Fast-traveling and sultry: The villain came to the door to beg to be scumbag

Chapter 147: The Charming Beauty of the Lord of War (35)

Therefore, Shen Tingyu's stupidity meant that Shen Huai had no choice but to embark on this lonely road.

Because what Shen Huai wants to do, and the only thing he can do, is to do his best to protect the person he has been protecting.

Xiao Er then brought a few more dishes, the portions were not much but they could ensure Ji Ning was full.

It can be seen that the shopkeeper really put his mind to it.

Xiao Er came up to clean up the dishes after a while, saw that Ji Ning was bored by herself, and chatted with Ji Ning about the lively things that were going on while cleaning.

Hearing Gong Liyue's name, Ji Ning still couldn't help asking a few more questions.

"You mean the lady from the Gong family came back the day before?"

Xiao Er is a chatterbox, seeing Ji Ning pick up the conversation, Xiao Er is not willing to let go of this opportunity to gossip.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Xiao Er hesitated, "Miss, wait a minute, I will take the dishes down first and let the kitchen staff wash them."

If the shopkeeper couldn't see him, he might have to train him again at night.

Ji Ning nodded.

Feeling that the night wind was a bit cool, Ji Ning walked over and closed the window.

Downstairs, a familiar figure flashed past, and it was dark, so Ji Ning didn't look very carefully.

Xiao Er went downstairs with the tray, and because Ji Ning took the initiative to talk to him, she looked extraordinarily energetic.

After going to the back kitchen to put the dishes out, I bumped into the shopkeeper and Shen Huai who lived here the day before.

"Treasurer!"

Zhan Wanyu glanced at Shen Huai nervously, then turned around and pretended to reprimand, "What do you look like, what if you bump into a guest?"

Xiao Er also knew that the young man in front of him was of high status.

It can be seen from the shopkeeper's usual attitude towards him.

Xiao Er immediately bowed his head and apologized, "My lord, please forgive me for being rude."

Shen Huai waved his hand, "Why are you so happy today?"

Zhan Wanyu is his confidant, but he accidentally injured his waist in a battle, and he can no longer accept heavy physical training.

So Shen Huai used his contacts in the capital to find a job for Zhan Wanyu.

Knowing Zhan Wanyu's character, Shen Huai would trust anyone who Zhan Wanyu liked.

In addition, it is not suitable for him to reveal his identity now, so he tried his best to behave like an ordinary person in many things.

Seeing that Shen Huai was so easy to talk, Xiao Er didn't hold back, "A female guest came to the inn today, and the shopkeeper saw that she was alone, so he arranged for her to live in a superior room."

"Just now when the villain went up, he chatted with the guest a little bit. I didn't expect the guest to look aloof, but he was very easy to get along with. He would ask questions when he heard interesting things."

Seeing Xiao Er's wandering mind.

Zhan Wanyu, who was familiar with him, said, "Do you still think that the girl is good-looking, so you feel proud that you can talk to her?"

Being poked into something, Xiao Er scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Shopkeeper, I didn't think so."

Zhan Wanyu and Shen Huai still had something to talk about, so they planned to dismiss Xiao Er.

"Okay, let's go on with your work. Looking at the current time, there may be no one coming. Check the situation and get ready to rest."

The shop waiter looked at Zhan Wanyu with some hesitation, "Shopkeeper, I promised that girl just now that I would chat with her."

Zhan Wanyu pretended to be angry and kicked Xiao Er, "I think you just want to talk on your own, and it's because of the girl."

The second child grew up by himself, and Zhan Wanyu knew best what he was like, "Go ahead, keep your sense of proportion, she is a little girl after all."

Xiaoer stepped back and ran upstairs in a hurry.

Shen Huai looked at Xiao Er who was leaving, and patted Zhan Wanyu's shoulder.

"It seems you trust him a lot."

Zhan Wanyu's face changed suddenly, "My lord, please forgive me. Huafu is just talking too much, but she is definitely not a person who doesn't know how to measure. I just offended my lord, so I beg my lord to spare his life."

Even now he is not Shen Huai's soldier.

But the blood of the soldiers and the thinking of obeying orders have penetrated into the bone marrow.

As long as Shen Huai is alive, he will always be their general, someone they must obey.

Zhan Wanyu knew Shen Huai's taboo.

But after years of getting along with Huafu, he has long treated him as his own brother.

Although Huafu's life could not be saved in the end, Zhan Wanyu still wanted to try.

Shen Huai remained calm, looked at Zhan Wanyu's expression and smiled.

"Well, it's still the same righteous and awe-inspiring look as before."

If Zhan Wanyu hadn't been too emotional, he wouldn't have been ambushed, let alone suffered such a serious injury.

Hearing Shen Huai's words, the tragic experience in the past came to mind.

That war was a lifetime of shame for Zhan Wanyu.

Even though he was betrayed and betrayed by the person he trusted the most, Zhan Wanyu still wanted to treat everyone and everything around him with kindness.

This is something that Shen Huai despises, but it is also what he appreciates the most.

"My lord...it's my subordinates who have let you down."

Shen Huai waved his hand, "Very good, if I fail in the future, there will still be a place to go."

Since coming to the capital, Shen Huai has never worn a mask again.

His face was originally that of a gentle and moist young master, but between his brows, there was a murderous and decisive aura.

Even Zhan Wanyu, who had known him for a long time, couldn't help but tremble when he looked at Shen Huai.

Not to mention those who have never experienced life and death at all.

"I'm going to the palace tonight, take care of Xiyue, don't let anyone get close to her except you."

After Xiyue learned that Ji Ning had returned to the frontier, she was now ready to put all her eggs in one basket with them.

At this critical juncture, Shen Huai did not allow anything other than a single point to happen.

Zhan Wanyu also knew the seriousness of the matter, "Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will definitely fulfill their mission."

When Hua Fu went to see Ji Ning, he brought a bucket of hot water by the way.

Before he was about to enter the door, he heard a woman's voice from the next door again, Hua Fu confirmed that he had heard correctly this time, and put down the bucket to take a look.

But as soon as he reached the door, he remembered what Zhan Wanyu had told him, so Hua Fu went to Ji Ning's room as if nothing had happened.

When she entered, Ji Ning was arranging her clothes.

Seeing what Huafu was thinking about with his head down, Ji Ning asked politely, "Why are you being scolded? Look at your sluggish appearance."

Hua Fu is a person who can't hide things, and when Ji Ning took the initiative to ask, Hua Fu immediately expressed his doubts.

"Just half a month ago, a few men came to our store. They were dressed mysteriously. When they came in, they lived next door without saying a word."

"It's strange to say that since then, I can hear the voice of a woman next door every time, but every time I want to listen carefully, the voice disappears immediately."

"Just now, I heard a woman's voice again."

Ji Ning stopped what she was doing.

Half a month was almost the time when Xiyue was taken away.

"Is that man dark-skinned, tall, and there is a scar on the tiger's mouth?"
