It was a long while before the crowd snapped back to reality, their gazes fixed on the pot, drooling at the mouth!
Even Ma Lantu, who had tasted all the delicacies in the world, couldn't sit still. He took a deep breath, eager to know what the Qiankun Great Nourishing Soup tasted like.
"Come, try it!"
Jiang Yi served a bowl to Ma Lantu.
Ma Lantu eagerly began to taste it, his face filled with enjoyment.
The crowd kept swallowing.
"This is the cuisine of Huaxia. The taste is simply divine. I've eaten many delicacies, but compared to this, they are utterly insignificant!"
Ma Lantu praised it endlessly.
"You all want to try?"
Jiang Yi scanned the crowd.
Hearing this, everyone wiped their mouths and crowded around.
The pot of soup wasn't large, only about five or six bowls. To ensure everyone could have a taste, Jiang Yi put only a small portion into each bowl.
The crowd almost came to blows fighting over a bowl of soup.
"It's too delicious, truly a delicacy from heaven. I've never tasted such delicious soup before!"
"If I could drink to my heart's content, I could drink ten bowls!"
"Today, I've finally seen what true heavenly delicacy is. I've gained great insight!"
...
Everyone also praised it profusely.
Even the hotel manager, after drinking it, felt that the so-called delicacies in his hotel were not delicacies at all.
After a long while, the crowd gradually dispersed.
"Mr. Jiang, I never expected you to possess not only such miraculous medical skills but also to be a hidden top-tier divine chef. If we were to cooperate and open a restaurant, we'd probably be able to make a fortune lying down!"
Ma Lantu immediately thought of making money.
"I have no interest in opening a restaurant!"
Jiang Yi shrugged.
"Don't forget what you promised earlier, to invite the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture to preside over the Yangjiang Conference tomorrow."
Hearing this, Ma Lantu's face immediately showed a worried expression.
Although Ma Lantu was the wealthiest man in the Four Prefectures, inviting the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture was not an easy task.
After all, the Grand Lord was no ordinary person; he was a hegemon of a region, not someone who could be easily invited.
Moreover, Ma Lantu had no connections with the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture.
"If it's too difficult for you, then forget it!"
Jiang Yi said.
"I don't have a full grasp of being able to invite the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture, but I will do my best to invite him!"
Ma Lantu said.
Jiang Yi smiled and said nothing.
Judging by Ma Lantu's expression, it seemed difficult to invite the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture.
Since it had come to this, Jiang Yi felt it was inappropriate to stop him.
If Ma Lantu could invite him, it would undoubtedly be a good thing.
If he couldn't, it wouldn't matter either.
"Beep beep..."
Jiang Yi's phone suddenly rang. He opened it to see that it was Chen Kun calling.
"Is there something?"
Jiang Yi answered the phone.
"Big Brother, I received news that Jiang Wanli has sent people to Dongmeng Prefecture!"
"I find it very strange. Jiang Wanli should be sending people to Ximeng Prefecture to rescue people, but he's directly sent people to Dongmeng Prefecture. I'm worried that Jiang Wanli's people are targeting you!"
Chen Kun's tone on the other end of the phone sounded very grave.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi sneered.
He actually hoped that Jiang Wanli's people were coming for him, because then he could catch Jiang Wanli red-handed!
"Is there anything else?"
Jiang Yi asked.
"Just now, Prince Ma Xiu sent someone to invite Miss Dongfang to the Grand Lord's mansion. He said that you treated Prince Ma Xiu, and Prince Ma Xiu wants to reward you handsomely. Since you weren't there, he invited Miss Dongfang over!"
Chen Kun said on the phone.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi's brow immediately furrowed.
Although Prince Ma Xiu would not do anything to Dongfang Mei, Jiang Yi was still somewhat uneasy.
Prince Ma Xiu deliberately summoned Dongfang Mei, most likely because he had set his sights on her.
If he didn't obey Prince Ma Xiu's orders in the future, Dongfang Mei would be in danger at any time.
"Go find Grand Lord Bary, and ask him to please take good care of Dongfang Mei for me!"
Jiang Yi said.
"Okay, I'll go find Grand Lord Bary!"
Chen Kun said on the phone.
Jiang Yi said nothing more and hung up the phone.
Not long after, Chen Kun sent over the information of Jiang Wanli's subordinate.
This person was named Kuitian Chuan, a native of Kou Country, who had worked in Ying Country for over twenty years and was an expert on Ying Country.
He was also familiar with the Huaxia language and was one of Jiang Wanli's most capable subordinates.
Just by looking at the photo, one could tell that Kuitian Chuan was not a good person.
Jiang Yi had not expected Jiang Wanli to use someone from Kou Country to deal with him.
Jiang Yi would not show mercy to the people of Kou Country.
There was another matter that puzzled Jiang Yi.
Logically speaking, Kuitian Chuan was Jiang Wanli's most capable subordinate, and his identity should have been confidential. Chen Kun should not have obtained such detailed information.
Jiang Yi was very curious about how Chen Kun had managed it.
Suddenly, Jiang Yi remembered two people: Du Yue and Ike.
Chen Kun might have captured them and learned about this from them.
This was the only explanation, and the most reasonable one.
He would be able to figure out what was going on when he returned to Ximeng Prefecture.
"Mr. Jiang, what's wrong? Did something happen in Ximeng Prefecture?"
Ma Lantu asked curiously.
"It's nothing, just a small matter, nothing major!"
Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, Ma Lantu didn't ask further.
Jiang Yi couldn't explain the matters of the Jiang family to Ma Lantu.
Moreover, there was no need to tell Ma Lantu, it would be a waste of breath.
"Mr. Jiang, I won't accompany you. I'm going to invite the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture."
Ma Lantu got up and said.
After that, Ma Lantu left the hotel.
Jiang Yi didn't linger in the lobby either. He got up and returned to his hotel room.
Perhaps he was too tired. After taking a shower, Jiang Yi lay down on the hotel bed and fell asleep immediately.
After an unknown period of time, Jiang Yi was woken up by the sound of a door opening.
Jiang Yi didn't get up, but continued to lie on the bed pretending to be asleep.
Jiang Yi wanted to see who it was that had barged into his room in the middle of the night!
Not long after, footsteps began to approach.
The person who entered was a woman wearing a tight-fitting outfit and holding a dagger.
She exuded a chilling aura, and her eyes were filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.
It was clear that she was a female assassin.
Judging by the dagger the female assassin was using, she was also a female assassin from Kou Country.
This was because only female assassins from Kou Country liked to use such daggers, which were as thin as cicada wings and had a hook.
This type of dagger was extremely sharp and emitted a greenish glow, clearly indicating that it was coated with potent poison.
The female assassin glanced at Jiang Yi, then directly thrust the dagger towards his throat.
Her speed was incredibly fast, and her movements were clean and precise.
