It's unimaginable that a guy as rough as Cheng Biting Jin would have such a powerful cooking skill!

In such a short period of time, stir-frying, steaming, stewing, pickling, and so much a rich table of banquets, and the texture and taste of each dish are completely different, compared with this rich experience, those who claim to be the god of cooking in Chang'an City should be ashamed to hang themselves!

He completely forgot his determination not to drink the water from the stolen spring.

After reacting, the dazzling banquet in front of him and the rice bucket as high as half of Li Township next to him were already empty!

Of course, most of them are due to Kunlun Miller.

After eating all the grains of rice without being ashamed, he was satisfied, picked up the dishes and went to do the chores.

Li Bai, who watched it, sighed for a while.

The swordsman who used to be a skilled swordsman has been reduced to a ruthless rice machine.

But he seemed to be enjoying it, and he didn't feel aggrieved at all. From the bottom of my heart, I love this kind of day when I look at the gate every day and do chores to eat enough.

It's a little too easy to satisfy.

But when he looked at the table full of swept dishes, he suddenly felt a calm and down-to-earth atmosphere.

After coming to Chang'an, it was the first time he was so peaceful and quiet.

The city is too big.

It was too gorgeous and beautiful, and it was dazzling to devote itself to it, and everyone was in a hurry, chasing distant goals, going farther and farther......

In this way, I gradually forgot the simple life and the appearance of the past.

And now, in Cheng Yanjin's house, Li Bai has a rare sense of ease of returning to the wilderness.

Moreover, it is even more bizarre feeling: such a life of eating and exercising every day, eating a meal after exercising, and finally sleeping beautifully?!

And there's a lot of wine to drink!

Why don't you give up your jailbreak plan and stay a few more days?

Wait, is this Cheng Biting Jin's conspiracy and purpose!

It's just too insidious......

He couldn't help but glare at the guy across the table who was starting to show off his muscles again.

Then he picked up the flask next to his hand and poured himself a large glass.

The wine is innocent, and if you don't drink it after opening, it will be bad, but it can't be wasted!

Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon!

It's just that when he picked up the wine glass, his eyes involuntarily looked out of the door, on the sycamore in the courtyard...... Among the dense foliage, the scarlet pupil of the eye.

The ominous bird fluttered its black wings and jumped on the branches, but instead of screaming, it seemed to be secretly watching something.

Crow.

As soon as his brows furrowed, he saw the drunk Cheng Yanjin casually pick up a chicken bone on the table and throw it into the night outside the door.

A low howl was heard, and the crow fell from the branch in disarray.

Soon, he was lifted by Cheng Yanjin's neck.

"Hey, I'm so lucky, I'm worried that tonight's supper is too vegetarian-"

He tied up the crow casually and shook it in his hand: "With so much meat, it must be very nourishing to make old soup!" ”

In his smug laughter, more crows rose from the branches and flew off into the distance.

In the middle of the night, the fang market stretched out, and the distant lights faintly illuminated the outline of the tower.

Countless crows rose and fell, but silently, only a pair of scarlet eyes glowing in the darkness, which made people shudder.

The gray-robed old man stood in front of the window, reaching out to catch the birds falling in the night sky, listening to the obscure chirping of the people.

After a long time, he turned and shook his head at the gloomy man in green shirt behind him.

"Helper, he doesn't agree."

"Don't you see that guy Ji Xianke?" The man with the sword asked in a cold voice, "Isn't it possible to ask him to make a move for 50,000 gold?" ”

The old man in gray shook his head, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "He said...... The position of the owner is supreme and noble, and if you want him to go out, unless you have 200,000 gold, you don't have to talk about it. ”

"Two hundred thousand gold? Do you really think that his name as the number one swordsman in Chang'an City is worth much? ”

The helper sneered: "Well, since he doesn't give face, then naturally there is no need to say more...... What's wrong with that kid named Li Bai? ”

"After being sent to Cheng Mansion by the owner of Guangdefang, there was no news."

The old man in gray reported: "The crows I arranged have also been beaten down, and I don't dare to do more snooping. ”

“…… That's fine. ”

The helper's expression was gloomy, and he pressed the hilt of his sword for a long time: "There are many backers behind that guy Cheng Biting Jin, and it is inconvenient for us to do it."

Let Li Bai that kid live in peace for a few days, and he will naturally have his hardships later.

However, the remnants of Anle Fang are jumping more and more, and the order is passed on, so that people can watch it carefully, and not be ruined by a group of untouchables. ”

"I understand below."

In the dim moonlight, several crows spread their wings and flew away with bad news.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Bai woke up from his dream.

In the high-pitched sound of stones rubbing, he seemed to see his dream of a good night's sleep on his wings and gradually moving away from him.

He rolled over, closed his eyes, and tried to sleep again, but the constant noise made him sleepy.

Annoyed, he got up and pushed open the window.

Sure enough, I saw the shirtless man in the courtyard, holding several huge stone locks in his hand and throwing them like playing with toys, and the terrifying wind pressure spread. Occasionally, the stone locks collided in the air, bursting out with a series of high-pitched sounds that made the scalp tingle.

Every ...... At least hundreds of pounds, right?!

Li Bai was stunned.

"Hahaha, is the kid finally awake?"

The stone locks in Cheng Biting Jin's hand were stacked in the air like a trick, which was even more exaggerated than the height of ordinary people, and they were held in his hands at will.

"You are really good enough to sleep, and the donkeys in Dongshi don't dare to rest like you!"

He grinned and urged, "Hurry up and get up, let's start our happy morning exercise!" ”

"Forget it, this method doesn't work for me!"

Li Bai shook his head frantically in resistance: "Too vulgar, and ...... deceit"

"Yo? Looking down on strength training? I'll talk about this kind of thing when you can beat me! ”

"You have the ability to give me the sword!"

Li Bai was angry: "I'll immediately teach you the eighteen ways to write the sword, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Hey, that's my trophy."

Cheng Yanjin scratched the beard on his chin and said without shame: "Besides, where is the reason to know that the opponent is good at swordsmanship and give someone a handle?" You're not a fool. ”

Li Bai felt that he was really stupid.

How did this guy say such outrageous words so justifiably?

Besides, it was his own weapon, and when did it become his trophy?

Just as he was shocked, a swarthy head suddenly rose by the window.

"Young man, are you awake?" Kunlun Mole solemnly reminded: "Hurry up, I will still give you your breakfast on the stove to heat, there is meat this morning, it will not taste good if it is left for a long time." ”

As he said this, Kunlun Mole was still holding a watering can in his left hand and a small tongs in his right hand. The burly man had an apron on his body, stained with mud and dust, and the oversized apron was on him, but it was as tight as a belly pocket.

It's weird.

"What are you doing?"

Li Bai was at a loss, not knowing what the hell this guy was planning when he was ambushed outside his window.

"Weeding and watering the flowers."

Kunlun Mole replied: "No one comes to Cheng Mansion every day, and I am idle, so I will let the master clean up the backyard and flower beds in the mansion for me."

That cabbage you ate yesterday tastes good, right? I planted it myself! ”

Speaking of this, he smiled proudly, and it was a great thing to grow delicious cabbage from the bottom of his heart.

When Li Bai put on his clothes and went out, he saw the flowers around the yard that he had ignored.

In stone troughs, flower pots and nurseries, flowers of all kinds are blooming prominently. Even though Li Bai traveled all the way and was about to travel all over the world, he still had never seen so many kinds of flowers blooming together.

Peony, white orchid, calendula, daisy, peacock grass......

There are many kinds of flowers that he has never seen before.

There are also flowers that are clearly past the season, but bloom brilliantly under the supply of Chang'an's geothermal heat.

The burly giant squatted among the flowers, pinching pliers several sizes smaller than his palm, carefully cutting off the tiny branches, and delicately pulling out the weeds from the soil with his fingers the thickness of a mallet, peeling off the roots, and planting another tulip from Haidu into the soil to settle a new home.

Thanks to the presence of these flowers, the rough and weird style of Cheng Mansion has become softer, and it has changed from a fighting arena to a home where people can live in peace.

All kinds of colors show a vibrant beauty under the careful care of Kunlun Miller.

Not only here, but also the lotus flowers in the water tank, the creeper on the wall, the camellia and lilacs on the trees......

When you close your eyes and sniff, you'll feel like you're in a jungle.

"These ...... You planted it? Li Bai exclaimed.

"That's right."

Kunlun Mole scratched the hair on his head that was braided, as if he was a little embarrassed: "In the past, my family's flowers were very famous in Chang'an, but unfortunately I couldn't plant them anymore. ”

He sighed and didn't say anything more.

I don't want to talk too much about the past.

When the rough fingers gently trim the branches of the flowers, the faintly gloomy expression becomes quiet and gentle, full and enviable.

It's as fresh as a flower blooming at the moment.

"That's amazing."

Li Bai sighed admiringly: "Can you teach me next time?" ”

Li Xiang is about to celebrate his birthday, and Li Bai suddenly has a new idea.

If it's a flower, even if you can't see it, you'll be able to smell such a reassuring fragrance, right?

Kunlun Mole smiled innocently: "Okay, but many people feel that it is troublesome, a waste of effort, and it will delay your time." ”

"It's okay."

Li Bai bent down, lightly touched the dew on the branches, and smiled: "They are so beautiful, it's not a pity to spend a little time for them." ”

If it weren't for the anxiety in your heart and the constant anxiety, it would actually be a very refreshing thing to stay in the Cheng Mansion.

There is wine and meat, and the three meals are exquisite, with a wide variety and no duplicates. In addition to always urging Li Bai to exercise with him, this muscular and somewhat overly middle-aged man is actually quite talkative.

What is rare is that even in the face of a young man like Li Bai, he can be sincere, talk about everything, never act like a big man, and his style of acting is too much for Li Bai's appetite.

Aside from not letting him go out, there are simply no drawbacks to the rest.

In the early years, he didn't know how many places he had visited, he knew everything, but he could always say that the head of any slightly famous place was the Tao.

Take it with wine, and the aftertaste is long.

Moreover, the Great Wall style in his mouth is very detailed, whether it is the customs outside the Saiwai or the Great Wall guards that Li Bai has been curious about for a long time, they all know a lot of things.

In addition to being interested and writing two quite satisfactory poems, Li Bai also began to wonder, did this guy stay there for a few years?

It's just that Cheng Yanjin has never avoided talking about his identity, and his mysterious and secretive appearance makes people extremely curious.

Being able to buy such a large house in Xinghuafang, where every inch of land is expensive and celebrities gather, is really not something that ordinary powerful people can do.

But since he didn't want to say more, Li Bai didn't bother to ask.

Just a little skeptical...... The guy who can travel on the same level as that despicable great elder is afraid that he is also a fang owner, right?

In the afternoon, when he was drowsy, he felt a sudden tremor of the earth.

Roar!

Immediately after, countless panicked shouts in the distance sounded along with the violent shaking under his feet, causing Li Bai to jump up from his chair, only to see the willow trees in the courtyard shaking violently.

And the solid earth under his feet shook like a sampan on the sea.

In the deepest part of the earth, there was a long and mighty roar, and countless huge structures resonated and turned into a giant beast-like roar!

Soon, the sudden turmoil came to an end.

There is no beginning and no tail.

Li Bai looked at Cheng Yanjin under the willow tree suspiciously.

I found out that this guy was still drinking afternoon tea with a few exquisite snacks!

Be unwavering!

It seems that even if the sky falls apart, it can't stop him from eating......

"What's wrong?" He asked, "Earthquakes?" ”

"What's the panic? Normal operation. ”

Cheng Biting Jinzi slipped through the tea and waved his hand calmly: "Every time a new Fang Market is born, it will be like this, and the other Fang markets will be rearranged to make room for the new Fang Market access, and in this process, Chang'an will be turbulent from time to time......

"Yu Hengsi's gang didn't say a word?"

Li Bai listened to the screams coming from outside, and couldn't restrain his annoyance.

I don't know how many people suffered from this sudden earthquake, but if it is more serious, the property damage is not bad, but I am afraid that it will hurt lives.

After coming to Chang'an for so long, Li Bai is no longer the bewildered outsider he was at the beginning, at least...... He also knew the meaning of the name Yu Hengsi.

It maintains all the public institutions in the entire Chang'an City, governs all the institutions in the city, and makes the practitioners smell the institutional departments.

After bringing together the best mechanics and techniques in the world, Yu Hengsi can be said to be the supreme authority of the mechanics. Among the three divisions, the status is also hidden in the Honglu Temple that maintains law and order and the Dali Temple for major cases. It can be said that it is a behemoth with flawless financial, human, material, military and technical capabilities.

He has so much power, but he treats his duties so lightly.

Li Bai couldn't imagine what kind of goods they were.

"Hahaha, although Yu Hengsi is a bunch of bastards, you would have wronged them too much if you said that." Cheng Yanjin laughed and shook his head: "They want to predict in advance, but they don't know it themselves, so how can they tell you?" ”

Li Bai was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Literally...... Although the imperial court claimed that Yu Hengsi was responsible for maintaining the operation of Chang'an, in fact, the operation of Chang'an had its own rules, and it was not at all that Yu Hengsi could interfere with.

At best, those guys are just tools used to maintain Chang'an, and they want to rely on them to correct the operation of Chang'an? It's still early! ”

In this way, he unscrupulously revealed the secret that should have been sealed behind the layers of curtains.

"From ancient times to the present, the operation of Chang'an has never been amorphous, and there has never been a mechanic who can control such a huge mechanism...... In fact, even its own operation law, Yu Hengsi has not understood it until now, at best, it is just through the comparison of historical materials and records, the birth and fall of Fang City are calculated in advance. ”

"Wait!"

Li Bai raised his hand and carefully sorted out his thoughts: "I have heard before that there is a huge mechanism under Chang'an, and it turns out that it turned its own ...... from the beginning."

"That's right."

"There are so many mechanics in Chang'an, but in fact, no one has ever been able to control it?"

"That's right." Cheng bit his golden chin and sighed leisurely: "On the other hand, Chang'an is the teacher of all the organ teachers, and until now, we haven't finished learning what we should learn." I really want to know what kind of force can create such a miracle...... Only the legendary gods can do that......"

Li Bai once again felt the power of Chang'an, the most magnificent city of institutions on the mainland: "It is truly amazing that people and institutions can coexist in harmony to such an extent!" ”

He was a little curious: "So many people live on top of the operating organs, and they don't know the laws of the operation of the organs, so there won't be any unpredictable dangers?" ”

Cheng Yanjin asked rhetorically, "Do you know why the earth can carry all things? Why don't the stars in the sky fall, and why doesn't the sea flood the earth? We just don't understand...... Chang'an is not such a fragile thing. ”

As he spoke, he bent down, stroked the ancient city under his feet, and sighed in awe: "It is older than us, and it is stronger than us."

It has never refused our arrival, on the contrary, it has been like a generous mother, giving us more wisdom and knowledge.

It has not rejected people, so why should people be afraid of it? ”

"......" Li Bai was silent for a long time, and asked curiously: "But, will it really be conscious?" ”

"Who knows."

Cheng Yanjin leaned back on the rocking chair, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes comfortably: "I don't care, because I like it." ”

Like.

These two words are stronger than any reason.

Li Bai was deeply admired.

This guy can always pull some absurd things as if they were the truth, but sometimes, Li Bai will feel that if he can see the whole world from his perspective......

This world will definitely be much more exciting and happy, right?

The only drawback is that it can often be perceived as a convulsion......

It's really, incomprehensible.

Li Bai looked at him for a long time, shook his head helplessly, and lay back in the chair.

Close your eyes and sigh silently.

Compared with Cheng Yanjin, who loves the city so frankly, Lu Gong, who shelters the lives and tranquility of countless remnants, and Xun Qing, who is now running for this......

And he was imprisoned in this cage of protection, doing nothing......
