Magic world

"What is this?" Shang Xiuxun asked with confusion on his face as he looked at the red oil slick in front of him, as well as the piles of meat slices, cabbage, fungus, and bean sprouts inside.

"Boiled pork slices." Ito Cheng, who sat across from Shang Xiuxun, said with a smile.

This is the delicacy he prepared to eat to accompany his sin!

"I hope I won't eat dead people." Chai Shao glanced at Ito Cheng with a disdainful look and said.

"Brother Shao, don't say that. After all, this is the food that Mr. Chen took great pains to make for Sister Xiuxun. It should be able to make people eat it." Li Xiuning had a smile on his face, seeming to blame but actually expressing his dissatisfaction with the food Ito Cheng made in a tactful way. trust.

"Although I am not good at cooking, in the current world, I am confident that no one can beat me." Ito Cheng said quietly with a confident face.

Although this is a bit crazy, it is still true. It is true that Ito Cheng has been a chef in his previous life and this life, but his cooking skills are not bad after living alone for many years. In addition, his strength has reached this level now, including knife skills, heat, and cooking skills. You can even say that you have a complete grasp of the quality of every piece of material and its changes in the pot, and it is difficult to make a bad product even if you want to! What's more, he also has various condiments in his hands that people of this era don't have. In terms of pure taste, he will definitely defeat the entire Tang Dynasty Shuanglong World. He can only use salt, soy sauce, and at most vinegar. Chefs who come to serve.

"Okay, don't talk anymore. You'll know exactly how it goes after you taste it." Seeing that the two groups were about to quarrel again, Shang Xiuxun said with a slight frown, and then picked up the bowls and chopsticks in front of him. Use chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat from the large porcelain basin, hold it in your pocket and bring it to your mouth. After blowing it twice, you open your mouth and bite it. [

"Me..." Shang Xiuxun frowned as he took a mouthful of meat slices and took a few deep breaths.

"Xiuxun, are you okay?" Li Xiuning quickly asked with concern upon seeing this.

"Okay, it's so strong!" Shang Xiuxun said with slightly fluorescent eyes, "But it tastes good, I like it."

After saying that, he unceremoniously picked up a piece of vegetables from the large porcelain basin and brought it to his mouth to chew.

"The taste of this dish is mainly numb and spicy, and it is the best to appetize with rice, so it is best to eat it with some rice at the end." Ito Cheng smiled and pointed out, "In addition, because there are many spicy things in the condiments of this dish, it is best to eat it It is easy to cause dryness and fire, so you should pay attention to drinking plenty of water appropriately."

"Xiaojuan, go get me some food." Upon hearing this, Shang Xiuxun immediately turned to order the maid waiting beside him.

"I understand, miss." Xiaojuan agreed, turned around and quickly left the room, heading to the kitchen to get rice for Shang Xiuxun.

"Forget it." Shang Xiuxun put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, resisting the urge to continue eating. Looking at Ito Cheng, he said, "But this only refers to what happened before. Regarding the purchase of horses, I still said the same thing. The horses in the ranch will not be sold to the outside world for the next three years..."

"The same goes for you." Then, Shang Xiuxun turned to look at Li Xiuning and added.

"Xiu Xun, you should understand how valuable war horses are to various forces. Your behavior will cause big trouble." Li Xiuning, who frowned slightly, persuaded with a considerate tone for her.

"Then what should I do as you say?" Shang Xiuxun asked with a sneer.

"Forgive me, little sister. It is best to sell all the existing horses in the pasture after leaving enough stallions in order to exchange for peace." Li Xiuning looked into Shang Xiuxun's eyes without blinking and said.

"Selling it to you Li Clan?" Shang Xiuxun continued to sneer.

"My little sister didn't say that." Li Xiuning chuckled and said, "If Xiuxun you are willing to trade with our Li Clan, my little sister will naturally welcome you. If you choose other forces, my little sister won't say much. Everything depends on you, Xiuxun." L."

Li Xiuning knowingly dropped the topic knowing that Shang Xiuxun might be disgusted if he continued talking. Ease the atmosphere between the two parties. [

"Miss, the meal is here." At this moment, with the sound of footsteps, Xiaojuan's figure reappeared in the room, walked quickly to the round table, and placed the rice pail she brought on the round table.

"I'm just disturbing the shopping mall owner from enjoying his delicious food, so I'll take my leave." Seeing Shang Xiuxun's eyes twitching slightly, Ito Cheng stood up and said goodbye with clasped fists.

After saying that, he turned around and walked out with Wei Zhenzhen and Fu Junzhuo.

"Little sister, I'm going to say goodbye first." Upon seeing this, Li Xiuning stood up and said goodbye to Shang Xiuxun, and then left the room with Chai Shao, who also made a fist gesture, and quickly caught up with Ito Cheng and the others who had just walked out not far away.

"Master Chen, please stay." Li Xiuning called out.

"Huh?" Ito Cheng stopped and turned around, looking at Li Xiuning with a puzzled expression.

"Can I take a step to speak?" Li Xiuning said with a charming smile.

"I'm very happy." Ito Cheng smiled, then turned to Wei Zhenzhen and Fu Junzhuo and said, "You two go back first."

"Yes, young master." Wei Zhenzhen and Fu Junzhuo responded in unison.

"Brother Shao, you should go back too." Li Xiuning said to Chai Shao.

"Ning sister, be careful." Chai Shao looked at Ito Cheng beside him and said hesitantly.

"Little sister knows." Li Xiuning smiled, then extended his hand to invite, and under the eyes of Chai Shao with twinkling eyes, he and Ito Cheng walked towards the horse farm in the distance.

"It's not what Xiu Ning wants to talk to me about." After a moment, Ito Cheng shamelessly addressed Li Xiu Ning in a friendly way and asked with a smile.

"I wonder what Mr. Chen thinks of the current situation?" Li Xiuning raised her hand to tuck the hair that was blown on her cheeks by the wind behind her ears. She turned her head slightly and looked at the person next to her who was a year or two younger than his second brother Shimin. Ito Cheng, who is 20 years old and looks more like a scholar than a rough soldier, asked softly.

"I didn't expect Xiuning to care about these things." Ito Cheng looked at Li Xiuning funny and said. Then with Li Xiuning's smile, he continued, "It's a battle between heroes."

"My lord's answer is really perfunctory." Li Xiuning pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Then Xiuning will ask more clearly, what do you think of the current leaders of the various rebel armies?" Then. Li Xiuning asked again.

"I see you want to know not what I think of the other rebel leaders, but what I think of you, the Li Clan, right?" Ito Cheng looked at Li Xiuning with a half-smile.

"That's true. But your views on other forces are also very strange." Li Xiuning smiled.

"Since you want to hear it, then I'll tell you." When he came to the lake where the horses drank in the pasture, he stopped, pointed to the ground, and used earth escape to create two stone benches to invite Li Xiuning to sit down. Ito Cheng said.

Seeing that this was obviously not a martial art, but more like a legendary Taoist and magical method, Li Xiuning's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Ito Cheng up and down with a very strange look.

Ito Cheng smiled slightly and ignored Li Xiuning's observation. He just continued, "In my opinion, whether it is Lin Shihong of Yuzhang, Shen Faxing of Jiangnan, Li Zitong of Jiangdu, Wang Shichong of Luoyang, Zhu Jie of Nanyang, or the now very noisy Wagang of Xingyang, they can only flourish for a while, but they are The person who finally has the chance to win the tripod. After reorganizing the army, Jianghuai Du Fuwei, Baling Xiaoxian, and Hebei Dou Jiande have the appearance of becoming dragons."

"As for the Li clan that you are concerned about, he has enough luck, but what happens next depends on the future."

"Sir, you are like those Taoist priests who have become monks. They say some mysterious and mysterious words that make people confused." Li Xiuning wrinkled her beautiful nose. said dissatisfied.

"But since your lord said that I, Li Tang, am lucky enough, why don't you raise your troops to join me? As a lord, I will surely gain a high position, and I will have the ability to follow the dragon in the future... After all, it is better to give someone a helping hand than to add icing on the cake, isn't it? "?" Then, Li Xiuning looked into Ito Cheng's eyes and said.

"This is probably the purpose of your meeting with me alone this time." Ito Cheng looked back at Li Xiuning and chuckled.

"Yes." Li Xiuning admitted generously, "After all, Chang'an is too close to Taiyuan, and it occupies a prominent position. And I am not afraid to tell you that I, Li Tang, have been planning to seize Chang'an for a long time, and I am afraid that it will not take long for the troops to be launched. Chang'an was captured by force, so it's for the sake of the people of Chang'an. Your Excellency, it's better to think twice."

"Then why don't you, Li Tang, give up your plan to attack Chang'an and vote for me with your whole family?" Ito Idiom asked sarcastically.

"Sir, what do you think you have that is worth seeking refuge for?" Li Xiuning didn't care. But he asked the same question. Then, without waiting for Ito Cheng's answer, he continued, "My family background and my origin are mysterious. The foundation is just because Yang Guang's mind jumped to such a position. Not to mention other people, ordinary people like me can't trust you, sir." .”

"Information, great personal foundation. When he took office, he only brought a woman robbed from a Yangzhou shop and an unknown swordsman. Even his residence was given by Yang Guangkai. It can be said that he took office alone. If he didn't know It’s still unclear what kind of methods your Excellency used to subdue those soldiers. I’m afraid it’s still unclear whether you can control Chang’an to be as carefree as it is now, and how can you make me, the dignified Li family, surrender?”

"His connections, your Excellency has disappeared since he took office, leaving only one family general to take charge of Chang'an. He neither contacted others nor accepted invitations from others. Later, he even turned against the Dugu Clan. It can be said that he made alliances around him and guarded Chang'an alone. , how can you look like you are fighting for hegemony in the world? Even if you really think that with your own strength, the soldiers and people of a city can conquer the world, but it would be too arrogant to not use means such as distant friendship and close attack, alliance, vertical and horizontal alliances, etc. Alright?"

"Finally, the adult himself, you are so mysterious!"

"As expected of a young lady from an aristocratic family, her thinking is far beyond ordinary people." Ito Cheng said with a plain smile, "But so what? If you want Chang'an, just ask your father and brother to send troops. I'll see if your Li clan can break through it. The defense I set up in Chang'an City."

"In addition, I would like to remind you that it is best to leave Pegasus Ranch before I change my mood, otherwise I will use my hands and feet to hold you down." Then, Ito Cheng stood up from the stone bench and walked to the same place as before. Sitting in front of Li Xiuning on the stone bench, he looked down at her beautiful face and spoke softly.

"Sure enough, she is a heroic woman, I am a little moved." Ito Cheng stretched out his hand and gently stroked Li Xiuning's face.

Li Xiuning's face turned red when she felt her cheek being touched, and she quickly ran to the side and looked at Ito Cheng with a look of shame and anger.

"Hahahahaha." Ito Cheng laughed when he saw this. Under the gaze of Li Xiuning, who looked complicated, he turned around and strode towards the Pegasus Ranch residence. Then he activated teleportation in a place where Li Xiuning couldn't see and appeared. In a woman's boudoir.

"It seems that the food I cook is very popular with the owner." Ito Cheng said while looking at Shang Xiuxun, who was lying flat on the bed with his hands on his belly, his lips slightly parted, and his face looking content.

Hearing the sudden sound in his ears, Shang Xiuxun, who had closed his eyes and fell asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. At the same time, he shot out his palms in the direction of the sound.

Upon seeing this, Ito Cheng stretched out one arm, gently placed it on the arm that Shang Xiuxun was attacking, and guided, circled, and pushed it, causing it to hit the other palm of Shang Xiuxun's attack uncontrollably, and then The palms of his hands were turned up to support Shang Xiuxun's colliding arms, and with the help of force, he pulled Shang Xiuxun's body over and stretched out his hands to hug him in his arms.

"Thieves!" Shang Xiuxun yelled angrily after struggling twice but not breaking free.

"Don't say that, otherwise I will definitely do something to you that only a lecher would do." Ito Cheng let go of Shang Xiuxun and said with a chuckle, "In addition, I advise you to do the best Don't do so-called resistance, otherwise I will be rude to you, and even to the entire Pegasus Ranch."

"You threaten me." Shang Xiuxun said with narrowed eyes.

"Just think of him as a threat." Ito Cheng pointed to the ground with one hand, and a wooden chair grew out of the wooden floor for Ito Cheng to sit on.

Shang Xiuxun looked at Ito Chenghe's chair that suddenly appeared under him, snorted coldly, and sat back on the bed honestly.

"Very good." Ito Cheng said with a big smile on his face, "Looking at the fact that you are a beauty and a kind-hearted beauty, I will give you two choices."

"First, I give something, and you lead the entire Pegasus Ranch to join me. As for what I gave, a set of horse-raising techniques, a group of fine horse stallions, and some things that can be said to be like magic, among which The magic can effectively transform horses, turning a bad horse into a good horse, a good horse into a thousand-mile horse, and a thousand-mile horse into a dragon horse!"

"Two, you refuse my proposal to the death, and then I use my spiritual magic to control your spirit, and then use your hands to control Pegasus Ranch. But don't worry, my spiritual magic is very gentle and will only make you Identifying with me and being loyal to me will not change your memories, emotions, or personality, you are still you."

"You only have one chance to choose. After one time, if you change in the middle, then I will not give you any face. I will directly use the harshest means to treat you and everyone in your Pegasus Ranch. Completely become my puppet, I will do what I say." (To be continued...)
