Chapter 70 Secret Meeting with Mama Yang
Huan Yu took out a small purse from his arms and handed it to Xiao Bi.
"You never like to use spices. Here are some mint leaves. The smell will wake you up."
Xiao Bi took the small purse and smelled it. The smell was not strong, but the effect of refreshing her brain was immediate.
"Sure enough, it feels much more comfortable." She looked at Huan Yu with a smile: "Did you prepare it specially for me?"
"Who else would I do these things for except you?"
"Thank you." Xiao Bi suddenly held his face and kissed his thin lips twice.
Huan Yu was flattered, and his usually smart speech actually stuttered: "Xiao...Xiaojiu..."
If he had known that a few mint leaves could bring such a wonderful thing, he should have been more careful.
Just when she was about to get more benefits, Xiao Bi had already let go of her hand and leaned on the back of the chair.
"I have heard people say before that the terrain of Liuyun Country is steep, and there are not even a few flat areas in the entire country.
Therefore, they had to rely on meat as their staple food, and food became a real rarity.
Originally, I just listened to these words and didn't have any deep feelings.
In the past few days, I have learned a lot about how it is impossible to grow food in many parts of the country."
Huan Yu said: "You are really unfounded. People have been here like this for generations. You ask them to eat rice, noodles and vegetables every day, but they are not used to it yet."
"I don't have the time and energy to worry about things. I just feel that these people who eat meat as food don't smell very good.
I can't describe the smell, it's just very unpleasant." Xiao Bi wrinkled her nose.
Huan Yu smiled and said: "Beirong people also eat mainly meat. Why didn't I hear you say that I couldn't smell the smell before?
There are also Liang Ruoru and Pu Lan, you have been in contact with them so many times and you don’t dislike them at all.”
Xiao Bi rolled her eyelids: "Who were you in the past? How could I mention such a thing in front of you?
Liang Ruoru has always lived according to the habits of the Central Plains people, and Pu Lan has also changed a lot with him. They don't have that kind of smell at all, why do I dislike them?"
Huan Yu put his fist against his lips and coughed several times.
It was only today that he realized that such words were not suitable for discussion with a good brother, and could only be joked about privately between the husband and wife.
While he was talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Second Young Master, I have something to report to you."
"Please come in."
A Liang pushed the door open and closed it gently.
"Second Young Master, my subordinates have just received the news from Nanny Yang."
"How to say?"
"Mother Yang arrived last night. I heard that you and the princess have arrived in Tata City and want to meet you as soon as possible."
Huan Yu held Xiao Bi's hand: "When does Xiaojiu plan to meet this Aunt Yang?"
Xiao Bi said: "Of course, the sooner the better, the most taboo thing when doing things in a foreign country is that it takes too long.
If we meet Nanny Yang earlier, we can formulate a plan to rescue Miss Xing earlier and take her away from Liuyun Country before her whereabouts are exposed."
Huan Yu smiled and told A Liang: "As Xiaojiu wants, we will meet with Nanny Yang as soon as possible. The time and place will be arranged by her."
"Yes." A Liang responded and quickly walked out of the guest room.
Before dinner, there was a reply from Grandma Yang.
Miss Xing has been trapped in the palace for a whole year. In order to rescue her, Liang Ruoru's people have exhausted their efforts.
But due to their status, they can't even enter the palace gate, let alone rescue them?
Hearing that Xiao Pei and others had arrived in Tata City, Grandma Yang really couldn't wait any longer, so she made an appointment to meet at a clothing store in the west of the city at 10:00 tonight.
After receiving accurate information, Xiao Bi and Huan Yu prepared everything and rested for a few hours.
There is no curfew at night in Liuyun Country.
However, due to the limited national power, most people's lives are relatively poor.
Many people couldn't even afford to light oil lamps at night, and the streets were so dark that almost no one could be seen.
Xiao Bi and Huan Yu, dressed in night clothes, quickly walked through the streets and alleys, and soon found a clothing store in the west of the city.
Jumping in from the low wall, the two of them walked towards the lighted wing.
Four short and sturdy men were standing guard outside the wing. They were startled when they saw the two men and immediately gathered around them.
"Who?!" a man shouted sternly.
Before the two of them could answer, the door to the wing was opened.
The old woman dressed in simple clothes walked out slowly: "You must not be rude!"
The man's aura immediately dropped, and he bowed and said, "Mommy."
The old woman raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Bi and Huan Yu. After a while, she said, "Are you two distinguished guests from the Wei Kingdom?"
The two of them clasped their fists together: "That's right. May I ask if your surname is Yang?"
The old woman smiled lightly and blessed herself: "I am Grandma Yang. The two distinguished guests please come and speak in the room."
Xiao Bi and Huan Yu followed her into the side room.
The lights in the wing were brightly lit, revealing the faces of several people.
Grandma Yang is about the same age as Mrs. Liang, only in her early fifties.
But her hair was gray and her face was wrinkled, and she was thin and somewhat out of shape.
Thinking of his and her momentum just now, Xiao Bi and Huan Yu couldn't help but sigh, it is true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.
Just looking at her thin and dry appearance, who would have thought that those men outside would actually obey her words.
"Both of you, please take a seat." Grandma Yang raised her hand.
Xiao Bi and Huan Yu sat down as they were told, and she immediately asked with great concern: "My eldest son has been away from Liuyun Kingdom for more than a year. I only heard that he failed to complete the tasks assigned to him by the Lord of the Kingdom, and that he also worked for your country."
Captured.
Can you two tell the truth, what is the current situation of the eldest young master, and is he experiencing hardship?"
Her eyes were so anxious that Xiao Bi felt sour in her heart.
Mrs. Liang had passed away long ago, and she thought that no one in the Liang family would miss Liang Ruoru so much.
Unexpectedly, there is such an old woman who worries about him all the time.
"Don't worry, Nanny Yang, everything is fine with Mr. Liang and Pu Lan now. Although their lives are a little rough, they are not suffering."
Seeing that her attitude was sincere and did not seem to be telling lies to comfort herself, Grandma Yang's anxiety eased a lot.
"The two of you are willing to take such a big risk to rescue Miss Xing, which shows that you have a close relationship with the eldest young master.
Although I am just a maid in the Marshal's Mansion, I will definitely do my best to help you two."
Xiao Bi nodded: "We have never been to Liuyun Country, and we don't know much about the situation here. I would like to ask Grandma to explain it in detail."
Aunt Yang sighed: "The marshal's power is overwhelming, and the Liang family is one of the best in Liuyun Kingdom.
It’s a pity that the eldest son doesn’t agree with the marshal. He is obviously the eldest son, but his life is worse than that of a slave.”
It was a matter of other people's privacy, so Xiao Bi and Huan Yu didn't want to inquire about it.
But Nanny Yang took the initiative to mention it, and the two of them had to ask a few questions.
Chapter completed!
