When they returned to the inn, Tian Yingying looked at him strangely, Zhao Huan gave her an ambiguous smile, and Linghu Yunlong followed respectfully behind.
"Who is he?" Tian Yingying asked. She could tell something was wrong.
"Oh, my distant relative." Zhao Huan pointed at Linghu Yunlong and said, "Foolish man, come and seek refuge with me. Can you accept him?"
This dog emperor actually called himself a fool. Zhao Huan said so, Linghu Yunlong had no choice but to pretend to be a fool: "Hehehe..."
Zhao Huan almost laughed out loud at Linghu Yunlong's silly look. You know what, this guy really looks like a mentally retarded idiot when he's pretending. Linghu Yunlong's eyes were dull, and he almost drooled. He giggled foolishly at everyone he saw.
Tian Yingying believed it immediately: "What are you talking about? As long as I, Tian Yingying, have food to eat, he won't starve. But, how did he find this place?"
One lie requires countless lies to cover it up. Zhao Huan was stunned. What excuse should he come up with to cover it up? If Linghu Yunlong was stupid, how did he find his way here?
Fortunately, Linghu Yunlong noticed something was wrong and interrupted them, saying, "I'm hungry."
Zhao Huan was as if he had been pardoned: "Oh, he's hungry. Big Mouth! Big Mouth! Give him two steamed buns."
Linghu Yunlong had never imagined that Zhao Huan would be in such a small inn, and that he would be reduced to a handyman. Being ordered around by the female innkeeper was completely different from the usual high and mighty dog emperor, who Linghu Yunlong found it difficult to adapt.
"Zhao Xiaolong, go move the table from the Peony Room upstairs and move it to the living room." Tian Yingying ordered.
Linghu Yunlong was stunned. This was the emperor. Zhao Huan glanced at Linghu Yunlong and was stunned. Tian Yingying urged: "Go quickly!"
Zhao Huan scratched his head and pointed at Linghu Yunlong: "You, come with me and move the table."
When the two of them arrived at the room, Zhao Huan whispered, "Don't tell anyone about what happened here, or I'll kill your entire clan!"
Linghu Yunlong: "Your Majesty, I don't even know where my nine clans are."
Zhao Huan said angrily, "Then I will send your delicate little wife to the border to wash clothes for the soldiers. Don't forget that I was the one who arranged your marriage. Do you want to burn your bridges?"
Linghu Yunlong whispered even more quietly: "I dare not. But, that, that female shopkeeper?" He understood a little that the dog emperor had taken a fancy to her.
"What are you doing? Hurry up." Tian Yingying urged downstairs.
Zhao Huan pushed him: "Stop talking nonsense, go!"
Linghu Yunlong reluctantly carried the large square table downstairs. As soon as he arrived, Zhao Huan immediately followed him leisurely like a big boss, leaving all the heavy work to Linghu Yunlong.
Tian Yingying couldn't stand it any longer: "Why do you always bully him? What kind of relative is he to you?"
"He," Zhao Huan was thinking, Linghu Yunlong was much older than him: "He is my cousin."
Tian Yingying frowned: "He is your cousin, and yet you still do this. You should not bully him. I'm going to the kitchen to pick vegetables. Sweep the door again, but you can't let him do it, do it yourself!" She did not forget to remind Zhao Huan, and then went to the kitchen.
Zhao Huan stared at her back blankly. Who wouldn't like such a kind-hearted girl?
"She is very good." Linghu Yunlong suddenly said.
Zhao Huan glanced at him and nodded: "Yes, yes, she is really good, I like her very much."
It was rare to receive a compliment from Linghu Yunlong. He also thought Tian Yingying was great, so she must be really great. I will definitely, definitely get her! Zhao Huan vowed secretly.
The dinner was very sumptuous, specially prepared by Tian Yingying. She happily raised her glass and said, "Come on, let's toast to Zhao Xiaolong and his cousin's reunion!"
Ever since Zhao Huan said Linghu Yunlong was his cousin, Linghu Yunlong got the title "cousin."
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses.
Big Mouth said happily, "Boss, our inn is becoming more and more lively now. It's a pity that Lao Zhang is not here. Come, let me toast to Master Zhao!"
The Lao Zhang he was talking about was a cook. His wife was in confinement after giving birth to a son for him, so the cook was not at the party tonight.
Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment: "Big Mouth, why are you toasting me?"
Big Mouth's eyes were filled with tears. "To be honest, since you came, our shopkeeper has been much happier than before. Since then, alas, I haven't seen the shopkeeper smile. Yes, it's you. Thank you!"
Big Mouth's words were somewhat incoherent. Such an open and blatant confession made Tian Yingying a little shy. She pushed Big Mouth and said, "You must have drunk too much."
Big Mouth wiped his tears and laughed, "Yes, yes, I drank too much. I drank it!"
Zhao Huan looked at Tian Yingying, her face flushed with shyness, which made him very happy. To ease the awkward atmosphere, Zhao Huan patted Linghu Yunlong on the shoulder and said, "Don't underestimate my cousin, he's a good martial artist. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just ask him for help."
'Bang bang bang' There was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"A guest is coming. I'll go open the door." Dazui was a money-grubber, but Tian Yingying stopped him and said, "Excuse me, sir, we're closed. Please go somewhere else."
"I'm not here to stay in the hotel." It was Meng Gurao's voice.
Everyone was startled, and Tian Yingying hurried out to open the door: "Master Meng, what brings you here?" she greeted him warmly.
Meng Gu Rao smiled and said, "It's the aroma of your wine that attracted me here, Young Master Zhao." Then he bowed deeply to Zhao Huan.
Tian Yingying was very surprised and didn't understand why Meng Gurao was so polite to Zhao Xiaolong, and Zhao Xiaolong just nodded with a clear conscience.
