Chapter 324 Leave One for Me
Lu Fei said he could do nothing to help, that was all he knew.
But according to his observation, Wu Mian was running and jumping freely, not at all like the zombie in the rumors. Maybe he was faking his death before.
As for why he didn't wake up for two days, it might be that he fainted for a moment and didn't receive timely treatment, so he lay there for two days.
After all, no one would have the leisure to reach into the coffin to feel whether the dead person is breathing or has a heartbeat.
Feng Jing's eyes rolled and he waved towards Chen Xing.
Chen Xing immediately let go of Lu Fei's sleeve and walked aside with him.
The two of them huddled together and whispered, their voices as quiet as a mosquito's hum. No one except them could hear what they were saying.
Chu Liuzheng leaned over curiously to listen, and the two of them stopped talking tacitly and turned to look at her.
Chu Liuzheng touched his nose and returned empty-handed under everyone's expectant gaze.
"Ahem." Xiao Jingfan cleared his throat and instructed Zhou Yuande, "Send two people to Wu Mian's house to keep an eye on him, and then—"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Xing and Feng Jing on the other end raised their hands. Chen Xing said, "Master, Doctor Feng and I will go and keep an eye on him."
Xiao Jingfan had heard from Xiao Da about Chen Xing's various actions in the Dark Guard Camp. Even if he tried to stop Chen Xing from going, Chen Xing would still sneak there on his own. What's more, there was now another Feng Jing who loved to join in the fun.
Since these two were keeping an eye on Wu Mian, he could save two people and send them to Taoran Temple to investigate.
"Okay." He nodded to the two of them and warned them, "Don't reveal your whereabouts."
"I'll take care of things, young master, don't worry." Chen Xing patted his chest, pulled Feng Jing and ran out, "Let's go."
You can tell from the back that he is impatient.
Siyue was also curious about what was going on with Wu Mian and wanted to follow him, but she glanced at Chu Liuzheng beside her and gave up the idea.
Chu Liuzheng stood on tiptoe, wanting to join in the fun.
She turned to look at Xiao Jingfan, and before she could even open her mouth, Xiao Jingfan began to interrogate her: "Chenxing is good at martial arts, Feng Jing is good at poison, what about you?"
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
【Is it okay to eat melons? 】
Xiao Jingfan: "Just stay still."
Chu Liuzheng: ...嘤!
Lu Fei listened to this conversation and suddenly understood something.
The look he gave Chu Liuzheng immediately became meaningful.
Chu Liuzheng blinked.
[Master Lu, are you trying to be my matchmaker?]
Hearing this, Xiao Jingfan almost choked on his tea and looked at Lu Fei curiously. What was that matchmaking look?
Lu Fei:?
He asked tentatively, "Master, do you have any instructions?"
"Take a few people and explore Taoran Temple at night," Xiao Jingfan said. "I suspect this Taoist temple has some connection with Yin Lanci. Be careful and don't let anyone in the Taoist temple discover you."
"Yes." Lu Fei took the order seriously, went out and picked three people to go with him, and went back to the room to change into night clothes before setting off.
Chu Liuzheng, who couldn't watch the show on the spot, could only look for it in the system. However, Siyue was considerate of her and thought that she slept for a long time during the day and might not be able to sleep at night, so she specially lit calming incense in the room.
Chu Liuzheng hadn't found the melon yet, but his consciousness had already sunk into a sweet dream.
Mitsuki slept in the same bed with her, and he knew she was asleep when he heard her even breathing.
She stretched her hand out of the bed curtains and flicked two fingers.
A strong wind blew past, and the calming incense went out.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day, the sun was as bright as snow, making the house exceptionally bright.
Everyone gathered in the lobby for breakfast, even Xiao Jingfan didn't eat in the room.
He sat by the window with his eyes half closed, as if he was still asleep, eating the three-fresh wontons made by the chef, which he said were so delicious that even the imperial chef in the palace could not make them as good as his.
Apparently the chef was bragging, because Chu Liuzheng put down his spoon after seeing the emperor taste only one wonton.
Zhou Yuande winked at Chu Liuzheng and quickly tried to persuade him.
Chu Liuzheng sighed.
Where was the alliance that promised to fatten the emperor? Why did she have to take on the responsibility of persuading the emperor to eat?
She got up and went to the kitchen. After a while, she brought out a plate of beef pancakes and a bowl of vegetable porridge and placed them in front of Xiao Jingfan: "Master, we have to go on our way soon. Please have some more."
The beef pancakes just out of the pan are emitting hot steam, the crust is golden and crispy, and the meat filling is rich and juicy. It looks better than wontons.
Xiao Jingfan reluctantly tried one and felt that it was different from what the chef had made. At least last night's stir-fried beef was not as delicious as the beef filling in the pancake.
He asked, "Has the cook changed?"
[The tongue is quite clever.]
Chu Liuzheng helped him carve out the second pancake, saying as he did so, "I saw some dough still in the kitchen, so I minced some beef and made this pancake. If you like it, please have two more."
Xiao Jingfan looked up in surprise: "You did it?"
Chu Liuzheng nodded.
She's going to open a restaurant in the future, so she needs to have some cooking skills, right?
Although her cooking couldn't compare to that of the imperial chef, she had been serving the emperor for so long that she knew his taste better than the chefs in the inn, so she just had to prescribe the right medicine.
Xiao Jingfan really thought that pancakes were better than wontons. He ate vegetable porridge with the pancakes and unknowingly finished all four pancakes on the plate.
Chu Liuzheng looked at it eagerly.
[You said you had no appetite? Why don't you save one for me?]
Xiao Jingfan wiped his mouth and glanced at her: "If you want to eat, go make it again. Why are you staring at the plate?"
This is justified, and Chu Liuzheng intermittently wants to give the big boss a plate.
Zhou Yuande was still very considerate. Upon hearing this, he instructed the waiter to ask the kitchen to make two more plates of beef pancakes.
After everyone ate wontons and beef pancakes, Siyue looked at the entrance of the inn and wondered, "Why haven't Chenxing and Doctor Feng returned yet?"
Not only them, but also Lu Fei and his group who went out for a night visit have not returned.
Chu Liuzheng was eating pancakes while browsing the system. Just when he wanted to check on these people, Chen Xing and Feng Jing came back first.
The two men's faces were flushed, not at all like people who had just stayed up all night, they must have gained a lot.
Xiao Jingfan didn't ask about the situation in a hurry and asked the two of them to have breakfast first.
Not long after, Lu Fei also came back with his men, but he came down from upstairs. Apparently, he went back to his room to change into his night clothes first.
He wanted to report first, but Xiao Jingfan waved his hand, indicating that he should talk after dinner.
After dinner, everyone moved to the guest rooms and gathered in Xiao Jingfan's room.
Chu Liuzheng and Siyue took the tea leaves they brought from home to the kitchen to make tea, then brought it into the house and poured it for everyone.
Xiao Jingfan first asked Lu Fei: "What's the situation?"
Lu Fei held up the tea and said, "The Taoran Temple outside the city is not very big. There is a statue of the Three Pure Ones enshrined in the front yard. The incense burner is almost full of ash. The temple must be very popular."
"There are five rooms in the backyard, three for living, and the other two, one is used as a kitchen and the other is used as a storage room."
"We've looked inside and outside the temple. Besides the abbot, there are only two children inside. They look about eleven or twelve years old. They should be responsible for the daily cleaning of the temple."
Xiao Jingfan asked, "What about the abbot?"
"I didn't see him." Lu Fei shook his head. "I heard from those two children that the abbot went out last evening. It seemed that he had something urgent to do. We waited until dawn but he didn't come back. However, there were a few pilgrims who came to visit."
"I was worried that you might be worried, so I left one person to continue guarding outside the Taoist temple and brought the others back first."
"Master, Doctor Feng and I have made a discovery." After Lu Fei finished speaking, Chen Xing quickly interrupted, his desire to share overflowed.
