Nian Bing smiled slightly, and said: "It is because he is the least powerful that he will be the least noticeable, so we chose him this time as the successor of the Ice Moon Empire. Third Elder, I want to use the relationship network of the Blood Lion Cult first. Seeing him, the Seventh Prince Yanfeng really doesn't have the slightest liking for politics, I have to communicate with him. At the same time, we must always pay attention to when the Fifth Prince returns from Ice and Snow City to Ice Moon City, so that we can take action. "
Nian Bing paused, thought carefully, and after discussing with the seven elders, he issued several orders before quietly leaving the warrior union and returning to the hotel.
The battle with the seven elders made Nian Bing very tired, but he only rested for an hour, and in the evening, dragging his recovered body, he returned to Xue Po's Marshal's Mansion. Continue to work on his daily job of making dinner.
As soon as he entered the Marshal's Mansion, Nian Bing ran into Xue Po's daughter Xue Yu. As soon as Xueyu saw Nian Bing, she didn't avoid suspicion, she grabbed him and said: "Nian Bing! What did you do? I was so anxious to find you. Why did you come back so late!"
Nian Bing smiled slightly, and said, "Why, is there anything Miss can do with me? Don't worry, I won't delay dinner."
Xueyu pulled Nian Bing towards the kitchen, and said: "You don't know, there are distinguished guests in the mansion today, and my father asked you to prepare a sumptuous dinner. It must have some special features. According to the amount of ten people Do it, hurry up, the guests may arrive later."
Nian Bing said in surprise: "Miss, what kind of guest can make you so nervous?"
Xueyu said: "It's not me who is nervous, it's Dad who is nervous. I haven't seen him so nervous for a long time. Judging by his appearance, today's guest must be very special! Dad is already changing clothes, I I heard from my mother that my father will personally welcome the distinguished guests at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion."
Nian Bing burst into sweat, and couldn't help secretly wondering who the guest was today. Xue Po, who devours blood and destroys souls, has always had his eyes above his head, and is also known as the iron-blooded marshal. Could it be that the king of Ice Moon Empire came personally? its not right! With Xue Po's personality, even if the king came. It's impossible for him to be so nervous. What's more, the king is seriously ill, so why would he suddenly come to the Marshal's Mansion
With doubts, Nian Bing has been dragged to the kitchen by Xue Yu, Xue Yu giggled and said: "Nian Bing, you cook so well, let me watch you cook today. Okay?"
Nian Bing smiled. Said: "Are you supervising me, or do you want to worship me as a teacher?" Xueyu's personality is quite different from Xuejing's, she doesn't have the temperament of a lady at all, and compared with Longling's gentleness, she is more lively. Although Nian Bing has only been in the mansion for a few days, she is already very familiar with her. Just like ordinary friends, Xueyu will always ask Nian Bing some questions about diet after dinner at night.
Xueyu smiled and said, "I want to worship you as my teacher, but I don't know if you will accept it."
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Let's forget it, I'm afraid the Marshal will kill me. I'm still young. I still want to marry a wife and have children."
Xueyu blushed, "I hate it, I know you don't want it. But, she is a girl. I often hear people say that if you want to tie a man's heart, you must first tie his stomach. I want to learn some cooking skills from you, and when I get married, I can be a good wife and mother!"
Nian Bing looked at Xueyu's shy look, and thought in his heart, this is really a good girl, I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry her in the future, that person will be very happy. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but nodded to Xueyu.
Xueyu was overjoyed, "Nian Bing, are you really willing to teach me how to cook?"
Nian Bing smiled and said: "What's wrong? I will definitely fulfill your wish, but I don't know who will be so lucky in the future to marry our Miss Xueyu!"
Xueyu's pretty face turned even redder, she lowered her head a little coyly, and said, "It's disgusting, don't make fun of me. Then will I call you master from now on?"
Nian Bing shook his head and said: "That's not necessary, if you want, just call me big brother. I will take you as a younger sister. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, big brother will stand up for you." He has a good impression of Xueyu in his heart, but But there is no love between men and women, just like a cat, he completely treats Xueyu as a younger sister.
Xueyu clapped her hands and smiled, "Okay! Dad is only my daughter, and I always wanted to have an older brother who could protect me."
Seeing her happy look, Nian Bing couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "You are a lady, I am just a chef, I am the one who climbs high."
Xueyu pursed her lips, and said, "What are you talking about, I think you are very good! Thinking about your status and so on is annoying. I think you are the elder brother, so you are the elder brother."
Nian Bing stepped forward, lowered his head, and said, "Then tell brother, who is your sweetheart? Don't tell me no, I won't believe it. When I said that just now, your eyes were full of The look of longing, and the heartbeat is very fast, obviously you have a goal, maybe I can help you with something."
"It's disgusting. You came to make fun of me just after I recognized you as the eldest brother. In fact, I know that it is impossible for me to be with him." While talking, she lowered her head sadly.
Nian Bing was taken aback, looking at Xueyu's dejected look, he couldn't help asking: "What? Is this person already married?"
Xueyu shook her head and said: "No, but, I know he won't like me, not now, nor in the future."
Nian Bing didn't ask any more, because he didn't want to see Xue Yu's sad look, so he patted her on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't you want to learn cooking? Well, let's start today. Today, big brother asked you to cook." Let's see what real cooking is like. Xiaoyu, I think you should have learned martial arts."
Xueyu nodded, and said: "I have learned a little from my father, but my talent is not good, and I don't work hard. My current level is very average, far behind sister Xuejing."
Nian Bingxin said, your sister Xuejing has worshiped the Dragon King as a teacher now, and I am afraid that it will be even worse in the future. "With a certain foundation in martial arts, it will be much easier for you to learn cooking. You should read it first today, and then think about it carefully." In my actions, the basis of cooking is rationality. Any food has its own rationality. If you can run through and connect them rationally, then your cooking skills can at least reach the level of an ordinary chef. But if you want to Ascension to a higher realm can only rely on your continuous efforts."
Looking at Nian Bing's serious look. Xueyu said in surprise: "Brother, is there any relationship between cooking skills and martial arts?"
Nian Bing smiled slightly. Said: "Of course, in fact, all the skills are connected with each other, and they all have something to learn from each other. Do you know why the meals I make are very distinctive? Because, it is not just a separate cooking skill. With Let me come in, you will understand after seeing my cooking method." Since his cooking skills were recognized by Xue Po, Nian Bing's cooking is carried out in a separate place, and he does not want too many people See yourself cooking with magic. But today is an exception.
When Nian Bing brought a plate of dishes to the living room, Xueyu was still standing in the kitchen where he had previously cooked. Standing there blankly, her big eyes looked at the various kitchen utensils and materials on the stove without blinking. What Nian Bing had done before had shocked her so much that she never expected it. There is actually such a culinary skill in the world. Looking back at the gorgeous scene, her heart was deeply shocked. She never thought that Nian Bing's culinary skills were so magical.
Nian Bing made a total of sixteen dishes, six cold and ten hot. Plus a pot of delicious pigeon meat rice, although it takes a lot of time, but these are his best. When he was wearing the clothes of the servant of the Marshal's Mansion, he went to the living room to deliver the last pigeon meat meal, the originally empty living room was already full of people.
Xue Po and his wife are respectfully pouring tea. However, there were seven guests sitting in the living room. When Nian Bing came in with the meal, they saw them, and they also saw Nian Bing at the same time. It was the Seventh Blood Lion Elder who had just parted with him not long ago, and the Seventh Blood Lion Elder was even more surprised. Nian Bing, who had just succeeded the position of leader, actually served meals to the table in Xuepo Mansion wearing the clothes of the servant.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xue Po turned back to look at Nian Bing, but just didn't see the surprised gaze of the Seventh Blood Lion Elder, his feet sank slightly, and he said, "Is the food ready? You came back so late today, how can you come back?" Next time, I will deduct your wages. Where is the lady? Have you seen the lady?"
Nian Bing woke up from the sluggishness, and in an instant, he understood that another military official controlled by the Blood Lion Cult turned out to be Xue Po, one of the three marshals. The sudden change made Nian Bing feel a little ridiculous. The support he had always wanted to win would turn out to be his subordinates. How weird it is!
Thinking of this, Nian Bing couldn't help smiling and said: "Miss, she wants to learn cooking skills from me. She just recognized me as a big brother and is now in the kitchen. I'll call her here."
"What? Yu'er recognizes you as the eldest brother?" Mrs. Xue couldn't help frowning slightly. Although she was not a person of that kind of power, the identity of Nian Bing's chef was really far from Xue Yu's. What she was most worried about was that The daughter would fall in love with Nian Bing's handsome appearance, and when Nian Bing said this, Mrs. Xue's heart sank suddenly, thinking that what she was most worried about had happened.
Compared with Mrs. Xue's astonishment, Xue Po's eyes showed a trace of murderous intent. He had originally suspected Nian Bing, but because Nian Bing hadn't shown anything special these days, the doubts in his heart had weakened a lot. Now Nian Bing suddenly said that he The daughter recognized him as her elder brother, and Xue Po's heart suddenly became murderous. However, at this moment when the honored guest came, murderous intent just flashed in his eyes, and he soon returned to normal. He said calmly: "Okay, then go and call the lady over." After leaving the distinguished guests, he arrested Nian Bing and carefully interrogated his purpose.
Nian Bing discovered the true relationship between Xue Po and the Blood Lion Cult, so he naturally didn't want to hide anything, with a smile in his eyes, he said to the elder and the others: "Seven elders, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon .”
Xue Po was startled, and turned to look at the First Elder, only then did he realize that the seven elders had stood up, and asked suspiciously: "First Elder, is he also a member of our sect?" The surprise in his heart increased a little more than before , if Nian Bing also belongs to the Blood Lion Cult, then all his previous worries are unnecessary.
Seeing that Nian Bing did not hide their identities, the seven great elders hurried forward and said respectfully: "The seven blood lion elders have met the leader."
Nian Bing waved his hand and said: "Seven elders, don't be too polite."
The Great Elder said to Xue Po in a deep voice: "This is Baifa, the new leader of our religion. He has passed the test of the Blood Lion Hall and has been officially promoted to the leader of our religion. I don't see you soon."
Xue Po's heart was filled with horror, and he said to the Great Elder: "But, but he is just a chef in my mansion!"
This time even the seven elders were a little surprised, the elder frowned and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, why don't you hurry up and meet the leader of our sect."
Although Xue Po was full of doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to be rude at this time, and hurriedly said respectfully: "The blood lion hall is preparing for the elder Xue Po, and I have met the leader."
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Elder Xue Po, you don't have to be polite. I didn't expect, I really didn't expect. I was trying to persuade you to help me, but it turned out to be a family. I just took over the position of leader, so you don't have to be polite, and I will invite you in the future." You should contribute more to this teaching."
The skirt behind Xue Po's back has been soaked in cold sweat. As the preparatory elder of the Blood Lion Hall, he is of course very clear about the test that he needs to pass to become the official leader. Looking at the appearance of the seven elders, it is obvious that Nian Bing has passed that abnormal test Now, it can be seen how powerful he is, and, besides, I have let him be a chef for so many days. Although Xue Po is a well-known blood devourer and soul destroyer in front of others, and his status in the Blood Lion Hall is not low, but his position is still too far behind the leader. Kneeling down on one knee, he said fearfully: "Xue Po didn't know the presence of the leader before, what a disrespect, please punish the leader."
"It is really a blessing to have a talent like you." The sudden change made him feel a little bit ironic. Having said that, he turned to the seven elders and said, "Come on, everyone, take your seats. It took me a lot of effort to cook this meal. A few elders, have a taste." After speaking, he led the elders and Xue Po The husband and wife entered the table, although Xue Po repeatedly asked Nian Bing to sit in the main seat, but he finally chose an extra seat and sat down casually.
The first elder looked at the table of exquisite dishes that he had never seen before in surprise, before he could speak, the third elder, who was a little anxious, rushed to say: "Master, no, you really cook it at Xue Po's house. Chef?"
Nian Bing smiled and said: "My other profession is a chef! Elder Xue Po, I have not lied to you at all. In a few months, I will represent Qingfengzhai to participate in the God of Cooking Competition."
Xue Po smiled wryly: "Master, don't talk about it, I'm really ashamed!"
Mrs. Xue walked to Xue Po's side, bowed to Nian Bing and said: "My subordinate Snow Lion Hall's preparatory elder Xue has met the elder."
Xue Po is a member of the Blood Lion Cult, and Nian Bing is very different. He didn't expect Mrs. Xue to be a member of the sect. The Great Elder saw the doubts in Nian Bing's heart, and quickly explained: "Xue Po is my big disciple. Well, speaking of it, he is still your grandfather's younger brother, his wife is the second child's disciple, and she practices dark magic. Although she has not yet reached the realm of a magister, she has a weird innate domain, her domain is called Hidden Demon .This field does not need to consume too much magic power, it can be protected on the surface of the body at any time, it does not have any attack, defense and amplification effects, but it can completely cover up one's own magic aura. It is also a rare talent in this teaching .”
Madam Xue looked much calmer than Xue Po. He smiled and said, "The Great Elder is overwhelmed. My innate domain is no different from not having one. I lost face as a master."
Although Mrs. Xue said so, how could Nian Bing, who is well versed in the mysteries of magic, not know the magical effect of this innate domain called Hidden Demon? Even with his Tianyan acupoint, he didn't even see that Madam Xue had any abilities, he was just like an ordinary person. She should be a magic seeker now. If a magic seeker who looks like an ordinary person suddenly activates it, it will definitely be a very terrible thing. This hidden magic domain must be the biggest secret of Mrs. Xue. The leader of the Blood Lion Cult probably won't be able to find out either.
Just when Nian Bing was about to say something, Xue Yu's voice suddenly sounded, "Brother Nian Bing, why are you still coming out? It's amazing to see your cooking skills just now. You can start teaching me tonight." With that, Xueyu has already run into the living room.
Seeing her daughter appearing, Xue Po's face darkened, and said: "Yu'er, don't be rude, don't you see there are guests?"
Xueyu was completely stunned by Nian Bing's cooking skills before, waiting for her to react. Immediately, she couldn't wait to look for Nian Bing, and she had indeed forgotten that there were guests at home today. She looked at the seven elderly elders curiously, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Dad, I'm here to call Nian Bing, let's go now." Said. She also waved to Nian Bing.
Xue Po said: "Okay, Yu'er, you go down first. I still have something to do with Nian Bing, let him introduce the dishes he made to the guests." Xue Yu has always been afraid of her father, seeing Xue Po's face darken When he got down, he didn't dare to say anything more, winked at Nian Bing a few times, and then backed out.
Xue Yu winked at Nian Bing, Xue Po and Mrs. Xue saw it naturally, both of them looked a little strange, but neither of them said anything.
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "Elder Xue, madam, you don't have to misunderstand, I just thought that I was very close to Miss Xue, so I recognized her as my younger sister. I just regarded her as my younger sister. Xueyu is a good girl. Today she Tell me that I want to learn cooking so that I can find a good husband in the future. I can see that she should already have a sweetheart. If I have the chance, I will teach her some cooking skills. It seems that she is not a member of our school. Let's go." His meaning was obvious, he told Xue Po and his wife, you don't have to worry, I don't have that kind of meaning for your daughter, I just treat her as a younger sister.
Xue Po secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Although Nian Bing's status is respected, judging from Nian Bing's handsome appearance and unknown powerful strength, marrying such a person may not be a happy thing. Hearing what Nian Bing said, his expression Immediately, she looked a lot better, sighed softly, and said: "Yu'er has been naughty since she was a child, and she didn't have much interest in martial arts and magic, and her strength is really weak, so I didn't let her join the teaching, and she didn't know We are members of this sect. Master, I am not afraid of your jokes. The person Yu’er likes is the Seventh Prince you want to see. Although the Seventh Prince has some special hobbies, his appearance and character are really good. When I was fourteen years old, once I went out to fight with the army, Yu'er ran out to play and met bad guys, happened to meet the Seventh Prince and rescued her, since then, Yu'er secretly fell in love with the Seventh Prince, but we I don't understand why the seventh prince has such a hobby. Although he hasn't done anything to get out of the cabinet, he seems to be only interested in men. Although Yu'er and the seventh prince have become friends, they are like brothers all day long. Like. If you want to meet the Seventh Prince, it's much easier to go through Yu'er than through me."
Nian Bing froze for a moment, and secretly smiled wryly. Unexpectedly, I always wanted to find a chance to meet Yan Feng, but the opportunity was already in front of my eyes. Based on my relationship with Xueyu, I asked her to take me to meet Yan Feng. There really isn't anything wrong with the wind.
"Elder Xue, I think the purpose of the seven elders coming to see you today should be the same as mine. This time, I came to Ice Moon City precisely because our church is about to have a big action. I want you to cooperate." While speaking, colorful lights flashed around Nian Bing's body, and a barrier had already controlled the entire room, completely isolating the sound in the room.
Xue Po hurriedly said: "What is it that has alarmed the leader and the seven elders to come to Ice Moon City in person?"
The Great Elder said seriously: "Of course it's a major event. We are here in Ice Moon City. One is to test the new white-haired leader and the other thing is that we have to take action against the Ice Moon Empire. This action is related to this For the future development of the church, not only are we here, but we have also ordered the transfer of 500 blood guards from the main hall." After discussing with the elders, Nian Bing has decided to dispatch other fighters from the other branch halls, the 500 blood guards from the Blood Lion Hall It is the strongest of the Blood Lion Cult. In order to prevent too much blow to the Blood Lion Cult after failure, they decided to rely on five hundred Blood Guards and Ice Moon Church fighters to complete this mission together.
Nian Bing said: "This operation is called Changtian."
Xue Po was startled, and said: "Could it be that we want to..."
Nian Bing smiled and said: "It's not what you think. Although the sect is powerful in the dark, it is impossible to compete with a country. We just want to help a prince to ascend to the throne of God. Even so, we have taken a great risk .This time we will have to rely a lot on the help of Elder Xue."
Xue Po's heart moved, and he said: "Could it be that the one you want to assist is the Seventh Prince who didn't do anything?"
Nian Bing nodded, and said: "Yes, it's him. I have a good relationship with Yan Feng, and he is not polluted by the royal aura. This person's stepping up to the throne of God is only good for us, and it is good for us to change any other A prince, it will be very difficult for us to control."
Xue Po thought for a while, and said: "Then should I announce my support for the Seventh Prince now?"
Nian Bing shook his head and said: "No, the time is not yet ripe. After all, Yan Feng has not yet received the support of any forces. If you support him rashly, it will have the opposite effect. What we have to do now is to create various situations. Will He pushed this position, and when you need to come forward, I will naturally inform you that you are an important minister in the military. Now, I just want you to pay more attention to the military's movements. After all, once the First Prince, Second Prince and Fifth Prince The prince's fight for the throne will inevitably involve the military, and whoever has the real support of the military can secure the throne."
Xue Po pondered and said: "At present, the Bingyue Emperor's army is controlled by our three marshals. Although the power of the headquarters is great, our three marshals restrict each other. Although my men are the most capable, but the number of But it is the least, and the place where they are stationed is not close to Ice Moon City. There has been no war in recent years, and the other two marshals are also in Ice Moon City. They have already supported the First Prince and the Fifth Prince. Want to It's easy for the Seventh Prince to do something!" Nian Bing smiled lightly, with a cold light in his eyes, "It's really not easy, but there is no chance. When these three princes are attacking each other, it is our greatest strength." Opportunity. The forces in Ice Moon City are in turmoil. The Fifth Prince has successfully won over the Ice Moon Empire Magician Union. We will find a way to get the king's approval as soon as possible, he is the most promising candidate for succession, and when he returns to Ice Moon City, it's time for us to act."
There was a trace of murderous intent in Xue Po's eyes, and he made a cross-cutting gesture with his right hand, "You mean..."
Nian Bing shook his head and said: "No, although we are very sure that we can kill him in an ambush with our strength, but he still cannot die. If he dies, it will make one party bigger, and we will have no chance So, although we want to kill people, we are not the Fifth Prince."
…
Seven days later.
The fifth prince Yan Yun led more than a hundred of his entourages slowly on the official road. From a distance, he had already seen the tall city walls of Bingyue City, and he was full of confidence in his heart. He secretly thought, Bingyue City, I am back, This time, I must be your master, the master of the entire Ice Moon Empire. This time he went to Ice and Snow City, and he gained a lot. Although he lost the chance to chase Xue Jing because of the appearance of Galamandis, he got the support of the Magician Union of the Ice Moon Empire. I am full of confidence. It's back, and it's time to start acting.
"Report—" A guard of the Fifth Prince's Mansion rode a fast horse from the direction of Ice Moon City. After meeting the Fifth Prince's team, he quickly got off his horse and knelt down on the ground.
