As soon as Liu's words fell, Lord He Yiping and He then talked eloquently, "There are several key points in this plan, first of all, we can't mess around, we must change depending on the situation." ”

"It depends on the situation. Liu Ling'er asked, what she asked was also what Tianxiang and Ma Wenbing wanted to ask.

He Yiping He continued, "First of all, we participate in the competition according to the plan, this can't let others see anything, if we can get the first place, it is better, if we can't win the first place, there is no way, but our right to speak is reduced by more than half." ”

Ma Wenbing replied, "I know this, I will try my best to do it well, please rest assured." ”

"I believe in my apprentice, he will definitely get the first place. Liu said calmly.

Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er also said the same thing, and everyone said that they had confidence in Ma Wenbing.

Then He Yiping He continued, "The second step is very important, that is, wait, we have to endure it, and wait for others to strike first." ”

Liu Ling'er asked again, "What are we waiting for? Can you make it clear at once?"

"Of course, we are waiting for those bad guys in the Western Regions to make a move, as long as they are poisoned, they will definitely be arrested on the spot, and then the Praetorian Guard will help us, saying that we have provided reliable information. He Yiping replied.

Liu Yikou replied, "That's right, as long as the Praetorian Guard helps us say this, then the emperor will definitely ask us, and then we will have a lot of opportunities." ”

Tianxiang said, "Father must have asked us how we knew about the conspiracy of the people in the Western Regions, so we will confess a few traitors in the palace, and Lord Ariga will come out in person and say that it will definitely succeed." ”

Lord He Yiping He nodded, "The old man must do his best, use my fluent tongue to understand the matter, and the matter of drugging the Dihua Niangniang, Princess Tianxiang should not come forward in this process." ”

"Why can't Princess Tianxiang come forward? When will Princess Tianxiang come forward?" asked Liu Ling'er.

Lord He Yiping replied, "Looking at the emperor's reaction, if he is willing to accept the rehabilitation of Tianxiang Niangniang, there will be no problem for Princess Tianxiang to come out at this time, if the emperor is very angry with us and does not want to be rehabilitated, then Princess Tianxiang should not come out." ”

Liu Yikou answered again, "You are wrong, Lord He has to think about things more carefully, when the time comes, we will act according to the three plans we have booked, look at Lord He's face, don't be rash." ”

"In the final analysis, this matter depends on the emperor's mood, or is it an undecided situation. Liu Ling'er muttered, seemingly dissatisfied with this.

"This is certain, the emperor is the head of the country, and he must see what the reaction looks like. He Yiping replied.

At this time, Liu Yikou asked Ma Wenbing, that is, have the eunuchs who came just now enter the Yuluan Hall tomorrow? That is the final place selected for this competition.

Ma Wenbing replied, "They said that they would send someone to call us at noon, and we would go to the place of the competition together at that time." ”

"It's noon, the most important meal of the day is noon, Wenbing, the topic of this competition should be a hot dish, you have to pay attention. Liu Yikou analyzed that he usually has to eat hot dishes at noon.

Ma Wenbing replied, "Master, don't worry, I'm prepared. ”

Liu Yikou was very happy, nodded, and said, "Anyway, I don't know what competition questions the emperor will come up with, all the preparations are predicted, or it depends on everyone's imagination and creativity, and whoever wants to come up with a new dish quickly when the time comes, then whoever will have the possibility to win." ”

"Yes, Master, this is the soul of the chef you told me, and I have always kept it in my heart. Ma Wenbing replied.

Liu Linger didn't know what the soul of a chef was, and she didn't know how Ma Wenbing knew it, and her father had never told her, so she asked what the soul of a chef was.

Liu stroked his long beard, smiled without saying a word, and didn't tell her clearly because he wanted everyone to realize it themselves, and Ma Wenbing was the first person to realize it.

The master did not answer Liu Ling'er's question, and Ma Wenbing replied, "It's the creativity I just talked about." ”

Listening to Ma Wenbing's answer, Liu Ling'er pursed her lips, and the boss in her heart was unhappy, "Why didn't you tell me? Daddy, you are so eccentric." ”

Liu said, "I didn't say anything, I don't believe you asked your junior brother, this is what he realized, I just want you to think for yourself, what's the point of me saying it?"

I don't know if what her father said is true or false, but Liu Ling'er was not very happy, so she lowered her head and didn't speak.

Liu Koukou didn't care about Liu Ling'er's reaction, because it wasn't important, what we had to discuss today was the matter of tomorrow's game.

Ma Wenbing asked again, "By the way, Master, why didn't the four famous inns enter the finals?

Ma Wenbing thought that since it was the most famous inn in the country, he should be able to enter the finals, but he didn't get in any of them, so he was a little surprised.

"It's strange to say, but it's not strange at all. Liu replied, "Think about it, we have ten places this time, which is the most, the two internal imperial chefs came up by connection, and the three people from the Western Regions were bought with money, so the four major inns will definitely not be able to enter." “

Ma Wenbing asked: "What about the four people of East Sweet and West Spicy North Marinated South Soup? Are they much more powerful than the four major inns? Last time we ate their dishes at the Tianlong Inn, it was still very good." ”

Liu pondered for a while, and said, "Wenbing, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you think, this is a collective cause, East Sweet West Spicy North Marina South Soup is a collective, the four major inns are also a collective, I don't know how they operate, I think it must have something to do with this." ”

"It's going to go in together, and this time all four of them made it to the final. Tianxiang said, "By the way, Uncle Liu, last time that Lasisi came to you, did she want to inquire about any news?

"What important thing can she do? Liu Yikou said first.

Liu replied, "She wanted to inquire about the competition of the food competition, ridiculous, what news can I know?" ”

"I'll just say that she has bad intentions, and you plan to ask her to be a translator, and I advise you to forget it, don't give her that book, in case it contains important information, she will definitely keep it for her own use and not return it. As soon as Liu Yi's voice fell, Liu Ling'er said.

Hearing Liu Ling'er's words, Lord He Yiping and Liu Yikou were very surprised, they hadn't heard of Tianxiang's books that needed to be translated, but they thought that this was probably Princess Tianxiang's private matter, so they didn't ask.

Tianxiang sighed, "If you don't let her translate it for me, I don't know that kind of text, and it's useless to have it, so it's better to let him give it a try." ”

Hearing Tianxiang's words, Lord He Yiping He had to ask, "Princess, what kind of writing book, can you tell the old man?"

"It's the Jin Kingdom script of the Western Regions, I have a book over there, this book seems to record a certain secret, I don't know if Lord He knows about the Jin Kingdom of the Western Regions?" Tianxiang immediately asked.

"The Golden Kingdom of the Western Regions?" Lord He immediately pondered, this name is not unfamiliar, but it is not often heard, geographically there is such a country, thousands of miles away.

"I don't know if Brother Liu knows about the Jin Kingdom in the Western Regions?" He Yiping asked suddenly, because he was a little uncertain in his heart, and he didn't know much about the Jin Kingdom in the Western Regions.

Liu stroked his beard, he didn't have to be better than Lord He Yipinghe, he had heard of such a country somewhere, if he wanted to say that he understood, and even understood the words over there, I am afraid that China Shenzhou would not be able to find a person to come out.

Liu Yikou said, "How many years do you remember, the Western Regions Jin Kingdom will send people to worship our country and meet our emperor, I forgot it once in a few years, can Lord He still remember this time?"

Lord He Yiping shook his head and said, "This old man doesn't know, if you want to know the information of the Western Regions Jin Kingdom, you have to go to the Chronicle Room of the Internal Affairs Office, but that place is not very easy to go." ”

Just as He Yiping was speaking, there was a noisy sound outside, and many officers and soldiers entered the courtyard.

"Wen Bing, you go out and see what's going on first, why are there so many soldiers outside?" Liu Yikou stood up and said, feeling very nervous, not knowing what was going on outside.

Ma Wenbing just walked outside the corridor, immediately came back quickly, closed the door, and said softly and nervously, "It's not good, someone is here, it should be here to arrest Lord He, hide under the table." ”

Ma Wenbing's words immediately shocked everyone, and Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er reacted first, because they had already thought of this and thought of a way to deal with it.

"Quick, Lord He, there's a pit under the table, you hide first. Tianxiang first said urgently, and then found a carpet in the cabinet, about two meters of square area.

Lord He didn't have time to explain why there was a big pit under the table, but he saw that there was indeed a big pit under the table, and he had a clever plan in an instant.

Lord He is old, and his movement is not very convenient, with the help of Liu Yikou and Liu Ling'er, he can hide in that big pit, at this time Tianxiang covered the carpet and told Lord He not to speak.

In a few moments, four soldiers rushed in, all with swords in their hands, two on each side.

One of the soldiers said, "Don't be surprised, a mortal has recently escaped from the palace, and now we are going to do a brief search." ”

Hearing the soldier's words, Liu Yikou first said, "Oh, then you can search, there are only a few of us in the house, we are all here to participate in the competition, you should find out." ”

The soldier's eyes first swept their faces to make sure they weren't the person they were looking for, and then they scanned the house, just briefly to see where they could hide.

"You, go to that cabinet and have a look. ”

A soldier ran to the cabinet and checked to find no one.

"Okay, we've got it. The four soldiers hurried away.

Liu Yikou first gave Ma Wenbing a look, "Wenbing, you go and take a look, confirm that they come and come back to tell us." ”

Just in case, we must make sure that those soldiers have really left, so that Lord He, who is hiding in the big pit, can be released.

Ma Wenbing walked out softly, his eyes fixed on the soldiers, they searched the other rooms, Ma Wenbing waved his hand at the master in the room, meaning to tell him that the soldiers were still there.

Waiting until the courtyard where the soldiers left, Ma Wenbing replied to the house, "They are gone, they should be safe." ”

At this time, everyone helped to pull He Yiping out of the pit, because the space of the pit was still relatively large, but it was a little darker, so he didn't suffer any sin.

After Lord He was pulled out, he was shocked, he heard everything that happened just now, he didn't expect them to be able to blatantly search, it was really lawless.

"Thanks to the princess's thoughtfulness, this time the old man saved my life again. Lord He was grateful again and again, and this time, Princess Tianxiang had already saved his life twice, and no matter what, she also helped her fulfill her heart's wish.

Tianxiang smiled, "Lord He is too polite, since we rescued you, then we have the obligation to guarantee your safety." ”

At this time, Liu Kou asked very anxiously, "When did you dig this pit? Did you dig this pit? ”

Lord He was also surprised, there was such a big pit in the house, even if the three of them did it together, it would take most of the day, but they were under their noses every day, and it was not clear when they dug such a big pit.

"This is dug by your good apprentice, how about it? Your good apprentice is not only a good cook, but also a top civil craftsman, right?" Liu Linger answered, she didn't say Ma Wenbing's name, this is also a different way to praise Ma Wenbing.

Hearing Liu Ling'er's words, Liu Yikou showed a look of surprise, turned his head to look at Ma Wenbing, and hurriedly asked, "Wenbing, did you really dig this big hole?" When did you dig it, why don't I know anything about it?"

Ma Wenbing replied, "I dug it last night, and the master went out to drink last night, so the master didn't know about it." ”

Liu Yikou said again, "I'm not saying that you didn't tell me last night, but why didn't you tell me a few days ago? And you, Ling'er, how many of you have discussed, right? Now you don't tell your father about things, have you grown up?"

Liu Yikou was very angry, he should have been consulted for such a big decision, and now a few of them were too reckless, digging a big hole in the room of the palace, but they had to admire their minds, and those soldiers couldn't imagine that there was a big hole in the ground.

"Wenbing, how did you dig it?, and where did you transport it?" asked Liu Yikou.
