Ma Wenbing thought about it, thinking that the master should not go to visit friends, and it is not appropriate to visit friends so early, in fact, in the end, it is not difficult to think that the place where the master goes is nothing more than two places, one is the toilet, and the other is the imperial dining room to make breakfast for everyone.

Ma Wenbing immediately replied, "Let's wait, the master may have gone to the toilet." ”

Ma Wenbing explained this very together, life is nothing more than eating, drinking and Lazar, so Tianxiang and Liu Linger sat on the chairs, and Ma Wenbing also got up.

Ma Wenbing said: "Let's go to my room to talk, right? ”

What Ma Wenbing said was very reasonable, so the three of them returned to Ma Wenbing's room and began to speak.

The first thing Ma Wenbing wanted to ask was their results yesterday, although he knew what the results were, but he wanted to know what happened last night.

Tianxiang first said, "Where do you start? Just start with meeting the Guard? He gives me the feeling of being a very righteous and powerful person, by the way, Ling'er, what is your first feeling when you see the Guard?"

Liu Ling'er smiled and said, "My first feeling is very handsome, much more handsome than Ma Wenbing." ”

Liu Ling'er said this, in fact, she wanted to be angry with Ma Wenbing, and she didn't mean anything else, because she didn't give her a positive answer to the matter of not letting him stay.

"Is he handsome?" Tianxiang asked in surprise, "bearded, dark skin, Chinese face, I don't think it's handsome at all, Ling'er, you don't like that, right?"

Tianxiang couldn't believe Liu Ling'er's eyes, not to mention that the guard was twice as old as them, and his rough appearance alone was not enough at all.

Of course, Liu Linger didn't think that the Janissaries were very handsome, and she could be polite if she didn't say ugly, Liu Linger just wanted to see Ma Wenbing's reaction, but unfortunately what disappointed her was that Ma Wenbing didn't react, just like nothing happened, which made Liu Linger take a deep breath helplessly.

Ma Wenbing said, "Let's not talk about the appearance of the guard, let's talk about how he agreed to help, by the way, did you tell him about a few people in the Western Regions?"

Tianxiang replied, "Of course, this matter is related to the emperor's safety, and he can't help but be very cautious, but we have no evidence, he said that he can only wait and see what happens, and be prepared." ”

Ma Wenbing didn't understand, and asked what it means to wait and see what happens? Is it to watch things happen before taking action? Isn't it too late?

Tianxiang explained, "It's not too late, they'll check the dishes they've made, and there will be heavy guards outside the palace, and when the time comes, as long as their fox tails come out, they'll catch them, and none of them will be missed." ”

Ma Wenbing said, "This is the best, as for your affairs, is Lord He really sure?" I am always a little worried." ”

Liu Ling'er continued Ma Wenbing's words and said, "Didn't Lord He tell you, as long as you can get the first place, he will be sure this time, so you should ask if you are sure." ”

As soon as Liu Ling'er's words fell, Tianxiang asked, "Since you asked this, Wen Bing, I still want to ask you, how sure are you? Tell me the truth." ”

In fact, he said how sure Ma Wenbing is, about ninety percent sure, but the stakes are very high, Tianxiang asked again.

Ma Wenbing still replied: "It's still ninety percent sure." ”

"Last time, I also said that I was 90% sure, and now I am still 90% sure, but I don't dare to say that I am 10% sure, who are you afraid of now? Liu Ling'er asked.

Ma Wenbing replied, "Now the three people from the Western Regions have no problem, and they don't have to worry about the sweet soup in the east and the spicy soup in the north, but they are worried about the two chefs in the palace, and now they don't know anything about their details." ”

Liu Ling'er said: "Didn't this Lord He say it? Aren't you still unclear? Doesn't it mean that they are mediocre? What are you worried about?"

Ma Wenbing shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about their cooking skills, I'm just worried."

"What are you worried about them? Are you worried that the backstage is tough?" asked Amaka immediately.

Ma Wenbing nodded, "They came up by relationship, there must be a tough backstage, as long as the difference is not big, I'm afraid the outcome is still uncertain." ”

Tianxiang said, "The bad guys are nothing more than Gonggong Rui and the head of Xianyi, as long as the affairs of the Western Regions are revealed, they will be arrested, the two of them are like two bed bugs, so they don't have to worry about it, the most worried are those four people." ”

Ma Wenbing said: "Do you mean the soup that is sweet in the east and spicy in the west, and the soup in the north and in the south? The master has already told me about their works in each of their competitions, and I am very confident that I can defeat them." ”

Tianxiang asked, "Can you beat them just by relying on their past competitions?" ”

Ma Wenbing nodded, but he knew the details of those four people very well in his heart, thanks to a copy of "Foodie Big" given to him by Lao Bai, which had records related to the four of them.

Ma Wenbing didn't and didn't expect that Mr. Bai Yu knew the famous four people very well, and the records in that book were very clear, so Ma Wenbing had such great confidence.

While everyone was talking, a few people came from outside and entered the courtyard, all dressed as eunuchs, they were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they must have announced the food contest.

Tianxiang said, "Uncle Liu is not here now, Wen Bing, the three of us go out, hurry over and see what happened." ”

Liu Ling'er said, "Daddy doesn't know what to do, it doesn't seem to be going to the toilet, no, I have to go to the imperial dining room to find it, you two go over first to see what happened." ”

Ma Wenbing said, "Then you go and be careful, just look for it in the west kitchen, by the way, you look for the fat man to help you find it, don't go in the dean inside, it's particularly dangerous there." ”

Liu Ling'er said, "Got it, I'll go first." ”

After Liu Ling'er finished speaking, she went out first, and Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang came out next, and soon arrived at the courtyard.

A lot of people have already gathered in the courtyard, including all the contestants and those who helped, waiting for the important news to be announced.

Ma Wenbing stood on the periphery, and Tianxiang stood next to him, there was no need to lean forward, and he could still hear it outside.

I saw that almost one of the eunuchs in charge was holding something like a holy decree, and then began to speak, "Have you all arrived? ”

The eunuch drew a long line with his hand in front of him, meaning that ten people should stand in that line.

Then the ten people who participated in the competition walked over one after another, and Tianxiang also pushed Ma Wenbing out, and smiled and said, "Of all the people, you are the youngest, handsome and chic, young and promising, I have to tell you a secret." ”

Ma Wenbing was stunned for a moment, and asked softly what the secret was? Why didn't you tell it in the room just now? Now this person is not suitable to tell the secret at all, so he said, "Let's talk about the secret when we go back." ”

But Tianxiang couldn't care about it so much, and tiptoed on Ma Wenbing's ear and said softly, "I like you." ”

Tianxiang didn't know why she was saying these four words at this time, she wanted to say it in her heart at this time, and there was no reason because he couldn't explain it himself.

Hearing Tianxiang's words, Ma Wenbing's heart was surging, although he already knew that Tianxiang had that meaning, but she had to be shocked when she said it so obviously.

Seeing Ma Wenbing's shocked stupid look, Tianxiang smiled and pushed Ma Wenbing out, "Go quickly, if you don't go, you'll be the only one left." ”

Ma Wenbing stood at the end of the ten people, still thinking about Tianxiang's words in his heart, this sentence probably made him think about it for a long time, and his heart was generally happy, and at the same time surprised, etc.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the eunuch continued, "Everyone is here, then I will announce the important decision of this food competition, the various rules and regulations of the competition, and the various points that need to be paid attention to in the competition, everyone pay attention to listen." ”

The eunuch began to read out the list in his hand, and the whole process of reading out lasted for about half an hour, explaining in detail the details of this competition, so that everyone was very clear.

After the eunuch finished reading, he asked everyone if there was anything they didn't understand, and everyone said that there was nothing they didn't understand, so the eunuchs left.

As soon as the eunuch left, everyone first talked about it, and couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, but they didn't talk for long and dispersed.

Ma Wenbing returned to Tianxiang's side, did not speak, and the two of them returned to the room together, and at this time found that Liu Ling'er and the master had not returned, so they couldn't help but worry about them.

Ma Wenbing said, "I'll go to the imperial dining room to see, why haven't they come back yet?"

Ma Wenbing ran out of the room and courtyard, came to the kitchen in the west, and saw that the master and Liu Ling'er were cooking, and the worry in his heart was gone.

Seeing Ma Wenbing coming, Liu Ling'er came over and said, "There seems to be a commotion outside just now, is something wrong?"

Just now, she and Liu Kou vaguely heard a noise outside, but because the sound of the black pot was too loud, they were not very sure, and they didn't go out to have a look.

Ma Wenbing explained, "Just now, someone came to the palace and announced some food competitions. ”

Hearing Ma Wenbing's words, Liu immediately stopped what he was doing and immediately asked, "Are there any people?" What did they say? Tell me about it. ”

Ma Wenbing said, "It's all about the time of the game, and some forbidden things, the rules and regulations of the game, tell the master slowly at night." ”

Liu asked again, "Did you say anything about the test questions of the competition?"

Ma Wenbing replied, "No, I said that the test questions of the competition were said by the emperor on the same day." ”

"That's it, it's been the same in the past, it's the same this year. Liu Yikou said, "Okay, I've done it early, let's go back quickly, by the way, has Lord He woken up?"

Ma Wenbing shook his head and said, "He was still sleeping when I went out, I'm afraid he is still sleeping now?"

"What time is it now, why is he still sleeping? Could he be sick?" Liu Yikou's words had to shock Liu Yikou and Ma Wenbing, because that situation was possible, but it was fine yesterday, and it shouldn't be suddenly sick.

"Then I'll go over and see now, if he is really sick, I must find him a royal doctor, if something serious happens. Ma Wenbing immediately said that the whole plan was tied to his side, and he couldn't let him fall if he fell.

This matter is very serious, thanks to Liu Ling'er's reminder, Liu Koukou immediately said, "You hurry over and take a look, and ask him if there is anything uncomfortable." ”

Ma Wenbing didn't even serve breakfast, and then ran to Tianxiang and Ma Wenbing's room, but after entering the door, the worry just now was gone, because he saw Tianxiang talking happily with Lord He.

Seeing Lord He's happy face, Ma Wenbing didn't need to ask him if he was feeling well, and instead asked, "Breakfast will be delivered soon, Tianxiang, you can prepare it." ”

Hearing Ma Wenbing's words, Tianxiang was stunned, why did she need to prepare this time? What do you need to prepare? Why didn't she have anything to prepare before.

But Tianxiang still said, "Do you want me to help serve one?"

Ma Wenbing replied, "No, just have me, you can sit with Lord He." ”

Ma Wenbing quickly ran back to the imperial dining room, and happened to meet the master and senior sister Liu Ling'er on the way, and when he saw Ma Wenbing, he immediately stopped him, and Liu immediately asked, "How is it?"

Ma Wenbing shook his head and said, "No, no, he is chatting with Tianxiang well, we are too worried." ”

Hearing Ma Wenbing's words, Liu Yikou was very happy, if this Lord He fell ill at this critical moment, he would be in trouble, which meant that all the plans were in vain.

"That's good, there's another dish in the kitchen, you go and bring it, and we'll eat together." Liu said in one mouth, and then entered the room with Liu Ling'er first.

When Ma Wenbing brought the last dish, everyone began to eat, for Liu Yiyi and Lord He, they were lucky to be able to eat at the same table with Princess Tianxiang these days, but there was no way, they could only eat at one table.

During the meal, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er told each other what happened last night, because Ma Wenbing and Liu Yikou didn't know each other very well, especially Liu Yikou, who almost didn't know anything now.

With the help of the Praetorian Guard, this time the plan was foolproof, and Liu Yikou happily thought that even if they couldn't succeed, seeing that they had saved the emperor's life, they should not be in danger of their lives, at most, they would lose the first place in the food competition.

Everyone quickly finished eating, and discussed tomorrow's game, Liu said to Ma Wenbing very specially, "Tomorrow is mainly up to you, the ten dishes I gave you before are also recalled today, it may be helpful." ”

Ma Wenbing nodded, in fact, what he was thinking about in his heart was not the ten dishes taught by the master at all.
