Chapter 481 If you like me, you can just tell me.
Tang Bugui glanced at them and then said, "One of each, please!"
After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Su Bao and said, "Give me another big bowl of rice!"
Ya Ying wanted to say something, but seeing their expressions, she didn't say the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
After Ya Ying left, only the group of people remained. Tang Bugui picked up Xiao Su Bao and sat her down beside him.
He looked at the little baby in his arms and asked gently, "Do you know this Miss Ya Ying?"
Xiao Su Bao looked away from Ya Ying's retreating figure.
She then said, "Yes, we know each other!"
She briefly recounted how she and the mute old woman had come for treatment.
"Who exactly is that mute old woman of yours? How could she be so powerful!"
Zhou Zhenghai stroked his beard, but something came to mind.
Two years ago, I went to Xicheng and met an old woman with a child there.
There were two figures from behind, and with just one glance, he felt that something was wrong.
But when he went to look for them again, the grandmother and grandson had disappeared.
Zhou Zhenghai looked at Xiao Su Bao, secretly wondering if this was really the same person...
He then figured some things out.
“Grandma is just a mute!” Little Su Bao looked at Zhou Zheng Hai with confusion in her eyes.
Zhou Zhenghai... why did he even ask a child that question?!
He nodded and then went to the side in a sullen manner.
Seeing Zhou Zhenghai's expression, the Third Prince laughed.
He shook his head slightly, but he was already planning to have someone investigate this mute old woman.
This old lady seems to know everything...
While the group was talking, Hong Qing and Hong Yue had already brought out seven or eight roast ducks.
Its surface has a red, oily texture.
When it was taken out, a rich aroma wafted towards me.
This made everyone swallow hard.
"This little girl's roast duck tastes amazing!"
Hong Qing's kind and gentle voice came through.
She placed the roast duck on a plate to the side.
This roast duck is sliced and served with scallion sauce and small pancakes.
"General, shall I cut the blade?"
Hong Yue eagerly spoke to her general.
Tang Bugui shook his head. Hong Yue was alright looking and had a sweet voice, but just like Wang Xiuer, she was a kitchen disaster.
Just as Hong Qing was about to make a move, he saw Xiao Su Bao walk over.
The little girl had already put the mask on her head, making her look incredibly cute.
Little Su Bao called out to Tang Bugui in a sweet, babyish voice, "Daddy, Su Bao is here!"
The mute old woman herself said that her knife skills were excellent.
Tang Bugui thought about it and didn't stop him.
Be careful not to hurt your hands!
Tang Bugui gave a word of advice, and Zhou Zhenghai, who was standing to the side, immediately widened his eyes.
Although he is also single and doesn't have a wife or children, he still understands the basic common sense of raising children.
Who would let a five-year-old child chop vegetables?
Isn't this ridiculous?!
"General Tang, are you... stupid...?"
Zhou Zhenghai couldn't help but say to Tang Bugui.
Tang Bugui raised an eyebrow and glanced at Zhou Zhenghai, too lazy to pay him any attention.
Just then, Xiao Su Bao grabbed the knife next to her and gently touched the duck skin with her little hand, feeling that the temperature was just right.
With a swift movement, the little dumpling sliced off a thin piece of duck skin, which landed on a plate beside her.
Before Zhou Zhenghai could finish speaking, the little girl deftly sliced up a duck.
Before anyone else could speak, the little girl quickly finished processing all the ducks behind her.
When Ya Ying remembered this, she hurriedly came out.
But what you see is Xiao Su Bao's skillful knife work.
Are all the little brothers these days this amazing?
She swallowed hard, but ultimately said nothing more.
Seeing that she wasn't needed here for the time being, the young girl hurried back to cook.
Before long, Xiao Su Bao had cleaned all seven or eight roast ducks, leaving only the white duck meat.
She swallowed hard and subconsciously looked at the others.
Everyone was staring at Xiao Su Bao at that moment, and when she looked up, they all looked over.
"Little general, you're amazing!" Hong Qing exclaimed excitedly, her eyes wide with delight.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hong Yue nodded in agreement, looking enviously at the knife in Xiao Su Bao's hand. Why was it that when she held the knife to cut vegetables, it seemed to have its own ideas?
When I killed someone, the knife was so obedient!
Could it be that I'm not suited to this kind of knife?
While Hong Yue was lost in thought, Xiao Su Bao had already put the rest of the ducks aside.
Looking at one of the roast ducks that had already had its skin removed, she couldn't help but ask, "Daddy, can Su Bao eat this?"
Tang Bugui was slightly taken aback, then reached out and touched the little girl's hair: "Of course!"
Little Su Bao's face immediately lit up with a bright smile.
Her tummy was very hungry...
"This duck meat can be made into other dishes, young master. Would you like to try some of the dishes I've made first?"
Just then, Ya Ying came over carrying a plate of food.
Zhou Zhenghai couldn't bear to see the little girl suffer, so he stepped over and took the tray.
On top are two servings of eight-treasure duck, two servings of braised duck neck, and two servings of stir-fried duck feet...
Almost all of them are dishes related to duck.
Little Su Bao's nose twitched as she looked at the food, her stomach growling even hungrier.
"Young master, shall I take these ducks down and prepare them for you gentlemen in three different ways?"
The little girl was slightly taken aback when she saw the duck skin that Xiao Su Bao had cleaned.
This knife skill is even better than that of their master!
Little Su Bao hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
Tang Bugui carried the little girl to the table, and the Third Prince and the others also sat down.
The two Hong sisters and the remaining guards and maids went to the next table.
Everyone immediately began to enjoy the meal.
On the other hand, Su Shan encountered some trouble at this moment.
He originally planned to come to the west side of the city first to help the girl find someone.
To his surprise, when he arrived at the big locust tree, he didn't find the man named Chen Api, but instead saw Princess Emil.
Princess Emil was brought over by her maid, and the two of them were in such a hurry that they didn't bring a single guard with them.
Su Shan had no choice but to follow.
After all, Amir is here for a marriage alliance, and if something unexpected happens, it will be difficult to explain to the Western Regions Kingdom.
However, when he caught up with the two, he was surprised to find that Guzamli had knocked Emil unconscious.
Seven or eight burly men suddenly appeared on their side.
Emil was taken to a poor family.
It was a room with a courtyard, and the interior was very cramped.
Su Shan thought to himself that something was wrong, but then hid in the shadows.
Just then, Su Shan overheard a conversation between two people inside.
Guzali spoke up: "You all keep a close eye on Princess Emil for me. I'll come and pick her up once I'm done with what I'm doing here!"
"Gu Zanli, we've already arrested them, why not just kill them all? Why are you coming to pick them up... isn't that just pointless?" a man's voice rang out.
"You dare touch her!" Gu Zanli acted instantly, grabbing the man's throat.
The man was breathing heavily and was about to die when Guzali stopped.
"No one is allowed to touch Princess Amel, she is the most noble princess in our Western Regions!"
Guzali gave the person who spoke a cold look.
"Do as I say, or I will kill you!"
Gu Zanli and the others spoke a language from the Western Regions. If Su Shan hadn't been fluent in various languages, he probably wouldn't have known what they were saying at all.
After Guzanli left, the man gave her a sinister look before reluctantly turning back into the cabin.
They locked Emil in the woodshed.
They bought some food and started feasting on it.
"Boss, do you think the people of the Great Shang Kingdom won't find out that we've captured Princess Emil?"
One of the men couldn't help but ask.
"Alright, don't worry, it won't happen!"
The man who was almost strangled to death said something in an annoyed tone.
Su Shan stood by the side the whole time and saw that there were a total of six people inside. Two of the men did not drink any alcohol and sat quietly to the side the whole time.
These two are the best at kung fu. Of the remaining four, two are women, and the other two are busy preparing food for the others.
The two remaining men were already quite drunk.
"You two should drink less, lest you delay things upstairs!" said one of the men who hadn't been drinking.
"Get lost! You're just a thug. Mind your own business!" The man who had been talking to Gu Zanli earlier glared at the man who had spoken earlier.
The man glanced at the man, but said nothing more, and simply sat down quietly to eat.
Su Shan frowned, but this was also his chance.
Taking advantage of the fact that these people were not paying attention, he quietly walked towards the woodshed where Emil was being held.
The windows of the woodshed were nailed shut, and the door was secured with a large padlock.
Su Shan frowned slightly. Suddenly, he noticed that the woodshed seemed to be connected to the neighboring yard.
Su Shan jumped directly to the next room.
The family isn't home right now; they're probably out working.
Su Shan pried open the lock on their woodshed.
Upon entering the woodshed, Su Shan frowned slightly.
Although the two woodsheds were connected, the walls were filled with firewood.
In that case, I won't be able to get there!
Just as Su Shan was feeling troubled, he suddenly saw a puppy...
The puppy actually crawled out of the woodpile.
Su Shan was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked over.
Just then, Su Shan discovered a dog hole.
Several puppies bared their teeth at Su Shan.
Su Shan didn't mind. He observed for a moment, then carefully secured the firewood hole before climbing over.
As soon as he arrived, something soft was placed on his head.
Before Su Shan could react, he heard the woman's muffled groan.
"Hmm... Guzali..." Emil opened her eyes in confusion and glanced around.
Emil felt as if someone had touched her bottom, and she jumped up in fright.
That's when her foot landed right on Su Shan's hand.
Su Shan...
What exactly is going on here?
“Princess Emil, quiet down, I am Su Shan!” Su Shan quickly spoke up.
Emil was taken aback, but then her eyes reddened as she looked at Su Shan with a wronged expression.
She glared at Su Shan and couldn't help but whisper, "If you like me, you can just tell me. You don't need to lock me up!"
Su Shan...
I like it my ass!
Su Shan rolled her eyes and said, "Princess Emil, are you out of your mind? It was your maid who knocked you unconscious and threw you here, it has nothing to do with me!"
Emil's expression changed slightly. He rubbed the back of his head and remembered what had happened before.
Her expression changed slightly, and she reached out to pull Su Shan up.
"No, don't touch me!" Su Shan's expression changed slightly; a certain part of his body had scraped against the ground and was a little sore.
Emil paused, squatted down in front of Su Shan, and looked aggrieved.
She wasn't wearing many clothes to begin with, and after taking them off, she felt chilly all over.
“You’ll crawl through here later!” Su Shan said to Emil.
Emil nodded, then, as if remembering something, took a bead off his neck.
She opened the beads and poured some powder towards the doorway.
Su Shan had already retreated by this time.
Knowing that people from the Western Regions were skilled in using medicine, he sped up his pace even more.
Emil glanced at the hole, then bent over limply, and easily climbed out.
Just then, Emil felt the door behind him open.
Her expression changed slightly, and she became even more anxious.
This time, however, she accidentally bumped into a pile of timber, which fell down and hit her ankle.
"What's that sound!"
A man's exclamation came from outside. The person who had just opened the door changed his expression, and then his whole demeanor turned sour.
The next moment, he turned around with a lewd grin.
Emil didn't care about cleanliness and crawled through the dog hole.
Su Shan grabbed Emil's hand and pulled him over.
Emil was slightly taken aback, but the next moment, he felt a pain in his ankle.
"Oh no, my foot has been injured."
Sure enough, the ankle that used to have bells swelled up, and the fair skin was now a bluish-purple color.
Su Shan's expression changed slightly, and his brows furrowed.
"Princess, please forgive me!"
Su Shan was very upset, but she still reached out and picked up Emil.
As soon as she moved, the bells on her feet jingled incessantly, and Su Shan yanked the two strings of bells off.
"You!" Princess Emil exclaimed in surprise, her cheeks flushing red.
She held Su Shan's neck tightly with her hands.
Su Shan was taken aback, and looked at Emil with a slight frown.
"What's wrong?" He did this to prevent them from being caught.
Emilton paused, his face flushing slightly.
Su Shan...
That princess isn't very bright!
When he left, he threw a silver ingot directly into the master's house.
After doing all this, he turned and left with Emil in his arms.
What he didn't see was that Emil's gaze toward him had become increasingly affectionate.
At this moment, Emil leaned entirely against Su Shan.
Only her future husband could remove the anklet from her ankle.
This is a rule of their Western Regions Kingdom.
But now...
Emil looked at Su Shan, his eyes flickering slightly.
The two had just left when several people rushed out from next door. The man who had been drugged by the powder had already been knocked unconscious.
"Damn it, Emil got away!"
The man in the lead had an extremely gloomy face and looked quite unwell.
“This is a slum. With what she’s wearing, she can’t possibly run very far!” another man said.
There were originally four men, but now there are only three left.
The three of them were no match for Su Shan in terms of skill.
The two ran to the big locust tree and saw a man leaning against it from afar, shaking.
Su Shan instinctively shouted, "Do you know Chen Api?"
The man was taken aback and turned to look at Su Shan.
Upon seeing someone you don't know, you immediately want to say you don't know them.
But then Su Shan said, "It was Su Bao who asked me to find you. She's the little girl who's with the mute old woman!"
The mute old woman... the little girl...
That mute girl's name is Su Bao!
That's a beautiful name!
Chen Api threw the shoes on the ground and stuffed his dark toes directly into them.
"I am Chen Api. What does the mute sister want from me?"
Chen Api hadn't seen his mute sister for a long time. Before, many people in the area were sick, but no doctor was willing to treat them.
Who told them to be penniless? They're all poor bastards!
"She didn't say anything, just told me to contact you, but I'm in some trouble right now!"
"Can you have someone block those people behind us?" Su Shan was also injured, and it was difficult for him to carry Princess Emil away.
"This is simple!"
Chen Api stood at the alley entrance and said, "Grandpas and grandmas, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, the mute sister is back!"
Just moments ago, those houses with their doors tightly shut suddenly began to creak open.
"Where's the mute little sister?" a seven or eight-year-old boy cried out.
Then came a variety of sounds.
Su Shan, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback, but before he could say anything, he saw what it meant for the streets to be deserted.
Su Shan was slightly taken aback, and then she heard Chen Api say, "Let's go quickly. Oh, and by the way, tell the mute girl to come back and visit when she has time. Everyone misses her!"
Su Shan glanced at Chen Api with a complicated expression, then nodded decisively.
The three people who had just caught up were immediately blocked behind them.
They didn't bring many people with them; the rest had all gone out to run errands.
Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this...
"Get out of my way!" The leader's face was extremely ugly as he shouted at an old woman in front of him.
"This road was built by our family, why should we give way? I'm not giving way, you try and get over me if you dare!"
The old woman turned her head and glared at the eldest brother, then put her hands on her hips.
Instantly, many men, women, and children turned around to look, their expressions quite ferocious.
The leader's expression changed, and he was about to make a move.
But in the next instant, a group of burly men carrying machetes surrounded them.
"I've been watching you outsiders for days. Today I even saw you grab a young girl. Brothers, arrest them and send them to the authorities!"
The leading man shouted.
The leader's expression changed instantly.
He never expected that something like this would happen.
He wanted to explain, but before he could speak, the crowd around him started muttering all sorts of things.
"Damn it!" The leader's face was extremely gloomy as he watched the man take Emil away!
"Get out of my way!"
He roared and then pulled a long whip from his waist.
At this moment, he no longer cared about capturing Emil and the others; all he wanted now was to leave this place as quickly as possible.
These troublemakers are too ruthless!
He can't just kill them all!
If I were to actually do that, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to save my life.
Chen Api touched his nose, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Although the people here are a bit poor and a bit unruly, they are loyal and righteous!
Little Su Bao has saved them so many times, so they're willing to risk everything for her!
Moreover, Chen Api believed that those people wouldn't dare to do anything to them.
Just as that simpleton said, they had been paying attention to these people for a long time.
If these people want to leave here safely, we definitely can't go and arrest them anymore.
As darkness fell, these impoverished people from the West District vanished without a trace.
The men's faces were now extremely gloomy.
They never expected these people to be so ruthless!
If these people hadn't had no intention of arresting them, they probably would have really been caught.
"Boss, what do we do now?" a man behind him asked.
"Get out of here, get out of here right now!" He had a bad feeling, and now that they hadn't completed Guzanli's mission, that woman might harm them.
Women from the Western Regions are known for their fondness for poisons; they'd better not get involved.
They left with their brother, who had been cured of the poison. The two old women were hired, and they were given money to leave directly.
After they left, the old woman turned and went to find Guzanli.
On the other side, Su Shan had already left with Emil, originally intending to send Emil back.
"Guzanli wants to harm me. Sending me back is like throwing a lamb to the wolves. It would have been better not to have rescued me in the first place!"
Emil wrapped his arms around Su Shan's neck and said pitifully.
Left with no other choice, Su Shan could only leave with Emil.
Little Su Bao seemed to sense something; she raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of Su Shan and the others.
"What are you looking at?" Tang Bugui asked, looking at his daughter.
Inside Ya Bao Lou, after finishing the last bite of duck meat, Xiao Su Bao looked up at her father.
"It's nothing!" Little Su Bao shook her head.
Then the little dumpling thought of a few people and looked at her father: "Daddy, can we pack some roast duck? I want to take it to Brother Api and the others!"
Little Su Bao raised her eyes and looked at Tang Bugui pitifully.
Brother Api helped Xiaosubao before. When Xiaosubao and Grandma Dumb went to see a doctor, Brother Api would give her delicious treats.
Although each meeting was short, Brother Api would always smile at me.
They won't be mean to themselves or dislike them.
"Okay!" Tang Bugui agreed without even thinking!
It's just some roast duck; he can afford to send it.
Ya Ying, who was standing to the side, now knew the identities of Tang Bugui and the Third Prince, and her eyes were filled with gratitude.
Hearing Xiao Su Bao's words, she immediately said, "Take as much roast duck as you like here, I can make even more!"
Ya Ying's lips curled up, and tears of gratitude welled up in her eyes.
Just then, anxious voices came from the backyard.
"Ying'er...cough cough..." The person coughed violently after only one call.
Little Su Bao subconsciously looked over and saw Manager Ya.
When Manager Ya saw so many people in front of him, he was slightly taken aback, but then his expression changed.
Seeing his little girl on the verge of tears, his heart ached terribly.
He quickly abandoned the servant and rushed over.
"Ying'er, how are you? Did they bully you?"
Manager Ya watched them warily, but paused slightly when he saw Xiao Su Bao.
Although Xiao Su Bao's appearance has changed a lot, the little girl is now fair-skinned, taller, and has a smile on her face.
But no matter how you look at it, this little guy looks a lot like the mute little boy who delivered his daughter.
"Young lady, who are you?!" The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Su Bao and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"What girl? This is Su Bao's little brother!"
Ya Ying said from the side.
She was still young then, and because it was night, she couldn't see Xiao Su Bao's appearance clearly at all.
Just as Manager Ya was about to say something, he suddenly started coughing violently.
Little Su Bao got up and ran over with her short legs.
She grabbed Manager Ya's hand and pinched his groin.
Then the little girl said, "Take a deep breath, don't rush, yes..."
Little Su Bao pulled a silver needle from her bosom and stuck it directly into Manager Ya's tiger's mouth.
Manager Ya, who had been feeling very uncomfortable, let out a long sigh of relief.
He was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at Xiao Su Bao.
Did I really admit my mistake?
But why are there two people in the world who are so similar?
Before Manager Ya could speak, a woman's voice came from behind him: "Father, little sister!"
A young woman dressed as a teenager ran in carrying a child who looked to be about one year old.
The child was dressed in thick clothes, which made his little face look even thinner.
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up when she saw the babies she had delivered.
But the next moment, the little dumpling's brows furrowed.
"This child seems to have a high fever, why are you dressing him so warmly?" Xiao Su Bao hurriedly ran over.
The child's face was flushed, but he didn't break a sweat at all.
"Ah..." The woman was slightly taken aback when she heard Xiao Su Bao's words, and then took a step back, looking at Xiao Su Bao warily.
She also knew that someone had been eyeing their restaurant recently.
She would definitely have come if her child hadn't been sick and she hadn't been unable to leave.
Who knew my little sister would actually...
Seeing that her younger sister was alright, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked away and then noticed Xiao Su Bao's face.
Why does this little girl seem so familiar to me? It's like she's the child who delivered my baby years ago.
Even now, she still vividly remembers what that child looked like.
"Are you the mute sister?"
The girl looked at Xiao Su Bao and asked instinctively.
"I'm not mute..."
Xiao Su Bao pursed her lips and still offered an explanation.
The woman was taken aback and was about to speak when she heard Xiao Su Bao say, "I just couldn't speak at the time!"
Little Su Bao was a little embarrassed, with a hint of guilt in her eyes.
"You really are that child!" The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Su Bao with a face full of surprise.
Tang Bugui looked at Xiao Subao, then at the family, and was very curious about Xiao Subao's past.
When Xiao Su Bao saw her father's gaze, she told him what had happened back then.
After listening, Tang Bugui's face fell and his expression became somewhat complicated.
“You…” He opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Xiao Su Bao.
