Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Chapter 388 Change of plan

The news came from a lame little beggar. He was extremely nervous and rolled in front of Gu Qingyun like a wounded little fox, looking dirty.

Then he took advantage of the chaos to slip a note to Gu Qingyun. Gu Qingyun pretended nothing happened along the way until he returned to the inn, then he dared to open the note.

The content of the note was simple.

"The performance is five days early."

Gu Qingyun frowned at first, expressing his confusion. Normally, such performances were fixed and had already been advanced, so how could it be advanced again?

Then I became curious about what had happened that could have brought the event forward five days.

Gu Qingyun frowned. This Ubang was full of weirdness. He now doubted whether he could really trust Princess Sissi.

He called Xinhai and told him to go secretly to find Princess Sissi, and Gu Qingyun went out again in the dark.

Recently, there have been rumors that there are evil spirits causing trouble in Wubang. Many businessmen would rather believe it than not, and are unwilling to enter Wubang.

Of course, experienced businessmen knew immediately that this was a signal that a war was about to break out in Wubang, but since a war was about to happen, they were unwilling to go in.

There were suddenly many fewer people in Wuji City, and Gu Qingyun and his group seemed a little strange.

He didn’t buy much, and he refused to live in any other country. I wonder what he does in Wuji City every day?

However, this area was originally chaotic, so it was strange that no one dared to provoke them. What if these people were doing murder and robbery? If they were not careful and told fortunes here because of meddling in other people's business, it would be a waste of time.

Gu Qingyun walked north along Wuji City. He had to go to the territory of Dayan Dynasty to see if there was any secret letter. He was under a lot of pressure now. Not only did he have to hand in a memorial, but he also had a separate line of communication with the emperor.

Sometimes the memorial said one thing, but the news from the emperor said another. Now the time has suddenly moved forward again. Gu Qingyun didn't know whether he should believe it or not. He had to wait for Xinhai to come back to find out.

Sure enough, the emperor delivered another message. Gu Qingyun read it in the moonlight. It was probably telling Gu Qingyun to be careful in everything. Princess Sissi could not but believe it, but also could not believe it completely.

If she wants to change her actions, she should be cautious, act according to the circumstances, and not involve everyone else.

Gu Qingyun had no choice but to report back to Kyoto Prefecture the news that the action had to be advanced five days. Wubang was indeed not an easy place to deal with. Gu Qingyun did not want to get involved in their mess. The best thing would be to bring Madam Rong back as soon as possible, and then, in cooperation with the master, burn the chessboards of these people.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyun gently pinched the note, opened the fire and burned it to ashes.

When they returned to the inn, Zhang Qiu was staring at Gu Qingyun at the door with wide eyes. Gu Qingyun, who saw the resentful look in his eyes, thought something was wrong with him.

"The operation has to be advanced by five days. Lord Shaoqing, can we really trust such an elusive woman? Moreover...it seems that you are the only one who has met this woman face to face. It's not that she has captured you, so you are desperate to help her."

Gu Qingyun glanced at Zhang Qiu and realized that Xin Hai had probably returned, and turned back to look at Zhang Qiu, "If you don't believe it, what can you do? The Dayan Dynasty is a world of human relationships, which means that as long as you want, you can find the layers of relationships and find out where Madam Rong is.

But Ubang is different. It is not a world of favors, nor is it a place where you can get information by bribing a few people.

They are in the animal world, the strong are the kings and the weak are the sidelines. Even if you are rich and powerful, it doesn't matter, if you can't be the king, you will always have to submit.

Look at how their people are doing. What do you think we foreigners can get in return for these great kings?"

Zhang Qiu didn't expect Gu Qingyun to reply to him so seriously. He stared at Gu Qingyun in a daze for a while.

Gu Qingyun ignored him and walked inside to look for Xinhai.

"What did Princess Cece say?"

"She saw that it wasn't you who came, so she was very alert, and it wasn't too late at night, so she told me not to go to her recently. The shopkeeper kept a close eye on her, and she didn't know why, but she had a strong premonition that this war would not be so simple.

Because she is of Wubang and Dayan Dynasty bloodline, it is very likely...if there is any conspiracy, using her as a sacrifice would be the greatest insult.

She didn't know why the shopkeeper looked at her so closely, but she had a bad feeling.

She even suspected that this war was a joint attack on the Dayan Dynasty by several tribes... That's why she asked someone to deliver the message."

Xinhai repeated what he heard, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

It would be a lie to say that I didn't doubt Princess Sissi, but if I did, there was no other way.

Besides, I don't know if she is too smart and has guessed a lot of inside information, or if she is just a pawn to lure them into the game.

Gu Qingyun stroked his chin, "We can't completely trust her, nor can we completely distrust her."

As he spoke, Gu Qingyun took out a map and took Xinhai back to the public area. Zhang Qiu was still sitting there in a daze, looking very annoyed.

"Everyone, come here for a moment."

After saying that, Gu Qingyun stood there and looked at the map carefully.

People around came over one after another, but everyone's face was more or less tired. Even if it was good news for many people five days earlier, these days of fear in Wubang were more painful than death.

I feel like I could be hanged at any time.

Seeing people slowly gathering around, Gu Qingyun spoke.

"This is the place where we were going to meet that day. This is where we had originally agreed to meet Princess Ceci." Gu Qingyun pointed to a valley on the map. In fact, it was quite easy to escape from here, but... it might be difficult for people who don't know Qinggong.

"In order to prevent this from being a trap, we won't meet them here. There's a small meadow outside the valley, which is more open. Horses may not be able to catch up with us. But after the meeting, we absolutely cannot stay in Wuji City. Regardless of whether we bring Madam Rong back or not, we must return to the territory of Dayan Dynasty. So I decided to buy two more carriages and a few more horses so that we can run faster and ensure that we can escape even if it's a trap."

Gu Qingyun took a deep breath. This was the best way he could think of now. If even this method didn't work, they would either have to return empty-handed or never escape from Wubang.

"This plan is still risky, but we have no other choice. We can't negotiate with these people, let alone rescue a young lady who may know a lot of secrets."
