Chapter 457 How is it? Is it enough?
Yun Zhao was originally smiling.
Seeing Xie Jingmo's cold face, she smiled and said, "Being an emperor is indeed different. I am much calmer now. How do you like the food in the hotel?"
Xie Jingmo glanced at her and said, "That's it. There's nothing special about the way the palace eats."
Fu Hai stood aside, listening to the words, and was unhappy. "Didn't you say it was delicious yesterday?"
"Yeah," Xie Jingmo raised his cold eyes slowly, "Didn't you say yesterday that you were separated from some people? How come you're suddenly reunited now? You also said yesterday that you were the shopkeeper here, working hard here alone, but now it seems that's not the case."
Fu Hai was choked and speechless.
Yun Zhao smiled and poured a glass of water for Xie Jingmo. "Why scare him? He's just protecting me."
After hearing this, Xie Jingmo calmed down a little.
He finished the water in the cup and looked at Yun Zhao again in the candlelight.
His complexion looked better than when he left before.
Xie Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief. Yun Zhao asked, "Where did you sleep last night?"
Xie Jingmo pointed to the private room upstairs. Yun Zhao didn't care much. "Okay, I won't move you. You still have official business tomorrow, so go to bed early."
Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao with slightly cold eyes.
I want to say something.
Such as——
Is that how you get rid of me?
For example——
We haven't seen each other for two years, and you have nothing to say to me?
For example——
You don't even ask me if I'm doing well?
Xie Jingmo sat in his seat, his heart broken into pieces.
Yun Zhao went to the kitchen, and Fu Hai followed him in, gasping for breath. "I was scared to death! He's now worthy of being the emperor. The murderous and decisive aura he exudes is so scary."
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Really?"
Fu Hai nodded confidently. "Are they just passing by the office? I don't believe it. I feel like they're coming for you. But, I thought about it all night, and I don't think those soldiers were hiding anything when they came last time."
Yun Zhao didn't want to dwell on something that would lead to no results. After taking a sip of water, he said, "Don't overthink it. If they say it's official business, then it's official business. They'll be leaving sooner or later, so just treat them well."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hai turned his head and glanced at Yun Zhao.
She still had that smile on her face, the same one she had when she left the palace.
But for some reason, Fu Hai always felt that Yun Zhao was actually reluctant to let go.
Although, she was always smiling.
Fu Hai went out to settle down, and Yun Zhao sat in the backyard for a long time. When he went out, Xie Jingmo had already gone upstairs to rest.
Yun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly saw someone he hadn't seen for a long time and really didn't know what to say.
"Yun Zhaozhao, you are so cruel!" Yun Zhao turned his head and saw Deputy General Gao and his deputy generals standing at the door.
Holding the bottles of wine, they said with a smile, "The terrace at the entrance of the village is nice. Let's go have a drink together."
Yun Zhao smiled happily, "Let's go!"
At this moment, the door upstairs opened with a bang. Xie Jingmo said with a cold face, "I'm going too!"
There is a crooked tree at the entrance of the village. I don’t know when, someone built a large terrace along the crooked tree. It is quite interesting to sit under the terrace and look at the stars through the sparse leaves.
These are all comrades who returned from the border.
Each person had a wine jug. Yun Zhao was weak, so Deputy General Gao gave him some bayberry wine, which was sour and sweet and tasted very good.
Everyone was talking about interesting things that happened over the years under the tree, and in just a few moments, they had brought the years of estrangement back together.
Yun Zhao laughed with them, glanced at the people sitting on the tree drinking, curled his lips, and laughed too.
On the way, Fu Hai brought some snacks and drinks, but was detained by Deputy General Gao by holding his neck.
Fu Hai is not very good at drinking. After taking a sip, he coughed several times.
Deputy General Gao laughed at him, but then said, "I envy you too. You said that when Yun Zhao left the palace, he took no one with him but you. It shows that he truly treated you as his friend."
Fu Hai lowered his head and chuckled, saying, "You don't know, this is something I begged for."
"That day, I realized the Queen Mother was going to leave. I knelt and begged her for a whole day, trying every possible way, crying bitterly, before she reluctantly agreed."
Everyone laughed and said Fu Hai’s crying was worth it.
Xie Jingmo sat on the tree, holding a wine jug in his hand, his eyes slightly lowered.
Then, he tilted his head back and took a big gulp of wine.
"Then why did you choose this place?" asked one of the lieutenants.
Fu Hai said, "I don't understand these things. It was Yun Zhao who took a map and studied it carefully. He chose this place based on the good environment, convenient transportation, abundant fruits and delicious food."
Deputy General Gao asked, "Then why did you think of opening a restaurant?"
Fu Hai chuckled, "Yun Zhao and I were greedy. We had money on us and were not afraid of losing it, so we acted rashly. We didn't expect that our restaurant would become so prosperous now."
Everyone laughed and praised Fu Hai for his business skills.
Fu Hai looked at Yun Zhao with a smile.
Yun Zhao drank the fruit wine and said, "These past few years, it's really thanks to Fu Hai, the old lady who always nags me around."
Everyone laughed again.
Everyone chatted for a long time.
As the sky gradually darkened, Xie Jingmo suddenly jumped down from the tree and said, "It's late, let's go back."
Deputy General Gao and his men were still not satisfied and kept pestering Yun Zhao to talk.
All those who returned from the border were men, with Yun Zhao being the only girl. They treated her like a treasure, and after more than two years of separation, they had many questions to ask.
A group of people can spend an hour asking questions about trivial matters and then laugh foolishly.
Now, of course, I don’t want to leave.
Xie Jingmo glanced at Yun Zhao's face calmly and said, "There's a patient, didn't you see him? If you want to ask anything, I'll ask you tomorrow."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone immediately started to laugh.
Xie Jingmo walked back with his hands behind his back.
They followed behind.
The bright candlelight in the village illuminated the figures of this group of people.
The next day.
Yun Zhao hadn't woken up yet, but Xie Jingmo was already sitting in the hall on the first floor.
When the county lady came, she was carrying some delicious fat fish. When she saw the person sitting inside, she couldn't take her eyes off him.
"Strange," the county lady said, holding Fu Hai in her arms. "How could such a banished immortal come to our remote village? Wherever he sits, everyone else is just a foil!" As she spoke, the county lady sat down opposite Xie Jingmo. "Young master, where are you from? You are so handsome. Aren't you afraid of danger when you go out alone?"
The county lady flirted with Xie Jingmo and said, "From now on, I will protect you, okay?"
Xie Jingmo didn't even raise his eyelashes.
Sitting in the morning light, he really feels like a banished immortal, calm and noble.
The county lady supported her chin and stared in amazement.
Fu Hai swallowed, walked over, and whispered to the county lady, "Let me remind you, we can't afford to offend this person. Why don't you go to the private room on the second floor?"
Upon hearing this, the county lady frowned and took out a gold ingot from her pocket.
He raised his chin to look at Xie Jingmo and asked, "How is it? Is it enough?"
