Chapter 47: An Loch's Means
"Did you feel a little surprised?" Gui Chou looked back, but it was Mo Ke, the commander of the city defense army who had not noticed at the beginning.
Gui Chou always felt that Moko should have some conflict with him, but judging from his tone, his worries seemed to be redundant and nodded without hesitation. Gui Chou really didn't understand why An Luoke asked his servants to openly kill a general of the Imperial** regiment in his mansion, but seeing the expressions of the people around him as usual, anyone should think it is strange.
"As time goes by, you will know that everything is not as you seem, and time will verify everything." Mo Ke's indifference made Gui Chou stunned. Through Mo Ke's words, Gui Chou knew that he knew about such things. Maybe the only ones present didn't know, right?
"Captain Moko is not as taciturn as he looks. According to common sense, there should be some gap between you and me." Gui Chou did not follow Moko's words, but instead guided the topic to Moko himself. If Gui Chou had no idea about things he had not yet known, no matter how exciting it was, he would not be interested in.
Now he was interested in the only leader named Mo Ke in front of him. In addition, Gui Chou also noticed one thing that was that there was no servant behind Mo Ke serving him. This special phenomenon made Gui Chou's already damaging heart raise the danger, but he had always been covering his appearance, and outsiders could hardly do it if they wanted to peek into his heart through their expressions.
"Ghost Chou, you are more open-minded than I thought. Not everyone can speak out. You are very special!" Moko held his own and raised his glass slightly. Gui Chou also raised his glass, but Moko drank all of them, and Gui Chou only drank half of them. Although this wine is filled with high-end silver cups, it is a common strong wine in the army. If you drink it in one breath, it is like pouring it into flames. Gui Chou has not been in the army for a long time, and this kind of wine is not suitable, so it can't drink it after just half of it.
"Your Excellency Gui Chou should rarely drink wine?" Mo Ke didn't expect that Gui Chou was very open-minded, but he couldn't drink well. However, he thought that Gui Chou was not old and the tenth guard army was not very long. It was normal to be unable to drink it. Therefore, he felt relieved. Gui Chou, who nodded with the trend, handed the wine to the servant and said, "I can't drink well, but I have a good appetite. If I don't say anything else, there should be no one who can eat me in this mansion."
Hearing Gui Chou's words, Mo Ke couldn't help but feel a little surprised flashed on his originally cold face. He felt Gui Chou open-minded, but he didn't expect Gui Chou to be so open-minded and... arrogant?
This kind of fanatical words can naturally be heard by many generals. Although they are playing games, anyone can see that they are not very interested in games. The last game servant has told Gui Chou that fighting wine is not what Gui Chou is good at, but if it is fighting food, Gui Chou is really confident to win everyone present.
"I have never compared it to eat. Do you want to give me some food?" This is a general who doesn't want to participate in the wine competition.
"Where can you eat and drink so much as you can get when drinking!" This is the commander of the Legion who is very confident in his own drinking.
"Why don't you forget it together? Let's eat and drink, and see who eats more and drinks more, how about it?" This is a general who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.
For a moment, the uproar caused by Gui Chou's words was finally felt by An Luoke. After listening to the servant's report, An Luoke couldn't help but chuckled. He was not unfamiliar with this game, but this game was not promoted in the army. After all, no one could let his body collapse because of a game. But now Gui Chou made such a request. After a little consideration, An Luoke recruited the servant and gave a few instructions. The servant ran away with a look of surprise.
This kind of change naturally cannot escape Zero's eyes. However, Zero cannot hear what Anluoke said to his servant. After all, he was attached to the mask on Ghost Chou's face, and the distance he could hear was about the same as that of Ghost Chou. Ghost Chou put all his attention on Moko, so it naturally could not hear what Anluoke said.
"If you want to compete with me, I want to compete with you. My appetite is pretty good." Mo Ke showed a meaningful smile. Gui Chou was thin and Mo Ke could almost fit in two of him. Judging from his body shape, Gui Chou would definitely be completely defeated. No matter how the two of them stood together, they felt that Mo Ke had a greater chance of winning.
Just as Gui Chou was about to speak, he saw servants walking into the banquet with plates in line and holding them. Seeing that these servants had arrived, Anluoke stood on the small platform at a height again. He had an influence among the generals that others could imagine. The banquet once again changed from lively to quiet, but the faces of these generals were full of fanaticism. Although they were trying their best to restrain themselves, a discerning person would know at a glance that as long as Anluoke finished speaking, the scene would definitely become more popular.
"Just just now, my dear, my dear, my dear friend, and the Lord Gui Chou we just met said something. He said he couldn't drink, we can understand it. After all, he has not been in the army for a long time, so we can bypass this, but I think his next sentence can become the highlight of today." After that, An Lock pointed to the servants holding plates and continued: "We have discussed it just now. Since we are visiting my house, how about the rules? "
No one disagrees, Anlok's prestige is enough!
"Okay, since everyone agrees, then I will talk about the rules. Since it is to compare the amount of food, it only compares the amount of food. Drinks can also be used as auxiliary, but it is not counted. The winner is the most people who eat. As for the prize, how can I announce it separately?" Such a rule is actually very loose. After all, it is the first time, so everyone didn't care. They are all people in the army and will not let them drink. Although they have never compared this meal, they will never give up easily, especially the challenge is said by the commander of a new corps.
The servants placed the tables in two rows, the tables in front were used to hold food, and the tables in back were used to hold plates. Each participant had two tables. The servants were responsible for delivering dishes and handling plates. After the competition, they were also responsible for liquidation. There were ten people in the contest, including Gui Chou. Some people like to watch the fun, while the remaining people were unable to participate because of their age and health.
Gui Chou looked at the generals around him and was a little overturned. He just said one thing. As for such a mobilizing competition? Gui Chou, who couldn't figure it out, focused all his attention on the caught plate. He said that he was really hungry. Since escaping from Tarn Province, Gui Chou always felt that he was not full. Now he has gotten such an opportunity. If he doesn't make good use of it, I'm really sorry for his stomach!
Everything was arranged, Gui Chou and many challengers began to sit down, plates of food that were unknown were brought up, and five covered plates were placed in front of each other, looking at their opponents, and many generals smiled knowingly. This kind of competition was unprecedented. If it was spread, it would probably be able to entertain many people.
Seeing everyone sitting down, the challenger was eager to try, but Anluoke never announced the start, but joked: "Everyone, the chefs in our house have done their best. Now I will distribute the recipe to you. Everyone's recipes are the same, and the order of eating does not matter, but if there is a servant next to you, the time will be limited to before dawn, and win by quantity. Also, I advise you not to hold on and not to use methods, otherwise you will not be glorious if you lose without consent and win."
While speaking, the people participating in the competition got a simple menu, and anyone could tell that it was made temporarily. The menu was completely handwritten. However, looking at the foods on it, the contestants' eyes lit up. Anluoke's banquet has a long history, and the food spared at the banquet also made many generals linger. There were 50 dishes in total, including refreshments, bread, soup, and barbecue. It can be said that some generals may not be able to eat all these foods for a year, but at Anluoke's banquet, these things were eaten casually.
"The last point is also the point that everyone needs to pay attention to most, don't waste it!" An Luoke said very seriously, and many contestants also said yes. After that, An Luoke announced the start. As soon as the food on the silver plate appeared, everyone present was stunned.
"Anrok, are you too despicable?"
"The God of Light is here, it's amazing to be able to finish this table?"
"Hahaha, fortunately I didn't participate, so I looked straight at Baron's eyes!"
Not to mention the generals of other legions, even Zero cursed Anluoke in Gui Chou's mind, which was so despicable! All the plates were full of food, and they were added to extra-large plates. If it weren't for the silver lid on them, they would probably be higher. And it can be seen that these foods were all made by rushing and were made very rough. Although the fragrance did not decrease, the appearance really reduced the appetite.
It is not difficult to guess that Anluoke has already arranged it. He used these foods first and then screened them. In this way, the chef will use them longer and longer, and he can make delicious foods that are both delicious and delicious. And if you want to finish this table, it is really not enough to spend some time. When you see the food on the table, two generals immediately announced their withdrawal. No one laughed at them. No one laughed at them. No one could see these foods.
"Everyone, what are you waiting for? The competition has begun now. It's still a while before dawn, but someone has already started!" While many generals were still worried about the food in front of them, Anluoke's voice attracted their attention. He turned his head to look. The first ones to take action were the two people introduced by Anluoke today, Moko of the City Defense Legion and Gui Chou of the Tenth Guard Legion. Moreover, the movements of these two people were fast and slow, and the contrast was clear, making people stunned.
Seeing that someone had already taken action, the remaining six people were not willing to fall behind. After showing a trace of determination, they all began to pick up their knives and forks to find their own food.
In this way, the second battle between Gui Chou entering the Holy Capital began. The city gate conflict proved Gui Chou's ability with Moko's advance, which made him famous in the Holy Capital. Now what he wants to conquer is these generals in Anluoke's mansion. Although the method used is quite special, this is the best way for Anluoke to arrange it.
