"It turned out to be Xiao Xin, get up!" Xiao Zimo said softly, turned to look at Xiang Zixi, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It turns out that you are the real master. I should have thought of it a long time ago! Xiang Zixi smiled bitterly: "Zimo, ———— that day"

"Okay, let's not talk about that now. After all, the most important thing right now is next month's food festival! Xiao Zimo threw off his robe and sat on the main seat, Tang Ping stood respectfully behind Xiao Zimo, standing respectfully.

"Everyone, please be seated!" Although Xiao Zimo is very young, he has a majesty that cannot be disobeyed, and there is a domineering secret between his eyebrows.

Xiang Zixi was the first to take a seat, and other talents took their seats one after another. It's just that everyone here looked at Zi Xi again, and their eyes were completely different.

"I summoned everyone here tonight mainly for one thing, and this matter still needs everyone's help to complete." Tang Ping, as the spokesperson, spoke on behalf of Xiao Zimo: "Everyone knows the success or failure of the food festival in the past ten years. But this year, we have brought together so many outstanding talents, and we will turn defeat into victory and win the first place! ”

Xiang Zixi sighed in her heart, I'm really not interested in the top three! I'm just here to sell potatoes! Why do you have to get me involved? Why do you have to do anything with me! Xiao Zimo, you just helped me, you completely encircled me! Even if I declare on the spot that I have no intention of participating in the food festival, I guess no one will believe me! Xiao Zimo, Xiao Zimo, I didn't expect the blackest person to be you!

Looking at Xiang Zixi's helpless expression, Xiao Zimo, who was sitting in the first place, showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jin Haoxuan looked at Xiang Zixi who was sitting in front of him uncertainly, and he also understood that Xiao Zimo's acting just now could be regarded as completely tying Xiang Zixi. It is estimated that she plans to quit now, but it is too late!

"All of you here are the nobles and strange people of Yaoguo who participated in the food festival this year, and I am honored that you appreciate it so much, and Tang is willing to be the first to express his support for the Prime Minister! No matter who the top three belong to, even if it is anyone here, the civilian group led by Tang Ping will spare no effort to help and remove obstacles! Tang Pingyi expressed his position in a nutshell.

Xiang Zixi's eyes swept Tang Ping, had he already succumbed to the obscenity of the imperial court?

Then the other nobles, I guess there is nothing to oppose, right? Originally, the nobility represented the dignity of the royal family!

Sure enough, under Tang Ping's statement, some of the nobles present expressed their willingness to win glory for Yaoguo.

Xiang Zixi and the five middle-aged men were silent, and all the eyes of the venue instantly fell on them.

However, once you express your willingness to support, then you are bound to be pushed to the forefront and even become a stepping stone for others. Well, it doesn't matter if you become a stepping stone for others, but if you fail, you will lose the opportunity to promote your own potatoes!

You know, if the competition is a team, then it is necessary to select a strong enough combination to compete internally.

Aristocrats always have their own privileges, even if the nobles are defeated, they will appear on the final stage, and once the commoners lose in the preliminaries, it will be a complete failure!

Xiang Zixi knows her skills very well, not to mention the chef, even the chef in her own family is better than herself! In the internal selection and elimination round, he failed 200%, thus completely losing the opportunity to go on the stage!

And if you refuse, then you are still an individual, you have the right to participate independently, although you will die miserably on the stage, but after all, you can go on the stage 100% and show your skills. Only when you set foot on that stage can you successfully sell your potatoes!

I don't know if those five people also hold this view, so they all remained silent.

Xiang Zixi took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and was about to speak, when suddenly, a voice came from below: "I refuse!" ”

Xiang Zixi turned his head suddenly, it was none other than the five middle-aged men who spoke!

"Oh? Tell me why! Xiao Zimo, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke lightly, although he only said a few words, but Xiang Zixi still deeply felt the cold air emanating from his body!

Xiao Zimo was furious!

The five people were forced by Xiao Zimo's momentum, and immediately took three steps back, and the table behind them was knocked to the ground at once.

The man at the head knelt down tremblingly, and said in sweat: "Prime Minister! We're just ordinary people! We finally rushed all the way to the capital, just to show our strengths, and didn't want to participate in politics, governance, struggle, and struggle! Please also fulfill the Prime Minister! ”

Xiang Zixi turned his head and looked at Xiao Zimo in horror.

Xiao Zimo closed his eyes gently, his right index finger, middle finger and thumb supported his chin together, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I understand your single-minded desire to win, but do you think my soldiers will protect you after you walk out of this door?" ”

The implication is that if you don't join our group, then you walk out of this door, and you are not responsible for life or death!

Xiang Zixi gasped in the bottom of his heart! She never thought that Xiao Zimo, who had always been humble and polite, reserved and gentle, would have such a domineering side!

The faces of those five people really became very ugly in an instant!

Of course, they know very well how many unjust souls have died in vain because of their refusal to yield to the individual contestants of the nobility or group at the food festival over the years, and if they insist on it, then they will probably be five lonely souls tonight!

Those five people figured out what was going on, and they were even more frightened!

"Ah, I, we ———— us, promise!" The five men gasped for breath and said, "We are willing to join the civilian group!" ”

Jin Haoxuan let out a long sigh in his heart, this is politics!

This move can not only seize the country's chefs to gather in one place and select them in a centralized manner, but also completely eliminate the possibility of other countries pulling foreign aid! Such a double win, probably every country has to do this once a year, right?

Now, the only one in the audience who did not express his position was probably Xiang Zixi.

All eyes were shot at Xiang Zixi's body.

Sure enough, I still have to make this damn choice myself!

Xiang Zi Xiying got up, left her seat, and stood in front of Xiao Zimo. Knelt in front of him at once!

"Xiang Xiang, you ————" Xiao Zimo stretched out his hand, and was about to grab Xiang Zixi's wrist, but was dodged by Xiang Zixi's hand, Xiao Zimo's hand, so stunned, stretched out in the air.

"Xiang Xiang, are you planning to reject me?" Xiao Zimo looked at her with complicated eyes: "Don't you know that this is the emperor's order?" Don't you know what happens if you disobey orders? Don't you know the soldiers out there——————"

"Zimo, no, I should call you, Prime Minister!" Xiang Zixi said softly: "If I abstain now, is it okay?" ”

"What did you say?!" Xiao Zimo's pupils contracted for a while, and his face was incredulous: "You worked hard to come to the capital, and now you actually want to give up to me?" Don't you know that he even —————— for you" Xiao Zimo said this, suddenly stopped, withdrew his fist in annoyance, and slammed it on the table in front of him!

Boom –

The table in front of Xiao Zimo was split in an instant!

The audience was in an uproar! The Prime Minister has always been good at talking, laughing, and angry, but tonight he was furious because of a woman! What the hell is this woman?

Jin Haoxuan is the person who knows Xiang Zixi best, he got up lightly, came to Xiao Zimo's face, and said lightly: "Let's quit the others and have a good talk, is it okay?" ”

Xiao Zimo's anger did not subside, but Tang Ping was very discerning, and immediately said: "Everyone, I'm sorry, please follow me down to the second side hall and take a seat!" ”

Soon, a pair of maids and Xiao Er lined up at the same time, leaving the banquet with the others, and moving the banquet to the second side hall not far from here.

There were only four people left in the entire huge venue: Xiao Zimo, Jin Haoxuan, Xiang Zixi, and Xin Zeyang.

"Towards you! You won't tell me that you don't know Xiahou's identity yet, right? Xiao Zimo forcibly suppressed his anger, and stared at Xiang Zixi without turning his eyes: "Even if you don't know his identity, then ——————"

"I've guessed it! He's probably the emperor of Yaoguo, right? Xiang Zixi smiled lightly, stood up from the ground, and said indifferently: "He appeared with you and disappeared together." I already guessed when you identified yourself. However, what I don't understand is, why do you have to pull me in? You have been with me for so long, you should know that my goal is not in the top three of the food festival, and you still don't know what kind of craft I have? ”

"Xiang Xiang, don't talk yet, listen to him finish talking first!" Jin Haoxuan stopped Xiang Zixi: "Brother Xiao doesn't hesitate to use this method to invite us over, there must be something to say to us!" ”

Xiao Zimo glanced at Jin Haoxuan unexpectedly, nodded lightly and said, "Not bad!" I do have my own reasons for doing this. ”

"Xiang Xiang, I once told you that you are being targeted by many people and want what you have in your hands. I don't know who or what you're protecting, and I've always denied it. Okay, I can ignore that, but I can't watch you get hurt to death by someone else! Xiao Zimo was still angry, and he didn't even look at Zixi: "Do you know that if you appear in the capital, it is equivalent to a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger, and under the guise of this food festival, you will be assassinated at any time!" Even if you have Brother Jin's protection, but, if you fall into the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, you really don't have any suspense of escaping! ”

Xiang Zixi's eyes lit up.

"Since he knew that you had taken the official seal of the county government and left Wuxian and came to the capital, he began to worry about your safety. He instructed me to keep you safe at all costs! And the safest place in the capital is here! Once we are united in our country, this place will be solid! I don't know what you're here for, but you can only achieve any of your goals if you're alive, aren't you? Xiao Zimo said helplessly: "Xiang Xiang, the emperor has been spoiled since he was a child, and you are the first person he wants to protect!" ”

"Ahh I know! I see! Xiang Zixi breathed a sigh of relief: "This guy is quite righteous, and he actually remembers my friend!" ”

Listening to Xiang Zixi's words, Jin Haoxuan and Xiao Zimo's eyes widened at the same time!
