"You are brought here by the Grand Princess."

Qin Huafei held the remaining half string of candied haws in her hand, turned around and saw the inn shopkeeper bowing to the ground.

"Answer the question from this palace truthfully." Qin Huafei said coldly.

"Yes..." The shopkeeper was trembling.

"When did the young man who lives here come?" Qin Huafei asked.

"I came this morning and paid two days' worth of the room and said I would leave tomorrow." The shopkeeper replied respectfully.

"Have he been out today?" Qin Huafei asked again.

The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, I went out for a while and came back in the evening. I must have had my meal outside."

Qin Huafei glanced at the candied haws in her hand and asked again: "Have he ever said where he will go tomorrow?"

The shopkeeper shook his head slightly: "No. I just accidentally heard the other young master mention Kaiyuan City."

Qin Huafei frowned: "What did you say? He isn't alone?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "The young master who lives here comes with the guest next door. The young master talks more and looks young, and they look younger, and they look like brothers."

"That... how tall is that person? Is he really a man? Or is he dressed as a man?" Qin Huafei's eyes flashed slightly.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "What a man. The two young men are of the same size. The one next door is a bit stronger. The young men who live here are thinner."

"What else do you know about those two?" Qin Huafei asked.

"I really don't know anything else." said the shopkeeper.

"Get out." Qin Huafei said.

After everyone else left, Qin Huafei looked around in the room. There was nothing else except the coat left by Song Qingyu. The next room was messy, and it was obvious that the guest was leaving in a hurry.

But Qin Huafei was nearby at that time, and no one noticed that anyone had left.

"Young Master Shangguan..." Qin Huafei's slender fingers gently stroked the green feather jade ornament on the waist of Song Qingyu's clothes on the table.

Soon, Qin Huafei ordered his subordinates to continue searching other places according to the original plan. The next search was carried out secretly. She herself took Song Qingyu's clothes and half a string of candied haws, and secretly returned to Kaiyuan City.

It's dawn.

Su Tang and Song Qingyu arrived in Kaiyuan City.

In order to prevent what happened last night from happening again, the two did not stay in the inn. They found the tavern mentioned by Qin Zheng and Ruyi in an alley in Kaiyuan City.

A flag was inserted on the door of the tavern and a wine jar was painted on it. An old man with white hair was hunched over his back and was wiping the only two tables, but there were no guests.

Hearing the footsteps, the old man slowly turned around and looked at Su Tang and Song Qingyu. Without saying a word, his old finger pointed to the wooden sign hanging on the wall, "Wine, 10 taels a jar".

This is not cheap, there is no wine, and there is no option available.

Song Qingyu bowed: "I want to buy a jar to relieve my sorrow."

The old man raised his eyes, which were originally cloudy and drooping, and snorted softly: "Who told you? The shop has no such tricks!"

This tavern has a long history and is not a wine-free service. It is the service provided by this store behind the scenes. As long as you can afford the price, you can buy any news you want, fidelity.

"Then, I want to buy a jar to relieve my worries." Song Qingyu smiled.

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly: "Where does the guest come from?"

"From wherever you come from," said Song Qingyu.

"What do you want?" asked the old man.

"Where to settle down," said Song Qingyu.

The old man turned around and walked back after hearing this.

Su Tang muttered: "What a mess..."

Song Qingyu used his eyes to signal Su Tang not to make trouble, and pulled Su Tang to follow the old man, walked through the tavern, and entered a quiet courtyard.

There are wells and millstones in the yard, and the food used to make wine is dried on the ground, and there are more than a dozen large wine jars, and the strong aroma of wine is wafting in the air.

"Why is that boy not dead yet?" the old man asked without looking back.

Song Qingyu replied: "Uncle Qin asked his juniors to ask him how he is."

The old man snorted coldly: "The airs are so arrogant. No matter what he sent you two little guys to do, I can't help. For the sake of a master-disciple, this room is for you, and I can't live in love."

The old man finished speaking and pushed open a room in the corner, and the dust was flying, and it was obvious that no one had lived in a long time.

"Thank you, senior." Song Qingyu bowed and thanked.

The old man turned around and went to the tavern in front. Su Tang and Song Qingyu walked to the door. It was dirty and messy inside, and there was a faint smell of musty smell.

"Don't tell me, I want to live here?" Su Tang pinched his nose, took two steps back, and expressed his refusal.

"That is the master of Senior Qin Zheng, Aheng's master, his surname is Yuan." Song Qingyu said.

Su Tang shook his head: "I didn't see it. Lao Qin asked us to come over and ask him for help?"

"No. Uncle Qin said, let us come and accompany Senior Yuan and help him do some work if you have time." Song Qingyu shook his head slightly.

"I didn't do anything serious, and he has no customers in this small broken shop!" Su Tang snorted softly.

"We need to settle down temporarily to do things. This place is much safer than the inn." Song Qingyu said, rolling up his sleeves, picking up the broom from the corridor, and going in to clean.

Su Tang was lazy and saw a recliner under the tree. He fell down there and stopped moving. Song Qingyu didn't care about him.

I swept twice, wiped it three times, opened the window to ventilate, and the room finally looked like it was, and it was quite spacious.

Song Qingyu went out secretly, got two sets of quilts and came back to lay them. There was only one bed, and a mat was laid on the ground.

Su Tang met Meng Jing in his dream, with a smile on his lips, and suddenly he was spinning and was photographed face down on the ground!

As soon as he got up, the old man Yuan patted Su Tang back with a broom: "You will enjoy it! You don't have food to eat if you don't work!"

"I'll go out to eat." Su Tang said very unhappy. This is not his master, nor is it his master, and he has such a big temper.

"Don't come back when you go out!" Old man Yuan said angrily.

"Senior, don't be angry with him. I can do anything I have." Song Qingyu hurried over to rescue the situation.

The old man Yuan glared at Song Qingyu: "You go and cook!" Then he pointed at Su Tang with a broom, "Come here, move all the wine jars over there!"

"What's the difference between putting it here and putting it there?" Su Tang asked without understanding.

"I don't like it!" The old man waved the broom again.

Song Qingyu smiled. Before Qin Zheng reunited with Ruyi, he had a very bad temper. It seemed that his apprentice followed his master.

Su Tang didn't want to work, and felt it was boring, so he ran away, intending to go out to eat and drink, but the old man Yuan was pulled back and threw him on the ground like throwing a sack.

After being beaten up for a long time, Su Tang, who was frantically tempted by the beating, finally became depressed and got up and went to move the wine jar silently.

When the old man Yuan left again, Song Qingyu poked his head out of the kitchen and gave Su Tang a look, "I said he is Aheng's master, you are still looking for a fight."

Song Qingyu used to know how to cook, but he had been sailing on the sea for a long time before. He had learned several dishes from Bingyue and Ye Ling, which were the favorites of Song Feng Wenmin and Xue.

Last time, Song Qingyu made a table of dishes for the three old men. Wen Min and Xue were very moved at that time. Song Feng smiled and said, "A Yu, you are really, there are few women who can match your appearance. You have learned cooking skills well and have a higher vision. When can we hold our grandson?"

At that time, Song Qingyu smiled and said, "It's not for her to get married to me to wash and cook."

During the day, there were no guests in the tavern, and the old man in the middle and out were greeted by himself. He smelled the aroma of the food, and he slowly came back. Su Tang had moved more than a dozen large jars of wine from the left side of the yard to the right side, sitting at the kitchen door gnawing on the chicken legs.

Song Qingyu made four dishes and one soup with existing ingredients. Old man Yuan was a little surprised: "I didn't see that you are a kid, you have bothered things!"

"He is just average! The dishes made by the ghost girl are delicious! But no one is as good as my wife, haha!" Su Tang said as she drank a bowl of soup that Song Qingyu gave him.

"Who is the ghost girl?" asked the old man Yuan.

"Your grandson-in-law!" said Su Tang.

"Does that kid have a son?" Old man Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Song Qingyu smiled and said, "Senior, don't get me wrong. Su Tang is talking about Xiao Ye, the wife of Uncle Qin's apprentice and his adopted daughter. However, Uncle Qin does have a son, but he is only three years old this year."

The old man Yuan frowned: "Eat! Let's talk about it after eating!"

Song Qingyu didn't know how to cook many dishes, but they were all very good. The old man from the original state ate a lot and expressed satisfaction.

After dinner, the old man Yuan squinted his eyes on the recliner and took a nap. Song Qingyu fanned him while telling him about Qin Zheng and Ruyi.

Su Tang, the new waiter, snuck a few bowls of wine, lie down in the tavern and slept soundly.

After hearing what Song Qingyu said, the old man Yuan said nothing, as if he was asleep.

Song Qingyu took a blanket to cover him, and then went to the kitchen to clean up.

Old man Yuan closed his eyes and murmured: "I'm still together..."

Kaiyuan City Grand Princess Mansion.

Qin Huafei listened to his subordinates' reports and had once again secretly investigated all the inns in the city. From yesterday to today, there was no situation where two young men checked in together.

Qin Huafei came back to find Song Qingyu. She was moved by that man and didn't want to miss it.

"Let's check, check it one by one." Qin Huafei ordered.

Night falls.
