Earth food is a bit big

Alpha led the crowd, starting from Seawind City, all the way straight to the imperial capital.

However, Alpha, Heitian and the others did not expect that they would not be able to enter the palace, nor would they be able to see Emperor Sky and the Crown Prince.

It stands to reason that Alpha and the prince know each other, so there shouldn’t be any problem with the notification. Hei Tian is the chief guard who has been with Gu Yuncheng since he was in the palace.

But it was the identities of these two people, no one paid any attention to their names, and they were directly driven away by the guards.

Alpha was extremely annoyed, if it wasn't for Gu Yunqing's close relationship with Emperor Cang Qiong and the Crown Prince, he would have almost jumped in directly.

It was Heitian who pulled Alfa back to the hotel.

"Alpha, the situation here is not quite right." Heitian frowned. "No matter what, it is impossible for His Majesty and the prince not to see us. I think there must be something going on here."

"I don't think it's normal either. Hmph, I'll go to the prince's place later to see if Yun Qing is there." Alpha's expression was ugly.He was worried about Gu Yunqing, but he ran after him for a long time but failed to catch up. If he had known earlier, he might as well pass through the endless forest. If he could go one step earlier, he might run into Gu Yunqing.

"Heitian! Heitian!" Rose Gun, who did not follow Alpha and Heitian into the palace, kicked open the door of Heitian's room, "Alpha is here too?"

"What happened?" The two turned their heads and looked at the rose gun who came in.

"I think the atmosphere in the city is not right." Rose Gun looked around and closed the door. "Do you know, I just went out and said I had a good meal, guess what I saw?"

"See what?" Heitian and Alpha looked at each other and asked in unison.

"Ha. In this imperial capital, during the few months we left, there have been dozens of restaurants all over the entire imperial capital for no reason."

"This... can only show that the economy is developed?"

"These restaurants have almost knocked down the original businesses, and even the old-fashioned big restaurants like Jinguan have been sold out and are about to close and leave the imperial capital!"

"What? How is this possible!"

Alpha and Heitian stood up in disbelief.

They get along well with Xiaomi, they can be regarded as a little brother, especially the other party is the young master of the Jin Pavilion on the surface, but secretly the young disciple of Wu Sheng, and helps Gu Yunqing control a dark army.

In fact, his family business can be collapsed at any time, not to mention that the dishes of Jin Guan have a very special taste, which has lasted for hundreds of years, so how could it be possible to collapse at any time!

"What kind of restaurant can close down Xiaomi's old store?" Heitian asked with a frown.

"I'm also puzzled. When I went to the Jinguan, there was no one there. Everything was packed, and I didn't have any food. I had to go to those houses to have a look and eat by the way. Guess what happened?"

"how?"

"I went to a newly opened restaurant next door, and when I looked at the menu, it was all Xiao Luo's dishes."

"What? It's Gu Kai who opened the store to the capital? How can I explain that the Xiaomi store has collapsed?" Alpha smiled wryly.

"Huh. Xiao Luo's shop? You think it's good." Rose Gun looked angry, "I think these dishes are from Xiao Luo's recipes, and I want to help increase some sales, but I didn't expect to find out that they are not Xiao Luo's shop."

"No? It's not surprising that those stores are usually under the banner of Gu Kai."

"That's not the case. I've been to several restaurants opened by Gu Kai before. Because of Xiao Luo, they pay great attention to the quality of service. The waiters inside are full of smiles, and they can introduce any dishes by the way. The main ingredients and taste of the dishes." Rose Gun said angrily, "But this store, the store is bullying customers, yelling at those who line up to eat, and making moves at every turn. Some people even They will be dragged out and beaten to death."

"What? How dare they be so arrogant? This is definitely not the shop opened by Gu Kai!"

"I thought so too. I immediately grabbed those waiters and beat them up, and asked the person in charge to come out. As a result, when the shop owner came out, I beat him up and asked him. It wasn't Xiao Luo's fault at all. shop, but some bullshit baron. Who knows what it is, I only know that it stole Xiao Luo's recipe!"

"Damn it, how much did they steal?"

"Almost famous, they all have them!" Rose Gun gritted his teeth. "Not only are the recipes stolen, but there are thirty or forty of these stores in the capital. I have already visited a few of them. They are similar. Although the dishes are different, they all have one thing in common!"

"They're all Xiao Luo's dishes, aren't they?" Heitian said with a cold face.

"That's right." Rose Gun nodded, "And there is another strange phenomenon. The people here, there are long queues outside these stores."

"Strange thing. Go out and have a look?" Alpha looked at Heitian.

"Go." Heitian and Rose Gun nodded.

The three of them walked around the capital city, avoiding the previous shop, and deliberately went to a slightly remote place in the imperial capital, and it was exactly like what Rose Gun said.

In front of almost every store, there are long queues.And they found another suspicious place.

When they went to eat, someone asked them if it was their first time here.For those who come to eat for the first time, the price is [-]% off, and the price is very cheap. For the second and third time, the price can also be discounted by [-]%, which is considered fair.

But if it is more than three times, the price will not be discounted at all. Full-price dishes are considered very expensive in the restaurants and restaurants in the imperial capital. It is okay to eat once in a while, but if you want to eat every day , unless they are princes and nobles and wealthy businessmen, they can't afford it at all.

But when they looked at the people queuing up, they were not necessarily rich, most of them were ordinary people, and there were also some people with sad faces and old clothes. It seemed that their families were ordinary or even difficult.

It's fine for rich people to come to eat, but if you don't have money, you also come to eat meals that are the same price as stealing money, which is not normal.

Several people in Heitian sensed something was wrong.

Another point is that although these people queuing up to eat seem excited, except for the bustling entrances of these restaurants, other places in this city are lifeless. Pedestrians rarely walk on the streets. Even if they occasionally go to the streets, they are like walking dead , lifeless.

In comparison, the entrance of the hotel makes people feel more comfortable, at least a little popular.

The more they walked around, the more people found something was wrong, and Alpha felt that someone was following them from afar.But the follower was far away, and he didn't even feel Heitian and Rose Gun.

"I can't stay here anymore." Alpha decided decisively. "Let's go to City of Ashes right away. The atmosphere in the capital is not right!"

"Then Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?" Heitian asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, even if someone plans something, they wouldn't dare to attack the emperor of one of the three great empires. Besides, if someone actually attacked the Sky Emperor and the prince, it would be no small matter, let alone act rashly." Alpha deeply Take a breath. "We need to find Gu Yunqing and Gu Kai first, and ask what's going on,"

"Then shall we set off now? Are we still going to the Prince's Mansion?" Hei Tian asked.

"You start first, don't worry. Go straight into the endless forest after leaving the city, and speed up when there is no one else. I will go back and stabilize them first, and wait until night to visit the prince's mansion and the palace. You leave some marks, and I will chase you when the time comes. "

"Okay. Then you must be careful!"

Everyone pretended to act separately and divided into several teams.Those chefs and other ordinary people followed Alpha back to the hotel to cover up their eyes and ears, while Heitian and others took a few good hands and took a few quests into the endless forest.

After nightfall, Alpha sneaked into the Prince's Mansion.

It was as quiet here as ever, but there was no light in Gu Yunqing's small courtyard, obviously no one was there.And the prince who often paints and tastes tea is nowhere to be found.

Alpha didn't find anything, and he was a little suspicious in his heart and didn't dare to reveal his whereabouts, so he could only leave from the Prince's Mansion and head straight for the palace.

The palace was also eerily quiet.But this is not too strange, because the royal family is like this.

Alpha judged the direction and went straight to the prince's bedroom.

He and the prince knew each other, even though he was an adult now, as long as he said his name, the other party would trust him.

The current situation in the imperial capital is not normal, and he does not believe that a prince who supervises the country will not know about it.

After successfully finding the prince, Alpha went straight to the bedroom after controlling several guards.

"His Royal Highness?"

"You?" Gu Yunfei was staring at a painting in the study in a daze, when he suddenly noticed someone beside him, and when he looked up, it was not his guard, but a stranger.It's just that this stranger looked a little familiar. "Who are you?"

"His Royal Highness." Alpha shushed with a finger on his mouth, "Your Highness, I am Alpha."

"Alpha? You are back!" Although the prince wondered how Alpha became an adult, but after thinking about it carefully, this familiar outline is not Alpha.

Thinking of Alpha's return, the prince was surprised. "Where's my brother? Where's Xiao Luo? Are they back too?"

"This..." Alpha was silent.

Xiao Luo and Xiaomi fell into the sea and did not know whether they were alive or dead. Gu Yuncheng said that he was looking for Xiao Luo, but he still vividly remembered what Gu Yuncheng said when they broke up.

If Xiao Luo really passed away, Gu Yuncheng probably wouldn't live alone.

But these words are obviously not what should be said at this moment. Seeing the crown prince's cautious expression in surprise, the prince is clearly aware of all the things that are wrong in the imperial capital.

This is more intriguing, and more frightening.

In the world, there are only three empires and one free state, the City of Sea Breeze.As the prince of Jian Guo, one of the three great empires, Gu Yunfei's power can only be described in two words: monstrous.

It is simply unimaginable how anyone can suppress such a character to the point of being cautious.

"His Royal Highness, I want to ask you a few things!" Alpha pondered for a while, and decided to ask directly.
