Chapter 42: Preparing to Go
After shopping for a while, Xu Jiao felt a little tired, and pulled Wu Zhan's sleeve to a restaurant on the side of the road.
Under the guidance of Xiao Er, the two sat by the window on the second floor.
"I like to sit upstairs by the window, I like to eat and watch the scenery." Xu Jiao smiled and chatted with Wu Zhan.
"I'm not picky about where I sit, I can do it anywhere."
Xiao Er leaned over and asked the two of them what they ordered.
Xu Jiao didn't ask, and said directly: "Just add four of your chef's specialty dishes and make a soup." ”
"Holo." Xiao Er immediately went to the back kitchen to order the menu.
Xu Jiao explained to Wu Zhan at this time: "I rarely come out to eat, so I can't give you any local recommendations, so it's better to eat their chef's specialty dishes." ”
Wu Zhan nodded: "The specialty dish must be the one that the chef thinks he is the best at making and the most delicious, and Miss Xu's method of ordering is also concise and clear." ”
Xu Jiao smiled, thinking that she was also satisfied with her simple and rude ordering method.
"Oh, by the way, don't keep calling me Miss Xu, just call me Gillian, since you know my surname, you only call me Miss Xu, so I have to call you Wu Gongzi."
Xu Jiao continued: "Miss Xu Wu Gongzi listens to Shengfen, I don't like it, you will call me Gillian in the future, and I will call you Ah Zhan." ”
Xu Jiao's speech was extremely fast, and she didn't give Wu Zhan the slightest chance to refute.
He nodded under Xu Jiao's threatening death look and agreed to her proposal.
The food in the restaurant, Xu Jiao felt that it was actually average, but Wu Zhan seemed to be quite satisfied with the food.
"The taste of this restaurant is very fresh and distinctive, and the food in my Qi country is rarely so fresh." Wu Zhan praised the dishes.
After the two finished eating, they planned to continue shopping, and Xu Jiao wanted to shop for jewelry and the like.
At this moment, an out-of-control carriage rushed towards them, and the driver shouted in panic: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”
Wu Zhan had martial arts in his body, so he pulled Xu Jiao aside first and flew into the carriage.
The coachman hurriedly pulled the reins, the horse could not stop, Wu Zhan came up and pulled the reins, got up and pulled back, the horse's front feet off the ground, neighed loudly, and finally stopped.
Wu Zhan jumped down at this time, and the coachman followed, although his legs were a little weak, he still stepped forward and insisted on thanking: "Thank you to this son, I don't know what's wrong with this horse, it was fine just now, but it suddenly went out of control, I couldn't pull it, but fortunately I didn't hit anyone." ”
The coachman thanked him and took the horse aside and cursed, and the horse looked a little aggrieved.
Xu Jiao had the experience of being frightened before, and felt that the horse was quite innocent, so she stepped forward to take a closer look at the horse's demeanor, worried that it would also go crazy because of something that had been drugged.
Looking at it, Xu Jiao's eyes were suddenly attracted by a wound on the horse's neck.
"Don't scold." Xu Jiao stopped the coachman and asked him to come and see: "Look here, your horse's neck is estimated to have been injured, and it will be in pain, so it will start to go crazy, don't blame it." ”
When the coachman saw the wound, his eyes turned red, and he carefully stroked the skin near the wound, "Which one kills a thousand knives, Xiao Hei, I'll give you medicine when I go back." ”
This horse was raised by him with a handful of and urine, and it is also his good partner who makes a living now, and now he is very distressed to see the horse injured like this.
Seeing that he no longer blamed the horse, Xu Jiao turned her head to look at Wu Zhan.
Wu Zhan became alert when he saw the wound, and looked around, although the people who assassinated him were masked, he believed that he could identify them from their figures.
The horse was indeed injured by the group, but they just wanted to test whether Wu Zhan's injury had recovered, so they took the opportunity to hide in the dark and did not show their heads after injuring the horse, and Wu Zhan couldn't see them at this time.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jiao stood with him curiously and looked around: "What are you looking at?" I'll take a look. ”
Wu Zhan retracted his gaze and shook his head to indicate that it was nothing.
The horse must have been man-made, and the most likely thing is that the gang found him.
Thinking of this, he was initially worried about whether it would affect Xu Jiao, this girl has been living so happily, he doesn't want to bring these bad things to her because of himself.
Fortunately, he is leaving tomorrow, and she should not be implicated, she is the daughter of Taishou, those people will not be so bold, and they will not dare to hurt the daughter of the official eunuch in other countries.
Xu Jiao didn't think much about it, and continued to pull Wu Zhan to shop for jewelry.
"What now, he looks like he's fully recovered from his wounds, and his skills haven't been affected in the slightest, what are we going to do next?"
A group of people joined in the alley.
"Let's go to the city first, leave two people to monitor him, when he is ready to go out of the city and return to Qi Kingdom, we will find a way to do it on the road. It's not good to make too much noise in the city. ”
Here Xu Jiao is buying a lot, although the workmanship of this folk thing is average, but the pattern is occasionally particularly novel, Xu Jiao is picking out in front of a jewelry stall.
Wu Zhan took a fancy to a hairpin with flowers and pedicles, although it was a little more gorgeous, but for some reason, he felt that it was very suitable for Xu Jiao.
Before she found out, Wu Zhan secretly paid for it.
Tomorrow is about to leave, buy this hairpin, give it to her later, and thank her for her kindness.
Wu Zhan said this to himself.
Xu Jiao picked and chose to buy five or six pieces of jewelry, all of which she thought were new, and the roadside stalls were not as expensive as those in the jewelry building, and the more she bought, the more affordable she felt.
Wu Zhan was light when he went out, and when he came back, he was covered with things, all of which Xu Jiao bought, and Xu Jiao stepped into the mansion door one step ahead of him.
The servants in the mansion hurriedly took things from Wu Zhan and rescued him in time.
Wu Zhan arched his hand: "Miss Xu, no, Gillian." Wu Zhan changed his words in time in Xu Jiao's glaring eyes.
"I'm going down to pack my things, I've been shopping for a day today, and you're tired, so go and rest, and I'll see you tomorrow when I leave."
Xu Jiao waved her hand to signal that she understood, turned around and continued to bounce back to her yard, she was still in a hurry to dismantle things.
Besides, who doesn't pack up her things, she wants to follow, and she has to follow to collect things.
"Go and call General Lin Hai." Xu Jiao didn't know how long she was going to go when she thought about it, so she should explain to Lin Hai.
Lin Hai soon came, and recently the princess transferred a large number of supplies to them, and the soldiers trained more and more diligently, and they were almost literate.
"I'm going to Qi Country."
Xu Jiaoyu was not shocked, and before Lin Hai could react, she added: "I want to go by myself, I don't take you, and I am not allowed to sue my father." ”
Lin Hai immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Princess, this must not be." You are the prince of our country, how can you easily say that you will go to another country, and you are not willing to bring someone to protect you. ”
