Chapter 310 Wei Xiuchu
The majestic and magnificent imperial city stands quietly in the blood-red sunset.
The coachman shouted, and the low-key and luxurious carriage moved slowly.
A moment of passing by.
The wind lifted Xie Ling's bangs. She was squinting her eyes, looking at the magnificent palace.
Inside the carriage, Prince Yong Wei Xiuchu suddenly had an impulse today and lifted the curtain.
For some reason, he wanted to see what the imperial city looked like bathed in the sunset.
In the distance, the sun was half-sunken over the mountains, and its brilliant light shone on the palace with its many eaves. On the white marble square, a dark shadow stood alone.
Wei Xiuchu's breathing stopped instantly, a slight shock spread from his heart to his whole body, and he shouted:
"parking!"
The coachman turned around and was very surprised to see Wei Xiuchu actually lifted the curtain.
Prince Yong went to the palace to see the little princess these days, but he never lifted the curtain!
He quickly reined in his horse and saw that Wei Xiuchu was staring at the thin man in black not far away.
Xie Ling was thinking about something when she suddenly felt a cold gaze staring at her back.
She turned around and looked at the man across the setting sun.
He was a man in black clothes whose age could not be determined.
Her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, her eyebrows were drawn into her temples, and most of her face was covered by a silver mask, leaving only a section of her beautifully-shaped jaw exposed.
After seeing her face, disappointment flashed across the man's deep eyes, and he slowly lowered the curtain.
Xie Ling was too lazy to investigate further and just thought that the man had recognized the wrong person.
The carriage slowly moved forward and gradually disappeared on Shenwu Street.
Xie Ling made up her mind to find Lu Linglong first before doing anything else.
What if her uncle's condition is very serious and the best time for treatment is missed?
As for the imperial edict, just take it as it comes.
If she still has time after curing Lu Linglong's uncle, she will go and uncover it.
However, she guessed that no one would dare to uncover the imperial edict, as they would lose their heads if they failed to cure the disease.
Xie Ling turned around and continued walking into Shenwu Street.
This time, she looked more carefully and examined the house numbers of every household several times.
What if Lu Linglong remembered it wrong?
If she walked around for a while longer, she might be lucky enough to meet them.
Life was really inconvenient in ancient times. Transportation was blocked, information was underdeveloped, and it took a long time to find someone.
Before I knew it, the moon was rising above the willow trees.
All the lanterns in Shengjing were lit up, the long streets were crowded with tourists and the lights were brilliant.
After wandering around for a day, Xie Ling felt hungry and randomly found a wonton stall.
Steaming hot and smoky, take a bite of the plump wontons, the skin is thin and the filling is large, fresh and delicious.
Xie Ling felt her whole body relax.
After eating, Xie Ling found a hotel to stay in.
After learning from the previous experience, she didn't dare to stay in a random hotel. She carefully compared several hotels and finally chose the one closest to Shenwu Street.
It's a bit expensive, but the waiter's attitude is nice and the room looks clean.
After closing the door, Xie Ling looked around and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she quickly entered the space.
She has been so exhausted these days and needs to go to the space to relax.
Lying on the Simmons bed in the space, Xie Ling felt very emotional, wishing her body could also enter the space.
Only her spiritual consciousness could enter the space. No matter how comfortable she was in the space, her body would still be tired after coming out.
The space was filled with bright sunshine and a gentle warm breeze. After Xie Ling had laid in bed for long enough, she went out and ran to the mountain to pick some fruit.
Bunches of grapes hang on the trellis, crystal clear and very sweet.
As Xie Ling was eating, she suddenly thought of Gu Wei for some reason.
Sinan is busy with political affairs and has endless things to do every day.
The two of them haven't entered the space to play together for a long time.
When she had time before, she took Gu Wei into the space, and Gu Wei also liked to eat grapes.
It's just that he has a restrained personality. Even if he likes to eat, he won't eat too much. He will just sit there quietly and peel the grapes for Xie Ling. After a while, the grapes in the jade plate can be piled up into a mountain.
Xie Ling's eyes narrowed, wondering what Gu Wei was doing now?
Gu Wei was suffering from insomnia at this moment. He supported his chin with one hand, half-supported his body, stared at the moon outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
He hasn't had a full and good night's sleep since Xie Ling left.
Either I can't sleep the whole night, or I wake up in the middle of the night.
I was afraid that Xie Ling might be in danger, or not eat well or sleep well.
He is obviously a man, but now he understands the feeling of a mother worrying about her son when he is far away.
Gu Wei sighed and slowly closed his eyes.
Aling, I hope you are well and come back soon.
Xie Ling supported her chin, her thoughts wandering from Gu Wei to Si Nan.
It was during this trip that she realized there were so many prosperous places within the Seven Kingdoms.
Take Shengjing for example, one street alone is bigger than the entire city of Sinan.
Just buying a hairpin would be enough for a month's food for a Sinan soldier.
Originally, she thought Sinan was developing well and the people were living in peace and contentment.
Today, compared with big countries and big cities, there is simply a world of difference.
Sinan is still too young.
If you accidentally offend some powerful force...
Xie Ling sighed.
After returning, we must hide the Wushisan mine well. That thing is a time bomb and we don’t know when it will explode!
"crunch-"
A crisp sound suddenly rang out in the space, and the sky in the space turned into glass, and a man in night clothes emerged on it.
Xie Ling's eyes widened. Someone entered her room?
Xie Ling's consciousness returned to his body in an instant. He held the Emei Spear in his left hand and the pistol in his right hand, his nerves tense.
Damn, why do bad things happen every time I stay in an inn?
She'll just have to sleep on the street tomorrow!
The man was probably hiding. The room was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing across the windowsill.
Xie Ling continued to pretend to sleep. She didn't provoke anyone, so this man probably wasn't targeting her.
Anyway, as long as you don't mess with her, she doesn't like killing people.
"call out--"
A sharp arrow suddenly hit the windowsill, making a deafening sound of breaking through the air. One can imagine how much force the person who shot the arrow had.
Xie Ling:?
Before Xie Ling could react, a voice rang out in the dark room.
"Don't pretend to be asleep. I don't want to kill you. As long as you cooperate with me and be a hostage, I will let you go."
Xie Ling curled her lips, her voice trembling a little, "Okay. Then you have to keep your word."
As soon as he finished speaking, a candle lit up in the room.
Behind the wardrobe, a man appeared, wearing a nightgown and a headscarf, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Just by looking at those eyes, she knew that this must be a vicious villain.
Xie Ling's face showed fear, and even his hands were shaking. To anyone who looked at him, he looked like a thin and timid boy.
The man sneered, walked over slowly, put the knife to Xie Ling's neck, and took her to the windowsill.
"Wei Xiuchu, this is an innocent citizen of Wei Zhao State. Are you sure you want to pursue him relentlessly? If you dare to act rashly, don't blame me for killing him."
The man yelled down below.
Xie Ling looked intently and saw a man sitting on the open space below the inn.
I say sitting because half of his body was in the wheelchair.
Across the lush plum branches, the man held a bow and arrow in his hand, and the silver mask on his face glowed coldly under the moonlight, looking extremely sharp.
It turned out to be the person I met at the gate of the palace today.
The man frowned, stared at Xie Ling, and without hesitation threw the bow and arrow in his hand onto the open space beside him.
The man in black behind Xie Ling laughed loudly and said sarcastically, "You are indeed as the rumors say. If I ask you to exchange your life for this person's life, Wei Xiuchu, are you willing?"
The man named Wei Xiuchu didn't even hesitate, and said slowly: "Of course I am willing."
The man in black threw a dagger from his arms, "Then go to hell—"
Before he could finish his words, Xie Ling turned over, grabbed his armpits, and fell off the windowsill with him.
When she landed, she stepped hard on him and pressed the Emei Spear in her hand against his temple.
Everything happened in a flash, and by the time Wei Xiuchu reacted, Xie Ling had already killed the man.
Xie Ling looked up, and just as she expected, two more people flew down quickly from the windowsill, both dressed the same as the dead man.
She just realized that there was more than one person in the room.
The enemy was in the dark while we were in the light, so she didn't dare to act rashly. So she pretended to be held hostage, intending to take the man downstairs and kill him with one blow.
Xie Ling didn't believe that such vicious criminals would really let her go.
When the two men saw that their accomplice was dead, their eyes were filled with murderous intent. They drew their weapons and fought with Xie Ling.
Under the plum tree, Wei Xiuchu picked up the bow again.
He pulled out two arrows from the quiver behind him.
After observing for a while, Wei Xiuchu slowly strung the bowstring and drew the bow.
When Xie Ling was fighting with the two men, two sharp arrows came through the air, brushed past Xie Ling's hair, and hit the two men's hearts, killing them instantly.
Xie Ling frowned as she looked at the two bodies.
He turned around and said rudely, "Hey, we are in the same boat, are you so confident that you won't hit me?"
Facing Xie Ling's impolite words, Wei Xiuchu remained graceful and smiled lightly: "I just observed the fighting styles of the three of you and guessed the next moves of the two of them, so they will definitely not hit you."
Xie Ling was horrified.
This person must be a martial arts genius! That's why he can predict so accurately.
Glancing at the man's legs, Xie Ling felt a sense of regret.
Although she was sighing, Xie Ling still wanted to continue sleeping, so she turned around and prepared to go upstairs.
"You have to clean up the mess you made yourself. I'm leaving now. No need to thank me. Goodbye."
Wei Xiuchu watched the young man leave, and for some reason, he felt reluctant to let him go.
This familiar back...
Wei Xiuchu immediately said, "Little brother, can you take me home? My wheelchair is broken."
Wei Xiuchu was not lying when he said this.
His wheelchair was made by a master of mechanisms. Just by pressing the mechanism, it can take him anywhere. It is much more flexible and faster than ordinary wheelchairs on the market.
But it was damaged when he was fighting with the three killers just now, and now he can only be pushed away.
Of course, he has all the external skills, and he can push himself with his backhand, but...
Wei Xiuchu didn't know why, but he wanted to stay with the young man in front of him for a while longer.
Xie Ling had already left.
She frowned when she heard that. She really didn't like trouble...
She turned around, sighed, and came over pushing the wheelchair, "Where do you live?"
Wei Xiuchu chuckled, his voice pleasant, "The alley behind Shenwu Street, I'm pointing at you."
Only now did he see clearly what the young man looked like.
It was a young and innocent face, no older than seventeen.
His facial features were ordinary and unremarkable, leaving no memorable moments.
Wei Xiuchu asked, "Are you from Wei Zhao?"
Xie Ling: “No.”
Wei Xiuchu: "Then why did you come to Wei Zhao?"
Xie Ling: "Come to hang out with friends."
After a pause, Xie Ling asked, "Do you know where No. 1 Shenwu Street is? My friend's house is there."
Wei Xiuchu was stunned for a moment.
There is no Number 1 on Shenwu Street. I’m afraid this young boy has been cheated.
He organized his words carefully, fearing that the young boy would be upset. "Are you sure it's No. 1 Shenwu Street?"
Xie Ling shook her head, "Absolutely not. Oh, forget it, I'll just look for it myself. If it doesn't work, I'll post a notice."
Wei Xiuchu smiled and said, "You are very interesting."
Xie Ling tilted her head, "Uncle, you talk a lot."
Wei Xiuchu smiled even more happily, his eyebrows curved, and the sharpness brought by the silver mask softened, "What's your name?"
"peaceful."
Wei Xiuchu paused, clenched his fists, and his breathing became rapid in an instant, "Your last name is An? Where are you from?"
"Beijiang."
Wei Xiuchu's hands couldn't help shaking. After a long while, he slowly said, "Beijiang is a good place."
Xie Ling did not comment.
How can Beijiang be considered a good place? It has been plagued by natural disasters, man-made tragedies, and an incompetent court. It is far worse than Wei Zhao.
She pushed Wei Xiuchu through the streets and alleys, and soon they arrived in front of an elegant mansion.
Wei Xiuchu pointed forward, "It's right here."
Xie Ling looked at the magnificent building in front of her and thought that this uncle must be an important official.
"Then I'll leave you here. You should have servants at home, right? They will take you in."
"Little boy, can you stay here with me?"
Afraid that Xie Ling might misunderstand, Wei Xiuchu continued, "You want to find someone on Shenwu Street. My family happens to live on Shenwu Street. I won't charge you any money. Besides, we are both men. I can even teach you martial arts. Is that okay?"
He said so many words in one breath, fearing that Xie Ling would disagree.
Xie Ling was not worried that this uncle would harm her. She was a good judge of people and knew at first glance that the uncle in front of her was a good person.
But she was very curious, why her?
Xie Ling crossed her arms and asked:
"Uncle, this is the second time we've met, apart from the one behind the palace wall, right? Why do you want me to live in your house? Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"
Wei Xiuchu chuckled: "It's boring for me to live in such a big mansion by myself, I want to talk more with young people. You just saw that my martial arts are pretty good, can I teach you martial arts? Or if you want something, as long as I have it, I can give it to you."
Xie Ling tilted her head, "Let me think about it."
Xie Ling was actually quite tempted to have this uncle teach her martial arts, and the uncle's home was near Shenwu Street, so it would be more convenient for her to meet Lu Linglong.
Lu Linglong is a playful girl, maybe we'll meet her on the street someday.
Never mind Lu Wuji's dull personality, he is probably reciting ancient books at home every day.
But she didn't want to receive anything without doing anything, and she felt embarrassed to stay in this uncle's house for free.
