Chapter 327: Shopkeeper, Grab Your Weapons
The shopkeeper is not a good person to begin with. How can he be good-tempered when he can control this group of veterans who have retired from the battlefield?
They had never fallen out with Magistrate Zhao before. One reason was that they didn't want to cause trouble for their master, as so many people were wary of him. The other reason was that Magistrate Zhao was sensible and didn't make things difficult for them, so they kept to themselves.
However, this time, County Magistrate Zhao dared to rush directly into their restaurant and shout at them. It seemed that he was dissatisfied with his life and wanted to be reborn as a human being.
Even the young princess ordered them to work hard, so how could they miss this good opportunity?
"Please rest assured, Madam. We will not let you down. Just wait for our good news!"
They are also familiar with killing one or two minor officials.
Su Wanyan nodded, looked at the sky outside, and suddenly asked, "Xiaowu has been out for quite a while, right? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
The shopkeeper also turned to look outside. Although he felt strange, he still replied, "Don't worry, Madam. Miss Xiaowu is one of the top five experts in the master's secret guard camp. Ordinary people can't stop her. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be back by now. Please wait a little longer."
When Su Wanyan heard the words "if nothing unexpected happens", her eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. According to a certain rule, if nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected should happen.
After waiting for another cup of tea, Xiaowu still didn't come back. Su Wanyan stood up and said to the shopkeeper, "Send someone out to check."
The shopkeeper was also a little anxious. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly called someone over and whispered a few words in the man's ear. The man immediately turned around and walked out.
Less than half a cup of tea later, the man returned, his face anxious and flustered. Without even a moment's notice to reply to the shopkeeper, he rushed directly to Su Wanyan and knelt down with a plop. "My Lady, this is bad, something has happened..."
Su Wanyan asked sternly, "What happened?"
The shopkeeper also looked at him nervously.
The man said, "Miss Xiaowu didn't send the Golden Feather Sect away. Instead, she was entangled by five people less than a kilometer away from our restaurant. Judging from their clothing, they must be from the Golden Feather Nation. Miss Xiaowu was seriously injured and one of her hands was broken."
"What?" Su Wanyan couldn't sit still anymore after hearing that. She stood up and started rolling up her sleeves. "You're really a tiger that doesn't show its might. You're treating me like a sick cat. You're bullying me all the time. Shopkeeper, grab your weapons. Today, I'm going to take you all out for a good fight."
Without saying a word, the shopkeeper gathered his men and rushed out with the little princess. Anyone who dared to bully them should die!
Su Wanyan led her group out in a mighty procession. Some people who loved to watch the fun came after hearing the news. Seeing the scene, they followed from a distance. Even the people from Mingyue Restaurant gathered around a woman and couldn't help but be curious.
Su Wanyan was still anxious. All along, it had only been their people who had dealt with others. When had she ever heard of the Secret Guards ever suffering a loss? The fact that Xiaowu had had his arm severed clearly indicated that the other party had used a shady trick.
How could this be allowed? Ji Xiaohan gave Xiaowu to her, so he was hers. This was even worse than someone bullying Ji Xiaohan.
They came very quickly and before they got close, they saw the fight from afar. Xiao Wu was surrounded by five people, all holding long-range attack weapons in their hands, and the Jinyu Sect had already hidden aside to watch the show.
