Demon hunter's Cooking Manual-Chapter 1323 - 48 Imitation

The events told by the city guards were all too familiar to Jason and Dou Bao.

It was a complete replica of Jason’s encounter with Li Deshang in ’Mountain City’.

Jason and Dou Bao exchanged a glance but didn’t speak, quietly driving through the city gate.

Encountering such a thing right after entering Zhoufu, both felt a sense of bizarreness.

After leaving the city gate, Dou Bao looked at Jason, still expressionless, and quickly directed the carriage towards an inn by the roadside.

This isn’t the time for inquiries; it’s best to find a resting place and discuss strategies thoroughly.

This inn was right near the city gate.

"Sir, this courtyard is absolutely quiet."

"You can put horses in the courtyard too. We have excellent feed. Would you like me to arrange some for you?"

"If you want to eat, just come into the inn."

A clever attendant led Jason and two others into the backyard of the inn.

The yard was separated from the inn by a wall.

But it was missing the hustle and bustle of the street.

It had the unique tranquility of an alley, and the beds and rooms were very clean. There was no clutter in the yard, and there was plenty of space for horses and carriages.

Jason nodded in satisfaction.

Dou Bao immediately took out a corner money note and handed it to the attendant.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, lady."

"Feel free to call me if you need anything."

The attendant’s smile grew wider after receiving the tip.

Save when you should.

Spend when you should.

Dou Bao knew this well.

Sometimes saving a little can lead to spending a lot.

Yet, at other times, spending a little can save a lot.

Like in this instance.

"Attendant, where’s the mule market?"

"And when we just entered the city, why was the inspection so strict?"

Dou Bao asked.

"You mean the mule market?"

"It’s not far from us on the main street. You can see it if you turn a corner. There is also a market nearby, much cheaper than the usual shops, but it’s best to go with a local because people there are not honest."

"Why is passing through the city gate so strict?"

"Isn’t it because of the thief? And it’s a reckless flying thief. All four blue-clad arrest officers in the city were killed, leaving a group of yellow-clad constables and non-graded constables clueless on what to do. The honorable official has already posted a notice, saying he’s looking to hire a few skilled martial arts experts for his children. But everyone knows the real details."

Dou Bao’s subsequent questions were answered thoroughly and honestly.

Soon, after the attendant left, Jason already knew the ins and outs of the situation.

At this moment, he confirmed that what was happening in the Fucheng was essentially a replica of his encounter with Gousheng bro, although the characters changed, the whole event remained the same.

’Is someone targeting me?’

Jason almost unconsciously thought.

Everything before him was too coincidental.

So much so that Jason couldn’t help but think more.

’Who could it be?’

’’Transmigration Cult’?’

’Or ’Si Hai Bang’?’ ’

Jason thought about the two forces in this replica world which had adversarial ties with him.

Meanwhile, Cui Long quietly queried Dou Bao. Upon hearing the details of the previous events, the heir of the ’Si Hai Bang’ promptly remarked, "There are no people in ’Si Hai Bang’ who act like this."

"At least none that I’m aware of."

After these words, Cui Long felt unsure and added another sentence.

"Mm." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Just follow the plan we arranged before."

"Dou Bao, go sell those ten war horses and then replenish the supplies."

Jason nodded as he spoke.

Although it was just three days, the supplies for the three of them had been completely consumed.

Especially the condiments were practically depleted.

It was naturally time for a restock.

"Miss Cui, please go with Dou Bao."

After a pause, Jason said.

"Understood!"

Cui Long nodded decisively.

In the current uncertain situation, it was best to clear things up. Whether the ’Transmigration Cult’ or ’Si Hai Bang’, they were here for one of the three.

Especially someone like her, an Alchemist.

She naturally attracted people’s attention.

If she showed up, she would undoubtedly draw the opponent’s attention.

By then, everything would become clear.

As for danger?

Danger certainly exists, but it’s better than passive waiting.

Moreover, Jason’s reliability throughout the journey gave Cui Long confidence.

"Then we’ll act now."

Dou Bao said as she took Cui Long’s hand, leading the way outside.

Cui Long wanted to resist but in the end, didn’t dare.

Letting Dou Bao lead her by the hand towards the mule market.

Jason camouflaged himself on the side.

Just as Cui Long had speculated, rather than being passive, it was better to lure out the enemy.

However, after Dou Bao sold the horses and restocked the supplies, no one came to tail them.

Except a few greedy-looking fellows, not a single person bore malicious intent.

Furthermore, upon returning to the courtyard, they received a rather unexpected piece of news.

"The flying thief got caught?"

Dou Bao and Cui Long were taken aback.

"Yes!"

"In fact, it was caught the night before last. The newly hired Zhao instructor single-handedly captured this flying thief, only worried the thief had accomplices, therefore, kept it under wraps."

"But now, the thief’s accomplices have fallen into the net, and there is no need for martial law anymore."

"Rumor has it Zhao instructs in ’Tiger-shape Fist’, throwing a punch like a real tiger."
