Chapter 321: Chapter 163 Dog_3
Chen Shi bowed and said, "I’ve received orders to deliver this big fish to the front courtyard."
"Off you go then." Cao Yunshen waved his hand with a chuckle.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing lifted the big fish and walked outside.
Suddenly, Governor Yan revealed a look of suspicion and said, "Hold on. Weren’t you cooking in the kitchen? Why send it to the front courtyard?"
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing stopped in their tracks and glanced at Black Pot.
The Black Pot strove hard to influence Governor Yan’s cognition; Governor Yan’s expression became dazed for a moment, then he laughed and said, "I see. You may proceed."
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing said nothing, yet he seemed to have heard an explanation from them.
The two hurriedly left the kitchen, with Black Pot, exhausted, barely keeping up with them.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing slowed their pace, when a voice from Cao Yunshen came from the direction of the kitchen: "Although my Cao Elder Association monopolizes the Min River, this Demon Transformation won’t spare us for long. Our fish catch, besides satisfying the disciples of the association, also need to be offered to all the dignitaries, which will deplete our resources."
Fei Tianzheng’s voice came through, asking, "Can the Old Lady of the Min River be eaten?"
Chen Shi’s eyes widened in shock; the Old Lady of the Min River was the deity worshipped by the Cao Elder Association, and it was due to her that they could establish themselves on the Min River!
Fei Tianzheng was actually suggesting to eat the Old Lady of the Min River, was he not afraid of the rebellion of the Cao Elder Association?
Cao Yunshen laughed and said, "Governor, the Blood Taisui of Red Mountain Hall tastes even better than the Old Lady of the Min River."
Everyone burst out laughing, voicing in unison: "We want to eat the Blood Taisui, and also the Old Lady of the Min River."
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing felt a jolt in their hearts. Noticing Chen Shi had slowed down, Li Tianqing hastily whispered urgently, "Little Ten, move quickly!"
Chen Shi shook his head, deciding to stop and said, "These dozen or so dignitaries didn’t come to the Cao Elder Association for a feast but for a coup. Let’s listen and see how the association responds."
Li Tianqing had no choice but to stop, and the two leaned in to listen carefully.
Cao Yunshen’s voice came from the kitchen, pleading, "My lords, the granny is a carp dragon who has cultivated for over a thousand years. Her cultivation has not been easy! When I was a child, starving by the riverbank, it was granny who emerged from the water and gave me the river’s bounty. Our village worships her every year, she’s like our godmother, our deity..."
"Master Cao, remember that your Cao Elder Association is supported by the government office," said Fei Tianzheng, Governor Fei’s voice came through, "I bolstered your control over the water transport, giving you so many benefits? How many disasters did I shield you from? Now, at this critical juncture, it’s time for your association to repay my cultivation."
"But granny is the godmother of my Cao Elder Association, our lifesaver, our deity..." Cao Yunshen responded.
"The Cao Elder Association is nothing but a minor faction," General Xia said with a dismissive laugh. "Master Cao, what right do you have to bargain with us?"
Cao Yunshen fell silent, and after a moment, he said, "You are right, my lords. I will surely offer up granny for you all to savor."
Footsteps approached, and Chen Shi and Li Tianqing quickly lifted the big fish, ready to leave when suddenly Cao Yunshen’s voice boomed thunderously, making their ear drums buzz, "Granny, run! Brothers, quickly open the sluice gates!"
"Boom!"
A loud explosion sounded; Chen Shi turned to look back, only to see buildings cracking and collapsing, Cao Yunshen spewing blood, tumbling towards them and crashing to the ground, his bones shattered and fragments piercing through his chest, perforating his heart.
"Granny, run..."
He tried to prop himself up, attempting to crawl, but at that moment, a foot stepped on his head, pinning him to the ground.
Fei Tianzheng stood furiously, pressing Cao Yunshen’s head into the mud, saying sharply, "The dog I raised has actually betrayed me!"
His eyes coldly swept towards Chen Shi and Li Tianqing; Black Pot hurriedly stepped in front of Chen Shi, locking eyes with him.
Fei Tianzheng averted his gaze and turned to leave, laughing, "Gentlemen, this dog has been executed. Let’s go to the feast; the meal is ready."
