Although Ji Fa looks relatively young, he is actually quite old. He has learned all kinds of etiquette since he was a child and behaves calmly and generously, which makes it easy for people to like him.
After some polite greetings, Ji Fa invited Qi Yuan to his house to talk because it was noisy and not a place for conversation.
After everyone arrived at the palace, the guests and hosts sat down and had a pleasant chat.
When the banquet was served, everyone toasted to each other, and it was very lively.
However, Ji Fa saw that Qi Yuan only tasted the dishes on the table briefly, and then rarely ate them, so he asked: "Sir, is it possible that these foods are not to your liking?"
Qi Yuan said with some embarrassment: "King Wu, forgive me, I have been studying cooking skills all my life, and I have always pursued excellence in food. Except for these snacks, the other ingredients are a bit wasted in this way. Only then some food
Can’t swallow.”
Ji Fa smiled and said, "Sir, you are indeed very discerning. These snacks were made by a chef hired by the palace just last year. He can actually make some delicacies. Gu Ping likes to eat them every day, but most of them are daily food, so they are not put on the table."
banquet."
"oh?"
Qi Yuan became somewhat interested: "Can I invite you to come and meet me?"
"Sir, if you want to meet him, you can."
Ji Fa ordered his servants to find the cook.
After a while, the cook came to see Qi Yuan. After seeing Qi Yuan, he was shocked and asked: "Mr. Qi, why are you here?"
"Huh?"
Qi Yuan was a little surprised when he saw his appearance. He didn't expect that this was the second son of He Yu whom he met at Sanshanguan.
"I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be you!"
Qi Yuan greeted him with a smile.
"Why, sir, do you know the cook in my house?" Ji Fa asked curiously.
"Reporting to King Wu, I learned my craftsmanship from Mr. Qi." He Laoer said respectfully.
"I see, don't you think you are also Mr.'s disciple?"
Ji Fa looked at this person somewhat differently.
"King Wu is promoting a villain. Back then, the villain's family was just casually pointed out by Mr. Qi for a few days. How could he be regarded as a disciple?" He Laoer said he didn't dare.
After this incident, everyone became more curious about Qi Yuan. They did not expect that someone who was just pointed out by Qi Yuan for a few days could actually work in Prince Wu's palace.
After a banquet, everyone dispersed.
As expected by Qi Yuan, King Wu did not mention asking Qi Yuan to serve as an official in Xiqi.
However, Qi Yuan himself did not come here to be an official, so he did not feel disappointed and continued to teach the people who came to learn cooking skills every day.
On weekdays, Huang Feihu often came to his place to eat and drink, just like when he was at Chaoge.
During this period, he also met his eldest son Huang Tianhua, a very heroic young man who was full of vitality.
Relatively speaking, Qi Yuan was more interested in Huang Tianhua's mount.
He has not seen Qilin yet. This legendary beast is also known as an auspicious beast among humans. It is a symbol of auspiciousness. It is said that only virtuous people cannot ride it.
Qi Yuan didn't know whether he was a virtuous person.
Although he is very willing to pass on his cooking skills, and also teaches people everywhere how to find more edible things in the wild, so that people can live a better life as much as possible, all this cannot hide his
Some selfish thoughts of my own.
Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs and died for the people of the world without regrets.
He can't.
He is not that noble, and he is not the kind of person who can sacrifice himself for others.
In fact, he is very afraid of death, so when he sings Chaoge, he will implicitly guide people to establish himself as a sage, just so that he can obtain the divine status when he canonize the gods, not that he really
There will be the character that a wise man should have.
Moreover, even if he is truly a virtuous man, I am afraid he will not have the opportunity or strength to subdue such a powerful mythical beast as Qilin.
Nowadays, the number of unicorns is very rare. They are either in immortal caves or hiding in caves and blessed places. They are rarely seen by ordinary people.
He looked carefully and saw that the jade unicorn had a lion's head and antlers, tiger's eyes and an elk's body, and was covered with scales that were as lustrous as jade. It was not only majestic, but also had unfathomable strength.
However, it was obvious that this unicorn had no interest in him. When he saw Qi Yuan circling it several times and looking at it non-stop, he raised his head somewhat arrogantly and snorted, spraying a stream of white mist from his nose, which almost hit Qi Yuan.
One face.
From its eyes, Qi Yuan could see the disdain. Feeling a little annoyed, he knelt down and took a sneak peek and found that it was a male unicorn.
So I secretly thought about whether to tell Huang Feihu that if Qianqianrou was made from Qilin's treasures, it would not only nourish him, but also completely cure his hidden diseases.
A period of time passed like this, until I heard that Dashang had sent a hundred thousand troops to conquer Xiqi, and that Huang Feihu wanted to help King Wu and Jiang Shang handle military affairs, so he no longer had leisure time and could not come often.
However, when I came here occasionally, I heard him mention that the person leading Dashang's 100,000-strong army this time was Zhang Guifang, the commander-in-chief of Qinglong Pass.
Qi Yuan was quite impressed with Zhang Guifang and knew that this person was not only highly skilled in martial arts and superb in military tactics, but also had the ability to knock down horses by calling him by name. As long as he knew his name and called him, he would immediately be fascinated and fall to the ground.
His presence would probably give Xiqi a headache for a while.
At the very least, before that boy Nezha came, no one in Xiqi could deal with Zhang Guifang.
In fact, this is also the case. Although Qi Yuan never went to the battle to watch the battle due to his status, he heard Huang Feihu mention it because the generals on the Xiqi side did not believe his words and underestimated Zhang Guifang's methods. They first killed Ji Shuqian and then
Later, he was captured alive by General Nangong Shi and Zhou Ji.
Now that Jiang Ziya had no means to deal with Zhang Guifang, he was helpless and had no choice but to play the no-war card.
After losing the first battle, all the generals in the city were dejected.
Just when Jiang Ziya was having a headache about the war in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he suddenly heard that a servant came to report that there was a child outside who asked to see him.
Jiang Ziya was only thinking about how to deal with Zhang Guifang's magical skills, and didn't want to pay attention to other things. However, he hesitated and was led in.
Seeing that the person who came was young and extremely handsome, he bowed as he came in and said, "Greetings, Uncle Master."
Jiang Ziya asked curiously: "Who are you and why do you call me uncle?"
"This disciple is a sect of Zhenren Taiyi of Jinguangdong in Qianyuan Mountain. His surname is Li and his given name is Nezha. Now he has come down from the mountain under the orders of his master and has come to obey his uncle's orders."
It was Nezha who came here. He had long been transformed into a Taoist body by the Lotus Flower incarnation by Master Taiyi. This time, he followed his master's orders and went down the mountain to join Xiqi.
Jiang Ziya was overjoyed when he heard this. He turned out to be a disciple of the same senior brother. It must have been that the senior brother thought that he was in trouble, so he sent his disciples to help him.
Although Nezha's temperament had been wiped away by Taiyi Zhenren and other immortals, he was still restless by nature. After seeing the ceremony, he directly asked: "Uncle Master, when I came just now, you saw someone outside
It’s such a big military camp, who knows who came to attack Xiqi?”
Jiang Ziya sighed: "The marshal of the Great Shang Army is Zhang Guifang, the former Qinglong Pass guard. This man has some strange skills and has defeated me several times in a row, forcing me to put up my no-war card. Now I am worried about this matter."
When Nezha heard this, he was not afraid at all. After experiencing several hardships, although he was not as lawless as before, he was rarely afraid of anyone. How could he take Zhang Guifang in his eyes.
So he said directly: "Uncle, my disciple has come here to seek refuge and has not made any achievements yet. Why don't I use this piece of Guifang to complete my achievements, so as not to be underestimated by others, I, Xiqi."
Jiang Ziya hesitated: "Are you sure that if you are caught, you may be killed?"
"Uncle Master is just holding the battle for me. It's just Zhang Guifang, it's not a big deal."
Seeing that Nezha was full of confidence, Jiang Ziya stopped talking, ordered his troops and horses, and went out of the city to invite a battle.
