Tangled

Soldiers patrol the city non-stop, and merchants from all walks of life who cause trouble will be kicked out immediately. It can be said that Ningzhou is safer than Kyoto, so Gu Tingshu is not afraid that something will happen to him.

After taking Shen Qiqi back, Gu Tingshu came closer when he heard her whispering something.

She spoke really vaguely, and even though she was very close, Gu Tingshu still couldn't hear her clearly.

"You'll get drunk after half a glass of fruit wine, Shen Qi, that's all you can do."

Looking at the increasingly red face, Gu Tingshu sighed after a long time.

When he came out again, Mu Chengze was still sitting there, as if he expected that he would come out soon, and a cup of hot tea was placed on his place.

"Follow us, my cousin won't be able to have fun. Call Lang Jiu to guard her and let her have fun in the city."

Ningzhou was much safer than they thought. Even if it wasn't guarded, there wouldn't be any danger.

Along the way, she really didn't have much fun. Gu Tingshu played with the cup in his hand and said "hmm" in a low voice.

"Lang Jiu is nearby. Let him come early tomorrow morning, and then we will go visit the Ningzhou prefect."

He had already planned it. What else could Gu Tingshu say? He could only follow his wishes.

The night passed peacefully. In the morning, the sky was not completely bright yet, and the sun still refused to rise. However, the city of Ningzhou had already begun to become lively.

Awakened by different hawkers on the street, Shen Qiqi felt her head was still a little dizzy. She sat up while rubbing her head.

After cleaning up and opening the door, she looked up and saw a man in black guarding the door. She held the door tightly and bowed after a moment.

"My lord, please be safe!"

Lang Jiu didn't dare to accept her salute, so he ducked out of her way when she first made a move, and then returned the salute with cupped fists.

"Hello, girl, my master has sent me to protect the girl."

Shen Qiqi responded in a low voice, straightening her back and looking at the other person's clothes.

The person I saw on the carriage yesterday was dressed like this. The guards beside my cousin were dressed differently. I guess the other person's master was His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Has cousin gone out already?"

Although she asked, she probably knew in her heart that the two of them had not gone out yet. The genius was about to show up, so even if they were anxious, they had to have breakfast before setting off.

"Master and Master Gu haven't gotten up yet, girl, do you want to have breakfast first?"

"No, I'll wait for a while. If you haven't eaten yet, you should go and eat first."

"My subordinates are number nine. Girls can call my subordinates Wolf One."

Knowing that they had rules, Shen Qiqi did not shirk. She nodded in agreement and went to the place where she had the drink yesterday.

She looked down from the second floor and saw the vendors coming and going on the street. She smelled the food they carried on their shoulders and felt empty in her stomach.

Lang Jiu didn't dare to leave or get too close, so he stood in the corner three feet away from her, holding his breath and trying to hide his figure as much as possible.

He was standing at a corner, and he was dressed in black. It would be extremely difficult to spot someone standing there unless he walked up to him.

Because she wanted to go out for breakfast, Shen Qiqi didn't put on her veil, but after just waiting for such a short time, several guests already wanted to come forward.

Although Lang Jiu was around and they couldn't get close, Shen Qiqi was still afraid of trouble and finally put on the veil.

"Girl, please go down and secure the store."

There were so many blind people in the store, but if he bumped into her, the master couldn't spare him.

Shen Qiqi held the tea cup in her hand and shook her head when she heard this, "No need, I'll just cover up when I go out in the future." There were so many people living in this inn, and when I came yesterday, the downstairs was full of people eating. There must be a lot of money flowing every day, so why spend money on things that can be solved by wearing a veil.

"Yes!"

Lang Jiu agreed and retreated to the corner.

Gu Tingshu and Mu Chengze got up together and happened to meet each other when they were going out. They looked at each other and Mu Chengze patted him on the shoulder.

"You went to bed so late last night, why didn't Ashu sleep more?"

"My cousin is protected by Lang Jiu, so don't worry."

The three rooms were connected. They heard the noise as soon as Shen Qiqi opened the door. They just knew that Lang Jiu was there, so they didn't get up immediately.

Gu Tingshu played with the jade token at his waist, but did not answer the words. He glanced at him lightly, and then walked forward past him.

Seeing them coming, Lang Jiu saluted, and then went down to order breakfast with great discernment.

When he came up again, he was followed by two waiters, each holding some food, both of which were famous in Ningzhou.

"A few guests are using it slowly. If they don't mind, just give them orders."

The two waiters received the reward yesterday and were very attentive today. If Lang Jiu hadn't been watching with eager eyes, they might have stayed behind to serve him.

"My cousin didn't eat much yesterday. She must be hungry now. Eat more."

"After eating, let Lang Jiu take you around. If there's anything you like, just ask him to buy it."

He didn't say what he was going to do, but Shen Qiqi could guess a little bit, so she agreed obediently.

"Cousin, be careful."

Before he finished speaking, a dumpling the size of a fingertip was put to his mouth. Shen Qiqi glanced at Mu Chengze sheepishly and opened his mouth to eat.

The two of them went back and forth, seeming to have entered a state of selflessness. They were obviously right next to them, but they couldn't get a look.

Mu Chengze twitched the corners of his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

After breakfast, Gu Tingshu put some money into Shen Qiqi's purse, told her not to go to remote places, and then went out with Mu Chengze.

Shen Qiqi went downstairs and happened to see Lang Jiu coming out from behind the counter. She glanced at the shopkeeper who was picking up the counter while looking at the counter, but didn't say anything.

"Girl, there is a pleasant garden in the city. It is full of all kinds of flowers. It is the most popular among the young and old in the city. Girl, would you like to go and take a look?"

Ningzhou City is much larger than ordinary cities, and it is also a border town, so there are many beautiful sights in the city. Even if they walked for several days, they could not finish them all.

When Lang Jiu came, he checked the map and knew all the places in the city that girls liked to visit. He only chose a closer place because of Shen Qiqi's foot strength.

"Both the sedan and the carriage are waiting outside. Does the girl want to take the sedan or the carriage?"

Shen Qiqi didn't expect that he was so prepared. He had prepared two means of transportation.

"I've never been to Ningzhou. If it's not too far, let's walk there. We can also see the people and scenery along the way."

Yiran Garden is not far away, and even walking there is not too tiring. She is the master, so the wolf naturally has no objection.

He walked behind Shen Qiqi, always keeping a safe distance of two steps.

Walking in the increasingly bustling market, the hearty cries of sellers could be heard in my ears. Even though I had just had breakfast, the aroma that continued to enter my nose still made people unable to help but increase my appetite.
