There was no old Wang selling hot noodle soup at the door, and Fang Xie felt a little uncomfortable when he went out. It's not easy to find a place to eat with good quality and low price and people are pleasing to the eye. He really didn't expect that the old king would be a member of the Ouchi guards. Judging from the old king's withdrawal, although it is not enough to prove that the emperor has reached the point of confiding in him, at least it proves that Luo Weiran no longer doubts him. Well, that's good, isn't it.
Fang Jie still got up early to practice boxing, and then tried to sense and control the vitality of heaven and earth. Although the entry was slow, it was not for nothing. The case of Prince Yi has nothing to do with him now, so he can relax for a while before going to Southwest Yongzhou.
It is the emperor's business to worry about the emperor, and Fang Jie is not a person who takes the emperor's heart as his own heart, so he doesn't have to be so tired. The biggest difference between him and those truly loyal people in the court is that he will do his best for the emperor, but he is also ready to slip away at any time.
The emperor is neither Zhuo Buyi nor Wu Yidao, and he is not a person who can be confidant. He sits high on the pinnacle of power and overlooks all beings, and that identity has already destined him to isolate everyone from himself. From the beginning to the end, Fang Jie did not have the consciousness to die for the emperor, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have it in the future.
In other words, he was an atypical loyal minister.
Although Fang Jie's cooking skills are good, he is not a person who likes to cook by himself, unless he has to. Although there are two women in the shop now, Shen Qingfan and Mu Xiaoyao are obviously not the pure type of good wife and mother. Let the two of them wear aprons and go to the kitchen to cook. Although Fang Jie wanted to, he knew it would be difficult to succeed. And Fang Xie was 100% sure that what the two of them made... might not be edible.
Just as he was about to go out to find a place to have breakfast, he saw Zhuo Buyi walking towards him with two people in the distance. After seeing the two people behind Zhuo Buyi clearly, Fang Jie couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Xiao Fangfang!"
Chen Hun and Chen Ha behind Zhuo Buyi saw Fang Jie, and immediately ran over with a smile: "You said you would take us to buy delicious and fun things, can you do it today?"
Fang Jie looked at Zhuo Buyi and cast an indignant look.
Zhuo Buyi shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is the person entrusted to you by His Majesty. Who told you that you told them those things. They only stayed in the guard's office for one night and they clamored to see you. Say you're a liar."
Fang Jie was taken aback. The thinking of these two guys was completely different from that of normal people. If the two of them decide that they are liars, they may tear themselves apart like paper.
"no problem!"
Fang Jie quickly patted his chest and said, "I keep my word. Since I have promised you, I will definitely not go back on my word. Tell me, what do you want to eat and play?"
Chen Heng glanced at Chen Ha and asked, "What do we want to eat and play?"
Chen Ha scratched his hair and thought hard: "Anyway, I don't want to eat fish anymore."
Fang Jiexin said that fortunately, these two people's minds are like children's, so it's not difficult to fool them. Moreover, these two guys have eaten raw fish on Diancang Mountain for ten years, and they reckon that as long as they don't eat fish, everything is a delicacy for them. Fang Jie hesitated for a while, then pointed to a restaurant not far away and said, "Shunfengzhai's Bazhen duck called Huaji is pretty good, how about taking you to try it?"
"Can ducks be eaten?"
"What is a chicken?"
Chen Heng and Chen Ha asked at the same time.
Fang Jie took the other and walked towards the restaurant: "Let's discuss such profound academic issues later, go eat delicious food first, and buy you two new clothes later, okay?"
"Yeah."
Chen Ha clapped his hands like a child and said, "I like wearing laundry the most."
Chen Heng asked seriously: "Is it going to be Chinese New Year? I remember my mother said before that she would only buy us new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Once Chen Ha went out to play and fell and scratched the new clothes Yes, Mother even beat him, very hard... Xiao Fangfang, will you hit us... "
When he said this, Chen Ha apparently also recalled it, and shuddered involuntarily, obviously he was really scared to death.
Hearing this, Fang Xie's heart felt sour for no reason.
"Why would I hit you? From today on, if you want new clothes, you can buy new clothes, and if they are worn out, just buy them."
Fang Xie walked forward holding the two people's hands like coaxing children, and he no longer had the fear he had when he saw these two people. Zhuo Buyi followed behind them and shook his head with a smile, even he was full of jealousy towards these two perverts. Knowing that the two of them act completely according to their own preferences without distinction between good and evil, and kill people without blinking an eye, who would dare to get too close? But at this moment, Fang Jie took the hands of the two of them, as naturally as leading two children across the road.
Seeing this scene, Zhuo Buyi suddenly found that his hostility towards Chen Hun and Chen Ha had also faded a lot.
Walking into the Shunfengzhai Restaurant, a waiter greeted him immediately. Because they were all doing business on Dongerershisantiao Street, the boss and the staff all recognized the young and promising Mr. Fang in front of him. It's just that they were all surprised when they saw Fang Jie dragging two white-haired and childlike Taoist priests in.
"Master Xiaofang, good morning."
The boss greeted with a smile.
Fang Jie nodded in return: "It's annoying to visit so early in the morning, but my two friends are here because of your Bazhen duck and beggar chicken, can you do it?"
"I can do it!"
The boss nodded again and again: "Master Xiaofang, please come to the private room later, I will go to the kitchen to watch in person."
Fang Jie hummed, and pulled Chen Hun and Chen Ha upstairs: "You two were carried out of the cave in Diancang Mountain by Xiao Yijiu, what delicious food did he buy you?"
Chen Heng said: "He doesn't allow us to go out casually, but every day he asks people to go out and buy food for us... buns... yes, it's buns, with meat on the outside and dough on the inside, it's delicious."
"You fart!"
Chen Ha retorted: "Obviously the inside is meat and the outside is dough!"
Fang Jiexin said Xiao Yijiu, you are really stingy, you even managed to win over two top experts with Dunton meat buns... But if it wasn't for Xiao Yijiu, I'm afraid you wouldn't know that such two people are still alive in the cave in Diancang Mountain. weirdo.
…
…
Chen Hun looked at the whole duck in front of him, touched it carefully with his hand, and quickly retracted it. His face was full of surprise, and even a little bit of fear.
"Is this the duck?"
he asks. Fang Jie nodded: "This is a duck."
"you're lying!"
Chen Ha said seriously: "We are not three-year-olds, do you think you can fool us? Ducks... ducks obviously have four legs, and they can bark."
"idiot!"
Chen Heng glared at him, "That's a cat!"
"Yeah?"
Chen Ha asked uncertainly, then looked at Fang Jie with doubts in his eyes. Fang Jie smiled, and cut the duck open with a knife, exposing stuffed chestnuts, jujubes, lotus seeds, etc., scooped out these things, then cut the duck into small pieces with a knife, and handed it to two people: "Have a taste? "
Chen Ha looked at Chen Heng hesitantly, and then suddenly realized something, pointed at Fang Jie and shouted: "Aha... Xiao Fang Fang, you are too bad, I know why you got the things out of it."
Chen Heng asked: "Why?"
Chen Ha said proudly: "Do you think the skin of the bun is better or the meat inside?"
Chen Heng thought for a while and replied: "Of course the meat is delicious."
"yes!"
Chen Hayi said indignantly: "Xiao Fangfang took out the contents but didn't give us to eat, let us eat the duck skin... He must want to keep the delicious things inside for himself, we won't be fooled!"
"Yes, yes, we are not fooled!"
Chen Heng also snorted proudly, grabbed something out of the duck's stomach and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and couldn't help but praise: "Little Ha, you are so smart, it really is the stuff inside tasty."
Chen Hadao: "I'm already very smart. My mother said I'm smarter than you. Hmph... Don't try to lie to us!"
He picked up a big ingredient and threw it into his mouth: "I'll try it too."
After chewing for a while, he spat out with a bah sound: "Little Humph, you're lying..."
Chen Heng said angrily: "You're the one who lied. My mother taught me not to lie. I haven't forgotten a bit. If you say I'm lying again, I'll beat you up!"
Immediately, the two began to quarrel endlessly, and Zhuo Buyi looked at Fang Jie with a headache. Fang Jie smiled helplessly, turned around and shouted to the outside: "Xiaoer, bring me two jugs of wine!"
Zhuo Buyi's eyes lit up, and he secretly gave Xie a thumbs up.
Twenty minutes later.
"Xiao Fangfang...why is the water you drank just now so sweet?"
"Hey, Xiaoha, you are so ignorant, that's obviously spicy..."
"tasty?"
"It doesn't taste good... It feels like a fire is burning in my stomach after drinking it."
"Really, then drink more to extinguish the fire in your stomach!"
"That's right! Xiao Fangfang, you are too smart, just as smart as me."
"Xiao Fangfang...why is it getting hotter and hotter?"
"It seems that you still drink less, and you can put out the fire if you drink more."
"good!"
"Huh?"
Drunken-eyed Chen Ha looked at the duck leg he had bitten into, and couldn't help being surprised: "The skin of this duck turns out to be more delicious than the meat inside, Xiao Fangfang, so you are a good person and not a bad person. Just now you tried to treat the duck leg better than the meat inside." Give yourself what you eat, and give us all the delicious food, right?"
"yes."
"You are a good person… "
…
…
The Ouchi guards are in a tight prison.
Sitting on the chair, Luo Weiran looked at Xiao Yijiu who was trapped by the giant chain and couldn't help but sighed a long time. One hundred and twenty-eight golden needles sealed the air pockets on Xiao Yijiu's body. This was originally his trick, but now someone used it on him. No matter how powerful a practitioner is, he will lose all kinds of heaven-defying skills after being sealed in his Qihai Dantian.
One end of the heavy chain was embedded in the solid wall, and the other end was a sharp hook that went through Xiao Yijiu's shoulder and hooked it. If he struggled, he would tear his body apart before breaking the chain.
"Brother... I..."
Luo Weiran opened his mouth, but in the end it was just a wry smile.
Xiao Yijiu opened his eyes, glanced at him and smiled and said, "Why do you blame yourself? Since I made that choice back then, I can't blame others for what happened to me now. You, the secret prison of the Ouchi guards Here, I'm afraid it's the first time I've spent such a lot of trouble trying to trap a prisoner."
"Brother, why bother?"
Luo Weiran asked.
Xiao Yijiu smiled and said, "Third brother... do you remember when I was studying art, I told you what my highest pursuit is?"
"Remember."
Luo Weiran said: "You said, your highest pursuit is to ascend to the sky."
Xiao Yijiu nodded: "Yes... everyone lives under the sky, no matter whether they are poor or rich, noble or humble. The sky is ruthless, overlooking all living beings, and will not care about life and death in the world. The sky has love, and rewards the world with sunshine and rain. Why do people practice, because they want to become stronger. After becoming stronger, they naturally want to see what is going on that day."
"What does this have to do with your treason?"
"If you don't stand at the highest place in the world, how can you touch the sky? I have always felt that the person closest to the sky... is King Dalun."
"sky… "
Luo Weiran suddenly remembered a sentence that Fang Jie said a long time ago when chatting: "An inch of the ground is the sky."
"An inch of the ground is the sky?"
Xiao Yijiu repeated it in a murmur, then shook his head vigorously: "This is impossible, the sky is high!"
Luo Weiran said: "I didn't say this, it was explained by Fang. He said... If you stand on a plain, an inch above the ground is the sky. If you stand on a mountain, an inch above the ground is the sky. Just because you are on a high place does not mean you It's so close to the sky, it's just...you stand tall."
"Fang Jie?"
Xiao Yijiu's face suddenly changed: "How could he have such understanding... No matter where you are, an inch of ground is the sky... You want to tell me, don't fight in the world? If you don't fight, how can you be aggressive? If you don't be aggressive, how can you be strong? Practitioners are the same as people in the world, the sky is on their feet? No way, no way, still no way!"
He suddenly yelled, and the iron chain on his body was rattled and shook: "Nothing! Nothing!" The whole stone room seemed to be shaken by him, and the dust fell down. Even if the golden needle seals the acupoint... he still has such power!
In the stone chamber.
Xiao Yijiu was hysterical, like crazy.
