Chapter Ninety-Seven: Going to the Appointment
After explaining the truth of the matter, Shen Mu was about to push the door out, he didn't want to affect his wife and daughter, and he wanted to leave them while others hadn't found out about their relationship yet.
Since Shen Yunqing is He Caiqin's savior, the other party should not embarrass them.
Just told Shen Yunqing not to stay in the county guard mansion for more and leave early.
"I'll find a way to escape by myself, let's go to the capital to meet!"
Shen Yunqing shouted to him from behind: "Dad, let's go to the capital together, we will cover your escape." ”
Shen Mu still shook his head very firmly, and was about to open the door when he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Open the door and search for the Assassins!"
It's the guards of the house.
It must have been a search, but he didn't find Shen Mu's figure, and finally set his eyes on the few guests who had just come in.
At this moment, the door of the room was slammed, and everyone in the room was startled.
Shen Yunqing quickly swept around the room, trying to find a place where he could hide people.
There was no open space under the bed, no shelter on the table, bookshelves full of books, and even the cabinets were full of books.
Several people hurriedly wanted to hide Shen Mu, but Shen Mu wanted to escape through the window, the only thought was not to involve his wife and children.
Before he could push open the window on the other side, he was stopped by Nangong Qiao, "Captain Shen, don't worry, with me and Yun Qing here, they can't take you away!" ”
The door on that side was still "banging", and the more he knocked on it, the more urgent it became, and the guard's voice was a little higher: "Ordered to search for the assassins, and ask the girl to be accommodating." ”
They only knew that the house was a young lady's honored guest, and they didn't dare to offend too much, and if they were hindered from searching for the assassin, they could only offend first.
Just when the guards outside the house were impatient to kick the door open, a low voice came from afar: "Presumptuous! This house is my honored guest, and you dare to break in? ”
The wine and food had been prepared, and He Caiqin was about to ask Shen Yunqing to take their seats, when he saw the guards knocking on the door.
The guard bowed his head to He Caiqin and replied, "Miss, the assassin has not been found, so my subordinates have come here to ask." ”
"Didn't find a guest who came to bother me? Didn't you find the reason why you shouldn't ask yourself? ”
Guard: "Yes, Miss taught you a lesson!" ”
He Caiqin glanced at the guard, and the guard left in amusement.
Of course, she knew that there were no assassins in the house, but that the soldier in the side room had run away.
But she wasn't worried, even if that officer and soldier ran out of the gate, they wouldn't be able to get out of Ningzhou City.
She didn't want to be a little soldier and ruin the mood she was entertaining.
He Caiqin went to Nangong Qiao's house next to him first, but she didn't even knock on the door, but pushed the door in but was empty.
He walked out of the room in a daze, turned to Shen Yunqing's door, and tapped the door twice: "Miss Qing, are you there?" ”
After a while, the door opened, Shen Yunqing rubbed his worried eyes, yawned, and said with a smile: "Caiqin girl, I'm sorry to oversleep, I haven't slept comfortably for a long time." ”
She opened the door wide and invited He Caiqin into the house to chat.
Shen Yunqing glanced at the back of the bed curtain casually, fortunately, he couldn't see it, and turned his head to He Caiqin with a smile.
She just wanted to dispel He Caiqin's doubts, and generously invited people into the house for He Caiqin to check.
However, Shen Yunqing guessed He Caiqin's mind wrongly, and He Caiqin didn't care about the whereabouts of the "assassin" at all.
"Since Miss Qing likes it here, she might as well stay here for a few more days."
When she saw Nangong Qiao in the house, there was obvious displeasure in her eyes, although the two were brother and sister, but after all, men and women were different, and even resting was in the same room, so she was a little unavoidable.
He Caiqin stepped forward and came to Nangong Qiao, and performed a standard lady's salute, and the voice like a yellow warbler came into everyone's ears.
"Qiao Gongzi, it turns out that you are here, Caiqin just didn't find you next door, and I thought you were not used to living and leaving......"
Nangong Qiao replied with a slight bow: "Thank you Miss He for your concern, I just heard that there are assassins outside, and I am worried about Yun ...... Worried about my sister's safety, I came to have a look. ”
He really couldn't treat Shen Yunqing as his sister, how awkward it was to shout this title.
"Oh, I see...... But it doesn't matter, the assassin has already caught, just a little thief. ”
After that, he walked out of the door and made an invitation: "The wine and food have been prepared, my father is also back, and I will introduce you to each other!" ”
Shen Yunqing and Nangong Qiao glanced at each other, and they were both shocked.
This He Caiqin is not simple, or it is not as weak as it was at the beginning.
Shen Mu was obviously still in Shen Yunqing's room, but He Caiqin said that he had found it.
I don't know if she already knows where people are hiding, or if she deliberately hides it from them.
Anyway, Shen Yunqing and Nangong Qiao could only accept the invitation, otherwise they would suddenly regret it after agreeing to the appointment just now, for fear of being suspected.
"Thank you, Miss He."
Shen Yunqing followed He Caiqin towards the door, and Lin's voice came from behind him: "Otherwise, I won't go, I'm a little uncomfortable, and Yun Jiao hasn't woken up yet." ”
Lin Shi's face did not look very good, the dark blue under his eyes was obvious, and he sat on the edge of the bed and guarded the sleeping Yun Jiao, looking at He Caiqin in embarrassment.
He Caiqin looked at Shen Yunqing, looked at the Lin family, and then looked at Nangong Qiao, and then laughed: "In this case, I will ask the cook to bring some food to the room, so that you don't run back and forth." ”
Lin learned from He Caiqin's appearance just now, leaned over slightly and thanked, "Thank you Miss He for your understanding." ”
He Caiqin waved his hand: "It's nothing!" Then he said to Shen Yunqing and Nangong Qiao: "Let's go!" ”
As long as she can be invited to the table, what does it have to do with her whether others go or not?
She had just made it clear to her father He Kang that she had fallen in love with someone and asked He Kang for help.
No matter how simple the county guard mansion is, it is also the county guard mansion, with a large area and many corridors, Shen Yunqing followed He Caiqin around seven times and eight times, and finally arrived after a long time.
Shen Yunqing and Nangong Qiao walked side by side, she quietly turned her head sideways and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember the way back?" ”
Nangong Qiao on the side looked at her with puzzled eyes.
Shen Yunqing smiled awkwardly and explained, "I don't remember the road a bit, especially this kind of house with many corridors. ”
"Don't worry, you can't lose it."
As the two spoke, they followed He Caiqin to a large and spacious room, which was three times the size of the guest room they had just stayed in, and an entire wall was full of bookshelves full of books.
A carved log table sits in the center of the room, and a middle-aged man sits directly above it.
With a boxy face and a pair of eyes as bright as black beans under the black eight-figure eyebrows, he was looking at a man and a woman who walked in.
Seeing that Shen Yunqing and Nangong Qiao had approached, He Kang stood up and said: "I heard that there was a gangster making trouble at the grain release point today, it was the two of you who saved the little girl and helped maintain order, you two are my He Kang's great benefactors, hurry up, please sit down, please sit down." ”
