Chapter 95 Siege
Today I have a headache, one chapter.

A fresh fat fish was pressed on the chopping board and kept fluttering.
Wang Daniu, holding a kitchen knife, did not feel pity. He used the back of the knife to hit the fish's head. Whether it was a coma or a dead fish finally stopped flapping.
Wang Daniu's technique was very neat. He first made a neat hole in the fish belly, took out some seemingly dirty organs, then hanged off the fish scales, and finally made several deep bone- visible scars on the surface of the fish, sprinkled with salt, and put rice wine on a plate to marinate.
Then, he began to make sauces with rice wine, soup, vinegar, etc., and put them into the already boiling bone soup. The soup quickly changed color, and then a faint fragrance was heard.
Zhang Xiaodao looked at the scene in surprise, and then exclaimed: "There is progress."
But Tang Miaomiao and Fayi, who were standing next to Zhang Xiaodao, would never have such praise, and their saliva was almost flowing out.
Wang Daniu smiled honestly, as if he was a little shy about Xiaodao's praise.
Zhang Xiaodao picked up the soup spoon, tasted the old soup, and then smacked his mouth, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Tang Miaomiao and Monk Fayi. So the two of them also quarreled for the soup, and then they could not stop.
The boiled old soup was added with water, and the fish were finally put into it after a long wait. The umami mixed with the smell of the old soup turned into a scent that would drool when smelled, and gradually spread into this small courtyard.
As dusk approaches, enthusiastic neighbors bring wild game that is absolutely unavailable in the market.
Wang Daniu also showed his cooking skills that have become purely pure in the past two years because of taking care of his father. These wild game are naturally fresh enough for those who stay in Shengjing for many years.
After dinner, I don’t know if I had eaten too much or the fatigue of the journey, the second girl and grandma took Tang Miaomiao back to the room Zhang Xiaodao arranged for their rest.
Zhang Xiaodao and the other two naturally drank and reminisced.
The wine is from Lingyin County, which is neither strong nor light, and is very ordinary. However, people are brothers who meet again after life and death. Even if the wine is light, they will get drunk as they drink it.
Fayi naturally doesn't drink, but I don't know if it's because the night is too charming, the past story of the two of them, or the past story of the two of them, or the past story of the two of them is too charming, in short, monk Fayi also felt a little drunk.
When he felt gradually getting drunk, the open door of the Zhang family butcher shop welcomed guests again. Zhang Xiaodao and Wang Daniu looked at each other, and then fell silent.
Wang Daniu was silent because Liu Yichen came back and he didn't tell Zhang Xiaodao at all.
Zhang Xiaodao was silent because he seemed to have no idea what he should react to Liu Yichen again.
Finally, Zhang Xiaodao smiled and said softly: "I heard that you went to Jiuyang, but I thought you were not back."
Liu Yichen smiled and walked into the seat with Dong Yao, who already had the charm of a young woman.
The seat is a good name, but it is actually just a torn wooden table with leftovers placed on it, and several people sat around.
Liu Yichen and Dong Yao sat in it, Zhang Xiaodao took out the wine and filled it, and said, "Long time no see, drink one first."
Faced with Zhang Xiaodao's openness, Liu Yichen picked up the wine bowl, drank a bowl of wine, and looked at his childhood friends who were gradually growing in front of him, the four of Lingyin County felt complicated in their hearts.
Zhang Xiaodao never blamed Liu Yichen for not fighting side by side with him one night, but he was open-minded in his life and knew that although Liu Yichen could not be a brother, he would be a friend after all, so he showed his friendly attitude.
Wang Daniu is different. Although Wang Daniu looks honest and honest on the surface, he is a person who is clearly black and white and cannot get sand in his eyes.
So, even after drinking a bowl of wine, Wang Daniu still said nothing and continued to remain silent.
"How are the border troops doing?"
“It’s pretty good.”
Although Liu Yichen successfully entered Xuantian Pavilion because of the notes left by his mother, he was just an external manager and sat in the pastry shop as a secret whistle.
Of course he would not hear that the name Zhang Xiaodao was even more unaware of the upper class in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. No one would not know Zhang Xiaodao's name.
So, it’s not so good that these four words fell into Liu Yichen’s ears. At least he felt that it would be difficult for Zhang Xiaodao to make a name for himself in the Bianjun where birds do not shit.
"Not bad, how good?"
Zhang Xiaodao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about you, how are you?" Obviously, he felt that Liu Yichen came here not to reminisce about the past, but more like the 21st century old classmate reunion filled with the words "showing off".
"I entered Xuantian Pavilion, but I was just a secret whistle and worked as a shopkeeper in a relatively large shop."
He was not proud and very calm and calm, but this tone was undoubtedly the tone that Liu Yichen determined after deep thought. This way he was so prosperous that he was prosperous, but it made people feel that he was calm and unpretentious, but it was the greatest ostentatious.
Dong Yao didn't know a lot about the past, and smiled and said, "I'm taking a sip, I really miss you."
Zhang Xiaodao smiled, picked up the wine bowl with Wang Daniu, and drank it all in one go.
After drinking this sip of wine, Zhang Xiaodao said: "I won't mention the past today, and I won't mention the dust before I get drunk."
Wang Daniu picked up the wine pot and filled the wine. Zhang Xiaodao picked up the wine bowl again and said, "Come on, I'm doing one."
But he found that there was an unhappy look between Liu Yichen's eyebrows and looked at Dong Yao. Dong Yao didn't know that he interrupted her husband, picked up the wine bowl, and drank it all heroically again.

The relationship between people is the most complex in the world.
Although it was an old friend meeting, after drinking this wine, the four children lost their joy and joy when they were secretly drinking. I don’t know whether it was the sorrow of growth or the sorrow of people’s hearts.
Liu Yichen is the most depressed person in this wine.
He once told Wang Daniu openly that he was jealous of Zhang Xiaodao and envious of Zhang Xiaodao.
So no matter how many years have passed, he always thought that he could overwhelm Zhang Xiaodao in some ways.
As it turns out, when they returned to the county town, Zhang Xiaodao's limelight directly overshadowed him. Even though people in the county town didn't know how Zhang Xiaodao was doing, Zhang Xiaodao was Zhang Xiaodao. They just looked at the grown-up children and would care for them no matter what.
He was jealous again, and then wanted to use his current status to suppress Zhang Xiaodao during this visit, but Zhang Xiaodao said that he would not talk about the past tonight, but just drink.
Drinking immediately became the most depressing thing.
The wine was until late at night. No matter what Liu Yichen was talking about, no one would listen, because everyone was drinking too much.
He was speechless all night. The next morning, Zhang Xiaodao sat up, thought of the tasteless wine last night, and then started washing up.
While he was all about it, the girl Wang, who was in the Xuantian Pavilion in Jiuyang City, finally came to Lingyin County.
Lingyin County did not bring any freshness to Miss Wang, and the more than thirty riders behind her naturally didn't feel fresh, but their arrival was the strongest freshness for Lingyin County.
Zhou Zhongxi, who walked out of the county government, did not wear the government, but was particularly solemn.
For the people of Lingyin County, they would not have much awe for the governments of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, just like the people of the Great Wilderness would not have any awe when they came here.
Zhou Zhongxi was different. He always felt that the people in Lingyin County were fierce because the women in Shanye Village knew too little, and because they didn’t know, they were not awe.
He was very awe-inspiring, especially Xuantian Pavilion, a violent institution in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and he was even more awe-inspiring.
When he came to Miss Wang honestly, the members of the militia in Lingyin County seemed to be hostile to these black-clad men in Xuantian Pavilion.
So he said, "It's all gone." The people from the Lingyin County militia dispersed.
Miss Wang did not blame him. Zhou Zhongxi took her into the county government office and brewed a pot of good tea. Miss Wang took a symbolic sip and asked, "Has the bald man come to the county town?"
Zhou Zhongxi looked a little surprised and said incomprehensible: "Bald."
"Do you know about the assassination of the Jiedushi?"
"This, I heard of it."
"The bald head is the assassin's accomplice, we need to follow this clue and keep looking for it."
Zhou Zhongxi pondered for a moment and said, "The traffic of people in Lingyin County has been very high since the beginning of spring. I don't know if there are bald people here."
"It should have been here a day ago!"
Zhou Zhongxi's face changed slightly, and she remembered Zhang Xiaodao's return yesterday. The two had not had time to meet, but Zhou Zhongxi knew that the young monk who had once been at the Winter Inn returned with Zhang Xiaodao.
Miss Wang interrogated countless prisoners throughout her life, and her ability to observe words and expressions was as pure as Huo. Seeing Zhou Zhongxi's face slightly change, she whispered: "You know how big a thing this is, so it's best to tell me truthfully."
Zhou Zhongxi also understood that this was a big deal, but he still said: "There is a bald man, but I think that should be a misunderstanding."
"Is it a misunderstanding? We will find out. Now you need to take me to where the bald man lives."
Zhou Zhongxi frowned and said, "Okay, but you have to make sure you don't hurt anyone."
Miss Wang smiled casually: "I know your reputation, but you must also understand how big the matter is this time. Of course, it will not hurt people, but if it is the case, I will kill people!"
The arrogant and domineering arrogance finally reflected the Xuantian Pavilion.
Zhou Zhongxi understood that such a thing could not be stopped by him, and he believed that Xiaodao must be innocent, so he said, "Okay, let's go."
More than thirty cavalry set out from the county government, and immediately attracted onlookers when walking through the streets.
After coming to the Zhang family butcher shop, everyone realized that their destination was, so the noise began, and the noise began, and the hostility of the people of Lingyin County began to emerge.
While Zhang Xiaodao was still unaware, the general surnamed Li rushed over with three thousand iron cavalry, locking all the entrances and exits of Lingyin County under the stunned gaze of tourists.
More importantly, a large number of reinforcements are still behind us. Today, Lingyin County is destined to be trapped, besieged by countless iron cavalry!
