Chapter 173: Interception
Concubine Wu's eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and she hurriedly begged the shopkeeper for mercy: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I, I really didn't mean to, just forgive me this time!" Otherwise, you can deduct these broken dishes and chopsticks from my salary! ”
"You're beautiful! Since you came to the store, the number of customers has dropped by 30%. Don't do things all day, I'm hiring workers, not ancestors, you go! It's like I've been taking you in for eight lifetimes, and don't let me see you again. ”
Li Qianxun looked at the shopkeeper's scolding and was heartbroken, and where is the shadow of Concubine Wu who was still high above in the past? After thinking about it, she still took out a piece of broken silver from her arms and threw it into the arms of the shopkeeper, and said coldly: "I will compensate for the broken dishes and chopsticks, as the saying goes, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and the shopkeeper should not be held accountable!" It is not easy for her to be pregnant as a woman. ”
The shopkeeper saw that the silver in his hand could not take care of what Concubine Wu had done wrong, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes, yes, yes!" Objectively speaking, yes! Then he turned to the shopkeeper who was standing on the side, and scolded sharply, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and bring the guest officer to the guest room?" ”
The shopkeeper immediately came back to his senses and said to Zichu and Li Qianxun: "Guest officer, please!" Guest officer, please! ”
After the shopkeeper withdrew from the room, Ying Zichu raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Qianxun and said, "Your Majesty is really merciful. ”
He obviously had something to say in his words, how could Li Qianxun not understand, he sat straight on the stool, poured himself a cup of tea, hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "I can't say that I am so kind, but I met an acquaintance, so naturally I will take care of it a little more." ”
"That's why Zichu said that Your Majesty is too merciful." Ying Zichu shook his head and poured himself a cup, but after the tea was in his mouth, he immediately pursed his lips and put down the cup and didn't touch it again. Obviously, this kind of folk tea is still difficult for him to eat.
Li Qianxun sneered, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid that a white-eyed wolf will come out when the time comes." ”
As soon as these words came out, she believed that Ying Zichu would definitely understand what she meant.
The appearance of Concubine Wu this time is really too coincidental.
Sure enough, Ying Zi raised his eyebrows and asked after hearing this: "In that case, why does Your Majesty bother with this?" ”
"We want to get paid from the bottom of the kettle, they want to make a profit, and if we don't do something interesting in between, how can I survive the long time on the road?" Li Qianxun said interestingly, looking at Ying Zichu.
Then the two looked at each other and smiled, and only the two of them knew what it meant.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought the meal to him.
"Guest officer, this meal is all ready, do you have any other instructions?" The shopkeeper said respectfully.
Li Qianxun glanced at the simple meals on the table, and said to the shopkeeper: "Don't bother too much, just prepare the bath water for us." ”
"Okay guest officer, the little one will step back first."
With that, the shopkeeper left the room. Li Qianxun was not polite, after a day of carriage, she didn't know what to eat, although the meal was simple, but her stomach still gave up her appetite very face-savingly.
However, when her chopsticks just wanted to pick up the vegetables, they were stopped by Ying Zichu with chopsticks, she looked at Ying Zichu quite unhappily and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Ying Zichu smiled without saying a word, picked up the dish that Li Qianxun wanted to clip and walked to the side, "brushed" a few times and poured most of the dish into the vase, and then walked back, put the dish back in its place, and said to Li Qianxun with a mouth shape: "Don't touch this plate." ”
Smart as Li Qianxun, how could he not understand, Ying Zichu actually saw that there was a problem with this dish, since Ying Zichu's other dishes were not taken away, that means that there was no problem with other dishes, so he was no longer verbose, and as soon as the direction of the chopsticks turned, he quickly picked up the food and ate it seriously.
Ying Zichu also ate it, and caught a glimpse of a figure passing by in the corner of his eye, so he said: "Your Majesty, Nie Chen must not have imagined that he was setting up an ambush, but he didn't know that there were elite soldiers behind us. ”
Li Qianxun looked up at Ying Zichu suspiciously, not understanding why he suddenly said this. Moreover, where did they get their elite soldiers? There are pursuers.
So Li Qianxun ignored Ying Zichu's measures and continued to eat seriously. Ying Zichu looked at her reaction, shook her head helplessly, but the corners of her mouth were still doting, and after sandwiching a chopstick dish into her bowl, she continued: "The people sent by Nie Chen must not be weak, but they must not have imagined that we are just luring the snake out of the hole!" Scold! The five thousand elite soldiers behind him are more than enough to deal with them. ”
Ying Zichu said this thing, if Li Qianxun hadn't understood what was going on, then she would have lived in vain, after swallowing the food in her mouth, her voice was a little cold, and she said, "Hurry up and eat!" Rest well, they won't let go of this opportunity tonight, and we'll leave in the middle of the night. ”
Ying Zichu looked at Li Qianxun and said indifferent words with a smile on her face, if the people guarding the door saw her expression, no matter how stupid they were, they would understand that Li Qianxun was clearly lying! Unfortunately, the man could only hear the conversation between them.
Li Qianxun didn't lie, she really got up in the middle of the night and got into the carriage with Ying Zichu. Soon after they got up, there was some movement in the inn.
Li Qianxun sneered, didn't mind the actions of these people at all, put up the whip and ran away. Not long after the carriage left the inn, a figure appeared on the official road ahead. The corners of Ying Zichu's mouth hooked, and he said to Li Qianxun with a smile: "Your Majesty, you see that the fish has been hooked." ”
Li Qianxun smiled back, and when he was about to hit the figure, he immediately tightened the reins and let the horse stop, the smile on his face was gone, and he said in a cold voice: "Why are you here?" ”
The person who came was Concubine Wu.
Concubine Wu looked at Li Qianxun with tears in her eyes, looking at Li Qianxun with a pitiful look, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start for a while
Li Qianxun made an impatient look and said, "If there is nothing to do, get out of the way, I still have to hurry." ”
Concubine Wu's face became anxious, she knelt on the ground with her stomach in her hands, and said with tears in her eyes, while kowtowing to Li Qianxun, and said, "Please take pity on the people's daughters and let the people's daughters go back to the palace!" In the days when these beasts are not as good, the folk girl has had enough, and please Your Majesty for the sake of the folk girl who used to be the concubine, and the folk girl will die in the palace! Even if she doesn't have a name, as long as the maiden's three meals a day can be fed, the maiden will definitely repay His Majesty's kindness by being a cow and a horse. ”
