She fell out after crying at the wrong grave
Chapter 148 Threat
The local conditions and customs in Shuzhong are completely different from where the two had lived before.
The town where the ship is docked is built along the mountain, with ups and downs, many bridges and steps, and it is very interesting to walk around.
The remaining four went in pairs to buy supplies for the ship. Ah-yi and Heng-chi strolled leisurely in the street.
"Now that you've really come to Shuzhong, you don't seem very happy at all."
When they reached a bridge, Hengqi lifted the hem of A'an's skirt.
"I've been thinking about my mother so much that I haven't had time to be happy." Ah-yi was indeed in a bad mood. She walked to the top of the bridge and looked at the green mountains in the distance hidden in the clouds. The air was particularly sweet. "What kind of person is Wang Xuan? These few words put together can't even roughly summarize it."
It was because the contrast between Wang Xuan reflected in these words was too great.
It is absolutely too much to ask to associate him, a local tyrant who is absolutely unruly in the eyes of the world, with a lover who cannot get Chen Zhaoying.
A pair of beautiful women stood on the bridge hand in hand.
Hengzhi specially changed into an indigo shirt that was similar in color to her dress, and tied it around his waist with an ink-black cowhide belt, looking handsome and dashing.
Even without the military uniform, her figure is as graceful as jade.
Many young ladies who came and went couldn't help but cast their eyes on him.
Hengzhi moved slightly towards Ah'an and put his hands on her waist, afraid of being bumped by people passing by.
"Seeing is believing. Even if you rack your brains now, it's better to actually go to Shuyang in a few days and understand it in person."
"Why do I feel like that?" She paused, "I feel like someone is following us."
Just as Ah'ao was about to turn around and look around, Hengzhi stepped forward and stopped her, "Don't look back."
The tip of her nose pressed against his hard chest, causing her eyes to ache, so she had to touch her nose to relieve the pain.
"Then you also discovered it." Ah-ren leaned against Heng-chi and said in a muffled voice, "What should I do? Should I get rid of it?"
Hengzhi patted A's back casually, then turned half his body to the side and glanced at the corner where he had just seen the person.
People are still there.
"No, you're not feeling well, and we don't know how many people are on the other side."
Ah-yi fell silent.
She had her period, and her waist and knees were indeed sore and weak, which was very uncomfortable. But if she wanted to get rid of the pursuers, it wouldn't hurt to run a few steps.
"Let's go eat something first." Hengzhi looked down at her. Ah's face turned pale. "Let's see what their intentions are."
After walking a few hundred steps forward, under the guidance of a kind-hearted merchant lady, the two turned into the busiest alley in the town.
The people in this town eat, wear, and travel in this Lanning Lane.
"Master... Young Master, you and your wife are here too!" Yunli came out of the grocery store, carrying several boxes, and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to go shopping?"
Ah-yi walked up to her side and looked at the things she bought. "No, let's go eat first. You and Ying'en can come with us."
Yunli's emotions suddenly calmed down. She turned to look at Ying'en, who also looked confused.
It was not until they entered the store that Yun Cong and Yun Cheng arrived late.
Six people gathered around a table, and anyone who saw it could see it as a wonderful scene of deep affection between master and servant.
"Master, when we chased after them, the people you mentioned had already run away." Yun Cong lowered his voice, still looking as if nothing had happened.
Hengzhi held the teacup in his hand and paused at his lips. He responded, "How many in total?"
Yun Cheng thought quickly and replied, "Four. Two will follow you and your wife, and the remaining two will follow the four of us."
Unexpectedly, their movements had already been known to others.
Ah-yi held a bowl of ginger sugar water and whispered to Heng-chi, "We should not stay overnight in the town today. Let's go back to the boat after dinner."
After the roasted pig bones, sugarcane-cooked lamb, and some spicy stir-fried vegetarian dishes were served, the restaurant placed a pot of sweet tofu pudding in the center, and the meal was complete.
Heng Qi rolled up his sleeves, served a bowl of tofu pudding and placed it in front of Ah-yi, "Don't worry, we won't leave tonight. I've asked Yun Cheng to book a few rooms in the inn next door."
What's the real trick?
Although Ah'ao was confused, she accepted the arrangement out of curiosity.
The group didn't have much stuff with them, so Yun Cong and Yun Cheng did the hard work and carried all the luggage upstairs before A'ao went upstairs.
just.
As soon as I reached the corner of the stairs, I heard someone arguing with the shop owner in a loud voice.
"Sir, I'm really sorry, we really don't have any rooms available today." This is the shopkeeper.
"Are you kidding me? In such a small town, who can be so generous as to book the entire second floor? If I wasn't in a hurry to get on the road, I wouldn't put up with your bullshit!" This is the angry and humiliated man after being rejected - since he calls himself that, he might as well call himself that for now.
Ah-yi paused.
Judging from the voice, he seems to be young. Those who can be a clerk at this age are probably from a wealthy family and have a good father as a guarantor.
The man's upper body was blocking the railing of the stairs. Ah'ao tilted her body and looked out.
Oh, as expected.
"What are you looking at!" The official had sharp senses and he became even more annoyed when he saw A'ou. "You little girl, don't you know not to look at inappropriate things? Do you think you can look at other men casually?" A'ou even wanted to laugh.
Where did this idiot come from? He dares to come out and lecture others just by reading two pages of a book.
She stood still on the stairs, examining the straw bag carefully.
He was wearing a lake green Sichuan embroidered dress, and in his hand was a folding fan that looked like something a prostitute would give away as a gift. The crown on his head was inlaid with a large piece of emerald, and his boots were made of roe deer skin.
Roe deer only live in Yingzhou, a cold and harsh place. The fact that the skin of a hunted roe deer appeared on the feet of a man from the southern border made it reasonable to say that he was from a wealthy family.
"Are you still looking? I'll smash you on the head with a hammer..."
Before he could finish his words, his wrist, which was raised high, was grabbed tightly.
"I advise you to say it another way." Hengzhi frowned and had a cold face, looking very untouchable.
After coming back from buying sweet cakes, he saw A'an standing on a high place as soon as he entered the door, and the man in front of him was scolding his wife in a very arrogant manner.
Ah'ao was already feeling unwell and barely touched the food.
What a guy who is seeking death.
"Ahhhhh it hurts! It hurts!" The official was short and was pinched so hard that he tilted his head back. He could see half of the other person's face in the shadow. He looked impatient, and it seemed that he was not going to give him a chance to speak again.
The shopkeeper came over in a hurry, "My two guests, my two guests! Please don't make any moves! If you have anything to say, please speak slowly!"
The official pulled his wrist and struggled with Hengqi.
The latter picked a good opportunity and loosened his grip. Suddenly losing the strength to resist, the official suffered the consequences, stumbled a few steps, and fell to the ground.
At the same time, a dozen servants holding wooden sticks rushed into the hall like a tide.
The small inn suddenly had no place to stay.
The shopkeeper was extremely anxious, with sweat all over his forehead. "Gentlemen! Don't do anything! This is a small business, and I can't stand you doing anything to me!"
Hengzhi was surrounded by a crowd of people, but he didn't care. He put the sweet cakes in his hands into his arms, ready to take action at any time.
"This gentleman."
Ah-yi at the head of the table spoke in a clear voice, as mellow as pear blossom wine, "Even if there is a little grudge, it is not good to ruin someone's business. Why don't you sit down and talk things out? What do you think?"
Ah-yi was a businessman herself, and she knew how much time and effort it took to run a shop and do the repairs.
Besides, the situation didn't need to get to the point of physical violence.
"You are a respectable person, you don't want to be seen by the villagers outside." Ah'an raised her chin and motioned the passers-by who were watching the excitement outside to line up at the door.
Compared with Hengzhi, Yuanwai was already at a disadvantage. Seeing these people laughing at him, he couldn't help but get even angrier, "What are you looking at? Get out of here!"
Ah'ao didn't understand Shu dialect very well, but judging from the accent he inadvertently revealed in his anger just now, she guessed that he must be from Shu.
A small official in Kezhou even had to give money to the provincial government and do good deeds on a daily basis in order to gain the permission of his fellow villagers. Only after passing the examination at the end of the year could he continue to be a low-ranking official in the next year.
What kind of place is Shuzhong, where even wealthy people can bully others at will?
After hearing this, the man sat down at a nearby table and fanned himself. Immediately, a servant put down his stick and poured tea for him.
A'ao walked down the stairs and walked over side by side with Hengzhi, sitting on both sides.
Only then did the official take a closer look at Ah'ao.
Seeing that she was a pretty lady, his anger subsided a little.
"What did you want to do when you looked at me upstairs just now?"
In the early winter, he kept fanning himself. Even though he was not cold, Ah-yi felt cold sitting next to him.
Heng Qi frowned and kicked his stool, "No fanning."
"I came to see you because I want to tell you that the second floor is reserved by my husband. If you want, we can give you a room. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet." Ah'an was very friendly and followed the principle of courtesy before force. She was not angry at all.
"My dear? Are you married?" The official pointed at Hengzhi with a look of regret and resentment, "Him?"
Ah-yi nodded.
He wanted to take a look at Ah'an and say something, but Hengzhi's sharp eyes scared him back.
She was immediately deflated, "Oh. No need to bother, my last name is Zhu." She also felt humiliated, "Who wants to live in the empty room you gave me? Ask your husband to apologize to me and offer me a cup of tea, and this matter will be over."
"Not so possible. My husband has a bad temper. If he starts to fight, I'm afraid even if you call ten men, they won't be able to stop him." Seeing his arrogant look, Ah'ao didn't want Hengzhi to waste time talking to him, let alone fight with him.
"You don't know, we came all the way from Yuanzhou. My husband just came back from the battlefield in the northern border after making military achievements. When we got married, it was General Li Chongxuan from Yuanzhou who presided over the wedding." She glanced at the minions holding sticks around, and said sincerely, "Your soldiers are much weaker than the Youbei people, and they are really not enough for him to fight."
Mr. Zhu swallowed his saliva, thinking of the strength with which Hengqi had pinched his wrist just now, and felt a little more convinced.
Hengzhi picked up the teacup and tried to cover up. Ah-yi was full of tricks, and if she made up one more word, he would probably laugh.
"So you'd better stay."
Mr. Zhu looked at her, and there was a hint of sharpness in his bright eyes for no reason.
"Otherwise, you'll come in alive but leave dead."
