Chapter 176: To add insult to injury
"No matter what you see, don't make a sound, don't make any movements, and I'll explain to you when you're done."
This is what Zhao Huanting said before taking Qi Shu in.
He pulled Qi Shu all the way out of the room, and then took her out of the twilight tavern, and after walking through a few lanes along the backyard, he came to this restaurant called Beauty Shop.
On the surface, it is a restaurant, but what kind of business is it doing in private, and only those who often come here to have fun in Liang City know that it is a gold cave.
Before Qi Shu entered the door, he could already smell the aroma of fat powder coming from inside, which was very strong, and the smell was a little special.
"This is a precious spice obtained from the Dian State, and the Wei State can not easily buy it." Zhao Huanting saw Qi Shu's subconscious sniffing and knew that she must have doubts about this spice.
In fact, even if it wasn't the spices of the Dian Kingdom, Qi Shu might not be able to smell it, because she definitely didn't come to this kind of place very often.
They entered through the back door, so Qi Shu couldn't see the front of the hotel, and naturally he didn't know the name of the hotel.
The strange thing is that Zhao Huanting didn't see anyone when she pulled Qi Shu in, I don't know where this person went, I thought she would take herself up the stairs or what, but I didn't expect the layout of this hotel to be unusual, the corridor is crooked, and there are many rooms divided, and each room seems to have different uses.
When Qi Shu saw the stairs, he subconsciously wanted to climb up, but Zhao Huanting pulled him over, and then took her down instead. Actually going down? Seeing the stairs going down, Qi Shu's face turned green.
Qi Shu was surprised to find that there were still stairs going down here, could it be the basement of the cellar?
Thinking of the basement, Qi Shu instinctively wanted to run out, his body trembled, the smell of dirty and damp, the rats and insects scurrying around, and the cold and torn into pieces of steamed bread, that person was killed by Ning Ze She knew it, and before he died, Qi Shu didn't even know what he looked like.
So this fear instinctively turned into a fear of the dark and claustrophobic underground, and Qi Shu was unwilling to go down, absolutely unwilling.
Thinking that she didn't grasp it so she let Qi Shu break free, Zhao Huanting reached out to grab it again, subconsciously glanced at Qi Shu, and found that her face was pale and frightened, and cold sweat kept flowing down, which was extremely abnormal.
"What's wrong?"
Qi Shu didn't answer, just looked at Zhao Huanting blankly, and shook her head tremblingly, she will definitely not go down, she doesn't want to go down!
Realizing that something was wrong with her, Zhao Huanting didn't dare to force her anymore, and immediately changed the direction and pulled the trembling Qi Shu to the room next to her. Until Zhao Huanting took Qi Shu to a spacious and bright room, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of her, she still looked shocked.
Frowning and probing Qi Shu's expression, Zhao Huanting thought carefully in her mind, speculating on the reason for her sudden abnormality. Why was she so panicked when she went down underground with her? Could it be that Qi Shu is afraid of the dark place? Also, women are afraid of the dark.
Qi Shu may be the more sensitive kind among women.
But Zhao Huanting still felt that something was wrong, Qi Shu was simple and firm, and he was definitely not such a timid and cowardly person, there must be a reason why he suddenly became like this.
When Qi Shu had an accident in Jiangnan, Zhao Huanting had already returned to Zhao State, and Mozhu did not report it to him, so Zhao Huanting did not know about it.
"You're waiting for me here." Zhao Huanting instructed, and then walked away lightly.
Qi Shu unconsciously shook her body back and forth, trying to relieve her nervousness in this way, but she was still extremely panicked in her heart, and she wanted to leave here in a panic, but Wan Ting didn't know where to go, it was like a maze just now, and she was afraid that she would not find the way.
"You said that your master looked for me, where did he find it, and he didn't come for so long, and let me release the pigeon? Yes? Suddenly, a man's rough voice came from the outside compartment, and it sounded like he had drunk too much.
This movement made the panicked Qi Shu couldn't help but divert his attention and pay attention to the movement outside.
"My lord, you can't say that, you are our honored guest here, and the host also wants to entertain you personally, you see, you are a person under Lord Ning, and you are a weighty person wherever you go." The voice was comparable to that of a oriole, and the woman's voice listened to by the man.
"Hmph." The man snorted disdainfully.
Hearing Lord Ning, Qi Shu couldn't help but want to smile bitterly, how can this go anywhere is Ning Ze, and the huge Shaoliang has nothing to do with him?
"My lord, last time you said that Lord Ning took the initiative to take away his old love in order to take revenge on General Fang, this is true...... Woo, huh! ”
"Shh!!!!!!!!!!h The man hurriedly booed, and then covered the woman's mouth, and most of the wine woke up in an instant, and he broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but glared fiercely: "Shut up!" You slut! That's what you can say? ”
The woman instantly bowed down and said: "Adult, my lord forgives me, I didn't lose my words for a while, I lost my words, I lost my words, I just didn't say it!" Come, come, let's go into the house and drink. ”
There was a squirming sound, and the sound of the door being slammed open startled Qi Shu, thinking that the other party had broken into the room where she was, and couldn't help but be a little flustered, after all, this room was brought in by Zhao Huanting at will.
However, what the woman said just now was burned in Qi Shu's head like a soldering iron, was he for revenge? No, no, no, absolutely impossible, no, he has no grudge with Fang Jie for no reason, and there is no basis for groundless things.
I thought so, but Qi Shu knew that the man and the woman had definitely not gone far, and the sound of slamming the door and closing the door was not long after, and the two of them were in the room next to her!
However, Qi Shu didn't think about why this man and woman suddenly appeared outside Qi Shu's door and said such inconsequential words.
Qi Shu has been deeply trapped in it for the past two days, not only his mind is unstable and his body is shaky, but also the consciousness and reason of the whole person have been thrown out of the clouds, and the behavior of thinking about one out of one is also generated in the chaos, and the current Qi Shu is uncontrollable, and outsiders seem to be almost stunned.
Taking a step back and thinking about it, if Qi Shu hadn't been constantly stimulated and overthinking, would she have run around the street alone, leaving her hair scattered and disheveled? Will she rashly go to Liu Guogong, whom she has admired for a long time, and say bluntly what she wants to be an official? is very different from her usual dignified and shy appearance.
And the unintentional experience of the cellar just now pushed Qi Shu into an extremely tight state, and the whole person was like a hedgehog erected and stretched out all the thorns, but the soft part of the abdomen was also exposed, so that people could easily grasp her weakness and target it.
Qi Shu came out of the room, and then walked stiffly and strenucly to the room near her room, all that kept hinting in his head was to listen to what they said, listen to what they said, listen to what they said, listen to what they said about the rest.
One finds the other.
The sound of "giggles" came from the room on Qi Shu's left, and she heard it clearly, this was the woman who had just asked. As if enchanted, Qi Shu walked over slowly, and then covered his entire body on the door, and put it on the side, his ears were hot like fire, and his heart jumped to his throat......
The lights in the Guanghan palace were bright, and there were several people standing at the door, one of whom was also holding the prince's horse, which was instructed by the Fuda housekeeper in advance, saying that it was necessary to wait for the prince to use the young horse.
I don't know if the housekeeper can tell the hexagram, every time he guesses extremely accurately, and the few that are not allowed are that the prince wants a carriage in addition to a horse.
But it's the middle of the night, I'm sleepy, where is the prince going to go at night? I just sent Nalan He away during the day, and after the rest of the things, I still have to rest and rest?
Several of them are from the inner courtyard, and they have recently been transferred to the outer room by the housekeeper, and the brothers outside are said to have taken care of the owner of a calligraphy and painting shop, but they don't know which one they are taking care of for the time being, and they don't know when they will be able to come back to change the guard.
On a hot day, they still like to stay in the inner courtyard.
After a while, the prince really came out dressed neatly, but the look on his face was not very good, and his expression was a little cold, as if he had encountered something extremely tricky, otherwise the prince was usually extremely calm and gentle.
Ning Ze took the reins of his subordinates without saying a word, turned over the young horse, and the horse symbolically kicked twice, and then obediently waited for Ning Ze to drive.
Ning Si had just reported, they followed Qi Shu to the Dusk Spring Tavern, and when they went over, they found that things were not so simple, then Zhao Huanting seemed to have taken Qi Shu away from the backyard, as if she was going somewhere. The situation was critical, so Ning Si came over to report first.
Ning Ze, who only fell into the trap designed by Zhao Huanting yesterday, knew that there must be something unusual in it, but in the past two days, he was also exhausted, Nalan Hehe's actions in Shaoliang City were like planting a nail under His Majesty's nose, and he was like a person pulling nails, and at the same time, he had to try his best to maneuver between His Majesty and the ministers, and there must be room for turning around and even refusing about the marriage between Zhao and Wei.
Ning Ze didn't dare to gather too many people to help him intercede, but it was still okay to put appropriate pressure on His Majesty, especially with the current strength of Wei State, it was still a little difficult to eat Zhao State.
It is not necessarily a bad thing to have gains and losses in the game in political affairs, but Qi Shu's gains and losses are absolutely unyielding for Ning Ze, I don't know if Qi Shangshu has told Qi Shu about misunderstanding him and Zhao Huanting, if he told Qi Shu, he wanted to wait for Qi Shu to be angry and then explain to her that he definitely did not live up to her thoughts.
I only hope that Zhao Huanting will not use any tricks to make Qi Shu's misunderstanding of her even worse, and when the time comes, he just wants to explain, it is estimated that Qi Shu will not listen to it and will not believe it anymore.
Hopefully, it's still too late.
When Zhao Huanting came over, she pushed open the room where she was originally in, but she didn't find where Qi Shu was, so she couldn't help but look around in a hurry. When he looked for Qi Shu, he found that she was sitting on the floor of the room diagonally opposite, holding her knees with her hands and her face buried in her laps.
"Shu'er!" Zhao Huanting shouted anxiously. "Let's go back to ......" Before she finished speaking, Qi Shu raised her head and let Zhao Huanting see her red and dull eyes, Zhao Huanting couldn't help but close her mouth, and then walked over slowly.
