Chapter 621 What I want is your life!

Baza stared at the beauty's face, which had turned red and purple, with a sinister look on his face, showing no intention of letting go.

He was once just a general of the Eagle Kingdom, but one day he successfully usurped the throne and slaughtered the entire bloodline of the Eagle Kingdom's royal family.

Besides the late queen now being his concubine, he killed all the members of the late royal family.

He became the king of the Eagle Kingdom.

Therefore, he can no longer bear to hear anyone call him 'Sir'.

He quickly snapped the beauty's neck, then smashed the wine bowl on the ground in a fit of rage.

"Get out, all of you!"

As soon as the singing and dancing stopped, the dancers panicked and hurriedly ran away, bowing their backs.

Baza vented his anger.

"What time is it? Where's Liu Li? Where's Batur?!"

"Where has the ghost gone?!"

"Didn't Batur say that he would present me with a top-quality beauty from the Central Plains?"

"If he dares to deceive me, I will surely kill him—"

The attendant risked his life to step forward and persuade him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Han man Liu Li sent word back yesterday that he has a batch of fresh, high-quality goods, so he wants to personally serve the Buddha Shatuo."

"Perhaps it is this matter that has delayed our arrival."

"As for Batur, after Yalikun died, he inexplicably disappeared. We don't know if he fled to avoid punishment..."

Bazaar: "A bunch of useless trash!"

"What on earth is this Batur up to? He's been dealing with a bunch of Han Chinese for so long, and not only has he not brought me the beauty, but he's also caused such a big mess at Alikun's residence!"

"Could it be that he wants to replace Alikun?"

"I do not mind those who are capable rising to power, but he dared to act rashly without informing me, so I cannot let him live!"

"Have any messages returned from the men I sent out?"

The servant lowered his head tremblingly: "Your Majesty, there has been no news to this day..."

Bazaar's face instantly turned as cold as ice.

"Could it be these Han Chinese...?"

"But how could that be? Didn't Batur say that they were just a bunch of merchants, a few of whom knew any martial arts, and that beauty was just a pretty face?"

Seeing that Baza was getting angrier, the servant quickly stepped forward to appease him: "Your Majesty, the kitchen received a fresh ingredient today and they can't wait to cook it for you to taste."

"Why don't I serve you some dishes so you can try them first?"

Bazaar casually asked, "What fresh ingredients? Is there anything I haven't tried before?"

Attendant: "Your Majesty has naturally tasted all kinds of delicacies, but when today's ingredients were delivered, his veins were still throbbing."

"I went down and smelled it, and even the raw meat smelled strangely delicious."

Bazaar finally showed interest: "Oh? What is this thing?"

Attendant: "It looks like a fish."

"But I have never seen anything like it before, it's just a piece of meat cut off from a fish."

It is extremely rare for people in Eagle King City to eat fish.

Bazaar became interested: "Then bring out the dishes. I want to try them and see what rare ingredients they are."

Soon, the aroma of the cooked dishes reached the bazaar.

Each dish was not only cooked to perfection in color, aroma, and taste, but also featured dishes that were rarely seen in the bazaar.

Baza stared but didn't start eating immediately: "This cook is quite interesting today."

The attendant quickly replied, "Your Majesty, a new chef has joined the kitchen today. He said he used to work in a large restaurant in the Central Plains, so most of the dishes are ones he learned there."

Bazaar: "A new cook? People from the Central Plains just like to make all sorts of fancy things."

"Have you found out who the new cook is? Don't give any villains the chance to poison me, or I'll drag all of you irresponsible bastards down with me before I die!"

The servant replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this cook is a distant cousin of the head chef, Kazel, and has been working in our kitchen for two or three months now."

"Faced with this fresh fish, Kazel didn't know where to start. Just then, Kazel came back from home and said he knew how to cook it, so he gave it a try."

"His culinary skills were truly amazing after this trial, which is why we allowed his dishes to be served."

Hearing this, Baza finally let go of his resentment.

He picked up his chopsticks and first tasted the braised fish piece with its thick sauce and vibrant color.

After taking one bite, he immediately opened his eyes in amazement.

So this is what food from the Central Plains tastes like?

No wonder everyone wants to go to the Central Plains.

Like the beauties of the Central Plains, they are the epitome of exquisite taste, truly delectable.

Bazaar couldn't help but start eating heartily.

The more I eat, the more I can't stop.

In the end, he managed to eat all the food on the table by himself.

He then let out a satisfied burp and drank three more bowls of wine.

He wiped his mouth and loudly ordered, "Reward!"

"Go, bring that cook up here. I want to reward him personally!"

The cook was brought up quickly.

She was a small guy whose figure wasn't particularly outstanding among men.

Bazaar's eyes flashed with disdain: "So you're the cook who prepared my meal today?"

"Such a small frame, yet you can still flip an iron ladle? Come here, let me take a closer look!"

The cook stepped forward slowly, touched his chest, and bowed respectfully: "This humble servant greets Your Majesty."

Bazaar: "What kind of meat is this? It's so delicious! How would you like me to reward you?"

"explain!"

"I am in a good mood right now, and I will grant you whatever reward you desire. Of course, this includes the beauties of my harem."

The cook slowly raised his head: "Your Majesty, guess what kind of beast's meat this is?"

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty should also recognize this thing."

"After all, it was something Your Majesty personally raised."

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten how you instructed Liu Li and the others to feed this beast, which is located in a cave a hundred miles west of the city?"

Bazaar's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Upon realizing what this thing was and how it was fed, he couldn't bear it any longer and turned away to vomit.

He vomited all over the floor with a "splash," and the entire hall instantly reeked.

"Who—who are you?"

How do you know these things?

"Guards—no! I, the King, will kill you myself—"

Enraged, Baza pulled out the large knife hanging beside him, stepped onto the low table, and leaped up to slash!

The cook calmly retreated while simultaneously raising his hand and shooting a hidden arrow at the bazaar.

Baza parried the sword with his knife, but in that opening, the cook ducked under Baza and, in the instant they passed each other, thrust his short knife upwards fiercely!

"ah!"

Baza let out a scream and fell to the ground.

His Achilles tendon was cut.

Baza was furious: "I'll tear you to pieces!"

The cook merely sneered, "You're not the only one in this world who wants to tear me to pieces."

"But none of them had a good ending."

"You are next."

"Didn't Lord Baza just ask me what reward I wanted?"

"I've already thought it through."

"What I want is your life!"

The cook deliberately dragged out the word "sir," which made Baza's eyes instantly bloodshot with anger, like a cow that had drunk human blood, almost completely losing its mind.

"Give me your life!"

Baza attacked again with his knife, but the cook remained calm and skillfully dealt with the attack using a short knife.

Her martial arts skills were not particularly outstanding.

But her advantage lay in her agility; like a nimble snake, she darted and dodged within the bazaar's field of vision, making it impossible for him to catch her.

Baza was as strong as an ox and had been on the battlefield for a long time, exuding a fierce aura.

But he was used to killing people in a straightforward manner, and he rarely encountered a cunning assassin like the cook.

So at first, he was really confused by the cook's tricks.

However, the more this happened, the angrier he became.

He grabbed a large sword and started hacking wildly inside the hall.

As a result, the eunuchs and servants who were hiding were all killed.

As for the cook, he had already jumped onto his throne and was staring at him with a cold laugh.

They mocked him: "Lord Bazaar, is this all you've got?"

"I really don't know how you managed to usurp the throne and become such a traitor."

"King of the Eagle Kingdom? You dare to challenge me?"

These words completely enraged Bazar, causing him to lose all reason and charge forward again.

Baza drew his knife and used all his inner strength to slash at the throne.

The throne was instantly split in two.

The cook simply leaped lightly to the side again.

When Bazaar raised his knife to strike him again, she simply stood there motionless.

Before the bazaar's knife could fall, he felt a powerful force gripping his heart.

He stopped abruptly, clutching his heart tightly.

It felt as if someone was violently stirring his internal organs with a stick, causing Baza to be instantly unable to move due to the pain.

He collapsed to the ground, looked at the broken plates, and finally realized the truth.

"You...poisoned me..."

Li Qingluo: "Not too stupid."

"Otherwise, why do you think I would dare to assassinate you all by myself?"

"The poison you've been given will take effect if you get angry and upset. Using martial arts will only worsen the situation."

"The angrier you are, the more pain you will experience."

"Bazaar, how many lives have you taken? Now it's time for you to go to hell."

Looking at the person in front of him who had ruined him with just one dish, Baza convulsed in pain and could no longer get up.

"Guards! Guards!"

The arrogant Bazar had just wanted to personally kill the short cook.

But now he only wants his personal guards to chop the cook to pieces, then turn him into a dish that he himself must eat!

Unfortunately, even if he screams until his throat is hoarse today, no one will come to save him.

The sounds of fighting could already be heard from the front yard.

And they are gradually moving in this direction.

Bazaar then realized that the cook was not a single person!

He not only came prepared, but he probably also wants to overthrow his own throne!

"Who exactly are you...?"

The cook ripped off the human skin mask from his face, revealing his true appearance.

It turns out that the cook was none other than Li Qingluo, who was disguised as a man and had changed her appearance!
