One person, one city, guarding the border for 30 years

Chapter 12 I Only Trust Him!
The fifth floor of the restaurant.

Lu Qingfan and Wan'er sat facing each other.

The clerks in the store came here again and again.

Food and drink quickly filled a large table.

Wan'er picked up a jug of wine and poured two glasses.

"Come, I respect you!"

Wan'er picked up the wine glass and smiled at Lu Qingfan.

"it is good!"

Lu Qingfan also raised his wine glass.

The two were too far apart to clink glasses.

"I'll do it first!"

Wan'er raised her neck and drank a glass of wine.

"nice!"

Lu Qingfan glanced at Wan'er appreciatively, and drank the wine in his glass.

"Taste the food."

Wan'er picked up the chopsticks.

"Ah."

Lu Qingfan took a bite of the dish.

"not bad."

Lu Qingfan smiled and said, "Unfortunately, you didn't do it."

"I'll try!"

Wan'er understood the meaning of Lu Qingfan's words, and responded with a smile.

"Ah."

Lu Qingfan nodded.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

"what happened?"

Seeing the expression on Lu Qingfan's face, Wan'er was a little worried.

"fine."

Lu Qingfan shook his head lightly.

He heard loud noises in the distance.

"Oh."

Wan'er picked up a piece of meat and put it on the plate in front of Lu Qingfan, "Try this again."

"Ah."

Lu Qingfan picked up the meat, put it into his mouth, and said, "You eat too."

"it is good."

Wan'er just started to eat.

After a while, Wan'er's expression also changed.

She also heard noisy voices, getting closer.

"what happened?"

Wan'er ran to the window and looked downstairs.

I saw a group of people rushing towards the restaurant, and soon surrounded the restaurant.

"Let's eat, it's okay."

Lu Qingfan didn't need to get up to know the situation outside.

But he still sat calmly, eating and drinking.

"it is good."

Wan'er looked at Lu Qingfan, and her heart calmed down.

Getting along these days has given Wan'er great confidence in Lu Qingfan, as if as long as Lu Qingfan is around, all difficulties can be easily solved!

He can handle even big things!
The two stopped talking and ate in silence.

Occasionally, Lu Qingfan would raise his glass, "Drink!"

"it is good!"

Wan'er will raise her glass calmly.

The two drank wine and ate vegetables, and before they knew it, they were almost full.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door.

You can tell by the sound that there are many people coming.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Although Wan'er's voice was immature, it was majestic.

The door opened, but only one person came in.

"You guys are waiting outside, don't come in without my order!"

"Yes, City Lord!"

The person who came closed the door, tidied up his clothes, and then walked forward.

Wearing an official hat, he looked to be in his 30s, with a fair face and a slightly respectful expression.

"Hello!"

The man came over and bowed to Wan'er, "I am Chu Huinan, the lord of Nanzhao City."

"Oh?"

Wan'er was a little surprised by the other party's attitude, "Do you know who I am?"

"Yes!"

Chu Huinan raised his head slightly, "I've seen your portrait!"

"Ah."

Wan'er was silent for a moment, then asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I want to pick you up to the City Lord's Mansion, and then send someone to escort you back to Kyoto."

Chu Huinan straightened up now, but still lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at Wan'er.

"Okay, I get it."

Wan'er waved her hand, "Go back, I don't need your escort, I have him enough."

After finishing speaking, Wan'er pointed to Lu Qingfan, "If you still have questions, I can tell you clearly."

"Before I arrived in Kyoto, I didn't trust anyone except him!"

"I don't believe in your strength, nor in your loyalty!"

Wan'er glanced at Chu Huinan, "Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Chu Huinan agreed, but did not move.

"Ok?"

Wan'er seemed a little angry, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"fine."

Chu Huinan quickly shook his head, "I just want to ask you again, what else do you need? I can do my best."

"I don't need anything!"

Wan'er's face softened a little, "You can go."

"Yes!"

Chu Huinan didn't dare to stay any longer, and after bowing and saluting, he slowly backed away.

He went out and closed the door softly again.

"What a disappointment!"

Wan'er glanced at Lu Qingfan carefully, "Let them disturb a good meal."

"I'm full and I'm full."

Lu Qingfan smiled, "It's rare to see your majestic side."

"Then shall we go?"

Knowing her identity, Wan'er didn't want to stay any longer.

"Ah."

Lu Qingfan nodded, stood up and looked out the window.

Columns of soldiers are leaving.

They left faster than they came.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the soldiers disappeared.

The street has returned to its former bustle.

Lu Qingfan and Wan'er went downstairs together, the scattered tables on the first floor were empty, and people were talking loudly.

"Do you know who was here just now?"

"City Lord!"

"Oh my God!"

"Such a big battle!"

"I heard you came to see someone?"

"Who?"

"Shh!"

Someone saw Wan'er and Lu Qingfan and quickly shut up.

"You are done eating!"

The shopkeeper rushed forward in a panic, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Ah."

Wan'er nodded and stopped talking.

"This is yours."

The shopkeeper took out a silver coin, held it in both hands, and handed it to Wan'er, "I dare not take it."

"Keep it."

Wan'er waved her hand and walked out.

"Yes."

The shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything more, and bowed to see him off, "Go slowly!"

At this time, the guests in the restaurant did not dare to make a sound, and everyone watched Wan'er and Lu Qingfan leave with horror on their faces.

It wasn't until Lu Qingfan and Wan'er walked out of the restaurant that the discussion sounded again.

"Who is she?"

"What a big aura!"

"Look at scaring the shopkeeper!"

"Don't talk about the shopkeeper, even the city lord, isn't it the same?"

"Really? Then she is a big shot!"

Someone couldn't help it, waved to the shopkeeper, and asked in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, who is she?"

"Don't dare to say! Don't dare to say!"

The shopkeeper shook his head, sighed, his face was still pale.

Thinking about it now, he was still a little scared.

But anyway, he was right about it.

Although he didn't get any benefits, at least he didn't suffer.

But if he doesn't report what he knows, and if he pursues it in the future, he may not end well.

After Lu Qingfan and Wan'er left the restaurant, the carriage stopped by the side of the road.

The two got into the carriage and drove out of the city.

Wan'er sat in the carriage, her eyes couldn't help but stay on Lu Qingfan again.

After a long time, she came back to her senses and asked, "Can I discuss something with you?"

"You said."

"Let's try not to enter the city in the future, don't bother me, and we may expose our whereabouts."

Wan'er said: "Although you are strong and are not afraid of anything, it is always good to save a little effort."

"Well, yes!"

Lu Qingfan nodded.
