Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 268: Surrendering to the beauty, bullying Du Fuwei ( words)
  After three rounds of drinking, Qin Ran smashed the food and was a little disappointed with the bland dishes on the table. The period was limited and there was a lack of seasonings. Even though some of the ingredients were delicious in themselves, overall, Qin Ran was disappointed with the sumptuous dishes. However, it still feels unsatisfactory.

And he remembered that the beauty farm owner Shang Xiuxun didn't have many hobbies on weekdays, but he only loved food. When Shuanglong first joined Pegasus Ranch, he applied for the position of cook, and since Qin Ran came here, he naturally took up the job. Okay, I've already made preparations.
  His thoughts were wandering, and seeing the atmosphere in full swing, Qin Ran smiled slightly, "I've heard for a long time that the owner likes delicious food. I have a treasure that I would like to give to the owner to make him smile."

"Treasure?" Shang Xiuxun's beautiful eyes flashed with curiosity: "Please give me some advice, Xiuxun, wait and see."

Qin Ran took out two pamphlets from his sleeves with a smile and handed them to Shang Xiuxun.

Shang Xiuxun stretched out his slender jade hand to take the two books, and opened the cover of the first one very gently.
  Everyone was full of curiosity and wanted to see what this treasure was.

Shang Xiuxun flipped through the first booklet, looking attentive and surprised, "I can actually do this. I didn't expect the young master to have such in-depth research on the way of eating!"

That's right, the two books Qin Ran gave Shang Xiuxun were nothing special, they were just two volumes of recipes and recipes.
  The land of China is a world for foodies, and these two books are exactly what Shang Xiuxun likes.

Because Shang Xiuxun, the owner of the beauty shop, has no other hobbies in his life. He is never tired of fine food and delicate food. He is a standard cute foodie.

She is extremely picky about her diet and loves to try new things. Her dedicated chef is always replaced like a revolving door, and if he makes a meal that is not to her taste, he will be fired mercilessly.

Qin Ran naturally has special methods to deal with foodies like Shang Xiuxun.

You should know that although the Sui Dynasty was at its peak, it was rich all over the world, embraced all rivers, and introduced a large number of novel ingredients and cooking techniques from the Western and Southeastern regions. The food culture has developed greatly compared with previous generations, but compared with later generations, it is still very monotonous.

The main cooking methods are steaming, boiling, roasting, pan-frying, deep-frying, and roasting. In terms of dishes, the main dishes are grilled [barbecue], preserved [sashimi], preserved [meat, preserved fruit], soup, and glutinous rice. Vegetables mashed into puree, vegetable pastries, etc. are mainly used. There is no hot pot and stir-fry dishes with various flavors that people will never tire of eating on the Chinese dining table in later generations.

The variety of staple food is quite rich. Steamed buns, steamed buns, pancakes, rice, porridge, and noodles have all appeared, but dumplings, moon cakes and other stuffed delicacies have not yet disappeared. Moreover, the existing filling types for steamed buns and other stuffed pasta are far less rich and diverse than those of later generations.

The two booklets Qin Ran gave to Shang Xiuxun recorded the recipes of various staple foods, dishes, and pastries in later generations. For some of the ingredients and accessories that did not appear in this era, Qin Ran also thought of replacing them with existing ingredients.

Even for kitchen utensils that did not exist in this era, such as woks, hot pots, ovens, etc., he made an appendix describing in detail how to make various kitchen utensils. Although it cannot be manufactured on a large scale, it is not a problem to ask skilled craftsmen to order a few pieces for Shang Xiuxun's personal use.

Shang Xiuxun flipped through the two books one by one. While reading, he could not help but narrow his beautiful eyes. His little mouth smacked twice from time to time, and his cute lilac tongue also poked out the tip of his tongue from time to time to lick the delicate cherry blossoms. lip. Obviously he is imagining the taste of various novel and unprecedented delicacies.

"Young master is interested, Xiu Xun likes him very much."

After flipping through the two books, Shang Xiuxunfang felt a sense of sweet joy in her heart when she saw that the second book even included instructions for making several kitchen utensils.

She smiled brightly at Qin Ran and said playfully: "Young Master has put so much effort into choosing Xiu Xun, but what do you want from Xiu Xun...?"

"I have nothing to ask for." Qin Ran looked directly into Shang Xiuxun's beautiful eyes, smiled slightly and said, "I only wish for a beautiful smile."

After receiving the food booklet given by Kieran, seeing the novel recipes that obviously took a lot of effort from him, and seeing that he even designed new kitchen utensils himself, just to please her and make her smile,
  Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but swayed in his mind, his cheeks were slightly red, he lowered his head and looked sideways, and said calmly: "Young master is joking, you are a top figure in the world, Xiuxun is nothing more than a rough man in the world, how can he be worthy of being so valued by you?"

"Haha, why should the owner belittle himself? The owner is the most beautiful in the world, and everyone in the world knows about it!" Qin Ran complimented, and then didn't say anything more. There is no need to be so anxious when meeting for the first time.

A banquet where both the guest and the host enjoy themselves.

After the banquet, a middle-aged man walked out quickly with an ugly face and an anxious expression. This man was Tao Shusheng, one of the senior managers of the ranch.

Pegasus Ranch is rich in important strategic materials, such as war horses. It was fine in the prosperous times, but in these troubled times, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Pegasus Ranch is a battleground for all forces. Some quick-thinking ranch executives have begun to contact various parties. Big force.

One of them was Tao Shusheng, the third deacon. He had secretly taken refuge with Li Mi in Wagang Village and planned to cooperate with Li Mi to seize Pegasus Ranch.

It was okay before Qin Ran showed up. When Qin Ran appeared, he bought all the horses at the Pegasus Ranch with a large amount of money. This made Tao Shusheng, who had some plans, anxious, thinking that this would mess up Li Mi's plan to seize the ranch, so he hurriedly bought them. The message gets out.

Qin Ran on the other side was not idle either. After the banquet, Wei Zhenzhen and Fu Junzhuo returned to the small courtyard. He was alone, rising into the sky, following the marks of cold poison in Du Fuwei's body, towards the big city of Liyang. And go.

In Liyang City, the headquarters of the Jianghuai Army, in the heavily guarded General Manager's Mansion, Du Fuwei meditated in a secret room with his eyes closed.

However, judging from his slightly trembling body and livid face, he was not in good condition.

"Wow!" He spit out a mouthful of black blood, fell to the ground, and immediately turned into ice crystals.

Seeing such a scene, Du Fuwei's face became even more ugly, "What kind of tyrannical cold poison is this? Why have I never heard of it in my decades of experience in the world?"

At this time, a calm voice sounded in the secret room, "This palm is called Yin-Yang Coiling Dragon Palm, one yin and one yang. It is strong and domineering, but also contains cold poison."

"It turns out to be the Yin-Yang Coiled Dragon Palm." Du Fuwei nodded thoughtfully, but then his face changed drastically, "Who...who is there?"

The door of the secret room opened, and Qin Ran walked in casually. With the position of Cold Poison, Du Fuwei's position was as eye-catching as a firefly in the dark night.

"Who are you?" Du Fuwei growled fiercely.

"Come to conquer your people! Your future master!" Qin Ran said calmly.

"Arrogant!" Although Du Fuwei was seriously injured, the power of the Jianghuai overlord was still there. With a glare, a huge momentum came over like a mountain. A warrior below the innate level would probably be frightened by this momentum. The legs are three points weak.

But in front of Qin Ran, this so-called momentum was like a spring breeze blowing on his face, and it had no effect.

"It seems that I have to teach you a lesson before you can be honest!" Qin Ran chuckled, stretched out his hand and grabbed Du Fuwei directly.

"Hmph!" Du Fuwei snorted coldly when he saw this, his wide sleeves suddenly puffed up, and then they directly covered Qin Ran's body.

"What's in the sleeve? It's just a joke!"

There was a touch of disdain at the corner of Qin Ran's mouth, and then he flicked his finger, and the Six Meridian Divine Sword roared towards him instantly. Two sharp sword energy shot through the air instantly, cutting through Du Fuwei's long sleeve and hitting the arm guard. superior,
  Du Fuwei felt his arm go numb, and then Qin Ran's arm caught Du Fuwei's life gate. "you you……"

Being restrained by Qin Ran so lightly, Du Fuwei's face was extremely shocked. For a moment, he felt that all his views were shattered. He, the majestic overlord of the Jianghuai River and a master in the middle stage of the Grand Master, was actually no match for the newcomer.

For a moment, he fell deeply into self-doubt, "Am I old and useless, or am I dreaming?"

Qin Ran flicked his wrist, and the silver-white mask he had worn appeared on his hand, "Du Fuwei, do you know who I am!"

"It's you! No wonder you have such strength!" Du Fuwei immediately recognized Qin Ran as the Grand Master who defeated him in public, and then gave up completely and gave up resistance, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by your visit?"

"He's a knowledgeable person, so let me get straight to the point. I'm interested in Jianghuai. Is Mr. Du willing to join me?" Qin Ran said lightly.

"What!? Are you kidding me? Your appetite is a bit too big. This land of Jianghuai was obtained by Du with countless efforts. You are so open-minded. Do you really think that I, Du Fuwei, am a weakling? Persimmon? You are indeed very strong, but if you want me to give away the Jianghuai land, it is simply wishful thinking!" After hearing Qin Ran's words, Du Fuwei's expression changed drastically, and he spoke gloomily. .

"Haha, Mr. Du, you don't really think that you will have the opportunity to participate in the competition and seize the world! I'm afraid you will eventually die miserably at the hands of the powerful!" Qin Ran mocked.

In fact, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the struggles between the court and the major forces were still dominated by the aristocrats. Their family members were all over the world and their reputation was great. Talents will give priority to joining them. Even in the later stage of the hegemony, there will be a situation where thousands of miles of fertile land will be annexed in one day.

As for the rebels like Wagangzhai and Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army, they all belong to the lower class. They started as underworld forces and lacked innate momentum. Few nobles took the initiative to join them. Compared with the former, it is more difficult to win over the world. It's too much to go higher.

Du Fuwei naturally understood this truth. It was precisely because he was hopeless in striving for hegemony that he indulged his soldiers and plundered and killed every place they conquered. He was silent for a while and asked:
  "Do you have the strength to dominate the world? This cannot be achieved by high martial arts. Although you are powerful, there are still a few great masters in the world."

"Haha, does Mr. Du know who defeated the Sui Dynasty Navy?" Qin Ran's expression remained as usual.

"Could it be...that this is also your work?" A look of surprise flashed across Du Fuwei's face.

"Haisha Gang, Jukun Gang, and the Sui Dynasty Navy's five-toothed warship are all in my hands. The Dongming Faction and even the Pegasus Ranch will fall into my hands. With the addition of the Jianghuai Army, I am naturally sure to seize the world. !" As Qin Ran spoke, a strong sense of confidence and domineering emerged.

"At that time, I will be the supreme one, and Mr. Du will be able to live a lifetime of glory and wealth!"

Du Fuwei's face was uncertain, "I established the Jianghuai Army with my own hands, and it is impossible to hand it over."

"As long as General Manager Du is obedient, General Manager Du will still be the unique general manager of Jianghuai Army, and no one can shake General Manager Du's status!" Qin Ran said calmly.

Du Fuwei was silent for a while, and finally shook his head, "Everyone can tell lies, but I don't know if what you say is true or false!"

Qin Ran sighed slightly, "Is my tone too kind? I don't have to drink wine as a penalty for toasting. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."

Before Du Fuwei could react, dozens of rays of cold light entered Du Fuwei's body from his hand.

It’s a destiny talisman!
  "what!"

The moment the cold light entered his body, Du Fuwei's whole body suddenly tightened, and he gasped, and then an indescribable pain spread directly throughout his body, as if there were thousands of ants on his body. It was like a bite. In addition to itching, there was also a pain that penetrated into the bone marrow and spread throughout the body.

"what……"

Just when Du Fuwei was about to scream, Qin Ran reached out suddenly and sealed his mute point. His voice suddenly stopped and the expression on his face became extremely distorted.

Du Fuwei no longer knew how to describe his feelings at this time. As a rebel leader and an underworld overlord, Du Fuwei had experienced hundreds of battles and experienced a lot of pain.

But now he found that compared with the pain at this time, the pain he suffered before was simply insignificant, as if he was in the paradise world.

This feeling can definitely be described as unable to live or die.
  Du Fuwei felt that death now was a luxury wish for him, and his eyes looking at Qin Ran were full of deep fear.

At this moment, in his eyes, Qin Ran was completely a demon in human skin.

After burning the incense, Du Fuwei was sweating profusely, and the clothes on his body were soaked as if they were soaked. His face was pale, and his face was distorted.
  Seeing this, Qin Ran stretched out his hand and touched Du Fuwei's body, directly releasing the life talisman on his body, and at the same time, unlocked his mute point.

"You...what are you doing!"

Du Fuwei spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes full of fear.

"Haha, this technique is a life talisman. I am the only one in the world who knows this technique. If there is no antidote to suppress it, an attack will occur every three months, and an attack lasts for several days. I wonder what Mr. Du is thinking about? Don't worry. Okay, this is just a little torture, I have more cruel methods!" Qin Ran grinned and whispered in front of Du Fuwei like a devil.

"Alas!" Du Fuwei sighed and said dejectedly: "It's not impossible for me to surrender, but I have the support of the Demon Sect behind me. If I surrender to you, you will definitely become the enemy of the Demon Sect."

"Momen? Do you know how Mo Yin Bian Fu Hui died?" Qin Ran chuckled.

"It turns out that Bian Fulai died in your hands. No wonder..." Seeing that the last supporter he moved out had no effect, Du Fuwei sighed and bowed down, "Du Fuwei has seen your Majesty!"

The two discussed some more details, and an hour later, Qin Ran left.

After returning to Pegasus Ranch, he immediately summoned Shuanglong.

"Master, what do you want from us?" Shuanglong asked respectfully.
