The waiter noticed their predicament and calculated the price: "The total is... 252 taels of silver... Miss, it's our shop's rule to settle the bill first, then eat."
After he finished speaking, he smiled at the four of them, and finally, his gaze fell on Ling Qi and Ling Ba, "Who's going to pay the bill?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Susu secretly shook her head, "So expensive?"
Previously, she had dined at Shangjin Restaurant. The most expensive meal she had ever had was a table full of delicious food with her girlfriends, but it still didn't cost this much.
The waiter smiled and said, "Miss, it's not expensive. This morning, a customer spent over a thousand taels for one meal."
"More than a thousand taels?" Qin Susu's eyes widened. "My God, so much!"
Qiu Yan thought to herself, "This sucker must be rich."
Ling Qi hid her embarrassment, turned her head away to avoid the waiter's gaze, and didn't forget to glare at Qin Susu.
He felt extremely ashamed.
The waiter inwardly glared at Ling Qi with contempt, then looked at Ling Ba.
Ling Ba's body was somewhat stiff.
He was just wondering how Qin Susu would handle the situation, but now, it was his turn to handle it.
He really didn't want things to end like this.
He looked up and said to the waiter:
"I'm sorry, what she means is, we don't want any of these."
Qin Susu was a little embarrassed. "Uh... what I meant was, I'm tired of eating all of these, I don't want any of them."
"What?" The waiter forced himself to remain calm.
"You come to eat when you have no money? Are you kidding me?" The waiter's face grew weary.
I thought I'd stumbled upon a fat sheep, but it turned out to be four penniless bastards.
"Refreshing dried radish, spicy cabbage, cold tofu salad, boiled peanuts, and four steamed buns, please." After Ling Ba finished speaking, he took out a piece of silver.
That's it? "Is there anything else?" The waiter's attitude became lazy.
Ling Ba: "Also, bring the dishes to the room."
The waiter muttered to himself again, "Four penniless bastards."
"Please wait a moment, the food will be here shortly."
As he spoke, he took a bite of the half-piece of silver.
When he came back, he found Ling Ba two strings of copper coins.
Qin Susu lowered her head, then glanced at the menu on the wall, and secretly shook her head.
"Why don't they just rob people?"
Qiu Yan was also at a loss about the expensive food. "Miss Qin, I thought you were going to treat us."
"I... Xiaoyan, when we get to Shangjin, I'll definitely treat you to a meal. Don't be shy then," Qin Susu promised, patting her chest.
Qiu Yan: "Don't just talk the talk."
"No, that won't happen." Qin Susu smiled awkwardly, changing the subject.
"Xiaoyan, I'm sorry to trouble you tonight, but you'll have to squeeze into a room with me for another night. With two rooms, we can save two taels of silver."
...
Northern Qi Dynasty,
Gu Qian, Ling Yun, and Ling Zhi split into three groups.
It is inevitable that the journey will be difficult.
Ling Yun and Ling Zhi each led large armies to the nearest city of Northern Qi.
Every time they arrived at a city, they would call for war and attack.
This time, it was Northern Qi's turn to hold firm and not engage.
Now that Northern Qi has lost its external support, its strength has clearly fallen behind.
Lingyun and Lingzhi are incredibly patient; since their departure, they have each captured one city.
However, the first two times were purely by chance; they caught the Northern Qi completely off guard.
The subsequent siege was not so easy.
Although it won't be easy, this battle is already a foregone conclusion.
With Lingyun and Lingzhi drawing attention, Gu Qian personally led 100,000 elite troops from Dongjin, bypassing the official road and traversing the mountains, heading towards Qidu.
The mountain road was rugged and extremely difficult to traverse.
During their journey, they encountered numerous ambushes by local Northern Qi soldiers, resulting in countless battles, both large and small.
Gu Qian pressed on with unwavering determination, overcoming one obstacle after another.
