Chapter 11: The Mystery of Our State
If the grilled fish cubes show the strong delicious violence of that dish, the siege of the city and the land, invincible, and when you eat another dish of fish brain soup, the second daughter realizes the tenderness of what a delicacy is.
The tongue and stomach that was tyrannically abused by the grilled fish pieces, after a little taste, willingly put up a white flag, left the submission to the fish pieces just now, and fell down in front of the fish brain soup.
The soft and tender feeling, like a mother's hand, gently patted the toddler in her arms, making their stomach and intestines extremely excited, and suddenly returned to calm and serene.
Mai Ke and Peter also ate some, and they didn't enjoy it like the two daughters, but it was just good. They also felt a little emotion when the second daughter liked to eat the food they prepared so much.
These are things that modern people can eat every day if they want to. And the second daughter is either a noble or a wealthy person, but it seems to be the first experience, and you can imagine how low the living standard of ordinary people is.
When they had finished eating, there was still a lot left. Originally, Ruofei wanted to stay for another meal, but Peter objected. Said that Mai Ke is here, when do you want to eat it and bake it fresh.
Fish, anyway, when sailing on the water, he can go fishing again at any time. Not only is it fresh, but it is also possible to change the variety, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.
So, they called Uncle Lu and the others up and shared this unfinished delicacy with them. These guys don't eat as elegantly as these four people, and each of them picks up a piece and munches on it.
When they knew that this was Mai Ke's craft, they all looked at him with green eyes. It is estimated that the heart was not subdued, and the stomach was subdued.
Mai Ke saw that they were still unsatisfied, so he had to promise them to bake more next time and let them eat enough.
The chef originally boasted that his cooking skills were first-class, but after eating, he immediately bowed to the wind and began his perseverance in seeking a teacher.
With a supernatural chef like Mai Ke close at hand, if he didn't seize the opportunity to learn one or several hands, he wouldn't cook, just find a piece of the softest tofu he practiced and kill his head.
In fact, he is too arrogant, he has always been the "imperial chef" of the Ning family, that is, he specially cooked for Jingrui's grandfather Ning Yuanzhi, this time he walked with his baby granddaughter, he took care of her all the way to eat, and he didn't go back when he arrived in Gwangju.
In the evening, the big ship, which had sailed all day, arrived at the port of Wuzhou, which was originally scheduled to stop halfway. They plan to rest here for the night and continue their voyage tomorrow.
As the arrangements had been made in advance, and the people involved had been greeted, as soon as the ship docked, a man in a robe who was waiting there trotted forward to meet him.
The robe ignored others, and only waved his head at the second daughter, "Welcome the two young ladies to come to Wuzhou, and come to serve in the ceremony!"
"Uncle, won't you kill me like this! I should give you a salute. Jing Rui dodged to the side as she saluted her robe.
The robe didn't explain much, and insisted on finishing the ceremony. Then he said come with me, and led the way to the largest inn in Wuzhou. The second daughter and Peter Mai Ke followed behind.
Uncle Lu is also with the other four King Kongs. Since the second daughter is going, they must go, after all, the safety of the second daughter is the most important.
On the way, Jingrui approached Mai Ke and introduced him to the robe.
It turned out that he was the eldest son of his grandfather's generation, with a name and a good name, and he was the general manager of all the Ning family's properties in Wuzhou.
The authority of the governor of Wuzhou is very great, although it is not as great as the governor of Gwangju of his second grandfather, his rights and assets at his disposal are among the best.
Because Wuzhou is located at the hub of waterways, it is also the center of the vast area around it. In the surrounding area, the boats on the water had to obey his arrangement.
Those who oppose him will be bankrupt at best, and their families will be ruined at worst. Therefore, before leaving, her grandfather specially instructed her not to forget to salute this uncle when she passed through Wuzhou.
The inn they were going to now was also one of the Ning family's properties.
When Mai Ke heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little vigilant in his heart. Because when he met with the robe, he saw a trace of deep cruelty in his eyes just by sweeping it. That's not the kind of expression that a good kind should have.
He had studied Yin Jian, and he had a lot of experience in the art of contemplating people, and he had experimented with this method when he had formed a brotherhood with the Brotherhood Alliance. So far, at least, he hasn't been disappointed with his results.
Of course, after establishing a new belief, his way of looking at people was greatly adjusted. The main understanding is that the Creator created man in his own image, and if a person has a good conscience, he will appear like this.
And man cannot see the heart, but he can see the eyes, because the eyes are the windows of the heart. Therefore, those who have the ability to perceive can see through the mystery through their eyes.
The inn is only three floors, and even then, it is the tallest house in the city. The entire third floor was emptied for these people.
The two largest rooms in the center were given to the two young ladies, the left was the Four King Kongs to move in, and the right was given to Mai Ke and Peter. This arrangement was made after the robe had consulted the young lady. Although he didn't know much about Peter, a foreigner, he only regarded him as one of the young lady's retinues.
At that time, although there were not many foreigners, there were still large families who hired them as bodyguards and messengers. As for Mai Ke, he didn't pay attention at all.
After a hearty dinner, they went back to the inn to rest.
The second daughter was not interested in dinner at all, or the fault of the lunch meal, compared with the two, according to the level of the very rich dinner at that time, it became tasteless.
The robe was already strict, and there was not much to talk about at the table, but at the beginning, the congratulatory lady went to Gwangju to succeed his father and become the head of the family's largest estate, and even he himself had to obey her management.
It is no wonder that he was under the management of his father, and whoever succeeded his father took over the management of him by the way. He's depressed, where is he in the mood to say more. If it weren't for the presence of his future immediate boss, he would definitely not be in the mood to attend.
The second daughter had no intention of dining, and the host had no intention of talking about it, so although the dinner was sumptuous, it was quickly and hastily over.
When he arrived at the inn, Mai Ke didn't say anything to the second daughter, said goodnight and returned to his room with Peter.
At dinner, he once again noticed the sinister look in the robe's eyes, when he was congratulating his niece on her ascension.
Being in a foreign country, he had to be extra cautious, and he also had to protect the safety of his second daughter. If nothing else, but by the trust they allowed them to take the boat, and the trust that flowed in their words. With his connoisseurship, he scored quite high on the identification results of the second daughter.
He didn't explain much to Peter, but told him to stay awake while he slept. After Peter left, he thought about it, took something out of his equipment bag, walked to the outside of the room, and placed it in a corner in front of the door, pointing in the direction of the left.
When I got back to the house, I picked up a small locket of flat shapes, looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and put it on the small cabinet in front of the bed, and lay down to rest.
At three or four o'clock in the morning, Mai Ke heard a slight footstep. He opened his eyes to look at the locket, and saw several dark figures sneaking lightly towards the two rooms in the middle.
It turned out that Mai Ke used a set of infrared cameras, and the lens was facing the second daughter's residence. This special equipment for special forces can not only shoot at night, but also receive sound, so that the person watching can feel as if they are there.
In addition, it can also be used to transmit sound. Mai Ke believed that with his and Peter's protection, the two daughters should generally be in no danger. So he didn't get up either, just watched what they were going to do.
A few black shadows quickly touched the door of the second girl, looked at the door number, and seemed to be sure that it was the one on the right, and began to act. Mai Ke knew that it was Ning Jingrui's residence.
I saw a few people scattered, and everyone went to a bodyguard's room, exactly one person per room, except for no one to go to Peter and Mai Ke's room. And it's so precise that it happens to be the one of the many rooms that live there.
Then each of them took out a hose more than a foot long from his waist, smeared some saliva on one end of the tube, and silently penetrated the window paper, and put the tube into the room, and then these people aimed their mouths at the exposed end of the pipe and blew it away.
Mai Ke knew that they were using drugs. Once successful, all people will be captivated and let them do whatever they want.
The second daughter and the four King Kongs were not alert, and it was probably related to the fact that they thought they were absolutely safe within the scope of their own people. And the success of those people is obviously inseparable from their familiarity with the inside story. If it weren't for the participation of the outlier Mai Ke, it is estimated that this trick would have succeeded as planned.
Mai Ke continued to observe, and after these people finished blowing, they withdrew the hose to their waists, and gathered again in front of the door of Tranquility's room, still with light steps and silence.
After about half a cup of tea, I heard the leader, who seemed to be, say, "It should be fine." The master only asks us to attack the young lady, and we will not kill others. ”
They all know that the expiration date of this drug is not long, and after half an hour, those who are fascinated will wake up, just like no one, just as if they had slept for a while.
Not only were these people dressed in black, but they were all covered with black scarves, and only their eyes were exposed. At this time, the leader had finished his orders, and one of the shortest men in black walked to the door, and opened the door with three strokes and five divisions. Then two people went in and carried the unconscious guest out.
"In the middle of the night, what should you be guilty of disturbing Miss's rest?" a deep and majestic voice suddenly sounded.
"Huh?" everyone was taken aback, and those who were carrying people and preparing to retreat stood on the spot.
The one at the head was also a decisive character, and when he saw that he was discovered, something was wrong, he immediately waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat. The two people who carried the lady lightly put the young lady on the ground and ran away. Despite the urgency, their movements were light and apparently well-trained.
Of course, the sound that scared people away was made by Mai Ke. The pronunciation function of this night vision device he uses can change the volume and pitch of the voice during the vocalization process.
Users can choose according to their needs. He saw those people as he expected, and knew that such a thing would not see the light of day, and once it was broken, he had to stop his actions and ensure that he would get out of the way.
Since he stopped the possible harm to Jingrui, he didn't publicize it. Get up and go out, go into the next room, and move Tranquility back to bed. Let her know the best.
Mai Ke returned to his room and felt that what had just happened was no accident. Seeing that these men in black are well-trained and act decisively, I also feel that dealing with them should not be taken lightly.
They are so familiar with the situation that they can deduce that even if it is not the work of internal ghosts, there must be internal and external collusion.
Although he could get away from the trouble, he had to help them if he had encountered them.
What's more, I have a bigger plan, and helping them is actually a good opportunity to complete this plan.
