Chapter 0159 How many days
The next day, when Xiao Rong came down from upstairs, everyone downstairs was sitting there, each holding a vegetarian pancake and slowly eating it.
The waiter didn't dare sleep the whole night, because he couldn't figure out the origins of these people. They could take turns to rest and work at night, but the waiter couldn't. After all, he was alone. Before dawn this morning, the old shopkeeper and his youngest son also came. Now the three of them stood closely together, like frightened animals on the African savannah. They huddled behind the counter, silently watching every move of this group of people.
As soon as footsteps were heard upstairs, the group of men who were only focused on eating stood up instantly, with the leader at the head, and the rest of them standing in a row in a well-trained manner. If there weren't a pile of unfinished sesame cakes on the table, the old shopkeeper and his men would have thought that these people had not eaten at all. …
Xiao Rong walked down first, and Qu Yunmie came two steps behind him. He had only slept for half the night, but Xiao Rong was still full of energy. On the contrary, Qu Yunmie, who was behind him, had a sour face even though he had gotten the beauty.
Xiao Rong ignored him and just curled his lips towards his personal soldiers: "You guys continue eating. Shopkeeper, give us two a hot meal as well."
The old shopkeeper and his youngest son had been out for the past two days and didn't know that Xiao Rong had come to the store. They both stared at him blankly, as if wondering whether he was a real person or not.
Qu Yunmie glared at the youngest son first, then thought about it and felt that it would be better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go, so he turned his head and glared at the old shopkeeper.
The old shopkeeper was frightened by him and trembled. Seeing this, Xiao Rong immediately turned his head. Although he did not catch Qu Yunmie in the act, he knew that he must have done something.
You even care about the elderly!
Xiao Rong was unhappy, but he also knew that he had to save face for him, so he whispered, "Go sit over there."
However, the inn was too small, and everyone heard Xiao Rong's scolding tone. The next second, Qu Yunmie turned around and left reluctantly.
Qu Yunmie came to a personal soldier and stared at him. The latter was stunned for a long time, and finally reacted. He jumped up and stretched out his hand: "Your Majesty, please sit down!"
Only then did Qu Yunmie condescend to sit down.
Then he lowered his head, picked up the half-cooled sesame cake on the table, and joined the army of people eating sesame cakes. …………
The waiter had already run off to cook for Xiao Rong, and now only the father and son were left standing here. The old shopkeeper looked at Xiao Rong and the group of people with an increasingly confused and uncertain look in his eyes.
He was old and knew a lot, but his son was different. His son had already pointed at Qu Yunmie and started to speak like a machine gun: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty——"
The old shopkeeper slapped his son's hand away, and showed Xiao Rong a flattering expression that seemed to be neither crying nor smiling: "Your Excellency..."
Xiao Rong looked at their reactions and pulled the corners of his mouth soothingly. Then he took out two gold cakes that he had prepared in advance from his sleeve and placed them on the counter: "I accidentally broke the wall of the room yesterday. The innkeeper will use this money to repair the inn."
The old shopkeeper shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, it's just a wall. How dare I ask you to pay for it!"
It’s not that he isn’t greedy for money, he’s just afraid that the money will get too hot to handle!
The old shopkeeper was about to return the money to Xiao Rong, but Xiao Rong stretched out a finger and pushed the two gold cakes back: "I know that it won't take so much money to repair a wall, but you run this inn really well. Although the store is small, it has everything and is clean and bright everywhere. It is the best that an ordinary inn can do. You and I are destined to be together. The extra money is my gift to you. I hope you can use it to expand the inn and thicken the walls. After all, your walls are really thin, and the noise from next door can be heard clearly. We just knocked lightly, and it cracked as if it was about to collapse."
The old shopkeeper: “…………”Don’t fool me.
If that person is really the one he is thinking of now, what is the use of building an iron wall?
The old shopkeeper dared not speak out in anger, and Xiao Rong did not care. Internally, he could say that it was Qu Yunmie's fault, but externally, it must be the wall's fault. ...
Before leaving, Xiao Rong emphasized to the old shopkeeper again: "Shopkeeper, you must expand the inn and hire a few more employees. The location of your inn is a must-go place on the nearest road to Qingzhou. It won't be long before your good days will come."
The old shopkeeper held the two gold cakes tremblingly and looked at the group of people. His expression gradually changed from fear to thoughtfulness.
Xiao Rong was not making fun of him. After the establishment of the new dynasty, many of his previous ideas could be officially implemented, such as supplying the entire world with sea salt. The salt transportation routes were divided into water and land routes. The land route would naturally go through the places Xiao Rong had walked through in the past few days.
Now that he had decided to go back, Xiao Rong's vacation was over, and he began to do his old job again, which was to find opportunities to think about how to govern the world. ...
After breakfast, the group started their journey home. Xiao Rong felt a little resistant when he thought about facing faces with mixed emotions when he got back. He was still the same person and was unwilling to talk about feelings with others. Qu Yunmie spent a whole year and paid the price of several lives before Xiao Rong softened his attitude. He would not treat others so well.
Xiao Rong hoped that after returning, everyone could pretend that this incident had never happened and jump directly to the stage of living happily together. However, he knew it was impossible, so Xiao Rong tensed up while calling Qu Yunmie behind him: "Hey."
Qu Yunmie was originally looking at the road. When he heard such a name, he was stunned for a moment, then looked down at Xiao Rong who was leaning against him with a crooked posture: "What did you call me?"
Xiao Rong blinked: "Nothing."
Qu Yunmie: "Don't call me that, as if I am just a casual person in front of you."
Xiao Rong: “…”
This man is really becoming more and more troublesome.
"What do you want me to call you, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Rong spoke clearly, and the word "Your Majesty" seemed to jump out of his mouth, with an indescribable teasing meaning. After he finished speaking, he deliberately tilted his head to look at Qu Yunmie, who had a stern face and ignored him: "Just call me by my name."
Xiao Rong raised his eyebrows and let out a long "ah".
Qu Yunmie sensed something wrong from his tone, and he instantly looked at Xiao Rong with vigilance, but Xiao Rong had already sat up straight and turned his head away. Where Qu Yunmie couldn't see, Xiao Rong pursed his lips and smiled. Qu Yunmie looked at the back of his head, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
At this time, Xiao Rong turned his head back seriously and said, "Okay, let's talk business. What are you going to do when you go back?"
Qu Yunmie glanced at him, and realizing what he was talking about, his expression softened: "Let's do what needs to be done."
Xiao Rong looked at his calm demeanor and could not help but remind him, "After becoming the emperor, your affairs are no longer your affairs, but the affairs of the people of the world. This may not be as easy as you think."
Qu Yunmie glanced at Xiao Rong and thought to himself, is there anyone in this world who is more difficult to chew than you?
In Qu Yunmie's mind, making Xiao Rong change his mind ranked first in difficulty, and conquering the world ranked second.
After a moment of silence, he did not speak out his true feelings, but reminded Xiao Rong in a gentle tone: "Except for you, there is nothing in this world that I am afraid of. You just need to stand by me and don't waver."
Xiao Rong looked at Qu Yunmie's resolute profile, and his expression changed slightly. After looking for a long time, he suddenly reached out and touched Qu Yunmie's jawbone. He said in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty, when you said this, my heart was beating so fast."
Qu Yunmie: “…………”
