Chapter 42 Sizhu Restaurant

early morning.

There was not much luggage, the servants of Zou's residence helped Chu Xiaoye pack for a while, and then the two of them had breakfast and were ready to go on the road.

Putting on a cloak with a big hat, Chu Xiaoye walked to the door, and the servants of the Zou family rushed in and handed Chu Xiaoye an invitation card.

Chu Xiaoye and Mu Yuntian exchanged glances, opened the invitation, and it was signed by Wen Tai.

The invitation said that Wen Tai heard that the Second Young Master of the Chu Family and the Master of the Xinghen Palace were staying at the Zou Family Bank. He happened to pass by Wangshui County on business, so he wanted to invite the Second Young Master to talk about the old days.I want to invite the two of you to Sizhu Restaurant in Wangshui County for dinner tonight.

Although Chu Xiaoye wished to have this person skinned and cramped, but thinking of Mu Yuntian's words that day, she also knew that this was not the time to act impulsively.So he suppressed his anger and tried to analyze the matter rationally.

"Hongmen Banquet?" This was Chu Xiaoye's first reaction.

The kind of murderer who planned to murder Chu Zhou, Chu Xiaoye really couldn't think of anything to do with this person.

"What is that?" Mu Yuntian raised his eyebrows.

"Uh... It means that Wu'an has good intentions. What exactly is he going to do?" Chu Xiaoye thought that there should be no such saying in this world, so she changed the subject.

"It's certain that he has no good intentions, but since he dared to call us over in such a grand manner, he probably wouldn't do it rashly." Mu Yuntian pulled Chu Xiaoye back into the room.Even at the end of March, the morning breeze was still a bit bleak.

Chu Xiaoye thinks about it too, this time Wen Tai invited him and Mu Yuntian at the same time, and held a banquet at the most prosperous restaurant in Wangshui County, it would be too blatant to do anything.

"Hmm..." Chu Xiaoye pulled down his hat and sat down again in the room, "You said, if that Zhong En really was with him, then he should know what happened yesterday, right?"

Mu Yuntian nodded and said, "Could it be that you are here to spy on the news?"

"It's possible." Chu Xiaoye casually threw the invitation on the table, which only said that Wen Tai had "heard" that the two of them were in Wangshui County.But the trip of the two of them was extremely secretive. Although the two lived in Zou's house for so many days, they rarely went out. I wondered how many hidden clues were hidden in this "hearing".

"The people in Xiangfu are still watching the bank?" Chu Xiaoye sighed.

"Yesterday we withdrew after going out." Mu Yuntian touched his chin and shook his head.

"If Wen Tai knew what happened yesterday, he must also know that you were seriously injured. If there is no senior to help you heal your wounds, you should have to cultivate for a while? Then...Where is Wen Tai's purpose? To spy on your injury?" Chu Xiaoye imitated Mu Yuntian and touched her chin.

"Well, if he knew that I was injured internally, he would definitely not miss this opportunity. If the real purpose of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the Chu family, then there will be no less pursuit of us in the future." Mu Yuntian frowned.Although he can stop the wave after wave of assassins, if the kidnapping happened at Chu Xiaoye yesterday...

Looking at the glaring red mark on Chu Xiaoye's neck, Mu Yuntian's face was covered with a layer of frost.

"Then why don't you take this opportunity to let him relax his vigilance and lure the snake out of the hole?" Chu Xiaoye turned to look at him, thought for a while and said, "Why don't I go to the banquet alone? If you are not here, it will be easier for him to show his feet. I can Take this opportunity to set up news, and let him think that you are too seriously injured to go out."

Mu Yuntian didn't answer, just looked at him with a frown, full of disapproval.

Rationally, Mu Yuntian naturally knew that Chu Xiaoye's proposal was indeed the best way to find out the news, but emotionally, no matter what, he couldn't let him go alone.

Chu Xiaoye naturally knew what he was thinking, so she put on a big smile and said flatteringly: "You also said that there are so many people in the restaurant, he won't do it rashly... Or you quietly protect me? Huh?"

Chu Xiaoye moved closer to Mu Yuntian's face that was facing the cold, and tried to stare at him with wide eyes, so that the three big characters "Trust me" written in the eyes would shine a little more.

Mu Yuntian looked at the kitten's round eyes, angry and funny, finally heaved a long sigh, and said: "I will find a way to book all the shops around that can see you, and make sure that your every move will be seen by me." I will recruit some subordinates of Xingshen Palace, and when you go to the banquet at night, I will deploy guards and let them guard all directions around the Sizhu Restaurant, and... If you find anything wrong, feel free to call someone or go ahead Run out, I will meet you outside."

Chu Xiaoye chuckled, and said, "I'm here for a banquet, not a robbery, so don't worry about it."

Chu Xiaoye straightened up and leaned over, pinched Mu Yuntian's cheeks with both hands, and said, "Thaw out, thaw out."

Mu Yuntian looked at the heartless look of the kitten, and secretly sighed.

But in the afternoon, when Palace Master Mu really went to deploy guards near Sizhu Restaurant first, his face became even more gloomy.

Because all the private rooms in Sizhu Restaurant have no windows.

If you want to peek inside the private room from the outside, the only way is through the door of the private room, but once the door is closed, the entire private room will become a closed room.

So after finding out the innocence of the owner of Sizhu Restaurant, Palace Master Mu had another calculation in mind.

night time.

In March, before the rainy season, the moonlight is just right and the sky is full of stars.

Under Mu Yuntian's coercion, Chu Xiaoye swallowed all the antidote pills with irrelevant medicinal properties at once, and went to the banquet in full dress.

Wangshui County is not as prosperous as Wangcheng, but the long-term tranquility makes this small mountain town have a special charm.When the lights are on, all the restaurants in the downtown area are hung with lanterns and brightly lit.

Chu Xiaoye rode a licensed horse through the market alone, and the shops on the side of the road were still open, bustling with people.The bright lights are paved on the bluestone of the street, and the sound of horseshoes is crisp.

When I got off the horse at Sizhu Restaurant, Chu Xiaoye almost sprained her ankle, and then remembered that she had never ridden such a tall BMW alone on weekdays.

Helping the guest to stand still, Xiao Er, who greeted the guest at the door, quickly led the horse to the shed and tied it up. Chu Xiaoye straightened her clothes and went upstairs.

"Young master, do you have a reservation?" The waiter in the store saw such a beautiful young master in exquisite clothes, so he rushed up to greet him.

"Is there a person surnamed Wen waiting here?" Chu Xiaoye squinted at the waiter in the shop, and deliberately picked up the pampered son Fan Er, showing her acting skills to the fullest.

"Yes, yes, you are the young master?" Xiao Er was used to seeing all kinds of winks from the guests, so he didn't care.Seeing that Chu Xiaoye nodded arrogantly, she shook the rag on her shoulder and led Chu Xiaoye upstairs.

Chu Xiaoye was thinking about things as she walked, her mind was full of how to deal with this person, and she also wanted to talk routinely.

Bamboo Rhyme Pavilion.

As soon as Chu Xiaoye entered, Wen Tai stood up and went to the door to welcome him in.

Chu Xiaoye glanced at this man, who was wearing a crimson robe and a jasper crown.It was too dark in the silk and satin village that day, and I couldn't see this person's face clearly. At this time, I realized that the way Wen Tai looked at 25 was [-] miles away from Mu Yuntian's appearance, but if he was placed in a crowd Among them, he also somewhat looks like the young master of a rich family.It's just that this person's cheekbones are a little high, and his eyes are cloudy, which makes Chu Xiaoye feel that it's not pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.

The pair of eyes shining with stars all the time came to mind, Chu Xiaoye secretly hated how she could compare such a scum with Mu Yuntian.

"Xiao Ye." Wen Tai smiled and came over to say hello.

My uncle.Chu Xiaoye slandered, and replied with a flat face: "Deputy General Wen."

Afterwards, he ignored this person and walked in and found a seat to sit down.

Wen Tai didn't seem to care, he chose a seat next to Chu Xiaoye and sat down, and said softly, "Xiaoye is still angry with me?"

Chu Xiaoye was taken aback, did this person discover what he knew?After thinking about it carefully, I found it impossible, and immediately responded: "If you are not angry, how can you be angry." I just want to stab you to death.

Wen Tai sighed, pretending to be guilty and said: "It's good that Xiaoye is not angry, let me explain it to you slowly tonight, okay?"

Chu Xiaoye glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, saw that he didn't respond, and said, "Vice General Wen, you're being polite, but you and I don't know each other well, please ask Vice General Wen to call me Young Master Chu."

Chu Xiaoye took a mouthful of Lieutenant Wen, and deliberately accentuated the word "Deputy" for the lieutenant, thinking that this would be the only way to relieve her anger.

Regardless of whether your brother is around or not, you will always be a lieutenant general.

Wen Tai looked bitter on his face, but Chu Xiaoye saw clearly the suspicion in his soul, and said in a low voice: "Why did Xiaoye deliberately have a relationship with me, it made me feel very uncomfortable. Anyway, what happened that day I can explain it well."

Chu Xiaoye was so disgusted that her hairs stood on end, her face was stiff and she stopped talking.There were many twists and turns in his mind, and he knew in his heart that the former junior high school student must have some connection with this person, but he didn't know anything about those things, so he couldn't speak rashly to reveal his secrets.

Seeing that he ignored him, Wen Tai stopped talking, and called the waiter at the door to order the food to be served quickly.

"Why didn't Palace Master Mu come with you?" Wen Tai turned and sat down, seemingly casually asking.

Chu Xiaoye's heart tightened, and she secretly thought that this person really came to find out the news. At that time, her face turned bitter, and she seemed to murmur reluctantly: "He has some things to do."

Chu Xiaoye's expression caught Wen Tai's eyes, and he naturally understood that Mu Yuntian was indeed seriously injured and unable to go out.

"Oh, Palace Master Xingshen naturally has a lot of work to do. If Xiao Ye is lonely, just come to me. I will live in the inn opposite the restaurant." Wen Tai looked at him tenderly.

You fart, you obviously live in the silk and satin village.

Chu Xiaoye raised her middle finger in her heart, but she nodded lightly on her face, indicating that she knew.

"What's wrong with Xiaoye's neck?" Wen Tai leaned over and stretched out his hand to pull the collar of Chu Xiaoye's clothes to see the wound.

Chu Xiaoye knew that this person wanted to ask about yesterday, so she pushed him away a little, straightened her collar and said nonsense, "Yesterday I was scratched by Hua Kui in Chunfeng Tower."

"Oh? Which oiran does Xiao Ye have her eyes on again?"

Chu Xiaoye waved her hand, forcibly changed the topic, and asked instead: "How do you know I'm in Wangshui County?"

"Oh, after Chu Zhou left, I visited the National Teacher's Mansion a few times. The Master of the National Teacher said that you were very sad, so he went out with Palace Master Xingshen to relax." Wen Tai carefully observed Chu Xiaoye's expression .

Chu Xiaoye nodded, teasing you inwardly that you were ashamed to say that it was not your fault that my brother left.

"Does Xiaoye know what I'm doing in Wangshui County?" Seeing that he was always refusing to speak, Wen Tai took the initiative to ask.

"What are you doing?" Chu Xiaoye pretended to be puzzled.

"Of course I came here on a special trip to find Xiaoye. Churi is no longer here, so Xiaoye is naturally my half-brother. At a time like this, I naturally need to take care of him more." Wen Tai spoke softly.

Chu Xiaoye secretly scolded someone for being your little brother, go play with your own little brother.

"Cough cough," Chu Xiaoye calmed down the turbulent emotions, and asked, "Why did you come to me on a special trip? We don't have a deep friendship."

Chu Xiaoye really didn't know the relationship between this person and her predecessor, Chu Ye, so she had to find out first.

"Alas..." Wen Tai sighed, poured a cup of hot tea for Chu Xiaoye and handed it over, looking at him helplessly, and said, "Sure enough, Xiaoye won't forgive me. When did we have a relationship? If it was for the prince's son It was my fault that day, I shouldn't have helped Xiao Ye, may I apologize to you first?"

In Chu Xiaoye's mind, she tried hard to search for relevant information about Prince Duan.He knew that there were four major families in Jinnuo Wangcheng, the Chu family of the State Teacher's Mansion, the Wen family of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Tan family of the Marshal's mansion, and the Li family of Duan Wang's Mansion.The four major families all have children and grandchildren who are about the same age as Chu Day and Chu Ye. I think this prince's son must have some connection with Chu Ye, who is naturally playful.

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Xiaoye asked arrogantly, pretending to be unreasonable.

"Don't be angry, Xiaoye. The prince didn't fight the cricket with you once or twice. Xiaoye only lost once, so why worry about it so much. It was my fault that day. I didn't help Xiaoye find a suitable cricket. How about a hundred cricket kings making amends?"

Chu Xiaoye almost vomited blood, why do I want a hundred crickets, feed the birds!

But in this way, Chu Xiaoye knew that this Wen Tai must have a very close relationship with Junior Second Young Master, otherwise why would he even ask this person to catch crickets.
