After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 213 The old Ji Ruoshui

Return to Changchun Gate.

Lin Xi handed Wu Ren's four maids, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju Sifang, to Feng Mumu and asked her to settle them down.

As for the guards and boatmen, Qin Feng asked them to be detained temporarily.

The rest should be dealt with after she takes a nap first to regain her mental strength and wakes up.

"By the way, take these fish to the Shangshi Bureau. I want to eat grilled fish hot pot tonight."

Lin Xi left these words, returned to her room, and threw herself on the bed.

"What about that, young man? My family is still waiting for me to go back. It's not too early now. Why don't you let me go?"

The old man who was brought back with him smiled apologetically at Lin Wushang.

Then he hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone what I saw today, even if you kill me."

Lin Wushang looked at Ji Heng who was acting in front of him and felt a little speechless.

The legendary Confucian scholar, a master who lived in seclusion, actually behaved like this.

"Sorry, I can't make the decision on this matter. Don't worry, old man, we won't do anything to you. When the time comes, we will naturally let you go down the mountain."

elder:"……"

What is the difference between saying this and not saying it?
But what can he do as an old man who doesn't know how to use martial arts?

It can only be settled when it comes.

Lin Xi slept until evening.

Before I even opened my eyes, my nose smelled the aroma of grilled fish.

It seemed that Shangshi Bureau had already prepared dinner, and she woke up at the right time.

When making grilled fish hotpot, it is natural to use chili peppers.

However, chili peppers had not yet been introduced during this period.

But it doesn't matter, they don't have chili peppers, they have sichuan peppercorns.

Shuxin is a wild plant distributed in Songshan and even nearby counties. It looks like a pepper. It is green at first and turns red when mature.

The taste is very spicy and exciting.

Even just touching it with your hands will give you a burning sensation on your skin.

Therefore, local people think this plant is poisonous and avoid it if they see it.

Lin Xi had encountered this plant when she was searching for treasure places all over the mountains and fields.

It was a surprise at the time. I thought I had encountered wild peppers.

I picked a lot and brought them back to the door.

Only then did I know it was called Shu Xin.

No matter what it is called, to her it is chili pepper.

It was precisely because of Shu Xin that Lin Xi tasted spicy food again.

I ate spicy chicken, boiled meat, spicy rabbit... and a series of spicy dishes.

And the people in the sect were led by her, and they gradually fell in love with spicy food.

In the dining hall.

Lin Xi, Lin Wushang, Qin Yi and the old man were sitting around a low table.

There was a charcoal stove on the table. In the iron pot on the charcoal stove, a piece of grilled fish weighing four or five kilograms was soaked in the salty and spicy soup.

It is surrounded by various side dishes such as mushrooms, vegetables, tofu, and meatballs.

The soup was bubbling and boiling with white smoke.

Lin Xi was the first to pick up the fish with chopsticks, and everyone else also started using their chopsticks.

Some old people who were out of place looked left and right, smelling the strong aroma, but they couldn't hold it back and started eating.

Qin Yi didn't take more than two bites before fanning herself with her hands: "Hiss! It's so spicy!"

Take two sips of cool fruit wine quickly.

After drinking, he continued to join the battle group.

She loves and hates spicy food. She loves the taste, but hates that she is useless and can't eat spicy food like Xibao without changing her expression.

Although it was the first time for the old man to eat spicy food, he adapted well and looked silent. In fact, there were already a lot of fish bones in front of him.Below, Feng Mumu and Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and Sifang were sitting at the same table and greeted them warmly: "Sisters, you're welcome. You can eat whatever you want."

Mei Fang was still immersed in the grief of her son's death, and hated Lin Xi for killing her son.

Feng Mumu also didn't like it.

Ignore her at all.

Lan Fang is far more knowledgeable about current affairs than she is, and can recognize the situation better.

Knowing that the life and death of several of them depended on Lin Xi's thoughts, and knowing that the woman named Feng Mumu in front of him was Lin Xi's trusted subordinate, he did not dare to turn a deaf ear to her words.

"Thank you sister." He picked up the chopsticks obediently and put a piece of tofu into the bowl.

Zhufang and Jufang were very grateful to Lin Xi because they had been rescued, but they were a little scared.

But as they ate, the two of them forgot about it.

This grilled fish hotpot is so delicious!It's just a bit spicy, so you need to drink water frequently.

After eating and putting down his chopsticks, Lin Xi had time to talk.

"Old man, our competition was interrupted. How do we calculate victory or defeat?"

Old man: "Of course you win. My little friend's fishing skills put me to shame."

As he spoke, he took out the treasure map from his arms and handed it over.

Lin Xi opened it and looked at it. After confirming that it was the same as the one she saw before, she folded it and put it away.

"My name is Lin Xi, and I am the leader of the Changchun Sect. Don't you know what I call you?"

The old man: "Old Ji Ruoshui."

Lin Wushang's eyes moved slightly, Ji Heng's words were like water, his guess was right.

The old man in front of him was the great Confucian Ji Heng, whom he had visited many times in his previous life but never had the chance to meet.

Lin Xi: "Ji Ruoshui, the surname Ji is quite rare, but I also have a girl named Ji under my family."

Ji Heng subconsciously wanted to ask about the girl named Ji, but gave up after thinking about it.

All nine of his clans had been killed on the order of Yin Shichong (the name of the last emperor of the previous dynasty, Emperor Qi Ai), and he was the only one left in the Ji clan.

The girl named Ji could not be his blood relative. Even if he asked, he would not get the answer he wanted.

In the end, it will only increase disappointment, so it is better not to ask.

Lin Wushang sent a message to Lin Xi: "I have something to tell you about this old man Ji."

Lin Xi told Qin Feng: "Take Mr. Ji to the front yard to rest."

Then he took Lin Wushang to his room.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with Ji Ruoshui's identity?"

Lin Wushang: "There is no problem, but Ji Ruoshui's actual name is Ji Heng, and 'Ruoshui' is his given name."

Lin Xi: "Did you know him in your previous life?"

Lin Wushang: “I can’t say I know him, I’ve just heard of his name.

"I have visited him many times and wanted to ask him to be my staff, but the fate was always the same. It was only in this life that I really saw his face."

Lin Xi: "Daming? Is he very powerful?"

Lin Wushang nodded: "It's not that he has great martial arts skills, but that he has the talent to help the world and manage the country, and it's no problem to lead troops to fight."

Then he recounted all the deeds of Ji Heng in his previous life.

After Lin Xi listened, her focus was: "Yin Shichong first poisoned his family, and then ordered the execution of his nine clans. He should hate Yin Shichong, and even the Yin family, right?"

Lin Wushang: "Maybe."

Lin Xi suddenly asked: "Who are Ji Heng's family members?"

Lin Wushang recalled it.

In his previous life, in order to invite Ji Heng to come out to assist him, he worked hard on him and investigated everything about him.

Ji Heng's family was naturally not left behind either.

"He has a wife, two sons and a daughter, and five grandchildren."
