I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2219 Fishing
Liu Jun and his friends followed the waiter's gaze, crossed the narrow alley, and saw a majestic restaurant standing in front of them.

The restaurant was brightly lit, six stories high, with carved beams and painted buildings, and was magnificent, like a bright pearl inlaid on a bustling street. Two big red lanterns were hung at the door of the restaurant, swaying gently in the wind, adding a bit of festive atmosphere.

Two waiters in uniform were standing at the door. They noticed the chubby waiter in front of Liu Jun, their eyes lit up instantly, and they trotted over to him with warm smiles on their faces.

"Brother Mi, you're finally back!" The two waiters greeted him warmly, their tone full of respect and kindness.

"Hurry, send the guests' horses to the backyard and settle them down. These are all distinguished guests, make sure they are not targeted by anyone." ordered the chubby waiter known as Mi Ge.

Hearing this, the two waiters immediately responded, turned around and walked towards the war horses led by Liu Jun and the others, and carefully took the reins.

"Dear guests, please dismount and come in." The chubby waiter turned to look at Liu Jun and the others, bowed slightly, his face full of smiles, his attitude respectful and enthusiastic.

Seeing this, Liu Jun smiled and was the first to jump off the dragon, his movements were graceful and neat. Xu Baoer followed closely behind, also jumping off the pig lightly. The two stood side by side, their temperaments were outstanding, and the two waiters were stunned.

"What are you standing there in a daze for? Hurry up!" The chubby waiter kicked one of the waiters who was in a daze. The waiter was startled and came to his senses suddenly. Together with his companions, he hurriedly took the reins of the two exotic beasts, the Dragon Tie and the Pink Pig, and led them to the backyard of the restaurant.

Longtie and Pink Pig were quite intelligent. They seemed to sense the nervousness of the waiters and behaved particularly well, following them obediently to the backyard.

The 駅 that Yao Guangxiao rode was larger than the ordinary 駅 and looked even more unique. It was not towed by a rope, but followed the two strange beasts on its own, walking leisurely and contentedly towards the backyard. The 駅 had a unique fur color and an extraordinary aura, which attracted the attention of people around.

As for the tigers, monkeys and those armor-clad, menacing guards, because they were too conspicuous, they found places to camp long before entering the city.

Otherwise, with the cold murderous aura emanating from those guards and the cold light reflected by their armor, even if the soldiers at the city gate had ten times the courage, they would not dare to rashly block the way of Liu Jun and his group.

Liu Jun, who was walking in front, turned to look at the chubby waiter beside him and asked with a smile: "I haven't asked you on the way here yet, what should I call you?"

"Ah, just call me Milo." The chubby waiter bowed quickly, his tone full of respect.

His face was full of smiles, and he seemed to be extremely honored to serve a distinguished guest like Liu Jun.

After Milo finished speaking, he led Liu Jun and his party through the bustling lobby and walked towards the depths of the Haoyue Restaurant. Along the way, they passed by the gorgeously decorated private rooms and the bustling banquet hall, and finally came to a quiet and elegant courtyard. This place was far away from the hustle and bustle, with only the occasional sound of stringed instruments, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Liu Jun nodded with satisfaction, approving of Milo's arrangement. They followed Milo into the courtyard, where green trees and fragrant flowers filled the air, as if it were a fairyland isolated from the world.

"Dear guest, please take a look. This is the menu. It lists all the special dishes of our restaurant. Feel free to order whatever you want. If there is something not on the menu, you can also ask for it and I will try my best to prepare it for you." Milo said respectfully with a smile on his face, his tone revealing his eager anticipation for the distinguished guest.

Liu Jun took the menu, gently opened it, and let his eyes wander over the various dishes. He then put the menu on the table, frowning slightly, as if he had something to say.

"Dear guest, do you have any questions?" Milo was stunned when he saw Liu Jun's strange expression, and then asked respectfully.

Liu Jun raised his head and looked directly at Milo: "Your Haoyue Restaurant is in a very conspicuous location. It should be easy to get there by walking in a straight line from the city gate. Why did you take us through the streets and alleys and take such a long detour?"

Milo's expression changed slightly when he heard this. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke: "My dear guest, your mounts are really too eye-catching. Especially the 鲥. Although I don't recognize your mount, I am familiar with 鲥 as an exotic animal."

Liu Jun understood immediately after hearing this. He looked out the window, where their mounts were, one of which was a 駿, and it was a leader. Its majestic body and unique pattern were indeed eye-catching.

"You mean, because this horse and other mounts are too conspicuous, if we walk all the way from the city gate to here, we will always attract attention and be targeted by those with ulterior motives?" Liu Jun asked with a frown.

Milo nodded, his expression solemn. "That's right. My dear guest, why do you think those soldiers at the city gate suddenly picked a fight with you? It's because your mounts were too eye-catching and aroused their greed. If you really walked all the way from the city gate, I'm afraid such extortion incidents would continue to happen."

Liu Jun couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this. He didn't expect that just because his mount was too conspicuous, he would cause so much trouble.

He never expected that the peaceful and prosperous world he thought of had such a dark side so close to the God King City.

"Will there be other people in this city who will come and blackmail us?" Liu Jun frowned again, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone. Milo sighed and shook his head helplessly: "This city is full of good and bad people. Since you have attracted attention, I'm afraid you will have to be more careful in the next period of time."

"You go out and serve the dishes first. Bring all the above." Liu Jun casually pointed to the menu spread out on the table with an unquestionable smile on his face.

Milo was stunned when he heard this. He quickly scanned the complicated menu and was secretly shocked.

There are at least one or two hundred dishes listed on the menu, with all kinds of delicacies. If all of them were to be served according to the guests' requests, I'm afraid this spacious dining table would not be able to accommodate them all.

"Dear guest, these... could you please take a closer look, maybe you can order less?" Milo reminded cautiously, with a hint of tentativeness and concern in his words.

Liu Jun smiled lightly, as if he didn't take Milo's worries to heart.

"What? Are you afraid that you can't pay?" As he spoke, Liu Jun casually took out a top-grade spirit stone that was flickering with a faint light from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table. The spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the spirit stone shook the surrounding air.

Milo gasped when he saw this, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He waved his hands hastily, saying, "Dear guest, don't do this, don't do this! You can pay the bill when you leave. Our restaurant has an excellent reputation, you can rest assured."

Liu Jun nodded slightly, with a heroic tone: "Okay, go and serve the dishes. I'm looking forward to tasting your delicious food."

Milo responded and turned to walk towards the door. However, after taking a few steps, he stopped again and hesitated for a few seconds, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he mustered up the courage, turned around, and whispered to Liu Jun: "Dear guest, please say a few words. Your top-grade spirit stone can easily cause unnecessary trouble. Please don't let others see it."

Liu Jun frowned slightly when he heard this, as if he realized something, and then nodded gently to show that he understood: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Milo then left with peace of mind, secretly thanking himself for reminding him. You know, in this turbulent world of Gods, the prices of various spirit stones have already risen sharply, especially this kind of top-grade spirit stone, which is extremely scarce and has no market.

Now the entire divine world has entered a state of war readiness, and the competition for resources is becoming increasingly fierce. A top-grade spirit stone is enough to arouse the greed and covetousness of countless people.

Liu Jun, this seemingly casual guest, so easily took out a top-grade spirit stone as meal expenses, which undoubtedly made Milo more curious and speculative about his identity and origin. But no matter what, Milo understood that he only needed to do his job well and provide the most thoughtful service to this guest.

"Brother, aren't you going to put it away?" Xu Baoer blinked her big curious eyes and pointed at the top-grade spirit stone on the table that was emitting a faint luster, with a hint of confusion and surprise in her tone.

This spiritual stone is crystal clear and seems to contain infinite power. Although it has no appeal to her, she also knows its value.

Liu Jun smiled lightly, with a certain light flashing in his eyes, and said leisurely: "No, let it go and catch some fish."

There was a hint of amusement in his tone, and it was obvious that he had something in mind.

Xu Baoer and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other. Both of them were smart people, and they knew what Liu Jun meant by "fishing" as soon as they heard it.

Liu Jun is the Platinum God King and has many officials under his rule, so it is inevitable that there will be a few people with evil intentions.

For example, there are several in Hezhou City. However, how to lure these fish hidden under the water out of the water requires some clever layout and strategy.

At this time, the house was bustling with activity, and all kinds of delicious food were continuously served, with aromas everywhere, making people salivate. The waiters who were in charge of serving the food couldn't help but slow down their pace when passing by Liu Jun's table, and their eyes were involuntarily attracted by the top-grade spiritual stone on the table.

The expressions in their eyes were different. Some showed envy, wishing they could own such precious treasures; some were full of jealousy, secretly cursing the unfairness of fate; and some were nakedly greedy, with a desire for and possession of the spirit stones flashing in their eyes.

When Milo walked into the restaurant again and saw that the top-grade spirit stone was still lying safely on the table, his heart skipped a beat and he thought something was not good.

He hurriedly said hello to Liu Jun and the others, and then hurried out. After a while, he found the waiters who had just delivered the food, and gave them a gag order with a serious look, warning them not to disclose the matter.

Milo knew that if such a treasure were known to outsiders, it would definitely cause an uproar and might even bring disaster to the Haoyue Restaurant. Therefore, he had to act cautiously to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

Liu Jun and his friends continued to enjoy the food and wine, seemingly oblivious to everything around them. However, they had already made up their minds, waiting for the fish to take the bait, and then they would let these big fish know what the law is.
