Soon, the recipe was brought over. Yan Fei was quick-witted and took the recipe from Lan Shuang, which made Yue Shen feel that she had made a mistake.
As soon as Yan Fei sat down, she couldn't wait to start reading and didn't pay any attention to Yue Shen at all.
The Moon Goddess gritted her teeth, moved closer to Yan Fei in an unpleasant manner, and started watching with her.
Soon the two had a general understanding of the cookbook.
The dishes here are all relatively simple, with not too many special requirements from ingredients to cooking methods. Similarly, a large part of the dishes are just good in taste, and only a small part have effects like healing and health-preserving.
But even so, the value of this cookbook is immeasurable.
Yan Fei put away the recipe and solemnly expressed her gratitude to Bai Yuan.
"This recipe is priceless. Mr. Bai Yuan is willing to give it to us. We are getting a great bargain."
"I feel like I got the best deal. It's just a cookbook, but I can get a meal made by two of you. This is something that so many men in the world dream of!"
Bai Yuan said jokingly with a smile on his face.
After hearing this, Yan Fei and Yue Shen suddenly felt a little panicked for some reason.
Both of them held high positions in the Yin-Yang family and had little contact with men. They had only seen love affairs in storybooks or heard them from others. This was the first time they had heard someone say such words to them.
Yan Fei rolled her eyes left and right and coughed lightly.
"I'm going back to my room to study the recipes and try to learn all the dishes listed here as soon as possible."
Having said that, Yan Fei left in a panic without caring about Bai Yuan's reaction.
The Moon Goddess followed suit and said goodbye anxiously.
At this time, Bai Yuan called him: "Wait..."
The Moon Goddess' heart skipped a beat and she looked back at Bai Yuan with a puzzled expression.
"You forgot to take the copper box."
Bai Yuan pointed to the two copper boxes on the table.
The Moon Goddess was stunned for a moment, then looked a little embarrassed. She hurriedly picked up the two copper boxes and went to chase after Yan Fei.
Watching the two people leave, Bai Yuan couldn't help but smile.
"Isn't this reaction a bit too much? I shouldn't have said anything, right?"
Yun Xi and other maids who were standing aside couldn't help but shake their heads slightly when they heard Bai Yuan's muttering.
Looking at the reactions of Yan Fei and Yue Shen, the gentleman must have been laughing secretly in his heart!
No, I'm not just laughing in my heart!
At this moment, Bai Yuan seemed to sense something and glanced at Yun Xi, which scared Yun Xi so much that she quickly turned her head and looked away.
She didn't want to be teased by Bai Yuan in front of so many sisters.
Bai Yuan shook his head and stopped thinking about those trivial matters. He tapped the stone table lightly, thought for a while, and then ordered: "Let Li Wu come to see me."
After receiving Bai Yuan's order, Li Wu quickly rushed over.
Yun Xi and the others tacitly blocked the entire yard, even though the conversation here was unlikely to be overheard.
"How many people are there in Xinzheng now?"
"Because we need to cooperate with the master's actions in Xinzheng, I have transferred one-third of my men to Xinzheng to gather intelligence for the master. In addition to me, there are two Heaven-level members, ten Earth-level members, 120 Mysterious-level members, and a large number of intelligence personnel. The rest of the men are on standby in Qin State."
Li Wu answered honestly.
Since the recasting of Dark River, all members have been divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound and Yellow.
For a long period of time before, the Heavenly Level was vacant, and no one could meet Bai Yuan's requirements to become a so-called Heavenly Level member.
However, it has been almost half a year now, and some people have barely reached Bai Yuan's standards and have taken control of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue left behind by the original Six Sword Slaves. Their code names in the Dark River are still named after swords.
However, the Six Sword Slaves no longer exist. People like the new Zhen Gang, Duan Shui and others are all practicing on their own. Bai Yuan has no intention of training them into deadly weapons.
In Bai Yuan's eyes, people are always people, not weapons.
After listening to Li Wu's report, Bai Yuan nodded and threw out a scroll.
"Leave half of the troops in Xinzheng to continue gathering intelligence, and the rest will have new tasks."
Li Wu took the scroll, opened it and took a look.
Then she immediately put the scroll away and said, "I will arrange it right away."
Looking at Li Wu's departing back, Bai Yuan leisurely drank a sip of tea.
......
Time flies, and several days have passed in a flash.
Ever since I met Wuming that day, Wuming seemed to have disappeared.
But his influence has not disappeared.
The chain reaction caused by the two battles was quite large.
Whether it was the night, the King of Han or the quicksand, they all seemed to be startled.
Especially the King of Han, who was timid to begin with, and was so scared that he ordered his men to double the number of palace guards. At the same time, except for some close ministers, he usually did not see anyone, and he even rarely attended the morning court, and he stayed in the palace all day.
And because Bai Yuan had never concealed his identity and was exposed to the eyes of various forces, he was also given special care.
Ji Wuye specially sent a group of soldiers to patrol and guard near Bai Yuan's house, under the order of King Han, to prevent thieves from causing chaos and harming the king's reputation, and let these soldiers monitor the movements of Bai Yuan and others.
With Ye Mu's influence in Xinzheng, his intelligence network is still very powerful, and he knows that this movement is closely related to Bai Yuan.
But no one, including Ji Wuye, knew what Bai Yuan was planning to do and why he suddenly made such a big fuss.
But these soldiers who were monitoring Bai Yuan seemed a little redundant to him.
If Bai Yuan wanted to take any action, he could completely avoid the surveillance of these people.
After all, it is ridiculous no matter how you look at it for a group of ordinary soldiers to want to monitor a master who has reached the state of unity between man and nature.
So these days, Bai Yuan still goes in and out of the Korean royal palace at will, and takes some time every day to teach the Red Lotus swordsmanship.
On this day, after teaching the Red Lotus sword technique, Bai Yuan had just returned home when he received news from Anhe that Tianze and others had gone to Nanyang to cause trouble, and the commotion they caused was quite loud.
They set fire and poisoned everywhere in Nanyang, not only killing many innocent people but also destroying many crops.
Now that the autumn harvest is almost here and something like this has suddenly happened in Nanyang, Bai Yuan can even guess what the King of Han's reaction will be. He must be extremely angry.
After all, seeing such news, even Bai Yuan himself felt a little angry.
"In order to take revenge on South Korea, he actually attacked innocent people. Tianze has no bottom line!"
Bai Yuan could fully foresee the fate of the people of Nanyang.
I am afraid that this year, Nanyang will experience widespread famine due to the destruction of crops.
If there is no way to solve the problem by then, more than one or two people will die!
It can be said that Tianze has become a little bit crazy.
Yan Fei, Ning Yan and others couldn't help but frown when they heard the news.
Even the Moon Goddess, who usually doesn't care much about others, feels that Tianze's actions are a bit too much.
You know, even in a war, the army generally will not attack innocent civilians.
"Tianze is not a stupid person. If he wants to take revenge on South Korea by this method, it is too clumsy, let alone restore the country."
Although they were angry, Ningyan and the others remained calm and began to analyze the suspicious points.
Bai Yuan touched his chin, thinking about Tianze's purpose.
Combined with the tough attitude Tianze showed in his previous battle with Bai Yifei, Bai Yuan felt as if he had captured some information.
"Could he have done this on purpose to attract Night's attention?"
Chapter 393: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain, the Mystery of the Old Palace of Zheng
Amid the bleak autumn wind, Xinzheng city is extremely bustling today.
Countless people stood on both sides of the street, looking forward to the direction of the palace.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
The sound of horse hooves was heard, and everyone saw a group of mighty cavalrymen wearing black armor walking out of the camp near the palace.
Watching from afar, everyone could feel a murderous aura.
The general walking at the front of this army was none other than Ji Wuye.
Today is the day he goes to battle.
To be precise, it was the day when he and Bai Yifei went out to fight together.
Because Tianze was causing chaos in Nanyang and even coercing the local people to start a rebellion, King Han was furious no matter how stupid and useless he was.
Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei were both held accountable by the King of Han for this matter.
In a rage, the King of Han sent Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye to lead an elite force to Nanyang to quell the rebellion.
Ji Wuye was the chief general, and Bai Yifei was the deputy general, and they sent 50,000 men to suppress the rebellion.
The order they received was to quell the rebellion and kill the ringleaders.
Bai Yuan, Yan Fei and others were observing the army in a teahouse in the distance.
"I didn't expect it to be the Jisha Army. It seems that the King of Han is serious this time."
Yan Fei and Yue Shen looked at the attire of this army and recognized its origins.
"Strike the Brake Army?"
Bai Yuan was a little confused after hearing this. He had no impression of this army.
The same went for Yan Lingji and the others. They did not understand this army and looked at Yan Fei and Yue Shen, waiting for their explanation.
Yan Fei and Yue Shen looked at each other, and then Yan Fei explained:
"The Jisha Army is the trump card army of the Kingdom of Han, and is an elite army like the Wei Wuzu of the Kingdom of Wei, the Zhao Bianqi of the Kingdom of Zhao, and the Qi Jiji of the Kingdom of Qi."
"South Korea is located in a place surrounded by enemies. It can protect itself in the face of the siege of the vassal states because of this army."
"However, after the Battle of Yiyang and the Battle of Yique, this army was severely damaged and almost completely wiped out."
"Since then, the Jisha Army has rarely been active on the battlefield. Even when South Korea joined the coalition to attack Qin, it did not send the Jisha Army. Under such circumstances, the Jisha Army is naturally not as famous as the ace armies of other countries."
Bai Yuan seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this.
After observation, he also discovered that the equipment of this army was the most luxurious among the seven countries.
They were wearing a set of fine armor, a uniform iron sword at their waist, a huge Korean crossbow on their backs, and a quiver hanging on each side of their horses. Each person carried at least fifty or sixty arrows.
Whether it is a long-range strike or a close-range combat, this army will have excellent combat effectiveness.
From this army, Bai Yuan realized the true strength of South Korea.
South Korea's weapons manufacturing technology is top-notch among the seven countries, and the saying that all the strongest bows and crossbows in the world come from South Korea is indeed not just talk.
Even though the extremely important Yiyang Iron Mine was lost in the war, South Korea still maintained first-class weapons manufacturing technology, so rebuilding the Jisha Army was naturally not a difficult task.
However, with South Korea's current national strength, it cannot afford to support too many people, so the number of the Jisha Army should not be large.
As expected, Bai Yuan and others, sitting in the teahouse, soon discovered that this army was also mixed with Bai Yifei's personal troops, that is, the White Armor Army, and the ratio of their numbers to the Jisha Army was about two to three.
Soon, the army left Xinzheng in a mighty force and headed towards Nanyang.
Yan Fei sat aside and asked curiously, "Are we just going to watch and do nothing?"
Now that the King of Han has sent a large army to quell the rebellion, Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei have both been dispatched. There is absolutely no way Tianze can resist.
Because they knew the result, Yan Fei and Yue Shen were even more curious as to why Bai Yuan could still sit here and drink tea so calmly.
Bai Yuan pressed his palm, signaling the two not to worry.
"Don't you think all this is strange? Tianze started a rebellion in Nanyang. Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei were forced to go to Nanyang to quell the rebellion. It would take at least several days to go back and forth. What would have happened if Tianze was not in Nanyang at this time?"
Bai Yuan showed a meaningful expression.
Yan Fei and Yue Shen were stunned for a moment, then realized what Bai Yuan meant.
"You mean, this is Tianze's strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
