Vicissitudes know Jinhua

These four dishes could not be more familiar, and they are the masterpieces of the Sanxi Tower in Chenjing: Fengming Spring Dawn, Lotus Boiling Water Palace, Crane Jue Shuangtian and Tiger Stepping Snow Plum.

These four-flavored dishes are unique and ingenious according to the colors of the four seasons.

For example, Fengming Chunxiao uses chickens born in the same year as the main ingredient, lined with swiftlet cups, regenerated amaranth juice, and tea jelly made from Biluochun, which brings out the red and green spring color; while Heju Shuangtian uses water chestnut lotus root to knead into it. The flour is baked into frosty white and golden yellow, and then covered with the best sky white flower mushroom and sirloin meat.

Although it is not dragon liver and phoenix marrow, it is superior in cooking techniques. With Qi Yupei's picky diet back then, every time he went to Sanxi Tower, he must order these four products.

Although these four dishes are good, they are unique in this family. There is no other place to find them outside of Sanxi Tower, and they are never for ordinary officials and people to enjoy.

So when Mu Zishi first saw the old dish, he was not happy but surprised, not to mention that Nanke Mountain is thousands of miles away from Chenjing, just because of this nest of bandits, he went to Zhuque Street and entered Sanxi Building , but also be thrown out like a pig by the guys who don't rub the sand in their eyes, but I don't know why these four dishes have fallen here?

Seeing him in a daze, Ge Shu Yepo asked, "Do you like these dishes?"

Mu Zishi lowered his eyelashes and said, "It's rare to see it, so I like it naturally."

Ge Shu Yepo sneered, stretched out his hand, and gently pushed a dish: "Is this Heju Shuangtian?"

Mu Zishi praised nonchalantly: "Crane yelling at Shuangtian? Sure enough, the body and spirit are complete, a good name!"

Ge Shu Yepo suppressed his temper, and said: "These dishes were specially sent to me by a nobleman... Do you know the name of this nobleman? Why did you take so much trouble to send me these dishes?"

Mu Zishi shook his head and smiled wryly: "Zi Shi is a mere scumbag, an ant-like person, how can he make friends with any noble people?"

Ge Shu Yepo's face darkened: "Mu Zishi, if you pretend to be stupid again, I'll kill Mu Shaochong right now and send you to Fengjing Palace."

As soon as Muzi's stone skin exploded, his whole body became cold: "You...what do you know?"

Seeing his pale face, Ge Shu Yepo couldn't help feeling pleased, and said, "I know everything I need to know. For example... your dagger, and for example, why you fled from Chenjing to Yuzhuang."

Mu Zishi stared at Ge Shu Yepo with dark green eyes, and said for a while, "Since you know everything, how dare you keep me and Shao Chong?"

"Why not?" Ge Shu Yepo sneered repeatedly: "What I do is beheading business! And... I know your details, don't you realize that there is something else in Nankeshan?"

Mu Zishi looked through the account books for a while, and felt that the number of people and the amount of silver grain did not match. There were 1000 people in Shuozi's Fenglin Camp, 800 people in the Shuixiang Tent, and the rest of the motley men in Ge Shu Yepo's hands. Hundreds, a total of no more than [-] heads, but money, clothing, food, and even weapons, armor, horses and fodder are allocated according to [-] troops. That is to say, Ge Shu Yepo has another elite force of at least [-] people hiding in the mountains. However, every year for the past three years, a large amount of money has come from a strange source, neither robbery nor extortion. Mr. Zhu Da will write a small word "Jing" on the back of this money, and what is the word "Jing"? Mr. Zhu Da is also at a loss as to the origin of the money.

At this moment, Ge Shu Yepo took the initiative to mention it, and Mu Zishi boldly guessed: "Is there any collusion between the big master and the court?"

Ge Shu Ye broke out: "That's right."

Mu Zishi breathed a sigh of relief when his suspicions that he had always had were confirmed. Based on the clues of these days, he cautiously guessed again: "Is it the Jinshang or the Tao that the master wants to turn against?"

Ge Shu Yepo gritted his teeth: "Isn't that good-for-nothing Qi Hefeng a puppet Tao Ruopu helped up? After destroying the Tao family, Qi Hefeng is naturally a bereaved dog."

Seeing the blood in his eyes, Mu Zishi couldn't help but probed: "The head of the family seems to have a deep hatred with the Tao family? Tao Ruopu is a deep-rooted man in the city. He has been in a high position for decades. Reasonable and lawful, nothing leaks... What's more, there is no one whose surname is Geshu in this court."

A fierce light flashed in Ge Shu Yepo's eyes: "Shut up!"

Mu Zishi was obedient, and immediately kept silent. Brother Shu Yepo stared at him fiercely: "You have a fourth brother?"

Mu Zishi sighed, and when he was about to speak, Ge Shu Yepo yelled, "Don't lie!"

Mu Zishi was startled, and hurriedly replied, "Yes."

"Then how long are you doing?"

Mu Zishi's heart moved, and his voice was calm: "Xing Qi."

Ge Shu Yepo was silent, Mu Zishi's back was drenched with cold sweat, the draft blew, and it was cold, and after a long time, Ge Shu Yepo whispered: "I knew...Hmph, your fourth brother I've seen it before, and you are quite similar."

As soon as he said this, Mu Zishi knew that he had just won the bet. Although Ge Shu Yepo had found out about his origins, but for some reason, he mistook him for the seventh prince.

Originally thought that Nanke Mountain was just a den of thieves, but he was also involved in the court turmoil. Mu Zishi pondered for a moment, and decided to take the risk of guessing again: "Why did Prince Fengjing hook up with Nanke Mountain? ? If he wants to raise an army, he will use the Yongliang iron cavalry, and he will have his own strong and arrogant soldiers to respond to him. What can a mere Nanke Mountain do for him?"

Ge Shu Ye raised his thick eyebrows, "How do you know it's King Fengjing?"

Mu Zishi secretly exclaimed luck, but smiled slightly with lingering fears, and said: "Yongliang's military strength is so heavy, how can the court not guard against it? Qi Hefeng is not an orthodox successor, and his uncle has never helped the country and saved Chiwutai... ...Father is in fire and water."

Pointing to the four dishes on the table, his fingertips trembled slightly: "The four seasons of Sanxi Building, let alone in the northwest border, even in Zhuque Street in Chenjing, how many people can taste it? Send it all the way to Nanke Mountain, except for Jinshang and Tao Ruopu, probably only King Fengjing can do it."

"It's just that Zishi doesn't know, where did I show my flaws, so that the master can see through the origin?"

Ge Shu Yepo took out the short knife from his sleeve, and put it gently on the table: "This knife... Hehe, no worries and no injuries? When you tell lies, you are really good at singing, reciting, doing and fighting."

Ding flicked the back of the knife, and said: "It's a pity that you don't know knives. This knife is made of refined steel mixed with iron. It is extremely sharp and strong. In the Daning Army, except for the Yongliang Iron Cavalry, there are very few weapons that are sharpened. Adding iron to the middle, and looking at the curvature of the blade and the thickness of the back blade, it is the method of a good craftsman from Yongliang."

"A weapon is to me what calligraphy and ink are to you. Can you not tell the difference between pine smoke ink and lacquer smoke ink?"

Mu Zishi smiled wryly: "It turns out that the head of the family has long been suspicious."

Ge Shu Yepo seemed to be fond of short knives, and while playing with them, he said delicately: "A few days ago, I met the officials of the Fengjing Palace, and after a long time of insinuating, I confirmed that this is exactly the knife that Prince Qi gave to the Prince when he came to Beijing. .”

Mu Zishi suddenly realized that everyone in Fengjing Palace thought that Qi Wushang had dedicated the knife to Qi Yupei, and Ge Shu Yepo naturally believed that even if the short knife changed hands, it must be a member of the royal family, so he entered the palace as a pawn. When the prince accompanied him, Ge Shu Yepo had already left his home and left the capital. He was only a student in the East Palace, and no one mentioned it after many years, so he would never think of his identity as a companion.

Having figured this out, Mu Zishi felt a little relieved, and asked, "Can the master give me back the knife? When King Fengjing raises his troops, Zishi can also serve you a little bit."

Seeing that he was obsessed with this knife, Ge Shu Yepo felt displeased immediately, and said coldly: "Who said that King Fengjing wanted to raise troops? The rebellion is my business in Nanke Mountain, and has nothing to do with the Yongliang Army. If you really arrive Before Qi Wu hurts his horse, the first thing he will do is to tie you to Beijing."

Mu Zishi turned pale with fright, not because Qi Wushang wanted to tie him up, but because Fengjing Wang clearly had a plan, but he just stood still, which was really puzzling. Just end up like a dead dog? What good did he promise you?"

Ge Shu Yepo looked at his expression, and said indifferently: "Qi Xiang is old and cunning, why should I not know? But each takes what he needs."

Mu Zishi wanted to ask more questions, but Ge Shu Yepo had already kept his mouth shut. He packed four dishes in a food box, held the crossbeam and stretched his arms forward, and said, "Go and eat with Mu Shaochong... "

Mu Zishi took it with one hand, but Ge Shu Yepo suddenly grabbed his wrist: "You are born of the queen, why do you have a different color in your eyes and clearly have a foreign blood? Who is Mu Shaochong?"

Mu Zishi looked straight into his eyes, and the corners of his lips raised with a bit of pride and anger, said coldly: "Shao Chong is naturally the blood of the Tian family, but it has not been recorded in the jade certificate. Why should I tell you the secrets in the palace?"

Ge Shuye was stunned for a moment, his gray eyes were full of emotions, but after a long while the light in his eyes gradually turned soft, like a piece of silver-gray silk under the moon, he smiled and touched Mu Zishi's temples lightly, and said, "You won't say Then let it go."

Mu Zishi strode out the door with a food box in his hand, and stopped after walking for more than a mile. His heart was beating wildly, and he felt the sun was shining fiercely, and his hands were shaking so much that he almost threw a box of four seasons in the sky. Broken, hurriedly called a villager not far away, and told him to send the food box to his residence first, after a little thought, he went to find Qi Shaochong.

Over the past few months, with Ge Shu Yepo's acquiescence, Mu Zishi and Qi Shaochong met more and more, and he also went to Fenglinying to see him.

The first time he followed Zuo Shifei into the room with eight heroes, Mu Zishi only felt that he had entered the beast taming department in the imperial garden, and Qi Shaochong felt sorry for him, but he was even more respectful.

A few socks stood in the corner of the wall, and there was a cluster of suspected mushrooms growing beside it. I don’t know whose pants were hanging on the water bottle. A fat and strong cockroach was patrolling among them. A muscular teenager naked Sitting under the window with his upper body tight, he bowed his bow, and there were a few big men around the table talking foul words, arguing over where the girl was more coquettish.

In the noisy atmosphere, Qi Shaochong was able to calmly talk to a middle-aged man softly, with a small sand table on his knees, making gestures and deduction from time to time.

Xia Houyue has a lot of experience in marching and setting up formations. He seems to be a general who has been in the army for many years. He is definitely not a bandit who loots houses. Qi Shaochong often talks with him, and he feels that he has benefited a lot. At this moment, they are having a good conversation. There was a strange silence, thinking that Xiao Fang and the others were going to make trouble again, he frowned and looked up, but saw Mu Zishi standing at the door, wearing a clean light-colored gown, with picturesque eyes and a slight smile.

Qi Shaochong was stunned, then he was surprised and delighted: "Brother!"

Pushing away the sand table, he jumped off the bed and went straight to Mu Zishi.

Mu Zishi blinked, his eyelashes were a little wet, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't expect..."

Qi Shaochong actually understood what he said, and said with a smile, "I'm fine!"

Xiao Fang approached, without concealing the curiosity and exclamation in his eyes: "Shao Chong, is this your brother?"

Qi Shaochong was very proud: "Of course!"

Song Chang quickly trampled to death the cockroach next to his trousers, blocked the socks and mushrooms in the corner, and said with a smile: "Brother Mu, sit down for a while? Have a cup of tea? You are Shao Chong's brother... that is us brother..."

When it came to the back, it was like overturning the pot of paste in my head, it was completely nonsense, comparable to sleep talking.

Mu Zishi saw that he was in his 30s and [-]s, with his sideburns and beard so luxuriant, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't dare."

Xia Houyue, who had always been taciturn, said abruptly: "This is not the place you should come to, get out!"

Qi Shaochong was startled, Xia Houyue treated him like a brother like a teacher, how could it be so unreasonable?Mu Zishi, however, had a delicate mind. Seeing the hidden worry in his eyes, and then looking at Song Chang and the others' passionate eyes that were about to bleed, he already understood his kindness and was grateful in his heart. With an angry face, he pulled Qi Shao and rushed away.

Afterwards, Mu Zishi once said to Qi Shaochong: "Xia Houyue is honest and honest, and we can have a deep friendship."

If Qi Shaochong realized something, when he saw Mu Zishi again, he would go to the place where Liangtai lived to look for him.

Shi Muzi disappeared after being shocked. Song Changxiaofang and others somehow found Xiahouyue and Qi Shaochong's troubles for a few days, but they didn't know that Qi Shaochong was also full of anger and waited for them to run into each other. Yue teamed up and closed the door silently to beat up Song Fang and the two leaders. Song Chang's arrogance became shorter, Xiao Fang's face became rounder, Qi Shaochong relieved his anger, and Mu Zishi talked and laughed as usual as if he didn't know anything. , but he deeply hated Song and Fang.

He grew up at a young age, and lived up to the foreknowledge of the old prince's "look like jade", but with such a good appearance, it is a blessing to be in a noble place, but it is obviously a disaster to be in a den of bandits.

Nanke Mountain is full of hot-blooded men. Although there are some female thieves in Lin Shen's hands, there are too many monks, and Song Fang and others can be regarded as lawless, not to mention vicious. Unstoppable time.
