Chapter 409: The Imperial Master Takes Action Personally
"Daddy, what's wrong with you?"
Fubao noticed that Wan Laoer was a little nervous, and quickly stroked his back with his little hand.
Wan Laoer turned around, held Fubao's hand, and held her in his arms.
"Fubao, can we take the food back and eat it later? Go back and be with your brother Zhengyang."
"Well, okay. Brother Zhengyang also likes to eat braised pork. Fubao can give him half of it so that he can get better quickly. This way, Brother Zhengyang won't be anxious." Fubao's voice was soft and sticky. Although he was protected by Wan Laoer, the people at the next table still heard it.
They looked at Wan Laoer again, a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes, but the waiter quickly brought two jars of wine.
"Sir, this is our store's treasure, Shao Daozi. Would you like to try it? The roasted whole lamb will be ready soon."
"Um."
One of the men hummed, picked up the wine jar and filled it up for the people traveling with him.
"This wine is really strong, quite good." One of the thinner men exclaimed loudly after taking a sip.
The waiter immediately smiled and said, "Sir, you really know what's good. From your accent, you don't sound like locals. When you leave, you can bring some back for your relatives and friends to taste. This is also a famous wine in our Qinping County."
"Okay, prepare ten jars for us later and we can take them with us when we leave."
"Okay, enjoy your meal, sir. I'll go get some wine for you."
The waiter happily went to the back.
Wan Laoer became even more panicked. The accents of these people were indeed not from the locals, but he had not been to many places and could not tell where they were from for a moment. But he just saw the way they looked at Fubao, as if they knew Fubao. He felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, as if these people wanted to rob Fubao.
Wan Laoer felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He felt that the time he spent waiting for the food was like a year. What was even more terrifying was that he felt that the other party's eyes never faded.
Finally, after Wan Laoer’s long wait, the dishes were served.
"Brother, I want to take all these dishes back. Can you pack them for me, please? I suddenly remembered that I have an emergency at home and need to go back to deal with it."
Wan Lao Er stood up and said.
The waiter was very easy-going and quickly packed the food for Wan Laoer and handed it to him.
Wan Laoer paid the bill and did not ask the waiter for change for the remaining money. He then hurried out carrying Fubao in his arms.
He was in a hurry and didn't look at the road. When he passed by the neighboring table, the other party stretched out his foot and tripped him, and Wan Laoer fell to the ground instantly.
Fortunately, he held onto a long bench beside him, so Fubao did not fall to the ground, but his knee was definitely bruised.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Fubao immediately became anxious, and struggled to get off Wan Laoer and tried to pull Wan Laoer.
"My daughter, Daddy is fine. Let's go back quickly, otherwise your braised pork will get cold and won't taste good."
Fubao looked at Wan Laoer worriedly, thinking that her father was lying to her, but she had no evidence, so she could only follow Wan Laoer obediently and prepare to go out.
At this moment, a big hand suddenly lifted Fubao up from behind, and with the other hand, he quickly took out a dagger from his waist and started cutting Fubao's clothes.
No one knew what material this dagger was made of, but it was incredibly sharp, and the blade could blow away any hair. With a swish sound, Fubao's back was exposed.
At the same time, a red carp pattern on Fubao's back caught the other person's eyes.
Wan Laoer reacted quickly, grabbing Fubao and protecting her behind him.
"What are you doing? How dare you hurt my daughter in broad daylight? I will send you all to the authorities."
Wan Lao Er shouted sternly.
But the other party had achieved his goal and immediately put away the dagger, his narrow and long eyes full of mockery.
The other party did not respond to Wan Laoer's words, but turned back to his seat and spoke a lot of gibberish in words that Wan Laoer could not understand.
Fubao's face turned pale. She immediately pulled Wan Laoer's hand and whispered, "Daddy, let's run. They are here to take me back. That person is the Imperial Master."
Fubao pointed at the thin man.
Wan Laoer's legs went weak on the spot. How did these people get here?
But he didn't have time to think about it. He bent down, picked up Fubao and ran outside. He didn't even have time to pick up the braised pork that had fallen on the ground.
He ran very fast, but the people brought by the other party were obviously not pushovers. In addition, the one who came this time was the imperial master, which showed that they were determined to win.
Wan Laoer ran to the street. It was already getting dark. The weather was bad today, so there were very few pedestrians in the sky. He wanted to ask for help, but no one helped him.
Wan Laoer felt a sense of despair spreading in his heart, his heartbeat was like a drum, and Fubao kept pointing the way ahead.
Ji Wuyan, the state teacher of Yue State, raised his head and drank the last sip of wine, a determined smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he crushed the wine glass in his hand with his bare hands, then casually brushed off the crumbs on his hands and stood up.
The other five people also quickly stood up respectfully.
The chief guard Song Hongyu bowed and asked, "Master, what should we do now?"
"Don't worry. Princess Furui has been found. Send a pigeon back to inform the emperor. We will bring her back within three months."
After Ji Wuyan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. He walked very slowly, but in the blink of an eye, he was already at the door.
The waiter happened to be carrying a jar of wine. When he saw the strange steps of the Imperial Master, he opened his eyes wide in shock and almost dropped the jar in his hand.
"Sir, this wine..."
The waiter asked hesitantly, looking at the backs of the people.
Liu Hongyu threw twenty taels of silver on the table and left a sentence: "Save the wine for now, and we will drink it when we come back as a celebratory drink." Then he disappeared at the door.
The waiter looked at the silver ingot on the table stupidly, put down the wine in his hand, and chased after him with the silver ingot, "Sir, this is too much money, I don't want it..."
But there was no one to be seen outside. Those people came and went in a hurry, as if they had never appeared on this street.
The waiter took the money silently, but was very happy in his heart. He could use the extra money as a reward. However, the reward was really too much, and he was both happy and worried.
Wan Laoer didn't dare to go back to the newly rented house at this time, for he was afraid of getting Hu Zhengyang into trouble. However, he had already run several blocks on the street. In the cold night of early winter, he was sweating and panting. The most terrifying thing was that he didn't know anyone here, and no one could help him. He had no relatives, and for the first time he experienced the difficulty of being in a foreign land.
"Fubao, if those people take you back, your parents won't have to live anymore."
Wan Laoer was so anxious that two blisters appeared on his mouth. He had just seen that those people were either rich or noble, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary civilians. However, he did not expect that they were actually people from Yue. How did they come to Da Qi?
