The three of them saluted, but the old Duke didn't care and waved his hands casually.
"Come on, it's not like we're in the house. Why are you saluting? The same goes for you two little kids. I'm here to buy things, so of course I'm a customer. Why are you curing me? Are you afraid that I won't give you the money?"
Immediately afterwards, the old Duke thought of business and said to Ji Kai
"You little kid is interesting. Why do you want to sell some meat in a limited quantity? When Lao Su came to ask you, he agreed straight away, saying that you, a little kid, please me, but you resisted when I invited you to a banquet. Why is that?"
Ji Kai smiled and said
"I sell it in limited quantities for no other reason than because I raise this beast at home, butcher it myself and sell it. If there was no limit, I wouldn't be able to do anything for the day, even being a butcher."
Then he said
"As for the Duke's desire to buy a large amount of meat, I would naturally agree to it. If it were someone else, I would consider it, just because the Duke has always had a distinguished reputation and has protected the people of the Xueqin Empire to live and work in peace and contentment without any rumors of bullying the common people. "
"Haha, you little kid is really interesting. I'm not a good person, but I just like eating and drinking. It's so much fun to bully civilians. Only a bunch of losers would do such a shameless thing. If I want to bully, I'm also bullying the empire. army."
After hearing this, the old Duke laughed again, and then said sarcastically
"As for the banquet, I'd better not go. I'm a commoner at the Duke's banquet. If I go there, it's inevitable that some people will gossip about me and say I'm flattering, etc. It will only make it more annoying."
Ji Kai waited for the old Duke to finish laughing and then explained.
"Little doll, I just said that you are interesting, but you think like those losers. You can go if I tell you to. Anyone who dares to be nagging will be chopped with a sword."
After hearing this, the old Duke was furious. This old Duke was really overbearing and would kill him at every turn.
Ji Kai was also amused after hearing this. He had no thoughts of being a monarch, a minister or a commoner, he just didn't want to cause trouble.
As for the salute to the Duke, he was sincere. As he said, the old Duke was upright and honest, and had fought in wars all his life, but he had never heard of rumors that the Duke's palace oppressed the common people. Based on this, Ji Kai was willing to salute him.
However, since the Duke has spoken, any further refusal would be asking for trouble, and Ji Kai really wants to go, not for anything else but to see Princess Xueling.
So, Ji Kai stopped refusing and said yes, and then asked
"I don't know how much meat is needed. My meat is fresh and the most delicious. I will deliver it to your door. I'm afraid that it will be too late to slaughter it by then, so I plan to deliver it early."
"You deliver the goods to your door? Little baby, my Duke's Palace holds a banquet. It's not just a few pieces of meat or a few dishes. It's about nearly a hundred ministers, as well as the soldiers who have followed me for many years. There are even some who heard the news. The flies that come here are not even enough for a pound of meat."
The old duke really didn't believe it. He came here for the same purpose as the old steward, but he planned to send someone to pick up the meat after the negotiation was completed. As for the taste getting worse after being left for a long time, in the old duke's opinion, it was almost better than other meats.
When Ji Kai heard the old Duke's question, he smiled and did not open his mouth to explain. Instead, he pointed to the side. In an instant, a water arrow rabbit appeared in front of several people.
When the old duke saw it, he burst into laughter and said
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that the little baby is actually a summoner. However, little baby, I need at least two thousand kilograms of meat to hold a banquet, and I also need the black-spotted snake meat with blue stripes. Speaking of which, the taste is better than All the Tyrannosaurus I've tasted before are better."
Ji Kai smiled slightly and said to the old Duke
"Please don't worry, sir. I promise to deliver it to your house in no time at all. It's just..."
When the old Duke heard this, he frowned in disgust and asked.
"Just what?"
Ji Kai acted as if he hadn't seen it and spoke.
"It's just that I'm afraid that the people in the house will be too busy by then. You must know that my blue-striped and black-spotted python is different from others. It is not poisonous and has no magic, but it is extremely powerful and long and strong."
When the old Duke heard this, he knew that he had blamed the wrong person, but since no one knew, there was no need to make it public, so he opened his mouth and said
"Don't worry, little one, there are more than a hundred No. 10 guards in my Duke's palace, all of them are good soldiers who came down from the battlefield with me on my expeditions to the north and south. They just killed a few snakes."
Ji Kai didn't refute what he said, he just reminded him
"Your Majesty Duke, please continue. This snake is different from other monsters. After the snake is decapitated, the snake head will still attack people for a period of time. In other words, you need to find a place big enough to place the snake head.
, in case some guests don’t pay attention and get hurt.”
When the old steward heard this, he couldn't help but ask
"This is strange. After all these years, I have never heard that this snake-like monster would take revenge on humans after death. Is Boss Ji kidding?"
But the old Duke took advantage of Kai and said:
"This is true. I have been walking for many years and have set up camp in the forest not once or twice. I heard the soldiers said that sometimes the snake will not die even if its head is cut off. If it is touched slightly, it will jump up and bite humans, or
It’s spitting out the letter.”
As he spoke, the old Duke touched his beard, turned to Ji Kai and asked
"Back then, we paid attention to and fought the war, but later we put this matter behind us. But now that I think about it, it is very strange. Could it be that the legendary demons and undead people did it?"
Ji Kai smiled and replied
"That's not the case, but the brain of this snake-like monster is particularly small compared to other monsters. Therefore, after the snake dies, the body's instincts have not completely disappeared. If you touch it at this time, it will form a conditioned reflex and jump.
Attack someone, or stick out your tongue."
After Ji Kai finished speaking, he found that everyone in the room, including bodyguard He Li, was staring at him, with questions flashing in their eyes. Ji Kai smiled again and said
"Just like humans, if their legs are hit by someone, they will move uncontrollably. The snake's head jumps for the same reason."
"I see, the little doll knows quite a lot."
Hearing Ji Kai's answer, the old Duke suddenly realized, then he thought about it and said to Ji Kai
"Don't worry, I will ask someone to find someone to place the blue-striped and black-spotted python. As for being injured by these things, haha~~ Little baby, you look down on the guards in my house too much. The time is three days later, when I
Send someone to pick you up."
Ji Kai responded immediately and sent the Duke's master and servant away.
Ji Kai finally calmed down and began to think about his next plan.
