"Where will you pick me up? Back to my inn?" She scanned the pages of the book casually. In fact, some of the miscellaneous notes were quite interesting, and they could let her know a lot about the customs and habits of this world.
Jiang Shang hesitated for a moment, "The inn is not safe. Li Jun has occupied Mocheng. We, the Yue Kingdom and Li Kingdom, allied forces, hoping to repel Li Jun."
When she heard that Wu Guo and Li Guo had formed an alliance, she knew her choice.
"I'm very happy that you can come to save me, but I can't go with you." She made him a cup of tea and handed it to him with both hands, just like she did at the inn.
Jiang Shang blinked in understanding, "Are you worried about Li Guohuafeng? Don't worry, I will put you in our Vietnamese army camp and you will not meet Li Guohua."
She lowered her head and smiled, noncommittal.
Once you go to a place so close to An Yingying and Hua Feng, you can't tell how things will change.
She had a vague feeling that the current development of the plot had deviated from the original main line of the book and had become very wrong. It was probably because she was not dead, which caused the butterfly effect to occur.
I don’t know how powerful the butterfly flapping its wings will be this time, but no matter how the situation changes, Hua Feng and An Yingying must be at the center of the storm vortex. Naturally, the farther away, the better. How can I get close to them?
The truth?
Seeing Jiang Shang's disappointed look and thinking that he was concerned about her, he ventured into Lan Ting's house, and his voice slowed down a lot, "Hua Feng has already recognized me, and I just offended him so hard yesterday.
If I leave him, I'm afraid An Yingying will know I'm here now. If I hadn't met Hua Feng, maybe I would choose to leave with you, but in this case, I will be safer here at Lan Ting."
Jiang Shang said unwillingly, "Why are you so sure that I can't protect you?"
She smiled lightly and reached out to brush the broken hair on her temples and put it behind her ears, "It's not a question of whether I can protect you or not. I just don't want you to be in trouble. You and Li Guo are in the alliance, and An Yingying's father is
I am the Prime Minister of the State of Li, and her husband is the General of the State of Li. She is clamoring for you to hand me over.
It will be difficult for you to make friends or not. It is not what I want to see if I, an insignificant woman, get into trouble with Li Guo.
I'm here with Lan Ting, and he's already going to war with Li State anyway. It's not cost-effective for him to leave me, whether it's to save people's lives or to save face, so I won't go to Wu State. I hope you can understand."
Jiang Shang laughed, "Does this mean that a gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall?"
Judging from his smile, it seemed that he no longer struggled with why Manmei wanted to stay with Lan Ting instead of coming under his protection.
"When the war is over, will you go back with Lan Ting?" Jiang Shang sat opposite her, reached for the tea she handed him, and took a sip.
She refilled the tea for him, "Of course not. I don't know what has become of my inn. It will be renovated when the time comes. I hope Li Jun will not burn down the inn."
"Don't worry, I have sent people to look at the inn. Except that there is no owner, everything else is the same as before. The waiters and your maids have been properly arranged." Jiang Shang was very thoughtful and things were arranged.
They are all appropriate and reassuring.
"Thank you very much. When this matter is over, I will treat you to dinner again." She smiled sincerely, and Jiang Shang could feel her gratitude.
He smiled and nodded, "It's probably going to be soon. It's impossible for the armies of several countries to be stationed here all the time. I'll go find you when the situation stabilizes."
As if he suddenly remembered, he asked, "Will your late-night canteen still be open?"
She didn't expect that he could still remember this, so she thought for a while, "You will probably be the only guest. If you are hungry at night, I will go and make you something to eat, but I have to agree first that what I cook will
There’s no guarantee it’ll be delicious, as long as you’re full.”
"No, what you cook must be delicious." Jiang Shang replied firmly.
She laughed and said, "You are so sure, it puts so much pressure on me. It seems that I have to practice my cooking skills when I return to the inn, so I can't let you down."
"Then I'll wait until you reopen the store." Jiang Shang smiled even more.
After saying this, she brought the tea and said, "See you another day."
Jiang Shang bowed his hands in the Jianghu salute and said, "See you another day."
He turned around, his body was as light as a swallow, and after a few ups and downs, he climbed out of the courtyard wall. His figure was still so handsome, and those who looked at it couldn't help but want to drool.
Jiang Shang walked across the courtyard, and she walked to the courtyard gate, but still could not see his figure.
I took a deep breath and encouraged myself: Manmei, there are still so many people who care about you. You must not let your guard down at the critical moment. You must hold on now!
When she turned around and wanted to go back and continue reading, she was shocked when she turned around and saw Lan Ting sitting in her original position reading the book she was reading.
"Why are you acting like a ghost? Who are you trying to scare to death?"
Lan Ting looked at her aggrievedly, "When Mr. Jiang came, he was so quiet. You just treated him with tea and water. Why did you say I was like a ghost when I came in like this? I treat you anyway.
It’s also infatuation, how can you treat me so differently?”
After thinking about it carefully, this was the case, and my attitude towards him softened unconsciously, "Do you have nothing to do all day long? What are you doing here?"
Lan Ting couldn't laugh or cry, "Do you know how many women are waiting for me to find them every day? If I could care half as much about them as I care about you, they would burst into tears with gratitude."
Manmei gave him an exaggerated sneer, "You know people have a mentality: what you can't get is the best. If I care about your attitude like those women, you can treat me as disdainful as those women.
Take a look.
Another way is like a child, if there is a toy, he may put it in the box for several months without even looking at it, but when other children take a fancy to the toy, he starts to treasure it.
Firstly, I don't care about you, and secondly, because Jiang Shang is willing to help me, you think I am worthy of your favor. If I care about you very much and Jiang Shang doesn't even look at me, you will think that I am nothing more than this."
Lan Ting touched his smooth chin, looked at her, and nodded sincerely, "What you said makes sense. I thought about it and found that this is indeed my style."
She was a little surprised that this guy was so honest. She thought he would quibble and deny, but she didn't expect him to admit it so simply.
I just had a good impression of him, but it was quickly destroyed by his actions.
Lan Ting came closer with a playful smile, and his restless paws began to move around, "So, if you want to tell me that I have no interest in you, it's very simple. If you care about me, think of me all the time, and do everything.
If you stick to me, I will soon lose interest in you. Maybe after the war, you can go back and open an inn."
He continued to snort a few words, didn't bother to say anything anymore, just rolled his eyes and went back to his room to sleep.
He turned around and entered the room, turned over and closed the door. No matter how Lan Ting pretended to be outside, he didn't really want to deal with his behavior.
Who is Lan Ting? She stretched out her hand and stuck it in the door. With her little strength, it was impossible to close the door under Lan Ting's force.
He squeezed into the room with a smile and hugged her waist, "Look how nice I am, I didn't even bother to deal with Jiang Shang when he came, just because I didn't want to make you sad."
