Chapter 304 Suspense
"Oh, I just ran into the guards outside. There was a policeman outside the mansion who called himself Zhang Hu. He said he wanted to see the girl. I wonder if she knows her?" Miao Er asked.

"Zhang Hu?" Qu Ruo asked, pondering for a moment, since he is leaving Qingcheng, it's okay to meet him, "Alright, let him in."

"Young servant, let someone invite him in." Miao Er immediately went down to pass on the message.

The plan was disrupted by Zhang Hu, Qu Ruowen originally wanted to meet him in another place, but after thinking about it, it might be better to just meet him like this.

After waiting for a while, Miao Er personally led him over, then guarded outside the door, did not leave, presumably worried about getting along with lonely men and widows.

Zhang Hu walked into the room and saw a table of dishes. The person behind the table was dressed in luxurious clothes, looking dignified and elegant. His gestures and gestures, every frown and smile, seemed to be a different person. Dendrobium is fascinated.

"Catcher Zhang, please sit down." Seeing Zhang Hu standing there in a daze, Qu Ruowen smiled faintly, Zhang Hu didn't wear the clothes of a catcher today, but a casual clothes, presumably he didn't work today.

Zhang Hu sat down as he said.

"Catcher Zhang, is your injury better? I've been feeling unwell recently, so I didn't go to see you." Qu Ruowen took out the warm wine and poured a glass for Zhang Hu.

"Why, are you uncomfortable?" Zhang Hu was still the same as before, caring about others first.

"It was indeed a bit uncomfortable before, but fortunately, the city lord took care of it for a few days, and it's already healed." Qu Ruowen said while paying attention to Zhang Hu's expression.

"Take care of yourself?" Zhang Hu forced a few laughs, "That's good."

"By the way, you came to see me today, but what's the matter?" Qu Ruo asked if he didn't notice Zhang Hu's expression.

"Actually, nothing happened. It's just that after leaving that day, I was a little worried about you, but the City Lord's Mansion is the safest place in the city. I think you should be fine, but after a few days of hesitation, I still want to come over to make sure." Zhang Hu confessed typical.

"As you said, nothing can happen in the City Lord's Mansion, which makes you worry." Qu Ruo asked indifferently, but seemed very polite, a bit distant.

"That's good." Zhang Hu looked very stiff, as if he couldn't adapt to the atmosphere here, and seemed to be dazzled by her now, as if he had lost the carelessness he had before.

"Zhang Butou, we may have fewer chances to meet in the future. I hope Zhang Butou will take good care of himself." These words came from Qu Ruowen's sincerity, but Zhang Hu felt even more sad after hearing this.

He smiled wryly and stood up.

"Slaves see the city master." Miao'er's voice sounded outside the door, and then Yan Qianlu's figure was already standing in the room.

"So there are people here!" Yan Qianlu had a puzzled look on his face, but when he saw Zhang Hu inside, he laughed. He was always vigilant along the way, and Qu Ruowen suddenly wanted to have dinner with him, so naturally Afraid of what tricks she played.

"My subordinates see the city lord." Hearing this, Zhang Hu turned around and bowed modestly to Yan.

"Aren't you the arrester from the day before yesterday? If you ask me, I appreciate you. The mansion just lacks a few guards. Why don't you work in the mansion." Yan Qianlu has seen Zhang Hu's skills and witnessed him. Rather than Qu Ruowen admiring him for his selfless efforts in maintaining law and order, it is better to say that he also admires Zhang Hu.

"If you ask?" Zhang Hu looked confused.

"It's a beautiful thing to be an errand in the city lord's mansion. I don't know what Zhang Butou thinks?" Qu Ruowen praised in his mouth, but his eyes flickered, which made Yan Qianlu very guilty. The majestic Lord of Qingcheng, who is still King Xian of the Qi Kingdom, feels like he has done something wrong, although he intends to transfer Zhang Hu to Qu Ruowen so as to protect Qu Ruowen's safety at all times.

It was only at this moment that Zhang Hu suddenly came to his senses, and only now did he know that the person whom he kept claiming to be his little brother was called Qu Ruowen.

"Thank you for the city lord's kindness. This subordinate appreciates it. I'm used to being lazy in the yamen. I may not be able to adapt to the rules of the city lord's mansion. Moreover, there are still a group of subordinate brothers in the yamen." Zhang Hu rejected Yan Qianlu Now that he saw the two of them, he felt panicked. If he worked here in the future, wouldn't he have to see them both day and night.

"Hey, how many people want to work in the city lord's mansion, but you refuse!" Qian'er glared at Zhang Hu angrily. Only the city lord has always refused people, so it's not the turn of others to reject the city lord.

"Qian'er, people have their own ambitions, how can you force others to do what they want, besides, Zhang Butou is still working in the city, and he still works for the people in the city, it's the same wherever he goes." Yan Qianlu didn't show any displeasure.

"It's a pity." Qu Ruowen sighed slightly. If Zhang Hu was working as an errand in the city lord's mansion, it would be better than being an arrester. However, Zhang Hu would be more comfortable when he was in the yamen.

"City Lord, this subordinate still has important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first." Zhang Hu bowed to Yan Qianlu, then glanced at Qu Ruowen, and stepped out of the door of the house.

"Qian'er, go and send Zhang Butou off." Yan Qianlu could see the desolation in Zhang Hu's eyes, just like the back view at that time, but there was no way to do it.

Although Qian'er showed some reluctance, she never meant to disobey Yan Qian's law: "Your maidservant will go now."

With words and humility, Miao Er seemed to have accomplished everything, and when it was time to retire, she sent off with Qian Er.

When the room was quiet again and the two of them were alone, Yan Qianlu asked, "I heard from Qian'er that you are looking for me, but is there something wrong?"

"I wanted to tell you during the meal that I wanted to go outside, but now there is no need." Although Qu Ruowen didn't say it clearly, Yan Qianlu immediately thought of Zhang Hu, probably because of his preconceived ideas. He didn't think too much about it.

"You take good care of him." Yan Qianlu said.

"There shouldn't be many arrests like this in Qingcheng, even if they are put in Qi Country, there may not be many." Qu Ruowen tried his best to make Yan Qianlv go in the direction of misunderstanding.

"That's true. I think he doesn't want to stay here, it should be because of you." Yan Qianlu picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up some food, but was interrupted by Qu Ruowen.

"City Master, these dishes may be a little cold, let them be warmed up later, shall we eat?" Qu Ruo asked as if he didn't know everything.

Yan Qianlu flicked his hand, and the plate was still slightly warm: "Forget it, it's so late, after I'm hungry, I won't have an appetite."

As he said that, Yan Qianlu unpreparedly ate some of his favorite dishes one by one, and it turned out that they were all the ones that Miaoer had mentioned.

The mouth of the servants of the City Lord's Mansion is too loose. In this way, Yan Qianlu's hobbies and habits are easy to be used by others. I thought Yan Qianlu should be a very cautious and observant talent.

"What's the matter, is there something on my face?" Qu Ruowen looked at Yan Qianlu and felt that something was wrong with his whole body. He reached out and touched his face. Logically speaking, he hadn't touched anything, so he shouldn't be able to.

"It's nothing, I just feel that although the city lord has passed his thirties, this skin is comparable to that of King Jing and Yi." Qu Ruo asked.

"So, I would like to thank you for your compliment." Yan Qianlu could only smile wryly when asked by Qu Ruo that it was neither a compliment nor a derogation, "Brother Huang is the eldest son of my father, and I am my father The youngest son of the emperor, and Ah Jue is the second son of the emperor's brother, how far do you think we can differ?"

"I don't understand. Since you are leaving the palace, why not be a real idle king, like Li Ge, and become the city lord here?" Qu Ruowen seemed to be chatting, and told Yan Qianlu familiarly He took a glass of wine, poured himself a glass, and drank it slowly.

"In the palace, there is always something going on." Yan Qianlu didn't talk much about his own affairs, thinking that it was related to the secrets of the palace, instead he talked about Wei Lige, "Just like that kid, the Wei family has a last resort for him when."

"That's true." Qu Ruo asked without asking.

Yan Qianlu seemed to be really hungry. He ate a lot of dishes, and even tried all seven dishes and one soup. I really don't know what he was thinking. I thought about using the medicine, but I didn't expect it to be surprisingly smooth.

"I don't know if I'm really hungry, but today I think these dishes are very appetizing." Yan Qianlu ate non-stop, and accidentally raised his head to catch a glimpse of Qu Ruowen, and asked, "Why don't you eat?"

Qu Ruowen picked up the vegetables, took a bite, and wondered while eating, "Aren't you afraid that I'll put medicine in the vegetables?"

"I've eaten so much, but I still haven't responded, so you probably haven't taken any medicine." Yan Qianlu said with certainty, but despite being nervous, he still slowly reduced his food intake.

"Medicines can be fast or slow according to the effect of the medicine, and there are also speeds and slowness according to the dosage. Doesn't the city lord know that seeing blood and sealing the throat can kill people immediately, but can people live for a while if they take a small amount of arsenic slowly?" Qu Ruo Wen explained with a smile that Yan Qianlu had already taken the medicine anyway, so she also had the time to talk slowly until Yan Qianlu collapsed.

"I have no grievances or enmities with you. At most, it's just delaying time. You shouldn't be so ruthless." Yan Qianlu lost his appetite at all.

"Of course not, Qingcheng is still supported by the city lord." Qu Ruowen smiled lightly, "It has caused trouble to the city lord."

"That's good, that's good." Yan Qianlu suddenly felt that the dishes on the table had become delicious again.

"But I added something else to the dish." Qu Ruowen smiled innocently, as if what she added was just a seasoning.

"Ahem..." Yan Qianlu covered his mouth and coughed violently.

"Is what I said very stimulating? Shouldn't the city owner be aware?" Qu Ruo asked on deaf ears, but she wanted to see if Yan Qianlv was really scheming or if the city was extremely deep. She didn't believe a man from the palace Those who come out will be such simple people.

"Although I was really worried about you taking the medicine before, I haven't seen anyone who took the medicine and confessed it." Yan Qianlu was so frightened that his heart trembled, even his stomach trembled.

"Because the city lord has already eaten the food, even if I tell the city lord, I don't think it will have much impact." Qu Ruowen was confident.

"You're not afraid..." Yan Qianlu suddenly felt his eyes go blurry, and Qu Ruowen's figure overlapped, and suddenly jumped on the table.

Qu Ruowen bent his lips and smiled: "Of course I'm not afraid of you calling outsiders in, because they must think that we are doing something ulterior, and they won't bother you if they are smart. All of this is the indulgence of the city lord the result of."
