Returnee in Jianghu - C25

“What has Young Master been doing these past few days?” Ning Ziqing was carrying a cup of tea in his hand. He had just finished reading the report that was sent to his residence by the military. The army of the Sunset Kingdom was still stretching across the 1000 miles to the northwest of Da Ning. The Liang Prefecture, which was guarded by the Black Abyss Army, finally had a cold wind in the autumn, causing the war to abruptly calm down.

The papers on the table were arranged in a mess, and Nian Xia was helping Ning Ziqing clean them up. As he listened to Ning Ziqing’s questions, he replied, “I didn’t do anything, but spent most of my time at home. Yesterday, I went out, and I didn’t get anyone to follow me. There was even someone who accompanied that Old Gu to drink and talk. ”

With regards to the existence of fish in the river, Xia Nian was still quite attentive. No matter how one put it, the fish in the river was still the young master of the prince’s mansion. In terms of relationships, he had calmed down a bit with his mistress, but that did not mean that he did not trust Jiang Youyu.

“When you go back tonight, help me choose two sets of clothes. Then ask Housekeeper Liu to bring some of the good wine from the mansion to my small yard.” Ning Ziqing frowned. He had been busy with the matters of the Black Abyss Army all this time. Even if he married Jiang Youyu, it would be a farce. However, Ning Ziqing was not someone who would lower his head to apologize. He had dragged things out until today, only thinking that he should still help Jiang Youyu pick out a few sets of clothes.

It was late autumn and the sky had turned cold. It was just like yesterday’s autumn rain. It would only take a few days for the weather to turn cold.

With a strange expression, Nian Xia looked at the cold and aloof Ning Ziqing and nodded his head, indicating that he would remember. He was thinking about how his young miss had gotten married and how she had started to take care of her life. After all, he needed to live with Young Master for a long time, and he needed to act as if he was going to live his life.

Under Nian Xia’s gaze, a trace of uneasiness appeared on Ning Ziqing’s cold face. He coughed dryly and asked Nian Xia to call Xu Ziyan. She had always told Xu Ziyan to find out who had killed him in the middle of the road. Since they were able to use the military’s prohibited goods, then this group of people must not be simple. However, it was because this force was not simple that Ning Ziqing had put his heart into it. If he was able to control the Abyss King’s Mansion and the Black Abyss Army, then he would not be a merciful person.

Xu Ziyan had always been staying at the prince’s mansion and had always been checking out who that group of people came from. However, what made Xu Ziyan helpless was that even after searching for so many days, there was still no result.

However, what was fortunate was that Xu Ziyan was able to comfort him. An informant from the Abyss King’s Mansion in the capital said that this group of people could possibly appear on the black market in a few days’ time. Therefore, during these two days, Xu Ziyan stayed in the prince’s mansion, planning to pick some experts from the Black Abyss Army’s rotations and prepare to head to the black market.

“Lieutenant, although there are no rules in the black market, it’s not something we can mess around with.” Xu Ziyan gathered a few princes’ manors and went to the side yard. He told them that he was going to capture the fanatic who had attacked Ning Ziqing on the black market. After that, the guards of several princes’ mansions disagreed one after another.

They were merely the ordinary guards of the prince’s mansion, although they had some status and status in the mansion due to their higher cultivation. However, the status of the manor was not enough for the black market. Furthermore, those who dared to enter the black market were all well-known figures in this world, even in the whole of Great Ning. In that case, as guards, they were also unwilling to take the risk of going to the black market.

“Old Wu, as the saying goes, this person needs to know his gratitude.” “The palace is good for all of us. Now that Princess Ning has been killed by an inexplicable attack, if we don’t help out, then tell us for yourselves what use is it for the palace to support you?” Xu Ziyan narrowed his eyes. Although in his heart, he also couldn’t see the guards of this group of princes’ houses, since he didn’t have any available manpower, he could only restrain his thoughts and communicate with them.

The guards of the manor were all old foxes. Indeed, the manor was treating them well. However, they couldn’t risk their lives just because this mansion wasn’t bad. They all knew how cruel the black market was. It was a place without the laws of the world, a place where even the northern overseers of the south yard could not get their hands on. If any of them went in, they would not be able to return.

The protective yard of the mansion had been peaceful for too long. Very few people had the courage to fight for their lives in the martial world now.

“Like what the lieutenant said, we are naturally grateful for the food that the king gave us, but our family has a family of both old and young, it can’t be that just because of what the captain said, we don’t care about our family, right? So, I must apologize to the lieutenant. ” An elder guard looked at Xu Ziyan coldly, as he had already figured out Xu Ziyan’s thoughts. Your Prince Xu Ziyan’s bodyguard made a mistake. In the end, he only brought two or three of his subordinates, who were still lying in the infirmary, back to the capital. With such an incident, the imperial concubine naturally wouldn’t let Xu Ziyan off. Although she was protected by the princess, who knew what the princess was thinking?

Besides, the comparison between the royal concubine and the princess was quite obvious. They were all intelligent people. Although this mansion wasn’t small, there were only a few things and only one person in charge.

Nian Xia had found Xu Ziyan, and Xu Ziyan was the one who had coldly escorted the guards away. Seeing that Nian Xia had arrived, he quickly walked past a few guards and greeted Nian Xia. Those guards were tactful as well. Everyone knew that Nian Xia was one of the princess’ trusted aides. Although there was no need to curry favor with Nian Xia in such a situation, there was no need to offend him.

With a faint smile, she returned the greeting and watched as the guards all left. It was Xia Nian who had Xu Ziyan accompany her to see Ning Ziqing.

Jiang Youyu rarely ate outside. After all, he did not have much money with him, so he had to bring Old Gu to drink some wine. This made Jiang Youyu, who did not have much money to begin with, feel even more embarrassed. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of borrowing some money from Ning Ziqing, but when he thought about the fact that he didn’t have much in the way of money, he couldn’t bring himself to ask Ning Ziqing for money. Therefore, Jiang Youyu had always been very honest at home eating.

It must have been a little cold yesterday, and the heavy rain made Auntie Xue feel a little uncomfortable. The small courtyard didn’t hire any extra helpers either. There was a fish waiting for noon to arrive, so the only thing they could do was to go out and deal with it.

Old Gu said he had to take care of Xiao Hong, and he also thought that he would always make some simple meals. Furthermore, he had to look at Auntie Xue along the way, so he didn’t go along with her. As he walked out of the door, he felt around his pockets for a bit and thought for a while. This little bit of silver definitely could not be used to go to those restaurants. At most, he could only go to some small noodle shops and have a casual meal.

It was a good thing that Jiang Youyu still had some impression of this land. He knew more or less where this land had some tasty dishes and where it was cheaper.

There was a lot of delicious food in this world. When they returned to this world, Jiang Youyu spent most of her time by Ning Ziqing’s side. It was rare to see fish that traveled around this land. He was taking advantage of this opportunity to savor the taste of his memories.

Falling Rain Lane was bustling as usual. It was unknown where this land had come from. These young masters and young misses from aristocratic families who did not know fatigue and were always gathering at Falling Rain Lane. Thus, Falling Rain Lane seemed to be much more prosperous than the other streets of the city. At this moment, Jiang Youyu was walking into Falling Rain Lane. It was probably because of the light rain that followed last night. The leaves that covered Falling Rain Lane occasionally dripped with the late autumn wind.

Fortunately, the sun rose a bit today, so it wasn’t scorching hot, but it wasn’t bone-chilling cold either. Thus, the water droplets that sprinkled down from time to time could only make people shrink back. Of course, those young masters and mistresses were holding up umbrellas and folding fans, and there were quite a few men and women who were deeply in love with each other. He made a painting of how the mountains and rivers were shattered, and how he only cared about the beauty in front of him.

Jiang Youyu shook her head and quickly crossed the street. After many turns and turns, they finally entered a small restaurant.

Just like the spaghetti, most people liked to eat noodles and most people liked to eat beans. Jiang Youyu remembered that she had some money in her possession when she was living in the capital. She wanted to find something to eat in the Rainfall Lane. Of course, this was still the regular bean shop.

The owner of the bean shop hadn’t changed. The sturdy middle-aged man in his memory had aged quite a bit by now. However, his smile hadn’t changed at all. The little girl who used to follow the busy middle-aged man around had grown up to be tall and straight. Her originally pretty face became more and more attractive when compared to her figure. It was as if compared to the bean sprouts in her memory, this girl who still carried along a bit of youth was even more memorable.

Therefore, when he had just entered the shop, Yu Youshu was sizing up the little girl who always liked to place more green onions and flowers in front of him. Unknowingly, a smile had appeared on his face.

It was indeed true that she had changed at the age of eighteen.

Miss Dou Hua, who was tidying up the table, saw Jiang You Yu enter the shop. She was about to greet him, but when she saw him staring at her with a smile, she retracted her smile.

At that time, Jiang Youyu had given the girl a nickname, probably because he had followed his father, but no one would give her a name. Xiao Ya’s name also followed the girl until one day the girl asked Jiang You Yu what her name was, and Jiang You Yu told her his name. Later on, perhaps because his name was too unpleasant to listen to, but when Jiang Youyu asked what was her name, the girl never mentioned it. In the meantime, Jiang Youyu gave a nickname for the little lass from before.

“What do you want to eat?” Miss Dou Hua could not refuse the business that came to her door. Although she did not like Jiang Youyu, she still went up to greet him.

Jiang Youyu pulled out a chair and sat down. She sized up the young lady Dou Hua from head to toe before ordering the cheapest green onion bean flower under the impatient look on the young lady’s face.

There weren’t many people in the store, and it was only noon. Most people wouldn’t come here to eat bean curd food.

Thus, the Miss Dou Hua was not busy. He helped Jiang Youyu carry a bowl of green beans from the middle-aged man, which only had a few pieces of green onions floating in front of it. Then, he put it down right in front of Jiang Youyu.

Jiang You Yu smiled. He probably knew that the way he was staring at her made her feel embarrassed. As a result, she scooped out the many green onions in her bowl and carried them to Jiang Youyu with an apologetic look in her eyes, looking at the slightly hunched middle-aged man.

However, there was no way that a fish in a river could argue with a bean flower girl over such things. Thus, he looked at the young lady Dou Hua sitting at the other table in front of him with a very calm expression. Then, he began to quietly eat the scalding bean blossom.

“Hey, Old Yu, have you prepared your salary for this month?” He was eating the bean curd and savoring the taste of the bean curd as he walked into the shop. He was holding a wooden stick while peeking at his clothes and chest. He lifted the curtain to block the sunlight. Old Yu, who was roasting the beans, quickly threw away the work in his hands and walked in front of Qing Pei with a panicked expression.

“Tiger Lord, you should relax for a few more days, right?” These geniuses of yours must go, it’s only been three to five days, little second brother really can’t afford to spend this much money. ” As he spoke, Old Yu, who was begging for mercy, bowed even lower. However, it was obvious that Qing Zi had no interest in caring whether Old Yu had or not.

A few green-skinned men with obscene smiles surrounded Old Yu, looking at the young lady Dou Hua who was glaring at them, “You still don’t understand what Tiger Lord means. As long as you are obedient and let our young lady follow our Tiger Lord, Tiger Lord will not go and ask for an exception for money, right?” Qing Pi, who was beside Tiger Lord, put his hand on Old Yu’s shoulder. When he saw Old Yu’s face filled with fear, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“That’s right. Being able to catch the eyes of Tiger Lord is a blessing for your young lady. Isn’t that so, little beauty? ” Tiger Lord was smirking lewdly at her. As he said this, Tiger Lord signaled to the few men with green skin beside him. Those who were more sensible and understood his boss’ intentions, so they slowly surrounded her.

“That won’t do! I’m just a daughter. Please, Tiger Lord, please let us father and daughter go.” Old Yu grabbed Tiger Lord with both hands, looking at him as he was about to be surrounded and begged for his daughter.

However, Tiger Lord wasn’t someone with soft ears.

“Look, you can’t afford it, so it’s not like I won’t give you a chance.” Lord Tiger’s face was filled with excitement as he looked at the little beauty who was flapping her hands. Lord Tiger’s face was flushed red.

“Go away, go away.” Surrounded by a group of green-skinned girls, Miss Dou Hua was so scared that her face turned pale. Her body continuously retreated, but this shop was still so big, how far could she retreat if she retreated?
