Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Final of the Food Festival Begins
The final of the food festival has finally arrived.
Jin Haoxuan really fulfilled his promise and found two extremely skilled cooks for Xiang Zixi. In the following time, Xiang Zixi stayed in the kitchen with the two cooks in white and black, told his recipes completely, and then began to try dishes day and night. Finally, before the finals began, I tried all the dishes. Of course, it was only to know from Zi Xi that there were dozens of practices.
With a strong helper, Xiang Zixi can finally breathe a sigh of relief. At that time, you don't have to come forward in person, but as a manager and a leader, it is enough to coordinate.
The night before the competition, after Xiang Zixi finished tasting the last dish, he gave a thumbs up to the two chefs, and then bowed deeply to the two chefs very solemnly: "Tomorrow, it's hard for two!" Once this campaign is successful, I will definitely thank you with a lot of money! β
When the two cooks saw Xiang Zi Xi so formal and so serious to ask themselves, they almost knelt on the ground with weak feet: "Miss, we can't afford it!" We're just cooks! How can you be such a big gift for Miss! This is our business, so please rest assured, Miss! As long as we are on this day, we will never let Miss down for a day! β
After sending off the two cooks, Xiang Zixi couldn't take a break, and had to discuss the placement of the stall and the distribution of personnel with others.
Because of the increase in the number of people, it has become easier to do other things. Shen Zhuangmeng for ten days in a row, was busy with his maid to draw a leaflet, and then by the little fat and others on the street to distribute, all passers-by, each hand, take the tactics of crowds, be sure to win a full house on the first day.
And the contestants who squeezed into the finals, Jin Haoxuan also inquired clearly, in addition to Xiang Zixi, a group of civilians who freely participated, to qualify for the finals, there were eighty-eight nobles and thirty-six players from the civilian group who stood out. Together with Xiang Zixi, there are a total of 125 stalls, which will compete for the final top three list.
Just when everyone was busy preparing for the finals of the food festival, Jin Haoxuan ushered in one of the least dangerous assassinations of his life.
On the night before the finals of the food festival, Jin Haoxuan came to the outside of the palace alone according to his own routine and his own habits, and when he was about to connect with his subordinates, a low sound of breaking the air suddenly aroused his vigilance.
"Be careful! ββββ" Jin Haoxuan pushed his subordinates away, and the folding fan in his hand was opened, knocking down all the hidden weapons that were attacking onward.
A masked man quietly appeared in front of Jin Haoxuan's eyes. The man was dressed in night clothes, masked, and carried a long knife in his hands that did not fit the killer. The masked man appeared in Jin Haoxuan's sight in a half-squatting position, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eye.
Very good, Jin Haoxuan has fully recovered, so it is time for him to fulfill his duties.
Jin Haoxuan's pupils shrank suddenly! Although the other party was dressed in a night suit and covered himself with airtightness, he was as keen as he was, and he still noticed the subtleties of the other party, and he was so familiar.
"I really didn't expect you to hide so deeply." Jin Haoxuan's folding fan opened in his hand, covering his facial expression, and whispered to his subordinates behind him: "You guys withdraw first!" More on that later! β
The subordinate took three steps back, hugged his fist at Jin Haoxuan, and left with a sigh.
The man in black on the opposite side did not catch up. In other words, his goal was just Jin Haoxuan, and for others, it didn't matter whether they were dead or alive. The other party only bought Jin Haoxuan's life, but did not include other people's lives. As long as others are interested, he will not buy one and get one free, which inexplicably increases his workload.
Jin Haoxuan put away the folding fan and said indifferently: "Since you have discovered me a long time ago, why did you wait until now to do it?" I don't think you're kind enough to wait until I'm recovered! Isn't it, Ji Yanββββ"
Jin Haoxuan dropped the last two words, his body had already risen from the ground, and he rushed over quickly at the man who was half-squatting on the ground, and the folding fan in his hand slapped at the other party fiercely.
The other party was not in a hurry, pulled out the long knife behind him, and gently blocked Jin Haoxuan's attack.
He gently grabbed his mask and said with a smile: "Ahhhhh It's really boring! β
The person who assassinated Jin Haoxuan was none other than Ji Yan!
"Originally, I was going to wait for you to play after the game, but I can't help it, my club can't wait, you must let me keep you in the capital!" Ji Yan smiled uninhibitedly: "Didn't you already know my purpose?" Why not leave? Why do you want to stay by Xiang Xiang's side? β
The folding fan in Jin Haoxuan's hand was picked up, and the long knife in Ji Yan's hand was picked up at once. With a swoop, he pointed at the back of Ji Yan's head.
The long knife in Ji Yan's hand took advantage of the situation, drove his body, and was extremely dexterous to dodge Jin Haoxuan's attack.
"The reason why you are killing me now is because of Xiang Xiang?" A faint smile appeared at the corner of Jin Haoxuan's mouth: "Because, as long as I die, there will be no one to deal with Xiang Xiang, right?" β
"Ahh The long knife in Ji Yan's hand greeted him fiercely, and Jin Haoxuan, who was chopping, had to take advantage of it, and kept dodging Ji Yan's fierce attacks: "Sharing with each other, Jin Haoxuan, if you die, everyone will be fine." I can complete my task, and Xiang Xiang can avoid being affected by you! So, you'd better die happily!! β
The long knife in Ji Yan's hand suddenly twisted incredibly, pressed against Jin Haoxuan's chest, and slid over quickly!
ββββ Jin Haoxuan jumped away three feet away in embarrassment. A hole had been torn out on his chest, and the blood quickly soaked the clothes on his chest, and the snow-white clothes were delicate and magnificent.
"However, I, Jin Haoxuan, am not so easy to kill. Unless I want to die, no one can decide on their own! Jin Haoxuan instantly burst out, and the folding fan in his hand was suddenly thrown aside, replaced by the spear that his Chang Xiao had transformed.
The gun shook and went straight to Ji Yan's front door. Ji Yan was suddenly startled, and the long knife in his hand knocked down the spears stabbed by the other party one by one. At this time, Jin Haoxuan's sudden burst of strength suddenly surprised Ji Yan!
"Ji Yan! He asked you to kill me, right? Jin Haoxuan's eyes suddenly flashed with resentment: "He hired you, didn't he?" β
Ji Yan didn't say anything, just smiled faintly: "Since we have already made it clear, I might as well tell you the truth." I won't give you the buyer's information, but for the sake of the one I worked with, I can answer you, if you die, then everyone will be safe. On the contrary, as long as you live, then there will be more people eyeing Xiangxiang! β
"Really?" The spear in Jin Haoxuan's hand trembled again, and the indifference in his eyes gradually spread to his whole body: "I will protect Xiang Xiang with my life, I don't need to prove this to anyone!" β
The long knife in Ji Yan's hand suddenly stopped, and his face was calm: "Jin Haoxuan, then let me ask you, how do you plan to treat Xiang Xiang?" Do you want her to be your concubine or will you just hang her like this forever and not give her the title she deserves? You should know that it is absolutely impossible for you to talk to her! β
"Sure enough, in fact, you want to do it to me for Xiang Xiang." Jin Haoxuan also put away his weapon and smiled wryly: "You've been waiting for so long, so naturally you don't care about waiting a few more days." You chose to do it to me the night before the final, it looks like you've gotten some news, right? β
Ji Yan smiled bitterly: "Jin Haoxuan, I came here tonight to remind you, I am optimistic about Xiang Xiang, there are people who want to do it against Xiang Xiang in the finals." Although I really don't like you very much, not only because you are my target, but also because Xiang Xiang actually chose you, but I can't come forward because of my identity, so her safety can only be handed over to you. β
Ji Yan slowly put the long knife in his hand into the sheath, slowly turned around and left, and said as he walked: "One of the people who want to move against Xiang Xiang in the finals is your fiancΓ©e!" Jin Haoxuan, the next time we meet in battle, I won't put away the knife if there is no result, you are so self-conscious! β
Looking at the back of Ji Yan leaving, Jin Haoxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Princess Ziqing's methods, he is more familiar with than anyone else, but will Ziqing really ignore his warnings and forcibly attack him?
Soon after Ji Yan left, the man who had just left quietly reappeared, knelt behind Jin Haoxuan on one leg, bowed down and said, "Master." β
"Tell me about the information you've found." Jin Haoxuan reached out and touched the wound on his body, the wound was very shallow, it can be seen that Ji Yan really showed mercy, otherwise, he would have had a chance to poison him.
"Yes." That person stood up respectfully, stood beside Jin Haoxuan, and said this and this for a long time.
Jin Haoxuan's face became more and more ugly, and when he heard the end, his eyes were even more cold, his hands were clenched, and his finger joints crackled: "Damn!" Sure enough, it was him! Very well, since he dares to do this, then he should be ready to meet my revenge! You go back and keep watching! Well done, I will definitely reward it again! β
The man bowed back and walked away quickly.
Jin Haoxuan put away the spear in his hand, looked around, and left quietly.
As the night goes down, people who are asleep are looking forward to the food festival that starts tomorrow and the free meal that will satisfy their cravings once a year without breaking the bank.
But no one thought that the seemingly stable capital had an undercurrent surging around in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to devour. The forces of all parties are eyeing each other, and it depends on who can win this battle.
