reborn monarch

The dungeon smells like meat.

The tongue has been tightly clamped and pressed for several hours by the bamboo board, the surface is cut off, and it is sliced ​​into pink and tender thin slices with a delicate knife. An hour later, pick it up with a colander, pour an iron spoonful of hot sesame oil on it, drain off the excess oil, put it on a plate carefully, and present it to the Prince Li's table.

Inside the steamer is a large porcelain cup, which contains ham and winter melon meat and bone soup. After boiling, it is steamed in the steamer, and it is already gurgling.Three servants jointly carried it down, uncovered the cup lid, and filled six ordinary-sized porcelain cups, one cup on each table.

The barbecue was already sizzling, so the open fire under the grill was removed, and a charcoal basin was replaced, and the position of the iron rack was lowered so that the meat could be roasted by the charcoal fire. Then, several layers of honey were repeatedly brushed with a small brush, until it was crispy and golden.After burning for a while, the charcoal basin was removed again, and one of the cooks sliced ​​roasted meat into slices like a roast duck, each slice with belt meat, just right for the mouth.

There are also some side dishes and seasonal vegetables, which are also cooked according to the share of six tables, and put on the table one by one.

After everything was prepared, the servants knelt in front of Prince Li again, waiting for orders.

Prince Li glanced contemptuously at the kitchen scraps on the chopping board, then at Xie Shishi who was still hanging from an iron lock, and his body was stuffed into another larger wine urn, he picked up the chopsticks in satisfaction, and held a piece of tongue| The meat entered the mouth, chewed carefully, showing a satisfied expression, after swallowing, just announced: "Let's have a feast."

The servants thanked them, they couldn't wait to sit down, and they ate like a ghost. Prince Li accidentally raised his head, shook his chopsticks, lowered his head again, and slowly ate the food on his table.

In the beginning, Prince Li was just tired of playing other tricks to harass people.

He deeply hated these healthy children without disabilities. They were not born blind in their left eye, nor were they born lame. Why?He is the son of an emperor, but he was born with a disability. How can these lowly commoners live a healthy and happy life?

When a commoner child accidentally disturbed his frame, causing him to stumble in the sedan chair and make a fool of himself, and that fake monk Gu Yuntang was welcomed to the throne by the civil servants, and his Prince's Mansion was left unattended, he could no longer Patience, let the hatred in my heart burst out, took the child back to the mansion, and whipped him to death with a horsewhip.

He is a prince, and no one dares to meddle in other people's affairs. The Governor of Jingzhao Mansion is a sensible man, but he is just a few commoners, so there is no need to offend Prince Li.

So, again and again, he intensified his efforts until one day he suddenly had a whim, saying that the emperor could eat all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, so he wanted to try ingredients that even the emperor had never eaten.

For the first time, these servants were unwilling, but under the pressure of Prince Li's power, Prince Li saw their frightened expressions quite interesting, and deliberately rewarded them to share.

However, as time goes by, the evils of human nature interact and affect each other, and everyone is an accomplice. The entire Prince Li Mansion is like an isolated island outside the law, and everyone has fallen into a state of madness and carnival.Especially the three cooks, they have developed a whole set of methods of human | animal handling and cooking, which is called "Supreme Recipe".

It was like raising a group of wolf-like vicious dogs and found that he was also threatened. Even Prince Li was terrified. Watching these evil servants become more and more addicted to food, they used to steal civilian children at night, but now they dare to kidnap people back to their homes during the day.

Prince Li is not a lunatic who is out of control like these evil servants. He has heard of Xie Jiuyuan, the emperor's favorite minister, after hearing what Xie Shiyi said. In a wine jar.

He ate more and more slowly, looking at Xie Shishi, thinking about how to get out of the doomed incident.

"Bang-"

The sound of swords and soldiers colliding from far to near, the dungeon door was kicked open by two guards, followed by Gu Lan and another guard.

When they entered the dungeon, the lights were brightly lit, and they could see everything at a glance. When they saw the heads on the chopping board and the crowd feasting, one of the guards covered his mouth and almost spit it out on the spot. The other two guards had children at home. At this scene, everyone was as red-eyed as Gu Lan. Gu Lan gave an order, and the four rushed into the banquet formation with swords, and began to hack and kill.These servants also used the method of bullying children, and had never learned boxing. Su Wei and Gu Lan quickly gained the upper hand.

Prince Li never expected that it would be Gu Lan who came here. Although he deliberately threatened Gu Lan countless times, he only let him watch those ordinary people being tortured, and he didn't know how much Gu Lan knew.

At this time, he didn't care too much. He shrank on the imitation dragon chair, showing a frightened and surprised expression, and shouted: "My nephew, save me! This king has been held hostage by these evil servants for a long time!"

As soon as he said this, it seemed that he was pushing the pot. The servants who were still afraid at first knew that it was a dead end. Maybe they could save their lives by fighting out and escaping the capital. Similar kitchen utensils are desperately resisting, and there is a tendency to counterattack.

The three old guards had to take care of Gu Lan while fighting against the enemy, and gradually all of them were injured.

Seeing that a chef's boning knife was about to cut into the vest of the guard, Gu Lan rushed over quickly, kicked the guard away, and then chopped off with a sword, cutting off the cook's arm. The cook rolled on the ground in pain, crying for his father call mother.

Seeing that they took care of each other and retreated to the wine urn, Xie Xie finally said, "Gu Lan, let me down. I have learned swordsmanship with my brother, and I can help."

Gu Lan and the old guards were struggling left and right, there was no time to let him down, Gu Lan shouted: "Shut up! Don't make trouble!"

Xie Shishi was so angry that his eyes were staring blankly. At this moment, the rope tied to his leg was finally loosened because of his persistent struggle. He quickly broke free from the rope, and used the iron hook to forcefully roll up his upper abdomen, matching the tension on his leg. With strength, he stepped on the edge of the wine urn, and with the height of the wine urn, the iron chain was no longer straight. He easily got the knot that bound his hands out of the iron hook, and then jumped off the wine urn, because his hands Still tied up, soaked in wine again, almost stumbled.

Seeing that he had escaped, a cook rushed over immediately. Xie Shixi jumped twice on the spot, then ran two steps to help him, and threw a flying kick, which hit the cook's forehead and hit his temple, kicking the cook until he vomited. Bai Mo fainted to the ground.Xie Shishi made up his feet, guarded against the surrounding situation, squatted down and quickly broke the rope with the cook's cleaver, and joined the battle with the cleaver in hand. With his help, the counterattack of the servants was once again defeated It was suppressed.

Gu Lan saw that he was good at martial arts, but he didn't want to kill anyone, so he just followed him. He knocked one out, and Gu Lan went up to seal his throat with a sword. Xie Shishi didn't have time to pay attention. They and Prince Li, there is no one left standing.

"You, Your Highness," Xie Shixi frowned, "No matter how serious their crimes are, they should be handed over to the Clan Mansion together with Prince Li for investigation."

The three old guards looked at each other's wounds, deeply sympathized with Xie Shiyi's words, and nodded secretly.

Gu Lan ignored them, did not put down the sword in her hand, walked near Prince Li, and stopped.

Prince Li showed a grateful expression, and said to Gu Lan: "Nephew, thanks to you, otherwise, I don't know how long Uncle Huang will be held hostage by these beasts."

Gu Lan didn't answer, just stared at him.

Prince Li seemed very frightened, and asked, "What's wrong with your nephew?"

Gu Lan clenched the sword in her hand, walked towards him slowly, and said as she walked, "I only have one uncle."

His words touched the Achilles heel of Prince Li. Prince Li's expression twisted for a moment, and he suddenly shouted in panic: "What are you doing! You bastard, you're going to kill your relatives!"

The three guards wanted to run out of the dungeon immediately, pretending they didn't hear anything.

Xie Shiyi was taken aback, and followed Gu Lan with his heels.

Gu Lan waited for him to finish shouting before speaking again, but her tone was very calm: "I used to be very afraid of you, and because of your daily bad words, I suspected that I was really a lone star. Now I know that you are just a beast , there is nothing to be afraid of. Uncle Huang taught me a truth, the more I am afraid of something, the more I should face it."

"Now, it's time."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Lan fiercely slashed the sword at Prince Li, but was held back by a meat cleaver.

Gu Lan looked at Xie Shishi expressionlessly, and ordered: "Thank you for reading, get out."

Xie Shishi did not give in, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, if you go down with this sword, it is against the law of the country to lynch for public reasons, and for private purposes, I cannot bear the infamy of killing relatives! Your Highness, please think again!"

"roll!"

"No!"

Xie Jiuyuan received the notice from Commander Hai, and rushed with him to Prince Li's Mansion. Along the way, there were corpses lying everywhere in the mansion. Lan draws his sword to face each other.

And a black shadow was rushing towards Gu Lan.

"Be careful!" Xie Jiuyuan shouted, but he was too far away, and the two confronting each other didn't pay attention.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm fighting with you!" The cook who had fought against Xie Shiyi didn't know when he woke up, and he lurked behind Gu Lan with a boning knife in his hand. At the back of Gu Lan's head, Xie Xie grabbed Gu Lan and slashed across the cook's chest and abdomen with his backhand. Two guards also rushed to him and subdued him.

By the time Xie Jiuyuan and Commander Hai hurried to them, the dust had already settled.

Gu Lan stared blankly at Xie Shishi's blood-stained shoulder, Xie Shishi glared at Prince Li, and asked, "You can clearly see that cook rushing over, why didn't you sound a reminder!"

Prince Li's face was full of innocent fear: "Ben, I didn't, I didn't see it,"

Xie Shixi was in a hurry, but he also understood that it was useless to argue with him. He turned around and saw Xie Jiuyuan, who was full of clouds, and burst into tears. He covered his shoulders and wailed, "Brother, I thought I couldn't see you anymore."

The reason why there is thunder but not rain is obviously because he is afraid of being scolded for pretending, but his eyes and expressions are faked unsuccessfully. Such a scene must have been frightened and stimulated.Xie Jiuyuan couldn't help him, so instead of looking at him, he bowed to Gu Lan and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the palace, you should go back first."

Gu Lan nodded, glanced at Xie Shishi, turned around and strode away.

Xie Shishi watched the figure who was not as tall as him go away, feeling inexplicably sad.

Poor to be born in the emperor's family.

Then his ears hurt, and he was pinched up by his brother. Seeing Xie Jiuyuan's face clearly, he didn't dare to beg for mercy and cry, and obediently followed Xie Jiuyuan away.

Commander Hai summoned the guards and declared: "Your Majesty has an order to seal the Prince's Mansion, and no one can come in or out."

Seeing that no one took him, Prince Li was overjoyed, took two quick steps, and asked, "Commander Hai, what about this king?"

Commander Hai ignored him, and led the guards to carry out all the corpses, exited the palace, sealed the front and rear gates, and sent guards to station outside the mansion, one person at a time.

Only when Prince Li heard the sound of iron locks did he realize that he was trapped in the mansion. He didn't panic too much. As long as he can save his life, he can still plot future plans.

However, at this time, in the supposedly empty palace, Prince Li heard a nasty chuckle.

He shuddered and turned to look.

It's the cook!
