"Why did you say that just now?" Zhao Yue took him into the next room and hugged him on his lap.
"Why?" Wen Liunian blinked his eyes, "Because there is a case to be tried. If you don't say that, how can you get out of the other party's words?"
"I never thought about it. What if the other party runs away?" Zhao Yue said, "Don't take such a risk next time." Let go.
"Will you let them run away?" Wen Liunian asked back.
Zhao Yue shook his head: "No."
"That's fine." Wen Liunian smiled, "I'm sensible."
Zhao Yue said: "It's just this one time, it's not an example. No matter what you do in the future, you must first protect yourself."
"Actually, it's not that serious." Wen Liunian said, "Even if they really run away, it's too late, there is no possibility of exposing me in front of the emperor, the most is spreading rumors in the city, no one will believe it."
Zhao Yue tapped his nose: "You are the one who makes the most sense."
Wen Liunian scratched his face, smiled and said, "Because my brain is easy to use."
Outside the house, the dark guard was happily gnawing chicken paws together with the Ouchi guards, the moon was bright and the wind was clear and the flowers were fragrant, it was really very pleasant.
As soon as the Ouchi guard stood up, he sat back on the roof with his shoulders pressed down by the hidden guard.
…
"I have a mission." Ouchi's guard couldn't bear it anymore, "I can't enjoy the scenery with you in the shade."
"Master Wen is in the small courtyard ahead. If there is any movement, we will hear it immediately." Anwei said, "It's the same here."
The Ouchi guard said: "The emperor has ordered us to stay close to protect your lord."
"The Palace Master has also ordered that when the Chasing Shadow Palace is dealing with affairs in the Jianghu, it is better for others not to disturb you as much as possible." The dark guard wiped the oil on his hands, with a righteous face on his face—in order to help the lord, he occasionally admitted to the palace. It's okay for the master, but in fact, we are still unfamiliar with each other. We have always been just the dog legs of the young master and the young palace master.
The Ouchi guards hesitated slightly. When they left the palace, Chu Yuan did give orders not to conflict with Chasing Shadow Palace as much as possible.
The secret guard said: "Although the master of my family said that martial arts are common, it is still enough to protect Mr. Wen."
The Ouchi guard shook his head: "Everyone is self-effacing. The Master of Chasing Shadow Palace is the number one master in martial arts today. Naturally, we will not question this." Then just stay here, with Qin Shaoyu in it, it is true that he will not appear. What's up.
After drinking a cup of tea, Wen Liunian's heartbeat recovered slightly, so he went back to the next door with Zhao Yue.
Mu Qingshan was gnawing chicken paws, spitting out the bones all over the place - he has always been gentle and delicate, eating without making any noise, but this time Shang Yunze said to act like a bad guy, so he also learned opera The bandits in the middle were bold for a while.
Shang Yunze held back his laughter, almost having stomach cramps.
You can believe it after a little coaxing, it really hurts to stay there.
Lu Zhui sighed in his heart, the love of this pair of Sai.
"Have you thought it through?" Wen Liunian continued to ask solemnly.
"How do you want us to cooperate with you?" The other party finally let go—as I said just now, if you think about it carefully, it is really not worthwhile to die here.
"Tell me about it yourself." Wen Liunian sat back on the chair.
"..." The other party was a little speechless, what to say
"I know what all of you are capable of, and this official can measure, what conditions should be exchanged." Wen Liunian smiled a little coldly.
Zhao Yue: "..."
This is also a bit too involved.
Mu Qingshan thought while spitting out the chicken bones, adults must have watched many theaters when they were young.
"We are Qingqiu's dead soldiers." The other party said.
Knew it. Wen Liunian shook his head and said, "No one is born a dead man, and you have to use your own life to pave the way for others to become prosperous. Since we want to do great things together, we naturally want to share wealth and glory."
"Is there no dead man around Yun Duanhun?" The other party was surprised.
"There are killers, but they won't die in vain." Wen Liunian said, "And they won't act alone. Our lives are all linked together."
The opponent relaxed slightly.
"How did Qingqiu tell you? If you want to achieve great things, you have to sacrifice generously and despise life and death?" Wen Liunian said, "Then why didn't he go to the battle himself, but pulled others to stand in front? To be honest, it is nothing more than greed. Mu Ronghua refuses to admit that he is just a despicable villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
Zhao Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Working hard for such a villain, even if you die, you will have no face to face your ancestors." Wen Liunian said, "On the contrary, if you really donate your life to achieve great things, then it is what a real man does."
"Can your lord really recommend us to meet King Daming?" the other party asked.
Wen Liunian said: "If you are willing to cooperate, after explaining everything clearly, I will send you all out to sea."
"It turns out that King Daming is really in Tsunami Bay." The other party said to himself.
Wen Liunian recorded the place name in his mind.
"We used to follow Qingqiu to live on the island and seldom went ashore. It wasn't until three months ago that we left by boat with him and arrived in this royal city." The other party said.
"What did you do?" Wen Liunian asked.
"We are only responsible for the assassination, and don't intervene much in other matters." The other party said, "But it seems that we have trampled the entire Wangcheng, and after drawing the map, we have also contracted a lot of brothels."
Wen Liunian said: "How many people came in total?"
"Seventeen people." The other party said, "But Qingqiu still has a lot of support in the royal city."
"Do you know where he lives?" Wen Liunian asked.
The other party shook his head: "The residence of each team is separate. If there is a task, there will be a special person to notify. No one knows where Qingqiu lives."
"Is Qingqiu related to that group of snake dancers?" Wen Liunian asked again.
"I don't know." The other party continued to shake his head, "I've never heard of it."
Wen Liunian rubbed his chin, it seemed that Qingqiu was really vigilant.
After the questioning, it was almost late at night. Wen Liunian lay on the edge of the bathtub, asked Zhao Yue to help him wipe his back, and then opened his mouth and said, "Ah!"
Zhao Yue was taken aback: "Did it hurt you?"
Wen Liunian looked up.
The Ouchi guards remained silent, and collectively moved to another roof.
Zhao Yue: "..."
"Should we go?" Wen Liunian asked.
Zhao Yue laughed: "Yes."
Wen Liunian leaned on his chest, interlocked his fingers and said, "Sure enough, we have come to Wangcheng, and there are many things to do." First, he wanted to search for Qingqiu's whereabouts all over the city, and then a group of jugglers with evil intentions appeared. , now it is even more straightforward to assassinate, and it is not known what troubles will happen in the future.
"Tired?" Zhao Yue hugged him from behind.
"It's not really tiring, but the sooner these troublesome things can be resolved, the better." Wen Liunian turned to look at him, "Leave that aside, you are not allowed to practice martial arts from today on, remember?"
"It's not that you can't practice at all." Zhao Yue said, "It's just that you can't act too hastily."
"Since something went wrong, it's better not to practice." Wen Liunian said, "I'm not in a hurry."
Zhao Yue smiled: "Of course I won't rush for success, don't worry."
"Have you ever thought about who is most likely to seal your acupuncture points?" Wen Liunian asked.
"Probably my father." Zhao Yue helped him straighten his hair, "Even if it was done by the master, it should be my father's instruction."
"Then did Uncle Zhao say anything before that could be related to this matter?" Wen Liunian asked again.
"When I was a child, I couldn't get started in practicing kung fu, so I was inevitably anxious." Zhao Yue said, "I told my father when I got home, but he said it was a good thing." I didn't understand it at the time, but now that I think about it, I understand it.
"If there hadn't been the bloody case in Mujiazhuang back then, my father originally planned to take me back to my hometown in the countryside after saving some money." Zhao Yue hugged him tightly.
"Has Uncle Zhao mentioned his past to you?" Wen Liunian asked again.
"Never." Zhao Yue said, "He seldom talked about his past. When I asked who my mother was, he only said that my mother was a very good woman, but he never even mentioned her name. Not to mention."
Wen Liunian pressed his face against his chest, and gave a low "hmm".
"Whether it's my past or my background, it doesn't seem to be very good." Zhao Yue said, "It's probably because God thinks I'm too unlucky, so I let you pick me up in Boundless City."
Wen Liunian laughed out loud, "You were so fierce back then."
"Are you afraid?" Zhao Yue asked in his ear.
"Not too scared." Wen Liunian thought for a while, "It just looks fierce." He still likes it a little bit.
Zhao Yue bowed his head and kissed him, with a smile in his eyes.
At that time, I probably never thought that it would end up like this in the end.
Early the next morning, Wen Liunian entered the palace, while Zhao Yue took people to the restaurant, repaired the damaged part, and prepared to choose a new date for opening.
The common people also came to help when they had time, and while helping to scold the raider for having a bad conscience, such a good Mr. Wen would be assassinated, while curiously asking who was so bold to make such a thing happen in broad daylight.
Zhao Yue shook his head: "The group of people were seriously injured. They vomited blood and died when they returned. They didn't ask anything. It's probably the beams they formed when they were walking in the rivers and lakes."
It really is the grievances and grievances in the mouth of the storyteller. Thinking of the scene of swords and swords at that time, the common people still have lingering fears. They think that it is better to listen to the story and read the script. Once they really see it, it is still a little scary.
"How did the interrogation of that group go yesterday?" Chu Yuan was also asking in the palace.
"It's the enmity we forged when we were in Miaojiang, Yunnan." Wen Liunian said, "People from Mujiazhuang."
Hearing the word Yunnan, Chu Yuan was slightly disturbed.
"With the help of Palace Master Qin, it has been resolved." Wen Liunian said, "I entered the palace this time to ask the emperor how he plans to deal with those jugglers." After the previous batch of grass seeds were sent into the palace, Chu Yuan sent his confidantes to check back and forth and found nothing abnormal. Wen Liunian even stayed in the library for seven days, searching through almost all the books on weaving and planting, but he couldn't find the so-called "black mist burning". It wasn't until he took the red-armored wolf into the palace one time and accidentally dropped it into the grass seed pile that he discovered the clue.
"Aiqing's bug... what's wrong?" Chu Yuan wondered, looking at the little red beetle running around in the bag.
"This is a red-armored wolf, except for the Gu king, it will eat all kinds of bugs." Wen Liunian said, "When you see a swarm of bugs, you will be excited."
But there were clearly black grass seeds in the cloth bag, Chu Yuan and Wen Liunian looked at each other, and immediately ordered to put all the grass seeds into the big vat, sealed it with wax oil, and buried it in the ground temporarily. Then he secretly produced the same black powder, pretending to distribute it to the brocade department and the major brocade shops in the city, so as not to scare the snake away.
"Congratulations from all countries are coming soon, just as Aiqing said, at this time, it would be too disrespectful for me to jump around." Chu Yuan said, "Now the entrance to the city has been blocked layer by layer, and the other party will not be able to escape for a while. It's better to wait and see what happens, and see what tricks they can come up with."
"But Commander Xiang was still saying the day before yesterday that he was worried that the other party would take advantage of the time of the celebrations from all countries to make trouble." Wen Liunian said cautiously.
"Unless the other party wants to seek their own death, they should not act rashly." Chu Yuan was not too worried about this. There are tens of thousands of imperial forest troops in the royal city, and they will only be more vigilant during major celebrations, and there is the Shadow Chasing Palace, not to mention Qijue King Mu Hanye - this discussion was originally to connect the two countries. If anyone dares to make trouble at this moment, I'm afraid it will not end well. And there is another reason... Thinking of this, Chu Yuan smiled unconsciously: "Xiao Jin will also come, let him have a look at these so-called grass seeds, and there may be new discoveries."
"President Shen and Ye Xiaowang will also come?" Wen Liunian was surprised when he heard this.
"Yes." Chu Yuan nodded.
Wen Liunian blinked.
"What happened to Aiqing?" Chu Yuan asked.
"It's nothing." Wen Liunian came back to his senses, "I'm just thinking that the royal city is going to be lively now."
"It's better if it's more lively." Chu Yuan said, "It's better to be more lively, so that people with ulterior motives can see how my country is rich and powerful!"
After resigning from the imperial study, Wen Liunian did not return to the brocade workshop, but went to the restaurant.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Yue was leading someone to re-arrange the tables, chairs and benches. After seeing him, he wiped his hands and went downstairs.
"The matter on the emperor's side is finished." Wen Liunian said, "How is the progress?"
"Everything is going well." Zhao Yue pulled him to sit aside, "I was in the restaurant when I was fighting, so I only need to repair a few railings and then paint it, and it will open after a few days.
"That's good." Wen Liunian helped him wipe off his sweat.
"What about you?" Zhao Yue asked.
"The emperor said that the envoys from various countries will arrive in Wangcheng soon, so there is no rush to chase Qingqiu, since even if they are locked in the city, they will not be able to get out." Wen Liunian replied.
"So you can sneak away for a few days?" Zhao Yue looked at him.
"Yeah." Wen Liunian smiled.
"Won't you be called into the palace from time to time?" Zhao Yue asked again.
Wen Liunian shook his head vigorously.
Zhao Yue was amused, and pressed his thumb on his nose.
The surrounding people covered their faces one after another, ouch, it was hot.
If Da Dangjia and Mr. Wen became affectionate, it would be really unbearable.
As for those Qingqiu dead soldiers, after being interrogated, they will be temporarily detained by the Shadow Chasing Palace - no one can rest assured that such a group of people will be released. It just so happens that Qin Shaoyu and Shen Qianling plan to live in Wangcheng for a period of time before heading to the South China Sea Ranshuang Island was visiting Master, so he happened to be able to take it with him. As for the jugglers who danced snakes in the outskirts of the city, they were ordered by Chu Yuan not to leave the royal city for the time being. They could only leave the city gates after the soft armor was finished and distributed to the Chu army to ensure that there were enough grass seeds.
Although he was dissatisfied, but the other party was the emperor, the group of jugglers had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
"Brother Wen." Zhang Yun walked over from the opposite side with a smile on his face, and he was in a good mood when he saw it.
"Master Zhang is picking up money?" Wen Liunian joked.
"It's much better than picking up silver." Zhang Yun sat opposite him, and said happily, "Today I went to see the heroes of Chasing Shadow Palace again. Not only did I learn two kung fu skills, but Mr. Shen even brought out some snacks himself." Come from the east.
Wen Liunian also laughed: "By the way, I haven't thanked Brother Zhang yet."
"What's the matter?" Zhang Yun was a little puzzled.
"With the help of the servants in Brother Zhang's house, that house was able to be repaired so quickly." Wen Liunian said.
"So it's because of this. Brother Wen doesn't have to worry about trivial matters." Zhang Yun was very forthright, "Then when does Brother Wen plan to move in?"
"Three days later." Wen Liunian said with a smile, "Brother Zhang must come to have a cup of housewarming wine by then."
Moving is a big deal, let alone Mr. Wen's moving - he is a first-class celebrity in front of the emperor. Although the imperial court has orders, officials are not allowed to take this opportunity to accept bribes, and they dare not give money openly, but it is a necessary etiquette to come to the door with a congratulatory gift, so three days later, early in the morning, people began to gather at the gate of the house , not only the court officials, the people in the city, but also the nearby Jianghu sects also came to join in the fun. Firstly, Zhao Dazhao was more or less a member of the Jianghu, and secondly, he also wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with Qin Palace Master.
Looking at the word "Wen's Mansion" flying flying and phoenix at the gate of the house, Lu Zhui gritted his teeth in his heart, and now he is willing to marry.
"Congratulations to Mr. Wen, congratulations to Mr. Wen." The court officials all saluted and congratulated, almost crushing the hall. Fortunately, the servants from Zhang Yun's mansion came to help, otherwise there might not even be enough people to make tea.
"Chirp!" The fur ball bouncing around, twisting and shutting between the adults, and hiding back to the nest with the little gems and golden beans that it wants to get. The red-armored wolf lay on its head, and quickly shook its tentacles, so happy!
"I'm exhausted." By the time the last group of guests were delivered, it was already dark, and Wen Liunian slumped on the chair weakly, not wanting to move.
Zhao Yue grabbed his arm and wanted to take him back to the bedroom.
"Don't move!" Wen Liunian cried out in pain.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yue was taken aback.
"Arm hurts." Wen Liunian gasped.
"I usually ask you to move more, but I refuse." Zhao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and gently squeezed his arm.
"Something moving." Wen Liunian said.
"Walking in the courtyard to digest food doesn't count." Zhao Yue said.
Wen Liunian looked at the sky: "Oh." Then it's gone.
"Master Mu knows that he needs to practice health-preserving boxing." Zhao Yue said, "Why don't I take you to practice together from tomorrow?"
Wen Liunian almost shook his head off.
Zhao Yue: "..."
In order to quickly confuse this topic, Wen Liunian stood up resolutely: "Let's go back to the room and rest." Don't mention anything about martial arts training!
Zhao Yue shook his head in his heart, and went back to the room with him behind his back.
Sitting on the roof, the Ouchi guard watched the two return to the bedroom together, and then continued to watch the night with a calm face—he had protected many adults before, so he didn't think there was anything unusual about this mission, but It was only later that I discovered that there are still people who can love to such an extent that they not only have to take two steps, but also often kiss outside.
The dark guard enthusiastically threw over a pack of jujubes.
Ouchi's head started to hurt again.
Palace Master Qin and Young Master Shen have left, why are these people still staying here
"Chirp." Little Phoenix squatted on the stone table in the courtyard, lowered his head and pulled the beef jerky with all his strength—there was a shiny red-armored wolf here, so naturally he was reluctant to leave, so Shen Qianling left it in Wenfu for the night, leaving a few by the way. Taking care of the dark guards can also protect Wen Liunian.
"Do you want to buy some wontons and come back to eat?" After a long while, the dark guard spoke enthusiastically again.
The Ouchi guard's expression froze—it's okay to eat roasted seeds and dates before, but can you get wontons with soup and water to eat when you are on duty
The dark guard continued to say happily: "It's a pity that it's too hot now, otherwise we can still have a hot pot."
Ouchi guard: "..."
This hot pot must not be the hot pot I thought.
Knowing that Wen Liunian has always been elegant, Zhao Yue planted a lot of flowers and plants in the small courtyard outside the bedroom, as well as a few orchids in the empty valley that he personally dug from the deep mountains.
As the morning sun gradually rose, Wen Liunian turned over and shrank into the arms of the person beside him.
Zhao Yue saw that his eyelashes were trembling slightly, as if he was about to wake up, so he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Practice."
Wen Liunian's body froze for a moment, and then his breathing quickly resumed—didn't wake up!
Zhao Yue laughed out loud, bowed his head and kissed deeply.
Wen Liunian carefully raised the eyelid of one eye: "You don't need to practice, right?" If you really want to practice, then I will definitely be able to fall asleep again immediately.
"Teasing you." Zhao Yue hugged someone to lie on his body, "If you don't want to, I will naturally not force you, just walk around outside more in the future."
Only then was Wen Liunian relieved, and smiled and kissed him: "Morning."
"It's getting late." Zhao Yue said, "If you don't get up again, you can have lunch directly."
"Yeah." Wen Liunian stretched vigorously, "Let's go, hurry up and finish the meal, and go to the restaurant to check the last time, this time we can't make any more trouble." It's rare to have a free vacation, so of course you have to take it easy To use it, all the things that should be done should be arranged properly.
The new paint on the restaurant has dried completely, and everything has returned to its original appearance. Wen Liunian and Shen Qianling personally discussed the auspicious day, and soon reopened. In order to suppress his surprise, Chu Yuan personally brought people to congratulate him, and all the officials and common people knelt down to salute. How come even the emperor is here
"Get up, I just came to say congratulations to Wen Aiqing and Master Zhao, and then I will go back to the palace." Chu Yuan also seemed in a good mood.
Wen Liunian let him into the private room, Qin Shaoyu and Shen Qianling were also there.
"Palace Master Qin, Mr. Shen." Chu Yuan said, "Don't come here without any problems."
"Your Majesty." Shen Qianling poured him a cup of tea with a smile, "I was just talking about it, after Brother Ye came, we will go to the palace together to face the saint."
"How did you know Xiao Jin would come?" Chu Yuan was a little surprised.
"Brother Ye will come naturally." Shen Qianling is very serious, "Although he looks very fierce, but whenever there is a big event in the royal city or the emperor has worries, he will come."
Chu Yuan smiled, feeling a little hot in his heart.
Knowing that he was present, the crowd would be more or less restrained, so Chu Yuan only drank a cup of tea and got up to leave. Shen Qianling lay on the window sill, watching his back gradually disappear as he turned the corner of the street.
"Come back." Qin Shaoyu tapped his head, "What are you looking at?"
"It would be great if the emperor is willing to become a queen." Shen Qianling sat back on the chair, "I can also have someone to take care of me." It's not like now, even if there are countless guards around, I always feel a little lonely.
"It's not like ordinary people marrying a daughter-in-law. When you see someone you like, you can come to propose marriage." Qin Shaoyu handed him a cup of tea, "It's not that simple."
Wen Liunian turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yue.
You and I are ordinary people.
So when this head subsides, hurry up and propose marriage!
After the opening of the restaurant, the business quickly got on the right track. The emperor had visited it in person, and it was the restaurant owned by Mr. Wen and the head of the family. Naturally, the business was booming day by day. The envoys of the dependent countries also began to arrive gradually. The Persian dancer with her navel exposed covered her face with a light veil and her eyes were as blue as the sea. She twisted her waist and danced on the ornately decorated cart, attracting countless people to watch. It was more lively than New Year's Eve. .
On the mountain road outside the city, a group of carriages and horses were hurrying on their way. Mrs. Wen was leaning on the carriage, almost smiling from ear to ear, as she was about to arrive at Wangcheng. Although Wen Rumo said that he disdained women's happy faces, he was still happy in his heart. He didn't even find it hard to drive day and night, and saw his son in his sleep. At this time, the two were planning some things after meeting when the carriage suddenly jolted violently.
"Ah!" Mrs. Wen couldn't sit still and almost fell out.
"Be careful." Wen Rumo hurriedly hugged her, opened the curtain and asked, "What happened?"
"Master, there is a group of bandits ahead." The servant who drove the carriage trembled.
"Bandit?" Wen Rumo turned pale with shock, and hurried out of the carriage to see what was going on, and saw a few big men leaning under the tree in front of them, the knives in their waists were shining brightly.
"This, this, this, go quickly." Wen Rumo's face turned pale. He is a well-mannered businessman, and he has never seen such a battle. He came back to Wangcheng thinking that he would take the water route from the south of the Yangtze River, and the emperor's feet should be peaceful. Changsheng, so he only brought three servants with him, but he didn't expect to encounter bandits when he was about to go to Wangcheng.
Mrs. Wen was so frightened that the coachman hurriedly got out of the carriage and ran back.
"This brother." A greeting suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Ah!" Before Wen Rumo could get into the car in the future, he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. Fang Fang had just realized that he was still on the other side, so why did he appear suddenly.
"What do you want to do!" Although Mrs. Wen is a woman, but seeing that her master is in danger, she still came out and raised her eyebrows, showing her savage temper when she was a girl at home.
The other party was a man in his 40s or 50s. After being scolded, he was obviously stunned: "I want to—" Before he finished speaking, the carriage disappeared with a "swoosh".
…
"Sir." Another man stepped forward, "What happened?"
"I just want to ask if they have spare steel nails on the car, which can be used for us to repair the car." Yun Duanhun said.
The man frowned: "Will something happen?"
"This face has been changed, and now no one in the world can recognize me." Yun Duanhun shook his head, "Don't worry, I look like a local rich man who is not a member of the local government, he must have been frightened after seeing the knife."
The man nodded, and walked back together with him without asking any more questions. It's just that no one noticed that a small blue cloth bag fell out of the grass next to the mountain road.
"Fortunately, fortunately." After running for a while, seeing no one catching up behind, Mrs. Wen patted her chest and thanked God.
"That's not it." Wen Rumo held the tea, his hands were still shaking.
"Tell me, how scary this bandit is." Mrs. Wen was terrified, "Fortunately, Xiao Liuzi was transferred back to Wangcheng, otherwise I would be scared out of trouble by him sooner or later if I stayed in Cangwu City every day."
"You shouldn't have taken this small road just to hurry up." Wen Rumo said, "But luckily nothing happened, so hurry back to the official road now, and you can reach the king city when it gets dark."
Although the official road was a bit detoured, the servant was frightened just now and wanted to find an inn to stay quickly, so he drove extremely hard. When the moon rabbit was rising eastward, he finally arrived at the foot of the city gate. After careful interrogation by the guards, he was arrested. Let go—of course, in order not to cause trouble for my son, I said I came here to visit relatives and friends.
"It's almost here." Mrs. Wen jumped out of the carriage, "My waist is going to fall apart."
"It's too late now, let's find a restaurant to have a good meal to calm the shock, then sleep for the night, and then go to find my son tomorrow." Wen Rumo helped her pat the dirt on her body, "Don't worry, it must be tonight, right? "
"Of course it will be tomorrow. I haven't seen Xiaoliuzi for several years. How can we be so disheartened and dusty." Madam Wen gave him a white look. Naturally, she wanted to have a good sleep, and then went to see her son after washing up. Shameful, he was said to be a local rich man in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Okay." Wen Rumo obeyed her, and it happened that there was a big restaurant not far away, and the lantern was still on, so they went to have dinner together.
"Guest officer, please." Xiao Er was very enthusiastic and handed over the menu with a pleasant smile.
Since he wanted to suppress the shock, he had to eat the best meal. Wen Rumo brought his wife and the driver together, and the whole family had a delicious meal. They also packed two roast ducks and planned to take them to the inn for supper. When checking out, he touched his bosom, but his face turned pale.
"Guest...officer?" Xiao Er's smile froze on his face.
"This, this..." Wen Rumo stood up and searched all over his body, but he didn't see where the money bag went. He was so anxious that he was sweating all over his head. The servant went to the carriage to find it, and said nothing. No.
"Master, don't worry." Mrs. Wen hurriedly comforted, "I'll look for it again."
"It's really gone." Wen Rumo stomped his feet, "Could it be taken by those bandits?" He said why he didn't catch up, it turned out that the money was already in his hands.
Xiao Er curled her lips, saying, just talk, eat free food, and return the bandit. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, where did the bandits come from? Don't be afraid to flash your tongue.
"Little brother, our silver is indeed lost." The servant's silver was not enough, and it was already late at night. In desperation, Wen Rumo had no choice but to ask his wife to take off a pair of earrings temporarily. This offset, how about we redeem it tomorrow?"
"The pawn shop is closed now, where can I go for an estimate?" Xiaoer said, "Wait, I'll ask my shopkeeper."
"Okay, okay." Wen Rumo nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Er ran downstairs and knocked on the door: "Second Master."
"What's wrong?" Lu asked.
"A freelancer came upstairs and said he had no money and wanted to pay off the debt with jewelry." Xiaoer said.
"Oh?" Lu Zhui said, "Go and do your work, I'll go up and have a look."
Wen Rumo was discussing with his wife, if it really didn't work, he had to ask Xiao Er to find his son, when he looked up, he saw a young man walking up.
"You are the shopkeeper of this restaurant?" Wen Rumo hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"You're welcome." Lu Zhui supported him, "I heard from Xiao Er, you all met bandits, so you lost your silver taels?"
"That's right." Wen Rumo sighed, "We came from Jiangnan, and the journey was uneventful. We saw that we had reached the emperor's feet, but we didn't expect to encounter robbers. I'm really sorry for the shopkeeper."
Although it is unbelievable to encounter bandits in this area, but Lu Zhui glanced at the earrings on the table, it seems that they are indeed valuables, and there is no need to lie, so he was about to say it's okay, but he glanced at a jade pendant on Wen Rumo's waist, There is a word "Wen" on it.
…
