Chapter 116: Distress
"I said, why is the food in this restaurant getting more and more difficult to eat?" Mingyuexi used chopsticks to flick the dishes in front of her in disgust, muttering to herself.
However, I didn't come to this Hongyue Building for half a month, and the amount of dishes was actually reduced a lot.
Xu Mubai saw Mingyuexi's little entanglement, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and smiled, "Do you want to change one?" ”
Mingyuexi shook her head and refused, this place is the most delicious drunken roast duck in Hongyue Building, if you can't eat this kind of food in Hongyue Building, then you can't taste it anywhere else.
Xu Mubai saw Mingyuexi shaking his head and refusing, and without saying a few words, he picked up the wine glass from the red lacquered wooden table and raised it in front of Mingyuexi.
"Miss Ming, I toast you."
"Come!" Mingyuexi raised her wine glass without twisting, and after clinking glasses with Xu Mubai, she drank it all.
"Good wine!" Mingyuexi put the cup heavily on the table, and then used chopsticks to pick up a piece of duck meat and handed it to Xu Mubai's bowl.
"This is the signature dish in the Hongyue Building."
I think that at the beginning, when Gu Yanbai entertained her, she ordered all the dishes here, but this drunken roast duck won her heart.
Xu Mubai took a deep look at Mingyuexi, then picked up the duck piece and put it in his mouth, he chewed it a few times, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
"Keep drinking!" Seeing this, Mingyuexi smiled, raised the wine glass in her hand, and saw the bottom of another glass.
Seeing that she drank so happily, Xu Mubai also drank one cup after another.
Although the wine is not strong, the greedy drinker suffers bitterly.
After a few back and forth, Mingyuexi's face was flushed.
"Miss Ming, I see that you are very drunk, you might as well stop here today."
Xu Mubai's face was also flushed, he glanced at the little guy next to him, and the little guy closed the door of the box knowingly.
In this way, no one should see Mingyuexi's drunken state.
After all, in the daughter's family, face is the most important.
"I'm not drunk!" Mingyuexi raised her wine glass high, this bit of wine is nothing to her, not to mention that the ancient wine is pure and not high, as a future person who wanders around the dinner, she is not a problem.
Mingyuexi played with the wine glass in her hand, looked at Xu Mubai with a dazed face, and laughed at him for the fact that the amount of alcohol was really bad.
Just when Mingyuexi and Xu Mubai were arguing about who was drunk, a man in brocade clothes in the box next door raised his glass and drank alone, his expression was secretive.
A sound of the door opening pulled the man's thoughts back.
"Back to Your Highness." Liu Yuan bowed his head: "The lowly party just inquired, and in the box next door are Lord Xu and Mingyuexi, who was brought back to the Hou Mansion by Gu Xiaohou. ”
"Oh?" Xia Nanfeng held the cup of tea and shook it.
"Do you hear them talking about anything?" As soon as Xia Nanfeng heard the name of the little marquis Gu Yanbai, he became interested.
I don't know, how Gu Yanbai felt when he saw his woman and other men talking happily in the wine shop.
However, he then thought about it again, could it be that the relationship between this Mingyuexi and Gu Yanbai is not good, but the rumors are amplified?
"Let's go again." Xia Nanfeng closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and bathed in the sunlight refracted from the window.
The man in black received the order and slowly retreated outside the door.
Xia Nanfeng rubbed his chin with one hand, his eyes were extremely calculating.
"It's not early, I'll go back first." Mingyuexi glanced at Xu Mubai, who was confused, and knew that he was very drunk, so she called the little maid to come in and help him downstairs.
Walking to the corner, Xu Mubai turned around and looked at Mingyuexi quietly: "Miss Ming, you rejected me this time, but for the sake of Gu Yanbai?" ”
Mingyuexi was stunned by his sudden words, and after a while, he waved his hand and pretended not to care and said to the little guy beside her: "Your master is drunk, take him back quickly." ”
"Miss Ming, you just need to remember that my heart for you will not change." After saying this, Xu Mubai smiled indifferently and left.
"I see." Xia Nanfeng, who was leaning on the door of the box, guessed some eyebrows, he smiled evilly, and thought about it.
Now that you know the relationship between these three people, things are much easier.
He put his hand to his mouth and blew a whistle, and three men in black appeared in front of him unconsciously.
On the way back, Mingyuexi kept thinking about what Xu Mubai said in Hongyue Building.
Her mind was full of thoughts.
Now she has a very comfortable life, cultivating merit points every day, solving cases, saving people, even if she is busy every day, but she always feels a little empty in her heart.
After a moment, Mingyuexi shook her head: "Forget it, I don't want to." ”
As long as she lives the moment, she doesn't need to worry about these unnecessary things.
Thinking like this, he hummed a little song and walked forward, and when he reached the corner of the alley, three black-clothed people suddenly appeared and rushed to the front of Mingyuexi.
Before he could summon Zhu Bajie, Mingyuexi had already been captured by the man in black, and he couldn't even use his flying skills.
"Who are you?" Although Mingyuexi was shocked, she was not flustered.
She had to find a way to stall for time so she could find someone to save her.
The leader of the men in black forbade the sword and stabbed at her.
Just when Mingyuexi thought that his life was going to be explained here today, suddenly a person appeared in the sky, one flew up, kicked the sword in the hand of the black-clothed man who was the leader and flew out, and after landing, he was vigorous, and went around behind the two black men who grabbed Mingyuexi, and a fixed point fixed the two in place.
Mingyuexi, who had survived the catastrophe, took a breath, then turned around and looked at this life-saving benefactor.
"Thank you for saving your life, dare to ask who is the hero's surname?"
"In Xia Xiayi, I happened to pass by here today, and it was just a gesture to be able to save the girl." Xia Nanfeng chose to hide his identity.
Ming Yuexi nodded after hearing this, and then clasped her hands into fists and expressed her gratitude again.
Xia Nanfeng saw that Mingyuexi had already taken the bait, and was willing to continue to pretend: "Girl, don't walk this side street alone, I know a little martial arts, I might as well send you to a safe place to leave, it can also be reassuring." ”
Mingyuexi wanted to refuse, but when she saw Xia Nanfeng's righteous and heroic appearance, she didn't refuse.
She was also embarrassed to summon Zhu Bajie all the time.
"In that case, thank you hero."
So, under Xia Nanfeng's mutual send-off, Mingyuexi was sent to the Hou Mansion.
"The girl lives here?" Xia Nanfeng deliberately pretended to be surprised, but in fact, he already knew it in his heart.
Mingyuexi nodded, then bowed her head and clenched her fists, and thanked her for saving her life.
The moment she turned around, Mingyuexi's legs twitched baldly, and the whole person accidentally fell down.
