500 Mighty and Domineering Little Sly Jiang
The shopkeeper stared intently.
That madam had a thin figure. She was wearing a light purple wide-sleeved dress and a veil and bamboo hat. She looked weak. She panted three times with every step she took. The shopkeeper saw that she was walking slowly and was anxious for her, afraid that the wind outside would blow her away.
“Ahem.” When she brushed past the shopkeeper, this madam coughed weakly. The shopkeeper almost instinctively made way. “Madam, please!” He was so afraid that he would identally bump into her and kill her.
“Thank you.” Madam Jiang thanked him sickly and crossed the threshold with the help of her husband, Yu Shaoqing, into the inn.
The Yui Inn was indeed thergest inn in Qinghe Town. At least the area was reliable. The furnishings inside aren’t real. Fortunately, they were all vigers who were used to tough days and were not picky about this. It was also because Yu Shaoqing could not bear to see his wife suffer that he always chose a big inn to stay in.
“Be careful,” Yu Shaoqing reminded his wife.
Madam Jiang smiled gently and walked up the stairs.
There was only one Heaven Room in the inn. It had already been given to the twin brothers just now. The shopkeeper provided the couple with an Earth Room, which was opposite the Heaven Room.
“Sir, this is the best room in our inn. It’s been hard on the two of you. I’ll prepare some food and wine for you now!” Since he had made up his mind to turn over a new leaf, he had to look like he had turned over a new leaf. For example, he had to seriously do every business.
Yu Shaoqing said seriously, “There’s no need for wine. Make some of your signature dishes and send them over. Don’t add garlic. My wife doesn’t eat garlic.”
The shopkeeper replied with a smile, “Yes, I’ll make the arrangements now! I will be downstairs. If there’s anything you need, feel free to instruct me!”
Yu Shaoqing nodded and helped his wife into the room.
The shopkeeper went downstairs to the kitchen to instruct the dishes to be cooked. Just as he finished instructing, he realized that he had yet to serve the guests in the Heaven Room.
I really neglected my duty when I agreed to be a righteous shopkeeper. A strong sense of guilt surged in the shopkeeper’s heart. He personally went upstairs and knocked on the door of the Heaven Room. “I’m the shopkeeper of the inn. I want to ask if the two young masters want to eat anything tonight. Our small shop has roasted goose, salted chicken, braised duck, braised pork belly…”
He listed twenty-seven or twenty-eight dishes in one go. Without waiting for a reaction, he continued, “It’s fine if Young Master doesn’t want to eat the food from the shop. We have many specialties in town. Young Master, feel free to tell me what you want to eat. I’ll buy it for you!” I’m at least a qualified shopkeeper!
However, there was no response from the room for a long time. The shopkeeper looked at the sky. It was still early. They shouldn’t be sleeping… and sleeping on an empty stomach, right? The shopkeeper continued to knock on the door. “Young Master, Young Master, Young—”
Creak—
The door was pulled open from the inside. The younger brother’s cold face appeared in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was first stunned by his murderous gaze, then he smiled and said, “Young Master, are you having dinner?”
As his negligence had made the other party hungry, in order to apologize, the shopkeeper expressed that this meal was on him. After the meal, the shopkeeper eagerly served tea and water to the two of them, serving them well.
After the shopkeeper finally rolled back into the room to rest, the younger brother inserted thetch. The younger brother took a pigeon from the box, untied the note tied to one of its feet, and read it carefully.
Ordinary pigeons could only return to the farm, but the pigeons trained by the Queen knew how to track their aura. Just now, this pigeon had arrived, but it was interrupted by the shopkeeper time and time again, making them only see the Queen’s instructions now.
“What did Her Highness say?” The younger brother asked.
The older brother said, “Her Highness asked where we are and asked us to infiltrate the Great Zhou as soon as possible. First, we’ll capture a few of Princely Heir Yan’s trusted aides in Yan City and interrogate them about Princely Heir Yan’s whereabouts.”
“It’s not difficult,” said the younger brother.
Yan City was not far away, it’s just south of the Great Zhou. It was a day and night away from Qinghe Town.
The younger brother said, “We only need to find his whereabouts and we can return to the Capital to report to Her Highness.”
“That’s right.” The older brother nodded. “Her Highness also instructed that no mistakes are allowed in this matter. If we encounter anyone suspicious, they will be killed without mercy.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door again.
“It’s me!” The shopkeeper said. “I saw that the two young masters had worked hard on the journey, so I specially boiled hot water for you.”
The two of them tacitly exchanged nces. The younger brother gripped the dagger in his hand tightly. He went to open the door, and the shopkeeper carried the wooden bucket in with a smile and walked out.
Coincidentally, the door opposite opened. Yu Shaoqing said to the shopkeeper, “May I know if there’s any candy sold here?”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, “Go east. If you keep walking, you’ll see that it’s quite a big shop! Fine, fine, I’ll bring you there!”
“Thank you, Shopkeeper.” Yu Shaoqing closed the door and went downstairs with the shopkeeper.
The younger brother gripped the dagger in his hand tightly and coldly closed the door. Not long after Yu Shaoqing and the shopkeeper left, Madam Jiang quietly opened the door. Actually, she didn’t want to eat candy. She wanted to slip into the kitchen to eat meat, fat streaky pork with extra green onions and garlic!
Slurp!
As soon as Madam Jiang left the room, an unusualmotion came from the Heaven Room. She walked over without batting an eyelid and pressed her ear to the door. The conversation inside could be heard clearly.
“Brother, keep your voice down. I suspect she’s eavesdropping.”
Ah! She was discovered just like that?
“So what if she heard us? What can she do to us with her immature appearance? Brother, you’re too careful.”
Little Sly Jiang looked at her hands and showed off her biceps.
“One can’t be too careful. Besides, I suspect that she’s not as simple as she looks. She should have disguised her identity.”
Little Sly Jiang widened her almond-shaped eyes.
“So she’s suspicious?”
“She’s not the only one. Herpanions are equally suspicious.”
“Then I’ll kill them!”
ng! The door was kicked open.
“Who are you going to kill?!”
The twins trembled and looked towards the door in unison. However, before they could even see the other party’s face clearly, a pair of strong hands grabbed their throats.
They were all top-notch experts, and the older brother was a golden-masked sacrificial soldier with deep internal energy. With one punch, he could shatter a stone mountain. They were as heavy and strong as brown bears, but that fair hand easily pinched them as if it was pinching two weightless little dumb chickens.
The little dumb chickens were ruthlessly thrown against the wall.
“Let me ask you again, who do you want to kill?”
The two of them were stunned. They could hardly believe it. The two of them were thrown to the ground!
Smack! Smack! Smack!
A few ps were bombarded on their faces.
“Aren’t you going to say it!”
Just as the two of them were about to speak, another p came. They tried to speak again, but another p came.
“Are you going to say it or not?!”
Damn it… Stop beating me. Let me talk…
The golden-masked sacrificial soldier and supreme scout of the Queen Manor were beaten heavily. When they woke up from the pain, they were pped unconscious again. In the end, the two of them were only left with theirst breaths. Their older brother finally seized the opportunity to speak. “We… we… are talking about… killing the shopkeeper…” With that, he stopped breathing.
Little Sly Jiang, who realized that she had beaten the wrong person again: “…”
“Ahem ahem ahem.” The irritable Little King Kong turned back into a sickly weak beauty in a second. She held a handkerchief in one hand and held her heart in the other. She said to the younger brother, who was still half-dead, “Let me help you to bed to rest.”
It would have been fine if she hadn’t helped him up. But once she did, the younger brother, who had been traumatized, was scared out of his wits. His head tilted and he died!
Little Sly Jiang: Boo~
The Queen, who was far away in the Capital, still did not know that the spies she had sent out had already been killed, and they had even been killed for no reason. The spies she had sent out were the top experts of the Queen Manor. They would definitely be able to bring her news of the heir of Yan City and could also capture a few trusted aides. This way, she could go to the Helian Manor to confront them without fail.
Because they had to hurry, Yu Shaoqing woke up before dawn. Madam Jiang was also awake. Yu Shaoqing said to her, “Sleep for a while more. I’ll call you when I’m done.”
Along the way, Madam Jiang was mainly responsible for buying, eating, and sleeping. All the big and small work belonged to Yu Shaoqing.
Yu Shaoqing packed his bag and realized that his money had been used up. “I heard that there’s an escort agency in Qinghe Town that can escort you to the West City. I’ll go try my luck. Wait for me here.”
Madam Jiang nodded docilely. Yu Shaoqing went to the escort agency. The shopkeeper was snoring on the counter. Suddenly, he felt a gloomy cold wind blowing over, making him shiver and wake up from his sleep. He opened his eyes and saw a veiled madam standing sinisterly in front of him.
He was still dizzy and did not recognize the other party for a while. He rubbed his eyes and said in a daze, “It’s the middle of the night. What are you doing?”
Little Sly Jiang showed her dagger. “Robbery!”
The shopkeeper: “…!!”
