" Mutton rolls, tripe, duck intestines, beef meatballs, beancurd…"
Ji Xiao placed the ingredients on a plate one by one and placed them on the table beside the boiling copper pot.
In the copper pot, the boiling red soup was bubbling, emitting a spicy and alluring smell.
"In the past, when we ate hotpot, we would always eat with a large group of friends. It was so lively.”
Ji Xiao sighed.
Although the ingredients in this world were a hundred times more delicious than in his previous life, without a lively atmosphere, he felt that it was not enough.
"It would be great if Xiaoyi could come. No, one person is not enough.”
As he thought of this, Ji Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw two beauties appear at the door.
The one on the left had a beautiful face that made everything pale. Her figure was graceful and her charm was natural.
The skin-tight leather jacket perfectly displayed her stunning long legs.
As she moved, Jiao. Her body swayed, looking extremely charming.
The one on the right was an elegant and beautiful girl.
Her skin was as white as snow, and the light could be seen. She was beautiful and pleasant.
"Speak of the devil. Come, come, come. I was just about to eat hotpot.”
"Cao Cao?" Zhou Yi, who had just entered, was stunned. Wasn't that the Emperor of the Wei Jin Dynasty?”
"Aiya, don't worry about it."
Ji Xiao stood up and pulled Zhou Yi to his seat. He looked at Shangguan Wan 'er, who was also dressed in a guard uniform.
"And this is?"
Zhou Yi smiled." This is my good sister. You can call her Wan 'er." Wan Er, this is Master Ji Xiao."
Shangguan Wan 'er's face turned cold when she saw that the royal chef was actually touching the Emperor. She was about to pull out her knife.
However, she immediately remembered that the two of them had hidden their identities.
Shangguan Wan 'er was secretly surprised to see that the Emperor was not against intimate contact with Ji Xiao.
She had the illusion that the moment His Majesty entered the small kitchen, he seemed to have relaxed.
Shangguan Wan 'er took a closer look at Ji Xiao and realized that he was handsome and had an otherworldly aura. Only then did she understand a little.
"Wan 'er, right? Xiaoyi's sisters are my friends. Come and eat with me."”
"Xiaoyi?"
The Martial Saint powerhouse who shook the Great Zhou and the Empress who led the dynasty was actually called Xiaoyi?
Even though Shangguan Wan 'er had a cold personality, she couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard Ji Xiao address the empress in such a manner.
In this world, other than Ji Xiao, no one else would dare to call him 'Your Majesty'.
Zhou Yi glared at Shangguan Wan 'er before she stopped smiling.
"Eh? It smells so good."
Shangguan Wan 'er was originally not interested in eating and drinking, but when she smelled the fragrance of the hotpot, her appetite was aroused.
Looking at the plates of exquisite ingredients on the table, she couldn't help but feel hungry.
The three of them immediately started eating.
Ji Xiao had always been a friendly person, and with the experience of flirting with girls in his previous life, the atmosphere quickly became lively.
Chatting and laughing with Shangguan Wan 'er, the relationship between the two of them had unknowingly become more familiar.
Zhou Yi boiled a slice of beef and ate it without caring about the heat.
She had eaten countless delicacies since she was young, but Ji Xiao always surprised her.
Last time, it was fried chicken, and this time, it was hot pot. They were all novel and delicious things.
"Ji Xiao, you're really something. How did you know that Zhou Yuanying was planning to rebel?" Zhou Yi asked.”
Shangguan Wan 'er immediately stopped eating and stared at Ji Xiao with her big, clear eyes.
"You found out?" Ji Xiao smiled.
" Yes," Zhou Yi said." Her Majesty is very angry. She's preparing to make a move tomorrow."”
"Didn't I say that His Majesty didn't promote you?" Ji Xiao asked.”
Zhou Yi said," His Majesty hasn't mentioned it yet. Tell me quickly. How did you know?"”
"Isn't that simple?" Ji Xiao said.
He dipped his chopsticks in red oil and drew a simple map of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the table.
"Look, this is Tianyuan City."
He drew a line to the north of the map and drew it to the south.
"This is White Marsh City."
" Let me ask you." Ji Xiao raised his head." How long would it take for an ordinary citizen to travel from White Pool City to Tianyuan City?"”
Before Zhou Yi could speak, Shangguan Wan 'er interrupted,""About ten days."
" The troops under the State Guardians were all equipped with divine red flame steeds," Ji Xiao asked." And all of them were martial artists. How many days did they use in such an emergency?"”
As soon as he said this, the two women were shocked, as if they understood something.
That's right, why did the troops of the State Guarding Duke only arrive after fifteen days?
Ji Xiao said," This is just one of the suspicious points. I heard that the Green Phoenix Grand Sage had just killed the three Martial Saints. When the Ba Shu army was defeated, the troops of the State Guarding Duke coincidentally charged out. What does this mean?"”
"It means that they have already arrived and are only observing the battle situation. Either they wanted to preserve their strength and were unwilling to face the Ba Shu army head-on.”
Ji Xiao clapped his hands." That's right. According to the situation at that time, the empress was surrounded by three Martial Saints. The people of Great Zhou were in danger. However, Zhou Yuanying did not lead his troops to rescue them. Instead, he took advantage of their victory.”
Zhou Yi nodded thoughtfully.
Shangguan Wan 'er's eyes flashed.
Ji Xiao said," We can't judge anything based on these two points. Maybe the Defender Duke wants to preserve his strength and wait for the Great Qin Empire to rescue him?"”
After a pause, he continued," However, the Defender Duke made a great contribution this time. His Majesty rewarded him with a million taels of gold, sixty beauties, and three thousand feet of cloth and satin. However, he distributed all of them to the troops. It even became a legend among the people.”
"What does a man who has an army but is not even interested in money and beauties want the most?”
Zhou Yi and Shangguan Wan 'er spoke at the same time,""Power!"
"Isn't that settled?" Ji Xiao said.
As he spoke, he secretly wiped his sweat.
F * ck, I finally covered it up. Fortunately, I'm smart.
After Shangguan Wan 'er heard this, she let out a soft sigh. However, she was convinced in her heart.
To be able to link three seemingly unrelated things together and deduce the correct conclusion from the clues.
In the entire Guard Division, no one could compare to Ji Xiao, and she was far from it.
No wonder His Majesty favored this imperial chef so much. He was indeed a man of great talent.
She was originally focused on cultivation and did not care about the love between men and women.
But now, looking at Ji Xiao's handsome face, Shangguan Wan 'er seemed to understand why some women in this world would be so obsessed with men.
