"What should I do? It's been five days and I still haven't found Her Highness the Sixth Princess. If it takes too long and His Majesty finds out, our lives will be over."
"Stop talking, I know, damn, you are in such a hurry now, why did you go there before. If Her Highness the Sixth Princess is really not found, it is your responsibility to be the first to confess to Your Majesty."
In Youzhou City.
Inside a restaurant.
A middle-aged man and an old man were sitting in a private room on the second floor.
The two men, one middle and one old, were none other than Qi Buyu and Li Fangru, who had disguised themselves as business travelers and sneaked into Youzhou City.
It's only less than six days now.
These two first-class officials of the Beiliang court have lost a lot of weight without realizing it.
Li Fangru's beard was like a ball of weeds, and his neatly combed silver hair was now scattered on his head. His whole body seemed to be seven or eight years old in an instant.
Qi Buyu on the side is a bit better though.
But Ruya's face was also full of haggardness.
Thick dark circles hung above his eyes.
It's a shame that there are no giant pandas in this world, otherwise people might think that the giant panda has become a spirit.
"Two distinguished guests, please settle the payment for today's rent."
At this moment, the waiter's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
As soon as Qi Buyu opened the door, the waiter's face suddenly appeared at the door. He stretched out his hand and looked at it. Qi Buyu said with a smile: "Two guests, I accept the favor of ten taels of silver."
Upon hearing the price, Qi Buyu's face couldn't help but twitch.
The room rate for two rooms is 10 taels a day.
What a fucking pig killing.
Even the prices at the best restaurants in Bianjing, the imperial capital of Beiliang, were not so outrageous.
But it happened that these business travelers from other places could only stay in this restaurant designated by Zhao Ding when they came to Youzhou. Although other restaurants were cheaper, they were not locals in Youzhou or ordinary people, so they could only take a look. look.
"Sir, if you don't want to check out, then according to the rules, I can only check out for you."
"Sir, do you want to check out?"
The waiter looked at Qi without saying anything meaningfully.
The so-called check-out means driving out of Youzhou City.
"Then...how is that possible? The two of us haven't chosen the goods we want yet."
Qi Buyu had a smile on his face.
Zhao Ding has no restrictions on the local people in Youzhou City, but the restrictions on visitors from other places, especially those who do not belong to Daqian, are extremely strict.
Once driven out of the city.
They can only come in after the first day of the next month, when the city defense army once again issues entry documents to foreign visitors like them.
If it really has to wait until next month, then their heads will have to move.
"Then give me the money."
The waiter stretched out his hand.
Although Qi Buyu was in great pain, he finally took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it over.
"Thank you."
The waiter weighed the money handed over and was just about to stuff it into his pocket and go downstairs when Qi Buyu grabbed the waiter and said with a smile on his face: "Can you please return one of our two rooms? Starting from tomorrow, we will Is it okay for two people to live in one room?"
"Stay in one room?"
The waiter glanced at the faces of Qi Buyu and Li Fangru with a strange expression, and then a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. He looked at Qi Buyu and said with a smile: "Oh, I told you that this is the relationship between you. If there is anything, I will do it." I haven’t seen the waiter in the shop for so many years.”
"Cough cough cough."
The waiter coughed lightly, glanced around, and after confirming that no one was around, he carefully approached Qi Buyu's ear: "To be honest, our Highness, Prince Yan, when we originally designed this restaurant, we took the two of you into consideration. This is the case with guests.”
At this point, the waiter looked at Qi Buyu and Li Fangru with an "I understand" expression, and said with a smile: "As long as you two are willing to pay more, I can arrange a separate soundproof room for you two." The room, and it is absolutely guaranteed that no one will disturb you two. Do you think you two should consider it? It is absolutely safe and has all kinds of facilities."
The waiter looked at Qi Buyu with a very seductive voice. While speaking, he also raised his eyebrows at Li Fangru behind Qi Buyu.
Li Fangru: "..."
Qi Buyu: "..."
"Forget it, forget it. The relationship between the two of us is not what you think."
Qi Buyu looked at the waiter with a sneer on his face.
The waiter clapped Qi Buyu's hand and said with a meaningful smile: "Two guests, I understand, I understand."
After finishing speaking, he didn't say anything.
The waiter raised his eyebrows again and said: "If you two guests are in need, you can always ask me for help. I can book a room for you at any time. It is guaranteed to be quiet, absolutely soundproof, and no one will disturb you."
After speaking, he blinked at Qi Buyu and Li Fangru.
He walked downstairs with a meaningful look on his face.
After watching the waiter leave.
Li Fangru's old face was completely blackened into coal.
Snap!
He slapped his hand on the table and looked at Qi Buyu angrily: "You have ruined my wisdom in this life!"
Qi Buyu laughed and said, "If you have one, you can get a room by yourself. Five taels of silver a day is not expensive."
Li Fangru: "..."
Qi Buyu laughed loudly: "If you don't have money, be honest these few nights. Otherwise, if you sleep on the street, I won't care about you."
Li Fangru: "..."
What if he had money?
Besides, what the hell would you do if you had money?
How many days can the two of them live in a den of thieves like Youzhou City with their salaries?
Next to the corridor.
The waiter, who was lying on the crack of the door and listening to the sounds inside the door, blinked and sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that some people really like such excitement, tsk tsk tsk tsk."
Just when the waiter in the shop just walked down the stairs.
"Rumble~~~~~~"
"Rumble~~~~"
At this moment, thunderous sounds suddenly came from outside the window.
Under the aftermath of terror.
The room where Li Fangru and Qi Buyu were sitting couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"It's an earthquake, it's an earthquake, run."
He stood up hurriedly and ran downstairs.
Qi Buyu's eyes also changed slightly.
However, he did not run away in a hurry like Li Fangru. Instead, he opened the window on the second floor and looked downstairs.
Although Youzhou City at this moment is much messier than before they came last time, there is a lot more yellow mud for some reason, and even the roof originally paved with green tiles is now covered with thatch.
But the city remains in order.
There are constant hawking sounds in the streets and alleys.
Looking at Li Fangru who had already run to the door, Qi Buyu rolled his eyes: "How can there be an earthquake? What a fuss. I think the older you are, the less courageous you are."
Looking around, there was only a slight tremor.
Li Fangru stood up with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said bravely: "I'm trying to take precautions before they happen."
Hehehe~~~~~~
Qi Buyu chuckled.
"Guests upstairs, don't be afraid. This is the sound of the magical cannon unique to our Youzhou City. Now Nanchen's army is rushing through the pass. With His Highness King Yan here, they can't get through, and you are all passing by as businessmen. This matter has nothing to do with you, so don’t worry.”
The waiter's voice sounded from downstairs.
"Nan Chen's army stormed the pass?"
As soon as these words came out.
The expressions of Qi Buyu and Li Fangru changed drastically in an instant.
