Tangled

Originally she was not allowed to tell them, but when they came back, Lang Jiu still told her everything, including what she had done today.

Everything was told, from where I went today to how many bites of the dish I had.

Lang Jiu's face was expressionless, as if he didn't think it was anything, but Shen Qiqi just wanted to dig a hole and get in.

She even secretly glanced at Lang Jiu while eating, and she felt relieved to eat when he didn't look at her, but she didn't expect that the other party actually remembered all of this.

She sat aside, playing with the fruit in the plate with a skewer, and didn't put it in her mouth for a long time.

"Go down!"

After an unknown amount of time, a faint voice sounded, and Shen Qiqi was finally freed.

She raised her head to meet Mu Chengze's gaze, and weakly tugged at the corners of her mouth. Just as she was about to speak, she was fed a piece of fruit by the person next to her.

Since she was blocked, she didn't bother to speak anymore, and ate slowly while listening to them talk about today's events.

What they investigated was completely different from what they saw and heard in Kyoto. Thinking of being deceived for so long, Mu Chengze was filled with anger.

"I don't know who is not afraid of death and dares to do such a heartless thing."

Judging from what they heard and saw today, this Ningzhou prefect is not a corrupt official. He is simply a reborn parent.

If it weren't for him, how many people would have died in these cities of Ningzhou.

"Drink a glass of water and calm down your anger. My cousin is timid and cannot be scared."

In the first half of the sentence, I thought he was trying to comfort himself, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be his cousin who was scared.

Mu Chengze drank the tea in one gulp and rolled his eyes, "You can say less unnecessary words."

Gu Tingshu didn't say much. It was only one day, and the information they collected was still too little and not enough to overturn their previous knowledge.

"I'm a little busy these days. I'll accompany you when I'm done. Please let Lang Jiu accompany you first."

With a large piece of fruit stuffed in her mouth, Shen Qiqi couldn't answer the question and could only nod to Gu Tingshu.

Gu Tingshu put down the sign, took her hand on his knee, and rubbed it like a jade token.

His movements were not secretive. It was impossible for Mu Chengze to pretend not to see it, so he became angry.

Ashuke is getting more and more excessive, and now he doesn't hide it at all. It's so inappropriate to touch him in front of him.

When his cousin goes back to rest, he must give him a serious question so that he will not be so arrogant in the future.

After feeding her most of the fruit on the plate, Gu Tingshu stopped. Seeing her rubbing her eyes, he patted her head and signaled her to rest.

"Cousin won't you stay with me?"

Shen Qiqi didn't think much about it, it was just that she couldn't fall asleep in a strange environment, but that was not the case with Mu Chengze.

He glanced at Gu Tingshu, who was silent. He was so anxious that he wanted to slap his thigh, but he didn't dare to say anything.

If he had said so, my cousin might have had to dig a hole and get in there.

"Cousin, please go and rest first. Ash and I still have something to say."

He kept winking at Gu Tingshu, but Gu Tingshu did not receive his message. He turned his head and said calmly: "I think I have just finished what I wanted to say."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Shen Qiqi: "Let's go, I'll take you back to sleep."

Mu Chengze was so angry that they looked like no one was around. After they left, he said "poof" at the place where Gu Tingshu had been sitting.

He is so open-minded and doesn't know how to give the other person a status. If he doesn't finalize the marriage after returning, he will definitely scold him to death.

Full of resentment, Mu Chengze lost all sleep and sat at the table drinking.When Gu Tingshu came out, all the wine on the table had been drank. He called Lang Jiu over and asked him to take Mu Chengze to rest.

"I'm not drunk. Where am I now? I've just started. I can drink eight jars, and these are only two bottles."

What he said was correct, he could indeed drink eight jars of it normally, but what was on the table was the strong liquor drunk by nomads. If you don't drink it often, just one glass can make you tipsy.

"Lang Jiu, don't pull me away, you dare not listen to me, don't you?"

He waved his hands to get rid of Lang Jiu, but his body was unstable and Lang Jiu was afraid that he would fall. Therefore, no matter how much he waved his hands, he couldn't get away.

Hearing his master's displeased words, Lang Jiu raised his head and looked at Gu Tingshu.

"Take it to your room."

Gu Tingshu was not threatened by him and waved his hand for Lang Jiu to take him away.

Gu Tingshu sat in front of the window and waited until the inn was completely quiet and the lights in the city were extinguished before he climbed out of the window.

As soon as he left, Lang Jiu walked out of the room, followed by Mu Chengze, who had not yet safely recovered from his hangover.

"Master, Master Gu is out."

Mu Chengze leaned against the door and sneered, "I knew he wouldn't be honest."

"You go and watch and report when he comes back. I want to see what he can gain from this trip."

In order to stop the person on the spot, Mu Chengze went all out and led Lang Jiu to guard him all night, but until dawn, they could not get the person back.

When Shen Qiqi got up, she opened the door and found the two of them looking at the sky and the ground outside her door, but refused to look over.

"Cousin, is something wrong?"

After a moment's pause, she spoke hesitantly.

Every time I open the door, there are people outside, and there are more and more people outside every day. I wonder if there will be another cousin when the door opens tomorrow.

"Ahem, that's all. It's nothing. I just wanted to see if you were up."

"Now that you're up, it's time for me to go out, Lang Jiu, protect the girl."

Afraid that he would not be able to help telling the story about Gu Tingshu's absence at night, Mu Chengze laughed twice and left quickly.

Lang Jiu stayed up all night. Although he had trained, his body couldn't deceive others. His eyes were slightly green.

They must be hiding something like this.

Shen Qiqi understood in her heart, but did not expose it. Instead, she told Lang Jiu that she would not go out today and let him rest.

After the waiter brought the food, Shen Qiqi returned to the room. Fortunately, there were some travel books bought yesterday, so she wouldn't be too bored.

Lang Jiu outside the door did not leave, but leaned against the wall, hugging his chest and closing his eyes to sleep.

He always pays attention to the movement in the inn, and will open his eyes immediately if there is any unusual noise.

The feeling of hiding in a small room is not very pleasant, and it is knowing that something is wrong with the other party.

The travel notes in her hand were not very readable. Shen Qiqi found the chessboard again, but after placing a few stones, she lost her mood again.

In the end, she could only open the door and go out, sit where she had been before, prop her chin and look towards the street.

"Girl, it's already noon, do you want something to eat?"

She stayed in this position for a long time. Lang Jiu opened and closed his eyes several times, but she didn't even move her butt. He hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
