Chapter 281: The Temptation of Roast Chicken
Extremely dissatisfied with this assignment, Xiao Hanyue did not enter the guest room directly, but stood in the corridor and looked back and forth, trying to find out if there were any other suspicious loopholes.
The lotus flower was also relieved, standing in the corridor and hesitating.
It stands to reason that she, as a maidservant, should follow her master to stay in the same room, but the guard said that according to the instructions of the prince of Jin, the five of them were assigned their own rooms, and she was not allowed to wait for the little lady at all.
"Please go back to your room and rest quickly, and don't delay the journey early tomorrow morning!"
Seeing that Xiao Hanyue and the others were unwilling to give up, the guard scolded in a low voice, "No matter who you are, you must follow the arrangement of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, if you want to cause trouble, I don't mind putting you in the firewood room separately." ”
These words are naturally frightening, he doesn't dare to lock up this group of people easily, but he is used to being arrogant by relying on Gu Mingxuan's name as the son.
Seeing that there was more than one guard holding weapons, it was estimated that this group of people would be on duty at the door tonight, Xiao Hanyue's eyes revealed a trace of anger.
Tonight, something will happen!
Nie Chen glanced at the urging guard, turned around and kicked the quibbling little gray wolf, and then raised his chin at it.
The little gray wolf the size of the dog cub whimpered, bit the man's trouser leg and pulled it angrily a few times before turning his head and running to the door of Su Qingtian's room and lying down.
The shining wolf's eyes flashed, staring at the small fat worm that was wriggling on the ground not far away.
The fat worm is very small, hiding in the gap in the dark and moving forward little by little, and the struggling appearance is really a bit ridiculous.
The little gray wolf snorted at the tip of his nose, turned his head and buried his head in his front paws and stopped looking.
Lotus looked at Brother Nie's little wolf to take care of the little master, and felt a lot more relieved, and finally entered the room under the urging gaze of the guard.
It wasn't until everyone in the Xiao family obediently returned to the room that several guards glanced at each other, standing on both sides of the corridor with great tacit understanding, ostensibly to protect their safety, but in fact to monitor.
After another hour or so, a series of creaking footsteps suddenly came from the quiet floor.
The guard walked to the end of the corridor vigilantly and looked down at the shopkeepers who were rushing up with dinner.
It was indeed dinner time, and the store also provided a sumptuous meal according to Gu Mingxuan's request, and the guards tried the food one by one with silver needles, and only after finding nothing wrong with them did they let them deliver the meal.
Nie Chen heard the sound of someone going upstairs and walked to the door, opened the gap in the wooden door to see the guard's every move, and raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
The little two lowered their heads and came to the door of several people and knocked on the door, and the guards stared at them for a moment, and after putting down their meals, they turned around and left without delay.
The speed was extremely fast, and he didn't even raise his eyes to greet Xiao Hanyue, as if he was afraid that he would be killed by the guards on the spot if he panted loudly.
Su Qingtian was lying by the window looking at the pale orange sunset in the distance, and the delicacies on the round table behind him were neatly arranged, and all kinds of meat and vegetable dishes were gathered, as if Gu Mingxuan was taking care of them very carefully.
Unfortunately, she didn't have to turn her head back before she could smell the smell of medicine mixed in the charming aroma.
Although the rest of the Xiao family couldn't smell it, they all knew it in their hearts when they looked at this unkind dinner.
Walking around the table, Su Qingtian felt sorry for the good dishes on this table, and thought about how not to waste food.
Reaching out and grabbing a roast chicken, the girl pushed open the pane on the right.
Under the pane is the back alley of the inn, which is generally used to pile up debris and dispose of garbage, at this time a group of beggars leaning against the corner to rest, waiting for the inn to carry out the bucket for a chance to have a full meal.
"Hey, do you want to eat?"
A small and crisp female voice sounded above their heads, and as soon as the beggars looked up, they saw a fairy-looking girl, holding a roast chicken with oil, looking down with a smile.
Seeing the food, almost all the beggars immediately stood up and looked at Su Qingtian intently, actually looking at the fresh and hot food in her hands.
They eat all the leftovers of the diners every day, some of them clean up and throw them out, they can still eat hot food, and some of them pile up for a day and night before throwing them away, and many of them are steamed meals.
Where can I have the opportunity to eat such a fresh and fragrant roast chicken!
Su Qingtian didn't tease them, and reached out and threw the roast chicken towards the crowd.
The beggars gathered around like crazy, and you pushed and pulled back and forth trying to grab the corner of the roast chicken, and a few even started to fight each other.
The roast chicken was also torn into countless pieces the moment it fell, and even the bone belt was stuffed into the beggar's mouth.
In this group of beggars in rags, there are three or two people who seem to be fighting for people who are actually not contributing at all, and it is obvious that they are only trying to hide their true identity.
As for who it is, naturally it can't escape the girl's eyes.
Glancing at the faces of those people, Su Qingtian leaned on the pane and said neatly, "I still have a lot of food here, if you want to eat, just come and find it." ”
"This young lady, what you say counts?!"
A burly and sturdy beggar stood at the front, his face covered and he couldn't see clearly, and he was clutching most of the roast chicken in his hand, like a victor.
The beggars behind him were much thinner than him, and they were no match for him at all, so naturally they didn't dare to snatch it.
Hearing Su Qingtian's words, the beggars all looked at this young lady with a beautiful face but a very strange face, and there was a hint of hope in their eyes.
"Count yourself."
"Just come to me, I'll have enough to eat tonight."
As he spoke, Su Qingtian took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and threw it directly to the tall beggar, "If you don't want to come, these ten taels of silver will be given to you." ”
Hearing that there was really a good thing to wait for pie to fall from the sky, the beggars became excited and looked at the tall man in front of them, obviously he was the one who took the idea among the beggars.
Naturally, because of his strong military value, ordinary beggars can't win and have nothing to eat, and occasionally they need him to help them so as not to starve to death.
Now that they have such a God-given opportunity, they can't wait to rush into the inn to beg for food, but the final decision is still on the man.
The tall man pinched the genuine silver taels in his hand, thought for a moment, looked up at the beggars and nodded.
Seeing that he agreed, the beggars' faces instantly lit up with joy and excitement, and they rushed towards the inn gate.
The men disguised as beggars immediately froze in place, looking at each other at a loss.
"What to do? Do you keep guarding here or keep up? One of them couldn't make up his mind and asked the other two.
"The second child and I are guarding here, and the third child you follow in to see what's going on."
The man at the head gave the order directly.
