Chapter 1429 Pride and Prejudice and the Escort Agency
The surroundings suddenly became very quiet.
Only the sound of the night wind rustling through the woods could be heard.
Lu Erniang's voice was loud enough for everyone to hear her words clearly.
The people she brought with her all burst into laughter, and some bold men looked at Luo Qingyan with malicious eyes, even focusing on his lower body.
The people on Shi Li's side all showed subtle expressions, and for a moment they didn't know how to react.
Facing the complicated looks, Luo Qingyan lowered his head and clenched his fists, with veins even popping out on the back of his hands.
Shi Li saw it out of the corner of his eye, and fearing that this little ancestor would make a fuss, he quickly glared at him.
Then he took out a silver note and looked at Lu Er Niang sincerely.
"Sister...if someone likes me, I will do whatever it takes to help them get married. But I am escorting that young man home this time. Sending him home is a small matter, but losing the escort is a big matter. If he gets into trouble, I won't be able to escort him anymore. Sister, please have pity on me!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Erniang's face. She didn't expect Luo Qingyan to be the employer this time. She looked at him reluctantly, knowing that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.
She originally stopped the Wenchang Escort Agency just for the money and didn't want to break up with them. Just now, when she saw that Luo Qingyan was handsome, she suddenly had the idea of finding a new husband for herself.
"I see. Just now, when I saw the girl was so reluctant to leave, I thought it was her lover!"
Lu Erniang retracted her gaze, took the banknote handed over by Shi Li without hesitation, glanced at Luo Qingyan frivolously, and teased in a low voice, "Sister, believe me, this man must..."
"Sister, you don't know that my employer has a pretty face but is actually a useless person."
Sensing that the female bandit was about to say something nasty, Shi Li quickly interrupted her, but she didn't expect that what she said casually wasn't much better.
[Host... if I were Luo Qingyan, I'd be furious if I said that~]
[Embroidered pillow hehehe~ Host, how did you know that hehehe~]
[Hehehe~Hehehe~Hehehe~Hehehe~]
"Sister, how do you know he is a useless person?" At this moment, the barrage of comments actually had the same train of thought as the female bandit. Lu Er Niang winked at Shi Li ambiguously.
Shi Li felt like the hairs on her body were about to explode, and she hurriedly explained: "Sister, don't tease me. Even if there are no men left in the world, I still won't look down on him!"
"Okay, okay, if you don't like it, then don't like it! I won't delay my business anymore. Next time when I'm not escorting, remember to come and have a drink with me!"
After finishing her business, Lu Er Niang did not delay any longer. After all, this place now belonged to Shi Li, and she was worried about staying here any longer. So she took the silver note given by Shi Li and left with her people contentedly.
The sound of horse hooves became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely in the night wind.
Shi Li and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of most of their vigilance.
Every place has its own rules. Since this place is under the management of Lu Er Niang, it is highly likely that no one else will have any ideas about it.
As long as a few people are arranged to watch over the place in the second half of the night, the others can also breathe a sigh of relief and have a good sleep.
As Shi Li retracted her gaze and turned to look at the campfire, she heard the sound of Luo Qingyan gritting his teeth.
"What did you say to that female bandit just now?"
Shi Li's voice was not loud just now, so Luo Qingyan didn't hear it, but Lu Er Niang's voice and expression were so obvious that one could tell at a glance that she didn't say anything serious.
Shi Li turned her head and looked at his livid face. She sneered without any guilt and asked instead, "Do you really want to follow him and become his husband? If I really ruined your good fortune, how about I go and call him back for you?"
Luo Qingyan: ...
He also didn't expect that he would be defeated by Shi Li twice in one day and was so blocked that he couldn't say a word.
"Okay, it's getting late. The tent over there has been set up. Mr. Luo, go to bed quickly. We have to set off early tomorrow morning." Shi Li was afraid that he would continue to ask questions, so she changed the subject.
Luo Qingyan looked at the only tent and asked unconsciously: "What about you?"
Shi Li was the only girl in the group, and she didn't expect that there wasn't even a tent to rest.
"I'm vulgar and don't look like a little girl, so I don't need a tent." Shi Li once again used the words that Luo Qingyan had said to her during the day.
