Chapter 20 Sister Shi Niu, Don't Get Into Too Deep
There seems to be a bad feeling. Of course, this is just a feeling and there is no evidence.
The shopkeeper seemed to notice Shi Yi's abnormality and said to him with a smile:
"Don't be nervous, I don't know what to call this brother? Four generations of villains have all worked for the Xiahou family."
Having said this, he seemed a little emotional and continued:
"Since the Xiahou family was raided and executed a few months ago, we secret forces seem to have lost our backbone."
"We all hope that the queen can escape and lead us to restore the prestige of the Xiahou family."
He had been talking to Shi Yi, but Shi Yi didn't say much.
Instead, I was secretly vigilant in my heart, no matter whether the shopkeeper was playing some trick or not.
Or maybe he was overthinking it, but Shi Yi felt that he couldn't be careless.
If he hadn't experienced the Su Rongrong incident, perhaps Shi Yi wouldn't have thought too much.
As long as the shopkeeper can match the code, he will hand the Queen's letter to the shopkeeper.
It was different now. He did not write to the shopkeeper immediately, nor did he tell the purpose of his visit.
Entering a secret room, the shopkeeper asked Shi Yi to sit while he went to pour tea for Shi Yi.
He didn't mind that Shi Yi didn't respond to him. If this was placed on others, it would be disrespectful to others.
"Brother, please have some tea."
The shopkeeper handed the tea cup to Shi Yi and motioned for him to drink.
Seeing that Shi Yi didn't move, he smiled and poured himself a glass.
He blew the tea gently and took a sip.
Shi Yi still didn't drink tea, but was thinking about what the shopkeeper said before.
It is said that four generations of their family have been serving the Xiahou family.
In this case, it does sound very loyal.
He couldn't find anything wrong with it, let alone have any evidence that the shopkeeper was not one of his own.
"Excuse me, shopkeeper, have you always been in charge of Fengxiao Restaurant?"
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.
"This brother, you can call me Li Qiang, or shopkeeper Li, I don't know what you call me?"
This was the second time he asked Shi Yi's name.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Li has announced his identity, and Shi Yi is no longer hiding it.
However, he still kept an eye on it.
"I am under Yishi, and I just came to the imperial city from other places. I wanted to enter the palace to meet the empress, but I heard that I was thrown into the cold palace. Alas!"
Shi Yi's tone was a bit sighing, as if he was a little disappointed.
Shopkeeper Li was deep in thought, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while.
"Brother Yi, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the Queen. Why don't you stay here and I'll think of a way to see if I can arrange for you to enter the palace."
"If you see the Queen, see if you can ask her to give you a list of contacts with other hidden forces."
"How about we get in touch and work together to find a way to rescue the empress?"
Shopkeeper Li looked at Shi Yi quietly, as if asking Shi Yi to agree.
Shi Yi finally understood that the queen was probably the only one who knew about the secret power of the Xiahou family.
He nodded and wanted to observe Shopkeeper Li more. If he had no questions, he could give the letter to him.
If he has a problem, he can leave immediately.
Then the two of them left the secret room, and shopkeeper Li arranged a superior room for Shi Yi.
"Brother Yi, if anything happens, you can ask the waiter to come to me at any time. I won't disturb Brother Yi."
"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper Li."
Afterwards, the two of them bowed to each other, and shopkeeper Li left.
Shi Yi closed the door and was thinking about today's events.
It seems that except for a bad premonition when I first came into contact with Shopkeeper Li, nothing seems to be wrong.
If there was anything wrong with Shopkeeper Li, it was only his behavior that seemed to be somewhat different from what the Queen described.
Of course, the Queen also said that her description may not be correct because she has not had any contact with it.
I've only seen it on the list of secret forces in the Xiahou family, and there was an introduction written on it.
That list must have been burned by the Xiahou family, otherwise, if the emperor knew about it, those people would definitely be killed.
Shi Yi was lying on the bed, thinking constantly in his mind.
Suddenly, he remembered something. Who was that little girl trading with with the hairpin?
He stood up from the bed all of a sudden. He didn't know whether the little girl had completed the transaction at this time? Did she leave?
Thinking of this, he rushed out quickly, but still pretended that nothing happened.
Before he fully believed in Shopkeeper Li, he didn't want to attract Shopkeeper Li's attention.
When we arrived at the restaurant in front, there was no little girl on the first floor.
This was already discovered when he followed him in.
The only possibility was that it was on the second floor. When he went up to the second floor, there were several tables of customers.
However, there was no sign of the little girl.
This made Shi Yi confused, so he might leave.
I originally wanted to ask shopkeeper Li and the waiter, but in the end I gave up the idea.
Because he had a bold idea, that hairpin seemed to be a way to convey a message.
And it is still related to the queen, maybe it is the secret strength of the Xiahou family.
There is another possibility: Did the little girl give the hairpin to Shopkeeper Li?
In any case, the current shopkeeper Li also has a secret code. At least on the surface, he is one of the queen's secret forces.
Also the most likely person.
Just when he was about to go downstairs, he saw Su Rongrong and Shi Niu coming out of the guest room.
Without thinking, Shi Yi turned around again, avoiding the two of them.
Unexpectedly, the two of them went upstairs, so Shi Yi had to find an inconspicuous place to sit down.
With his back to the door, he would not attract the two people's attention.
“Sister Shi Niu, just order whatever you want to eat, my little sister’s treat.”
"Rongrong, I don't care, whatever."
"What? Are you still thinking about that boy? Look at how distracted you are all day long, ugh! Is it really that charming to do something like that with a man? It fascinates you."
Su Rongrong teased Shi Niu, which made Shi Niu's cheeks turn red.
However, she did not hide it, but said it.
"Rong Rong, you don't understand what it feels like. You will know when you have a man in the future."
"He is really different. He is the strongest man I have ever seen."
At this point, her cheeks turned red again.
Even though they were talking quietly, they were sitting at the table behind Shi Yi.
The distance was so close, and after Shi Yi practiced the Overlord Magic, his hearing was so good that he could hear every word.
Being praised like this by a woman, Shi Yi felt very happy.
Shi Yi is very clear about his current strength. That night in the woodshed, if Shi Niu didn't beg for mercy, Shi Yi could have continued.
"Sister Shi Niu, don't get too involved. This person may be our enemy."
"If you are caught by me, I will not show mercy. When the time comes, don't be stupid, understand? You can't ruin our big event because of him."
Su Rongrong was warning Shi Niu. What else could Shi Niu say? She had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Shi Yi turned his head slightly, only to be hit by Su Rongrong's hot temper.
"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will chop off your head."
He really looks like a bandit, always fighting and killing, but there is no trace of a girlish atmosphere.
Shi Yi didn't want to be recognized by her, so he ignored her.
However, Su Rongrong still did not let him go.
"Why do I think this guy is that kid?"
She said, stood up, and reached out to pull Shi Yi.
