This pair of gold pendants and jade bracelets were jewelry that Xu Rouzhi had been wearing since she was married out. It was equivalent to a dowry or something like that.
When she mentioned earrings, the noodle store's owner was so shocked that her body trembled! Why, didn't the girl take the earring away?
Turning around to look, indeed, that golden leaf in the young master's hand, isn't that the earring that girl wanted to use to pay for the meal?
The owner of the noodle store suddenly felt her legs go soft and she nearly knelt down again!
The families of this small town had never seen the world before! [The young master in front of me must be rich or official, who knows how those two girls offended this young master!]
The owner of the noodle store was afraid that Qi Yu and Bi Su had done something that would implicate her, so she quickly pointed at the backyard, and said with a sobbing tone, "Those two girls were so pitiful. I invited them to a bowl of soup, then they headed towards the backyard! This humble woman does not know what crime those two young ladies have committed to offend Young Master, but I hope that Young Master can spare my life, and do not blame this humble woman! "
Chu Yixuan frowned: "You invited them to have a drink?"
The owner of the noodle store did not know whether she had done the right thing or not, but she quickly cried out, "Please forgive me young master, please forgive me!"
Chu Yixuan looked at Lu Ming, and Lu Ming understood. He immediately took out a silver ingot and said: "This silver ingot is for the two ladies to thank you for, my master will take this gold leaf back."
Seeing this, the man from the noodle store quickly waved his hands, "I dare not accept the silver taels. Young master should also take back the earrings. The two ladies are in the backyard. Young master, please follow me …"
The male owner of the noodle store led the way. Chu Yixuan put the earring in his hand, then led the guards towards the backyard. Lu Ming placed the silver on the table and quickly followed.
The owner of the noodle store was stunned for a long time, but she still couldn't react. She wiped the sweat off her forehead. Those two girls didn't offend this young master? On the contrary, what kind of important figure could it be?
The door to the woodshed in the backyard was opened.
One could clearly see from the firewood that someone was hiding inside. But now, the woodshed was empty. There was no one inside.
Lu Ming could not believe it, and immediately called out softly: "Bi Su? Bi Su? Are you in there? "
After all, there were only a few princes in the Ji City. If the news of an imperial concubine hiding in the wood house were to spread, people would immediately be able to guess which imperial concubine it was.
The woodshed was quiet.
Chu Yixuan turned his head to look at the footprint in the snow outside. It was clearly a sign that Bi Su was trying to use the lightness skills, so she couldn't help but frown and hint at Lu Ming: "Chase after him."
Lu Ming immediately chased him out of the house, looked at the rooftop and jumped up.
Other than the two who were left to protect Chu Yixuan, the other six bodyguards also followed Lu Ming and leapt up to the roof.
On the roof, there was a thick layer of snow. Within the snow, there were two rows of obvious footprints. However, those footprints were heading towards the entrance of the noodle shop.
There was only one line of footprints? This must be Bi Su's. The princess didn't know any martial arts, so perhaps it was because Bi Su had carried the princess on her back and ran away from the place on the roof.
Lu Ming then followed the footprints and flew to the entrance of the noodle shop, where he looked at the trembling owner of the noodle house: "Where is he?!"
The owner of the noodle store turned pale. "This humble woman doesn't know!"
The coachman who was left outside the door to watch the carriage said: "No one has come out of the noodle house."
Where is that man? Lu Ming was furious, he had actually disappeared into thin air?
At this time, Chu Yixuan had already walked out from the backyard and stood outside the noodle house with a gloomy face.
"He disappeared just like that?"
"..." "Yes."
Chu Yixuan's gaze was deep as he scanned the street, "Find another inn and restaurant!"
"Yes sir!"
Therefore, Lu Ming brought along his six bodyguards and made another trip to the inn and tavern. The seven of them split up and returned to Chu Yixuan's side with their heads lowered.
"Yet another failure?" Chu Yixuan's face darkened.
Lu Ming had a face full of shame: "This subordinate is incompetent, I believe, he has already left the small town, and has gone far."
Chu Yixuan's face was ashen. "Forget it, let's go!"
Helping Chu Yixuan up onto the carriage, Lu Ming waved his hands: "Let's go back to the city."
The master and wife of the noodle store were relieved of the burden of their worries. They hurriedly bowed and greeted him, "Young master, take care!"
The sound of the horse's hooves faded away. Once again jumping onto the rooftop and looking far away, Chu Yixuan and the rest did indeed leave Little Gao Town, and headed towards the Ji City.
Bi Su also returned to the woodshed as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and called out softly: "Miss, you can come out now."
Qi Yu pushed away the firewood and came out, gasping for breath, as she picked the grass on her body. "Aiya, I was suffocated!"
Bi Su also helped to pick the leaves on Qi Yu's hair, "They must have thought that we had gone far, that's why they left. Now that we are safe, we can go and find an inn to stay!"
Qi Yu nodded her head: "I almost fell asleep hiding in the firewood. Hurry and find an inn to sleep in."
Hearing the voice, they went back to the entrance of the firewood house, looking at Qi Yu and Bi Su, the master and wife of the noodle house were so shocked their faces turned ashen!
"You … You... Why is it still here? " The owner of the noodle store pointed at Bi Su in shock, then pointed at Qi Yu, not knowing what to say.
Bi Su said apologetically: "I'm sorry, head storekeeper. If we don't pretend to leave, they might not have left. -Don't worry, we will leave now, I won't bother you guys anymore!"
With that, Bi Su pulled Qi Yu and left.
The owner of the noodle house came back to her senses and said, "Hey, hey, don't go yet. Miss, your gold leaf has been taken away by that young master. There is silver ingot that was left here by that young master.
"No, Lady Boss!" Since he gave that silver to you, you can keep it! I hope you have good business in the coming year. We'll be back for a visit! " Qi Yu's voice followed the group into the distance.
Looking at the empty roof, the owner of the noodle shop was dumbfounded. There was a road on the ground, yet she still chose to walk on the roof! These two girls were truly strange!
Moreover, that servant girl was really strong. She could carry that girl on her back and even walk on the roof as if she was flying!
The master of the noodle store stared blankly at the roof, "Boss, what do you think the relationship between these two ladies and that young master is?"
"The way I see it, the girl who gave you the earring must be that young master's lover, right? It must be that the young lady thought that the Young Noble was lame and escaped the marriage! "
"Ah?" Why did it seem like they weren't enemies? Or could it be that this lady stole something of value from that Young Noble, offended him, and ran away? "
"It can't be? If this young lady stole something of value from that young master, would she still not have the money to stay in an inn and pay for her meals with earrings? "
"That's true. Then maybe they have a grudge? "
"A grudge? I don't think so. Do you think that young master will be able to recognize his enemy's earring at a glance? The young master used a silver ingot to redeem the earring, and then tightly gripped it in his hand as if it were a treasure. That young master was clearly not a poor family, he shouldn't treat the two hollow golden leaves as treasures, right? It should be that young master who values this lady's item so he holds it tightly in his palm, afraid of losing it. "
"Just based on these two?"
"Also, that Young Master came all the way to this woodshed, but after shouting twice, no one replied and left. If an enemy comes here, shouldn't you use your sword to stab him a few times before stopping? "
"That's true!" The noodle shop owner nodded.
The noodle store owner sighed, "Aiya, it's best to avoid this kind of thing happening! No, it was better not to let it happen! That girl even said to come back in the future, I hope she doesn't come back! "
"Don't say that either." "After all, this girl is quite generous and knows how to repay favors. If you drink a bowl of soup and eat a plate of meat, you will reward us with golden leaves.
"Not really." The noodle store owner shook her head and said, "Alright, pack up and go back quickly!"
In the relatively shabby inn in the middle of the small high town, Bi Su and Qi Yu finally stopped.
En, it was using the jewelry that he had on him to pay for the room. Although he had lost his earring, the jade bracelet was given to Yu Tian previously, and he lost the golden hairpin on his head when the Xu’s Medical Center escaped, leaving only a silver chain on his belt. The shopkeeper weighed the silver chain, and agreed to give them a room to sleep in for the night.
Attention! Just for a night!
However, no matter what, there was still a place for him to rest for the night.
Returning to her room to get Qi Yu settled down, Bi Su went to get a basin of hot water to wash her face. After that, she came back to silently accompany Qi Yu: "Miss, what should we do tomorrow?"
That's right! They had left the Prince Qi Palace, had left Feng Qingmo, and had cut off all sources of income.
Qi Yu thought for a moment, then asked: "Do you think that there are any poor families in this village that can't live for more than a year like us?"
Bi Su was startled: "This … Maybe? "Maybe not?"
"I'll go, it's as if I didn't answer." Qi Yu put on a serious face and coughed, "En, if that's the case, let's go and investigate tomorrow. If there are people who are still living as hard as us, let's go and rob the rich and help the poor!"
Bi Su was shocked: "This isn't right, right?"
"I know it's not good." Qi Yu rubbed his stomach, sighed, and lay down on the bed, "However, I still have to fill my stomach! "Of course, if you don't want to rob good people, then we will just pick out those rich and heartless ones. We will just leave some money to eat, and the rest will be distributed to the commoners!"
"Wouldn't it be even more eye-catching if I were to be found guilty?" What if the imperial government sends someone to investigate? "
There was no place to hide, no place to hide!
What Bi Su wanted to say was that, since she couldn't find us, she decided to leave. If the people from the imperial court come to capture the thief, they wouldn't let us go so easily.
Of course, Bi Su did not want to attack Qi Yu, she was just surprised, did Feng Qingmo not realise that they had left? Why didn't he come to them?
