prevent Kou Zhong from revealing his flaws, Wu Ruotang hurriedly said: "Before my two brothers entered the hall just now, Brother Kou was idle and talked about the old things about his hometown being destroyed by the war, so he was touched, and Lord Dou should not be surprised. ‘

Dou Wei nodded. seems to believe Wu Xiaotang's words.

"Yang Guang Lao'er is mediocre, and he has made the huge Sui Wen full of holes, and there are wars everywhere! It's really heartbreaking! Shang Zhen shook his head and said.

Liu Zongdao interjected: "If His Royal Highness the King of Qin is the ruler of Tang Fei, then lead the righteous army to conquer Sui Wen. Ousting the unscrupulous monarch from power can eliminate the evils and bring peace to peace. ‘

Li Jing, who had been observing Wu Xiaotang, couldn't help but show a hint of pride when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This still needs the strong support of the owner." ‘

Wu Ruotang couldn't help but sneer in his heart, it seems that this Li Shimin's appetite is not ordinary, is it possible that he wants to include Sui Wen in Tang Fei's territory? But judging by the current situation. It's not impossible!

Shang Xiuxun was noncommittal about Li Jing's words, turned his eyes, and said to Li Xiuning, who was sitting silently: "Didn't the princess ask them personally about how to make smoked fish?" ‘

Li Xiuning woke up like a dream and said: "Xiuning has thought about it! It's better to go to the kitchen tomorrow and intern with the two masters. ‘

The fourth deacon Wu Zhaoru's eyes flashed with jealousy, and he proposed: "If Princess Ning has no time to doppelgänger, I can ask them to write out the method in detail, which is also a way." ‘

Li Xiuning glanced at Kou Zhong, who was hanging his head, and insisted: "It's better for Xiuning to personally ask the two masters for advice!" ”

Shang Xiuxun smiled faintly and said, "Just do what the princess wants!" ‘

Turning to the two of them, he said, 'You can go back and rest.' ‘

Wu Ruotang and Kou Zhong left the living room, and Kou Zhong left alone. Wu Ruotang sighed and returned to his residence alone.

"Hey, why did Brother Xu get entangled with Potian?" Wu Ruotang was stunned to find that Xu Ziling, who had mysteriously disappeared, was talking intimately with Shi Potian.

"You're back? Xu Ziling and Shi Potian seem to have a lot of topics! Jin Se Mixiang walked over and said.

Wu Ruotang told Jin Se Mixiang about the scene that happened in the living room, and after thinking for a while, the wise beauty said calmly: "Li Jing is here with Li Xiuning, so there shouldn't be more trouble and trouble us!" Besides, having said that, we have a life-saving grace for Li Shimin, if Li Jing really wants to find himself unhappy, we can publicize this matter, presumably Li Jing must be very jealous of this! ”

Regarding the analysis of Jinse incense, Wu Ruotang naturally agrees.

"Mixiang, I think recruiting you is the most correct decision in my life!" Wu Ruotang looked at Jin Se Mixiang and couldn't help but say proudly.

"In that case, shouldn't we get a pay increase?" Jin Se Mixiang smiled evilly.

"Well, that's it!" Wu Ruotang hesitated.

"It's okay to give out some bonuses!" Jin Se Mika continued.

"I want to think about it!" Wu Ruotang began to touch his nose.

"It would be better to get some overtime allowance!" Jin Se incense flowed with Harazi Road.

Wu Ruotang was angry: "Your sister, can we have a face!" Tell me about you, it's not online at night, people are like civil servants, eight hours of work, not a minute, and let me give you overtime allowance, did you work overtime? I'm embarrassed to say! ”

Jin Se Mixiang: "~~~~~! ”

"Okay, I'm going to play with Lu Miaozi, are you going?" Wu Ruotang looked at Jin Se Mixiang's pitiful appearance. I can't bear to say it again.

"Do you have any money to get it?" Jin Se Mixiang said weakly.

"You're really out of the eye!" Wu Ruotang snorted coldly and left in a huff. Leaving Jin Se Fan Xiang to laugh evilly in place.

When Wu Ruotang arrived at Lu Miaozi's small building, the world's first craftsman was standing proudly on the edge of the cliff outside the small building, as if he was reminiscing about the old things. There was a sad look on his face.

Pinching his fingers and calculating, this is the third time Wu Ruotang has met Lu Miaozi.

Although he reprimanded him fiercely last time, Wu Ruotang still respected him very much, and came behind him to say hello, Lu Miaozi seemed to be indifferent to Shuanglong not coming with him. led him into the hall on the lower floor of the small building, sat down and said: "Although the people in the rivers and lakes respect me as the world's first craftsman, they think that I know everything and can do everything, this is just a misunderstanding. ‘

Wu Ruotang lowered his eyebrows and said with great admiration: "I only know that Mr. is the most knowledgeable person I have ever seen when I am so old!" We followed the instructions of Mr. and made smoked fish and crispy, and the guests praised it after eating~~~~! ”

Lu Miaozi shook his head with a smile and interrupted Wu Ruotang: "Knight, these are my shortcomings!" Interested in everything! Delusional to learn wireless knowledge with a limited life! Ay! If only I had been able to concentrate on the martial arts path wholeheartedly. You may not be able to defeat the witch! Take 10,000 steps back. Even if you can't defeat him, at least you can get out of it with your whole body! It's a pity, it's a pity~~~! ”

Wu Ruotang listened to Lu Miaozi talking to himself, and his heart was full of thoughts. Not like that! There is officialdom to worry about! You have to face a strong enemy, King Yan! The tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, the enemies who are eyeing him from all directions, all this is destined to make it impossible for him to devote himself to martial arts.

Lu Miaozi didn't notice that Wu Ruotang was also at war with heaven and man in his heart, and continued: "Since I left my hometown at the age of twelve, until I was fifty years old, I have never lived a wandering life for a moment, only constant changes and stimulation have made me enjoy the splendor of life. Thirty years ago, he was defeated by Zhu Yuyan. Only then did he settle down, although he still traveled around from time to time, but his mood was very different, and he was more interested in the skills he had learned. I worked hard to delve into it, and finally made an unexpected discovery. ‘

Wu Ruotang's curiosity was aroused, and he couldn't help but ask: "This discovery must be extraordinary!" ‘

Lu Miaozi smiled knowingly, but did not directly say the answer, and said elsewhere: "In the past thirty years, I have only been fascinated by the study of gardens, architecture, institutions, weapons, history, geography, and mathematics. ‘

Wu Ruotang gasped, touched his nose and said, "My God." Any one of these aspects of knowledge is enough for a person to exhaust his life's energy to study and study! But sir, you can cultivate both, you are really a genius! It's incredible! ”

Lu Miaozi first smiled proudly when she heard this, and then shook her head in frustration. In the end, he sighed and said: "However, the study of gardens and architecture is not the old man's favorite thing, only because he lost a game of chess to Qingya, he was forced to fulfill the gambling contract, build a garden and afforestation here, and design a pavilion." ‘

He sighed gloomily: 'If it weren't for this, the old man might have died of remorse. Qingya! When will I repay what I owe you? ‘

Wu Ruotang frowned slightly, he knew that Lu Miaozi had fallen into this dead knot again.

"Sir, have you forgotten what I said to you last night?" Wu Ruotang said with a hint of criticism.

Lu Miaozi instantly aged a few years old, "Listen to me!" ”

Wu Ruotang stared at him and stopped talking.

"After being injured that year, Zhu Yuyan personally chased and killed the old man, I wanted to find Ning Daoqi out, but I didn't know that he had gone to the outside world, so I had to hide in Pegasus Ranch. He also laid all kinds of suspicious tactics to trick the demon woman into thinking that I had fled overseas, otherwise the old man would have slaughtered her. ‘

Finding that Wu Ruotang was still expressionless, Lu Miaozi continued: "This demon woman's evil skills have reached the extreme of the Demon Gate, and she has unpredictable skills, Ning Daoqi has fought with her three times, but she can't. ”

Ning Zhiqi is known as the first master of Middle Earth, the great master of Taoism, and his martial arts are world-renowned. Together with the Goguryeo martial arts master "Yijian Master" Fu Cailin and the Saiwai martial arts master "Wuzun" Bi Xuan, they are known as the "Three Great Masters of Martial Arts". He can't help the people, Lu Miaozi lost in his hands, and he is not wronged.

"Instead of hiding and hiding like this, it is better to find a way to get the understanding of the owner, so that for you, sir, it is the real relief!" Wu Ruotang suggested.

Lu Miaozi pondered for a while, and suddenly slapped his palm on the table as if he were floating weakly, although he didn't make any sound. The hard table clearly showed a profound palm print, and he said bitterly: 'Qingya! I owe you so much. If I could turn back the clock, I wouldn't have sneaked away back then. It's all just a passing glance, how can you catch your affectionate glance. ‘

"Sir, don't worry about that anymore! Let go of all your baggage and work hard to help the home owner survive this troubled world! Wu Ruotang continued.

"But my body can't hold it for long!" Lu Miaozi was a little moved, but thinking of his body that was about to run out of oil, his eyes darkened again.

"Sir, rest assured. There's always a way! Wu Ruotang comforted.

Lu Miaozi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's useless, my own medical skills are already quite clever!" Naturally, I have a number in my heart! ”

Wu Ruotang was silent, indeed, if there was a way, with Lu Miaozi's ability, he would have extended his life a long time ago.

"Actually, there is another way to pass on my skills!" Lu Miaozi looked at Wu Ruotang and said.

"Huh?" Wu Ruotang was a little puzzled.

"I'll pass on my skills to you, won't I?" Lu Miaozi smiled.

"This, in the next talent is dull, I am afraid that it will be insulting to Mr. I will be wise!" After ecstasy. Wu Ruotang forced himself to calm down.

Lu Miaozi looked at Wu Ruotang, and then sighed and said: "In terms of talent, compared with those two little guys, you are indeed slightly inferior!" ”

Wu Ruotang: "~~~~~~ you old man, you are so ruthless, you are really not polite at all!" ”

"But you're better suited than the two of them to inherit my mantle!" Lu Miaozi smiled.

"Why did you say that, sir?" Wu Ruotang was a little puzzled.

"That Kou Zhong is determined to be in the world, what he values is the strength of Pegasus Ranch, and he wants to take it for his own use and become the capital to compete for the world in the future! He's a bit like me when I was younger. Too ambitious! Lu Miaozi commented.

"As for Xu Ziling, he is indeed the best candidate, but their feelings for Xu Ziling are too deep, if Kou Zhong speaks. He's still biased towards Kou Zhong! So, in the end, you're the only one left! Lu Miaozi pointed to Wu Ruotang and said.

Xiao Tangtang smiled helplessly, "How does Mr. know that I am an ambitious person?" ”

"I didn't say that you have no ambition, from your unsparing efforts to persuade me to regain my confidence, I know that you are not a peaceful lord either!" Lu Miaozi chuckled.

Wu Ruotang was slightly embarrassed, and Lu Miaozi looked into the distance. He said lightly, "But you are more likely to succeed than Kou Zhong, and besides, you have a heart of pity!" ”

"Uh, really? I don't even know it myself! Wu Ruotang laughed.

"Because you haven't seen yourself yet!" Lu Miaozi nodded slightly.

"When will I be able to see myself?" Wu Ruotang asked.

"Wait until the day when you are the phoenix!" Lu Miaozi's eyes were slightly closed.

Wu Ruotang's face was covered with cold sweat: "Doesn't that mean you have to die once?" ”

"Death is a good thing, and people can only achieve the longest-term progress when life and death are at stake!" Lu Miaozi said proudly.

"What kind of bullshit logic is this?" Wu Ruotang shook his head and expressed dissatisfaction.

Lu Miaozi smiled dumbly, looked out the window, and seemed to be thinking about how to hide it in his chest, but he passed on his brain to the old man who was not very talented, but had a compassionate heart.

After a long time, Lu Miaozi slowly stood up, moved to the window, looked at the steep rock wall of the opposite cliff, and said in a deep voice with Wu Ruotang on his back: "Between heaven and earth, there are countless numbers, and all changes do not deviate from their origins, and the number starts from one and ends from one." ‘

Wu Ruotang was surprised: "Counting starts from one, this principle is simple and easy to understand, but from the end, it makes people puzzled. ‘

Lu Miaozi turned around and said with a smile: "Didn't I just say that after thirty years of contemplation, I have made an unexpected discovery, which is the answer to your question. ‘

Wu Ruotang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mr. has whetted my appetite, you can say it!" ‘

Lu Miaozi said happily: "I just wanted to impress you more, so I deliberately used some means. ‘

After pondering for a long time, Lu Miaozi said slowly: "The number of Dayan is fifty, and there are nine out of forty. These two sentences are two sentences in the I Ching system, and the sorcerer has always regarded them as the method of teaching people to divination, because the fifty stems are used in divination, and the method of interpreting the number must be divided into one, but they do not know the principle of heaven and earth, all in these two sentences. ‘

Wu Ruotang shook his head, saying that he was uneducated and couldn't understand.

Lu Miaozi paced back and forth, and suddenly looked up at Wu Ruotang and said, "Have you ever read the Book of Changes?" ”

Wu Ruotang blushed rarely, "I'm planning to have time to read, I've had a lot of things lately, I'm too busy!" ”

Lu Miaozi looked at Wu Ruotang in surprise, as if she was curious, how thick-skinned this person was to be able to say such shameless words.

'The ancient sages, whenever they talked about the number of arts, always hid their heads and showed their tails because of their vigilance that could not be leaked by the heavens. Because the next sentence 'divide into two to like two', it is the method of starting hexagrams, which leads people astray, and they do not know the deepest meaning of the previous two sentences. ‘

Wu Ruotang was still in contact with Yi Shu for the first time, and said with great interest: "These two sentences sound interesting, what secrets of heaven and earth do they contain?" ‘

Lu Miaozi said indifferently: "Fifty is a complete number, when the number is fifty, everything in the world is in its own place, and there is no action, but if it is a virtual number, when it generates forty-nine, there will be an additional void, and the other forty-nine numbers can be circulated and changed, and there is no end."
