Chapter 1019

This silver tray was custom-made, five feet long and two and a half feet wide, with a huge silver lid on top.

All three had keen hearing and could hear the sound of oil popping inside the lid.

Sure enough, it was just out of the oven.

He Lingchuan rubbed his hands: "Our Nuanxiang Study has a chef who came from the Ya Nation, most skilled at roasting whole pigs and sheep. Today's ingredients are particularly rare, even I am having this mouth-blessing for the first time."

No one picked up the conversation, but he talked to himself, not feeling embarrassed at all.

The waiter left quickly and closed the door by the way.

There were seven or eight guards like Lu Qiuwei in this spacious private room, but they all stood in the corners of the room; only Qiu Hu stood behind He Lingchuan, first placing a sound-insulation barrier for the entire private room, then staring closely at the other two guests.

"I'm starving!" He Lingchuan picked up the silver chopsticks and was the first to pick up a piece of sizzling pen-tube squid, "You two don't be polite, eat as much as you want!"

This pen-tube squid was just right, gathering smoothness, crispness, tenderness, and charred fragrance, with plump paste rice in the middle of each piece, paired with a unique sauce, successfully promoted to the second favorite dish of He Lingchuan in the Yangshan Archipelago.

Wanqi Feng was burdened with worries, where would he have the heart to move his chopsticks? He Lingchuan urged him: "Eat, what are you stunned for?"

"Come, come, everyone try it!" He Lingchuan was as enthusiastic as an innkeeper, "This wormwood was picked from the lakeside of Ding Lake this morning, just in season, crisp, tender, and fresh."

Wanqi Feng reluctantly picked up a chopstick of tender stir-fried wormwood buds, eating without taste.

Yu Zecheng slapped the table: "Island Master He doesn't need to put on an act. Where are my subordinates?"

"What subordinates?" He Lingchuan wondered, "Aren't the people you brought all here in the Nuanxiang Study?"

Yu Zecheng's face was as heavy as water: "Stop playing dumb! The Yangshan Archipelago is just a tiny place, and you, a tiny island master like a savage, dare to detain Beijia's warriors?"

"Beijia's warriors?" He Lingchuan turned to ask Qiu Hu, "Are there any Beijia people on our island?"

Qiu Hu was serious: "I heard from Nizi that there were a few Beijia merchants staying on Suoding Island tonight, but none of them were in the Hot Spring Villa."

He Lingchuan said "oh": "Mr. Yu also brought merchants? But I don't recognize the crime of detaining them..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Zecheng slapped the table: "He Xiao, don't think you have the support of the Mu Nation's State Preceptor. The demons Beijia wants to catch and the people it wants to kill will not escape even if they run to the ends of the earth! You release my people now, and this grudge will be wiped out; otherwise, just wait to be burned to ashes by State Preceptor Shuangye and Beijia's fury!"

He stayed on Suoding Island, from the beginning of the plan to now, and never worried about his own safety.

So what if he teamed up with the Bailong people, so what if he blocked Zhu Erniang; would this guy surnamed He really dare to touch a hair on his head? The doors and windows were tightly closed, and this slap on the table echoed in the room, the lingering sound endless.

He Lingchuan looked at him and slowly put away his smile.

"Mr. Yu wants to show his cards? Good!" As his face sank, the fierce and ruthless temperament floated up, completely different from the handsome and gentle Island Master He just now, "Let's show our cards!"

"Ahu!" He Lingchuan pointed his chin at the special large silver tray, "Serve today's main course!"

Qiu Hu immediately walked over and lifted the silver lid.

The strange fragrance of barbecue hit his nose, and even Wanqi Feng, who was full of worries, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Just for this rich fragrance, the chef of the Nuanxiang Study really had two brushes.

He Lingchuan said this chef was skilled at roasting whole sheep and pigs, but this creature roasted to a golden-red and slightly brown color was much thinner than a pig, with sharp teeth in its mouth, and didn't look like a sheep either.

The oil flowers on the meat skin were still sizzling.

Yu Zecheng didn't know what this thing was, and didn't know what it had to do with "showing cards," only sizing it up with suspicious eyes: "What is the meaning of this, don't confuse..."

He Lingchuan said unhurriedly: "Fubao, report the dish name."

"Distinguished guests, this is secret fragrant meat!" Wang Fubao introduced very happily, "Our Nuanxiang Study's Chef Wang is best at making fragrant meat, with a family secret recipe. But there are no dogs tonight, and a wolf demon happened to be caught in the kitchen, so wolf meat was used instead. This is Chef Wang's unique skill, whole wolf hanging furnace barbecue, guaranteed to be fat, fragrant, and juicy! Although wolf meat is a bit tough, it is chewy..."

Yu Zecheng was first incredulous, and then stood up, every word squeezed out from between his teeth:

"He Xiao, do you really not want to live?"

With a few clangs, the nearby Yangshan guards drew their blades one after another.

Wanqi Feng didn't see what was going on, but Yu Zecheng of course knew that one of the subordinates he sent east to capture Zhu Erniang was a wolf demon! He actually took his subordinate to make a dish and served it to him to eat! This guy surnamed He was young, so vicious, so crazy! Besides shock and anger, Yu Zecheng's eyes were full of incredulity: "You don't want to live, and you want to drag the whole island to be buried with you?!"

"What's the problem?" He Lingchuan raised his eyes, and Qiu Hu picked up the silver knife on the side and cut a piece of fragrant rib meat and handed it over.

He Lingchuan picked it up and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly: "Sure enough, it's delicious! Old Min was right, this demon with cultivation, the taste is really different!"

"Ahu, cut a piece of good meat for Mr. Yu too."

Yu Zecheng said gloomily: "He Xiao, you actually dare to turn Beijia's warriors into..."

"Yu Zecheng!" He Lingchuan called his name directly for the first time, and used true power, "Be careful with your words!"

This low shout was like a muffled thunder on a sunny day, instantly interrupting Yu Zecheng's following words.

Wanqi Feng was confused at first, but looking at the dish and then at the furious Yu Zecheng and the triumphant Wang Fubao, he seemed to understand something.

Wolf meat? Wolf... wolf demon? No way? Facing Beijia's military general, how could Island Master He dare to use such cruel means for his counterattack?

Was this island master crazy, actually offending Beijia to death!

He Lingchuan turned to look at him.

That gaze was bottomless, and Wanqi Feng felt a chill in his heart.

Turning Beijia's demons into dishes and giving them to Beijia's envoy to eat, this kind of thing was definitely not something an ordinary person could do. Island Master He used such means against Beijia people, how would he treat their Bailong people?

How could he think that Island Master He was gentle and easy to talk to? At this moment, he really wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

Naive, stupid! How did he find such an opponent for the Bailong people! He Lingchuan pointed to the roasted whole wolf: "This is a stray wild wolf demon, and several stray wild people were caught on Suoding Island. Yu Zecheng, are you saying these were all sent by Beijia?"

Yu Zecheng opened his mouth to answer, but He Lingchuan preempted him: "You'd better think carefully, the Yangshan Archipelago doesn't bear this kind of charge, and I don't either. So, the person who dares to slander me will definitely not walk out of this private room!"

Qiu Hu had already cut off a few ribs and casually inserted the silver knife into the table, making a "thud" muffled sound.

The knife handle was still trembling.

Yu Zecheng laughed out of extreme anger: "Good, good, you dare to threaten me?"

"Haven't you heard, disaster comes from the mouth?" He Lingchuan smiled without smiling, "If you say the wrong thing, there will be heavenly punishment; tonight there is a hurricane and Emperor Flowing Pulp, and even the Suoding Island pier will explode for no reason. Maybe this private room will be struck by lightning and catch fire, and the diners will die unfortunately."

"If heaven wants people to die, does it care if you are from Beijia?" He Lingchuan picked up a piece of wolf meat again, chewing slowly, "When Beijia investigates later, I can only say that the celestial phenomena were abnormal tonight, Mr. Yu's life was not long, what a pity, what a sigh."

Wasn't Yu Zecheng relying on his status as a Beijia military official to stir up trouble on his island, fearless?

He Lingchuan now wanted him to know that tonight, the status he was proud of was just paper-pasted!

Once pierced, his confidence would have no pillar, and his arrogance would be riddled with holes.

"Yes, by that time Mr. Yu will no longer be in the human world, naturally not knowing these later words."

Translate this:

Even if Beijia settles accounts with me, you will die before me! When your own life is about to be gone, what reliance and chips do you have?

Yu Zecheng stared at him dead.

This guy is calm, is he talking big, or does he really dare to kill him? Should he try, should he gamble?

"Showing cards is also your loss, why bother?" He Lingchuan picked up a piece of crystal elbow, "Sit. My neck is a bit tired from talking."

Yu Zecheng was not Wanqi Feng; He Lingchuan let him sit and he would sit, but the three Lu Qiuwei behind him immediately leaned close, reaching out to buckle his shoulders.

"The Lord lets you sit!"

Yu Zecheng wouldn't wait for death, while flipping the table, he turned sideways and raised his leg to attack the Rongshan people behind him.

In a blink of an eye, he had exchanged two moves with each of the three, his offensive very sharp.

But the table wasn't flipped, because He Lingchuan pressed a palm on the dining table, and the various dishes only made a "buzz" sound, and not even the soup spilled.

Yu Zecheng fought halfway, and felt a breeze by his temple; it turned out to be Qiu Hu's sand-bowl-sized fist.

He took Qiu Hu's two punches hard, only feeling his wrists were abnormally painful.

This guy had some strange strength.

The retreat paths in front, back, left, and right were all blocked; he really couldn't beat the four opposite him alone.

He Lingchuan shouted at the right time: "Stop!"

Qiu Hu's fist stopped in front of Yu Zecheng's chest, only half an inch away.

The latter pushed Lu Qiuwei away and said to He Lingchuan with hatred: "You don't care about the consequences of your actions?"

"You are quite considerate for me, but it has nothing to do with you." He Lingchuan was neither yin nor yang, "Let's speak clearly, do you want to live or die?"

Phew, putting on an act was also quite tiring.

Yu Zecheng didn't answer.

This question couldn't be answered.

"Is this wolf demon yours from Beijia?" He Lingchuan pointed to tonight's main course, "Think carefully before answering. Is it, or is it not?"

Qiu Hu also paced back to the table and pulled out the silver knife.

Once Yu Zecheng gave an affirmative answer, this knife would have a place to be used.

Yu Zecheng's good teeth ground together.

This guy, bullying people too much! "Why are you so persistent?" He Lingchuan sighed helplessly, "Saying it's not, you won't lose a piece of meat; saying it is, what value does your sacrifice tonight have? Will Beijia name you a martyr, will it be proud of you?"

"As long as you die here, this whole thing from beginning to end is a joke." He Lingchuan asked him, "Do you want to use your own death to prove your incompetence?"
