After two more days' journey, when the sun was clear, Su Jingxuan and his caravan rested in a tea house on the outskirts of the city.
Wen Shu drank tea while beating his waist that was about to fall apart. The distance was only three-tenths of the way, and with her current state, let alone the Sand and Stone Kingdom, she might not even be able to walk half the way.
"The bee envoy is tired, indeed, for a girl, the journey is still too hard for days." Su Jingxuan sat next to Wen Shu and poured a cup of tea for her.
"Let Boss Su laugh." Wen Shu smiled, because he didn't want to slow down the caravan's journey, even if he was unwell, Wen Shu didn't open his mouth.
"In two days' journey, we will be able to reach Maocheng, where we will rest for two days and prepare supplies for entering the Sand and Stone Kingdom." After going out into the city, they would cross the mountains and walk through the long suburbs, where there were few people, and there was not even a place to stay, so they had to sleep in the open.
Boss Su and his caravan have been to this place many times, and it can be said that they have unique experience.
"Listen to Boss Su." Take advantage of these two days to rest and recuperate. Wen Shu knew that his body had reached its limit, and instead of worrying about when he would be able to reach the Sand and Stone Kingdom, he should pay attention to the present. Otherwise, before he arrives in the Sand and Stone Kingdom, people will be exhausted first, and he will not be able to do anything like that.
"The bee envoy doesn't know martial arts?" Su Jingxuan has been wondering about this question, as one of the three special envoys of the Shenming Palace, his status is only under the sect master and the four great protector elders, and it can be said that he has a special status in the Shenming Palace. Such a person can't even do martial arts?
Although Su Jingxuan didn't know much about the affairs of the Shenming Palace, he was a successful businessman. For his new partner, it is natural to know as much as possible. In the Divine Palace, the elder sect master hall master incense master. Everyone knows martial arts. And the higher the ranking, the stronger the kung fu.
And these days, he looks at this bee envoy, except for his excellent medical skills, it seems that he can't do any kung fu at all. This contradicted the information of his investigation, which made him very puzzled.
Most importantly, such a bee envoy reminded him of a person.
In the shrine of the gods. The suzerain who has a high status and makes his subordinates respect him will not be able to do martial arts. This is one of the biggest exceptions in the shrine of the gods, but even so. No one dared to underestimate her.
If it weren't for the fact that his age and appearance were completely different from the information he had investigated, he really suspected that this bee envoy was the respected sect master in the Divine Palace.
"Boss Su is right, Zhan really doesn't know martial arts." The bee envoy's girlfriend's name is Zhan Chun, and this secret is very few people know. But Wen Shu believes. Su Jingxuan will definitely know.
Big businessmen like them. Sometimes they know more than they think.
"Oh?" Su Jingxuan looked puzzled, and then nodded considerately, "It seems that Su Mou misunderstood, the three envoys are not from the plenary martial arts." β
Wen Shu shook his head secretly, this is the way the merchant speaks, too shrewd. However, Wen Shu is not a person who can be careful. He wanted to know, and he would sue her.
It's not a big deal in the first place. As long as you get used to it, you can do it.
"Everyone in the Shenming Palace, except for the sect master, is supposed to know martial arts. It's just that I'm different, in the last civil strife, I was framed by the Butterfly Envoy, and I have abolished my martial arts. β
"Is there such a thing?"
"Not only is the martial arts gone, but even the physical foundation is much weaker. This time, it was Zhan who dragged Boss Su back, I'm really sorry. "The identity of the bee envoy in the palace of the gods is extremely secretive, and few people know her information, which means that Wen Shu can say whatever he wants.
And her current situation, except for moving the hapless butterfly envoy out, really has no other good excuses. It is a matter of secrecy in the Shenming Palace, and a person as smart as Su Jingxuan will definitely not break the sand pot and ask to the end. True and false, false and real, her statement is also an effective tribute to Su Jingxuan.
Su Jingxuan was stunned, nodded a little unnaturally, and sure enough, he didn't ask again.
The word "civil strife" mentioned by Wen Shu is indeed inherently intangible. Since she dared to throw out these two words, what she said should not be false.
"Don't say that, the bee envoy, since you're traveling together, don't say anything like it."
"Thank you, Boss Su."
"By the way, Miss Zhan, can Su ask you something?" Su Jingxuan picked up the teacup and put it down, and spoke hesitantly.
"Boss Su, please speak."
"What kind of person are you sect master?"
Wen Shu was stunned, she didn't expect that what Su Jingxuan wanted to ask her about was actually her own business. It's just that why would Su Jingxuan be interested in the sect master of the Shenming Palace? Was it for this collaboration, or was he already suspicious of her current identity?
Wen Shu was silent on the surface, but his brain was thinking quickly.
"Hehehe~ Boss Su, you know that I am the sect master's subordinate, and the palace rules of the Shenming Palace are strict, and if you chew the root of the sect master's tongue outside, you will be severely punished."
"Miss Zhan misunderstood, Su didn't mean anything else, but she had heard many legends about your sect master, and she couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart, so she asked a few more words. If Miss Zhan feels embarrassed, she will assume that Su has not said anything. β
The expression on Su Jingxuan's face was extremely sincere, but Wen Shu just felt that things were not so simple. The ease at this time is very different from the previous hesitation. She may understand it as a businessman's negotiation skills, obviously caring about a commodity, and deliberately acting out of interest in order not to let the other party ask for a price.
"Zhan, thank you for Boss Su's understanding." Such a sentence is too bad for Boss Su, although he doesn't like the way he speaks, he might as well pretend to be stupid and let him succeed. "Our sect master, although he is not particularly strict, but the four Dharma Protector Elders are all strict masters. In particular, that Elder Feng was serious, and he would severely reprimand any remarks that were unfavorable to the sect master, and at worst, he would even throw people to the punishment elder......
Wen Shu shrugged his shoulders fearfully as he spoke. This is not a lie, when Wen Shu was in Mingyue Castle, he often saw Feng Neng reprimanding the people below. The people of the Shenming Palace are not unruly, but the environment is not as oppressive and suffocating as before, and even the people are much easier than before.
In such a situation, it is inevitable that everyone will talk together and talk about the recent events in the palace. This is a good phenomenon, and Wen Shu still prefers this state. But the premise is that these people are not caught by Elder Feng, otherwise those people will suffer.
"Elder Feng, but Elder Feng, the head of the four protectors of the Shenming Palace, is the most trusted by your sect master?"
It seems that this Boss Su is really curious about the affairs of the Divine Palace.
"Not bad."
"Your sect master can entrust you with such an important task, and I think I trust Miss Zhan very much."
"The sect master has taken good care of me, and it is to live up to the expectations of the sect master in this way, negotiate this business, and bring back good news for the sect master. Regarding this point, Boss Lao Su has to say a lot of good things for us in front of the Shashi royal family. β
"The medicinal materials of the Shenming Palace are well-known, even if Su doesn't talk much, they will make the wisest choice."
This conversation ended here, and the chief housekeeper of Su Mansion informed everyone to go on the road. If you don't hurry, you won't be able to find an inn to stay in before dark.
Wen Shu climbed on the horse's back and continued to move forward. The road was calm, and the bandits and horse thieves in this area would let them go when they saw the caravan of the Su family. There are also a few thieves who don't have long eyesight, who want to try their luck without the help of others, and the big housekeeper of Sufu solved those people in three or two clicks and threw them out.
After these things, Wen Shu had to reassess Su Jingxuan's strength and identity. The big butler was fierce and ruthless, and his moves were neat, although she didn't know martial arts, she also knew that he was a rare master. And his martial arts moves, Wen Shu always felt a little familiar. The method of controlling the enemy is also very skillful. It is difficult for a businessman's housekeeper to have such neat and precise skills.
Two days later, the group finally arrived in Maocheng. Wen Shu didn't even have the strength to go upstairs, and the whole person was about to collapse.
When it was time to eat, the southeast came to call her. Wen Shu didn't wake up, the tiredness of the days had already overdrawn her body, she didn't know that she was hungry, and she didn't even have the strength to eat, so she lay down on the bed in the inn and fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already early the next morning. Boss Su and his subordinates went to buy supplies, and they stayed at the inn to wait for news. And at this time, Wen Shuzheng can be used to restore the body.
"Young grandma, the meal is ready." As soon as Wen Shu got downstairs, the southeast bowed his head.
"Huh?" Wen Shu stopped him, outside, he shouldn't have called her a young grandmother. Southeast also realized, "Envoy, the meal is ready. β
"You've eaten with Northwest?"
"Back to the envoy, we've already eaten."
Wen Shu didn't speak again, concentrating on eating. I haven't eaten for more than a day, and I'm really hungry.
"Special envoy, in two days, we will set off for the last town outside the Sand and Stone King, the Green Forest Town." That was the last place they would buy supplies, and then they would enter the Black Snake Pool, which was terrifying to the outside world. There is an instinctive fear of that place, both those who have not been to it and those who have already been.
And there are some things that the Northwest doesn't know whether to say or not.
"You seem to have something to say?" For the green forest town, Wen Shuzi is familiar. This place, Admiralty Tower has mentioned in family letters. It's a peaceful and nice town, a far cry from the treacherous kingdom of sand. But the calm there is only a faΓ§ade, and behind it lies something that may be even more terrifying than the Black Snake Pool.
And the one who makes the southeast and northwest most uneasy is Su Jingxuan.
That Boss Su, didn't he really have any other purpose in bringing them to the Sand and Stone Kingdom? (To be continued......)
