Chapter 173
When Xiao Yue arrived at Liuyun City, it was already late. Near the city gate...
When Xiao Yue arrived at Liuyun City, it was already late.
As she approached the city gate, she frowned in thought. Luo Zhi and the Second Prince's men had set up an ambush, so she would probably have to slow down and deal with it.
But the closer the distance, the flatter the road, and the carriage Xiao Yue was riding in showed no sign of stopping.
She went straight into the city without any incident.
In the carriage, Lu Ran and Sun Wen were coaxed by Xiao Yue to close their eyes and rest, and now they opened their eyes.
Lu Ran said calmly: "They are just a few lackeys of the Second Prince, nothing to be afraid of."
"That's right, it only took some time to deal with those bandits this morning, otherwise we could have gotten back to Liuyun City faster." Sun Wen's tone became even more disdainful.
In fact, Duan Lin's method was faster, but since he was in a hurry to travel, he could only leave the bandits to them to deal with.
Xiao Yue was speechless for a moment and felt puzzled about the identity of the second prince of the Dachen royal family.
Because it sounds like... he's being treated like a vegetable?
The carriage went to the City Lord's Mansion without stopping.
It wasn't until Xiao Yue walked in that the feeling of returning to a familiar place became real, and then he saw a group of familiar faces running towards him.
Fang Sanhong, Su Xiaoxiao, Xiao Lian, Xu Qingwu... and Fu Xunzhou, who was one step behind and staring at her closely.
Xiao Yue looked at him across the crowd, and when he looked away, Fang Sanhong hugged him.
"I'm glad you're okay." Fang Sanhong's breathing was extremely rapid, but her tone remained calm: "I'm glad you're okay..."
The shop is important, but it is secondary to personal safety. As long as no one is harmed, all problems can be solved.
Su Xiaoxiao sniffed and looked at Xiao Yue with tears in her eyes. She wanted to say something but was afraid she couldn't hold it in, so she held it back.
The same was true for Xiao Lian and Xu Qingwu standing by. They were both very sensible and understood that now was not the time to reminisce or talk.
Xiao Yue let go of Fang Sanhong, gave her a comforting smile, then looked at Fu Xunzhou who was waiting for him and said, "Thank you."
Fu Xunzhou shook his head, suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, held her hand and felt the warmth, but just when he wanted to speak——
"Sir, Luo Zhi is missing!"
Xiao Yue clearly felt Fu Xunzhou's hand pause, and his aura changed in an instant. He suddenly turned around and looked at Duan Lin who was running towards him.
"What did you say?"
"Luo Zhi, Luo Zhi controlled people in the dungeon, and now I don't know where he has escaped to..." Duan Lin knelt on one knee, his tone panicked.
In an instant, the whole yard was dead silent.
Xiao Yue came back to his senses and realized that Fu Xunzhou had already captured Luo Zhi, and he must have someone to lure him out of the shop where he was hiding.
But now Luo Zhi has run away? !
Without waiting for her to speak, Fu Xunzhou raised his eyelids and said in a cold voice: "Bring the person here."
who?
Xiao Yue looked at Duan Lin's figure who was leaving after receiving the order. She felt that Fu Xunzhou was in a low mood, so she held his hand.
The gloom in the man's eyes finally disappeared. He took a deep breath and put his cloak on her, as if he was comforting her or talking to himself.
"He can't escape."
Xiao Yue pursed her lips. She didn't feel that his look was strange. Instead, she was a little worried that he might lose control of his emotions.
Put yourself in their shoes. If you knew that the person you loved was missing but you stayed to stabilize the situation, and finally found out that the person was fine and caught the culprit, but now the person escaped again due to a careless move...
Xiao Yue was so angry that he died.
A quarter of an hour later.
A bloated and obese man was brought over by Duan Lin and thrown to the ground like garbage.
The second prince seemed to know what had happened and begged for mercy while shaking.
"It's none of my business, you can't blame me! I've already asked him to show up as you said, but now he's gone. You, you can't take it out on me!"
But the second prince knew that the man in front of him was not reasonable and would not listen to explanations.
I'm afraid I'll kick him on the spot!
Unexpectedly, from the second prince's perspective, Fu Xunzhou was just standing there, next to him was a woman in a white dress, whose upper body could not be seen, but the two were holding hands.
Fu Xunzhou not only did not move, his voice was a little flat: "A dog will wag its tail if it is given a bone for the second time. It won't be difficult for you to make him appear again."
I don’t know whether it means Luo Zhi is the Second Prince’s dog, or the Second Prince is Fu Xunzhou’s dog.
"You..." The second prince was dumbfounded: "How is this possible! He is not stupid...ah!"
Before he could finish his words, Duan Lin behind him pulled out a knife and put it on his neck.
He did not hold back at all and was not worried about the sword's blindness, because Xiao Yue clearly saw that the man was bleeding.
Fu Xunzhou slightly turned sideways to block Xiao Yue's sight, while raising his hand to adjust the fastening buckles of her cloak, his tone neither cold nor hot.
"Whether you go or stay, it's not up to me to decide."
It seems that the decision-making power is given to the second prince, but in fact he has no choice at all.
"I'll look for him! I'll look for him!" The second prince shouted in panic, "I'll let my people look for him this time. The secret guard you asked me to send last time was not a trusted one. I can say that you deceived him! If it's my trusted one this time, he will definitely..."
"No." Fu Xunzhou glanced at him and said, "You go in person and take him back to Yueting on South Street to help himself before noon tomorrow."
The second prince collapsed to the ground, his whole body in a trance.
Why on earth did he trust Luo Zhi so easily and provoke this man again?
After all these years of fighting, it’s still unclear whether Fu Xunzhou is a moody person!
He was left in the dog house last night without even a drop of water, and now he is allowed to leave to find someone today. There must be at least a hundred pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark!
And didn’t Luo Zhi say that the woman Fu Xunzhou loved was arrested? So who is this now? If she wasn't the one he loved, how could she be so close to him?
The last chips are gone, no...
moment.
Xiao Yue watched Duan Lin take the man away, recalling the conversation just now, and wondered if this man could be the second prince?
"The clown should play his role for the last time." Fu Xunzhou's words at this moment also indirectly proved it.
Xiao Yue was in mixed mood.
How could there be any grudge between these two people? Isn't it obvious that Fu Xunzhou is unilaterally crushing the second prince?
Xiao Yue hesitated to comment: "The so-called royal family seems to be just like this."
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Fu Xunzhou was strangely silent for a moment, then he gently rubbed her head with his chin.
Everyone was still around and witnessed the scene that just happened.
Xiao Yue said: "Let's discuss it tonight, and tomorrow we can go directly to South Street and make a quick decision!"
Everyone nodded.
…
It was the day when the problem was finally solved, and Xiao Yue got up very early.
In fact, nothing was discussed last night, because she would definitely be the one to face Luo Zhi in person.
However, when the group was heading to South Street, they still did not make much noise and set off in batches.
According to what was said last night, Fu Xunzhou does not share the same path as Xiao Yue.
The only people with her were Fang Sanhong, Lu Ran, Su Xiaoxiao, Sun Wen and others.
The carriage stopped at the back door of the South Street branch. Since none of them could step in, they could only find a spot far away from the back door and wait.
Xiao Yue got off the carriage and strode towards the back door. When his hand touched the back door, he felt the nervous gazes of several people in the distance.
She lowered her eyes and pushed gently, and the back door opened.
Xiao Yue walked in naturally, just like every time he came here.
At the same second, a familiar electronic voice came into her mind.
[Sensing the host's presence, successfully restoring connection with the host!] 】
[System functions are open to the host, and the complete functions are being urgently repaired...]
Xiao Yue paused, feeling suddenly absurd and ridiculous.
Not to the system, but to Luo Zhi.
He blocked everything, preventing the sisters from entering the properties recognized by the system, but he forgot to block the real owner.
Or it is impossible to block?
It seems that Luo Zhi has snatched the system away by unknown means. Not only can he not use all the functions, he can't even bind it for his own use.
Now that Xiao Yue has successfully reconnected to the system, he can use it proficiently right away.
She did not forget what Su Xiaoxiao told her last night, that Luo Zhi used a megaphone to commit fraud.
Probably using the system to change the sound and then play the audio out?
Xiao Yue had never thought of doing this before, but now he really has some inspiration.
About a quarter of an hour later, Fang Sanhong and the others who were anxiously waiting outside saw Xiao Yue waving and walked over tentatively.
Go in!
But before they could be happy, they saw Hua Jinjin, Hua Cancan and others standing in a row in the corridor between the first floor and the back kitchen.
"I'll take care of it." Xiao Yue held the megaphone in his hand and said calmly, "It's time for us to open for business now."
At this moment, in a corner of South Street, the Second Prince was wandering stealthily.
He was relieved and wanted to smile bitterly. He was relieved because he successfully contacted Luo Zhi, and he wanted to smile bitterly because...
Luo Zhi didn't know whether he was brave or thought that the most dangerous place was the safest place, he actually made an appointment to meet at the riverside of South Street!
The second prince was shocked.
The riverside is just around the corner from Yueting Self-service Restaurant!
The second prince looked around and walked towards the river trembling. For the first time, he felt that Fu Xunzhou was right. He, a prince, had fallen to this state.
Especially when he arrived at the river, the Second Prince did not see Luo Zhi, and his heart immediately sank.
He wouldn't be fooled, would he?
Fortunately, as soon as the idea came to my mind, I heard some movement in the river.
In today's weather, the river water in Liuyun City was frozen solid, but a hole suddenly opened up out of nowhere, and there was actually a stone door hidden in the covered wall!
Luo Zhi came up along the road from the river. He didn't know how long he had been hiding, and he looked in a disheveled state.
"They can't think of it no matter how hard they try." Luo Zhi glanced at the shocked Second Prince and sneered, "Did Fu Xunzhou instigate your secret guard to rebel?"
Luo Zhi received a secret letter from the second prince last night. There was a code to prove it was from him. The letter said that he was deceived by the damn Fu Xunzhou.
The second prince came back to his senses. After all, he was used to intrigue and had first-rate acting skills. He said bitterly, "There are many methods you haven't seen. I even have to guard against my confidants. How can I be like you?"
This is blaming Luo Zhi for trusting others too easily, and he deserves to be laughed at.
This fits Luo Zhi's impression of the royal family and this person's arrogance, and he relaxed his guard a little: "What do you want from me? Isn't it the day we agreed to meet yet?"
"Don't talk too much, let's talk in the store." The second prince turned around and left with an impatient look on his face.
He didn't dare to do this to Fu Xunzhou, fearing that he would really kill him, but he didn't dare to do this to a mere civilian?
He was the one who caused this!
Luo Zhi stared at the second prince's back, gritted his teeth, and followed him.
But just as he reached the corner of Yueting Self-service Building near the gate, he heard a crackling sound of electricity in his mind.
[The system is being repaired and is being disengaged...]
