In another quiet room, the young warrior respectfully took three steps back on his knees, bowed his head again, and said goodbye to the old man of the Luming Hall, "Then, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me."
"You're welcome, we're all part of the government, it's only right to take care of each other. Mr. Jiujing is so young, the future matters will depend on you."
The old minister also responded with a smile on his face, without any mistakes or omissions, and the arrogance of the people of the capital could not be seen.
Only after he saw Jiujing leave, did the smile on his face gradually fade.
"He's a good young man, isn't he?"
He said to himself.
In the shadow behind him, a blurry outline appeared, responding to the lord's words, "In my opinion, he is indeed dignified."
"But, his eyes are like a fox's."
Recalling that pair of slender eyes, the old minister lowered his eyes and frowned.
This did not mean that he was as cunning as a fox, or so charming.
It was just that he had an uneasy prejudice. No matter how upright and solemn he looked, he always felt that pair of eyes always had an indescribable evil aura … …
Like a crack that led to the darkness.
"But in the end, the saying that you can judge people by their eyes and faces is unreliable. This is nothing more than my own conjecture. It would be a joke to reject such a talent because of this. "
He paused for a moment, then suddenly said in a loud voice, "Watch him."
The servant in the shadow nodded in response.
Warriors were lackeys.
Just like what Jiaoshan once said, no matter how dignified it was, the mission of a warrior was to walk for the lord. Whether it was fighting on the battlefield or cutting off future troubles, it was their duty.
This was the essence that could not be covered up by the [Ye Yin's Tale] and the [Book of Five Wheels].
After the layers of halo and the so-called morality were stripped away, only the part that belonged to the 'heart stick' could represent itself.
Thugs, bodyguards, soldiers … …
To the government, they were just dogs.
However, there were many types of dogs. Loyal dogs, fierce dogs, crazy dogs, useless dogs, dogs that betrayed their owners … There were also dogs like Quan Jiang, who was a loathsome guard dog.
While pondering, her husband suddenly raised his head and ordered the servant outside the house, "Later, take my nameplate and go to see Inu Jiang Zongzhuan … Tell him that I have long admired the Rijian Clan. I have heard that the Rijian Clan has hidden a secret treasure of the Yatsufusa. I want to see it."
"Yes."
The servant outside the room turned around and ran away.
In the silence, no one spoke.
.
.
The car door opened, and Hu Po saw Guo Shouque's old face with a strange smile.
Holding his little teapot, he clicked his tongue and sighed, "It's good to be young. It reminds me of when I was young … Sure enough, you should find a partner when you're young. It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, as long as you're happy!"
Hu Po felt helpless once again.
He had no choice. He really couldn't deal with this old bastard.
So, just like how the Egyptian genealogy produced orthopedics, the Roman genealogy produced perverts, and the Russian Federation genealogy loved little boys … … Could it be that the Dongxia genealogy produced this kind of headache-inducing old monster?
She thought about Lu Wu, Mystic Bird, Judas, and Emperor Qing … …
Hu Po's head began to hurt.
"Whatever you say." She leaned against the car seat and sighed heavily.
"Don't be so lethargic. When you're young, you should go out more often and get some sun. Once you're old, you won't want to move anymore. You'll just sit in your little room day after day. The only thing you can talk about is cooking."
Guo Shouque sipped the tea from the teapot that seemed to never be finished. He looked at her disheveled appearance and gloated, "You seem to be very annoyed by your work."
Hu Po shrugged, "Who says I'm not? There are so many things to do, and I'm afraid of breaking the vases. In the end, it's a mess … … "
Guo Shouque shook his head, "I'm talking about Hu Po."
"It's' Hu Po '!" The girl raised her voice, "I'm Er Zhu Zi, little flower. Can you please respect the traditions of Yingzhou and not call me like a northeastern child?"
The old man curled his lips, "It's just a title. With your age, even my granddaughter looks old. Isn't it the same if you call me Hu Po or Nannan … …" He paused for a moment and asked, "You're talking about that Jie Cui Murderous Demon. Is he strong?"
"… …" Hu Po wanted to say something but hesitated. She sighed helplessly, "It's not a matter of whether he's strong or not. He's very troublesome."
"How troublesome?"
"No matter who the other party is, right now, this is clearly a method used to stir up trouble and interrupt the Rijian family's master selection … … Before the Culinary Demon Trial is over, who knows what kind of trouble will be caused. “
"What's more, that idiot Rijian Bujing died in that kind of place, giving the Luming Hall the best excuse. They can't wait for the Rijian family to admit that the situation is out of control and then fully take over.
That old man Inu Jiang brought out the old rules and held some Culinary Demon Trial. It's a hindrance to them. "
Hu Po rubbed her brows and sighed regretfully, "I'm afraid this is just a prelude. Soon, the current Rijian family will gradually become a battlefield between the Gong family and the Wu family."
She could foresee that that day was very close.
At that time, Nara would definitely become a huge whirlpool … …
"That's why I envy you young people."
Guo Shouque laughed ambiguously and asked again, "Under such circumstances, how long do you think the Imperial Culinary Demon Trial will last?"
Hu Po thought for a moment and replied, "It's half over now, but they should be more cautious later. If they want to really get to the bottom of it, it'll take at least a month, right?"
"A month? Then wouldn't the kimchi I pickled before I left be spoiled?
Guo Shouque frowned in shock.
"That's why you should stop thinking about your kimchi at a time like this, okay? Besides, it's only a month. It's fine to just leave the kimchi there. "
"Other kimchi are fine, but mine isn't. The Culinary Demon's blood also has a shelf life. If I wait until next month, where am I going to find so much Culinary Demon's blood to exchange for water?"
"… …" Hu Po rolled her eyes and was speechless.
"That's why I say it's good to be young. Everything can be done slowly."
Guo Shouque sighed and said sincerely, "When people get old, they will know that time is precious. They won't be willing to waste too much time on meaningless things.
What's precious is not patience, but decisiveness. "
"Only people who don't have much time left will understand how precious time and efficiency are."
He put down the teapot and suddenly said, "Little Hu, about that Naming Duel, help me arrange it."
Hu Po sighed helplessly. She didn't have the energy to fix it anymore. She only asked, "Who do you want to name?"
"Do you have a list?"
Hu Po took out a few books from the bag behind the car seat. He looked through them casually and handed over a document. Guo Shouque took it and flipped it open. Including the introduction, it was only two simple pages.
The old man took out a page and pointed at the name at the very front.
"This?" Hu Po glanced at it. "The general of the Undermountain Cuisine? This guy is very weak. Are you planning to bully him? "
"No, I mean, other than this."
Guo Shouque picked up the list seriously and pointed it at Hu Po's face. He said seriously, "Other than this guy who can't even be brought to the table, name everyone else."
"Seven, all of them?"
"All of them."
Guo Shouque said calmly, "They're all just a bunch of people who want to fish in troubled waters. Instead of letting them waste this old man's time, why don't I just get rid of them."
Hu Po was stunned.
"But … … but this is … … too … …"
"Too what? Exaggerated? I don't think so. " The corners of Guo Shouque's mouth slowly curled up. His wrinkled face revealed a smile unique to a predator. "There are only seven dishes of this level. Do you think this old man can't finish them all?"
In the silence, a malevolent malice that came from the abyss appeared in those pitch-black eyes.
"There's a method called cutting the Gordian knot. No matter what they do, as long as the competition is over, the result will be unshakable. Since you know it's going to rain soon, shouldn't the most important thing be to put away the clothes first? "
He was smiling, full of anticipation.
After he shed his usual disguise of being old and kind, what was revealed was the madness and malevolence that was brewed from countless demonic culinary skills.
He had once gone deep into Paradise and didn't become a dish on a plate. Instead, he was a terrifying existence that escaped unscathed from the Rancher.
"There's no need to be so serious, right?" Hu Po was stunned.
"This is professionalism, Little Hu."
He said matter-of-factly, "Aren't I here to cook? Before they mess up my competition, why don't you let me have some fun first? "
When this abnormal sense of hunger could no longer be concealed.
The biggest monster in this trial of the Imperial Culinary Demon issued a challenge to all the opponents.
.
"One against seven?"
In the evening, Huai Shi, who received the news, didn't feel good, "Is it that exaggerated?"
"Yes, it's that exaggerated." Hu Po said tiredly on the phone, "The old man was impatient. He wanted to have some fun before someone decided to flip the table. In the end, he moved his mouth and I ran my legs … Isn't the position of the agent and the employer reversed? "
"Do you need to change the agent? I want to recommend a famous idol culinary demon — Mr. Huai Shi. He's good, doesn't stick to people, does things for money, and absolutely won't cause any trouble. "
"Okay, you go and fight with him? Whoever wins gets the job. "
"… Forget it."
The corner of Huai Shi's eyes twitched.
Even if he had seen an overly powerful opponent like Eliza, Huai Shi still couldn't see through Old Guo's depth. That old guy hadn't used his real strength since the beginning of the competition. He could be said to be unfathomable.
At this time, he was still glad that he hadn't been selected. How could he be so reckless as to deliver food to the door?
Miss Huai Shi was very gentlemanly. Jumping into a frying pan or something, forget it.
"So, one against seven, things like taking turns to fight … You really settled it?"
"After all, the employers are some small characters who can only muddy the water if they stay. It's not difficult to get something on them or give them a reward that they can't refuse … It's just that my legs hurt from running."
Huai Shi thought for a long time and said seriously, "… Hu Po, I sell my body, not my skills. Forget about massaging my legs."
Bang.
The sound of the phone being squeezed came from the other end.
"Do I care!"
"I'm afraid you'll think too much. Misunderstandings have to be explained clearly, right?" Huai Shi casually said, "Then, what's the specific time? What time? "
"Tonight."
Before Hu Po hung up the phone, he told him, "In an hour."
