C102 The title is fresh out of the oven
Just as the whole world was affected by the 'chicken leg theory', Murong Fenghuang, as the person involved, did not care about all the rumors and rumors outside at all, resolutely opposing the delicacies in front of him.
After going through a few days of 'pastries' torture, it was rare for him to be able to gobble down a single piece of meat in front of Murong Fenghuang.
I've seen people who can eat, but I've never seen them eat so much. Even Situ Qingtian, who was fully aware of Murong Fenghuang's appetite, was completely shocked. She suspected that her wife was possessed by some kind of 'hungry spirit', and that this' hungry spirit 'did not seem to have eaten enough for tens of thousands of years.
The reason why they were 'shocked' was completely because this was the sixteenth time they were delivering food in the kitchen. 'Pots, pots, and pans' were stacked into a couple of piles, making it difficult to see Murong Fenghuang herself.
Can a man's stomach hold so much? Everyone could not help but feel puzzled. However, when they looked at the Matriarch's bulging stomach, they instantly understood the truth. Was the Matriarch transforming grief into anger into appetite? Forcefully eating until his stomach bulged?
After the incident with the female ghost and chicken leg, the Situ Family once again entered into the affair with the 'Great Gastric King'.
"Sigh, people really can't eat too much!" After a long while, Murong Fenghuang finally put down the last empty plate, and also stopped her servants from going to get food.
Everyone didn't say anything, but thought in their hearts, "You finally realized this problem?" This is already the twenty-seventh time you've brought a meal. Do you finally know that you've eaten too much? "
"Let's leave it at that for today. Eating eighty percent full is the healthiest!" Murong Fenghuang patted her bulging stomach, burped, and wiped her mouth as she spoke while standing up.
"BOOM!" Everyone at the scene had fallen.
The Matriarch hadn't eaten her fill! Everyone finally saw it for themselves! What does it mean to not have the most to eat, only to have the most to eat.
Next, without needing to think about it, one could tell that Murong Fenghuang's title of 'Giant Eating' had spread far and wide. Although the city that the Situ Family was in was huge, it still could not stop the spread of the news. Murong Fenghuang once again rose to the top of the Big News's leaderboard, and was publicly acknowledged by the continent as the 'number one person on the continent who eats the most'. Why isn't it 'the number one woman on the continent who eats the most'? This was because all the men on the continent were ashamed to admit that they did not have such a terrifying appetite. Although some people had tried it before, they couldn't even eat a third of it before their stomach broke and they quickly sent it to the doctor.
Of course, not everyone was so vulgar as to only study this aspect of eating. A portion of the people here had confirmed the two possibilities of Murong Fenghuang's poisoning, either that she was fake and had not been poisoned, or that her poison had been completely cured. From how much food she could eat, it could be seen how healthy she was right now, and how 'excessive' her appetite!
Within the imperial palace, the imperial study.
"Murong Fenghuang can actually eat that much? How can Situ Qingtian afford it! " The emperor who was sitting upright on the dragon throne said in embarrassment. In his hand was the intelligence report he had collected recently, but of course the headline said that Murong Fenghuang had gained the title of 'The number one eater in the entire continent'.
"Hehe." Eunuch Wei stood by the side with his hands hanging by his sides. He did not reply, but only laughed. What a joke, Murong Fenghuang had many suitors in the past, including the current emperor. Faced with the emperor's question, no matter what, it would be inappropriate to answer. She might as well just shut her mouth and use the usual cold words' hehe '. Anyway, she was going to change the topic.
"How is the internal cleaning going in the capital?" As expected, the emperor immediately got down to business and asked about the recent clean-up in the imperial city.
"The progress was very smooth. All the ministries had obtained their rewards, and the Imperial Guards were basically cleared of their secret equipment, which was used as a clue for cleaning the officials of the imperial court and the underground powers. Of course, according to His Majesty's instructions, cleaning the officials and the underground powers was much more relaxed, as it did not disrupt the original balance of power. All the forces were injured to different degrees, so they were probably all licking their wounds and treating their injuries right now." Furthermore, the cleanliness within the imperial capital was strictly controlled and did not spread to any place. However, some of the ripples were unavoidable! " The Eunuch Wei answered honestly.
This time, eagle eye and Imperial Overwatch Council have coordinated very well, and the efficiency is also very high! Wei Lao has worked hard! " His Majesty smiled and comforted him.
"Your Majesty, you're being too serious. This is this old servant's responsibility. This old servant has promised the late emperor that I will take good care of him!" Eunuch Wei was even one of the three officials. At that moment, no matter how much the Emperor tried to incite them, they should not feel that their hard work was good. Even the wise emperors did not like their subordinates to be complacent. One had to know that the phrase 'companion Monarch and' tiger 'was not that simple.
"How's the situation with Situ Family?!" His Majesty knew this eunuch's temperament very well. He had accompanied him ever since she was young, at least in the imperial capital. The one he trusted the most was this eunuch.
"Currently, news has spread and everything is proceeding according to plan, everything is proceeding rather smoothly. However, because of the sudden incident with Madam Situ, the people from the Surveillance Council were a little confused, but they still made up for it in time and did not let the other party escape. A commander Zhao of the Surveillance Council was leading a group of people to clear out the strongholds. According to their route, they should be reaching the Ming Hui City soon. "
"Oh? Southeastern part of the Empire? Interesting, as far as I know, the Dragon Lake Mountain Range is over there! " His Majesty pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of a thorny place in the southeastern part of the empire that had once been the home of an expert from the Imperial Overwatch Council.
"Not bad, your majesty is indeed knowledgeable!" Eunuch Wei knew what the emperor was thinking and he couldn't help but praise him. He also thought that the emperor was able to notice other things through the surface information he received every day, but based on this, he was still very pleased. After all, the emperor was wise and wise, and was of great benefit to all the people in the world. If it were a foggy monarch, the whole world would be annihilated.
"Then, will the people on their path encounter any danger?" The Eunuch Wei must know that His Majesty knew what he wanted to ask. Although he wanted to ask about the safety of the personnel in charge of the mission, in reality, what His Majesty wanted to say was his next plan and response.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This old servant will make the necessary arrangements!" The Eunuch Wei smiled mysteriously, and pretended to 'act cool', and continued to talk.
"Oh? It seems like the other party is going to suffer a loss! " His Majesty knew that the Eunuch Wei did not have complete confidence at the moment, otherwise they would not have kept him in suspense, so he did not speak any further, and continued to read the imperial reports with his head lowered.
Eunuch Wei stood by the side with his hands folded. However, his eyes were closed, and no one knew if he was resting with his eyes closed. In truth, this old thing was sleeping. After all, he had been serving the emperor for so many years.
"Huff, huff ?" Sure enough, not long later, a light snoring sound came out from Eunuch Wei's mouth.
The king seemed to be used to this. He shook his head helplessly and took out a pair of earplugs from the side to block his ears.
Within the mist-shrouded mountain range, within the enormous, ghastly and ghostly palaces.
"Reporting to hall master, the person has already been brought here. Do you wish to announce him to the palace?" A man dressed in black was kneeling and reporting to the hall.
"Humph, bring them in!" The people in the main hall snorted.
"We pay our respects to Hall Master of Fear!" In a moment, three people walked in. One of them was walking unsteadily, as if he was injured. The other two were normal, but they looked to be worn out from the journey.
The three of them were not others but the one who was walking unsteadily was the one who had assassinated the leader, nether wolf. The other two were the masked man and General Li of Cloud Mist Mountain.
Other than the solemn face of the nether wolf, which could not be seen with joy, the other two people were still quite happy. Although they did not kill Situ Qingtian on this mission, they had caused Murong Fenghuang to be infected by a strange poison, which could be considered a great merit. Although the punishment for failure was too severe, the rewards for success were still very generous.
"How do you want to die!" The people in the great hall obviously didn't want to waste any more time on nonsense, and immediately made a decision. However, the moment the word 'die' came out, the great hall instantly turned darker and colder.
"Huh?" The three of them were stunned. They didn't know whether it was because they had heard wrongly or because the hall master said wrongly. The three of them hid their tracks along the way in order to get back here. They came back quickly, but the moment they came back, the three of them had to choose the way to die. What the hell was going on?
"Hmph, you all still have the face to come back?" The hall master did not answer the three of their questions. The one who spoke was another person, he was dressed in a black robe, his true face could not be seen, but the three of them knew that he was Hall Master of Fear's subordinate, Netherworld Ghost Messenger. His ability was unknown, his strength was unknown, his appearance was unclear, and all they knew was that his words were too 'unkind'.
"Reporting to Hall Master, please state the crimes we have committed and why we are being punished like this." masked man was the person in charge of this assassination. He felt rather wronged. He had come back to receive rewards, so why did it become a death sentence? Could it be that his world had changed, his policies had changed, and he was going to die even if he completed the mission?
"Don't you know what's going on? Well, I'll tell you what you did. " Netherworld Ghost Messenger opened his mouth to answer masked man's question.
Without waiting for masked man to say anything, Netherworld Ghost Messenger continued: "One, you failed to complete the mission. Two, you lied to the hall master with the intention of escaping from his punishment. You guys are getting bolder and bolder, and dare to do anything! "
"What?" I admit, we did not kill Situ Qingtian, but we have already successfully poisoned him, there is no doubt about that. When we were completing the mission back then, didn't it already mean that we could at least complete one of the missions, how can you say that we did not complete the mission? " The masked man argued with reason that if they really decided that they did not complete the mission, and even lied to their superiors, the consequences would be quite serious, so serious that even he himself could not bear the responsibility.
"Humph, alright, then I'll argue with you. It's better if you are right or wrong!" Netherworld Ghost Messenger laughed coldly, not showing any mercy to him at all.
"A straight body is not afraid of a slanted shadow. We have completed our mission according to the requirements, and we have also reported this matter truthfully!" masked man was even more confident now. After all, he had checked repeatedly before heading back to the headquarters.
"Oh? Since you have poisoned Murong Fenghuang, then let me ask you, why is Murong Fenghuang still in the mood to bite a chicken leg? " Netherworld Ghost Messenger asked indifferently.
"Chicken leg?" The three of them looked at each other. What does this have to do with anything?
"The point isn't 'chicken leg', it's that Murong Fenghuang is gnawing on it. This means that she wasn't poisoned at all! Do you understand? " Hearing the three of them shouting the word 'chicken leg' at the same time, Netherworld Ghost Messenger started to crumble. The previously calm and peaceful hall was now filled with the smell of chicken leg and even he wanted to vomit when he smelled it.
"How can there be no poison? I was the one who injected the poison into Murong Fenghuang's body, how can I not be poisoned!" This time, the one who spoke was the nether wolf, his face was filled with surprise, after all, he was the only one who was present at the scene at that time, and the others had all heard what he said. Of course, after the famous doctors were invited by the Murong Family, he had confirmed with the doctors who went to the Murong Family that Murong Fenghuang was indeed infected with a strange poison, and there was nothing he could do about it.
"Then let me ask you, since you are certain that Murong Fenghuang was struck by a strange poison, how was her poison detoxified? Do you think that the combined power of the five of them is just a decoration? Any random person could get rid of it? "Even that old fellow Duanmu was powerless to do anything. Else, he wouldn't have been able to watch his brother die from this poison." Netherworld Ghost Messenger fired his cannons and asked.
The three people in the grand hall were lost in thought. They couldn't figure out what was going on, so how could they!
