Chapter 556 Only after you've eaten your fill can you deal with the bad guys when you see them.
"Waiter, please take us to our guest rooms!" Gu Zanli said to the waiter.
"Alright!" the waiter replied immediately.
Gu Zanli pinched Qian's waist and whispered in her ear, "Don't try anything funny!"
Qian tried her best to open her eyes.
Just as she was going upstairs, Qian's eyes finally opened completely.
She also saw that kind and honest figure from behind!
Qian was unable to make a sound, and could not even move her head.
Her eyes slowly rolled around once.
Gu Zanli thought Qian was just looking for an opportunity and didn't take it to heart.
"Mommy, that auntie was looking at us!" Just then, the little boy said, pulling on the chubby body.
The woman called "Mother" turned her head and saw Qian's face.
Her hand paused slightly, but she pretended not to have noticed anything.
"With my size, how normal do people see me? Alright, you two hurry up and go, come back soon!" the fat woman said to the father and son.
"Boss, you're so carefree and well-fed; those who can't even get enough to eat envy you!"
Just then, someone else spoke up.
The woman greeted people with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
She turned out to be the owner of this restaurant.
The people in the shadows exchanged a glance with Gu Zanli and the people from the Underworld, then looked away.
The woman greeted the guests in the front for a while before going to the backyard.
The woman's expression changed instantly as soon as she entered the backyard.
"Xiao Bei, go next door and find Fatty Dong. Tell him that Aunt Qian from Tangjia Village has been arrested!"
This woman was none other than the plump girl who ran a restaurant in An County back then.
But now their restaurants are everywhere.
They came here to visit relatives with their children, while Fatty Dong came to settle accounts.
Today, a highly respected old gentleman is giving a class, so the chubby girl decided to let her son and husband give it a try.
Xiao Bei was a beggar whom the chubby girl had taken in before, and now he runs errands in the lobby.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bei immediately nodded in agreement and turned to leave through the back door.
Greedy Wolf saw this scene from a short distance away, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around and went back.
Fat Girl Restaurant!
He came here on purpose.
The chubby girl wasn't idle either. She had people keep an eye on the group, and while delivering food to them, she also had her own people observe the number of people on the other side.
Fatty Dong was checking the accounts when he heard Xiao Bei looking for him, so he had someone let Xiao Bei in.
Now their third son is in the army; he's not only thinner, but also much more handsome.
Fatty Dong, on the other hand, has gotten even fatter.
Upon hearing Xiao Bei's words, Fatty Dong frowned slightly.
"I understand. Go back now, and take this back to your boss!" Fatty Dong casually handed over a letter.
The letter was about business matters, mainly to cover up the truth.
Sure enough, when Xiao Bei returned, the letter had been stolen.
Before long, Guzali received the letter.
I only glanced at it and then didn't pay it any mind.
“We’ll travel by water tomorrow; it’ll be faster!” Gu Zanli put down the letter in her hand and looked at the man in front of her.
"Hmm!" the man replied curtly, his eyes revealing no emotion.
Gu Zanli raised an eyebrow and then said, "Greedy Wolf, why do you work so hard for the Yama Palace? We've been cooperating for so long, why don't you come to our Western Regions? Whatever you want, I can find a way to give you!"
Tanlang glanced at Gu Zanli indifferently, then helped Qian Shi up and fed her some tea.
Madam Qian quietly sipped her tea, pretending not to notice the subtle exchange between the two.
Gu Zanli frowned slightly, not quite approving of Tanlang's treatment of Qian Shi.
A moment later, a man walked in from outside.
When he saw Guzali, he immediately knelt down.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" The man knelt on one knee.
"Has Tang Bugui caught up with them?"
They had left themselves with many weaknesses, so Tang Bugui should be able to catch up with them.
The man immediately said, "They're coming. It will take them another half a day to catch up. Our men will ambush them on the way, so they should be slower."
Guzali breathed a slight sigh of relief, a glint of light in her eyes.
They wanted Tang Bugui to keep chasing them, but they couldn't let him actually catch up.
This man is far too powerful; I simply cannot handle him.
but……
Gu Zanli looked at Tanlang beside her, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Tanlang, your King Yama said that you have to listen to me for the time being... I want you to do something for me!"
Gu Zanli smiled slightly, a hint of something unreadable in her eyes.
Tanlang helped Qian wipe her mouth clean and then casually put a pill into her mouth.
He placed the person down, and then looked up.
"explain!"
Tanlang looked at Guzanli.
Guzali raised an eyebrow, her eyes carrying a hint of coldness.
However, as if she had thought of something, Gu Zanli still smiled and said, "Tang Bugui and his men are too powerful. My men can't stop them. I need you to lead men to stop them in this city!"
Guzali approached Tanlang and gently reached out to put her hand on his shoulder.
Greedy Wolf turned his body to the side and dodged her hand.
Gu Zanli's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of coldness flashing within them.
"good!"
Greedy Wolf responded, then opened the window and jumped out.
The next moment, a very ordinary-looking man walked towards Tanlang.
Greedy Wolf whispered a few words in that man's ear.
The person then disappeared into the crowd.
Guzali narrowed her eyes, showing an increasing appreciation for the Yama Palace!
Such a powerful force that can persist despite suppression in various countries is indeed not to be underestimated.
but……
Thinking of her purpose, the light in her eyes intensified.
A moment later, Tanlang returned, carrying two portions of pastries: one was peach shortbread, and the other was a beautifully shaped fruit.
Guzali only glanced at it, but didn't pay much attention to it.
The two rested quietly in the room.
Guzali was also extremely tired, and she fell asleep next to Qian Shi.
After finishing the pastries, Tanlang looked at Qian Shi, who still had her eyes closed.
I've been leading the Qian family this whole way, they must be exhausted.
However, Tanlang sighed and stuffed a fruit into Qian's mouth.
Qian ate quietly without resisting.
Even though the effects of the drug on her body were not as strong as before, she was still very quiet.
On the other side, Fatty Dong led his men to the yamen first.
Not knowing who the other party was, he did not reveal Qian's identity for the time being, only saying that Qian was an elder in his family.
The county magistrate was quite accommodating and dispatched a number of yamen runners over.
Fatty Dong was worried that the other side had too many people.
After all, given Qian's current status, the person who could capture her would probably not be an ordinary person.
Fatty Dong then hired a security escort agency and spent money to bring over a number of thugs.
However, when they arrived, the restaurant was already deserted.
The fat girl and everyone in the restaurant had fallen unconscious.
Unwilling to give up, Fatty Dong led his men to search everywhere again.
But at this moment, these people, who had taken away a lot of food and replenished their supplies, changed their clothes and carriages and left the county town.
When Gu Zanli and her group left, they happened to run into the constables who were arresting people at the Fat Girl's Restaurant.
Her face looked terrible, and her gaze toward Tanlang held an extremely complex emotion.
"Since you know they're problematic, why don't you kill them!"
Gu Zanli looked at Tanlang angrily and asked.
Tanlang raised his eyelids, glanced indifferently at Gu Zanli, and then said, "No money!"
Guzali...
She no longer wanted to talk to this expressionless and cold-blooded man.
This greedy wolf seems unable to muster any emotion no matter what he does.
"Hmph!" Guzali was too lazy to say anything more!
She glanced at Madam Qian, who was quite old. Although she wasn't exactly old and faded, she wasn't much better off.
After all, Qian has been running the household for so many years, and she is indeed not young anymore.
Gu Zanli didn't say anything more, while Xiao Su Bao and the others had already arrived in the county town.
The little girl saw the fat girl and Fatty Dong, but unexpectedly missed the Qian family.
Little Su Bao's usually invincible senses were completely useless this time.
"Sigh, it's all my fault. If I were any more capable, I wouldn't have let them escape!"
The chubby girl felt a little annoyed and even more sorry for Xiao Su Bao and Aunt Qian.
Little Su Bao pursed her lips, her heart filled with worry for her mother, but she shook her head slightly on the surface.
"This has nothing to do with my sister!"
After Xiao Su Bao finished speaking, she didn't have time for pleasantries and said, "Fat Sister, if you have time, you can go to the capital. I met an aunt who looks very much like you!"
The chubby girl was taken aback, then paused.
She knew she was adopted, and her adoptive parents were no longer around. They said that her mother had only temporarily left her with them, but their area had been flooded.
Later, various natural disasters struck, and her adoptive parents had no choice but to take her with them to escape.
Before the chubby girl could respond, she saw a sign that Xiao Su Bao had left for her.
Xiao Su Bao and Yun Mo have already left again.
The two of them didn't care about anything else!
The little girl hadn't been able to release the white dragon before because there were so many people around.
It was already night, and the little girl released the white dragon, which led her, Mo Bao, and two guards in pursuit from the sky.
Little Su Bao held Mo Bao's hand and started calculating again.
"Huh?" Guzali, sitting in the carriage, looked down at her lower abdomen.
Actually, he was looking at the stone in his arms.
This is the umpteenth time already!
Ever since they captured Qian, this stone has been moving around frequently and has become ice-cold.
This is the first time in a long time that I've moved so violently!
Guzali gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen, silently reciting something.
Slowly, the stone returned to its previous calm state.
Tanlang glanced at Gu Zanli before looking away, and stuffed a piece of peach blossom pastry into Qian's mouth.
Seeing that Qian had almost finished eating, they would give her water.
Guzali just rolled her eyes and ignored it.
Behind them, in the sky, Little Su Bao suddenly opened her eyes, her chest heaving.
I almost couldn't figure it out myself just now, but thankfully the young man helped me.
Little Su Bao took a deep breath, then patted the little white dragon's head and said, "Let's go north!"
They came from the east, but now those people are heading north, and no one knows where they're going.
Because of his escape years ago, Yunmo was fairly familiar with the route here.
After a moment's thought, he guessed where these people were going.
"I think I know where they're going!"
Sitting on the little white dragon, Yunmo thought for a moment and said, "We can go a little earlier so we can make arrangements!"
The most likely reason for arresting the Qian family is that they are connected to the Yama Palace.
The Underworld has been far too active lately; no one knows what they'll do next.
There are too many followers in the Yama Palace, and no one knows who the person in front of you is.
After all, some followers did not harm anyone; they even believed that the underworld would save people.
Therefore, even for a child like Xiao Su Bao, it's difficult to tell whether a person is good or bad just by looking at their face.
After thinking about it, Xiao Su Bao felt that what Yun Mo said seemed to make sense, and followed along almost without hesitation.
Before dawn, Xiao Su Bao and his friends arrived at the nearest dock.
There are quite a few ships docked here.
Xiao Su Bao and Yun Mo pretended to be two young masters and ladies from wealthy families, with two bodyguards following them.
Little Su Bao was wearing a veiled hat, but the appearance of her little face had also changed.
Yunmo's face was different too; it was darker and uglier.
"This place is close to the sea, and there's plenty of delicious seafood. Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Yunmo asked Xiaosubao.
Little Su Bao rubbed her tummy; she was really hungry!
Her body was already in a state of deficiency, and in order to find Qian Shi, she exhausted all her strength.
"Eat!" Su Bao said rather absentmindedly.
The little girl looked a bit tired, unlike her usual energetic self.
Seeing the little girl's appearance, Yunmo took her hand and led her to a nearby stall.
As they walked, she said, "Aunt Qian will definitely be alright, don't scare yourself!"
"Besides, you can only deal with bad guys after you've eaten your fill and seen them!"
"Grandpa, can we have all of your seafood porridge?"
Yunmo asked the old man.
"Yes, yes!"
The old man making the seafood porridge was naturally very happy. He only earned a little money after a month of hard work, and this big pot of porridge only cost him about twenty coins.
"You go and rest first. You can clean up after we've finished eating!"
Yunmo took out one tael of silver and handed it to the old man.
The old man left happily.
He didn't go far; he stopped to help another vendor.
Mo Bao made a bowl of thick seafood porridge for Xiao Su Bao, and you could see some small shrimp and crab meat in it.
These are all things they often use to make seafood porridge.
Little Su Bao blew on the rice porridge, not caring about the heat, and started slurping it down.
Mo Bao served a bowl to the two guards as well, and then served himself one.
After they finished the pot of porridge, the old man couldn't help but run over and ask, "My wife also made seafood pancakes. Young master and young lady, would you like to try some?"
He had been holding back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but come over and ask.
Just as Xiao Su Bao was about to speak, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye.
