Chapter 54 The outgoing Shen Miao and the cold-hearted Wei Qing
Chatting and laughing, the two slowly walked downstairs.
It's funny, actually, this inn belongs to the Shen family.
Despite the fact that the Shen family made their fortune in arms, they also have some involvement in other industries.
As soon as I came downstairs, I saw Shen Miao slamming her hand on the table.
"Hey, you stupid shopkeeper, I am Shen Miao! You don't even recognize me, yet you dare ask me for money? Be careful, or I'll give you a good beating!"
The shopkeeper, looking embarrassed, quickly surrendered: "Young lady, I really didn't see clearly just now, I'm so sorry..."
Seemingly feeling embarrassed, Shen Miao pouted and said, "Your monthly salary for this month is canceled!"
The innkeeper looked helpless: "Alright, alright... it's your decision. Please come to the third floor quickly. I'll have someone go up and clean the top-class room number one on the third floor..."
Shen Miao wiped her nose: 'You're smart to know what's good for you...'
Turning around, I saw Xu Tianyi and Gu Qinghan.
She suddenly felt that the face looked familiar and ran over immediately.
"Hey... isn't this the sister I saw at the Moon Wheel? Have you returned to Wuji...?"
Gu Qinghan was stunned for a moment, then she smiled.
Shen Miao was indeed very outgoing and had a good memory.
"Miss Shen actually remembers me..."
Sixteen-year-old Shen Miao is pure, lively, and active, and has a great figure. Her cute personality and mature figure seem incongruous.
Wearing a divine robe, she saw Gu Qinghan smile at her and immediately took his hand.
"Sister, you're new to Wuji, so I'll treat you to a feast! Old Li, bring out the best wine and dishes for this lady."
The shopkeeper opposite him twitched his lips. "If I'm useful, I'm Old Li; if I'm not, I'm a stupid shopkeeper."
"Okay..."
Faced with such an enthusiastic Shen Miao, Gu Qinghan seemed unable to refuse and immediately sat down with her.
Turning around, Miss Shen pulled Wei Qing aside: "Come on, Wei Qing, have a seat. Let me tell you the story of how I cleverly obtained the Moon Wheel's firearms..."
Even the icy Wei Qing was amused by her.
Xu Tianyi felt a little awkward after the three of them sat down.
Shen Miao also saw him and immediately rushed over to look him up and down.
To be honest, when you see a cute girl looking you up and down up at close range, you always feel a little strange.
"Hey, are you this lady's bodyguard?"
Xu Tianyi was dumbfounded: "Which eye of yours saw me as a bodyguard? I'm her fiancé, her boyfriend, don't you understand?!"
Shen Miao scratched her chin: "Wait a minute, you and my sister don't seem to match..."
"I'll go with you, okay?"
Shen Miao laughed: "Tch, so they really are just after my beauty..."
Xu Tianyi rolled his eyes at her: "Don't you know how many days it's been since you showered?"
Shen Miao wrinkled her nose and sniffed carefully.
"Wait a minute, it smells like gunpowder, but it smells delicious..."
Watching the two bickering, Gu Qinghan couldn't help but think of Ning Hongye.
A smile appeared on his lips.
"Alright, alright, Tianyi, come here quickly..."
Xu Tianyi bypassed Shen Miao and sat down directly.
At this moment, the group was in a window-side cubicle on the first floor.
Xu Tianyi had just sat down when Shen Miao plopped down opposite him.
"Sister, I haven't asked your name yet. When are you going back to Moon Wheel? Can you take me with you?"
Gu Qinghan smiled and shook his head: "I probably won't go back. I'll stay in Wuji."
Shouldn't you introduce yourself before introducing me?
Shen Miao smiled smugly, crossed her arms, and said, "Well then, I'm quite good. My name is Shen Miao, and I'm the eldest daughter of the Shen family in Leizhou. And you, sister..."
Xu Tianyi interrupted: 'Why didn't you ask me?'
Shen Miao pouted: "You look like a guard!"
"You are the guard!"
"Hehehe... This young lady is a captain in the Shenji Battalion's Firearms Battalion!"
"That must be a common soldier..."
"Pah! Pah! Pah! Do you even know what you're talking about, Captain? You're so ignorant..."
"Just a slightly tougher soldier..."
Xu Tianyi continued to make jokes.
I must say, Miss Shen Miao is quite a fun person.
It wasn't that she underestimated Xu Tianyi, but rather that Xu Tianyi was dressed very much like a bodyguard.
After a brief playful exchange, Gu Qinghan waved her hand, "Alright, alright, Miss Shen, my name is Gu Qinghan, from Cangyu Pavilion in Yongzhou."
"Hey, Cangyu Pavilion, what does that do? Does it sell clothes? Sister, your clothes are so pretty..."
As she spoke, she reached out to touch the fuzz on Gu Qinghan's clothes.
"Snapped!!"
"How rude..."
"They're just looking around... Oh, and you haven't introduced yourself yet..."
Xu Tianyi smiled: "Xu Tianyi of the Xu family of Yongzhou..."
"Oh, he's from a prestigious family. I didn't realize..."
"Oh my god! All that chattering..."
Shen Miao scoffed and immediately shut up.
At this moment, Wei Qing, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"The Xu family of Anlu County, Yongzhou?"
"Oh? Lord Zhijinwei has an exceptional memory..."
Wei Qing nodded: "I've seen the Xu family's files. The Xu family suffered a great tragedy some time ago, and the entire clan was wiped out. How did you escape?"
As she spoke, the sword in her hand was almost drawn from its sheath, her eyes filled with extreme vigilance.
Xu Tianyi thought about it and agreed. It had been a month or two, and it would be strange if the Imperial Guard hadn't received any news.
Before answering your question, shouldn't you introduce yourself?
Wei Qing snorted coldly: "According to the news, the Xu family of Yongzhou has accused Gu Feixue, the head of Cangyu Pavilion, and her daughter Gu Qinghan of being rebels against the king. Now that they have encountered the Zhijin Guard, you dare to sit down instead of fleeing."
Do you really think I have no one to defend me?
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Gu Qinghan also subtly exuded an aura of intimidation.
Shen Miao was dumbfounded. She never expected that the sister she had casually taken in was actually a member of the rebel party.
But she quickly advised, "Sister Wei Qing, I believe that Sister Gu is not that kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding. Don't resort to violence so easily. Let me explain first."
Wei Qing chuckled: "The news from the Imperial Guard is absolutely impossible to be false!"
She dared not make a move; at fourteen years old, her cultivation level was only at the Martial Spirit stage.
Shen Miao was merely a martial arts master.
She couldn't see through the opponent's strength, nor could she see through Xu Tianyi.
It is said that he possesses the cultivation level of a Grandmaster.
The reason she dared to question was because of Shen Miao, and at the same time, she didn't completely trust the information in the case file.
Gu Qinghan on the other side remained silent.
Xu Tianyi said calmly, "Wei Qing, Commander of the Golden Guard, adopted daughter of the Prince of Qi, am I wrong?"
Wei Qing was stunned; she hadn't expected the other person to know her.
