The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Shaodian Si Shui walked into the inn with his hands behind his back, his face full of bruises, and his head held high.

A scent of aged wood hit my nose. In the darkness, the inn was brightly lit. After I came in, I saw that there were no candles lit on the left side as there was no one there.

Although there was candlelight on the right side, it looked soft and a little dim.

She looked around and saw that there was another table of guests besides her, sitting in the private room on the far right.

There were three men, but they looked a little weird. They were clearly wearing the clothes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but for some reason, their demeanor was not like that of the men of the Great Zhou Dynasty at all. They seemed a little wild and unruly.

Even their skin and facial features appear angular and overly tough.

Especially the look in their eyes, which was full of vigilance and eagerness.

After seeing the pendant on her right waist and the bruises on her face.

A few people withdrew their gazes with disdain and continued to eat the roasted meat and drink wine in silence.

It was obvious that he had mistaken Shaodian Sishui for a noble young man who had escaped. The bruises on his face showed that he had no skills and had been beaten up.

However, the man in white secretly looked at her for a long time.

Shaodian Sishui also secretly looked at the man. The man had a pair of beautiful eagle eyes, which were deep, and a rectangular face with clear edges and corners.

She suddenly lowered her head and frowned slightly.

No way, eagle eyes, rectangular face?

Could it be...

She looked up again and carefully examined his earlobe. The moment she saw the extra tumor on his left ear, she almost laughed.

Yue Chemu, can I meet him here? !

It's true that enemies always meet in a narrow road.

I think he was chasing Shaodian Haolan and heading to Guifang and staying here.

Shaodian Sishui exhaled, ignored the hostile and then contemptuous looks from several people, and walked towards another private seat on the right.

She didn't want to sit close to them, but she didn't light the candle on the left side, obviously to save money and only lit the right side.

She couldn't go to the left either, because she didn't think so and thought she was afraid of these people.

Sitting down gracefully, Shaodian Sishui looked up into the store and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Where's the buddy?"

"I'm coming."

The waiter who was serving the guests quickly came out from the back hall, took a look at Shaodian Sishui, and then looked away after seeing the pendant tied around her right waist.

"What would you like to eat, young master? We have excellent roasted meat, and..."

She was talking while wiping the table, and before she could finish her words, Shaodian Sishui threw a shell coin to her.

"Bring three of your signature dishes, a jug of strong liquor, and prepare a room. This young master needs to rest."

The guy took the shell coin, his brows immediately lit up with joy and he nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, sir. I'll get ready right away."

Shaodian Sishui looked around calmly, then looked down at the knife marks left on the table.

There was no expression on his face, but he was actually sighing in his heart.

It’s not easy to run a shop. There are often fights here, and the wooden tables are covered with marks of swords and knives.

No matter how she set the plot, Ji Xingchen was able to open an inn in this remote place, which showed some ability.

Soon, the food came, a pound of roasted meat, two plates of vegetables, and a pot of hot wine.

Shaodian Sishui picked up the wine glass on the table, poured herself some wine, and started drinking with relish.

Suddenly I felt that the meat today was particularly delicious, and even the liquor that had almost no taste of alcohol became so delicious.

Sure enough, when a person’s emotional level is at its highest, even unpalatable things will taste good.

"Please be kind, my dear, and give us something to eat!"

Suddenly a girl's voice was heard from outside the door.

"Go away, go away, little beggar, where did you come from? Get out of the way."

The waiter came over upon hearing the news and drove him away in disgust.

Shaodian Sishui's chewing slowed down slightly and he looked up at the men sitting in the elegant seats in front of him.

I saw several people looking outside in surprise, as if they couldn't understand where the girl came from in the middle of the night when there was no village or shop nearby.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she picked up the wine and drank it in big gulps.

"Please be kind enough to give us something to eat, sir!"

The girl continued to beg at the door.

When Shaodian Sishui had almost finished eating and drinking, he picked up the empty wine jug and greeted the waiter.

"Hey man, another pot of roasted meat."

The waiter hurried out with meat and wine.

Shaodian Sishui gave the servant another shell coin.

"Go, call those girls in. It must be hard for them to beg outside in such a cold weather."

The guy was very happy because he got another shell coin, but after hearing her words, he suddenly looked conflicted.

Where did this young nobleman come from? Doesn’t he know that human nature is treacherous?

They had met many of those girls, most of whom were Guifang's Confucian assassins.

In view of the young man's generosity, the waiter reminded her in a low voice out of principle.

"Sir, it's late at night, and there's no village or shop in front of our Yueying Tower. I'm afraid it would be inconvenient if a girl appeared here rashly."

What she said was very clear, and anyone who understands will understand.

Shaodian Sishui hissed and glared at her with frowns.

"I'm giving you money, so you just do the job. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Why don't you bring the person in?"

The guy looked at the bruises on his face and stood up with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

I finally know how he got this injury. It turns out he is ungrateful and deserves to be beaten.

No one knows where this young man came from, and no one knows how he died.

"Well, I'll go right away."

Anyway, she had already reminded them that this young master was asking for trouble and it was not their fault.

After the guy finished speaking, he turned and left.

Shaodian Sishui withdrew her gaze, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the four men at the table in front of her looking at her strangely.

Yue Chemu picked up the drink and saluted him with gentle eyes.

It seems hard to believe that he is so kind and has no guard against others, so I want to make friends with him.

Shaodian Sishui snorted coldly, rolled her eyes at him, and lowered her head to pour the wine with a look of disgust.

Shanrong is just a tiny country and will be destroyed sooner or later. She doesn't want to have anything to do with Yue Chemu.

Provoking Shao Jincong was enough to make her suffer, and she really didn't want to provoke the other male supporting characters unless it was necessary.

Yue Chemu didn't expect that he would be so ruthless and rolled his eyes at him with a proud look on his face.

He was a little curious, wondering which family this young man came from and why his behavior was so strange.

Isn’t it said that the men of the Great Zhou are more well-behaved and live in seclusion for a long time?

He was different from the man he had imagined.

Just when Yue Chemu was curious and absent-minded.

Shaodian Sishui quickly cut his index finger with his thumb and used his inner strength to force a drop of blood into the wine jug.

She picked up the wine jug and shook it slightly, then poured wine again, but her hands were shaking slightly and some wine spilled onto the roasted meat.

Soon the girl outside was brought in by the waiter.

She looked up and saw exactly six people.

Tsk, I don't know what Yan Yingjun said to Yan's family. They must have underestimated her, so they sent six Confucian scholars to assassinate her.

Shaodian Sishui waved to a few people.

"Come, come, come, sit here, eat, drink, and warm yourself up."

She poured wine for several people without leaving any trace.

Several little girls had expressions of gratitude on their faces. They knelt down and kowtowed to her, shouting loudly in unison.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

"Thank you for your kindness!"
