Volume 1 The Rise of Dingxi Chapter 16 The Wisher Takes the Bait [3]

Inside the palace of Dingxi Wangfu.

I don't know how Ren Yang did it, so he fooled this group of Xuan Crow Army who would die once they fought.

But at this moment, he was taking his grandson to the back kitchen of the palace surrounded by the Xuan Crow Army.

I saw Ren Yangzai carefully re-wrapping the fishing sword and standing by the wall. Then a new black robe was revealed, with locks on the collar and cuffs. After being put on the body, it is tight and impermeable. Then he folded a square scarf neatly and covered it over his mouth and nose.

After doing all this, he beckoned his grandson to fetch water to clean his hands.

In Ren Yang's view, eating is a very exquisite job.

People have to eat every day, but most people can't be called able to eat in their lifetime.

You can see this as soon as you put it on the table.

In the previous dynasty, there was a person who relied on food = a master, and summarized eating into five realms.

The first thing is to eat.

It's just a simple "hungry stomach", that is, don't let your stomach not be hungry when you are full. This is the most basic satisfaction, because if you can't even eat the first thing, then the person will not be long in life.

The second is to love to eat.

People who have reached this level have a desire for food and a desire to eat. On weekdays, I ordered a table of similar banquets to fight tooth sacrifices, and then scalded two catties of wine and shouted and drank when I got to the scene, which is also a kind of joyful thing.

The third is to be able to eat.

People in this realm take food as a hobby to cultivate and care, and when they find out where there is deliciousness, they will definitely go to hunt for beauty, and what they pursue is a peculiar word.

Ren Yang also arrived at this third layer not long ago.

The fourth is to know how to eat.

This layer has begun to go deep into the ingredients and tastes, and the five elements of yin and yang are in the mouth. Everything is fateful, but it is exhaustive.

A bite and a basket are all in the road, and a product and a taste are the heavens.

As for the fifth...... But because it is too old, it has been lost.

All in all, the boundless wind and moon in this food is comparable to his grandson and the fishing sword in his hand in Ren Yang's opinion.

In this regard, what he admires the most is Ma Wenchao of the Xiangteng Inn Zhongdu Main Store.

It is said that he traveled to the Nine Mountains with two kitchen knives to collect rare game in the world. Then he entered the road with a kitchen, shoveling the left and spooning the right, and there is no one in the world to control the fire.

Back then, Ren Yang was fortunate enough to eat once. The dishes are clean and delicious, but the ingredients are extremely common, such as vegetables, tofu, fish, chicken, and so on.

He tasted it, and the smell of the mouth alone ran into his stomach and jumped up the door of his head.

Ren Yang circled around the kitchen a few times, and the Xuan Crow Army followed him a few times with a knife and followed him around his buttocks.

In the end, several of the original cooks of the palace trembled and pointed to the meat table next to them, on which was an extremely fresh buffalo that had just been slaughtered this morning.

Ren Yang chose a beef leg and took the leg tendon between the meat, which was neither refined nor fat.

Then he picked a sharp knife to remove the film.

Simmer with three points of wine and two parts of water until it is extremely rotten, and then add a spoonful of autumn oil to collect the soup.

The little boy stepped on the stool to reach the stove desperately, and he didn't care about the hot pot in the pot, so he inserted a piece of meat into his mouth with chopsticks, and the aroma that spread out made the crows around him swallow saliva like wooden stakes.

Dingzhou Mansion Inn.

Shi Yifeng was hard to swallow the wine and food on this table.

He is a man from the south and has a light taste.

The meat in the northwest is too meaty, and the wine is too turbid.

It was dark outside the window, and he suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to.

For no reason, I began to doubt my choice again.

But all he sought was a better life.

In other words, as long as you live, you should live well.

In this way, he has been peaceful for more than five years.

There was an old rattan recliner in the room, and he sat on it and drank a pot of wine directly to the spout, and his body kept pushing back and back......

I'm afraid this rattan chair has been around for some years, and it keeps creaking with the shaking of Shi Yifeng's body.

At the end of the corridor, the younger brother was leaning his head against the wall pillar and dozing off.

There are not many people today, and he can steal half a day of leisure.

What's more, there is always a rhythmic squeak in my ears, which is like the best lullaby in the world at this moment.

On the other side, Liu Ruiying followed the inner guard gate to the gate of the house.

"Liu Ruiying, Liu Ruiying, take this step, whether it is the sword mountain and the sea of fire or the gentle fairyland, you don't have a choice!"

In the main hall, servants kept carrying wine from the warehouse.

Although Huo Wang said that he had rewarded 300 pieces of pine wine in the soup, he was alone and empty-handed. had to let Tang Ming use the cellar in the Dingzhou Mansion first, even if the jade liquid elixir from his own palace was transported, it would still take time, wouldn't it?

"Your Majesty, Lord Governor. Directly under the king of Qingzhong, under the command of the Governor of the Central Capital Investigation Division, and the special investigation envoy from the northwest of Tianmu Province, Liu Ruiying came to pay a visit!"

At this moment, the doorman in charge of the report entered the main hall and said loudly.

Tang Zhongsong's heart shrank when he heard this.

This Liu Ruiying didn't come sooner or later, but at this time, he met Huo Wang face to face...... But when he turned his head and saw his father's indifferent face, he instantly understood.

"Why did this person from the Investigation Division come to Dingzhou to visit me? Your Majesty, look at this ......?"

Tang Ming asked.

"Since I came to Dingzhou to visit you Tangzhou, it is naturally up to you to decide. This king will not take the lead from the crowd, so don't worry. ”

Huo Wangyun said lightly, and let the left and right renew another cup of tea.

Tang Ming...... You are really too clever, and you have calculated on the head of this king! This investigation department has taken your people, and you want this king to stand up for you? Don't be too clever to calculate everything!"

Huo Wang had already had murderous intentions towards Tang Ming.

If it weren't for his intoxication with the Star Sword Martial Dao, he would have lacked skills. Dingqin led the army to completely wipe out the grassland royal court, and never suffered in the future.

In this way, Tang Ming naturally became a useless person.

The birds are all hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked. He has his own destination.

But at the moment, he can't be in a hurry, he still has to rely on him to govern Dingzhou and the border towns. As a last resort, I can only make a false deal with him.

"Your Majesty, you have decreed that I should drink all these three hundred hu within today, but there is not much time left for today. Why don't we drink together when we set up a banquet for the king to catch the wind?"

Tang Zhongsong took a step forward and said.

"Oh, so you're bargaining with the king?"

Huo Wang thought that this Tang Gongzi was an interesting young man.

Although it is unrelenting, it has a kind of style.

Huo Wang couldn't say what it was, but he felt that he was different from ordinary Second Ancestor.

No matter how dragged a person's clothes are worn, no matter how misplaced the buttons are, it is difficult to hide the spirit in his bones.

It's like a sword wrapped in rags.

Whoever gets close to it can feel its edge.

Like a jade to be made, like a diamond to be polished.

"How dare the boy bargain with the king...... It's just that...... Just ......"

"Don't worry about it, just say it. ”

"It's just that the wine that the king rewarded me with today was actually originally stored in the house, and this wine boy has drunk 10,000 jars, at least 3,000 jars. You can even taste the wine in your mouth when you think about it. The kid really wants to wait for the treasures in the king's mansion...... If his day comes, the kid will open it immediately! There is not a drop left in the three hundred hundred, not a drop is spilled, and no one wants to rob me!"

Speaking of drinking, Tang Zhongsong can really be described as a liver and gallbladder hole, with shruggy hair, and a promise of gold.

Liu Ruiying saw Tang Zhongsong's back from a distance, and looked at the gesture and didn't know what he was saying impassionedly.

When I think of the pine in the soup, I think of the night of drinking. Liu Ruiying's heart flashed with warmth, and even the hostility towards this Dingzhou Mansion was eliminated a lot.

"I don't know what happened to the special investigation envoy to meet the unification of this state? Youjian, why did you come back to Dingzhou Mansion when you didn't fight against Wang Ting in Jiying Town?"

Tang Ming made a preemptive move, and Liu Ruiying couldn't say a word when he was choked.

He Youjian didn't answer, but bowed to Huo Wangna.

It wasn't until this time that Liu Ruiying knew Tang Ming's cunning intentions.

He's not trying to get into trouble on his own. Instead, he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and beat cattle across the mountains.

Liu Ruiyinggui is a special investigation envoy, and it stands to reason that he is of a different rank from Tang Ming. But when he saw Huo Wang, one of the five kings today, he still saluted respectfully.

Huo Wang's right palm was raised and he did not speak.

It seems to be just an outsider who happens to be passing by.

"The governor of Tangzhou Tong, He Youjian, secretly conspired with foreign enemies, and came to take people in the name of the edict of the investigation department. In consideration of the special situation on the border of Dingzhou in the near future, this envoy has come to inform Tangzhou before handing over the prisoners. ”

Liu Ruiying settled down and said with a plan. At the same time, he also handed over the secret letter of the edict.

"Brother, I didn't expect to meet so soon!"

Hearing Tang Zhongsong's title, Tang Ming and Huo Wang were a little stunned.

Why did this second ancestor, who only knew how to drink and gamble and spend money in the Song Pavilion, called him a brother and a brother in a blink of an eye with the special investigation envoy from the central capital?

"Brother Zhongsong and I met and knew each other when we were in Jiying Town, and His Royal Highness the King of Dingxi and Tangzhou don't need to be suspicious. ”

Liu Ruiying knew that Tang Zhongsong had a simple personality and no taboos in his actions. was afraid that his relationship with him would make him suffer from unwarranted involvement, so he hurriedly made a statement to clarify.

"Your Majesty, Father. This Liu Cha is a young hero! Tsk, his age is not much different from me, but he is much more productive than me! The last time I was separated, I was supposed to say goodbye to Zhongdu, but I didn't expect you to come directly to my house!"

Tang Zhongsong praised Liu Ruiying thoughtlessly, not considering what kind of situation was in front of him at all. It seems that there is just one more person I know, and it is more lively.

"How is Wei Qilin?"

Huo Wang asked.

"Your Excellency, everything is well. ”

After all, Huo Wang was still shaken.

After all, Tang Ming is the state commander of the Dingxi Domain, and if he is not here, he can still say that he is justified. But now that things are in front of the eyelids, if he doesn't say a word again, it will inevitably make the Wenchen generals of the royal domain feel cold when it spreads afterwards. Moreover, he seems to be a head weaker than Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong. In public and private, you have to meddle.

It's just that the public and private at this time are the same as the public and private that Tang Ming planned at the beginning.

In the inn.

The younger two suddenly woke up.

It was nothing more than the hypnotic voice that suddenly broke off.

He looked around in a daze, rubbing his face to refresh himself.

Shi Yifeng was still sitting on the recliner, but the wine jug in his hand fell to the ground.

The dishes on the table barely moved, except for a plate of fried lilies that were eaten to the top.

His eyes were slightly closed, his face was ruddy, and the corners of his mouth seemed to open slightly.

The hand that should have been holding the flask drooped next to the armrest of the chaise longue, and a small red snake dripped down its fingertips.

"Click, click......"
