Volume 1: Bloody Joy Chapter 23 Treasures
The wind is crazy, the rain is crazy, and the eyes are full of blood and water, so miserable. (liΗo)
"Come and see! there's a guy hiding in this old man!"
"Come and find the military master of Zhenguo, I will say you! Don't be stunned, go to the government to find an official!"
"Why don't you go?"
"If I tell you to go, you'll go!

Let's go back to this Wenxiang Building.
The two black lacquered gates in front of me are inlaid with the pattern of peony flowers from brass wire, and countless butterflies and birds are surrounded by the peony flowers, and the air dead wind lanterns hanging on the left and right sides of the black lacquer gate are swayed from side to side by the strong wind.
In this stormy night rain, overlooking this zigzag-shaped Wenxiang Building, the various lights and shadows that come out of the window are as real as a dream.
In the "Spring Breeze Elegant Room" on the second floor of the east side of Wenxiang Building, the round table in the middle is full of fine wine and delicacies, the dishes on the table are eight dishes and eight bowls of beasts and birds, mountain and sea delicacies, it is really called a meat and vegetable matching, a roasted East China Sea arowana in the middle of the round table, there are bottles of good wine on the side of the wine car, and there are melon wine, wine, rice wine, rice wine and sauce-flavored liquor.
Although this round table is so rich, the people sitting at this table can't stop coughing one after another, and they can't wait to spit out a mouthful of old phlegm, which really makes people lose their appetite for this table full of deliciousness.
Ande couldn't help coughing, picked up the wine glass on the table and poured it violently, closed his eyes for a while before he spoke: "I'm drinking with my old friend, you can go eat and have fun." β
Limeng beside him obviously didn't want to leave Ande, but just raised his hand and ordered the brothers with swords around him to go out.
"You go too, I'm fine. Ander smiled at Rimon and said, "Don't worry, I've known him for many years and know him." β
Limon licked his lips and whispered, "But this time it's different, this time you're going to capture him." β
Ann shook his head helplessly and said, "Silly boy, when will you grow up?" After a pause, he continued: "If one day I turn into the yellow sand in the desert and go away with the wind, you yourself will have to think a lot about everything in this world. As soon as these words came out, Limeng's face immediately turned red, his body was trembling, and he squeezed out his mouth for a long time: "If you die, I will also die." With that, he pushed the door and walked out.
"If I die, you all have to live well. Ander muttered to himself and coughed again, and had to take another big sip of wine.

Speaking of Zhanhong again, the wind and rain outside did not stop, Zhanhong leaned against the wall to breathe, and the pain in his body made him tremble uncontrollably, allowing the torrential rain to hit his head and face.
"Hey, sir, I said you're okay, aren't you?" The person who spoke pulled a two-wheeled cart, and on the cart was the stove utensils for cooking wontons and steaming wheat.
Zhanhong looked up at him, smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.
The person pulling the cart put down the car, straightened the clothes he was wearing and walked towards Zhanhong, and said as he walked: "I see that you are shaking badly, such a heavy rain, if you have nowhere to go, go to my house first and spend the night." After speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Just don't dislike my dog kennel is in tatters." As he spoke, the cart puller had already come to Zhanhong, and he stretched out his hands to help Zhanhong.
Zhanhong saw that the cart puller stretched out his hand, and was about to greet him, only to see the cart puller's hands trembling, and two sleeve blades (creed) popped out in the sleeves of his clothes, and then saw that the sleeve blades under the cart puller's wrists had become meteors and stabbed straight to Zhanhong's neck. Zhan Hong saw the sleeve blade stabbing straight towards him, and hurriedly shrank his head and squatted, and the knife in his hand swung out to cut the lower abdomen of the cart puller. This Zhanhong's dodge and knife are done in one go, as fast as lightning.
"Thank you for your hard work. Zhan Hong glanced at the intestines on the ground and said to himself: "This ghost weather still comes out to sell wontons." With that, he turned around and staggered out of the alley.

In the blink of an eye, Ander poured a glass of wine and handed it to the person opposite: "Thank you for bringing me to this happy capital, but I blame my own body for not being angry, I'm afraid this disease can't be cured." β
Zhan Hong, who was on the other side of the round table, took the cup and looked at Ande, only to see that he had poured wine into his cup, and the two of them raised their glasses to each other and drank it all.
Ande put down his glass and said, "You and I are eating and drinking, don't let down this table full of delicacies." After speaking, he picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of meat from the belly of the arowana and put it in his mouth, squinting and chewing it carefully. Zhanhong took the wine bottle and poured a glass of rice wine and drank it with his neck up, but he couldn't arouse any interest in the food on the table, and there was still a faint pain in his body at this time, and the internal injuries suffered by the two hammers in Fang Cai were quite serious.
Seeing that Zhanhong didn't eat himself, An De put down his chopsticks, and said: "Retired from the school office, I thought you should cultivate yourself, but now it seems that your temper has not changed at all." After Ande finished speaking, he coughed again, and suppressed his cough for a long time before he continued: "You have made such a big noise again, and no one knows the light and dark roads in and outside the city." β
Zhanhong smiled and poured another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
With an itchy throat and eyes, and a worm crawling in his trachea, he coughed and said, "Why bother to see them like them, it's just a matter of a horse." β
"This group of thugs not only robbed my horse, but also made me lose Zhen'er. Zhan Hong didn't see the slightest wave on his face, and even when he said this, his eyes were straight and lifeless, but for some reason, a certain aura emanating from his body made people feel quite strange.
This strange atmosphere instantly filled the room, even the light became no longer warm, An couldn't help but shiver at himself, he looked at Zhanhong like a madman, the worm that was crawling to the trachea in his lungs just now disappeared without a trace, he stopped coughing because of the inexplicable nervousness, and was quiet for a long time before he cautiously asked, ", lose Zhen'er?"
Zhan Hong nodded after hearing this, and when he heard the word "Zhen'er", a smile appeared on his face again, he reached into his arms and took out the gold embroidered sachet, stroked it lovingly, and said: "If it weren't for those villains, Zhen'er would still be by my side." β
An imperceptible subtle expression flashed on Ande's face, like pity and sadness, only for a moment, it flashed: "You know that he is Dong Shilang's eldest son." β
"Even if he is Dong Shilang, what can he do?" Zhanhong finished speaking, and put the golden embroidered sachet back into his arms like a baby, and raised his eyes to look at Ande: "As long as I don't die, someone else will die." Ander didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to take the wine bottle and pour himself a glass, he raised the glass to his mouth and thought about it before putting it down, and said: "I heard that the school government also told you to stop, and someone will take care of the aftermath." β
"It's my own business, and I don't need to interfere with the government. Zhan Hong said coldly.
"When did you become so naΓ―ve, and it was your own business to kill the son of Sethi's retainer in the capital of Jeongguk?"
"Then what does this have to do with you?" Zhan Hong said and wanted to get up and leave the table.
An De didn't expect Zhanhong to speak like this, he was speechless for a while, he saw Zhanhong get up and wanted to leave, and made up his mind, it seems that the friendship for many years has long disappeared in the eyes of this demon-like madman, so he said: "I'll tell you where Dong Zhongying is." Zhan Hong stopped when he heard this.
After speaking, Ande looked at Zhanhong and said, "You can do it yourself." β
Zhan Hong didn't look back, pushed the door and left.
After a long time, Ande called Limon in, and he whispered a few words in his ear, and Rimon nodded yes and walked out of the spring breeze room.

At both ends of the book, Xidu Dongcheng time-honored mellow fragrance tavern, the wind and rain did not disrupt the daily rhythm of the store, the master supported the primary school apprentices to put the washed and soaked pork backbone into a large iron pot filled with cold water, and then poured into the whole bottle of rice wine and simmered slowly, during which the foam was skimmed, and then the prepared green onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, tangerine peel, pepper, bay leaves, soy sauce, fried sugar, sugar, Soybean paste and other condiments are successively put into the soup and stirred, seeing that the backbone is stewed until the meat is minced, the bones are sandwiched out and then the residue and waste in the soup are fished out with gauze nets, and finally only the bone broth is left.
This pot of soup was put aside, and the apprentices immediately began to clean up the cleaned chicken and duck claw wings, chicken head and duck head, chicken gizzard and duck tongue, pig's trotters and elbows, pork chops and intestines, etc., and then put them into the soup to soak after being cleaned, and after half an hour, the ingredients soaked in this large pot were on the stove again, and the soup in the cauldron was bubbling after a while.
Look at the old master holding a cigarette pouch in his mouth, holding a secret material bag wrapped in white gauze and throwing it into the pot, using a large frying spoon to continuously pour the boiling soup on the material bag, and finally reluctantly sinking this material bag into the soup.
This side is simmering, the fruit trees are lit under the smoker on the other side, the flame is gradually ignited, and the apprentices adjust the fire under the guidance of the master, so that there can be no open flame, and the temperature must be controlled just right, which is also quite a skillful thing. When the master saw that the fire was coming, he instructed the junior apprentices to spread a thick layer of pine needles on the smoker rack, and then sprinkled a large bag of salt on the pine needles, and finally evenly spread the black tea in the middle of the Southern Dynasty and Qiguo on the top of the salt.
The ingredients in the big iron pot were completely cooked after two hours of low heat stewing, so the master instructed the apprentices to take them out one by one, and then hang them above the smoker rack to smoke for half an hour.
Cao San picked up a innermost table and sat down, beckoned the shopkeeper to order a plate of four pieces of smoked sauce, which was a fat sausage, elbow, duck tongue and chicken feet, plus a plate of fried peanuts and two small stir-fried vegetables, and a pot of hot burning knives, poured a wine cup by himself, and took a small sip.
After nightfall, the mellow fragrance outside the wind and rain, the light in the store is soft and warm, the firewood in the stove crackles, and the sporadic tables of drinkers chatting with each other, which is really in stark contrast with the cold wind and night rain outside the door, such a comfortable and leisurely atmosphere embraces Cao San.
Cao San, who had just picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, didn't have time to swallow the meat, only to hear someone behind him say: "It's too ostentatious to meet in this kind of place." β
Cao San put down his chopsticks and looked back at the visitor, and said with a smile: "It's dark under the lamp, it's dark under the lamp." β
The visitor was noncommittal, pulled out the long chair under the table and sat down, found a wine cup and poured himself a full drink, and then said, "Is he safe?"
"Rest assured, he's in a place you never expect, and Bovu will be there for him. Cao San picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the fat intestines: "It's a pity that you can't eat pork." β
"If he really dies, how will it end?"
"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, if something really happens, it's at the will of the lord. Cao San took a sip of wine: "What changes have happened in the Green Willow Hall recently?"
"Jiang Hu is now in power, and Jiang Long's son Jiang Yi may be sent to Dongzhou by him. β
"Sent to Dongzhou?"
"Yes, Jiang Hu wants to send him overseas, the farther away from him, the better. β
"The delicacies in the high hall are about to be reduced to the bacon in the fly-headed restaurant. Cao San took another piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
"As long as it's delicious, it doesn't matter if it's a delicacy or bacon. β
