At Shuangxi Pavilion, Qiu Dafu and Jiang Liu had just finished their breakfast when a masked man suddenly appeared in front of them as they stepped out of the restaurant.
Upon seeing this person, Jiang Liu felt a tightness in her chest and clenched her fingers.
She knew that Qiu Dafu had rescued the prefect from this man that day.
She did everything she could to ensure that Qiu Dafu would not be recognized.
Qiu Dafu was taken aback and stood in front of Jiang Liu.
Qiu Dafu had been avoiding this person since yesterday. Unexpectedly, he still managed to bump into him.
Through the mask, Qiu Dafu couldn't see his expression, but he could feel the intense anger in his heart.
"Why did you let Tang Yi leave the city yesterday?"
If Qiu Dafu hadn't possessed the Chu Tian Longsword, he wouldn't have believed in their relationship.
Chu Tian has always been obsessed with swords and would never easily give away his precious sword to someone else.
Unless, he trusts this person completely.
Jiang Liu was somewhat timid, as she already knew about Tang Yi's visit yesterday.
She was also aware that Qiu Dafu had saved her.
What if those people want to punish Qiu Dafu because of this?
The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.
But seeing Qiu Dafu's calm expression, she felt a little more at ease.
Qiu Dafu may seem dull, but he is actually clever; he will surely find a way to save himself.
Qiu Dafu recalled what Zheng Hong had once said.
General Chu once used the alias Han Dong to infiltrate the Tang residence.
Without hesitation, he replied:
"Tang Yi is General Chu's man." This was the best explanation he could think of.
Left with no other choice, in order to protect himself, he had to temporarily wrong Tang Yi.
He now only hopes that Tang Yi can report the matter of Huaiyuan to His Majesty or the general as soon as possible, so that troops can be mobilized to rescue Huaiyuan.
Then he can leave and reunite with his family.
Xiaoyan and the others must be getting impatient.
Jiang Liu couldn't help but cough softly. Tang Yi's charge of betrayal was completely unjustified.
The masked man glanced at Jiang Liu casually, turning his eyes to the side. He had seen this woman before and knew her identity.
Women are fickle and promiscuous!
"Where is Chu Tianren? Where is he?"
"General Chu is seriously injured and is currently recuperating at the Tang residence."
Before Qiu Dafu, he never lied.
To tell one lie, you must use another lie to cover it up.
...Huaiyuan Street,
Before she knew it, it was almost noon, and Qiu Yan's stomach was getting hungrier and hungrier.
"If we had known we would go hungry, we would have brought some food with us."
"Food is no problem, there's a restaurant over there."
Gu Qian said, looking at the street ahead. "Now, what we need to do is to win this battle quickly and wipe out the Northern Qi army hiding in Huaiyuan City as soon as possible, so we can go home for the New Year."
Qiu Yan looked closely and saw a restaurant at the crossroads ahead.
It is named Shuangxi Pavilion.
This name sounds familiar.
She lowered her voice: "How can we finish this quickly without your army arriving?" Wouldn't we have to wait?
Gu Qian: "Soon."
Hopefully.
The two talked as they entered Shuangxi Pavilion.
Inside Shuangxi Pavilion, the room was packed with guests, with only one table remaining in the corner.
This scene was quite different from what they had imagined.
Fortunately, there were still seats available. Qiu Yan was relieved and quickly pulled Gu Qian to sit down.
The reason why Shuangxi Pavilion is so popular is that it is the only restaurant in Huaiyuan.
Most of the diners looked gloomy and sighed. Qiu Yan could tell at a glance that these people were not locals.
Although I don't think I'm entirely right, most of the people sitting here are businesspeople.
Before the waiter arrived, Qiu Yan glanced at the diners and finally fixed her gaze on the man who was coming downstairs.
