"I was watching the mountain scenery from the city tower, and I could hear the chaos outside the city ......"

Standing outside the room at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he could hear the sound of opera singing from inside, which was quite a bit of a sense of ease.

Gently pushed open the door, but did not see Mu Jingxi, and continued to walk towards the inner room at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and saw a scene that shocked him. At this time, Mu Jingxi was standing in front of the bronze mirror, dressed up carefully!

Although Mu Jingxi's clothes were neat and tidy in the past, and his appearance was clean and delicate, he never paid much attention to details. Today, not only did I comb my hair in a bun, but I also changed my outfit. It's completely different from the way you used to dress casually and wear your hair in a loose bun. While picking out clothes, he was stinky and beautiful in the mirror, and he sang a few words of opera from time to time, but he didn't notice the end of the Ming Dynasty behind him.

"It's good to say that the apricot blossoms are red for thousands of miles, and the flowers cover the beauty instrument. He put black boots and stirrups, and a jade belt to tie his waist, so that he could ride a high-priced horse and wear a time coat. ”

"Right away?" Yutai raised his eyebrows at the end of the year.

After singing, Mu Jingxi twisted his waist and carefully admired his heroic posture. Black silk and gold hair ties, bronzing round neck, wide sleeves, black satin and red court boots. In addition, the waist is stinky, and the jade admires his body, and he is alive and well with the image of a noble son.

Smelling the fragrance on his waist, Mu Jingxi was obviously not satisfied, and reached out and grabbed a handful of white jade powder......

"What nerves do you kid!" I really can't get used to Mu Jingxi's stinky and beautiful appearance, and the end of the Ming Dynasty is a brain collapse in the back of his head!

"Ah, Master, you're here, look at our appearance!" Mu Jingxi hurriedly faced the smell of the end of the Ming Dynasty.

I have to say that Mu Jingxi is already delicate and heroic, and if he cleans it up like this, he is indeed a little handsome. But the end of the Ming Dynasty didn't praise him: "Chief Horn Xiaoer, what kind of hair do you still tie?" Cut! ”

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he suddenly sneered and gave Yutai Ming Mo a roll of his eyes. Mu Jingxi is only thirteen years old, and he should indeed be the head of the makeup, but Mu Jingxi has always thought that he is naïve, coupled with his casual and lazy temperament, so he rarely ties his hair. He pouted and said, "God cares for us, give us a good skin, but we can't clean up and dress up." ”

"Cut, Wang Po sells melons!" The end of the Ming Dynasty.

"Yo, you're jealous, aren't you? Time passes without looking back, and the fresh meat is dried into bacon. Mu Jingxi sneered.

"Humph! Although the teacher has passed the age of establishment, he has always paid attention to maintenance. Not only does he have a naturally handsome foundation, coupled with the precipitation of the years, the sense of time and temperament in his bones is not comparable to you. Let's not talk about it now, let's just say that back then, as a teacher, he was also a famous handsome descendant in ten miles and eight towns, that guy, I don't know how many men are jealous......"

Looking at the chatter of the end of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Jingxi suddenly looked surprised, and said sarcastically in a translator's tone: "Oh! Oh my Pangu! Look at this chattering Mr. Tantai! Look at what he's talking about! Oh! Dear Mr. Tantai, what are you really stimulated by? May Pangu forgive your foolish soul! ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out! An ear scraper beckoned over - I didn't expect Mu Jingxi to be on guard, just in that electric light and stone fire, he picked up the teacup on the table and splashed it......

After a while, both the master and apprentice were tired and out of breath. Yutai Mingmo sat on the table, rested for a while, and said to the "tablecloth": "I said that your kid is dressed so charmingly today, which tailor shop are you going to cooperate with?" ”

The "tablecloth" struggled for a moment, and shouted, "Cut! What do you know? Which tailor can afford me? Of course, you have to clean up when you see your sweetheart! ”

"Oh? Which sow? ”

"Get out! You're a sow! ”

"Yo?" When he heard this, he got up and said, "Who?" ”

Yutai got up at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Jingxi quickly moved his muscles, and then said shyly: "That's it...... That! ”

"What day?"

"Oops! That! ”

"Who should I be?" Shantai sneered at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and what Mu Jingxi said should be the woman he met at the gate of the city that day.

"It's not an exhibition today." Mu Jingxi smirked.

Yutai Mingmo shook his head, and his tone became serious: "You kid, you don't have a proper line, let's say it." ”

The end of the Ming Dynasty knew that what he dressed up to meet the person he wanted was completely Mu Jingxi's nonsense, and he must have some reason to go to the woman by name. Mu Jingxi grinned when he heard this. Yes, he did seek out the woman for another reason.

"Tell me, what did you find?"

"Hehe, Master, what do you think of that woman?" Mu Jingxi asked rhetorically.

"Well, it shouldn't be from some jewelry store." Yutai Mingmo thought for a while.

"Why?"

"That woman is extraordinarily luxurious, and the financial resources of the forces behind her are naturally undoubted, but I don't think that woman's behavior is like a business trip, and there is a faint trace of nobility. Besides, according to common sense, businessmen are generally low-key, and that would be so ostentatious. "Yutai pondered at the end of the year.

"But there are always exceptions to everything, or is this a gimmick of a certain chamber of commerce?" Mu Jingxi asked again.

"Possibly, I guessed it before, but ...... Do you remember a couple of carriages at the back of the line? "Yutai Mingmo asked.

"Yes." Mu Jingxi replied. After those carriages, they left deep rut marks on the ground, which means that they must have been loaded with extremely heavy objects. can leave such a mark, it seems that there is a high probability of gold and silver inside!

"Yes, if you are here to exhibit, you should focus on the display of techniques, and you only need to bring some fine products. Therefore it must contain silver and gold that has not yet been made into vessels. "The end of the Ming Dynasty.

"Could it be the gold and silver materials escorted by the local gold bank?"

"Unlikely, after all, the escort team should not be so high-profile. As far as I guess, it's likely that they're coming to the show to bid for something. What do you think? ”

"I think the same as you, but I still need you to help me confirm it. After listening to your analysis, what I found earlier makes sense. Mu Jingxi said.

"What?"

"A man on horseback who followed the team, or a bag that was inadvertently exposed around his waist!" Mu Jingxi said.

It turned out that the end of the Ming Dynasty was not a person from the Tiansheng Empire, so he couldn't recognize it. But for Mu Jingxi, this thing is not unfamiliar. In the Tiansheng Empire, all officials wear a sigil to prove their identity and rank. Officials of the third grade and above wear the turtle talisman, and the lower to the fifth grade wears the fish talisman, and then, the turtle talisman and the fish talisman are packaged in gold, silver, and copper bags, which is why there is the saying "golden beetle son-in-law".

And what the man was wearing was a silver-veined fish talisman, that is, this person was a fourth-grade official! But with such an identity, why is it at the back of the team? What should that woman be? So, they definitely won't be the jewelers who came to the exhibition!

"Interesting." The end of the Ming Dynasty also became curious about the woman.

Nuku City, Shocking Town.

The town is built on a steep cliff and is a spectacle. Except for a slightly open slope below, the town is full of stone chambers carved out of the mountain and hung on the cliffs. In the meantime, the plank roads are connected, spectacular and majestic! It is more appropriate to "stick" on it than to build on a mountain.

And the most eye-catching is the "Flying Eagle Fort" built by digging mountains and rocks! This fort was originally a military fortress built by the Empire, and the fortress was planted with mountains and expanded with granite for three floors, which was difficult for even Void Realm warriors to shake. Coupled with the numerous stone chambers and barracks excavated on the cliffs below, it constitutes an impregnable fortification. With the gradual expansion of the territory of the Tiansheng Empire, this place was abandoned. Later, the local residents continued to dig the mountain and build their houses on the cliffs with timber, which became the wonder of today.

Looking at the plank road under his feet, Mu Jingxi couldn't help but be amazed. The houses and walkways here are all supported by hardwood columns that dig deep into the rocks of the mountain, and even if they are compared to those stone chambers, they are not much stronger! And those huge stone chambers are no longer cold military barracks, but small settlements with flourishing commerce. Just like a mountain that Mu Jingxi just stepped into, the lights inside it were bright, and there was a restaurant and five families in the stone room here. And walking to the top of the mountain made Mu Jingxi's mouth widen.

The mountain below the Flying Eagle Fort has been carved out of a market with three vertical and two horizontal, and the top of the market is illuminated like the sun by a luminous stone.

The master and apprentice did not stay long, passing through the market, there was a stone cave at the edge of the cave, and entering the cave, there was a long and narrow stone staircase straight up. After walking for a long time, when they could leave the tunnel, the two of them had reached the top of the mountain, and saw the magnificent building in front of them, which was the Flying Eagle Castle!

Looking at the outline of the city built along the mountain, completely isolating this place from the outside world, Mu Jingxi couldn't help but sigh, this Flying Eagle Castle is really not simple. If you want to get here, you must pass through the stone steps inside the mountain, and the stone steps are guarded by various stone chambers and plank road posts built inside and outside the mountain, so it can be said that once a war breaks out, this place can quickly become a wedge in the southwest of the empire, playing a great military role.

"This Flying Eagle Fort is surrounded by stone chambers and outposts, which are connected by plank roads and tunnels in a network. In the event of an enemy, it can be fortified on a large scale, and if that outpost is captured, it only needs to block the connecting roads to cut it off from traffic and become an island. In addition, you see, the distribution of the barracks at all levels is in the wrong shape, and the terrain is dangerous, the enemy can only advance between the canyon and the depression, and no matter which point will face at least four crossbow arrows, the high barracks can be condescending, in a state of cross-shooting, tsk...... It's amazing. ”

Holding on to the castle, a man looked around, analyzing the layout of the Flying Eagle Fort to his companions. Mu Jingxi was also fascinated by it.

However, no matter how ingenious it is, the current Flying Eagle Fort is no longer a place of iron horses, only the traces on the base body silently tell the once glorious years. However, on the other hand, if Eagle Castle could speak, it would be pleased with its current prosperity.

Because it was still early, the master and apprentice were not in a hurry, so they were ready to go around, but Mu Jingxi really couldn't play with the end of the Ming Dynasty, so the two agreed to meet again in the evening. After wandering around for a long time, Mu Jingxi suddenly smelled a fragrance, turned his head over, and saw a wine shop, so he walked into it.

"Guest, what's the matter?"

Seeing Mu Jingxi sitting down, a runner hurriedly wiped the table and poured tea.

"What's special?" Mu Jingxi asked.

"Hehe, guest officer, don't look at us as just a small stall, but there are a lot of good things. It's extremely famous in this area. As long as it's not dragon liver and phoenix marrow, you have everything. Dishes from the north and south of the land and water, as long as there are ingredients, we can make them. Xiao Er said with a smile.

"Oh? That's a bit of an overstatement. Mu Jingxi said with a smile.

"Hahaha, it's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's not bragging. We have a lot of customers who have traveled from south to north, but all the guests who have been here, no matter who they are, we can basically meet their requirements. "Xiao Erdao.

"So, you're proficient in all major cuisines?" Mu Jingxi was interested.

"Let me tell you this, our boss here is the head chef, and he used to be the private chef of the previous Lord of Esong County." Xiao Er was quite proud.

"Oh, that's what happened." Mu Jingxi nodded, there is a way to hide in the city, it seems that this Nuku is a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden.

Seeing this, Xiao Er was a little surprised, although Mu Jingxi was dressed luxuriously, they had also been a lot of prominent people, but it was the first time that they heard the identity of the chef but were so calm.

Hearing is false, Mu Jingxi immediately decided to test this store, and said: "Hold the carp in your arms." ”

In the back kitchen, a big man is turning the spoon, and the three little guys are extremely neat, as long as the big man orders, they can immediately prepare the ingredients and tools that the big man needs. Although the Han has a rough face, his technique is extremely delicate, and it will not take long to complete a dish.

At this moment, Xiao Er came to him and said to the big man: "Shopkeeper, someone ordered." ”

"Oh, what do you want to eat?" Dahan said while rubbing his hands.

"Say what...... Embracing carp. ”

Hearing this, the big man immediately took a meal and asked, "Confucian cuisine?" Who is it? ”

Xiao Er opened the curtain, and the big man glanced at it and saw Mu Jingxi who was drinking tea.

"Shopkeeper, is there any problem?"

"It seems that I want to test the old man...... Hehe, no problem. ”

Mu Jingxi drank tea and waited, but he wanted to see the boss's craftsmanship. It turned out that Mu Jingxi's "embracing carp" had a deep meaning. As the restaurant said, if a customer orders something that can be made with exotic ingredients, they can't do anything about it. But if it's an ordinary ingredient, then no matter what the cuisine, they can be handy. But if it's just an ordinary dish, you can't see the chef's skills, so Mu Jingxi ordered this Confucian dish made of carp.

Another way is that "you don't get tired of eating, you don't get tired of being fine", the famous dishes of Confucius are the most elegant, which can truly reflect the level of the chef, and the carp is not a rare ingredient, but it is not a difficult store.

Looking at the shopkeeper who personally handled every link, Xiao Er was a little puzzled: "Shopkeeper, you are just doing firework on weekdays, how can you do it yourself today?" ”

"This guest is not simple, carp is just an ordinary thing, it is not difficult, he wants to test our craft."

"What the hell is this bosom carp?"

"This dish is made from a combination of large and small fresh carp, and the rest of the ingredients are just ordinary fat, fungus, etc. But this dish is a Confucian dish! What really sculpts is the craftsmanship of the cabinet. Ordinary people may not have heard of it, so this person is only afraid of some background, and his knowledge is also extraordinary, of course, he must not be sloppy. ”

"I see!"

......

After a while, the dish was finished, and under Xiao Er's nervous gaze, Mu Jingxi savored it, and after tasting it, he knew the depth, and he gave a thumbs up at that time. It seems that this shopkeeper is really extraordinary!

Xiao Er bowed down and retreated, and Mu Jingxi savored it.

This shopkeeper really lives up to its name, no wonder such a small stall, but there are endless customers.

"Yo, carp in your arms? The little brother is very good at eating. At this moment, a slightly flirtatious voice sounded.

Mu Jingxi looked for a sound, and it turned out to be a man sitting next to him. The man got up and saluted with a fist at Mu Jingxi, who hurriedly stopped and returned the salute with a fist. I saw that the man was about 30 to 40 years old, dressed plainly, and there was always a bit of laziness in his behavior, and the most striking thing was his eyebrows, one black and one white, which was very strange. Medium height, slightly blessed, square pavilion, iris shoulder turtle ridge.

"Little brother, you shouldn't be a local, right? Said that you can eat, but you don't taste the local food here, say you can't eat, and know this Confucian cuisine. The man grinned and raised an eyebrow at Mu Jingxi.

"What do you have to say?"

"Eh, don't be so polite, you're a snacker, I'm an old foodie, why don't we share a table and taste each other's dishes?" The flower-eyed man said. Then he put the flask in his hand on the table.

"Hehe, since Mr. has this kind intention, then please take a seat." Mu Jingxi said.

"Refreshing!" The flowery man said.
