Seeing that it was already getting late, Wu Anyi slowly stood up and prepared to leave. He said to Wang Qizhi and the others, "Let's go! Let's go into the city and have a good drink at Jianye Restaurant."
Wang Qizhi quickly stopped him and said, "I heard that it costs a lot of money to have a meal there. I don't want to embarrass you."
Wu Anyi naturally understood what his brother was thinking, and then he smiled and said: "Don't worry! We don't have to spend an extra tael of silver to go there, because this restaurant is owned by our royal family."
Wang Qizhi nodded, "In that case, let's go!"
As soon as the three of them walked out of the pavilion, Wu Anyi shouted to someone not far away: "Let's go!"
Soon, the sound of iron hooves could be heard on the road not far away, and a group of soldiers in armor appeared behind the three of them, about a hundred people in total.
Wang Qizhi looked at this group of cavalry and asked curiously: "This is it?"
Wu Anyi explained: "You really don't need to think too much about this. My father figured out that it would be getting late after we finished talking about these things. Although I have martial arts skills, it will always be uneasy at night, so he sent these cavalry to protect me. "
Wang Qizhi didn't think much, and got on the carriage with Yan'er and drove towards Jianye City.
When we arrived at Jianye City, the moon had already climbed up on the branches, and the city gates had long been closed. Even if the prince Wu Anyi wanted to enter the city, he had to ask the King of Chu to give him permission.
Wu Anyi stood outside the city gate and shouted: "Hurry up and open the door for me."
At this moment, an armored general appeared on the city wall. When he saw Wu Anyi, he did not rush to open the city gate, but asked:
"Your Highness, the city gate is closed. If I want to enter the city, do you have the king's handwriting?"
Wu Anyi didn't want to talk nonsense with the general, so he took off a token from his waist and threw it on the city wall. After the general took the token, he checked it carefully in his hand and immediately asked someone to open the city gate. , and led the soldiers guarding the city to greet him in person.
The general led the soldiers to kneel on the ground. Wu Anyi dismounted and came to the front of the general, saying: "General Zhao, you are still so rigid in your work. With my abilities, are you still afraid that I will rebel?"
General Zhao said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "This is the duty of my subordinates."
Wu Anyi said helplessly: "You! I really don't know what to say." With a wave of his hand, he led everyone into the city.
Since it was getting late, there was a curfew in the city and the streets were not empty except for watchmen and patrolling soldiers.
At this moment, the patrolling soldiers discovered Wu Anyi's group and immediately came forward to interrogate him. Wandering outside after curfew was a serious crime of beheading. When the soldiers saw the group of cavalry, they were so frightened that they immediately changed their minds. His face was so expressionless that even a first-grade general did not dare to bring so many people into the capital. Who dared to be so bold?
When these patrolling soldiers came to Wu Anyi tremblingly, the leading soldier stepped forward and asked: "Who... dares to go out during curfew? Aren't you... not afraid of losing your head?"
Naturally, a little guy like him didn't know a big shot like the prince, so Wu Anyi didn't talk too much and just took off the token from his waist and threw it to the leading soldier.
After seeing the token, the leading soldier knelt down directly. This was the token held by the King of Chu. Anyone who could hold this thing was not a simple person, so the young man in front of him was either a prince or a promising young man. General.
After Wu Anyi dismounted and retrieved the token, he then said: "Get up! Just continue patrolling."
Then he turned to the cavalry beside him and said: "Soldiers, thank you for your hard work. Go back to the camp! I won't be staying in the palace today. I will have a good meal with my friend at Jianye Building."
The leading general didn't waste any words. He said "yes" and left with his cavalry.
What Wu Anyi just said frightened the patrolling soldiers. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of them was His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. They were so frightened that they immediately knelt down again. No matter what Wu Anyi said, they would not get up, so they had to carry Wang Qizhi and the two walked to Jianye Building.
Since there was a curfew in the city and all the people were closed, Jianye Building was no exception, so Wu Anyi had no choice but to knock on the door.
After a while, a young voice came from the first floor. It seemed that he was a clerk here.
"Our store is closed. If you want to stay in the store, come back tomorrow."
This is really not a deliberate attempt by this guy to embarrass Wu Anyi and the others. There are regulations in the Chu region that all shops are not allowed to open their doors to entertain customers after the curfew. Violators will be severely punished. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, if Wu Anyi and Yan'er opened the door, no one would be there. Anything, after all, they are the masters of Chu Land, so how can they be punished.
Wu Anyi replied: "It's me."
Soon, the door creaked open, and a young man dressed as a waiter walked out. As soon as he went out, he knelt down to Wu Anyi and Yan'er, "Kowtow to the prince and princess."
Wu Anyi took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to the waiter, saying: "Prepare a table of wine and food for us, and prepare three first-class guest rooms. This silver will be regarded as your hard work."
The waiter happily took the money, welcomed the few people into the restaurant, took them to a private room, served them a pot of fine Longjing tea, and left in a hurry.
Wang Qizhi was a man who was used to living a hard life, so he felt a little uncomfortable looking at such a luxuriously decorated room.
"An Yi, there are only three of us. Tell the waiter, if you miss a few dishes, you won't be able to finish them. Don't waste it."
Wu Anyi said: "Don't worry, it can't be wasted. We won't be able to finish it. Those who work in the restaurant will help solve it."
Having said that, Wang Qizhi always felt that something was wrong. Even ordinary people are still human! He always felt a little guilty about eating the leftovers of three people, so Wang Qizhi said: "In the future, when there are few of us, we will order less dishes to avoid real waste."
Seeing that the boy had returned to his nagging look, Wu Anyi and Yan'er finally relaxed. It seemed that Wang Qizhi was really not affected much by that incident.
Soon, wine and food were served on the table. What Wang Qizhi didn't expect was that these dishes were not as luxurious as he imagined. Most ordinary hotels could make them, such as braised fish, braised pork, eggplant with minced meat, etc.
Wang Qizhi was also a little curious. He had heard that the dishes served at Jianye Restaurant were extremely luxurious. Seafood, abalone, and the like were not high on the list here. As long as you had money, you could make rare things like bear paws and shark fins. .
All this was what Wu Anyi did. He knew Wang Qizhi's temper very well. If he really served those precious foods, this guy would have to fall out, so he left the place with an excuse and told the waiter that the most common Just the dishes are fine, don’t make those weird things.
