The pheasant spirit's eyes were full of curiosity. The strange thing in front of him looked very intimidating.
The stove is a square column stove with a hollow inside and iron pipes on the outside that lead directly to the outside in circles.
There is a damper in the front and a flue in the back. The furnace body is hollow and is used to hold some black stones. When the green smoke is lit, except for some that are exposed and take a mouthful of pheasant essence, there is no smell at all.
As the flame was ignited, this special black stone began to burn, and the effect was several times that of charcoal. Pheasant Jing had seen such a magical thing before.
"This is Gu's new invention, a coal stove. It's specially used to light things like coal. How about it? It's very warm."
When Li Zhou was a child in his previous life, every household would light a stove as soon as winter came. It was an indispensable winter tool for every household. It was used to boil water and cook. There were also cabbage dumplings made by his mother. The whole family seemed happy.
The look made Li Zhou's eyes wet.
Perhaps the emotion of longing infected the Pheasant Spirit, and the Pheasant Spirit actually saw some kind of human weakness in Di Xin, which is quite rare.
It's just that the pheasant spirit couldn't understand the silent Di Xin, so he could only say lightly, "Yes, this stove is indeed very warm, and those little chickens probably won't die."
[Perfect humanity, make a coal stove, and gain 100 merits.]
"I happen to be here. Come here and kill an old hen for me. I'm going to make chicken soup."
After a while, the freshly slaughtered old hen was placed in front of Di Xin.
Di Xin began to stew chicken soup in an earthen pot. The coal stove below was hot, and the earthen pot above was boiling. He only needed some salt. The chicken soup was filled with white oil and an appetizing aroma.
.
As a gourmet, there is nothing that cannot be solved with one meal. If so, then have another meal.
At this time, the pheasant essence was so greedy that it even shed tears, and Di Xin glanced at her.
"You pheasant spirit, you are not only indifferent when you watch your kind being cooked, but you are also extremely greedy. This word "monster" really says it all.
"Your Majesty, I am the spirit of a nine-headed pheasant, a strange beast from ancient times. How can I compare to these domesticated animals? In ancient times, I was also an evil beast that drove away tigers and devoured wolves. Unfortunately, the phoenixes that have landed now are not as good as chickens, yet they are raised here.
Chickens make a living, I..."
Di Xin opened the earthen pot directly, and the rich smell of chicken soup immediately hit his nose.
"I'll give you a chicken leg, drink this bowl of chicken soup, and comfort yourself, that's all."
Pheasant Essence looked at the chicken legs and chicken soup in the bowl, swallowed it in one gulp without politeness, and smacked his lips at the same time, obviously not full.
Di Xin ate another chicken leg, and then drank a bowl of chicken soup in the cold winter, which immediately made his whole body warm.
The pheasant spirit stared at the remaining chicken soup in the earthen pot. Di Xin smiled and said, "Eat it if you want. It's not like I can't bear to part with this chicken soup."
When the Pheasant Spirit heard this, he flapped his wings and drank the hot chicken soup directly, looking very satisfied.
One person and one chicken felt a touch of warmth in this simple shed in the cold winter.
[Due to providing a delicious meal, the pheasant essence's admiration value is increased to -79%]
"The food made by the king is unique in Chaoge. I heard that the important people in Chaoge are honored to receive the food given by the king."
"Really? It's a pity that what I want is not glory, but loyalty."
"If the slave family is also loyal to the king, will the king think highly of me?"
"Of course! No matter the gods, gods, ghosts or demons, as long as you are loyal to Gu, loyal to Yin and Shang, and give Gu what he wants, then so what!"
Di Xin smiled softly, looked at the pheasant spirit in front of him, and suddenly felt that it was not that bad.
"Is that so..."
[Due to touching the heart, the pheasant essence’s admiration value is increased to -69%]
When Di Xin came out of the chicken farm, the cold wind suddenly blew, and he couldn't help but put on the mink robe he was wearing.
Pheasant Essence looked at the departing Human King, and suddenly inexplicably wanted to keep the warmth of eating chicken soup just now, which she had never experienced in thousands of years.
…
Sishui Pass
Han Rong, who had received the order from the Human King first, fell silent.
"My lord, Boyikao is the eldest son of Ji Chang. If he is imprisoned and arrested rashly, I am afraid it will arouse Xiqi's dissatisfaction."
There is a strange man next to Han Rong, a tall general with red hair, golden face, a pair of strange golden eyes, and a tiger skin robe with chain armor. He is the seven-headed general Yu Hua, whom Han Rong relies on most.
Yu Hua is an outstanding figure among the fourth generation disciples of Jiejiao. He has a magic weapon called the "Soul-killing Banner" and he is very proficient in the techniques of left and right sects.
Yu Hua was very wise. Although Han Rong was the commander-in-chief of Sishui Pass, he had to listen to his opinions.
"It's just that if the king's order is not implemented, I may not be able to explain it."
Bishui Pass borders Xiqi. If Xiqi is really forced to rebel, Bishui Pass may be the first to be unlucky, so Han Rong does not want to overly stimulate Xiqi.
"The king's order only said that Boyikao would be escorted, but it did not say how to escort him or who would escort him. When the general saw Boyikao, he treated him with courtesy. I intercepted and taught four generations of disciples and escorted Boyikao.
Isn't it wonderful to sing the song of entering the court, so that neither of them can be offended?"
Han Rong nodded, Jie Jiao was considered powerful in Chaoge, and with the old master Wen Zhong as his backer, even the human king would not dare to offend them rashly.
"He who knows me, Yu Hua, just do this. Come and invite Boyi Kao to Sishui Pass!"
Han Rong shouted, and the mighty sound resounded throughout the entire Sishui Pass.
Boyikao was handsome, elegant, virtuous, and synonymous with a glorious image. He was also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, and divination. According to future generations, he would be someone else's child.
Han Rong was a rough and mean man, thick on the outside and fine on the inside. When he saw Boyikao, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "What a good man."
"The son of Xibohou, Boyikao, pays homage to the Commander-in-Chief of Sishui Pass."
Along the way, the soldiers at Sishui Pass showed a fierce look on their faces, and they were mighty and bloody, but they did not make Boyikao show any fear. Instead, they were as cheerful as a spring breeze.
"It is said that the eldest son of Marquis Xibo is a sage. I still don't believe it. But when I saw him today, it turned out to be true. Hurry up and take your seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Boyikao sat down directly in his wide robe and long sleeves. When he saw the stranger next to Han Rong, he did not show any fear. Instead, he saluted frequently, which immediately made Yu Hua very fond of him. Even the other primary school student, Wang Hu, was attracted by him.
Taken care of.
The feeling of spring breeze was felt by everyone in Han Rong's camp.
The supply at Bishui Pass was limited, but the coarse salt and roasted sheep from Chaoge also spread here. Han Rong cut his meat with his own hands, and Boyikao's expression did not change, but he was polite and courteous.
After a few words, Han Rong greatly admired Boyikao's character, and even Yu Hua expressed deep sympathy for his plight.
"My eldest son, it is understandable that you want to save your father. I just heard that the place where the king imprisoned Xibohou is surrounded by mountains, with only one place with a waterway. Obviously, he has no intention of releasing Xibohou. This trip is very unlucky.
Too little."
Han Rong was the commander-in-chief of Yiguan and had his own informants in Chaoge. He admired Boyikao very much and couldn't help but worry about him.
"As a son of man, you must do your best. Even if the odds are against you, you must move forward bravely. My life is also given by my father. I just need to repay my father."
Boyikao's pure and filial image was fully revealed at this moment.
