Chapter 22: A Journey to the City

At the end of May, Qu Hanyan used the power of Lian Shibuya to save Shen Xiao and the four people, temporarily placed them in the village courtyard in the western suburbs of Liancheng, and personally came to Chan'er's courtyard to inform her of the news.

"Your people are safe and sound, and you can rest assured that you are recuperating in Liancheng. Qu Hanyan said to Chan'er.

"Are they badly injured?" Chan'er asked hurriedly.

"Two of them were slightly more seriously injured, but neither of them was in danger of dying. I found someone I could trust to take care of them. ā€

"Thank you. ā€

"But your people are hard to convince, and they won't leave without seeing you. Qu Hanyan said with a helpless expression.

"Can you let me meet them? Just make it clear that I am not under the control of others, and they will be able to go back in peace. ā€

"I'm going to Liancheng on something, and it's not impossible for you to go along if you want to, but ......"

"What conditions do you have?"

"It's very simple, just ask the princess to pretend to be my maid. ā€

"The lord of Qugu is alone, how can he need someone to be around. ā€

"My trip to the 'Liufeng Building', although it is a restaurant, but the woman will inevitably be contaminated with dust, so it is also a place for people to linger. Staying in such a place, am I still swaggering with my wife who has not passed through the door?"

"What are you doing there?"

"The more you are in this dust, the more you can get a lot of hidden information. And there is a girl next to me, who just covers for me to avoid suspicion. ā€

"Got it, for the sake of you saving people, I just listen to you. ā€

Liufeng Tower, located in the night country, sounds like the same thing as the drunken phoenix building in Hengguo Beicheng, but this restaurant is not famous for fine wine, but famous for beauty. Qi Ying, a mysterious woman who appeared in the enthronement ceremony of the palace master of the Demon Palace in the past, is the boss of Liufeng Tower. In the past few years, Qi Ying's reputation has even been on par with Helian Jialu, and the saying that "there are grassland flowers in the north and immortal Qi Ying in the south" has gradually spread.

The middle restaurant part of Liufeng Building has two floors, the first floor is a separate guest seating, of which the lobby is directly connected to the roof of the second floor, the south side of the second floor is a corridor, and there are 12 private rooms on the west, north and east sides. The east courtyard is the residence of the restaurant shopkeeper, the second child, the cook, the handyman, the maid and others. The guest rooms in the west courtyard are divided into two courtyards, the first courtyard has two rows of rooms in the north and south wings, with three rooms in each chamber, and the second courtyard has three rows of chambers in the north chamber, the west chamber and the south chamber, each with two guest rooms. To the north of the restaurant and the east and west courtyards is the back kitchen part, and from west to east is the kitchen, courtyard and firewood room.

On the second day of the sixth lunar month, Chan'er arrived in Liancheng with Qu Hanyan and walked into the lobby of Liufeng Building, and immediately Xiao Er stepped forward to greet her:

"Prince Wang, you're here. ā€

"Hmm. Qu Han responded.

"Childe came over today, do you want to stay?"

"I haven't seen Miss Ruoyi for a long time, so naturally I have to stay for a few days. ā€

"This girl is ......"

"She's my maid, Yue'er. Qu Hanyan used Chan'er's former name and said.

"There are just two more rooms in the second entrance, and the small one makes people get the room ready. The villain led Gongzi and the moon girl to the private room on the second floor first, and Miss Ruoyi came over soon. ā€

When Xiao Er led the two of them to sit down for a short time, Ruo Yi came suddenly, and she was one of the women who followed Qi Ying during the enthronement ceremony of Zhan Duxiao. Chan'er looked at it slightly, and saw that her figure was good, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyebrows were smiling, and her eyes were bright.

"Did you miss me?" Qu Hanyan smiled and stretched out his hand towards Ruoyi.

"How can you not want to. Ruo Yi was dragged by Qu Hanyan's wrist and took him into his arms, "You haven't come to see me, I'm worried that you have forgotten me." ā€

"You stupid girl, have you ever heard of Xiao Biesheng's new love? If you haven't seen each other these days, how do you know how much you miss me, and how do I know how much I like you?" Qu Hanyan hugged Ruoyi with a doting smile on his face.

The young master and Miss Ruoyi chatted slowly, and Yue'er retired. Chan'er couldn't stand the flirting between Qu Hanyan and Ruoyi, so she pretended to be funny and said, taking the opportunity to hide outside and be quiet.

Ruo Yi saw Chan'er walk out of the private room, and said angrily:

"This girl is so beautiful. Childe didn't come for a few days, it turned out that he was accompanied by a caring person. ā€

"Yue'er is one of my girls. If you want to talk about confidants, who else but you. ā€

"I envy her for being by your side at any time. ā€

"As long as you agree, I will ask you from Boss Qi today. ā€

"You're used to saying things that coax me, but I'm still very happy to hear it......"

Outside the private room, Chan'er paced back and forth along the corridor on the second floor, unconsciously glanced south, and saw a shop in the opposite alley, with the words "Qingfeng Qianzhuang" written on the signboard.

Immediately, Chan'er lowered her head slightly, untied a bag on her waist, and took out the bright red wrench given by Liuchen. The scene of acquaintance with Xiuxi and Liuchen is vivid, and Liuchen's promise is still fresh in my memory:

"Yi, Wei, Gu, Heng, and Ye Five Kingdoms, if you pawn this finger 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. ā€

"I know. I don't want to see you unless I have to. ā€

"Really...... I'm leaving, hopefully indefinitely. ā€

Although there was still an intersection with those two people after that, after the battle of Zhongnan, Dingcheng was separated, and it has been a year and a half. Liuchen's identity was known to Chan'er during the dispute between the princes of the United States, and Chen's practice of giving up the throne and returning to the rivers and lakes was unexpected, but it was reasonable. I don't know how the two cousins are doing with their free and chic lives.

Chan'er is grateful to Xiuxi, if it weren't for Xiuxi's example, it would be difficult for Chan'er to protect herself in front of Qu Hanyan. Then, Chan'er put the bright red wrench back into the bag and tied it, and her heart was warm for a while.

~~~

Qu Hanyan lingered in Liufeng Tower, and five days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the sixth day, Fang mentioned the location of the western suburbs of the village to Chan'er. According to the estimates, the western suburbs of Liancheng are more than ten miles away from Liufeng Tower, beyond the scope of the insects to identify Chan'er, no wonder Shen Xiao and others have not found the location of Chan'er in the past few days.

Qu Han went out when he died, and led the way to the western suburbs of the village for Chan'er, and there were many delays on the way, and almost invited Chan'er to eat the famous snacks on the roadside of Liancheng.

"Try it, this bean paste rice cake is delicious. ā€

"This soup dumpling is the most famous local ...... in Liancheng"

"This bowl of almond tofu with sugar osmanthus is added, you should like it. ā€

"This fried tofu, don't look black, it tastes good!"

Qu Han chattered endlessly for Chan'er to buy and taste them one by one, and the two of them walked for half an hour in a short way. Chan'er saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart:

This man is moody, pressive when he is strong, and has a childish side when he is free. If it weren't for the hatred of the country and the family, maybe he would have been a humble gentleman with a clear breeze.

Qu Hanyan and Chan'er looked at each other, and immediately said:

"What kind of eyes are these, moved by a few things to eat?"

"I'm thinking that the real you may not look the same way you don't look like you do on a regular day. Chan'er said frankly.

"How long have you known me, dare you make such a conclusion. Remind you that I'm not a good person. Qu Hanyan said with a smile.

"This world is not black and white, and if you can get the support and support of all the people of Shibuya, you must have your kindness and righteousness. ā€

"Paper with ink dots will only get darker and darker, and it is impossible to return to white. Your words won't change me. "The so-called good and evil in the world are completely penniless, and Qu Hanyan is very resistant to what Chan'er said in his heart. A kind-hearted person will raise a tiger to harm himself, he just wants to do everything for revenge, and he can't tolerate his own indiscriminate kindness.

The two of them traveled to the western suburbs, and it was past afternoon. Before he got close to the village that Shibuya had set up here, he saw a figure waiting at the fork in the road.

Chan'er saw the figure of the person who came, and immediately quickened her pace and ran straight to the person. The man also strode forward, opening his arms to welcome Chan'er into his arms.

"Why are you here?" Chan'er was a little surprised and a little happy.

"Tang Yin and Long Youxuan came to borrow my little worm, knowing that they are coming to you, how can I still sit still. "This man is not Guan Shu, who else can he be.

"I heard you're hurt. Chan'er hurriedly looked Guan Shu up and down and said.

"Shen Xiao and Gong Fox were not lightly injured, and I and Yu Cripple only had a little skin injury. While Guan Shu was talking, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Qu Hanyan coming up, so he looked at Qu Hanyan and said to Chan'er, "This is the master of Lian Shibuya Qugu." Thanks to the care of the valley master, the two of them were well injured. ā€

"It turns out that this one is different from the other three. Qu Hanyan looked at Chan'er's reaction and knew that the man in front of him was extraordinary.

"In Xiaguan Shu, he is Chan'er's senior brother. Guan Shu took a step forward, intentionally or unintentionally protected Chan'er behind him, and said.

"It's the little pavilion master of the Mo Pavilion, it's really disrespectful. Qu Hanyan said with a slight bow, and then looked at Chan'er, "I will bring you to meet them according to my words, I think you have a lot to say, so I will go back to the restaurant first." ā€

Chan'er and Qu Hanyan glanced at each other and asked:

"How long are you going to stay in Liufeng Tower?"

"Returned in five days. Wherever you want to live these days, it's up to you. ā€

"Okay, June 12, I'll go back to Shibuya with you. ā€

"I believe that the princess will not miss the appointment. Leave. Qu Hanyan smiled faintly, and turned to leave after speaking.

"Is this family affair really settled?" asked Guan Shu from the side.

"Yes. Chan'er responded.

"Shen Xiao and Gonghu have been worried about you, but they are afraid that they will take you away directly when they see you. Tang Yin was going to come, but I asked him to stay in Moge to help my father deal with affairs, and robbed him of his name. The second lady of the Tuoba family is pregnant, and Feng Yuyang is inconvenient to leave, so she and Konglin stay in the country, but if there is anything on your side, they are ready to respond in time. Guan Shu paused, and then said, "If you don't want to marry into Lian Shibuya, you can go back to Moge with me, even if Emperor Xuan blames him, there is nothing to do about Moge." ā€

"Thank you for thinking so much about me. I can't go, though. ā€

"Are you thinking about the interests of the lonely country, or have you made some agreement with Ren Shibuya?"

"Both. ā€

"There are things that don't need to be rational, just follow your own heart. ā€

"It's just for peace of mind that I have to stay. ā€

"What is the reason for this, can you tell me?"

"I'll just tell you about it. Chan'er nodded and said, "Qu Hanyan is a descendant of the royal family of the Night Kingdom, and the throne of the Qu family was seized by Emperor Tao and Emperor Luo, in order to take back the court and destroy the enemies who stole the country, he needs a stable rear." With me in Shibuya, the various forces close to me have some scruples, so that they will not take advantage of the civil strife at night. ā€

"The people of various countries are in war and trouble, and you are doing this, not only for Shibuya, but also for the people of the world, right?"

"How many lives and deaths have been parted in the world in the past two years, and I can't bear to see so many casualties again. Once I myself have become the key to the life and death of others, I cannot let my choices affect the situation in other countries. ā€

Guan Shu asked himself what he would do if he faced such a problem. Although she couldn't empathize, Chan'er's decision Guan Shu could understand, so she only asked:

"What can I do for you?"

"Can you help me persuade those three to leave the Night Country?" Chan'er said.

"Shen Xiao's stubbornness, don't you understand. If you don't leave, he will definitely stay by your side. The other two are also very persistent. Guan Shu sighed and said.

"If Qu Hanyan can achieve his goal, our so-called marriage is a joke. But if things change, Xue Feng and Yu Jie are already in Shibuya, and I can't hold more handles in his hands. ā€

But you can't explain that to them, let alone that they won't be at ease with your situation or not. Guan Shu thought for a while and said, "I'm alone, it's hard to pull all three away, and there's nothing to be done about the hard and the soft." ā€

Chan'er listened to what Guan Shu said, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration:

"If there are three of them, that's fine. ā€

"You mean Xue Feng and them?"

"With the temper of the eldest brother, I'm afraid that you want to be one-to-five. Chan'er shook her head and said.

"Zhan Dusk and Blockage are all under Qu Hanyan's vigilance, and Tuoba Yabu is far away from the water and near the fire, who else can appear in a few days?"

"Chen and Xiuxi. Chan'er replied.
