Song Qingtang looked around, turned around, and his eyes fell on another man standing in the shop.
The man was also looking around, and turned his eyes with some emotion.
Song Qingtang frowned, suddenly feeling familiar.
The man was stunned for a moment and said, "General Song Lang?"
"Are you Shen Lie's attendant?" Song Qingtang finally remembered.
"That's right," Du Xuan smiled, clasped his fists and said, "My name is Du Xuan, I have met General Song Lang."
"Why are you here looking for Mrs. Zhao?" Song Qingtang said, "Your young master ordered you to come?"
"Well," Du Xuan nodded, "I'm here to ask about some business matters."
"Oh," Song Qingtang nodded, "I don't think Shen Lie can do business."
Thinking of Shen Lie, Song Qingtang couldn't help but think of the plate of dumplings and the person making them.
Feeling a little tight in his chest, Song Qingtang said, "What about that? Are your young master and that Ah Li very familiar?"
Du Xuan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Song Qingtang to change the subject so quickly.
"No problem, just tell me the truth. I know they know each other," Song Qingtang looked at him, "I just don't know how familiar they are."
Du Xuan smiled and said, "Well, we have known each other before, together with General Song Lang."
Song Qingtang frowned, knowing that the other party was deliberately trying to get around him, so it worked, whoever is afraid of whom.
When Manager Chu came down, two men were talking to each other in the lobby downstairs, going back and forth, doing Tai Chi crazily.
Steward Chu listened for a while in the inner hall, and Steward Chu also frowned.
…
"...I don't know your young master's temperament yet, but I think he is very concerned about Ah Li's affairs."
"Actually, the young master is very upright. He likes to fight against injustice. His temperament is cold on the outside and hot on the inside."
"Is it hot? By the way, let's eat something. It will be cooked once it's warmed up. With the hot temperament, Ah Li must be really familiar with her. How familiar are they?"
"When Song Langjiang met little girl A Li, my young master also met her at that time. Song Langjiang is very familiar with A Li, so does my young master."
"Does your young master like Ah Li?"
"Then little girl Ah Li is cute. Who doesn't like her? I like her too."
"I think your young master's liking is different from yours."
"Same, the young master has a cold temperament."
"Then let's get married. He has a cold nature, but he is very concerned about Ah Li's affairs."
"No, General Song, I told you that my young master is cold on the outside and hot on the inside."
…
I listened to them circle around for a long time, then circle back and then go around again.
Manager Chu shook his head for a while.
However, judging from the tone of their words, it seems that they are all very familiar with Ah Li?
Manager Chu thought for a while, then went back upstairs, intending to ask me if he knew me.
The dagger was very deep. Fortunately, the wound was not fatal, but the bleeding was severe and half of Zhao Ning's robe was stained.
Xia Zhaoyi bandaged her up layer by layer with gauze, but her hands were covered with her blood.
Soaking a towel in hot water, Xia Zhaoyi slowly wiped away the blood stains on the outside of the gauze.
Zhao Ning's skin was covered with scars, large and small, and there were all kinds of wounds. When she just took off her clothes, Xia Zhaoyi was stunned for a while.
Zhao Ning was always awake, even though he was covered in sweat from the pain, he did not make a single cry.
After wiping it with a hot towel, Xia Zhaoyi squeezed out a handful of water and wiped it again.
"Ah Li," Zhao Ning said now, her voice weak, "I've been looking for you for a long time."
"Don't talk yet," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Gather up your strength."
"No need to raise it," Zhao Ning smiled, "It's just a dagger."
Xia Zhaoyi shook his head: "No, the only body in this world that truly belongs to you must be taken good care of."
"Have you seen the wound under my right breast?" Zhao Ning said, "Ah Li, look at it."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at her and saw that her body was very thin and her ribs were very obvious. Xia Zhaoyi didn't know which one she was talking about. There were wounds everywhere.
"They once bitten a piece of meat off my right breast," Zhao Ning sarcastically said. "The two beasts bit it off alive, and then they chewed it in front of me and ate it alive."
Xia Zhaoyi tightened her fingers: "Are they those robbers?"
"Yes," Zhao Ning smiled again, "So sometimes, even your body may not belong to you. It is up to others to decide what they want to do with you."
"Don't think about this," Xia Zhaoyi looked at her, "You are no longer at the mercy of others. The power of your body lies with you."
"I just said it casually," Zhao Ning smiled happily, "I will take care of myself. The person I love most in this world is Zhao Ning."
"That's right." Xia Zhaoyi also smiled.
Manager Chu was stopped outside by Zhi Changle. After waiting for a while, Zhi Changle knocked on the door unhappily: "Ali."
"I'll go take a look." Xia Zhaoyi said, put down the handkerchief and walked to open the door.
Manager Chu was waiting at the door, rubbing his hands because of the cold wind.
When the door opened, a beautiful girl carved in pink and jade raised her head, her eyes as bright as the autumn moon.
"What's the matter?" Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Say it." Zhi Changle said to Manager Chu.
Manager Chu felt depressed for a while, whose territory was this?
Having dealt with account books and various major businesses all year round, Manager Chu has developed the ability to summarize matters in a nutshell. He used a few short sentences to describe the bickering between the two men in the lobby downstairs.
"They're actually here too," Xia Zhaoyi said, thought for a moment, and then said, "Wait a moment."
She went back to her room and whispered beside Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning nodded.
Then Xia Zhaoyi came out and said to Manager Chu, "I'll go down with you."
Song Qingtang grew up in the streets of Beijing. He was pampered by the Cao family and was very lawless. He loved to form gangs and bully others. When it came to being serious and arguing, the donkey energy in his body never failed.
When Xia Zhaoyi went down, he and Du Xuan looked like they could fight for another eight hundred times.
Hearing the noise coming from the inner hall, Song Qingtang and Du Xuan turned to look at each other and were stunned at the same time: "Ah Li?"
The waiter on the side stepped forward depressedly and whispered behind Manager Chu, who nodded.
"Something happened to Zhao Ning," Xia Zhaoyi walked over and said, "Song Qingtang, there are three corpses upstairs. You are half a member of the government. Go and take a look."
"Something happened to Zhao Ning?" Song Qingtang asked in shock, then he noticed the blood on her body and said hurriedly, "Okay, let me go and have a look!"
After saying that, he ran away in large strides.
"So easy to get rid of?" Manager Chu and the waiter asked in surprise as they watched him run away.
"Du Xuan," Xia Zhaoyi raised his hands and cupped his fists, smiling, "Why are you here?"
Du Xuan also subconsciously raised his hand and gave a fist, and then said: "There are some matters in the shop. I came here to look for Mrs. Zhao. Did something happen to her?"
"right."
Du Xuan glanced at Manager Chu over there and lowered his voice: "Ah Li, come with me."
"Huh?" Xia Zhaoyi was confused and followed Du Xuan forward.
