As the saying goes, a new trick can be eaten everywhere.

Craftsmen often rely on a good enough craft to make a living, and they only need one.

The chef of Haiyue Xiaozhu is such a craftsman.

As the only chef in the world who can theoretically make this special dish of shark fin and bear paws, his cooking skills can be regarded as one of the best in this industry.

The shark fin and bear paws are certainly delicious, but the other dishes are not bad either.

But when he discovered that he only needed one dish to live a happy life, his cooking skills gradually became lax.

After all, being a cook is just for making a living, not for ideals, just do it as easily as you can.

Of course, even if he was messing around, the other dishes he cooked were still above average, but they just didn't quite match his signature dishes.

After Haiyue Xiaozhu became famous with the help of shark's fin and bear's paw, people who came to eat often only wanted to eat in a style and quality, and did not have high requirements for dishes other than shark's fin and bear's paw.

However, there are also some real gourmets among these guests. Their tastes are sensitive enough and they can easily detect slight changes in the quality of the dishes.

Then Zhang Han noticed the clues.

What is the probability that a cook who has failed will suddenly rebound in his cooking skills?

Zhang Han obviously felt low.

Li Si nodded after listening to Zhang Han's explanation and agreed with his judgment.

"In addition to being in the kitchen, we also found that several servants performed very perfectly during this period. Their daily life and treatment of others were all impeccable, without any omissions." Zhang Han continued.

This level of perfection is very abnormal, and Li Si knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it:

"Inadvertent mistakes are inevitable, there are no omissions...it must be intentional!"

The servants serving the emperor in Xianyang Palace even made some mistakes occasionally, just Haiyue Xiaozhu... Why, are their methods of training their servants better than Xianyang Palace?

Zhang Han nodded slightly, "Master Li is right, being deliberate means hiding."

"For the Shadow Guard, after noticing some clues, the hidden truth soon came to light."

"Knowing the slightest details and being attentive as hair, General Zhang is worthy of being trusted by His Majesty the Emperor as the commander of the secret guards who is responsible for protecting the safety of the royal family." After listening to Zhang Han's analysis and judgment, Li Si bowed to him and praised him.

Fan.

Zhang Han returned the gift with a smile and said, "It's just a matter of duty. Your Excellency is exaggerating."

Fusu, who had been listening silently, suddenly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the boundless East China Sea, and said in a deep voice:

"The mirage is about to set sail, and my father's eastward tour is about to begin, but an assassination like this happened in Songhai. The situation is really bad!"

"General Zhang, you must investigate this matter to the end!"

"General, I obey!" Zhang Han stood up quickly and bowed to accept the order.

Li Si also said, "We will fully support General Zhang Han in this matter."

"Yeah." Fusu snorted in response.

At this time, Zhang Han suddenly looked back at the entrance of Haiyue Xiaozhu, his eyes as sharp as knives.

"Um?"

As the leader of an intelligence organization, Zhang Han is extremely sensitive to probing glances, even more sensitive than General Meng Tian.

Just now, he clearly felt a sense of peeping.

In the area he scanned, the only places that could hide people were a few large trees that were close together.

At this moment, several unpleasant bird calls came from the tree canopy.

Zhang Han's face relaxed, "It turns out to be a crow."

On the distant tree crown, Robber Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I still have the unique skill of learning how to sing birds.

Then before he finished taking a breath, his expression suddenly changed.

Then he stretched out his legs and the whole person was ejected, leaping towards the mountain.

The moment he left the tree crown, Zhang Han, who seemed to have been deceived by the chirping of birds, came over with his Longxiang sword and chopped off the entire tree with one strike.

But after all, he was already a step too slow, and he could only watch the figure of Thief Zhi flying away quickly.

"The Mo family's Thief Zhi..." Zhang Han recited Thief Zhi's name and made no attempt to pursue him.

He also knows the name of the King of Thieves.

Enemies with this kind of light skill expertise are almost impossible to capture without preparation, and chasing them is useless.

Even the secret guards under Zhang Han knew this, and no one tried to chase him. They all rushed to Fusu's side to protect him.

………………

In the evening, the sky is dark and the sun is setting.

The orange-red sunset still occupies the sky, but it is fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Under the canopy, the people of Songhai hurriedly walked on the spacious streets.

It's getting dark, and everyone, whether they are setting up stalls for business or working in agriculture, has to go home to rest.

The only area where people continue to be active is mainly young ladies.

On the cliff in the west of the city, brothers Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang stood together in rare peace, looking at the city below and the mirages on the sea.

Under Zhang Liang's sharp tongue...I mean persuasion, the Mo family agreed to join forces.

However, it is said that the Mo family and Wei Zhuang are joining forces, but in fact it is more like a Zong Heng joining forces.

The people of the Mo family did not want to see Wei Zhuang because they felt that he had sinned deeply and had a blood feud with their family.

Wei Zhuang didn't want to see anyone from the Mo family - he had no interest in joining forces with the Mo family at all.

The reason why he agreed to Zhang Liang's return was because he was doing a business deal by accepting the other party's money.

Therefore, neither party even wanted to meet.

On the other hand, the relationship between Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang progressed very smoothly. They went from fighting each other as soon as they met, to becoming a loving family in an instant.

On the edge of the cliff, Wei Zhuang's eyes moved to the corner of Songhai, where Haiyue Xiaozhu was located.

This high-end club, which is famous in Qilu and resembles the Songhai logo, has been completely blocked by imperial soldiers.

If nothing else, it is destined to become a thing of the past, with no chance of regaining its momentum.

Any vicious incident such as an assassination in any high-end place would be a fatal blow, let alone the one who was assassinated was the eldest son of the empire.

Haiyue Xiaozhu might not even have a chance to survive, and he would be easily dealt with by the empire as an accomplice.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The distinguished Prime Minister of the Empire, I seem to have got into trouble today." Wei Zhuang said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, with unclear meaning.

Upon hearing this, Gai Nie subconsciously looked at Haiyue Xiaozhu, nodded slightly and said, "The bandit was hiding in the dark and witnessed everything."

"A beautifully detailed assassination."

"Looks like someone couldn't wait to muddy the waters."

Wei Zhuang snorted coldly and said frankly, "There are only two of us here, so we can speak clearly."

"Just say Luo Wang, or Zhao Gao."

Gai Nie said nothing about this and continued what he said before:

"I'm afraid the chaos in the empire will really begin from this."

"It seems that your brain has not been dragged down by those idiots to the point where it can no longer be used." Wei Zhuang expressed his agreement with sarcastic words.

"Quicksand...what do you want to gain from this chaos?" Ge Nie suddenly asked.

Wei Zhuang's eyes were fixed, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "This has nothing to do with you now."

………………

Songhai port, above the mirage.

After many days of careful exploration, Tianming and the others finally returned to the deck and saw the long-lost sky again.

Although the time spent is a bit excessive, it at least ensures that they will not be easily exposed and there will be no loss.

"Finally I can breathe fresh air again. I feel like I'm almost suffocated."

At the corner of the mirage deck, Tian Ming leaned on the wide railing and looked at the place where the water and the sky meet in the distance, shouting happily.

Shaoyu stood behind and reminded angrily, "Keep your voice down, don't disturb the people on the boat."

Tianming waved his hand nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of!"

"I think this ship is quite safe. Those people hardly come out and move around. Don't worry."

There are quite a few people living on the mirage now, more than a thousand of them, but most of them can only stay in their rooms, and only a few are qualified to move around at will.

The patrolling Yin and Yang puppets generally only appear in important areas on the upper deck, and almost no one on the lower deck pays attention.

It is normal for Tianming to have this kind of illusion.
