Chapter 121.1 (1/2)
Chapter 121.1
Xia Country’s climate was warmer than that of other countries . This creates a beautiful scene where Xia Country’s fertile gra.s.sland stretches endlessly . The wind blowing on the gra.s.s and all year round herding sheep and cattle made Xia Country appear more bold and free than other countries . Of course…this only exists among ordinary people .
The capital of Xia Country was far away from the gra.s.sland . With the enchanting scenery of the city walls, being prosperous, it gradually loses the heartiness of the herdsmen, and has a little more intrigue .
At this moment, in the crowded and lively capital of Xia Kingdom, in a bustling inn, there were six/ seven eye-catching men and women sitting .
“Sure enough, my decision was right . I can’t bring Xiao Shang Shu out, otherwise it would be contagious! See how smooth our journey is and how long it took to get here . We didn’t even encounter a thief along the way . ” A slender white-clothed boy sitting on the edge was whispering to the blue-clothed boy, proudly complimenting himself .
“Yes, you were the most thoughtful . After travelling continuously for a few days with nothing good to eat, your face has gotten skinny . Be good and drink the osmanthus soup . ”
The man in black, Su Wuduan, stared at the two people who were showing off their affection . Listening to it made the chopsticks in his hand shake and almost fall into the soup in front of him .
What do you mean by not having a good meal? What do you mean her face being too skinny? Please! Who ate all the dry rations they brought? Who alone ate the grain that was meant for all of them causing them to use all the money for accommodation to buy more food? She almost made them sleep on the streets!!!
He has never seen a woman who can eat better than his junior sister in his life . Yet, no matter how much she eats, her belly won’t get bigger . This girl was no longer just a rice bucket, this girl’s belly was clearly a rice jar, a bottomless pit!
The boy in white was Xia Yuqing dressed up in disguise . She obediently took the porcelain bowl from the boy in blue, Feng Tingye, and slowly drank the soup inside . Then as if she sensed something, she raised his head: “By the way, senior brother, shouldn’t you be staying in the capital to help Master learn mechanism arts, what are you following us for?”
Su Wuduan straightened his face and coughed lightly, “You still have the guts to say that to me? Last time you betrayed me in front of my father while I was in bed…”
“Hey, that matter has nothing to do with me . Don’t blame people! It’s… Cui Er who opened her mouth . ” Xia Yuqing quickly interrupted the unprovoked complaint, and pointed to Cui Er on the side .
Cui Er raised her head and looked at Su Wuduan, and admitted: “It was me, but I remember that I haven’t promised anything to Master Su? The words I said to Xu Lao were just the original words of Master Su . If this caused troubles for Master Su, then I ask Master Su’s forgiveness . ”
“…” You are ruthless! Su Wuduan took a deep breath and continued: “Well, it’s my own fault, I won’t blame you guys . But anyways, in the end father found out about it . He was so angry that he rushed to my room and beat me . It made me even more injured . Fortunately, Qingyan saved my life with his excellent medical skills . After that, my dad wouldn’t allow me to enter the secret room where he studied mechanisms . So, instead of staying in the capital and cause more annoyance, it was better to come out and breathe . ”
“If you came out for some fresh air, why are you keep following us? The roads are wide and we can each walk our own path . From today on, let’s go our separate ways and see each other sometime in the indefinite future . ”
“…Don’t, don’t, it will be very useful to take me . I am not a person with a bad sense of direction and actually an expert for wandering around Jiang Hu . No matter where you want to go, as long as you can say the name of the place, I will be able to take you to that place right away . ”
Xia Yuqing touched her chin . He sounded like a natural GPS navigator . This was indeed something very useful: “Then do you know where the mansion of my eldest royal brother’s is?”
“Uh…Your eldest royal brother’s mansion, is that the place’s name?”
Xia Yuqing blinked innocently: “That isn’t enough?”
“…Forget it, but aren’t you the little princess of Xia Country? Why don’t you even know where the gates of your eldest royal brother’s mansion is?”
“This…” Xia Yuqin choked, feeling guilty .
Su Wuduan glanced suspiciously at her, then when she was about to reply, someone behind Xia Yuqing intercepted her conversation: “The eldest prince and the second prince both came out of the palace and built their own mansion after Qing Er came to Ye Kingdom . Naturally, Qing Er won’t know where the residences of the eldest prince and the second prince are . ”
Xia Yuqing was stunned for a moment before she realized that Feng Tingye was speaking for herself . She hurriedly responded, “That’s right, I’ve been away for so long . Now, do you know where eldest royal brother lives? Senior Brother, didn’t you just say that you aren’t an idiot with a bad sense of direction and even someone who is an expert at travelling around Jiang Hu? Didn’t you say that as long as we state the name of the place, you will surely lead us to that place right away? Now is the time to show off your skill . We are going to find eldest royal brother and Xiang Er, but we don’t know where my eldest brother’s mansion is . Can you take us to find them?”
“This…” Sure enough, a married couple is the most annoying!
Su Wuduan gritted his teeth and glanced at Xia Yuqing’s group: “What can be so hard? Just watch!”
“Huh?” Xia Yuqing and the others watched Su Wuduan get up and walk towards the shopkeeper . Later…
“Boss, this is our first time coming here and we are unfamiliar with the place . So, I was just wondering if we can ask you a few questions?”
“…” Hearing what he had in mind, everyone almost fell to the ground . They finally stabilized their body with great difficulty, then unanimously thought how Su Wuduan did not care about his dignity at all and went to ask for directions .
In the following moments, the group saw how money and power will help you with anything while eating .
Su Wuduan accompanying the old shopkeeper spoke about Tiannan to Dibei, and from Dibei to Tiannan . Not only did he receive the addresses of Xia Mingyuan and Xia Mingxi, but also the 18th generation of the ancestors of the royal family and the ancestors of the old shopkeeper . They were all dug out . The faces of everyone on the side were all turned into this: “…”
“So from this street, walk for two more blocks and it will be at the end?” Feng Tingye held the teacup and asked, “Since we all know the location and are full, why don’t we…”
Hearing what he said, the other people looked at the leftovers on the table . They all understood something, quickly got up and ran out .
When Su Wuduan finished speaking with the old shopkeeper, he turned around and…
“Huh, where’s the people?” The smile on Su Wuduan’s face was slightly stiff, looking at the empty dining table . Carrying a step like rus.h.i.+ng out to find someone, he was caught by the shop’s waiter, “You haven’t paid the money yet, Sir . The people here just said that these two tables were your treat . ”
“…” Su Wuduan froze . He suddenly remembered that Xia Yuqing had used all his money to buy food . Both him and those people were penniless . The money for the two tables of food…
They actually tried to dine and dash?! Even if they did that, it’s fine, but to dare leave him to pay off the debt?! After being wrapped around by the waiter, Su Wuduan couldn’t help but growl in his heart . Xia Yuqing and Feng Tingye, I will remember this!
Xia Yuqing burped now that her belly was satisfied, “Although the food in this restaurant was not as delicious as our Lu Rui’s, it is good enough . Hiccup ~ the most important thing is that things that don’t require money really taste particularly good, hehe…”
“…” Niang Niang, you seem to treat dine and das.h.i.+ng as if it was nothing . The shopkeepers in the store will cry, and… thinking of Su Wuduan who was left to pay off their debts, they suddenly felt a little sympathy .
But it was just a little bit . As the saying goes, it’s better for you to die than me . Being able to save so many of them from the sea of suffering, rest in peace Master Su!
