The three of them chose a local restaurant famous for its mutton and asked for a private room on the second floor.
The private room on the second floor is close to the window. When you open the window, you can see people walking on the street. From inside, you can also see the guests dining on the first floor.
Before Su Qi could speak, Ke Suanzi sat down skillfully and said to the waiter with a smile:
"I'm not short of money this time, so don't fool me."
The waiter grinned at Gu Beiheng, who was dressed like a wealthy man, and said, "Just give me your orders, sir. We never cheat anyone in our store."
Although there was a familiar old beggar, the two people accompanying him were both wearing high-quality fur coats.
Even if you take it to a pawnshop, you'll have to exchange it for a few taels of silver.
Ke Suanzi pinched his nose, unwilling to accept it, and dusted off his clothes with his hands.
"Give me a plate of crispy duck tongues and ten charcoal-grilled lamb kidneys. And don't let me rip off the fat around the lamb kidneys." Ke Suanzi said to himself, "Give me five pounds of braised beef in soy sauce and three bowls of lamb noodles."
Ke Suanzi narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Qi, "My dear apprentice, please add a few more dishes."
Su Qi asked the waiter for the menu.
Wow, it’s all meat.
Finally, Su Qi added some mutton soup and ordered five naan breads that the locals eat.
When Ke Suanzi saw Su Qi and Gu Beiheng asking the waiter to serve the dishes, his eyes widened as big as copper bells.
"Is that all?"
After all, he was a disciple recruited halfway through his career and didn't understand his inner needs.
Ke Suanzi was very sad.
"Master, is it not enough? I think it's almost enough. How about adding two more pounds of meat?" The rich version of Su Qi came online.
The appearance of having no shortage of money and eating casually is very attractive.
Ke Suanzi shook his head and squinted his eyes and said:
"Forget the meat. Could you give me two pounds of good wine?"
The waiter stopped at the door and laughed loudly, "Sir, we have a new Northwest wine, the Donkey."
Ke Suanzi nodded: "Two pounds, please."
I was so drunk that I almost passed out. This wine is definitely delicious.
The three of them sat on the second floor, drinking wine and eating meat. Gu Beiheng's ears trembled slightly, listening carefully to the movement coming from downstairs.
Keep your eyes on the passers-by outside the window.
"This leg of lamb is only enough for an old man like me to eat. You young people don't need to eat it." Ke Suanzi was unsure about the silver on Su Qi.
Move the lamb leg to your side first.
Su Qi smiled indifferently.
"Another roast leg of lamb."
"Waiter, give me another roasted leg of lamb." Ke Suanzi laughed and picked up the leg of lamb with both hands and started chewing it until his mouth was full of oil.
The waiter shouted downstairs:
"Another roasted leg of lamb in private room number 2."
Gu Beiheng picked up a piece of braised beef and gave it to Su Qi, and whispered:
"The mutton noodles are good. If you can't eat anymore, give me some. You can have some braised beef with soy sauce." He glanced out the window inadvertently and suddenly froze.
Gu Beiheng squinted his eyes and looked at the person who was walking hurriedly on the street. Before the person looked up, he looked away.
Dongfang Mo walked on the street for a while and smelled the scent of strong liquor.
I walked towards the mutton restaurant unconsciously.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt like someone upstairs was staring at him. That look was malicious and filled with hatred.
When I looked up, I saw an old beggar, who was holding a leg of lamb and chewing it with his mouth full of oil, looking at me.
Look into his eyes.
The old beggar held up the leg of lamb in his hand, smiled, and started chewing it again.
He hurried into the mutton restaurant.
I found a seat downstairs and ordered a roasted lamb leg and five naan.
I ordered another pot of wine.
Gu Beiheng clenched his bony hands into fists, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Dongfang Mo.
"Husband, do you know this man?" Su Qi did not call Gu Beiheng's name.
Gu Beiheng suppressed his voice and said, "Yeah. An old acquaintance. Qiqi, I suspect that Yingyi and the others' disappearance has something to do with him."
Ke Suanzi burped and poured the wine in the glass into his mouth. Squinting his eyes, he picked up a piece of beef and chewed it carefully. "This guy has been appearing in the border town frequently in the past few months.
Sometimes he was accompanied by people from the Dashun Kingdom, and sometimes he was accompanied by a doctor. Speaking of that doctor, Ke Suanzi always felt that he looked familiar.
Even the disgusting smell on his body was familiar.
Su Qilian drank a bowl of mutton soup and put down the bowl in his hand. "Husband, let's keep an eye on this man first."
When Dongfang Mo left, Su Qi and the other two did not follow him.
On the roof, Feiying, who was steaming all over after taking a sip of wine, stared at Dongfang Mo on the road and rushed into the air.
A plain-looking Dalmatian followed behind.
Su Qi called the waiter to settle the bill.
The three of them walked out of the mutton restaurant slowly.
The owner of the mutton restaurant looked up from behind the counter and asked:
"Have you found out about these two unfamiliar faces?"
Someone nearby laughed and said:
"The old beggar disappears for a while and then looks for some fat sheep. I guess these two have some money."
The waiter threw the white towel from his arm over his shoulder and said, "Boss, these two people were tricked by the old beggar and came here. They were so stupid that they accepted him as their master."
When the person at the counter heard this, he remained silent.
After thinking about it, he decided to send someone to follow Su Qi and the other two.
Out of town.
Gu Beiheng and Ke Suanzi both discovered that they were being followed.
"Master. There are a few rats. Shall we get rid of them?" Gu Beiheng unbuttoned his large coat and covered Su Qi.
He walked with his arm around Su Qi's shoulders.
Ke Suanzi took a breath through his wine-red nose.
Ma Dan.
I finally got a disciple, but now these people have messed things up. If you want to bully his disciple, have you asked him?
Do you really think he is a soft persimmon that can be squeezed whenever you want?
"No rush. Let's talk about it when we get to Wuli Bridge ahead."
Ke Suanzi rubbed his red nose from the cold and tucked his hands into his sleeves even tighter.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng always felt that there was an invisible net spreading out, and all these people seemed to be manipulated by the person behind the scenes.
Both of them felt a sense of urgency.
Cultivate power.
Make more money.
Once something happens, it will cost a lot of money.
With the silver and food in their space, there will naturally be no problem for their family.
But Su Qi knew that Gu Beiheng still had the Northwest Army, and he had always been thinking about them. This time, the Northwest Army's military advisor Mo and several deputy generals were still alive, and no one knew what the future would hold.
Walk east after leaving the town.
After passing a village, an arch bridge appeared. On it stood a wooden sign that read "Wuli Bridge".
Two children were having a stone skipping competition on a bridge.
Ke Suanzi rubbed his nose and glanced back with displeasure. The people behind him immediately pretended to be passers-by, pointing at the crops in the field and talking nonsense.
"Little brat, go home quickly."
Ke Suanzi poked the two boys, about six or seven years old, in annoyance.
One of them saw Ke Suanzi's fierce look and opened his mouth as if he was about to cry.
Su Qi stepped forward and stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth. The little boy seemed to have pressed the pause button. The tears in his eyes were also held back, and he quickly closed his mouth.
Su Qi gave another candy to another envious little boy.
"The sun is setting. Let's go home quickly."
Su Qi smiled and patted the two little guys' heads. They nodded in unison with stars in their eyes:
"Thank you, pretty auntie."
Then the two of them snorted at Ke Suanzi together, turned around and ran towards the path leading to the village.
Ke Suanzi shouted in dissatisfaction, "You bastard! Just wait for me."
"Qiqi. I want candy too." Ke Suanzi raised his palms up like a naughty old boy.
Su Qi grabbed a handful of candy from her sleeve and gave it to him, whispering a threat:
"Master, the people behind you need to hurry up and take care of it, otherwise you will have nothing to eat in the future."
