In Yihongyuan, Hara Hirofumi, Doihara Zenji, and Jade-faced Fox gathered together, and all three of them looked very unhappy.
They looked at each other, trying to find some flaws in each other.
Nothing was found.
There was anger and confusion on their faces, and they looked at each other with deep suspicion.
This round of plan failed again without a doubt. They exerted great efforts and even used the top secret method of controlling evil spirits to kill one of their Shikigami completely in order to deceive Xue Cheng who was protected by the imperial dragon energy. However, they failed again.
And the failure was complete and obvious. They even heard the most top-notch secret information from the Jinyiwei that people from the East Factory had arrived.
They took the greatest risks and made great sacrifices, but not only did they not gain anything, but they suffered another tragic defeat.
Doihara Genji and Jade-faced Fox both stared at Hara Hirofumi, and Hara Hirofumi also stared at them both without giving in.
They had long been familiar with the culture of Daxia, and they were particularly aware of the taboos surrounding the Witchcraft Rebellion.
Therefore, when Yuan Bowen heard that there was a magical technique that could penetrate the imperial palace, he spent a huge amount of money to go to Yunzhou, where he inherited the relevant witchcraft.
Moreover, the experiments were carried out for a long period of time in Yunzhou and even in the Kingdom of the Sunrise. The person from the Kingdom of the Sunrise also strongly supported it and directly used the local residents as experimental subjects to recreate the horrific witchcraft of the past.
Of course they would talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness in front of great scholars.
But they are more practical and know what they want. In order to achieve their goals, they will do whatever it takes.
"How...how could this happen?"
Doihara and the other two were stunned at first. They had a deep understanding of Daxia culture and knew clearly that the consequences of this incident should usually be recorded.
"It's over, we're finished..."
The Jade-faced Fox's face was also pale. After a moment, he suddenly stared at Yuan Bowen and said with a ferocious look, "It's you, isn't it?"
"Everything was planned by you. You betrayed the Empire. Are you going to put us to death?"
"What sinister intentions do you have? If the Five Grains Technique goes awry, you absolutely won't survive. Why would you do this? Why would you bring destruction upon us?"
They all knew what the consequences of such a thing would be.
Yuan Bowen also looked grim, but he calmed down after thinking for a moment.
"Just find someone to take the blame. This isn't the old days after all. As long as enough people come forward to take the blame, the matter will be over. The key issue now isn't witchcraft, but the leak of intelligence..."
When he said this, his eyes flashed with ferocity as he stared at the two people in front of him.
The three of them were on the verge of a fight, as if they were about to start a fight at any moment.
…
"Boss, add more chili!"
"Hey, the customer is really knowledgeable. The chili sauce I made as a topping is a real specialty."
Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the steaming bowl of wide noodles in front of him. The noodles were completely hand-pulled, with uniform thickness. A few slices of green vegetables were added on top, and then a spoonful of chili made from garlic and chili was poured on it.
Just smelling the spicy smell makes one's appetite open.
I picked up a piece of noodles and put it in my mouth. The noodles were not too soft, but quite chewy and even a little springy, showing the craftsmanship of the ramen chef.
“That’s great!”
Zhang Mingtu sincerely admired it.
After practicing to this level, ordinary food no longer has much effect on him, but Zhang Mingtu still tries it.
If the more you practice cultivation, the less human you become, then there is not much meaning in living in this world. The person who practices cultivation is like a Bodhisattva in a temple, a stone, a lump of mud, not a human being.
He has always considered himself a human being and has been working hard to achieve this.
The shopkeeper's face was red from the swirling steam in front of him, but he still had a smile on his face.
This world is huge, so huge that there are martial saints who can soar in the sky and fly freely, and so huge that its territory is boundless. An ordinary person may not be able to travel across the entire territory of Daxia in his lifetime.
But sometimes the world is very small. For the owner of this ramen restaurant, his world is the stall in front of him and this bustling vegetable market.
It is the daily three meals a day and the daily hard work.
Zhang Mingtu ate noodles while chatting with the middle-aged shop owner who was about forty years old.
"Uncle, this is good cooking, but it doesn't look like local flavor."
"Of course not local."
When talking about this, a hint of pride appeared on the middle-aged shop owner's face.
"This is a recipe I got from Shuzhou. Hey, there was a merchant from Shuzhou who got into trouble here. I rescued him from the river, and he specially gave me this recipe as a reward. You know what, his recipe is really good. This chili is fragrant but not spicy, and it's appetizing but not irritating. I've run this shop here for more than three years, and everyone who likes it loves it..."
The middle-aged shop owner is also a talkative person. When he talks about the past, there is a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
But it soon subsided.
“That was a turbulent period.”
Zhang Mingtu whispered. The middle-aged shop owner was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Not really. Being alive is pretty good. How can I say that what I've done is nothing spectacular? I can only say that I'm lucky."
"I was a fisherman in my early years and I'm a decent swimmer. I only saved people when I was sure I could, and I didn't take too many risks. It's a pity for the people in my village. The flood came so fast that many people disappeared with the waves."
