The proprietress finally couldn’t help herself anymore and almost couldn’t hold back the smile on her face. She stood up holding the wine pot and said, “Well, in-in that case, the guest, please wait a moment, the servant won’t disturb you anymore.”
Ji Yujin: “Eh, although my wife is stingy, but…”
The proprietress’s eyes were red with anger. Stop! Please don’t tell me anymore!
Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden sound of porcelain breaking from the table in front of him. The noise in the whole room fell silent like a bolt of thunder, and all eyes were drawn to it.
Chu Fengqing lowered his eyes to glance at the debris on the ground, still with his back to Ji Yujin, and coldly said, “Sorry, my hand slipped.”
When Ji Yujin heard the clear voice, he raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and for some reason did not continue speaking.
Finally! They’re saved!!
Everyone in the room, whether it was the proprietress or the people from Xichang, looked at Chu Fengqing’s back as if he were a Bodhisattva, wishing they could set up an altar and kneel down to worship him.
The proprietress took this opportunity to flee, and she did not forget to take the pot of wine with her on her way. A man with a family was not worthy of drinking her wine for free!
In the past, she was the only one who teased others and scared them away, and she had never been scared by anyone. Although she was not convinced, her face, which had just recovered, turned ugly again when she thought of Ji Yujin’s words. She looked at Ji Yujin and really couldn’t understand how such an eight-foot-tall man could be inferior to others.
She wondered who could subdue such a man. It should be a big man who was nine feet tall, had a full beard, and was extremely strong.
The nine-foot-tall, bearded, and powerful man—Chu Fengqing shuddered again. He pursed his pale lips and realized that he was indeed wearing too little.
The proprietress looked at Ji Yujin’s team and Chu Fengqing at the same time. Logically, Chu Fengqing should have fallen down by now, but why didn’t he react? She was also afraid that Chu Fengqing’s fall would arouse suspicion from the other team, so she wanted to get the leader drunk first, but the other party refused to take it.
Just like what the waiter said, this group of people looked like they were not easy to deal with. What if they got suspicious and started taking action first… As she thought about it, she broke out in a cold sweat. She had to let her brothers take the initiative.
The waiter was also busy preparing the dishes. The drugging required skill—not too much nor too little—and it had to be invisible to others while still being able to drug the other party. However, he had mastered it now and could easily control the amount.
Chu Fengqing was thinking about how to quietly get rid of the person who ruined his reputation and was full of nonsense. Should he use Wudu Powder or Shexie Powder? Wudu Powder would make a person’s body completely destroyed, but when Shexie Powder releases its poison, the mouth will rot first. Chu Fengqing thought that it was quite appropriate.
Alright, that was just what he said in anger. After Ji Yujin came, he felt inexplicably relieved. Although these dozen people seemed a little insufficient among hundreds of people, but Ji Yujin must have been prepared for coming in.
If he hasn’t noticed that this is a bandit’s den yet, Ji Yujin can also change his career.
The most important question now is—how can he escape from Ji Yujin without exposing his identity…
Chu Fengqing expressionlessly thought about how he had repeatedly promised Ji Yujin that he would not run around before he left the city. If he were to be discovered by him here…
In this situation, if it fell into Ji Yujin’s hands, it would not be much better than falling into the hands of those bandits.
Headache.
Ji Yujin suddenly realized that since this proprietress had flirted with him, she must have flirted with Chu Fengqing as well. He frowned slightly, randomly tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and suddenly he didn’t want to play anymore.
He curled his lips and looked at Chu Fengqing, saying, “Young Master in front, it must be lonely for you to eat alone, do you want to share a table with me?”
It really is what you fear will come true.
Chu Fengqing was stunned for a moment. When did Ji Yujin have this hobby? He lowered his voice and said, “No need.”
Ji Yujin: “Don’t be so polite. When you are out and about, why do we need to know each other? Isn’t it good to make more friends?”
Chu Fengqing: “I… am used to being alone.”
Ji Yujin raised his eyebrows. Seeing Chu Fengqing like this, he felt both angry and wanted to laugh. He’s scared now, so why did he come here earlier? However, he had no intention of stopping and did not really walk over. He just teased him: “Are you scared?”
Chu Fengqing: “……”
Ji Yujin: “Don’t be afraid. Although I like men, but I only like my wife. Not all men are alright. But if you are very beautiful, it’s a different story.”
He paused, raised his eyebrows, and said even more brazenly, “My wife likes good-looking men like me. Why don’t you come over and have a drink with me? I’ll introduce you to him. Maybe we’ll walk into the same door tomorrow.”
The proprietress: “……” What the hell! Is this such a big deal?! Is he looking for a concubine for his wife?! Is it because she has seen too little of the world?!
Everyone in Xichang: “!!” The Governor is so magnanimous! He is indeed a real man! They are the ones who are narrow-minded.
Chu Fengqing: “……” Let’s use Shexie Powder. Dog Ji shouldn’t have a mouth.
Ji Yujin: “Why? Don’t want to? Then take a look at me.”
He smiled and said, “From the back, I think you are the type I like. Even the back of your head is so pretty. How about you be my wife?”
Then Chu Fengqing’s whole body turned red. He held the cup for a moment and wanted to quit and go find Ji Yujin to fight.
It was at this time that the food on Ji Yujin’s table was finally served.
The waiter: “Sir, your dishes have been served. Please enjoy your meal.”
Ji Yujin nodded, Chu Fengqing breathed a sigh of relief and calmed himself down. The waiter subconsciously looked at the table of food.
“Is there anything else?” Ji Yujin looked up at him.
When the waiter met Ji Yujin’s eyes, he suddenly felt a little weak. Are these medicines really effective?
But he still looked relatively calm. “No, no, enjoy your meal.”
Seeing that Chu Fengqing was still ignoring him, Ji Yujin stopped teasing him and had to leave some words for themselves.
All the people in Xichang were specially trained. They moved in unison and had strict discipline. They obeyed Ji Yujin’s orders in every word and action. Even when the food was served on the table, everyone just took a look, and no one picked up their chopsticks.
After a while, Ji Yujin waved his hand, and everyone started moving.
The waiter’s eyes narrowed slightly, and it was unknown what he was thinking of, his expression suddenly became very ugly. When he passed by the proprietress, the two exchanged glances.
The proprietress looked at him with the words “out of order”.
At this moment, the man in charge of searching the stables suddenly ran over, making quite a noise, and everyone looked towards him.
The man looked at the people in the room, swallowed, and fear was hidden deep in his pupils.
Everyone stared at each other in silence for a while until the female shopkeeper spoke up, “Xiao Bao, what’s wrong? I asked you to clean the rooms, so why are you standing here?”
The proprietress’s eyes were sharp. Xiao Bao came back to his senses and scratched the back of his head. “My-my broom is missing. Come and look for it.”
Then he walked to the waiter and said in a very low voice and very quickly, “There are official seals on the horses. These people belong to the government.”
The waiter’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he almost dropped the tray in his hand.
Xiao Bao: “What should we do now?”
The waiter’s face was ferocious, and his teeth were almost broken. If he knew who brought these people here, he would tear him to pieces, but what else could they do now?
He lowered his voice and viciously said, “What the hell else can we do? Go all out! Let’s do it!”
Xiao Bao: “Damn it! Are you crazy? These are people from the imperial court. Do you still want to live? We said before that we would never mess with people from the imperial court. Do you want to overturn the rules now?”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
“Waiter, why do I feel like there’s something wrong with this food?” Ji Yujin asked with a smile, half leaning on a chair, holding a piece of meat between his chopsticks.
The waiter suddenly felt his head go numb. He licked his lips, grabbed the man’s collar, and viciously said, “Listen to me! Gather all the brothers and take their weapons. I’ll hold off for a while; otherwise, none of us will survive.”
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Ji Yujin and put on a smiling face. “Sir, is there anything wrong with the food?”
Ji Yujin said word by word, “Why do I feel that this is a little stale?”
The waiter paused for a moment, thinking that he had discovered something. It turned out to be this matter. He hurriedly said with a smile, “Sir, what are you talking about? This meat was just slaughtered in East Street. We bought it earlier, guaranteed freshness.”
Ji Yujin: “Oh? Really?”
Waiter: “Of-of course it is true. How dare this humble lie to you?”
The smile on the proprietress’s face also faded. Although she didn’t hear their conversation, but she also knew something had happened.
At this time, the person Ji Yujin sent out also came back and whispered something in Ji Yujin’s ear.
The waiter swallowed his saliva, the sound of his heartbeat hitting his eardrums. The proprietress reached for the knife in the cabinet and slowly clenched it.
It happened almost instantly. The waiter and the proprietress looked at each other and suddenly launched an attack. Soon a group of people rushed in, all holding swords in their hands.
The people on Ji Yujin’s side also reacted quickly. In the blink of an eye, the only people left sitting there were Ji Yujin and the man in green who had his back to the crowd.
The waiter stood behind the crowd and shouted, “Sir, today my people are blind. We have no intention of robbing you all. Please let us go. How about we keep our distance from each other?”
Ji Yujin didn’t say anything. Suddenly, the only sound in the small room was the sleeves and swords rubbing sound, but still no one dared to take action first.
One could hear a pin drop in the room. Chu Fengqing pursed his lips, and while no one was paying attention to him, he took a handkerchief from his arms and tied it around his face.
Ji Yujin remained silent, and the air pressure in the room continued to drop, like a string that was about to break if stretched to its limit.
The waiter gritted his teeth and said, “Have you ever heard that a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake? I have hundreds of brothers outside. Even if your people are highly skilled in martial arts, they won’t get any benefits here either.”
Ji Yujin placed his hand on the soft sword at his waist. This group of bandits was formed randomly, and only a few of them knew how to fight. It was originally a battle with a good chance of winning, but he didn’t dare to be careless when Chu Fengqing was here. He was different from these rough guys. If he used force with his hands, it would leave marks. If he was really hurt…
Tsk.
It’s really different when you care about someone, let alone the person you hold in your heart.
Ji Yujin tightened his grip on the sword, raised his eyes to look at his beloved, who sat straight, and said word by word, “Chu Fengqing, why don’t you come over? Do you want me to go over and invite you?”
