Su Xiaoxiao took out the strange key. “Since you don’t want me to use it, why did you give it to me? If you don’t give it to me, won’t I have no use for it?”
“You’re right.”
Su Xuan raised his hand to retrieve the key.
Su Xiaoxiao stuffed the key back into her purse. “Since you gave it to me, it’s mine!”
Su Xuan opened the book in his hand in amusement.
su Xiaoxlao snorted. “so De It!”
After staying in the capital for three days, it rained heavily in the southern border for another three days. When Su Xiaoxiao went to the small tribe to look for Wei Ting, it was already six days later.
Wei Ting’s injuries had almost recovered. He had passed the stage of only learning internal cultivation methods and was already learning palm techniques and qinggong.
The old man did not tell Wei Ting what martial art this was, but Wei Ting could tell that this was an ultimate technique.
Wei Ting did not disappoint the old man. He could use the palm technique accurately after only reading it once.
However, he had only learned form. To reach the level of the old man, he still needed to work hard day and night.
Su Xiaoxiao brought over fragrant crisp duck and spring chicken from the capital and stewed a pot of small mushrooms.
In the evening, the three of them sat in the central room and enjoyed a hard-won sumptuous dinner.
The old man nibbled on the drumstick and said to Wei Ting, “You can still slack off for a day or two for palm techniques and qinggong. You have to practice your internal cultivation technique diligently every day.”
Wei Ting said, “Yes, Master. I’ll remember it.”
Wei Ting sincerely admired such a top expert.
But he did not even blink when he tricked his master.
Wei Ting tore a duck leg for the old man, dipped it in sauce, and handed it over.
The old man didn’t look and stuffed it into his mouth. It was so spicy that his hair exploded!
Unfilial disciple!!!
A few days later, an afternoon suddenly came. The old man entered the mountain to pick herbs and did not return until dark.
In the middle of the night, the two of them felt that something was wrong and entered his room to take a look.
“He’s gone.”
Su Xiaoxiao opened the cabinet door. The clothes inside were still there, but all the trinkets she had given him were gone.
Wei Ting was silent.
The two of them understood that once he left, he would never come here again.
Wei Ting muttered, “I haven’t said goodbye to him.”
In the dark and windy forest.
A man in black wearing a bamboo hat looked at the tall back under a hundred-year-old parasol tree. “Elder Qiu, the City Lord has issued a summons. Please go back immediately.”
The other party ignored him.
The man in black held the hilt of his sword warily and walked forward step by step.
He suddenly realized that something was wrong. He pulled with his bare hands and his empty clothes fell from the wooden frame.
The man in black gritted his teeth. “He slipped away again!”
Su MO came out of the palace today and went to see his brother first before coming to Changliu Lane.
Wei Xu was still in seclusion. Wei Liulang brought Wei Xiyue to the Cheng family to play with Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu.
Su MO was here for Wei Chen and Wei Qing.
The three of them sat on a stone bench in the courtyard.
Li Wan made tea and wanted to cut melon slices for them.
Wei Qing pulled her hand. “Sit down and rest for a while.”
Ghostfear also said. “Sister—in—law. sit ”
Li Wan sat down.
Su MO did not mind at all. It was a good thing that the Wei family’s women had a high status, which meant that his sister would not be wronged.
He greeted Li Wan respectfully.
Then, he explained the purpose of his trip.
Ghostfear was slightly stunned. “You want to know the whereabouts of the Assassin Alliance?”
Su MO nodded.
He asked Su Xuan a few times, but Su Xuan refused to say anything.
He knew that Su Xuan did not want him to tempt fate at the Assassin Alliance.
However, if the Assassin Alliance wanted to kill his brother, he had to destroy the Assassin Alliance no matter what!
Ghostfear looked at Wei Qing. It was obvious that he did not know the nest of the Assassin Alliance.
Wei Qing had a huge information organization in the Western Jin, but the hiding place of the Assassin Alliance was as mysterious as the rumored Hundred Flower Palace.
It was unknown how the King of the Southern Wilderness had a relationship with the Assassin Alliance back then.
Wei Qing said, “I’m afraid we can only ask Ling Yun this question.”
Su MO asked, “Why?”
Wei Qing explained, “Since he knew that someone from the Assassin Alliance came to capture Jade-faced Rakshasa last time, I think he more or less knows about the Assassin Alliance. I wonder if he’s willing to say it. Brother, please go next door and invite Ling Yun.”
Ghostfear had an expression that said, “I won’t invite him.”
Wei Qing sighed. “Forget it, let me, a cripple, go.”
Ghostfear was speechless and went unwillingly.
Ling Yun was drinking tea when he glanced at him. “You want to fight again?”
Ghostfear said with a dark expression, “Wei Qing wants you to go over.” It was Wei Qing who invited him, not him!
It was rare that Ling Yun didn’t take it to heart and followed him next door.
Wei Qing sat in a wheelchair with four stone stools. Coincidentally, there were four people sitting.
Hearing that Su MO wanted to ask about the Assassin Alliance’s nest, Ling Yun said without hesitation, “There’s an island in the East Sea called Thousand
Mountain Island. There’s a city on the island called Fengdu City. The Assassin Alliance is one of the factions in Fengdu City.”
Su MO pondered for a moment. “Forgive me for being ignorant, but I’ve never heard of Thousand Mountain Island and Fengdu City.”
Ghostfear had never heard of them either, but he would not lose face in front of this evil zither player.
Ling Yun said to Su MO, “It’s not strange. Thousand Mountains Island doesn’t belong to any country. It’s called an island, but it’s actually a country. The city lord is the island master. You can also think of him as the king there.”
Ghostfear suddenly said, “Second Brother, weren’t you very curious just now how Zongzheng Ming got involved with the Assassin Alliance?”
Wei Qing wondered, “Was I?” Wasn’t everyone wondering?
Li Wan pursed her lips and chuckled.
Ghostfear had an expression that said, “Anyway, I’m asking for you.”
Ling Yun said, “The Assassin Alliance rarely does business with the royal family unless he has a powerful middleman. The Assassin Alliance would have no choice but to give that middleman face.”
Ghostfear frowned.
Did Zongzheng Ming have such a person beside him?
Su MO asked, “Is Thousand Mountains Island far?”
Ling Yun said, “It depends on where you go. It can be reached in a month if you set off from the border of the Great Zhou. However, the terrain of Thousand Mountains Island is special. You have to pass through a canyon to go there, and that place is covered in thick fog all year round. Once a ship enters, it will completely lose its way. There are only two chances every year for the thick fog to dissipate. That will be the best time to land on the island. The first time is April, and the second time is October.
“It’s already April. We won’t be able to make it this time. If you want to land on the island, you can only wait for October.”
Su MO said thoughtfully, “October is good too.”
At that time, his sister’s child would already be born. He could exterminate the Assassins Alliance without any distractions.
The wind and waves today were too strong. Even the ferry was turbulent.
A boatman was putting away the boat.
Suddenly, a young man in a white cloud-patterned cloak walked over. “Boatman, I want to go to the sea.”
This voice was extremely pleasant. When the boatman looked at him again, he realized that he was even better-looking.
After leaving the sea for so many years, he had never seen such a handsome young master.
The boatman came back to his senses and said, “The wind and waves today are too strong. I won’t go out to the sea.”
The young man handed him two gold ingots.
The boatman’s eyes lit up as he immediately hugged ingots. “Out! Out! My boat is big. No matter how big the wind and waves are, it can withstand them! Young Master, where are you going?
Xie Jinnian said, “East Sea.”
At the end of April, Su Xiaoxiao and the others planned to set off for Great Zhou.
The Cheng family had already packed up. Su Xiaoxiao came to Changliu Lane and packed some herbs and the children’s things.
Halfway through, Li Wan suddenly said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Sister-in-law, have we forgotten something?”
Su Xiaoxiao smashed a walnut for Wei Xiyue. “Really?”
Wei Xiyue ran out with the walnut jar. After a while, she brought in a sack.
Seeing the sack, the entire family trembled.
Xiao Shunyang!
After Xiao Shunyang was abused by Wei Xu, in order to prevent him from continuing to cause trouble, Wei Ting threw him into the Cheng family’s mine.
Xiao Shunyang woke up and ran. Little did he know that the mine had its own way of dealing with such martial artists.
The shadow expert sealed his acupoints, making him no different from an ordinary mine slave.
He did not dare to casually expose his identity, afraid that he would be silenced.
Hence, the dignified King Rui, Xiao Shunyang, dug for two months in the mine.
At the palace, Zongzheng Wei went to the Empress Dowager’s bedroom to eat with her.
The Empress Dowager saw that he was staying put. “Aren’t you leaving? Don’t you have to go to the Cheng family tonight?”
Under the Empress Dowager’s coercion and temptation, Zongzheng Wei had recently been “forced” to visit the Cheng family every day. Zongzheng Wei said, “I won’t go anymore.”
The Empress Dowager’s expression changed. “Why?”
Zongzheng Wei said calmly, “Family Head Cheng is going to to the Great Zhou
to visit her family. She will probably only return in three to five months.” Three to five months?
Could she stop those male vixens from climbing into the dragon bed after so long?
The Empress Dowager felt terrible. “They’ve already set off?”
Zongzheng Wei’s personal eunuch said, “Empress Dowager, they’ll leave today.”
The Empress Dowager stood up. “Then what are you waiting for?” Zongzheng Wei said, “I’ve already said goodbye to her. From now on, we’ll be fine.”
The Empress Dowager was furious. “What’s fine about it? Hurry up and go! I and Prime Minister Yin will hold the fort for you in the royal court. There are also three dukes. Nothing will go wrong!”
Yin Chongshan was promoted to Prime Minister. Zongzheng Wei’s attitude was firm. “I’m not going.”
The Empress Dowager slapped the table. “Someone!”
At the Cheng family, Uncle Quan and Cheng Rui were sending Cheng Sang to the carriage.
Uncle Quan said, “Family Head, don’t worry. Master Rui and I will take good care of the Cheng family.”
Cheng Sang nodded. “It would be hard on you while I’m away.”
Cheng Rui cupped his hands and bowed. “It’s my duty!”
Cheng Sang gave a few more instructions and made sure that she had not missed anything before turning around and getting into the carriage.
She lifted the curtain and was stunned by the scene inside.
Zongzheng Wei was tied up and thrown here, lying pitifully on the floor of her carriage.
Cheng Sang looked at him curiously.
Zongzheng Wei sighed helplessly. “It’s a long story. I can’t go back to the palace for the time being. Sangsang, do you need a way to relieve your boredom?”
Cheng Sang was speechless..
