Le Yuan rushed to Zhangjiakou. Zhangjiakou is a north-south passage, a fur distribution area outside the Great Wall, densely populated and prosperous with shops. After Le Yuan arrived here, he first went to the nearest restaurants to ask if he had seen a group of people riding white camels or a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy with a blood-red horse, but the news he received was that he had not seen any. .
Le Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily settled in Zhangjiakou. Although he knew that Huang Rong, the heroine, was probably here at this time, in order to avoid being regarded by Huang Rong as a prodigal who was trying to be attentive to nothing, Le Yuan just waited. With the arrival of Guo Jing.
Finally, three days later, Le Yuan saw Guo Jing at the city gate. After not seeing him for a year and a half, Guo Jing became much stronger. After Le Yuan stopped Guo Jing, Guo Jing was stunned for a moment, then recognized him, and then recognized him. After leaving Le Yuan, the two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time greeted each other warmly.
At this moment, Guo Jing's stomach growled, and Le Yuan, who noticed Guo Jing's embarrassing picture, suggested, "Brother Guo, seeing that you are so tired along the way, how about I treat you well?" Guo Jing nodded quickly after hearing this. , and he was indeed very hungry.
Le Yuan took Guo Jing to the nearest large restaurant. As he walked to the door of the restaurant, he saw two shopkeepers yelling at a ragged and skinny young man.
The young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He wore a black and worn-out leather cap crookedly on his head. His face and hands were all covered with black coal. He could no longer see his true appearance. However, Le Yuan, who had been paying attention, accidentally jumped from the dodging young man. Seeing the white and tender skin above the exposed wrist, Huang Rong didn't want to be covered in black. I saw Huang Rong holding a steamed bun in her hand, dodging left and right, extremely flexible, laughing, sometimes revealing two rows of shiny white teeth, which was a flaw that was extremely inconsistent with his overall appearance. The eyes are dark and very lively.
I saw a store clerk who couldn't catch him and shouted hurriedly, "What are you doing? Why don't you leave?" Huang Rong said, "Okay, just leave, you said so." Just after turning around, another store clerk appeared He reacted and said, "You can go, put down the steamed buns."
Huang Rong was not reluctant after hearing this, and put down the steamed bun as she was told. However, the originally white steamed bun had already been left with several dirty fingerprints by Huang Rong's black hands. When the shopkeeper saw that he could not buy any more, he was furious. , raised his hand and wanted to punch him, but before his fist could fall, he was caught by Le Yuan, who had been watching.
"It's just a steamed bun, why bother beating someone? I'll pay him for this steamed bun." After saying that, he took out a few copper coins and gave them to the shopkeeper. He turned to Huang Rong and said, "These steamed buns are not delicious. I am just treating you. How about you come too?" Then he turned to Guo Jing and said, "Brother Guo, do you mind if I add someone else?" Guo Jing has a pure nature, so how can he nod in agreement with this? . Le Yuan also threw the steamed bun in his hand to a naughty puppy at the door. The puppy pounced on it and started chewing it.
"Haha, I've never seen someone like you looking for a beggar to eat? But I'm happy today, so I'll reward you with this face." After saying that, he followed Le Yuan into the restaurant.
After finding a seat, Guo Jing sat on the side and Huang Rong sat opposite Le Yuan. Le Yuan said, "Then I'll order first. If there's anything that doesn't suit your taste, we'll discuss it later." Guo Jing didn't know much about what to eat. As long as he had beef and mutton liver, Huang Rong was different and said, " I'm very particular about what I eat. If it doesn't satisfy me, I'd rather not eat it." After saying that, he stared at Le Yuan, as if waiting for Le Yuan to laugh.
"Well, man, before we serve the main course, let's have the four kinds of dried fruits: tiger skin peanuts, strange-flavored flatbreads, milky white grapes, snow mountain plums, and of course the four sweet preserves: candied apples, candied longans, candied fresh peaches, and candied fruits. Qingmei. Are you still satisfied?" After speaking, he asked the two of them.
Guo Jing just stared blankly, not knowing that these methods existed. Huang Rong hummed, "How can it only be sweet? I also want something salty and sour. For salty and sour things, I want fragrant cherries and ginger plums. I wonder if they can be bought here?" After speaking, Huang Rong looked at the waiter who had been taking notes. When the waiter heard that Huang Rong was good at it, he couldn't help but put aside his disdain.
Le Yuan added, "Brother Guo likes to eat meat, so let's eat eight-treasure wild duck, dry Lianfu sea cucumber, fried guinea fowl, raw grilled pork, fried pigeon with coriander, and this little brother here. Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang, chicken shredded cucumber with Hong characters, osmanthus hibiscus cake, sesame rolls, gold cake, jujube paste cake. As for me, I will add green tofu and white grilled fish lips. Are you satisfied?"
Guo Jing looked at the large table of dishes he had ordered and said with some embarrassment, "I, I can just eat whatever I want." Huang Rong, however, was not polite. "Pair it with twelve other dishes to go with the meal, and the best wine."
"Just do as he said. Don't worry about running out of money to pay the bill. This gold leaf is enough." With that, Le Yuan put a gold leaf he took from the ancient tomb on the table.
After a while, the candied fruits were served on the table. Guo Jing tasted each one and couldn't put it down. While Guo Jing was eating, Le Yuan and Huang Rong started talking, "Why aren't you dissatisfied with the food in this restaurant? You seem to be a foodie too?"
"You sound like you have a lot of knowledge about eating." Huang Rong said deliberately looking for trouble.
"That's right, I have traveled all over the country in the past two years. Besides, after I became the imperial cook, I was always trained as a successor before becoming a master to learn martial arts."
"Then why did you study martial arts instead? Didn't you always train as an imperial cook?"
Huang Rong's curiosity was obviously aroused, and Le Yuan was naturally willing to talk. The two talked about Le Yuan's cooking training, Le Yuan's Quanzhen interesting stories, the Jade Peak of Zhongnan Mountain, the scenery of the desert, old stories of Shaolin, the scenery of the spiritual vulture, and Tubo Favor, Dali’s Camellia. Huang Rong clapped her hands and exclaimed when she heard Le Yuan talk about the thrills of the trip.
Guo Jing, on the other hand, talked less and listened more, spending his energy on eating and occasionally smiling. He took care of most of the meal alone. But Huang Rong supported some light dishes and some pastries.
"Haha, we were just talking, but the food was gone." Huang Rong said, looking at the half-empty plate. "Yeah, why not add more," said Le Yuan, then served all the dishes Huang Rong had touched again, but Huang Rong only took a few bites before she felt full.
The waiter in the store paid the bill, and the total was sixteen, two, five, and four cents. Le Yuan handed the gold leaf to the waiter and went out to exchange it for silver to pay the bill. After leaving the restaurant, Huang Rong felt a cold wind blowing and couldn't help but shiver. Le Yuan put a cold coat in the bag on Huang Rong and said, "This coat is not valuable, so let it do its part for you, brother. The remaining money is not a sign of respect, and wealth should not be revealed in vain. I hope you will take good care of it." Take advantage and go home early, the world is not a place where a girl like you can stay for a long time." As he said this, Le Yuan stuffed some money into Huang Rong's hand.
Huang Rong didn't care at first. When she heard the word "go home", her eyes suddenly turned red. But when she heard the word "girl", she stared at Le Yuan with bright eyes, "When did you know?"
Le Yuan pointed at Huang Rong's neck and wrists with one finger and said, "There is no Adam's apple, and the neck and wrists are both white. Also, your body movements when avoiding the store clerk are not like a man." After hearing Le Yuan say When the snow was white, Huang Rong's dark beams seemed to have a trace of blush, but it seemed like an illusion.
"Then you have no good intentions in inviting me?" Huang Rong said, realizing that Le Yuan had been laughing at her.
"That's not true, but shouldn't we get to know each other formally? I am Quanzhen disciple Le Yuan." Le Yuan said solemnly.
Guo Jing just came to his senses, clasped his fists and said, "Are you a girl? My surname is Guo Mingjing, haven't you asked for advice?"
Huang Rong said, "My surname is Huang, and my last name is Rong."
"I don't know where Miss Huang learned from her. Although I haven't seen the whole picture, the girl's body skills are not simple."
"You have to ask, but this girl's kung fu is inherited from her family. I won't tell you the rest." Huang Rong replied playfully.
"Peach Blossom Island?" Le Yuan spat out three words. But when Le Yuan said these three words, Huang Rong blurted out, "How do you know?"
"I didn't expect it to be true. In other words, are you really the daughter of Lord Dongxiehuang Island?"
"Are you bluffing me?" Huang Rong, who understood, said angrily, "But what is Dongxie you are talking about, my father? It's an unpleasant title."
"Haha, this is not the place to talk. Why don't you stay for a while?" Le Yuan laughed and suggested.
This time Huang Rong led Le Yuan and the two of them to Changqing Tower, the largest restaurant in Zhangjiakou. They ordered four plates of exquisite snacks and a pot of Longjing, and couldn't wait to ask Le Yuan.
"Dongxie is the honorific title given to the Lord of Huangdao. The other four masters of Huangdao are collectively called the Five Jue. They are the top masters in the world. They are Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, Beibei and Zhongshentong." Le Yuan finished speaking and took a sip of tea.
"How can my father be evil? These titles are ugly? You should continue talking." Huang Rong looked curious and said coquettishly. Guo Jing on the side was also very interested in this Jianghu matter.
"Dongxie, as the name suggests, is righteous with seven parts of evil and evil with three parts of righteousness. He has knowledge of astronomy and geography. He is knowledgeable and proficient in all miscellaneous subjects. His personality is deviant and arrogant. His evil reputation was partly brought about by his disciples."
"Apprentice?" Guo and Huang asked in unison.
"The bronze corpse and the iron corpse are the two evil spirits of black wind - Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng."
Guo and Huang were surprised again at the same time, but Guo Jing had a bit of horror on his face, while Huang Rong was purely surprised.
Looking at the expressions of the two people, Le Yuan explained, "Back then, the Black Wind Shuangsha stole the lower copy of the Nine Yin Scriptures from Island Master Huang, and the other disciples were implicated and had their legs broken and were kicked out of the master. In order to avoid the Yellow Island Lord, the Black Wind Shuangsha fled to the desert. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, he trained the Taoist Divine Art Nine Yin Shen into the evil Art Nine Yin White Bone Claws. However, the bronze corpse was taken out by me, Brother Guo, twelve years ago. , and the Iron Corpse is also blind, so the harm is greatly reduced."
Both of them seemed to be shocked by the news. Huang Rong responded first, "What is the Nine Yin Manual? Why did my father drive my senior brothers out of the school and break their legs for it?"
"The Nine Yin Manual is the martial arts secret book that won the first place in the world in the first Huashan Swordsmanship among the Five Arts. After my ancestor Chongyang passed away, Island Lord Huang's wife used a strategy to kill my ancestor's junior brother Zhou Botong in the Nine Yin Manual. The sutra was memorized, but after the Nine Yin Sutra was stolen, Mrs. Huang wanted to rewrite it silently, but unfortunately she died young. It seems that Miss Huang was born at that time."
Huang Rong felt sad for a while when she heard the news, and then became angry and black-winded.
Seeing that Huang Rong had been aroused by him, Le Yuan took advantage of the victory and said, "I heard that Mei Chaofeng appeared in Zhongdu, why don't Miss Huang come with us? Something big has happened in Zhongdu recently, so we all go together to meet each other." There is someone taking care of you.”
After thinking carefully, Huang Rong said, "I can come with you, but you have to help me catch Mei Ruohua and send it to my father. I will help you find your great uncle. How about that?"
"Isn't my uncle imprisoned on Peach Blossom Island? You just need to take me to Peach Blossom Island."
"Okay, a word is enough to make a difference, so let's give it a high-five."
After speaking, the two high-fived and made an oath.
