Chapter 171 I'm back in Beijing. This time the meal belongs to me, I want to eat it all back
In a remote wooden house, a man covered in blood was lying on the bed, and a man in black was standing beside his bed.
"Where am I?"
Gulang woke up slowly. He remembered that he had walked to the edge of the cliff next to Wushi Village and jumped off the cliff while those people were not paying attention.
"who are you?"
Gu Lang found someone standing beside his bed. He remembered that this person saved him when he jumped off the cliff.
"Long time no see, Brother Zishan."
Gu Lang's pupils trembled slightly. People only knew that his real name was Hu Liang, but did not know his courtesy name because most of the people who knew it were dead.
"you..."
Gu Lang's voice became a little choked. Although he had not yet recognized the identity of the person in front of him, he always felt that he was somewhat familiar. It had been a long time since anyone called him Zishan.
The man in black took off his mask, and his face appeared in front of Gu Lang. Gu Lang stared at the face, looking left and right, and the man's face gradually overlapped with the face in his memory, but Gu Lang was still a little uncertain. After all, ten years had passed.
"You are... the second young master?"
......
Jiang Tunan and Jiang Shouyan looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Want some?"
Jiang Shouyan handed over a handful of melon seeds. This time she was dressed as a vendor, and she was carrying a basket on her back with a lot of roasted nuts in it.
"thank you."
Jiang Tunan took the melon seeds from Jiang Shouyan's hand and squatted beside her to eat them.
"You tell me (cracking melon seeds), when can I go out (chewing), every time I come in (chewing), do I have to stay this long?"
"I don't know, but I guess by the time you get out, you'll have already returned to Kyoto. That's great, and you can travel painlessly."
Jiang Shouyan grabbed another handful of fried peanuts from the bamboo basket on his back and handed some to Jiang Tunan.
"Do you think it would be bad to just let the man in black rescue Hua Bei? What if Hua Bei turns evil secretly and I can't find him? Wouldn't that mean the mission has failed?"
Jiang Shouyan was peeling peanuts nonchalantly.
"Don't worry, as long as the heroine is in Kyoto, the second male lead will definitely go to where the heroine is."
Jiang Tunan nodded, not quite understanding, and then said,
"Who is the black-clad man who rescued Hua Bei? Is he an important character? And how big is Su Xiaoxiao's fish pond? Draw a boundary for me so I can avoid it in the future. Does the Duke of Zhenguo have a grudge against the Meng family? And... why are you looking at me like that?"
Jiang Shouyan had a constipated expression, hesitating to speak.
"Sister, I'm just a cannon fodder. If I knew so much, I would have been promoted long ago."
Jiang Tunan: ...
"Okay, you can go now. Your body is almost reaching Kyoto. Let's go~"
Jiang Shouyan pushed Jiang Tunan on the back, and Jiang Tunan's vision went dark instantly. She felt as if she was in a carriage because she heard the wheels turning and the sound of horse hooves, but the bedding beneath her was soft and comfortable, so she didn't feel any shock at all.
She could faintly hear the sound of conversation, and it seemed to be Xiao Mingxu.
"Do you think Xiao Nannan is really interested in Meng Jingchen? She is even willing to risk her life to save him."
"But I don't think so. My cousin is obviously a little scared of Master Meng."
"Alas, how could this newly recognized cousin have embarked on a path of no return? Fourth Brother, say something!"
Xiao Mingrui's voice was still cold and clear. Jiang Tunan felt that he was a little unhappy.
"You're noisy."
Xiao Mingxu felt aggrieved. Xiao Mingli stayed in Yuxi County and did not come back with them. Xiao Mingrui was a taciturn person. He was the only one talking to himself along the way.
"I really miss the time when my cousin was still here..."
"What are you calling me for?"
Jiang Tunan sat up with a somersault. Xiao Mingrui looked at him without saying anything, but Xiao Mingxu was frightened quite a bit.
"I sat up in shock from my dying illness, and the greedy ghost turned out to be me! Cousin, I want to eat!"
Maybe it was because he had been unconscious before, but when Jiang Tunan woke up this time he felt so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, and he wanted to take a bite of everything he saw.
"Just bear with it. We'll be in Kyoto soon. We don't have much food in the car."
Xiao Mingrui spoke lightly from the side, without looking at Jiang Tunan when he spoke.
"Xiao Nannan, just be patient. We will be in Kyoto soon. I will treat you to dinner at the best restaurant in Kyoto!"
"Cousin~ you are so nice~"
Jiang Tunan looked at Xiao Mingxu with tears in her eyes. She felt that at this moment, Xiao Mingxu was emanating the aura of a saint.
"By the way, cousin, how is your injury? I feel like you don't seem to be in any pain at all."
Jiang Tunan's body stiffened. She did not feel any pain when she woke up this time. She guessed that Jiang Shouyan had helped her recover. However, for ordinary people, the recovery speed was still a little too fast. So she must not let other people know about this, otherwise they would think she was a monster.
Jiang Tunan rolled his eyes, frowned, put his hands on his chest and shouted,
"Ouch! My wound here hurts so much!"
Xiao Mingrui glanced at Jiang Tunan in confusion and pointed.
"But you hurt your back."
Jiang Tunan: If you hadn’t told me earlier, she would have forgotten about it.
"You don't understand. This is called referred pain. Although I was injured on my back, the pain can be transmitted to the front of my chest. For example, patients with heart disease, although the heart is on the left side of the chest, sometimes they will also experience pain in the left shoulder or left upper arm. (Serious nonsense)"
Sorry, Internal Medicine teacher! (Bow)
Xiao Mingxu looked at Jiang Tunan with pride.
"Cousin, you are awesome!"
Because he hadn't eaten, Jiang Tunan felt weak all over after just a little movement.
"Cousin, let me take a break. I'm so tired."
After saying that, Jiang Tunan lay down again and closed his eyes. Xiao Mingxu did not move, but stared at Jiang Tunan quietly.
"It's good to be back."
The carriage swayed for another half an hour, and Xiao Mingrui could see the city gate of Kyoto. At the city gate, Xiao Huaimin was pacing back and forth with a worried look on his face.
There was a group of people standing behind him, and the one standing in the front was Qi Guanming, the prince of Guangping.
"Sir, look, the young masters are back."
The steward of the Xiao Mansion was very sharp-eyed. He was the first to see the carriage of Xiao Mingrui and others heading towards the gate of Kyoto.
"That's great. Mingrui wrote to me earlier and told me that he had found Nan Nan. Now my long-awaited wish has finally come true."
Qi Guanming also came forward upon hearing this.
"Congratulations, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Huaimin glanced at Qi Guanming with some disdain. This man had followed him to the city gate like a ghost, and no one knew what he was doing there.
In the carriage, Xiao Mingrui gently woke up Jiang Tunan.
"Cousin, it's time to wake up. We're here."
Jiang Tunan didn't move. Xiao Mingrui called him a few more times in a low voice, but Jiang Tunan still lay there motionless, with no intention of waking up at all.
"Get out of the way. You won't be able to wake her up like this."
Xiao Mingxu volunteered, pushed Xiao Mingrui aside, leaned over and whispered in Jiang Tunan's ear,
"Your gold jewelry was stolen~"
"What?! Who! Who dares to steal my things!"
Jiang Tunan opened his eyes and sat up, looking very angry. Xiao Mingxu smiled confidently at Xiao Mingrui, as if to show how powerful he was.
Xiao Mingrui: 6
"Have you arrived in Kyoto?"
Jiang Tunan lifted the curtain of the window beside him, looked at the strange yet familiar road, and laughed.
"I'm back in Beijing now. This time, I must eat all the food that belongs to me."
