Chapter 419 No One Is Here
However, they did not come to Beijing for sightseeing, so the two of them went straight to the hiding place, an ordinary house in a remote area.
When they arrived, Gong Ming and Yingying were not there, only an old steward was there.
After entering, Ling Chuan took the initiative to introduce Xia Mo's identity to the old steward.
"Uncle Shen, he is my husband, you can just call him Brother Ze."
Uncle Shen looked at Xia Mo, and the dull and dim eyes that he had before closing the door changed into a scrutinizing look.
Xia Mo smiled at him, "Hello, Uncle Shen." Although he is old, he has a restrained aura and his eyes are extremely sharp. He must be a very powerful person.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and the sharpness in Shen Bo's eyes faded, turning back into an ordinary old man, "Hello, my lord."
"Didn't Brother Chuan say it? Uncle Shen, you can just call me Ze Ge'er. Yingying and the others call me that too." Xia Mo said.
Uncle Shen nodded, "I've heard them talk about you. You're very good."
Awesome? In what aspect? His martial arts? Xia Mo thought about it and replied, "They must be bragging to you. I am not that great."
Uncle Shen pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed a stiff smile, "They are all amazing."
"Haha, Uncle Shen, you're overpraising me."
Mr. Shen must seldom smile, otherwise he wouldn't look so unnatural.
Listening to the dry conversation between the two, Ling Chuan asked Uncle Shen: "Will they come back today?"
"Yingying is probably busy, but Gong Ming might be able to come back."
"Did anything go wrong? Were there any casualties?" Ling Chuan asked again.
Uncle Shen shook his head, "No, everyone is fine, no problem for now."
"That's good."
Both of them felt at peace.
"Uncle Shen, go and do your work. Mo'er and I will take a break first. If they come back, ask them to come find me."
Ling Chuan gave some instructions.
Uncle Shen responded with a "yes" but did not leave immediately. Instead, he continued, "But you are tired from the journey. How about I make you something to eat? Eat until you are full and then rest?"
Ling Chuan looked at the young man, asking him what he thought with his eyes.
As soon as he looked at Xia Mo, Uncle Shen also looked at Xia Mo, "Do you have any favorites? I am an old man and my cooking skills are not bad."
Having said that, it would be embarrassing to refuse.
Xia Mo smiled and said, "I'm not picky, Uncle Shen, just do some for me."
"Okay, then you guys go inside and rest first." Uncle Shen turned and left.
Xia Mo watched him walk away, then turned around and said to her man with emotion: "Brother Chuan, you are not an ordinary housekeeper."
But think about it, everyone around Brother Chuan is capable, and it is impossible for them to be ordinary people guarding such an important place as the contact point.
"He is a veteran. He took good care of me when I first went to the battlefield."
Xia Mo sighed softly, "No wonder I always feel that you treat him differently. Although it's not very obvious, I can feel it."
Ling Chuan did not deny it, "Go in."
"Okay." Xia Mo followed behind him, "Brother Chuan, tell me more about you and Uncle Shen. Don't leave people in suspense by saying half of the story."
So when Uncle Shen was cooking for the two of them, Ling Chuan told the young man all his past.
It turns out that Uncle Shen was being modest when he said that his cooking skills were decent. Before he joined the army, he was not only a great chef, but also a well-known master in the Central Plains martial arts world. Unfortunately, he had too many enemies, and after his family was destroyed and his family members died, he ended up in the military camp...
After eating, the two returned to their room.
Because Yingying told Shen Bo that they would come, the room was already tidied.
The two of them first took a shower and washed up in the space, and then had a good sleep.
The sun sets and the night falls. Gradually, the last ray of sunlight in the sky is swallowed up. The moonlight in the sky is hazy, the starlight is blurred, the lights on the ground are bright, the lights from all directions complement each other, the silver light is shining, and the people are crowded with people coming and going.
This is the bustling night scene of Beijing.
After learning that Yingying and the others would not be back tonight, Lingchuan took Xia Mo out for a walk. Anyway, they were wearing human skin masks, so no one could recognize them.
