Suxin Sect is located at the border between Daliang and Southern Chu. It is one of the largest Jianghu sects in the south. It is as famous as the Sword League in the north. It is known as the Northern Sword League and the South Suxin. It's not like the sword alliance's domineering side leaks, but when it comes to the background of the world, the Suxin sect has left the sword alliance too much.
The history of Suxin Sect can be traced back to the Tianqi Dynasty 800 years ago.
During the Tianqi Dynasty, the four kingdoms had not yet been divided, and the territory was relatively large. It could reach Beiming in the north, Southern Chu in the south, Xiqin in the west, East China Sea in the east, and the four seas were united. This sounds like a very powerful dynasty, but But in fact, it's not.
The Apocalypse Dynasty was the weakest dynasty in imperial power. At that time, the power of the government was not as great as that of the Jianghu faction. All states and counties survived under the protection of the local Jianghu forces. Often, the stronger the Jianghu forces, the fewer disputes and the more common people. If food and clothing are abundant, on the contrary, disputes will continue and the people will live in dire straits.
In the heyday of Jianghu, the four concubines in the harem all came from various sects, and the Suxin sect accounted for three quarters.
For quite a period of time, the blood of the Suxinzong flowed in the heirs of the dynasty.
In the heyday of Suxinzong, there were 30,000 internal disciples and 100,000 external disciples, which could almost sweep any imperial army.
But when the water is full, it overflows, when the moon is full, it loses, the imperial power is rising day by day, and the rivers and lakes are declining day by day. Su Xinzong, as the lord who dominates the martial arts, has not been able to change the bad luck of being expelled to the border by the court.
Today's Suxinzong has already withdrawn from political disputes and settled in a corner, but the geographical location of the hills where Suxinzong is located is special, neither in Daliang territory nor deep into Southern Chu, which caused great headaches for the two countries.
Both Daliang and Nanchu tried to persuade Suxinzong to belong to their own name, but Suxinzong could not choose this matter independently.
It's not that Daliang has never considered destroying Suxinzong, but Suxinzong is the natural barrier of Southern Chu. After destroying it, entering Southern Chu will be like entering a land without people; the same is true for Southern Chu, it wants to move Suxinzong In the slightest, it is impossible for Daliang to stand idly by.
In such a strange situation, the Suxin Sect miraculously survived and became a sect that did not belong to any country, but did not stand on its own.
Of course, Suxinzong has been safe and sound for so many years. In addition to the mutual restraint of the two parties, it is also smart enough. For example, Ji Mingxiu and Li Yu were all disciples of Suxinzong.
In the gazebo of the Grand Master's Mansion, Xu Yongqing, the suzerain of the Suxin Sect, checked Ji Mingxiu's pulse, and said calmly: "There is no big problem for now, but it's okay now, it doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. This is a good thing, suppressing it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, we have to find a way to get rid of it... Has Ji Wushuang still not found a solution?"
Ji Mingxiu paused: "No."
Xu Yongqing stood up, walked to the railing, looked at the weeping willows beside the lotus pond, and said: "I came here just for this purpose. I found out that there is a small island in the back lake of the Taishi Mansion, on which two plants are planted. Birth flowers only bear fruit once in twenty years. I didn’t know the news last time, but it died in vain. This time I brought my disciples here, one is to celebrate the grand master’s birthday, and the other is to let your brothers and sisters Sisters and sisters help you find the fruit of the two life flowers."
Ji Mingxiu's eyes paused: "This fruit is effective for my internal injuries?"
Xu Yongqing said: "It is rumored that it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Your internal strength was originally caused by internal injuries in the mother's body. It can be regarded as a kind of injury. It should be able to heal."
Ji Mingxiu was thoughtful: "Master, what does it mean...it can cure any disease?"
Xu Yongqing shook his head: "I can't guarantee this, after all, I haven't tried it, but that's what my grandfather said."
"Does the Grand Master know about this?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
Xu Yongqing said: "My father-in-law doesn't know, but I heard the news about Liangshenghua from the old man Baimei last month. Baimei drank too much wine and slipped it out. He regretted it very much afterwards, and told me not to take it If this secret is leaked out, otherwise the world will know, and the Grand Master's Mansion will not escape a looting."
"How much do the disciples of Suxinzong know?" Ji Mingxiu asked again.
Xu Yong smiled lightly: "Not much, I just told them that I suffered an internal injury and needed a medicinal herb, but they didn't know it was a pair of fruit, they just thought it was an ordinary fruit."
Ji Mingxiu fixed his eyes and said, "Young junior sister doesn't know either?"
"Her mouth, tell her now, within an hour, the entire Grand Master's Mansion will know." He said what was wrong with his daughter, but his eyes were full of doting.
"What are you talking about?" Li Yue walked over carrying a food box.
A doting smile quickly appeared on Xu Yongqing's face: "Where did you go again? Why didn't you see anyone all morning?"
Li Yue put the food box on the stone table, and said with a smile: "I'm going to learn how to cook."
"For me?" Xu Yongqing asked.
Li Yue giggled, "You can eat it too."
Xu Yongqing suddenly realized: "So, it's not specially made for me. The daughter I raised can cook, but the first dish is not honoring me. It's so sad!"
Liyue squeezed his shoulder: "It's my first time cooking, I'm not familiar with it, what if it tastes bad, right? When my cooking skills improve by leaps and bounds, I'll be filial to my father!"
Xu Yongqing said: "So you want your brother to try the dishes?"
"No, no!" Li Yue ran out of words.
Xu Yongqing stopped teasing his daughter, went back to the stone table and sat down: "What is it?"
"Shrimp slippery." Liyue brought out a bowl of delicious shrimp slippery mushroom soup, and took out two small bowls, scooped half of each.
Xu Yongqing said strangely: "Don't you know that your brother doesn't eat shrimp?"
Li Yue was stunned: "Senior brother doesn't eat shrimp? But... but senior brother's friend clearly said that senior brother loves shrimp the most."
"Senior brother's friend?" Xu Yongqing frowned, what kind of friend would give Mingxiu food that he couldn't eat at all
Ji Mingxiu picked up the bowl and took a sip: "It tastes good."
…
In the kitchen, Qiao Wei and her team were officially busy. Stir-frying, chopping vegetables, and plate-plating were extremely busy. The servants of the Grand Master's Mansion were waiting at the door, waiting for summons at any time.
The aroma of the dishes wafted out from the kitchen, and several people smelled it, their stomachs were hungry and their mouths were drooling.
Trays of fresh dishes were cooked out of the pan, and the servants quickly put them into special big food boxes, and carried them to the banquet place one by one.
Rongji's cooks are all masters who have worked hard at the food stalls, and their cooking speed is by no means comparable to that of Taishi's chefs. Everyone watched the dishes as if they were running water, and they carried them out of the kitchen.
Master He and Master Hai are mainly in charge of cooking, while Qiao Wei is in charge of steaming vegetables and fish sticks.
There is no salmon to eat in Taishi Mansion, mainly carp, and some fresh seafood and shellfish. Qiao Wei has a good knife, and the slices are as thin as a cicada's wing. She also made an exclusive sauce, and they were all snatched up as soon as they were served.
Not long after, a little girl dressed as a Suxin Sect disciple came in: "Excuse me... who is Miss Qiao?"
Everyone squinted at her, is there a second girl in this room
The little girl chattered, and went up to say hello to Qiao Wei who was cutting the fish: "Miss Qiao, our lady said thank you for making the shrimp slippery. The fourth brother likes it very much."
Qiao Wei's knife for slicing fish fillets stopped: "Have you eaten the fourth brother?"
"Yes." The little girl said.
Qiao Wei's eyelashes trembled: "Does he know it's shrimp slippery?"
The little girl said truthfully: "I know, our lady told him."
I know I still eat it, isn't it allergic to shrimp? Is it because the allergies are all fake, or is it that he accepts everything that the junior sister does
asshole!
Qiao Wei stopped slicing the fish and chopped the fish head instead.
The little girl won't leave.
Qiao Wei glanced at her coldly, the eyes were so cold that the little girl was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat.
The little girl covered her heart and took a few steps back, bumping into Xiao Liu behind her.
Xiao Liu shouted impatiently: "What are you doing? Didn't you see me put it on the plate? Will you pay for the damage?"
The little girl is worthy of being the servant of the junior sister, she reacted exactly like the junior sister, and said timidly: "I'm sorry, I bumped into you, didn't it hurt you?"
"..." Everyone was so submissive, it was a bit hard for Xiao Liu to get angry again.
Xiao Liu snorted, ignored her, and only moved the plate away.
"Still leaving?" Qiao Wei said lightly.
The little girl hesitated for a moment and said, "Our lady would like to invite you to the boat."
Half a quarter of an hour later, Qiao Wei stepped onto a luxurious and exquisite small painting boat. It was not very appropriate to say that it was a painting boat. It looked more like a huge awning boat, but whose awning was made of black gold Woolen cloth
With such overwhelming wealth, Qiao Wei gambled that the Grand Master was not an upright official.
"Miss Qiao, please." The little girl led Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei followed the little girl to the shed. There were bead curtains on both sides of the shed, shining brightly under the sunlight. There were more than a dozen Suxinzong disciples faintly visible in the curtains, both male and female. There is a difference between the aristocratic family, and people will not feel ashamed at all if they live in the same room.
I don't know if Mingxiu can often get along with female disciples when he is "practicing" in Suxin Sect
Just like when she was in college, she always deliberately sat next to the handsome guy to listen to the lectures, drooling while listening.
Thinking of this, Qiao Wei felt a little blocked again.
Such a top quality, placed in their university, is definitely a male god-level figure. Her skill of occupying a seat an hour in advance is completely useless, and she must be a hardcore nympho in order to be able to catch up.
"Hehehe..." came the silver bell-like laughter of the junior junior sister.
From Qiao Wei's point of view, the little junior sister is sitting on the other side of Mingxiu, Mingxiu's body completely blocks her, turning her face sideways, she doesn't know what she did, she seems to be-
The jar of jealousy in Qiao Wei's heart was overturned with a clatter.
In fact, Ji Mingxiu didn't do anything, he didn't even say a word, but he turned his head and glanced at the opposite curtain, and in the eyes of some people with their own distortion function, it became an indescribable kiss .
Qiao Wei was brought into the tent by the little girl.
This canopy looks big, but it is even bigger when it comes in.
There were more than a dozen disciples sitting there, not feeling crowded at all, and there was a long table in the middle, with chessboard tea sets and so on.
Qiao Wei's eyes glanced hastily, they are all young disciples, there are no elders, Mingxiu is not next to the junior sister, but a handsome junior, and the junior sister is next to the junior.
So, did you just meditate to kiss this little junior brother? !
Qiao Wei took a closer look, only to realize that this little junior was none other than Li Yu, the young man in red who had blinded her once.
Li Yu is also a disciple of Suxinzong
Not wearing red clothes anymore, I almost didn't recognize it.
This is too tender, so tender that water can be squeezed out.
When Qiao Wei looked at Li Yu, Li Yu also saw Qiao Wei, and stared at him with bright eyes: "It's you?" Looking at Ji Mingxiu beside him, "Fourth brother! Look quickly! It's her!"
"Senior Brother Ninth, do you recognize Ms. Qiao?" the little junior sister asked.
Li Yu said: "She is the second in charge of Rongji, I've seen her before!" She also fell in love with me at first, and seduced me with delicious sex, but I resisted tenaciously, and then she and I four Brother flirted, my fourth brother probably couldn't hold back.
"Fourth brother?" Li Yu winked.
Ji Mingxiu didn't even lift his eyelids.
Li Yu: My fourth brother probably held back too.
The younger sister smiled and introduced the senior brothers and sisters to Qiao Wei: "My senior brother, second senior brother, and third senior brother didn't come. The biggest one is the fourth senior brother. This is the fifth senior brother. This is the sixth senior brother, the seventh senior brother, and the eighth senior brother. , Brother Ninth, you know. This is my Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Sister, and Fifth Senior Sister. I also have many Senior Sisters and Junior Brothers, all of whom are in the Suxin Sect."
Qiao Wei followed her junior sister's gaze and greeted everyone one by one.
These are the direct disciples of the Suxin Sect. They are the sons and daughters of the aristocratic family. Their status is very noble, and their eyes almost grow on the top of their heads. However, because they are introduced by the younger sister, everyone still greeted them with dignity.
Qiaomei raised her eyebrows, but she didn't give her a face. It was a surprise.
The little junior sister said again: "Miss Qiao is a friend of the fourth senior brother, everyone should take care of her."
It's okay not to say this, but when she said it, Qiao Wei obviously felt that everyone's eyes were more critical.
"She is the fourth senior brother's friend? How can the fourth senior brother have such a friend?" A certain senior brother muttered, looking at Ji Mingxiu, "Fourth senior brother, is she really your friend?"
Ji Mingxiu said casually, "I'll have to ask Ms. Qiao about that."
After hearing this, Qiao Wei was furious, and said angrily, "How can a cook like me be higher than your senior brother? It's my junior sister who misunderstood me. I'm just doing business in a restaurant. How many times have I had with your senior brother?" It's just a meeting, not a friendship."
That's it, everyone is relieved.
The fourth senior brother is the most powerful disciple of the Suxin sect. Although he does not practice martial arts, no one can beat him, and his wisdom is unparalleled. In their hearts, the senior brother is the same as the master, and they respect the most people.
Qiao Wei thought to herself, she is really a good brother (sister) of Daliang, she is so picky about his friends, if he marries a wife, wouldn't she be even more picky
The junior sister smiled and said: "Miss Qiao's fish cakes are very good, I invited Miss Qiao to come over and show us in person."
It sounds nice to say that Lu Yishou, don't you just want her to be a ready-made cook for everyone
What was going on in this little girl's head? Is it really simple or stupid
Simply making her a friend, being proud of her skills, or being stupid enough to want to humiliate her in front of so many people
If it's the former, this girl's EQ is hopeless; if it's the latter, this girl's IQ is hopeless.
Forget it, what are you fussing about with this little girl? She is not a master at all, she is just a little widow in the country, she has set up a street stall, beat hooligans, and being a cook is already a very optimistic job.
Qiao Wei opened her toolbox neatly and pulled out a sharp knife. There were already servants waiting at the side. Seeing that Qiao Wei was ready, she immediately presented fresh carp, cutting boards, and tableware.
Ji Mingxiu stood up suddenly.
The little junior sister said: "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Mingxiu said calmly, "Go out and get some air."
"I'll accompany you!"
"Need not."
Ji Mingxiu walked past Qiao Wei's side, and when passing by, Ji Mingxiu's steps paused, Qiao Wei thought he was going to say something, but he didn't say anything, and went out without looking back .
Qiao Wei lowered her eyes and picked up a fat carp.
Qiao Wei didn't intend to show off her knife skills, nor did she intend to deliberately hide her clumsiness. She played normally and cut off the carp piece by piece, each piece was so thin that it was almost transparent.
"You are so good at knife skills!" Li Yu sighed.
A younger brother said: "Ms. Qiao's knife skills are really rare. My family has opened a new restaurant. Is Miss Qiao interested in working in my house? The monthly payment is negotiable."
Qiao Wei glanced at him, her eyes were cold, and his scalp was numb: "I, I just said it casually, Miss Qiao, don't take it to heart."
The second senior sister said softly: "My junior brother kindly invited you, why are you still attacking him? You don't know how to praise a cook!"
Rarely, Qiao Wei didn't speak, just cut her head sullenly and cut the fish fillet in her hand. These are a group of stupid young people who don't know their heights, and she doesn't bother to care about them.
Seeing Qiao Wei's silence, the second senior sister thought that Qiao Wei had acquiesced in a guilty conscience, and her arrogance became more and more arrogant: "I'm talking to you! Are you deaf or dumb? Don't know what to say?"
Qiao Wei just ignored her.
Quarreling is not the most annoying thing, the most annoying thing is that people don't bother to argue with you at all.
The second senior sister was full of anger, she took the younger junior sister's hand and said: "Why is there such a person? Junior junior sister, what kind of cook did your family hire? It's bigger than the queen!"
Hey, have you seen the Queen
Qiao Wei sneered in her heart, her hands kept moving, and soon, she cut another plate.
Li Yu took the plate of sashimi and smoothed things over: "Second senior sister, don't be angry, eat fish."
The second senior sister knocked over the plate: "I don't eat this kind of food that is cut by a scumbag!"
The atmosphere in the black tent froze for a moment, and even the younger junior sister's expression froze.
Everyone showed a hint of embarrassment and surprise.
Qiao Wei sneered and said: "I am a lowly person who was invited by the Grand Master's House. Are you calling me a lowly person, or that the Taishi's House has no vision? The Taishi's House uses a lowly person to entertain you high-class people. You have been wronged, remember to cry in front of the grand master when you look back, and tell the grand master not to invite such a low-level cook next time, so as not to stain your eyes."
"How did you talk?" Second Senior Sister slapped the table and stood up!
Qiao Wei looked at her lightly: "Say it with your mouth, why, this senior sister can't understand?"
The second senior sister said coldly: "Seeing that you are the cook introduced by my junior sister, I wanted to give you a few thin noodles, but you are too ignorant of flattery! Junior sister, this matter has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with the Grand Master's Mansion. I would like to invite you Forgive me."
"Sister, what are you going to do—"
Before the little junior sister finished speaking, the second senior sister threw out the whip from her sleeve, and hit Qiao Wei on the shoulder with a whip, the clothes burst instantly, and blood splashed out.
Everyone in the Suxin sect is a master. Any disciple from the inner family can hang and beat a red guard from Prince Yin's mansion. It couldn't be easier to hurt a woman who has never practiced martial arts.
Qiao Wei was whipped, her shoulders were in pain, and there was no sound around her, it was terribly quiet.
Li Yu stood up immediately: "Second Senior Sister, what are you doing?"
The second senior sister sneered: "It's all for teaching a lowly person a lesson, but the ninth junior brother should not care so much!"
Li Yu said angrily: "She didn't do anything to you, why did you hit someone?"
Li Yu is a relatively independent existence in the Suxin sect. He grows behind Ji Mingxiu like a small tail all day long. He doesn't have deep relationships with other disciples, and naturally he doesn't have much relationship. It will give the other party some respect, but respecting the other party does not mean that you can tolerate the other party's violence in the Grand Master's Mansion.
"Junior Brother, haven't you seen how she humiliated me?"
"What did she say to humiliate you? Don't be arrogant and think that everyone in the world should respect you! Let me tell you, this is Daliang, not Nanchu! If you want to play tricks, go back to your Nanchu!"
Li Yu is from the imperial family, a man from Southern Chu, to actually beat the people of Daliang in front of him, it's really unbearable!
He would not admit that he was only a little fond of this little woman who fell in love with him at first sight.
If someone else was beaten, he probably wouldn't say a word.
Li Yu took off his shirt and put it on Qiao Wei: "Are you okay?"
Qiao Wei said, "I'm fine, thank you."
People who can practice in Suxin Sect are not ordinary people, just look at Ji Mingxiu and Li Yu. How can the second senior sister be an ordinary Southern Chu people? Second Senior Sister is not afraid of Li Yu, she raised her chin and said, "Junior Brother, I advise you not to interfere, you can't beat me."
"You don't need him to intervene." Qiao Wei walked towards Second Senior Sister coldly, grabbed her hand, pressed it on the table, and stabbed her down with a knife!
