Under some politeness, Zhao Yanping also brought Qin Pojun to the banquet, and as for the other forty or so Heavenly Dragon Guards and Shadow Dance Swordsmen, they were also beckoned by Yu Bo to rest in the side hall.

Soon, under the leadership of Zhao Wan'er, the eleven delicious dishes cooked by Xiao Ling were also sent up one by one.

Qin Pojun, whose facial expression had never changed, obviously flashed a strange look in his eyes when he saw a table full of delicacies that he had never seen before.

Especially the tempting fragrance that kept wafting out made Qin Pojun's index finger move.

However, this change was only in an instant, although Qin Pojun was only fifteen years old, his mind was already different from his peers under the Qin family's training, otherwise Duan Chentian would not have sent him this time.

I saw that Qin Pojun asked quietly: "Master Zhao, who is the hand of these delicacies, Pojun is not boasting, but in Yanjing, he has tasted all the delicacies from all over the world, but he has never seen such a novel dish, and it looks appetizing." ”

Hearing Qin Pojun's words, Zhao Yanping was also happy in his heart, and said with a smile on his lips: "Qin Gongzi doesn't know, a few months ago, a skilled cook came to my Zhao Mansion, and these delicacies on the table are all from him. Qin Gongzi tastes it first, and if necessary, I will introduce it later. ”

Hearing this, Qin Pojun nodded, no longer spoke, but concentrated on dealing with the food on the table.

When Zhao Yanping saw Qin Pojun's appearance, he also gave Zhao Wan'er a satisfied look at the side, Zhao Wan'er nodded knowingly, and then walked towards the backyard.

Soon, Zhao Wan'er came to the kitchen and found Xiao Ling.

Seeing Zhao Wan'er coming back, Xiao Ling also asked casually, "Miss, can the dishes I make satisfy that distinguished guest?"

When Zhao Wan'er heard this, she said with a smile: "Don't worry, just now I saw that the guest saw the table full of delicacies, and without saying a word, he began to bury his head in hard work, but I am afraid that he will ignore my father for a while." ”

When Xiao Ling heard Zhao Wan'er's words, she smiled and said, "That's fine, so I can go back to rest, right?"

Zhao Wan'er saw that Xiao Ling was so lazy, and couldn't help but give him a funny look, but there was really no matter for Xiao Ling next, so she also said casually: "Okay, you're tired for a day, I'll let you go today, but don't forget to make me a table of delicacies just now." Now I realize that compared to today, what you made for me and Xiao Xu in the past was simply pig food. ”

Hearing Zhao Wan'er say this, Xiao Ling couldn't cry or laugh.

Although the dishes he made for the two sisters before were relatively ordinary, they were several times better than the food on this continent, so why did it become pig food in Zhao Wan'er's mouth today.

However, Xiao Ling was very wise not to argue with Zhao Wan'er, but just hurriedly left.

But when he was about to step out of the kitchen yard, he was unexpectedly stopped.

Looking at the murderous team of people in front of him, Xiao Ling couldn't help but be stunned, and didn't understand what was going on at all.

Subsequently, Zhao Wan'er seemed to hear the movement outside and followed out, and when she saw these people, she was also surprised.

Zhao Wan'er had seen these people in front of her before, and they were the guards who came with Qin Pojun, but they were just some temporarily mobilized guards, and their strength was naturally not as good as those shadow dance swordsmen and Tianlong guards around Qin Pojun.

At this time, above the lobby of the Zhao Mansion, Qin Pojun also put down the tableware in his hand, gently wiped his mouth, and then said lightly: "Master Zhao, thank you for your hospitality." The cooking skills of this cook under you are another eye-opener. ”

When Zhao Yanping heard this, he smiled and said: "Qin Gongzi Liao praised, if Qin Gongzi likes it, you can come to my house at any time." ”

After hearing this, a hint of strange color flashed in Qin Pojun's eyes, and then he smiled faintly: "I'm afraid that the proposal of the Zhao family master will not be able to be done." ”

After a pause, Qin Pojun continued: "Isn't the Zhao family master curious, the purpose of bringing people to the Sea City this time?"

When Zhao Yanping heard this, he looked at Qin Pojun puzzled, not understanding why he suddenly talked about it, but a bad thought suddenly rose in his heart for some reason.

However, Zhao Yanping is also a character who is used to seeing big scenes, and his face did not show any different color at this moment, but said lightly: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Qin Powu showed a smile on his face and said, "Master Zhao, in fact, I came here for you this time. ”

"Coming for me?" Zhao Yanping said in a deep voice with slightly condensed eyes, but his heart beat violently a few times.

Qin Powu saw that Zhao Yan was vigilant, his face did not change, and then said, "Doesn't the Zhao family master know what he has done?"

Zhao Yanping was stunned for a moment, and his heart was even more uneasy, and said, "I don't understand what Gongzi Qin said. ”

Qin Powu stood up suddenly, and the eight shadow dance swordsmen behind him immediately followed, and eight strangely shaped sharp long swords instantly appeared, pointing directly at Zhao Yanping.

Several guards of the Zhao family changed their faces greatly, and they also drew their weapons and stood in front of Zhao Yanping.

"Master Zhao, today I am on the orders of His Majesty, come to arrest you and others, if you resist, you will be killed on the spot. Although Qin Powu was young, his words were extremely harsh.

When Zhao Yanping heard this, his face became extremely ugly, and he said in disbelief: "Why is this, my Zhao family has been in business for several generations, and has always kept to himself, Qin Powu, you are not pretending to be Your Majesty's order to try to take away my Zhao family's property." ”

Qin Powu snorted coldly and said, "Zhao Yanping, although your Zhao family has a big family in the Sea City, my Qin family is one of the three great families of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, how can I be rare for you to have these things." ”

After a pause, Qin Powu then said: "It's okay, I'll tell you to die, do you remember the attack on the major families in Zihai City a few days ago?"

Zhao Yanping didn't know why Qin Powu brought up this matter, but he still replied: "Naturally, I know that my Zhao family was also attacked by those unidentified assassins and suffered heavy losses. Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that those assassins were sent by Zhao?"

Qin Powu smiled coldly and said, "The Zhao family master is meticulous and well-planned, but the wise man also has a hundred secrets, let me ask you, how is your Zhao family's strength in the Sea City?"

"What does Qin Gongzi mean by this?" Zhao Yanping said puzzled.

"Don't you understand what I mean, why are the major families in the City of the Sea suffering heavy casualties when they encounter assassins, but you, the Zhao Mansion, have only a few dead guards. With the strength of your Zhao family in the Sea City, if you hadn't secretly colluded with those assassins, how could you have survived to this day?" Qin Powu said in a gradually sharp tone.

As he spoke, Qin Powu took an account handed over by the Shadow Dancing Swordsman behind him, and then threw it on the table.

"This is the account that my subordinates searched from your room before the banquet just now, which records some of your transactions in the Lingyun Empire, including some deep-rooted forces in the Lingyun Empire, what else do you have to explain?" Qin Powu looked at Zhao Yanping coldly and said.

When Zhao Yanping saw Qin Powu throw out the account, it was like being struck by lightning.

Zhao Yan has been doing business for many years, and his mind is naturally very delicate, and he immediately thought about the whole thing thoroughly.

This is clearly someone's deliberate move against the Zhao family.

Presumably, the assassination incident in Zihai City a few years ago was originally to deal with him.

If those assassins were able to destroy the Zhao family at the beginning, it would naturally be a good thing, but if the operation failed, they could be framed and blamed.

What a serial plan!

What kind of character did the Zhao family provoke to use such a big deal against the Zhao family? Zhao Yanping kept guessing in his heart.

As for the account, Zhao Yanping didn't know how to explain it.

He is a businessman, the Zhao family has been operating for several generations, and the business is naturally very widely distributed, and there are naturally some industries of the Zhao family in the Lingyun Empire, although they are not big, but they are real.

Now it is being used by the people behind it, but it has become ironclad evidence of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

Zhao Yanping looked at the murderous group of people in front of him, knowing that he was at a loss for words at the moment, and was thinking about how to solve the situation in front of him, but he didn't expect that there was a miserable cry in the backyard.

Zhao Yanping's face changed at the moment, and then he said angrily: "Qin family child, you deceive people too much. ”

Seeing this, Qin Powu was unmoved, waved his hand lightly, motioned to the shadow dance swordsman behind him to move, and said: "Take it, except for the people of the Zhao family, the rest of the people will be killed, so as to prevent future troubles." ”

After the shadow dance swordsman behind him received the order, he suddenly showed his figure, and the long sword in his hand turned into several streamers of light and stabbed towards several guards beside Zhao Yanping.

The dancing sword shadows in the sky, worthy of these people will be called shadow dancing swordsmen.

At this time, in the backyard, Xiao Ling pulled Tang Wan'er and quickly retreated, while those guards were holding long swords and pressing towards the two of them step by step, looking at the posture, they were afraid that they would kill the two of them on the spot.

Xiao Ling couldn't figure out why these people suddenly shot at him like crazy, just when he was stunned and didn't know what to do, fortunately, Ling Xiao in his mind was vigilant, and he noticed the abnormality of the two early in the morning, so he hurriedly reminded Xiao Ling to retreat.

After receiving Ling Xiao's reminder, Xiao Ling was also clever, so she pulled Tang Wan'er over and hid behind the kitchen.

It just so happened that at this time, Steward Yan also heard the movement outside the courtyard and walked out with a group of people.

This strict housekeeper is also loyal, seeing that those guards did something to his young lady, he stopped in front of Zhao Wan'er without saying a word, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing, this is Zhao Mansion." ”

The guards turned a deaf ear to Steward Yan's words, and without saying anything, they raised their swords and stabbed them into Steward Yan's chest.

Poor steward Yan has a weak body, how can he be the opponent of these wolf-like guards.

At that moment, his body shook and convulsed, and he fell down softly.

I don't know where Steward Yan suddenly got the strength, I saw that his body that was about to fall was actually hugging the thigh of one of the guards, and shouted to Xiao Ling with a painful face: "Let's go, quickly take the young lady out of here." ”
