In the past three or four days, Chen Liu has also been free.

The ritual of transforming the souls of the dead unfolded in an orderly manner, and every morning he would recite the scriptures for a while before leaving.

Yesterday, after the seven-day ceremony, he took the soul flag handed to him by the sweeping old monk, and led the soul of the dead who was still entrenched in Qinyi Zhai, and went to Tantuo Temple together to receive the baptism of Buddhism.

Offering the soul banner outside the Mahavira Treasure Hall, this matter is over.

As for the errand that he somehow got from the prison, there was no follow-up.

Chen Liu also knew that Bai Jiu and Youlan were indeed not idle all day long.

Every morning, noon, dusk and midnight, they would leave Zhangzhou City to do something.

Originally, Chen Liu planned to mix, but was choked by Youlan.

"Will you come?" When it's time to do coolies, you have to come if you don't want to."

As a result, Chen Liu also had free time in this matter.

The prince also seemed to be a little busy, so he didn't look for him.

I heard that Zuo Xiangci came later, but I don't know what the follow-up will be.

His Royal Highness Mo Li rarely locked himself in the Shufang Pavilion, and he didn't see anyone all day, let alone make a fuss about going out.

Deputy Marshal Momei came suddenly once and brought the next step of the investigation.

Among the exam questions left by Feng Shuai, there are only three words this time:

"King Huainan."

This has no beginning or end, so Mo Mei explained:

"It's just his personal taste. Whether you answer or not is not a big problem. You become a bronze rod, and when you reach Longhu Mountain, everything will fall into place."

"Thank you, Lieutenant."

"Hmm."

They still don't have much to say.

Of course, in fact, the relationship between Chen Liu and Momei is not deep. Their inexplicable relationship is also because of Feng Shuai's chaotic mandarin duck spectrum.

So, in addition to finding Wu Xun, the head of the forbidden army, to learn martial arts in the past few days, Chen Liu was slashed by the sword master a few times every night.

Chen Liu also knew the reason for the knife master's guidance. Seeing that Chen Liu and Wanqiu had a close relationship, the knife master planned to repay one or two of the life-saving graces by instructing Chen Liu in the knife technique.

In the past few days, through the guidance of this sword master, Chen Liu's sword skills have improved a lot.

"Your way of pouring out your internal strength is too crude, and you can do six or seven points of useless work. The moves look good to play, but they're as weak as cotton. You'll see how I'm going to go with it."

The knife master's knife technique is wide open and close, and it is extremely strong, but his control is meticulous.

The knife can cut off the fallen leaves, and even remove its meridians without hurting its leaves, but cut off the fish scales so that the fresh fish does not feel half of the pain.

"Your sword is used for execution...... Well, you go on."

Chen Liu's brain circuits are always so strange sometimes.

It's just that this time the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, and the knife master nodded and replied:

"The old man was indeed the executioner outside the noon gate before, and this knife technique was also comprehended at that time. Later, after the knife skills were more proficient, the head of the prisoner was cut off, and the head could remain on the neck for a moment, and he could blink and speak. Later, because of his exquisite craftsmanship, the old man was transferred to be tortured Ling Chi. By the way, what is convenient is the old man's chopping. Three thousand six hundred knives, the knife fell. It's just that some of his hands are raw, and when he cuts, he screams a little louder."

Chen Liu was very impressed, and a bunch of rainbow sycophants came one after another.

Such a terrifying thing is said so coldly, it is worthy of being a predecessor in the rivers and lakes, but it is different.

"Done? You'll fight once."

After the knife master put away the knife, he stepped aside, wanting to see Chen Liu's understanding.

In terms of using knives, Chen Liu is not proficient, but after Yuan Ping's guidance at the beginning, he has a few foundations.

So although he couldn't swing the knife as well as the knife master, and he didn't grasp the essence, he still did it with seven points of resemblance and three points of godlikeness.

"Well, it's okay. In that case, I'll teach you a set of sword techniques of my own making."

Chen Liu originally thought that he could see some very wonderful knife skills, but he didn't expect the knife master to casually pick up a herring from the ornamental pool on the side.

Then he found a kitchen knife and said:

"This is the sword technique I learned when I was a firehead in the border army."

The knife master raised and fell, and he tried to slow down his technique, but it was still like lightning.

The fresh herring was originally alive, but after the blade touched the body, there was a pause for a moment.

Then the blade is horizontally placed, sliding down the lines on the fish's body, into the skin texture, deep in the flesh, dividing the skeleton and internal organs, and then quickly retracting the knife.

The pause then disappeared, and the herring jumped again.

The scales flew up, the flesh, bones and internal organs separated, and the fish died without even feeling the slightest pain.

Such knife work is really miraculous.

Chen Liu was sluggish and couldn't speak for a while.

The sword master was not proud, but said casually:

"Without it, only the hand is familiar. I heard that you are a good cook, so you can use this as a way to observe the Tao."

Chen Liu asked while packing up the fish:

"Senior, does this sword technique have a name?"

"Nope."

"How about the knife unraveling?"

"How do you know that the old man has killed cows for a while?"

"......" - senior, you are 360 lines, how many lines have you picked up?

The knife master didn't say anything more and agreed to the name of this knife technique.

Chen Liu also finished cooking the herring at the same time.

"You're better at this than I am."

After tasting it, the knife master did not hesitate to praise it. Then he asked Chen Liu to make two more copies to take away, ready to taste them for the prince and the princess.

After sending off the knife master, Chen Liu has been practicing this knife solving technique for the rest of his life.

"Huh? Knife master, you're cooking again?"

In the Qingxiao Palace, the prince was worried about the affairs of King Huainan, and suddenly smelled a fragrance, and then saw the knife master bring a bowl of fish soup.

He knows the details of the knife master.

Over the decades, the sword master has traveled to three hundred and sixty lines, and has practiced in each line for a while.

"This kid made it, and it tastes good. Your Highness can taste it."

For the knife master, Li Wan is still quite trusting.

Although this fish soup entered the hall a little unruly, it also made the serving palace maid take a spoon and drink a few sips.

"Well, it's pretty bright, I didn't expect him to have this kind of craft. That's the only skill left for the chef of the Imperial Dining Room."

Then Li Wan asked:

"Mo Li should like to drink."

"I've already sent one over."

"It's still the knife master's thoughtfulness."

After drinking the fish soup, Li Wan's spirit improved a little.

However, the problems that should be solved still lingered in his heart and could not be dissipated for a long time.

"Your Highness won't call him here?"

The two Grandmasters of Swords have more than enough to kill, but this kind of problem is difficult to work.

But Chen Liu ......

"It's a royal secret, after all......

However, the sword master's words made Li Wan wake up again:

"That handsome man is there, but in fact ......"

Li Wan suddenly realized and sighed:

"Yes."

So, Chen Liu's vacation came to an end, and he was summoned to Qingxiao Palace.

Li Wan didn't ask directly, so Chen Liuping asked with a smile behind him:

"The craftsmanship is good, there is a lack of a chef in the imperial dining room, are you interested?"

"Your Highness has praised it."

The two laughed with different mentalities and different statuses.

Then the prince said:

"Zuo Xiangci came before, and he expressed his respect for the royal family and the imperial court, and punished the guards

Generals and soldiers."

Seeing that he was no longer bored with greetings, Chen Liu replied:

"In the information given by His Highness, I have made a bold conclusion."

He handed over a note with eight words written on it.

"The wolf's ambition is to prevent the slightest slight."

Li Wan glanced at it, and then sighed with a meaningful smile:

"Bold indeed. I think you should be able to talk to those officials, at least they are not ordinary."

If Chen Liu described a local garrison commander in this way, Li Wan would have unceremoniously beheaded him.

Even though, what he said is indeed not unreasonable.

The following offenses actually only belong to those who are enthusiastic about the Dragon Stage.

It's just that they are for fame and profit, and Chen Liu is not very clear.

"I suddenly wanted to ask what do you think I would want."

This is a terrible question.

Speculation has always been a capital crime.

However, Chen Liu calmed down and wrote a few more words and presented them to the prince.

After the prince saw it, he laughed directly and said:

"You're really a roundworm in the belly of this palace."

"It is the heart of His Highness, which embraces heaven and earth."

There are a lot of words touted by business, and Chen Liu still has a lot of them in his stomach.

It's just that since the two of them don't like it very much, they just said one or two sentences and gave up.

Chen Liu then learned the news of the envoy of the king of Huainan.

A few days ago, the envoy of the King of Huainan came to the Qingxiao Courtyard, and in addition to sending gifts of Jiangnan specialties, he also brought a message.

"Uncle Wang took the initiative to inform him of all the business connections in Zhangzhou City. and pleaded guilty for his negligence."

The envoys of the king of Huainan were arranged very much in line with the etiquette system, and there was no trespassing. Even the most fussy old master will feel comfortable.

Of course, Li Wan doesn't care about this kind of small problem.

What he cared about was that the king of Huainan presented the news of the business community in Zhangzhou so frankly and in every detail.

"Uncle Wang's network is really huge. It seems that Zhangzhou is in the hands of those of them, but as long as Uncle Wang makes a move, he can instantly subvert the business community in Zhangzhou. At the same time, Uncle Wang also informed me in the letter that he would fully support the promotion of the new policy, and even asked if he would pilot it in the Jianghuai area in advance." z.br>

All this is a good thing, but Chen Liu saw that Li Wan's mood was not ordinary.

Such a character is either a virtuous saint or a murderer who hides deeply.

The world believes in the latter more, Li Wan is like this, and so is Chen Liu.

However, Chen Liu did not intend to speak.

Zuo Xiangci's case only involves the military power of a place, and it is not too big a matter to appropriately go beyond the scope of his own duties to express his opinions.

Royal affairs are equivalent to involving imperial power, and if an outsider touches it, it is a violation of the dragon's scales.

"The prince understands the righteousness, which is the blessing of the great beam."

Chen Liu only said this.

Li Wan didn't force him to say anything, but just ordered:

"Just think about it first."

Even if the crown prince wanted Chen Liu to participate, he would definitely not tell the royal secrets and dishes at one time.

Feng Shuai revealed that it was Feng Shuai's business, and he said that he would not say that it was the face of the entire royal family.

"Stand down."

"Yes."
