Following Jia Xingwen's suggestion, Liu Lin led the Anxi Army to march westward again after repairing the sandbank for several days.
After leaving Shazhou City and exiting the customs, you will theoretically arrive at the boundary of the Western Region.
The territory here is vast and the territory is vast.
Everywhere you look, you feel a sense of desolation and desolation.
Logically speaking, when marching in such a place, you need to pay more attention to prevent being attacked by surprise.
However, Liu Lin was eager to return home, so he ordered a hasty march.
Jia Xingwen didn't have much to say about this.
After all, he had just joined Liu Lin, and he was not familiar with Liu Lin, so he should keep a low profile.
Now that Liu Lin has expressed his stance, he should naturally respect Liu Lin's choice.
Only when he felt that there was a huge deviation in Liu Lin's judgment should Jia Xingwen make some suggestions to Liu Lin.
Of course, this is just a suggestion.
As an aide, there is no reason to force Dong Weng to do anything.
As a staff member, he can only give suggestions. Whether Dong Weng adopts it or not depends on Dong Weng himself.
The scorching sun burned the already cracked earth as if it were an iron plate.
Not to mention humans, even horses can feel extremely painful when walking on it.
At this moment, Jia Xingwen also felt a little dizzy.
This should be a sign of heat stroke.
Even though he is a practitioner, he cannot be alone when facing heatstroke.
Even Liu Lin, the protector of the capital, felt the heat was a bit unbearable.
As a counselor at this time, Jia Xingwen knew that he should stand up and say something.
Controlling the horse's rein with one hand and clamping the horse's belly with both legs, Jia Xingwen quickly came to Liu Lin's side.
"Protector, the weather is very hot. I think it would be better to find a place to camp first so that the soldiers can rest and catch their breath."
When Jia Xingwen said this, his tone was very calm and gentle, and it was easier for Liu Lin to accept it.
"Yeah, that's fine."
Liu Lin waved his hand and said: "This is the general's order, and the entire army is looking for a place to camp."
Jia Xingwen was overjoyed when he saw this.
It was the best news that most of the guards could listen and persuade him. He was afraid that most of the guards would not be able to listen and dissuade him and would insist on going his own way.
If this is the case, Jia Xingwen really doesn't know what to do.
Because no matter what, he is just an aide of Liu Lin.
Many times he can only play a supporting role.
If Liu Lin really didn't listen, he couldn't possibly pick up a knife and put it on Liu Lin's neck, right?
At this moment, Jia Xingwen was really happy.
A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and he really chose the right person to be loyal to.
...
...
But it's easier said than done.
Even though Liu Lin had decided to camp temporarily and rest, it was still extremely difficult to find a suitable camp in such a desert.
People often encounter such problems, but the dilemma Liu Lin faced now made him have to work hard to do it.
The situation is very complicated and beyond the expectations of many people.
But God obviously still cares about this Anxi army.
After searching for nearly an hour, they finally found clues on the desert Gobi.
"There's a cave there!"
A scout discovered the clue immediately and ran back excitedly to report to the Chief Protector Liu Lin.
Liu Lin was naturally extremely excited at this moment.
You must know that it is not easy to find caves in the Gobi desert, but it is a great blessing once you are careful.
Because, with the cave, all the soldiers had a place to escape the summer heat.
The shelter that the cave can provide is crucial to the current Anxi Army soldiers.
You should know that by avoiding direct sunlight, people can reduce the evaporation of a lot of water, at least without symptoms of dehydration.
Especially for an army.
Although they replenished a large amount of Danshui when they were in Shazhou City, the long road to Anxi Protectorate was still long, so they still had to save some. Otherwise, if there was a fault and there was no water to drink, it would be really serious.
What's more, there is no place to cry.
Jia Xingwen is not a hypocritical person.
But right now, rest is definitely the most important thing.
What makes Jia Xingwen even more happy is that this cave is big enough.
Therefore, it can basically accommodate all Anxi Army officers and soldiers.
This is simply a gift from God.
The soldiers of the Anxi Army rushed into the cave and sat down in twos and threes.
As they expected, the cave was very cool and could make people feel full of pleasure.
Jia Xingwen took out the water bag and took a cautious sip.
In this desert Gobi, water is the most important resource.
Everything can be in short supply, but Danshui cannot be in short supply.
Once there is a shortage of Danshui, it means that various out-of-control situations are likely to occur.
"It's not easy, it's really not easy. I really didn't expect to be able to find such a cool place in the vast Gobi Desert. This is really a blessing from God."
There is generally nothing wrong with what Jia Xingwen said.
Because the probability of finding a cave in the vast Gobi desert is about the same as finding someone who is not greedy for fame and wealth in Chang'an City.
There is no problem in saying that God has taken care of me.
It seems that the Anxi Army has good luck and Jia Xingwen has good luck.
Before he could rest for a few minutes, he saw Liu Lin's soldiers walking towards him.
"Mr. Jia, the guardian has asked you to come over."
"Oh, I got it."
Jia Xingwen quickly stood up.
He knew that when Liu Lin called him at this time, he must have something extremely important to tell him.
Under such circumstances, Jia Xingwen certainly did not dare to delay at all.
No matter what, he must show his responsibility and show the qualities and qualities that a counselor and staff member should have.
Soon Jia Xingwen came to Liu Lin and saluted Liu Lin respectfully.
"My subordinate Jia Xingwen pays homage to the Protector."
Liu Lin had just taken off the armor and stomach at this moment.
The Mingguang Armor's armor and stomach weighed dozens of kilograms, and were burned to dozens of degrees by the scorching sun.
The feeling of high temperature is simply crazy.
Even a guy like Liu Lin couldn't bear it anymore.
After taking off the nail and stomach, I will feel much more comfortable.
Liu Lin laughed loudly and said, "I made you laugh. Come to Xingwen and sit next to me."
Faced with such honor and favor from the Protector Liu Lin, Jia Xingwen felt a little flattered for a moment.
He did not expect that the Grand Protector would be so kind to him.
This is simply the ultimate favor.
"Subordinate, I don't dare to do this."
"What do you think you should do? You are a grown man, don't be so mother-in-law."
Liu Lin was dumbfounded by Jia Xingwen's coyness. He had a sheepish look on his face and was slightly angry. Jia Xingwen was so frightened that he immediately sat down next to him.
"Well, that's right."
Liu Lin tapped his fingers repeatedly and said leisurely: "Xingwen, actually I came to you this time to tell you something."
"Please tell me, Protector-General, I will go through fire and water for Protector-General without any hesitation."
Seeing that Liu Lin valued him so much, Jia Xingwen quickly clasped his fists to show his loyalty.
"Hey, don't go through fire and water. I don't need you to go through fire and water."
After a pause, Liu Lin said leisurely: "Do you know why there were four towns in Anxi in the first place?"
"Back to the Protectorate, the four towns established in Anxi were to protect the Protectorate and also to deter foreigners."
Liu Lin nodded and said: "That's right. Anxi or the Western Region is vast. The territory is too big to be managed by the Governor's Office alone. As you have analyzed before, some of the small countries here are close to the big ones.
Some of them are from the Zhou Dynasty, and some are repelling the Great Zhou Dynasty. No matter what they think in their hearts, in the eyes of this general and the court, more vassal towns need to be set up to have reasonable jurisdiction and deter all countries.
effect."
Liu Lin suddenly said this to Jia Xingwen so solemnly, which made Jia Xingwen confused for a while.
What does Protector Dadu mean by this?
"The Protector..."
"Hey, you should listen to me first."
Liu Lin didn't seem to be in a hurry. He spoke in an unhurried manner: "Each of the four towns in Anxi is usually stationed with ten thousand to twenty thousand people. These troops may not look like many, but they are the regular troops of Anxi.
About 20% of the total.”
Liu Lin's eyes seemed to shine with golden light.
"So, what I, the general, mean is, are you willing to take charge of one of the four towns?"
Boom!
When Jia Xingwen heard this, he felt like his brain was going crazy.
He couldn't believe his ears.
is this real?
Does it mean that Liu Lin, the Great Protector of Anxi, wants him to serve as the guardian of one of the four towns?
Liu Lin felt it was a bit incredible.
"Daduhu, this is impossible, right?"
"What can't you do? I just want to ask you, are you willing?"
Liu Lin seemed to have had a plan for a long time, so his attitude was relatively firm, as if he would immediately give the order as long as Jia Xingwen agreed.
"Well, Protector General, I think this is indeed a bit too sudden."
"You mean you don't want to anymore?"
"My subordinates have limited abilities, and I hope to be able to always be by the Protector's side and help him solve mundane matters."
Jia Xingwen's mind was racing rapidly.
To be honest, this is a godsend opportunity for the two of them.
If he can catch it, it can be said that he can get a huge improvement.
But if he fails to catch it, he may have to maintain his current status for quite some time.
So what on earth should he do?
Jia Xingwen had two ideas in his mind, but in the end the rational side prevailed.
Becoming a town's garrison is impressive, but can he hold it down with his current qualifications?
If it cannot be suppressed, the threat it will face will be unimaginably great.
After all, he has just joined the Anxi Army and has not yet made any achievements. He is in a high position just because of the recognition of the Imperial Guard Liu Lin, which will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of his colleagues.
Jia Xingwen didn't want to become a problem when he first arrived, nor did he want the situation to get out of control because of some trivial matters.
Therefore, he finally chose to stay with Liu Lin and serve as a counselor and staff instead of jumping out alone to act as a general.
Furthermore, Jia Xingwen knew that he was not the material to lead the army.
If you ask him to fight alone, he may be able to do it, but if you ask him to lead an army to fight, it is really difficult for him.
It is important for people to be self-aware and never do things beyond their capabilities, otherwise they are likely to end up with a result that cannot be ended.
Jia Xingwen extremely hoped that Liu Lin could understand his difficulties and stop forcing him.
Liu Lin's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
He really didn't expect that Jia Xingwen would reject him.
In Liu Lin's opinion, he provided Jia Xingwen with an extremely good opportunity. As long as Jia Xingwen performed a little better according to the opportunity he provided, he would be able to gain a firm foothold in the Anxi Army and even rise to prominence from then on.
What a wonderful thing this is.
But Jia Xingwen didn't seem to have the intention to do this.
This person is really pedantic.
However, Liu Lin quickly changed his attitude.
Because when bad coach Feng Hao recommended Jia Xingwen to Liu Lin, he made his advantages and disadvantages very clear.
Jia Xingwen’s strengths are that he is honest, serious, down-to-earth and hard-working.
Jia Xingwen's shortcoming is that he is too accepting of death and too rigid and pedantic.
Therefore, since Liu Lin chose to use Jia Xingwen, he should accept his shortcomings while accepting his advantages.
"Okay, since that's what you think in your heart, I won't force you."
Liu Lin laughed loudly and said: "Now that the matter is over, you can stay with me and be a counselor."
"Thank you, Protector."
Seeing that Liu Lin finally relaxed, Jia Xingwen also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was just thinking whether his answer was too direct, which made Liu Lin feel uncomfortable.
But now it seems that Liu Lin didn't think too much.
It seems that he is overthinking.
That's all, from now on he will inevitably have opportunities to show off when he is around Da Duhu, but from now on he will inevitably have to talk more than he thinks.
...
...
Zhongnan Mountain, Haoran Academy.
Library.
After taking Wangcai for a walk through the academy and admiring the beautiful natural beauty, Zhao Xun took the little fat man to the library.
The Library Pavilion can be said to be the most spiritual and cultural place in the entire Haoran Academy.
In terms of scale, the delinquent's library is probably much larger than the entire academy's library.
However, when it comes to the comprehensiveness of the collection of books, the library in the academy is no less comprehensive than the library of bad people’s yamen.
Even worse.
Zhao Xun once saw many books rarely seen in this world in the library of the academy.
These collections of books cover various aspects of astronomy and geography.
What's even more amazing is that there are also books about the continent of Erenlohr, which is parallel to this world.
It was from these books that Zhao Xun learned a lot about the continent of Ellen Lore.
This point is crucial.
Because if it weren't for this knowledge, it would be impossible for Zhao Xun to have such a comprehensive grasp of the history and knowledge of the major tribes in Ellen Lore.
Simply relying on communication with these tribes is definitely unreliable.
Not to mention whether these tribes will tell the truth to Zhao Xun, even if they tell the truth, they will definitely have reservations.
Therefore, Zhao Xun must supplement his knowledge in this area after coming down.
Only by doing this can you avoid being deceived or played with.
The reason why Zhao Xun came to the Library this time was because he wanted to learn more about orcs.
As we all know, the Orcs are a very powerful tribe, but as the human prince Harry Postman said, the Orcs were a tribe that was once so evil that other tribes united to ban it.
For a long time, the half-orc tribe was like a rat crossing the street and everyone yelled and beat it up in the continent of Ellen Lore.
Zhao Xun knew that he couldn't just believe one-sided words, so what he could do now was to read as many books as possible to see if he could see some history about the orcs from the books.
As for the little fat man Wangcai, he was reading books that interested him.
After all, the library in the academy is small but well-equipped.
Basically, there are books in various categories and categories.
Zhao Xun glanced at it while flipping through the classics, and found out that the books Wangcai was reading were "How to Become a Rich Businessman", "How to Become a Successful Shopkeeper", "How to Become the Most Successful Official Businessman"
All kinds.
For a moment, Zhao Xun felt dumbfounded.
Wang Cai, Wang Cai, he really has never let Zhao Xun down.
The advantage of Wangcai is that he can always bring surprises to people.
Even if he is faced with an almost impossible task, he can turn it into something magical.
In the past, Zhao Xun always thought it was because of his good luck in making money.
But now that I think about it, maybe that's not the case. Maybe it's really because Wangcai is able to work very hard to collect all kinds of information, and he can organize and digest the information in a timely manner, so that it becomes completely his own.
Of course this takes time. Zhao Xun knows this very well.
But he also knows very well that if a person wants to achieve long-term success, he needs to be persistent enough.
Wangcai obviously performs really well in this regard.
All success does not come in vain, but comes after countless hardships and countless efforts.
Zhao Xun gained a deeper understanding of Wangcai through a detail, and gained a deeper understanding of many things about Wangcai.
This is really gratifying.
"Brother Mingyun, Brother Mingyun!"
When Zhao Xun was in a daze, Wangcai called him urgently.
"Um?"
Zhao Xun quickly got closer to see what Wangcai was up to.
"Look, isn't this the book you've been looking for?"
Zhao Xun took a closer look and found that the name of the book was very conspicuous, it was called "A Comprehensive Examination of the History of Orcs".
Good guy, this is really a professional book introducing the history of orcs.
Just by looking at the title and size of the book, Zhao Xun can roughly make this judgment.
Therefore, prosperity is really a lucky star.
There is no objection to the fact that wherever there is wealth, it can always bring surprises to people.
The next thing Zhao Xun has to do is to take out this book and read it carefully.
Although this book is thick enough, it is a solid tome.
But Zhao Xun felt that as long as he read this book, he would not need to read other books.
Prosperous wealth has indeed made a great contribution, at least it saves Zhao Xun the time to browse books in the library, which is like a sea of books.
At this moment, Zhao Xun only made one action, which was to give Wangcai a thumbs up, and then he shouted neatly: "Wangcai, well done."
Then Zhao Xun took the "Comprehensive Examination of the History of Orcs" from Wangcai without hesitation and began to read it seriously.
Zhao Xun is not a hypocritical person, so he does not pay attention to so many so-called rituals when he is studying. The most important thing is to be happy and happy while studying.
There must not be so many human interferences, and more importantly, there must not be so many interruptions.
If you are interrupted many times while reading, it will feel really uncomfortable.
Zhao Xun is not a top academic, but he must hope to have a relatively stable and quiet environment.
Only in this way is it possible to achieve ultimate happiness.
What do you read about?
What you read when you read is a feeling, and what you read when you read is an atmosphere.
Zhao Xun has been able to adjust his condition to the best at this moment, and the next step is to enjoy it to the fullest.
Well, start reading from the first chapter.
...
...
"A long time ago, at the eastern end of the continent of Ellen Lore, there was a rift valley in the endless wasteland. The ancestors of the orcs, the purple-skinned orcs, lived there."
Damn it, Zhao Xun was shocked when he read the first sentence.
He thought to himself that this was simply the beginning of God.
Although it is a book that is biased toward textual research and toward history, this book has a novel-like beginning and beginning.
Just one sentence aroused Zhao Xun's interest in reading, and he couldn't help but start looking forward to what happened next.
So, what on earth is this purple-skinned orc?
How could the purple-skinned orcs be the ancestors of today’s orcs?
As far as Zhao Xun knows, all existing orcs are actually green-skinned, and some are green-skinned.
But I have never seen one with purple skin.
The blood of the half-orcs is not entirely from orcs, but is generally from humans.
But the occurrence of genetic mutations should be rare, right?
Or is there a recessive gene that manifested itself at this time?
It shouldn't be...
All in all, all in all, Zhao Xun was completely interested at this moment.
At this moment, Zhao Xun couldn't wait to see what happened.
"The purple-skinned orcs settled in this wasteland at first. The environment in the wasteland was very harsh. The land here is barren, and it is almost impossible for any plants to grow on the scarlet sandy soil. Except for a few plants such as cacti.
To survive, there is almost no green here. There is very little precipitation in this wasteland. It only rains a few times a year, and the rains are not fixed. So you don’t know when you will be able to survive.
Receive God’s gift.”
Damn it, Zhao Xun was shocked again when he read this.
Good guy, the living environment of these orcs is too harsh, right?
This is something Zhao Xun never expected.
You must know that the entire orc family is actually a very miserable existence. Compared with their neighbors, this is simply not a human life.
It is said that people with practical skills know etiquette, which is not unreasonable.
Their living environment is so difficult, and it is unrealistic to expect polite people to appear in such a living environment.
More importantly...
It seems that the orcs have settled there for quite some time.
Is this okay?
Really doing it...
Zhao Xun continued to read.
"Due to geography, few people set foot in the rift valley in this wasteland. Even if a bard accidentally breaks into the wasteland, he is likely to be devoured by the ferocious beasts in the wasteland."
Zhao Xun was suddenly shocked.
He didn't expect that there were ferocious beasts in the wilderness. This was too terrifying.
This means that the purple-skinned orcs, the ancestors of the orcs, not only had to fight against the sky, but also against the ferocious beasts.
Although orcs are definitely big, thick, and fleshy, Zhao Xun feels that this is still quite a challenge.
After all, no one wants to be born in such a harsh living environment.
If you want to maintain a certain competitiveness under such harsh living conditions, you do have qualities that ordinary people don't have.
Zhao Xun tried hard to calm down his mood and think about all this.
Perhaps half-orcs inherit many of their current traits from their ancestors, the purple-skinned orcs?
In other words, this gene has been inherited.
All in all, everything has a cause and effect. There is no situation that occurs without a reason, and there is no contradiction that occurs without a reason.
God knows what the purple-skinned orcs went through back then, and God knows how much misfortune the purple-skinned orcs endured back then.
Everyone's misfortune has a reason, and everyone's misfortune has a source.
Only by finding this reason and source can we understand why they became what they are today.
After thinking of this, Zhao Xun was full of curiosity to continue reading.
"The purple-skinned orcs have survived in such a difficult environment for hundreds of years, until a giant creature invaded. This giant creature looks a bit like a rhinoceros, but its tongue is like a snake or lizard. They will actively hunt for food in front of them.
All living creatures. Purple-skinned orcs are one of their prey..."
When he read this, Zhao Xun felt his scalp numb for a while.
This is too scary.
This half-rhinoceros, half-snake, half-lizard guy’s main prey is purple-skinned orcs?
But if you think about it carefully, it’s actually understandable.
After all, this red wasteland is too desolate, and basically no large creatures survive except the purple-skinned orcs.
In this case, if this monster wants to survive, it seems that the only targets it can prey on are purple-skinned orcs.
That purple-skinned orc is really miserable.
I finally managed to survive in such an inhospitable place, but I had to face an extremely embarrassing situation - a fight with a monster.
Monsters are called monsters because they have characteristics that ordinary people do not have.
We cannot use common sense to think about them, but we must think about them in a completely different way.
At least from the current point of view, the destructive power of monsters is still quite powerful, otherwise I would not have seen a special description of them in this "A Comprehensive Study of the History of Orcs".
At this moment, Zhao Xun really wanted to find out what happened next, so he couldn't wait to read it word by word.
Zhao Xun has not read a book so seriously for a long time.
But he felt that this "A Comprehensive Study of the History of Orcs" was worthy of his serious reading.
"In order to survive, Enkaku, the chief of the purple-skinned orcs, decided to gather the strength of the entire clan to launch a life-and-death showdown with the monsters. Under his call, nearly ten thousand purple-skinned orcs gathered together. They usually organized themselves into clans and tribes.
They gather together to live together, but the population of each clan tribe will not exceed a thousand people. Being able to gather nearly ten thousand people at the same time, the purple-skinned orcs know that this is a battle they must win no matter what..."
Oh my god, this is exactly how a novel should be written. Stop at a critical moment, and then brew up some emotions to whet the reader's appetite.
Good guy, I didn't expect that the author of this "A Comprehensive Study of the History of Orcs" also knows this very well. It's necessary to break the chapter, it's necessary.
"Later, after sacrificing nearly half of the clan, the purple-skinned orcs finally won the battle for the destiny of the entire clan. They were extremely lucky, because after realizing that the purple-skinned orcs were not easy to chew,
After removing the bones, the monster exited the wasteland."
After turning the page, Zhao Xun read what he wanted to see.
I have to say that this is indeed quite dramatic.
It is no exaggeration to say that this period of history is a novel.
Under such circumstances, the purple-skinned orc still has a considerable degree of resilience. If it were Zhao Xun, he didn't know whether he could withstand such pressure.
Let’s look further back.
Zhao Xun now actually had a sense of anticipation that he only felt when he was catching up on novels.
All I can say is that the history of this purple-skinned orc is really exciting.
"Shortly after the monsters exited the red wasteland and exited the rift valley where the purple-skinned orcs had lived for generations, the trolls appeared on the edge of their territory."
Damn it, this is really a wave of ups and downs.
Zhao Xun cried out in his heart: "Fuck!"
Troll?
If Zhao Xun is not mistaken, the trolls should be close relatives of the orcs, right?
In this case, something should actually happen between the troll and the purple-skinned orc?
Damn it, the plot is really getting more and more bloody.
Zhao Xun didn’t know what to say for a while!
That’s it, keep reading.
"Later, the purple-skinned orcs and the trolls had some disputes. But the disputes were not that big, they were all minor and minor. They didn't know each other until they started fighting, and they quickly resolved the so-called conflicts and started living together."
By the time he read this, Zhao Xun was probably able to put the plot together.
If the initial dispute between the purple-skinned orcs and the trolls was an indispensable part, it would be natural for them to live together because of their conflicts and settle down together.
Because these two tribes are relatively barbaric existences, they both believe in fists and absolute power. Therefore, it is only appropriate to have a feeling of sympathy when facing such a powerful opponent.
"Trolls and purple-skinned orcs lived and multiplied together. Some of them mixed blood, and this gave rise to the ancestors of the orcs."
Wait for the ancestor orcs...
When Zhao Xun saw this, he felt as if he had been pricked by a needle.
He had never seen the so-called concept of the ancestor half-orc before.
Aren't they half-orcs who are a direct mixture of humans and orcs?
But looking at the records in this book "A Comprehensive Examination of the History of Orcs", it should be that the purple-skinned orcs first mixed with the trolls, and then the ancestors of the orcs were produced, and then the ancestors of the orcs mixed with humans? Only then did the current orcs come into existence.
?
Let me rub it in, this is too messy.
Zhao Xun just wanted to exclaim that your circle was really in chaos. The chaotic situation was simply unimaginable to Zhao Xun.
but...
Just keep reading.
In order to find out whether the orcs might be moles, Zhao Xun still had to endure this bloody plot and continue watching.
We should be able to find out soon, right?
"Some of the ancestral orcs were not satisfied with the barbaric settlement where they lived and decided to move westward. They then began to advance westward on a large scale. After encountering the human race, they had a big conflict. This conflict lasted for a long time.
For a long time, the conflict had a great impact on the lives of both parties. Later, in order to mediate the conflict, some human women were sent to the camp of the ancestor orcs..."
After seeing this, Zhao Xun understood everything.
It turns out that this is how today's orcs came to be.
They are neither the descendants of the purple-skinned orcs nor the descendants of the ancestor half-orcs, but the descendants of the ancestor half-orcs and the ancient human race.
There are really a lot of mixed-race people here...
For a moment, Zhao Xun didn't know what to say.
But judging from the current situation, everything seems to be within the expected range.
"So the current half-orcs are really of three blood lines: humans, orcs, and trolls. Because of those disgraceful pasts, the humans do not accept half-orcs. But the relationship between trolls and half-orcs seems to be very good."
Zhao Xun felt that this relationship was indeed a bit messy, but he could still figure out the basic relationship.
"Alas, it seems that the human race also has reservations. Prince Harry Botsman did not tell the truth to me completely."
This is precisely what Zhao Xun is most worried about.
If every tribe has reservations, then Zhao Xun really doesn't know who to trust.
Each tribe has its own core interests, so it is understandable that they have reservations in certain aspects.
But the problem is that if everyone does this, trust will completely disappear.
As the leader of this alliance, Zhao Xun, who should he trust?
If Zhao Xun doesn't have anyone he can trust, what's the point of his existence as a leader?
This is simply a frustrating question.
Zhao Xun knew that this problem might not be solved in a short time.
At present, it seems that the Academy Alliance is still in quite a crisis.
They came together because of their interests and formed this loose alliance. Naturally, they may fall apart because of their interests.
This is a normal thing. Even if Zhao Xun doesn't want to believe it or admit it, he has to accept the possibility of this happening.
"Well, life is really full of countless variables. I originally thought that everyone got along well, but now it seems that everyone is wary of each other and even has their own agenda."
After realizing this, Zhao Xun's mood was still very low.
But he knew he couldn't just sink.
The more times this happens, the more he, the leader of the academy alliance, must show off his momentum and energy.
He must display the qualities of a strongman and bring everyone together as much as possible.
Even if they each have their own thoughts, if they can come together temporarily, it will be a good thing for the entire alliance.
What I'm afraid of is that we won't even be able to unite on the surface. If we really get to that point, I'm afraid that the Academy Alliance is really not far away from falling apart.
"How's it going? Brother Mingyun, how do you feel?"
"Well..."
Realizing that Wang Cai was calling him from the side, Zhao Xun took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "I managed to finish reading it. However, the situation is quite different from what I expected."
Zhao Xun skipped and picked up to read, only looking at the key nodes and the core paragraphs he wanted to see.
If you read such a large book word for word, it would take less than ten days and a half to finish it.
And even if you really read it once, it's not enough. You can only read it briefly, and you need to go back and watch it many times.
But Zhao Xun obviously didn't have that long.
He could only read a small part as concisely as possible.
"So, brother Mingyun, do you want to continue to stay here?"
"No, no, no, that's it for today. If I continue reading, my head will explode."
Although the books in the library are comprehensive and Zhao Xun got what he wanted, what Zhao Xun needs more at this moment is rest. Only after getting enough rest time can he read as much as possible
Useful books.
...
...
When he returned to the bamboo forest, he saw his third senior brother Long Qingquan practicing his sword, and Zhao Xun stepped forward to observe for no apparent reason.
Although the third senior brother has proved more than once that Zhao Xun has no talent for sword practice, Zhao Xun just feels unwilling to do so.
His sword skills are becoming more and more proficient, but unfortunately his sword skills are never as handsome as his sword skills.
People who use knives always give people the impression of being rude and stupid.
Those who use swords often get the reputation of being a swordsman or a swordsman.
It sounds like it's completely different from the previous level, and Zhao Xun can't help but be envious of it.
But the third senior brother Long Qingquan obviously didn't notice Zhao Xun's arrival and was still dancing the sword selflessly.
Practicing swordsmanship requires one to be able to fully integrate into the environment.
The better the integration, the better the overall condition will be.
Long Qingquan obviously understood this truth very well, so he never looked back from the beginning to the end.
It wasn't until he finished practicing a whole set of sword techniques that Long Qingquan turned around subconsciously.
Seeing Zhao Xun not far away, Long Qingquan smiled and said, "Junior brother, why are you here? You always say that I walk without sound, like a ghost. Now, don't you do the same?"
"Well..."
Zhao Xun couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
There is nothing wrong with what Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan said.
At this moment, Zhao Xun is indeed in good condition.
but...
"Third Senior Brother, your swordsmanship seems to be different from the previous ones. Is this another improvement?"
"Hey, little junior brother, how did you see this?"
Long Qingquan was very surprised and said: "My swordsmanship has only been slightly adjusted, and ordinary people will never be able to see it."
"Haha, probably because I always watch you practice swordsmanship. Every detail of your swordsmanship has been engraved in my mind, so I can basically remember it. You changed some details and they are not consistent with the original ones. I
Naturally you will know."
Zhao Xun was very candid and simply spread his hands to explain the situation.
"Well, that's right."
Long Qingquan said with a faint smile: "Yes, I changed a few small movements so that the whole set of swordsmanship will look sharper. But in fact, the actual combat effect has not changed much."
Zhao Xun thought to himself that this was just for good looks. For a moment, Zhao Xun didn't know what to say.
It can only be said that the third senior brother Long Qingquan is still a ruthless person and can achieve such a sense of ritual.
Zhao Xun watched as Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan took a clean handkerchief prepared in advance and wiped his sweat.
In fact, Zhao Xun felt that the third senior brother's action was just a symbolic expression of elegance. Because the third senior brother Long Qingquan actually didn't sweat much at all.
At this moment, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan just wanted to show his sense of ritual as much as possible.
After Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan finished wiping his sweat, he took the initiative and said: "Oh, Junior Brother, the person next to you is... oh oh oh, I remembered, it's Wangcai, right?"
This is not the first time Wangcai has come to the academy, but the last time he came, Wangcai did not stay in the academy for too long, so that the third senior brother Long Qingquan actually forgot about Wangcai.
Zhao Xun felt a little dumbfounded for a moment.
"Yes, it means making money."
In order to prevent the situation from becoming embarrassing, Zhao Xun jumped out to smooth things over.
Wangcai stared at Zhao Xun gratefully, his eyes already starting to spin.
"It's not easy, it's really not easy..."
"Haha, just come. Just come. You are the brother of my junior brother, and you are also the brother of my Long Qingquan. To tell you the truth, the academy is our territory. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me, I
I will definitely give him some color to see."
At this time, Long Qingquan began to resume his lofty ambitions as a college eldest brother, patting his chest and showing off his muscles to Wangcai.
Zhao Xun thought to himself, "It's alright. Who doesn't know that Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan is the boss of this nest?"
If you really encounter a top-level foreign enemy, your three-legged cat skills may really not be enough.
Not to mention the mountain chief, the cultivation strength of the senior sister and the second senior sister should be able to steadily surpass yours, right?
Of course, Zhao Xun definitely couldn't say these words directly. At most, he could only curse in his heart.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan obviously understood, so he didn't say much.
"Well, little junior brother, where did you go just now?"
Although he hadn't seen Zhao Xun for just half a day, Long Qingquan felt a little uncomfortable and asked.
"Well, I went to the library to look up some information."
"Oh, Junior Brother, you turned out to be at the Library. What did I say? By the way, why did you go to the Library all of a sudden?"
"Uh this..."
Zhao Xun couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't I get called by the human prince Harry Postman in the morning? He went around and around just to complain to me, asking me to be more careful about the orcs, saying they were traitors.
He told me a lot about the history of orcs, of course, most of it was dark history. I definitely couldn't believe one side of the story. So I wanted to return to the academy quickly and go to the library to read the relevant books.
Let’s see if we can find some useful books and provide some supporting evidence.”
"Oh, it turns out that's the case, so did you finally find it?"
"Um..."
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "I really found it. That book is a textual research book on the origin of orcs. It can be said to be quite professional. It is produced by the academy and must be a high-quality product. After reading it, I was surprised
It’s a deeper understanding of the orc tribe.”
Zhao Xun then explained in detail some of the key points when he read this book to his third senior brother Long Qingquan.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan was also surprised after hearing this.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that a mere orc tribe would have such a history..."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan made such a sentiment, which was also the sentiment that Zhao Xun once had.
There is no way, people will always bring subjective thoughts into some thoughts and ignore some details that have appeared before.
If he did not cite scriptures for restoration, I am afraid that even Zhao Xun would not be able to achieve an absolutely detailed understanding.
But after some painstaking pursuit, Zhao Xun now at least understands the past of the orcs. This will help analyze some of the current behaviors of the orcs.
"So, junior brother, do you think orcs can be traitors?"
Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but I think at least half-orcs will not jump out and stab them openly. This is not in line with their character. You said they are barbaric and not fully civilized, or rude.
I can understand or believe it. But you said that they are some insidious villains who hide in the dark and stab people in the back. I can't understand it. I think this is someone deliberately stabbing them in the back.
Knife. Its purpose is to pour dirty water on the orcs. I think this is not a good behavior, and it can easily make the situation completely out of control. Since everyone has come together to form an alliance, they must hope that everything will turn out well.
If we cannot do this and criticize each other, problems will arise sooner or later. I am afraid this is the situation that the Corruptors most want to see."
"Um..."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan nodded and said: "Junior brother, you are thinking exactly the same as me. I also think this situation is the best at present. Those who destroy balance and unity should be punished.
By the way, you said it was the human prince Harry Postman who told you bad things about orcs?"
"Um..."
Zhao Xun nodded.
"I have seen this Harry Postman several times before, and I feel like he is just a coward."
Long Qingquan held his chin with one hand and said: "Anyway, my impression of him is not very good. It depends on you. I don't think this matter should be dealt with openly in any case. This may make the situation worse.
As for the inability to end the situation, the best way is to mediate privately while stabilizing the situation from the beginning. You can't make them completely reconcile, but at least you can't let them have any problems on the surface.
There was a fight.”
Zhao Xun naturally listened to Long Qingquan's analysis very seriously.
After all, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan is quite good at analyzing human nature.
What Zhao Xun can do now is to reach his limit as much as possible, and then it will be up to him to see how other tribes perform.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's time for dinner now. Junior brother, you are here. Let's go cook quickly."
As soon as Wangcai heard about cooking, his mouth started to water.
"Yes, yes, brother Mingyun, go and cook. I heard that your cooking skills have improved recently. I finally came here, and this time I have to taste the delicious food you cook."
"Well..."
Zhao Xun didn't know what to say for a while.
Wangcai, Wangcai, you are really a real foodie.
That's all, it's already here, but you don't need more mouths. It's just a matter of adding one more bowl and one pair of tachyons.
...
...
"So, little junior brother, what are you going to do this time?"
Long Qingquan was already gearing up, while Wang Cai beside him was in a state of excitement.
Zhao Xun seemed a little helpless when faced with these two living treasures.
"Hey, let's make braised beans and noodles today."
For Zhao Xun, the most difficult thing every day is to choose what to do. This is really an extremely difficult thing.
After thinking about it, there will always be times when my thinking is exhausted.
I can't think of anything to eat that is the most painful thing in the world.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan would not have such troubles.
Anyway, Zhao Xun decides what he eats every day. All he needs to do is help Zhao Xun cook.
Helping in the kitchen is actually very easy to understand.
It's just a strike.
He would do whatever Zhao Xun asked him to do. Wouldn't it be nice for him to be a perfect tool?
As for making money...
There is only one function left to eat.
He didn't have to think about anything else.
As long as Zhao Xun is here, Wangcai can eat with all his heart and eat freely.
In Zhao Xun's words, Wangcai's current body shape is already like this anyway, so there is no need to control his body shape anymore.
This somewhat smells like a broken jar, and ordinary people might feel angry after listening to it.
But prosperity will not.
Wangcai is a person who knows how to enjoy life.
So even when facing extremely harsh conditions, he will comfort himself.
What's more, if you just eat more and gain a few more pounds, what does it matter?
"Okay, okay, the braised beans and noodles are delicious. I had it with Brother Mingyun once before, and the taste was really amazing."
This time Wangcai spoke before his third senior brother Long Qingquan, which made Zhao Xun slightly surprised.
"Well, like this, haha, then I'm in for a treat."
Long Qingquan is still looking forward to the braised beans and noodles, so as long as he has the opportunity, he will try his best.
Generally speaking, the food cooked by my junior brother is of a high standard and will not be any worse.
"It's still the same. Junior brother, if you want any help, just ask. I am your strongest support."
"Well..."
Zhao Xun thought, okay, is there anything else I can help with?
"Third Senior Brother, if you have time, you might as well help me pick the beans and cut the potatoes."
Originally, this dish was very simple to make, and it really didn’t require a lot of effort.
Zhao Xun thought that Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan was really a talent, so let him fulfill his duties as a tool man.
"Okay, wrap my body with beans and potatoes."
"Well, just eating braised noodles would be a bit too monotonous, so I'd better shoot a cucumber."
Patting cucumbers is Zhao Xun’s specialty, so it’s just right to serve it at this time.
...
...
When cooking, you need to pay attention to the right time, place, and people. Every detail must be in place, otherwise the taste of the dishes may be different.
Zhao Xun attaches great importance to this, so he will strive to achieve the ultimate in grasping every detail.
At first glance, this may seem a bit artificial, but Zhao Xun knew that this operation was meaningful.
If he doesn't make it, if he doesn't ensure the ultimate feeling, it will make people feel that there is something missing from this dish.
As always, Wangcai acted as a spectator.
So much so that Zhao Xun was thinking, if the little fat man really decided to stay in the academy in the future, Zhao Xun should develop some other abilities for him.
For example, making drinks?
We can't just let him idle here, right?
This is not a good idea.
The little fat man probably likes to drink drinks, which proves that he has a considerable degree of curiosity about drinks.
As long as you are curious, many things will be easy to handle. If you are afraid of making money, you will reject them all at once.
If this is the case, I am afraid that even a few cows will not be able to bring back the wealth.
This little fat man's temper was not ordinary. Zhao Xun was mentally prepared for this.
"Wangcai, you like drinking milk tea, right?"
Zhao Xun thought to himself that he must ask whether there is a hookup or not, and he must not act too deliberately. If he acts too deliberately, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
The little fat man is very clever in making money. Basically, he will find out if he makes even the slightest mistake.
"Well, yes, I like drinking milk tea the most. You know this."
"Then do you want to learn to make milk tea? If you learn how to do it, you can make it yourself anytime and anywhere, and you don't have to beg others."
Zhao Xun asked tentatively.
When Wangcai heard this, he immediately became interested.
"That's great. If I can make milk tea anytime and anywhere, it would definitely be a great joy for me."
Wangcai hadn't noticed the hole Zhao Xun had dug for him yet, and said happily.
Zhao Xun thought to himself, Haha, the fat man seems to have fallen into a trap.
OK, OK.
As long as Wangcai is in a trap, Zhao Xun doesn't have to be afraid.
"Well, I'll teach you how to make milk tea later. You have to learn hard. How about we start with the simplest pearl milk tea?"
"Well, okay, pearl milk tea is good. My favorite milk tea is simple pearl milk tea. The taste is simply amazing."
When Wangcai recalled the taste of pearl milk tea, he was very yearning for it.
"Delicious pearls paired with mellow milk tea are simply a masterpiece. No one can understand how happy it is to enjoy such delicious food. Even just one sip can still make people feel relaxed and happy."
At this moment, seeing that the little fat man had completely fallen into the trap, Zhao Xun planned to add more fire to make him completely unable to extricate himself.
From now on, the drinks for the brothers and sisters in the academy will be available.
As long as Zhao Xun can cultivate Wangcai, his pressure will be much lower in the future.
"La la la la, this cucumber is ready. Come and try it."
While talking, Zhao Xun had already prepared a cold dish.
The taste of the cucumber was quite good. Zhao Xun and Wangcai took a bite one after another and showed expressions of enjoyment for a while.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan, who had always remained reserved, could no longer hold back at this moment.
Originally, he wanted to put on a show and remain reserved.
But looking at Junior Brother and Wangcai like this, how can they endure this?
This is simply too fragrant.
Third senior fellow apprentice Long Qingquan picked up Kuai Zi and picked up a cucumber strip, tasting it with great flavor.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it is indeed my favorite cold dish. It tastes really amazing. Junior brother, this dish of yours can be kept as a reserved item in the future."
"Uh, really?"
Facing the praise from his third senior brother Long Qingquan, Zhao Xun felt a little arrogant for a moment.
Is this cucumber really so delicious?
Third Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, please don’t lie to me, I may really believe it.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. All the side dishes needed for braised noodles are ready, can you start?"
Long Qingquan pointed to the surrounding area, and Zhao Xun instantly noticed the potatoes and beans needed for the noodles.
I have to say that Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan has done quite well in this aspect.
To be able to prepare the side dishes to such an extreme level, only the third senior brother, who is very strict with himself about perfection, can do it.
"Well, we can start cooking the noodles."
Zhao Xun was quite good at preparing the heat for the noodles. When he saw that the heat was almost done, he immediately added potatoes, beans and noodles.
This kind of messy stew is actually very time-saving and labor-saving. You only need to calculate the time and wait for it to come out of the pot.
Of course, Zhao Xun is still a person who attaches great importance to the sense of ritual. After the stewed noodles are made, he will still make some necessary embellishments to ensure that the stewed noodles are delicious and look good.
Only by accomplishing these at the same time can we ensure that the braised noodles produced can be called gold-grade noodles.
The choice of Jinpin, Jinpin braised noodles, requires everyone's efforts.
...
...
After all the ingredients are ready and put into the pot, the next thing to do is to wait.
It takes at least half an hour to simmer the noodles to develop the flavor.
If the time is too short, the flavor of the braised noodles will be greatly reduced.
So Zhao Xun will strictly control the time.
Taking advantage of this time gap, Zhao Xun decided to start teaching Wangcai how to make milk tea.
In order to prevent Wangcai from the embarrassing situation of being popular for three minutes.
Wangcai was in an exciting stage now, so when he saw Zhao Xun starting to play with the ingredients of the milk tea, he took the initiative to come over.
"Brother Mingyun, are you ready to start making bubble milk tea?"
"Yes, I'm going to start making bubble milk tea. You have to watch it carefully and study hard. You will be the main force from now on."
"Uh-huh..."
Wangcai's eyes were shining with golden light, not to mention how excited he was.
I have to say that Zhao Xun has indeed found Wangcai's focus.
At this moment, Wangcai was really looking forward to making milk tea.
Meet the right person at the right time.
At this moment, Zhao Xun's performance was perfect.
"First of all, the milk tea must be prepared according to the formula. You must not change the formula without authorization. Although it is essential to introduce the new from the old, I have no confidence in your selection."
Zhao Xun must tell the truth at this time.
Although telling the truth may hurt others, it can also help Wangcai correctly understand his own problems.
If Zhao Xun didn't tell the truth at this time and let Wangcai choose the milk tea formula, it is very likely that the final cup of pearl milk tea would turn into a dark drink.
Zhao Xun does not want his reputation to be ruined in one day. Therefore, it is quite necessary to preach and restrict wealth.
"Okay, brother Mingyun. Don't worry, I won't change the formula without authorization. I will follow your formula. I will do whatever you tell me to do."
Facing Wangcai's sudden cute face, Zhao Xun nodded with satisfaction.
Yes, that's good.
"Okay, let's start adding the taro balls."
...
...
The waiting time is very critical, the most important thing is to keep the braised noodles fully flavored.
So much so that Wangcai tried making three cups of pearl milk tea, but the braised noodles were still not all done.
Zhao Xun and others drank all the three cups of milk tea, and everyone was very satisfied and waited for further actions.
"Oh my, I really didn't expect that the milk tea you made by Wangcai would be so delicious. It seems that you are talented in making milk tea."
"Who says it's not the case? Milk tea really depends on one's talent. People with talent and those without talent will taste completely different."
Zhao Xun and his third senior brother Long Qingquan cooperated flawlessly. They immediately started to engage in rainbow fart mode towards Wang Cai. Wang Cai was also photographed by the two of them and was so excited that he had no idea what was going on.
In fact, it was Zhao Xun who had just sent a signal to Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan through his eyes.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan understood this and immediately understood what Zhao Xun meant.
Of course, this signal is very subtle, and the practitioner is not aware of it unless he is wealthy.
"Ah, really?"
Wangcai felt a little flattered for a moment. He never thought that he could do so well the first time he made milk tea. This was simply incredible.
"Of course it's true. Why do you think this is happening?"
Zhao Xun said to himself: "This is talent. What is talent? It is the quality you are born with. You were clearly born to make milk tea. This is God's gift of food. If you don't eat it, you will be
The kind that doesn’t work!”
"Well..."
Wangcai was really confused by Zhao Xun's flattery.
He shook his fat head, as if thinking about whether Zhao Xun's words made sense.
Of course, Zhao Xun would not give him too much time to think. Since he was going to launch an offensive, it would naturally be a series of attacks and would not give Wangcai any chance to react.
Because once Wangcai is given a chance to react, he may notice it.
"Well, so, you can't live up to the talent God gave you. You must spend more energy on making milk tea. Although you are very talented, if you can't fully add sweat and hard work, it may be wasted.
of talent.”
Zhao Xun swallowed and said, "I thought I was a master at making milk tea at first, but it wasn't until I drank the taste of the pearl milk tea you just made. Ah, at that moment I realized that milk tea really depends on talent.
Ah. My talent is nothing compared to yours."
In fact, the most important thing about milk tea is the formula. As long as the formula is right, other factors are really not worth mentioning.
But Zhao Xun can't say that, he must emphasize the importance of talent again and again.
Well...
Faced with Zhao Xun's series of attacks, Little Fatty Wangcai was completely defeated and was no match for him.
A veteran like Zhao Xun is quite experienced and knows what to do at what time.
He can accurately grasp Wangcai's psychology, and what he says is naturally what Wangcai likes to hear.
Wangcai naturally felt elated after hearing such words, and Zhao Xun's opportunity came.
"Well, Mingyun, I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to make such delicious milk tea. It's just a pity that Brother Jia is not here. Otherwise, I must let him taste the milk tea I made myself."
"..."
Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment, and there was a slight trance in his spirit.
Wong Cai, Wong Cai, you really care about feelings.
Originally, Zhao Xun was still thinking that Wangcai had forgotten Jia Xingwen, but unexpectedly a cup of milk tea brought back memories of Wangcai and Jia Xingwen.
There must be many beautiful parts in this memory, involving many beautiful memories between Zhao Xun, Wangcai and Jia Xingwen.
That's why Wangcai never forgets Jia Xingwen.
But people have to look forward after all.
Although Zhao Xun also hopes that Jia Xingwen can come back and the three brothers can be together again. But the current situation is that Jia Xingwen has gone to the Western Regions, to Anxi.
It is impossible for Jia Xingwen to come back in a short time.
Mentioning Jia Xingwen again and again at this time will only make people sentimental.
"Brother Jia will definitely have a good life in the Western Regions."
Zhao Xun sighed with emotion: "We have great wealth, we must live a good life, just like Brother Jia."
"I also firmly believe that Brother Jia will be fine in the Western Regions."
"Yeah, definitely."
...
...
After another cup of tea, the braised noodles were finally ready.
Smelling the fragrant smell wafting out of the pot, Zhao Xun's whole soul was about to come out.
After more than half an hour of simmering, the flavor of the stewed noodles was completely released, and all three of them felt a supreme pleasure in an instant.
"Hahaha, we must try it this time and see why this braised noodles tastes so amazing."
"Yes, I never thought that such an ordinary ingredient could produce such a delicious taste. Well, just smelling it makes people feel relaxed and happy."
"Come on, come on. Without further ado, one person will bring you a big bowl. Whoever doesn't finish the meal won't be allowed to leave."
Zhao Xun was quite satisfied with the taste of the braised noodles. After taking a bite, he was sure it tasted like this.
Tsk tsk tsk, this taste is simply amazing.
"Wow, it's really delicious. I think this braised noodles can already be ranked among the top three delicacies."
Long Qingquan's evaluation of braised noodles is simply higher than most of Zhao Xun's previous delicacies, which makes Zhao Xun feel a little unexpected. Because the difficulty of making braised noodles can be said to be the lowest among all delicacies.
.
Long Qingquan’s evaluation is enough to show that this is really a win for taste.
"Quack, quack, fragrant, so fragrant."
After Wangcai tasted it, he couldn't move his mouth away.
At this moment, the three of them were enjoying the absolute deliciousness.
Making noodles may seem simple, but in fact it also tests the skill of the maker.
At least in Zhao Xun's opinion, they didn't make any omissions.
Only in this way can an authentic and delicious pasta be presented.
Of course, enjoyment itself is the most important thing.
So go ahead and eat and enjoy this rare carnival moment.
...
...
After the three of them finished eating a large bowl of braised noodles, they each finished another bowl.
He won't stop until his belly is completely rounded.
Put down the bowl and the three of you quickly go out for a walk.
For them, digestion is the most important thing to do right now.
With my stomach stretched like this, if I don't take a walk to eliminate food, I'm afraid I won't be able to digest it in a short time. It will be troublesome if I get heartburn at night.
"Junior brother, how many delicacies do you still have that you haven't brought out? Just one of them is enough to make us envious. I'm really envious."
"Well, it's actually not that exaggerated. Third Senior Brother, I really just did it casually."
Damn it, he let him pretend again.
This is a true portrayal of Long Qingquan's heart at this moment.
But Zhao Xun just has the ability to show off. Some people obviously want to show off but just don’t have the chance because they are not strong enough.
But junior brother Zhao Xun is different. As Long Qingquan said, junior brother Zhao Xun can always make many delicious dishes unexpectedly.
These dishes are so good in every aspect that there are no shortcomings to speak of.
In this case, everyone will think that the dishes made by Zhao Xun are excellent, and will naturally give them a higher evaluation.
Long Qingquan had to admit that cooking requires talent. Without talent, it is impossible to make mouth-watering and endless aftertaste dishes.
It seems that he still has to learn more from his junior brother Zhao Xun, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
Of course, Long Qingquan would not give up.
Now that he has embarked on the path of learning to cook, he will continue on without hesitation.
Just like Wangcai embarks on the road of making milk tea, shouldn't he have to go on without hesitation?
If you choose this path, there is no possibility of turning back. Otherwise, wouldn’t you be sorry for the sweat he shed?
...
...
Gobi.
In the cave, all the soldiers of the Anxi Army began to camp.
Originally, they just planned to rest here temporarily. But not long after they entered the cave, yellow sand began to fly all over the sky!
The appearance of the sandstorm shocked everyone.
Especially Liu Lin, the protector of the capital.
As the leader of this army, he must be responsible for the lives of all soldiers.
Liu Lin has commanded troops in the Western Region for many years and knows the climate here very well.
He knew exactly what it meant to encounter a sandstorm here.
This is simply the scariest thing.
Especially when a large army encounters a sandstorm, it is simply a sight to behold.
Fortunately, Liu Lin made a timely decision to let the army enter the cave to rest.
If we wait until the sandstorm starts before making this decision, it will be too late.
"Life is really full of all kinds of variables."
Liu Lin was filled with emotion and at the same time he was full of gratitude to Jia Xingwen who suggested him a rest.
Although Jia Xingwen could not predict the situation, his suggestions indirectly helped the Anxi Army avoid the danger of being exposed to sandstorms to a certain extent.
Sometimes Liu Lin even felt that sandstorms were more dangerous than enemy troops.
No one knows how many people can survive after a sandstorm.
Perhaps only a handful of people will survive afterwards.
It seems that Jia Xingwen is really a lucky star.
Although he has not been working with him for a long time, Liu Lin has already personally enjoyed the benefits brought by Jia Xingwen.
The next thing he has to do is to contact Jia Xingwen as much as possible and tap out all the advantages in Jia Xingwen's body.
"Defender, I don't know how long it will take for this sandstorm to end. If this sandstorm doesn't end, we won't be able to safely reach the Anxi Protectorate."
Jia Xingwen looked at the yellow sand in the sky and said worriedly.
"Oh, who says it isn't? But there is nothing we can do about it. These are not things we can decide."
Liu Lin looked at the yellow sand outside the cave, feeling very gloomy.
God is showing off, and no one can do anything but pinch their noses and admit it.
"I hope this yellow sandstorm will end soon. The sooner I arrive in the Western Regions, the sooner I can feel at ease. For some reason, my eyelids have been twitching in the past few days, as if something big is about to happen."
Liu Lin let out a long sigh and said helplessly.
"General Protector, please relax. There are tens of thousands of veterans guarding the Protector's Mansion, so there shouldn't be any big problems."
Seeing that Liu Lin was worried, Jia Xingwen jumped out to give Liu Lin reassurance.
Yes, generally speaking, the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions would not take the initiative to attack a city garrisoned by tens of thousands of people, not to mention that this city is where the Anxi Protectorate is located.
But don't be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the eventuality.
Liu Lin was worried that if a few troublemakers started shouting, something out of control would really happen.
"It's better to arrive as early as possible. If you go late, I'm worried about a long night and lots of dreams."
Liu Lin sighed.
"Well... let's set off as soon as the sandstorm is over."
...
...
"Well, the speed of cooking beans and noodles is very good."
The mountain chief tasted the braised beans and noodles sent by Zhao Xun, nodded slightly and gave it a good review.
"Haha, Chief Shan, if you like to eat, then eat more."
Zhao Xun was filled with joy.
In any case, Zhao Xun is the originator of Taotie in the academy.
Compared with him, even the third senior brother Long Qingquan could only stand aside.
Whether a dish is delicious or not depends on the evaluation of the chef.
Otherwise, it can only be considered a candidate at best.
In this way, after the official announcement from the mountain chief, Zhao Xun had a clue in his heart.
"By the way, I heard that your wife is homesick and has been clamoring to go back to see her?"
"Well..."
Faced with the mountain chief's sudden and unreasonable words, Zhao Xun was a little confused.
"Well, Chief Shan, we haven't gotten married yet..."
"Not married yet? Ahem, young people can really suppress anger. That's all, let's not talk about this anymore."
Shan Chang Youyou said: "It's better not to return to Chang'an City easily during this period. It's precarious, and something big may happen at any time. No one can say what will happen during this period."
Zhao Xun was convinced by what the mountain chief said.
The current situation is really chaotic.
Who knows what big move Emperor Xianlong, the dog emperor, is holding back.
This guy is very evil-minded. Although he hasn't done anything yet, he will definitely do something big if he gets the chance.
"Well, I have temporarily settled Wangcai in the academy. At least I have to wait until I can avoid this wave of limelight."
Zhao Xun paused and said, "I'm not too worried about Chang'an City for the time being. I'm just afraid that there will be civil strife in the Academy Alliance."
"Oh? How can you see it?"
The mountain leader carefully removed the bean thread from between his teeth, and then asked.
"Recently, the prince of the human race, Harry Postman, took the initiative to talk to me about the past of the Orcs. It seemed that he was making a complaint. He felt that the Orcs might become traitors to this alliance."
"Well..."
The mountain chief gently stroked his beard and said, "Well, what do you think about this?"
"The disciple feels that there is a certain problem with the position of the human prince. He is simply starting from his own position, and may even smear the suspicion of the orcs. The disciple has just returned from the library and has seen some information about the history of the orcs.
From the description, it can be clearly seen that the orcs are not as dark as the human prince described them."
"Well, you did a good job. If you listen to one side, you will be dark, and if you listen to both, you will be enlightened. Many times, you can't just believe one side of the story."
The mountain leader paused and said: "Master, I think you might as well handle this matter coldly. Don't rush to get a result and just hang on like that. Didn't the human prince force you to express your position?"
"Yes, that's not the case."
Zhao Xun nodded.
He thought that Shan Chang was really a seasoned person, and every move he made had deep meanings.
It seems like an insignificant action, but it actually hides a lot of things.
If Zhao Xun can learn the essence of how the mountain chief handles things, it will be useful for a long time in the future.
But if he is unable to do this, he may still be taken advantage of.
"Things in this world are never black and white. Everyone has their own position. As a teacher, I can't say whether they are good or bad. The same thing may look completely different to different people.
Feelings, let alone staying objective. Xiao Qizi, you come as my teacher."
Zhao Xun followed the mountain leader respectfully.
I saw the mountain chief placing one hand behind his back and walking slowly towards the inner room.
Zhao Xun has never entered the inner room of Shanchang Bamboo House.
Mainly because he didn't dare to try it without the permission of the mountain chief.
Now, for the first time, the mountain chief brought Zhao Xun into the inner room. Zhao Xun was extremely curious for a moment.
"Xiao Qizhu, do you know what this room is used for?"
"I don't know..."
"This room is used to store breath."
"Storing breath?"
When he heard this, Zhao Xun's eyes widened like a cow, and he couldn't believe it.
"Yes, in the past few decades, countless strong men in the world have come to challenge Weishi. Because in their view, Weishi is the strongest person in the world. As long as they can defeat Weishi, they can step on Weishi and rise to the top, becoming the new
He is the best in the world. But they don’t know that Wei Shi is too lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters in the world. But sometimes they chase too closely and too hastily, which makes Wei Shi upset. They have no choice but to accompany them for a fight.
After each victory for the master, a ray of true energy will be taken from their bodies and put into bottles and stored in this room. You see, these bottles are filled with true energy."
The mountain chief said lightly. Zhao Xun looked along and saw several rows of shelves filled with small bottles. These small bottles were tightly sealed. According to the mountain chief, every bottle in these small bottles
There is energy in everything.
Good guy, this is really surprising to Zhao Xun.
"Shan Zhang, why are you storing these auras..."
Although he knew it was inappropriate for him to ask this question, Zhao Xun still asked it.
Because he was so curious.
"Storing these auras for my master is to remind myself that I must constantly become stronger. Because if my master is not the strongest, my master's aura is likely to be taken away and put into a bottle for others to play with and check at any time."
