Chapter 19

Gu Mingzhu was worrying about candidates, when she heard what Guan Da said, she immediately became interested: "Does Uncle Guan have a suitable candidate?"

"I have a friend who should be fine."

Gu Mingzhu knew his skills, if he said yes, then it was not bad, and asked: "Who is this person?"

Guan Da smiled honestly, and said to the door: "Come in."

A 25-year-old young man walked in from the door, bowed his hands to Gu Mingzhu and said, "I've seen Missy."

Gu Mingzhu looked at Guan Da.

Guan Dao: "This is my cousin. My parents left early and grew up with me since I was a child. If it's about cooking, let's try it myself."

Gu Mingzhu said with a smile: "Uncle Guan said he can do it, so I naturally believe you, then he will be the one in charge."

Guan Da didn't expect Gu Mingzhu to trust him so much, he didn't even try, he was both happy and surprised, and admired her even more, he hurriedly said: "Thank you, miss!"

Gu Mingzhu said: "Since we have a chef, it's time to draw up the food list, uh..." Gu Mingzhu wanted to call someone, but he didn't know the young man's name.

"Pinggui, Guan Pinggui."

Gu Mingzhu smiled: "Pinggui, you are the chef, so you will be the one to draw up the menu."

Guan Pinggui nodded in agreement.

After all, Guan Da is the teacher's father. Once he came, half of the restaurant's problems were solved, and five staff members were recruited. They cleaned the restaurant again, and changed the layout of the lobby in order to take care of Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu discussed with Guan Dayi, and it happened that the Gu Family Restaurant reopened due to the excitement of the Huachao Festival in a few days.

The Huachao Festival is a tradition of the people of the Northland. In the season of welcoming the spring, a hundred flowers are in full bloom, and everyone enjoys the joy.

There was a long dragon swimming in the street early in the morning, the lively sound of firecrackers, the flower fairies that the common people scrambled to see, and the stage that was set up early.

The Gu family restaurant reopened today, and only half of the food cost for the first three days was charged, and there were about ten tables seated in a short while.

The back kitchen is in full swing.

Gu Mingzhu stood on the steps, watching the excitement from a distance, Guan Da came out from the door, saw her appearance, and said: "Miss, go and play, this Huachao Festival is only found in the north, young people should love to play .”

It was the first time Gu Mingzhu met Huachao Festival, she said she didn't want to go, it was a lie, took some broken silver, and went to the street alone.

The tinkling bells, and the beautiful flower fairy sitting in the lotus with a veil on her face attract the common people to watch.

Gu Mingzhu shuttled through the crowd, looking at the dazzling array of gadgets on the stall.

"Boss, how much is this?" She picked up a pair of scarlet earrings.

The vendor compared two fingers, and Gu Mingzhu tried to put it on, but just as she put it on, suddenly there was a rush of people behind her, Gu Mingzhu let go of her hand, and the other earring fell into the crowd.

"Look, the fairy has descended to earth!"

Peach blossoms fell all over the city, and the flower fairy jumped up with a red water chestnut in her hand, landed on the big drum, and danced gracefully.

Gu Mingzhu was pushed aside, surrounded by deafening cheers, she had no choice but to follow the flow of people forward.

Everyone should follow to the altar to watch the flower fairies sacrifice to heaven.

boom!
A loud bang.

Gu Mingzhu was overthrown to the ground by the panicked crowd, and countless flying debris mixed with the pungent smell choked her nose and mouth.

Ears buzzing, hands trampled on.

Before Gu Mingzhu recovered, she heard someone yelling: "Boom! Boom! The altar for worshiping heaven is blown up!"

The people panicked and fled in all directions.

Suddenly there was a pop in my ear.

The huge drum was immediately blown into powder, and the people who were close were blown away, and their flesh and blood flew all over the place.

Gu Mingzhu was not close to the drum, but she was also hit by the impact, her head buzzed, and she was hit by the blown corpse, and fell unconscious on the side of the road.

The officers and soldiers came quickly, Zhizhou summoned young and strong men to carry the injured people to major hospitals for treatment, and investigated the cause of the incident.

Zhou Huanqing was busy directing the scene, and suddenly his subordinates came down to report that the prince had arrived.

Zhou Huanqing felt like hearing the sounds of nature.

Xu Jue hurried over with his bodyguard Ming Yi, scanned the scene, and said, "How many dead? How many injured? Is there any clue about the investigation?"

Coming up is the three questions of the soul.

Zhou Huanqing bit the bullet and said: "My lord, the dead and the injured are being counted, because the explosion range of the altar and the flower drum is too large, and the major medical centers can no longer take the injured, and the matter is still being investigated."

Xu Jue frowned and walked forward: "It means you didn't understand one thing?"

Xu Jue said again: "Immediately send officers and soldiers to the major medical centers to inform them, set up a temporary rescue point at the door, and ensure that the wounded receive medical treatment, such a large-scale explosion..." He thought for a while, and said to Ming: "You Go check it out, there is something strange about the gunhouses in the city recently."

"Yes." Ming Yi hurried away.

After Xu Jue finished speaking, he had already walked to the center of the street. There was still a large amount of explosive powder left here, which was very pungent. Zhou Huanqing followed behind him tremblingly, not daring to speak.

Xu Jue's expression was not good-looking. Looking at the disabled people all over the street, he suddenly frowned: "Where's the person?"

Zhou Huanqing was taken aback: "Who?"

He was about to speak, when an officer and soldier ran over in a panic and said, "My lord, it's bad! The government prison has been robbed!"

Zhou Huanqing was shocked and quickly realized.

"Hit the east and hit the west!" Xu Jue said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, and immediately dispatch troops to seal the city gate! Let me see where they are fleeing!"

"Yes!"

Xu Jue was about to go to the government office, when he turned around and saw a fifteen or sixteen year old young woman searching for one by one on the street.

Xu Jue's heart sank, and she stepped forward quickly: "Chun'er? Why are you here?"

She is Gu Mingzhu's personal maid.

Chun'er's face was full of anxiety, as if she was about to cry: "Miss...Miss...We have searched all the medical clinics in the city, but we haven't seen Miss."

"What!" Xu Jue's face darkened, looking at the long street full of mourners.

She's here too?

A burst of fear rose in Xu Jue's heart, and he couldn't help but lower his head to look for it, his eyes swept over every piece of dress.

It was as if someone punched him suddenly, and panic rose.

How can she be here!
"Miss!" Chun'er desperately pushed the person away from a distance.

Xu Jue stepped forward in twos and threes, and finally saw Gu Mingzhu covered in blood. He immediately picked her up and hurried to the hospital.

Zhou Huanqing didn't know why, seeing him holding a girl covered in blood, he didn't dare to ask more questions, and followed him to the medical clinic.

There were wounded everywhere.

Xu Jue grabbed one of them: "You, show her quickly!"

He was already imposing, but now he had a gloomy face, followed by Licheng Zhizhou, the doctor immediately put down his work, looked around, there was no open space, and the backyard was full of people, so he simply took the pulse and observed her With a pale face, he quickly said: "This girl is fine, the blood is someone else's, she just fainted."

When Gu Mingzhu woke up, the room was quiet. She fainted for a while, and realized that this was a strange place. Just as she was about to get up, she realized that she was holding something and looked along.

It seemed to be dark, and the lights in the house were bright.

Xu Jue sat beside the edge of the bed.

She didn't know when she was holding his arm tightly.

Gu Mingzhu felt a little embarrassed, and was about to let go when he sensed movement and opened his half-closed eyes: "Are you awake?"

"I...why are you here?" Gu Mingzhu let go of him.

Xu Jue rubbed his numb arm and said, "Guess."

Huh?
Gu Mingzhu looked at him suspiciously, Xu Jue laughed lowly, and was about to speak, when there was a knock on the door outside, and Mingyi entered, "My lord, I've been caught."

Xu Jue suppressed his smile, got up and said, "You have a good rest."

As soon as Xu Jue left, Chun'er came in with a basin of hot water. Seeing that Gu Mingzhu had woken up, she was overjoyed: "Thank God, Miss, you're finally awake!"

"How long have I been dizzy?"

"Miss has been in a coma for a whole day. If the doctor hadn't reassured you that you were not injured, my son would drag him out and kill him." Chun'er wet Gu Mingzhu's face and hands with a dry towel.

Gu Mingzhu let her fiddle with it: "How did I get here?"

Chun'er then told Gu Mingzhu about everything after meeting Xu Jue.

She nodded understandingly.

Chun'er casually asked, "Did Miss have a nightmare when she fell asleep?"

Gu Mingzhu looked up.

Chun'er said: "Miss is crying so sadly, she has been calling Shizi's name all the time, and even dragging people away."

Chun'er thought for a while, and said seriously: "But Miss, why do you call Shi Ziye by name, if you want to call it, you should call it Young Master Yun..."
