The fish pond connects the past and present, and the tyrants of the fallen country seek fame every d

Zhang Long's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, but he then smiled again, "Fortunately, the immortal saw through Xiao Yanheng and the others' conspiracy in time, otherwise we would have really thought this was a godsend."

Immortal Bai Ming scoffed, "What immortal? In my opinion, it's just a monster using some tricks to fool the people. Let me go and eliminate the monster!"

Zhang Long nodded hurriedly, "Okay, let's go now."

After saying that, Zhang Long ordered his military advisor to try to sneak into the city.

Faced with Zhang Long's anxiety, the military advisor remained extremely calm.

"General, this matter is quite strange. It is better to observe it carefully before making a decision."

"Do as I say. Xiao Yanheng is endangering the nobles and the princes, attempting to cover up everything. This evil act must be made known to the world."

"But..." The military advisor still had doubts. The pastry was so delicious, how could it be made from corpse oil?

Zhang Long's face was as gloomy as water. "Military Advisor, are you going to betray me too?"

"I dare not. I obey your command." The military advisor quickly agreed and left in a hurry.

Zhang Long showed a sinister smile on his face. Once they knew the truth, they would turn against him and help him enter the city smoothly.

The sun was setting in the west, and Xiao Yanheng was about to return to the palace when suddenly a commotion broke out outside the store.

He and Xiao Lishi went out to check, and saw several fat and gorgeously dressed men standing in front of them. One of them looked particularly familiar - the younger brother of the late emperor, the current Prince of Jin.

The Prince of Jin twirled the ring on his finger and said coldly, "Your Majesty, this is quite a move. We haven't even surrendered yet, yet you're going to kill us. If this news gets out, will you still be able to sit on the throne?"

Xiao Lishi immediately stepped forward, his eyes wide open, staring at the other person with anger.

"Fifteenth Uncle, I think you are confused. Why would my brother attack you?"

King Jin sneered and then cast a disdainful look.

"Why he wants to get rid of us, you have to ask him in person. Xiao Yanheng, oh Xiao Yanheng, you are so cruel, you actually used such disgusting methods to refine oil and then gave it to us to eat, trying to make our souls controlled by others, so that we will obey your orders and hand over all our treasures to you, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanheng frowned.

The eunuch in charge looked worried, "Your Highness, is there something wrong with the cakes?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Xiao Yanheng retorted without thinking, firmly believing in his heart that Su Yuan would not deceive him.

He stepped forward and looked directly at King Jin, causing the latter to quickly lower his head and avoid him.

Prince Jin then spoke again: "We are not to be fooled so easily. Xiao Yanheng, you must give us an explanation today."

"This was a gift from an immortal. If the emperor's uncle didn't like it, why would he buy it again after enjoying it before?" Xiao Yanheng asked back.

The King of Jin was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

Seeing this, another prince interrupted, "We didn't realize it was an evil object at first, but we bought it out of trust in you. Now that the truth is out, we naturally want justice. Your Majesty, surely you can't refuse?"

"That's not an evil thing at all. It was given by an immortal!" Xiao Lishi said angrily.

Facing their doubts, Xiao Lishi put his hands on his hips. The stupidity of these people made him extremely annoyed!

His eyes were red with anger. "Royal brother, please let the immortal appear and prove it to them."

Xiao Yanheng seemed unhurried, his gaze fixed on Prince Jin.

"Uncle, you just said it was an evil creature. Where did that come from? You don't believe me, but you listen to what others say. Are you really worried, uncle, or do you have other motives?"

Faced with this harsh question, the King of Jin quickly defended himself: "How dare I have other thoughts? I am also a person who cherishes my life."

"Does the emperor's uncle feel any discomfort?" Xiao Yanheng asked.

Prince Jin scratched his head and said honestly, "It seems... not."

"That's right. The emperor's uncle didn't feel any discomfort, but he questioned the problems with the things I sold. He blindly believed in other people's rumors and caused trouble. I wonder if the emperor's uncle has ever considered the consequences?" Xiao Yanheng asked again.

Upon hearing this, King Jin's eyes widened, obviously he had never considered this level.

Sensing he might have fallen into someone else's trap, Prince Jin retreated repeatedly, forcing a wry smile. "Your Majesty, I am truly foolish. I will return home to reflect on my actions. For the time being, I will stay at home and will never bother Your Majesty again."

Before he finished speaking, King Jin left in a hurry.

Xiao Lishi had never thought that the seemingly clumsy Prince of Jin could escape so agilely, and he couldn't help but be amused by his funny appearance.

Then, Xiao Lishi turned to the others and asked, "What about you?"

King Liang stood up and said, "Just because you say it's fine, it's fine? What evidence do you have to prove that it wasn't made using that horrible method?"

Xiao Yanheng said calmly, "Our cakes aren't made with human fat, but since King Liang is so sure, you must have solid evidence, right? Why not show it to everyone?"

King Liang was speechless for a moment, his face filled with astonishment. He knew in his heart that he had no evidence at all!

Seeing King Liang standing there in a daze, Xiao Yanheng snorted disdainfully.

This sound was like a gust of cold wind blowing past, causing everyone present to shiver unconsciously, with sweat faintly oozing from their foreheads.

Seeing this, Xiao Lishi shook his head helplessly: "How foolish! You're so happy being used as a pawn?"

"Impossible!" King Liang's eyes widened. "If it weren't for human fat, how could your pastries be so soft?"

Xiao Lishi sneered again, full of sarcasm: "That must be a secret recipe obtained from the gods."

As soon as these words came out, King Liang couldn't help but sneer, pointing his finger at Xiao Yanheng, "That guy is clearly a monster in disguise. The real immortal is with Zhang Long. Those cakes are indeed made with human fat. Immortal Bai Ming said so himself."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Lishi's eyes turned red with anger. After searching everywhere, he picked up a stick from a corner and threatened, "Today I'll let you see the gods!"

"What good things has Mr. Bai Ming done for the people? Where did the rain come from when Wei was suffering from drought? Who arranged those water barrels at the city gates?" Xiao Yanheng asked coldly, leaving King Liang speechless.

King Liang scratched his head and was full of doubts. Could it be that he really was wrong?

Seeing this, Xiao Lishi sneered, "Some fools always think they're incredibly smart. In my opinion, I should crack open your head and see what's inside. Others can fool you with just a few words, but you don't believe the emperor's words. I think you're deliberately looking for trouble!"

"I didn't!" King Liang hurriedly defended himself.

Xiao Lishi laughed even more arrogantly, as if he saw through everything: "You deliberately provoked trouble and spoke for Zhang Long and that fake immortal. You are clearly on Zhang Long's side!"

"No!" King Liang denied it again, but seeing Xiao Yanheng's face becoming more and more gloomy, he couldn't help but feel flustered.

King Liang knelt hurriedly on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you, but I have been deceived. Please understand!"
