As night fell, Yi Xiaodao sat on the stone bench and watched Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er busy preparing dinner. He couldn't help but laugh. Maybe this is the feeling of home, Yi Xiaodao thought.
At this time, an old man with thin skin and tender flesh walked into the courtyard from outside the door: "Are you Yi Xiaodao?"
Yi Xiaodao turned around and looked: "Yes, I am. Who are you? What do you want from me?"
"I am the manager of the palace's internal affairs. His Majesty is coming to see you. Please clean up as soon as possible." The old man was Wang Zhenliang and said lightly.
"Your Majesty...are you coming to see me?" Yi Xiaodao was startled and stood up quickly, "When will you arrive? I don't know...Lian'er, Yue'er, put out the stove fire, come out quickly, Fang Long, you too Come out. Pack your clothes!"
Fang Long, Xiang Lian'er, and He Yue'er came out of the room and shook off the dust on their clothes. Xiang Lian'er asked, "What's wrong? The food isn't ready yet. Why put out the stove fire? Go out to the restaurant." eat?"
Yi Xiaodao said: "Your Majesty will be here soon, why do you care about the food? Quick, wipe your face, look at the smoke..." As he said, he helped Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er wipe their faces.
Fang Long stood aside. When he heard that His Majesty was coming, he asked, "Master Yi, why don't I avoid it?"
Yi Xiaodao saw that the scars were still on Fang Long's face, and deliberately asked him to avoid it. After thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate and said, "There is no need to avoid it, and don't call me Daxia Yi. Just call me Xiaodao."
"I'd better call you Brother Yi." Fang Long said.
Yi Xiaodao was about to speak when he saw Wang Zhenliang quietly and respectfully standing by the door. Knowing that the emperor had arrived, he had no intention of arguing, so he quickly knelt down first.
Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er also knelt down, and Fang Long also knelt on the ground hurriedly.
A pair of official boots appeared in front of Yi Xiaodao: "Yi Xiaodao, how is it here?"
Yi Xiaodao kowtowed quickly and said: "Xiao Dao is a common man. He is a gift from the emperor. I am very grateful!"
"Hahahaha, that's not the right answer. I'm asking you how are you doing here! Get up." Zhao Yizhi walked to the side and sat down on the stone bench.
"Okay! It's great! It's much better here than in Wancheng! Your Majesty, you don't know that where I live in Wancheng, centipedes and scorpions are running around, and my socks have been gnawed by rats! It's just a pigsty!" Yi Xiaodao climbed up and started chatting first with a familiar look.
When Xiang Lian'er heard the word "pig pen", she glared at Yi Xiaodao fiercely. She completely forgot that Yi Xiaodao, who regarded wealth as his life, spent five hundred taels for the "pig pen".
"Hahahaha, it's a pity that raising pigs in the capital is inconvenient, and the smell is too bad, otherwise I would really change you to a house with a pigsty." Zhao Yizhi's mental strength is extremely sharp, and he can detect Xianglian even if he doesn't look behind him. Er glared at Yi Xiaodao, and naturally understood what was going on, and started joking along with Yi Xiaodao's words.
"Your Majesty came to the humble residence in person. Xiaodao was terrified. If you have any instructions, your Majesty can summon a palace maid or eunuch to give you a message, and the common people will do it immediately!" Yi Xiaodao did not dare to directly ask Zhao Yizhi what he was doing, so he had to play around and hope that Zhao Yi Zhi can say it directly.
Zhao Yizhi sniffed his nose: "Are you ready to eat? Just in time, I haven't eaten yet. Please prepare an extra bowl and chopsticks for me."
Yi Xiaodao quickly said to Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er: "Quick, quick, turn on the fire and continue cooking. Fang Long, go out and buy a chicken. I will cook for His Majesty and show off my skills as a 'beggar's chicken'"! Your Majesty, I have never shown this 'Beggar's Chicken' lightly. I would like to ask Your Majesty to have a taste today! "
When Wang Zhenliang heard that Zhao Yizhi was going to have dinner at Yi Xiaodao's house, he was about to step forward to dissuade him. Zhao Yizhi knew what he wanted to do when Wang Zhenliang's footsteps moved slightly. He turned to look at Wang Zhenliang and glared for a moment. Wang Zhenliang did not dare to move. .
Fang Long responded, ran out and bought a chicken, and also bought some braised meat. Yi Xiaodao took the chicken, and together with Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er, the three of them started working in the kitchen.
As Yi Xiaodao joined in, the green smoke in the chimney gradually turned black. Wang Zhenliang was horrified and asked Zhao Yizhi softly: "The old slave suggested calling in fire soldiers to prevent any unexpected events."
Zhao Yizhi looked at the thick black smoke and was a little frightened. He nodded repeatedly: "Okay...Okay, call us quickly to prevent any unexpected events..."
In addition to thick black smoke rising, explosions were heard from time to time in the kitchen, accompanied by exclamations from Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er.
"Knife...let's forget about it..." Zhao Yizhi shouted to the kitchen.
Zhao Yizhi ran out with a big black lump in his hands: "Your Majesty, please be patient for a moment, you'll be fine soon!" After saying that, he turned around and ran into the kitchen.
Zhao Yizhi asked Fang Long, who was standing silently aside: "Are you usually like this?"
Fang Long replied: "Usually, Miss Xiang Lian'er and Miss He Yue'er cook. Today is the first time I see Brother Yi cooking."
Zhao Yizhi smiled bitterly: "Then I'm really lucky..."
"Here comes the chicken soup~" Yi Xiaodao ran out quickly with a bowl of chicken soup and put the chicken soup on the stone table. His hands were so hot that he pinched his earlobes.
Zhao Yizhi frowned slightly, why was the sentence "Here comes the chicken soup" so harsh... Before he could think about it, Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er called Fang Long, and together they brought out the rest of the food.
"Xiao Dao, I remember... isn't 'Beggar's Chicken' a Su City dish? How come you, a Wancheng native, know this dish?" Zhao Yizhi stared at the black lump and asked.
Yi Xiaodao raised his sleeve and wiped his face, and said: "The beggar must know how to beg a beggar chicken..."
"Hahahaha, then you, a beggar, do have some skills. You can do everything! Get it out of the way quickly and show me!" Zhao Yizhi laughed loudly.
"Your Majesty...can this black thing...be eaten?" Wang Zhenliang had heard of Su City's famous dish, beggar's chicken, but had never seen it. When he saw this black lump, he couldn't help but be curious.
Zhao Yizhi turned around and explained: "This is not chicken, the chicken is inside! Just brush the chicken with cooking wine and sauce, then wrap it with lotus leaves and yellow mud, throw it into the fire and roast it. When the mud is cooked, the chicken will naturally It’s already familiar.”
Yi Xiaodao was a little stunned when he heard this: "This is a beggar chicken...how can your majesty know how to do it?"
Zhao Yizhi said angrily: "I know a lot, why are you just standing there? Open it quickly!"
Yi Xiaodao didn't care to think about how Zhao Yi Zhi, the emperor of Daqi, knew about this beggar chicken, but he didn't allow him to think too much at this time, and hurried into the kitchen to take out the kitchen knife. Open the beggar's chicken.
Zhao Yizhi suddenly said: "Wait a minute, you all retreat, leaving only Yi Xiaodao here."
Everyone looked at each other, and Wang Zhenliang said loudly: "Didn't you hear what your Majesty said? Follow me and leave!" After saying that, he turned and walked out of the house.
Xiang Lian'er, He Yue'er, and Fang Long glanced at Yi Xiaodao, and had no choice but to follow Wang Zhenliang to wait outside the house.
"Don't use the kitchen knife, open it." Zhao Yizhi said coldly.
"Ah?" Yi Xiaodao was a little confused, "How... how can I open it without a kitchen knife?"
Zhao Yizhi continued: "Just use your hands, whether it's a fist or a palm, to open it. This is the emperor's order."
Yi Xiaodao saw that Zhao Yizhi's serious expression didn't look like he was joking. Although he didn't understand why, he still put down the kitchen knife, raised his palm as a knife, and chopped it down with all his strength.
"Ahhhhh, hot, hot, hot, it hurts." Yi Xiaodao quickly put his hands in his arms and jumped up.
Zhao Yizhi sat down and said in a deep voice: "Continue."
Yi Xiaodao looked at Zhao Yizhi, wondering why Zhao Yizhi was deliberately making things difficult for him now when he was talking and laughing with him just now. However, as the emperor, he could not disobey his orders. Yi Xiaodao changed his hand. , and struck the black lump with force again.
As expected, this hand was also burned by the beggar's chicken, causing pain. The pain made Yi Xiaodao hold his hands in front of his chest and jump.
Not far away, in the canopy of a tall tree, two young men stood on the branches, one holding a big knife and the other a long sword. I don’t know how the branches withstood their weight. The two were shaking. Mountains and hidden clouds. All the actions of Yi Xiaodao and Zhao Yizhi in the house were watched by the two of them.
"Did you see it wrong last time?" Zangyun asked.
Shan Shan shook his head: "I shouldn't be mistaken. I asked Hu Lishan later, and Hu Lishan said that he had also seen it, but at that time he thought Yi Xiaodao was just a juggler with some fire in him. His mouse was again He had been crawling around in ditches all year round, and his body was stained with oil. It was not impossible to explode a ring of fire, so Hu Lishan didn't take it seriously. But I could see clearly that the fire was inside Yi Xiaodao's body. It bursts out.”
Outside the house, on a high building, there were two young men standing on the roof with their bare hands. They were Lan Yue and Tui Lin.
Tui Lin was a little worried: "What if Shan Shan is wrong? Your Majesty, is this... a bit..."
Lan Yue smiled and said: "Your Majesty makes your own judgment, it is not yours or mine's to worry about."
Tui Lin nodded and said nothing, staring closely at Zhao Yizhi and Yi Xiaodao in the courtyard.
At the gate of the courtyard, Xiang Lian'er and the other three were already controlled by a group of soldiers. Qing Tian and Jia Hai were leaning against the door with their guns in their arms, while Wang Zhenliang was lying on the courtyard door, listening to what was going on inside.
"Mr. Wang, why are you bothering your majesty? Just let me have a fight with that kid, and you can try it out if you have the skills?" Qingtian said dissatisfied.
Jiahai turned to look at him and said with a smile: "A fight with you? If you kill him with one shot, who will go to Nanhuai then? You go? Can you do it if your brain is gone?"
Qingtian muttered: "I don't think that boy is any better than me, he just got lucky."
"What your Majesty wants is his shitty luck!" Jia Hai emphasized.
"You two, keep your voices down, I can't even hear you inside!" Wang Zhenliang scolded the two of them softly.
In the courtyard, Yi Xiaodao covered his hands and begged: "Your Majesty, the common people are incompetent. They really can't open it with their hands. Please allow the common people to use knives..."
Zhao Yizhi ignored Yi Xiaodao's plea, looked at Yi Xiaodao's red and swollen hands, and asked: "Of the two women who just went out, the one with fairer skin is your fiancée?"
Yi Xiaodao looked up at Zhao Yizhi, somewhat confused as to what he meant.
Zhao Yizhi ignored Yi Xiaodao's questioning gaze, picked up a cup of tea on the table, and said with a smile as if talking to himself: "Wancheng is a good place. I remember that the second Qiao from Jiangdong during the Three Kingdoms period was from Wancheng. The women in Wancheng have been pretty since ancient times... That girl seems to be called He Yue'er, right? She is indeed very good-looking, and I intend to... accept her as my concubine..."
Zhao Yizhi's words were like a bolt of thunder and lightning, hitting Yi Xiaodao. Yi Xiaodao stood frozen in place, unable to move.
That month, He Yue'er, who has long hair and bare feet, is going to marry the emperor in front of her?
"Bang!" With a loud noise, Yi Xiaodao punched the beggar's chicken. A ball of blazing fire burst out from Yi Xiaodao's fist, smashing the entire stone table to pieces. The dishes on the table also fell to the floor. Roasted to charcoal by the fierce fire.
Yi Xiaodao stared at Zhao Yizhi closely, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes, staring at Zhao Yizhi closely.
Zhao Yizhi picked up the tea cup, drank the tea calmly, and glanced at Yi Xiaodao.
Holding the sky and the sea, pushing the forest and embracing the moon, shaking the mountains and hiding the clouds, the six people have now surrounded Yi Xiaodao.
Shan Shan said softly: "Calm down."
