Jin Yuanbao's name was indeed more effective than any royal token. The teahouse owner trotted up to them with a smile, nodding and bowing politely.
Behind him, followed a scurrying waiter, each holding a tray. On each tray were two plates of small snacks. They were exquisite and beautiful, and the aroma was fragrant. Just looking at them made people appetite.
When Xia Chu saw it for the first time, his eyes widened. An unusually bright light burst out from his eyes, and the golden light shone.
She immediately forgot about inquiring about information and pushed everything to Jin Yuanbao. Then she stretched out her hand and called to Chang Huan sitting next to her: "Eat!"
Feng Luo stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a shrimp dumpling and a fried bun for Ling Ding, who had been having trouble with each other. He raised his chin slightly and said lightly: "Eat."
Ling Ding didn't move. She looked at Xia Chuyi sitting opposite her. She was stunned for a moment, then seemed to be shocked by something. She came back to her senses and pulled Feng Luo's sleeve: "Hey, did you see it? Hers
The eyes...seem to be golden!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Feng Luo looked coldly.
"Oh, I'm not talking nonsense..." Lingdang said and looked again, but the eyes opposite him were no different from those of ordinary people. If there was any difference, they were prettier than ordinary people, with long eyelashes.
Her eyes, if you look closely, are quite beautiful.
As soon as this idea came into her head, she couldn't help but let out a sigh. When she saw Feng Luo looking at her intently, she puffed up her cheeks and said unhappily: "I saw it wrong, it's true."
As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks in his hand to pick up the shrimp dumplings. At the same time, his eyes moved slightly, and a bit of yellow powder flew out of his sleeves and landed on the shrimp dumplings.
She picked it up with a nonchalant expression and stuffed it into her mouth.
Next to him, Xia Chuyi gave Chang Huan almost all the tea snacks on the plate: "Small Tiansu, crystal shrimp dumplings, crispy buns... hoo, and pearl glutinous rice chicken!"
Chang Huan was taller to begin with, so he had to bend down in order to eat at the table. Xia Chuyi, on the other hand, was petite, and the two figures, the big one and the small one, looked indescribably harmonious together.
It was a joy to eat.
Jin Yuanbao was alone at another table, inquiring about the general situation of Cangzhou City, while the other shadows were frantically grabbing at another table.
Feng Luo also ate, but he ate less. While eating, he put some into Ling Dang's plate, causing Ling Dang to roll her eyes at him frequently: "I won't eat this. If I said I wouldn't eat this, you can't understand me!"
Feng Luo didn't bother to say anything to her, but he made her say that she was boring.
It was originally a harmonious sumptuous afternoon tea, but there were always some disharmonious factors that disturbed everyone's appetite.
Everyone was enjoying their meal when suddenly, Ling Dang suddenly stood up, pushed with both hands, and pushed all the teacups and bowls on the table to the ground.
Thanks to Xia Chu's quick eyes and quick hands, he quickly scooped up a plate of crab buns, otherwise the girl would have ruined it all.
Just as he was about to get angry, he looked up and saw Ling Dang squeezing his neck with both hands. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was livid, and he suddenly turned into a ghost.
When Xia Chu first saw her, she was immediately angry at Feng Luo: "Didn't I tell you to take good care of her?"
Feng Luo was also shocked there, obviously he didn't expect that Ling Dang would not succeed in attacking them, but would actually be cruel enough to attack him.
"My mistake." He said, and was about to reach out to pull the bell, but she waved it away.
"Don't touch me! You, hahaha, fight with me..." A strange smile appeared on her face, and she pointed at everyone present. Her expression looked crazy.
When Xia Chu saw this, he immediately felt like he was about to be attacked: "Hurry and catch her!"
However, the bell was sitting by the window, reaching out and pushing it to face the street outside. By the time everyone pulled her back, it was already too late.
Black blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she shouted at the guards on the street: "It's killing people, seeking wealth and killing people! Come on, help me..."
Feng Luo stretched out his hand and twisted the skirt of her clothes, pulling her back. Shadow immediately closed the window quickly.
The soldier patrolling downstairs tilted his head and looked up at the teahouse, scratching his head and asking the team leader next to him: "Do you... care about this?"
The leader of the team kicked him: "People are already killed, and you don't care about it? Follow me to the first team to surround the teahouse. You take a few people to the city lord's palace to report to the general!"
"yes!"
In the box, Xia Chu looked at the bell with a livid expression, her fingers clenched into fists, and her fingertips turned purple, but she didn't feel anything at all.
Even though there were thousands of reasons, she couldn't figure it out. She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried. Looking at Ling Ding who was slumped in front of her and foaming at the mouth, she frowned and said, "Honestly, why are you targeting me?"
I?"
"Ahem..." Lingdang smiled and coughed, and the cold sweat on his forehead fell down to his clothes, "To be honest... to be honest, I think you... don't like you, okay?"
"Uh..." Xia Chuyi really wanted to take out two knives and cut open the girl's head to see what was inside.
The shadow next to him touched his chin and said, "Is this what we call, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers?"
All the shadows nodded in unison.
Jin Yuanbao glared at them, then heard Ying San running over to him and saying, "The officers and soldiers have surrounded the teahouse."
When he heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to call the teahouse owner over: "You and the shadows go downstairs to deal with them first. When General Lin comes, ask him to come up and talk."
The shopkeeper and the shadows were ordered out immediately, leaving only shadows one, two, and three beside them in case of emergencies.
When Feng Luo saw that Xia Chuyi and Ling Dang were fighting again, his usually expressionless face showed a rare look of helplessness: "Chu Yi, save people first."
Although Xia Chuyi was angry, it was not to the point of killing someone. When Feng Luo said that, he immediately said angrily: "She has the ability to make poison, but not the antidote?"
"Haha..." Lingdang heard the words and burst out laughing, "I have the antidote, so what... Ahem, I won't take it. I just want everyone to see...see how you take human life so lightly...
…”
Feng Luo frowned and stretched out his hand towards her: "Antidote."
She tilted her head: "No!"
Jin Yuanbao said: "There is also a female shadow among the shadows. Do you want to call her to search her body?"
"How dare you!" Zingdang immediately became anxious upon hearing this. He wanted to stand up but was too weak to do so and suddenly fell to the ground.
She didn't want Feng Luo to help her, and looked around with malicious eyes: "You dare, any of you dare to touch my body, I will... I will bite my tongue and commit suicide!"
"Then let her die." Xia Chu was so angry that he reached out and slapped the armrest of the chair and blurted out an angry word.
At the same time, the door of the box "clanged" and someone kicked it open.
"Who do you want to die?"
An indifferent and majestic word slowly came from outside the door, and there was only the sound of clanking armor and a large number of officers and soldiers pouring in, surrounding the entire box.
The teahouse owner was wiping cold sweat and whispered to Jin Yuanbao: "General Lin won't give the villain a chance to speak..."
Jin Yuanbao understood and waved him out.
As if the shopkeeper had been granted amnesty, he quickly withdrew.
The atmosphere in the box suddenly became tense and extremely tense.
Xia Chuyi sat with his back to the door. When Lin Shengqin entered the door for the first time, he felt that the back was extremely familiar, but he didn't think too much, and his eyes fell directly on Ling Ding, who was paralyzed on the ground.
He took a step forward, lifted the bell up, stretched out his hand to check his consciousness, and was suddenly shocked: "Poisonous!"
Lingdang heard Mr. Ge talking about General Lin yesterday. He only heard that people gave him the nickname Lin Tiemian. He thought he should be a selfless kind of person.
She didn't know about the relationship between Lin Shengqin and Xia Chuyi. She was just making such a big fuss just to wait for his arrival. Now that she had a backer, she wasn't afraid of anyone anymore. She held his hand and said in a weak voice: "She
...She wants to poison me...she...catch her...catch her quickly..."
Lin Shengqin looked in the direction of the bell's finger, and what he saw was the person whose back he just saw.
This time I looked at it from the front, and what I saw was the delicate little face and delicate eyebrows.
A pair of willow eyebrows flew into the temples, and a pair of clear eyes under the eyebrows were like sharp blades with thousands of sharp edges. I could only feel a bright light suddenly appearing.
The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and there was a smile in her eyes, as if she had been staring at him for a long time.
He just felt as if a heavy hammer had hit his heart, as if something that had been suppressed for a long time burst out of the ground in an instant, and in a moment it grew into a towering tree that covered the sky and the sun.
"You..." He opened his mouth nonchalantly, but was unable to call out her name.
Xia Chuyi bent her bright eyes, stood up and walked to him, looking directly at him: "Long time no see, Young Master Lin, I wonder if you still remember me?"
Lin Shengqin had gone through a year of iron-blooded military training, but when he saw Xia Chuyi's unabashed gaze, he still unconsciously took a small step back.
"Miss Xia, long time no see."
A "young master" came over, and a "young lady" came over. When the two met after a year, they were extremely polite and strange.
Xia Chuyi thought about it carefully and realized that it was right. She wasn't very familiar with him at the beginning. She just took off his clothes. It would be more appropriate to say that they were enemies.
She tilted her head and looked at him. It turns out that a year can change a lot of people.
He was dressed in navy blue brocade clothes, and he didn't look as burly as the soldiers in armor. But his face was a little tanned, and his already handsome face now looked more and more like it had been cut with a knife.
The lines are three-dimensional and handsome.
Well, he has become a bit...mature.
It turns out that the confident and arrogant young master Lin from Yecheng is gone forever.
She laughed out loud, stretched out her hands toward him, and said jokingly: "I'm going to poison her to death, so you can arrest me and lock me up."
Lin Shengqin's eyes flashed, and he said with a serious face: "What's going on, please explain clearly first."
Bell on the side had a look of pride on his face, but when he heard it, he immediately got angry: "Isn't it clear enough? She has admitted that she wants to poison me to death! You... you don't care about the lives of ordinary people... you guys
Group of Dog Officers..."
She was already weak due to the poison and would cough after saying a few words. Everyone present frowned and looked at Xia Chuyi.
Xia Chuyi sighed, stretched out his hand and pressed Lin Shengqin's shoulder, indicating that he would talk to him later.
And she walked straight up to Lingdang with a cup of tea, grabbed her hand, stirred it in the tea, pinched her chin and force-fed her.
Seeing this, Lingdang immediately spit out the tea mixed with medicine. Xia Chu suddenly laughed: "You hid the antidote in your fingernails because you didn't want to die? If you spit out the water, you wouldn't be dead."
I have the antidote, and I will not spend time saving someone who is trying so hard to kill me. Just go and die, and I will live very gracefully. I will not bother you in Jiuquan.
I’m worried.”
"You have a beautiful idea!" Lingdang glared at Xia Chuyi angrily, but no more medicinal tea was spit out from his mouth.
Lin Shengqin was also a smart person. He immediately guessed the whole story from a few words on Xia Chuyi. Now he looked at the strange group of people in the room and couldn't help but frown.
After waving all the soldiers to retreat, he also sat down on a chair nearby.
The waiters in the teahouse quickly repaired the kicked-in door, served them new tea and snacks, and closed the door again.
Feng Luo was very concerned about Ling Ding who had taken the antidote this time and would not let her cause trouble again.
Lin Shengqin also raised his eyes to look at Xia Chuyi, and said bluntly: "Cangzhou City is not peaceful recently. If you are passing by, don't stay here for a long time. Leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning."
Xia Chuyi smiled at him: "General Lin, aren't the people who come to Cangzhou City at this time all suspicious elements? Why don't you just let us go?"
Lin Shengqin was a little breathless after being blocked by Xia Chuyi, thinking that after not seeing her for a year, this girl was even more unforgiving than before.
Now is the period of martial law in the whole city. Even if they have no problem, according to the usual practice, they have to be arrested and interrogated before they can be released.
He had just had a slight thought and wanted to tell her to leave quickly, but she said it directly...
The stern expression on his face relaxed a little, looking a little embarrassed.
However, Xia Chuyi secretly found it interesting, playing with a cup of tea in his hand, and asked: "Didn't you receive the imperial edict in Cangzhou? The emperor... wants to send the censor down to investigate the matter."
After a pause, she forcibly omitted the last two words of "Emperor". If outsiders heard this, it would be disrespectful and could lead to beheading.
Lin Shengqin nodded: "I know that, but the person who came to announce the decree said that he didn't know who the emperor sent. He just asked me to obey the orders of the person holding the Kowloon token."
When Xia Chu heard this, he immediately felt happy and silently held the Kowloon Golden Order in his arms tightly.
Lin Shengqin snorted coldly and continued: "But the censor hasn't come yet. He must be afraid of the situation here and doesn't dare to come, right?"
Hearing this, the shadows suppressed their laughter and felt very uncomfortable.
Jin Yuanbao smiled and looked at Xia Chuyi. He saw that little face was flushed red, and he stretched out a hand in his arms, as if he wanted to take something out, but was hesitating.
Lin Shengqin saw her sudden change in expression and quickly brought her a cup of tea: "What's wrong with you?"
Xia Chuyi threw the Nine Dragons Order on the table in an awkward manner. He tilted his eyes to one side and curled his lips and said, "I am the censor you mentioned."
