The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 50 The Battle Begins

Although Ji Fa looked younger, he was actually quite old. He learned all kinds of etiquette since he was a child, and he behaved calmly and magnanimously, which made it easy for people to have a good impression of him.

After some courtesies, because Qi Yuan's place is relatively noisy and not a place for conversation, Ji Fa invited Qi Yuan to his house for a talk.

After everyone came to the palace, they sat down as guests and hosts, and had a good talk.

When the banquet was put on, everyone toasted each other, which was very lively.

However, Ji Fa saw that Qi Yuan had only tasted the dishes on the table, and then seldom ate them, so he asked, "Sir, could it be that these foods are not to your liking?"

Qi Yuan said with some embarrassment: "Forgive me, King Wu, I have been studying cooking all my life, and I have always pursued excellence in food. Except for these snacks, the rest of the ingredients are a bit wasted in this way, so I have some food. Do not swallow."

Ji Fa laughed and said: "Sir, you are really discerning. These dim sums were made by a chef hired by the palace last year. He can still make some delicacies. Gu Ping likes to eat them every day, but most of them are daily foods, so I didn't put them on the table. banquet."

"Oh?"

Qi Yuan became a little interested: "Can I invite you to see me?"

"Sir, if you want to see him, you can."

Ji Fa ordered his servants to find the cook.

After a while, the cook came to see him. After seeing Qi Yuan, he was shocked and asked, "Old Qi, why are you here?"

"what?"

After Qi Yuan saw his appearance, he was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this was the second son of He Yu who met at Sanshan Pass.

"I still don't know who it is, it turned out to be you!"

Qi Yuan greeted him with a smile.

"Why, do you know the cook in my house?" Ji Fa asked curiously.

"Reporting to King Wu, the villain's craft is learned from old Qi." He Laoer said respectfully.

"So that's it, I don't think you are also the master's apprentice?"

Ji Fa looked at this man differently.

"Wu Wang praised the villain. At the beginning, the villain's family was only pointed out casually by Qi Lao for a few days, so how can they be regarded as high disciples!" He Laoer even said that he did not dare.

After this incident, everyone became even more curious about Qi Yuan. They didn't expect that people who were only guided by Qi Yuan for a few days were able to do things in Prince Wu's Mansion.

After a banquet, they each dispersed.

As expected by Qi Yuan, King Wu did not mention asking Qi Yuan to be an official in Xiqi.

However, Qi Yuan didn't come here to be an official, so he didn't feel any disappointment, and he was still teaching the cooking skills to the people who came to learn it every day.

On weekdays, Huang Feihu often came to him to eat and drink, similar to when he was in Chaoge.

During the period, I also met his eldest son Huang Tianhua, a very heroic young man, full of vigor and vitality.

Relatively speaking, Qi Yuan was more interested in Huang Tianhua's mount.

He hasn't seen a unicorn yet. This legendary beast is also known as an auspicious beast among the human race, and it is a symbol of auspiciousness. It is rumored that only a virtuous person should not be ridden.

Qi Yuan didn't know whether he could be considered a man of virtue.

Although he is willing to pass on his cooking skills, he also teaches people everywhere how to find more edible things in the wild, so as to make people's lives better as much as possible, but none of this can conceal his Some of my own selfishness.

Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs and died for the people of the world without regret.

He can't.

He is also not that noble, not the kind of temperament that can sacrifice himself for others.

In fact, he is very afraid of death, so when singing in the court, he will secretly guide people to establish the image of a sage, just for the purpose of being able to obtain the god position when conferring the gods, not to say that he is really There will be the virtues that a sage should have.

Moreover, even if he is really a man of virtue, I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity and strength to subdue such a powerful beast as Qilin.

Now the number of unicorns is rare, either in the fairy cave, or hiding in the cave, it is rare for ordinary people to see.

He sized it up carefully, and saw that the jade unicorn had a lion's head and antlers, a tiger's eyes and a elk body, covered with jade-like scales. It was not only majestic, but its strength was also unpredictable.

But obviously this unicorn is not interested in him. Seeing Qi Yuan circle around it a few times without stopping to watch, he raised his head proudly and snorted, spraying a white mist from his nose, which almost missed Qi Yuan. face.

From its eyes, Qi Yuan could see the disdain, he knelt down a little annoyed, took a sneak peek, and found that it was a male unicorn.

So he secretly thought about whether he should tell Huang Feihu that if the money and meat made from the treasure on Qilin would not only nourish him, but also completely cure his hidden diseases.

After a period of time like this, until I heard that Da Shang sent [-] troops to conquer Xiqi, and Huang Feihu was going to help King Wu and Jiang Shang with military affairs, he lost his leisure time and couldn't come here often.

But when I came here occasionally, I heard him mention that Zhang Guifang, the general soldier of Qinglongguan, was in command of the [-] troops of the Great Merchants this time.

Qi Yuan had a good impression of Zhang Guifang. He knew that this person was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also skilled in military tactics.

With him around, I'm afraid it will give Xiqi a headache for a while.

At least, before Nezha came, no one in Xiqi could deal with Zhang Guifang.

In fact, this is also the case. Although Qi Yuan never went to watch the battle because of his status, he also heard Huang Feihu mention it, because the generals on Xiqi's side didn't believe his words, and underestimated Zhang Guifang's methods. First, he beheaded Ji Shugan. Later, Nan Gongshi and Zhou Ji were captured alive.

Now that Jiang Ziya had no means to deal with Zhang Guifang, he had no choice but to hang up the exemption card.

After losing the first battle, all the generals in the city were frustrated.

When Jiang Ziya was having a headache in the prime minister's mansion, he suddenly heard someone report that there was a boy outside asking to see him.

Jiang Ziya was preoccupied with how to deal with Zhang Guifang's thaumaturgy, and didn't want to pay attention to other things, but he hesitated for a moment, and was led in anyway.

Seeing that the visitor was young and extremely handsome, he just bowed when he came in and said, "See you, uncle."

Jiang Ziya wondered, "Who are you, and why do you call me uncle?"

"The disciple is the sect of Daoist Taiyi in Jinguang Cave of Qianyuan Mountain. His surname is Li and his name is Nezha. Now he is ordered by his master to come down the mountain and come to obey his uncle's orders."

It was Nezha who came. He had been reshaped by Master Taiyi with a lotus incarnation. This time, he was ordered by his master to go down the mountain and join Xiqi.

Jiang Ziya was overjoyed when he heard the words, he turned out to be a disciple of his fellow senior brother, presumably the senior fellow sent his disciples to help him because he thought he was in trouble.

Although Nezha's temperament has been extinguished by Taiyi Zhenren and other immortals, he is still active by nature. After seeing the ceremony, he directly asked: "Master, when I came just now, did you see the outside world?" Such a big military camp, I don't know who came to attack Xiqi?"

Jiang Ziya sighed: "The Marshal of the Great Merchants Commander is Zhang Guifang, the former Qinglong Gate Guard. This man possesses extraordinary skills and has defeated me several times in a row, forcing me to hang up the exemption card. Now I am worrying about this matter."

Nezha heard the words and was not afraid at all. After going through a few hardships, although he is not as lawless as before, but there are few people who are afraid, and Zhang Guifang is not in his eyes.

So he said directly: "Uncle, this disciple has come here to join us, and he hasn't made an inch of merit. Why don't we use this piece of Gui Fang to accomplish my merits, lest people look down on me, Xi Qi."

Jiang Ziya hesitated: "Are you sure that if you are caught, you may be killed?"

"Uncle Master just fights for me, a mere Zhang Guifang is nothing."

Jiang Ziya saw that Nezha was full of confidence, so he stopped talking, ordered his soldiers and horses, and went out of the city to invite a battle.
