Ruan Tang arrived at the restaurant happily and found a conspicuous place in the lobby to sit and wait.
As soon as that little brother comes, he can see her.
It's just that she hasn't seen the little brother since the restaurant hasn't opened yet, and there is an endless stream of guests.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she stood up from her chair, running straight to the inn opposite.
Shopkeeper Luo is checking the accounts at the counter. This month's profits are considerable, and he is very happy.
Seeing Ruan Tang coming over, he greeted warmly, "Boss Ruan, are you here?"
Ruan Tang didn't want to be polite to him. He stepped forward and said directly, "Is that distinguished guest in the room now?"
"Which distinguished guest?" Shopkeeper Luo's mind was all on the ledger, and he didn't pay much attention to Ruan Tang's words.
"Is it the one I came to ask Shopkeeper Luo about yesterday?"
Only then did Shopkeeper Luo turn his attention to Ruan Tang again, "Oh, you mean that weird young master? He checked out this morning. I wanted to send someone to inform you, but I was so busy that I forgot. Sorry, I’m so sorry, Boss Ruan.”
"Sure enough!" Ruan Tang's face showed a bit of disappointment.
She should have guessed that the little brother was just perfunctory with her.
She foolishly thought that people would come looking for her.
Ruan Tang turned around to leave when she suddenly heard Ruan Qingluan's voice. She looked back and saw Ruan Qingluan standing near the stairs on the second floor.
Without thinking, she immediately walked towards the counter where Shopkeeper Luo was, then squatted down and hid under Shopkeeper Luo's counter.
Shopkeeper Luo didn't know why, and looked down at Ruan Tang, who was squatting not far away, "Boss Ruan, you..."
Ruan Tang quickly raised his hand to make a 'shush' gesture to his mouth, and then whispered: "Shopkeeper Luo, don't say anything, I'll hide for a while."
Shopkeeper Luo was curious and didn't know who she was trying to avoid, but he cooperated.
Ruan Qingluan's voice got closer and closer. After arriving at the shopkeeper, Ruan Tang also heard another voice.
She was also familiar with Shen Qianyi.
Ruan Tang really didn't expect that Shen Qianyi would be here too.
Did Shen Qianyi know that Ruan Qingluan was with that fat man yesterday?
Ruan Tang suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Shen Qianyi gave him to different men in order to build relationships with him.
So, in this life, she did not fall into the hands of Shen Qianyi, but instead became the pawn of the relationship with Ruan Qingluan?
There was a trace of ridicule on Ruan Tang's lips. This was the result of Ruan Qingluan's pursuit.
But listening to the voices of the two talking, Ruan Qingluan didn't seem to be annoyed with him.
Ruan Tang had to admire Ruan Qingluan.
The two of them came to check out the hotel.
"How many days do you two guests want to stay?" Shopkeeper Luo asked politely.
"I can't live here anymore. Please ask the shopkeeper to refund the remaining rent."
"Okay, guest officer Rong Xiao will do some calculations. Please wait a moment."
Shopkeeper Luo's abacus sound sounded, and the voices of Ruan Qingluan and Shen Qianyi also sounded again at this time.
They spoke in a deliberately lowered voice.
Fortunately, Ruan Tang was relatively close and could barely hear clearly.
"Yi Lang, do we really want to go to Dayue Kingdom to trade? Is there any danger with so many weapons? What if..."
"There is nothing wrong with it. I asked you to accompany Mr. Shen yesterday, not just casually." There was a hint of displeasure in Shen Qianyi's voice.
"I'm just worried..."
They fled all the way from Shangjing and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for two or three years. In the past year, they slowly came out of the mountains and forests.
She has had enough of living without food in a place where birds don't poop.
Now that she finally came out, she didn't want to go back.
Fortunately, Shen Qianyi has accumulated a lot of connections over the years, otherwise they would probably starve to death even if they came out.
She is most satisfied with her current life, but what she doesn't like is helping Shen Qianyi to please those old men.
But she knew that only if she sacrificed herself could she and Shen Qianyi live a good life in the future.
And she also believed that Shen Qianyi would definitely be grateful to her and would only treat her better in the future.
"If you are afraid, stay here."
"I don't want it. I will go wherever Yi Lang goes." Ruan Qingluan took Shen Qianyi's arm and rested her head on his shoulder, looking like a little bird.
At this time, shopkeeper Luo also settled the accounts.
"Two guests, this is the rent money refunded to you. Please count it."
Shopkeeper Luo placed several silver ingots and some copper plates on the table.
Shen Qianyi looked at the silver ingots and copper plates on the table, pursed her lips, and never reached out to take them.
Ruan Qingluan glanced at him, then smiled awkwardly, stretched out his hand to collect the money.
In the past, Shen Qianyi had no worries about food and clothing, so he would care about these few dollars, but now he has to care about it. Ruan Qingluan can understand the huge gap in his heart.
"Yi Lang, let's go."
After taking the money, the two quickly left the inn.
Ruan Tang also stood up from the ground just after they left.
"Boss Ruan, you..."
"Boss Luo, I have something to do now, so I'll take a step ahead and come visit you another day when I'm free."
After Ruan Tang finished speaking, he hurried out of the inn.
After she walked out of the inn, she began to look around.
Finally, at a street intersection diagonally opposite, I saw Shen Qianyi and Ruan Qingluan turning around.
I just heard them talking about weapons and the Otsuki Kingdom.
Although Ruan Tang doesn't understand this, he also knows that Dayue Kingdom has been frequently harassing the borders of Great Zhou Kingdom recently.
It may be a matter of time before the two countries go to war.
If she guessed correctly, the transactions and weapons mentioned by Shen Qianyi and the others were probably Shen Qianyi's private sale of weapons from the Great Zhou Kingdom to the Great Moon Kingdom.
When the two countries are at war, only the common people will suffer. And if the two countries really fight, the first place to become a battlefield will definitely be Dianzhou. Yucheng and Dianzhou are closely related to each other. No matter what, Yucheng cannot be alone.
Now that she knew their plan, she couldn't let them do whatever they wanted.
Ruan Tang didn't think much and followed them in the direction they left.
She didn't dare to follow too closely and kept her distance.
She also specially made marks along the way. She, Qingfeng, Xiaofeng and the others knew the marks. If something happened to her, they would have a direction to find her.
Ruan Tang followed Shen Qianyi and Ruan Qingluan from the center of Yucheng Street to the suburbs.
The two of them didn't stop until they came to a cave.
Ruan Tang didn't dare to get close, so he had to hide in the bushes and watch them from a distance.
Not long after they stood at the entrance of the cave, several people came out. They stood at the entrance of the cave and talked for a while before Shen Qianyi entered the cave again with them.
Ruan Tang waited for them to enter for a while, then hurried to the entrance of the cave and looked inside.
It's just that it's dark inside and there's nothing visible outside.
"We're here, how can we be content if we don't go and see what they are doing?" Ruan Tang thought to himself, moving his steps towards the cave.
She didn't have a fire seal, so she could only rely on the weak light coming in from outside, and reluctantly felt her way toward the cave wall.
Fortunately, there is only one path extending inwards, and there is no bifurcation. Even inside, with no light, Ruan Tang can move forward by touching the cave wall.
Ruan Tang didn't stop until he heard the sound and faint light refracted over.
