058. Serendipitous encounters
"Xiao Ran, I'd better get straight to the point! You know, I'm going to marry into Yunguo and my relatives in a few days, but I'm very reluctant to let you go, so ······ Are you free today? How many days are the three of us hanging out together? ”
"Huh? Three? Ling Ran was stunned for a moment, but then after thinking about it, he understood a little, and couldn't help but look at Chu Ningxiang in surprise, "You guys ······ so quickly?" ”
However, Chu Ningxiang frowned with a somewhat complicated expression, "Alas, don't mention it, I was about to go and talk to my father about this, but my father summoned me first and said that he wanted to marry······ I'm sick to death now! You're going to stay with me! ”
"Hey, I didn't say I wouldn't go with you. Then I'll pack up my things first! By the way, when do you go? Ling Ran asked with a smile.
"You can leave when you put it away. In addition, in fact······ You don't have to pack anything," Chu Ningxiang said with some squirming, "There are daily necessities over there." ”
"Over there? You ······ Are the inns optimistic? Ling Ran was slightly startled.
"No," Chu Ningxiang whispered into her ear, "It's General Xiao's private mansion!" ”
"Wow! Then I'm really stained with you······" Ling Ran couldn't help but sigh.
"Then go clean up! By the way, someone on the prince's side will tell him later, you can come directly to the door of the Xuan Palace! ”
"Okay, then we'll see you later!"
"Mm-hmm, see you later!"

Returning to the ancient streets of the capital after a long absence, Ling Ran couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Chu Ningxiang held her arm affectionately all the way, the two talked and laughed, and Xiao Chen followed them closely, always keeping a certain distance from them, and occasionally helping them show the way.
"Ning Xiang, why don't you hold his hand? Look at the people, walking behind us alone, how pitiful. Ling Ran whispered to Chu Ningxiang.
"Alas, I'm avoiding suspicion, avoiding suspicion! Do you understand? Chu Ningxiang raised her eyebrows, and also leaned into Ling Ran's ear and said, "I can't let my father know about this matter, so on the street, he will first be the personal guard of the father~lord~." ”
"Oh yes!" Ling Ran suddenly realized, but at this moment, an unbearable sound of beating and scolding came:
"Bastard thing! Hand over the money! Break your legs if you don't! ”
"That's it! Why don't you take it out soon?! Brothers, beat him! ”
Ling Ran looked over there and saw a little beggar in ragged clothes being beaten in a corner by several strong men.
The little beggar's clothes, which were already thin and torn, were now torn by them and almost unclothed, but he still held a few small tickets in his arms tightly, his eyelids drooped, and he shivered in the cold wind.
"Robbery in broad daylight?" Ling Ran was furious.
"Too much deception!" Chu Ningxiang also said angrily, so she glanced at Ling Ran, and was about to rush forward together to teach them a lesson.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly flew in front of the two of them and stopped them:
"No!"
Ling Ran and Chu Ningxiang looked at Xiao Chen in front of them, and said in unison:
"Why?"
"Come over here," Xiao Chen glanced at the group of people who were beating the beggars and pulled the two of them aside, "They are Qiao Siye's people." ”
"Fourth Master Qiao?" Chu Ningxiang frowned.
Ling Ran looked at him puzzled.
Xiao Chen pointed to those people:
"See that snake tattoo on their arm?"
Ling Ran and Chu Ningxiang looked at them, and sure enough, a ferocious black snake was stabbed on everyone's forearm, so they nodded in unison, turned around and listened to Xiao Chen continue:
"That's the mark of Qiao Siye's gangster. This person," Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, "It can be regarded as one of the emperor's biggest heart attacks in recent years." ”
"So powerful?" Ling Ran was slightly startled in his heart, and then he couldn't help but look at those people.
"He's not among those people," Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile as he looked at Ling Ran's reaction, "It's said to be a one-eyed dragon." ”
"Oh," Ling Ran turned his eyes back at this time, and suddenly asked Chu Ningxiang, "That Ningxiang Gong~Lord~, are you hungry, do you want us to have a meal with you first?" ”
"You're hungry!" Chu Ningxiang smiled and narrowed her eyes, then took her hand and walked towards a wine shop in front of her, "Let's go, let's go, I heard that this wine shop is quite good." ”
Ling Ran raised his head, and when he saw the four big words "Yongwang Restaurant" on the signboard, his pupils couldn't help but dilate instantly, which was really a coincidence.
As everyone knows, more coincidental things are still to come.
"Yo! Good familiar guests! As soon as Sister Zhang at the door saw Ling Ran, she immediately greeted her with a body of fat trembling, "How many guest officers?" ”
"Three." Ling Ran replied.
"Okay, may I ask if you like to sit upstairs, there are fewer people upstairs and the scenery is better!" Sister Zhang exaggerated the movements.
The three of them looked at each other, "It's fine." ”
"Those guest officers, please come with me······"
The stairs were very narrow, so they were led by Sister Zhang, Chu Ningxiang walked in front, and Ling Ran and Xiao Chen followed.
On the way up to the second floor, Sister Zhang was enthusiastically introducing the signature dishes of Yongwang Liquor Store to them, and Ling Ran's stomach growled and swallowed her saliva.
Because of the dishes she said, Ling Ran had eaten them all last time······ It's really delicious. I miss them.
However, just as they were about to go up to the second floor, Chu Ningxiang's footsteps stopped suddenly, but Ling Ran's mind was full of all kinds of delicacies at this moment, and she didn't pay attention at all, so she hit her nose with a nose, and suddenly she gasped in pain:
"Hiss ······"
"Excuse me!" Chu Ningxiang apologized very lightly, so lightly that Ling Ran almost didn't hear anything.
"It's fine." Ling Ran said with a smile, and was about to continue moving forward, but saw Chu Ningxiang smile a little embarrassed and said to Sister Zhang:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this sister, we suddenly decided to eat in another family." The sound is still very quiet, like a mosquito.
