He just wanted to keep a low profile and pass by here, and didn't want to alarm the Marshal, but the Marshal was trembling with fear and put on such a big show.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the Marshal took advantage of his seniority and was already at a disadvantage.
"Since you're here, why not sit down and have a meal? Your father and I are old friends, so we can chat about his recent situation."
The restaurant owner smiled on the surface, but rolled his eyes in his heart.
Isn't it an old friend? When they meet, they can't wait to shoot each other's old friends.
…
This meal seemed calm, but in fact it was secretly turbulent.
"This guy is really old, he really needs to accept his age. He can't even hold a gun, so why is he still struggling..."
Wu Zhanqi is old and likes to smoke some high-quality tobacco. He knocked the pipe, as if he felt it was very imposing.
The person from the northern forces next to him tactfully handed over a cigarette.
Chu Luwei reached out to take it, lit it calmly, and held it between two fingers. A wisp of green smoke rose between his fingers, which made his handsome face suddenly look a bit elegant.
"If you can't hold a gun anymore, you can still have a cannon. You never stop learning. The younger generation is still keeping up with the times."
“…”
The north has introduced a new batch of powerful artillery, and this matter has always been on Wu Zhanqi's mind.
He didn't believe it at first, but it was because of this underestimation of the enemy that tens of thousands of his soldiers were defeated and suffered a severe trick.
A trace of murderous intent flashed across Wu Zhanqi's eyes, and the pipe in his hand subconsciously fell on the gun at his waist.
The restaurant owner saw this action with sharp eyes and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.
After a while, Wu Zhanqi seemed to have finally calmed down:
"How is your father now? Let's go visit him, too."
"General, your kindness is great. I, Chu, would like to thank you on behalf of my father... However, I noticed something was amiss when we entered the restaurant. If you are going north, you need to pay more attention to your safety."
Of course, this is not out of concern for Wu Zhanqi.
When they first entered the restaurant, Chu Luwei saw the huge pool of blood. He was not blind, so of course he could see it.
When Wu Zhanqi talked about this matter, a hint of pride and complexity flashed across his eyes.
The riot that just happened in the Ping An Hotel was, of course, something he set up to catch the traitor.
He had also investigated the background of Qing Yuanshan's family. They had been from Xuancheng for generations, but it was hard to say who had planted this traitor in Xuancheng...
Leaving that place untouched is also to serve as a warning to others.
Wu Zhanqi's voice sounded slowly, with a hint of tentativeness in it.
"It's just a small traitor who was caught. The commotion was a bit loud. Could it be that it alarmed Chu kid?"
Chu Luwei had of course heard about that superficial test. He had also heard that the Southern Marshal was attacked while traveling today, but this matter really had nothing to do with him.
The man's dark eyes were bottomless, and his eyebrows didn't even move.
"Since he is a traitor, could you please tell me what he has done?"
Wu Zhanqi didn't notice anything strange in the other person's expression, but when he heard him ask this, a surge of anger suddenly rushed into his heart:
"That family runs an opium den. I heard a while ago that some addictive substance was brought over from the foreigners, and they found it in their house recently... Traitors who profit from national disasters should be killed!"
Chu Luwei raised his eyebrows slightly, not expecting this to be the case.
*****
In a room on the third floor of Ping An Hotel.
There was someone guarding the door, and people were coming and going. It was not until lunchtime that someone came to take over the shift and the door was temporarily cleared.
Feng Wen patted the other person's shoulder and asked him to take over the shift while he stayed on guard. After the person left, he suddenly heard a knock on the door from behind.
“Knock knock knock…”
The man thought that the person lying inside had woken up, but she was just a weak woman and was not on guard, so he was about to open the door to warn her.
But just as he pushed open the door, a knife-handed hand came straight at him and chopped his neck, knocking him unconscious.
Qingdai dragged the person in silently.
The powerful pills produced by the system are really effective.
Qingdai was about to strip the clothes off the unconscious man on the ground, but she heard footsteps in the distance.
Qingdai was shocked and quickly dragged the person under the bed. After hiding the person, she returned to the bed and lay down pretending to be unconscious.
System: Oh no, host, Wu Zhanqi is back.
Qingdai didn't have time to think because the door was pushed open.
She narrowed her eyes and saw someone helping Wu Zhanqi come in.
Wu Zhanqi's hypocritical behavior was, of course, for a certain guy to see. Meeting him in Xuancheng today was an accident, but he couldn't see the purpose of this guy's trip, so he could only find ways to make him stay.
Chu Luwei didn't seem to be in a hurry either, and responded calmly, making it difficult to tell his true intentions.
Wu Zhanqi also had something on his mind, so he hurried back after finishing his meal.
After entering the room, he finally took off his disguise. The person who was holding him immediately let go of his hand, stood aside, and waited respectfully for orders.
"Everyone, go down and pay attention to what's going on over there."
The subordinate knew where "that side" meant, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, Marshal."
All the men left the room, knowing what was about to happen, and closed the door behind them when they left.
Wu Zhanqi finally had some free time and cast his unbridled gaze on the person he had been thinking about on the bed.
Lying on the bed was a quiet cheongsam beauty.
Qing Yuanshan's three generations of ancestors made their fortune by selling opium. They lived a comfortable life, which made her have an elegant and elegant temperament.
The woman on the bed was in her twenties. Her long hair, like crow feathers, was tied into a heart-shaped bun with a crystal clear jade hairpin inserted diagonally. The plain bubble hairpin was a bit dull, but it outlined a good figure on her. Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she was beautiful beyond words.
At this moment, she was lying on a bed covered with floral satin, her almond-shaped eyes as delicate as a swallow's tail tightly closed, truly living up to the saying, as quiet as a virgin, and as graceful as unparalleled.
Wu Zhanqi used countless tricks to get her.
Now her stubborn old man is in jail, and her daughter is in her hands...
Wu Zhanqi slowly approached the bed, ready to reach out and touch the jade-like person. Only when he was mesmerized by the beauty did his guard drop a little, and the hand holding the gun at his waist also stretched out, wanting to hold the stunning cheongsam girl in his arms.
Qingdai has been waiting for this moment!
She grabbed the old man's arms with one hand, bent them back, and kicked out with her long legs, knocking him to the ground.
After all, Wu Zhanqi was a warlord commander. He endured the severe pain in his arm and swept it to the side, making a noise.
The people outside heard a loud clanging noise inside and were about to take a nap, but they were suddenly awakened.
Everyone rushed in only to find the Marshal lying on the ground.
Wu Zhanqi's face was gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.
"She jumped out of the window and ran away, chase her!"

The fruit is here again, guess where the goose girl will run to~~
