Chapter 41: Wolves are surprising
Zhao Qingyan took the abacus and gently dialed it a few times before writing a satisfactory number on the account, and only after collecting all the food and wine money did he send the guests to the door.
Xiao Lan, who was full of food and drink on the second floor, began to have fun, and began to play with the dice, insisting on pestering the prince and Miss Shangshu to accompany her.
"Three-three-six! Four, five, six! Shizi, you lost! ”
Wen Qiao on the wine table was a little drunk, and Gu Zhiruo next to him sat quietly with a smile, and it didn't take long for the maid to whisper a word in his ear.
"The master's people are already waiting at the door, young lady, let's go back as soon as possible."
It's only past noon now, and Daddy is anxious to let her go home, in fact, because the previous assassination caused a huge panic in Shangshufu.
Since this is the case, she also stood up with interest, and said goodbye to Wen Qiao and Xiao Lan before leaving.
After noon, the diners left the restaurant with their round bellies, and the apprentice in the back kitchen came to report the number of ingredients, saying that the supply was in short supply.
"That's all for today, the restaurant closes early."
Zhao Qingyan nodded with satisfaction, and announced the news with a light clapping of his little hand.
"Miss Zhao, please stop first." The little guy had been waiting outside the restaurant for a long time, and as soon as he saw Zhao Qingyan coming out of the restaurant, he ran forward without delay, afraid that he would lose the person if he took a step too slow.
Zhao Qingyan looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him, and asked with some doubts:
"Who are you?"
When the little girl heard Zhao Qingyan's question, she immediately made a gesture towards her again and replied:
"Miss Zhao, the villain is from Shangshu Mansion, Lord Shangshu invites Miss to go to the Mansion for tea, and I have something to discuss with Miss in detail." After speaking, the little guy also made a leading move, completely not allowing Zhao Qingyan to refuse.
As soon as Zhao Qingyan heard that the other party was from Shangshu Mansion, he didn't dare to refuse, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then please lead the way." ”
When the little girl heard that Zhao Qingyan agreed, she was very happy in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show an imperceptible smile. And Zhao Qingyan, she followed the little guy forward, while carefully looking at the little guy in front of her, she had never seen this person, she had been to Shangshu Mansion many times, but she had never seen this person, she felt a little uneasy, so she kept an eye in her heart.
The little guy walked forward with Zhao Qingyan, his steps were getting faster and faster, and Zhao Qingyan felt a little weird more and more. Suddenly, when she usually went to a main road in Shangshufu, the little maid led her up to the sheep intestine path next to the main road. Zhao Qingyan suddenly felt bad, she was a little hesitant to follow, at this time, the little girl seemed to notice her hesitation, so she turned around and urged:
"Miss Zhao, let's go quickly, don't make Master Shangshu wait for a long time."
Zhao Qingyan immediately weighed it, she smiled, and while keeping up with the pace of the little girl, she took off a sachet she was wearing, and then threw it at the entrance of the sheep intestine path.
After walking a short distance to the sheep intestine trail, he basically couldn't see anyone else, and Zhao Qingyan stopped again. She stopped where she was and shouted to the person in front of her, "Who the hell are you?" ”
The little guy in front of him heard Zhao Qingyan's question, and also found that the other party had already noticed his intention. He stood where he was, turned around and looked around, they had already entered the sheep intestine path next to the main road, this road was basically not many people passed, that is, no one came back to save Zhao Qingyan.
So, he showed Zhao Qingyan the smiling face that he had hidden before, he stretched out his hand to his waist, took out a short knife from his waist, and said to Zhao Qingyan:
"I underestimated you, and I immediately realized that I was not from Shangshufu, and I was really smart." After speaking, he took a few steps closer to Zhao Qingyan.
When Zhao Qingyan saw this situation, her heart was even more uneasy, she frowned, and asked:
"Since you really aren't from Shangshufu, and I don't know you, what do you want to do?" She saw that the other party was taking a few steps towards her, so she also subconsciously took a few steps back.
"What do I want to do? What do you say, what kind of tricks did you use to make your restaurant business so prosperous? With that, his pupils shrank, and a spark burst out of his eyes.
At this moment, a tall man with a handsome face appeared at the door of the restaurant, it was Wen Qiao. He slowly walked into the restaurant, and while looking at the business in the restaurant, he looked for Zhao Qingyan's figure. At this time, the shopkeeper saw him in front, and immediately walked over, bowed slightly to Wen Qiao, and asked:
"See the son, but the son is looking for someone?"
Wen Qiao saw that the person in front of him was the shopkeeper, so he hurriedly brushed his hand and asked softly:
"What about Zhao Qingyan? Why didn't you see her? After asking, he looked around the restaurant.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was a little puzzled: "Back to the world, Miss Zhao has just been passed over by someone from Shangshu Mansion?" She didn't inform you? ”
Wen Qiao felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and he spoke cautiously again, wanting to confirm: "The people from Shangshu Mansion are coming to her?" Have you seen who it is? ”
"Uh...... The villain didn't pay attention, but the man looked at him. The shopkeeper replied with some uncertainty. Wen Qiao heard that the other party was a little embarrassed, and his heart was even more drumming, if Zhao Qingyan was transmitted, he should say hello to himself, otherwise he would leave a message for others to bring him. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately ran towards the door of the restaurant, he vaguely felt that Zhao Qingyan was in danger, but I hope he was too suspicious.
When he got out of the restaurant, he pulled a vendor who was staying at the door of the restaurant and asked where Zhao Qingyan was going just now. Wen Qiao searched for the road all the way, and asked all the way about the people who might have seen Zhao Qingyan and them.
It wasn't until he came to the main road to Shangshufu that he was about to run to the main road, when suddenly, he was attracted by something next to him, so he turned around and walked towards the sheep intestine path. He saw a sachet at the entrance, so he squatted down and picked it up, this sachet was very familiar, and he immediately recognized it as Zhao Qingyan. He immediately ran towards the path.
Just as he was halfway through the run, he suddenly heard a woman's scream, and he sped up again. After running a few steps, I saw Zhao Qingyan, who was running in his direction at this time, and there was a man holding a short knife behind her.
After Wen Qiao saw it clearly, he immediately rushed up, protected Zhao Qingyan behind him, and stretched out a kick towards the man in front of him, the man was startled by the sudden flash of Wen Qiao, and was kicked in the chest without any defense. He was kicked back a few steps, and when he stood still, he glared viciously at the person in front of him.
He knew that he alone could not beat the person in front of him, he could kick himself out a few steps with just one kick, and he did not dare to take any chances, so he took out a whistle from his bosom, put it to his mouth and blew it. As soon as the whistle stopped, within a few seconds, many people with unkind faces gathered from all around.
