Chapter Seventy-Eight: Missing

"Tell me, what's going on over there?" Mu Ruqing asked Ruan Mianmian to pour a cup of tea for the mysterious man and asked him to sit down, but he didn't drink tea or sit, just took two steps closer, and his tone was still cold: "Li Binghai threw this thing into Qin Feng's room through the window sill connected to the two rooms, and the smoke emitted by this thing caused Qin Feng to have signs of poisoning, Li Binghai observed by the window for a while and then went to sleep, so I took Qin Feng to this side."

"Sure enough, as Uncle Hua expected, as long as Li Binghai makes a move, there will always be a handle in our hands, and when this handle will be made public, it will be up to us. I don't think he's very loyal to King Qi either, and most of this time it's for himself to win the championship. Ruan Mianmian calmly analyzed.

Mu Ruqing turned out to be the bamboo tube in the hand of the man in black, and immediately smelled the smell of burnt on it, and his nose twitched, although the smoke had been extinguished, but when he smelled the smell, he knew that it was charcoal burned, once this charcoal fire was ignited, and in a closed environment like the bamboo tube, it would only emit smoke and not catch fire, so there was no need to worry about it causing damage to other rooms, and he couldn't help but say: This Li Binghai is so ruthless.

"Young Master Qin, did you feel that your mouth was dry, your limbs were stiff and unable to move, and you gradually lost consciousness?" Mu Ruqing turned his head and asked Qin Feng, who was lying on the bed.

Qin Feng nodded, his face was still blue, the purpleness of his lips had faded a little, and he could speak in a hoarse voice: "Yes, that's the case." ”

"That's it, don't worry, it's carbon monoxide poisoning, rest well tonight, and you'll be safe tomorrow."

"A sheep... Charcoal? It's just a charcoal fire, how can there be sheep? Although Ruan Mianmian listened to a lot of strange words from Mu Ruqing's mouth, he still felt novel and couldn't understand it every time.

"Uh... It's nothing, it's just that the poison in him is very light, and he doesn't inhale much smoke, so he gets better quickly. Mu Ruqing also realized that he forgot to convert it into the current term, carbon monoxide, a term like this, I am afraid that only An Yanghou in the world can understand.

"It's okay, let Xiaoliu sleep with Qin Gongzi tonight, and take care of it." Ruan Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't delve into Mu Ruqing's words, after all, she had heard a lot of words before, and she was not the kind of person who would drill the horns of the bull.

Mu Ruqing nodded, asked the man in black to turn sideways, and muttered something in his ear, and the man in black put on the mask again, put the bamboo tube on the table into his arms, turned around and went out a few ups and downs before disappearing on the roof of the night.

The day gradually brightened, the neighbor's rooster crowed, the door opened, the whole street became lively, the people who lived close to the door had already come to the door of Yipinxiang and waited to open the door to occupy a good seat, and the children bought fennel beans and melon seeds, climbed the wall of the incense with clothes, and sat neatly and talked and laughed.

Yipinxiang opened the door early and welcomed the guests in, Ruan Mianmian had also finished dressing up, and took care of the traffic at the door with a new look, according to Mu Ruqing's instructions, Qin Feng was sent from the backyard to the Anyang Hou Mansion after waking up early in the morning, he had his own arrangements.

When the hour came, there was already a carriage with a pint of incense to pick up the contestants in the inn, and when he nodded, Ruan Bai was puzzled: "What's the matter, there were originally fifteen people, but at the moment there are only fourteen, and one hasn't come out?" ”

These chefs counted the number of people one after another, and there was really one less, and then looked at the familiar faces, and suddenly a big man spoke: "Where is Qin Feng?" Why didn't Qin Gongzi come? Everyone looked around again, and what they didn't see was really Qin Feng.

"Did you forget to get up in a daze, or should we knock on his door?" One said enthusiastically.

"I don't think I need to, I heard him go out when I got up this morning, maybe he went early by himself, let's go quickly, it's not good to miss the hour." Li Binghai stroked his beard, looking like he didn't care about himself.

"Why are you so cold-blooded?" The big man who had just spoken had some anger on his face, and he raised his fist and was about to come over, but Ruan Bai hurriedly stopped in the middle, and said with a smile: "Why be angry about this trivial matter, otherwise you will laugh and be generous." ”

"Yes, let's go over first, if you find that Qin Gongzi has not arrived when you arrive at Yipinxiang, it will not be too late to send someone back to find him at that time, he is a big man, what can happen." Li Binghai snorted coldly, limped into the carriage and sat in.

Seeing this, the rest of the people had no choice but to get into the car, Ruan Bai pursed his lips, still smiling and hurried back to Yipinxiang, saw Ruan Mianmian who greeted him at the door, nodded secretly, and led these chefs into the lounge.

There was a tea and fruit plate in the lounge, as well as various pastries that Liu Xin'er had just brought in for breakfast, and there was still an hour before the start of the game, which was enough for them to have breakfast.

After the fourteen people in the lounge finished eating, seeing that the time for the start of the game was getting closer and closer, Ruan Mianmian changed into gorgeous red big-sleeved shirts and went on stage to enliven the atmosphere and prepare to start.

The big man, who had been friends with Qin Feng for a long time, was also anxious, and kept chattering: "Everyone, why don't we find someone to take a look, he attaches great importance to this competition, and will never deliberately delay, there must be some unknown reason." ”

Another elderly man also said: "I saw that in order to maintain order outside the door, the Terracotta Division sent a lot of soldiers here, and we can't leave, so it's better to let them go and find it, if there is really something, it can be rescued in time." ”

When the big man heard this, he immediately got up and went out to look for it, sure enough, there were a lot of soldiers patrolling and standing guard, he squeezed through the crowd and pulled a soldier's sleeve, and explained the cause and effect of the matter.

Li Binghai leaned on crutches in the corner, looking at these people in a hurry, quietly rolled his eyes, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the guests have crowded the courtyard hall and the wall, even the walking aisle is crowded with people, the light yarn in the VIP hall on the second floor has been put down, the distinguished guests have long been sitting in their private rooms to taste tea and wine, all kinds of side dishes are handed in, inside and outside are a pin of incense and the people of the Hou Mansion of Anyang are busy.

Ruan Mianmian kept smiling on the stage and looked around, trying to let everyone see his eyes, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, having said so much, the next question is the most important question, about the rules of the Chef Competition. ”

"We will randomly select 50 tasters from all the guests in the room, and the tasters will have the opportunity to taste each contestant's work, and in mind, each taster will have three votes for the dish they think is the best, and of course, for the sake of fairness, all the dishes are presented in the form of numbers, and there is no direct indication of which chef made it. At the end of the competition, each taster will receive a small gift bag from a pint of incense. ”

After saying this, Ruan Mianmian raised a smile and blessed her body slightly, turned around gracefully and stepped off the stage, bypassing the audience and going to the second floor of Yipinxiang. On the stage, Liu Xin'er commanded the little maid to carry the red box, and asked the guests to reach in and take out a small ball with different numbers written on it, and then Liu Xin'er read the numbers at will to select fifty lucky audiences.

Here Mu Ruqing entertained the guests and came to the lounge to inquire about the preparations, but saw that several people were in a hurry, and it was difficult to sit still, so he couldn't help but ask the reason, and his face was replaced with a worried look.

As soon as Mu Ruqing sat down, a few officers and soldiers entered the lounge with their hind feet, and closed the door, and when they saw Mu Ruqing here, they bowed their hands respectfully: "Boss Mu." ”

The big man couldn't wait any longer, so he rushed up and asked, "How is it, have you found Qin Feng?" ”

The soldier's face was a little ugly, and he said: "We have checked the inn, and we have also informed the general of the Terracotta Division, the doors and windows of his room are closed, and it is full of smoke, we covered our mouths and noses and went in to search for a while, but we didn't find anyone else there, and there was no trace of a fight, and in addition to the smoke, there was also a poison pill in the room, that thing was very tricky, but now there is a special drug test to deal with it." ”

"What? Qin Feng is not in the inn room? Before the others could react, Li Binghai, who was leaning on the side and was inconspicuous, was the first to ask in surprise.

"Yes, he is not in the room, if he is still in the room, such thick smoke, and there are poison pills that spread with the air, I am afraid that he will not survive for ten lives." The soldier shook his head, puzzled, "Why are you so surprised, could it be that you have seen him in his room?" ”

Li Binghai's face changed, and he immediately changed his tone, and forcibly suppressed the doubt in his heart: "No, no, it's good not to be in the room, I'm glad for him." ”

"Since Gongzi Qin is not in the room, then I have to bother the military masters to look elsewhere, after all, human life is at stake." Mu Ruqing didn't seem to see Li Binghai's abnormal behavior, and only looked at the soldiers.

"It's nature." The soldiers hurriedly returned the salute, everyone knew that this Boss Mu was not only the owner of the restaurant, but also a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother, the fiancΓ© of the lord of Jingshu, if the matter was done, his words would be directly heard by the heavens, affecting the palace.

Just as he was saying this, the people who were originally hiding were suddenly opened from the outside, and then Qin Feng, who was neatly dressed, swaggered in, looked at everyone standing in place one by one, and touched his face: "What's wrong?" Why do you all look at me like that? ”

"But it scared us to death, weren't you in the room last night, where the hell did you go?" The big man asked.

Qin Feng's face flushed, and he smiled: "I had nothing to do last night, and I was bored in the room alone, so I went to the Tulip Building in Xicheng and drank a pot of flower wine, but I was so drunk that I woke up when it was dawn." ”
