Chapter 1657 Meng Qi silently took out some food
Yuan Gui stared at her with his mouth slightly agape, unable to believe his eyes.
"They actually..."
On second thought, it didn't seem strange. As an orphan with no relatives, wasn't he bullied by the bodyguards when he first went to the Jianghe Escort Agency? The head escort never stood up for him either.
Making such a decision seems to be in their style.
Yuan Gui took a deep breath and perked up, "How does Lord Lu know about me?" He was just an unknown nobody.
"We were investigating Jiang Kuanyu, and our investigation led us to you. We heard you fell off a cliff and thought you were probably dead. But they said they didn't see your body, so they think you might still have a chance. It seems you're lucky. What exactly happened back then? Since you're alright, why didn't you go back to Dong'an Prefecture? And why are you here now, fighting with them?"
When Yuan Gui heard that they were investigating Jiang Kuanyu, his eyes lit up slightly. It seemed that they knew Jiang Kuanyu was no good either.
He had recovered somewhat and was about to speak when his stomach suddenly growled.
Meng Yunzheng and the other two, "..."
Yuan Gui said embarrassedly, "I... I haven't eaten anything for two days."
I was really starving, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state after the fight.
But neither Meng Yunzheng nor Shu Yu brought any food, so it wasn't realistic for them to go out and find something to eat right now.
Just then, a hand silently reached out from behind and handed over a piece of instant noodles.
Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu suddenly turned their heads to look at Meng Qi behind them—"You went out to look for someone and even brought food with you?"
Meng Qi said in a low voice, "I thought there were no breakfast stalls outside, so I brought this just in case."
He had stayed in the secret room the whole time, unlike Meng Yunzheng and the others who had seen the street scene when they came yesterday. He thought that with the chaos outside, no one dared to go out and set up a stall, so he brought out flatbread.
He not only brought flatbread, but also a small water pouch.
This is actually a good opportunity for Yuan Gui.
Yuan Gui's eyes lit up when he saw the food and drinks. He quickly took them and began to devour the flatbread.
The bread was too dry, and his lips were so cracked that they bled whenever he ate. Shu Yu's eyelids twitched at the sight, so she simply got up and went outside to keep watch.
Yuan Gui quickly finished eating and drank all the water in his water bag, which made him feel a little better.
In addition, Meng Yunzheng carried the excellent medicine given to him by Zhao Xi, and Meng Qi applied the medicine to him while he ate. At this moment, Yuan Gui felt completely comfortable, as if all the pain in his body had disappeared.
Shu Yu returned to the house, and Yuan Gui, without delay, recounted what had happened on his journey as a镖师 (bodyguard/escort).
"When we first arrived at the mountains about 20 miles from Changjin Prefecture, we encountered a group of bandits. They were after Jiang Kuanyu. I was also eager to make a name for myself and wanted the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) to take notice of me so that I could have a better life when I got back. So I risked my life to get to his side and protect him."
Little did they know, it was all just a conspiracy.
“Jiang Kuanyu was forced to the edge of the cliff. He lost his footing and was about to fall. I quickly tried to pull him up, but we ended up falling together. Just as we were falling, I noticed that he had a vine tied around his waist. There was a cave at the bottom of the cliff, and two people in the cave pulled Jiang Kuanyu in.”
