The horse galloped, and the familiar figure gradually approached the teahouse.
Song Huan half-closed his eyes and finally saw Pei Yan's appearance clearly.
This guy was wearing armor and holding a silver spear.
At first glance, it looks majestic.
But from this point of view, Pei Yan and the group of men in black in front should be in a hostile relationship.
Where is the heroine in the book?
What role did she assume in this pursuit...
Song Huan looked at the masked man in black who was about to rush into the East City Market, and then thought about the unusual nature of the East City Market today... Could this be a trick to lure him into a trap?
Did Pei Yan not realize the enemy's purpose and that's why he chased this group of men in black all the way here?
But this fellow has fought for so many years, and has already mastered the art of war. How could he not know the principle of not pursuing a desperate enemy?
Perhaps, he clearly noticed it, but was willing to take the risk for someone important...
Song Huan lowered his eyes and carefully searched for the heroine of the book among the twenty or thirty men in black.
This time, the men in black passed by Song Huan almost one by one, and she finally saw someone who looked like the heroine... Behind a man in black riding a horse, there seemed to be a thin and small figure lying.
But Song Huan could only see the figure's back and legs.
His face was on the other side of the horse's back, so she couldn't see it and couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Song Huan looked at the horsebacks of the other men in black again.
If this group of men in black only kidnapped one person, then that person must be the heroine of the book, Cui Yuning.
But when the men in black rode their horses past the teahouse one by one, Song Huan... felt depressed.
She saw two equally thin figures on the black-clad men's horses behind her.
"Who is the heroine in the book?"
"Master System, you are so excellent, could you give me a hint?"
But in response to Song Huan's sudden flattery, the system had a standard response: "Dear, thank you for your compliment, but this system cannot tell you. Please discover it yourself."
Song Huan: “…”
At this moment, Pei Yan, who had been chasing the man in black, suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse suddenly leaned back and let out a long howl.
Song Huan quickly closed the system conversation and looked towards Pei Yan, following the voice.
Pei Yan's eyes fell on the carriage parked at the fork in the street corner. It was the mansion's carriage, and he would not make a mistake.
Huanhuan is here.
Pei Yan's heart trembled, his eyes swept across the void, and he saw Song Huan standing at the window of the teahouse.
But his gaze did not linger at all, but fell straight on the man in black who had already escaped into the east city market.
"Chase!" Pei Yan pursed his lips, his dark eyes like a bottomless pool.
After he finished speaking, he let out a long shout and spurred his horse into a gallop again.
Song Huan: “…”
Did Pei Yan and her look at each other for a moment? And then... he ignored her?
Song Huan was so angry that he wanted to close the window!
She took a deep breath...she barely managed to hold it in, turned half her body to the side, and turned towards the direction of the market.
Pei Yangang led his troops into the market, and the men in black who were riding their horses at full speed in front of them all reined in their horses and stopped.
Song Huan's pupils shrank, and he asked Qin Shi and the others, "Do you have any way to find reinforcements?"
Qin Shi and Jin Liu took a step forward upon hearing this and looked at the street in the east of the city again from the window. Some of the vendors had hurriedly stood up, grabbed their cash boxes and fled when the men in black rode into the street, while the rest were still busy with their business seemingly calmly.
However... facing this situation, the master did not take any action...
Qin Shi and Jin Liu exchanged glances, and then Qin Shi turned to report to Song Huan: "Please rest assured, Madam, everything that happened today was within the master's expectations."
Song Huan was silent for a moment. Was this all within this guy's expectations?
She blinked, "I see."
"Then Madam..."
Jin Liu raised his eyes, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Song Huan understood what the two men meant and said decisively, "Close the window."
Anyway, Pei Yan already knows that she is here. If he is free after the fight, he should come up to find her, right?
Song Huan sat back at the table calmly... no, not really calmly.
She couldn't help but tap the system: "Is Pei Yan's life in danger this time?"
System: "Dear, please rest assured, the target is not in danger of death."
Song Huan: "...Oh."
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and the waiter came to serve tea and cakes.
As soon as the guy came in, he saw the closed window and couldn't help but smile.
Oh, it's so rare to meet such a tactful guest.
"Something happened outside. There might be sounds of fighting later. But you don't have to worry, ma'am. Since you have entered our shop, we will naturally not allow strangers to disturb you while you are drinking tea."
"But there is one thing I must trouble you to understand, madam. If you hear any fighting, please do not open the window until the sound stops." After the waiter said this, he served some tea and snacks, then carried the tray and left the private room with a smile.
This smile may seem unremarkable at first glance, but if you look more closely, you can sense something profound and mysterious about it.
Song Huan suddenly understood.
Why are there always fools willing to give money?
I'm afraid that these words were said by Uncle Qin to deceive the hero and heroine in the book. What Shengyuan Teahouse sells is not just tea and snacks, it is clearly the lives of the people who come in.
Open at Chen time and close at Zi time.
During this period, Shengyuan Teahouse can save anyone's life as long as they can pay the money.
The original book did not mention this teahouse in detail, only Uncle Qin's seemingly joking answer.
But Song Huan now understood that Uncle Qin's role in the book as the hero and heroine's helper, helping them conquer the world, was probably more than just a matter of money...
She squinted her eyes, picked up the tea, and took a sip...hiss! It was hot!
Song Huan pursed his lips suddenly, his hand trembled, and some tea spilled onto the back of his hand.
"Madam!" Jin Yue was startled. "Are you burned?"
"Madam, your sister just told you that the tea is hot and asked you to wait a while before drinking it. Why are you so disobedient?" Jinle couldn't help but frown, looking like a little adult.
Song Huan: “…” Sorry.
A small disaster destined by fate, why not just let it come true...
At the same time, the sound of fighting with cold weapons suddenly came from outside the window.
"Madam, those people won't break into the teahouse, right?" Jin Yue couldn't help but look nervous when she heard the voice, and her hands were shaking as she took out the cotton handkerchief.
Seeing this, Song Huan took the cotton handkerchief, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, sucking the hot water droplets on his hand bit by bit, "No, don't worry."
Jin Yue had just been sitting obediently beside the table, and had no idea that the people fighting outside were Pei Chen and the others.
So after hearing Song Huan say this, she thought that their lady had let down her guard because of what the teahouse waiter had said earlier.
"Madam, would you like to ask Guards Qin and Jin to go to the lobby and take a look?"
She advised worriedly, "If someone really rushes into the teahouse, it would be better to have Guards Qin and Jin stop them downstairs."
Song Huan had already used a cotton handkerchief to soak up the tea on the back of his hand, leaving a red mark. "It's okay. Qin Shijin and Liu can just stay in the private room and guard it."
She ignored the pain on the tip of her tongue and the back of her hand, and comforted Jin Yue: "Don't worry, if those people really rush up, it won't be too late for the two of them to stop them. If they go to the lobby, what if someone breaks in through the window? The three of us..."
Song Huan glanced at Jinle and paused as he spoke: "A child and two women, they will be powerless to fight back at that time."
Jin Yue's eyes brightened a little after hearing this. She had misunderstood. "Madam, you are right. It is this servant who has not considered it carefully."
Song Huan looked at her deeply. It seemed that ever since the conflict between Jin Yue and Pei Chen in the military camp, Jin Yue had not come to her senses... Could it be that the problem between these two people in the military camp has not been resolved?
Song Huan frowned. It seemed that she would have to have a good talk with this girl when she had the chance.
But the most urgent matter right now is herself.
I don't know if Pei Yan really has a foolproof plan...
Song Huan turned his head to look at the tightly closed window, feeling a little uneasy.
"Master System, is there any tool that can help me check Pei Yan's current fighting situation?"
“It’s probably a live broadcast feature.”
System: "...Dear, there is no such item."
Song Huan: "Well...text broadcast is also fine. A little delay is fine. I don't mind."
System: "Dear, could you please not be so imaginative?"
Song Huan: “…”
If she didn't have a big imagination, she would never be able to accept the existence of this broken system, and it would be impossible for her to survive in this world, okay?
"You're a system that tells me not to be so imaginative... that's funny, okay?"
Song Huan's suppressed anxiety seemed to have found a breakthrough, but when she was about to angrily criticize the system, the system suddenly sent a message.
"Dear, a new dangerous incident has been discovered within a half-kilometer radius. Would you like to check now?"
Song Huan's heart was filled with pain. "Check it out."
System: "Dangerous Event Details: Danger Source - 19th: The heroine "Cui Yuning" and the target of the strategy appeared at Shengyuan Teahouse."
Song Huan's eyes tightened, "Didn't the heroine in the book just pass by?"
The system didn't respond, but continued, "Cause of danger—In thirty seconds, the heroine of the book, Cui Yuning, will be led into Shengyuan Teahouse by men in black, and the target, Pei Yan, will follow closely behind. A fight will ensue. During this fight, you have a fifty percent chance of being injured."
"Solution - Please leave Shengyuan Teahouse as soon as possible."
Song Huan: “…?”
"Excuse me, will I be safe if I leave Shengyuan Teahouse?"
"And what if leaving Shengyuan Teahouse triggers other dangerous events?"
"..." The system was silent for a few seconds. "Dear, each solution is only for the corresponding dangerous incident."
Song Huan: “…” Hehe.
He is good at passing on the blame.
But Song Huan has also seen through this broken system. It is a blessing in disguise, but it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.
She was destined to encounter dangerous events today and there was no way to hide.
Then just wait.
Song Huan's eyes turned cold.
"Warning: The heroine of the book, Cui Yuning, has entered the lobby of Shengyuan Teahouse..."
"Warning: The capture target "Pei Yan" has entered the lobby of Shengyuan Teahouse..."
At the same time, the waiter knocked on the door of the private room and said, "Madam, someone in the lobby wants to see you. Would you like to go and see them?"
Song Huan: "Who is that person?"
