Chapter 188: The First Stop Out of the Palace
In the morning light, on the streets of the national capital, the group of people who had long disappeared could no longer be found.
I know they should have been released by He Yanzhi.
It wasn't until I stood at the corner of the street and thought about the whole thrilling process just now that I realized that he was helping me.
The love that welled up in my heart was a little complicated for a while, and this was not the first time!
It probably won't be the last.
I'm worried that I've been indebted again and again, and when it's time to pay it back, what should I do?
I don't want to bear the hopes of others in my life, but many times I can't help myself.
I gathered my mind, carried the burden I was carrying, and slowly walked down the long street towards the intended destination.
My first stop was the tugging of the little bit of thought that hung before I entered the palace.
After I arrived in Sealand, except for Ji Jiu, I was the one who impressed me the most.
Thanks to Sister Li, they have taken care of them, and the journey has been a lot smooth.
Farewell to the grassland, I once came to the vicinity of the dart bureau to explore the situation, but in vain, for many days, I don't know if those people can make progress?
I was in the city, checked the terrain, first found a secluded and hidden place and changed out of my clothes, a plain dress that was not very conspicuous on the street, it was a protective umbrella for walking in the city.
When leaving the palace gate, the guards never had any suspicions, and those who came out of the palace to do business, if they did not want to alarm others, they should always prepare such a set of clothes to go out and walk, and when they returned from their work, they would inspect it again.
Because it is a well-known place in the national capital, and I have also come to it on purpose, plus the layout of Zhou Zheng in the national capital city gave me the direction, and I thought back to the landmarks I saw along the way when I came out with Ji Jiu several times before coming, so even I, a road idiot, did not spend too much time.
Less than half an hour. That's where the little shop is.
The time-honored noodle shop at the entrance of the dart bureau in the alley is still doing thriving business.
Not only the neighbors, but also many people in the game come to patronize.
I glanced around and picked a clean table to sit down.
At this hour, the streets are full of people, and it is no longer the morning market in the national capital.
It didn't take long to sit down. The shopkeeper came up with his usual kind smile and asked, "What does the girl want?"
"A bowl of sour bamboo shoot noodles." I replied.
The shopkeeper's gaze stopped in my face. Turn around and leave.
The steaming noodles were quickly placed on the table in front of me, and I took the chopsticks and tasted them, and they still had the same amazing sour and delicious taste.
I squinted. Xindao has the opportunity to ask the shopkeeper about the practice of this sour bamboo shoot, in my opinion, most of the reason why the noodles of the small shop are attractive is due to this bamboo shoot.
All food and beverage stores. To do it for a long time and the business is prosperous. There must be an exclusive formula that you can get your hands on.
The recipe has to be recognized by diners as good and acceptable to the general public.
The toppings in the bowl of noodles in front of you are the best proof!
While eating, the owner sent off two customers. He walked up to me and said, "Girl, where is the boy who came with you last time?"
The chopsticks I was holding in my hand were almost falling off, and my heart was going up and down. Eyes wide open as he looked speechless.
The shopkeeper smiled knowingly: "I asked more, I'm sorry."
He turned to leave. I quickly stopped him and said, "Wait."
I looked at the shopkeeper and lowered my voice, "I've only been here once, how can you remember me?"
The number of people in such a store every day is innumerable to the regulars in this area alone, and the capital city of Zealand is a prosperous place, with frequent business trips.
The sea of people is vast, how long can you stay after eating noodles, how many faces the shopkeeper has seen in a day, so many people add up, why should I let him remember!
I firmly believe in a sentence, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and at this moment, even here, my vigilance suddenly rose a lot.
Seeing my nervous look, the shopkeeper smiled apologetically again: "Although the girl has only been here once, I am very impressed with the boy who came with me."
"That's all?" I breathed a sigh of relief.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "That boy has been here a few times later, and each time he has come alone, and he has been sitting here longer than the average guest."
"After a few face-to-face photos, I think it's hard not to remember."
Season Nine? How many times has he been here since he came with me?
I think it's incredible, when he talks about the dart game and Sister Li, don't you want to get rid of it immediately?
Even if I joked, he had to grit his teeth and sulk, why did I leave, and he came here repeatedly?
Is Ji Jiu here to help me inquire about the news? He knew that I had always been concerned about the whereabouts of those people in the dart game, and he came to help me find out?
I couldn't eat for a while, frowned and looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Since I've been here many times, has that boy ever left a message?"
"Not really," said the shopkeeper, "except that when I saw him coming, he was not very happy, and sat alone and dreary."
"Well, this is the table where the girl is sitting right now, right on the opposite side."
The shopkeeper motioned to me, and the expression on his face looked quite regretful.
I subconsciously followed the direction he pointed. [,! Looking at the other side, the feeling in my heart is indescribable.
I stared at it for a few seconds, then lowered my head and said, "Okay, I know, you're busy."
The shopkeeper didn't leave, but was still in front of me, and I was surprised, "What do you want to say?"
The shopkeeper whispered, "The last time that boy came, he told me that he was leaving here, and that he would come back next time he had a chance."
"Did he really say that?" I was surprised, and instantly put down the chopsticks in my hand and asked.
This time, the shopkeeper nodded and said, "That's what he said, I really haven't seen him since the day he hit."
"Did he say where he was going?
"I didn't say, I didn't ask."
"Thank you."
I didn't want to eat any more, so I paid for the noodles and turned to leave, and as I walked through the alley, I met two men in dart clothes who were walking and talking.
I've been with Sister Li and them for some days. You can recognize the clothes at a glance, plus the temperament of the dart walker, you don't need to ask much to know who the other party is.
My heart moved, and I turned around and followed.
These two people seem to have just come back from the dart, and they still have the unique smell of the dart people, but the direction they walked was the street in the national capital, I guess they just came back. Prepare to eat and drink to satisfy your hunger.
Long-distance darts. Most of the time during the walk, I can only eat some dry food, and when I get to the national capital, it is not a bowl of sour bamboo shoot noodles that can be sacrificed to the five internal organs.
Good wine and good food. By the way, let's talk about what I saw and heard along the way.
The people in the dart game will work hard, and it is more difficult to stare at them than ordinary people, but fortunately, there are many people on the streets of the national capital, and the place where the other party is going is not unexpectedly a restaurant. It is also a densely populated place.
This has both advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that it is not easy to be discovered by the other party if you keep an eye on it. The disadvantage is that there are many people, and it is easy to lose them.
I didn't dare to be distracted for a moment, and followed behind my target, keeping me within what I thought was a safe distance. Follow the two men to a small two-story building along the street.
Sure enough, the place to go is the restaurant.
If you go to a private room, it will be difficult to listen to the news. I might choose to give up, but the good thing is that the place where these two people go is in the lobby on the ground floor of the hotel.
I saw them pick a table against the wall. I quickly made a judgment and sat down next door to them.
The other party ordered four dishes plus wine, which is not a small amount of food for two people.
I've seen the dishes on the table next to me, and this restaurant in the capital of Sealand seems to be closer to the northern restaurants I ate before I crossed, and the amount is not small.
The two of them drank and instantly opened the conversation.
When I came to greet me, I didn't hesitate to order two of the most common dishes, and asked for a bowl of rice by the way.
At this time, I was glad that I was in Sealand, because in the lobby on the ground floor of the restaurant, there were several young girls who were as lonely as me also came to eat.
If you sit like this in another place, it is likely that someone who will come up to disturb you is commonly known as "pick-up".
I have a disguised face on my face and I am wearing the most ordinary clothes, which are the confidence that I can sit here calmly.
If you really have a conversation, judge people by their appearance, why can't it be my turn now.
Right now, I'm safe!
"This trip, can it be smooth?"
The next table opened the conversation box and began to ask about the dart.
"Yuzhou didn't dare to go over, there was chaos in that place, and the brothers who met him said that it was better to take a detour."
One of them whispered.
Looking at it from my point of view, he said with a sudden expression on the one who was sitting: "Fourth, I said, why did you come back so late, it stands to reason that you should have come back a few days ago."
"What is the situation in that place in Yuzhou now? The horse farm over there has been a disaster."
With a sigh, one of them nodded and said, "I'm afraid that the business has been sluggish in the past few years."
"Are you going well over there?"
"It's okay, I heard something new on the way back"
"Wait," interrupted one of the people who was about to continue, "I was inconvenient to talk on the road before, and I was afraid that the people in the dart game would follow, but now it's fine."
"Let me ask you first, I met the big boss just now, but is there any news about Sister Li and them?"
"Before I left, didn't the big boss send the third child to the Yuzhou Inn to listen to the news?"
"You detour to Yuzhou, naturally you can't meet the third child, but the third child has been gone for so many days, don't you have a clue at all?"
When I heard Sister Li's words, my ears pricked up!
Leaning forward, trying to get closer to myself, but after making this action, I realized that I didn't need to do this anymore.
I listened intently, not wanting to miss a single word for fear of hearing it wrong!
"The big boss received a letter yesterday morning!"
(ps: Eating out, I just came home, and I almost forgot to send it :) (To be continued)
