Chapter 3736: Restaurant, is it so quiet?
While he was hesitating, he turned around and saw Li Bushang and Xie Jiaojiao coming out.
Li Bushang was still as silent as ever. Although the sun was shining brightly today, it seemed as if his face was covered with frost that could not be melted. No matter what the weather was like, there was no warmth on his face or in his eyes.
However, the pretty Miss Xie next to him didn't seem to care at all.
As he walked, he put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Your tea is still the best. I have drunk so many teas, but I think your Tieguanyin is the best."
“…”
"Commander Li, can I come again?"
Li Bushang raised his eyelids and glanced at her, then said, "If I say no, will you not come?"
Xie Jiaojiao laughed.
Li Bushang said calmly, "If you want to come, then come."
Xie Jiaojiao covered her mouth and smiled, "If you put it that way, can I understand that you still want me to come?"
Li Bushan seemed to no longer want to talk to her. He looked up and saw the housekeeper Wang Sheng standing at the gate, talking to a little beggar. When he saw him coming, Wang Sheng immediately came over and saluted: "Master."
Li Bushang asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Sheng said, "This little beggar said he has something to tell the master."
"Pass it to me?"
Li Bushang subconsciously frowned: "Who asked him to pass on the message? What message?"
Wang Sheng said, "He said you would only tell me when you see the master."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jiaojiao, who was standing by, looked at the little beggar with some curiosity. He was dressed in rags and his face was covered in mud. It was almost impossible to tell his original appearance. Only his eyes were exceptionally bright and seemed particularly clever.
When he saw him like this, Li Bushan's breathing somehow became heavier.
He seemed to see himself back then.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the little beggar. The little beggar was also very brave and courageous. He was entrusted with the task and received money, so he came to the door with courage.
But when he saw this "Mr. Li" coming towards him, he somehow felt as if he saw a wolf walking towards him. He was so scared that he took two steps back and shrank his neck.
And Li Bushang had already walked in front of him.
She looked down at him and said, "What do you want to tell me?"
The little beggar shuddered for a moment before finally coming to his senses. He blinked and looked at him: "You, your name is Li Bushan?"
Wang Sheng, standing by, frowned and was about to scold him, but Li Bu Shang raised his hand to stop him from speaking. He then said to the little beggar, "I am Li Bu Shang. Who asked you to deliver a message? What message do you want to deliver?"
The little beggar said, "That man said his surname was Bai, and he told you to hurry to Zuixianju in Jing'anfang. Something big is going to happen there. Something really big!"
"What?!"
Li Bushang said in a deep voice: "What's the big deal? Explain it clearly?!"
The little beggar looked awkwardly at Wang Sheng, who was obviously at a loss, and Xie Jiaojiao, who was looking at them with a frown, and then whispered a few words into Li Bushang's ear. Li Bushang listened and was silent for a while.
His expression was relatively calm, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly frowned and said, "Did he say whether there was one person or two people in Zuixianju?"
The little beggar shook his head: "He didn't say that."
“…”
"He just told you to hurry over, saying that if you keep playing, something bad will happen."
At this moment, flames suddenly ignited in Li Bushang's eyes, which seemed to be frozen with frost, and his whole aura changed.
He stood up and immediately said, "Housekeeper, take this child in and take good care of him."
The little beggar was stunned: "You, what are you going to do?"
Li Bushang said, "Don't let him leave before I come back. As for the rest, give him whatever he wants."
Hearing this, the little beggar was also stunned for a moment, and the housekeeper immediately responded: "Yes."
Then he came over, grabbed the little beggar's arm, and said, "Come quickly, we will take care of you."
The little beggar was about to say something, but Li Bushang had already turned and walked out, shouting as he walked, "Bring the horse here!"
His stable was very close to the gate. When he heard the shout, a groom came over with a horse. Li Bushang jumped on the horse and galloped away. Only Xie Jiaojiao was left standing at the gate, silent.
The housekeeper smiled and said to Xie Jiaojiao, "Miss Xie, our master has gone to take care of official business."
Xie Jiaojiao glanced back at him and simply said, "It's okay."
After saying that, he walked out of the Li Mansion.
However, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she stood in the middle of the street in front of the Li Mansion, watching Li Bushang's back as he rode away on his horse. The look in her eyes became more solemn and sad.

On the second floor of Zuixianju, facing a table full of dishes, the two people put down their chopsticks without eating much, even though they had been hungry for a long time.
Zhu Feng said, "You, you've been thinking about coming out for so long, and now I bring you out, and you're like this again."
Nan Yan looked up at him and said softly, "Didn't the master eat much?"
"I can't eat."
"Me too."
Zhu Feng looked at her, smiled slightly, and said, "It's not time for you to worry about me, so why can't you eat? Besides, these things are not your business."
Nan Yan said seriously, "But the Emperor—Master taught me so much before. Even if it's not my business, I should have given it some thought. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of Master's efforts?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "You are quite good at talking."
After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. Nan Yan also took a sip of tea, wiped her chest and said, "Well, it's still a bit stuffy. I'll open the window and get some fresh air."
"Go ahead."
Zhu Feng was still sitting at the table, watching Nan Yan walk over and open the window. Immediately, the noise from the street was blown by the wind, filling this small, quiet private room.
Nan Yan said, "Oh," and said, "So it's so noisy outside."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Yes, this restaurant is quite quiet."
After saying this, he seemed to sense something and glanced sideways at the tightly closed door of the private room. Apart from Li Quan standing outside, there was almost no sound around.
Is the restaurant so quiet?
He stood up and walked to the window. He saw several men in shorts sitting by the window on the second floor of the tavern opposite. They were not drinking, but just looking over here.
As soon as they saw him walk to the bed, they immediately lowered their heads.
Zhu Feng frowned.
Nan Yan also saw it.
She felt something was wrong and whispered, "Your Majesty, what's going on over there?"
Just then, there was a sound of heavy footsteps on the long street downstairs, as if a large group of people were running over.
