"The rising sun will make immortals live forever. The fortune of the country will always be prosperous, and our alliance will always be victorious." After the cook read four Gonggongzheng slogans, even his expression changed. Although he was still smiling, in the eyes of Gao Lin and his party His image in it undoubtedly shocked a lot of people: "I... the Changsheng Alliance, Kitchen Lord Xue Yan."
The Stove Lord is the Stove Lord. Anyone who can bear this nickname will definitely not be a rotten fish or shrimp. It should be noted that food is the most important thing for the people. Starting a stove is a daily necessity for every household. If ordinary people dare to For calling him that, he would have been hacked to death long ago.
Xue Yanxiang was a local man and was respectfully called the Stove Lord, so he was certainly extraordinary. This "Kitchen Lord" not only affirms his status in the world, but also affirms his ability and character - of course, in the eyes of middle-aged warriors, Xue Yan is not just the Kitchen Lord, one of the leaders of the "Five Sacrifice" of the Eternal Life Alliance. Before joining the Immortal Alliance, he had another nickname - "The Bone Razor".
It is said that wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, sex is a bone-shaving knife, wealth is a life-stealing brat, and anger is the root of trouble - but Xue Yan's big beard has nothing to do with sex.
That's right, he can't get involved, because his "knife" is not a combination with others at all, it is a "bone razor" in the literal sense. Xue Yan has always been a cook, but through the guidance of an expert and his own enlightenment, he has become a master of the "Executive Knife Technique". It is said that he can cut the skin and flesh from the bones, and he is extremely ruthless.
Whether it is Stove Lord or Bone Shaver, these two nicknames are not his self-proclaimed names, but titles given to him by the world. Those who respect him call him the former, those who fear him mostly call him the latter, and the weight of the two nicknames is far from the made-up "Fuck the Tiger to Death" or "The Cruel and Merciless Killer as Iron-blooded and White-faced Young Man" "Comparable to that.
"It turns out to be Mr. Xue Zao of the Eternal Life Alliance. How disrespectful." The middle-aged martial artist said that he was unfortunately right. He had no choice but to offer his hand to Xue Yan for his master. Gao Lin on the side had a gloomy face - he had just put down his harsh words, Unexpectedly, the ordinary stinky cook in front of him turned out to be the Stove Lord Xue Yan, one of the leaders of the Five Priests of the Eternal Life Alliance. This made him really embarrassed.
Although the swordsman was just a draw with him just now, he knew that his subordinate had hidden tricks and his real ability was much more than that. But judging from his fearful words and deeds - I am afraid that the Stove Lord's methods are extraordinary. .
"Young Master Gao, just accept it if you like it." Xue Yan said with a smile: "Today's shop's losses are all on my head. Please give me some thin noodles, please be merciful. Don't be disobedient again." No mercy. There are so many beautiful girls in Yanliu Lane waiting for Mr. Gao to come, so why bother a mere ordinary woman?"
"If Mr. Gao stops here, I can pretend that I didn't hear what you said before."
Xue Yan has a rough appearance, but he is actually very good at life and conversation. His words put Gao Lin on a higher level - for a second-generation ancestor like Gao Lin, he will definitely not buy your fault if you play hard. , it is better to say a few soft words, this will be good for everyone, the Changsheng Alliance and the county government can also maintain the relationship, and innocent people will not be trapped in it again.
Although Gao Lin has an arrogant personality and doesn't like to listen to others' preaching, he is not stupid either. In the past, he could get past the shopkeeper with his many fists, but now that Xue Yan had revealed his identity, it would be too ugly for him to mess with others, so he nodded with a complicated expression: "Xue Zaojun is Well... today, Gao is honored."
After that, he asked his servant to let go of the innocent woman and left with his entourage. Before leaving, he looked back at the two swordsmen as if he remembered something again, and said in a bad tone: "Let's ride on the donkey and watch the singing. I'll wait and see how long you can stay under someone else's roof."
At this time, Gao Lin no longer wanted to cause trouble for this woman. These two bugs that ruined his good mood were more worthy of his concern - to a certain extent, these two swordsmen really saved this woman. One life.
"I won't send it off." Xue Yan put his hands behind his back and watched Gao Lin and his party leave, then softly uttered two words. As Gao Lin and his party completely disappeared from sight, Xue Yan's face no longer smiled like before, but became a little serious.
What the two swordsmen didn't expect was that the woman who had just been rescued from Gao Lin's clutches and shouted "Hero, help me" to them not only did not express her gratitude to them, but even gave them a blank look. , then walked to Xue Yan and asked complainingly: "Brother Xue, who are those two people?"
what is happening? Faced with such a bizarre turn of events, the young swordsman stopped blushing and his eyesight stopped, and he sobered up in an instant.
"Oh... two little brothers..." Xue Yan turned around and walked to the two of them, smiling bitterly and said: "If you two don't mind, just sit down and talk, and I, old Xue, will cook two more good dishes. I will compensate you."
It was already dark, and all the guests in the lobby and private rooms had almost left. Only the swordsman and the woman from before were left in the same room. The three of them were silent to each other, and the atmosphere was indescribably awkward.
Not long after, Xue Yan held several plates of steaming stir-fries in his right hand and two jars of good wine in his left hand. He kicked open the door of the private room: "By the way, haven't you asked the names of these two little brothers?"
"Thank you." The older swordsman clasped his fists and pointed at the young man beside him: "This is my... senior brother."
"Long Qing." The young swordsman announced his name, and then asked anxiously: "Brother Xue, what on earth is going on?"
"No rush." Xue Yan waved his hand with a smile. He pointed at the woman first: "Let me introduce you to the two little brothers. This one is also a member of my Immortal Alliance, Ning Zanghua. Zanghua, Have you not thanked the two knights just now?"
"Thank you for your auntie's legs. We managed to catch Gao Lin, but these two stupid young men got into trouble." Ning Zanghua usually looks like a dignified and quiet young girl, but she didn't expect that when she opened her mouth, The old world.
"Hey." Xue Yan patted the table seriously: "The two brothers are also kind-hearted. They draw their swords to help when they see injustice. Aren't they the kind of knights we in the Eternal Life Alliance always want to make friends with?"
Hearing what his immediate boss said, Ning Zanghua reluctantly bowed to the two of them: "Zanghua... I thank you both for your help."
The appearance of these two people made Xie Zhan and Long Qing even more confused. Although their expressions were calm, they were full of suspicion.
"You two knights, have you ever heard of our 'Eternal Life Alliance'?" Xue Yan asked Ning Zanghua while he ordered Ning Zanghua to refill the wine for the two people opposite him.
"I'm sorry." Xie Zhan shook his head: "My brothers and I have come down from the mountain not long ago and have never heard of your sect."
"No, no." Xue Yan shook his head: "Our Changsheng Alliance is not a sect, but a martial arts organization - Su Ai makes friends with various heroes in the martial arts world and unites them to help each other. You must know that the martial arts world is dangerous. , many righteous people will have grudges with evil heretics. It would be good if there are famous sects among these people to endorse them, but if they fight alone and are alone, they will inevitably be poisoned by others in secret, so our alliance leader established This alliance will twist all the knights into a rope to fight against those unjust people. If we encounter a dispute in the right path, we will also mediate between it to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and hatred. So no matter Whether it is chivalry or common people, they all rely on us."
"In this way, your Excellency and the Changsheng Alliance behind you are truly a benevolent and righteous force." Xie Zhan praised. Long Qing rarely goes down the mountain, so he doesn't know the situation in the outside world. However, he has spent the first half of his life wandering like a duckweed. Naturally, he knows how many dangers are hidden under the calm rivers and lakes. Robbery of wealth and sex is light, and there are many heresy. This person will kill the entire family at every turn, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.
"What does that have to do with the Gao Lin from before? Why did she say that she managed to catch Gao Lin out?" There were only a few brothers on the mountain. The city where Long Qing dealt with people was too shallow. Faced with his own thoughts, Get to the bottom of unclear questions.
"Haha, Brother Long is a little too impatient." Faced with this question that has been asked countless times, Xue Yan finally gave the answer: "Gao Lin is the son of the local county captain Gao Xia. He usually relies on his father to bully male bullies. There are many evil things done by women, and the people can't bear to be disturbed by them. We also set up a trap to seduce him here with the intention of hoeing the strong and supporting the weak. We originally wanted to teach Gao Lin a lesson after he took action against Zanghua, but we didn't expect that he would be beaten by the two little brothers. Taking the first step saves us from having to take action again.”
Xue Yan... is really an extraordinary person. It was obviously him who finally revealed his identity and solved the troubles faced by Xie and Long, but in words he said that all the credit belongs to these two people.
"Why don't we take action? It's obviously them who messed up our whole plan." Although her name contains the word "hide", she really can't hide her temper at all. Ning Zanghua was obviously very worried about this, and she stretched out a slender jade finger to point at the two people opposite her: "Do you two know how long I spent practicing my appearance and gait? Do you know how much strength I have wasted and endured?" Why don't we fight them on the spot? Do you know how long we have been waiting for this opportunity? If today's plan fails, Gao Lin will definitely notice it. Even if the drunkard is confused, his father will be able to guess our purpose after knowing it. It will be difficult to take action again!”
These words were resounding. Ning Zanghua revealed all the unhappiness she had experienced during these days and blamed it on Xie and Long. The two swordsmen also blushed for a moment - their unintentional actions actually caused destruction. This is a long-planned plan.
"Is Gao Lin that difficult to deal with? If not, my brothers and I will do you a favor and chop him down?" Long Qing pondered for a while and said loudly to Ning Zanghua.
"Alas...Brother Long, you don't know something." Xue Yan interjected: "Gao Lin is just a second-generation ancestor who indulges in pleasure, but his father is the highest military officer in the county and is in charge of the entire county's troops. If there is no reason, If we attack Gao Lin, then we, the Everlasting Alliance, are the ones who are at fault."
"Although Zanghua's tone was fierce, what she said was true - the opportunity she mentioned was not just the opportunity to get rid of Gao Lin, but a legitimate reason."
Although Xue Yan appears to be a rough man, he actually speaks in a controlled manner. What he tells Xie and Long is just superficial - the person they really want to deal with is actually Gao Lin's father Gao Xia, and what he really wants to deal with is Gao Lin's father Gao Xia. The person who got rid of Gaoxia was the governor of Haiyin County.
In a county, the three titles of county governor, county lieutenant, and county magistrate help each other and check and balance each other. However, the remote area of Haiyin County has many refugees. Of course, the one who has the absolute say here is the county lieutenant who has soldiers under his command. . The county guard was already dissatisfied with this, so he secretly contacted the Changsheng Alliance, hoping to use Gao Xia, the trouble-making son, as a breakthrough to completely overthrow this political enemy.
Xue Yan originally wanted to use the beautiful Ning Zanghua as a bait to catch Gao Lin, but when Gao Lin did something inappropriate, he broke in and claimed that Ning Zanghua was the fiancée of the young leader of the Eternal Life Alliance, and so on, so it was justifiable to destroy Gao Lin on the spot. After Di and Gaoxia broke up, the county governor could use the Changsheng Alliance's daily righteous deeds and accumulated reputation as inseparable from the peace and order of Haiyin County, and use the people's words to put pressure on Gaoxia and provoke them step by step. His anger forced him to make impulsive actions, and finally he used "proper" and "legal" means to completely eradicate Gao Xia's group.
In this way, the county governor can regain power, and the Everlasting Alliance can continue to increase its popularity, which makes the two sides hit it off. Of course, this matter cannot be discussed by outsiders, after all, it will affect the upright and unruly image of the Changsheng Alliance.
It is true that the Everlasting Alliance is an organization that pays attention to chivalry, but its leader cannot just pay attention to the word "chivalry". In addition to chivalry, there are also other considerations. Although the Immortality Alliance has some power, after all, it is only a non-governmental organization. At some point, it needs to make compromises and concessions to the government, otherwise "Immortality" will only disappear in an instant.
"That's really... we were reckless." Xie Zhan and Long Qing had already done something rude, and Xue Yan had been speaking kindly. It would be really unjustifiable if they didn't express their opinions "Brother Xue, in your opinion, what can we do to make up for today's mistakes? As long as you ask, we will definitely help."
Otherwise, how can we say that the "old man" is very resourceful? In fact, Xue Yan didn't do anything. He had already convinced these two people with just his amiable words - so if you want to succeed, you should treat others with courtesy. , Convince people with virtue, instead of putting on a bad face as if others owe him money, and making others look down on him at every turn.
Of course, Xue Yan didn't have any bad intentions towards these two people - now that the matter has come to this, why not make friends with two ancient and warm-hearted knights? Besides, things weren't that bad.
Why is Xue Yan one of the Five Sacrifice and the "Kitchen Lord" welcomed by everyone? The secret lies here. He is ruthless and ruthless towards his enemies, and he treats his friends - even those who may become friends, with a kind and friendly attitude.
"Now that the two worthy brothers have spoken, I will no longer refuse, old Xue." Xue Yan stood up and bowed his hands to the two swordsmen: "The night is already dark, so the two worthy brothers will stay in this private room for a while. Stay one night, and tomorrow, Lao Xue, I will take you to our Eternal Life Alliance headquarters outside the county to have a look."
