Chapter 39: Appetizers


Finally had an ancient Taoist heart in the eyes of the world, it didn't take long for Xu Fengnian to whip two big mouths for himself, it was really too bad for a big man to bring a child, and he brought a drag oil bottle by his side, she didn't speak when she was hungry, just blinked a pair of eyes, poor Baba looked at Xu Fengnian, riding a horse and sitting on the little buttocks hurt, she didn't cry or make trouble, she still turned her head to look at Xu Fengnian, her eyes were moist, if she led the horse together, according to the rules, she had to carry a heavy money bag that had no place to spend a tael of silver, The little hand is red and swollen, and he falls to the ground, but he just mentions it silently, he can't lift it, he carries it on his immature shoulders, and when he falls, he is not aggrieved and cries out in pain, he just stands up and continues to carry it and walk.

If it weren't for Xu Fengnian having to feed the flying sword every other hour, maybe this girl would have been frozen half to death in just one night, and a few days later, Xu Fengnian really couldn't survive this stubborn little girl, so she had to let her nest in her arms when she slept at night, and she had never been so aggrieved when dealing with the big devil Xie Ling.

Therefore, when His Royal Highness finally saw the Flying Fox City in the inner belly of Longjiao Prefecture, the Hanging Sword Pavilion that stood above the city, he was relieved.

You must know that when His Royal Highness the Prince was young, he liked the guy who threw his younger brother's feet on a snowy day, or he played the trick of inverted onions with his eldest sister, Huang Man'er obviously prefers it, every time he was pulled out of the snow by his brother, he always had a simple smile on his face, and the three sisters and brothers were never tired of it, only the second sister Xu Weixiong stood alone in the distance, watching coldly, she was precocious and precocious, and she probably disdained to play this kind of childish game, but occasionally there would be a snowball fight, provided that she played Xu Zhihu and Xu Longxiang with Xu Fengnian, Xu Zhihu was relatively weak, Huang Man'er was instructed by his brother not to use force, so every time he returned in defeat, at this time Xu Weixiong was satisfied, so he raised his pointed chin, clapped his hands and said with a cold face but the corners of his mouth curled and said that he was going to read the book of soldiers.

After she left, Xu Fengnian and Xu Zhihu would look at each other and smile, all without saying anything, and Huang Man'er, who was happier than beating people, didn't know anything, and followed the eldest sister and brother to smirk together.

Since bypassing the city of Liucheng, especially after piggybacking on Tao Manwu, Xu Fengnian has often been in a daze, perhaps squatting on the edge of the widened official road, looking at a newly built post station from afar, or standing on a high place looking at the wilderness of a flat river, or even discovering an unnamed lake that introduces irrigation tools from the south of the Yangtze River.

Tao Manwu is only a six or seven-year-old innocent child after all, and it is not easy to cry to death because of the death of her father, but she can easily see through people's hearts, see all the real joys, sorrows, and sorrows hidden under the darkness, she knows who has bad intentions, and who has a cold face and a warm heart.

Get along with this bad guy with a new face day and night, and when he arrives outside Flying Fox City, he sees him exuding joy for the first time, and she can't help but warm up with her.

Approaching the city gate, Xu Fengnian turned over and dismounted, hugged Tao Manwu from the horse, led the inferior horse with one hand, led the child with the other hand, and walked towards the city gate, the child's small hands were red and swollen like steamed buns, after the blisters were carefully punctured by him, there was a new callus, and then it would be calluses, Xu Fengnian was no longer embarrassed by this child with a rough background, hung his bags on horseback, and saw that there was a horse team roaring out of the city, Xu Fengnian pulled the horse sideways, stood aside, and the young man headed by a shawl was distributed, wearing an expensive mink fur, with a cold face, and the six horsemen behind him were wearing light armor and wearing knives, carrying a well-made bow and crossbow, a bag of quivers hanging on the horse's back, and the arrows are crouched, Xu Fengnian saw that the arrow feathers were slightly worn but did not affect the accuracy, neither extravagant nor fancy ornaments, and he also looked down at this Beimang general's disciple, and the city gate guards, who were originally making things difficult for ordinary people, immediately groveled, bent down and sent away with a smile, and there was no trace of mockery and jealousy in the smile, only awe.

The vicious-eyed city gate guards checked the road guide to testify about leaving their hometown, and when they saw Xu Fengnian's inferior horse that was not worth mentioning, they lost the interest of plucking the goose, and let them go generously, passing through the dimly lit cool city gate hole, Xu Fengnian subconsciously looked up and smiled, I don't know the life and death of the girl, how could she be like a gecko sticking to the roof of the cave, giving herself a cold surprise like a blow, Xu Fengnian was actually annoyed back then, but also had a kind of sick expectation and gratitude, at that time, there was Li Chungang, the immortal Buddha beside him, Generally speaking, there is no chance for His Royal Highness the Prince to make a move, but the girl has always regarded the top ten masters in the world and the land immortals as nothing, and she will stalk at whoever she wants to kill, which is tantamount to a spur to Xu Fengnian, but he still hasn't figured out why she still bears the disaster of luck for herself in the end since she is a killer in the reeds, and she has no water Walking through the city cave, Xu Feng was full of self-deprecation, is it because she is too ruthless and unrighteous, so she doesn't understand that the exquisite thoughts of those brilliant women are like the sweet potatoes in Wutong Garden, and she only realized her identity as a dead soldier after practicing knives, originally thought that she was just a plump koi in the Chao Lake, and if she didn't feed, she would lose weight and lose weight, and if she didn't feed, she would starve to death, but the fact was that she secretly didn't know how many disasters she had blocked for herself, and she didn't know how much red blood she had on her hands.

The moment before she was on her lap, she had killed a few fire-fighting moths that had infiltrated the palace, and she had twisted the wick to death.

Picked a Flying Fox City in the northeast corner of the downtown inn, mostly the Spring and Autumn Remnants inhabited, the north and south division of the Beimang Dynasty, Jing Wei is distinct, the Northern Emperor's tent and the southern court officials, just the most conspicuous example on the table, in the vast territory of this dynasty, there are many scholars once ascended the temple career miracle, after the inevitable turmoil at first, there have been countless bloody tragedies of Beimang nobles killing foreign tribes, and even dozens of hundreds of people are killed, but with the Beimang Empress's laws and regulations issued to every corner of the empire, During this period, more than a dozen children of the Yelu and Murong clans died, and many high-powered royal court ministers were punished, ruling the north with an iron fist as always, and soothing the Southern Dynasty with the rare tenderness of an old cow licking a calf, which created the current stable situation, and the second generation of children of the remnants of the Spring and Autumn Period began to take it for granted that they regarded themselves as the people of the North Mang, and were grateful to His Majesty the wise and martial emperor.

Empress Murong had spent two years kissing every inch of land under her skirt, and everywhere she went, especially those majestic cities and giant towns, there were countless people kneeling under the black pressure.

Emperor Liyang ruled the Spring and Autumn Period, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he had been to the old Eight Kingdoms and had been to Beiliang Xu Fengnian put her luggage in the room, the important things were on her body, and she didn't care if it would be stolen, but the little girl stayed next to the bag full of broken silver, refusing to go to dinner, probably because she was carrying it all the way and carrying it on her back, tossing out her feelings, if she disappeared, she would probably die of sadness.

Xu Fengnian couldn't help but laugh and said: "Fool, if it is stolen, wouldn't you just go easily, go to eat, your little belly has been rumbling for a long time, and it's not a ballad, I don't like to listen to it." ” The little girl Tao Manwu had a serious expression on her face that I would not be responsible if it was stolen, Xu Fengnian smiled and quipped: "Put a hundred hearts, it was really stolen, no matter your business."

But I'll exchange the silver ticket for the same weight of broken silver, and continue to let you carry it. ” Xiao Nizi, who has always been clear about doing things, confirmed that this bad guy who was not too bad was not a joke, and she wanted to cry.

If Xu Fengnian is like this, he will be soft-hearted, and he will look down on the coldness and ruthlessness of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and said two words, "eat" Tao Manwu followed him and timidly threatened: "I won't sing songs to you anymore." ” Xu Fengnian didn't reply, and said: "Okay, I was going to show mercy to give you a bowl of rice, but half a bowl will be deducted this time, and you are not allowed to eat vegetables." ” Tao Manwu immediately said: "Then I won't sing it to you tomorrow." ” Xu Fengnian had a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were gentle, but he didn't make a sound.

Little Nizi suddenly jumped into a quiet joy, because even if she couldn't see his face, she knew that he was laughing.

After sitting down, Xu Fengnian asked for a meat and three vegetarian two bowls of rice, the little girl Tao Manwu's tutor is excellent, she eats without saying a word, she is very ladylike, but unfortunately she is not a beauty embryo, and when she grows up, it is estimated that she will die in the posture of a middle-aged person, probably because she is more like her father Tao Qianzhi, and she did not inherit her mother's face embryo.

The only meat dish on the table is a snakehead, the method is simple, wash off the mud and disembowel, put two and three or four garlic into the fish belly with a small half of pepper, cook it with soybeans, and then put a few finger-sized radishes before cooking, sprinkle the green onion and serve it on the table, there is a soup in the vegetarian dish, the medicinal soup boiled with five kinds of branches, Xu Fengnian only identified four kinds of mulberry acacia willow peach branches, this table of meat stomach food is only forty Wen, it can be called good quality and cheap, you must know that Qianwen is only one or two silver, this table is the general market family occasionally wants to add some oil and water to the next restaurant, I can definitely afford to eat it.

This made Xu Fengnian, who had seen all the prices of the dishes on a row of bamboo sticks on the counter, fall into deep thought, the four words of the people's heart, the Confucian celebrities of all dynasties and generations are trying to persuade the emperor to listen, but there are a few people who are willing to surrender their identities on this meal and a dish, it is estimated that the emperors are not willing to listen, and the pillars of the important ministers are like vegetable sellers and old farmers to discuss this, from the Jinluan Palace Imperial Study Isn't it going to be laughed at by the world's scholars Xu Fengnian glanced at Tao Manwu who bowed his head to eat, she wanted to clip a chopsticks fragrant snakehead fish meat, After seeing the sight of the bad guy in front of him, he silently retracted the chopsticks, Xu Fengnian sandwiched a piece of white and tender fish meat for her, and said flatly: "Use the chopsticks yourself in the future." ” Don't forget to remind, "Be careful of fish bones, I don't want to spend money on vinegar if I get stabbed." ” Nizi looked up and smiled.

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Peaches, a little backbone, is it good, I was bought with a chopsticks and fish."

In public, he made an appointment with her to call her her newly nicknamed, Peach.

At first, the little girl fought in silence, and then Xu Fengnian was hard-hearted and did not ride a horse and walked, so that she carried the money bag for a long time, and she nodded and agreed with Xu Fengnian after shouting a peach again, Xu Fengnian then hugged her on the horse and walked forward, the little girl with a hot and painful shoulder bit her lip and sobbed for a long time.

Xu Fengnian ate quickly, left the calculated leftovers for Tao Manwu, and then patiently waited for her to fill her stomach little by little, leaning on the window railing, looking at the downtown area, counting the grain store cloth pawnshop, and waiting until the little girl had no clean food left, and said okay, Xu Fengnian came back to his senses, did not get up in a hurry, and asked for a pot of tea with the guy, which made the innkeeper sitting behind the counter smile, a pot of tea is not too profitable, but looking at the posture of this son, it is clear that he will drop a lot of silver in the inn.

This is called a long stream of water, doing a small business, getting rich overnight and not expecting to come to luxury, relying on these small windfalls, the guy is familiar with the boss's abacus, comprehends, and has a warm smile when serving tea and water.

When Xu Fengnian drank tea, he said softly: "Knock on the golden beam." ” Tao Manwu obediently shut up and knocked on his teeth thirty-six.

"Beat the drum."

The little girl gently raised her hand and tapped her temples for eighteen.

"Bath face."

The little girl who is sitting in the middle of the knee has her eyes slightly closed, and after rubbing the palms of her palms to heat up, her five fingers are together, the little fingers of her hands are glued to the side of her nose, and her palms and fingers are pushed up, passing through the seal hall between the eyebrows, moving up to the frontal hairline, and then rubbing to the sides to the temples, slowly rubbing down the cheeks, until the cheeks.

And so on and so forth, for a total of six times.

Xu Fengnian drank all a cup of tea, and Tao Manwu also finished three things in a decent manner, and he looked good.

Xu Fengnian is very skilled in dual-purpose, otherwise he would never dare to play double knives in front of the white fox's face, and wait until the little girl finishes this set of Taoist introductory self-cultivation techniques, and continues to think about her thoughts while looking at the downtown scene.

In the Beiliang Palace, no matter how much bloody news comes from the dead and alive hidden in Beimang, you can only see the cold numbers and words, how many Beimang control string iron horses, how the distribution of the city, how the state of war horses increases, and these most subtle side details in front of him, the peerless national warrior Li Yishan said that it is best to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to go on a journey in person, this chief strategist of Beiliang who has painted himself as a prison for twenty years has no children under his knees, although he does not say it, but he does regard His Royal Highness the Prince as no different from his own flesh and blood, But he still agreed with His Royal Highness the Prince to exile Beimang on his own, as elegant as Li Yishan, and he also gritted his teeth and said that the gentleman who went to the fuck would not set up a dangerous wall, and the gentleman who needed a fart in the future Beiliang King Beiliang could see how serious his vigilance against Beimang was.

Xu Fengnian still clearly remembers that when he handed over the hand-drawn geographical map, Li Yishan, who never admitted that he was his master, was silent, and he was terminally ill for a few years, and he said to go and bring two pots of wine, and today he will drink on the scenery of the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains on this line.

This is a man who once used to cook half of the country with Zhao Changling.
