The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 42
  At three o'clock in the morning, there was a noise outside the tent. Hu Tiehua and the three people who were discussing something looked at each other seriously and quickly walked out.

At this time, on the lawn, the four brothers Peng Yihu were surrounded by a group of Qiuci guards, and Peng Yihu asked coldly.

"What does that mean, king?"

In front of Peng Yihu was King Qiuci, who was still full of joy last night. At this time, he frowned and said.

"Master Peng, it's not that Xiao Wang doesn't want to believe you, it's just that I sent someone to check the entire camp last night, and only your family is new. The Star of Bliss is very important, so please let us check it carefully."

Peng Yihu's face turned colder and his tone became colder.

"Check? Peng still doesn't understand what the king means?"

King Qiuci didn't know how to explain it, because this kind of thing was just a reason for him to find trouble.

The Star of Bliss was lost. Although King Qiuci knew that it was worthless, he had to express his attitude that he would not give up until he found it.

But around him, the only ones with good martial arts skills were the Wu brothers. As for the four sons of the Peng family, they were about the same as the Wu brothers, or even better.

But the fourth son of the Peng family is a member of the Peng family, and the Peng family in Shanxi may not be willing to get involved in the affairs of the Qiuci Kingdom. They only run an escort agency and have no plans to develop any power in the desert.

Peng Yihu had expressed his intention to leave yesterday, but was forced to stay by King Qiuci.

So the question is, the Kucha soldiers he brought with him are not even as good as the Wu brothers, who else can he let go to Shi Guanyin in exchange for the Star of Bliss?

Chu Liuxiang's martial arts was not bad in the eyes of King Qiuci, but he disappeared last night.

The one with the highest martial arts skills around King Qiuci is Princess Pipa. She can tell that Chu Liuxiang's martial arts is no worse than that of the Wu brothers, but she doesn't know that their martial arts are far different.

But Hu Tiehua's shocking blow yesterday made the people of Kucha understand that Hu Tiehua is the one with the highest martial arts among all people, and she is also the "life-saving straw" that King Kucha should seize "by all means".

But King Qiuci is willing to ask for help, but Hu Tiehua may not be willing to help. You can't exchange a Kuci maid for a top expert. That top level expert is too cheap.

This time, Chu Liuxiang and the others had never encountered a desert water crisis. If they had not misunderstood that Black Pearl had lured him here, they would have left as they wanted and stayed as they wanted.

The final strategy can only be a combination of carrot and stick.

Peng Yihu sent the Star of Bliss, but wasn’t the Star of Bliss lost?
  Who knows if the other party delivered the goods on the front foot, but arranged for someone to secretly take it away on the back foot.

The hiding behavior of Hu Tiehua and the others was also amplified. In short, if the four sons of the Peng family did not explain the matter clearly today, then Peng Yihu and the others would not be able to leave the Kucha camp.

Being messy and messy is "hard".

And "soft".

When King Qiuci saw Hu Tiehua's tent being pushed away, he didn't care whether he was looking for trouble or not. The spring breeze returned to his face, and he looked concerned towards Hu Tiehua and the others.

"Did the heroes sleep well last night?"

"."

Now everyone can see that this guy wants to ask someone to do something, but if they don't agree, then those messy things just now may really happen.

However, Ji Bingyan kept looking around, looking for Chu Liuxiang who was supposed to be hanging out with Princess Pipa.

In his hand he held a letter, the same letter he had received from the camel that morning.

Shi Guanyin’s letter.

"Your friends are already in my hands. If you want the pirate commander to return safely, you must act according to the king's orders and don't create any complications."

There is also a statue of Guanyin Buddha with thousands of hands and eyes painted on the letter.

!!!

No wonder the guy never came back to exchange information.

Chu Bedbug is in big trouble again! ! !

The letter appeared in the middle of the night and was hung on the camel by Shi Guanyin himself. It was then seen by Ji Bingyan who was counting supplies early in the morning. At this time, Hu Tiehua also saw the missing figure of Chu Liuxiang beside Princess Pipa, and frowned.

At this critical moment, Chu Liuxiang couldn't leave without saying goodbye. It seemed that what the letter said was true!

Chu Liuxiang's martial arts is the highest among the three. Although Hu Tiehua has improved a bit, she cannot say that she will win against Chu Liuxiang.

But as if he didn't know that Chu Liuxiang was taken away, he ignored Shi Guanyin's instructions and roared loudly.

"The way you ask for help is quite special!"

King Qiuci didn't feel embarrassed at all, and actually nodded and admitted.

"The hero has really good eyes. Xiao Wang has no choice but to ask the hero for help. But he is worried that there is nothing worthy of the hero here, so Xiao Wang can only use this method."

Hu Tiehua's face was dull. King Qiuci was so compromised that he didn't know whether he should lose his temper.

At this time, King Qiuci also waved to the people around him, and saw two guards walking out immediately carrying several boxes, and then opened three of the boxes directly.

In the box, the golden light was brilliant, the pearls were crystal clear, and the jade was flawless, which captivated everyone's eyes for a while.

But Hu Tiehua just glanced at him, his eyes were contemptuous, his expression was stern, and his voice was full of anger.

"You want me to exchange for the Star of Bliss for you?"

Yes, the box contains the amount of treasure Shi Guanyin requested, five thousand taels of gold, five hundred pearls, and fifty jade sides.

King Qiuci nodded repeatedly, then clapped his hands, and the other three boxes were also opened.

But they are exactly the same property, five thousand taels of gold, five hundred pearls, and fifty sides of jade.

After both boxes were opened, King Qiuci looked into Li Chaofeng's eyes and revealed his purpose.

"As long as Hua Daxia is willing to take three boxes of goods to the trading location, then when you come back with the Star of Bliss, the second batch of goods will belong to you and your companions."

Following King Qiuci's gaze, Hu Tiehua turned to look at Ji Bingyan and Li Chaofeng behind her, who looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

Did Shi Guanyin want double the ransom when he kidnapped Chu Liuxiang?

The Star of Bliss is very beautiful, but it is only worth five thousand taels of gold at most.

The price proposed by Jade Guanyin was already high enough, but King Qiuci was willing to spend twice as much wealth in order to regain the Star of Bliss.

Sure enough, life is all about acting.

Li Chaofeng, who knew the details, remained calm. He and King Qiuci looked at each other, thinking about what happened after Chu Liuxiang met Shi Guanyin last night.

And why did King Qiuci pay Hu Tie such a high transfer fee?

Yes, King Qiuci didn't know what he thought. He actually thought that Li Chaofeng, the youngest, was the leader among the three.

Li Chaofeng didn't know what Chu Liuxiang and Ji Bingyan had secretly discussed, but he didn't sleep deeply last night.

He could smell the scent of the Bliss Star, and naturally he could also smell the floral fragrance on Chu Liuxiang.

Ever since Hu Tiehua took a bath, the smell of Chu Liuxiang was the biggest smell around him, but the floral scent was still acceptable to Li Chaofeng.

So Chu Liuxiang entered the king's tent last night, and then tangled with Shi Guanyin for a while, and then he returned to his tent, completely unaware of what happened when he returned to inform Ji Bingyan.

When Li Chaofeng discovered that Chu Liuxiang had returned to his residence, he naturally fell asleep. As long as he didn't die, he would naturally know the result tomorrow.

However, the next day, Li Chaofeng learned from Ji Bingyan that Chu Liuxiang had been kidnapped by Shi Guanyin.
