Chapter seven hundred and seventy sixth being followed
The capital city of Dong proud country.
After Du Lao's high fever subsided, he quietly hid in the yard to recuperate.
When Hua Chi learned that Du Lao's high fever had subsided, he went over there and told her personally, "You can rest in peace and recuperate. The seat next to me is still vacant. I will wait for you to come back after you recover. Also, you are not allowed to step into the Yun family in the future."
.”
After that, Du Lao seemed to have completely calmed down. He did not take a step out of the courtyard gate for several days in a row, trying his best to recover from his injuries. In his own words, he wanted to return to Hua Chi as soon as possible and do his best.
.
In the past few days, Xie Yao and others have been living a much smoother life without Hua Chi coming to visit and Miss Yu interrupting them, and the restaurant's business is also booming.
During this period, the Protector General's Mansion sent people to deliver some rewards to the restaurant, and also explained that the temporary change of the menu was due to the servant's own negligence, and that the servant had been severely punished.
When Xie Wenwu returned to his residence and mentioned the incident, both General Xie and Xie Yao were a little surprised.
"It seems that the General Protector's Office has some rules when it comes to doing things." General Xie said with a calm expression.
Finding out the changes to the menu was entirely an internal matter within the Protector General's Mansion. There was no need for them to make a special trip to the restaurant to inform them and digest the news themselves, and no outsiders would know.
But since they did this, it proves that there are rules and principles in doing things.
Xie Yao thought of Tian Quan and asked Xie Wenwu: "According to time calculation, Tian Quan should have arrived at the border long ago. Is there anything going on there?"
Because most of the secret guards are near the restaurant, where there are many people for easy cover, most of the information the secret guards gather will be sent to the restaurant as soon as possible.
Whoever goes to take care of the restaurant will tell you what news he got today when he comes back.
Xie Wenwu's expression suddenly darkened and he looked over, "There is news, I was about to say it. News came back from the border that after Tian Quan arrived at the border, he was going to train troops outside the city with great fanfare to build up his momentum.
!But it was just arranged the first day and canceled the next day!”
"Because they got the news that King Han, who appeared in Jiangning City before, disappeared."
Hearing the next few words, Xie Yao's eyebrows suddenly jumped and her heart sank, "Disappeared?"
"Yes. King Han only stayed in Jiangning City for about six hours and then completely disappeared. No one knows where he went." Xie Wenwu said, always paying attention to Xie Yao's expression.
Seeing that Xie Yao's expression was a little solemn, he quickly squeezed out a smile from the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, sister. Emperor Zhaochu had previously issued a decree to make him an admiral and let him guard the border. It must be because of this that he appeared in Jiangning City.
Taoist edict."
"I think he may have returned to Beijing because of some things."
Xie Yao raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Wenwu, then her face turned as usual and she twitched the corners of her mouth, "Brother really thinks he has gone back?"
Xie Wenwu was speechless for a moment.
General Xie shook his head and sighed, "Wen Wu, please don't comfort her with such poor reasons. She knows King Han better than you do."
Xie Wenwu suddenly realized and smiled awkwardly at Xie Yao, "I don't want you to be distracted by these things."
"I know that he went to Jiangning City most likely because he got the news that we appeared there. As for now..."
He hesitated for a moment and did not say the next words.
Xie Yao slightly raised the corners of her lips, "Now, he should be no longer in Wanqi Country."
She knew he was looking for her.
Her current identity is the daughter of a traitor.
Emperor Zhaochu is worthy of being the emperor of a country, and his methods are extremely clever. He only used one move and an imperial edict to create the current situation.
Seeing Xie Yao's words, Xie Wenwu looked at him with concern, his face a little solemn, "Sister, are you worried about him coming to Dongao Country?"
When Xie Yao heard this, her heart moved, and she secretly asked herself, was she worried about him coming?
Seeing that Xie Yao didn't respond, Xie Wenwu thought that he had guessed correctly. When he saw Xie Yao's expression getting darker, he felt that his heart was becoming depressed and sinking along with it.
"Sister, actually you don't have to worry. Even if he leaves Wanqi Country, he may still go to Nanling Country, Nanzhao Country, and the possibility of coming to Dongao Country is only one-third."
"Even if he really comes to Dongao Country, he may not be able to find us..."
Xie Yao heard the concern and worry in Xie Wenwu's words and smiled at him, "Brother, I'm fine. Wherever he goes, let him go. Even if we meet, it doesn't matter. He won't bring us all down after all.
Caught and escorted back to the capital."
Seeing Xie Yao say this, Xie Wenwu didn't know what to say.
Old General Xie had been watching silently from the side. Seeing that Xie Wenwu was a little embarrassed and at a loss, he changed the subject, "Yao'er, the secret guard found out that several other major restaurants in the capital had lost their lives because of our appearance.
, I was robbed of a lot of business and felt dissatisfied."
"Recently, they have been moving around frequently and seem to be discussing countermeasures."
Xie Yao pursed her lips and regained her composure, "Let them discuss it. The purpose of buying the restaurant was to collect information conveniently. If they want to give it to them, let's buy another one."
She is not afraid of competition, but if she has the energy, she might as well open more businesses.
Their purpose is to collect information, not to make money.
If she really wants to make money, she can just make a few dishes and earn a lot of money.
"That's what I mean. I've already asked people to pay attention. If you have time later, go out and look for it. You see these things much better than those secret guards." Old General Xie said gently, with a smile on his face.
With kind eyes.
"Okay, I'll go back and clean up. I'll be there soon." Xie Yao responded.
She knew that her grandfather could send her away and let her go out to relax. She happened to be a little bored staying in the mansion, so she might as well go for a walk.
After Xie Yao left, General Xie glared at Xie Wenwu fiercely, "Look at the good things you have done! I will tell you all the news!"
Xie Wenwu was also helpless. After all, the information was stored in the restaurant. Xie Yao would check it every time he went there. He couldn't hide it unless the information was completely destroyed.
But if Xie Yao deliberately concealed it, he would feel guilty.
He didn't want to hide anything from Xie Yao.
"Grandpa, I know I was wrong!" Xie Wenwu naturally would not contradict Old General Xie, but could only nod in agreement.
When General Xie saw Xie Wenwu's look, his eyes softened again, "Okay, you have been busy all day, go and rest."
"yes."
In the afternoon, the sun has turned westward, and the sunlight falling is not as bright as at noon, but it is still enough to shine on the ground and dispel the darkness.
After Xie Yao came out, she walked on the street, enjoying the warm sunshine and taking a leisurely stroll.
As she walked forward slowly, there was a shadow hiding in the dark far behind her, watching her every move.
