Qin Xiu just listened quietly, looking at him with a smile, Zhao Fei gradually couldn't speak, and after Zhao Fei shut up, he asked slowly: "Reason, what is the purpose?"

Seeing that Qin Xiu was completely unmoved by what he said, Zhao Fei set up a transparent soundproof formation beside the three of them, and then explained the matter as it was.

The chef star certificate is the best proof of the chef's cooking skills, and it is also the most authoritative proof, this certificate is like the certificate obtained by those who learn technology in modern times, but the gold content of the chef star certificate is obviously higher, and the chef without a chef star can only be said to be the most bottom-class chef, it can be said that there is no chef in this world who does not want this certificate.

So the question is, the chef star certificate is so important, and who is the person who issued the certificate?

Zhao Fei also introduced this point to Qin Xiu in detail, an organization that issued a certificate, this organization is called "Kitchen Dao Sect".

Legend has it that the Kitchen Dao Sect was established by a nine-star chef god, which has existed for 10,000 years, and has a very strong heritage, not only has top-notch cooking skills, but also rare ingredients, and has many rare food recipes, including precious medicinal food recipes, which can be said to be a place where countless chefs want to enter even if they break their heads, and now the only seven-star chef on the mainland is the Taishang Elder of the Kitchen Dao Sect!

"It's just that more than a thousand years ago, the Kitchen Dao Sect experienced a catastrophe that almost wiped out, resulting in the gradual decline of the Kitchen Dao Sect, don't look at the current Kitchen Dao Sect, it is still the most authoritative existence in the chef world, but it is far from being comparable with the Kitchen Dao Sect before the catastrophe. The recipe for medicinal meals was either destroyed or lost in that catastrophe, and those kitchen gods above the seventh star have fallen one after another, you must know that those kitchen gods are also monks who have cultivated above the seventh order, so if they fall, they will fall. ”

Zhao Fei said with some sighs, "The Kitchen Dao Sect that has not experienced the catastrophe, even those top sects on the continent have to be in awe, the Kitchen Dao Sect at that time is the most prosperous period, for example, the current chef wants to preserve the aura in the ingredients Only a few chefs can do it, but back then, everyone in the disciples of the Kitchen Dao Sect could do it!"

Qin Xiu listened quietly, his expressionless face did not show the slightest hint of surprise.

Zhao Fei didn't care anymore, but continued: "But no matter what, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and although the Chef Dao Sect has declined, he is still the undisputed boss in the chef world!"

"Cut to the chase. Qin Xiu said lightly, do the above have anything to do with him?!

"Don't interrupt, I'm about to get to the point. Zhao Fei glanced at him and said, "The star chef assessment is a grand event that has been passed down for thousands of years in the Chef Dao Sect, and a one-star-three-star chef star certification exam will be held every three years, a three-star-five-star chef star certification assessment will be held every three years, a six-star assessment will be held in five years, and a seven-star assessment will be held once in ten years, and this year's assessment will include a one-star to five-star assessment." ”

"We want to recommend you to participate in the star assessment, and we want to invite you to join the Kitchen Dao Sect. Li Tianyi interjected.

Zhao Fei nodded, acquiesced in his words, and said: "The Muyun Continent seems to be very large, the land is vast and the things are vast, but looking at the whole world, it can only be regarded as a small picture board, the main sect of the Kitchen Dao Sect is not in the Muyun Continent, the Kitchen Dao Sect on the Muyun Continent can only be regarded as a subsect, and Lao Li and I are both the masters of the Kitchen Dao Sect." Zhao Fei said, picked up the tea he didn't know where to get it and took a sip, moistening his somewhat dry mouth, "After knowing your name, I went to check the information and found that there is really no your name among those who have star certificates, and there are two similar ones, but I only looked at the list of sub-sects, and I can't see the ones in this sect." ”

That's why he asked about the authenticity of his name at the beginning, wondering if he really didn't have a star certificate, after all, Qin Xiu's origin was too mysterious, and everything before the appearance of the Tanglin Empire was blank, completely untraceable, which made people can't help but wonder if Qin Xiu is from a world outside the continent.

"After knowing that you have not participated in the star assessment, Lao Li and I want to invite you to participate, it would be a pity if you didn't join the Kitchen Dao Sect with your talent. Zhao Fei said sincerely, "And if you don't join the Kitchen Dao Sect, it will really be a huge loss for the Kitchen Dao Sect." ”

"Now, we officially invite you to join the Kitchen Dao Sect, I don't know what you think?" Zhao Fei asked solemnly.

Qin Xiu wanted to refuse without thinking about it, but at this moment, the system that had not shown up for a long time suddenly spoke: "Di! Side Quest: Participate in the chef star assessment in five months and obtain the five-star chef qualification certificate! Task reward: Jiuyang pot 12." ”

As soon as Qin Xiu heard this task, when he came to his lips, he swallowed it back to his stomach, and said to the system angrily in his heart: "System, can you not be startled and scary?!"

"Host, I'm just posting when the mission is based on your experience. The system said innocently.

Qin Xiu choked and didn't pay attention to the system, but lowered his head and pondered, the system issued a task, which means that he must participate in the star chef assessment, but the task only said the assessment, and did not say that he would join the sect, so it didn't matter if he refused.

Thinking so, he raised his eyes and said to Zhao Fei and the others, who were waiting for him to answer: "I will participate in the star assessment, but I will not join the Kitchen Dao Sect." ”

Although Zhao Fei and the others were a little disappointed with this answer, they were not dissatisfied, which was much better than being completely rejected by Qin Xiu as expected.

In their eyes, Qin Xiu's cooking skills were much higher than theirs, but he didn't go to the assessment, so there must be a special reason, and this reason may be very important, they are all ready to be completely rejected.

"I have one request, though. Qin Xiu said.

"You say. Zhao Fei and the others signaled.

Qin Xiu glanced at them and said casually, "I want to participate in the assessment of a five-star chef." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Fei and Li Tianyi couldn't help but widen their eyes, looking extremely surprised, but after being surprised, Zhao Fei laughed, patted Qin Xiu's shoulder and said: "Haha, Qin boy is powerful enough, don't worry, I guarantee that you will be successfully registered, and I will recommend you to participate in the five-star chef assessment!"

"Yes, count me in. Li Tianyi said.

"Then I'll start by saying thank you. Regarding the behavior of the two of them who directly supported themselves without questioning, the corners of Qin Xiu's mouth twitched, revealing a faint smile.

There are strict requirements for the star assessment of chefs, only if you become a one-star chef can you take the two-star exam, if you become a two-star chef, you can take the three-star exam, and so on, if you want to participate in the five-star chef assessment, then only a four-star chef can participate!

If you want to participate in the assessment across levels, unless you can get three five-star or more chefs, you can participate, and the participants must also pass the assessment, if they do not pass, then all the responsibility will be borne by the three recommended people, these three people will be punished to a certain extent, which is not low.

And Zhao Fei and Li Tianyi's trusting actions show that they are very confident in Qin Xiu's cooking skills!

Then the three of them chatted about the history of the Kitchen Dao Sect in the corner, and also talked about the content of the star assessment in previous years, and the time passed unconsciously......

On the other side, the hundred officials followed the emperor to the west room of the imperial study, and inside, the emperor sat on the dragon chair.

At this time, the emperor's face had returned to calm, but his eyes exuded a trace of coldness, and his whole body exuded a majestic momentum.

These officials who entered the door hung their heads one after another, not daring to look at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, but what's wrong with the border?" This time it was Zhou Sheng, the prime minister of Zhou, who spoke, only to see him take two steps forward and ask.

"Let's all take a look. As he spoke, the emperor threw the letter paper on the table to Zhou Sheng, who reached out and took it, shook off the paper, and saw the big line on it.

His pupils froze, but his face was still silently calm, and then handed the paper in his hand to King Ning on the side, King Ning took it, and saw that the color behind the line of words on it was cold, and it became more and more cold, and he handed the letter paper in his hand to the person next to him.

The letter paper circulated in the hands of all the officials, and after a while, everyone saw the news written on the paper, and for a while, everyone's faces changed, showing expressions of anger and shock.

"Damn! The people of the Sun Netherworld Empire are really damned!" Mu Hualan took the letter paper and looked at the line of words on it, "The Sun Netherworld Empire raided, the other party had a seventh-order master to help, the border army was defeated, Gu Nan City was lost, tens of thousands of people were slaughtered, and their heads were hung on the city wall", her eyes were filled with angry flames, and her fingers holding the paper were trembling slightly!

The disputes between the five empires have never stopped, and from time to time there will be a big or small war, everyone is used to it, which is why this time the Sun Empire harassed the border of the Tanglin Empire, but the Tanglin Empire coped with it unhurriedly, because everyone knew that no one could help anyone between the five empires!

The so-called wars are actually just tentative wars, and there is an unwritten rule between the five empires that they will not hurt the people when they fight, even if they occupy the cities of the enemy country, they will not abuse the people as prisoners.

However, this time, the people of the Sun Underworld Empire violated this rule in an open and honest manner! They directly slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent people, and you must know that there are only hundreds of thousands of people in Gunan City, and they will not let go of them, and they even hang their heads on the city wall! This is simply mad!

"Too much deception!"

"Damn, Your Majesty, the minister begs me to send troops tonight!"

"Your Majesty, you must not let go of these damn bastards!"

"The Emperor's ,......"

At this moment, all the officials were furious, tens of thousands of innocent people were slaughtered, and their heads were still hung on the city wall, how could such a cruel act not make them angry! These are the people of the Tanglin Empire!

At this time, the emperor had already calmed down, and looking at the angry officials below, he waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

After everyone quieted down, he said coldly: "Marshal Ai Ming of Zhenguo listens to the order. ”

"The minister is here. "King Ning, that is, the Marshal of Zhenguo Ai Ming, took two steps forward and stood in the center of the main hall.

"I order you to lead a large army to trigger Gunan City early tomorrow morning, and you will definitely recapture Gunan City, and I also want you to take off the head of the chief general of the Sun Hades Empire to sacrifice those innocent people who died in vain!" The emperor's cold voice resounded throughout the hall.

"Obey. Ning Wang Ai Ming replied without humility or arrogance, his eyes were full of slaughter, and the momentum exuded from his body was even colder, obviously, this time he was also angry.

Then the emperor named a few more people and assigned them to various seats, among which Qin Yudie's grandfather, Qin Marquis Qin Lianghui, was sent to the border adjacent to the Nanxuan Empire, after all, he couldn't ignore the Nanxuan Empire because of the battle with the Sun Empire.

The generals who followed Ai Ming to Gunan City included Mu Hualan, Ye Feng, Xue Mingyu and other generals, but Han Qian followed Qin Lianghui, the Marquis of Qin, to Beang City, and the rest of Ai Zimo became one of the generals who stayed in Kyoto.

When everything was discussed, all the ministers walked out of the door and breathed a sigh of relief, but their mood was a little heavy, at this time, the prime minister and Ai Ming also put aside their prejudices against each other, and walked side by side, still discussing the current situation while walking, but they were talking about issues that were not very confidential.

This is also the tacit understanding between the two, it's one thing to not be used to each other, but when it comes to national affairs, the two will still let go of their prejudices against each other, one uses wisdom, the other uses force, and joins forces with each other to repel the enemy!

As for the enemy after repelling it, of course, it is to continue to look at the opponent unpleasantly! Continue to find fault with the opponent! Continue to go against the opponent!

Just when everyone was about to leave the palace, a eunuch trotted forward, saluted everyone and said: "Everyone, please wait a while, the queen mother ordered the little ones to wait here, and when they saw the adults come out, they will report that the families of the adults are still waiting for you in the Taihe Hall at this time, and I hope you will leave to go to the Taihe Palace." ”

I don't know why I heard that my family was waiting for me, and the hearts of these officials were warm, and the heavy mood that was originally a little heavy because of Gu Nancheng was relieved a lot.

said politely to the eunuch, "There is Father-in-law Lao." Then he turned around and walked towards the Taihe Palace.

When I arrived at the Taihe Palace, I saw that the main hall was still brightly lit, but there was no singing and dancing, only a small voice.

Seeing the people who appeared at the door, the family members who were waiting in the main hall showed joy on their faces, and hurriedly walked towards the person they were looking for.

Princess Ning was no exception, taking Ai Ziyu and Ai Weiwei towards King Ning and the three, and Ai Weiwei was also followed by Zhou Yan!

Mu Hualan's eyes inadvertently glanced around the hall, but she didn't see the familiar figure, I don't know why, obviously it shouldn't, but there is still a trace of loss in my heart.

It's just that this loss is very shallow, so shallow that she may not even notice it.
