The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 269 I'll Drink With You

Xiao Ruan waited impatiently, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, her expression was fixed, and she immediately looked at Li Yun.

Li Yun nodded at her and went out towards the door.

I thought it was Zhao Yan who finally came to the appointment, but after Li Yun opened the door, it was the waiter who came in with a fruit plate in his hand.

"Guest officer, hasn't the person you're waiting for come yet? I'm afraid you'll be bored waiting, so I'll bring you some snacks to relieve your boredom!"

The waiter in the store glanced inside with a smile on his face, handed the things to Li Yun and left.

"Has the letter I asked you to deliver reached that person?"

Li Yun quickly explained: "Ma'am, this servant did deliver the letter to Duke Huai's entourage, and also saw that person deliver the letter to Duke Huai."

Disappointment flashed across his eyes, Xiao Ruan got up and walked to the window, the sun in the sky was shaded by a few clouds, hanging obliquely in the air, suddenly realized that he had been waiting in Shiweiju for an hour.

And for an hour, Zhao Yan didn't show up, obviously because he didn't want to see her on purpose,

Suddenly narrowing his eyes, Xiao Ruan's eyes flashed a flash of concentration: "Let's go."

There were people coming and going on the street, Xiao Ruan's carriage quickly joined the flow of people, and at a certain window on the third floor of Shiweiju, Zhao Yan was occupying the carriage watching Xiao Ruan leave, silent.

"My lord, you have already come today, why don't you go to the appointment?"

The person on the opposite side has doubts, if Xiao Ruan was present, he would definitely recognize that this person is the waiter who gave her snacks just now.

Zhao Yan raised his eyelids, glanced at the smiling face of the shop waiter, and snorted coldly: "When will it be your turn to ask about this king's matter?"

The atmosphere around him suddenly turned cold, and the waiter in the store was dripping with cold sweat. He slapped himself in embarrassment and laughed, but Zhao Yan didn't even look at it, and walked away directly.

When Xiao Ruan returned to the Hou Mansion and found that Huo Xun hadn't come back, she immediately asked Zhu Yun to inquire about his whereabouts, but Zhu Yun rushed back to report after a while.

"Miss, the concierge said that the general hasn't come back since morning, presumably he went to the barracks."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruan felt a sense of loss in her heart.

She was released by Zhao Yan, thinking about it all the way, feeling a dark fire in her heart.

If it wasn't for Huo Xun's refusal to tell her the truth, she wouldn't have to spend so much time finding someone to ask.

Obviously Zhao Yan wanted to threaten her with this before, but now he took the initiative to meet Zhao Yan but refused to meet.It is very likely that it is also a disguised statement that the current situation has reached a more serious point-she is no longer qualified to negotiate terms with the other party.

"You immediately send someone to the barracks to invite the general back, and just say that I have something urgent."

Xiao Ruan's voice was a little hasty, Lian Qiao noticed something unusual, and immediately went out to make arrangements.

The room quickly returned to silence, Xiao Ruan looked at the string of names she had written on the rice paper in front of her, her eyes darkened slightly.

Based on the words of Zhu Qian and Lu Hanrui, she roughly sorted out what happened ten years ago. After thinking about the names of several people, she unconsciously hooked up the names of the queen and Huo Ming with a brush.

Xiao Ruan always felt that what Zhao Yan used to threaten Huo Xun was very likely to be related to what happened ten years ago, but those people ten years ago, now only the Queen and Huo Ming remained.

And according to what Liu said, Huo Ming's behavior has been quite abnormal recently. She vaguely guessed a vague answer, but she couldn't guess what it would be.

Now she just wants to make Huo Xun clear with herself as soon as possible.

Time passed unknowingly, and the light in the room became darker and darker.Xiao Ruan walked out of her own thoughts, only to realize that the time had come to You, and Huo Xun still hadn't come back.

Walking slowly to the door, Xiao Ruan was about to ask someone to look for Huo Xun's news again, when suddenly he saw Lian Qiao running over anxiously.

"Miss is not well, the general is fighting with someone in the barracks!"

"What did you say!"

Xiao Ruan thought she had heard something wrong, but Lian Qiao took a few breaths and nodded heavily: "Miss is true, this servant went to the barracks to look for the general in person, and at the gate of the barracks I heard that the general had a fight with some dudes Get up. This matter has alarmed the prince, I am afraid that the general will not be able to come back for a while."

"Do you know why they fought?"

"This servant is not clear. The barracks is heavily guarded at this time, and no one is allowed to enter. The servant has not seen Li Yan, and I don't know if the prince is injured."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruan frowned. If it was the past, she might have thought that Huo Xun was cruel by nature and fighting with others was very common.But now, she has long seen that Huo Xun will never be the kind of person who can only use his fists but not his brain.

If he hit someone, there must be a good reason.

"If you ask someone to inquire about the news again, you must find out what happened. The general is injured again. If conditions permit, you must invite the general back!"

Xiao Ruan's voice was a bit tough, Lian Qiao nodded, and hurriedly backed out.

It was night, Xiao Ruan was no longer in the mood to eat, so he ate a few mouthfuls before Li Yun went to the barracks in person.

"Miss, it's freezing cold and you're inconvenient. Why don't you wait a little longer, maybe the general will be back soon?"

Xiao Ruan shook his head and insisted on going.

Forsythia has been gone for a long time, but there is still no news, obviously he has not seen Huo Xun yet.

From this point of view, I am afraid that the beating incident this time is more serious than she imagined.

But seeing that Xiao Ruan had already put on the cloak, Zhuyun wanted to persuade her again, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and after a while, the figures of Lian Qiao and Li Yan appeared at the door together.

"Li Yan, what happened to the general? Why did he fight with others? How is the matter resolved now?"

Facing Xiao Ruan's series of inquiries, Li Yan and Lian Qiao looked at each other, and then quickly comforted: "Madam, don't worry, the general just taught a few subordinates who didn't obey orders, it's not a big deal."

"Since it's not a big deal, why didn't your general come back?"

Xiao Ruan didn't believe Li Yan's words at all, she clearly learned from Lian Qiao that the fight had already alarmed the prince, no matter how you look at it, it was not a trivial matter!
Perhaps Xiao Ruan's eyes were too sharp, and Li Yan's eyes were a little dodged: "Ma'am, the general is very drunk now, and he refuses to come back with his subordinates."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared straight at Li Yan: "Where is he drinking? Take me there immediately!"

In the flickering night, a man in military uniform was sitting in a remote tavern, and the table in front of him was already full of wine bottles.

But seeing him holding up the jar of wine in his hand and pouring the last drop of wine down his throat, he still didn't feel satisfied.

He placed the wine jar heavily on the table, and immediately greeted the shopkeeper beside him loudly: "Shopkeeper! Bring me more wine!"

"Guest officer, our shop is closed, so you should stop drinking this wine, go back quickly!"

The shopkeeper came forward to persuade him with a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was pushed down on the table.

"Get the wine!"

Accompanied by the sound of the wine jar breaking, the man in military uniform held the shopkeeper's shoulder with one hand, and protruded two words from his mouth, his voice was as cold as ice for a thousand years.

The shopkeeper had never been so frightened before, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Guest officer, be merciful, be merciful...I, here I am, I'll get you wine!"

The man smelled of alcohol, but his mind was quite clear. He heard that the shopkeeper had agreed to bring him wine, so he immediately let go of the restraint.

"So that's how the majestic General Dingguo Hou bullied the people."

Just as the shopkeeper left, Huo Xun suddenly heard a cold voice, turned his head suddenly, and immediately saw Xiao Ruan with an angry face.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still, and the two looked at each other without speaking for a long time.

Seemingly knowing that Xiao Ruan had seen the dishonorable behavior just now, Huo Xun quickly flashed an imperceptible embarrassment.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the shopkeeper approaching the wine jar with trembling legs, but he didn't reach out to take it.

Xiao Ruan saw the embarrassment on Huo Xun's face, and suddenly stepped forward: "The trouble for the shopkeeper is that we bring ten jars of wine, and there will be nothing for you after that."

The shopkeeper was eager to close the shop, and when Xiao Ruan said that she needed ten jugs of wine, she immediately showed embarrassment, and a bank note of one hundred taels suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

After being stunned for a moment, the shopkeeper happily took it over.

"Yes! Ma'am, please wait, I'll get you some wine right now."

The shopkeeper carried the wine over and quickly piled it up like a hill.Xiao Ruan glanced at Huo Xun who was opposite, took the wine bowl and poured wine into it.

At this moment, Huo Xun inserted a hand horizontally and held down Xiao Ruan's pouring hand.

Xiao Ruan paused and raised his eyes.

Huo Xun had already drank no less than five jars of wine, and the front of his clothes was wet. The smell of wine on his body seemed to be stronger than the wine jars in Xiao Ruan's arms, and he didn't seem to be injured.

It seemed that he didn't dare to look at Xiao Ruan, when Xiao Ruan turned his gaze to his eyes, Huo Xun immediately shifted his gaze to other places.

"Wouldn't it be boring to drink alone, general, I'll just accompany you!"

A look of disappointment flashed across his eyes, Xiao Ruan shook off Huo Xun's hand.He poured a full bowl for himself, picked up the wine bowl and touched Huo Xun's wine bowl.

After the crisp sound of the porcelain bowls colliding, Xiao Ruan immediately raised the wine bowl to her own mouth.

"Ruaner!"

Seeing that Xiao Ruan was about to pour the bowl of wine into her mouth, Huo Xun snatched the wine back from her hand again.

"What do you mean, General? I still want to stay here with you so that I won't get drunk or return."

Xiao Ruan's eyes stared straight at the man opposite, and there seemed to be a small cluster of flames beating in his eyes.

Xiao Ruan saw everything before and after Huo Xun's attack on the shopkeeper just now. In her impression, Huo Xun was calm and silent, and definitely not like a bully now, bullying others at will.

Before coming here, she had sworn that Huo Xun would never hurt anyone innocently.But now it seems that since the crown prince has been alarmed and there is no wound on his body, the men who were beaten by him must be seriously injured.
