Chapter 97: Cooking in the World of Fireworks

"Why?" Hei Bai Xuan Jian asked. Ying Zifei said, "Ju Xing did die in battle, and he should be held responsible."

"But how did Yan Dan handle it? He condoned and even fueled the situation, causing Ju Xing to bear the brunt of everything after his death."

"How can someone with great talent not understand Yan Dan's thoughts?"

Ying Zifei looked at him leisurely and sneered, "Courage and mind are what every king and every prince is judged by."

“Responsibility is the most intuitive way to certify this kind of evaluation.”

"If Yan Dan dares to stand up and take some responsibility this time, and say a few good words for the deceased Ju Xing, it will be a manifestation of courage and broad-mindedness."

"So what if it will anger the King of Yan? The war has turned out this way. No matter how much we put the blame on the dead Ju Xing, it cannot change the fact that there was a problem with the King of Yan's appointment."

"But in order to avoid taking the blame, Yan Dan let the deceased Ju Xing take the blame. Tell me, would you dare to work for such a person?"

Hei Bai Xuan Jian shook his head after thinking about it. If he really had to work for such a irresponsible person, he would be worried about being betrayed all the time.

"Being a boss requires not only clear rewards and punishments, but also the ability to take on responsibilities." Ying Zifei laughed and said, "It is said that it is easy to share wealth, but difficult to share adversity. Yan Dan has already lost points."

Hei Bai Xuan Jian nodded slightly. Even if a servant died for his master, the master would still take care of his family to show favor and win people's hearts. This time, Yan Dan allowed Ju Xing's family to leave Yan State in embarrassment, which was indeed a serious loss of points.

"You said no one reminded him?" Hei Bai Xuan Jian became curious. Yan Dan was able to gather the Mohist knights, which showed that he was very capable. Such a person should have a very sharp reaction.

"Maybe." Ying Zifei shook his head and smiled, saying: "But within the Yan Kingdom, whether it is the King of Yan or the various factions, they all need an obedient Crown Prince of Yan."

"By selling out Ju Xing this time, Yan Dan also gained a lot of benefits, because no matter whether it is the King of Yan or Yan Chunjun and others, they must let Ju Xing take responsibility in order to obtain the greatest political benefits after the end of this war."

"Perhaps for Yan Dan, solving his current dilemma is what he really wants."

……

"Do you still think he is qualified?" In a small courtyard, after obtaining the God-Bewitching Gu, the old man's old injuries have healed. Now he has a youthful face and white hair, and his aura is even greater than before.

"Are you making fun of me?" The Six-Fingered Black Knight was a little depressed. He inexplicably thought of what the person in charge of the stronghold said that day, that Yan Dan was too utilitarian.

"Old man, just think of it as me making fun of you." The old man shook his head and sighed, and then said: "How can the means of small favors and small favors be compared with the people with deep hearts."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight knew that he was talking about Yan Dan, but he couldn't refute it. Everyone said that Yan Dan was forced by the situation, but his gentlemanly yet ungentlemanly, despicable yet not despicable means were really disappointing.

Rubbing his forehead, the Six-Fingered Black Knight said, "You can't deny his experience and his situation just because of some things."

The old man narrowed his eyes, then laughed and said, "I admit that this is a fact, but my friend, his opponent is probably quite happy now."

Six-Fingered Black Knight: ...

He was speechless for a moment. Yan Dan's performance this time really lost points. When making choices, he focused on small gains and forgot about the greater good.

"My old friend, compared to him, I am more optimistic about Gongsun Li and Jing Ke."

"One is gifted in martial arts, the other is wise and thoughtful."

Hearing this, the Six-Fingered Black Knight still shook his head and said to his old friend: "It's different. Yan Dan's identity means that he is destined to be more suitable for doing certain things in the future."

The old man took a deep look at the Six-Fingered Black Knight. As expected, the leaders of the various schools of thought have a lot of twists and turns in their minds.

"Forget it, I won't get involved. I'm going to travel around the world tomorrow. See you again if we're lucky."

The old man said, smiling, "I have forgotten my original name. How about you call me Pao Ding?" The six-fingered black knight smiled and then teased, "Why not Yi Ya?"

"His reputation is too bad, it's better to call him Pao Ding." The old man shook his head and said helplessly: "That guy left a mark in history books, but he made life difficult for us chefs."

"I'd better take the name of Butcher Ding. I can still show off my skills of butchering a cow."

The six-fingered black knight shook his head and laughed, then said: "Are you really not considering rebuilding the Cooking Alliance? Now even the medical professionals have formed an alliance, and it is flourishing."

"Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, birth, aging, illness and death, you have one of the ways of life, "food", it would be a pity if you don't make a fuss about it."

When the old man heard this, there were reminiscences in his eyes, but he was in hesitation. All he had learned and done in his life was cooking.

It was through enlightenment that he gained his current strength. However, when the Kitchen Alliance lost control, he was unable to resolve the problem, which still makes him feel frightened whenever he thinks about it now.

Seeing him hesitate, the Six-Fingered Black Knight said again: "You shouldn't give up. The desire for food is also the desire of human beings."

"As for your concern about the recurrence of what happened back then, there is no need to worry. Your current strength is already able to solve most problems."

The old man was moved, and the Six-Fingered Black Knight enlightened him that with his current strength, he could really solve most of the problems.

"Cooperate with the Mohist School. With the power of the Mohist School, we can help you solve some hidden dangers." The Six-Fingered Black Knight wanted to pull the old man on board. With their level of strength, it is not easy to achieve enlightenment. With such a loyal ally, he, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, can deal with some problems more calmly.

The old man knew what Six-Fingered Black Knight was thinking. He laughed and shook his head, saying, "Forget it. There are too many secrets hidden in your Mohist Mechanical City. The people of Yin-Yang School have made things difficult for you. I don't want to cause you trouble from time to time."

After being rejected, the Six-Fingered Black Knight was not disappointed, and said: "Then what are you going to do? The consumption of manpower and material resources is not something that an old poor guy like you can handle."

"Hehe, there is someone who will definitely be willing to cooperate with me." The old man said with a gleam in his eyes. The six-fingered black man reacted quickly and said speechlessly: "You don't want to go find Ying Zifei, do you?"

"Is it not possible?" the old man asked back, and said with a smile: "The manpower and material resources controlled by that kid, as long as he lets go of a little bit, I can build the framework."

"He is one of the sources of trouble." Six-fingered Black Knight said slowly, reminding his old friend: "That guy is evil-minded. If you can get ten gold from him, he will definitely use you to make hundreds or thousands of gold back."

"It is because he is one of the sources of trouble that I want to cooperate with him." The old man said leisurely, "It is true that getting close to trouble will cause trouble, but it is precisely because you are close that you can quickly sort out the clues."

"Isn't the key to solving a problem to find the key to the problem? My sword can still cut off a lot of troubles."

The six-fingered black knight was thoughtful, and soon he thought of something and said, "Are you so sure that the boy is not interested in those secrets?"

The old man understood the sudden question and said, "Do you know what I saw when that boy severely injured Yan Dan in the bamboo forest?"

"What?" Six-fingered Black Knight asked seriously. The old man smiled and said, "I have seen the power of luck."

"The power of luck?" Six-fingered Black Knight frowned and asked in confusion: "Is there anything strange about this? He has luck, otherwise how could he be one of the sources of trouble."

"Haha, the fortune I'm talking about is not the situation of heaven and earth, but human power." The old man's eyes flashed, and he said word by word: "That kind of situation and power is what people think and wish for in the future."

"Looking back now, I am absolutely certain that the power that boy pursued came from all living things. He rose from a height and looked down upon the world."

The six-fingered black hero widened his eyes, thinking of the conversation he had with Ying Zifei. He couldn't believe it and said, "This is impossible. If so, it must be the power of the will of all living beings. How dare he have such a heart?"

His breathing became faster, and the Six-Fingered Black Knight stared at his old friend, hoping to get an answer.

The old man said leisurely: "How could I be wrong, old friend, have you forgotten that the truth I have learned is the truth of cooking?"

"The art of cooking places the greatest emphasis on the human touch. How could I be wrong in this regard?"
