Chapter 578 The Vicious Queen

After taking a look at Xia Fengxiang who was sleeping soundly nearby and helping to pull the quilt up a little on her body, Su Changan carefully walked out the door.

As soon as I went out, I saw the Xujiang River winding into the sea in front of me. Maybe it was because it rained lightly during the day, the water vapor was thick. There were sixteen large and small docks along the river. In the past, all of these were family businesses such as the Xu family. There were many canal transporters hired by these families on the river. If they did not pay enough so-called canal taxes, their boats and people would be overturned.

But at that moment, the river was clear of those evil pirates. In just a few days, the people sent by Qian Long and Xia Fengxiang took complete control of the place.

Without those so-called underworld gangs, as soon as the officials talked about taxation, merchant ships came one after another. Moreover, at a glance, if the geomancers who were proficient in feng shui were here, they would be able to tell that this place was extremely prosperous.

No wonder the late emperor spared no expense to build such a large dock here.

The reason why Su Changan and his companions came here was that they planned to transport goods back to the capital by water. Compared with traveling by land, this would be much faster and would save a lot of trouble.

Su Changan walked to the side of Xujiang River and looked at the calm river surface. It seemed as if the bright moon in the sky favored the water here. The bright moonlight above the river was no less beautiful than the stars in the sky. The night was quiet, and the river breeze was blowing gently. Su Changan felt relaxed and happy looking at the pleasant scenery in front of him.

It was just that Su Changan felt an uneasiness in his heart that had just awakened him. He didn't know where it came from, but he just felt as if something had happened.

She looked up at the river, feeling a little uneasy. The wind blew, and her silver-white hair flickered softly under the moonlight, gently fluttering in the wind. Her eyes were deep, staring at the river, and at the stars in the sky above the river.

But at this time.

Countless petals suddenly fell from the air, and there were many green leaves among the petals.

Su Changan felt helpless. He looked back and saw Shentu Kuyue lying on a tree next to him, holding a bunch of wild flowers, grasses, leaves and other things picked from the roadside in her arms, and throwing them towards Su Changan.

Shentu Kuyue just noticed Su Changan looking at her, she stopped what she was doing, was silent for a moment and then said: "You are so beautiful, so I thought there should be some flower petals scattered on the ground, so I made it. But it's really so beautiful, I'm drooling."

Su Changan smiled helplessly, then looked at Shentu Kuyue: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Su Changan simply couldn't dislike Shentu Kuyue, one of the ten great men in the world. After all, she had such a childish temper. Although she was crazy sometimes, she never did anything annoying. Even if she said something wrong occasionally, she would immediately act cute and coquettish.

Hearing Su Changan's words, Shentu Kuyue blinked and jumped down from the tree.

She threw all the flower petals in her arms into Xu Jiang, ran to Su Changan happily, and sat down next to Su Changan.

But then you have to speak.

However, he found that he was much shorter than Su Changan when sitting like this, and it was tiring for him to raise his head to speak.

So Shentu Kuyue stood up again and looked around, then noticed a big rock, so she ran over to move the big rock over. After sitting down, she moved her butt and looked at Su Changan again. She felt comfortable, smiled with satisfaction, and said to Su Changan, "Let's discuss something, what do you think?"

Su Changan looked at Shentu Kuyue's series of actions with a smile and nodded, saying, "You speak first, and we can discuss it later."

Shentu Kuyue pursed her lips and said: "Look, although you are injured now, the people around you..."

When Shentu Kuyue said this, Su Changan immediately understood what Shentu Kuyue was going to say, and immediately said: "I have no say in this matter, you need to go find that person, and the paper you put your fingerprints on is also in her hand."

While speaking, Su Changan pointed to the room where he and Xia Fengxiang were resting.

Shentu Kuyue suddenly became unhappy: "If I can discuss this with the Empress, why would I need to talk to you?"

Su Changan smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to follow me? You have nowhere to go anyway, and you don't want to go back to the village. Besides, the people from the Shen Ce Mansion have already gone to look for Sheyue, and they will tell her that you are in the capital. Most importantly, I see that although you think about leaving every day, you are very active when eating."

Shentu Kuyue said as a matter of course: "I don't even dare to run away, so I can only stay here. If I don't eat better, won't I lose a lot of money?"

Su Changan was helpless again.

Shentu Kuyue wanted to leave a few days ago because things were over, so why should she stay here?

But the truth is, Shentu Kuyue was afraid that Xia Fengxiang would retaliate against her. After all, she said a lot of disrespectful words when she didn't know her identity.

Although Su Changan told her that it was okay.

But Shentu Kuyue said, even if His Majesty doesn't make things difficult for me, I can't go to the capital, because Yan Yunxiao is there!

So during this period of time, Shentu Kuyue was thinking about leaving and refused to go to the capital.

Many people were looked for, but no one dared to say anything. After all, the empress ordered Shentu Kuyue to be a guest official of the Huanglong Guard and the Chixia Army.

Since the emperor had bestowed the title like this, naturally no one dared to speak up for Shentu Kuyue to leave.

That's why there was a scene where Shentu Kuyue noticed Su Changan alone tonight and immediately ran over to flatter him.

Shentu Kuyue looked distressed: "I am so pitiful. I came out to find an apprentice to make noodles for me, but I met you guys and signed a contract. Now I have to go to the capital! Yan Yunxiao is in the capital. What if Yan Yunxiao chops off my head? I haven't lived long enough. I haven't eaten many delicious foods. My big house in the village hasn't been built yet."

Having said that, Shentu Kuyue stole a glance at Su Changan and found that Su Changan was looking at her with a smile. After Shentu Kuyue sobbed a bit, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. It didn't seem like she was pretending, but she was really afraid of Yan Yunxiao.

Su Changan smiled and said, "You will not be killed by Aunt Yan. Also, you signed the contract willingly. Lian Wei, Yu Kuangjuan, and Master were all there. Moreover, my Master asked you to think about it, but you scolded him."

Shentu Kuyue, who was exposed, immediately retorted: "If I knew your identities, would I sign it?"

Su Changan laughed and said, "What should we do? Why don't you go and tell my wife about these things? Maybe she will take pity on you and let you go."

Shentu Kuyue was defeated and went to the empress

I don’t have the courage.

When I didn't know the identity of that girl, I felt that she was full of tricks and I didn't dare to say a word to her.

Now that I know your identity, I dare not get closer!

Su Changan looked at Shentu Kuyue, who was holding her chin with both hands in a depressed mood, and said with a smile: "Are you unwilling to follow us because of Aunt Yan, or do you just not want to?"

Shentu Kuyue was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Su Changan: "It must be because of Yan Yunxiao. Following you guys, I can enjoy the good life, and there are so many people at my disposal. This life is great! Who wouldn't want to? The main thing is what to do with Yan Yunxiao. I have been hiding from that old woman for so many years, and now it's all over."

After he finished speaking, Shentu Kuyue suddenly thought of something, looked at Su Changan very cleverly and said: "Your injuries will definitely not heal in the capital, but if Yan Yunxiao wants to kill me, we can attack together. You don't have to move if you are injured, but I will hide behind you, and Yan Yunxiao will definitely not dare to touch you. At that time, I will be invincible!"

After saying this, Shentu Kuyue stood on the stone and said, "I am too smart."

He turned his head and looked at Su Changan, "Am I too smart?"

But when he was about to finish his words, looking at Su Changan's half-smile, Shentu Kuyue suddenly understood something and asked, "If I use you as a shield, then I don't even need Yan Yunxiao to do anything, these boys and girls will just draw their swords at me."

Su Changan asked back: "What do you think?"

Shentu Kuyue sat down on the stone and became even more depressed.

Su Changan wanted to reach out and rub Shentu Kuyue's head, but thinking that the other party was a senior, he did not raise his hand, but said: "Don't worry, Aunt Yan will not do such a thing, but if she fights with you in a normal way, I can't stop her, but you should not mind it."

Shentu Kuyue nodded: "That will definitely be fine."

As she said this, Shentu Kuyue recalled the time when she saw Yan Yunxiao grab a person's hair with one hand in the sea of ​​blood and corpses, lift the person up and chop off his head with a knife. Then she looked at Su Changan and said, "Can we not ask about the knife?"

Su Changan sighed, wondering how Aunt Yan had frightened him back then. He still couldn't get rid of the psychological trauma after all these years. But after thinking for a while, he said softly, "I'm here, it's okay. And if you don't want to, just talk to Aunt Yan. But if you really don't want to go to the capital with us, it's okay to leave now. I'll just tell my wife tomorrow."

Shentu Kuyue's eyes lit up and she was about to speak, but she immediately shut her mouth. After thinking carefully, she approached Su Changan and asked, "Can you really guarantee that Yan Yunxiao, that crazy woman, won't chop me down?"

Su Changan nodded. Let’s not talk about whether it is possible or not. Although Aunt Yan is scary, she is not someone who kills people casually. At most, she will just beat her up.

Shentu Kuyue frowned: "Really?"

Su Changan nodded again.

Shentu Kuyue thought for a moment and confirmed again: "If you lie to me, you are the one"

At this point, he felt that it was inappropriate, after all, the other party was the Queen, so he changed his words: "If you lie to me, you will become a man!!"

In Shentu Kuyue's eyes, most men are trash and useless, so this is the worst thing he could think of than a puppy.

Su Changan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Shentu Kuyue's expression suddenly brightened up: "That's good, it's wonderful! When we get to the capital, I will make enough money, no, I will make enough money, let Sheyue make more, yes, that's right! Let her make money to honor me!"

At this point, Shentu Kuyue was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Su Changan: "Girl, do you want to learn my sword control technique and the second half of the breathing method?"

Su Changan told Shentu Kuyue that she could scream in whatever way she felt comfortable, so Shentu Kuyue started calling Su Changan a girl.

By now, Su Changan has long been accustomed to others calling him a woman.

However, after hearing Shentu Kuyue's words, Su Changan was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it that it is not passed on to other disciples of the Shedao Room?"

Shentu Kuyue said indifferently: "It's not something that can be spread outside. It's decided by people. But I have other conditions."

Su Changan looked at Shentu Kuyue.

Shentu Kuyue immediately said, "How about you give Sheyue the [Raging Sea] and [Listening to Thunder] of your knives? Besides that, how about you teach Sheyue the knives of Luo Changfeng? This is a good deal, isn't it?"

Su Changan looked at Shentu Kuyue: "That's it?"

Shentu Kuyue pursed her lips and said honestly, "When Sheyue reaches the end, you will probably be even more powerful. How about letting her ask you about the knife? I know you have a high status and not ordinary people can ask. That's why there is basically no one who can ask you about the knife. Only Yan Ruyu can do it. What should I do as her disciple? She still has to compete with Yan Ruyu. The Sheyue Knife Room can't be cut off by me. So she asks you about the knife, and the more she asks, the stronger she will be. In this way, she can have a beautiful competition with Yan Ruyu. I, as a master, lost to Yan Yunxiao. I am not competitive. My master is also not competitive. He lost to a man named Di Wushuang and then to Luo Changfeng. He can't go to Sheyue and continue to lose. Although you are about the same age as them, you entered the end earlier than them. You are not of their generation. Hey, I, as a master, am worried."

As he said this, he took out a piece of dessert from his arms, but just as he was about to eat it, he remembered something and handed it to Su Changan: "Do you want to eat it?"

When Su Changan saw it, he immediately reached out to take it. After all, the empress had given the order, and no one dared to feed Su Changan privately anymore. Although the snack was just ordinary fried cakes, Su Changan hadn't eaten it for more than ten days.

But just when Su Changan was about to take it, Shentu Kuyue suddenly remembered, took back the snack, and put it into her mouth: "I forgot that you can't eat these, and I almost hurt you."

Su Changan's expression suddenly became dull, and the next moment murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Shentu Kuyue seemed to be completely unaware and continued, "Yan Ruyu has only reached the ninth rank, and she is now tied for first place with Sheyue. They were both eighth rank before, and Sheyue is obviously better. Now they are tied. What if I don't...?"

Shentu Kuyue was stunned and looked at Su Changan who was holding her head: "What?"

But just as he opened his mouth, he felt his head was being grabbed and it was a bit painful. He could not help but hold his head with both hands and looked at Su Changan.

At this moment, Su Changan let go of his hand, then looked at Shentu Kuyue, leaned forward and whispered something.

Shentu Kuyue's expression suddenly showed fear.

Su Changan smiled gently and asked, "Speaking of which, can you tell me about the ten people in the world? I'm curious about what kind of people they are."

But Shentu Kuyue looked at Su Changan's smile with fear, so vicious! This woman is so vicious!

Thinking of this, Shentu Kuyue stood up, moved the stone a little further away, then looked at Su Changan and said confidently: "I won't tell you! Bad woman!"

…

Ps: I have something to do early tomorrow morning, so I'm not sure if there will be a second update. If not, I'll make up for it when I get back at noon tomorrow. I was also hurt by yesterday's mistake. I've updated 110,000 words this month.
