Chapter 201 Flying to and fro

"Squeak—"

The sound came from somewhere, and when I looked up, I saw a bamboo basket falling from the sky!

With a loud bang, the bamboo basket crashed heavily at his feet!

The mud that was originally meant for repairing the roof splashed out and splattered all over Zhuang Shuyang!

Coachman: !

"grown ups!"

The driver was startled and quickly stepped forward to wipe him clean.

The original few marks were wiped away, but with this wipe, a large area was covered!

"Enough!"

Zhuang Shuyang almost lost his composure and burst into a tirade of curses.

"Help! What's going on? Why is this thing falling down?!"

The driver shouted loudly.

At this moment, the shopkeeper of the clothing store rushed over.

Seeing this scene, I was so frightened that I shuddered.

"Oh dear! My lord, spare my life! This humble subject... this humble subject will send a craftsman to repair the roof!"

"I don't know why... sir, perhaps I should take these clothes to be washed?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly tried to make up for the shortfall.

"I have to meet a very important person later, and you've made such a mess of things. How am I supposed to meet him?"

Thinking about how disheveled he would be when he met people, Zhuang Shuyang's tone became a bit harsher.

"If you don't mind, sir, how about we change into some clothes at my humble shop? Don't worry, sir, this is my compensation to you, not a bribe!"

The shopkeeper raised his hand and swore an oath.

Seeing that there was no time to go back home to change clothes, and that she couldn't go to see people in such a dirty state.

Zhuang Shuyang had no choice but to settle for second best.

"Alright, it doesn't need to be too expensive, something similar to this will do. I'm in a hurry."

"Alright! Please come in with me, sir! Someone! Quickly, help the sir pick out a few elegant pieces of clothing, hurry!"

Seeing the shopkeeper bowing and scraping, a hint of arrogance flashed in Zhuang Shuyang's pretentious eyes for a moment.

The innkeeper led him to the backyard. "Sir, please change your dirty clothes in this private room. Your new clothes will be here shortly!"

The room was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood incense, which was quite pleasant.

Zhuang Shuyang nodded slightly and stepped inside.

He stood behind the screen, took off his dirty clothes, and draped them over the screen.

"Knock knock!"

"My lord, I have brought you a change of clothes."

"Come in."

The shopkeeper led several employees in and presented him with several pieces of clothing to choose from.

This clothing store must have some skill to be able to open on the main street.

Zhuang Shuyang glanced around and found that the clothes were indeed very well made.

He was focused on what was in front of him, but he overlooked the huge figure moving on the screen.

Yun Zhao, with the tiger in tow, sneaked in behind the waiter.

She saw the clothes draped on the screen and immediately pointed them out to the tiger to sniff.

The shopkeeper watched Zhuang Shuyang make his selections with a smile, then swayed and walked behind him.

The shopkeeper turned around and saw Yun Zhao waving from behind the screen.

He then took the initiative to ask, "Sir, is there anything you like?"

"Hmm, let's go with this crescent white one."

Zhuang Shuyang had his eye on this set for a while, but since the material looked more expensive, he deliberately delayed a bit.

"Sir, you have excellent taste. The rest of you may leave!"

The shopkeeper waved his hand, and the others took the clothes and went out.

Yun Zhao quickly followed with the tiger and darted away in a flash.

The carriage was already waiting in the back alley, and Yun Zhao quickly led the tiger back into the carriage.

"Well, Flower, did you remember his scent?"

Yun Zhao looked at it with a look of surprise and delight.

"Is it ready? Great, let's go!"

After hearing her words, Wei Jingchen knocked on the side of the carriage, signaling to Chen Wenliang outside that he could leave.

"Let's go, let's take a detour to the Zhuang residence and take a look!"

Chen Wenliang gave the driver a word and then climbed into the carriage himself.

"Is everything taken care of?"

He looked at the tiger, which occupied half of the carriage, with some unease.

"Hua Hua said it remembered, so there's definitely no problem!"

Yun Zhao nodded.

“Indeed, Hua Hua has never failed in finding someone before.”

Wei Jingchen chimed in.

"Haha, this is truly amazing! This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it!"

"I'll show you Hua Hua's skills in finding people later!"

Yun Zhao proudly raised his head and patted his chest.

"Ooh~"

The tiger cub in her arms whimpered and snuggled closer to her.

Chen Wenliang suddenly became curious.

"Miss Yun Zhao, this big tiger is called Hua Hua, but what about the cub?"

Yun Zhao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that the green snake and the tigress both had names, but the cubs did not.

"How about calling him Xiao Wang?"

Wei Jingchen, Chen Wenliang: ...

Isn't this a bit too casual?

"Actually, the name is secondary. The important thing is that it's easy to remember and doesn't sound scary!"

Yun Zhao chuckled.

"Even if it's called Softie, it doesn't change the fact that it's scary, right?"

Chen Wenliang pursed his lips, suppressing a laugh.

"Actually, Huahua and Xiao Wang are both very well-behaved, oh, and Xiaoqing is especially well-behaved too!"

Yun Zhao subconsciously touched his wrist, trying to soothe the green snake on it through his sleeve.

"Who is Xiaoqing?"

Looking at her posture, Chen Wenliang subconsciously tried to guess what was on her wrist.

Yun Zhao blinked innocently, unsure whether he should speak.

Wei Jingchen coughed lightly: "Uncle Chen, I think you'd better not ask."

After all, not many people can accept snakes as an animal.

Seeing that the two didn't want to talk, Chen Wenliang suddenly didn't want to know anymore.

"Haha, the weather is nice today!"

Chen Wenliang awkwardly changed the subject.

Seeing his expression, Yun Zhao changed the subject.

"Brother Jingchen, it's broad daylight, how are we going to get in?"

"How about I go back to the branch office and find one of the brothers who's good at light footwork to go in and scout ahead first?"

Chen Wenliang suggested.

"No need, I can manage on my own."

Although Wei Jingchen's martial arts skills were not top-notch, his lightness skills were exceptional.

you?

Chen Wenliang almost blurted it out, but quickly swallowed his words back.

He subtly reminded him, "If Zhuang Shuyang dares to do something like this, the guards in his residence must not be very lax."

"Don't worry, Uncle Chen, Brother Jingchen is amazing. He often carries Zhaozhao in his arms."

They flew around so fast, and nobody noticed us!

Yun Zhao waved his hand back and forth, making a flying motion.

Seeing her innocent and carefree demeanor, Chen Wenliang couldn't help but tease her.

"Really? When Miss Yun Zhao was flying around, was she ever afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, Zhao Zhao! Zhao Zhao is a big kid!"

Yun Zhao nodded solemnly.

The fact that Wei Jingchen could use his lightness skill to carry people without being detected shows that his lightness skill is much better than he had imagined.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Wei."

Although Chen Wenliang was the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), he didn't consider his lightness skill to be very good.

He thought that children wouldn't lie, and since Yun Zhao had said so, he would believe him this time.

The carriage soon arrived near the Zhuang residence. The coachman whispered outside, "Everything seems normal at the Zhuang residence. Chief镖头, what's the next step?"

"Go to the backyard and find a quiet place."

"yes!"

Although Zhuang Shuyang was a prefect, he was an honest official, and his residence was not located in a bustling area.

Once you get to the backyard, it becomes even more secluded.

Wei Jingchen slightly pulled back a corner of the curtain and saw that there was no one guarding the back gate of the Zhuang mansion.

"Why is no one guarding it?"

From the outside, apart from the guards at the front gate, the entire Zhuang mansion looked no different from an ordinary person's residence.

"Our people came back and said that the Zhuang mansion looks like an ordinary three-courtyard house from the outside, and it does look like an honest official's residence, but there is a lot more to it than meets the eye inside!"

Why do you say that?

Now Yun Zhao was also curious.
