Chapter 127 Heavenly Fire Cooks Honey and Wears Jade Pearls
The envoy of the Western Xia was called Li Liangmu. He was a middle-aged man who looked a little naive and stupid. He did not show any amazing performance in this court battle from beginning to end. If it were good, he only cooperated with the Northern Liao once. He had long heard of the rebellion of Yelu Zhangnu of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and his mind was filled with Xiao Changxing's calculations because he knew Jiang Huai better than Xiao Changxing. In the secret report of Caiyi Tower, Jiang Huai was the first-class person. The head of Caiyi Tower made a detailed analysis of Jiang Huai in front of Emperor Chongzong Li Ganshun. Li Ganshun had issued a secret order to fight for Jiang Huai to enter Xia at all costs, so after hearing Jiang Huai's identity, he acted more cautiously.
In addition, more importantly, the Song Dynasty is now fighting with Xixia, and the main fighting areas are in the northwest. The reason why he came with Ibn was because in the latest battle, Xixia defeated the Song army and took advantage of the victory to plunder Xiaoguan, the Ningxia area. He was the envoy of the victorious army and was going to show off his power, but due to his temperament, he was also happy to let the Northern Liao stand up. He just kept making a fortune in a quiet voice. Unfortunately, although his abacus was good, because of Jiang Huai, all this was reversed instantly.
At this time, he was secretly complaining in his heart, because as an envoy of the winning army, he came to witness the grand event of the defeated army. It was not humiliating, but there was no glory, nor any substantial advantage. It could be said that he had not made any achievements, but these were things he should have to worry about later. Now he needed to make a statement first, because everyone at the scene was basically focused on him.
He stood alone and slowly looked at the eyes of everyone present. Especially when he met Jiang Huai, he felt that his soul was exposed for a moment. Jiang Huai had a faint smile on his face, as if he saw through everything he thought. He sighed gently in his heart, and he said, "As a good neighbor, there is no reason not to be happy for the Song Dynasty. I, Xixia, are willing to witness this grand event."
Jiang Huai then took a few steps forward and bowed deeply to Zhao Ji: "Master, can you make such a decision?"
Zhao Ji was happy and couldn't help but whisper loudly: "Just act according to your sir."
Jiang Huai replied and said to Cai Jing: "Cai Xiang, please arrange to make a letter. After I apply a little method to solve their problems, the ceremony will be completed."
No matter how arrogant Cai Jing was, he could not defeat such a grand event at this time, so he arranged for the Ministry of Rites to arrange such matters immediately. Jiang Huai called Yelu Hongyun to arrange the things he had prepared long ago.
Jiang Huai worshipped Zhao Ji and shouted to the civil and military officials of the court and the envoys of the Three Kingdoms: "Heaven and earth have virtue, so they can conquer the great sages, so they can stabilize the country and establish the prosperous era. In the chaotic period of the Song Dynasty, the doors are open to the world, and they are happy to welcome guests and friends, and they are not afraid of jackals. Today, the great food is willing to offer the country, so that the ice cicada silk can pass through the nine-curved jade beads, so that everyone can know the demeanor of the Song Dynasty. Today, I will show you some food to the heavenly fire and the gods wear beads."
Outside the Golden Palace, a thin glass in the middle drum was set up in a moment, which was called glazed at that time. The craftsmanship was not very mature. This was also the case that Ma San finally found it in the capital overnight, and asked the craftsmen to polish it carefully to make it look like this. At the same time, a pile of dry materials were set up next to this large glass. There was an iron pot on top of the dry firewood, and some honeycombs were placed in the pot. There was a high platform next to the large pot. There was a glass box made of glazed glass on the platform, which contained the national treasure of Dashi, the nine-curve jade beads and extremely thin and soft ice cicada silk.
After all these were ready, Jiang Huai led Zhao Ji and a group of ministers out of the Golden Palace. At this time, the sun was dazzling, and the large glass flowed in the sun with colorful colors, which was another unique scene.
After Jiang Huai came to the Song Dynasty, he still insisted on the materialistic philosophical view, but in many things he used to rely on the relatively simple idealistic form and method at that time. For example, he pretended to change into the seven-star Taoist robe that Taoist only wore, and at some point he held up a peach wood sword in his hand. Even his walking posture deliberately imitated the form of the seven-star steps described in the book, and his every move was full of profound style.
Zhao Ji was particularly dazzling in the sun in the sun. He squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Huai's outfit, and immediately became full of interest. The Taoist emperor immediately fell into Jiang Huai's design.
The young Yue Fei stood in a corner far away from the crowd. He opened his eyes wide and watched Jiang Huai dance the peach wood sword in the colorful light, as if he was a banished immortal Lin Fan. He himself didn't know that a seed of admiration was planted in his heart. Many years later, it grew into a big tree. This big tree was bathed in the wind and rain, guarding Jiang Huai in the violent changes of wind and clouds, realizing the strong Song Dream of the Iron Horse and Golden Ghost.
Jiang Huai did put in some effort to learn these seven-star steps. After all, Zhao Ji believed in Taoism. Even if he was not proficient, he should be able to see through it at least. Therefore, Jiang Huai must ask himself to be more professional. In fact, the preparations he made today are the most obvious. The trick of cooking food in Tianhuo is to focus on the ignition of the convex lens.
Jiang Huainian Nian You Ci used a peach wood sword to adjust the glass mirror to the appropriate position. The sunlight gathered a little above the pile of dry firewood. After about half a stick of incense, blue smoke rose up. Gradually, a small flame emerged from the firewood, making people feel trembling.
Jiang Huai shouted loudly at the right time: "The sky fire has been born, thank you God of Fire Zhu Rong for coming to help." After that, the peach wood sword led in the sky and bowed to the direction of the sun in the sky.
The pot was boiled over high heat, and the honeycomb in the pot began to melt after a while, and the air began to smell sweet. Jiang Huai used his peach wood sword to play with it, and then he picked out some honey and dripped it on one side of the Jiuqu Yuzhu with his tip.
Next is technical activity. Technical activity naturally requires the action of Yelu Hongyun, who is in his body, and he saw Yelu Hongyun transforming into a colorful little ant from somewhere, holding it in his palm, exquisite and cute.
Yelu Hongyun tied the ice cicada silk barely visible to the naked eye to the little ant in an incredible way, threw the honey on the peach wood sword, and then picked it up again, placed it on the other side of the nine-curved jade beads under the instructions of Jiang Huai. He was attracted by the fragrance of honey. The ant wandered among the nine-curved jade beads, and in a moment he dragged the ice cicada silk to penetrate the jade beads. At this point, all the problems of food were easily resolved by Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai nodded at Yelu Hongyun. Yelu Hongyun raised his hand and the nine-curved jade beads flew into the air. The jade beads began to make different sounds, like flutes, willow catkins, or like Xiao Chen Lake water, which was indeed magical.
Jiang Huai pulled away the peach wood sword and shouted at Ibn in the distance: "Ibn, God's will belong to Song, can you see clearly?"
