Chapter 29: Heading to Huan City
In the Yunlai Inn, Yu Chimu asked for a few dishes, and sat in the lobby with Chi Xiaoman waiting for Shangzi to return.
"According to what you said, the old man deliberately led us to ask for a signature, what was his purpose?" After eating a few bites, Chi Xiaoman put down his chopsticks and couldn't help mentioning it.
Along the way, she kept thinking about his guesses, but she felt like there was a fog in the middle, so that she couldn't see the truth.
"Do you remember what the old man told you? I want to know everything. Wei Chimu didn't answer the rhetorical question. Looking back now, he felt more and more suspicious that the old man, at the beginning he only cared about Xiaoman's feelings, because she cared about the old man's words, so he asked yì to listen to the old man's words to ask for a sign, anyway, he just asked for a sign, he didn't think that he would be so lucky to ask for that lottery.
It was impossible to remember it word for word, but Xiao Man still roughly said the old man's words. When the old man mentioned that Wei Chimu had peach blossoms on his face and that there were probably many women in his life, she looked at him with a slight squint, as if she wanted to see through the slightest hint of uneasiness on his face.
"That old man is talking nonsense!" "Damn! That is simply destroying his relationship with Xiaoman. Yu Chi Mu was so angry that he wanted to kill, and as soon as he shook his hand, there was a click, and the chopsticks in his hand broke in response.
Chi Xiaoman stuck out his tongue, it seems that he is not only not weak but also angry, which means that there is no woman around him except her? At least there should be none now.
Hey...... As long as he is with her for a day, she will kill his peach blossoms!
She was in a good mood because of his anger, so she beckoned Xiao Er over, asked for a pair of chopsticks for him again, asked for a pot of wine, and poured him a glass with her own hands.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, what matters now is his purpose, it seems that he wants to let me leave you through these words. But why bother us to ask for a signature?"
"To confirm that there is no compatibility between us. Yu Chimu drank all the wine in the cup and said with a wry smile: "Just by what he said, you may mind in your heart, but you don't believe it, right?"
Chi Xiaoman pursed his lips, he couldn't deny that she was indeed affected, "Who made that sign so bad! There are so many good, not good or bad, but I can draw the worst, which is a very great thing!"
Yu Chimu was amused by her, and suddenly a flash of inspiration clicked her nose, and said with a smile: "Xiaoman, your words make me even more convinced that this is a conspiracy!"
"Conspiracy ......" Chi Xiaoman blinked with a pair of wonderful eyes, looked at him curiously and said, "Let's hear it." ”
"Think about it, how do you determine which one we can get? I can be sure that the one I asked for is fine, then the problem is you. He pondered for a moment and said, "Think about it carefully, did you see a vision in the temple, or did anyone come into contact with you?"
If the other party can't grasp the sign they are asking for, then the qiē is meaningless, so he thinks that Xiao Man must have happened after he left the temple.
"When you say that, I am reminded of something. "Chi Xiaoman said that after drawing lots, he bumped into a girl.
"You said that the slip in your hand had landed, and that the girl picked it up for you?" he frowned, thinking that this was the problem. "Are you sure that the stick you drew is the one that is written on it?"
Chi Xiaoman shook his head, "I smoked it with my eyes closed, and after drawing the lot, I turned around, and before I could see it, I hit someone, and my hand was numb, and the lottery fell off." ”
"The girl was quite suspicious. Yu Chi Muxing's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "If that girl changes your signature, this qiē will make sense!"
"What do you mean...... What I asked for was also a marriage sign, but she replaced it?" Chi Xiaoman had mixed feelings for a while, whether he was happy, angry, and confused, "But she changed the sign, but why didn't she receive the signed poem......?" Isn't it for you?"
"Xiaoman, are you jealous?" he looked at her with a smile, his handsome face full of joy.
"Where's the vinegar? I don't like sour. "Hmph, look at his sed, she won't admit it.
Yu Chimu smiled and shook his head.
It wasn't until the wine and food on the table were used up that Shang Ziqi returned from outside. When Chi Xiaoman saw that he was the only one who came back, he was slightly disappointed.
A trace of surprise flashed in Yu Chimu's eyes, and he immediately retreated, and said to Shang Ziqi with a smile: "Ziqi, people have lost it?"
Chi Xiaoman gave him a strange look, and it was very strange that he could still ask such a thing with a smile. Is he such a good talker?
"Master, my subordinates are incompetent. The man...... The light skill is extremely high, and the subordinates lost the trace of the person soon after chasing him, and the subordinates did not do their jobs effectively...... He found only what the man had left behind...... Be willing to be punished. Shang Ziqi's resolute face was full of self-reproach, he took out a stick from his arms, put it on the table, and with a bang, he knelt down to Wei Chimu.
Chi Xiaoman was taken aback, what is the situation? She doesn't know anything about the Shadow Pavilion, and it's not easy to intervene in the matter between them, but if Yu Chi Mu really wants to punish Brother Shang, she will still speak for Brother Shang.
"I don't blame you, get up. Yu Chimu picked up the stick, played with it, waved his hand, and said as if he really didn't care at all: "You're hungry too, order some food yourself." Xiaoman, you can keep this sign well, this is the proof of our marriage, we will leave Huancheng early tomorrow morning, you should rest early. ”
"Oh......" she replied, taking the sign, always feeling that the atmosphere was very strange, and a pair of big eyes watched back and forth between the two of them.
Shang Ziqi was shocked in his heart, how could the prince know that the signature should have belonged to Miss Chi?
"Thank you for the grace of the master's non-punishment. He was quite shocked, but he didn't dare to have any expression on his face, just got up silently, asked Xiao Er for a bowl of noodles, and sat down at the table with his head down.
The atmosphere was quite depressing, and as soon as Chi Xiaoman wanted to say something, Yu Chimu first said to her with a wicked smile: "Xiaoman, do you want me to carry you upstairs?"
"No, no. Chi Xiaoman hurriedly waved his hand. What are you kidding, this is a big court, although the time is late, and there is only one table of guests in the lobby, but isn't there still a shopkeeper?
She stood up, left the table and said with some hesitation, "You...... You won't punish Big Brother Shang, right?"
"If you say you won't be punished, you won't be punished. Am I like a villain who has rebelled?" Wei Chimu was slightly displeased by her distrust.
"Okay, okay, but I'll make sure who I'm going to show my face! I'll go back to my room. Chi Xiaoman knew that he was determined not to let him stay here, but she still wanted to believe that he was a man of his word, and it was a big deal to find a way to set up Brother Shang's words tomorrow to see what Wei Chimu said to him.
After Chi Xiaoman went upstairs, Yu Chi Mucai said coldly, "You deliberately let that person run away?"
"No...... Master, the subordinates really failed to catch up......" Shang Ziqi raised his head sharply and hurriedly argued.
"Ziqi, you have never been a good liar, you know that person, don't you?" Wei Chimu sighed. As soon as Shang Ziqi stepped into the inn, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to contact him, he had some suspicions, but he didn't expect that he, a subordinate who had always been quite sincere, would lie to him for that person.
"The subordinates don't know. Shang Ziqi lowered his eyes and said.
"Didn't you catch up with someone? How do you know if you denied the other party?" Wei Chimu looked like a smile.
Naoko was taken aback, alas...... How could he naively think that he could hide from the shrewd prince? This deception of his master made him feel quite guilty in his heart, and with the wisdom of the prince, how could he not see his uneasiness.
But he couldn't let Qianqian be punished, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "My subordinates made a mistake at the moment." ”
"Slip of the tongue?" Wei Chi Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Give you three days to tell the truth, otherwise you will roll me back to Yasukuni, and I will let Du Zuo investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Subordinate—"
Wei Chimu didn't give him a chance to explain at all, flicked his sleeves, got up and went upstairs to the room.
Naoko sat in a daze, her heart twisting and turning, but she couldn't think of what to do.

The next morning, before the hour arrived, Chi Xiaoman got up and went downstairs. She remembered that she had made an appointment with Wu Tingzhong today, but she didn't know if he would really come.
"Miss. ”
When I got downstairs, I saw a person hurriedly greeted him and saluted him respectfully.
Chi Xiaoman looked at it, who else was this Wu Tingzhong?
She was naturally quite happy that he could come as promised, which also meant that she was not wrong, Wu Tingzhong was really reliable, so she could rest assured that she would hand over the business to him in the future.
In the lobby, Yu Chimu and Shang Ziqi had already gotten up, and Yu Chimu smiled and beckoned to her: "Come and use breakfast, and go on the road after eating." ”
Chi Xiaoman nodded excitedly, turned his head and asked Wu Tingzhong: "Brother Wu, did you use it too early?"
"Used. Wu Tingzhong scratched his head honestly and said, "Miss, don't call me Brother Wu...... Call me Xiaozhong in the future!"
Chi Xiaoman nodded after thinking about it, and sat down happily to get up early.
Huancheng County, she's here!
