Chapter 88: Road meets black shop

Chun Xing really felt that she was embarrassed. She didn't even send the kitchen knife back to the kitchen. She used light work and ran back to her room in a hurry, slamming the door tightly.

The villagers who were serving the vegetable fields in the yard only felt a flower before their eyes. A figure flew over in a swish, and thought it was a ghost in broad daylight.

After Chun Xing closed the door, she leaned against the door panel, puffed up, and she didn't know who she was angry with. She had lived for thirty years. It's the first time I've encountered something so embarrassing. Angrily, she laughed at herself, with a puff. Then she immediately covered her mouth, fortunately Xia He was not in the room, otherwise she probably thought she had lost her mind.

But speaking of it, the man named Li Da seems to be pretty good too. Judging from his appearance, he should be in his thirties, and he is still looking for his sister. He is quite pitiful. The scars on his face should be those at that time. Left by the bandits who killed his whole family.

Unconsciously, Chun Xing felt that she paid more attention to Li Da.

Chun Xing made a big oolong. When the maids in the yard got the news, their reaction was similar to that of Gu Yuqi. It was a misunderstanding after a long time.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Gu Yuqi left Da Li to eat at home. After all, she had given so many things, and she said that she didn't even once. Today, Chunxing made a mess of kitchen knives. It seems a bit unreasonable not to invite them again.

The banquet was placed in the pavilion in the center of the vegetable garden. This was originally a garden, but now it has been turned into a vegetable garden by Gu Yuqi. Gu Yuqi also feels a little drunk, but facing the lush green vegetables in the yard, Gu Yuqi is still proud to tell Li Da that the vegetables they eat today are grown by their own family. of.

In modern times, people would be envied and envied by all kinds of people, but in ancient times it was too sparse and common. As long as it's a peasant, who would spend money to buy vegetables... So Gu Yuqi felt a little embarrassed after saying that.

But Li Da was really happy.

He has been in Jiangxia City for so long. He started as a port worker and has been working as a boss until now. The hardships he paid during this period cannot be mentioned to outsiders. In the past, when I had no money, I would work day and night, and there was no time to study and write. Others laughed at him as a white man. Now that he was rich, in order to understand the ledger, he had to learn to read, but others said he was arty. He bought a house, and the garden inside looked beautiful, but he felt that something was missing. Only today did he realize that Gu Yuqi's garden here is what he likes the most!

The vegetables in the yard are full of peace of mind. In his garden, there are a yard of flowers, what kind of flowers are planted, and he can't even name them. In this yard full of dishes, if you choose any dish, he can speak the truth. So when he looked at Gu Yuqi, he felt more cordial.

Needless to say, Daimei's craftsmanship is comparable to that of the imperial chef. In fact, Gu Yuqi knows that Daimei's craftsmanship has surpassed that of the imperial chef in some aspects.

So as soon as the wine and dishes came up, Li Da opened the chat box and chatted with Gu Yuqi while drinking.

Gu Yuqi tried to persuade her to drink at first, but later she felt that Mr. Li was too self-conscious and didn't need her to pour the wine at all. If it wasn't for the fact that he had already stated his intentions for Chun Xing before, Gu Yuqi would have almost thought that he was going to get himself drunk so that he could create a chance to stay close to Chun Xing.

However, Li Da was still as Gu Yuqi had expected, he drank all the way through the thirteen bad, and he poured himself successfully on the side of Gu Yuqi's table, making Gu Yuqi, who was holding the wine glass, unable to laugh or cry, so he could only ask Zhao Wu to come over to him Raise the guest room for a while.

She sent someone to the Li House to report the letter. After Zhang Lan went there, she came back and told Gu Yuqi mysteriously that he had the opportunity to report the letter, and inquired about it. There are no wives and concubines in the Li family, the old brother is a bachelor, and Zhang Lan's gossip Gu Yuqi's appearance made Gu Yuqi burst into laughter again, and only then did she think that she sent Zhang Lan to the shop in the afternoon to watch. He didn't catch up with Chun Xing's wonderful scene, so she didn't know Li Da's real intention, but Zhang Lan was so In fact, Gu Yuqi is also quite curious about the gossip. Since he has already inquired about it, he will gossip without her.

After coming and going, Li Da became a frequent visitor to Gu Yuqi's house. In the beginning, Chun Xing avoided Li Da because of a misunderstanding about that matter. Now that he said it, Li Da would bring gifts to Chun Xing in an upright manner, but they upgraded it from carp and game to some girls. s things.

At first, Chun Xing refused to accept anything, but Li Da said that he just thought it was for his sister. His family is gone, and now that he has money, he just wants to buy something to give away, but he doesn't know who to give it to.

Li Da said sadly, but Chun Xing felt that she was a little too sensitive, so she accepted it for his sister's sake.

After receiving it once, there will be two times. It started with a small mirror and developed to present jewelry and satin. Chun Xing didn’t feel much resistance, but when she felt that it was too precious, she would ask Li Da to tell her. He takes it back. Li Da also didn't insist, he would take the things back and send them in other designs the next day.

Gu Yuqi lingered in Jiangxia City for another month, and when everything in the shop was on track, she told Liang Huaiyu that she would continue to go north.

It was already late spring and early summer.

She considered again and again to leave Zhang Lan's subordinates in Jiangxia City to help her take care of the shop. In Jiangxia City for so long, she has cultivated two smart and capable people among those people. She also signed contracts with the villagers who lived here temporarily, whom she hired to guard the house for her.

Her yard has been transformed into a farm, so she is not afraid that it will get worse in the hands of these villagers. On the contrary, these villagers are grateful for Gu Yuqi's life-saving grace, and they all have the heart to repay Gu Yuqi, of course I'll do my best to get it right here.

The news that Gu Yuqi and her party were going to continue north reached Li Da's ears, and Li Da had to follow Gu Yuqi and the others no matter what they said. He said that he had been in Jiangxia City for half his life, and he had not yet gone out for a walk. Now that Gu Yuqi and her party are going north for business, it would be better. He would go with him to meet the world.

Now Jishun Suda in Jiangxia City is on track, and the business volume is very huge. In the end, I have to thank Li Da for his help. After getting along for so long, Gu Yuqi found that Li Da is really a good person, so I discussed it with Liang Huaiyu, He also agreed to take Li Da to Kuizhou with him.

Gu Yuqi also has her own plans. After all, Da Li has worked in the freight industry all her life, and she wants to develop her ancient logistics industry, so she must be assisted by people like Da Li. Taking Li Da is also to pave the way for the future.

However, since she was going to take Li Da with her, Gu Yuqi had a problem that she had to explain to Li Da, and that was her gender.

Gu Yuqi asked Li Dayi to tell Li Dayi, who was stunned for a while, but soon relieved. Of course, Gu Yuqi didn't tell Li Da all her information, but said that it was not easy for her mother and daughter to do business abroad, so she had to disguise herself as a man, which was convenient.

Li Da couldn't help expressing his approval, and even praised Gu Yuqi fiercely, making Gu Yuqi a little embarrassed and then gave up.

After everything was properly arranged, the group once again set foot on the road to the north.

Without Zhang Lan, a few of his subordinates stayed in Jiangxia City, but with the addition of Li Da and the two subordinates he brought with him, the number of subordinates was the same as when they entered Jiangxia City.

With the money she made during the disaster period, Gu Yuqi is now a confident person. She is now a rich woman. The shops in the capital have gained both fame and fortune. To be prosperous. The spices and other items she collected cheaply in Jiangxia City were shipped to the capital, and now they have become sought-after goods, making Gu Yuqi a lot of money. She even saved the freight, because she used her own freight.

Although it was already late spring, but they walked all the way to the north, there were still mountains and flowers, and the weather was not hot.

After passing Jiangxia City, the scenery is close to that of the Northland. Without the capital city, which is different from the century-old city of Jiangxia City, there is a feeling of emptiness here, which makes people's minds seem to become much wider.

Gu Yuqi no longer needs to wear men's clothes deliberately now, she simply changed back to women's clothes. The appearance of her women's clothes shocked Li Da, she couldn't believe her eyes, but it made Li Da feel both of Gu Yuqi's mother and daughter. A bit of admiration was born.

This mother and daughter are both beautiful. If they want to find a rich and powerful person to rely on their beauty, it can be said that it is easy to rely on, but they do not rely on men, and lead these many maids to wander alone Between heaven and earth, with a unique chic and unrestrained, it is really enviable.

What's more, he had already experienced Gu Yuqi's business methods in Jiangxia City. After learning that she was a woman, especially a woman with such a beautiful appearance, Li was even more surprised. He is half a Jianghu person, and he doesn't have the prejudice of a big family. In addition, he eats by his own ability and knows that the world is difficult, so he admires Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu for traveling and doing business as women.

Seeing that Li Da did not disrespect herself and her mother in the slightest, Gu Yuqi also felt relieved, this Li Da was indeed good. Although it didn't feel good when we first met, but after getting along, it was indeed a good friend.

Among the green mountains and green waters, the group of people walked and played, but it was very enjoyable. Li Da also quickly integrated into Gu Yuqi's team, and did not regard himself as an outsider at all. He would still often follow Chun Xing's back to ask for warmth, and he couldn't beat Chun Xing, nor was he scolded, so he had to go.

In fact, Gu Yuqi could see that if Li Da just looked at Chun Xing a few more times because he looked like his younger sister, now he looks at Chun Xing with affection in his eyes.

It's just that Chun Xing is a big sluggard, and he made a big oolong again, so naturally he won't think about it again, and Chun Xing once performed a kitchen knife slap on the table, Li Da was afraid that Chun Xing would annoy him and make trouble again after knowing his mind. As soon as it came out, so it was not clear, the two of them just walked all the way in a confused way.

Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu made it clear that Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi were happy to see it happen.

If Li Da can really make Chun Xing fall in love with him, it's really a beautiful thing. Liang Huaiyu has always felt guilty about her four maids. If there are men who are willing to treat them wholeheartedly, Liang Huaiyu is of course happy, so Li Da approached Chun Xing, not only did she not stop her, but sometimes she would help , to create a chance for two people to be alone.

Everyone walked all the way to play, but they put the itinerary very slowly. After procrastinating for many days, they arrived at a small town called Kaner Town.

There is only one small inn in the town, and Gu Yuqi decided that everyone will rest in the inn tonight.

Li Da has never complained about sleeping in the wild all the way, but he is also wondering why Gu Yuqi has not been going to the town to stay at the hotel, but has always been sleeping in the wild, but he did not ask.

He is an old man, and it can be seen that Gu Yuqi's group must be of extraordinary origin. Judging from their food and clothing expenses, and the well-trained training of those maids and guards, they are not from ordinary people. In addition, when he was in Jiangxia City, His Royal Highness An Wang used to sit in Jishun Suda himself and lived in their home. If he did not have a certain identity, how could he have invited His Royal Highness.

So Li Da didn't dare to guess Gu Yuqi and their identities randomly.

After the group entered the inn, the night was already full, and a young man greeted them with a smile and greeted everyone to sit down and rest. He turned around and opened the door of the inn in half, leaving half of it, and then joined the guards to move the horses again. Pulled to the backyard to feed.

Gu Yuqi looked around the inn. It was very small, and it was fairly tidy, but it didn't look like there was any business. There was only one junior in the store. He was busy with horses, and the shopkeeper needed to greet the guests in person.

"The shopkeeper, is your family's business not good?" Gu Yuqi asked curiously, taking advantage of the shopkeeper's opportunity to serve tea. "Why do I think we are the only customer in this store?"

"Oh, this town is small and there are few people coming and going, but it's not that there are many guests." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Oh." Gu Yuqi nodded, a faint smile floated on the corner of her mouth. After the shopkeeper brought the tea, the person turned around and left.

Li Da walked over quietly and said to Gu Yuqi, "Miss Gu, I think there is something wrong with this inn." He covered it with his sleeve, dipped his fingers with the tea in the cup, and quickly wrote on the table.

Gu Yuqi glanced at Li Da with an approving look, as expected of running around the world, she realized something was wrong so quickly.

She also just felt that there was a problem here, so she raised her hand and held Liang Huaiyu, not letting her drink the tea.

There are few people in the inn itself, but there is something wrong with the second shopkeeper turning the door panel upside down. Imagine a shop assistant who lives in an inn every day, how could he not even understand the pros and cons of the door panel? That should be no mistake if you close your eyes.

The shopkeeper's accent sounds southern, so he shouldn't be a local.

A shopkeeper who is not a local, plus a shop assistant who will turn the door panel upside down, there is no problem with this inn no matter how you look at it.

Gu Yuqi quickly made a secret gesture, Chun Xing nodded to Xia He, got up quietly, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the shopkeeper, and went to the kitchen.

These gestures were invented by Gu Yuqi inspired by modern TV dramas. They were first used before entering Jiangxia City. After arriving in Jiangxia City, Liang Huaiyu felt that this way of transmitting information was very good, simple and hidden, so Gu Yuqi was busy making money. She was busy studying these, developed a lot of new gestures, and added new meanings. Now as long as they are their maids and guards, no matter who they are can understand.

Gu Yuqi made another gesture to Bai Fu, Bai Fu nodded, and immediately got up and walked over to meet the innkeeper.

"The shopkeeper, our lady is hungry, what can I eat?" Bai Fu said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper immediately took out a list and was about to walk towards Gu Yuqi, but was stopped by Bai Fu, "Let's go to the counter and order. Miss doesn't like strangers approaching her."

"Alright." The shopkeeper's seemingly simple and honest smile brought Bai Fu back to the counter.

Bai Fu pretended to look at the menu and thought about what to eat for the evening, but was secretly observing the shopkeeper.

Although the shopkeeper was introducing this dish to Bai Fu, his eyes would slip to Gu Yuqi from time to time.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was entangled by Bai Fu, Gu Yuqi dipped her finger in some tea and wrote on the table, "How did Brother Li find out?"

Li Da blocked the shopkeeper's sight with his body, then pointed to the teacup with his finger, and said silently, "There is a problem with the tea."

"Menghan medicine?" Gu Yuqi also asked with her mouth shape.

Li Da nodded slightly. Gu Yuqi understood, she only thought it was Li Da who saw that the second door was upside down, so she became suspicious, but she didn't expect others to be taller than herself, and directly noticed that there was a problem with the tea. As expected of the person who has been running the pier, this can be noticed by him.

The tea was slightly bitter. If it was mixed with sweating medicine, it would not be easy for people to detect. Gu Yuqi had smelled it for the rest of her life, but she thought it was ordinary tea, but the color of the tea seemed to be a little darker than ordinary tea. But that doesn't mean anything.

I can't blame her for this one. She traveled once and was reborn once. Lianhuo Sanshi has no contact with the legendary item such as Menghan medicine, which is commonly found in TV and novels...

"Pretend?" Gu Yuqi asked again with her mouth shape.

"The dose is not big, it's not in time." Li Da's finger was soaked in water and quickly wrote on the table.

It turned out that, Gu Yuqi had already thought about it in her heart, it was probably the shopkeeper who wanted to use the sweat medicine to make them sleep deeply, and then start.

It seems that this inn is a black shop and can't run away.

It didn't take long for Chun Xing and Dongmei to turn around and make a few simple gestures to Gu Yuqi, who nodded.

After a while, the guards walked over from the backyard chatting and laughing. They sat down at other tables, and Zhao Wu came over and said to Liang Huaiyu. "Miss, the horses have been taken to the stables."

"Sit down and rest." Liang Huaiyu naturally saw the conversation between Gu Yuqi and Li Da. Although she was surprised, she nodded calmly.

She has never experienced such a thing as a black shop, but since her daughter is not panicked, she doesn't need to panic, it's a big battle. There are so many of them, and there are only a few people in the inn, where is their opponent.

However, the gestures of Chun Xing and Dongmei just now made her calm heart a little bit calmer. There was still an ambush on the roof of this inn.

Chun Xing and Dongmei had been instructed by Gu Yuqi to go to the back to check the situation just now. These two people have rich experience and high martial arts skills, so Gu Yuqi was relieved to go. As soon as they left the lobby, they felt something was wrong, so they didn't use any light work, but walked honestly. They pretended to be looking for the latrine, and didn't dare to venture into the kitchen to inquire.

Liang Huaiyu made two gestures towards Zhao Wu. When Zhao Wu looked at it, his eyes sank. They didn't notice anything unusual in the backyard they just went to. If there is really a problem with this inn, then their horses... dammit.

This time, the shop assistant came back again and walked over with a smile on his face.

Bai Fu glanced at Gu Yuqi, Gu Yuqi gave her a wink, and she quickly finished ordering the dishes.

"Ah Hui, go and report the dishes ordered by this distinguished guest to the back kitchen." The shopkeeper's clerk came back and greeted him hurriedly.

Seeing that Gu Yuqi gave her another gesture, Bai Fu said with a smile, "This little brother, I'll go with you. Our lady likes the dishes I make, so I'll go and help fry two." Bai Fu said this Said, the second shopkeeper immediately looked at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper nodded, and then the shopkeeper said to Bai Fu, "This sister, come with the boy."

"I'm going to help too." Ran Mo stood up and went to the back kitchen with Bai Fu and Xiao Er.

Bai Fu and Dian Mo went to the back kitchen to stare at them, and the dishes that should come later would not be a big problem.

Gu Yuqi felt it was strange that she was rarely planning to go to the city to live once, how could she have encountered a black shop by chance? If it was an ordinary black shop, it would be fine to order some sweat medicine or something, but just now Chun Xing and Dongmei said that there were people on the roof behind Ambush, this is a bit unusual, it looks like someone has set up a cover for them to drill.

Gu Yuqi couldn't help but give Li Da a deep look.

Although they were playing along the way, they were also very careful. If someone really tipped off someone, only Li Da would be the most suspicious in this team.

But the decision to stay in the hotel didn't take long. Even if it was to prepare, how could it be so quick to set a trap. Besides, if Li Da deliberately reported to others and brought them in, what was it for? For the freight business of Jiangxia City? Or for something else? Li Da also warned him just now. If he really tried his best to set up a trap to catch them, why would he pretend to be a warning and startle the snake.

Or she thought too much, this is an ordinary black shop, but they just happened to walk in because of bad luck.

Gu Yuqi decided to keep the same and respond to all changes.

The people in the kitchen were simple. There were only two cooks and a young man who was burning the fire. Bai Fu and Dian Mo stared at them while they were cooking, and they didn't see anything wrong.

Every time a dish is served, Li Da will take a look first to make sure there is no sweat medicine in it.

Gu Yuqi doesn't know why Li Da is determined, but everyone who runs the rivers and lakes should have their own way, but she is also suspicious of Li Da now, so she doesn't really believe his words.

Gu Yuqi made a few gestures to everyone, and then only ate a little and then made a noise as if she had been bitten by some bug. She took Liang Huaiyu and went to the room with her to apply medicine. Chun Xing and Xia He immediately followed, and Zhao Wu assigned The four of them went to the stables, under the pretext of giving the horses some more fodder.

Liang Huaiyu knew that this was Gu Yuqi's excuse, but she also accompanied her to the end of a scene, and the two went to the room together. Gu Yuqi hurriedly took out all her accessories and spears from her baggage, and talked to Liang Huaiyu, She pointed to the roof.

Liang Huaiyu understood that there was someone on the roof, and she also noticed it. Gu Yuqi made a sign language with her gesture, and Liang Huaiyu nodded. Come to find wood.

Liang Huaiyu went to his room and took out his spear.

Hearing that Gu Yuqi smashed a cup in the next room, she immediately raised the gun upwards, hit the floor with a little force, her body flew up, the tip of the gun spun like a drill bit, and drilled up against the rubble of the roof. .

With two loud bangs, Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu burst out at the same time, like two silver dragons rising from the dark roof, and instantly lifted the two men in black who were ambushing on the roof of their room off the eaves. At the same time, Bai Fu and Dian Mo on the first floor also quickly locked a target. Bai Fu locked the shopkeeper, and Dian Mo naturally went to catch that guy.

The four guards sent by Zhao Wu leaped from the backyard to the roof. Zhao Wu took the remaining five guards out of the front window and leaped to the roof, forming a flanking attack.

Chun Xing and Xia He went back to the room early and took out their bows and arrows, which were two arrows swish toward the sky, and shot the men in black who had been picked off by Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu on the ground.

Gu Yuqi heard a sharp whistle in the air, she didn't know it well, she turned the silver spear in her hand, and quickly pulled up a spear around her body. Like a silver light shield, it knocked all the arrows from the sky to the ground.

Like Gu Yuqi, Liang Huaiyu used a spear to jump away from the arrow that was running towards her.

After Chun Xing and Xia He dealt with the men in black who were picked out, they also leaped to the roof. Using the moonlight, Chun Xing sharply discovered the direction of the arrow, which was from a private house opposite. On the roof, she took out three arrows from the quiver, placed them on the bow and arrow, pulled hard, and the three bows and arrows burst out of the air together, shooting at the place where the men in black were hiding like shooting stars. .

With a puff, a man in black was hit by an arrow and fell from the roof. When the other two men in black saw that they had been exposed, they pulled their bows and arrows to shoot Chun Xing. Xia He said that it was too late. The bow, the two arrows fired in a row, with two puffs, shot the arrows into the chests of the two men in black before they pulled the bow. Her cooperation with Chun Xing was fast and dazzling, and it was simply perfect. .
