When the carriage arrived at the west city gate, it was just dawn and the city gate had just opened.
Because Xiao Zhonghua had set up checkpoints at all four city gates, pedestrians and carriages had to be checked.
Although Xing’er’s acupoints had been sealed and she could not speak, her eyes were bright.
Miss, we’ll be saved later!
Su Xiaoxiao was very calm.
Save it, sillygirl.
This fake bald donkey was not even confident at this point. It was impossible for him to hijack us.
Su Xiaoxiao was right. Just as they approached the city gate, Arhat Ming Shi suddenly pressed the mechanism in the carriage and blocked Su Xiaoxiao and Xing’er with a partition.
Ming Shi moved the bench again and placed it horizontally in front of the partition, facing the curtain.
When the guard lifted the curtain and looked in, he saw a burly man and a monk in a monk’s robe.
From the capital to the East Sea, they needed to pass through Yongzhou, Tanzhou, and other places. More than half of the journey was by land, and the rest could be done by water.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Su Xiaoxiao’s current identity was Lu Aotian’s “daughter”. Xing’er was her dowry maidservant, and Arhat Ming Shi was the Great Mage they had invited.
When she was asked why she wanted to invite the Great Mage, Su Xiaoxiao, who had already had her acupoints removed, said without thinking, “Of course it’s to open an altar and exorcise the undead. Our short-lived City Lord…” Arhat Ming Shi sent a murderous aura over.
Lu Aotian tugged at Su Xiaoxiao’s sleeve. “Stop talking. This monk has a bad temper.”
Su Xiaoxiao snorted.
After the officials left, Arhat Ming Shi said coldly, “I think we should pull out your tongue.”
Xing’er spread her arms and blocked Su Xiaoxiao. “You’re not allowed to bully
Miss!”
Lu Aotian said to Arhat Ming Shi, “Aiya, alright, alright. There are too many people. Don’t make a big fuss. Let’s go find an inn.”
Arhat Ming Shi flicked his sleeves and entered the inn.
Lu Aotian said to Su Xiaoxiao earnestly, “Can’t you not provoke him? He’s a very cruel person and can do anything.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Can I not go to Thousand Mountain Island if I don’t provoke him?”
Lu Aotian thought for a moment. “…No.”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Or will you let me go if I don’t provoke him?”
Lu Aotian trembled. “I won’t betray the City Lord!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I didn’t offend your City Lord. The murderer of Xiahou Yan is someone else. What’s the point of capturing me to take the blame?”
Lu Aotian was speechless.
At the end of July, they arrived at the east city.
This was the eastern region of the Great Zhou. After passing through a few more islands, they would completely leave the Great Zhou’s sea.
It was a long journey to the Thousand Mountains Island. Ordinary small boats could not weather the wind and rain on the sea. They had to hire a big ship.
However, they came at the wrong time. Most of the big ships had already gone out to sea, so they could only board the ship with other passengers.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the noisy ship and said sarcastically, “Why don’t you beat them all down and take over a big ship yourself?”
Arhat Ming Shi looked at this girl who was constantly provoking his bottom line and wished he could throw her into the sea to feed the fish.
Lu Aotian carried his luggage and squeezed between the two of them. “Let’s get on the ship! Let’s get on the ship!” Su Xiaoxiao said, “I want the best room!”
Arhat Ming Shi looked at her coldly.
Lu Aotian said, “Alright, alright, alright. Arrange!”
He whispered to Arhat Ming Shi, “We’re about to land on the island. Don’t complicate things. Women are all delicate. If anything goes wrong, your efforts will be in vain.”
Although they referred to rooms, it was actually just a few narrow wooden cabins, but it was much better than a common bed.
Because there was only one room left, Arhat Ming Shi and Lu Aotian could only sleep in the common bed.
However, he was not worried that Su Xiaoxiao would escape. Once they were at sea, she could not escape even if she wanted to.
Lu Aotian went to the kitchen to buy a few hot pancakes for Su Xiaoxiao and her servant.
Arhat Ming Shi glanced at him indifferently. “Sect Master Lu, are you too concerned about that girl?”
Lu Aotian asked, “Am I?”
Arhat Ming Shi reminded him, “The City Lord will execute that girl sooner or later. I hope you won’t do anything stupid.” Lu Aotian said seriously, “How can I do anything stupid?”
Arhat Ming Shi said, “It’s good that you know.”
Lu Aotian looked at Arhat Mingshi who left without looking back. “Stupid bald donkey, stop giving me attitude. My internal energy has been sealed.
Otherwise, I would have fought you long ago!”
Lu Aotian went to deliver food to Su Xiaoxiao and Xing’er.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him and asked the question in her heart, “It’s not
October yet.. Isn’t it not suitable for landing on the island?”
