I heard in the previous life that the strange woman was called Situ Yunqing, but Xu Zimo had not met her at that time and only heard about it occasionally in other people's chats.
Speaking of which, Xu Zimo's previous life was a bit dramatic. In the early days of his previous life, as the crown prince of the entire Zhenwu Holy Sect, he could be said to be a character that everyone wanted to kneel down and lick.
But later he was shot down by Chu Yang in the Youlong Stream, and his father retired to the mountains and forests overnight.
Without the support of Zhenwu Shengzong, Xu Zimo's identity suddenly fell into the clouds, and those people he never cared about later began to be beyond his reach.
Xu Zimo had wanted to establish his own power before, but Shili Changkong was too busy for one person.
And in what way the power will exist, these are issues that Xu Zimo should consider.
If the power is hidden in secret, Xu Zimo cannot always pay for so many people's daily consumption.
Xu Zimo imagined putting his power on the map and appearing in the form of a restaurant.
In this case, the forces can be self-sufficient, and the restaurant is one of the best channels for obtaining information.
Many people will talk about some major events that happened recently while eating and drinking.
Xu Zimo does not need the founding forces to provide him with any secret information, but he also needs to know information about some remote areas as soon as possible.
If the Situ Yunqing in front of her is the same person she heard about in her previous life, then she has the ability to manage power for Xu Zimo.
Xu Zimo was thinking about how to lure the other party over, and do so willingly.
…………
"Zhouque City is ahead. Let's go to the city to rest for a night," Xu Zimo suggested.
Everyone nodded, and then Xu Zimo jumped onto the carriage and walked into the carriage. Several people present were stunned.
Xiao Guizi on the side reacted instantly and said to Situ Yunqing: "Why are you so stunned? Why don't you go up and accompany our senior brother?"
Situ Yunqing glanced at a few people, and then walked into the carriage silently.
The maid on the side wanted to say something, but after looking at Lin Ruhu's fierce eyes, she quickly stepped aside.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and there was a faint fragrance in the carriage. Xu Zimo rested his head on Situ Yunqing's lap, then closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
Zhouque City is looming in the distance, lying quietly on the ground like a giant steel beast.
Situ Yunqing looked at the sleeping Xu Zimo quietly, her long eyelashes trembling.
Xu Zimo is not the type with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes that make people's hearts flutter at a glance.
But he is the kind of person who feels more and more the more you look at him. He has a naughty smile and gives people the feeling of a bad boy.
Situ Yunqing pursed her lips, stretched out her right hand, and gently poked Xu Zimo's face with her index finger, and then for some reason, she suddenly smiled knowingly.
"Do you want me to have an in-depth discussion with you?" Xu Zimo suddenly opened his eyes and asked calmly.
Situ Yunqing was startled, her face instantly turned crimson, and she lowered her head and said nothing.
"If you ask me, don't go back to Situ's house. I happen to be short of a bed-warming maid," Xu Zimo said casually.
"Thank you for your consideration, Master. It's a pity that Yun Qing doesn't have this blessing," Situ Yunqing adjusted his mood and replied calmly.
"You don't have to refuse so quickly," Xu Zimo said with a smile: "Do you think the Situ family will welcome you?"
"What do you mean, sir?" Situ Yunqing asked hesitantly.
"Do you really think this robbery was just an accident?" Xu Zimo asked inexplicably.
Situ Yunqing's expression changed. She was talented and intelligent, so she naturally thought of the worst outcome.
The struggle for power among big families is particularly cruel. If the Situ family recognizes the identity of Situ Yunqing, the illegitimate daughter, then she will naturally have a share of the Situ family's property in the future.
She can even compete for the future heir of the family head.
No one wants to have another competitor appear out of thin air, so many people in the Situ family are definitely not willing to see Situ Yunqing's arrival.
…………
"If you don't believe it, let's take a gamble," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
"What are you betting on?" Situ Yunqing asked curiously.
"After we enter Zhouque City, someone will definitely come to trouble us," Xu Zimo said, "Because I ruined their plan, we must be under the surveillance of others even now."
"I don't bet," Situ Yunqing shook her head, because she herself agreed with Xu Zimo's statement.
"It's boring," Xu Zimo yawned, stretched, then squeezed his head into Situ Yunqing's arms and fell asleep again.
As we got closer to Zhouque City, more and more people began to gather around us, and the carriage drove slowly into the city.
The central street paved with green granite is also very lively at this time, with people coming and going, and steaming snacks are hawking on both sides of the street, exuding an alluring fragrance.
"My father has sent someone to pick me up. It's time for me to leave," Situ Yunqing woke up the sleeping Xu Zimo and said softly.
At this time, in front of the carriage, stood a group of soldiers wearing cyan leather armor. The leader was an old man with a red face.
"Miss Yunqing, my surname is Tian, I am the guard beside the master. The master asked me to pick you up," the old man said in a kind tone.
"Excuse me, Uncle Tian," Situ Yunqing nodded.
Looking at Xu Zimo coming out of the carriage, Tian Bo's eyes narrowed slightly and asked: "Is this Miss Yunqing's friend?"
"You guys are talking about your business, I'm just a soy sauce guy," Xu Zimo waved his hand and said to Lin Ruhu and the other two, "Let's go find an inn first."
Situ Yunqing originally wanted to invite Xu Zimo to live at Situ's house, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
After all, she couldn't protect herself, and she didn't know how the Situ family would react to her arrival.
……………
"Linjiang Restaurant," Xu Zimo looked at the plaque in front of him and said, "This is the restaurant."
The three of them walked into the restaurant. Xiao Guizi threw the money bag around her waist on the table with a clang, and shouted: "Sir, do you still have a room?"
The shopkeeper of the restaurant, wearing a hat and a mustache, hurriedly came up to us and said with a smile: "There are many guest rooms. I wonder which ones the guests want?"
"I want three rooms facing the street, with good ventilation from the north and south, and rooms where I can see the sunrise and sunset," Xiao Guizi held out three fingers and said.
"Okay, will the guests eat in the room or downstairs?" the shopkeeper asked diligently.
"Just stay downstairs, in case there is a fight later and the room becomes difficult to clean," Xu Zimo said without any clue.
The shopkeeper had a puzzled look on his face, but he didn't ask any more questions and went to prepare the food.
Xu Zimo and others ordered a bottle of wine, and while they were drinking, they saw three men walking out.
