Half of the snow in Chang'an fell on the gilded stove of the Jade Food Building, and the other half stuck to the black iron sword spikes of the Zhenbei Army.
Shen Qingci's silver knife can cut open shad like brocade, and the "cook without fire" simmered in a cup of tea makes the emperor's relatives bend their waists; Ling Shuang's long sword can split ice and kill wolves, and decapitate people within ten steps. The sharp edge sharpened by the wind and sand in the north makes corrupt officials tremble.
When they first met, one was the most valuable captain in Chang'an City, and the other was a soldier who crawled back from the wolf's mouth. Silver and sharp swords were incompatible with each other. She thought she was covered in blood and soiled the dining table, she scolded her for forgetting the hatred of the country and the family because she was covered in makeup, but when they were investigating a widely implicated granary corruption case, they were forced to be tied together - she used her cooking skills to pry open the official's mouth, and she used force to break the lock of the deadlock. The stove smoke and the shadow of the sword actually formed a tacit understanding in the shadow of the culvert.
It wasn't until the half-pieces of ice lotus jade pendants met each other in the cold night that they were shocked to realize that one was adopted by a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River and learned cooking skills that soothed people's hearts; the other grew up with a general in the north and learned the skill of chopping mountains and cutting thorns. At that time, the family was in trouble, and the infant twins were separated. Across the prosperity of Chang'an and the wind and snow of Yanmen, they had been "enemies" for more than ten years.
The fire cannot warm the bloody knife, nor can the sword cut through the blood-lined rope. When Rouran's iron hoofs crush Yanmen Pass, and when the black hands of the court reach out to the Zhenbei Army, they will finally understand: the strongest wine needs to be paired with the roughest cake, and the sharpest sword needs to protect the warmest kitchen. Wherever a silver sword rises, it can create fireworks in the world; when a long sword is wielded, it can guard thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
And the secrets hidden in the flour and the concerns on the sword will eventually be revealed in the moonlight of Chang'an and the northern border.
