Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

Chapter 124 Hongmen Banquet (Part )

Lu Che was about to leave with Tao Yao in his arms, but ten burly men suddenly appeared out of nowhere, captured him and Tao Yao, and pushed them into the carriage without any explanation.

The carriage door curtain was lifted by two maids, and Tao Yao realized that there were two people sitting in the carriage. One was the so-called young master, and the other was a man with silver hair. His forehead was covered with a black veil, but a large mole on the left corner of his forehead could be vaguely seen under the veil.

Upon seeing Tao Yao and Lu Che, the young master quickly stood up to greet them and warmly invited them to take their seats.

"My son is too playful and greedy to care about food. I have offended the two young masters and disturbed their interest. Please forgive me."

At this time, the silver-haired man suddenly spoke, which scared Tao Yao.

Perhaps Tao Yao subconsciously feared and resisted such powerful people, so she instinctively nodded and bowed to the silver-haired man, waving her hands and saying, "No need to bother! Young Master is a handsome man with extraordinary talent. Being able to eat is a blessing. I admire you so much that it is only natural for me to give all these barbecue skewers to you."

No one has ever used the phrase "being able to eat is a blessing" to praise someone. The silver-haired man and the young master looked at Tao Yao in disbelief. It had been a long time since they had seen such a stupid person.

"please."

The silver-haired man smiled politely and invited Tao Yao and Lu Che to take a seat.

To be honest, Tao Yao had never seen a carriage with such a spacious interior. She had once ridden in the carriage of Chunfeng Tower, which was extremely uncomfortable. Although the exterior was decorated gorgeously, the carriage was so crowded that she had to stay pressed against the wall. This carriage was nothing like this, which was spacious enough to accommodate a dining table, and four benches could be placed around the table.

Tao Yao looked around the carriage and found that there was an exquisite and small soft couch at the rear of the carriage. She thought that this small couch could provide a place for the owner to take a nap during long journeys.

Tao Yao couldn't help but marvel in her heart, this rich man is really different, he can even turn a horse carriage into a motorhome.

"You're welcome, eat as much as you want."

Seeing that Tao Yao and Lu Che were still not picking up their chopsticks, the young master smiled innocently and urged them to start eating quickly.

Although Taoyao loves to eat, she can't muster any interest in eating in this situation. She always feels something is weird.

However, since the host invited her so warmly and gave her such a big gold ingot, if she didn't give him face, what if he changed his mind and took the gold ingot back?

Tao Yao was startled and with one hand hurriedly squeezed the gold ingot deeper into her purse, fearing it would fall out. With the other hand, she quickly picked up the chopsticks to pick up the meat from the iron plate.

But the chopsticks had barely reached halfway when Lu Che stopped them in the middle. Tao Yao forced an awkward smile, trying to hide it, and whispered, "Lu Che, what are you doing... why don't you let go?"

However, Lu Che did not do as she wished. He pulled her sleeve and forced her hand holding the chopsticks back to its original position.

"Thank you for your kindness in treating us, but we're full and don't want to eat anymore," Lu Che said.

The young master frowned and said doubtfully, "You're talking nonsense! Just now you were trying to snatch the kebabs from me and said you were starving. How come you're saying you're full and don't want to eat anymore?"

Lu Che didn't answer him. He bowed respectfully, grabbed Tao Yao's hand, and was about to get out of the carriage. But as soon as he turned around, two burly men immediately emerged from the carriage door and blocked their way, making it clear that they were not allowed to get out.

Lu Che suddenly understood what was going on. He turned around, looked at the silver-haired man and the young master, and said with a smile, "Are you two nobles from the capital? Are you coming to Qingshui Town today to pray at the Flower God Temple?"

"That's right," the silver-haired man replied quickly. "I'm an outsider, not very familiar with this place. Judging from the way you two young men were standing on the street just now, you must be very familiar with Qingshui Town. So I'd like to treat you to a meal and, by the way, ask you to show us the way. As for that ingot of gold..."

The silver-haired man's gaze slowly fell on Tao Yao. Tao Yao was startled and subconsciously put the purse containing the gold ingots into her arms.

"Take that gold ingot as a thank you gift," said the silver-haired man.

Tao Yao immediately breathed a sigh of relief - why did the old man breathe so heavily when he spoke? She almost thought that the gold ingot that she had just obtained and was not even warm in her hands was going to fly away again.

"Well, that's fine. We're not locals, but we've been in Qingshui Town for a few days. Qingshui Town isn't very big, so we've wandered around and played around everywhere. In just a few days, we've gotten to know this little place pretty well."

Before Lu Che could open his mouth to refuse, Tao Yao had already gone up to him enthusiastically.

Lu Che felt helpless. It seemed like she couldn't change her greedy nature.

It doesn't matter. These two people don't seem to have any malicious intentions. It's just that their actions are a little strange. Maybe it's the temperament unique to rich people.

Lu Che was still trying to come up with an excuse to escape, but the next moment he saw Tao Yao, with her cheeks stuffed full, turn around and wink at him, calling out, "Come and eat, Lu Che, it's delicious!"

Lu Che couldn't persuade Tao Yao, so he had to follow her to the table. As soon as his butt touched the stool, Tao Yao had already thrown a chopstick full of barbecued meat into his bowl.

Tao Yao is always in a good mood when eating delicious food, just like her sparkling eyes at this moment, as if everything else is no longer important, and the only important thing is the mouthful of greasy roasted lamb in the bowl in front of her.

Seeing that Lu Che didn't move his chopsticks, the young master frowned in displeasure and said with a wry smile, "Why isn't this young man eating? Does he suspect we've poisoned the food?"

After saying that, the young master took a chopstick full of barbecued meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Before he had time to chew, he said with a mouthful of food: "Don't worry, young man, we definitely didn't do anything to this meat."

Lu Che felt a little embarrassed and quickly picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He didn't rush to chew it, but just tasted it with the tip of his tongue first.

According to Lu Che's many years of experience in the martial arts world, the meat tasted normal and should not have been poisoned.

Seeing the young master's fake smile, Lu Che felt a sense of unease. His gaze was fixed on his mouth, and Lu Che had no choice but to chew and swallow the barbecue.

Tao Yao suddenly thought of something, put down her chopsticks for the moment, and said with a smile, "By the way, didn't you ask us for directions? Where are you going?"

A faint smile flashed across the silver-haired man's face, and he said, "We heard that there's a miracle doctor living in Qingshui Town, his name seems to be Cheng..."

"Cheng Tianshui?" Tao Yao's eyes lit up.
