Chapter Seventy-Six: Distinguishing the Important

Gu Qimei followed to the restaurant unhurriedly and sat down at the table selected by the guards. Romance first ~ with ~ dream ~ small ~ say ~ ั‰ww ~ mะตng ~ lฤ

Soon, the running hall came over to greet the new guests.

Gu Qimei heard the man ordering, listened to him talk to Runtang about the name of the dish, and then glanced at the guards beside her.

So, they drew a gourd and ordered a few things, plus a pot of locally produced rice wine.

The rice wine in Nanhua Town has always been sold well in various restaurants in the town, and anyone who arrives in Nanhua Town will order a pot.

Gu Qimei remained silent, observing the man's expression from a distance.

He had been watching the guests coming in from outside, and his eyes had turned to the street from time to time, but his hand holding the cup was tight, and he would soon notice it if he looked closely.

The strength of the man's knuckles was enough to show the restless and nervous emotion he was sitting there at the moment.

Gu Qimei saw it.

Look at the man's appearance, he seems to be waiting for someone!

She remembered that time when the eldest sister returned to the capital city and met this group of people on the street, could it be that the people in front of her were also waiting for Xilan's colleagues in the army?

Will it? Gu Qimei was silent, and then she raised her head and exchanged glances with the guards.

On this trip, the tacit understanding was good, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Questions about this person in the restaurant.

He was noticed by them on the street before, because Gu Qimei paid attention to his appearance, and then followed him to the blacksmith shop.

Right now, looking at that person's state, it doesn't look like he's very interested in eating well.

Looking at his situation, it seems that he has an agreement with someone and is settled in this restaurant in Nanhua Town!

Thinking of this, Gu Qimei looked around.

This is another busy time of the day in Nanhua Town, where business is only at noon, and it is gradually approaching the meal.

Usually at such times, there are a lot of people who come to the restaurant to drink, or the merchants sit down to rest and exchange the news they hear in the market, or the residents of the town bring their families to the restaurant to eat, and there are even aliens from afar. Sometimes you can see it in the store.

It is not as lively as the national capital, but because of the geographical location of Nanhua Town, the business of the restaurant is still good.

Outside the town is the official road, which directly connects the north and south!

At this time, there are only one or two empty tables left on the ground floor of the restaurant.

Quietly observing, Gu Qimei's curiosity in her heart was even greater. I had to figure it out.

She secretly said in her heart that since she had been following all the way, she didn't care about following her for a while!

She thought carefully about the news she had heard with the empress these days, and indeed she had never heard of anyone in the Sealand army on temporary leave.

Especially in this part of Nanhua Town, it is impossible to calculate the time that the Sealand army has passed for a long time.

The food and drinks soon came up. After a while, the man sitting at the table suddenly lifted up.

His expression and his movements are clearly telling Gu Qimei, maybe the target has appeared!

Following his line of sight and looking into the street, I really saw a thin middle-aged man hurriedly walking towards the restaurant!

He is about thirty or forty years old, and his clothes are no different from those of ordinary people in Nanhua Town.

Gu Qimei knew that the temperament of the people in the army was different from that of ordinary people, and that person obviously did not have the feeling she said.

The man walked quickly, bypassing the crowd of pedestrians in the street and quickly approaching this way.

He walked in a hurry and almost bumped into a young man passing by.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I was swept away. Just found the right place.

The man sitting at the table gestured, and the two of them quickly sat down together.

There were still drinks and food on the table in front of them, but the two of them only ate some very quickly, and they seemed to be hungry on the surface, but looking at the appearance of their hearts and minds written on their faces, they would definitely think that they had more important things to do.

They lowered their voices and started talking, although Gu Qimei knew a little riding, but her kung fu was good to have a famous guard by her side.

She didn't need to prompt, the other party was already holding his breath and trying to listen to the voice over there.

The restaurant is a bit noisy. It takes a lot of concentration and the distractions to hear what they're talking about.

The one with the scar on his face seemed to be a little excited, and he added gestures when he spoke. The person sitting on the other side is relatively calm.

The guard frowned and listened, extremely serious, and after about a quarter of an hour, he turned his head sideways to Gu Qimei and whispered: "They are all talking about trading, as if they are going to trade somewhere in the market for a while." โ€

"The person who came was responsible for leading the way, and the person we followed was the one who paid for it."

It's hard for him to listen quite carefully. Gu Qimei thought about it and basically sorted out the clues.

After a short while, Gu Qimei looked at the guards and asked, "Did you hear clearly what they were going to trade just now?" โ€

When the guard heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "They speak very secretly, as if they are trading something unseemly. โ€

The guard's expression was a little embarrassed: "However, the two of them seem to have deliberately avoided it. โ€

With that, the guard turned his gaze to the table again.

The conversation ended, and the two of them began to eat again.

It just so happened that the dishes on this table also came up, Gu Qimei saw that the two people hadn't left for the time being, and ate some hot dishes from the restaurant with the guards, as for the pot of wine ordered, none of them touched.

Because there are important things to do, ordering wine is just to look natural.

"Do you think you'd like to follow for a moment, or?" the guard asked.

Gu Qimei immediately answered: "Of course you have to follow, you have to see what they are trading?" โ€

The guard turned his head, and said in his heart that if it was really something unsightly, the female official beside the empress was only a teenager!

I don't know why, he has some associations when he sees such a scene, for fear that he will see something that he shouldn't see later, and he won't know Gu Qimei's reaction when the time comes.

The guard sighed and didn't say much for a moment.

He naturally had a lot more time in the army than Gu Qimei, and he had a lot of knowledge, so he had some worries in his heart, but Gu Qimei insisted on going, so he could only obey the order.

When the time comes, it really depends on the situation, and protecting Gu Qimei's safety is the most important task of his trip.

The guards had already heard about this young lady of the Gu family, although she had not been in the palace for a long time. But there is a general Gu who is guarding in the northland!

That's someone's own sister! He can still tell the difference.

For a while, the guard sensed the movement around him, and immediately retracted his mind, which was very taboo in the tracking mission. Concentration is the way to go, the guard secretly reminded himself.

Glancing over, I looked at the two people at the table, they were almost finished eating, and they looked like they were about to leave.

Wait for them to get up and check out and leave. Gu Qimei and the guards followed behind them again

Out of the restaurant, there is a lively street, when the sky is dark, and the range of sight is limited compared to the daytime.

In the past, they were following one person, but now there are two, and there are many people, and they are also planning to trade some hidden things, so they are bound to be more vigilant.

Luckily, those two people, their chosen trading location was north of Nanhua Town.

The restaurant where I stopped to eat and talk just now is on the bustling street. It's close to the market.

On this street, people come and go so busy that you can bump into strangers after walking a few steps.

The environment is so noisy, and on the other hand, it is actually a very favorable environment for the person who is stalking, except for being careful not to lose the object.

It is difficult for the person being followed to notice that there is a "tail" behind him, and who calls that there are so many people in the market that they can't even see it.

They may be lounging, merchants preparing to trade, hawkers who have come to set up stalls, or even people of different races.

Three teachings and nine streams. Where everyone has it, Gu Qimei and her attendant guards are not eye-catching at all

Ahead is the village we have been looking at for a long time.

As we got closer, it was still very quiet. There was no movement in the whole village.

At this hour, it should have been the time for every family to live and cook, and it stands to reason that we should smell the smoke of cooking when we are halfway there.

In such a dead village, my heart suddenly beat faster.

The tsundere boy slowed down, and at this moment his eyes looked at me, and he said in a deep voice to me: "Xiaoling, if you are afraid. Just waiting in the fields outside the village. โ€

"You don't have to come in with me."

The young man paused and added to me, his gaze stayed on my face: "Xiaoling, what is the situation ahead, you can wait for me to come back and tell you later." โ€

The boy looked at me, and when he said this, he simply stopped and stood there looking at me, as if waiting for me to make a decision.

I made eye contact with him, and my competitive spirit was aroused by him!

After thinking about it, I turned slightly sideways and glared at him, "With the eldest young master here, what am I afraid of!"

I said in a stiff tone: "The eldest young master's kung fu is so good, it is not a problem to deal with ordinary enemies, even four or five!" โ€

The corners of the boy's mouth suddenly moved, and a smile bloomed.

He coughed and said, "Xiaoling, I'm just asking, I've always thought you were cowardly." โ€

"Young Master, even if you are timid, you can't resist your curiosity," I looked at the tsundere boy and whispered, "Just follow and see, it's okay, if there is an ambush or something wrong, you have to be vigilant." "If something happens to you, I will definitely not find a way to the official road if I stay in such a remote place."

I looked around, I didn't mention the cliff I walked when I came, I haven't found a new way yet, if I really encounter an ambush, it's really difficult!

I reminded him, "Take care, young master!"

The young man's expression when he looked at me suddenly became angry and laughed: "Xiaoling, you are for this?!" โ€

"Otherwise, for what?" I looked at him in a daze.

"Forget it, I'll talk to you, really," the young man looked defeated by me, turned his head and took a step forward, "Then you just follow, don't be reckless." โ€

He said in a calm tone, "If there is danger, I will resist it in front of me." โ€

I was worried, so when we walked into the village, I looked like a great enemy with the tsundere boy.

It's because the situation here is so abnormal!

Think about a huge village, walking in it is silent, no matter how you think about it, it feels terrible!

When I entered the entrance of the village, I was startled when I saw the scene on the ground.

There was blood on the ground!

As my eyes swept everywhere, I immediately saw the birds lying in the grass, and I frowned and stepped forward to check.

I'm sure I'm right, the blood on the ground is fortunately not human.

Where did the people in the village go?

I thought to myself and turned my head to look at the tsundere boy.

He was silent and gestured for me to follow, and I followed him.

In front of him, even if he knew that most of the blood stains left on the ground were poultry raised by the villagers, he felt panicked.

Looking at this, can you not be afraid? If someone else sees it, they will definitely feel a chill in their backs.

The sky is getting darker, and the rooms look like beasts lurking there, as if they will come to life and open their mouths to swallow people in the next second!

My heart trembled, and I hurriedly moved closer to the direction where the tsundere boy was, and I was glad that I was not in a hurry, and there was the eldest young master of the Yuwen family beside me.

Don't say it, just thinking of him being on the side at this time makes me feel much better.

If someone suddenly rushed out of the shadows halfway, the tsundere boy would have resisted for me, didn't he say it himself?!

"What's next, young master?"

I followed him halfway through the village to a clearing in the middle of the village.

It looks like a place where the villagers use to meet on weekdays, and it may also be their threshing field.

I stopped, looked at the boy and asked seriously, "How do we know what's going on here?" โ€

"Where have all those people gone?"

"Also, young master, have you noticed, most of the dead are poultry, but I don't see cattle and sheep or anything like that."

Speaking of which, I also thought it was strange, and it was not impossible for someone to come and loot the village, but the current situation is a little different from what I expected.

I have a lot of questions, only the tsundere boy is with me in front of me, if I don't ask him, who should I ask?

The young man's eyes were still wandering around the rooms in the distance, as if he was thinking of a strategy.

At times like these, I was too amused to disturb people, so I had to take a few steps back to the side and sit down by a tree stump.

Don't interrupt the young master's train of thought, let him think about what we are going to do next!

Wait a minute, maybe in a while, he'll have the answer!
