Zhao Pan'er just smiled and didn't answer, then turned around and went back to making tea.
Huang Rong took a sip of tea and praised: "This tea is indeed delicious."
While the two were chatting, two men walked in. The two men were quite luxuriously dressed. The man walking in front looked slightly arrogant. As soon as he came in, he glanced around the store.
Under Zhao Paner's greeting, the two of them sat in the corner by the window.
"Honey shopkeeper, give us two cups of green phoenix marrow and a plate of peach blossom fruits."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
[Sign in the special character Gu Qianfan, and you will be rewarded with a secret guard, numbering fifty, which has been inserted into the territory of each dynasty. The host can summon the secret guard with a command order, and the character information has been released]
A large number of secret guards' names, abilities, locations, where they currently occupy, etc. appeared in Ying Zhu's mind out of thin air...incomparably detailed.
After reading this, Ying Zhu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and even glanced sideways at Gu Qianfan, who had brought him this rich reward.
Gu Qianfan, who was sitting in the corner, looked left and right, causing the man sitting opposite him to ask softly: "Commander, do you think this place is not clean enough? I have heard about your good tea before, and this Zhao's Teahouse is the first one here." First, the tea smells good and the fruit is good, so I chose this place, and the lady who runs the shop is even more stunning."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Paner came over with a tea tray.
"You two want the green phoenix marrow."
When Zhao Pan'er handed the tea, Gu Qianfan took the opportunity to look up and down.
"It will taste better if you drink green phoenix marrow with ginger salt."
"Thank you, madam shopkeeper."
"Take it easy." After Zhao Paner said that, he turned around and left, but he heard the harsh words behind him just after taking two steps.
"Is this what you call stunning?" Gu Qianfan asked.
"Ang." The man smiled and nodded, but seeing that Gu Qianfan's face was a little gloomy, he quickly added: "Of course a country woman cannot be compared with a pink beauty in the capital."
"When you finish this case, I will transfer you back to Tokyo and let you wash your eyes properly." Gu Qianfan said.
The man immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, sir."
After hearing this, Zhao Pan'er laughed angrily, spat softly and strode towards the kitchen.
"Let's get down to business. Didn't the man named Wei confess? He said that the night banquet map is in the hands of Liangzhe Road Transfer Judge Yang Zhiyuan. Why haven't he got it yet?" Gu Qianfan asked with a frown.
"My subordinates are incompetent, but you have ordered that palace secrets should be kept as secret as possible. According to my subordinates' investigation, Yang Zhiyuan also collected this painting unintentionally and was unaware of the weirdness in the painting."
"Furthermore, his official position is not small, and he is a clean figure who accepts death. If a subordinate came directly to ask for it, it would probably make the matter bigger. So I wanted to sneak into Yang's house quietly and steal the painting, but I never thought that he would hide the painting. It’s too deep and my subordinates can’t touch it.”
Gu Qianfan also looked solemn when he heard this.
At this moment, a group of thieves armed with knives broke in, followed by several government officials.
"Put the knife down!"
"I told you to put the knife down!"
The thief held Zhao Paner hostage with a knife and yelled at the government officials.
The officer had no choice but to put down the knife.
"As long as you don't hurt anyone, everything is easy to talk about."
"Prepare five fast horses for me, immediately!"
Zhao Pan'er, who was being held hostage, said with a trembling voice: "Don't kill me, I...I have money."
"Where?"
Zhao Pan'er pointed to the tea table aside, and the thief immediately pushed her towards that side.
"Sanniang, copper basin!"
Just as he was about to approach, Zhao Paner suddenly shouted, and then a copper basin flew out of the back kitchen and hit a thief heavily on the face.
Zhao Pan'er also took the opportunity to escape, picked up the tea tray in his hand and shouted towards the thief's head.
Upon seeing this, the government officials immediately picked up the knives on the ground, and the tea shop immediately became chaotic. The only two tables that could avoid the chaos were Ying Zhu and Gu Qianfan.
After a chaotic fight, the government officials were like useless pieces of iron. Each of them was no match for these thieves. I don't know where they got the courage to chase these thieves.
The thief who had been chasing Zhao Pan'er was teased, and his anger increased sharply. After dodging the tea set thrown by Zhao Pan'er, he swung his knife directly towards Zhao Pan'er who had no time to dodge.
Seeing that the blade was about to fall, two figures rushed out one after the other.
Ying Zhu hit the thief's ribs with a flying knee. At the same time as the sound of bone cracking, the thief also flew out of the store, his eyes rolled and there was no movement.
Zhao Pan'er, who had not yet calmed down, stared blankly at Ying Zhu. Gu Qianfan, who stopped behind, was also staring at Ying Zhu's back, but there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
"Thank you, sir." Zhao Pan'er came back to her senses and thanked her hurriedly.
"You're welcome, you are very brave. If someone does something bad, won't you regret doing this?" Ying Zhuxiao asked.
Zhao Pan'er shook his head and smiled slightly: "I don't regret anything, but I don't regret anything I decide, no matter what the outcome is."
At this time, Gu Qianfan came over and said, "Is this brother a practitioner? He's very skilled. I wonder who he studied under?"
"That's a lot. It's like learning a hundred arts."
"Oh? Who are you from?" Gu Qianfan continued to ask.
"People from other dynasties are not people of the Song Dynasty. I have always liked to travel around the world and get to know those knights. I have heard for a long time that there are many masters in the martial arts of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, I came to the Song Dynasty and planned to visit various sects."
Ying Zhu knew what Gu Qianfan meant, so he smiled and made the words clear in circles. As for whether he believed it or not, then let him know.
Gu Qianfan didn't feel like asking any more questions, so he just nodded with a smile, turned around and led his men out of the tea shop.
After leaving the tea shop, Gu Qianfan ordered his subordinates who were following him: "Take along and check this person out."
"My subordinate understands."
On Ying Zhu's side, Zhao Pan'er brought out a new cup of tea from the kitchen, handed it to Ying Zhu and said, "Young master is so kind and kind, and I have nothing to repay, so I can only express my thanks with a cup of tea. This is Lingyin from Qiantang." We only produce ten taels of Buddhist tea every year, so please give me a taste of it.”
Ying Zhu reached out to take it, took a sip and praised: "Good tea, not bad."
"As long as the young master likes it."
"Shopkeeper, as I said before, staying here is really burying your good tea skills. I sincerely want to invite you to join the business alliance I want to build." Ying Zhu put down the tea cup and said seriously.
"Sir, I know how much I weigh. I don't dare to covet wealth. I just want to live a good life in peace and stability."
"That's the case, it's a pity. Then we'll meet again if we are destined, and say goodbye." After speaking, Ying Zhu took Huang Rong and left the tea shop.
... ...
The next day.
Ying Zhu and Huang Rong led the horses and walked leisurely towards the outside of the city. After about three or four hours, they stopped by a small river and rested temporarily.
"Hey! There's a pheasant."
As she spoke, Huang Rong picked up a small stone and flicked it with two fingers. The stone shot out instantly and hit the pheasant on the head.
