Chapter 61 Going Alone to the Cannibalistic Court

"After today, General, you will draw a clear line between yourself and me, at least on the surface, you have to pretend that you are not in harmony with me." Shen Shilang bowed to Wei Zhaoxian, "General, I will remember your kindness and will never forget it for the rest of my life."

Shen Shilang bowed and kowtowed three times to Wei Zhaoxian.

Wei Zhaoxian accepted Shen Shilang's three bows, helped Shen Shilang up, and said, "I can only promise you this on the surface, but I will still help you secretly."

Shen Shilang stood up and said with a smile: "I definitely need the general's help."

After hearing what Shen Shilang said, Wei Zhaoxian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Shen Shilang would not even let him help.

"General, we say goodbye now. We may meet again in the court." Shen Shilang said with a smile.

When Wei Zhaoxian heard Shen Shilang's words, he knew that he was confident that he would pass the imperial examination.

Yes, with Shen Shilang's talent, if he had passed the imperial examination and become the first place in the imperial examination, he would have suspected cheating if he had failed.

"I'll take you there." Wei Zhaoxian explained first, "I'll only take you to the gate. I won't show up."

Shen Shilang nodded, took Youmi with him, and walked out of the mansion with his luggage on his back.

Wei Zhaoxian only stayed at the gate of the courtyard where the study was located.

At the gate of the courtyard, Shen Shilang bowed deeply to Wei Zhaoxian again.

Wei Zhaoxian waved at Shen Shilang with red eyes and let him go.

Although he saved Shen Shilang at the beginning, it was because of his life-long friendship with Shen Liangyu.

But after all, she is a child who was raised from childhood, and even if it is not because of Shen Liangyu, she has already developed a deep affection for him.

Now that the child has grown up, how can Wei Zhaoxian feel at ease if he has to go to that cannibalistic court alone?

The servants in the mansion saw Shen Shilang walking out with a bag on his back, but Wei Zhaoxian did not show up.

"Did Master Shen really break up with the Wei family?"

"Doesn't the general value Master Shen the most? Why did he let Master Shen leave like this?"

"Did Master Shen also break up with the general?"

"Let's not talk about it. The mansion has never allowed us to talk about Mr. Shen's affairs."

However, Shen Shilang was alone, carrying a small bag, and no one was seeing him off.

Even Butler Ning, who had always been respectful to him, was nowhere to be seen.

It was really a shame to leave, it was really sad.

After Shen Shilang left the Wei Mansion, he went directly to the carriage rental shop.

Driving the donkey cart that I had rented the day before, I bought some baked naan on the way as food for the journey.

Su Jinshi followed Shen Shilang and saw the world outside Chong'an City for the first time.

On the way to the next town, it seemed a bit desolate, with few trees.

The gravel ground under the wheels was bumpy and the donkey cart was shaking.

Shen Shilang did not take away the gorgeous new clothes that the mansion made for him during the New Year.

Since you want to maintain your image of breaking away from the Wei family, you should dress simply.

Now, what I wear in my bag are just ordinary cotton-padded clothes.

It was just that the weather was cold, and the donkey cart that Shen Shilang rented was leaking air on all sides, and his hands holding the reins were frozen red and purple.

Su Jinshi really couldn't bear to see these hands being used to write.

So he bought a pair of gloves and a down jacket for Shen Shilang from the mall.

Although the core of the down jacket is modern down, the appearance is still in the style of the Daxi Dynasty.

The gloves were made of leather, the same style as Daxi's current gloves.

After Shen Shilang put on the gloves, his hands immediately felt much warmer, but as they had been frozen for so long, it would take some time for them to fully recover.

What surprised him was the down jacket he was wearing.

Shen Shilang asked Su Jinshi in surprise, "What is this dress made of? How come it's so light and warm?"

"It's filled with duck down. In my world, most people wear this kind of down jacket in winter. Some are filled with duck down, some are filled with goose down, and they are very warm. Even if you go to the bitter cold in the far north, it will be no problem." Su Jinshi explained, "You shouldn't pack too much in your luggage now, so wear this for now. When we get to the capital, I'll buy you a few warm underwear to wear with this down jacket. You can wear less than others, but you'll still be warmer than others."

"It will be a lot easier to take the exam." Su Jinshi was still thinking about how to get something to warm Shen Shilang's hands.

It’s still cold in Beijing during the March exam.

Although charcoal can be burned, it is an open compartment after all and does not provide warmth.

Besides, we dare not burn charcoal in a confined space.

We also need to prepare some things for Shen Shilang that can keep him warm and will not interfere with his writing.

Shen Shilang now completely believed that Su Jinshi was not a female ghost, but came from a different world.

Everything Su Jinshi gave him was amazing.

This made Shen Shilang even happier.

Humans and ghosts have different paths, but he and Su Jinshi are both human, and the only thing that needs to be broken is the barrier between the two worlds.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"Jinshi, how did you give me these things?" Shen Shilang asked.

"Well... there is something similar to the Void Mall." Su Jinshi didn't know how to explain the system to Shen Shilang, but Shen Shilang understood the mall in the void.

"If I buy something for you in the mall, I can deliver it to you directly." Su Jinshi said.

"So that's how it is..." Shen Shilang said slowly, "Since the items can be delivered here, then the person... should be able to be delivered here too, right?"

Su Jinshi also became increasingly eager to appear in front of Shen Shilang.

She now felt more and more that this was not a game at all.

The world of Shen Shilang and Daxi both exist in another time and space.

Otherwise, how can we explain that there is no information about this game on the Internet? Even if it is in internal testing, there should be a record of this game on the Internet.

But it didn't.

Moreover, the reactions of the characters are all self-aware and too natural to be programmed.

If it is really a program setting, how big a server would be needed to support it?

Her conversations with Shen Shilang were never mechanical.

Shen Shilang's answers were never preset.

Su Jinshi felt more and more that this "Record of the Development of Powerful Ministers" was actually a medium for communication between her and Shen Shilang's two worlds.

Su Jinshi did not answer Shen Shilang's question immediately, but went to the mall.

There are still many grey unlocked items in the store.

She kept sliding the screen down, almost to the bottom, and she actually saw something called "portal".

[Portal: Use it to successfully meet the male protagonist. ]

Is this it?

Su Jinshi said: "There should be a way, but I can't do it now."

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is a way." Shen Shilang smiled, "I will also find a way."

Su Jinshi was still wondering what solution Shen Shilang could come up with, but Shen Shilang didn't say anything.

The closer they got to the capital, the more candidates they met who were coming to the capital to take the imperial examinations.

When it was getting dark, Shen Shilang checked into an inn in a town near the capital.

"We will be able to reach the capital tomorrow." Shen Shilang said to Su Jinshi.

Most of the people staying in the inn are candidates taking the imperial examination.
