Chapter 121 Twenty Female Guards of Peach Blossom Valley!

He knew the prisoner had many valuables on him, and as Shen Lanxi's personal accountant, it was only right that he pay for them. Paying the constables was to ask them to do him a favor.

As for the others... what business is it of his!

The prisoners cursed inwardly, but dared not show it outwardly.

Some people had run out of money, but luckily they still had a lot of good stuff left. As a result, many people inquired about pawnshops and went to pawn their items!

Old Madam Shen didn't have much cash left. She gritted her teeth, took out two bracelets, hesitated for a moment, then put one back and took out a ring instead.

"Third and fourth brothers, you two should pawn this!"

Just then, a prisoner was going to pawn his belongings, and the Shen brothers went with him.

"Mother, let's order some food!" Tian hurriedly reminded her, worried that there wouldn't be any seats left.

Madam Shen was feeling distressed about the things at the moment, and when she heard what Tian said, she immediately vented her anger on her.

"Eat, eat, eat! What do you know besides eating? You're useless! You won't starve if you skip a couple of meals!"

Tian was unjustly scolded, and she hated Old Madam Shen even more, and she hated Shen Lanxi even more.

Why should the elders have to wait downstairs while she gets to stay in a superior room and have good food brought to her room?

That's ruthless, no wonder nobody wants him.

After everyone had eaten in their own rooms, Shen Lanxi went to Cheng Zheng's room to discuss matters.

There weren't enough rooms available, so Cheng Zheng stayed in a medium-sized guest room with the women from Liuzhao Village.

Before she could even speak, Liu Yanhui placed a bag of silver on the table!

Shen Lanxi: "Xiguan is not peaceful. Take this money and go find out some information!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Cheng Zheng and the others and said, "Go to the bookstore and buy some writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, and books!"

Cheng Zheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but inwardly smiled bitterly. They thought they were being asked to inquire, but how could they possibly find out anything in their condition?

Fortunately, everyone has their own expertise. These students may not be good at other things, but they are quite good at procuring writing implements, ink, paper, inkstones, and books!

After settling these people in, continue assigning tasks to the women of Liuzhao Village!

"Go and buy some clothes, shoes, socks, and other necessities for Cheng Zheng and the others for the journey. You know what they're like. Before we arrive in Dongchuan, you'll be responsible for taking care of them!"

Shen Lanxi emphasized, "Don't underestimate them. Their status here is comparable to that of Liu Yanhui, Hu Zhu, and others!"

Liu Tao quickly said, "We will not look down on them. They are scholars. If anyone should look down on someone, it should be them looking down on us!"

People's hearts are unpredictable. If you say unpleasant things in advance, it's their own fault if you have to resort to drastic measures later!

After settling them in, I followed Feng Wu to meet the people from Peach Blossom Valley.

I never expected to see my third senior brother there.

Looking at the agile and heroic figure standing beside her third senior brother, Shen Lanxi slowly raised the corners of her mouth!

"Third Senior Brother, so that's why you didn't come with us. Turns out you came to see Neon." Her eyes swept over Third Senior Brother and Neon, her teasing tone quite obvious.

A blush quickly spread across his dark, neon-lit face.

Yinzi chuckled sheepishly a few times, then scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"Lanxi, Master sent us to protect you. She has something for me to bring you!" Neon turned and glared at Yinzi before opening the box on the table.

After Shen Lanxi saw it clearly, her eyes widened.

"Golden Silk Soft Armor!" This is the treasure of Peach Blossom Valley. It is impervious to swords and wood, and immune to water and fire. More importantly, it can deflect internal force attacks.

If someone wearing gold-threaded soft armor is struck by a master, the master's internal force will be neutralized by the soft armor, just like being struck by an ordinary palm.

If the person being attacked is also a martial arts master, then you can seize this opportunity to turn the tables and kill them.

Wearing gold-threaded soft armor is like having an extra life!

"This soft armor is so precious, my master's wife is so good to me!" Shen Lanxi hugged the soft armor and couldn't speak for a long time.

Neon laughed, "You're the apple of my master and mistress's eye. They can only sit down and talk calmly when you're around. You're much more precious than the soft armor!"

Shen Lanxi also brought them gifts. She had already decided what to give them when she found out who was coming from her fifth senior brother.

"Neon, this is a hidden weapon for you, the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles. It has three buttons. The first button fires only one needle, the second button fires twenty-two at once, and the third button fires all one hundred needles at once..."

"Zixue, this is a storybook for you. It's full of poignant romance and unexpected twists. Everything you want to read is in it!"

“Li Lan…”

After receiving the gifts they wanted, the twenty people from Peach Blossom Valley were so happy that they wanted to surround Shen Lanxi and throw her into the air.

"That's not fair, Xiao Jiu! They got gifts, but Lao Wu and I didn't. You're being too biased!" Third Senior Brother Yinzi said with a hint of resentment.

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "Even if someone is missing, you all will still be there."

She smiled and handed over two binoculars.

"Third and fifth senior brothers each have one, exactly the same, no need to fight or snatch!"

Yinzi curiously picked up the bamboo tube-like object to examine it.

As Shen Lanxi taught them how to use it, she said, "This thing is called the Thousand-Mile Eye, and it comes from overseas. Even if you are hundreds or thousands of meters away, you can see clearly what the other person is holding."

Feng Wu looked at the eagle clearly, then took down his telescope and saw it was just a black dot.

Is it really that amazing?

Ignoring the risk of being exposed, he jumped directly onto the roof and used the telescope to test it!

"Really, even though we're far apart, we can see it very clearly!"

Yinzi felt that Feng Wu was being a bit too doting on his junior sister, so she smiled, picked her up, and hugged her tightly too!

"Third and fifth senior brothers, I prepared this for you, is it good?" Shen Lanxi looked at the two people standing on the roof looking at her with amusement.

"Good, great! Why didn't you bring out such a wonderful treasure sooner!" Even Feng Wu, who usually kept his emotions hidden, smiled and praised without reservation this time.

Shen Lanxi: "Didn't we not have this before? If we did, you guys would be the first people we thought of."

Yinzi laughed and jumped down from the roof.

"It's still Xiao Jiu who's thinking of her senior brother!"

Shen Lanxi's eyes darted around: "It's no use me thinking about my senior brother, it's Neon who needs to think about it, isn't it?"

Neon, unusually shy, stomped her foot and left.

Yinzi watched the shy figure leave and chuckled to herself.

After laughing and joking for a while and making arrangements for the rest of the day, Shen Lanxi returned home as the sun was already setting.

Even though it's not so hot in the mornings and evenings during the hot season, the herbal tea stalls on the street are still packed with people.

I bought a pot of red bean soup, a pot of plum soup, two famous local honey-roasted chickens, and two bags of green plums to take home.

Green plums are good for cutting through the richness of roast chicken; a couple after eating roast chicken is just right.

Chunxue was already standing at the entrance of the inn, eagerly waiting. When she saw Shen Lanxi return, she smiled and went to greet her, taking the things from her hands.

"Young master, they've all returned and are staying at the inn. Not a single one has gone out!"
