song of the wind

If you can't drink fine wine, you can save me if you call me immortal.Come!We drink to the elders rejoining the ranks of drunkards! "The jade bottle poured again, and actually persuaded this dangerous enemy to drink.

The Great Elder glanced at Nangong Jue with his frightening eyes, as if he wanted to check his mind, but then he said calmly: "This old man is not quitting drinking, but drinking must be accompanied by a good companion, just like chess with an opponent, except for 25 years I used to cook tea with Zuo Lanxuan, a genius from Gusu, and discuss the Tao, but I can’t find anyone to drink with.”

Nangong Jue and Fang Tao's hearts moved at the same time, but they didn't understand why the first elder suddenly mentioned this person.

Nangong Jue tentatively said: "Mr. Lanxuan was famous all over the world in the past. It is said that he is a romantic and open-minded person. He is indeed a good companion for cooking wine and talking at night. It's a pity that he has gone..."

The Great Elder looked at the fine wine in the cup, and said amidst the intoxicating aroma, "Although Mr. Zuo is not from the Jianghu, he has a broad mind and knowledge of people. Mei Yun is like Aoxue, which makes people drunk before drinking... Mr. Zuo has been a scholar for generations, and he also pays attention to the way of eating like a gifted man..." The elder said as he drank the wine in his glass, and also picked up a cake to taste: " This nest of silk panxiang cakes was originally a common snack in Jinling area. The panxiang pancakes eaten by Zuo Caizi's home in the past were also considered extraordinary, but they were still not as small and delicate as this pancake. It is fragrant but there is no green onion, it is crispy and crispy, without any greasy feeling, and the color, fragrance and type are superb, such a wonderful wine, must it come from a talented person?"

Nangongjue blushed, and smiled embarrassingly: "This time the elder guessed wrong! Although there are hundreds of volumes of recipes in the library, what about cooking... Some people say that you should not touch the stove in the next life." That's good!" He said and stared at Fang Tao.

"It turned out to be Sui Yunke's handwriting... the gifted man's wine is handsome and elegant, outstanding, but Brother Fang's cakes are sharp and full of inner strength, and you can see the real skill in the ordinary, but even the old man has missed it!" the first elder said You can tell that when making this plate of fragrant cakes, the dough soaked in scallion oil must be kneaded with internal strength to create stronger gluten than ordinary dough, so that such fine shreds can be pulled out, but the gluten is too high. The silk will be too hard, so you need to use Yin force to loosen the tendons in the silk at the moment of spinning, and then bake it with high fire until it is set. Broil the cake until it is cooked and crispy, in which the inner strength is used alternately with the softer strength and the outer strength, the lightness and the heavyness are all just right, people with slightly weaker skills will never be able to do it, which shows that Fang Tao has reached the top regardless of his strength. Realm, the Great Elder saw him bewitched by the soul-shifting technique before, so he couldn't help but underestimated him, only now did he realize that Fang Tao's martial arts are by no means inferior to Nangong Jue.

"A Tao's nest of silk cakes is the best in the world. Feng'er loves this cake the most. He can't do without it for dessert almost every day. A Tao is coaxed by his sweet mouth, and he is busy in the kitchen every day. Let him taste this and that." Nangong did not hide at all that Zuo Linfeng had stayed in Sanjuezhuang.

The Great Elder also shook his head in no surprise: "Our emperor has always been arrogant and self-willed, and his gluttonous nature has not changed until now, but I will teach you two to laugh."

Nangongjue said straightforwardly: "There's nothing wrong with being greedy, self-willedness is an old problem. Besides, the way Feng'er eats is really pleasing, and no matter how picky he is, he won't be annoying... That's right, let's get back to business , I took the liberty to invite the elder to come here this time, it is a merciless request, I hope the elder will allow Brother Feng'er to withdraw from Xiaotian Palace as a rule!"

24. Pair wine (3)

During the holidays, double updates, and another chapter in the evening, please support me~~

"Is this the emperor's intention or the wit's intention?" The elder was not shocked and unhappy, and was so calm that it was impossible to guess.

Nan Gongjue went further: "It's what we meant. After Feng'er became blind, his skill declined, and he felt that it was difficult for him to bear the heavy responsibility of the palace master, and he no longer wanted to compete in the arena. It just happened that I followed Feng'er and hit it off. Son, he is also willing to change his surname to Nangong. From then on, he will throw away the burden on his shoulders and live a more comfortable life. I will also have this beautiful son as an heir. Feng'er was raised by the elders since he was a child, and he is also him! The teacher of Meng, it seems that he will be raised in five years In terms of love, Elder Wanwang made an exception and fulfilled it."

"It's God's will... It is his blessing for the emperor to be loved by a talented man..." The elder's tone loosened, but Nangongjue was a little surprised. The elder seemed to flash a secret smile, and said: "Gentlemen have pity for talents, old man I should be happy for the emperor, but their brothers are all people who were trained by the palace, their lives have already belonged to the Xiaotian Palace, and the laws of the palace are like mountains, how can I violate the palace rules and let them leave the palace?"

"The silver mine in southern Henan and the ten-year supply of weapons from Sanjuezhuang, what do you think of this condition?" Nangong Jue offered such a "sky-high price" to "buy" his brother, just to test the elder's bottom line.

The Great Elder seemed a little moved and said: "The qualifications of a talented person are indeed attractive, but if people know that Xiaotian Palace can "sell" even the emperor at a high price, what is the prestige of Xiaotian Palace? "

"Feng'er has been missing for several years. As long as you declare that Feng'er is dead and establish a new owner, he can continue to appear in front of people as my only son. Who will know the deal between us? Even if there are risks, it is definitely better than Let the imperial court and people in the world know that "Blood Phoenix Bi" is low in Xiaotian Palace? " Nangong Jue stretched his waist leisurely, showing another trump card.

"Sure enough, Jing Yang knew about the existence of the Xuefengbi..." The elder raised his snowy eyebrows, and a strange light flashed in his dark eyes. You must know that "Bloodfengbi" is a treasure of longevity known to everyone, and the court even more so. This thing is determined to be obtained, once the news spreads, Xiaotian Palace will face the crisis of destruction at any time.

Nangong Jue looked back intently, and said urgently, "As long as I'm alive, it's not difficult to keep this secret."

Nangong Jue's words with a smile blocked the idea of ​​the elder's killing and silencing. This talented man was really not easy to deal with. The first elder pondered for a while, and said: "In this way, if I don't agree to the talented man's request, I will treat others as well as myself. There is no benefit, no harm, it is foolish."

Nangong Jue smiled and cupped his hands: "I hope the elder can accomplish this beautiful thing." He knew in his heart that it was a war or peace, and it was all up to the elder to decide with one word. If Zuo Linfeng was just a puppet palace master, the elder would never take such a risk , forced to keep the Zuo brothers.

"Dijun has been clever since he was a child, and he is lovable in every possible way. Today, he finally returned the pearl, and the old man is also happy on his behalf..."

Both Nangong Jue and Fang Tao knew that the Great Elder had already surrendered, but using the idiom "Hepu Zhuhui" to describe Zuo Linfeng's return to Nangong's family was a bit nondescript. While the two breathed a sigh of relief, doubts arose again. The Great Elder reached into his arms, Fang Tao felt nervous.

Unexpectedly, the Great Elder just took out a sachet embroidered with winged phoenix, decorated with passionflower patterns around it, with some western styles in the exquisite pattern, and said: "This is the relic of the emperor's first mother, Mrs. Zuo. It has been in safekeeping for more than twenty years, since he will return to Nangong's family, please send this item to the emperor on behalf of the old man." The elder said as he opened the kit, a familiar light fragrance wafted out, one piece was two inches long and one inch wide. The Jialingxiang jade pendant engraved with the exquisite pattern of flying phoenix chasing meteors fell into the palm of the elder.

"Jue! Isn't this yours..." Fang Tao immediately recognized that the jade pendant was not only Nangong Jue's handwriting, but also exactly the same as the fragrant jade pendant he wore next to him when he was young.

Seeing the kit, Nangongjue's expression became a little unnatural. When the jade pendant appeared, Nangongjue's eyes, which were originally calm like a lake, suddenly turned into waves, unable to hide the turmoil in his heart, he said unconsciously: "Mrs. Zuo?"

The elder's white jade-like long nails gently stroked the jade pendant, and said lightly: "The rules in the palace, Yu Tiantong is not allowed to keep his original name and surname after entering the palace, but this old man deeply respects Mr. Lanxuan and his wife, making an exception to allow the emperor to keep his father's surname. A little thought from the old man for the old man..."

Knowing the danger, Nangong Jue couldn't help asking: "Feng'er's biological father is Zuo Lanxuan? Then his mother is..."

"Mrs. Zuo's surname is Duanmu, and her maiden name is Siling. She is not only quick-witted, but also ingenious in embroidery. She is as talented and beautiful as Mr. Lanxuan, and they can be called a couple. It is no wonder that the three emperors and brothers are all unique. , the talent is extraordinary, originally obtained from the excellent endowment of parents and ancestors..."

The word "Duanmu Siling" struck Nangong Jue's heart like a hammer, tears streaming down his face, and he screamed up to the sky, "What kind of Hepu pearl is returned!...Feng'er...Siling..."

Seeing Nangong Jue's abnormal expression, Fang Tao shouted urgently: "Jue! It's fake! Don't fall for it!"

Nan Gongjue raised his alarm when Fang Tao called out, and the elder said again: "It wasn't for this Kaling incense pendant, I would never have guessed that Mrs. Zuo is actually the daughter of a wit!"

Fang Tao was also shocked when he heard the words, the elder picked up the jade pendant and presented it to Nangong Jue, a soft and ethereal voice sounded at the same time: "If the old man remembers correctly, the real name of the talented man is Lingyu, and he changed his name to Jue Yu after he was expelled. , Mrs. Zuo's name is Si Ling, Mrs. Duanmu can be said to miss you when she is talented..."

Duanmu Hui'er...she broke into Nangongjue's life like a shining meteor, and disappeared in a flash like a shooting star, making him unable to track her down, but leaving an indelible scar in his heart...

The wound that I dare not touch for decades is torn again suddenly, the bloody pain, countless questions, but after the death of the wearer, there is no way to ask questions... Those green star eyes like embedded in the mysterious night sky, proudly once again Looking back at Nangong Jue with a smile, the laughter was clearer than a camel bell, covering up the wind outside the Great Wall, Nangong Jue couldn't help herself, and chased after her slender figure looming in the yellow sand.

"Hui'er..." In the yellow sand all over the sky, it seemed that only she and him existed... But when he held her hand, Duanmu Hui'er changed into a young woman in light clothes who looked exactly like her
