The thirtyth day of the first lunar month, night.

The lights are brightly lit in the middle of Chang'an, people come and go, and wine, food and water are constantly served on the table.

The restaurant's kitchen is still filled with oil smoke and is dim and yellow.

Several workers were washing vegetables and washing rice, and the masters were all busy working hard in the smoke and fire.

Compared to the brightness and glory of the restaurant, this place seems a bit dim.

Many things are like this. If there is a bright side, there will be a dim side.

But glamorous and bright does not mean respect or noble; the character of those old men who sit in restaurants and eat and drink and waste at will may not be as good as that of these diligent and willing chefs.

At least Gao Jianfei thought so.

In his heart, the wealthy people sitting outside were not as good as Su Weiyun.

So he came to find Su Weiyun.

Su Weiyun put down the spatula in his hand and asked, "Have you decided to fight Sima Chaoqun?"

Gao Jianfei looked very tired and down. He didn't say anything, but handed Su Weiyun a post.

February 1st, morning.

Ci'en Temple, Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Sima Chaoqun.

Please give me a letter to war, it is simple and clear.

Su Weiyun said: "On the first day of the second month, it's tomorrow? Your condition doesn't seem to be very good. Why don't you change the time?"

He saw that Gao Jianfei was in a bad mood, but he didn't know what caused it.

Gao Jianfei's eyes suddenly lit up, but then they darkened again and said, "I invited the battle first. If I take the initiative to postpone it, wouldn't it be timid?"

Su Weiyun smiled and said, "So what if you are cowardly? It's better than dying from a battle. You are a person who practices swordsmanship in the mountains, so why do you still cherish your face? What's going on? I feel that you are out of your mind."

Gao Jianfei sighed: "Oh, I am because of a woman, a woman with long, thin and beautiful legs, and she and I..."

Su Weiyun looked at him carefully and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it. I'll ask for a leave of absence from the restaurant tomorrow morning and just accompany you."

Gao Jianfei looked up at Su Weiyun and said in surprise: "You...you...you...you really work as a chef in a restaurant?"

Su Weiyun laughed, held the pot handle, put the pot into the bowl, shouted loudly, "Xiao Zhang, three-point cotton, seven-point shredded green pepper and pork are ready, come and pick up the dishes!"

A shy boy came in and picked up the big bowl and walked out quickly.

Su Weiyun smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with cooking. I might open a noodle restaurant in the future."

Gao Jianfei suddenly showed a very envious look and said, "I would have loved it if I could be like you."

······

February 1st.

Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

In the third year of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang presided over the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which was originally the fifth floor and later changed to the seventh floor.

The seven-story Big Wild Goose Pagoda is covered with thin snow.

Before dawn, Su Weiyun and Gao Jianfei came to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda early. They were worried that Sima Chaoqun would set up an ambush around, so they came to check in advance.

Su Weiyun flew around like a light swallow, and the eagle looked around and finally returned to its original place.

"Sima Chaoqun is probably the number one gang in the neighborhood of Chang'an City. He will not use tricks, so he can't afford to lose this person. So don't worry."

Gao Jianfei nodded in a daze, still lost his soul and could not lift his energy.

He was like a teapot was drained from tea, and he was empty and could not even think.

Su Weiyun looked at him and couldn't help but sigh secretly - Gao Jianfei's strength in such a state is probably not even able to reach the original 70%!

The wind gradually stopped.

The snow started falling last night and finally stopped now.

As the snow stopped, Su Weiyun saw Zhuo Donglai and Sima Chaoqun slowly walking over.

Zhuo Donglai was still wearing a purple robe and a purple jade crown on his head. He was always so noble and would never have any vulgarity.

Sima Chaoqun is different.

Strong and handsome, mighty and generous, with clear black and white.

His clothes were clearly black and white, and his eyes were even more distinct black and white.

Two distinct bright colors, snow-white and pitch-black, appeared on him at the same time, very harmonious and uncontradictory.

What Su Weiyun could see was that he must be clearly distinguished from black and white.

He is really like a hero!

Su Weiyun suddenly sighed: "I don't know why, although Sima Chaoqun is indeed majestic and domineering, I always have a strange feeling. I think Zhuo Donglai is the one who commands everything behind the scenes."

Gao Jianfei said in surprise: "Do you think so too? I also think Zhuo Donglai is not an ordinary second-in-commander."

Su Weiyun smiled at Gao Jianfei and said, "So if you really want to challenge, you should challenge Zhuo Donglai, not Sima Chaoqun!"

As he said that, he had already walked forward and bowed to Sima Chaoqun in a regular manner.

"You're finally here."

Sima Chaoqun frowned and said, "Are you Gao Jianfei?"

Su Weiyun said: "I am not. I am his friend, a chef who lives in Chang'an."

Sima Chaoqun's eyes tightened and said, "You killed the wooden chicken?"

Su Weiyun said: "I didn't plan to kill anyone at first. But later I thought that if I didn't kill him, what should he do next time? So I had to really kill him as a chicken."

Zhuo Donglai gently shook off the snow on the sable fur and said slowly: "There are not many people in the world who dare to kill the wooden chicken as a chicken."

Su Weiyun said helplessly: "I am a chef and I don't have a keen worker to help me. Sometimes I have to kill the chickens myself."

"Hahaha."

Zhuo Donglai sneered three times and stopped talking.

Su Weiyun rubbed her hands and said to Sima Chaoqun: "Can we start?"

Sima Chaoqun said strangely: "Are you talking about 'we'?"

Su Weiyun said: "Yes. After I finish this fight, I have to go back to the restaurant as soon as possible, otherwise I will definitely be scolded."

Sima Chaoqun calmed down and said, "I came to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. I'm going to Gao Jianfei, not you. I don't even know what your name is."

Su Weiyun waved his hand and said, "It's all the same. My name is Su Weiyun. If you don't fight, you won't know each other. Next time you will remember it."

Zhuo Donglai suddenly said, "No!"

As soon as he said that, another voice sounded from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda: "I'll say yes!"

A faint gray shadow fell down, and before he could see who it was, he had already grabbed Gao Jianfei and carried him away.

The gray shadow flew by quickly, without a trace in a blink of an eye.

He only left a light sentence: "He is definitely not your opponent now, why can't he substitute him in the last battle?"

Su Weiyun and the other two saw only the gray shadow holding a box in their hands. Without seeing the others, he had disappeared without a trace.

Before the battle, Gao Jianfei was suddenly taken away by a mysterious man.

Su Weiyun, Sima Chaoqun and Zhuo Donglai all did not chase after him in a tacit understanding.

Zhuo Donglai stared at Su Weiyun and asked, "You can see that Gao Jianfei is definitely not Sima's opponent, so you are going to fight for him! But who is the person carrying the box?!"

It was the second time that they both saw this mysterious man carrying a box.

Su Weiyun spread her hands and said bluntly: "I don't know either."

He really doesn't know.

So Zhuo Donglai stopped asking, just said, "Sima, we can leave."

Sima Chaoqun said unhappily: "I have legs, can't I leave myself?"

Zhuo Donglai sneered: "Do you still want to fight with this cook?"

Sima Chaoqun said: "What if you don't fight?"

Zhuo Donglai kept silent.

It’s not because he couldn’t answer this question, but because he thought this question was too naive and he didn’t want to answer it again.

Su Weiyun looked at the two of them with a smile.

He had seen that the relationship between the two seemed very subtle.

Zhuo Donglai said coldly: "You must remember that you cannot defeat!"

Sima Chaoqun also said coldly: "Why do you think I will lose?"
