29. Oni’s Royal Dining Room
"This is it."
"Yes, it's here."
Two burly men, one with a knife and the other with a stick, stopped in front of a kitchen.
The two looked at each other.
"Brother Zhang, your family's secret skill of whirlwind ring slashing is fierce and domineering. You are a tyrant in Hejian! Don't be polite when you come up. When you see that ghost, you will split it into six pieces with three swords! Give him a hard blow of!"
"Brother Li, your master's Cross Soul Chasing Stick is not bad either. Cross Soul Chasing, the person hit will be dizzy and unable to fight back. When I see him soon, needless to say, I will hit him with a stick!"
"Hit the motherfucker."
"Hit the motherfucker!"
The two of them were impassioned and full of momentum. But it took quite a while.
"...Then why don't you go in?"
"Nonsense, there is a ghost inside, who wants to go in first?"
"If you want to be shameless, don't you mean three cuts and six cuts?"
"You said it was just a stick! Are you shameless?"
The two people were having a heated argument, and a faint sound came from inside the door.
"Where do you think there is a ghost?"
This was probably the first and last thing I said to them.
What follows is a period of pleasant slapping.
Where did these people come from?
I looked at this person on the ground with confusion... and the dozens of men in black that I had casually knocked down before. These people were wearing night clothes, and you could tell at a glance that they were not good people. There is no one who dares to walk in and out of the palace with such arrogance. No one is so brave.
Suddenly, the aroma hit his nostrils. Doctor Dai was holding a plate of snacks. He didn't know what they were, but they were steaming hot and made people salivate.
Doctor Dai was respectful and said with a smile: "There are freshly steamed snacks here. Take a look at this...do you get it?" Ever since I taught him a few acupuncture points about the mind, he seemed to have recognized that I was his. The second master, and it has been like this ever since. But he's basically harmless except for being a medical geek, so it's okay to leave him alone.
"Okay, thank you." I took the snack and took a bite. The fragrance lingered on my teeth and cheeks. It was indeed produced by the Imperial Kitchen!
Yes.
I took the unconscious Su Xiao, and under the leadership of Imperial Physician Dai, I came to the imperial dining room - to eat secretly!
Cough, cough, cough, don't look at me with contempt! I actually came here to think about the whole thing... Why didn't I find the elbow? Bad review!
I reluctantly put together the ready-made food I could find, and it was enough for me to eat, so I sat on the edge and started chewing slowly. Su Xiao slept happily next to the boiler, seeming to be dreaming of something beautiful.
"Guhehe...Brother Ming, I must have scared you..."
Su Xiao seemed to be dreaming about me, and she didn’t know what she was doing, and she smiled sweetly.
"It's snowing so heavily, why are you drinking outside?" Su Xiao hugged the firewood and turned her face slightly, "You are so timid, you are so scared that you cry."
…
What? ! Lidya Su was so arrogant in her dream? I wiped a handful of boiler ash with my fingers and quietly made a few strokes on Su Xiao's pretty face...
Ahem, it’s time to do something serious.
I cleaned my hands, took a piece of finely made pancake, rolled it with chives, coriander, and sauce, and stuffed the roll into my mouth... It should be a certainty that I was invited by the Orange King to rebel. Although the Orange King seems unreliable, his actions this time are eye-catching.
The close interlocking of its action steps and the sophistication of its arrangement are simply amazing. I think the people in Feiyuping are still under the control of the Orange King. This is probably due to Mingtu's strength and their behavior.
As the second best killer in the Killing Alliance, Mingtu is not just about his extraordinary strength. The way they laid it out was incredible.
Before the imperial competition, the Thirteen Black Wind Wings began to kill Qilin guards one after another to divert attention. Not only was it diverting attention, but it was also testing the strength of the imperial court. And I accidentally discovered the identity of the Thirteen Black Wind Wings, and was immediately regarded as one of the targets to be eliminated. When I came to visit him again, he used his plan to make me feel at ease as the contact person of the assassination alliance, and gradually drew me into the game to form a murderous trap.
This layout should be reflected throughout the entire operation.
Take this dining room as an example. No matter how busy it is today, not all of the kitchen staff will be missing. This is still a catering place, and they may have to provide food and drinks for Feiyuping at all times, but not only is there no one here, there is even a lot of prepared food left, as if they were called out halfway through the work.
And... what he eats doesn't seem to be normal either.
"Mr. Dai, look at this pancake. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Doctor Dai was still thinking about the new knowledge he had just learned. He was stunned for a long time before he came over. He took the pancake and smelled it. He frowned and said: "The smell is faint and vague, but I can be sure that there is a strong poison in it." An anesthetic. And the formula is strange and difficult to dissolve... This is either Tears of Thorns or Zhuihun Powder."
"It's tears of thorns."
I took a bun and chewed a few more bites. Well, yes, it was Tears of Thorns. Tears of thorns are a specialty of Yuntian Palace in the Demon Realm. Once a person in the martial arts drinks it, the medicine will take effect after a while, and the true energy of the Dantian will be blocked. It will be like being bound by thorns, and the slightest movement will be painful.
I swallowed it and reached for another glass of wine.
The cup looks like it is made of white jade, and is beautiful and incomparable. One hundred and eighty glasses of palace jade liquor! How about this wine? Let me blow it for you... I took a sip.
,oh! This is delicious!
It seems that the Tears of Thorns are the Orange King's means of controlling Feiyuping.
Fuxiang Zhongning is here, Yuye and Kuangtian should not be far away. Compared to Kuang Tian, Fu Xiang and Zhong Ning who move around the world more often, Yu Ye has always been more mysterious. Regarding this rainy night's deeds, Black and White Journal only mentioned it in the past few issues, saying that he might join the palace and become an imperial guard. I don’t know if it’s true or false.
Mingtu will not fight an uncertain battle. Since the Orange King wants to usurp the throne, passing on the national jade seal and the emperor's edict are indispensable. These men in black are running around in the palace. They are definitely not jogging in the morning. They should be preparing for the future situation. It seems that how to obtain these two things will be another admirable trick set by Mingtu.
Fu Xiang's stupid face suddenly appeared in my mind. That guy looks clumsy, but in fact, as long as he is careful and given time, he can come up with complex and sophisticated plans. He is a guy who should not be underestimated.
I closed my eyes and thought about the possibilities of what would happen next. But there is always no clear reference.
The most worrying thing is the situation in Feiyuping. With the boss's character, he will definitely treat Orange King without any pretense. If they accidentally get into a quarrel, Orange King is not a person who will show mercy to others.
I picked up the wine and took a sip. Suddenly my mouth was full of sweetness. I felt that the wine was fragrant and slightly sweet. When I first drank this wine, I didn’t think it was so sweet in the second sip. I tasted it carefully and found that it was not the aroma of wine, but a mixture of medicinal wine.
etc! Tears of Thorns are nearly colorless and odorless and will not have this effect. This wine seems to not only bring tears of thorns, but also other medicines!
I drank a few more sips and found out what kind of medicine it was. Suddenly I had a new perspective on the whole thing. Is that so... I pondered for a while and said to Doctor Dai: "Mr. Dai, it seems that there will be more and more people here. You go back to Yaoyuanzi first. I have some things to do."
"Oh?" Doctor Dai's eyes flashed and he glanced around, "Haven't all these things been eaten?"
"I mean get down to business!"
