HCB Chapter 291 Breakfast
Chapter 291 Breakfast
After the robbery that occurred last night, the guests were still shaken and couldn't sleep well.
Some were even afraid to fall asleep, remaining vigilant at all times, clutching their money and keeping their eyes open until dawn.
Some timid guests checked out and left the resort after dawn.
The bolder guests didn't seem particularly scared after all the thieves were caught; they just went back to sleep.
After daybreak, they learned that the bandits were tied up in the courtyard. Knowing there was no danger, they all ran over curiously to watch the spectacle.
Consider it just a bit of entertainment provided by the resort.
Long Chuqing murmured, "They really have a big heart."
Qingshan asked, "Miss Long, would you like to go and take a look too?"
What's so interesting about bandits? They're all just slovenly, rough men.
"Go ahead and go if you want! I'm going to have breakfast first, and I'll come find you later."
"That won't do. I'll go with you. The prince instructed me to ensure your safety and not let you out of my sight."
Long Chuqing frowned slightly, somewhat displeased. What danger could she possibly be in?
She's not that fragile; she doesn't need someone to protect her all the time.
If there's real danger, who knows who will protect whom!
It did give me the feeling of being monitored in a roundabout way.
"It's unnecessary."
Qingshan smiled and said, "This is all the prince's idea. I am just following his instructions."
Long Chuqing sighed, "Let's go! Then you can eat some more with me."
Aoyama patted his stomach; although he had eaten breakfast not long ago, he could still fit in.
Breakfast offers a variety of options, including noodles, congee, meat congee, steamed buns, mantou, and pancakes.
Yang Yi learned that Long Chuqing was having breakfast in the dining room, so she came to find her.
Seeing her walking towards him, Long Chuqing smiled and asked, "Miss Yang, have you had breakfast yet?"
"I've already eaten." Yang Yi sat down opposite Long Chuqing.
"Would you like to eat some more?"
"I ate quite a lot this morning, so I'm not hungry yet!"
"Then I'll eat by myself." Long Chuqing continued to focus on eating her breakfast.
Qingshan, who was eating a meat bun next to him, lowered his head somewhat guiltily.
He ran into Yang Jing and Yang Yi in the dining room during breakfast and greeted them.
Not long has passed, and now we see him eating again.
Would Miss Yang think he has a big appetite?
Yang Yi glanced at Qingshan beside her, then rested her hands on the table, propped her chin up, and stared intently at Long Chuqing as he ate.
When Miss Long ate, she was neither too fast nor too slow, and her movements were elegant without being sluggish.
Unlike those rich heiresses who take a small bite and then slowly chew it.
Even when eating rice, they only eat a few grains at a time. It's elegant, but can they really get full that way? It looks quite tiring too.
It's more comfortable to look at someone like Miss Long, who doesn't act coy or awkward.
So watching beautiful women dine is a pleasure!
"hey-hey......."
As he watched, a smile crept onto Yang Yi's lips, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Long Chuqing looked up and met Yang Yi's smiling face.
She smiled and asked, "Miss Yang, what happy thing have you thought of?"
"Hehe...nothing else, I just think Miss Long is really beautiful, and the way she eats is also beautiful."
"Now I understand why men love looking at beautiful women. They're really pleasing to the eye! Even I, a woman, enjoy looking at them."
After speaking, she still looked at Long Chuqing with a smile on her face.
Long Chuqing: "..."
"Oh my... I'm so honored to be praised by a fairy so early in the morning! Even this gloomy sky can't dampen my good mood for the whole day."
"When I'm in a good mood, I even want to eat a little more for breakfast."
Yang Yi chuckled: "Hahaha... Miss Long's mouth is as beautiful and sweet as you! She's even better at praising people than I am."
"Hahaha..." Long Chuqing also chuckled.
Aoyama, standing nearby: "......"
You two are really something, acting like I don't exist!
Even men aren't as good at flirting as you two.
Your Highness should really learn from this.
He felt that the steamed bun in his hand no longer tasted good.
No... he has to learn it too, maybe he'll need it when he wants to find a wife in the future.
Girls all like to be praised.
"By the way..." Long Chuqing asked, "When do you plan to return to the city?"
"My cousin sent someone back to the city to report to the authorities this morning. If nothing unexpected happens, the officials will arrive this afternoon."
“My cousin said he would go back after handing the bandits over to the authorities. My brother is also going back; he has some things to prepare.”
I heard last night that Yang Jing was going to the border.
"Are you going to the border with the young general?" Long Chuqing asked.
Yang Yi shook her head: "I'd rather not go now. I want to stay in the capital for the New Year and go after the New Year."
“It’s almost the end of the year,” Long Chuqing said. “Going now would be a bit rushed. If you’re not in a hurry, it would be better to go after the New Year.”
"That's what I thought."
"Miss Long, Xiao Yi." Nangong Ming walked towards them.
Aoyama stood up and nodded to him in greeting.
Nangong Ming also nodded to him.
"Have you finished eating?" Nangong Ming asked.
Long Chuqing replied, "Yes, I'm full."
"Where's my brother?" Yang Yi asked, not seeing Yang Jing.
"He's keeping an eye on those bandits in the courtyard!"
“Let’s go take a look!” Long Chuqing stood up. “We just finished eating, so it’s a good time to go for a walk.”
“Okay! Let’s go!” Yang Yi also stood up.
-
After they came out, they walked towards the courtyard.
Even now, quite a few guests are still standing around watching, pointing and gossiping about the bandits.
Nangong Ming showed them no mercy, leaving them tied up in the open courtyard to be exposed to the wind and snow all night.
Having already traveled for several days along mountain paths to get here, they were exhausted and haggard, with unkempt beards and disheveled hair.
Adding to that the thick cotton coat covered in grease and dust, and the black boots smeared with mud, his appearance was even more disheveled and wretched.
Having been chilled in the wind and snow all night, it is now completely docile, having lost the arrogance it displayed last night.
The fierceness in his eyes was replaced by exhaustion and weariness.
The manor guards stood by with swords, keeping a close watch on their movements to prevent them from taking the opportunity to resist and escape.
Last night, Liu Yu led ten uninjured guards to watch over the area. The first, second, and third leaders tried to escape several times, but Liu Yu managed to subdue them each time.
Now that Yang Jing is guarding this place, and given that they are cold, hungry, and injured, there is even less chance of them escaping.
The bandits had lost the strength to resist, and hung their heads as if they had resigned themselves to their fate.
"Brother..." Yang Yi called out.
Yang Jing, dressed in a black cloak, stood upright to the side with his hands on his hips.
Even from a distance, you can feel his imposing aura.
Presumably, the bandits wouldn't dare to make any rash moves after meeting his piercing gaze!
He turned around after hearing Yang Yi's voice. "You've come."
