Chapter 256 Black Shop
Chapter 256 Black Shop
This thought became stronger and stronger in Qi Wuyou's mind, and she involuntarily reached out and grabbed Lu Yuqi's sleeve.
Lu Yuqi sensed her uneasiness, held her hand through her clothes, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Then, Lu Yuqi looked at the proprietress and said calmly, "Arrange a private room for us and prepare a few signature dishes."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The proprietress replied enthusiastically, and shouted to the kitchen: "Prepare a few signature dishes and send them to room number six!"
Then he turned around and said to Qi Wuyou and the others, "The food will be ready soon. I will take a few guests upstairs first."
Lu Yuqi nodded and followed the proprietress.
His steps were steady and his eyes were calm. He took the opportunity to look the restaurant up and down while going upstairs.
The others followed closely behind Lu Yuqi. Their expressions varied, but they all revealed a sense of tension and vigilance.
After arriving at the private room number six, Lu Yuqi said in a deep voice, "It's alright, nothing to worry about. The food will be ready soon and can be brought in."
His voice was deep and powerful, making people feel at ease.
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment," the proprietress smiled, then walked out and closed the door.
There seemed to be a hint of mystery in her smile, which made people feel puzzled.
After confirming that the proprietress had left, Lu Jiu came close to Lu Yuqi and whispered, "Father, something is wrong with this restaurant." His tone was full of worry and uneasiness, and he was obviously alert to the situation here.
An Ning rolled her eyes and lowered her voice with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Even you idiot noticed it, how could we not know it?"
Lu Jiu was slightly stunned, then reacted and asked, "Then what should we do?"
There was a hint of urgency in his eyes, hoping for a solution to the problem.
An Ning had already checked all the tea sets in the private room and came to the conclusion: "If you take a sip of this tea, you will definitely die."
There was a hint of seriousness and solemnity in her voice, which made people feel a chill.
Lu Yuqi nodded, then smiled at An Ning, "Luckily we have the little genius Princess An Ning, we are not afraid of poisons or anything like that, but if we get into a fight, it might be troublesome."
"It's okay, just do it if you can, I'm not afraid," Qi Wuyou did not stop him. After all, she still had a trump card given to her by Xuan Yelan.
"That's not necessary," An Ning said with a wicked smile, took out a small bottle from the small bag he carried with him, poured out a few pills and distributed them to everyone.
"What is this for?" Lu Jiu looked carefully at the pill in his hand.
At this time, An Ning and the others had already taken the medicine and explained, "This is the antidote to the drug specially made by this princess."
Lu Jiu understood and took the medicine as well.
After the proprietress and the waiters served the dishes, Lu Yuqi took out a silver ingot as a reward.
"Thank you, sir," the proprietress smiled brightly, took the money and left happily. Before leaving, she did not forget to let the guests eat while the food was hot.
"We can eat now," An Ning blinked, and took the lead in picking up the chopsticks to start picking up food.
"Of course," Lu Yuqi responded, and then he started eating, and the others also started eating.
They just put the dishes into their bowls and everyone tacitly agreed not to eat them.
Although the proprietress had left, Lu Yuqi keenly noticed that someone was watching them outside.
The sound of dishes colliding in the room made the people guarding outside relax a little.
An Ning took out several small bottles from her bag. Qi Wuyou remembered that An Ning had also given this small bottle to Xuan Yelan before, and it seemed to contain a sleeping pill.
After An Ning made the division, the few people looked at each other and started to act.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Oh, I feel dizzy too."
"Oh no, this is a shady shop!" After Lu Jiu shouted, he fainted directly at the door.
After several "bang bang" sounds, the person outside the door moved.
With a creak, the door opened and the proprietress came in with a few burly men.
"Hey," the lady boss no longer had that gentle look on her face, but a vicious expression on her face, "there's actually someone awake."
Lu Yuqi looked at the scene in front of him and sneered in his heart. As expected, this inn was a shady shop.
But he was lucky that they were prepared.
I saw those big men walking in aggressively with sticks in their hands, while the proprietress stood aside, looking at them smugly.
Lu Yuqi held the small bottle of An Ning tightly in his hand, then pretended to be weak and said weakly to the proprietress: "What do you want to do? We are just passing by here and have no ill intentions..." Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a plop.
Seeing this scene, the proprietress laughed out loud: "Humph, with your little ability, you dare to fight with me? You really overestimate your own abilities!" As she said that, she waved her hand and asked her men to drag these people out and deal with them.
Lu Yuqi's face was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, but he still stubbornly "held on" and stood tightly in front of An Ning and Qi Wuyou.
His lips trembled slightly, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth with difficulty: "Let us go, and I will give you everything..."
However, the proprietress let out a sharp laugh, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
She stared at Lu Yuqi with her sharp eyes and sneered, "Hahahaha, sir, you are joking. I run a black shop, how can I put food on the plate?"
Before she finished her words, her gaze suddenly passed Lu Yuqi and fell on An Ning and Qi Wuyou behind him.
She looked at them carefully, with a greedy smile on her face, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, these two girls are really pretty, they should be able to fetch a good price."
When Lu Yuqi heard this, her heart tightened, and she quickly protected the two of them behind her. She glared at the proprietress, her eyes full of anger and murderous intent, and shouted, "If you have anything to do, come at me! Don't hurt my daughter!"
The proprietress seemed frightened by his aura and paused for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.
She snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Okay, seeing that you are also a good father who loves your daughter, I will reluctantly leave you a whole body."
After saying that, she gently waved her hand, signaling the big men to start. The big men were seen holding long knives, smiling lewdly and walking towards them step by step, with the blades in their hands flashing coldly.
Seeing this, Lu Yuqi seemed unable to hold on any longer. His body slowly fell down, and his head slowly drooped.
In a flash, Lu Jiu suddenly stood up, holding a package tightly in his hand, and threw it at the proprietress with lightning speed.
