Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Jiang Xinxin saw that Gong Ziyu took the initiative to expose the secret passage out of the valley in front of the brides. Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi felt a little embarrassed. They only had plain noodles for dinner, which made Jiang Xinxin embarrassed for a while.

However, Jiang Xinxin's face was always an item that was intermittently online. Early the next morning, she directed Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi to deal with the meat that she had stolen from the space last night when the two were absent-minded.

"In the morning, let's just have a simple pot, and at noon we can have barbecue!"

While instructing Xue Chongzi to cut the pork belly into slightly thicker slices, Jiang Xinxin put the sliced ​​pork belly into the whole cabbage leaves, while talking about her own arrangements.

The meat had been frozen in the snow for a whole night, and it would be impossible to cut it with brute force. Fortunately, everyone had martial arts skills, and the palace gate supplied the back mountain with high-quality weapons. So Master Xue and Xue Chongzi were able to cut the meat quite well.

Jiang Xinxin requisitioned the clay pot that Xue Chongzi usually used to cook porridge. She arranged the pork belly and cabbage leaves alternately, cut them into two-inch long slices, and placed them one by one in the pot. The color was yellow, white, and green with pink in between. It was pleasing to the eyes alone and even Xue Gongzi was drooling.

Such a small amount of meat and vegetables was obviously not enough for three people, so Jiang Xinxin put a layer of beef cubes that Xue Gongzi had just cut on top of the cabbage and pork belly, and then put a layer of frozen tofu on top. Finally, she added two handfuls of soaked vermicelli to finish it off.

When Xue Zhongzi brought the pot over to cook, she couldn't even put the lid on.

Jiang Xinxin has been eating very light meals for half a month. She originally wanted to go straight to beef hotpot, but unfortunately Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi had never eaten spicy food before, and she was worried that their stomachs couldn't take it, so this morning's pot was just to prepare their stomachs. She arranged barbecue for lunch, and spicy hotpot for dinner.

As the ingredients in the pot gradually began to cook, the fragrant aroma became increasingly stronger. Xue Chongzi was still relatively good, he just stood by the pot and swallowed his saliva silently. However, a lot of frozen saliva beads had already accumulated at Xue Gongzi's feet.

"alright--"

At Jiang Xinxin's command, two pairs of chopsticks were immediately stretched into the pot.

"It's a little hot, so be careful. I added a pickled pepper when seasoning it to see if you can handle spicy food."

Xue Chongzi was a person who listened to advice. She picked up the vermicelli and raised her arms high to let the cold air help cool her down. She only needed to lift the chopsticks up like this and she didn't have to worry about burning her mouth.

Mr. Xue is a simple-minded person. He wants to get into the pot and doesn't even hear Jiang Xinxin's reminder. He put a chopstick of vermicelli into his mouth and it was so hot that he was reluctant to open his mouth, as if the delicious taste would disappear with the heat as soon as he opened his mouth. It was really unbearable to watch.

Jiang Xinxin guessed that this world must have been derived from some novel or film and television drama, otherwise why could she buy peppers in this world, both Erjingtiao and Chaotianjiao.

A very novel and refreshing breakfast whetted the appetites of Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi. The chili not only made them sweat, but also helped them release the depression in their hearts.

After the meal, Master Xue and Master Xue Chongzi automatically collected the pots and pans and sent them over to the servants guarding the outside to clean up, and then came back to everyone to make tea and chat around the stove.

Master Xue was the first to talk about the news he had heard: "Yesterday, when Master Yu came back from outside, he met someone who escaped from a stronghold at the palace gate. The other party said that Wu Feng had planted spies among the brides. Master Yu came back and told Zhi Ren about this. Zhi Ren then teamed up with the young master and Master Zheng to stage a drama, preparing to expose the spies on their own initiative."

Then there was the scene they encountered when they sneaked out. Gong Ziyu did complete the plan, but he should never have exposed the secret passage out of the mountain and let so many people see it.

Xue Zhongzi took over the conversation with a serious expression: "But none of us knows whether Wu Feng only sent one assassin in, and why Wu Feng knew about the palace's bride selection? So I think Wu Feng's spies and assassins may have sneaked into the palace a long time ago."

Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but look at Xue Chongzi with admiration. She didn't expect that such a young man could be more thoughtful than Master Xue.

Jiang Xinxin comforted Xue Zhongzi and said, "If you can think of something, I'm sure there are many people in Qianshan who can think of it. Just relax."

However, Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi looked at each other, and both felt that perhaps Young Master Gong Huanyu and Jiao Gong Shangjiao could think of it carefully, and Zheng Gong and Gong Yuanzheng might be able to think of it if they were willing to use their brains. Only, they didn't dare to have high hopes for the playboy Gong Ziyu.

Soon, from the words of Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi, Jiang Xinxin had a better understanding of this palace gate.

The ancestors of Gongmen were originally a small but powerful force in the Jianghu, running an escort agency and weapons business in the south. One day, they were inspired by something and suddenly came to the Old Dust Valley. They obtained many secret manuals from the valley and began to take on the responsibility of protecting the so-called "Infinite Flowing Fire".

As for what the Boundless Flowing Fire was, Jiang Xinxin could tell with her keen eyesight that Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi had never seen it with their own eyes. They both confessed that they only knew from Elder Xue's occasional words that once that thing was used, it would not only destroy the world, but even its activation would require human lives. It would hurt others before hurting oneself, and it was really not a good thing.

Jiang Xinxin originally knew from the system that the thing was a top-grade spirit stone, but after listening to what Master Xue and Xue Chongzi said, she simply didn't dare to judge whether the top-grade spirit stone she was going to take away was the same thing as this infinite flowing fire.

Xue Chongzi said worriedly, "Moreover, I can feel that the climate in the back mountain is getting colder and colder. In the past, some cold-resistant flowers, plants and trees could grow there, except on the top of the mountain, where the snow would melt. But in the past ten years or so, not only have many of the cold-resistant trees there been frozen to death, but even the snow lotus, which used to grow better in colder weather, can no longer adapt..."

Master Xue also continued, "The most troublesome thing is that the miasma in the back mountain is getting heavier and heavier. The prescriptions that the palace used to remove the poison are beginning to become ineffective. Master Zheng has changed the prescriptions several times."

Although Jiang Xinxin felt that the Boundless Flowing Fire they were talking about was most likely the top-grade spirit stone she wanted to take away, even if they despised it, there was no reason to rob it.

Jiang Xinxin thought that it would be best if she could exchange it for some conditions.

But it's not a good deal to take advantage of others. She always has to wait for the other party to speak first before things can be done easily.

But she couldn't turn a blind eye to the plight of Xue Zhongzi and Xue Gongzi, so after thinking for a while, she hesitated and said, "I don't have any other solutions, but I know how this miasma is usually produced, and what method can be used to easily dissipate it."
