Chapter 46: Interdependence, VIII

They followed the bright light and left, turning back to the avenue from the sparsely lit alley, in front, where the lights were bleak, the Liuxian Restaurant stood quietly, like a pearl in the dark night.

Nearby, something flickered through the dim light, like the shadow of a person who had not returned home, or the product of some whimsy.

Wu Yan noticed it, turned his head to look, Xia Ziyan also felt something from Wu Yan's movements, and did not turn his head to look like Wu Yan. The night rain has not stopped, and it is more delicate and soft, silently wetting the ends of people's hair, eyelashes and sight.

But they could still see the circular pattern on the clothes of the two people who were walking towards them opposite, which was the pattern of Liuxian Restaurant, and it was also the person from Liuxian Restaurant. Wu Yan glanced at the alley on the side, and had an idea in her heart, Xia Ziyan had already spoken one step ahead of her, and said in a low voice: "Don't think too much, follow me." ”

Wu Yan wanted to speak and stopped, gritted his teeth and silently followed. Xia Ziyan knew that she was puzzled, and glanced at her again from the corner of her eye, her lips moved, and finally she didn't open her mouth to explain anything. He had gone on a autumn hunt with the emperor, and when he was hunting alone, he had a problem,—— how could the prey run away when the hunter suddenly appeared in front of the prey.

If the prey runs back, the direction and trajectory of its escape fall into the hunter's sight, which makes it easier for the hunter to draw his bow and aim at the target.

Turn around and run, this is the inertia of the prey, and it has also become the inertia of the hunter. When the prey changes direction and breaks away from inertia, the hunter will be caught off guard and hurriedly turn the direction again, and at the moment of life and death, a momentary action is the key to survival. But he didn't open his mouth to tell Wu Yan about this, she was a frightened little beast at the moment, no matter how well she covered it on the surface, she was actually a soldier inside, so he had a normal face, just asked Wu Yan to follow, and then walked forward with light steps.

They met the guy in the restaurant head-on, the rain and fog gradually rose, and it was hazy in the distance, their footsteps did not stop, Xia Ziyan naturally made eye contact with the guy opposite, and Wu Yan lowered his head and followed obediently. Then, they passed by, quietly.

When Xia Ziyan and the others walked a little farther, one of the two restaurant guys looked back at the figure of the young man and girl who was gradually blurring in the rain and mist, and his footsteps stopped slowly. The other person was puzzled and asked.

The rain was a little heavier, and the two restaurant guys turned around in a hurry and shouted "stop" to the young girl who had walked away behind them!

I didn't want a light cough to float out of the alley on one side, the two restaurant guys looked at the alley together, and saw a sandalwood skirt leaking out of the shadows, the skirt corner went up, and an oil-paper umbrella was gently lifted, revealing the face of a bright and bright girl, and a young man's voice floated out from the side of the bright moon-like girl, first with a soft snort, and by merciless accusation:

"Didn't you see this prince, and I don't know how to salute. ”

This question frightened the two guys into looking at each other, and they didn't dare to distinguish half of the sentence for themselves, after all, they all knew that this third prince was a person who played cards out of common sense.

Just thinking about it, they heard Xia Zihe's voice sound again, lazily like a fierce beast grinding its teeth comfortably after eating enough food, "I don't know what happened in your restaurant, I scared the prince's maid and ran away, I heard that you deliberately went to find the prince's maid, did you want to find someone for the prince in order to please the prince, or did you want to borrow the prince's maid to cover up any crime for you?"

The girl holding the umbrella covered her lips and smiled, trying to ease the atmosphere: "The third brother don't worry about them, what can they know, aren't they all acting according to orders." It's just a maid, so why bother with the dignified Liuxian Restaurant?"

The two frightened restaurant guys saw that someone was speaking for them, and quickly nodded in agreement, but they forgot that the beast that was full of food was still a beast no matter how lazy it was. Xia Zihe nodded and said, "Yes, it depends on the master to beat the dog, the maid of this prince, is your restaurant a little lenient?"
