Chapter 270 The enemy of my enemy
"Miss Mo, right?" Before Mo Yunzhu even said anything, Xu Haoqin had guessed who she was. After all, Chang Teng was right next to her, and they had met and talked yesterday.
He nodded to Chang Teng in a friendly manner.
Mo Yunzhu also smiled immediately, and some of the sharpness in her brows disappeared. She was never prickly towards her friends.
"Yes, my name is Mo Yunzhu, Mr. Xu, just call me Yunzhu. Thank you for taking care of Mr. Ji." Mo Yunzhu showed gratitude.
Xu Haoqin immediately waved his hand and said, "Master Ji is Master Zhuo's friend, and I will help him if I can. Miss Mo, there is no need to be polite. Why don't we go across the street to have lunch and chat while we eat?"
"Okay, but I have to be the host today." Mo Yunzhu agreed.
Xu Haoqin smiled even more happily, but shook his head and said, "That won't do. After all, I am the host. How can I treat guests as soon as they arrive? How about the next meal, Miss, treat me?"
Mo Yunzhu laughed dumbly and said without pretense: "Okay, it's a deal! Uncle Huang, when Master Ji comes back, ask him to come to the other side to find us. Oh, Master Zhuo will be here too."
Uncle Huang agreed, and then Mo Yunzhu, Xu Haoqin and Chang Teng went to Quanyun Tavern.
Chang Teng helped the two of them watch the passing carriages, fulfilling his duty as a guard.
Quanyun Tavern is not big, just a two-story old building, but it is very clean, and the seats in the living room are far apart, unlike the Fan family's Huoyan Building where we visited before, where the tables were crowded together in the hall.
"The most famous thing here is Quanzhou brew. The dishes are relatively small, but exquisite. It is generally suitable for friends who like to drink. Young Master Ji liked this place as soon as he came here." Xu Haoqin introduced, "Let's go to the second floor and sit by the railing. You can see the medical clinic."
"Okay." Mo Yunzhu followed him in, then went upstairs to the railing. There was still some time before lunch, and there were no customers on the second floor yet.
There is a small flowerpot on the table with small red flowers, which looks very elegant.
Mo Yunzhu couldn't help but laugh and said, "The shopkeeper here is quite interesting."
"The shopkeeper here is a woman." Xu Haoqin said with a smile.
Mo Yunzhu understood instantly. No wonder there was exquisite beauty everywhere and it was so clean. Even if you didn't eat, it would be very comfortable to come up and sit and have a cup of tea.
Soon, a woman in a purple dress came up with a smile.
"Master Xu, are you free to come over for dinner today?"
The woman looked to be less than 30 years old, with the tenderness of a mature woman. Her eyes were very pretty, and there was a firmness in them.
Although her skin is not that white, she is the most pleasing woman Mo Yunzhu has seen here.
"Sister Shuang, let me introduce you. This is Miss Mo Yunzhu from Qingyun. She is a good friend of Master Ji Xingyun of the new clinic across the street, and also a friend of Master Zhuo." Xu Haoqin said immediately, "Miss, this is the shopkeeper here, Bai Bingshuang. You can just call her Sister Shuang."
"Hey, it's Miss Mo. I've heard Master Xu and Master Ji talk about you before. I didn't expect to see you in person so soon. How come you are so pretty? Your face and skin are really enviable."
Mo Yunzhu smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Shuang is also very beautiful."
Bai Bingshuang smiled so hard that her eyes disappeared. "Oh, you have such a sweet mouth. You guys can chat slowly. I'll go get some special dishes."
"Okay, thank you Sister Shuang." Xu Haoqin said with a smile.
Bai Bingshuang went downstairs. Mo Yunzhu touched his chin and said, "Sister Shuang is a special woman. She must be capable. A woman can open a wine shop and survive in the imperial capital. It can be seen that she is a very good person."
Xu Haoqin nodded and smiled, "Don't underestimate Sister Shuang because she's just a woman. She's a martial artist. She's very strong. Most people wouldn't dare to cause trouble here."
Mo Yunzhu was surprised, it turned out to be another martial arts master.
"It feels like there are many martial arts masters in Chen Kingdom." Mo Yunzhu smiled bitterly. She was just a fake master without any internal strength.
"Chen State is a martial arts country and the largest of the five countries. The people there are quite tough and people from the underworld like to come here," Xu Haoqin explained.
Mo Yunzhu understood this, but she asked, "Sister Shuang, there must be someone behind you, right?"
Xu Haoqin was stunned. Looking at Mo Yunzhu's bright big eyes, he thought that this little girl was really smart.
"No matter how powerful she is, it's always hard for a woman to survive, especially living so freely." Mo Yunzhu took a sip of tea, "Is it you, Master Xu, who's behind the scenes?"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..." Xu Haoqin's handsome face suddenly turned red, and he said with an incredible expression, "You, please don't wrongly accuse me. Sister Shuang and I are innocent."
"Haha, I said you and him were in a relationship. I was talking about whether her backer was Tianji Pavilion."
When Mo Yunzhu said the last three words, her head had already passed half of the table, and her voice was very soft.
"You, how do you know?" Xu Haoqin was shocked. "Did Zhuo Yu tell you?"
Mo Yunzhu saw a hint of vigilance in his eyes and immediately smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Xu. It was Zhuo Yu who told me. Zhuo Yu is like my elder brother, and I won't tell anyone about it. Besides, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Xu Haoqin narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "The enemy of my enemy?"
Mo Yunzhu curled her lips and said, "The royal family of Chen State."
Xu Haoqin frowned slightly, and there was no sound for a while. The atmosphere suddenly became a little frozen.
"Brother Yu told me what you were doing when he saved you. I thought, if your mission was not to assassinate Chen Tianqi, then you and him had an irreconcilable feud. Otherwise, no one would be stupid enough to do such a dangerous thing.
Why do I say I am the enemy of my enemy? You should know the name Jun Huolan. The fifth prince of Qingyun has been a hostage in Chen State for ten years. I don't think I need to tell you how he spent these ten years. Xu Shao should have heard about it. As the future princess of Jun Huolan, I feel sorry for my prince."
Mo Yunzhu said these words to him in a low voice, and then took another sip of tea.
She hadn't thought of coming straight to the point before, but she was so angry about Hong Liang being stabbed by Princess Xiang's minions that she couldn't suppress it, and she needed to vent it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if you keep feeling depressed for too long, you’ll end up suffering from depression.
If she wanted to break through the royal family, she needed someone to help her, and Tianji Pavilion was obviously what she was looking for.
But she would definitely not tell her and Zhuo Yu's true identities for the time being.
"I didn't expect that Zhuo Yu and the eldest lady would trust each other so much." Xu Haoqin really didn't expect it. After all, he knew Zhuo Yu very well, and he would not be the kind of person who would casually tell such a secret.
"Because he and I have a common enemy. You reminded him before that his adoptive father Zhuo Hongli is not a simple person. Now I can tell you that this old guy Zhuo Hongli is no good."
Xu Haoqin was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter. He found Mo Yunzhu to be really interesting.
The two of them just exchanged a few words at the beginning, is it really okay to go so in-depth into the topic?
