Chapter 146 The Mysterious Compound

146
Because Qiao Qiongyan was walking too fast, she almost bumped into two young men at the entrance of the lantern shop. Fortunately, Qiao Qiongyan was able to avoid it due to her strong body.

Before Qiao Qiongyan had time to see the people coming, she heard one of them calling out to herself in surprise: "Miss Qiao!"

Bai Beibei, who was behind Qiao Qiongyan, heard the voice a little familiar, but Ding Qing saw that it was Lin Wei and Qi Yi'an.

Lin Wei was obviously surprised to see Bai Beibei, and asked with a smile, "Miss Beibei has come to the county?"

"Master Lin, Mr. Qi!" Bai Beibei greeted them with a smile.

Seeing Qi Yi'an staring at Qiao Qiongyan with excitement, Lin Wei didn't hear Bo Beibei greet him at all, so he couldn't help pulling off his sleeve lightly, and whispered: "It's Miss Beibei."

Qiao Qiongyan was a little annoyed by Qi Yi'an, and was about to get angry with Qi Yi'an when she heard Lin Wei's words and turned to Bai Beibei and asked, "Beibei, do you know them?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin and Mr. Qi are regular customers of the teahouse." Bai Beibei looked at Qi Yi'an nonchalantly and said with a smile: "So you know each other too."

Hearing Bo Beibei's voice, Qi Yi'an was bewildered and pleasantly surprised: "Miss Beibei, you have come to the county too? I didn't expect you to recognize Ms. Qiao too, that's great!"

Bai Beibei looked at Qi Yi'an suspiciously, what she said was a bit strange, she and Qiongyan knew each other, what's wrong with him?
Qiao Qiongyan gave Qi Yi'an a hard look, and said to Bai Beibei impatiently, "Beibei, let's go."

Qi Yi'an was about to speak but Lin Wei stopped him with a look. Bai Beibei apologized to the two of them, and then followed Qiao Qiongyan to the other side of the street with Xiaozhu.

"Xiao Zhu, your lady seems to hate Mr. Qi?" Bai Beibei asked Xiao Zhu in a low voice.

"It's not annoying, maybe it's just annoying." Xiaozhu mumbled.

"why?"

"About more than a year ago, when the lady and I were shopping, I saw a thief stealing Mr. Qi's money. The lady just wanted to stop it, but the thief quickly grabbed Mr. Qi's purse and ran away. Miss chased for several streets before catching the thief."

Just as Bai Beibei blinked, Xiaozhu said again: "Young Master Qi is very grateful to my lady. Every time I meet my lady, I have to say a lot of grateful words. Later, my lady got annoyed and regretted that time to help Qi." The young master took back the money bag."

In Xiaozhu's view, this is a trivial matter that is perfectly normal, but Mr. Qi is grateful for the young lady as a reborn parent, which is really too exaggerated.

After listening to Xiaozhu's narration, Bai Beibei endured it, and finally laughed playfully: "Your lady is really a warm-hearted person."

Qi Yi'an is not a frail scholar, I heard that he knows some kicking skills, but it's really interesting to ask a girl like Qiao Qiongyan to help him recover his money bag.

"That's not true," said Xiao Zhu, who had a headache: "Every time my young lady sees injustice, she will take care of it, and she won't listen to persuasion."

"I know." Bo Beibei smiled, if it wasn't for Qiao Qiongyan's injustice, she didn't know if she could escape from Mrs. Huang?You know, her space hadn't appeared at that time.

"What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and follow." Qiao Qiongyan looked back and saw that both Bai Beibei and Xiaozhu had fallen far away, and then shouted loudly.

"Here we come!" The two quickened their pace and followed.

Qiao Qiongyan led the two of them across several streets, away from the market, and turned into an alley.

"Qiongyan, where are you taking us?" Bo Beibei asked curiously.

"You'll know when you arrive." Qiao Qiongyan smiled mysteriously.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Qiao Qiongyan brought the two of them into a compound.

This courtyard looks no different from ordinary courtyards, but as soon as Bai Beibei entered the courtyard, he felt a rush of hot air. Although the weather was a bit cold at this time, the heat made people feel uncomfortable.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a well-dressed suit came out.

"Miss Qiao!" The man gave Qiao Qiongyan a reproachful look, and then his eyes fell on the faces of Bai Beibei and Xiaozhu.

The man's eyes were so fierce that Bai Beibei was so stared at that he couldn't breathe.

"Uncle, have you finished what I want?" Qiao Qiongyan knew that she shouldn't have brought Beibei and Xiaozhu here, but she just couldn't help but want to see the pair of copper maces.

"Okay!" The middle-aged man nodded lightly, and said, "Miss Qiao, wait a moment, the little one will bring the things to Miss Qiao."

"Thank you, uncle." Qiao Qiongyan was very respectful to the middle-aged man, and stood there waiting with Bai Beibei.

"Miss, what exactly is this place?" Xiaozhu asked impatiently.

"The place where weapons are made." Because this place involved too many secrets, Qiao Qiongyan didn't dare to say too much, otherwise her father would have to teach her a lesson.

But Qiao Qiongyan knew that she had already frightened Xiaozhu quite a bit with just this one sentence.

Xiao Zhu stared, and said in disbelief: "Miss, do you want to build weapons?"

Bai Beibei was also taken aback. Seeing Qiao Qiongyan's familiarity with the road, this compound should not be a place dedicated to making weapons for the army, right?But shouldn't the place to build weapons for the army be very secretive? Why is it located in this compound?

Moreover, why is there no sound at all in this place where weapons are made? How was this weapon made?

Just as Bai Beibei was wondering, he saw the middle-aged man walking out of it holding a long box.

The middle-aged man walked up to Qiao Qiongyan and said, "Miss Qiao, this is what you want."

Qiao Qiongyan opened the box carefully, and a pair of copper maces inside appeared in front of several people.

Qiao Qiongyan's eyes lit up when she saw the pair of copper maces, and she reached out to pick up the pair of copper maces.

Qiao Qiongyan held a copper mace in each hand, and immediately tried it out in the yard.

It was the first time that Bo Beibei saw Qiao Qiongyan show off her skills, and she was dazzled.

Bo Beibei was very puzzled, she was so good, why did she drag herself away when she saved herself last time?

Bai Beibei obviously forgot that Qiao Qiongyan ran away after hearing Xiao Zhu say that Master Qiao was coming last time. She was afraid of Master Qiao's family, not Mrs. Huang and others.

Qiao Qiongyan competed for less than a quarter of an hour, and then said to the middle-aged man with satisfaction: "This copper mace is not bad!"

The middle-aged man nodded sternly, without making a sound.

"Uncle, can I take this mace away?" Qiao Qiongyan asked the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man remained silent, and nodded almost invisibly.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Qiao Qiongyan hugged the box with a smile on her face, and left the compound with Bai Beibei and Xiaozhu with a surprised face.
