Chapter Twenty-Five: Because of Them
It took half a month for the two to arrive in Yao. The streets are bustling with pedestrians, the shouts of vendors one after another, and children frolicking in groups. Compared with Jiang Guo, it is really a competition.
The two stopped at a tavern, gave Xiao Er some silver taels, and instructed him to feed him some good forage, and sat down at a wine table.
"Xiao Er, here are a few bottles of good daughter red and a plate of soft beef intestines with flowers, bright shrimp burning, sheepskin filigree and small heavenly crisp." In the two months since you traveled here, it would be unreasonable to say that you have not tasted many ancient delicacies. In addition to being easy to remember the names of medicinal herbs, Green Beads is also unforgettable for food.
"Okay, wait a minute, two guest officersβ" Xiao Er shook the rag on his shoulder, and walked towards the back kitchen in a loud voice.
"Demon, I'll treat you to this meal." Lu Zhu took out the heavy silver bag around his waist, threw it on the table, and spoke proudly.
"Oh? You are generous today. Lu Tiance raised his eyebrows, but he muttered in his heart, this girl is a dime a dime on weekdays, but now she is taking the initiative to treat her, these dishes are all a hundred taels per plate, and if she didn't pit him well, she actually took the initiative to treat him, isn't she giving him a set again?
"Isn't this for the sake of a good treat, you who have worked tirelessly to bring me out thousands of miles?" Lu Zhu said with a smile on her face, poured him a full glass of wine, walked to his side and handed it to him.
Lu Tiance coughed lightly, and only then did he drink all the wine glasses. I've always been damaged by this girl, and now it's really inappropriate to be so praised by her.
Green Zhu took advantage of the situation to put his hands on his shoulders, his left hand secretly took out a silver needle in his sleeve, and his right hand made a gesture to pinch his shoulder, but in the gap he touched his shoulder, and with a gentle push with his left hand, the silver needle had already submerged into his shoulder.
"Demon, am I okay with you?" Lu Zhu smiled evilly, but the action of pinching his shoulders in his hands did not stop.
I studied medicine, and I grasped the strength just right. Lu Tiance glanced at her with pleasure and said disdainfully: "Say, you are inviting me to dinner and pinching my shoulders, what do you ask me for?" β
"Can't I simply thank you for what you said? But if I do something sorry for you, will you blame me? Hehe~ Don't look at me like that, just assume. Lu Zhu said vaguely, and with a wary look, he had to smile awkwardly.
"Say, what have you done to me?" Lu Tiance grabbed the hands on his shoulders and sat down at the table with an angry and panicked expression. He didn't eat much of this girl's losses, and now I don't know what happened to her.
Lu Zhu pulled away the hand that was holding her wrist, pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I accidentally pricked you again." β
As he spoke, he lowered his head without confidence, not daring to look at his almost exposed face again.
"Why are you stabbing me again for no reason?" Lu Tiance took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down the turbulent waves in his heart, the last time he was stabbed was still in his heart, this was only a little more than a month.
"Because of them." As he spoke, Luzhu pointed behind him, his eyes motioning for him to look back.
Lu Tiance felt a little chill behind him, as if he had guessed something, and wanted to flee to the door when he mentioned the internal force, but he found that the internal force on his body was almost suppressed, and he couldn't do it at all.
Two middle-aged men walked up to him, the same two who had intercepted the green beads by the stream a few days ago.
"Tiance, you can't escape this time, go back with us quickly." The two men clicked on many important acupoints on his body again before sitting down with confidence.
"Second uncle, third uncle, why are you here?"
Lu Zhu looked at him like a good little sheep, and couldn't help laughing, but he was glared at by his vicious eyes, and he tried to calm down, but occasionally the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
"You let me go first, I will go back in two days, and I won't trouble the two uncles." Although he knew that this method would not work, for the sake of his happiness in the second half of his life, he still put aside his old face and said with a dead face.
"Don't be flamboyant, I won't let you go if I say anything today. Your father is really angry that he sent us here, and if you don't go back, I'm afraid he will come and arrest you himself next time. The second uncle on the side spoke openly, and there was no room for relaxation.
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Lu Tiance glared at Lu Zhu fiercely again, and his cold eyes seemed to be able to Ling Chi her: "Liang Luzhu, I remember you, I kindly brought you out, is this how you repay me?" β
Luzhu shrugged his shoulders, glanced helplessly at the two people sitting beside him, and whispered, "Wasn't I also forced?" β
"Miss Luzhu, let's not bother, let's take our leave first." Saying that, the two hugged their fists towards Luzhu, picked up Lu Tiance and flew to the door, but in the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.
To be honest, if she hadn't been caught by these two people that day, she wouldn't have betrayed the demon. Not to mention that he took her all the way to escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is no merit and hard work, but it is said that his good martial arts are also what she can rely on to hide in Yao Guo and even find her mother.
Now that he has been arrested and gone on a blind date, she is not easy to mix with a woman who doesn't even know light skills and has a lot of money on her. In the territory of Yao Kingdom, he is the only one who knows him......
Lu Zhu lay on the table dejectedly, exhaled heavily for a moment, helped himself up from the table, and didn't think about these troubles, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and attacked a large table of food......
In the prince's mansion, the green beads stopped at the door with the snow. The attendant at the door looked her up and down, frowned, and looked incredulous, but immediately changed into a smile and walked towards her: "It's Miss Luzhu, your small residence has been prepared for you." β
As he spoke, he took the little guy who stepped on the snow and handed it aside, and led the green beads into the door of the house.
Lu Zhu frowned and asked suspiciously, "He knows I'm coming?" β
"You're talking about the prince, the prince flew a pigeon two days ago, and told the little one to entertain the little one if he saw a woman dressed as a man who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a snowwalk, and asked the little one to tell the girl that he would come back in ten days, so that the girl could wait with peace of mind." The attendant replied respectfully.
Lu Zhu tugged at the corners of his mouth, feeling that he had already expected this. Estimating that the attendant just now saw that she was dusty and destitute, she couldn't believe that this was the person the prince ordered to receive. It is estimated that she dared to bring her into the house only when she saw the snow.
The attendant took her to a simple but luxurious house, and gave her a personal maid, Xiaobi. She liked this house, there were not too many exquisite decorations, and there was a sense of peace and tranquility.
The first two days were quiet, and Lu Zhu carefully studied the dossier about a dozen sects in the Central Plains in the room that received her a few days ago.
