The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 611: The King's Ambition
Shangguan Danfeng and Shangguan Feiyan's guesses were almost close to the truth, with just a slight deviation.

This slight deviation also made the Red Flame Dragon become the boss of the Azure Dragon.

Li Chaofeng, who was being discussed by the two, had no idea that Shangguan Feiyan and Shangguan Danfeng had almost guessed his true identity.

But even if his true identity was seen through, it would not be a big deal for Li Chaofeng, who could fly into the sky and had scales all over his body.

This does not mean that Li Chaofeng wants his true identity to be seen through by everyone at a glance.

Lu Xiaofeng was able to recognize Li Chaofeng because he was very familiar with Li Chaofeng's voice, and he also had the Deer-Cutting Knife as evidence.

But not only had Hua Manlou never seen Li Chaofeng, he was also a blind man.

Li Chaofeng had Liu Yunzhi sitting on his shoulders. In order to avoid the bumps, he could only look straight ahead and walk steadily.

But his brain was still thinking about his weaknesses.

Li Chaofeng could understand why Lu Xiaofeng could recognize him.

Compare that he just changed his face and didn't try to cover up his voice or body shape.

The two have known each other for nearly ten years, and Li Chaofeng still carries a deer-cutting knife with him, so it would be strange if he didn't recognize him.

But Hua Manlou had never met Li Chaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng was also a little curious about this matter and asked.

"Hua Manlou, how could you recognize Li Chaofeng? Have you met him before?"

Although Hua Manlou cannot see, he walks like a normal person.

Hearing Lu Xiaofeng's question, he also smiled and shook his head.

"The Dragon God and I have never met before."

Lu Xiaofeng was surprised and said, "Looking at Li Chaofeng's current appearance, if he hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have recognized him."

"How do you know his identity if you have never seen him?"

Hua Manlou was aware of Lu Xiaofeng's curiosity, so he nodded and began to explain.

“Although I have never met Lord Dragon God, I have heard of his ability to communicate with gods through his five senses.”

Lu Xiaofeng was full of surprise: "Just based on this, are you sure he is Li Chaofeng?"

Hua Manlou smiled without saying anything, while Li Chaofeng beside him explained calmly.

"Because of the taste."

Lu Xiaofeng: "What do you mean?"

Hua Manlou answered: "Although my nose is not as good as the Dragon God's, I can still smell strange smells."

"And for a person with five senses, it is difficult for him to have any other strange smells."

Lu Xiaofeng sniffed the air with curiosity, then lowered his head and sniffed himself, looking at Hua Manlou with confusion in his eyes.

"Strange smell?"

"So you can sniff out my location with just your nose?"

Hua Manlou shook his head: "My sense of smell is just a little better than that of ordinary people, but I can't use my nose to know the identity of others."

Turning his head to Li Chaofeng, Hua Manlou also smiled.

"People who have been traveling around the world for many years are inevitably mixed with all kinds of worldly things, but there are only subtle differences, and it is always difficult to distinguish them."

"Although the Dragon God has some worldly airs, he is so clean that he doesn't look like a gangster."

"This cannot be achieved by simply being a martial arts expert. One must have a strong sense of smell."

"Only in this way can we make it as clean as indoors even when walking outdoors."

“And there is no one in the world who can do this.”

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "Only the Red Flame Dragon."

After Hua Manlou finished explaining, he turned his head back to Lu Xiaofeng and asked.

"Lu Xiaofeng, do you have any plans regarding the matter entrusted by King Jinpeng?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, looked at Li Chaofeng helplessly, and also shook his head in reply.

"With him here, there's no need to make any plans."

"We, Li Longshen, need to know the location of Qingyi Tower from Yan Tieshan or Dugu Yihe."

"We just went to Shanxi and Emei with him, but we couldn't decide anything."

Hua Manlou was puzzled: "Huh? Why is Huo Xiu not here?" Lu Xiaofeng said seriously and firmly: "Huo Xiu is my friend, I believe he is definitely not the mastermind behind Qingyi Building"

Without waiting for Hua Manlou to respond, Li Chaofeng frowned slightly and gave a reminder.

“It is difficult to draw the bones of a dragon or a tiger; you can know a person’s face but not his heart.”

"Trust exists only to be betrayed."

Hua Manlou was puzzled: "Did Lord Dragon God find any problem?"

Li Chaofeng narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and continued speaking.

"The Golden Peng King in the hall has been following Shangguan Danfeng's instructions."

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head: "The Jinpeng Dynasty has long been destroyed, and King Jinpeng does not need to maintain the majesty of the king."

"Princess Danfeng is the only daughter of King Jinpeng. When she is ill, it is reasonable for her to follow the arrangements of her relatives."

Li Chaofeng frowned: "They are not only father and daughter, but also monarch and subject."

"A father may obey his daughter's instructions, but a king should not obey the orders of his subjects."

Lu Xiaofeng remained silent and tilted his head to look over Li Chaofeng's shoulder.

Liu Yunzhi listened with her ears perked up, her expression as calm as water.

Thinking about the conversation between Li Chaofeng and Liu Yunzhi just now, if Hua Manlou hadn't interfered, Liu Yunzhi would have been frightened for a while.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng sighed.

"There is always more than one kind of king in the world."

"There are wise rulers, mediocre rulers, and even tyrants and incompetent rulers."

"King Jinpeng may be a moderate monarch who is willing to trust his subjects, just like the emperor of the current dynasty."

Lu Xiaofeng was talking about King Jinpeng, but his eyes were fixed on Li Chaofeng.

The Scarlet Flame Dragon is not the emperor, but his fame far exceeds that of the emperor.

Although Li Chaofeng had already shown signs of being dedicated to the public during his time as the Sky Dragon.

But after becoming the Red Flame Dragon, Li Chaofeng can still be impartial and selfless.

This caused huge ripples in Lu Xiaofeng's heart.

The "Book of Loyalty" says: Loyalty means being impartial and selfless.

What loyal and righteous people pursue throughout their lives is not only to serve the emperor wholeheartedly, but also to be selfless.

But this selfless person doesn't have the emperor in his eyes?
His status is higher than that of the emperor, but he has no respect for the emperor.
Li Chaofeng governed the world as a true dragon, making the countless classics and principles that Lu Xiaofeng had learned become empty talk.

The true dragon is respected, his position is equal to that of the emperor.

But a true dragon is not a human being and cannot be the emperor.

The divide-and-rule model of the Shenlong Gang's several sons doesn't look like they are going to establish a new dynasty.

Lu Xiaofeng was completely unable to judge what Li Chaofeng was going to do or what Li Chaofeng wanted to do.

He could only speculate bit by bit, and then it was overturned.

Hearing Lu Xiaofeng mention the emperor of the current dynasty, Li Chaofeng paused slightly, then quickly stepped forward and said coldly.

"The ruler is the ruler, and the minister is the minister."

"No matter if he is a wise ruler or a mediocre ruler, or a tyrant or a fool."

"A king who follows the orders of his subjects is nothing more than a puppet in the hands of others."

Lu Xiaofeng frowned: "In your mind, the king can only do what he wants?"

Li Chaofeng looked back at Lu Xiaofeng, his face showing some anger, and his tone became even colder.

"The king is the hub of the world. If he has no will in his heart, how can he coordinate the selfishness of the people?"

"As for walking alone, if you can lead the people of the world to walk forward with the king, then there is no need to say that you are walking alone."

Li Chaofeng's tone was very serious.

He spoke only to hint to Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou that King Jinpeng was a scoundrel.

As a result, Lu Xiaofeng changed the subject and almost led him into a ditch.
Aren’t people in the underworld supposed to be simple?
The result is still intrigue.

Gan!
