Chapter 278

Xin Meng regretfully withdrew her attention from the old man, and when she turned her head, she met Liang Xiujun's teasing eyes. She was slightly startled, and then realized that he had already seen her intentions.

Pretending not to understand the meaning in his eyes, she picked up the big bowl on the table to drink tea.

The tea was bitter and brewed from poor quality tea leaves.Xinmeng, who was used to drinking the imperial gift tea, frowned at the moment of entrance.

However, since she hadn't drank water for a long time, her throat was a little dry, so she forced herself to down a large bowl of tea.

Seeing this, Liang Xiujun's eyes flashed a gloomy light, and he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"Pfft!" Xiao Ba sprayed the tea in his mouth all over the floor, put down the tea bowl heavily, and said displeasedly, "You guys can swallow such bad tea?"

As soon as the words were finished, Liang Xiujun also put down the tea bowl, but the bowl was empty.

"National Teacher, you have lost your sense of taste, right?" Xiao Ba looked at Liang Xiujun as if he was looking at a monster, "Didn't you drink nothing but the top-quality Dahongpao bestowed by the emperor?"

It turned out that he was such a particular person.Xinmeng was thoughtful, and felt that there was such a person beside Chu Hanxuan, which was really a great threat to Chu Mingxuan.

If she can save her life this time, and if she is lucky enough to see Chu Mingxuan, she will definitely tell Chu Mingxuan to pay attention to Liang Xiujun.

His eyes flickered, and Xinmeng asked tentatively: "Mr. Liang, as a national teacher, didn't stay in the capital of Dazhou to serve the Emperor of Dazhou, but followed Chu Hanxuan to Dashang. I don't know what's the plan?"

Liang Xiujun first picked up the teapot to add tea to her tea bowl, and then asked: "Miss Shen is very smart, can't she guess it?"

"..." Xinmeng stared at the teacup in front of her, with a sullen expression on her face, "I'm not as smart as Mr. Liang." Otherwise, how could she be caught by him!

"Miss Shen is too modest." Liang Xiujun said, "Xiujun's intelligence is not as good as Miss Shen, but he just took a little advantage."

Take the lead?Xinmeng looked at him puzzled, and thought to herself, does the so-called first opportunity mean that he checked the situation of the general's mansion in advance, or that he tapped her acupoints?
"I'm starving, where are the steamed buns? Could it be that they haven't been steamed yet?" Xiaoba complained while rubbing his belly, stood up and walked to the back kitchen, shouting, "Old man, hurry up and serve the steamed buns, I want to starve to death !Old man, what's wrong with you..."

Xiao Ba's voice suddenly disappeared, but the two hounds tied under the tree suddenly barked loudly.

"No, something happened!" Liang Xiujun stood up and was about to rush towards the back kitchen. He glanced at Xinmeng, grabbed her wrist and pulled her up, and dragged her towards the back kitchen together.

"It hurts..." Xinmeng's wrist was already worn out by the rope, but when he grabbed it so hard, it suddenly hurt.

But Liang Xiujun was concerned about Xiao Ba's safety, and turned a deaf ear to her complaints.

Rushing to the door of the back kitchen, Liang Xiujun pushed Xinmeng in first, but followed after seeing no ambush.

Nonsence!This is clearly using her as a shield.Xinmeng cursed secretly in her heart, but she didn't dare to be careless. She glanced quickly, and there was only a small area, but there was no sign of Xiao Ba, and even the old man didn't seem to be there.

After walking two steps forward, she sharply noticed a pair of worn black cloth shoes behind the stove, and the old man's feet flashed in her mind, as if they were the black cloth shoes she was wearing.

Just as he was considering whether to tell Liang Xiujun about this discovery, he had already pushed Xinmeng away and rushed up to check.
