After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

Boss Lu and Boss Hu both felt that Ye Xunqing had something else to say. Although he was indeed introducing their dishes, why did it sound so uncomfortable?

No matter who you are, you don’t want to hear others belittle your hometown, right?

"Hey, Boss Ye, I know the dishes here are very delicious, but you can't be so sure. Maybe there are some very unique delicacies in Mr. An's hometown." Boss Lu tried to smooth things over.

Ye Xunqing acted as if he hadn't heard and continued, "What kind of delicious food could there be in that place? Besides mosquitoes, there are only insects. They can't possibly eat insects, right?"

Yasuda's face looked more and more ugly. Although his hometown was not rich, people there did not eat insects. In their minds, the best food was rice and meat, and only the lowest people would eat such messy things.

"You, shut up!" Yasuda couldn't help but blurt out something in his hometown dialect.

Boss Lu and Boss Hu were startled. "What's wrong, Mr. An? What did you just say?"

The ancient language system is different from the current one, and it is not in the same time and space, so the difference in speech is even greater, but Ye Xunqing can judge what Yasuda said from his expression.

He was probably scolding himself.

"Hey, Mr. Yasuda, were you speaking the Golden Elephant language just now? Why doesn't it sound like that to me?" Ye Xunqing said with a hint of meaning, "Although I'm short-sighted, I've met many foreigners when I followed the prince, and no one from the Golden Elephant language speaks like you..."

Yasuda suddenly felt threatened, "I...I was praising your food, so I got a little excited."

"Oh." Ye Xunqing nodded. "The food has been served. My dear guests, please enjoy your meal!"

He had tested the situation thoroughly and was certain that this person definitely had other motives.

After leaving the private room, Ye Xunqing's expression suddenly turned cold. He whispered, "Try to hold back the guests in this room as much as possible. Don't let them leave, and don't let anyone else in."

The two guards disguised as servants nodded and said, "Yes!"

Ye Xunqing returned to the kitchen where Feng Jingheng was waiting for him.

"Have you confirmed his identity?" Feng Jingheng still held the knife in his hand. "If his identity is confirmed and he is also an assassin, I will kill him now."

Ye Xunqing held down his knife, telling him to calm down. "The current situation is that we've confirmed that the man is definitely suspicious, but we can't say for sure whether he's in the same group as the assassins. Xie Hui's men have already been sent over. Let them handle the rest. We just need to focus on preparing our own dishes."

Feng Jingheng added, "I heard that a lot of Japanese people were arrested in the city these days, but they were all legitimate businessmen or came here to make a living. I didn't find any clues."

"You're stupid! If you were an assassin, would you write the word 'assassin' on your forehead?" Ye Xunqing couldn't help but laugh. "Just wait. Since their target is the Annan Palace, they won't just assassinate them once. But if they really only assassinate them this once, then wouldn't we have less worries?"

"Ah, I'm destined to worry about everything!" Ye Xunqing said, feeling very tired. "What do their affairs have to do with us? As a maid, I feel sorry for my master who has luxurious clothes and delicious food."

Feng Jingheng immediately said, "No, Ah Qing is not their maid. We are just staying with them temporarily. When we have money, we will move out."

"Don't worry, I want to stay there for a while." Ye Xunqing always felt that it was a little unsafe outside. "Let Xiaobai and the others study quietly in the mansion during this period. Don't think about running outside. It's quite dangerous outside."

Feng Jingheng smiled when Ye Xunbai was mentioned. "Xiaobai is very good at studying, and so is Lu Cao. Both gentlemen like them very much."

Ye Xunqing curled his lips and said, "You have to like it even if you don't like it. Old Man Wang's ending is there. If they don't want to pack up and leave, they have to keep their tails between their legs."

Feng Jingheng felt that what he said made sense.

Although Xie Hui released Mr. Wang, he did not stay in Pingzhou City for long. After a few days, he packed up his bags and returned to his hometown. It was said that he wanted to spend his old age there.

After hearing the news, the other two gentlemen in the palace became as obedient as quails. They only focused on teaching and praising people, and no longer said a sarcastic word.

Xie Zhiyan has been much calmer lately and has become more fond of reading. Perhaps it's because no one wants to play with him. Everyone else has things to do, and he's the only one with more free time. After thinking it over, he decided that reading would be a better option.

About an incense stick of time later, one of the guards responsible for monitoring the door of the private room came to the kitchen and reported the situation in the private room to Ye Xunqing.

"Mr. An has been asking about the prince and has been pouring wine for the two businessmen," said the guard.

"Wine?" Ye Xunqing remembered that he served them rice wine, not the strong liquor made from sorghum. "And then? Did they get drunk?"

The guard replied, "Those two businessmen seemed a little drunk. When Mr. An asked them a question just now, they almost answered it. Fortunately, we reacted quickly and knocked on the door in time to interrupt their questioning."

Ye Xunqing nodded. "Okay, your reaction is very good. I will report to the prince. But will rice wine make people drunk?"

"No," the guard said, "they might have brought their own wine. When I pushed the door open, I smelled strong liquor. There might be something else in the wine. It made me feel dizzy."

Ye Xunqing knew that he couldn't let them eat any more. If they continued, those two hospitable and kind-hearted people would spit out all their wealth to outsiders.

"Let's go, Ah Heng." Ye Xunqing called Feng Jingheng together, "Let's go meet Mr. Yasuda again."

Feng Jingheng asked, "Wouldn't it be easier to just take him down directly?"

"Play the long game to catch the big fish, understand?" Ye Xunqing felt that Yasuda was not the mastermind behind the scenes. How could a mastermind walk around outside so brazenly and inquire about Xie Hui so blatantly?

Feng Jingheng understood, "Okay, I'll go with you, and I'll listen to whatever you say."

The two men arrived at the door of the private room and saw Mr. Yasuda about to go out, but another guard stopped him.

"Why didn't you let me go out?" Yasuda was very angry. "People in your country can't drink much. I won't drink with you. Now, I'm going to go drink with my friends..."

"Mr. Yasuda, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Ye Xunqing walked over with a smile. "Is the food in this little shop not to your liking? And why didn't I see the other two bosses come out to see you off?"

When An Tian saw Ye Xunqing, sparks flashed in his eyes, "Humph, their alcohol tolerance is too poor. They passed out after just a few sips."

"Oh, so Mr. Yasuda is planning to leave his drunk friend here and leave alone?" Ye Xunqing said with a tut. "Is this the etiquette of making friends in your country?"
