Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 442 Chef Wu Man
Wang Luzhong didn't expect Xiao Ran to really dare to attack him. Seeing the kick coming towards him, his eyes flashed red. With his other hand, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and chopped towards Xiao Ran's kick.

But before Wang Luzhong's knife could fall, he suddenly felt a chill in front of his eyes.

Before he could see clearly, a loud slap had already landed on his face.

With a "Pa!" sound, Wang Luzhong's eyes blurred and his whole face was deformed. He saw stars and couldn't even hold the knife in his hand steadily, let alone chop Xiao Ran.

The person who made the move was Gao Yuting who was beside Xiao Ran.

As a couple, of course they should fight together.

What kind of chivalry can be discussed with this scum who practices the Blood Transformation Sutra?

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran kicked Wang Luzhong accurately in the crotch.

Instantly, everyone felt a chill in their crotch, and they were all horrified when they saw the mask of pain on Wang Luzhong's face.

But Xiao Ran and Gao Yuting did not stop. Since Li Jie said that it was okay as long as they couldn't kill him, they just beat him to death.

Xiao Ran grabbed Wang Luzhong's arm with one hand, grabbed him with a set of grappling moves, and pressed Wang Luzhong to the ground. Gao Yuting's fists were not to be trifled with either, and she punched Wang Luzhong in the face.

Every punch hits the flesh, making a loud noise.

The diners around were stunned. They had never seen anyone so shameless.

Li Jie, who was standing by, even twitched his mouth. He really didn't expect that these two people could be so cruel.

As the son of a duke, Wang Luzhong naturally had to be accompanied by guards. Unfortunately, Wang Luzhong came here to have dinner today, relying on his status, he did not expect that someone would actually dare to beat him up.

Now, a dignified duke was beaten like a sandbag by this couple.

Seeing that someone would die if they continued to fight, Li Jie hurriedly stopped the two men and said, "That's enough."

Hearing Li Jie's shout, Xiao Ran and Gao Yuting looked at each other and then stopped.

Throwing the person to the ground, Xiao Ran took out a wet wipe from the space to wipe the blood off Gao Yuting's hands.

Xiao Ran spit at Wang Luzhong and said loudly, "With such a little skill, you dare to plot against our prince."

After saying that, he and Gao Yuting stood silently behind Li Jie, looking like running dogs of Li Jie's palace.

Li Jie's face turned green.

I just came here to eat, why are you using me as a shield?

However, Li Jie still enjoyed the horrified looks from the crowd.

Although Eunuch Li was with her before, he never took the initiative to take action.

Even if he suffered a loss on a daily basis, he would just say, "Your Highness, take a step back and everything will be fine. Be patient and the sky will be clear."

It’s not as refreshing as it is today.

He immediately raised his head, kicked Wang Luzhong on the ground, and then walked upstairs in a swagger.

"Sir, are we being too high-profile?"

The second in command followed behind and whispered.

After all, there are many experts and good and bad people in Chang'an City now. What the second in command means is that it would be more convenient for them to hide behind Li Jie and use Li Jie's identity as a cover. Why should they attract so much attention?

Xiao Ran didn't explain after hearing this.

It's right to be high-profile. Just as the second in command said, there are so many masters in Chang'an City. There is no point in being low-key.

Will the sword review participate or not? If you participate, how can you keep a low profile?

On the contrary, the more high-profile the two are, the more they can be tied to Li Jie. When the time comes, when they commit crimes... bah, if they are chivalrous and righteous, no one will suspect them.

Moreover, Li Jie has been a little distracted since he came back. If Xiao Ran and Gao Yuting don't give him a warning today, when they are halfway through their work, this guy suddenly becomes cowardly and stabs them in the back. No one can bear it.

Besides, there aren't many opportunities to beat someone up in such a fair and open manner, so why miss it?

As for whether this will cause any trouble.

That's another matter. Now is not the time to worry about these things.

What is coming will come even if you hide. You are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. I will give you a reward for your innate cowardice. Just go home and farm and have children. Why come out to venture into the world?

When they arrived at the private room, Li Jie closed the door and looked at Xiao Ran and Gao Yuting with a bitter face: "You fought very well this time, can you not do it like this next time?"

"What? You can't hold it?"

Xiao Ran sat down and looked at the room. It was a large private room with an octagonal table and soft beds behind the screen for people to rest. It felt a bit like a business club.

"I can handle it. As long as no one gets killed, my title of prince is still useful."

The dynasty was founded on military power, and from the founding of the country to the present, there has been no case of killing generals after their work is done, as happened during the reign of Emperor Hongwu. Therefore, the military spirit is very strong, and private fights between the aristocratic families are common. As long as no one is killed or disabled, it doesn't matter even if the injury is so severe that the general has to lie in bed for several months.

As long as the common people don't use hoes to beat others, the government won't care about it and can't intervene.

"That's fine, but then again, you are an idle prince, you should also think about how to live your life in the future. Don't always think that you can get away with anything. If you don't prepare yourself early, who can save you when the day comes when the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart?"

Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and said to Li Jie.

Li Jie's face turned pale and blue after hearing this, but he couldn't refute Xiao Ran.

He just said unconvincedly: "Who knows when the sky will fall and the earth will split?"

"No one can tell which will come first, an accident or tomorrow. The only difference is that some people can face accidents calmly, while others can only wait to die. We are all in the same boat now, so don't always think about getting yourself out of it. We will protect you without hesitation, but if you are not willing to take responsibility for anything..."

Xiao Ran said so much just to point out Li Jie. After all, they have to stand behind Li Jie, and many things need Li Jie to take care of. If this guy just wants to live a life of idleness and wait for death, Xiao Ran really has to think about finding someone else to cooperate with.

Gao Yuting sat next to Xiao Ran and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be so anxious, the prince is actually a good person. I heard that in the sword reviews, gambling and fighting between the aristocratic families have always been popular. The prince can also take this opportunity to make a lot of money. Even if he has no power, he can't be without money."

The second in command stood aside, watching the couple take turns brainwashing Li Jie, and couldn't help but look at Li Jie sideways.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, it would be a lie for Li Jie to say that he was not moved. It was just that ever since Eunuch Li was killed last time, he had been like a dog with a broken spine, and he was extremely timid.

"Your Majesty!"

The second in command came to Li Jie and said, "The Amazing Pavilion has a lot of intelligence and news. This is a good opportunity. At the very least, I can help you make some arrangements. Let's change a governor and transfer him out. It will be better than being a loser here."

Perhaps it was because the Second In Command deliberately lowered his voice that made Li Jie think of Eunuch Li, and his vigilance began to relax.

Moreover, the weight of the three words "Amazing Pavilion" really made Li Jie excited. The Amazing Pavilion possessed intelligence on a large number of officials and its power was indeed considerable.

If such power is willing to help me...

It is said that the head follows the butt, which is absolutely true. Although Li Jie is not a decisive and ruthless man, when Xiao Ran throws enough benefits to him, this guy's thinking slowly changes from the mentality of just eating and waiting to die and not involving me to becoming proactive and active.

"I understand, but... I still say the same thing. I will help you with whatever I can handle in the open, but you can't involve me in anything that is not allowed to be seen in the open."

Xiao Ran and Gao Yuting exchanged glances tacitly and nodded sincerely, but no one took the matter seriously in their hearts.

After getting on the pirate ship, you still want to leave room for yourself? ?

As things develop step by step, the time will come when you either go ashore or drown in the water. From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of anyone getting off the boat halfway and having a good ending.

Li Jie watched naively as Xiao Ran and Gao Yuting agreed, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He urged the people outside to serve the food quickly, as he was already so hungry that he could not stand it anymore.

For this kind of private room, the dishes have already been fixed. When the waiter outside the door hears the order to serve the dishes, he only needs to give the order and the dishes will be brought up one after another.

As soon as the door opened and the first dish was served, the familiar aroma drifted into Xiao Ran's nostrils, causing a hint of confusion in his eyes, and then he took a closer look.

"Fish-flavored shredded pork?"

"Hey, sir, have you eaten this before? This is a new dish in our restaurant. Outsiders don't know the name of this dish."

The guy serving the dishes also looked surprised, as he hadn't even announced the names of the dishes yet, so why did the other person call them out for him?

Everyone also looked up at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran looked at the dish on the table, and an idea came to his mind. He said to the waiter, "I have a friend who can also cook this dish. I wonder who your chef is. Can you take me to meet him?"

"This……"

Xiao Ran stood up and walked to the waiter. "I haven't seen this friend for a long time. Maybe we already know each other. Brother, please help me."

Seeing Xiao Ran stuffing a heavy piece of silver into his arms, the curve of the clerk's lips was so high that even a weight could not suppress it.

"Okay, okay, please come this way."

"I'm going to go out for a while, you guys eat first."

Xiao Ran winked at Yu Ting. Gao Yu Ting, who was about to pick up her chopsticks, immediately understood and put them down. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Go early and come back early. If you encounter any difficulties, give them a warning."

Kanzi means trouble, and Leixiang means signal.

Gao Yuting obviously misunderstood Xiao Ran's meaning, but Xiao Ran didn't explain. Anyway, it's better not to eat the dish for now. Who knows what Wu Man used to cook the dish.

Xiao Ran followed the waiter downstairs to the kitchen. Before he walked in, he heard a familiar voice.

"You are a bunch of idiots. Shredded pork with fish flavor needs to be cooked at the right time. It's a waste of food to cook this dish like this. Make it again for me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Ran couldn't help but quicken his pace. He walked quickly to the kitchen door and took a closer look.

Wu Man was seen holding a teapot in one hand, pointing at the food that the cook had just cooked, and sitting on a chair with a dark face, cursing. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, and he cursed with a smile: "You guy, it turns out that you are hiding here to enjoy yourself..."
