Chapter 19: The Helpless Cao Apu (1st Update)

The two went out together, walked around the street, and finally came to the outside of the bun shop on East Street.

The steamed bun seems to be very popular, and there are even many people queuing up to buy it.

Rong Qingdi was originally a person who liked to join in the fun, and when he saw many people queuing, he also pulled Xiao Yan over to line up.

"Princess Ben also wants to try it, what is so good about this bun shop. Xiao Yan, you accompany Princess Ben to line up to take a look. ”

Xiao Yan didn't have any opinions, the purpose of her coming here was originally this bun shop.

Although the queue to buy buns was relatively long, it soon arrived at Rong Qingdi and Xiao Yan.

In the bun shop, there was a couple in their thirties, and an apprentice.

Xiao Yan saw that the appearance of the man in his thirties was similar to that of the old woman, and she knew that this one should be the son of the old woman.

The man in his thirties saw Xiao Yan's face change slightly, and then he said to Xiao Yan: "This guest officer, we have recently launched a steamed bun, we need someone to taste it, give us a little advice, I don't know if this guest officer is interested?" ”

Xiao Yan was surprised in her heart, and nodded slightly: "Yes." ”

The man hurriedly said, "Then please ask this guest officer to come to the back kitchen." ”

Remember the URL

Xiao Yan did not refuse, and walked into the small shop with Rong Qingdi and came to the back kitchen.

In the small shop, the man came to Xiao Yan, bowed to Xiao Yan, and then asked, "Girl, what do you want to do?" ”

Rong Qingdi was a little confused, didn't this person ask them to come in and try their new products?

The man continued, "It's your people who came to us before, right? I have already given you the token, and I have passed my news to my mother through you, so why are your people still wandering around recently? Our family just wants to live an ordinary life, why can't you nobles let us go? ”

When Rong Qingdi heard this, she could be regarded as understanding, so she asked Xiao Yan in a low voice, "This is the person you are looking for?" Did you send someone to keep an eye on him? ”

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, looked at the man, and said with a smile: "How can you see that I am in the same group as them." ”

The man pointed to Xiao Yan's cuffs: "The dark lines on your cuffs are the same!" ”

Xiao Yan raised her hand, glanced at her cuffs, and then smiled.

This is indeed a dark pattern unique to Tianwuwei's flying fish suit, even Tianwuwei's regular clothes and night clothes will embroider such dark patterns on the cuffs.

Ordinary people don't notice, but this person does, and it seems that his observation is amazing.

She smiled and said, "Since you even noticed these dark lines, haven't you noticed that there are actually two teams of people staring at your house now?" ”

The man frowned slightly, he did see it.

It's just that he doesn't understand why another team of people came out.

Xiao Yan continued: "It's not me who doesn't let go of your family, but someone else. If my people are not there, do you think your family can survive safely until the next day? ”

The man's face changed slightly.

Last night, he heard the sound of fighting.

However, the sound of the fight soon died down.

I thought it was my own delusion, but now that I think about it, maybe it was really not that he heard it wrong.

"You protected us?" The man looked at Xiao Yan and asked.

Xiao Yan said flatly: "Protection can't be discussed, but I made a deal with Ling Tang. That is, bring you to her safe and sound, and she will tell me some secrets that she knows. ”

The man's eyes widened: "Are you talking about my mother's secret for most of her life?" ”

He knew that his mother had a secret in her heart, a secret that would bring about death.

It was precisely because of this secret that their mother would let them leave their homeland and come to Xilan to take root.

It's just that his mother didn't tell him what this secret was.

Now it seems that the people who want to kill their family are the ones who are afraid of this secret getting out.

And the one who protects them is the one who wants to know the secret.

The girl in front of you is the one who wants to know this secret, right?

"Does my mother mean to let us go back to Tanglin?" The man asked.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly.

The man frowned and did not speak.

At this time, the man's daughter-in-law walked in and said with some disapproval, "We have just established ourselves here, and are we going to leave again?" So rushing, I don't agree. ”

The man looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Can we still choose to stay?" ”

He really didn't want to go back to Tanglin either.

The best, he felt, was that they could stay and that someone could protect them.

Xiao Yan said casually: "Naturally, you can!" But if you choose to stay, it won't be of any value to me. You know why I sent someone to protect your family, right? ”

The man's face turned pale: "You will remove your people?" Will you die or not? ”

Xiao Yan was noncommittal, and said indifferently: "If you don't have any value to me, then what does your life or death have to do with me?" Of course, I don't mind giving you a few coffins after you die, I can still afford it! ”

The man's face became even more bloodless, and he said, "Don't you want to know that secret?" If we die......"

Xiao Yan spoke directly and interrupted the man's words: "If you die, Ling Tang must want revenge, right?" If she wants revenge, who can she rely on? If she wants me to help her get revenge, what can she do in exchange with me? Therefore, those of you who remain in Xilan may not be as useful to me as you who are dead! ”

The man could no longer speak.

If they died, Mother would have wanted to avenge them.

The mother herself has no ability to take revenge, and in the end, she must only take out the secret and exchange it with the woman in front of her.

In this way, the woman in front of her is still willing to protect them, rather than directly let them die, which is actually very kind.

The woman who spoke against it was also pale and unable to say anything.

Xiao Yan finally said: "I'll come again in three days, I hope that when the time comes, you can give me an answer." My patience is limited, and I hope you will think it through and give me an answer. Because, you only have one chance. ”

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, she turned around and left the small shop.

Rong Qingdi naturally left.

Back on the street again, Rong Qingdi tasted the bun and said, "The bun is good." But you are so fierce and cruel. No choice at all. ”

Xiao Yan raised her eyebrows: "Didn't I give them a choice?" ”

"Die or go back with you, is this also called a choice?" Rong Qingdi rolled his eyes and said.

The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth hooked, and he said slowly: "He can also choose to stay, and then rely on himself to protect his family!" Death is not a choice I gave him, it was his ability that left him without a choice. ”

When Rong Qingdi heard this, she stopped when she wanted to eat the buns, and she seemed to understand something.
