The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 303 Goodbye Ssangyong
night banquet
In the vast wilderness, the sky is the dome and the ground is the mat. The banquet is held in this wild and natural environment.

Under the bright bonfire, Shang Xiuxun, dressed in Tsing Yi, sat upright as the chief case officer, while the chief supervisor, Shang Zhen, Liu Zongdao, Tao Shusheng and other four deacons sat on her right hand in turn.

As the guests, Li Xiuning and Shen Youzhi were arranged in the first table on the left.

On the table are bacon, grilled fish and all kinds of pastries carefully prepared by the chef.

Knowing that Li Xiuning is from the north, Shang Xiuxun specially arranged for "two chefs" to prepare first-class bacon to entertain the distinguished guests.

"This is the special bacon from the two new chefs at my ranch. It has an excellent flavor. Guests can taste it first." Shang Xiuxun looked at Li Xiuning and Shen Youzhi with a smile.

Li Xiuning was born in a wealthy family in the north, so it can be said that she grew up eating meat since she was a child.

But even so, she still felt that the bacon on the case had a unique aroma, as if some kind of secret spice had been added.

Take a small sip, and the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth. Not only the burnt meat itself, but also the stimulation of various condiments, will immediately hook the glutton in your mouth.

"Sure enough, it's a chef. The method and ingredients used for this bacon are comparable to those of the top chefs in Chang'an!" Li Xiuning said with admiration.

Shang Xiuxun, who was seated in the chair, also had a smile on his face when he heard the words, but he was not surprised, as if he had already expected Li Xiuning's reaction.

As early as a few days ago, she had tasted the craftsmanship of those two people, and even though her taste was as picky as hers, she could basically find no faults.

Thinking of this, Shang Xiuxun said:
"If the princess likes it, I will let those two come over and tell the princess how to make bacon."

"In the future, when the princess returns to the north, she can also make it in the same way."

Although his heart is not here, but seeing Shang Xiuxun's high interest, Li Xiuning has nothing to do with it.

The summoner went for a long time, but did not see the two chefs, Shang Xiuxun frowned suddenly.

To avoid Shang Xiuxun's embarrassment, Li Xiuning immediately said loudly:
"I think the two chefs are not feeling well, so it's inconvenient to see guests, and Xiuning can go to ask for advice in person when she is free."

The so-called method of bacon, in the final analysis, is just a talk, to enliven the atmosphere of the banquet, so as to facilitate the discussion of business.

The current situation is obviously that there is a small accident on the other side. In order to prevent the silence and make it impossible to proceed with the business, Li Xiuning naturally wants to skip this topic on his own initiative.

"It's because I was not strict in discipline and neglected the distinguished guests. I hope the owner of the venue will forgive me." The manager Shang Zhen also immediately took the blame.

Seeing that both of them had spoken, Shang Xiuxun didn't have much to say, so he gave some symbolic reprimands to Shang Zhen, and the banquet continued.

As the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became active, Li Xiuning could finally get to the point——

"To be honest, Xiuning's visit to Gui Ranch this time is to represent the Li family and wants to form an alliance with the mall owner."

"In the future, whenever my Li Family needs war horses, they can purchase them from the owner."

Shang Xiuxun is shrewd and wise, so he naturally knows that there is no such thing as taking advantage but not losing.

Li Xiuning's words seemed to give Pegasus Ranch a stable sales channel, but in fact they wanted to tie the two parties together so that Pegasus Ranch could only supply war horses to the Li family.

After pondering for a moment, Shang Xiuxun responded softly:

"There are many nobles and generals, so the demand for horses must be huge. My Pegasus Ranch alone may not be enough to supply."

Li Xiuning had an exquisite mind, and naturally heard the other party's subtext.

On the surface, Shang Xiuxun said that there were not enough horses to supply, but in fact, he didn't want to supply only one family, and didn't want to be too deeply bound with the Li clan.

From a business point of view, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you really cannot rely on channels and paths.

But it can only be said that although Shang Xiuxun is proficient in business, his sensitivity to the current situation and politics is still too low. He doesn't know that the current world structure has been finalized, and the general trend of the Li Clan to calm down the north and even the world is already unstoppable.

She doesn't want to be bound to the Li family now, and she is worried about angering other forces, but she doesn't know that she has rejected a meritorious service from the dragon.

Although Shang Xiuxun didn't understand, fortunately there were still people who understood in the ranch.

Liu Zongdao, one of the four major deacons, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately said:
"The princess doesn't know something. Recently, my Pegasus Ranch has not been peaceful."

"The four bandits who are rampant in the rivers and lakes have always been active in the surrounding area, and they will take advantage of the fire from time to time to loot."

"The horses on the ranch are also often looted by them, so the owners are worried about the lack of supply."

The so-called four bandits are "no blade of grass grows" Xiang Batian, "chicken and dog don't stay behind" the house sees the cauldron, "the scorched earth thousands of miles" is hairy, and "ghost cry god" Cao Yinglong.

These four people are skilled in martial arts, and their subordinates are even more powerful. They often wander around the south, plundering merchants, and sometimes they even storm towns and loot them all.

In order to deal with them, Pegasus Ranch also reached an alliance with Jingling, agreeing that the two sides will take care of each other, and once the four major bandits attack, they will join forces to resist.

Shang Xiuxun, who was seated by the master, frowned slightly, a little surprised at Liu Zongdao's sudden interruption.

Li Xiuning took advantage of the situation and took up the conversation, sighing:

"When the world is in chaos, it will naturally breed banditry, and the people who bear the brunt are always the common people."

Liu Zongdao understood, and immediately replied:

"As long as the Great Tang can rule the world, the evils can be eradicated, and there will be peace."

He bit the words "unify the world" very hard, intending to remind Shang Xiuxun.

Li Xiuning looked at Shang Xiuxun who was sitting on the master seat, and said humbly:

"This will require the generous assistance of the field owner."

With Liu Zongdao's touch, Shang Xiuxun finally came to his senses.

However, just as she was waiting for a response, Shen Youzhi, who had never had any sense of presence, suddenly spoke——

"Since the two little friends are here, why do you need to hide?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.

Because they didn't notice the slightest abnormality at all.

"Where is the little thief! How dare you make trouble here?!" Shang Zhen immediately complained.

This banquet is related to the future of Pegasus Ranch, and no one will allow it to be deliberately sabotaged!

On the other side, Liu Zongdao, Wu Zhaoru and others also restrained themselves and carefully checked the surroundings.

Even so, they still couldn't perceive any traces.

If someone is really hiding in the dark, there must be heartbeat and breathing, and it is impossible to hide from everyone's perception.

But right now, they don't feel any abnormality at all.

Could it be that Mr. Shen made a mistake?
impossible!
Everyone rejected their absurd ideas in their hearts.

The great master's telepathy is extraordinary and holy, and it is absolutely impossible to misjudge it!
After waiting for a long time but still not seeing the two of them coming out, Shen Youzhi immediately stretched out his hand and said softly, "Come on!"

Before the words fell, two figures were pulled out from the darkness immediately, like two kites tied by strings.

Seeing that the little thief was rescued, Shang Xiuxun was about to get angry, but when he saw the faces of those two people, he lost his composure immediately.

These two "little thieves" turned out to be people from their own ranch!
And none other than the two "chefs" who were absent before - Fu Jing and Fu Ning.

Originally, the sudden disappearance of the two of them had already made Shang Xiuxun lose face, but now that the little thief has become a house thief again, it naturally made her, the host, lose face even more.
