Chapter 16: Border County Encounters
At the time of the unitary, Chan'er was alone in the private room on the second floor of the restaurant in front of a whole table of sumptuous dishes, and the green veil on her face had been removed. I saw www.biquge.info her pick up the chopsticks and put them down, pick up the chopsticks and put them down......
"Alas...... Why is Guan Shu so slow. Chan'er muttered to herself.
After four years of getting along day and night, Chan'er has regarded Guan Zhou and Guan Shu's father and son as the closest people, and at this time she couldn't bear to eat alone, but waited patiently for Guan Shu to come back.
Fortunately, before Guan Shu left, he ordered Xiao Eryitong, and no one came to urge or disturb him except for serving food and adding tea at this hour. The only thing that is unpleasant is sitting in the private room or you can hear the footsteps going back and forth in the hallway, as if you are going to the next room.
Chan'er recalled that when the people next door came, she had vaguely heard that it was a team of many people, and they ordered so many drinks and dishes that Xiao Er ran back and forth more than ten times.
At the same time, the next room-
A handsome and somewhat seductive man of about twenty-five years old was sitting alone at a table, "scolding" Fang Xuan at a table full of no less than twenty dishes. Six people stood respectfully beside him.
At this time, a young man with a sharp eyebrow walked towards the room, and when the two people guarding the door saw him, they saluted, and one of them said respectfully:
"Master Chen, the eldest prince has been waiting for a long time, please come in. β
"Hmm. The young man nodded indifferently, then pushed open the door of the private room and entered.
"Are you back?" The man sitting at the table and called the "Great Prince" was Xiuxi, the eldest son of Emperor Jing of Yi Guo, when he saw someone coming, he raised his eyes and glanced at it, and then frowned, "Why are you alone?"
"It's not you yet, it's still so fanfare to come to a small border county, and you don't hide your whereabouts at all, I just picked someone to bring you back, and I found that there were several greasy worms behind me. The young man's personality and appearance did not match at all, and he looked very afraid of trouble when he spoke, and his tone was a little disgusted.
"Which greasy worms?" asked Xiuxi calmly. As the person most likely to inherit the throne in Yi Kingdom, he was not angry when he was counted down by a young man in such an unkind tone. And the few people around him were still expressionless, as if they didn't feel anything wrong.
"The two 'black and white impermanence' under Shu's right, as well as the border county and county Chengfeng Napu. β
"Oh. β
"Do you know how many laps I've walked around this little place before I get rid of your 'prey'!"
"Yes, Liuchen, what can I do without you?" Xiuxi looked at the young man with a pitiful expression.
"Don't treat me like I do to those people. This time, the young man named Liuchen frowned.
"Didn't they come here with you?" Xiuxi smiled and continued to get to business.
"Unfortunately, it's downstairs. As long as you have a strange person here, or a strange noise, they will definitely find a way to break in. β
"It doesn't matter if it's black and white, but that's the ...... It's the father's man. β
"What are you going to do?"
"Go and call Xiao Er over. Xiuxi didn't answer Liuchen, but instructed one person beside him.
"Yes. β
After a while, the man led Xiao Er over.
"This master, what do you command?" Xiao Er flattered a thousand.
"Is there a young woman in this restaurant?" asked Xiuxi.
ββ¦β¦ We only provide room and board...... Feng Juncheng has always been very strict. Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and replied with a little stammer.
"I'm asking you, no matter who there is in this whole restaurant, there are no women. Xiuxi looked at Xiao Er's panicked expression, and was even more helpless about Feng Napu.
"Are you asking this?" Xiao Er was obviously relieved, and he didn't stutter anymore, "Our proprietress is forty years old this year, and there are two female guests downstairs, who are about thirty years old. β
"Isn't there anything younger?"
ββ¦β¦ Back to this master, there is no more. Xiao Er already remembered the girl next door with a green veil and a beautiful figure, but since she received two pieces of silver, she should block the trouble for others, so she chose to hide it.
"Forget it, you go down. Xiuxi waved his hand in disappointment.
~~~
Over there, Xiao Er had just stepped out of the door next door and walked past the private room where Chan'er was, but Chan'er suddenly pushed the door open. Before Xiao Er could react, he heard Chan'er's voice like a song:
"Xiao Er, there are two dishes that are cold, can you help me get them hot?"
Chan'er's voice is not high, even very soft. But the door next door is in a state of tentative closing...... So Xiuxi heard it very clearly. Even if he couldn't hear it, the two men outside the door would have reported it to him if they heard it.
So Chan'er's eyes showed Xiao Er's instantly blue face. However, before she could show any surprised expression, Xiao Er quickly ran downstairs.
Just when Chan'er felt inexplicable, Xiuxi and Liuchen walked out from next door one after another. Xiuxi waved her hand, signaling the two outside the door not to salute, and then walked straight to Chan'er.
"This girl, can I ask you a favor?" Xiuxi said politely.
"What?" Chan'er's eyes flashed, and she looked at this richly dressed man who was a head and a half taller than herself, and couldn't help but be curious about his identity.
"......" Xiuxi only noticed that Chan'er was covered with a layer of green veil at this time. However, although the green yarn can cover most of her face, it can't cover a person's eyes, let alone her figure. As far as these eyes are concerned, Xiuxi has already scored eight points for Chan'er in her heart, not to mention ......
"Xi?" Liu Chen whispered from behind.
"Hmm?" Xiuxi turned his head and glanced at Liu Chen, only to see that Liu Chen's eyes flashed with incomprehension, and for a moment he was a little surprised-he could actually stare at a woman for so long......
"If it's all right...... Chan'er said, closing the door.
"Wait a minute. Xiuxi came back to her senses, returned to her normal expression and said, "I'm in some trouble and want to ask the girl for a favor." β
"There are so many of you, what do you need me to help you with?"
"It's something they can't do...... I have some food and wine there, and I would like to ask the girl to talk about it in detail. β
ββ¦β¦ All right. Chan'er was going to refuse, but after thinking that this might be an opportunity to find out about the situation in the border county, she nodded.
"Please. Xiuxi personally guided Chan'er and took her back to the next room.
"Aren't they all sitting?" Chan'er asked, looking around, her gaze sweeping over the seven people, including Liuchen.
"Chen, aren't you sitting?" Xiuxi looked at Liuchen.
"I'll stand and observe outside......" Liu Chen said lightly, glancing at Chan'er intentionally or unintentionally, and then handing Xiuxi a look.
Xiuxi understood, nodded almost invisibly, and then said to Chan'er:
"Forget it, let's get down to business. β
"Hmm. β
"We are not from the border county, we are from Yidu. β
"Oh. β
ββ¦β¦ I...... I hope you can pretend to be my lover. β
"Huh?" Chan'er was taken aback by Xiuxi's straightforward request.
"That's a long story...... My family is also a family with status in Yidu, so my marriage has to be decided by my father. Not long ago, he got engaged to me, but I didn't want to...... So I escaped from home. I just received news that the people sent by my father have chased here. As long as the girl is willing to do me this favor and let my father give up, Xu Xi will come to the door one day to thank him. β
When Chan'er heard this, she thought about it in her heart: his surname is Xu, and he is a family with status in Yidu, is he the queen's maiden nephew? But how credible are his words?
"I really want to help my son with this, but I already have a fiancΓ© who is married to me, I'm sorry......" Rather believe it, Chan'er didn't want to have anything to do with Emperor Yi, so she made up a reason.
"No, I took the liberty of it. Xiuxi said, "Then I'll send the girl back." β
"Childe, please stay. Chan'er said and stood up.
However, at the moment when Chan'er turned her back and walked out of the door, Liu Chen suddenly stretched out her hand like lightning and clicked on the two acupoints behind her.
"Girl, offended. Liuchen's voice was still indifferent.
"......" Chan'er was shocked and annoyed at this moment. What was surprising was that Liuchen's speed was no less than Guan Shu's, and his annoyance was that he was negligent for a while and fell into a dilemma.
"Actually, if it weren't for the situation, I wouldn't like to use this method......" Xiuxi sighed a little resentfully, and then ordered, "Go and ask Mr. Feng for them, you should know what to say." β
"The subordinates understand. β
"Just a moment, just let him witness it once...... Xiuxi didn't know whether to soothe Chan'er's emotions or strengthen his will, and as he spoke, he put his hand on Chan'er's cheek.
"Don't!" Chan'er couldn't help but open her mouth when she saw that Xiuxi was about to take off her veil.
ββ¦β¦ Can I only show it to your fiancΓ©?" Xiuxi muttered, "I see. β
Xiuxi said, he really didn't continue to move, but fell silent and looked in the direction of the door, as if he was afraid of the people who were coming.
~~~
As soon as the man sent out by Xiuxi walked down the stairs, he recognized that the two people sitting at a table against the wall were Hei Wu and Bai Chang under the right hand of Shu, the eldest son of Shu, that is, the "black and white impermanence" in the mouths of Liu Chen and Xiuxi. And the gray-haired, old man in civilian clothes sitting across from them was the border county Cheng Feng Napu who deliberately concealed his identity.
The man stepped forward quickly and said to the three of them:
"Lord Feng, the eldest prince is sending his subordinates to look for you, but it just so happens that you are downstairs. Please tell us a little bit upstairs. β
"The eldest prince came from afar, but the minister failed to take over, which was rude to the minister. Feng Napu saw that the man's whereabouts had been discovered, but his expression did not change at all, but he said slowly while standing up with Hei Wu and Bai Chang.
The man led the way to the second floor for the three of them, paused a little in front of the private room where Chan'er was originally located, and said in a low voice:
"Please also ask a few people not to reveal the identity of the eldest prince in their words later. β
Feng Napu, Hei Wu, and Bai Chang nodded although they felt that the man's request was a little strange.
The man continued to walk to the front room and made a "please" gesture to the three of them.
At the same time, several people in the room had already noticed the movement outside. At the moment when the man stopped, Xiuxi in the room suddenly turned back to face Chan'er, wrapped her right hand around her waist, and held her with a slight rotation, and the positions of the two were reversed - Xiuxi was facing the direction of the door, and Chan'er was facing away from her.
Immediately afterwards, Xiuxi glanced at the door again, and as if she had finally made up her mind, she leaned down and kissed Chan'er on the lips. The lips of the two were pressed together with a layer of green yarn at intervals.
Chan'er didn't have time to panic, and a few intermittent images suddenly flashed in her mind. This kind of scenario...... It seems like it happened a long time ago, and this feeling is ...... It's familiar. It's just a vague figure under that month, who is it?
The next moment, when the door was pushed open, Chan'er woke up from her memories, but Liuchen's point made her unable to move even if she wanted to struggle.
At this time, Xiuxi seemed to have just noticed someone approaching, and gently pushed Chan'er away about five inches, but still imprisoned her in the crook of her arm, and said to the visitor with a slightly embarrassed expression:
"Mr. Feng, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon......"
The expressions of Feng Na Pu, Hei Wu and Bai Chang were even more embarrassed and shocked. From the angle of the three of them, you can just see Chan'er's back and half of the silhouette on the right, but you can't see her veiled. However, although they were not on the front, the three of them were sure that the person in front of them was indeed a woman. And Xiu Xi ...... Before they came in, they kissed a woman deeply.
"......" Rao is Feng Napu is shrewd and capable, and he can't speak when he sees this scene.
Mr. Jean smiled...... At this time, we should take business seriously, how about we talk about it in another place?"
"Obey the childe's orders. Feng Napu finally found his voice back.
"Chen, take care of her for me. Xiuxi pushed Chan'er to the table and sat down, first glanced at Liuchen and gave a command, then bent over to Chan'er's ear, and said in a voice that was not loud but loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, "Wait until I come back...... Don't be angry, okay?"
Chan'er knew that as long as she wanted to, she could completely ruin the play that Xiuxi had been working hard for a long time, but it really didn't do her any good to expose him at this time...... Coupled with the fact that Xiuxi's exhaled breath made her ears itch, and the words she said were as sincere as those spoken to the true lover (separator) person, she couldn't help but be in a trance for a while.
"Let's go. Xiuxi took the lead in turning around and walking out, Feng Napu, Hei Wu, Bai Chang and the eight entourages also left, leaving only Liuchen and Chan'er in the room.
~~~
When the footsteps of the group were far away, Liu Chen suddenly stepped forward and unlocked Chan'er's acupoint. Chan'er looked at Liuchen with a hint of puzzlement in her eyes.
"That's what Xi means......" Liuchen explained to her.
"But he clearly said that I would wait for him ......"
"That's for somebody else. β
"You and he can understand what the other person is thinking without words?"
"In the 25 years since we were born, we have grown up almost inseparable. Isn't that look in his eyes hard to understand?"
ββ¦β¦ Your good show has been seen by those who should see it, should I thank you for not killing me?" Chan'er suddenly remembered the behavior of the person in front of her who "aided and abused" after a short period of surprise, and said mockingly.
ββ¦β¦ Actually, I didn't want to let you go. But since it is Xi's meaning, I will not disobey it. What's more, you didn't just help Xi, but also indirectly helped me......"
"I'll help you?"
"Without Xi, I wouldn't be where I am today. My everything, even my life...... It's all based on him. So we owe you two favors. β
"Forget about favors......"
"But I'm not used to owing people anything. Besides, how do you know if one day you're in trouble and need help?"
"......" Chan'er thought of the background of Emperor Xu Xiyi's relatives, and had a trace of hesitation.
Liu Chen caught Chan'er's hesitation, so he took out two agate wrenches from his sleeve, one bright red dotted with a little snow white, and the other was translucent amber throughout.
"As long as you are in the territory of Yi Country, no matter what trouble you encounter and need help, you can show an amber wrench to any branch of the Qianzhuang, and half of the people in the Qianzhuang are at your disposal. Only once, though. Liuchen stretched out his hand and handed the two wrenches to Chan'er and said.
"Hmm. Chan'er took it and nodded immediately.
"As for the bright red one...... Liu Chen paused for a moment before continuing, "Yi, Wei, Gu, Heng, and Ye Five Kingdoms, if you pawn this wrench in any money bank, I will have a way to know within three days." I'll go there as fast as I can. But remember, don't be a victim unless your life is at stake. β
"I know. I don't want to see you unless I have to. β
"Yes...... Liuchen chuckled and turned around, "I'll leave now, I hope it will be indefinite." β
"Wait a minute!"
"What else?"
"Even if it wasn't my intention, it was just a gesture...... Why did you promise me so much?"
ββ¦β¦ Because at that time, you let Xi have a moment to find himself. Liu Chen said something incomprehensible.
"I don't understand ......"
"There's no good in being too curious. Let's go. Liuchen waved his hand with his back to Chan'er, and then stepped out of the door.
