Chapter 667: Fighting for Favor (Part 2)



The five tigers flew in and landed on her desk, shaking the snow off their feathers.

"Don't get my herbs wet." Su Xiaoxiao said to it.

It took a swaggering step forward and exchanged bird food with Su Xiaoxiao using news.

A piece of information, a piece of bird food.

"Find something! Find something! Find something!"

"Repeated sentences only count as one sentence."

Five Tigers: “…”

Wei Xu's things, the incomplete map, and the border of Northern Yan.

Su Xiaoxiao calculated that it spoke three and a half sentences, rounded it off and gave it four bird seeds.

Qin Canglan went to check the troops, Wei Ting and Su Mo just came back from the wounded soldiers camp, so the show was complete.

Su Mo let go immediately without hesitation for a second.

Wei Ting suddenly lost his support and staggered awkwardly: "Do you want to kill me by falling?"

Su Mo: "Hehe."

He came to Su Xiaoxiao and asked, "Do you need help?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Just put the herbs on the table into the bamboo basket."

Wei Ting also came to help.

He spread the cut oil paper into the bamboo basket to protect it from snow and moisture.

Among the three people, one divided the medicinal materials, one spread the bamboo basket, and one packed the medicinal materials. The division of labor was clear and the efficiency increased immediately.

While packaging the medicinal materials, Su Xiaoxiao told the Five Tigers the information they had gathered.

The three of them were not surprised that Leng Ziling would not assassinate Helian Ye. Putting aside Leng Kui's attitude of always wanting to make peace, this was simply an impossible task, and the Leng family would not let Leng Ziling take the risk.

It’s not that the Leng family loves Leng Ziling so much, but Leng Ziling is the sharpest killing weapon in the Leng family’s hands. It’s a pity that he was killed by Helian Ye.

What really surprised the three were the last two pieces of news - Wei Xu left some relics on the border of Northern Yan, and the Leng family had been searching for them through a fragmentary map.

"What kind of relic could it be? Do you have any idea about this?" Su Xiaoxiao asked Wei Ting.

Su Mo also looked at him.

Wei Ting shook his head with a complicated expression: "I was not at the border at the time, and I have no idea what my father did."

Su Mo asked: "Does your brother have any clues?"

Gui Bu, Wei Qing and Wei Liulang may not know that Wei Xu left behind some relics, but perhaps they can extract some clues from the last few moments they spent with Wei Xu.

Wei Ting said: "Brother Eldest and Brother Six are in Southern Xinjiang now, so it is difficult to contact them. I will send a letter to Brother Two by carrier pigeon to ask him about our father."

Su Xiaoxiao pondered: "If the Leng family has been looking for it for several years without giving up, it must not be an ordinary relic."

Su Mo frowned: "The Leng family is too greedy."

Not only did he seize the military power of the Wei family, he even wanted to embezzle Wei Xu's belongings.

"There is one thing I can't understand. Why did your father leave his relics in Beiyan?"

Wei Ting replied to Su Mo: "I also want to understand it."

When Wei Xu was killed by Helian Ye, he was thrown into the crater of an ice volcano and even his body was never found.

If Wei Xu's relics could be found, it would be a comfort to everyone in the Wei family.

"The medicinal materials have been packed." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Wei Ting called Yuchi Xiu.

Yuchi Xiu was still angry that he didn't let him kill Qi Sheng, so he asked unhappily, "What for?"

Wei Ting pretended not to notice his little emotion: "Leng Ziling is going to Beiyan, and I will give you a new task."

The light in Yuchi Xiu's dim eyes reappeared: "Do you want me to kill him?"

Yuchi Xiu's face darkened.

Do you remember that I'm a killer?

When Su Xiaoxiao took Jing Yi and Fusu to Fengxian to buy food and grass, she also bought a lot of medicinal herbs. Some of the herbs were given at that time, and some needed to be transferred from other places. The drug dealer originally didn't want to deliver them during the New Year, and asked Su Xiaoxiao to wait until after the New Year. Su Xiaoxiao raised the price, and the drug dealer agreed.

I didn't know it would come to Wengcheng, and I told the drug dealer that it would be sent to Zibo Town.

According to the date, we should pass by the post station at Shilipo today. To the north of there is Wengcheng, and to the east is Zibo Town.

Wei Ting and Su Mo accompanied Su Xiaoxiao to pick up the goods.

The three of them waited at the post station for about half an hour before the drug dealer's carriage arrived, carrying a total of ten carts of medicinal materials, two of which contained prepared wound medicine and Ma Fei San.

Su Xiaoxiao inspected the medicines one by one. Although the price offered by the drug dealer was high, the quality was first-rate. Su Xiaoxiao was quite satisfied and paid the remaining half of the medicine fee: "Please send it to the Wengcheng military camp."

"Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it to you!"

Drug dealers dare not neglect the business in the military camp.

Su Xiaoxiao and the other two also got on the carriage.

Their carriage was faster than the drug dealer's and was ahead, but as they went along, they lost direction.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the curtain and said, "This is not the way back to the barracks."

Wei Ting said in a cold voice: "Doesn't someone want to eat roast duck?"

Su Mo looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "You want to eat roast duck? Why didn't you tell me?"

The eldest cousin said he was injured.

Su Xiaoxiao was confused: "I don't think I said that."

Wei Ting snorted: "I kept repeating it in my dreams."

Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat. She seemed to have dreamed about a lot of food.

She looked at the deserted streets and asked: "It's New Year's Day, are there any shops selling roast duck?"

Of course not.

Wei Ting asked Yuchi Xiu to search the entire city, and finally found a chef who made roast duck in a restaurant.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, which was ajar.

The three of them got off the carriage and were greeted by the aroma of crispy roast duck. Su Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva instantly.

Wei Ting took the two of them upstairs and asked for a room facing the street.

Not long after we sat down, a freshly roasted duck was brought up by the waiter.

The roast duck is fried first and then braised. After it is well-seasoned, it is roasted over the fire to bake the fat on the skin into a crispy crust, which is then spread with sweet honey and sprinkled with white sesame seeds.

It tastes salty and sweet, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you take a bite, the honey and gravy burst in your mouth, it is indescribably delicious and satisfying.

Su Xiaoxiao nibbled on it bite by bite. Even though she was thinner, she still had a round face. Her cheeks were puffed up when she ate, just like a little squirrel that was eating very seriously.

Someone said in a sly voice: "Roast duck tastes better than walnuts, right?"

Su Mo: Come out and fight! On the second floor of the inn opposite, a girl in a pink cloak pushed the window open a crack: "Uncle Han, look! It's those two people!"

The middle-aged man called Uncle Han came over and looked in the direction she pointed.

The girl said, "Am I right? He is the one who robbed the Snowland Gastrodia from us in Tianshan! Huh? The third person has changed."

Jing Yi was replaced by Su Mo.

That day, the two men were tired from traveling and looked a little dishevelled, and Wei Ting even grew a beard. Today, they are both well-groomed, Wei Ting has a handsome face, and Su Xiaoxiao also has a pretty face.

Something flashed across Uncle Han's eyes.
