Chapter 1657: Meng Qi Quietly Offers Food
Yuangui stared at Shu Yu in disbelief.
"They actually..."
After a moment's thought, he realized it wasn't surprising. As an orphan with no relatives, he had been bullied by the other escorts when he first joined the Jianghe Escort Bureau. The head of the bureau never stood up for him.
It seemed to be their way of doing things.
Yuangui took a deep breath and regained his composure. "How did Lu Xiangjun know about me?" He was just a nobody, after all.
"We were investigating Jiang Kuangyu and found information about you. They heard that you fell off a cliff and assumed the worst. But since they didn't find your body, they thought you might still be alive. Looks like your luck is not bad. What exactly happened back then? If you're fine, why didn't you return to Dong'an Prefecture, and why did you end up here and get into a fight with them?"
Upon hearing that they were investigating Jiang Kuangyu, Yuanqui's eyes brightened slightly, indicating that they knew Jiang Kuangyu wasn't a good person.
He regained some of his spirits and was about to speak when his stomach suddenly growled.
Meng Yunzheng, Shu Yu, and Meng Qi, "..."
Yuangui felt embarrassed, "I haven't eaten for two days."
He was indeed very hungry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state after the fight.
However, Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu didn't bring any food, and it wasn't practical to go out and find something to eat at the moment.
But just then, Meng Qi silently extended a hand from behind and handed him a pack of instant noodles.
Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu turned their heads abruptly, looking at Meng Qi with surprise—did you go out to find someone and bring food with you?
Meng Qi whispered, "I thought there might not be any food stalls outside, so I brought this just in case."
He had been staying in the secret room and hadn't seen the street scenes like Meng Yunzheng and the others did when they arrived yesterday. He thought it might be chaotic outside, and no one would dare to set up food stalls, so he brought the instant noodles.
Not only did he bring instant noodles, but he also had a small water pouch.
Now, it turned out to be a great convenience for Yuangui.
Seeing the food and drink, Yuanqui's eyes lit up. He quickly accepted it and started devouring the instant noodles.
However, the noodles were too dry, and his lips cracked without any moisture. Every time he ate, blood oozed out, making Shu Yu's eyelids twitch. She simply got up and stood outside to keep watch.
Yuangui quickly finished the noodles and drank all the water from the pouch, feeling much better.
In addition, Meng Yunzheng had good medicine given by Zhao Xi, so Meng Qi took the opportunity to give Yuanqui some of it. At this point, Yuanqui felt completely relaxed, and the pain all over his body seemed to disappear.
Shu Yu returned to the room, and Yuanqui wasted no time telling them about his experience on the escort route.
"When we arrived in the mountains about twenty miles from Changjin Prefecture's capital, we encountered a group of bandits. They were targeting Jiang Kuangyu, and I, eager to make a name for myself and gain recognition from the head of the escort bureau, rushed to his side to protect him."
Unexpectedly, it was all a conspiracy.
"At that time, Jiang Kuangyu was forced to the edge of the cliff and almost fell off. I rushed to pull him back, but we both ended up falling down. However, as we fell, I noticed he had a vine tied around his waist. There was a hole below the cliff, and two people in the hole pulled Jiang Kuangyu inside."
