Chapter 44: General Luo
The fighting has ceased after a great victory on the border, and the news that the Northern Army has arrived in the capital today has spread throughout the city.
The people were in an uproar and poured into the streets. The streets were deserted and they gathered at the city gates and on both sides of the main roads in the capital, talking about everything and the atmosphere was very heated.
"I'm really sorry, sir. All the private rooms in our restaurant have already been reserved. They are all dignitaries. I can't afford to offend them." The waiter wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with an apologetic smile.
"There's not even any space left in the lobby. Sir, please take a look..."
Many people gathered in the hall. Xin Hongying protected her purse, frowning impatiently. Gao Tang smiled and said in a pinched tone, "You have no sense. You can't afford to offend the nobles, but can you afford to offend our young master?"
"If you can't make the decision, let someone who can make the decision do it!"
Seeing this, the waiter glanced at Xin Hongying behind Gao Tang and hurriedly went to find the shopkeeper.
After spending several times the amount of money, the shopkeeper finally made room for them.
The private rooms on the second floor of the restaurant were also filled with people, gathered in groups of three or four. It was several times more crowded than usual. Noisy sounds came into their rooms through the thin walls, making it quite noisy and making their rooms look particularly unusual.
The sun was setting, and the people on the street were reluctant to leave and were still waiting.
They arrived late and didn't have to wait long.
At the last moment of sunset, the figures of the Northern warriors appeared in the sky. The team was neatly arranged, with elite cavalry leading the way. The horses' hooves rolled, the dust flew, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the city gate.
"Look! The Northern Army has arrived!"
This sound was like a drop of water dropped into hot oil, and the people instantly became excited and enthusiastic. Shen Tingyu also immediately became energetic, looking around and constantly watching the movements at the city gate.
The man on horseback walking in the front was wearing armor, neatly dressed, and a black cloak. He was about 20 or 30 years old, handsome, with some scraggly stubble on his face, which did not affect his appearance, but showed an air of maturity.
He rode his horse and waved to the people with a smile on his face, looking like a spring breeze.
"He just waved at me. General Luo is so handsome!"
"That's amazing! I want to marry General Luo, and no one can stop me, ahhhh!"
"General, look at me, look at me!"
"I've heard my mother tell you stories since I was little. General, you are the undefeated, iron-blooded god of war. I admire you so much. I want to join the army in the future and serve under you."
"General, I will bleed for you and block arrows for you. General, I love you!"
Countless flowers and handkerchiefs were thrown at him, countless hearts were secretly in love with him, and countless people admired him enthusiastically.
Shen Tingyu opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect General Luo to be so young, and she didn't expect that the scene of ancient people chasing stars was equally fanatical and crazy.
She really learned a lot today.
Xin Hongying sat aside, sipping tea leisurely, playing with the teacup with her slender fingers, watching the ever-changing expressions on her face.
Suddenly, General Luo was blocked by a high-hanging cloth. Shen Tingyu stood on tiptoe at the window to look.
Probably because the waiter was wiping the table too diligently, she slipped and nearly fell into the crowd.
Xin Hongying was quick-witted and quick-handed. He hooked his fingers on the corner of her clothes and pulled her back.
Luo Hun’s murderous eyes shot sharply towards the window where they were, Xin Hongying caught Shen Tingyu and dodged his sight sideways.
Shen Tingyu patted her chest and thought to herself that it was a close call, otherwise she would have fallen. The thought that she might be trampled by countless people made her feel palpitations. Fortunately, this nightmare did not happen!
The little hand nervously tugged at the corner of the tyrant's clothes.
Luo Hun only saw a piece of moon-white clothing corner that flashed by, and then he withdrew his gaze.
Gao Tang paced back and forth in the room. The more lively it was outside, the more anxious he became. His eyes widened with anxiety, and he held back the urging in his throat.
It was only after Shen Tingyu noticed Gao Tang’s subtle movements that she contentedly agreed to return to the palace.
When the two of them reached the corner of the stairs, the tyrant bumped into the waiter who was looking down, and the warm tea spilled on Xin Hongying's white clothes, instantly spreading a dirty tea stain. The tyrant's face turned black, and his big hands protected the purse at his waist.
Gao Tang scolded: "You are such a blind person."
The waiter was sweating profusely after a busy day. He glanced at Xin Hongying protecting the purse, looked up in panic, and said with an apologetic smile, "Sir, I hope I didn't burn you."
Xin Hongying stopped him from wiping her clothes and said coldly, "Get lost!"
The waiter said, "Sir, would you like to change your clothes? There is a changing area in the store, and there is a ready-made clothing shop next door."
Gao Tang was anxious. He snorted coldly, "Why don't you lead the way? Can you afford to waste my time?"
The waiter extended his hand, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Sir, please come this way."
Xin Hongying was changing clothes in the inner room, Shen Tingyu was put down temporarily, and she stayed there quietly.
Suddenly someone picked up the purse. She thought it was the tyrant who had come back to change his clothes. She was about to speak, but she realized that the hand holding the purse had an incorrect strength. She closed her mouth with a very confused expression.
Who is it?
That person is definitely not a tyrant. Could it be Eunuch Gao? But Eunuch Gao would never approach her easily and proactively.
She felt someone tossing her purse up and down, as if weighing its weight. The big hand hesitated for only a moment before decisively taking her away.
no!
The thief ran away!
At least open it and take a look!
Shen Tingyu was shocked and cursed inwardly: This thief is too stupid, the weight of the purse is very light, there is obviously something wrong, why don’t you put her down quickly.
Shen Tingyu was silent!
With a sudden turn (flipping out the window), he fell heavily (jumping out of the window), and Shen Tingyu was passively tossed around in the purse (escaping)...
Finally it stopped, there was a rustling sound, and she was placed on the table, motionless.
"Brother, I've been lying in ambush there for a whole day, and you just let me take action on him. This purse is bulging, but it's so light. Brother... are you mistaken?"
“It’s really weird.”
Shen Tingyu nodded silently, you know it’s strange, why don’t you open it and take a look!
Another male voice said seriously, "Third brother, how could Big Brother be so wrong? When have the three of us ever made a mistake? Haven't we always done our best... What the hell! We've never been caught."
The eldest brother said, "Third brother, what do you know? That person cares about this money bag very much. He has guarded it tightly many times and would not let anyone get close to it. Moreover, there are only two of them. When they came to the teahouse, they booked an entire private room and spent several times more money. It is obvious that they are not short of money."
This was the voice of the waiter. It turned out that he had deliberately poured tea on the tyrant. How brave they were!
He stole things from the tyrant and implicated himself.
The second brother said: "Big brother is right. Even if there is no silver in here, it must be something more valuable!"
The third brother was skeptical: "Really?"
The eldest brother said, "Second brother understands me best. Let's take advantage of today's chaos and pull off one last big steal. Once we get something valuable, we can retire and return home."
The third brother: "I miss my mom. Big brother is indeed the smartest among the three of us, hehe..."
Shen Tingyu's head was full of black lines!
Stupid thief!
How can you come up with so many ideas just for stealing something?
The second brother: "Stop talking, third brother, open it and take a look..."
