Chapter 166
"What's going on?" Xiao Yue was confused for a moment, not understanding what was going on...
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Yue was confused for a moment and didn't understand what was so strange about this, but she soon realized what was going on.
It was snowing heavily in Liuyun City and the temperature was extremely low. Why did Luo Zhi go to the woods outside the city and do nothing but take a walk?
this……
"But nothing happened in the past few days." Fu Xunzhou comforted him: "If there is an accident, he can't escape."
It was so weird that Fu Xunzhou felt something was wrong no matter how he looked at it. That person must be hiding a secret and he couldn't bear it for long.
In fact, there is another related thing that Fu Xunzhou didn’t mention.
That is, going forward in time, Luo Zhi had contacted someone in the capital privately, and that person happened to be Fu Xunzhou's royal brother.
But Luo Zhi never looked for her again, or it could be said that the other party just ignored him.
Fu Xunzhou narrowed his eyes.
Fortunately, Xiao Yue is not in Liuyun City for the time being, so no matter what happens immediately, he should not be affected.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Xiao Yue's head hurt from thinking about this. He chatted casually with Fu Xunzhou, threw the megaphone away, turned over and went to sleep.
During this month, nothing was found on Luo Zhi and he seemed to be normal.
But it was this calmness that made Xiao Yue have a complicated suspicion...
Oh, forget it. If something really happens, isn’t there still a system?
A few days later.
The extra puppets at Yueting Self-service Mountain City branch have become a great spectacle. Whether adding dishes or collecting bowls, their movements are smooth and agile, which is amazing to watch.
Xiao Yue had naturally explained the matter to the sisters in the store, and there was no misunderstanding at all.
Everyone got along well with the puppets and quickly adapted to the new environment.
A few days later, Xiao Yue received a letter from Hu Lang. Before opening it, she thought that the hot pot she bought for free must be quite effective.
But when she opened it, she obviously hadn't thought enough.
The letter stated in black and white that in addition to stating that Linlang Commercial Bank's business was boosted by the self-heating pot, it also said that the self-heating pots had been sold out.
ah? ?
Xiao Yue remembered that he had prepared two thousand copies, and they were all taken in an instant.
So fast! !
Xiao Yue fell on the bed, stunned for a long time before coming to his senses.
So the current situation is that the self-heating pots have been sold out, and there is not even one left in Beijing. People there are looking forward to the arrival of a new batch.
Xiao Yue: “…”
Small problems can cause big problems.
There was no other way. Xiao Yue certainly wanted to add more goods, because the self-heating pots were produced by the system in combination with the store’s delicacies, and they could be redeemed by unlocking them with 100 points, which was equivalent to giving them away for free.
But they can only be exchanged for properties under Xiao Yue’s name, and she doesn’t have a house in Beijing at all!
Suddenly I want to go to Beijing.
Well, Xiao Yue was just thinking about it. It was impossible to go there now because the Shancheng branch had just stabilized.
It would be better to speed up the pace and rush to the capital, the most prosperous place, to take on this huge fame.
As for now...
Get ready to return to Liuyun City to celebrate the New Year!
Xiao Yue planned to go back early, even though there was still half a month before the New Year, and the journey between Shancheng and Liuyun City was only four days.
Don't you have to go back and prepare?
Things like hanging up Spring Festival couplets, preparing New Year gifts, and arranging store benefits all need planning.
There is also the New Year’s Eve dinner, and Xiao Yue plans to prepare a big table!
But I don’t know how many people will come by then. We have to take at least ten days off for the New Year, and everyone has to go back to be with their families.
Fortunately, Xiao Yue has Fang Sanhong and Xu Qingwu, there is no need to say much about these two people.
As for Fu Xunzhou, I don’t know if he…
Xiao Yue coughed lightly and temporarily put this seemingly distant festival behind him.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yue went to the store to hand over the business to Jiang Yi and Xiao Nuo.
After this month, combined with their previous experience at the South Street branch, the two of them have become very skilled.
When he learned that Xiao Yue wanted to go back first, he had no objection and just said that they would celebrate the New Year together then.
Xiao Yue was looking forward to it, and after making the arrangements, he went to Koi Street where Linlang Commercial Company was located.
There is no other way. The self-heating pot cannot be “airdropped”, so can it only be delivered by manpower?
Xiao Yue needs to maintain this fame until he goes to the capital in person.
Five thousand self-heating pots were arranged, and the person in charge of delivery knew that she was familiar with the boss, so he patted his chest and guaranteed that they would be delivered without any damage.
Xiao Yue was grateful in his heart and took the opportunity to look at the mountain city specialties in Hu Lang's shop.
Hearing that the fireworks here were very beautiful and came in a variety of styles, she quickly picked out a bunch of them and then went to look at other things.
They strolled around until noon, and when the hired carriage was full, Xiao Yue stopped and prepared to eat something in the carriage before setting off again.
"Madam Xiao!"
At this time, a familiar voice came from a distance. It was the disguised lord of the mountain city.
Speaking of which, since the first day Xiao Yue arrived, the young city lord came to greet him personally, saying that he was familiar with Fu Xunzhou and would take care of him.
Fu Xunzhou told Xiao Yue about this, and she accepted the kindness calmly.
However, not much was accepted, because Hu Lang took care of all of Xiao Yue's food, clothing, housing and transportation during the days he arrived in the mountain city.
The lord of the mountain city naturally had to retreat, but he had no objection and felt inexplicably shy when facing Hu Lang.
Xiao Yue hadn't met him very often, but she knew he was a good person to get along with. When she saw him coming over, she said, "Brother Chi, what a coincidence?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect to see you here." Chi Yi was surprised when he saw her attire: "Are you going back to Liuyun City?"
Xiao Yue blinked: "Go back early, Brother Chi, don't tell Fu Xunzhou."
Most people here communicate through ordinary letters, and only rich families raise carrier pigeons, so messages can be transmitted quickly.
Between Fu Xunzhou and the Lord of Shancheng, it is obviously the latter.
"Okay." Chi Yi suppressed his laughter, and then he became a little worried when he thought about what he had been told: "Are you the only one on this trip?"
Xiao Yue replied: "I hired a driver from Alang's shop. There are two of them. Don't worry!"
"This..." How could Chi Yi feel at ease? He thought, "Why don't I give you a ride and the carriage will follow you? This will make people feel more at ease."
Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment and wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Chi."
"No trouble."
As he spoke, Chi Yi began to instruct his subordinates who followed him, and everything was ready in just a quarter of an hour.
At this time, Xiao Yue remembered to ask: "By the way, I wonder if Brother Chi has eaten yet? If you don't mind, just eat something in the carriage?"
“I don’t mind, I don’t mind!” Chi Yi’s eyes lit up and he came over very proactively.
Xiao Yue laughed and chatted with him casually while eating.
But halfway through the meal, Chi Yi seemed to suddenly remember something and asked someone to go to his carriage and get a box of something.
When I opened it, I saw that it was filled with palm-sized white pancakes, which looked good.
Chi Yi handed it to her: "Try it. I bought it by accident a few days ago. Although it's not as good as yours, it tastes really good!"
"Thank you." Xiao Yue smiled and reached out to take the pancakes from the box.
It smells milky and has a distinct sweetness. It is not crispy but chewy when you take a bite.
Xiao Yue had just eaten and stopped eating after eating one piece.
The rest was distributed by Chi Yi to the coachman and his men, and the whole box was quickly finished.
After lunch, it was time for the group to set off.
Xiao Yue got on the carriage, but for some reason, he suddenly felt dizzy.
She shook her head, and the feeling disappeared.
Xiao Yue didn't think too much about it. He turned around and lit a charcoal fire in the carriage, thinking that he must not catch a cold before the New Year.
The stove in this carriage was not built-in, but stood in the center. Although it was not as warm as the previous ones that would warm the entire carriage when lit, the temperature would rise quickly.
Xiao Yue rubbed his hands, and leaned back when he felt comfortable. He felt that the back door seemed a little loose, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Such is the inconvenience of renting a carriage. I hope my own will be repaired by the time I return.
The wheels rolled and the two carriages drove out of the city.
Chi Yi was sitting in the back car. He had been having a severe headache since getting on the car, and he also felt a little dizzy.
Come to think of it, what was he doing in Koi Street...
Looking for Madam Xiao?
But how did I know that Xiao Yue was on Koi Street, and how did I find her so clearly?
Chi Yi’s head hurt even more.
He groaned as the carriage swayed, and when he looked up again, his eyes were filled with confusion.
The sky was dark.
Before setting off, Xiao Yue agreed with Chi Yi to stop and rest after dark.
She called out to the driver to stop, but for some reason, the driver was a little slow to react and it took a long time for him to stop the carriage.
Xiao Yue took out the prepared food box and was about to ask the coachman to deliver it to Chi Yi. After all, the weather was too cold, so it would be better to eat in the carriage.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the car.
Surrounded by such silence and darkness, Xiao Yue's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
"Brother Chi?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door at the front of the carriage was opened forcefully, carrying the curtain with it.
The person who came was indeed Chi Yi, but unlike his gentle appearance during the day, his face was gloomy at this moment, and he looked at Xiao Yue without saying a word.
Even the driver turned around, his expression gloomy and inexplicably scary.
Xiao Yue kept backing away, groping with both hands, forcing himself to calm down: "Brother Chi, what happened?"
Chi Yi still didn't speak, his lifeless pupils fluctuated for only a moment, and the next second he rushed in to grab her.
Xiao Yue's pupils shrank and he raised his foot and kicked towards the charcoal stove.
"Bang!"
Sparks flew and ashes flew.
Xiao Yue didn't even dare to look at Chi Yi and the driver. He opened the completely loose rear door and ran down.
But after running a few steps, Xiao Yue slowed down.
At some point, two or three men in black began to appear around us, and their numbers were increasing.
These are... Fu Xunzhou's secret guards?
At this moment, Xiao Yue did not feel at ease, but felt even more depressed.
Because these people were not walking towards the carriage to protect her, but were coming towards her to surround her.
"ah!"
At the same time, a scream came from the carriage, coming from the coachman.
Chi Yi held a dagger in his hand and walked towards Xiao Yue step by step with a strong sense of oppression.
The cold wind blew and Xiao Yue's mind went blank for a moment.
But the next second, Chi Yi grabbed her arm and ran towards another carriage.
Before Xiao Yue had the chance to struggle, he was thrown onto the horse's back in front of him.
“…Let’s go!”
Chi Yi's low growl sounded along with the horse's roar.
Then the horse's leash was cut by the dagger in his hand, and it ran forward madly with its hooves.
Xiao Yue held on tightly to avoid falling. Her heart was pounding as she reluctantly turned her head to look. She saw Chi Yi, holding a dagger in his hand, entangled with the group of secret guards.
But he seemed to be controlled by something, his eyes were bloodshot, and his movements became stiff...
Until this scene disappeared, Xiao Yue came to his senses and struggled to get up from the galloping horse.
Fortunately, she was dragged by Hu Lang to the mountain city to practice horse riding, otherwise she would have fallen off and been trampled to death by the horse's hooves before she could run far.
Xiao Yue reached for the reins with trembling hands, and the breath coming out of his mouth and nose was white mist.
It was too dark, with only faint moonlight, and I couldn't even see the road clearly.
But Xiao Yue didn't dare to stop. The last scene she saw was enough to shock her heart.
Can’t stop…
cannot……
But for some reason, the more Xiao Yue tried to stay awake, the heavier her head felt. She could only tear off her scarf and cloak, and only then could she force herself to open her eyes as the cold wind poured in.
It was not until dawn that Xiao Yue relaxed when he saw a dilapidated temple in front of him.
The horse kicked and stopped, and when Xiao Yue turned over, his legs almost went weak and he fell to the ground, but fortunately he stood firm.
She pulled the reins with difficulty and walked in. The place was dilapidated and empty.
Xiao Yue breathed a sigh of relief, quickly exchanged for a lighter and food, made a fire, and his limbs gradually warmed up.
But she didn't have the strength to eat. She was shaking all over and her eyelids felt heavy as if they were weighed by a weight. In the end, she leaned against a pillar and didn't know how she closed her eyes.
