On the long street of the imperial city, heavy snowflakes fluttered down from the sky, covering the green bricks and stone tiles, pressing down on the roofs of the tents set up by the vendors on both sides of the street.
The rustling cold breeze blew past, causing the pedestrians wrapped in layers upon layers of clothes to shiver uncontrollably. They breathed out a breath of air and continued forward.
Luo Sanniang pulled Ouyang Xiaoyi and Yang Chen along as the three of them stepped on the snow, slowly walking on the long street of the imperial city. The wind blew and the snowflakes fell, but they were all blocked by Luo Sanniang's true energy barrier.
As the three of them walked, Luo Sanniang was still scolding Yang Chen. Yang Chen's little face was scrunched up, looking bitter. Beside her, Ouyang Xiaoyi giggled, laughing at Yang Chen's embarrassing appearance.
All of a sudden, the wind and snow that filled the sky suddenly stopped, and the entire long street became quiet. Luo Sanniang's pupils shrank. She could not hear anything other than the sound of her own breathing in the cold winter.
She turned her head with difficulty to look at Ouyang Xiaoyi and Yang Chen. The two of them kept opening and closing their mouths, as if they were saying something, but Luo Sanniang could not hear a single word.
At the end of the long street, a man draped in a crane feather cloak slowly walked forward with his hands clasped behind his back.
With every step he took, Luo Sanniang felt the pressure on her abruptly increase. The scenery around her became dim, and the only thing left in her eyes was the leisurely walking man.
"Zhao... Zhao Musheng?!"
Luo Sanniang's red lips slightly opened as she shouted the name in shock. However, she found that she could not make a single sound. Her delicate body was slightly trembling, suppressed by the pressure to the point that she could not even move.
With his hands clasped behind his back, Zhao Musheng slowly and leisurely walked in front of Luo Sanniang. His eyes were as vast as the sea, as if there was a Buddha's light circulating within them.
Luo Sanniang blankly stared at Zhao Musheng. The latter's lips slightly curled up, and he stepped past her. Holding Yang Chen and Ouyang Xiaoyi's hands, one step at a time, they disappeared from the long street of the imperial city...
Bang!
Luo Sanniang's eyes widened as she knelt on the ground powerlessly. Her towering chest constantly heaved up and down in an extremely exaggerated manner.
The clamor in her ears returned, and the cold wind was still howling. Snowflakes fell quietly and landed on Luo Sanniang's loose black hair. She didn't know when her Genuine Qi barrier had collapsed.
The Imperial Capital was shaken. The Ouyang and Yang families, the two giants, had announced their support for the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne. For the Imperial Capital, which was already surging with undercurrents, this was equivalent to a great earthquake.
The nobles, who were still wavering, began to take sides one after another. Most of them chose to support the crown prince, Ji Chengan.
The number of influential officials supporting King Yu had greatly decreased. With the support of the two giants, the Ouyang family and the Yang family, the crown prince's ascension to the throne had become even more assured. Once the crown prince ascended to the throne, King Yu would basically have no chance of turning the tables.
That was because there was still another influential family in the imperial city, the Xiao family. General Xiao Meng had long announced that he would only support the emperor. This meant that unless they used some special methods, the Xiao family would not support either the crown prince or King Yu.
King Yu's manor.
King Yu, Ji Chengyu's expression darkened. He slammed his palm down and shattered the entire table into pieces. The aura around his body became extremely gloomy.
"That damned Zhao Musheng! That wretched old fox didn't make any moves earlier on. I thought he was going to be a bystander as well. I didn't expect him to pull such a stunt! Damn it! Damn it!! "
In the room, Hun Qianyun, who was wrapped in a black robe, looked at the furious King Yu and faintly smiled. "King Yu, there's no need to get angry. Humans will always make mistakes. The fact that Zhao Musheng was able to become the Minister of the Left shows how cunning he is. However, even if the crown prince has the support of the Ouyang and Yang families, we might still be able to put up a fight."
King Yu took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anger within him. He looked at Hun Qianyun and signaled him to continue speaking.
"We have already roped in quite a number of ministers from the imperial court, including the Minister of Finance. With the Minister of Finance, we will be able to control the economy of the imperial city. Furthermore, the White Bone Palace and the Joyous Union Sect of the four major devil sects have also sent experts to support King Yu. In terms of high-end combat power, as long as Xiao Meng doesn't make a move, we will be able to suppress the crown prince," Hun Qianyun said.
"The White Bone Palace and the Joyous Union Sect?" King Yu's eyes instantly narrowed. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's and as sharp as a knife as he stared at Hun Qianyun.
However, Hun Qianyun remained calm and collected as he calmly looked at King Yu.
"When did I say I needed the support of the White Bone Palace and the Joyous Union Sect? You four sects of the devil sects are really on the same side … "King Yu said with a sneer.
Hun Qianyun lightly smiled as he shook his head. "It's no longer the four sects of the devil sects. The Death Soul Palace was wiped out by Emperor Changfeng and suffered a great loss. They can no longer be considered as one of the four major devil sects. However, King Yu has the support of the three major devil sects. Don't tell me you don't have the confidence to sit on the throne?"
"You sure are confident," King Yu said as he narrowed his eyes.
"Likewise." The will-o '-the-wisp in Hun Qianyun's sunken eye sockets pulsated.
...
Bu Fang carefully peeled off the Wandering Dragon Cow's small intestine. The transparent and elastic small intestine skin was extremely suitable for making sausage casings.
That was right, Bu Fang was planning to make sausages. This was a delicacy that Bu Fang was extremely fond of back on Earth. When a truly well-made sausage was cooked, its aroma would definitely be so rich that it would make one swallow their tongue.
However, the sausage that Bu Fang was making this time was not an ordinary sausage. Just the ingredients alone were several hundred times better than an ordinary sausage. Only Bu Fang would be extravagant enough to use the seventh grade Wandering Dragon Cow's meat to make sausages.
After making the sausage casings, Bu Fang first placed the sausage casings to the side. Then, he took out some of the spirit herbs that he picked in the Valley of the Fallen Phoenix from the system's storage space. The grade of these spirit herbs was not as high as the Phoenix Blood Herb, but they were still overflowing with spirit energy and were rather precious.
The Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife spun like a falling meteor as it chopped up these spirit herbs. Due to the unique characteristics of the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, the medicinal properties of these spirit herbs were perfectly preserved. After mixing the spirit herbs and the diced meat together for a while, Bu Fang added some seasonings and took out the sausage casings.
He took out some rock candy. This was a special rock candy provided by the system. Every piece was as beautiful as a gem. However, this beauty was quickly crushed by Bu Fang's kitchen knife. After mixing the rock candy into the minced meat, Bu Fang started stuffing the minced meat into the sausage casings.
With the help of true energy, stuffing the minced meat was rather easy. As long as Bu Fang channeled his true energy, the sausage casings would swell up and he could easily stuff the minced meat inside. When the entire sausage casings were filled, Bu Fang used the intestines to cut them into individual sausages.
Looking at the swollen sausages, rich spirit energy was even seeping out from the sausage casings. Even before they were cooked, a fragrance was already wafting in the air.
This fragrance was not the fragrance of the meat, but the fragrance of the spirit herbs mixed within.
Bu Fang was quite satisfied. There were about twenty or so sausages in each piece. There was only so much of these sausages. Once they were all sold out, there would be no more.
After all, there was only one seventh grade Wandering Dragon Cow and it only had one small intestine...
As Bu Fang imagined the fragrance that would be emitted after he deep-fried the sausages, he could not help but salivate. He could not wait to give it a try.
However, there was no point in being impatient. The sausages that had just been processed still needed to be air-dried for a few days. Therefore, Bu Fang hung the sausages in the cabinet provided by the system. This cabinet had the effect of speeding up the air-drying process. It was the same principle that sped up the fermentation time of the Nine Brewing Wine Method.
After closing the cabinet, Bu Fang let out a long sigh. There was some anticipation in his heart. After all, this was the first time he cooked a dish that was not provided by the system.
"System, how much would my sausages cost after they are cooked?" Bu Fang curiously asked the system.
