Chapter 293: Millennium Female Corpse VS Last Warlord (14)
"Young General, are you just going to let them go?" Adjutant Chen stood behind Meng Liangchao and looked at the two people downstairs.
"Not only should you let them go, you should also personally escort them out of Yaochuan City." Meng Liangchao turned around, took off his hat and patted his head.
"Why me again?" Adjutant Chen muttered.
"Because I trust you the most." Meng Liangchao punched him in the chest.
Adjutant Chen immediately turned his dissatisfaction into joy and saluted. "I promise to complete the task."
In November, Xu Tianba and Duan Yikai, two coastal warlords whom Meng Yuanyao had tried to persuade, started a quarrel and swore at each other. It was either you die or I live. The war broke out and the local people continued to flee.
In December, Xu Tianba sent his confidant to Yaochuan to ask Meng Yuanyao to come out to mediate. Meng Yuanyao thought about it for a few days and finally went. However, Duan Yikai was arrogant and did not take Meng Yuanyao seriously. He also personally led his troops to besiege Jinwei City.
At the same time, students in the southwest organized and planned to raise the slogan "Warlords get out of China, assassination organizations get out of China". The patriotic student movement was like a wild weed that quickly spread to the surrounding areas and also attracted students from other cities to follow suit.
In the blink of an eye, it was January and the New Year was about to come. The atmosphere in Yaochuan City was a bit desolate.
The assassination organization was still lurking in the city, making trouble from time to time. The patriotic students were instigated by them with ulterior motives, and they tied bombs to attack passers-by everywhere, causing panic on the streets.
"Master, don't go out. It's very chaotic outside." The housekeeper bent down and patted the dust on his trouser legs for him.
"The New Year should have a New Year atmosphere, and you should buy everything you need." Meng Liangchao helped him up and pressed him on the chair. "Don't worry, I'm with Adjutant Chen, it's safe."
"I'm an old man, and I want to go out and buy things for you, but I'm old and my memory is a little bad, and I can't find many places." The housekeeper looked bleak and self-loathing.
After getting dressed, Shi Yi stepped downstairs and waved his hand in front of him. "Who said you are old? Only you can understand this new recipe book."
"Recipe?" The housekeeper's eyes lit up and he snatched it away. "Where did it come from?"
"Where else could it come from? I wrote it for you..."
"Okay, go shopping with the young master quickly, I'll cook and wait for you to come back." The housekeeper turned around and walked to the kitchen with the recipe book.
"I still have a way, right?" Shi Yi smiled and took Meng Liangchao's hand, with a clever and complacent expression on his face.
"So smart, so amazing... so cute." Meng Liangchao whispered softly in her ear, "So beautiful."
As expected, the girl's ears turned red and she muttered, "You're talking as if I won't be beautiful if I don't dress up."
"You're beautiful every day, and even more beautiful today." Meng Liangchao stroked her palm.
Shi Yi looked up at him and smiled coquettishly, "Hateful."
Meng Liangchao held her small hand tightly and looked up at the sky outside. It was gloomy with a storm coming, and it was unknown how long it would take to see the sky turn blue.
Outside the door, Adjutant Chen was already waiting for the two of them by the car. In order to be foolproof, they had their men check the place they were going to in advance and sent soldiers to guard the post.
The shops that dared to open on the street now are all old brands with a good reputation, but there are still very few customers. Occasionally, only one or two people can be seen from the glass window. Shi Yi saw the desolation of the street, but did not ask.
"We're here." Adjutant Chen stopped the car. Shi
Yi lifted the car curtain and glanced at the name of the store, "Only Wedding Dress?"
"We promised to hold the wedding in the New Year. Because my father hasn't come back yet, it may be delayed, but you can try the wedding dress first." Meng Liangchao got out of the car first and handed her his hand.
From the glass window, you can see that there is only an elderly lady and her granddaughter in the wedding dress shop.
"You all wait outside." Meng Liangchao led Shi Yi in.
"Yes." Adjutant Chen stopped his foot that was about to step in, and instead reached out to pat the non-existent dust on his shoulder.
"Two distinguished guests, what kind of wedding dress do you want to try?" The old lady put on her reading glasses and came over. Her little granddaughter was still sitting and knitting a sweater.
"Any recommendations?" Shi Yi retracted her gaze from her little granddaughter.
"Oh, don't be surprised. This child can't hear or speak since she was born." The old lady stood in front of Shi Yi and took her a gentian-colored Western wedding dress.
"Try it, it's pretty." Meng Liangchao felt at a glance that she would look good in this wedding dress.
"Okay." Shi Yi took the wedding dress and asked the old lady, "Where do I change?"
"You can change here." The old lady pointed to the corner of the store, "You can change once the curtain is lifted. It's been very chaotic recently, so we removed the changing room inside and set up a temporary one here. Customers can rest assured, and we ordinary people can also rest assured."
"You've thought it through very thoughtfully." Meng Liangchao took the wedding dress and walked to the corner holding Shi Yi's hand, and personally pulled the curtain for Shi Yi.
Shi Yi was changing the wedding dress inside, and he was guarding outside the curtain.
"It's changed." Shi Yi lifted the curtain and came out, and Meng Liangchao's eyes were stunned.
"It's really beautiful." He stammered, "It's more beautiful than I thought."
"Then this one." Shi Yi turned around and went in again. She wanted to change it, but he held her hand.
"Let me look at it for a while." Meng Liangchao hugged her, as carefully as if he owned the most precious thing in the world.
"You two have such a good relationship." The old lady adjusted her reading glasses, walked back to the counter, and started talking to herself, "In the past, the store was doing a booming business, Chinese wedding dresses were popular, and Western wedding gowns were not popular at all. Now, you young people only like Western things, and Chinese wedding dresses are slowly being eliminated."
"Does the store still have Chinese wedding dresses?" Meng Liangchao asked casually.
"Yes. There is one last piece." The old lady pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose. "It was handed down from my great-grandmother's ancestors. It is said that my great-grandmother's great-grandmother made it herself. When I took over this store, I put it in the window. Many people saw it and wanted to try it on, but their figures were destined to be unable to wear it. If you can wear it, you can get a 20% discount on the two sets combined."
"Okay. Then wait for you to take it out and try it on." Meng Liangchao was a little moved after hearing this. He wanted to see what this wedding dress looked like.
Shi Yi's eyes wandered in the store. When he floated to the side of the little girl, the little girl who had not raised her head suddenly raised her head and smiled at her strangely.
