Having gone to bed late at night, she got up late in the morning. Shaoyao, who had already had breakfast once, accompanied Huazhi to have another breakfast with confidence, and ate more than Huazhi.
Although Baoxia's cooking skills are not as good as Fudong's, she was trained and raised together with Fudong, and is far more than an ordinary cook. Shaoyao is extremely satisfied that she can still eat so deliciously outside.
"Huahua, are you going to that place today?"
"Since I promised Wang Yu before, I have to go. It's okay if you don't want to go."
"Of course I'll go." Shaoyao took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Huahua. "The chronic poison in Yu Weiwei can be cured, but if it's delayed for too long, her body will collapse even if it's cured. Give this to Yu Weiwei and ask her to find a chance to feed it to her father. It can alleviate some of the toxicity, so that when the poison is cured, her body won't collapse too badly."
Hua Zhi nodded. "I go there to play for half a day every day these days. She should find a chance to come out."
Gu Yanxi looked over and asked, "Do you go there every day?"
"It's fine to put on a good show and let them think I'm addicted to gambling, but it's hard to convince them that I'm staying here for a long time just for the reason of inspecting the business."
Gu Yanxi still hoped that Azhi could return to Beijing as soon as possible. Even though there were people there who had ill intentions towards her and the Emperor was unkind, there were also her own people from the Zhu family, the Sun family, the Lu family, etc., and even if there was infighting, they were still from the same clan.
But the Chaoli tribe is not like that, and he is afraid that he will not be able to protect them.
However, no matter how worried he was, he would not send her away by force. He was as worried about Azhi as Azhi was about him. She wanted to stay just as he wanted her to leave. No matter how dangerous it was, she wanted to fight the enemy side by side with him. Putting herself in his shoes, he could not refuse such kindness.
Gu Yanxi looked at Azhi. What his Azhi lacked in martial arts, she more than made up for in brains. If she had not come, he would have had to keep an eye on Qi Qiu Sheng for fear of alerting the enemy. But she had connected with Yu Weiwei so cleverly. His Azhi was so capable.
"This place is different from other places. Be careful when you go out." Gu Yanxi picked up the map and opened it. "This is the map of Jinyang City drawn by my men. Take a look at it and get familiar with it. Then you won't panic when something happens."
Hua Zhi looked at the map which could be called detailed in surprise. It turned out that Yan Xi really had a wide range of talented people under his command.
Shaoyao came over and looked at Huahua together. She usually seemed to have a short patience, but when she needed to be patient, she was more patient than anyone else.
After a moment, Hua Zhi had sketched out the topography of Jinyang City in her mind. She pushed the map in front of Shaoyao and looked up and asked, "Are there any arrangements outside the city?"
Gu Yanxi nodded, "We have arranged for support personnel, and have also contacted General Lu who is stationed in Qingliu Camp in Yuzhou. If anything happens to Jinyang, he will rush to help immediately."
Yes, Hua Zhi remembered that all the nine states had military camps stationed there, and they were all stationed near the city. If they had been in touch with them, they would be more confident.
It was still early, so Hua Zhi strolled around the city at a leisurely pace. After getting familiar with the terrain, she headed towards the house. She was now a familiar face, so no one would stop her without the need for a local to lead the way.
There were three carriages parked in the stable, obviously someone had arrived earlier than her.
In other casinos, more people play cards, after all, there are more ways to play. But in this house, mahjong is more popular than cards, so even though three people have come, they didn't play cards, but chatted while waiting for people to come. Seeing that it was Hua Ling who was waiting, they immediately smiled. She lost nearly two thousand taels when she came the day before. As a novice, it should not be difficult to win from her today.
Wang Yu was thinking about the appointment with Hua Ling. He was one of the three people who came early. Seeing that she kept her promise, he liked her even more. He stood up and said, "Finally, we've waited for someone. Without someone, we can't play anymore."
"That's right. We can only draw cards to satisfy our craving." A young woman with her hair tied up in a bun greeted Hua Zhi with a smile.
Hua Zhi was not polite. She sat down in an empty seat and threw the dice. "What are you waiting for? Let's play a few games first."
"Haha, I just like Miss Hua's straightforwardness. Unlike some people, who are always fussy and tedious."
Hua Zhi was still acting like a novice. She was not fast in playing cards, but she was happy to pay the money. Before she knew it, it was already noon. Shaoyao was exhausted. She had to pretend to be very interested in the game even though she obviously didn't like it. She almost pinched her thighs until they were purple before she fell asleep.
The cook was here to prepare lunch, so the others stayed behind. Hua Zhi glanced at Wang Yu inconspicuously, then stood up and said, "I have a weak stomach, so I won't eat outside to avoid suffering."
The little lady who had won nearly a thousand taels of silver from her looked at her as if she were a golden doll, "Will you come again this afternoon?"
"Perhaps tomorrow afternoon."
The young woman was a little disappointed. Even if she came tomorrow, she might not have the chance to play with the golden doll. So many people were waiting.
Wang Yu also stood up and said, "I sneaked out, so I have to go back. I'll come back another day."
The two of them left together openly, walking side by side on the corridor. Hua Zhi whispered, "Miss Wang, you might want to keep an eye on this side. Weiwei should be here in a few days."
Wang Yu looked around and asked, "You went? How is Weiwei?"
"Ms. Wang, sometimes doing nothing is the best for others. After all, even if you know, you can't do anything." Hua Zhi bowed at her and left first.
Wang Yu never expected Hua Ling to say this, and her mind went blank for a moment. But after thinking about it carefully, she had to admit that what Hua Ling said made sense. Even if Weiwei really encountered something, or her new husband was really not a good person, what could she do
Just like Hua Ling said, she couldn't do anything. She was just a girl who was getting married. She could only rely on the power of her family. But would the family help the Yu family because of her? Such a naive idea never occurred to her mind. Her worry was ultimately just worry, and it was useless.
Inside the carriage, Shaoyao asked in a low voice, "Huahua, is there something wrong with Wang Yu?"
"I don't know if there are any problems with the Wang family behind her, but I don't think there are any problems with her. She is really worried about Yu Weiwei, so she used words to provoke me to go to the Yu family. I am an outsider and have no connection with the local forces. Even if I know about something happening in the Yu family, it will not affect the Yu family. She is considering the Yu family."
"and you… "
"That's what she meant. She may really care about Yu Weiwei, but this care won't do anything. Given the current situation of the Yu family, she might accidentally cause trouble for Yu Weiwei. If she's smart, she should know what to do."
Shaoyao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Huahua spoke so impolitely.
Hua Zhi lifted the curtain and looked outside. If Yu Weiwei could control the Yu family, then Qi Qiu, as a live-in son-in-law, would not be able to do much. Otherwise, he would not have poisoned Yu Weiwei and trapped her just a few days after their marriage.
What she was puzzled about was their purpose. Were the Yu family blocking their way, or was there something they needed
