MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 34
An Ruochen said: "Zhaofu Restaurant has a great reputation in Zhonglan City, and its business is booming. My father's three restaurants combined can't compare to it. He is extremely jealous. Naturally, I know Madam."
Zhao Jiahua smiled, not caring whether the words were true or not, but mentioned An Ruofang again. "I don't know Miss An Si's whereabouts, nor have I heard any news about her, but I can understand how she feels about losing her younger sister. If my Yin'er is lost, I'm afraid I'd be overwhelmed with pain. It would be too painful for me. Like a girl, she dares to do anything."
There is a deep meaning in these words. An Ruochen looked at Zhao Jiahua, trying to read something from her face.
But Zhao Jiahua was very calm, she looked back at An Ruochen without showing any sign of guilt.
At this time, Zhao Jiahua's maid came out with the clothes, and told Zhao Jiahua to look at them carefully, and there was nothing wrong with the clothes. Zhao Jiahua smiled at An Ruochen, greeted Boss Jiang, and left.
After An Ruochen returned to Ziyun Tower, he was still thinking about Zhao Jiahua's intentions. She took the initiative to provoke her and said these words to her, obviously trying to lure her into the bait.
An Ruochen was a little excited, but also full of hope. Maybe the fourth sister is really in their hands, and the fourth sister is not dead.
An Ruochen waited anxiously for Long Da's return. The general went to the county government office today to discuss matters with the prefect. An Ruochen wanted to report today's incident to the general, and wanted to ask Long Da to agree to go to Zhaofu Restaurant to fight Zhao Jiahua head-on. She is not afraid of Zhao Jiahua, nor those secret operations, she wants to save her sister. She needs the General's support.
Long Da came back after having dinner at Yao Kun's place. An Ruochen heard the news that the general was returning to the courtyard, and hurriedly asked the kitchen to make some tremella sweet soup. Don't appear anxious, the general doesn't like being impatient. If she didn't show her confidence in this matter, based on her training results these days, the general would probably have concerns and would not agree to let her act so quickly. She had to convince the general once and for all. If the fourth sister is really alive, she must be suffering, she wants to rescue her, she promised the fourth sister that they will meet again.
An Ruochen waited for the sweet soup to be ready, and carried it to Longda's residence in person. Walking and thinking all the way, Zhao Jiahua's every word, every expression, she thought carefully again.
When they arrived at Long Da's courtyard, Long Da was boxing in the courtyard. His fists are vigorous and heroic, very majestic and unrestrained. An Ruochen glanced at it, then lowered her head and continued to think about her matters, holding the tray and waiting for the general to finish.
On the other side of the courtyard wall is the residence of Zong Zeqing and Xie Gang. Jiang Song rushed in, carrying a pot of sweet soup. "Quick, quick."
"I'm too full, I'm not interested." Zong Zeqing lay lazily on the stone chair in the courtyard, barely stroking his stomach to show his laziness.
"Officer An sent soup to the general." Jiang Song put down the pot and ran towards the courtyard wall. The sweet soup is reserved for eating after reading the gossip.
Xie Gang also appeared out of nowhere: "How do you know?"
"Lu Zheng and Tian Qing told me that there is sweet soup in the kitchen, and there is still a lot left for the general after steward An has finished." Jiang Song was already leaning against the wall, listening carefully to the movement next door. Lu Zheng and Tian Qing were the two capable generals he selected from the guard battalion to be responsible for guarding An Ruochen's safety.
"Is it appropriate for the person you picked to be so talkative?" Zong Zeqing's ears were already pressed against the wall, his laziness disappeared without a trace, and his whole body was full of energy and radiant.
"Would it be a little exaggerated for you to serve the whole pot?" Xie Gang said, "It's so easy to be noticed that you are eager to see the excitement."
"Why is it so easy to detect the whole pot..." Zong Zeqing hadn't finished asking when he was "shushed" by those two people, so he quickly shut up and listened carefully.
"The general is practicing boxing." Xie Gang said.
"Are you full?" Zong Zeqing was stared at just as he finished speaking.
"Where's An Guan?" Jiang Song was concerned about this.
"The footsteps are not as fast as yours." Xie Gang said.
"It makes sense." Zong Zeqing agreed, and then asked: "So what should we pay attention to?"
"Didn't Manager An tell you that the general used you to lure the enemy to test her. She understands the truth and won't cause trouble to you. Let me teach you to rest assured." Jiang Song said.
"That's right." Zong Zeqing nodded, "She thought the general had ordered me too. If she didn't tell me, I wouldn't have thought that the general would use this trick to deal with a girl's family. It's really treacherous. But after she finished speaking, I couldn't rest assured. I didn't think much about it at first, but after listening to it, I felt quite pitiful."
Jiang Song waved his hand, it doesn't matter that he is not pitiful.
"The general also personally taught her martial arts and advised her on countermeasures," Xie Gang said. It sounds like martial arts, but according to Xie Gang, Miss An's aptitude can be improved if she keeps practicing.
"The teaching is too strict." Zong Zeqing felt pitiful again. That day the general trained Ms. An on how to escape from the street search. He just watched the fun and stood aside to crack sunflower seeds. As a result, Ms. An, who was about to be searched, suddenly ran to him, took his arm and said, "This A strong man, the little girl was chased and robbed by bandits, and asked the strong man to save her life."
Zong Zeqing was caught off guard, and before he coughed up the melon seeds, he was scolded by Long Da who came out.
Zong Zeqing felt aggrieved, he didn't intend to pretend to be a passerby, he didn't intend to make trouble. Obviously Miss An is cunning. In other words, it is quite clever for her to ask for help in this situation, but it is a pity that the general is not satisfied.
Jiang Song ignored Zong Zeqing, what Xie Gang said was the point. The general is busy with military affairs, so many soldiers under his command can't be lined up from the south gate to the north gate, so it's not the general's turn to personally teach them. It stands to reason that she is just a small female spy, and Xie Gang came to teach her because she is overqualified.
"Guan An's pace is so slow?" Jiang Song was a little anxious. Will the general go back to his room and have nothing to watch after practicing boxing?
The three of them looked at each other, and simply kept on doing nothing, pointing their toes, and climbing up the wall.
As soon as he went up, he saw An Ruochen coming with a tray.
After watching for a while, Zong Zeqing asked in a low voice, "Did the general train harder?"
Jiang Song glared at him, what are you talking about, afraid that the general won't know that they are peeping at them?
After a while, Zong Zeqing couldn't help it anymore: "Miss An didn't even look at the general." What's the matter with wanting to applaud Miss An? Feeling relieved is a normal reaction, right?
Jiang Song not only wanted to stare at him this time, but also wanted to kick him off the wall.
In the yard, Long Da suddenly stopped, Jiang Song and Zong Zeqing shrank their heads tacitly, only then did they realize that Xie Gang was not around.
Long Da walked towards An Ruochen. It was only when An Ruochen came to her senses that she stood in front of her. She straightened her back and stood up.
"What's the matter?" Long Da asked.
Jiang Song and Zong Zeqing continued to look up, they were scratching their heads when they heard such a question, sending sweet soup, general, how obvious!
"General, I have something important to report." An Ruochen replied, looking at the sweet soup in his hand, and hurriedly added: "I also brought sweet soup to the general."
"Send it here and wait for it to cool?" Long Da asked.
Jiang Song pressed his forehead against the wall, and really couldn't see it. Zong Zeqing felt that the general didn't mean to use him to test Ms. An and embarrass everyone. There must be something missing in his mind besides fighting.
"The general is busy, so I waited." An Ruochen was serious and innocent. "Why don't you try it first, the general, and if you don't like it, I'll fill another bowl. There's still a pot warming in the kitchen."
This time it was Zong Zeqing who glared at Jiang Song, making you even more likely to be exposed.
Long Da took the tray with one hand and led An Ruochen into the house. He thought the weather in November was fine, but it was cold at night, and the girl might not feel comfortable sitting in the wind. He knew that An Ruochen was here, and when she called him, the girl could stand there for a long while, her head distracted.
"Go to the school field and run twenty laps, and I won't punish you." Long Da said as he walked.
An Ruochen was stunned, is she? The sweet soup is cold and you have to run 20 laps? Why is there a word "men", you want to run with the cooks?
The two on the wall all shrank back with a whoosh. Long Da glanced at the wall, and waited for An Ruochen to enter the room when he turned around, only to find that she was stunned. Long laughed loudly, and the previous annoyance was swept away. She looked dumbfounded and frightened, which was really interesting.
The general actually laughed. An Ruochen was even more dazed.
Long Da stopped laughing, cleared his throat, and said, "It's not about you, it's about those two on the wall."
Jiang Song and Zong Zeqing leaned against the wall and looked at each other. Where did that guy Xie Gang die? The general only fined them two!
An Ruochen glanced at the wall, but saw no one. But that doesn't matter, who gets punished is not the point. "General, I have something important to report."
"Yes." Long Da responded and led her into the house.
Xie Gang suddenly appeared again, Jiang Song and Zong Zeqing glared at him together: "Where were you?"
"On the tree." Xie Gang pointed to the big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves beside the wall. The wall is so conspicuous, and these two people have attracted the general's attention, so he is more at ease hiding on the other side. "Hurry up and go to the school grounds, or the general will punish you when he turns around and finds out that you two didn't run away. I'll drink the sweet soup first, and I'll give you some left over."
"Damn spy!" Jiang Song and Zong Zeqing said in unison, rushed over and beat Xie Gang up.
In the Long Mansion, the atmosphere is not as lively as on the side of the wall. An Ruochen took a few breaths nervously, and told Long Da in detail what happened in the clothing shop today. As he talked, he became a little excited again, and finally said: "General, Zhao Jiahua took the initiative to provoke, they must have a plan. I should give some reaction to make them feel that I am hooked."
Long Da calmly asked, "What do you think their plan is?"
