Chapter 423 The most complicated part is the human heart
Lin Ye was looked down upon by a group of female generals during the day, and everyone's eyes clearly showed contempt.
But when they had dinner, this contempt disappeared without a trace.
Just one meal changed their view of a man.
It's just stewed meat, which doesn't sound like a complicated dish.
But Lin Ye's stewed meat is really fragrant. The most important thing is that Lin Ye doesn't use so many ingredients when cooking.
Like most chefs, they don’t run the meat through water to remove the blood foam before stewing it.
The first is that he feels it is unnecessary, and the second is that he is too lazy to add another process.
Wild boar itself has a bit of sourness and fishy smell, but he didn't know how to deal with it, and the wild smell was completely removed.
It has not been soaked in water, the blood foam has not been removed, and there is no fishy or sour smell, so it has shown its ability a little bit.
Ning Haitang also took a closer look and found that Lin Ye just boiled the fat meat in oil, and when the fat meat was almost dry, he added a large amount of onions, ginger and garlic.
Add all the pork cut into pieces and add oil, stir-fry for a while and then start adding water.
Simmer over low heat. After the pot boils, some of the firewood is removed, leaving only the middle part of the pot bubbling.
So it was almost midnight when they had this dinner.
They all ate deliciously and ate a lot.
Zinai was full of praise when he saw them, thinking that his brother was amazing, the most powerful in the world.
But Lin Ye didn't eat much. He was very careful when it came to eating, so he didn't look like a man at all.
Relatively speaking, Zinai is very manly.
Even Tuoba Yunxi ate a lot, and she did not eat this kind of food cooked over open firewood all the time.
While Lin Ye was cooking meat, Ning Haitang was not to be outdone. She took up another pot and fried seven or eight vegetables in succession.
It has to be said that her cooking was not inferior to Lin Ye's, which made Zinai eat more than usual.
Not to mention the amount of food during the day, the cooking skills of the two of them were equally matched tonight.
After eating, Ning Haitang no longer showed any interest in competing with Lin Ye, but instead took Zina to play again.
The barracks at night seemed even more solemn than during the day.
Ning Haitang took Zinai to her residence, found her favorite snacks and gave them to Zinai.
Zina only picked one thing, put it away carefully, and said she would go back and taste it with her aunt, brother and the others.
"How long has your brother been practicing martial arts?"
On the way back to see Zinai off, Ning Haitang asked as he walked.
Zinai counted on his fingers, very seriously, and then replied: "I don't know."
She said: "I don't know exactly. My brother didn't start practicing martial arts until he was ten years old. He didn't say when he was a teenager. He is only seventeen now. In short, it is less than seven years."
Ning Haitang nodded and asked again: "Your brother, it seems that... he doesn't have enough energy?"
Zinai: "It's strange that he has so much energy. He doesn't even have Dantian Qi Hai."
Ning Haitang was startled.
"Why?"
Zinai said: "My brother didn't tell me. I knew he was probably injured, so his Dantian was destroyed and he couldn't cultivate his inner strength."
Ning Haitang was a little shocked.
Zinai said: "It doesn't hinder my brother's ability. It's not like he has never killed masters in the Wuyue realm, nor has he only killed one."
Hearing this, Ning Haitang's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Zinai suddenly remembered something, looked at Ning Haitang and said, "By the way, Mr. Xin, the master of Fengyu Temple, once diagnosed and treated my brother, but even he couldn't cure my brother's Dantian."
Ning Haitang pouted: "That guy is not reliable at all. How can you expect him to cure your brother?"
Zinai said: "My aunt has called all kinds of doctors from Yunzhou and Geling, but she can't cure my brother's Dantian."
Ning Haitang nodded and said: "It is indeed difficult to cure the Dantian injury."
Zinai looked up at Ning Haitang, her big eyes reflecting the stars in the night sky.
She asked: "Sister Ning, do you have any idea?"
Ning Haitang said: "I don't know the extent of your brother's injury, so I have to wait until I see it before I say anything."
Zinai took Ning Haitang's hand and said, "How about we go and see it now?"
Ning Haitang said: "It's late at night. Let's see tomorrow. Don't rush it."
Zina thought for a while and nodded: "Okay."
Ning Haitang asked: "Has your brother always been so lazy?"
Zinai said: "Probably not, I probably started to be so lazy after my Dantian was destroyed."
Ning Haitang's heart was slightly shaken, and she seemed to understand.
Lin Ye didn't have a dantian to cultivate his inner energy. Of course, the strength he had finally cultivated would not be wasted on trivial matters.
Think about how during the day, she threw two hares to Lin Ye, but Lin Ye didn't even react at all.
It was then that she suddenly realized that Lin Ye had no Dantian.
A person who cannot rely on his Dantian to cultivate his inner strength is not only not disabled, but can kill a strong man in the Wuyue realm by relying only on his physical body.
For Lin Ye, the little bit of inner energy that he has cultivated through so much hard work, even if it is very small, is still an extremely precious thing.
She vaguely felt that besides admiring Lin Ye, she also felt a little distressed.
Of course, this does not mean that she has any good impression of Lin Ye, it is just the understanding of a tenacious practitioner towards another tenacious practitioner.
But although she has a tough personality, she has no physical problems and has been outstanding since she started practicing.
Lin Ye is different.
She felt that Lin Ye was difficult. If Lin Ye knew about it, he would probably be difficult too... It's hard to explain, but he's not difficult.
Although he has no Dantian, he opened acupoints, and to this day, only he knows how many secret acupoints he has controlled.
Of course, dark caves cannot be compared with Dantian, but they are more numerous.
Without the Dantian that wins by quality, he can win by quantity.
Ning Haitang felt that her contempt for Lin Ye during the day was indeed a bit careless.
She even wondered if she could still have Lin Ye's current strength if her Dantian was destroyed.
"correct."
Ning Haitang looked at Zinai and said, "I see that you are extremely powerful, but you seem to be a little unskilled in controlling your strength."
Zinai said: "Yes, my brother also said that he taught me a lot, but I was stupid and couldn't learn everything well."
Ning Haitang hummed, but didn't say much.
After returning to his residence, Zinai asked Ning Haitang to come into the house and chat again. Ning Haitang smiled and said they would talk tomorrow, then left.
As soon as Zinai entered the door, she ran to Lin Ye and smiled: "That sister is so nice."
Lin Ye looked at the map he borrowed from Ning Haitang during the day and just nodded perfunctorily: "Well, that's great."
Zinai's eyes lit up: "She might be interested in you."
Lin Ye: "Yeah, I'm interested."
Zina snorted: "I know you weren't listening to me."
Lin Ye: "Well, you know I'm not listening to you."
Then he came back to his senses and looked at Zina: "What did you say?"
Zinai: "It's okay."
She took the bag of snacks and ran out: "If I don't give it to you, I'll deliver it to my aunt and sister Xiaohe."
Lin Ye smiled, and then noticed that Zinai had left two snacks for him on the table.
Lin Ye took a piece and while biting it, he turned his attention to the map.
During the day, he saw the two armies fighting on the city wall, but Tuoba Lie's Beiye Army was nowhere to be seen.
Where Tuoba Lie's soldiers and horses have gone at this moment is the key to this battle.
His eyes swept over the map. In his eyes, the lines on the map were plains, mountains, and rivers.
To be honest, he did have some expectations when he came to Longzhangtai, but he didn't expect to win or lose with a woman like Ning Haitang.
He wanted to see what kind of judgment a talented person like Ning Haitang had on war.
Lin Ye is only seventeen, but he is like an old monster who has been practicing for hundreds of years. His heart is as light as water and he has no interest in the irrelevant victory or defeat.
Three years ago, he still had a strong desire to win and would go out of his way to challenge some people to test his upper limit.
Now, when it comes to spiritual practice, he knows where he is missing and where he is stuck.
Before coming to Longzhangtai and not seeing Yun Guhong and Zong Zheng Shiquan fighting, Lin Ye's guess was that Tuoba Lie would definitely enter Guzhu.
But he will enter Guzhu after the Loufan people, because what Tuoba Lie looks forward to most is of course that the Loufan people will kill Emperor Jade.
But at this time, Beiye Army disappeared outside Longzhang Terrace, and Lin Ye had to think...whether Tuoba Lie really wanted to go to Guzhu.
There may be one of Tuoba Lie's sons over there in Lone Bamboo, and that boy is commanding the rebels.
If Tuoba Lie doesn't go to Lone Bamboo, does it mean he doesn't even care about his son?
This is unreasonable. If he doesn't care, why should he hide such a son? Why should he pave the way for his son in Guzhu?
If he cares, he...
Lin Ye suddenly moved his eyes away from the map and looked out the window.
Outside the window is the south, and Dayu is in the south.
Will Tuoba Lie take the opportunity to return to Yunzhou?
Although it was a huge circle, he could still control the situation in Dayu North after returning to Yunzhou.
He could enter Guzhu from Yunzhou and completely cut off the emperor's return to Dayu from the direction of Yunzhou.
Moreover, even though it was such a big circle, Tuoba Lie was able to enter Lone Bamboo from the south and meet up with his son.
Lin Ye walked to the window. The night breeze was slightly cool. He stood at the window and looked into the distance, his thoughts in his mind a little confused.
If this is the case, the emperor asked Ning Weimo not to show up for the time being, and he should have returned to Yunzhou.
But when Ning Weimo returned to Yunzhou, he might not even be able to defeat Wanyu Tower, so how could he possibly turn the tide?
He calculated the time and arranged for the Chu brothers to return to Yunzhou. He didn't know if they could handle the things he told him well.
But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was more likely that Tuoba Lie would return to Yunzhou.
Tuoba Lie used this golden cicada's escape plan to throw Lou Fan's army to Yun Guhong.
He went back to seize the throne... It's hard to say that the big families who secretly supported him were already preparing to welcome him back.
But if he doesn't kill the emperor, what's the point of taking the throne?
As long as the emperor returns to Dayu safely and makes a cry from high above, a traitor like Tuoba Lie will surely be punished by everyone in the world.
Therefore, the only reasonable route is for Tuoba Lie to leave the Loufan people to the defenders of Yun Guhong and Long Zhangtai, and let the two armies kill them both. He then takes a detour to Yunzhou and enters Guzhu.
If the emperor is not dead, even if Tuoba Lie forcibly proclaims himself emperor, he will not even dare to sleep.
Tuoba Lie did not intend to use the Loufan people to kill the emperor, he wanted to throw the Loufan people away.
But if he wanted to use the Loufan people to defeat Yun Guhong's army of 500,000, he would make it impossible for people from the major families to choose.
Tuoba Lie couldn't be too merciful when dealing with those old foxes.
