Chapter 129: Ambush at the Baozi Shop
"What?" Qingqing looked curious. The number of books this kid had read could probably be counted on one hand, but he actually knew what the saints said?
"It's not clean, but you won't get sick if you eat it." After Qing Yi said that, he strode into the bun shop.
"This... which saint said this?" He turned his head slightly to look at his master. His master had no expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was trying to hold back a smile. Then he followed Qing Yi inside.
Seeing this, Qingqing sighed helplessly and had to follow in, while Qingfeng walked silently at the end.
"Boss, give me two baskets of buns first." Qing Yi ordered casually.
Soon, the buns were served. While Qingqing was still wondering if they were clean, Qingyi couldn't wait to pick one up and take a big bite. He instantly stuck out his tongue from the heat, but he still mumbled praise, "Hmm, it tastes really good!"
"Xiao Ye, try this! The filling is so delicious!" Qing Yi said, passing the bun he had taken a bite of to Ye Qingyu. Ye Qingyu tilted her head and cleverly dodged it. How could he be so intimate with Qing Yi in public, especially when the diners around were all glancing at them out of the corner of their eyes?
"Do you want to eat it, Qingqing?" Qingyi handed the bun he had bitten to Qingqing again.
She was slightly stunned, and cursed in her heart: Is this kid crazy? She couldn't help but look at Qing Yi, only to see Qing Yi blink at her. Although she didn't understand what medicine this kid was selling in the gourd, she decided to cooperate.
"Is there any porridge? I don't like buns." She said Qingqing deliberately raising her voice.
"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, girl." The bun shop owner responded quickly and turned around to prepare the porridge.
After a while, the porridge arrived. Qing Yi had already eaten two buns, while the other three hadn't touched their chopsticks yet.
"Ugh, I'm choking. Hurry up and serve me a bowl of porridge." Qingqing wanted to serve a bowl of porridge to her master, but as soon as she reached out her hand, Qingyi took it and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hey!" Qingqing immediately refused to listen. Why was this brat stealing the master's food?
"What a nice smell!" Qing Yi said, and suddenly fell headfirst. However, he didn't fall to the ground, but happened to fall on Ye Qingyu.
"Qing Yi?" Ye Qingyu had no choice but to hold Qing Yi. Seeing this, Qingqing's face changed with fear. She hurriedly took Qing Yi's pulse, but found that his pulse was steady and strong, without any abnormality.
Qingfeng quickly glanced around, flew up, and blocked the door steadily.
The diners who were still busy eating buns took out weapons from under the table and rushed towards Ye Qingyu and the others.
"Ouch, we're under siege!" Qingqing finally reacted and thought to herself: Could it be that Qingyi and the others had already noticed something was wrong?
Qing Yi no longer pretended. He stood up from Ye Qingyu and, in a flash, joined the fight. Qing Feng, like a door god, blocked the doorway, refusing to let any enemy escape.
Seeing this, Qingqing took the opportunity to stretch her muscles and joined the battle without hesitation. Ye Qingyu moved and ran straight towards the owner of the bun shop.
These people were no match for the four of them. In a blink of an eye, they were beaten to the ground. They wanted to run but couldn't. In the end, they were all hit by Qingyi and Qingfeng and could not move.
"Who are you? Why are you setting an ambush here?" Qing Yi looked at the shop owner and asked coldly.
"Kill your people!" the shop owner said gritting his teeth, his eyes full of hatred.
"What grudge do we have against you?" Qing Yi frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the shop owner.
"You killed my brother Xu Shu!" The shop owner's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Who is Xu Shu?" Qing Yi blinked, his eyes moving back and forth between Ye Qingyu and Qingfeng, as if asking: Who of you knows this person?
"Hey, we don't even know the person you're talking about! Maybe you've found the wrong enemy!" Qing Yi saw Ye Qingyu shaking his head slightly, turned to the shop owner and said.
"How could it be wrong? There are three men and one woman, led by a man in white." The shop owner asked with his eyes wide open.
"Uh..., but who is Xu Shu?" Qing Yi glanced at Ye Qingyu who was wearing a white shirt. There were indeed three men and one woman, and the leader was the man in white.
"My brother Xu Shuyuan worked as a security guard in Xue's mansion in the capital. I never expected that he would be killed by you!" The shop owner was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"The Xue family's guards?" Qing Yi turned to look at Ye Qingyu upon hearing this, thinking to himself: Could they be the two people killed by Chen Yan at the Xue family villa?
"Hey! What does your brother look like? Who told you that we killed him?" Qing Yi stared at the shop owner with sharp eyes.
"My brother is usually an honest man, never bullying others, yet he suffered a tragic accident! Someone saw it with their own eyes and told me personally."
"Who said that?" This was strange. No one else was present that day. How could anyone know about it except Emperor Chu, Chen Yan, Xiao Ye, and me? If they knew, why would they frame Xiao Ye when it was clearly Chen Yan who killed the person on Emperor Chu's orders?
"It's a pity that we are not skilled enough to kill you. You can kill us or chop us up as you please! No need to ask any more questions!" The shop owner is a tough guy with a very straightforward temper.
"What's your name?" Qing Yi asked.
"I will never change my name, and my surname will never change. It's Xu Hua." The shop owner held his head high and chest out, showing no fear at all.
"Xu Hua, it seems that you are a brave man who is not afraid of death. What about them? Do you know who was ambushed and killed here? To be honest with you, this man in white is the Northwestern Prince of Da Chu. Just think about it, how can you survive?" Qing Yi had already figured out the shop owner's temper and began to think about how to pry open this man's mouth.
"The Little Prince of the Northwest? How is that possible?" The shop owner couldn't believe it.
"Brother, we are not afraid of death. We brothers share the hard times and the happiness."
"Hahahaha, don't talk about sharing happiness, you should just share the difficulties! I'm afraid it's not just you, your wives, children, and the elderly will all have a hard time living!" Qing Yi raised his lips with a sly smile.
"Everyone has his own actions and responsibilities. This incident was caused by me and has nothing to do with them!" The shop owner looked at his brothers and felt a little regretful. He had been impulsive and called them together. Who knew that the person to be assassinated was the young prince of the Northwest? This was a serious matter of confiscating the property and destroying the entire family. Wasn't he pushing his brothers into the fire pit?
